CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS- CHAIR TORNATORE  
Chair Tornatore said goodbye to Member Chaplin and wished her luck in her new endeavors.  
PUBLIC COMMENT  
Mr. Ramy Shenouda spoke on behalf of the Construction Solutions petition. The property is  
located at the corner of Madison Street and 90th Street. They are asking for variations to  
subdivide the property to build two homes. He noted that many larger parcels in the area have  
already been divided. He feels that this would enhance the look of the neighborhood and be an  
upgrade to the old dilapidated house that is currently there.

REGULATORY SERVICES  
6.A.  
DC-O-0062-24  
ZONING-24-000059 – ORDINANCE – Construction Solutions, LLC.: The Zoning  
Board of Appeals recommended to deny the following zoning relief:  
1. Variation to reduce the lot size for two new lots from required 100,000 sq. ft. to  
approximately 16,556 sq. ft. for Lot 1 and approximately 17,788 sq. ft. for Lot 2.  
2. Variation to reduce the lot width for two new lots from required 165 feet to  
approximately 140 feet for Lot 1 and 150 feet for Lot 2. (Downers Grove/ District 3)  
(Located at the northeast corner of Madison Street and 90th Street)  
ZBA VOTE (to Deny): 6 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Absent  
Chair Tornatore explained to Members that the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended  
to deny petition. This was based on the petitioner using financial hardship as the basis for  
the petition, which is not a standard for variations. There was some discussion of similar  
sized properties in the area. Paul Hoss explained that Burr Ridge objected to the petition  
due to when they first incorporated, they allowed smaller lots, but in the last 10 years or  
so, they rewrote their zoning code which allows a minimum of one acre lots. With this  
variation, the properties would not meet their current zoning code.  
Chair Tornatore had members vote separately for each variation request.  
1. Variation to reduce lot size for two new lots. Member Gustin passed, final vote all  
nays, motion failed.  
2. Variation to reduce lot width for two new lots. All nays, motion failed.

T-3-24 Proposed Text Amendments to the County Zoning Code relative to Principal  
Arterial Two (2) Family Dwelling Conversion Use (Request to conduct public hearing  
before the Zoning Board of Appeals)  
Paul Hoss explained this proposed text amendment would allow a single family residence  
to convert into two dwelling units. This addresses the County's continuing effort of the  
Ad-Hoc Housing Solutions program to scale up more opportunities to have additional  
housing units and also clean up problematic properties. The property would have be  
zoned R-3 or R-4 single family residential and be located on a principal arterial roadway.  
Several years ago there was a Zoning proposal, the principal arterial office use, which  
allowed changing a single family residence to office space, without rezoning. This change  
was welcomed and successful. Some requirements for new petition are that one of the  
residents must be owner of property, only two units, needs to be an existing house and all  
other zoning codes would apply.
