Ladd board adopts Ordinance 1206 to record residential variance for Bernardi
Summary
Trustees passed Ordinance 1206 to record a zoning variance for James J. Bernardi, reducing side-yard setbacks from 5 to 3 feet and the east front setback to 6 feet, 10 inches; Trustee Bernie Victor voted no and the attorney recommended increasing variance fees to $500 to cover recording costs.
The Ladd Village Board voted to pass Ordinance 1206 on March 10, 2026, granting a variance filed by homeowner James J. Bernardi. The ordinance documents a reduction of the north and south side-yard setbacks from 5 feet to 3 feet and reduces the east front setback from 25 feet to 6 feet, 10 inches so the change is recorded at the county recorder's office.
Village Attorney Pat Barry told trustees the recording and service costs were approximately $50 plus a $100 recording fee and said he "would strongly recommend" granting the ordinance so the county record matches the zoning change; Board discussion concluded the village should raise its variance fee to cover these costs and Barry will prepare an ordinance to increase the fee to $500. Trustee Bernie Victor cast the sole nay vote; other trustees voted in favor.
