MINUTES OF MEETING January 19, 2001 Cal. No. 63-00-Z

John J. George, for Bruce Crown, applicant, presented a written request for an extension of time in which to obtain necessary building permits for the construction of a 3-story masonry single-family dwelling whose front yard will be 11.5' instead of 15' and whose north side yard will be 1.25' instead of 4', on premises at 1665 N. Burling Street, approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on March 17, 2000, in Cal No. 63-00-Z.

Mr. George stated the principal reason for the extension of time request relates to the proposed utilization of a new building system (Insulated Concrete Forms) at the single-family residence. The ICF System offers large energy savings for the homeowner and has been demonstrated to be very environmentalJy-friendly in other areas of the country. The ICF System is new to the metropolitan area and has presented a learning-curve experience for the project architects and engineers. It is also anticipated that the ICF System will require additional review in the Building Department.

Chairman Spingola moved that the request be granted and the time for obtaining necessary building permits for the construction of the aforesaid single-family dwelling be extended to March 17,2002. The motion prevailed by yeas and nays as follows:

Yeas- Spingola, Crowe, Konstantelos, Martin, McCabe-Miele. Nays- None.

Bernard I. Citron, for Real Concord, Inc., applicant, presented a written request for a revision in the resolution adopted by the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 18, 2000, in Cal. No. 263-00-Z, granting the erection of a 2"' floor addition to an existing !-story building in order to establish 8 dwelling units, which building will have no front yard instead of 15', on premises at 5300-04 N. Ravenswood Avenue.

Mr. Citron stated that the applicant sought approval for the erection of a 2"" floor addition to an existing !-story building in order to establish 8 dwelling units at 5300-04 N. Ravenswood Avenue, with an east front yard ofO feet instead of6 feet and a west rear yard ofO feet instead of30 feet. Mr. Citron stated the variations sought were approved by the Board on August 18, 2000, but that the resolution erroneously references a variation for only the front yard, and for the wrong dimensions. Mr. Citron submitted copies of the variation application, the official denial from the Office of the Zoning Administrator and the notification letter sent to the applicable property owners located within a I 00 foot radius of the subject site in support of the requested revision.

At the request of Chairman Spingola, the audio tape recording of the August 18, 2000 hearing of the variation application in question was reviewed. The audio tape indicated that the testimony presented points to the proposed 2"" floor -~clition following the footprint of the existing !-story building which necessitated the front and side yard variations ~uested. Testimony from an objector to the application also referred to "yard setbacks."

Chairman Spingola moved that the NATURE OF REQUEST in Cal. No. 263-00-Z, be revised on its face as follows:

"Application for a variation under Atticle II of the zoning ordinance to permit, in an R5 General Residence District, the erection of a 2"" floor addition to an existing !-story building, in order to establish 8 dwelling units, which building will have a zero east front yard instead of 6 feet, and a zero west rear yard instead of 30 feet."

and that the balance of the resolution stands as written. The motion prevailed by yeas and nays as follows:

Yeas- Spingola, Crowe, Konstantelos, Mattin, McCabe-Miele. Nays- None.
