Council approves yard-setback variations for 1205 Yorkshire Woods Court with 'wall' changed to 'buffer'
Summary
Council passed Ordinance O-2026-28 granting rear-yard and side-yard setback variations for property at 1205 Yorkshire Woods Court (Glonek) to allow a patio and pool equipment pad, including a modification in the ordinance replacing the word ‘wall’ with ‘buffer’ and a condition requiring a sound test.
The Wheaton City Council passed Ordinance O-2026-28 to grant multiple variations for 1205 Yorkshire Woods Court (Glonek), allowing construction of a patio and a pool equipment pad. Staff reported the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval and included a condition that a sound test be performed to ensure pool equipment noise complies with the City’s allowable decibel level. The ordinance was modified to change the word "wall" to "buffer" in the text.
City staff explained the applicant had raised concerns about the term "sound wall," and staff indicated a sound buffer was sufficient to meet the decibel standard. The roll call vote to pass O-2026-28 with the wording modification was unanimous.
Next steps: the applicant will proceed under the granted variations, subject to the sound-buffer requirement and the required sound test.
