Board approves accessory‑building variance and rezones Lucky Lot on Main Street
Summary
Trustees approved ordinance 2026‑O5 granting a variance for an accessory building at 5704 Andrews Drive after applicant testimony, and approved ordinance 2026‑O6 rezoning 10774 Main Street (the Lucky Lot Building) to the Main Street Core district.
At the April 7 meeting the Village of Roscoe board approved two land‑use measures: a variance request (ordinance 2026‑O5) to increase the allowable size of an accessory building at 5704 Andrews Drive, and a map amendment (ordinance 2026‑O6) to change 10774 Main Street (the Lucky Lot Building) from Commercial Retail to Main Street Core.
For the variance, trustees discussed whether intended uses (storage or rental) for the new building affected the decision, and staff emphasized the central question is whether the proposed accessory structure fits zoning parameters. The applicant’s representative, Joseph Anderson, spoke on behalf of property owner Jim Baker and answered trustees’ questions about storage and parking.
The board noted the Zoning Board of Appeals had voted 3–1 and therefore did not make a positive recommendation (four votes were required), but trustees approved the variance at the board level by roll call.
On the Lucky Lot map amendment, staff said the rezoning request from Forge Holding is a reclassification to bring the property into the village’s core district; trustees voted to adopt the amendment.
What’s next: Staff will note the changed classifications and proceed with permit and code enforcement procedures under the updated zoning map.
