The applicants (Ryan and Renae Grob) sought a major variance at 1345 S. Knight Avenue to add a second story to a nonconforming house. After the hearing on August 23, 2018, a motion to approve the request was made and the board voted to recommend approval to the City Council; the staff cover memorandum to the Council reports the vote as 5–0. The department's annual report lists the variance as approved by the City Council. The parcel is PIN 12-02-106-014-0000.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Aug 23 2018. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.

What was requested, recommended, approved, contracted, reported paid and completed?

Amounts are read from the cited pages and added up by code. A recommendation, an award or an authorized amount does not establish that money was paid.

No amount is published for this item.

Contracts, payments and completion

No contract, payment or completion record is published for this item. Approval alone does not establish completion.

Which parcels, agencies, businesses and projects are explicitly connected?

Official identifiers and exhibit listings connect records. A name, an address or distance alone only suggests a connection.

Properties named in the records

What remains unresolved?

No condition or deadline is published for this item. That is a limit of the published research, not evidence that none exist.

Open questions

No open question is recorded for this item.

What does the evidence suggest, and what would change it?

No conflicting records are published for this item.

Permits at this address since the first recorded event

No approval, award or execution is recorded, so permits are counted after the first dated event, Aug 23, 2018 (Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval to the City Council).

Computed by code from the building permits in the Park Ridge property release (the county permit feed), as of Nov 1, 2026. A permit shows that work was authorized, not that it was completed, and no permit recorded does not establish that nothing was built. A parcel matched by address is nominated by the address written in the record; that does not prove the record concerns it.
