Board grants variance for storage shed at 1490 Nottingham Lane; petitioner followed variance process
Summary
The planning commission recommended, and the board approved, a variance for a storage shed at 1490 Nottingham Lane after the petitioner followed the variance process; the petitioner said the prior plastic shed would be removed and neighbors signed statements of awareness.
The village board approved a zoning variation July 21 to allow a storage shed to be located closer to the corner side-yard at 1490 Nottingham Lane, following a positive recommendation from the planning commission.
Petitioner Gina Katarian told trustees she and her husband followed the required steps and obtained signed statements of awareness from nearby neighbors. She said the prior non-permitted plastic shed would be removed as part of the project. Staff reported no negative feedback from surrounding residents at the planning commission meeting.
Trustees asked about sight-line and drainage impacts; staff said there were no issues with traffic sight lines and noted the proposed location avoids a ComEd easement, drainage swale and placement that would affect a neighbor's side window. The board approved the variance by roll call.
Why it matters: The decision allowed a homeowner to replace a non-permitted small plastic storage shed with a permitted structure sited to avoid utility easements and drainage problems; staff confirmed neighbor awareness and no adverse sight-line impacts.
