The main issue was whether a gravel alley behind 6900 Leclaire Avenue should be treated as an “improved alley,” which affects whether curb cuts and parking access are allowed. The board heard arguments from the appellant and village staff about how the zoning rule should be interpreted. After debate, the board rejected the village’s administrative decision and voted to reverse it, and staff said a formal order will come back for final approval at the next meeting.
