What this means
The commission considered a request tied to a home at 3992 N. Parkside Drive that needed a smaller side-yard setback than the code normally allows. Commissioners heard that a private Nicor line in the area would be relocated and that the owners said the family has outgrown the house. The commission voted to recommend approval to the Village Board, which means the request still needed final Board action before it could take effect.
