The Kewanee City Council denied Bill 26-50 on June 22, 2026, a variance request that would have allowed an accessory structure to be built at 1046 Terry Ave before a dwelling was present. The motion to approve the variance was made by Councilmember Komnick and seconded by Councilmember Baker; the motion failed, 0-5.
Under the proposal described to the council, a YES vote would have allowed the structure to be built without a dwelling on the parcel; a NO vote would deny that permission. The council recorded no discussion on the record before the vote. The denial means the applicant must either build a dwelling first or seek a different zoning relief pathway.
