SUBJECT: Ordinance Granting Variations to §17.06.030, §17.07.020, and Engineering
Detail LS-6 of the Lemont Unified Development Ordinance for the Property
Located at 804 Warner Avenue, Lemont, Illinois
DATE: July 28, 2025
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
The property at 804 Warner Avenue is zoned R-4A Single -Family Preservation and Infill
District and is developed with a two-story single-family home constructed in 2015. As part of a
cleanup of open permit records during the Village's transition to the OpenGov system, staff
identified two nonconforming site elements: a side yard patio encroaching into the required 5-
foot setback, and a driveway widened with asphalt beyond the maximum allowed width. The
applicant is seeking variations to bring both conditions into conformance and allow final
closure of the outstanding building permit.
ANALYSIS
There is no evidence of adverse impact to neighboring parcels, and total lot coverage remains
below the allowable 65% threshold for the R-4A district. The improvements are consistent with
the property's residential use and character, and approval will allow closure of an open permit
record.
Consistency with Village Policy
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the requested variations.
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to adopt the ordinance.
