21 Mr. Mangum provided an update on the 829-833 Foxdale lot consolidation application.
22
23 Continued Cases:
24 a. Case No. 26-07-V2: 286 Ridge Avenue: An application seeking approval of a zoning variation to
25 allow construction of a swimming pool at 286 Ridge Avenue. The requested variation would permit
26 the proposed pool to provide less than the minimum required corner yard setback from the north
27 property line along Mt. Pleasant Street. The Village Council has final jurisdiction on this request. This
28 item was continued from the April 13, 2026, Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. The Applicant is
29 requesting this item be continued to the June 8, 2026 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.
30 Jim Murphy informed the Board after reviewing the zoning ordinances, he could not find where a pool
31 would cause any setback issues which primarily related to buildings and site lines. Chairman Bradley
32 stated the Board did not have the applicant’s materials in front of them and the Village officials would
33 help him understand why setback standards are being applied to the pool.
34
35 Chairman Bradley then asked for a motion to continue the 286 Ridge Avenue matter to the June 8, 2026
36 meeting. A motion as stated by Chairman Bradley was made by Mr. Haller and seconded by Ms. Hanley.
37 A vote was taken and the motion unanimously passed, 6 to 0:
38 AYES: Bradley, Haller, Hanley, Leister, Nielsen, Vender
39 NAYS: None

