BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Official notice for the public hearing for PZC 18-1-061 was published in the Naperville Sun on July 15, 2018.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is zoned R2 (Single-Family and Low Density Multiple Family Residence District) and is generally located south of Porter Avenue, east of Webster Street with a common street address of 626 S. Webster. The 0.30-acre property is currently improved with a single-family residence with an attached garage and three car detached garage. The petitioner, Brad Drendel, on behalf of the owners Kevin and Shari Dause, requests approval of a variance to Section 6-2-10:5 (Accessory Buildings, Structures, and Uses of Land: Percentage of Required Yard Occupied) to allow for construction of a parking pad that exceeds the maximum 25% lot coverage permitted for detached accessory structures in the required rear yard.
DISCUSSION:
Section 6-2-10:5 of the Municipal Code permits detached accessory structures to cover a maximum of 25% of the required rear yard or 480 square feet, whichever is greater. For the subject property, the required rear yard is the area included within the 25' required rear yard setback which is equivalent to approximately 1,748 sq.ft.; 25% of this required rear yard is equivalent to 437 sq.ft. Accordingly, since the 25% coverage falls below the 480 square foot minimum noted above, the property owner is permitted to cover a maximum of 480 sq.ft. The petitioner is requesting to exceed this coverage by 315 sq.ft. for a maximum rear yard coverage of 795 sq.ft., as demonstrated below.
