BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to concur with the recommendation from the Zoning
Board of Appeals on a request from Ehab and Nour Elqaq, the owners of the property at 424

rear yard and for structure height to accommodate two architectural features in order to

3. Adoption of an ordinance necessary to grant the requested special use, which ordinance
the Village Attorney shall by this motion be directed to prepare for consideration at the

Background/History:

required public hearing and completed its deliberations on a petition from Ehab and Nour Elqaq, the
new owners of the property at 424 Canterberry Lane seeking approval of variations to Sections 13-6B-
3D (structure height) and 13-6B-3F (required yards) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the
construction of a new single-family home. The existing home and detached garage located on the
property will be demolished.
The subject property encompasses 18,876 square feet or approximately .43 acres which is far less than
the one acre minimum (43,560 square feet) lot size required in the R-2 District. When compared to all
of the other parcels which abut York Road, south of 31St Street, the subject property is the smallest in
size.

Acting Chairman Alfred Savino announced the public hearing and reviewed the
request. He noted that all witnesses were sworn in at the last meeting.
Joe Burnell, architect reviewed the history of the request. The original residence
was approximately 6500 square feet. Although it is a .65 acre site in general,
discounting the easements it is less than .5 acre. The property is surrounded by
many lots that are 1 acre and more in size. He reviewed the original variances
requested. They tried to address the issues raised by the Zoning Board at the
last meeting. They moved the house further to the east, where they were trying
to provide distance from the neighbor to the east by keeping the house an extra

four feet away. They did move the house as suggested by one of the members
to take advantage of the four-feet available and will still maintain the required
side yard setback of 18 feet.
He noted that Member Cappetta was concerned with the amount of driveway
along York Road, so they removed it and now have a visitor's drive in the front
and a drive v to access the garage off York Road. He added th
g g e Member Bulin
was concerned about removal of the trees facin g York and they are trying to
maintain as many trees as possible.
They were originally seeking the following relief:
• a reduction of the front yard setback from 40 feet to 18 feet,
• a reduction of the corner size yard setback from 40 feet to 25 feet.
• They were seeking a reduction in the rear yard from 60 feet to a 5 foot
setback for the porte cochere, an open area attached to the house and 25
foot setback for the attached garage.
• They were also seeking a variance for an additional 2-2.5 feet for two
architectural features from the maximum 40 feet allowed to the structure
height for properties that are up to an acre.
The plan has been revised and the house has been
They p reduced by about 1000
square feet and the relief they were now seeking was:
• a reduction of the front yard setback (Canterberry) from 40 feet to 28.5
feet, by pushing the house back to maintain the setback for the existing
house, which seemed to be acceptable by the board along Canterberry
• a reduction of the corner size yard setback (York) from 40 feet and will
maintain the 40 foot setback and will no longer request that variation.
• They were seeking a reduction in the rear yard from 60 feet to an 18 foot
setback for the porte cochere, which has been reduced in size (it is an
open area attached to the house) a 31 foot setback for the attached
garage. They used the side yard setback of 18 feet as suggested by the
board.
• They did not change the request for the height variance for an additional
2-2.5 feet for two architectural features from the maximum 40 feet
allowed to the structure height for properties that are up to an acre.
They felt like that had come a long way to meet the board's request. They have
eliminated one variance and reduced the other two. They have reduced the
overall size of the house, which is opposite the current housing trend. A lot of
the houses in the surrounding area are much larger.

