DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL /CHARACTER OF THE AREA
The petitioner is requesting a side yard variation to build a side - loaded garage on Lot 13 of Amberwood
Subdivision. The variation would reduce the north rear yard setback from 15' to 8.3' (this is based on the proposed
building envelope). The garage would face south towards Lot 14 of the subdivision and maintain a side yard
setback of 15 feet. The property to the north is landscaped common area; an outparcel of the Amberwood PUD.
The property to the east is a 3 -unit townhouse and south is a single - family lot, and the property to the west is a
platted lot within Covington Knolls Subdivision. The front and rear yard setback requirements adjacent to the
surrounding properties are being maintained.
PUBLIC RESPONSE
As of this writing, staff has received no inquiries in response to the public notices provided in this case.

1. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return:
• (Can this site perform under the current regulations in this ordinance ?)
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances:
• (Are there unique circumstances, not of the owner's ability to control, that result in difficulty
in compliance to the ordinance with the proposed use or structure ?)
3. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality:
• (Does the result of the variation(s) impact the local neighborhood ?)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Village does not generally grant side yard variations, however it has made several exceptions for single - family
dwellings that have side - loaded garages. Typically, however, the variation allows the dwelling to be shifted closer
to open space so the garage -side side yard may be farther than 15 feet. In this particular case, the variation would
allow the dwelling a minimum of 15 feet on one side and 8.3 feet on the other. The garage door has been recessed
greater than 15 feet from the side lot line to allow maneuvering space.

NEW BUSINESS, PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Case #24.33 —1376 Camelot Lane: Variation to side yard setback to construct a side
Toad garage.
A motion was made by Mr. Erber and seconded by Ms. Predey to open the Public Hearing for
Case No. 24.33 — 1376 Camelot. Lane. A roll call vote was taken as follows:
AYES: 5
NAYES: 0
ABSENT: 1
Motion carried 5 -0.
The petitioners, Raymond and Kim Sullivan, are requesting a variation to the side yard setback
from 15' to 8.3' to accommodate a side - loaded garage. The variation would reduce the north rear
yard setback from 15 from 15' to 8.3 feet. The garage would face south toward lot 15 of the
subdivision and maintain a side yard setback of 15 feet.
2
North: Landscaped common area of the Amberwood PUD
East: Three unit townhouse
South: Platted lot within Covington Knolls subdivision
West: Detention basin lot for Covington Knolls.
Kim Sullivan — 1277 Camelot Lane — the reason they are seeking the variance is to optimize the
lot. They think a side bad garage is more aesthetically pleasing. There is a sewer easement on
the south side. Because of the sewer easement they need to push it towards the north in order to
accommodate the driveway. There are some mitigating circumstances in terms of having open
space behind and next to them. They are planning to build something similar to their current home
at 1277 Camelot — a two story home approximately 4,500 SF primarily brick and drivett where it is
not possible to have brick. Mr. Schubert recommended using hardy board due to the fact that
there are a lot of mold issues and weeping with drivett.
AUDIENCE:
Stephen Dignan, developer of Amberwood - he has no opposition to reduction of the side yard
since it is up against open space. He thinks this will be a very nice addition to the neighborhood.
A motion was made by Mr. Bruce and seconded by Mr. Schubert to close the Public Hearing for
Case No. 24.33. A roll call vote was taken as follows;
AYES: 5
NAPES: 0
ABSENT: 1
