Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
We
hear
testimony
from
those
in
attendance
and
then
make
formal
findings
of
fact,
based
on
the
evidence
presented,
which
consists
of
testimony
and
exhibits
and
on
our
knowledge
of
the
community.
We
then
either
make
a
determination
or
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
Testimony
is
taken
under
oath,
although
we
do
not
apply
to
strict
rules
of
evidence
and
procedures.
We
ask
that
you
keep
your
testimony
relevant
to
the
proposal
as
it
relates
to
the
standards
contained
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
A
When
you
testify,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
print
your
name
on
the
sign-in
sheet
provided
outside
the
door.
That's
for
in-person
meetings,
each
case
will
be
introduced
by
staff,
and
a
list
of
documents
will
be
read.
Aloud
will
be
read
into
the
record.
Then
the
applicant
will
give
an
explanation
of
the
proposal
after
that.
A
A
My
apologies,
please
call
the
role.
D
C
Member
call
in
our
chairperson,
colin
member
zeke
zeken.
A
Thank
you
kitty
and
now
any
members
that
were
absent
from
the
last
hearing
please
certified
for
the
record
that
they
have
read
the
transcript
on
any
matters
that
were
continued
to
tonight's
hearing.
I
don't
believe
there
were
any
items
continued
to
tonight's,
mirroring
so
tonight's
meetings
we
can
skip
that
part.
I
will
now
swear
on
anyone
who
plans
to
give
testimony
in
any
of
the
cases
scheduled
for
tonight
max.
E
F
G
B
D
G
A
Okay,
hearing
no,
no,
no
nays
that
will
pass
and
we
will
continue
our
meeting
electronically.
C
Would
you
like
to
approve
the
draft
meeting
minutes
from
may
18
2021.
A
Sure
we
can
do
that
while
we're
on
that
point,
I'm
going
to
actually
make
one
make
motion
a
motion
for
one
change
on
page
45,
the
final
page
of
the
packet,
I
believe,
there's
a
there's
a
typo
where
it
says
that
I
was
the
nate,
the
one
nay
vote,
but
that
was
actually
member
zorton.
A
G
Max,
if
I
could
a
very
minor
point,
I
just
don't
know
if
this
matters
at
all,
but
on
the
1731
howard
street,
the
applicant
is
referred
to
as
as
she,
but
as
I
recall,
it
was
a
man.
Am
I
remembering
that
correctly?
Okay,
we
just
might
want
to
make
that
correction.
F
F
Exceptions
noted
I
move
that
we
approve
the
meeting
minutes
of
may
18
2021.
A
C
C
Members
orton,
yes,
member
aravallo,.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
at
this
point.
Let's
swear
in
those
that
are
here
to
give
testimony.
A
If
that
is
you
please,
let's
sit
here
yeah,
so
I'm
not
going
to
swear
on
anyone
who
plans
to
give
testimony
in
any
of
the
cases
scheduled
for
tonight.
If
that
is
you
please
unmute
yourself,
and
you
can
just
do
this
by
raising
your
hand
or
making
a
verbal
indication.
Do
you
swear
and
affirm
the
testimony
you'll
provide
in
connection
with
the
cases
tonight
will
be
the
truth,
the
whole
truth
and
nothing
but
the
truth.
C
Sure
katie
ashbaugh
planner
for
the
city
of
evanston,
2100
ridge,
avenue,
evanston
illinois.
H
I'm
bill
gabrovsky,
I'm
the
architect,
I'm
representing
the
owners.
1632
keeney
street
in.
C
C
B
Yes,
this
is
mina,
I'm
the
owner
of
36.3
and
in
evanston,
if
necessary,
yeah.
I
can't
speak.
B
B
A
Thank
you,
okay.
I
believe
we
are
ready
katie
for
you
to
read
the
first
case
into
the
record.
C
C
The
first
and
only
item
on
the
agenda
this
evening
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
a
major
zoning
variation
for
the
property
3612
fair
street
cba
case
21
zmjv-0046,
olga
barabski
petitioner
submits
for
a
major
variation
to
allow,
in
addition
to
a
principal
structure
in
the
r2
single-family
residential
district,
to
encroach
into
the
required
rear
yard
by
approximately
16
feet,
where
a
30-foot
rear
yard
is
required
or
from
zoning
code.
Section.
A
Okay,
olga:
do
you
want
to
state
your
case
at
this
time.
H
Sure,
oh
katie,
do
we
have
that
slide?
Presentation
like
we
did
before
sure
just
a
moment
put
that
up.
H
H
H
It's
45
feet
wide
on
the
fair
side
and
it
widens
to
121
feet
on
the
alley
side,
when
the
house
was
originally
originally
built,
it
was
built
with
a
52
foot
front
yard
setback
which
made
original
house
non-conforming
with
a
30
foot,
rear
yard
setback.
