Trustees approve driveway-variance ordinance for 2219 North Hillcrest Court
Summary
The board adopted an ordinance allowing an extension of the driveway at 2219 North Hillcrest Court beyond standard zoning limits, following a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation in favor.
The Village of Round Lake Beach Board of Trustees on July 21 approved an ordinance granting a variance to extend the driveway at 2219 North Hillcrest Court beyond the dimensions normally allowed under village zoning standards.
Economic Development Director Gail Rivera presented the item and said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the driveway extension. The extension involves widening or lengthening the driveway beyond typical setback or width allowances, as permitted by the variance.
Trustee Valadez moved to approve the ordinance and Trustee Barra seconded. The board approved the variance by roll call; recorded ayes included Valadez, Acting Chair Davis, Barra, Trustee Stout and Trustee Husk.
Why it matters: The variance alters the zoning limitations for the specific property and permits a physical change to drive access that may set a precedent for similar requests.
Meeting context: The item followed standard planning commission review and was presented as a final approval before the trustees.
