Mr. Bradshaw stated Community Services and Engineering have reviewed and no issues that were identified. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 28, 2023 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to construct a home addition off the rear of their existing residence. The Subject Property is existing legally non-conforming to the required side yard abutting a street setback, and could not expand the existing home in any way, without some form of zoning relief. Additionally, as comparable setback relief was recently granted to a property two lots away (936 S. Mallard Ct), and no issues where identified by either Community Services or Engineering, the proposal should not cause any substantial injury to the value of the other properties in the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the requested Special Use, subject to the following condition: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Site Plan and Elevations submitted by the Petitioner, Dan O’Toole, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village’s Codes and Ordinances.

He stated it is a very unique circumstance and in line with the neighborhood. Ms. Wood stated she sees no injury to value of the surrounding properties. She stated there are similar properties and makes sense with the configuration of this property. Ms. Wood stated it is not too far into setbacks and looks like it will be done in nice way. She stated it meets the standards. Ms. Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. This item will tentatively go to Village Council on April 10, 2023.

Winona St Chicago, IL Mr. Michael stated the current site is B-2 general business use so needs a special use for a daycare. He stated it is well situated being adjacent to residential and close by businesses. He stated the proximity to Route 53 and Northwest Highway is good for commuting parents. Mr. Michael stated the site was developed for office use which leaves little parking possibility for on-site expansion. He stated the daycare would be categorized as assembly space requiring 41 spaces. He stated the past approved daycare projects used the 1 space per 300 sq.ft. parking schedule and is closer to the needs of a daycare which equates to 31 spaces. Mr. Michael stated with staggered pick-up and drop-off times this number is not expected to be reached at any time. He stated they foresee the max being 26 which is the proposed layout. He pointed out there will be additional parking provided at the adjacent senior center for employees, and an access gate and new concrete walkway are proposed at the northeast corner of the site parking lot providing access to offsite parking.

Mr. Zabrian stated there is no real reason but looking at doing a one way drive where they can stop in front parking spaces and run child to door. Mr. Michael explained it is more of a security issue for parents to not bring to door. They expect the parent to drop in reception area where designated staff member will be waiting to direct kids to classroom. He stated the drop-off times will be staggered. Ms. Wood asked if there would be designated class times. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 28, 2023 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) Mr. Zabrian explained some children will not be there the full day alleviating the need for parking. He stated the peak times are addressed in the parking schedule. Mr. Michael stated the main drop offs will be between 6:30-8am with breakfast being around 8:30am.