41 New Cases:
42 a. Case No. 26-10-V2: 1412 Scott Avenue: An application seeking approval of a zoning variation
43 to allow expansion of the driveway at 1412 Scott Avenue. The requested variation would permit the
44 driveway to exceed the maximum permitted front yard lot coverage. The Village Council has final
45 jurisdiction on this request.
46 Mr. Marx summarized the application for the driveway expansion and variation for maximum front yard
47 lot coverage. He identified the property’s location, existing improvements, zoning classification as well
48 as site photos of the property. Mr. Marx noted the home was constructed in 1997 with a legally
May 11, 2026 Page 2
1 nonconforming front-facing garage that would not be permitted under the current zoning code. He
2 summarized the front yard lot coverage variation being requested and the existing driveway easement
3 for the neighboring property in detail.
4
5 Mr. Marx stated no comments were received regarding the application and following the applicant’s
6 presentation, public comment and Board discussion, the Board may decide to either continue the
7 matter to a date certain to allow time to address questions or comments or make a motion to
8 recommend approval or denial of the requested variation with draft language included on page nos. 8
9 and 9. He asked if there were any questions.
10
11 Mr. Haller asked for the calculation covered by the easement for the west neighbor. Mr. Marx
12 responded it was measured to be 153.06 square feet. No additional questions were raised at this time.
13
14 Chairman Bradley swore in those speaking to this matter. Adam Rothschild, the applicant and
15 homeowner, stated that the home was purchased in July, 2024, after which time they realized there
16 were driveway issues. He described the three front facing garage doors and stated that due to the
17 driveway’s narrowness, it is difficult to maneuver into the outer garage bays which also created
18 landscaping issues. Mr. Rothschild stated the issue created major safety concerns for the motorist and
19 pedestrians which he described to the Board. He also described his background in terms of evaluating
20 property safety issues and referred to a 2007 photo from Google Maps Streetview which depicted a
21 larger driveway. Mr. Rothschild stated the request would serve to restore the previously existing
22 functionality of the driveway which is smaller than the previous condition. He added that the neighbors
23 have no concerns with the request and asked the Board to recommend approval of the request. Mr.
24 Rothschild then provided photos to the Board for their review.
25
26 Ms. Hanley referred to the east side of the driveway and asked if consideration was given to installing
27 less pervious material to offset the amount of impervious being requested. Mr. Rothschild responded
28 that area related to the first 30 feet. Mr. Marx noted any surface material which would allow for walking
29 access or a vehicle to be driven over is counted toward impervious lot coverage and front yard lot
30 coverage, even if the material was capable of being pervious. Mr. Nielsen asked if the applicant had
31 three vehicles and Mr. Rothschild responded they have two vehicles. No additional questions were
32 raised at this time.
33
34 Chairman Bradley asked for public comment. No comments were made at this time. He then called the
35 matter in for discussion.
36
37 Ms. Hanley stated she had no problem with the request since it represented a safety issue as opposed to
38 an aesthetic issue. She also stated there is a hardship with regard to the west easement. Mr. Haller
39 stated after viewing the property and the amount of overage, he referred to the easement offset
40 compared to what is allowed. Mr. Haller then stated in considering the difficulty in terms of access, he
41 would recommend approval. Mr. Nielsen stated he is against the request and referred to the fact that
42 the house was constructed with a three-car garage. He also referred to the reasonable return standard
43 and described a three-car garage as a luxury item which did not meet that standard. Mr. Nielsen
44 concluded he would be against the request. Ms. Leister stated she leaned toward approval and viewed
45 the easement as a hardship. She agreed with the difficulty in maneuvering and stated the safety
46 concerns raised were a legitimate concern. Mr. Vender agreed with Mr. Nielsen with regard to the three
47 car garage concerns. He also referred to the safety concerns raised. Chairman Bradley agreed with the
48 safety concerns and stated easements did not make a property unique. He also described the existing
May 11, 2026 Page 3
1 driveway as nonfunctional. Chairman Bradley stated the first two standards are difficult to meet and for
2 the easement and the ability to use the garage in the manner expected, he suggested the Board
3 recognize the opportunity to correct what was designed. He concluded the standards have largely been
4 met.
5
6 Chairman Bradley then asked for a motion to recommend approval as noted on page nos. 8 and 9. A
7 motion to recommend approval of the variation request was made by Ms. Hanley and seconded by Mr.
8 Haller. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5 to 1:
9 AYES: Bradley, Haller, Hanley, Leister, Vender
10 NAYS: Nielsen
11
12 b. Case No. 26-11-V: 1287 Scott Avenue: An application seeking approval of a zoning variation to
13 allow construction of a second-floor addition to the existing residence at 1287 Scott Avenue. The
14 requested variation would permit the addition to exceed the maximum permitted gross floor area.
15 The Zoning Board of Appeals has final jurisdiction on this request.
16 Mr. Marx summarized the variations requested and identified the property’s location, zoning
17 classification and site photos. He stated the request is to add a second-floor addition which he described
18 for the Board along with the existing and proposed floor plan elevations. Mr. Marx noted while the
19 home is existing nonconforming, the proposed addition would otherwise comply with zoning
20 requirements. He stated no written comments were received and following the applicant’s presentation,
21 public comment and Board discussion, the Board may decide to either continue the matter to a date
22 certain to allow time to address questions or comments or make a motion to adopt the resolution to
23 approve or deny the requested variations with draft language included on page nos. 41 and 56. He asked
24 if there were any questions.
25
26 Chairman Bradley stated since the property is existing nonconforming, he questioned the Roofed Lot
27 Coverage and Gross Floor Area measurements and how they were calculated. Mr. Marx explained that
28 they are ultimately proportional to the size and dimensions of the subject property. He explained to the
29 Board the manner in which the property is compliant and where it is nonconforming. No additional
30 questions were raised at this time.
31
32 Chairman Bradley swore in those speaking to this matter. Theresa Rose, the applicant and homeowner,
33 and Rob Friedman, the architect, introduced themselves to the Board. Mrs. Rose stated that the home
34 was purchased in September 2025 at which time they were presented plans by the seller’s agent in
35 terms of what the home could become with the intention of adding a bedroom to make the home more
36 functional for the family.
37
38 Mr. Nielsen referred to the small amount of deviation in the variation request and asked the applicant if
39 they considered making the addition smaller. Mr. Friedman confirmed that it was considered and
40 explained the alternatives they considered, noting that the proposed addition best matched the shape
41 and aesthetics of the existing house. Mr. Haller asked if they considered articulating the rear roof. Mr.
42 Friedman stated they want to maintain the home’s architectural integrity. Chairman Bradley asked if the
43 new bathroom would the master bath. Mrs. Rose stated it would be an on-suite bathroom. Ms. Leister
44 referred to the amount of similar homes on 50-foot lots and asked if they considered converting the
45 garage into a first-floor master bedroom and building a detached garage, which is more feasible because
46 of zoning code requirements. Mrs. Rose confirmed they looked into it and explained why that would
47 create awkward and mismatched floorplans and would not be practical for the layout of the house. No
48 additional questions were raised at this time.
May 11, 2026 Page 4
1 Chairman Bradley asked for public comment. No comments were made at this time. He then called the
2 matter in for discussion.
3
4 Chairman Bradley described the request as straightforward. Ms. Hanley referred to the small lot with a
5 small ratio of permitted bulk and coverage, and noted the applicant’s family makeup and the zoning
6 requirements in place. She stated she would lean toward denying the request and stated the request did
7 not warrant a variation with there being room in the remaining available GFA ratio to work with. Ms.
8 Hanley stated the first two standards have not been met. Ms. Leister stated she also leaned toward
9 voting against the request and referred to the standards not being met although the variation
10 percentage seemed de minimis. She then stated there may be ways to trim down the request. Ms.
11 Hanley agreed the request could be reduced to affect the variation amount requested. Mr. Marx
12 clarified the amount of GFA counted with a pitched roof of the house and how upper-floor GFA is
13 determined.
14
15 Mr. Vender stated with regard to reasonable return, the request is a de minimis ask and referred to
16 ways in which the request can be reduced. He commented the proposed design is better and would be
17 more functional. Mr. Vender stated he would vote in favor of the request. Mr. Nielsen stated while the
18 variation amount requested is small, the standards are being picked apart in that they are not met. He
19 stated he is torn in terms of his vote and is leaning toward voting against the request. Mr. Haller agreed
20 with Ms. Leister’s comments and asked if the proposed addition is reduced 5 feet in the rear, would that
21 area relieve the amount counted toward GFA. He then stated he struggled with regard to finding a way
22 to give the applicant 100 square feet with his vote leaning toward no. Chairman Bradley stated the first
23 standard has definitely not been met although the property is unique in ways he outlined. He stated for
24 a project this small and the applicant has 315 square feet to use, the home would not look right if they
25 were required to strictly adhere to the standards and a denial would become punitive. Chairman Bradley
26 referred to the applicant’s proposal for a modest amount of GFA. Mr. Haller added due to the number of
27 small nonconforming lots in the Village, to deny a modest request of this type could result in more lot
28 consolidations. The Board Members discussed their positions in detail.
29
30 Chairman Bradley took a straw poll of the Board Members’ positions. He then asked for a motion to
31 approve the request as included on page 41. A motion to approve the request as presented was made
32 by Mr. Nielsen and seconded by Mr. Vender. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5 to 1:
33 AYES: Bradley, Haller, Leister, Nielsen, Vender