H
A
previous
owner
had
put
an
audition
on
the
back
of
the
house,
which
resulted
in
an
eight
foot,
rear
yard
setback
around
the
same
time.
He
also
enclosed
an
old
deck,
which
is
why
we're
here
today
so
katie.
If
you
could
flip
to
slide
two.
H
So
if
you
look
at,
if
you
see
the
two-car
garage
and
just
south
of
that,
there's
a
room
number
says:
bedroom
four
and
the
bath
three.
So
this
is
the
addition
that
was
put
on
it's
an
in-law
suite
that
was
put
on
in
2002
and
at
the
same
time,
the
owner
then
enclosed
an
old
deck
which
the
room
that
says
sunroom
this
used
to
be
an
old
deck
that
the
owner
just
put
up
some
walls
and
some
screens
and
put
a
roof
over
and
it
became
a
screened-in
porch.
H
H
It's
still
built
on
posts
like
the
old
deck
was
so
it's
really
become
a
hazard
for
the
house
in
terms
of
energy,
because,
even
though
there
is
a
duct
underneath
that's
trying
to
keep
to
heat
and
cool
it,
it
just
can't
keep
up
with
the
demand
and
the
furnace
of
the
house
is
constantly
running,
which
is
resulting
in
high
energy
bills,
also,
the
plumbing
for
that
bath
3
in
the
in-law
suite
the
addition
that
was
put
on
in
2002
the
plumbing
to
that
bathroom
runs
directly
underneath
that
sunroom
and
in
the
wintertime
those
pipes
are
always
in
danger
of
freezing.
H
So
the
owner
is
having
to
constantly
keep
a
space
heater
down
there
to
keep
the
pipes
from
freezing,
because
the
old
deck
was
built
on
posts
with
some
lattice
some
wood
lattice
in
between
the
posts
there's
animals
are
constantly
trying
to
dig
under
and
get
under
the
sun
room
to
for
heat
and
in
the
winter
time
for
shelter
and
the
owner
is
having
to
remove
them
in
the
spring
and
then,
lastly,
that
space
isn't
very
functional,
because
there's
only
about
nine
foot.
H
Six
between
the
back
of
that
fireplace
and
the
screens
of
the
porch
and
that
space
is
divided
further
in
half
by
some
columns.
So
really
the
owner
can
only
use
that
space
for
storage
and
some
houseplants.
So
not
only
is
it
a
hazard
to
the
house
in
terms
of
energy
plumbing
animals,
it's
also
not
functional.
So
the
idea
is
that
she
would
like
to
remove
it
and
katie
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
one.
H
Thank
you.
So
this
is
what
we're
proposing
so
mina
would
like
to
demolish
the
old
sunroom
and
she'd
like
to
rebuild
it
on
the
proper
crawl
space.
Insulated,
put
double
pane
windows
and
slate
walls,
floor
ceilings
and
double
put
put
in
energy
efficient
windows,
while
also
pushing
it
four
feet
to
the
south.
Just
to
make
that
room
more
functional
and
she'd
like
to
open
it
up
to
the
living
room,
the
kitchen
and
make
it
a
part
of
the
thermal
envelope
of
the
house,
so
be
heated
and
cooled
along
with
the
house.
H
So
this
is
what
so,
the
dashed
lines
is
what
we're
proposing
to
remove,
and
this
is
the
existing
screened-in
porch,
with
a
flat
roof
and
some
non-insulated
inefficient
screens.
If
you
go
to
the
next
one.
This
is
what
we're
proposing
we're,
just
replacing
it
and
pushing
it
four
feet
to
the
south
on
the
crawl
space,
sloped
roof
for
proper
drainage,
siding
to
match
existing
and
new
energy
efficient
windows.
A
Okay,
thank
you
board
members.
Do
you
have
any
questions
for
the
architect.
D
F
A
Suppose
mean
it's
kind
of
a
funny
case,
because
the
requesting
a
rear
yard
setback
when
the
rear
most
part
of
the
building
is
already
further
than
what
they're
requesting
is
a
little
funny
funny.
F
F
No,
it
seems
it
seems
like
it's
just
a
very
sensible
solution
to
a
poorly
designed,
screened-in
porch.
I
don't
see
what
would
be
objectionable
about
this.
A
G
C
We
are
not,
I
you're
to
your
point.
It
meets
the
impervious
surface
and
building
lot
coverage
issues,
but
I
don't
foresee
any
drainage
concerns
in
it
and
when
it
did
go
before
public
works,
they
didn't
have
any
issues
with
it
at
all.
F
I
did
notice
also
that
the
it's
a
paper
system
at
the
very
back
of
the
lot,
so
that
will
assist
in
in
drainage.
H
A
Go
okay!