Mr. Zabrian answered no, at this time we would be offering only all-day daycare. Mr. Bradshaw gave a brief overview stating the petitioner is proposing to open a new day care which would occupy the entire existing building. He stated they would have a fenced in outdoor play area on the south side of the existing building. He explained a special use is required for a day care to be in the B-2 zoning district and the variation is to permit 26 parking spaces instead of the minimum required 41. Mr. Bradshaw spoke to the business plan which includes 7 classrooms and indoor and outdoor play area offering childcare services for 6weeks- 6 years old and will hire fully licensed certified early educated teachers. He stated they will hire catering service instead of cooking on site and will have at least one staff with food protections handler certification. Mr. Bradshaw spoke to staffs concern of the original proposed location of the outside play area and additional parking. He stated both have been addressed in the new proposed plans with the play area being to the south and the additional parking being adjacent in the senior care facility. Mr. Bradshaw stated the drive aisle to the west will be one way going north to south. He stated staff has reviewed other day care parking usage and have determined the proposed with the additional off site paring is comparable to other sites within the village referring to the slide to show comparison to Dreamers and Children’s Land. He stated Community Services and Engineering have reviewed and had no issues identified. He stated Environmental Health has reviewed and wanted the petitioner to be aware that a permanent food establishment permit will be required and any use of catering services will be reviewed during the permit review. Ms. Wood stated it seems comparable to Children’s Land not Dreamers. Mr. Bradshaw explained it is comparable by the way the lots are laid out than VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 9 Packet Pg. 10  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals March 28, 2023 ratio of total parking and total occupancy. He stated both were planned developments so are not adhering to a strict parking count. Ms. Wood asked if there have been any parking complaints for the for the two existing day care facilities. Mr. Bradshaw stated not that staff is aware in regards to parking. Mr. Pirog pointed out most spots are across the street. He asked if pedestrian crosswalks will be added. Mr. Bradshaw stated no parking is currently proposed across the street. He referred to site plan slide to show the proposed spaces including 26 on site spaces which will be restriped for clarity. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 28, 2023 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) Ms. Wood asked how far the play area is to the residential. Mr. Bradshaw stated the previous plan was up to the property line with no buffer. Discussion on new proposed location. Mr. Pirog asked if the only entrance for drop-offs is on Northside. Mr. Bradshaw stated there is two way access to the parking lot on Northside. Discussion on maneuverability if the lot is full. Ms. Wood asked what was in the building. Mr. Bradshaw stated traditional office uses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioners are proposing to utilize the entire building at 415 S. Creekside for the day care facility. The Petitioners have worked extensively with Staff to address the parking short comings of the site by relocating the outdoor play area and leasing 5 additional spaces from the directly adjacent Grand at Twin Lakes Senior Living Facility. The relocated and completely fenced-in outdoor play area is not directly adjacent to the multi-family residential building to the north, and should therefore not cause substantial injury to the value of the other properties in the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the 5 extra parking spaces, leased from the Grand at Twin Lakes, are proposed to be utilized by employees. These additional spaces should alleviate potential parking issues during peak drop-off and pick-up hours. Ultimately, as the directly adjacent neighbor, the Grand, is amendable to leasing parking spaces and as the proposed traffic pattern and parking issues have been adequately addressed, the proposed use should not alter the essential character of the locality. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use and Variation, subject to the following conditions:  The Special Use and Variation shall substantially conform to the Site Plan, Business Plan, and Floor Plan submitted by the Petitioners, Raisa & Sergiu Zabrian, except as such plans may be changed to conform to Village Codes and VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 10 Packet Pg. 11  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals March 28, 2023 Ordinances.  A lease agreement to utilize gate access to 5 off-site parking spaces located in the northern corner of The Grand at Twin Lakes’ parking lot shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning and the Village Attorney.  Any final traffic directional signage or pavement markings for the one-way drive aisle, or pick-up and drop-off locations, shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.  The final fencing plan for the outdoor playground shall be submitted in a manner Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 28, 2023 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning.  The maximum occupancy shall not exceed 135 persons. The Fire Marshal shall post the maximum occupancy.  The final certificate of occupancy will be contingent upon approval by DCFS. There were no further questions. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Pirog made a motion to approve subject staff’s conditions; seconded by Mr. Cavanaugh DELIBERATIONS: Mr. Pirog stated he was only worried about safety, but staff has worked with the petitioner to make safe. He stated it meets the standards and will be good for Palatine and looks like they have solid plan. Mr. Cavanaugh stated his only concern was parking but thinks the petitioner and architect did a good job with the shape of the property. Ms. Wood stated it is an overall good plan. She stated childcare is in demand and the location is good and will complement the area. She stated moving the play area and adjusting the parking was a good idea to make it a successful operation and conform to the standards to operate with the public health safety and welfare. Ms. Wood stated they addressed the variation based on the type of business that will run there. Ms. Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved by a vote of 4-0. This item will tentatively go to Village Council on April 10, 2023.

He stated it meets the standards being that it won’t cause substantial injury to property and extensive cautions has been taken. He stated there are many in other areas. Mr. McGinn stated they can do it within 80 ft. to be within ordinance and the additional height is needed to enhance the efficiency. He stated the standards have been met. Ms. Wood agreed. She pointed out the towers and substation is already there and can add a shorter tower. She stated she understands the residents’ concerns but doesn’t think the addition will make much difference.

