What this means
A homeowner at 906 North Path received a favorable recommendation for a small home addition and an existing patio that do not meet the usual rear-yard setback distance. The board said the design was attractive and voted unanimously to send the variance request forward for approval. For 900 E. Geneva Road, the board did not make a final decision on the proposed renovation and additions at the Islamic Center of Wheaton. Members asked for more details on parking, traffic, landscaping, a master plan, and whether a school is planned before they will continue the hearing.
