3) INFORMATION ONLY: Lusk Memorial Park – Jeff Pauk was present. He is the owner
of Madison County Surveyors and spoke partly on behalf of Madison County
Historical Society. The plan is for the Historical Society to take over the
responsibilities that the Lusk board has taken in the past. He presented two packets.
One being various articles put together over the years of the people that were buried
there and of the events that happened at Lusk. The other packet shows an article on
the cemetery itself. He confirmed that Lusk is a cemetery. There is a lot of
misinformation about the bodies being dug up moved to Woodlawn Cemetery. They
were not dug up and moved to Woodlawn. There are two cemeteries at Lusk
cemetery. The first is the original City burying ground. The second is the Lusk
Cemetery which is adjacent to an adjoining part of it. The City burying ground was
platted as part of the original City subdivision. In 2011, he conducted a survey of
these grounds. Part of the process involved included taking the old map where the
family plots were and superimposing that to what currently exists. On the North side
of the map between the Lusk part of the cemetery and South Street you can see
where the original City cemetery was located. There is no map of individual graves on
the City cemetery to be known. Lusk cemetery did have blocks that were laid out for
various families. On average these lots were 10 ft. by 17 ft. in size (roughly 10-12
people could be buried in one of these lots). These were purchased by the families
and do not know an accurate number on how many bodies were once there. There
were roughly 1,000 people but that would not include the larger blocks along the
West & North side. The original City cemetery is almost an equivalent size. It was said
that the reason it was closed down is because there wasn’t room left.

Re: Case 2021-45 Resolution for a Special Use Permit for 200 South Fillmore Street (PID 14-
2-15-11-12-204-026) from R-1 Single Family Residential District
Dear Mayor and Council:
Your Zoning Board of Appeals transmits for your consideration its recommendations on a Special
Use Permit to allow the owner of 200 South Fillmore Street to allow for a “Type B” Non-Owner Occupied
Short-Term Rental. The property is currently zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District.
After due notice as required by law, the Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on
November 22, 2021 at City Hall, 118 Hillsboro Avenue, Edwardsville, Illinois.
The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the Special Use Permit with the condition
that it is issued in the name of the applicants only and is not transferrable, by a vote of 4 ayes, 0 nays and 0
abstain, based on the following findings of fact:
1. Existing uses and zoning of nearby property and relationship to Edwardsville’s adopted comprehensive
plan.
Direction Zoning Designation Use
North R-1 Single-Family Residential District Religious Institution
East R-1 Single-Family Residential District Commercial
South R-1 Single-Family Residential District Single-Family Dwelling
West B-1C Downtown Transition District Commercial
2. Extent to which property value diminishes adjacent to the zoned parcels. Value decrease to be
supplied by the petitioner and made by professional appraiser.
No property value information provided by petitioner.

Zoning Resolution of a Special Use Permit
3. Extent to which the proposed change alters or promotes the public health, safety morals or general
welfare.
The proposed use will neither alter nor promote the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare of
the community.
4. The relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon the property owners, and
there is a need for the proposed special use.
The proposed Short-Term Rental use would provide Edwardsville’s visitors with a more local
experience for their stay. While this type of special use could allow for potential hardships for adjoining
property owners such as neighborhood disturbances and increased traffic due to transient tenants staff
feels that the location on the edge of the downtown district is appropriate.
5. The suitability of the subject property for the zoned purposes indicated by ordinance.
The property is suitable for the Permitted Uses listed in the R-1 Single Family Residential District and
could easily be occupied by a permitted use (e.g. single-family dwelling). It should be noted that there
is no off-street parking available on this parcel and that all parking is located on the street, similar to
other parcels in the neighborhood.
According by a vote of 4 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 abstain, the Zoning Board of Appeals recommend approval of
the requested Special Use Permit with the condition that it is issued in the name of the applicants only and
is not transferrable.
Respectfully submitted,

