5 STANDARDS FOR GRANTING OF ZONING VARIATIONS 680 LOCUST STREET-AMENDMENT Applications must provide evidence and explain in detail the manner wherein the strict application of the provisions of the zoning Date Preg regulations would result in a clearly demonstrated practical difficulty or particular hardship. In demonstrating the existence of a particular difficulty or a particular hardship, please direct your comments and evidence to each of the following items: 1. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulations in that zone. Not Applicable, The Owner is requesting a zoning variation that will allow them to demolish the existing garage and build a new replacement garage that matches the existing garage in plan dimensions and will be constructed in the same location. 2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstance. Such circumstances must be associated with the characteristics of the property in question, rather than being related to the occupants. The existing garage has experienced damage from water and frost heave. The existing concrete slab has heaved and has excessive cracks. The garage doors are not level and appear to have experienced settlement and movement of the building structure. 3. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The new replacement detached garage will match the plan dimensions of the existing garage being replaced, and will be constructed in the same location. The new replacement garage will have a greater roof height dimension, being 18-feet above grade maximum. The new roof slope will match the roof slope of the existing adjacent house, so as to be more architecturally compatible with the existing home than is the existing garage being demolished which has a lower slope roof. The Owner will not increase the existing variation, and requests that it be granted to remain as-is. 4. An adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property will not be impaired. Light and air to the adjacent property will not be impaired since the new replacement garage will be constructed in the same location as the existing garage being demolished. 5. The hazard from fire and other damages to the property will not be increased. The new replacement detached garage will be constructed in the same location as the existing garage being demolished, and will not increase fire hazard, nor increase other damages. 6. The taxable value of the land and buildings throughout the Village will not diminish. The new replacement detached garage will be constructed in the same location, and match building area of the existing garage being demolished. Taxable value of land and buildings will not be diminished by the replacement garage. 7. The congestion in the public street will not increase. The new replacement detached garage will be constructed in the same location as the existing garage being demolished and will remain the same size. The new garage will be able to store three cars versus two cars currently. 8. The public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants of the Village will not otherwise be impaired. The public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants of the Village will not otherwise be impaired since the new replacement detached garage will maintain the existing size, location, and architectural character. For your convenience, you will find attached examples of general findings, for and against the granting of a variation, which have been made by the Zoning Board of Appeals and Village Council in prior cases. NOTE: The Zoning Board of Appeals or the Village Council, depending on which body has final jurisdiction, must make a finding that a practical difficulty or a particular hardship exists in order to grant a variation request. Property Owner s Signature: Provided Date: April 27, 2018 (Proof of Ownership is required) Provided Variations, if granted, require initiation of construction activity within 12 months of final approval. Consider your ability to commence construction within this 12 month time period to avoid lapse of approvals. Village of Winnetka Zoning Variation Application Rev
