PUBLIC FORUM: D. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. Conduct the public hearing for 406 S. Julian Street (Plummer Variance) - PZC 21-1-145 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, provided an overview of the petitioner’s request. Staff is in support of the corner side yard setback variance request but is not in support of the variance request for the wraparound porch noting the proposed home constitutes a new development built from the ground up and does not believe there is a hardship which would justify the need for a larger wraparound porch on the property. Len Monson, Kuhn, Heap & Monson, spoke on behalf of the petitioner providing additional details on the request. The Commission discussed the future roadway and sidewalk improvements. The Commission voiced support for the requested variances noting the hardship of the shape of the lot and that the design for the roadway is not finalized justifying the variance. City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 4/7/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes March 16, 2022 Public Testimony: Will Anderson raised concern with the trend of gentrification of old homes in Naperville, specifically on Julian Street, occurring over the past few years.