MEMORANDUM
VILLAGE OF WINNETKA
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
FROM: CHRISTOPHER MARX, ACIP – ASSOCIATE PLANNER
DATE: MAY 7, 2026
SUBJECT: 1412 SCOTT AVENUE – VARIATION (CASE NO. 26-10-V2)
INTRODUCTION
On May 11, 2026, the Zoning Board of Appeals (“ZBA”) is scheduled to hold a public hearing on an
application submitted by Adam and Jamie Rothschild (collectively, the “Applicant”), as the owners of the
property located at 1412 Scott Avenue (the “Subject Property”). The Applicant requests approval of the
following zoning variation to allow construction of an expanded driveway in the front yard of the Subject
Property:
1. Front Yard Lot Coverage (FYLC) of 943.06 square feet, whereas a maximum of 675 square feet is
permitted, a variation of 268.06 square feet (39.71%) [Section 17.30.030 – Intensity of Use of Lot]
[Note: The existing improvements currently consist of 828.06 square feet. The proposed
driveway expansion would add 115 square feet of FYLC].
A mail notice was sent to property owners within 250 feet of the Subject Property in compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance. The hearing was properly noticed in the Winnetka Talk on April 23, 2026. As of the date
of this memo, staff has not received any written comments from the public regarding this application.
The Village Council has final jurisdiction on this request, as only the Council has the authority to grant a
variation to exceed the maximum permitted front yard lot coverage.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property, which is approximately 0.27 acres in size, is located on the south side of Scott
Avenue between Vernon Avenue and Greenwood Avenue and contains an existing two-story residence
with an attached three-car garage (see Figure 1). The property is zoned R-5 Single Family Residential and
is surrounded by the same (see Figure 2). The Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject Property as
appropriate for single-family residential development. The R-5 zoning of the property is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan land use designation.
The property also contains an existing four-foot-wide ingress-egress easement on the west side of the
property which contains a portion of a paved driveway that serves the neighboring property at 1418
Scott Avenue.

