Council denies setback variance request for shed at 11742 Highwood Drive
Summary
The Palos Park council voted to deny ZBA case 2025-06, rejecting requests to reduce side and rear accessory-building setbacks from 15 to 10 feet at 11742 Highwood Drive; the ZBA had recommended denial.
Commissioner Wade presented ZBA case 2025-06, in which the property owner at 11742 Highwood Drive requested variances to reduce both side and rear setbacks for a newly constructed accessory building. The Zoning Board of Appeals had held a public hearing on Nov. 12 and recommended denial (4–0).
The council moved to deny the variance, the motion was seconded, and a unanimous roll call approved denial. The council’s action declined to alter the standard 15-foot side and rear setback for accessory structures; no appeal or further amendment was made during the meeting.