Acting Chairman Savino noted that they had addressed a lot of the issues and
reduced the size of the house from 6500 to 5500 square feet. He complimented
him on trying to address the boards concerns and believe the house has a
lovely design. His only issue was the height and asked what unique difficulty
they had with the height.
Mr. Burnell responded that this property was the only substandard lot in the
immediate area and all of the surrounding houses are all allowed to build to a
height of 45 feet making this the only lot that would not be able to, which is the
unique condition of this particular lot. The y believed that the character of the
house is better with the current height and slopes of the roof; and makes it a
nicer quality showpiece for York Road.
Member Ziemer noted that based on all of the other homes in the area the
height as requested actually keeps in the character and context with the rest of
the neighborhood.
Member Bulin noted that the bulk of the ridgeline for the house was under 40
feet.
Mr. Burnell agreed and added that the bulk of the roof area in general, including
the detail on top would be under 40 feet.
Director of Community Development Kallien said that the applicant had gone
to great lengths to make the revised home fit a very small substandard lot that in
today's world the Village would not create. If the house had two chimneys and
were located where the pinnacles would be, it would be allowed by right. In
essence they are nothing more than architectural ornamental features. The
ridgeline of the house is under the maximum permitted in the R-2 district. It is
not substantial and does not establish a precedent, since it is a substandard lot.
Member Cappetta noted that they did a great job in addressing the Board's
issues, but she still had an issue that the rear yard reduction was almost 30 feet.
She understood that it was a substandard lot, but that it requires a much smaller
house. She said that a 5500 square foot house is too large for the lot. She had
difficulty with it.
Mr. Burnell noted that years from now when they try to sell the property the
price would not be there anymore. He tried to show that they were much closer
to the neighbor to the east and they are allowed to 18 feet. In the rear yard
there would be 60-80 feet to the neighbor next door when they build.

Member Ziemer said that there are two front yards facing Canterberry and York
Road and given that the rear yard is not abutting the neighbors due to the
driveway and it is a unique circumstance, and noted he would be okay with it.
Member Bulin noted that there would still be 60 feet between the neighbors
given the driveway and their setbacks. It is an unusual circumstance.
Mr. Burnell noted that they showed the plans to the neighbors and had gotten
their support generally.
No one in the audience spoke in support of or in opposition to the request.
The members agreed to one motion that included all the variations requested,
because if one failed,they would not be able to build the house as proposed.
The Standards were addressed on page C-C.2 of the case file.
Motion by Member Ziemer, seconded by Member Bulin that the applicant had
satisfied the requirements for a special use for an outdoor dining area and to
recommend approval of the request subject to meeting the following
conditions:
1. Front Yard (along Canterberry Lane)—reduce the required 40-foot front
yard to approximately 28.5 feet.
2. Rear Yard — reduce the required 60-foot rear yard to approximately 18
feet to accommodate a proposed Porte cochere and to approximately 31
feet for the remainder of the single-family home.
3. Structure Height — increase the maximum building height from 40 feet
to approximately 43' 6" and 42'6" to accommodate two architectural
features. With the exception of the two architectural features the main
roof line of the house will comply with the code requirements.
4. The proposed development shall be constructed in substantial
conformance to the approved plans as submitted.
5. Add the condition "Notwithstanding the attached exhibits, the applicant
shall meet all Village Ordinance requirements at the time of building
permit application except as specifically varied or waived."

We have increased our requested rear yard setback to 18'and 31'respectively. This
was due to the suggestion by the council that we consider using the side yard setback

The property is located along the northeast corner of York Road and
Canterberry Lane and was deeded as a larger lot, 176 x 165 feet, which would
have yielded an approximate 2/3 acre. However, the property line on the west
is along the center line of Yolk Road and along the center line of Canterberry
Lane, which necessitates a 33 foot easement along both roads and reduces the
usable lot to 143 x 132 feet and results in a .43 acre lot size. The property is
zoned R-2 and has significant setbacks since the properties in that district are
typically 1 acre minimum. The fi'ont yard setback is 40 feet, the side yard
abutting the street is 40 feet,the interior side yard is 18 feet and the rear yard is
60 feet. When the setbacks are applied to the lot,the buildable area of the lot is
74 feet by 43 feet or approximately 3200 square feet, which is a significant
reduction in the actual buildable area, for what they believed was a 2/3 acre lot.
The existing house on the lot does not meet the current zoning requirements,
which is setback about 28.5 feet from Canterberry Road. The existing detached
garage actually encroaches approximately 2 feet over the north property line.
An exhibit was provided showing the lot sizes of the properties in the area,
which is surrounded by much larger properties that are 1 - 1.5 acre, which is
keeping with the R-2 zoning. The current development trend surrounding the
property has 4 houses under construction that are estimated to be 8-12,000
square feet, which are large structures. They are trying to build in-kind and to a
scale with the property as well. The proposed structure is approximately 6500
square feet above grade. It is diminished somewhat from the trend, but is in-
keeping with the property size and they have tried not to over build.

