The board’s agenda was highlighted by a series of public hearings focused on special use and variance applications. The board advanced requests for outside commercial storage and two residential property upgrades to the Village Board for final consideration, while opting to postpone a multi-unit residential conversion project without discussion.

Court Street Multi-Unit Conversion Postponed:
The board voted unanimously to postpone a public hearing regarding a special use application submitted by Richard Farmer for the property located at 5562 W. Court Street. According to the application packet, Farmer is seeking to perform a gut rehab and build additions to an existing two-story frame residence to create a two-dwelling unit. The application, which involved an $800 fee paid to the village in February, notes the proposed use of the property is to “live in one unit – rent second.” The board did not discuss the specifics of the application or hear from the applicant before passing a motion to postpone the item to a future meeting.
