T-1-26 Proposed Text Amendments: Request to proceed with a public hearing before the  
DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals to consider proposed Text Amendments  
T-1-26 to the DuPage County Zoning Ordinance. The proposed amendments revise how  
the required separation distance between video gaming cafés and video gaming terminal  
establishments are measured from certain protected uses and from other video gaming  
cafes and terminal establishments. Specifically, the amendments would require the  
minimum separation of one thousand (1,000) feet to be measured to the nearest part of  
any building or tenant space used for places of assembly, schools, or day care facilities, as  
well as from any other establishment that operates video gaming terminals.  
County Board Member Evans had concerns about signage to advertise gaming  
establishments if they are near a protected use property. Mr. Hoss informed the  
Committee that they would be entitled to any signage that is allowed in the zoning code  
for businesses. He said he would speak to the State's Attorney's Office about possible  
restrictions and bring an answer back to the Committee.

ZONING-25-000065 – Hilltop Homes, Inc.: The Zoning Hearing Officer recommended  
to deny the following zoning relief:  
Variation to reduce the required lot size for two existing lots from required 75 feet/each  
lot to approximately 33 feet/each lot. (Downers Grove/District 3) (Generally located  
northeast of 61st Street and Stonewall Avenue, on the east side of Stonewall Avenue)  
ZHO Recommendation to Deny  
Chair Tornatore asked Paul Hoss to explain why the Zoning Hearing Officer  
recommended to deny petition. He told members that these lots were platted in the 1920's  
at 33 feet wide each and combined into one parcel number. At the rear of the property  
there are special management areas. Only the front of the property can be developed and  
to develop as one lot is too expensive. The petitioner did show plans for two homes on  
these lots with a shared driveway and indicated these would be affordable housing. The  
ZHO felt the petitioner did not exhibit a land use hardship.