Country Club Court PROPOSAL: Special Use to permit a fence in the side yard abutting a street, where the side lot line of said yard abutting a street abuts the side lot line of the front yard of an adjacent lot. LOCATION: 24 E. Country Club Court CURRENT R-2 Single-Family District 3 (Myslinski) ZONING: Residential SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: North: R-2 Single-Family Residential South R-2 Single-Family Residential East: R-2 Single-Family Residential West: R-2 Single-Family Residential BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is proposing to install a 5-foot tall open-style fence, with the required landscaping, which would be set back approximately 5 feet from the side property line abutting N. Pepper Tree Drive. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: Special Use to permit a fence in the side yard abutting a street, where the side lot line of said yard abutting the street abuts the side lot line of the front yard of an adjacent lot. SITE ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property is zoned R-2, contains a single-family residence, and is located within the Pepper Tree Farms Unit No. 1 subdivision.  The Petitioners are proposing to construct a 5-foot open-style aluminum fence in the side yard abutting the street, which abuts the front yard of their adjacent neighbor to Page 1 Packet Pg. 21  3.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8269) Meeting of April 11, 2023 the north (1465 N. Pepper Tree Drive).  The proposed fence will be set back 5 feet from the side property line abutting N. Pepper Tree Drive. The Petitioner is proposing to install landscaping and arborvitae trees between the fence and side property line.  The proposed fence abuts the front yard of 1465 N. Pepper Tree Drive. Per Code, the required side yard abutting a street setback for a fence is 20 feet.  Per the submitted application, the justification for the fence location is the required 20-foot setback would significantly decrease the amount of useable yard space. Also, the Petitioner indicated that they have a dog and young grandchildren that need a safe and enclosed outdoor area.  The property at 23 E. Country Club Court, three lots north of the Subject Property, was granted a Special Use in 2015 for a 6-foot tall board-on-board fence with a 5- foot setback in the side yard abutting N. Pepper Tree Dr. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS: Community Services No Issues Identified. Engineering No Issues Identified. Environmental Health N/A Fire Prevention N/A Public Works N/A Police N/A STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2), (3), and (5) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. (5) With respect to front yard fencing and fencing in a rear yard/side yard abutting a street, the following additional standards must be met: a. Will meet the following aesthetic criteria: i. Will not destroy existing vistas in the area; ii. Will enhance the appearance of the homes and the streets in the area; and iii. Will not detract from the overall appearance of the community; or b. The fencing is found to be necessary to protect private property or the safety of the inhabitants of the property. Page 2 Packet Pg. 22  3.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8269) Meeting of April 11, 2023 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to install a 5-foot tall open-style fence in their side yard abutting N. Pepper Tree Drive. Comparable relief for a taller board-on-board fence in a side yard abutting a street was granted to another property in the immediate surrounding area (23 E. Country Club Ct). Ultimately, as the proposed fence plan includes a substantial landscaping plan, and the Engineering department did not identify any line-of-sight concerns, the proposed fence should not cause substantial injury to the value of other properties in the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use, subject to the following condition: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Site Plan and Structure Elevation submitted by the Petitioner, Larry Klein, except as such plans may be changes to conform to the Village Codes and Ordinances.

White Willow Bay TO: Palatine Zoning Board of Appeals Jan Wood, Chair FROM: Alex Bradshaw PETITIONER: Mary Henrickson CASE NUMBER: SU-000025-2023 ADDRESS: 707 S. White Willow Bay PROPOSAL: Special Use to permit an addition to be set back 20 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the minimum required 45 feet. LOCATION: 707 S. White Willow Bay CURRENT R-1A Single-Family District 2 (Lamerand) ZONING: Residential SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: North: R-1A Single-Family Residential South R-1A Single-Family Residential East: R-1A Single-Family Residential West: R-1A Single-Family Residential BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is proposing to construct a home addition off the rear of their existing single-family residence. The existing legal non-conforming home is currently set back 23 feet from the rear lot line, and the proposed addition will be set back 20 feet from the rear lot line. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: Special Use to permit an addition to be set back 20 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the minimum required 45 feet. SITE ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property is zoned R-1A Single Family and is part of the Willow Walk Unit One Subdivision. The Subject Property is approximately 21,100 sf. The lot consists of a one-story home with a 2-car garage.  The Plat of Survey indicates that the residence is currently set back only 23 feet Page 1 Packet Pg. 32  3.2 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8270) Meeting of April 11, 2023 from the rear lot line, therefore the residence is existing legal non-conforming with the required 45 foot rear yard setback for an R-1A zoned property.  The Petitioner is seeking a Special Use to permit a 3-season room addition to the rear of their house to be set back 20 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the required 45 feet. The proposed addition will not encroach into the required side yard setbacks.  Per Staff’s analysis, other homes in the immediate area appear to comply with the required rear yard setback for the R-1A zoning district. However, due to the configuration of the lot, the required rear yard setback for the Subject Property is restricting to the point where any addition to the primary structure would require zoning relief.  Through the review process, Staff notes that the existing site conditions include a significant grade differential between Subject Property and the adjacent property to the rear/northwest. The residence on the adjacent property, 1331 W. Haddington Ct, sits approximately 10 feet higher than the Subject Property residence.  Both building and lot coverage are well under the maximum percentage allowed by the Zoning Ordinance.

