Summary

The zoning board recommended and the village board approved rezoning 501 West Comanche to Mixed Use and granted a front-setback variance for 506 West Cherokee (with the condition prohibiting future enclosure without a variance); both approvals passed on roll call votes.

The village board voted to approve a zoning change for 501 West Comanche from C-2 service retail to mixed-use to reflect the building's apartment-plus-retail use; the zoning board's advisory report and findings of fact were in the packet.

The board also approved a front-setback variance for 506 West Cherokee to allow an expanded porch that will result in a 22-foot setback; the zoning board recommended approval with a condition that future enclosure or conversion to living space would require a separate variance.

Both items were approved by roll call: the board recorded yes votes in favor and the motions carried. The building inspector and zoning representative will proceed with permitting and notify the property owners of the conditions attached to the variance.