PROPERTY HISTORY AND PREVIOUS ZONING APPLICATIONS
The existing residence was constructed in 1997. There were subsequent building permits for a kitchen
remodel in 2011, a roof replacement in 2022, and other minor permits in subsequent years. The Applicant
acquired the property in 2024. There are no other previous zoning cases on file for the Subject Property.
A building permit application for the proposed driveway expansion was submitted by the Applicant in
2025. The application was not approved because it did not comply with the front yard lot coverage
regulation.
Figures 3 and 4 on the following page are current photos of the Subject Property.

PROPOSED PLAN
The variation is being requested in order to expand an existing driveway within the front yard of the
Subject Property. The existing driveway would be expanded on both sides; 90 square feet on the east
side and 25 square feet on the west side with an asphalt surface and bordering pavers intended to match
the existing hardscaping. The width of the driveway where it intersects with the front lot line would
remain unchanged. With the exception of the requested variation, the proposed improvement complies
with the zoning regulations.
An excerpt of the proposed site plan is provided on the following page as Figure 6. The complete set of
plans is provided in the application materials (Attachment C).

REQUESTED ZONING RELIEF
The attached Zoning Matrix highlights the existing lot and the proposed improvement’s compliance with
the R-5 zoning district (Attachment A). One variation is being requested to exceed the maximum
permitted front yard lot coverage (FYLC). The maximum permitted FYLC in the R-5 zoning district is 30%
of the minimum required front yard setback, which means no more than 30% of the area measured within
30 feet from the front property line may be covered with impermeable surfaces or structures. The intent
of this standard is twofold: (1) to limit the amount of hard surface area located within the required front
yard and; (2) to discourage vehicle parking within the required front yard. The existing improvements
within the front yard consist of 828.06 square feet, exceeding the maximum permitted FYLC by 153.06
square feet (22.67%). The increase in FYLC with the proposed expansion is 115 square feet, bringing the
total FYLC to 943.06 square feet, whereas a maximum of 675 square feet is permitted, a variation of
268.06 square feet (39.71%).
It is important to note that the driveway on the west side of the Subject Property within the ingress-
egress easement, which provides driveway access for the neighboring property, is included in the
calculation of FYLC for the Subject Property and consists of 153.06 square feet (16.23% of the total
proposed FYLC and 22.67% of the permitted FYLC).
FINDINGS
Section 17.60.040 of the Zoning Ordinance lists eight variation standards that the Board must find a
variation application meets. The Applicant has supplied as part of their application materials a narrative
addressing how this proposal meets these standards.
After hearing from the Applicant, and the public, the ZBA may decide to act on one of two options:
1. Continue the public hearing to a specific date to provide the Applicant and/or staff with additional
time to address questions and comments from the ZBA; or
2. Consider a motion recommending approval or denial of the variation. If the ZBA is prepared to
make a recommendation to the Village Council regarding the requested relief, a ZBA member may
wish to make a motion recommending approval or recommending denial based upon the
following:
Move to recommend approval [denial] of the following variation granting:
A. Front Yard Lot Coverage of 943.06 square feet, whereas a maximum of 675 square feet is
permitted, a variation of 268.06 square feet (39.71%) [Section 17.30.030 – Intensity of Use
of Lot].
The Zoning Board of Appeals finds, based on evidence in the record or a public document, that the
variation requested is in harmony [not in harmony] with the general purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance and that each of the following eight standards on which evidence is required
pursuant to Section 17.60.050 of this Code have been met [have not been met] in connection
with this variation application [subject to the following conditions…]
The eight standards to consider when granting a variation are as follows:
1. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only
under the conditions allowed by regulations in that zone.
Page 6
Page 8 of 56
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. Such circumstances must be
associated with the characteristics of the property in question, rather than being related
to the occupants.
3. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
4. An adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property will not be impaired.
5. The hazard from fire and other damages to the property will not be increased.
6. The taxable value of the land and buildings throughout the Village will not diminish.
7. The congestion in the public street will not increase.
8. The public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants of the Village
will not otherwise be impaired.

