DuPage County recommendation meeting approves variance for Bierman property to reduce rear-yard setbacks
Summary
At a DuPage County recommendation meeting, the presiding official approved a two-page recommendation report in Case 24086 granting rear-yard setback variances for an addition and a patio; the matter will proceed to the county development committee. The body also approved prior meeting minutes and heard no public comment.
DuPage County officials approved a recommendation report in Case 24086 that grants two rear-yard setback variances for a property identified in the record as the Bierman case.
The recommendation meeting, called to order by Robert Cartel, adopted a two-page recommendation report finding in favor of reducing the required 25-foot rear-yard setback to about 8 feet for a proposed house addition and reducing a 3-foot setback to 1.5 feet for a proposed patio. The presiding official said the homeowners association also approved the request and that the applicant presented at a second hearing.
Why this matters: Setback variances change the allowable distance between a structure and property lines and can affect adjacent properties’ privacy, light and access. The county’s acceptance of the recommendation report moves the matter to the next administrative step: review by the county development committee.
Meeting details and record: The presiding official said there were two hearings on the case and that “Miss Spearman attended the second hearing and presented her case in sufficient detail” for recommendation of approval. The recommendation report for Case 24086 was described as two pages; the presiding official said he reviewed and adopted that report and that the matter will go forward with the county development committee. The meeting record notes that the homeowners association approved the request.
Other business: The meeting also adopted and approved the minutes from the public hearing and recommendation meeting of Feb. 5, 2025, which the presiding official said he had reviewed and approved. The presiding official announced there were no public comments at this hearing and then adjourned the session.
No vote tallies or motions with named movers or seconders were recorded in the meeting transcript provided. The transcript records the presiding official’s adoption of the minutes and adoption of the recommendation report; it does not record a roll-call vote or numeric tally for either action.
