Plan Commission recommends approval for detached garage at Newcastle and rooftop solar at Waukegan Road
Summary
Plan Commissioner Zoe Heidorn told the board the Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval of PC 2602 (an 816-sq-ft detached garage at 9230 Newcastle, draft ordinance 26‑09) and PC 2513 (a roof-mounted community solar system at 8625 Waukegan Road, draft ordinance 26‑08). Both items were presented as first reads; no final action was taken.
Plan Commissioner Zoe Heidorn reported two zoning items the Plan Commission recommended to the board on March 12 and asked the trustees for any questions.
PC 2602: The applicants requested a special use permit to construct an 816-square-foot detached garage, driveway and patio at 9230 Newcastle Avenue; the garage requires a special use permit because it exceeds the maximum permitted accessory structure square footage. The Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval with conditions; those conditions are contained in draft ordinance 26-09. Trustee White called ordinance 26-09 a first read; no vote was taken.
PC 2513: The applicants asked to amend an existing special use permit to permit a roof-mounted community solar energy collection system for the sale of generated energy and a behind-the-meter system to supply the property's current public storage user at 8625 Waukegan Road. The case had been amended by the applicant to include all proposed solar systems; on March 12 the Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval with conditions reflected in draft ordinance 26-08. Trustee White noted this was a first reading and no action was taken.
Heidorn said the applicants were present to answer questions; the board did not raise substantive objections during this meeting. Both items will return to the board if the ordinances advance beyond first reading or if applicants request final action.
