Machesney Park board advances zoning map change, approves multiple variances
Summary
Trustees approved second‑reading on two ordinances altering zoning and site‑size rules for 202 Wallace Avenue and approved a second reading for a cannabis‑distance variance; several other zoning items were placed on the consent agenda for first reading.
The Machesney Park Village Board on June 16 approved a zoning map amendment and associated variances for a property at 202 Wallace Avenue and moved other land‑use items through the consent process.
Village Administrator Jane Rifter presented the consent agenda, which included Resolution 40 R 25 (a conditional award for Mitchell Road resurfacing using IDOT Rebuild Illinois funds) and several zoning and variance matters. Items on the consent agenda were: Ordinance 17‑25 (first reading: zoning map amendment from R‑1 single‑family to R‑3 multifamily at 202 Wallace Avenue), Ordinance 18‑25 (first reading: variance from lot size and site coverage at 202 Wallace Avenue), Ordinance 19‑25 (first reading: variance from rear setback at 7860 Nesting Eagles Street), Ordinance 20‑25 (first reading: special use permit for an open sales lot for commercial truck sales at 9941 North Alpine Road) and Ordinance 21‑25 (first reading: variance from the minimum distance requirements for a cannabis business at 1515 West Lane Road). The consent agenda as presented was approved by the board (voice vote; recorded as 6 ayes, 0 nays).
Trustee Bogie later moved to waive the rules and bring Ordinances 17‑25 and 18‑25 to a second reading the same night; Trustee Sipes seconded the motion and the waiver carried on roll call. The board then approved Ordinance 17‑25 on second reading (motion by Trustee Sipes; second by Trustee Stromberg) and approved Ordinance 18‑25 on second reading (motion by Trustee Bogie; second by Trustee Bailey). Both votes were recorded as 6 ayes, 0 nays.
Trustee Sykes moved to waive the rules for Ordinance 21‑25 for a second reading; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. The board then approved Ordinance 21‑25 on second reading (motion by Trustee Bailey; second by Trustee Sipes); that vote is recorded as 6 ayes, 0 nays. The record does not show written amendments to the ordinances nor details about conditions on the variances beyond the ordinance descriptions in the agenda packet.
The meeting record contains no extended debate on the land use items; trustees voted to advance or adopt the listed ordinances without additional substantive discussion recorded at the meeting. Effective dates or implementation details for the ordinances were not specified in the meeting minutes excerpt provided.