November 22, 2021
APPLICANT:
Collin and Sophie Gifford
LOCATION:
The subject property is located at 200 South Fillmore Street.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST & OVERVIEW:
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit in order to allow a “Type B” Non-Owner
Occupied Short-Term Rental. The City of Edwardsville has recently adopted an ordinance
allowing Short-Term Rentals within the City. “Type A” Owner Occupied Short-Term Rentals are

are characterized by the owner living off-site, while the short-term renters are the only
occupants of the structure.
AREA LAND USE AND ZONING:
The subject property is zoned “R-1” Single-Family Residential District. The adjoining properties
are zoned and used as follows:
Direction Zoning Designation Use
“R-1” Single-Family Residential
North Religious Institution
District
“R-1” Single-Family Residential
South Single-Family Dwelling
District
“R-1” Single-Family Residential
East Commercial Use
District
“B-1C” Downtown Transition
West Commercial
District
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the future land use for this property as Neighborhood. The
existing zoning is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan. The single-family dwelling will
continue to be used as living space with the proposed SUP but it would allow a shorter duration
of stay for guests.
APPLICABLE SECTION OF ORDINANCE
1248.02.31 – SHORT-TERM RENTALS
(b) TYPE B SHORT-TERM RENTAL - NON-OWNER OCCUPIED REQUIREMENTS
(1) The owner of the dwelling is not present on-site during the short-term rental.
(2) “Type B” Short-Term Rentals are permitted in “B-1A”, “B-1B”, “B-1C”, and “MU-1”
Districts and shall only be permitted by Special Use Permit in “R-1”, “R-EL”, and “R-2” and
“NR” Districts.
(3) Only one group of patrons in a 24-hour period shall be allowed in a “Type B” short-term
rental unit.
(4) Not more than thirty (30) “Type B” Short-Term Rental units shall be permitted within city
limits.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT:
(d) Requirements for Authorization:
(1) Existing uses and zoning of nearby property and relationship to Edwardsville’s adopted
comprehensive plan.
See AREA LAND USE AND ZONING and PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS above.
(2) Extent to which property value diminishes adjacent to the zoned parcels. Value
decrease to be supplied by the petitioner and made by professional appraiser.

AGENDA
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
ZBA Case 2021-45 Special Use Permit
200 South Fillmore Street - Page 3 of 4
No property value information provided by petitioner.
(3) Extent to which the proposed change alters or promotes the public health, safety
morals or general welfare.
The proposed use will neither alter nor promote the public health, safety, morals, or
general welfare of the community.
(4) The relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon the property
owners, and there is a need for the proposed special use.
The proposed Short-Term Rental use would provide Edwardsville’s visitors with a more
local experience for their stay. While this type of special use could allow for potential
hardships for adjoining property owners such as neighborhood disturbances and
increased traffic due to transient tenants staff feel that the location on the edge of the
downtown district is appropriate.
(5) The suitability of the subject property for the zoned purposes indicated by ordinance.
The property is suitable for the Permitted Uses listed in the R-1 Single Family Residential
District and could easily be occupied by a permitted use (e.g. single-family dwelling). It
should be noted that there is no off-street parking available on this –parcel and that all
parking is located on the street, similar to other parcels in the neighborhood.
(e) Conditions: The Board may provide such conditions or restrictions upon the construction,
location and operations for a special use, including, but not limited to: provisions for the
protection of adjacent property, the expiration of such special use after a specified period
of time, off-street parking and loading, as may be deemed necessary to secure the general
objectives of this Zoning Code, and to reduce injury to the value of the property in the
neighborhood.
Please see the “Staff Recommendation” section.
(f) Expiration: In the event the Board establishes no time limitation within which the
proposed use is to be exercised, then the permit shall expire in one year. Nothing shall
preclude an applicant from reapplying for the same special use permit upon expiration.
(i) Transfer of Special Use Permit: A special use permit is issued for a specified zoning lot or
lots and shall only be allowed to transfer from that location, or to another occupant or
owner, as follows:
(1) All requests for transfers must be filed on an application form available through the
public works department.
