Trustees approve curb cut for proposed single‑family home at 1 Lafayette Street
Summary
The board approved a curb cut for a proposed owner‑occupied single‑family residence at 1 Lafayette Street, requiring the driveway width be limited to 12 feet and transition areas adjusted from the applicant's diagram.
The Village Board approved a curb cut for a proposed single‑family, owner‑occupied residence at 1 Lafayette Street after the property owner, Robert Matuszak, appeared to present a site diagram. Board members noted the applicant's diagram showed a 12‑foot driveway plus 5‑foot transitions on each side (a total of 22 feet) and said the village’s standard maximum driveway width for that residential section is 12 feet. The board approved the curb cut with a stipulation that transition widths be narrowed during the building‑permit review.
Trustees said the lot sits across from the bowling alley and emphasized ensuring the driveway meets off‑street parking requirements. The motion to approve the curb cut was made and seconded and carried by voice vote. The village will address exact dimensions during the building permit process and the applicant was advised to revise the plan accordingly.
