Criteria for evaluating a nonuse (dimensional) variance petitions are contained within Section 15.03 of
the Village of Dundee Zoning Ordinance. This process establishes the procedures for the Zoning
Board of Appeals to make a decision based on the evidence presented to them with respect to the
following matters:
Section 15.03 Powers ofZoning Board of Appeals —
Nonuse (dimensional) Variances.
15.03.01 Where owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Ordinance would
involve practical difficulties, the Board ofAppeals shall have the power upon appeal to authorize
such variation or modi?cations of this Ordinance with such conditions and safeguards as it may
determine as may be in harmony with the spirit of this Ordinance and so that public safety and
welfarebe secured and substantial justice done.
Page 17 of 25
Agenda Item #8.a
15.03.02 Standards: The Board may grant a dimensional or nonuse variance only upon a ?nding that
practical difficultiesexist. A dimensional variance is a variance fromany dimensional standard or
requirement of this Ordinance, such as, but not limited to, a deviation fromdensity, height, bulk,
setback, parking, landscaping, and signage standards and requirements. A finding ofpractical
dt?iculty shall require demonstration by the applicant ofall thefollowing.‘
That strict compliance with area, setbacks, frontage, height, bulk, density, or other non-use matters would
unreasonably prevent the owner from using the property for a permitted purpose, or would render the
conformity unnecessarily burdensome;
(a) That a variance would do substantial justice to the applicant, as well as to other property
owners in the district,
(b) A lesser variance than requested would not give substantial reliefto the applicant and/or be
more consistent with justice to other property owners;
(c) That the plight of the owner is due to the unique circumstances of the property and not
generally applicable in the area or to the properties in the same zoning district such as
exceptional narrowness, shallowness, topography or area;
by the applicant;
(d) That the problem and the resulting needfor a variance is not self-created
(e) That the variance requested is the minimum amount necessary to overcome the inequality
inherent in the particular property or mitigate the practical di??culty; and,
(/9 The granting ofthe variance will not materially impair the intent and purpose ofthis ordinance.
The above criteria are used in evaluating the submitted variance request. Our review and analysis
details each of the applicable standards of Section 15.03.02. Our review is provided as follows:

The applicant is requesting a height variance from section 3.26 Site: Supplementary Height
Regulations (3.26.06 Silos and other farm structures shall be limited to ?fteen ( 15 ) feet above the
stated height limit.) Also requesting a side line variance from the required 20’ to 5’9’.
John Marion Inc is requesting to install a new pit conveyor with a new 10’x10’ bucket elevator at a
height of 110’ the pit conveyor will be encroaching on the side yard setback by 14’.3’

Agenda Item #8.a
requirement of this Ordinance, such as, but not limited to, a deviation from density, height, bulk,
setback, parking, landscaping, and signage standards and requirements. A ?nding of practical
di?iculty shall require demonstration by the applicant ofall thefollowing:
(a) That strict compliance with area, setbacks, frontage, height, bulk, density, or other non-
use matters would unreasonably prevent the owner from using the property for a
permitted purpose, or would render the conformity unnecessarily burdensome;
RESPONSE: Strict compliance with the zoning ordinance requirement of 60’maximum height plus an
allowable 15’ for farm silos would be a total allowable height of 75’ The applicant is requesting a total
height of 110’, and would not unreasonably prevent the owner from using the property for its permitted
pl.1l’pOSC .
(b) That a variance would do substantial justice to the applicant, as well as to other property
owners in the district,
RESPONSE: The variance would allow the applicant to have additional capacity to off load grain
with the holding capacity to store grain on the site to not change. The 110 height of the bucket elevator
would not be contained on the site, as the fall zone would encroach on neighboring propertys.
(c) A lesser variance than requested would not give substantial reliefto the applicant and/or be
more consistent withjustice to other property owners;
RESPONSE: A lesser variance would not allow the the applicant to construct the bucket elevator
because of the height of the existing silos. The lesser height would keep the neighbors out of the tower
fall zone.
(d) That the plight of the owner is due to the unique circumstances of the property and not
generally applicable in the area or to the properties in the same zoning district such as
exceptional narrowness, shallowness, topography or area;
RESPONSE: Currently the property is close to is building capacity as far as side line setback being
20’ each side with a total of 40’ there is however room in the rear of the site for future development.
(e) That the problem and the resulting need for a variance is not self-created
by the applicant,‘
RESPONSE: The problem is self-created due to the applicants need to off-load more than one truck
at a time.
09 That the variancerequested is the minimum amount necessary to overcome the inequality
inherent in the particular property or mitigate the practical difficulty;
RESPONSE: The encroachment into the setbacks are based solely on distances required for the
installed equipment to function as designed theirfor requiring it to be located within the allowed
setback.
(g) The granting ofthe variance will not materially impair the intent and purpose of this ordinance.
Page 19 of 25
Agenda Item #8.a
RESPONSE: The ordinance is designed to create guide lines and safeguards for all partys involved.
Granting this variance will materially impair the intent and purpose of this ordinance.
The applicant is requesting to exceed the height restriction of the ordinance, there is a risk of this
elevator to fall over a railroad track and a public road. Staff would ask if another location could
