Zoning hearing officer recommends 10-year setback relief for existing shed in case 26-028
Summary
DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer Robert Cartel recommended approval of a conditional use to reduce an interior side setback for an existing shed (case 26-028), clarifying the relief would run for the maximum 10 years before resubmission is required.
Robert Cartel, the DuPage County zoning hearing officer, recommended approval of case 26-028 on July 29, 2026, which seeks conditional-use relief to reduce an interior side setback for an existing shed from 10 feet to approximately 5.3 feet. Cartel told the record he had reviewed the hearing transcript and written exhibits and believed the petition met the applicable standards for a time-limited variation.
Cartel corrected an earlier oral statement to say the recommended relief would last 10 years — the statutory maximum — rather than five. "I meant to say 10 years, which is the maximum that we grant," he said while announcing he would execute the recommendation and transmit the matter to the county development committee. The recommendation is a transmittal for further review by the development committee and not a final county-board action.