They are seeking a reduction of the front yard setback from 40 feet to 18 feet, a
reduction of the confer size yard setback from 40 feet to 25 feet. They are
seeking a reduction in the rear yard from 60 feet to a 5 foot setback for the porte
cochere, an open area attached to the house and 25 foot setback for the attached
garage. They are also seeking a variance for an additional 2-2.5 feet for two
architectural features from the maximum 40 feet allowed to the structure height
for properties that are up to an acre.
They have
attempted to stay a s
far away from then i
ghbors as possible. The
neighbor's property to the east is the most impacted so they have maintained the
required 18-foot setback so that it does not get overwhelmed by the structure.
He
reviewed the different elevations of the ro os
ed structure
and noted that
p p
the applicant was not developing it as a return on investment, but as the family
dream house. If developed smaller, it would be difficult to sell otherwise in the
future. They are not impairing sight lines or air movement.
Mr. Burnell reviewed the standards,which were also submitted in writing.
1. a. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be
used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district
in which it is located.
RESPONSE: Given the nature of the trend of the property as well as around
the property, to develop a diminutive house would devalue the property. They
have hied not to overdevelop the property and provide a more demure house so
they are keeping in kind with the neighbors and surrounding community.
1. b. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.
RESPONSE: The buildable area of the lot is tiny. The surrounding
neighboring properties are an acre or in excess of an acre and those properties
are able to absorb the required setbacks.
1. c. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
RESPONSE: It will not diminish the character of the community. They
believe it is a beautiful French Provincial style house made with high quality
materials with cast and natural stone products that will add to the character and
is in-keeping with the other houses developed over the last few years.

2. a. The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of
the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner
as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation
were to be carried out.
i
RESPONSE: The setbacks make it very difficult if not impossible to develop
anything within the buildable area.
i
2. b. The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be
applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning classification.
RESPONSE: All of the surrounding properties are an acre or in excess of an
acre. This lot is less than a half-acre.
2. c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which
the property is located.
i
RESPONSE: It will not be detrimental or injurious to the other properties in
the neighborhood. They have tried to maintain the distance from the other
neighboring properties and structures to maintain privacy, light and air flow.
2. d. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
RESPONSE: They will not impact any air or light to surrounding properties.
2. e. That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to
make more money out of the property.
RESPONSE: The requested variances are not based on a desire to make more
money out of the property. They plan to live in the house for many years. The
only increase would be based on property value. They are excited about living
in Oak Brook and having the children go to school in Oak Brook.
2. f. That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person
presently having an interest in the property.
RESPONSE: The lot location and size created this hardship.

Summarizing the request for the height variances, he said that it was in-keeping
with the style of the house and provides a finial that adds an architectural
feature to the house. Part of the roof line is above the 40 feet.
Director of Community Development Kallien noted that spires/architectural
point's/features on a house are not normally counted as part of the height.
However, a portion of the cone exceeds the 40 foot height.
Member Savino provided a sample of how the scope of the angles could be
changed in order to meet the requirement.
Mr. Burnell responded that part of the French Provincial style is the varying
roof lines and if the angles are brought down (spread out lower) it becomes
similar to the other roof angles and becomes less distinguishable.
Member Savino understood the need for the variations to the length and width
of the structure, but did not see it in regards to the height. The length and width
were due to possible takings of land by the Village and County, but not the
height of the structure. He also found the 5-foot setback for the poste cochere
to be extreme.
Mr. Burnell said that it was being sought for several reasons. There is a 20-foot
easement on the property to the north, plus the existing 18-foot setback. The
porte cochere helps to bring the scale of the house down so that the house does
not appear to be blocky or stout.
Mr. Savino agreed and thought it was a wonderful design. He did have a
problem with a couple of the variations, the height and the 5-foot setback. He
could not recall having such a narrow setback anywhere else.
Director of Community Development referenced a house on Wood Road that
requested setbacks for additions, which was an extreme case. Driving south
down York Road at Luthin and Wennes there are three houses that are located
approximately 15-20 feet from the street. As the older houses are replaced the
question would be if there would be enough room to set them back or would
they need to establish a new front yard. I
i
Member Savino noted that there was no way to know what would happen in the
future.
i
I
Member Bulin said that it would be good to know what the average setback was
along York Road to Spring.

