DISCUSSION
REQUEST FOR RELIEF Mrs. Cyndy Chanenson of 455 Castlewood
FROM DRIVEWAY WIDTH Lane, appeared before the Board to
RESTRICTIONS FOR 455 request relief from the 18' width
CASTLEWOOD LANE restriction mandated by the Municipal
Code for that portion of a driveway which
is on Village parkway. She would like to make the entire driveway
21' wide, the same width as her garage.
Mrs. Houpt explained that since the 18' restriction is part of the
Municipal Code, only the Board of Trustees can vary it.
Trustee Swanson explained that the Village limits the width of
driveways located on Village parkway because utilities are located
there, and driveways make any needed repairs more difficult.
Mayor Forrest explained that in order to grant Mrs. Chansenson's
request, the Board would have to change the Municipal Code. Board
members agreed that they did not wish to change the ordinance.
