DuPage County hearing officer grants zoning variation recommendation, will expedite written approval
Summary
A DuPage County hearing officer granted a petitioner's request for a zoning variation at a May 14 recommendation hearing, subject to standard ordinance conditions including a landscaping requirement, and said a formal written recommendation will be expedited.
A DuPage County hearing officer granted a petitioner's request for a zoning variation and said on May 14 that a formal written recommendation will be expedited.
The decision followed a short recommendation hearing in which the officer said the petitioner had demonstrated the requirements to support the variation. The officer said two neighbors who appeared at the hearing indicated approval and that the only apparent opposition was a letter from the village of Downers Grove. The hearing officer approved and adopted the minutes from the May 7 recommendation meeting during the same session.
The officer said the grant is subject to the ordinary conditions imposed for variation requests, primarily compliance with the county zoning ordinance and a landscaping requirement. The officer noted the written recommendation "will be transcribed, and I will expedite the approval of the formal written recommendation when I receive it." The hearing record indicated the formal written recommendation had not yet been filed at the time of the hearing.
There was no public comment offered during the meeting's public-comment portion, the hearing officer said. After addressing the single case and the minutes, the officer adjourned the recommendation hearing.
Less-critical details: the officer began the session by noting an earlier slip in the stated date (initially said May 7, then corrected to May 14) and that the petitioner had asked to expedite the recommendation; the officer agreed and implemented that request.