Director of Community Development Kallien said that he could provide that
information. Over the years there were always issues along York Road,
especially in the Fullersburg area south of 31st. The properties are zoned R-2
and should be R-3. Ten years ago there was a meeting with about 50 of the
homeowners in the area and it was explained that very few met the R-2
minimum requirements and R-3 would allow for some greater usability without
the need for a variance, but at that point they did not feel comfortable with the
initiation of a zoning case. This lot and almost all of the lots in Robin Hood
Ranch and along York near Luthin are undersized. The properties are remnants
of the past with the way houses were built, 50, 60 70 years ago and they really
do not conform. So you have a situation where someone wants to do something
with their property and they want to do something that is similar to what is
happening. The aerial photo shows some of the magnificent structures being
built and it seems like that is the trend.
The house directly to the south,received variations, and the house is very boxy,
it is larger than the house proposed, but the lot is also larger, but it is set back
farther from York.
Member Bulin said that in Robin Hood Ranch they did not want the houses to
be over built. He suggested that in previous requests they have given lots, two
front and two side setbacks that would allow for greater usage of the lot.
Director of Community Development Kallien said that some lots, depending
upon its shape such as a triangle, a curve is created.
Member Bulin noted that sometimes the lot dictates would the house should be j
rather than the house dictating the lot.
Mr. Burnell said that they tried to honor that and that the style of the house
would be significantly changed by that.
Member Cappetta noted that even if the lot was zoned R-3, or R-4, two of the
requirements would not be met and would still need variations. She noted that
it was a beautiful house,but it's a one acre house on a half acre parcel.
Mr. Burnell noted that they did look at options; they tried to minimize the
request as much as possible.
I
Director of Community Development Kallien noted that the original plan
requested much more relief than presented and they modified it to something
I

lJ G�
that was more reasonable.
Member Bulin said that on a previous case, it was given 40-40-18-18, which
significantly added to the buildable area. Many of the properties were deeded
to the center line of the roads throughout old Oak Brook along Spring Road and
it is something you have to live with when the property gets resurveyed. With
new construction you need to deal with the current right-of-way, which is a fact
of life. He said that the curb appeal may be different, but would be able to get
the square footage desired. He did not see a problem with the height request,
due to the desired pitches. His issue was the ground coverage and variance to
three setbacks.
Mr. Burnell said that they are trying to develop in kind, with other properties in
the area.
i
Director of Community Development Kallien noted that R-2 allows for a 45
foot structure height, but there is a caveat for properties which are less than an
acre are 40 feet.
I
Member Ziemer noted that he was sympathetic to the nonconforming lot for the
existing zoning, but if you would apply what would be appropriate for an R-4
lot, which would reduce the front yard to 30 feet, it would still not be
conforming. The same thing would apply to the side and rear yard. The area
that is the buildable area is not utilized and everything proposed is outside the
buildable area. He did not think they were trying to conform. Given it is a
nonconforming lot; he would be more sympathetic if they tried to hold the
existing nonconforming front yard on Canterberry, which is 28 feet. If they
tried to keep that it would be the essence of what already exists for the
character. He did not have an issue with the height. The main issue was the
encroachment along York Road. All the new homes along York Road do not
appear to violate that. The request is beyond the limits for the undersized lot.
Mr. Burnell responded that he understood, but that the style of the house is
what is in the region and what they were going for. If they put up a big blocky
house, it would be a mirror image of across the street.
s
Director of Community Development Kallien offered to review the existing
setbacks of the houses along York Road for the Zoning Board. Based on what
seems to be reluctance by the board, he suggested that the applicant look at
making some adjustments.
He noted that due to the right of way the house is setback farther than 25 feet

Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 7 of 10 December 3,2013
a '�
from York. He suggested that the bay window that protrudes to the west may
be able to be setback farther from York Road. Although they are being
sensitive to the neighbor, to the east, they have a legal right to move the house
four feet going east and would be within the allowed 18-foot setback.
Member Cappetta asked if there was anything controlling impervious surface in
the zoning ordinance.
I
Director of Community Development Kallien responded that we did not. He
noted that in Westchester Park, the house that is known as the `castle' actually
uses the maximum use of the lot. They used every inch of the area (R-3) and
the only thing remaining is the setbacks. There are some subdivisions that j
actually impose a maximum.
Rosemary Okmark, 416 Canterberry Lane, located just east of the property said
that they have been in the village for 50 years and are surrounded by the large
homes that are being built. The proposed home is lovely and the homes
throughout the village have become very large. They have seen all the
construction north of their property,which is unbelievable including the heights
of the homes,which are 45 feet; they had no idea the village was allowing that.
She will not be in the area very long and the proposed home is very pretty and
they are wonderful people. She feels the village would do the right thing. It is
a large home, but if the Village would approve it, they would be okay with it.
They have seen all the changes throughout the village, she does not like it, but
that is progress. j
I
Member Young asked if she had seen the plan presented to the Zoning Board.
She did see it and it looked very beautiful to them. They are very nice people
and she would like to have them for neighbors.
Member Young asked if they received a response from any of the other
neighbors.
Mr. Eqaq said that they did share it with Rose Okmark and some of the
neighbors, which is why they pushed the house further west and they were
trying to keep and preserve some of the large trees along the east of the
property. They could push the house closer to the east, but out of respect to the
neighbors they moved it toward York. He also showed it to BJ Bohne across
the street (3305 York Road) and he helped to explain some of the public
hearing process.

He said that they were attempting to come up with something that was similar
to what was going on in the neighborhood and when they bought the land they
saw all of the beautiful houses and wanted to bring character and some history
and so they did not go with a modern style home. They worked with the
neighbors and tried to accommodate the restrictions.
Member Savino asked why this particular lot was chosen rather than looking
for a bigger lot.
Mr. Eqaq said that they wanted a nice house but not too big. They thought that
the lot size was the right size; they also liked the area along York Road and it
was also quiet. The minute they looked at this lot they liked it.
Mr. Burnell noted that corner lots have a little more cache than an interior lot,
which is nice to have a little more openness. Right across York Road it is
wooded, which affected their decision as well. They also looked at lots in Burr
Ridge as well as other communities and chose Oak Brook because they thought
it was a fantastic place.
Member Savino questioned the two different dimensions shown for the lot.
Mr. Burnell said that it was marketed as a lot of 176 x 165 (feet), but there was
not an understanding of the easements that were required until the property
closed and they received the actual survey,unfortunately.
Chairman Davis suggested that the matter be continued on the representation
that Mr. KalIien would provide data and the applicant would have further
discussions with the Village.
Director of Community Development Kallien noted that previous adjustments
had been made to the house once before and based on the discussion at the {
hearing, additional modifications could be made.
Motion by Member Savino, seconded by Member Young to continue the j
hearing on the variations requested to the next regular meeting. VOICE VOTE:
Motion carried.

constructed.
• The existing home and detached garage currently do not meet the underlying setbacks for
the R-2 District.
• The Village has granted numerous variations over the years to properties located along
York Road, especially in the Robin Hood Ranch subdivision(see case file).

have been constructed in this area.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF HEARING BODIES:
The Zoning Board of Appeals has the responsibility to make a recommendation on a request
for a variation. Please include in your consideration your findings with respect to the
standards specified in the Zoning Ordinance for a variation. The materials submitted by the
applicant specifically address these standards (see the case file). Those standards are:
"Section 13-14-6 D. Standards:
1. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not recommend a variation of the provisions of this
Title as authorized in this Section unless it shall have made findings of fact based upon the
evidence presented to it on the following specific issues that:

under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is
located.
b. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.
c. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. For the purpose of supplementing the above standards,the Zoning Board of Appeals, in

2
• •
STAFF REPORT-ELQAQ
424 CANTERBERRY LANE-VARIATIONS-YARDS AND STRUCTURE HEIGHT
CASE No: 2013-17-ZO-VAR
shall also take into consideration the extent to which the following facts, favorable to the
applicant,have been established by the evidence that:
a. The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific
property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished
from a more inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation were to be carried out.
b. The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be applicable
generally to the other property within the same zoning classification.
c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located.
d. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise endanger the public
safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
e. That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to make more
money out of the property.
f. That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently
having an interest in the property."
CONCLUSION:
If the Zoning Board of Appeals is of the opinion that the applicant has satisfied the requirements
for the requested variations to the Zoning Ordinance for the property located at 424 Canterberry
Lane, a recommendation would be in order to approve the requested variations in order to
construct a new home subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposed development shall be constructed in substantial conformance to the
approved plans as submitted.
2. Add the condition "Notwithstanding the attached exhibits, the applicant shall meet
all Village Ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application except
as specifically varied or waived."
However, if you determine that the petitioner has not satisfied the required standards for a
variation,the request should be denied.
Findings of fact, which are the basis of the Zoning Board of Appeals determination, should be
stated as part of either motion. The recommendation may state any conditions reasonably related
to the petition, which the Zoning Board deems necessary to protect the public interest.
Respectfully Submitted,

