Motion: Trustee McAlpine moved, seconded by Trustee Weinhammer to approve an ordinance granting a waiver of the nonconforming lots requirement and variances to required front yard setback, side yard setback, and lot coverage for the construction of two single-family homes for the property located at 119 Pearl Street.
Discussion Director Simmons stated the petitioner was present to answer questions from the Village Board.
Trustee Cosler stated shifting both homes to the west could eliminate the need for a variance regarding side yard setbacks. Ms. Bastidas stated many of the other homes in the neighborhood run along the side of the house, on or near the lot line, to a detached garage. Since the homes the petitioners have proposed have attached garages, there is more space between the driveway and the lot line. Mike Graft, MJJ Construction, Barrington, stated the design was created based on market demand and to maintain consistency with other homes in the neighborhood.
