There being a quorum present, the meeting was called to order at 7:00pm. APPROVAL OF MINUTES MR. BALDASSARRA MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE MAY 30, 2017 MEETING, SECONDED BY MR. SMITH, THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Carrato noted that the applicant is asking for a variance from Section 9 of Chapter 23 of the Municipal Code and called for the recommendation from the Building & Life Safety Department. Mr. Touloumis stated the recommendation is to allow the variance as requested with no sprinklers as stated in the application. It is not believed this was intended when the Code was amended to require sprinklers for this type of structure, but is in fact what is stated in the Code. Chairman Carrato entertained a motion to approve this variance with discussion after the motion. Carl Baldassarra moved to approve the requested variation from the Village Code, seconded for discussion purposes by Scott Smith. Mr. Smith asked what the distance of the shed was to the closest structure. Mr. Patel thought it was about 50 ft. to main building, the church. The reading room at the corner is a separate structure. Mr. Baldassarra asked what the type of construction the shed would be. Mr. Radadia responded wood construction on a concrete block foundation. Mr. Baldassarra asked for comments of the Fire Department. Mr. Touloumis stated they had no objections. Chairman Carrato asked if there was any electrical or conduit in the shed, to which Mr. Patel responded no, it is for storage only. It is in the same location as the old shed only larger. Chairman Carrato called for the motion. All were in favor, the variance was granted. The meeting adjourned at 7:06pm. 2  Variance request from Section 23-402, 903.2 of Chapter 23 of the Item: Arlington Heights Municipal Code at 4175 N. Bloomington Ave. Department: Building & Life Safety Request Petitioner, William Van Dyke, for 4175 N. Bloomington Ave., seeking a variance from Section 23-402, 903.2 of the Arlington Heights Municipal Code requiring fire protection system in proposed maintenance garage. Recommendation It is recommended by the Building & Life Safety Department to allow the maintenance garage to be built without requiring fire sprinklers. It is our belief that when the current amendments to the Fire Code were written it was not intended to require fire sprinkler for utility buildings of this nature. (The code, as currently amended, removed the standard code language that would have not required fire sprinklers for this garage.) ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Petitioner Request Correspondence
