CHAIR'S REPORT

Chair Conroy made the following remarks:

Good morning, I have a few items to share today.

You may recall that on June 26th, I opened a dialogue with residents and members of the

Willowbrook Corners coalition as we explored ways the County could help that community

recover from the trauma of the shooting that occurred over Juneteenth weekend. It has been a

conversation that has continued throughout the summer. Our goal was to determine what service

gaps exist in the community and to develop initiatives to assist residents who need counseling

and other types of help.

We’ve made positive strides, offering direct assistance from counselors and trainers in the

schools. Today, in Finance Committee, you had a chance to review and discuss proposals for

additional County support as we seek to partner with the YWCA and the Community House.

These organizations are already providing mental health and vital social services in this

community. This direct outreach has already been successful. I believe with County involvement

we can build on this success, creating greater impact for the residents. We will work with the

Community House and YWCA to create a refined resolution for this initiative that will appear on

an upcoming County Board agenda. I am asking for your support.

When we talk about ways to expand opportunity in DuPage County, we are guided by our

County’s strategic imperatives, including our shared commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. As

you know, this year we are updating this, and all of our strategic initiatives as part of our

Strategic Planning process. To further this goal and help inform our soon-to-be updated plan, I

attended a conference last week called “Public Leaders for Inclusion,” in Washington, D.C. This

annual meeting for government leaders provides officials with the tools to challenge racism and

hate, and to help us to build inclusive practices and social resilience within our communities.

However, as is often the case, we learn more outside the classroom than we do inside. On

Friday, as attendees of the conference, we were invited to attend a worship service at a mosque in

D.C. Shortly after the service began, we were alarmed to learn of a bomb threat made to the

mosque. We were quickly evacuated and moved further and further back from the building.

Along with everyone else at that mosque, I experienced firsthand what it felt like to have my life

threatened because of the religious beliefs of our hosts. I can tell you that this was a visceral

fear, and I was angered by the fact that this peaceful group of worshipers could be harmed and

hated so deeply, when all they did was gather to pray.

As guests of the mosque, we were asked to go back to our conference hotel for our own safety.

Mosque leaders and members remained on site. I’m still grappling with my own anger, guilt over

leaving the scene, fear, disappointment, and despair that threats like these happen too often. I

know it is my duty to bear witness to you and others…expressing how my colleagues felt that

day, being targeted simply for who they were at the place most sacred to them. Let’s just say

when you are watching the police tape going up outside of the place you stood a just few seconds

before…Diversity and Inclusion initiatives take on a whole new meaning. I am deeply grateful

to all who put on this conference, including America Indivisible and the Illinois Muslim Civic

Coalition. Clearly, our work to promote greater understanding, acceptance, and full participation

of all…continues.

As our strategic planning work moves forward, we’re asking members of the community to

participate in four strategic planning forums throughout the County… on September 6th and 7th.

Please join us in sharing these opportunities.

Finally, one week from today, veterans and their families are invited to a free Veterans Resource

Fair sponsored by the Veterans Assistance Commission and our County Recorder of Deeds,

Kathleen Carrier. That event takes place Tuesday, August 29 from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. here in the

Administration Building Auditorium. Many agencies will be on hand sharing information and

assistance. Again, the event is FREE and open to the public.

Conditional Use to allow an existing Rooster to be considered as a pet. (Lisle/ District 2)

ZHO Recommendation to Deny

Development Committee VOTE (Motion to Approve Failed): 1 Ayes, 4 Nays, 1 Absent

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 28, 2023, in the DuPage County

Administration Building, 421 North County Farm Road, Wheaton, Illinois at 2:30 P.M.

before the DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer and notice of said hearing was duly

given; and

WHEREAS, a petition was presented at this hearing requesting the following

zoning relief:

Conditional Use to allow an existing Rooster to be considered as a pet, on the property

hereinafter described:

LOT 10 IN BLOCK 1 IN ARTHUR T. MCINTOSH AND COMPANY’S FIFTH OGDEN AVENUE

SUBDIVISION, BEING A SUBDIVISION IN THE NORTHEAST ¼ AND THE SOUTH EAST ¼ OF

SECTION 2, TOWNSHIP 38 NORTH, RANGE 10, EAST OF THE THIRD PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN,

ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF RECORDED APRIL 9, 1925 AS DOCUMENT 190963, IN

DUPAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS; and

WHEREAS, the Zoning Hearing Officer, having considered in relation to the

above requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the

recommendation meeting held on June 28, 2023, does find as follows:

FINDINGS OF FACT:

A. That petitioner testified that the subject zoning relief is to allow an existing Rooster to

be considered as a pet on the subject property.

B. That petitioner testified that they currently have five (5) hens and one (1) rooster on

the subject property.

C.That petitioner testified that they consider the subject rooster a family pet.

D. That Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated or provided evidence

for a Conditional Use to allow an existing rooster to be considered as a pet on the subject

property.

a. In addition, approval of the subject zoning relief without sufficient evidence

provided by the petitioner would essentially upend and diminish the previously

approved “hens” text amendment, as the text amendment to allow up to five (5)

hens as a permitted use was approved relatively recently in 2020.

STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES:

1. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated that the

granting of the Conditional Use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of

the Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to

the public welfare, or in conflict with the County’s comprehensive plan for

development; and specifically, that the granting of the Conditional Use will not:

a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner

has not demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property

would not impact or impair the supply of light and air to adjacent properties.

b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has

not demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property

would not increase the hazard from fire or other dangers.

c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has

not demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property

would not diminish the value of land.

d. Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner

has not demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property

would not increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways.

e. Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has not

demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property would

not increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent properties.

f. Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner

has not demonstrated or provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property

would not incur additional public expense for flood protection.

g. Otherwise impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of

the inhabitants of DuPage County as petitioner has not demonstrated or

provided evidence that a rooster on the subject property would not have any

impact on adjacent properties and roadways, does not impact on drainage, and

does not impede ventilation and light to the subject property or adjacent

properties.

WHEREAS, the Zoning Hearing Officer, having considered in relation to the above

requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the recommendation meeting

held on June 28, 2023 does find as follows:

FINDINGS OF FACT:

A. That petitioner testified that the subject zoning relief is to allow an existing

camper/RV to remain parked within the 30' corner side setback (approximately 15'

from corner side property line) on the rear driveway.

B. That petitioner testified that she purchased the camper/RV in January/February 2023.

C. That petitioner testified that she parks the subject camper/RV east-west alongside the

existing shed.

D. That petitioner testified that she cannot park the subject camper/RV further to the east

(facing an east-west direction) meeting the setback due to the existing septic system.

a. Furthermore, that petitioner testified that she would not like to park the subject

camper/RV facing a north-south direction and at least 30 feet back from the

corner side property line because she would consider that an eyesore.

E. That Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated or provided sufficient

evidence to allow an existing camper/RV to remain parked within the 30' corner side

setback (approximately 15' from corner side property line) on the rear driveway.

a. In addition, that Hearing Officer finds that not parking the subject camper/RV in

the buildable area because it would be considered an eyesore to the petitioner is

not a valid reasoning for a Conditional Use and does not demonstrate the evidence

required to approve a Conditional Use.

STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES:

1. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated that the

granting of the Conditional Use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the

demonstrated or provided evidence that a camper/RV to remain parked within the

demonstrated or provided evidence that a camper/RV to remain parked within the

corner side setback would not increase the hazard from fire or other dangers.

c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has not

demonstrated or provided evidence that a camper/RV to remain parked within the

highways.

e. Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has not

demonstrated or provided evidence that a camper/RV to remain parked within the

corner side setback would not increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent

properties.

f. Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner has not

demonstrated or provided evidence that a camper/RV to remain parked within the

corner side setback would not incur additional public expense for flood protection.

g. Otherwise impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of the

and

WHEREAS, the Zoning Hearing Officer, having considered in relation to the

above requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the

recommendation meeting held on July 12, 2023 does find as follows:

FINDINGS OF FACT:

A. That petitioner testified that he seeks the subject zoning relief to reduce the corner

side setback for a detached garage from 30’ to approximately 11’ and to increase the

height of a detached garage from permitted 15’ to approximately 23.5’.

B. That petitioner testified that he currently does not have a garage on the subject

property and that the proposed detached garage would allow him to store his vehicles

and household accessory equipment.

C. That petitioner testified that due to the existing septic tank and leach field on the

subject property, the only location to place the proposed detached garage is

approximately 11 feet from the corner side property line.

a. That petitioner testified that he originally applied for a request to place the

detached garage approximately 10’ from the corner side property line but

amended his site plan due to comments from the Health Department to reduce the

width of the detached garage.

D. That petitioner testified that he requested a variation to increase the height of a

detached garage from permitted 15’ to approximately 23.5’ due to the architectural

integrity of the subject property.

a. In addition, that petitioner testified that a detached garage at 15’ would not

architecturally flow with the existing house and dormers, and that the proposed

detached garage would have the same architectural dormers as the existing house.

E. That Hearing Officer finds that petitioner demonstrated evidence for a particular

hardship and practical difficulty to reduce the corner side setback of the proposed

detached garage to 11’, as the only location to place the detached garage is

approximately 11 feet from the corner side property line due to the existing septic

tank and leach field.

F. That the Hearing Officer finds that petitioner did not demonstrate evidence for a

particular hardship or practical difficulty to increase the height of the proposed

detached garage to 23.5’, as the architectural integrity of the subject property is not a

justification for a particular hardship or practical difficulty for a Variation.

Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the

public welfare, or in conflict with the County’s comprehensive plan for development.

2. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has not demonstrated the

granting of the Variation will not:

a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner

has not demonstrated or provided evidence that a proposed 23.5’ tall, detached

garage will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent

properties.

b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has

not demonstrated or provided evidence that a proposed 23.5’ tall, detached

garage will not increase the hazard from fire or other dangers.

garage setback will not unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and

highways.

e. Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has not

demonstrated or provided evidence that a proposed 23.5’ tall, detached garage

will not increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent properties.

has not demonstrated or provided evidence that a proposed 23.5’ tall, detached

garage will not incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue, or

relief.

g. Otherwise impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of

the inhabitants of DuPage County as petitioner has not demonstrated or

provided evidence that a proposed 23.5’ tall, detached garage will not impair the

public health, safety, comfort, morals, or general welfare of the inhabitants of
