10155 151st Street - Building Code Variance
History
The Village has received a request for a variance to the Village Code as amended in Section 5-1-13, item #4 Section 102.6.2 for “Additions Alterations and Repairs” and item #38 Section 501.3.1 for “Single Family Exterior Veneers. This residential building is existing and located at 10155 151st Street in the Orland Hills Subdivision.
The request is to vary the types of materials required on the first story exterior walls of an existing residence to be constructed with a brick/masonry veneer material. The owner is planning the construction of a second story addition over the existing single family residence. The current code requires at least 90% of the ground floor walls to be face brick or stone anchored veneer as referenced in the Village Code Sections noted above.
Preliminary plans have been submitted showing the construction and appearance for the second floor addition using new horizontal vinyl siding on the entire structure.
The residence is located within the R-3A Residential Zoning District allowing exterior walls of existing homes to be originally constructed without the use of a brick veneer on the ground level. The owner has submitted answers to the “Variance Standards” questions as published on our Village Website. Michael Schroers is the owner of the property at 10155 151st Street.
The existing zoning district has permitted existing, residential construction without an exterior brick veneer ground floor finish. The Development Services Department recommends the requested building code variance, as it relates specifically to the current brick requirement.
Plans submitted as prepared by Russell N. Odrowski (Registered Architect) job number 21109 are attached.
The Development Services and Planning Committee recommended approval (3-0) on August 15, 2011.
