4. PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF PETITIONS
A. DOCKET NO. ZBA25-0007 (2860 White Pine) - Petition by Alexis and Douglas Blum, for an exception to increase the height of a fence to 6’ in a corner side yard setback. The R-4 zoned property (PIN: 04-17-408-012-0000) is the site of a single-family residence. The exception has been requested to increase security and restrict access to the rear yard.
The petitioners request an exception to increase the maximum permissible height of a fence to be located within a corner side yard from 3 feet to 6 feet. The R-4 zoned property commonly known as 2860 White Pine Drive (PIN: 04- 17-408-012-0000) is the site of a single-family residence. The request accommodates a proposed fence which encroaches into the corner side yard to preserve existing mature bushes while maintaining the existing patio and backyard space. The purpose of the fence is to improve privacy and security, as there have been multiple instances of wildlife entering the premises. An exception is required to allow the additional 3 feet of fence height.
B. DOCKET NO. ZBA25-0006 (1307 Shermer) - Petition by Ira Holtzman, for a variance to reduce the rear yard and setback for a detached garage, and to increase the height of a proposed detached garage to 17 feet in the C-1 district. This item has been removed from the agenda as a revised application request was submitted and the relief being sought requires a public hearing to be conducted by the Village Board of Trustees. A new public hearing has been noticed to occur at the Board of Trustees regular meeting on August 12, 2025 at 7:30 PM.
