Planning and Zoning- Trustee Crockett

• Ordinance 22-12: An Ordinance granting a Special Use Permit to Randy Williams (Petitioner) & Robert Nally, (Owner) for a proposed Automotive Repair Business at 615 North Locust Street. On October 11th the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the request for the required Special Use Permit to operate an auto repair business in the FB-1 Zoning District. No one from the public was present to voice an opinion on the request, and after some discussion, the Planning Commission is recommended approval of the request.

• Ordinance 22-13: An Ordinance granting a Variance from Title 9, Building Regulations, Chapter 7, Section 9-7B-8(H), Maximum Lot Coverage, for the property known as 1064 Windfield Drive, Manteno, Illinois. This request was also heard at the same Planning Commission meeting on October 11th. There was no one from the pubic to voice an opinion either way. This variance request is in part due to the smaller size lots in Windfield Subdivision, which can make building a ranch style home on those lots difficult. Because the setbacks and all other lot requirements are being met, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance.

The next Planning and Zoning Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday October 25, 2022, at 7:00 am at the Village Board Room

The next Planning Commission meeting is canceled for Tuesday November 8, 2022, at 6:00 pm at the Village Board Room.