The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to construct an addition to the rear of the existing legal non- conforming residence. The single-story addition will be contained to the existing patio off the northwest corner of the home. Although there has not been comparable relief granted in the surrounding area, the addition will not be visible from the street and the significant grade differential with the adjacent property to the rear will not change the Page 2 Packet Pg. 33  3.2 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8270) Meeting of April 11, 2023 existing vista. Ultimately, the proposal should not cause substantial injury to the property values in the neighborhood. Nevertheless, Staff recommends Action at the Discretion of the ZBA.

The proposed addition will be set back approximately 22 feet from the rear lot line. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: Special Use to permit an addition to be set back 22 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the minimum required 45 feet. SITE ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property is zoned R-1A Single Family and is part of the Balogh Subdivision. The lot is approximately 12,205 sf and currently consists of a two-story home with a 3-car garage. The existing residence complies with the required 45 foot rear yard setback for an R-1A zoned property.  The Petitioner is seeking a Special Use to permit a 3-seasons room addition to the Page 1 Packet Pg. 42  3.3 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8272) Meeting of April 11, 2023 rear of their house to be set back 22 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the required 45 feet. The proposed addition will not encroach into the required side yard setbacks.  Per the submitted application and Staff analysis, the residence to the east, 1312 W. North Street, is existing non-conforming as the home is only set back approximately 18 feet from the rear property line. This area was annexed from unincorporated Cook County in 2005.  The Subject Property’s rear yard abuts the unimproved section of right-of-way for Hill Street. There are also four vacant lots that could be developed in the future, in addition to the southern section of Hill Street.  The Petitioner has submitted has also submitted a petition signed by all adjacent neighbors, stating that they have reviewed the proposed site plan and support the rear setback reduction for allow for a screened in porch to be constructed. An HOA approval letter was also submitted as a supplemental support document.  Staff’s review of the Subject Property concluded that the required rear yard setback is restricting the property to the point where any addition to the primary structure would require zoning relief.  Both building and lot coverage are under the maximum percentage allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS: Community Services No Issues Identified. Engineering No fill or leveling of the rear yard shall be allowed. Other than the addition, any excavated material shall be hauled off site. Environmental Health N/A Fire Prevention N/A Public Works N/A Police N/A STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to construct a 3-seasons room addition to the rear of their Page 2 Packet Pg. 43  3.3 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8272) Meeting of April 11, 2023 existing single-family residence. There is potential for further residential development to the north, but the present configuration consists of unimproved right-of-way and 4 vacant lots. Staff notes the any redevelopment in this area would follow the Northwest Sub Area plan, which would consolidate these lots into 2 buildable R-1A lots and would require the extension of Hill Street. If the 2 buildable lots are ever developed, there would be a minimum 32-foot setback to the proposed addition. Although the current home complies with the underlying R-1A setback requirements, the proposed addition and resulting setback would be greater than the existing home directly to the east (that home and setback existed at annexation). The Petitioner included sign-off approvals from the surrounding property owners and the Subdivision HOA to the west. Nevertheless, the contemplated encroachment is approximately 23 feet into the required 45-foot setback. Therefore, Staff recommends action at the discretion of the Zoning Board of Appeals. If the Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval, Staff recommends the following condition: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Site Plan and Elevation Plan submitted by the Petitioner, Jason Derbick, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village Codes and Ordinances.
