Rusty Scurto of Triumph Construction addressed the Commission on behalf of Yulivan Carriers with their request for variances at their newly acquired property. He advised that they have plans to construct a 25,000 square foot industrial warehouse. Building Inspector Ranieri went on to explain that when the subdivision was annexed into the Village, it was zoned as Factory and Light Industrial. The rear setback at that time was ten feet and the annexation agreement ended in 2001. The zoning was then changed to an M-1 Manufacturing District with 40 feet setback requirements. The configuration of the lot poses an issue for a 40-foot setback. He then explained that the applicant is also asking to shift their off-street parking into their front yard by 12 feet. The reason for this is because there is an easement on the east side of the property where there is an access road and water main that runs to the water tower. Public Works does not want a parking lot constructed over the water main.
There were no questions or comments from the public.
Motion to close the public hearing by Holliman/Apke.