Background/History:
The owner of the property located at 424 Canterberry is requesting approval of several variations
to allow the construction of a new single family home on the property. Due to the undersized lot

Letter of explanation for requested variances
Existing conditions:
The property is 176 ft x 165 ft and it is a corner lot with the following immediate
surroundings:
• East side: A single family house.
• West side: York road with properties owned by the Christ Church of Oak Brook.
• North side: A drive way for new house being developed. The drive way is approx
300 ft long.
• South side: Canterberry Lane with a property after that for a single family house
that was developed 7 years ago.
Hardship and unique situation
The property has very unique situations in terms of the size and location. It is a corner
lot with two frontages, also 33'-0"was taken for roadway right of way for York Road and
Canterberry Lane. This created many obstacles in developing a property of similar
nature to the surrounding new developments.
The total original size of the lot was 176 x 165 but after receiving the survey it was
determined that in reality the lot is only 143 x 132 which reduce the size of lot
significantly. In addition to this reduction in size, the zoning of R2 which was developed
for bigger lots, reduces the buildable area to very small area. This zoning if used on lots
of 1 acres or more, it will be fine. But when using these setbacks on this small lot, it will
very hard to develop a house with similar nature to the surrounding area houses.
The zoning R2, corner lot and lost 33'-0" in the roadway right of way all play very crucial
factors in making this lot a very hard to develop in similar nature to the surrounding
houses. The buildable area if using the setbacks will not exceed 3000 SF, which will
make this house very small to the surrounding 8000 to 15000 SF houses.
Design Process:
Based on the initial investigation and communication with local officials in the Oak Brook
Village we obtained all regulations. It was determined that several zoning set backs
were enforced for properties in this R2 zoning. The uniqueness of this lot forced us to
develop several concept plans and presented them to Oak Brook planning for review
and comments.At the end of this process we can to the following conclusion and
recommendation:
The garage is pulled around to the rear of the house and access to the garage is along
the north side of the site. We are providing a 24' setback (25'to the vertical plane of the
house) which should allow for a 23' drive and a fence and possible hedge raw to screen
I
• •
the driveway to the immediate north. We pushed the house a bit to the north and east
to help reduce the requested setback relief along both York and Canterberry.
We have not pushed up against the east side yard set back of 18', but rather have
maintained a 25' offset from the east property line. We feel this is important as the
neighbor to the east has a smaller house, and appears to be located within 12'-13' of
the property line (within the 18' setback requirement due to earlier zoning regulations we
understand). We do not want to crowd the neighboring house who, in reality, will be
most impacted by the building of a larger house on our project site.
We have added a Porte Cochere to the north end of the house. This was done to help
maintain the horizontal proportions of the west elevation. By only relocating the garage,
the house would take on more 'boxie' proportions and starts to look tall. By stretching it
with a porte cochere, we hope to keep the more horizontal proportions. We believe
both the porte cochere and the larger setback from the east neighbor will help
to mitigate the feeling of overbuilding that we talked about Monday.
By pulling the garage around the back, we have significantly reduced the rear yard
setback variance we are seeking. While we are still seeking relief on the three sides
discussed Monday, we feel we are doing what we can to respect the zoning
requirements while constructing a residence of like size and scale of current new homes
being constructed in the immediate area.
Currently we are asking for 15' of relief along York road from the 40' corner-side yard
setback requirement, 22' of relief from a•40'front yard set back requirement along
Canterberry Lane and 35' relief from the 60' rear yard setback along the north interior lot
line.
We did look at other options such and rotating and mirroring the building, but those,
while helping with the front yard setback, did not help with the rear yard set back and
made the side yard setback along York much worse. We also looked at a detached
garage. This had no real affect on the setbacks.
Conclusion:
We believe in establishing a great relationship with our neighbors and community. For
that main reason we worked so hard with the Village officials to revise the plans to
minimize any setbacks variation requested. We also worked with our great new
neighbors and accommodated all comments. They all feel the house will be a great
addition to the neighborhood.
We are really happy and excited to be moving to Oak Brook. We feel this is a great area
to raise our young kids. Our eleven and eight year old kids will be enjoying the great
schools of Oak Brook, and will enjoy playing with the kids in the neighborhood. We are
coming to Oak Brook with big hopes and dreams and we are asking for your favorable
decision to our new home design.

