Planning commission recommends variance for six-foot solid fence at 601 Thackeray; Village Board asks staff to prepare ordinance
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of a variance to allow a six-foot solid fence in a side yard adjoining a street at 601 Thackeray; the Village Board gave general consensus for staff to prepare an ordinance to approve the case.
Assistant Administrator Bechler told the Village Board that the Planning & Zoning Commission held a hearing on June 23 and recommended approval of Zoning Case 2026-05, a variance to allow a six-foot solid fence in a side yard adjoining a street at 601 Thackeray. Trustee Steve Knar asked whether a variance had been previously granted with the property for the existing fence; Bechler said the petitioners inherited the fence when they purchased the property.
The minutes record that the general consensus of the Board was to have staff prepare an ordinance to approve Zoning Case 2026-05. The minutes do not include a recorded roll-call vote on the ordinance at this meeting; the action recorded is a staff referral to draft an ordinance based on the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation.
The minutes do not record any conditions attached to the recommended variance; the P&Z recommendation was noted "as written with no conditions." If the Board later considers the ordinance, staff may present refinements or conditions at that time.
