Owner says permits obtained, apologizes for earlier permitting confusion

DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals · July 27, 2026

Summary

Property owner Sanjeev Akhund told the zoning board he accepts responsibility for earlier permitting misunderstandings, has since obtained necessary permits and inspections, and said the conversion will not expand the building footprint and the owner is willing to modify layout or occupancy to address concerns.

Owner and applicant representative Sanjeev Akhund addressed the board and apologized for initial permitting misunderstandings, saying: "Since then, we have worked cooperatively with the county staff, obtained all permits, complied with inspections, and addressed each correction." He said the proposal converts an existing detached garage into living space without expanding the building footprint.

Akhund told the board he respects neighbors' concerns and is open to reasonable modifications "if there are concerns around layout, occupancy, or design elements." He asked the board to evaluate the application on objective zoning standards, inspections and county oversight.