ATTACHMENT B
Stormwater Volume Requirements for Development Sites
In addition to meeting the following storm water volume detention requirements, development sites must
meet all other Village storm water management requirements such as drainage and grading, storm water
release rates, storage system design requirements, etc. An exception is for lots along the lakefront that
directly discharge into Lake Michigan; those lots are not required to provide stormwater volume detention on-
site. They are required to meet all other Village stormwater system design requirements.
Storm Water Detention Volume Applicable Requirement
Requirements
A. New Home Construction - The amount of additional required storm
Previously Developed Lot water detention volume is based upon
the difference between maximum
impermeable lot coverage, per Zoning
Code, and existing lot coverage, using the
run-off coefficient for a 100-year storm
event for both.
B. New Home Construction - The amount of required storm water
Previously Undeveloped Site detention volume is based upon the

MEMORANDUM
VILLAGE OF WINNETKA
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
FROM: CHRISTOPHER MARX, ACIP – ASSOCIATE PLANNER
DATE: MAY 7, 2026
SUBJECT: 1287 SCOTT AVENUE – VARIATION (CASE NO. 26-11-V)
INTRODUCTION
On May 11, 2026, the Zoning Board of Appeals (“ZBA”) is scheduled to hold a public hearing on an
application submitted by Theresa and Michael Rose (collectively, the “Applicant”), as the owners of the
property located at 1287 Scott Avenue (the “Subject Property”). The Applicant requests approval of the
following zoning variation to allow construction of a second-floor addition to the existing residence on the
Subject Property:
1. Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 3,308.86 square feet, whereas a maximum minimum of 3,198.8 square
feet is permitted, a variation of 110.06 square feet (3.44%) [Section 17.30.040 – Maximum
Building Size].
A mail notice was sent to property owners within 250 feet of the Subject Property in compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance. The hearing was properly noticed in the Winnetka Talk on April 23, 2026. As of the date
of this memo, staff has not received any written comments from the public regarding this application.
The ZBA has final jurisdiction on this request as the ZBA has the authority to grant a variation to allow
a zoning lot with a pre-FAR building (constructed prior to 1989) to exceed the maximum permitted GFA
by no more than 10%.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property, which is approximately 0.18 acres in size, is located on the north side of Scott
Avenue between Randolph and Lake Streets and contains an existing two-story residence with an attached
garage and detached storage shed (see Figure 1). The property is zoned R-5 Single Family Residential and
is bordered by the same to the west, south, and east, while properties to the north are located in the
Village of Glencoe (see Figure 2). The Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject Property as appropriate
for single family residential development. The zoning of the property is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan land use designation.
The existing lot is a legally nonconforming interior lot that is 7,997 square feet in lot area, while the
minimum required lot area for an interior lot in the R-5 District is 8,400 square feet. Additionally, the lot
has an average lot width of 50.05 feet, while the minimum required average lot width for an interior lot
is 60 feet in the R-5 District.

