A) Variance request and possible recommendation for Jackson Hickok who is requesting a two-part area variance for the property at 20 W. 5th Street (old address 498 N. Central) in The City of El Paso, County of Woodford, Illinois. The request is to receive a variance to allow an accessary building to have setbacks on the rear yard (south side) and the interior yard (west side) be two feet. Under City Ordinance for Residential A’2 District in Chapter 315-43 Yards and Maximum Size of Detached Accessory Structures and Attached Garages under section C and D five feet is the required setback for an interior and rear lot line. The requestor is also requesting under the same ordinance under section E (2) to have an extra 42.98 square feet for the detached accessary building. Under the ordinance you can have 65% of the primary structure foundation not including the attached garage. Under this section 65% would be 878.80 square feet and the owner is requesting 921.78 square feet.

The requested application is for the property listed below:

He plans to split off 110 feet by 126 feet on the east side of the property and a new address would be assigned. The request is to receive an area variance to allow a billboard to be located on a lot of 13,970 square feet. Under General Legislation under Ordinance Chapter 243 Signs under section B(1)(d) the lot, block, or parcel of real estate upon which said billboard is located must have an area of no less than 20,000 square feet and must be zoned for commercial or industrial use.
