Item 1
The south 144 feet of the east 50 feet of Block 10 in Ottawa North Subdivision to Ottawa, La Salle County, Illinois, commonly known as 210 W. Joliet Street owned by Dennis & Mary Weyer, for the purpose of a request for a variance to construct an addition more than 50% of the size of the principal structure.
Applicant: Dennis Weyer
Review: Applicant original request was a variance to add an attached structure that was greater than 50% of the primary structure. He now intends to build a 24’ x 30’ detached garage structure. It was noted that the primary house structure is 900 square feet. The detached structure will meet the minimal 5’ distance away from primary structure.
