further recommend that Resolution R-4-06 be adopted at
appropriate time this evening. Motion declared carried.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker reviewed this request for several after-
the-f act variations; the Des Plaines Zoning Board of
Appeals approved the side yard setback of 0' instead of
the required 5' for the existing covered "patio;"
Committee approval is required for the building coverage
variation of 40.6% instead of the allowed 30% on property
located at 1912 Riverview Avenue to permit the attached
"carport" to remain as is; Staff is recommending denial
of these variations.
Petitioner Dimi trious Chronopolis addressed the Committee
of the Whole and answered questions from the aldermen;
the "carport" is needed because he has a handicapped
wife; he has a letter from a doctor and SSI verifying
that his wife is handicapped.
Alderman Murphy asked if the Staff was aware of these
letters. Mr. Chronopolos said no, he just received them.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that Zoning Case 05-38-V be referred back
to Staff for further review.
Alderman Brookman asked if, in the meantime, the
petitioner's wife could have access to the "carport."
City Attorney Wiltse said no, the "carport" is i n
violation of the City's Zoning Code.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Becker, to adopt a
substitute motion to recommend to the City Council that
Zoning Case 05-38-V be referred back to the Des Plaines
Zoning Board of Appeals because of the new evidence
provided by the petitioner, i.e. letters from a doctor
and SSI verifying that his wife is handicapped. MOTION
