Public Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of River Forest, County of Cook, State of Illinois, on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Room of the Municipal Complex, 400 Park Avenue, River Forest, Illinois on the following matter:
The Zoning Board of Appeals will consider a zoning variation application submitted by Shaun and Julie Krueger, owners of the property at 346 Park Avenue, who are proposing to construct a second story addition onto the existing home. The applicants are requesting a variation to Section 10-9-7 that would allow the north wall of the home, which has a non-conforming side yard setback of 2.98 feet, to increase in height from one story to two stories. The applicants are also requesting a variation for a roof overhang of 1’-6” at the second floor level, resulting in a setback of only 1.48 feet to the roof edge.
The Zoning Code prohibits any increase in height of a wall which maintains a non-conforming side yard setback. The Zoning Code requires the roof eave to have a minimum 3 foot side yard setback.
The legal description of the property at 346 Park Avenue is as follows:
LOT 25 IN RIVER FOREST PARK HOMES SUBDIVISION OF PART OF THE WEST HALF OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 12, TOWNSHIP 39 NORTH, RANGE 12 EAST OF THE THIRD PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED AS DOCUMENT NUMBER 14446645 IN THE VILLAGE OF RIVER FOREST, IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
