Garage lot coverage variance at 1112 Prairie Avenue

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The owner sought a variance (VA-24-14) at 1112 Prairie Avenue to raise the maximum lot coverage so a one-car detached garage could be replaced with a larger two-car garage. The Zoning Board of Appeals continued the case at the petitioner's request on July 25, 2024, and again after a hearing on August 22, 2024. The agenda for September 26, 2024 listed the case as a minor variance as amended (VA-24-14), and that night the board approved the minor variance (VA-24-14); the roll call lists no nays.

Documented status: Approved (recorded), Sep 26 2024. 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.

After the decision: permits at this address

Permits dated after Sep 26, 2024 (Zoning Board of Appeals approves the amended minor variance).

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.