VARIATION STANDARDS
1. a. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be
used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district
in which it is located.
RESPONSE:
The property has very unique situations in terms of the size and location. It is a corner
lot with two frontages, also 33'-0" was taken for roadway right of way for York Road
and Canterberry Lane. This created many obstacles in developing a property of similar
nature to the surrounding new developments. In the last few years, properties of
unique architectural features in this area developed an image and the goal of this new
house is to match these unique architectural features. Neighbors who reviewed the
initial concept design of the house showed a great support for this new development
as it will blend smoothly with the rest of new development in the area.
1. b. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.
RESPONSE:
The total original size of the lot was 176 x 165 but after receiving the survey it was
determined that in reality the lot is only 143 x 132 which reduce the size of lot
significantly. In addition to this reduction in size, the zoning of R2 which was
developed for bigger lots, reduces the buildable area to very small area. This zoning if
used on lots of 1 acres or more, it will be fine. But when using these setbacks on this
small lot, it will very hard to develop a house with similar nature to the surrounding
area houses.
1. c. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
RESPONSE:
In fact the variation will help develop a nice house that fit the area and provide great
architectural features similar to the surrounding houses. Also, we actually tried to
architectural mirror the house south of our property and create grand entrance to the
Canterberry Lane east properties.
C .
2. a. The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of
the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner
as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation
were to be carried out.
RESPONSE:
The zoning R2, corner lot and lost 33'-0" in the roadway right of way all play very
crucial factors in making this lot a very hard to develop in similar nature to the
surrounding houses. The buildable area if using the setbacks will not exceed 3000 SF,
which will make this house very small to the surrounding 10000 to 15000 SF houses.
2. b. The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be
applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning classification.
RESPONSE:
This lot is unique in many ways that this condition may not occur again. Being 9 a
corner lot with smaller area makes this lot a hard property to develop in the same
nature of other properties.
2. c. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the
property is located.
RESPONSE:
We contacted the surrounding neighbors and they are in support for this nice.
development. The variation requested will not in any way harm or affect any neighbor.
In fact we moved the house to the west more based on recommendation of our east
neighbor. They currently have dog fence and between the two properties we have
nice trees that we would like to maintain.
2. d. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
RESPONSE:
The house is located in a way to maintain many of the natural elements between this
property and the east one. This unique lot has only one neighbor with a house which
is to the east. From the South it will be canterberry and from the North a new drive
way (over 300 ft long) is being developed to serve a new house being built in that lot.
The new house will not harm nor affect any of surrounding houses. In fact we
contacted the two adjacent neighbors and both provided great support for the new
house development.
2. e. That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to
make more money out of the property.
RESPONSE:
Our goal is to develop a unique house for our family in similar nature to the historical
area of Canterberry Lane and York Road. We have two kids ages 11 and 8 and our
goal is to develop this nice house for them to enjoy and us to grow together in this
great community.
2. f. That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person
presently having an interest in the property.
RESPONSE:
The lot location and size created this hardship. We believe that the requested
variations will not harm the area but rather develop a unique house that will enhance
and add values to the surrounding houses. We shared this new plan with our
neighbors and we have received a lot of encouraging support which made us feel even
better to be moving to great neighborhood.
In conclusion, we need to stress the main point that we are moving to Oak Brook to
raise our family in a great community supported by excellent schools, outstanding
community and wonderful neighbors.

Subject: Elqaq residence
I had a chance to review your drawings, I did have a couple of questions and suggestions. I
didn't see any detail regarding the material the home was going to be constructed from. Is it
stone, brick, stucco or a combination? The overall layout of the home looks good, it appears
that Rose and Lars property would be the most affected by the footprint of the house, so in
that respect if they are ok with the size, then I would be supportive. My one concern is the
height, steeples on the home appear to go well over the 40' height restrictions, I would
suggest lowering the overall height in an effort to get these plans approved. I lowered my
design to 36' in an effort to satisfy the village board in consideration of them allowing me
my variances. I think the home would look better if you kept under the 40' height level as
well as making the process of getting approval much easier. Hope this helps, thanks.