PROPERTY HISTORY AND PREVIOUS ZONING APPLICATIONS
The residence was constructed in approximately 1931 with an addition constructed in 1994. Other minor
permits have been issued over the last several years. The Applicant acquired the property in 2025. There
are no previous zoning cases on file for the Subject Property.
In December 2025, a building permit for the proposed improvements was submitted and reviewed by
staff. Plan review letters that informed the Applicant of the zoning deficiencies in the proposed plans and
resubmissions were issued on January 8, February 13, and March 20 of 2026. Subsequently, the Applicant
submitted the zoning variation application which is currently being considered by the ZBA.
Figures 3 through 5 on the following pages are current photos of the Subject Property.

PROPOSED PLAN
The variation is being requested in order to construct a second-floor addition above the existing one-story
attached garage, which is located towards the rear of the residence. The proposed addition would consist
of a bedroom and a bathroom, that would measure 20 feet by 21.17 feet (423.4 square feet). There is
currently a primary suite, plus two bedrooms, and a bathroom on the second floor. The proposed addition
would add a fourth bedroom and a third bathroom on the second floor. With the exception of the GFA,
the proposed addition complies with the zoning regulations.
Excerpts of the proposed site plan, floor plan, and building elevations are provided on the following pages
as Figures 6 through 9. The complete set of plans is provided in the application materials (Attachment B).

The Village Engineering Department approved the building permit application submitted in December of
2025 for the proposed improvement. They noted that the approval pertains only to the proposed second-
floor addition and that no other impermeable lot coverage may be installed as part of the permit. Figure

REQUESTED ZONING RELIEF
The attached Zoning Matrix highlights the existing lot and the proposed improvement’s compliance with
the R-5 zoning district (Attachment A). One variation is being requested to exceed the maximum
permitted GFA. The increase in GFA with the proposed addition is 423.4 square feet, bringing the total
GFA to 3,308.86 square feet, whereas a maximum of 3,198.8 square feet is permitted, a variation of
110.06 square feet (3.44%).
FINDINGS
In the attached application materials submitted by the Applicant, the Applicant has provided a statement
of justification regarding how the requested variation meets the standards for granting the requested
zoning variation. The ZBA shall consider whether the requested variation meets the standards for granting
such variation.
Staff has prepared the attached draft resolutions for the ZBA’s consideration (Attachment C). One
resolution approves the request, while the other denies the request. A ZBA member may wish to make a
motion to: (i) adopt the resolution to approve the requested variation; (ii) adopt the resolution to deny
the requested variation; or (iii) continue the case to a specific date.

STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A ZONING VARIATION
FOR 1287 SCOTT AVE.
WINNETKA, IL 60093
1. The property in ques on cannot yield a reasonable return if permi ed to be used only
under the condi ons allow by regula ons in that district;
The R5 District requirements are based on a minimum lot size of 8,400 sq. , which then
dictates a maximum FAR of .4 or 3,360 sq . With a minimal 2-car garage of 400 sq. .,
that leaves 2,960 sq. . for habitable space. The property at 1287 Sco Ave. is
substandard in size at 7,994 sq. ., which then limits the FAR square footage to 3,197 sq.
., or 162 sq. . less than compliant proper es, which results in one less bedroom. This
substandard lot size and more-limited FAR square footage is a unique circumstance that
does not exist at other nearby proper es that are larger in size.
There is no way to add a 4th bedroom within the exis ng square footage of the home
without elimina ng key components of the home or rendering other rooms an unusable
size.
As proposed, the addi on will actually bring the floor area more in line with the Zoning
Code’s intent and what exists on other surrounding proper es that feature larger lot
sizes, thereby mee ng the purpose of the R5 District (Sec on 17.12.010).
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. Such circumstances must be
associated with the characteris cs of the property in ques on, rather than being related to
the occupants;
The exis ng property as pla ed is 7,994 sq . which is substandard in size for the
minimum lot size requirement in the R5 Single Family District, which creates a hardship
or prac cal difficulty peculiar to the property. If the property were appropriately sized
at 8,400 sq. . as required in the R5 District, the FAR would be compliant as proposed at
.39 and the varia on would not be triggered. The property was pla ed at least 113
years ago, prior to the current ownership and the current Zoning Code requirements, so
the hardship was not self-created.
3. The varia on, if granted, will not alter the essen al character of the locality;
The addi on will not alter the essen al character of the locality. It’s s ll only a 2-story
house and the addi on is in the rear and not visible from the street.
1
Page 30 of 56
4. An adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property will not be impaired;
The addi on will not be closer to the neighbors’ proper es that the exis ng house is
now so no light and air is affected.
5. The hazard from fire and other damages to the property will not be increased;
There is no increase from the risk of fire because the addi on is just a Bedroom suite, no
hazardous occupancy. The Bedroom is being built over an exis ng Garage and there is a
code mandated 1-hour fire separa on between the Garage and Bedroom.
6. The taxable value of the land and buildings throughout the Village will not diminish;
Taxable value should not be diminished because addi onal usable space is being added.
7. The conges on in the public street will not increase; and
Conges on in the public street will not increase because there are s ll the same amount
of people living in the house.
8. the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the Village will
not be otherwise impaired.
The addi on will not affect the public in any way. It is just a small addi on to an exis ng
private house with no increase in density. The same type and amount of people will be
living in the house.

