Zoning hearing officer recommends reduced side‑setback for shed in Tesla petition
Summary
The DuPage County zoning hearing officer recommended a variation reducing the interior side property setback from 10 feet to about 3 feet 10 inches for a replacement shed in a case labeled the Tesla petition; the officer said the petitioner satisfied ordinance requirements and updated the site plan as requested.
Zoning Hearing Officer Tracy recommended approval June 4 of a variation reducing the interior side property setback from 10 feet to approximately 3 feet 10 inches in the case identified in the transcript as the Tesla petition.
Tracy said the distinguishing fact in this matter is that an existing shed has stood on the property for several years and is being replaced or substantially rebuilt, which triggers the variation requirement; the petitioner satisfied the ordinance standards for a favorable recommendation. The hearing officer noted the petitioner updated the site plan to show exact setback dimensions and the shed size at the request of the hearing.
The officer executed a written recommendation approving the reduced setback and indicated the recommendation will be forwarded to the County Development Committee. No legislative vote occurred at the hearing; the action recorded was the hearing officer’s written recommendation. The transcript identifies the matter as “the Tesla petition” and records the reduced setback dimension (approximately 3 feet 10 inches).
