Commission weighs driveway width and grants curbing relief for oil-change site
Summary
Commissioners approved a relief request to allow continuous curbing closer than the 6-foot ordinance requirement for an oil-change property and questioned whether the site’s one-way, single-car exit could cause left-turn backups.
Commissioners approved a request tied to case 20-26-16-P to provide continuous curbing at a distance of less than the six feet required by village ordinance. The chair read the motion seeking relief from section 118-212 to allow the reduced distance and commissioners voted in favor.
During discussion, a commissioner asked whether the exit driveway could accommodate two cars simultaneously; staff said the driveway was established as a one-way configuration when the car wash was built in the 1990s and is not wide enough for side-by-side movements. An operator present told commissioners, "we work at 1 car at a time ... and it usually takes about 10 minutes," and staff agreed to check with the petitioner on operational details before the Village Board hearing.
