1405 OXFORD RD:
Page 4 of 7 04/02/18
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated March 14, 2018.
The petitioner, Jason Hardy, is requesting a Tentative and Final Plat of
Subdivision, under Section 13-2-5 of Subdivision Regulations of the
City of Des Plaines Municipal Code, to allow for the creation of three lots from
a single lot in the R-1 Single Family Residential District, and a Subdivision
Variation, under Section 13- 2-6 of Subdivision Regulations of the City of
Des Plaines Municipal Code, to allow for lot depths less than 125 feet.
The applicant, Caan Homes, LLC, proposes to subdivide a single lot in the R-1
Single -Family Residential District into three lots. The existing 21,987 square -foot
lot has a frontage on both Oxford Road and Forest Avenue. If subdivided, the
applicant is proposing to construct a new single-family home facing Forest
Avenue on each lot. Lot 1 will have a width of a 70.00 feet and an area of 8,237
square feet, Lot 2 will have a width of 62.03 feet and an area of 6,875 square feet,
and Lot 3 will have a width of 60.35 feet and an area of 6,875 square feet.
All three lots meet the required area and width zoning regulations for interior and
corner lots in the R-1 Single -Family Residential District, as listed in Section 12-
7-2(J) of the Zoning Ordinance. However, the City's Subdivision Code (Section
13-2-5(R)) requires lots to have a depth of at least 125 feet. The proposed lots
have depths between 109.40 and 115.61 feet and do not meet this regulation. Per
Section 13-2-6 of the Subdivision Code, the Planning and Zoning Board has the
authority to recommend variations from subdivision regulations, so long as the
variations do not alter the requirements of the Zoning Code. In this case, all other
zoning regulations for the R-1 Single -Family Residential District have been met
and no other variations are requested.
There is currently a single-family home and a detached garage on the property.
The petitioner proposes to tear down this home in order to construct the three new
homes. Redevelopment of this property can aid in the revitalization of the
neighborhood.
The Planning and Zoning Board, after having heard and fully considering the
evidence, recommended (7-0) that the City Council approve the Final Plat of
Subdivision and Subdivision Variation at 1405 Oxford Road.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-7-18 Approving a Tentative and
Final Plat of Subdivision for 1405 Oxford Road and a Variation from Section 13-
2-5.R of the City of Des Plaines Subdivision Regulations with the following
conditions:
Prior to recording the Final Plat of Subdivision, a grading and drainage plan is
approved by the Director of Public Works and Engineering that would include
storm sewer construction to drain the proposed lots both in the rear yards and
Page 5 of 7 04/02/18
(Cont.) within the Forest Avenue right of way and a surety is posted to guarantee the
improvements are constructed.
UNFINISHED
BUSINESS:
Prior to Building Permit issuance, the Director of Public Works and
Engineering's review comments of January 21, 2018 are satisfied.
Moved by Rodd, seconded by Chester to Approve the Final Plat of Subdivision
and Subdivision Variation for 1405 Oxford Road, Case #18 -004 -SUB -V; and
further recommend that Z-7-18 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening.
Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