Well,
there's
no
more
questions
from
the
members.
Is
there
anybody
else
in
attendance
that
wants
to
make
a.
C
Statement
anyone
it
appears
there's
at
least
one
to
two
people
listening.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
and
okay
there's
one
other
okay.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
well
with
that,
then
I
will
suggest
we
close
the
record
and
the
board
members
can
feel
free
to
deliberate.
A
I'll
start
and
just
say
that
it
seems
like
a
common
sense
project,
it's
silly,
but
the
owner
is
spending
so
much
extra
effort
and
time
trying
to
make
the
energy
consumption
and
the
the
bad
scenario
out.
There
work
it's
a
weird
lot
with
a
weird
with
a
with
an
atypical
addition
on
anyway.
So
this
seems
like
an
obvious
way
to
close
in
that
central
space
of
the
floor
plan
and
make
it
more
of
a
roundish
shape,
which
will
make
everybody's
life
better.
G
D
D
A
Okay,
I'm
bringing
more
comments.
What
I'll
do
at
this
point
is
read
through
the
variation
standards
which
we
need
to
find
are
all
met
in
order
to
grant
this
very
this
variation.
If
any
board
members
disagree
with
what
I'm
reading
just
interrupt
me
at
the
end
and
we'll
get
your
comment
in
the
record.
C
E
A
All
good,
okay,
okay,
so
for
a
variation
to
be
approved,
the
zba
must
find
that
the
proposed
variation
does
all
these
seven
things
number
one
will
not
have
a
substantial
adverse
impact
on
the
use
and
enjoyment
or
property
values
of
adjoining
properties
standard
met.
The
building
addition
is
intended
to
serve
the
existing
permitted,
use
a
single
family
dwelling
and
is
not
visible
from
any
adjacent
right
of
way.
Number
two
is
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance
standard
met.
A
The
proposed
addition
will
allow
an
existing
structure
to
be
improved
upon
so
that
it
remains
functional
for
current
and
future
occupants.
As
a
single
family,
dwelling
number
three
has
a
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
that
is
peculiar
to
the
property
standard
met.
The
property
is
unique
in
its
shape,
resulting
in
an
atypical
placement
of
the
principal
structure
and
the
addition
is
remedying
a
deteriorating
condition
of
the
rear.
South
portion
of
the
structure
number
four.
The
property
owner
would
suffer
a
particular
hardship
or
practical
difficulty,
as
distinguished
from
a
mere
inconvenience
standard
met.
A
Number
five:
it
is
not
based
exclusively
upon
a
desire
to
extract
additional
income
from
the
property
or
public
benefit
to
the
whole
will
be
derived
standard
met.
The
addition
is
intended
to
improve
the
structural
integrity
of
the
structure
and
its
function.
Functionality
as
a
single
family
volume
number
six
does
not
have
a
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
that
was
created
by
any
person
having
an
interest
in
the
property
standard
met.
The
property
was
pla
platted
at
its
size
and
width
before
the
current
ownership.
A
The
odd
trapezoidal
shape
and
the
existing
building
location
together
create
a
hardship
for
any
significant
building.
Addition
to
the
rear
of
the
structure
not
visible
from
the
right
of
way
number
seven
is
limited
to
the
minimum
change
necessary
to
alleviate
the
particular
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
standard
met.
The
addition
is
the
minimum
proposed
to
achieve
the
structural
improvements
necessary
for
the
existing
structure.
G
A
Second,
all
those
in
favor.
F
A
Okay,
the
motion
passes.
Congratulations,
olga
and
mina.
A
And
city
staff
will
follow
up
with
next
step
next
steps
for
you.
A
Okay,
I
think
that
is
the
final
item
on
the
agenda.
We
can.
We
can
have
a
motion
to
adjourn,
but
it
might
be
appropriate
for
someone
to
make
a
motion
to
congratulate
muffy
for
her
years
of
service.
A
Which
I
would
happily
second.
F
And
I
will
I'll
miss
you
guys
terribly,
no,
in
fact,
in
fact
it
you
know
this
is
this
is
a
really
good
group
here
and
you
know,
I
think
that
it's
everyone
is
very.
As
I
said,
to
melissa
earlier
today.
Everyone
is
very
even-handed
and
thoughtful
in
listening
and
offering
their
perspectives
and
yeah.
I'm
sure
that
you
will
have
smooth
sailing,
as
you
continue
with
consolidations
and
whatnot.
So
best
of
luck
to
everybody.
If
you
get
out
to
sonoma,
give
me
a
buzz.
F
Well,
thank
you
carol.
That's
that's
nice,
but
you
know
the
last
of
the
blowhards.
F
Anyway,
it's
been
great
serving
with
you
all
and
again
best
of
luck
going
forward.
Thank.
