Three-bay garage variance at 208 N. Dee Road

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

At a public hearing on May 27, 2021, the Zoning Board of Appeals considered a request by Leonard DiCristofano for a major variance to allow a front-loaded attached garage with three automobile bays at 208 N. Dee Road, where the zoning rules allow two. The board voted by roll call to recommend that the City Council approve the variance. This account rests on the draft minutes posted for approval; the City Council's final decision is not part of this record.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), May 27 2021. 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.

No explicit connection is published for this item.

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, May 27, 2021 (Zoning Board of Appeals holds the public hearing).

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.
