Staff Presentation
C. Malec gave a brief history of the property. The subject property is zoned downtown
residential. C. Malec presented a history of the rezoning of the property as part of the
overall of the zoning map in 2012 and how it applies to the subject property. Any new
businesses coming into the space would need to apply for a use variation due to the
residential zoning of the shopping mall. There have been a handful of these requests
granted.

and background of the business. Ms. Plantenchi gave the Commission a copy of their
business plan.
Public Commentary

Commission Discussion
J. Holden asked about the comments made by the building department regarding the
request to add a fire alarm.
C. Malec stated that code enforcement requested information on how animal waste
will be handled. The petitioner is not planning to hold animals for extended periods of
time, so there will not be a need for much waste management, and will not be walking
dogs are part of their service. Any accidents will be property disposed of in the toilet on
site. If permitted, they would be willing to install a dog waste station outside of the
facility.
K. Anderson clarified that this will be an appointment only business and there is not a
plan to have multiple dogs at a time on-site to reduce the noise.
The Commission was in support of the application.

Staff Presentation
J. Marvin gave a brief history of the subject property and the request of the petitioner.
The property is located withing the Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District. The
petitioner is requesting to run a health club facility in the M-MU zoning district.
T. Wilson asked how this would differ from the Padel Clube proposal. J. Marvin stated
that the use is lightly different as one hosts tournaments and the other is individualized
without group fitness classes.
Petitioner Presentation
Justin Macke of Ryse Athletic Club was sworn in. Mr. Maki stated that the currently
Page 8 of 28
runs a 27,000 square foot facility in Gurnee and has been in operation since 2020. The
currently location is at maximum capacity, so they are looking to open an additional
facility in order to fit the needs of their current membership and allow members to
space out more.
K. Anderson asked if there was a reason why a commercial district would not be able to
meet their needs. Mr. Maki stated that one of the spaces they are looking for is an
outdoor space, which would not be available in a commercial area.
K. Anderson asked if they will be opening this as a second facility and keeping their
original in Gurnee. Mr. Maki confirmed that they plan to operate both locations.
T. Roswick asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Maki stated that the
facility is open 24/7.
K. Anderson inquired about the plans if it was a full buildout. Mr. Maki confirmed the
plan to do a full buildout of the space. K. Anderson further asked if they plan to
purchase the property or lease. Mr. Maki stated that he plans to purchase the building.
Public Commentary
T. Roswick opened the floor to public commentary.
There was no public commentary.
T. Roswick closed the floor to public commentary.
Commission Discussion
J. Holden asked if there would be another point in the process to trigger any conditions,
or if any conditions would need to be made entirely tonight. C. Malec stated that this
would be the one time to impose suggested conditions on the use.
The Commission discussed the transition of the year of the manufacturing district in
this area. They also discussed the length of time this property has been on the market
despite not having many industrial properties available. This property has not been able
to be filled for industrial use in a year's time, suggesting that the current facility, as is
may not meet the needs of the current industrial needs.
Use Variation Request
J. Holden moved, seconded by S. Petti, a Motion to recommend approval of a variation
to Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU
Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at 333 Washington Boulevard, including the
findings of fact as written, with the following conditions:

Subject: Public Hearing - PZ2026-0004 - 240 Banbury Road - Variation
Attachments:
1. Location Map
2. Variation Application
Background:
Property Owners Shaun Cepican and Danielle Beilfuss are requesting approval of variations to allow
outdoor enhancements within the required side yard setbacks at 240 Banbury Road. The property
currently contains a pool, deck, and patio located in the rear of the home. These existing accessory
structures encroach into the required side yard setbacks but are considered legal nonconforming
structures, as they have existed since at least the 1990s.
The Property Owners recently submitted a building permit application to expand the pool patio area.
The proposed project includes expansion of the patio areas, replacement of portions of the existing
brick patio with mulch and landscaping, and additional site and landscape improvements intended to
enhance the overall appearance of the property. Staff determined that certain proposed
improvements would expand the existing nonconformities, as some of the accessory structures are
not permitted to encroach into the required rear and side yard setbacks, and therefore variations are
required.
The subject property is located in the R-2 Single Family Residential Zoning District, which requires a
minimum interior side yard setback of 15 feet and a minimum rear yard setback of 30 feet. The
property has a triangular lot configuration with a large centrally located pool, which limits the
available area for additional accessory structures and enhancements. The application materials
include photographs of the existing conditions and proposed improvements.
Variation:
Section 20.52.060 of the Mundelein Zoning Ordinance prohibits patios from encroaching into the
required interior side yard setbacks. As shown on the plans, the existing patio encroaches into both
Page 12 of 28
interior side yards, and the proposed expansion would further increase the encroachment into those
setbacks. The proposed equipment pad would also expand into the northern interior side yard
setback. Therefore, variations are required for both improvements.
Comprehensive Plan:
The following policies from the Housing chapter of the Comprehensive Plan are generally applicable
to the proposed project:
• New residential developments should be designed to appropriately incorporate existing high-
quality/valued environmental areas and features.
• Enforce property maintenance does for residential properties.
• Ensure residential areas are adequately screened/buffered from incompatible adjacent non-
residential uses and activities.
• Ensure stable existing housing through regular, active code enforcement and preventative
maintenance programs.
Department Comments:
There is one outstanding comment for permitting from the Engineers:
- The applicant will need to demonstrate that drainage is conveyed along the side yards, to Banbury
Road, and that the allowable site impervious coverages do not trigger stormwater detention per
Section 300 of the WDO.
Public Comments:
There are no outstanding comments at this time.
Analysis:
The Village supports beautification and reinvestment efforts in all zoning districts. The submitted
before-and-after images demonstrate a significant visual improvement to the property, and the
proposed enhancements would create a more functional and enjoyable backyard area for the
Property Owners.
Staff also recognizes that the subject property has a unique triangular lot configuration, which limits
the available area for accessory structures and outdoor improvements. Despite the requested
variations, the proposed improvements would remain compliant with the maximum impervious
surface coverage requirement of 50%.
The primary concern identified by staff is the amount of proposed mulch area shown on the plans.
Staff recommends a condition requiring the Property Owners to submit a final landscape plan that
incorporates the plantings shown in the submitted 3D renderings before the next Village Board
meeting. Mulch alone is not as effective in promoting stormwater infiltration and absorption into the
soil. Therefore, staff recommends that adequate landscaping and plantings be maintained on-site to
support drainage and overall site sustainability.
Recommendation:
Page 13 of 28
Motion to recommend approval/denial of a variation from Section 20.52.060 for the property
located at 240 Banbury Road, subject to the condition that the Property Owners submit a final
landscape plan prior to the Village Board meeting.

SECTION OF ZONING ORDINANCE: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ZONING VARIATION (Attach additional pages, if necessary)
The subject property is a uniquely shaped triangular lot with a narrow rear apex, creating practical limitations on usable rear
yard space that are not typical of rectangular parcels in the zoning district. The property currently contains non-conforming
improvements within the required fifteen-foot (15') rear yard setback, including portions of the house, existing pool deck and a
paver patio that extends to the rear property line.
The Applicant requests a variation from the 15-foot setback requirement to allow a modest extension of the existing pool deck,
construction of a required exterior door landing, and installation of a pool equipment pad within the setback.
As part of the project, the existing paver patio that currently extends to the property line will be removed and replaced with
landscaped planting beds, increasing pervious surface area and improving drainage and aesthetics. While limited
encroachments are requested, the overall redesign reduces existing non-conformities and results in a more functional and
cohesive rear yard.
The practical difficulty arises from the irregular triangular configuration of the lot. The requested variation is reasonable in
scope, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood, and will not negatively impact adjacent properties. Rather, it
represents an overall improvement to existing conditions. Page 3 of 10

STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A VARIATION: 240 Banbury Rd., Mundelein IL 60060
In evaluating the proposed variation, the Zoning Administrator, Planning and Zoning Commission and
Village Board will make findings based on the standards imposed by Section 20.16.020 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Please provide a detailed response to each of the following criteria (attach additional
pages, if necessary):
a. The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance will result in undue hardship.
Response:
The existing property currently has a swimming pool installed by a previous owner that may or
may not have been installed while current zoning restrictions were in effect. The existing
swimming pool has surrounding patio areas with portions that are located outside the current
setback constraints. Some parts of the patio areas are dysfunctional due to condition and
design, and with some areas affecting proper drainage to the point of threatening the home's
structural foundation. The intent of all proposed improvements is to increase the functionality
and aesthetics of the existing swimming pool and outdoor living area, and to address the
drainage. To properly address all issues which include modified foundation drainage, proper
landings at existing entry doors with a layout designed to accommodate the foundation
drainage, and functional poolside patio space. The current design eliminates a significant
existing patio area that sits directly adjacent to a large portion of the backyard property line and
allows for landscape plantings that will benefit the proposed outdoor living space and the
neighboring properties. With all of this said, and with regards to the question of "undue
hardship", the new owner bought this property for reasons which included an existing swimming
pool. They saw the pool had large expanses of existing patio and deck space and saw that the
entire area would need to be modified to improve functionality and value. If the proposed
improvements are not allowed, the drainage cannot be properly addressed, functional door
landings cannot be installed, a functional patio area cannot be installed, and the existing
excessive patio area which far exceeds the current setback area will remain in place and with no
buffer/setback to serve the property and neighboring properties.
b. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.
Response:
Because the lot is pie shaped and narrows to a single point at the far end of the backyard, the
formulated setback lines take up far more space than an average rectangular lot. Also, because
of the pie shaped lot, the dimension of the lot width at the 30' front yard setback used to
calculate the side yard setbacks is much wider than the average rectangular lot.
Page 17 of 28
March 19, 2026 Page 2 of 3
c. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality
Response:
The locality appears to be a mixture of moderate architectural home styles. The proposed design
is clearly illustrated in the drawings and does not include any extreme variation of color or style
to what is found in the essential character of the locality. By removing the existing decks and
extensive paver patio, the proposed improvements will be significantly more in character to the
required setback rules.
The Zoning Administrator, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Village Board, in making its findings,
may further inquire into the following evidentiary issues, as well as any others deemed appropriate.
Please provide a detailed response to each of the following criteria (attach additional pages, if
necessary):
a. The particular physical surroundings, shape, ortopographical conditions of the specific property
impose a particular hardship upon the owner, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the
strict letter of regulations were to be carried out.
Response:
It seems as though increasing the appeal and value of neighborhood properties benefits all
property owners of the locality. As pointed out in previous responses, because of the unusual
shape of the lot, and because of the existing home layout and yard conditions, it will be difficult
for the owner to make necessary improvements that will have an impact on the quality and value
of the home and the values of the neighboring homes.
b. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having a
proprietary interest in the property in question.
Response:
The difficulty was created by the original community master plan developer and by the previous
property owners. The current owner purchased the property only with the intent to make
improvements and was not informed of constraints that would permit making the property
functional.
c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare in the neighborhood in
which the property is located.
Response:
As noted in other responses, it is our belief the improvements will only benefit neighboring
properties and the entire locality.
Page 18 of 28
March 19, 2026 Page 3 of 3
d. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property,
substantially increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the
public safety, or impair property values within the neighborhood.
Response:
None of these concerns will result from the proposed improvements.
e. The proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Ordinance and Village land
use policies.
Response:
Because the proposed improvements are increasing the space between the property lines and
patio areas, and because of the adding of space for privacy and ornamental plantings along the
property lines, the variation will allow for a result that is more consistent with the spirit and
intent of the Ordinance and Village land use policies.
f. The value of the property in question will be substantially reduced if permitted to be used only
under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located.
Response:
If left in the current condition, or if the design is altered to accommodate the current
constraints, the value of the property will be much lower than if the improvements are allowed.
Existing doors will become unusable and there will be inadequate room for a functional patio.
This point has also been made in previous responses.
