COMMITTEE ACTION:
BACKGROUND:
DATE:
The Subject Property contains an existing single-family residence and the Petitioners are proposing to
construct an addition on the rear of the home. The addition would be set back 22 feet from the rear
property line; therefore the Petitioners are seeking:
Special Use to permit a rear yard setback of 22 feet instead of the minimum required 40
feet pursuant to Section 10.06 (c) (13) ofthe Palatine Zoning Ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
• The Subject Property is zoned "R-2," Single Family.
• The Petitioners would like to add a 3-season room to the rear of their home. The existing home has a
nonconforming rear yard setback at approximately 35 feet. The proposed addition would have a
setback of 22 feet.
• The peak height of the addition would be 12 feet.
• The addition would be in-line with the south side of the house, which is set back slightly less than 10
feet from the side property line. The Petitioner is aware of this, and has indicated to Staff that the
addition will meet the 10 foot required side yard setback.
• There is a 10 foot utility easement along the rear property line. The addition would not encroach on the
easement. The property backs up to Salt Creek, which has an approximate easement width of 60 feet,
prior to meeting the closest residential property.
• Building coverage and lot coverage would be approximately 30.1 percent and 41.6 percent,
respectively. Both conform to Code.

1. Recommend approval of the Special Use.
