PARKING Mayor Sherwood expressed his concern about the proposed

their automobiles on these streets beyond the 3 -hour
limit. The City's STAC (Staff Traffic Advisory
Committee) recommends that this ordinance be adopted.

of the proposed ordinance that would create a "hardship
exemption" from the 3 -hour parking limitation on

12/16/96
ZONING CASE Petitioner Robert Carlson addressed the City Council
96 -38 -V regarding his request to permit the construction of a
2264 garage measuring 24' x 38.14' instead of the allowed
EASTVIEW: dimensions of 24' x 30' and at a height of 21' instead
of the allowed 15', on property located at 2264 Eastview
Drive. Mr. Carlson stated that he has no basement for
storage and no empty attic space for storage, and is
making this request so he can store items on the second
floor of the garage, as well as to have full access to
the space to "putter around."
Director of Community Development D'Onofrio stated that
the Staff recommends denying the request because the
garage will be much taller than the adjacent one -story
residence, thus be out of character with the home; the
petitioner has not presented evidence that he has a
unique circumstance or hardship; and there is a potential
for non - permitted uses for this oversized garage, i.e.
illegal home occupations, in -law apartments. Mr.
D'Onofrio also stated that Mr. Carlson has been cited for
property maintenance violations concerning the amount of
possessions, including a semi -truck trailer, being kept
on this property.
The petitioner's friend, Bill Colbert, 212 Harmony, Elk
Grove Village, IL, addressed the City Council stating
that there would be no one living in the structure; it
would not have plumbing; it would be built by a
professional and be very good looking.
Alderman Chiropolos suggested that the petitioner expand
the house.
Mr. John Yaccino, 1779 Cora Street, addressed the City
Council asking why the City was being so hard on this
man; he is trying to conform with the City; the City
should give him the variation.
Alderman Beauvais asked the petitioner if he would
compromise and accept a garage height of 18'. Mr.
Carlson said yes.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Curley, to recommend to
the City Council to grant request for Variation to permit
the construction of a garage measuring 24' x 38.14'
instead of the allowed dimensions of 24' x 30' and to
build to a height of 18' instead of the allowed 15', on
property located at 2264 Eastview Drive. Upon roll call,