WHEREAS, Section 7.A.2 of the Resolution provides, among other things, that the Resolution
will be of no force or effect unless and until the Owner has filed, within 60 days following the passage
of the Resolution, its unconditional agreement and consent to accept and abide by each and all of the
terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in the Resolution;

3. The Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Village is not and will not be, in any way,
liable for any damages or injuries that may be sustained as a result of the Village’s granting of the
variation, and that the Village’s approval of the variation does not, and will not, in any way, be deemed
to insure the Owner against damage or injury of any kind and at any time.
4. The Owner hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Village, the Village’s
corporate authorities, and all Village elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, and attorneys, from any and all claims that may, at any time, be asserted against any

attached to and, by this reference, made part of this Resolution (“Subject Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is located in the R-5 Single Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is improved with a single-family residence with an attached
garage (“Building”); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant desires to construct a second-floor addition to the Building on the
Subject Property that would exceed the maximum permitted gross floor area; (“Proposed
Improvement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 17.30.040 of the Winnetka Zoning Ordinance (“Zoning
Ordinance”), the Subject Property is permitted a maximum gross floor area of 3,198.8 square feet; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant desires to construct the Proposed Improvement on the Subject
Property with a gross floor area that exceeds the maximum permitted of 3,198.8 square feet, a
violation of Section 17.30.040 of the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant filed an application for a variation from Section 17.30.040 of the
Zoning Ordinance to permit the Proposed Improvement on the Subject Property with a gross floor area
of 3,308.86 square feet; (“Requested Variation”); and
WHEREAS, a public notice for the Requested Variation was duly published on April 23, 2026, in
the Winnetka Talk and notice was mailed to the owners of record of all properties within 250 feet of
the Subject Property as required by the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Winnetka Zoning Board of Appeals during a
meeting held on May 11, 2026, for the purpose of considering the Requested Variation with the final
decision being rendered at the Zoning Board of Appeal’s Regular Meeting on May 11, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the evidence presented, as follows:
1. Application for the Requested Variation submitted by the Applicant, dated March
26, 2026, including all attachments as well as all subsequent additions and
revisions to these application materials and attachments; and
2. All written and oral testimony concerning the Requested Variation.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals has determined that the Requested Variation does not
satisfy the standards for a variation provided in Sections 17.60.040 and 17.60.050 of the Winnetka

Zoning Ordinance because (i) the Requested Variation is not in harmony with the general purpose and
intent of the Winnetka Zoning Ordinance; (ii) the Subject Property can yield a reasonable return if it is
permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed for the R-5 Single Family Residential District;
and (iii) the plight of the Applicant is not due to unique circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals has determined that it will not serve and be in the best
interest of the Village and its residents to approve the Requested Variation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Winnetka,
Cook County, Illinois, that:
SECTION 1. RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are incorporated into, and made part of, this
