PUBLIC HEARING 15 Chair Murphy opened the public hearing and swore in the applicants. 16 III.A Continued Public Hearing to Consider Variation s at 167 Abingdon Ave Avenue Pertaining to 17 Maximum Building Size and Maximum Building Coverage Requirements 18 Village Planner Andrew Dunham opened the first item with a presentation. Mr. Dunham explained 19 that the request before the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) was for building coverage and floor area 20 to construct additions to the home and detached garage. Mr. Dunham further explained that the 21 request, which was previously considered by the ZBA at the June 8, 2026 meeting, had been 22 reduced in reflection of the prior discussion. 23 24 Project architect, Keith Labutta, stated that they wanted the proposal to be as restrained as 25 possible. Other project architect, Kiley Peart, added that each addition had been reduced by a 26 third. 27 28 Member Tzur asked if the neighbors to the property supported the project. Charles Waddell, 29 homeowner, expressed uncertainty about who wrote in to the ZBA, but that knew at least one 30 direct neighbor was in support. 31 32 Chair Murphy noted that the updated plans demonstrated a true effort to minimize the request 33 and appreciated the clarity in what had changed. Member Hinkamp shared that he could not see a 34 hardship for the home addition as the existing home has a lot of space. Member Tzur responded 35 that the proposal prevents the owners from having to tear into existing rooms, which would make 36 the rooms off-center. Member Peterson shared that she also did not see a hardship for the 37 sunroom (home addition). 38 39 Chair Murphy explained that he found the request to be reasonable and was inclined to meet them 40 where they are at so they could improve the utility of their home. Member Tzur agreed. Member 41 Hinkamp disagreed. 42 43 Mr. Waddell emphasized that the driving force of the improvements was to modernize the home. 44 Member Quigley shared his appreciation for the changes and his support for home updates that do 45 not impact the streetscape. 46 47 3 Village of Kenilworth Zoning Board of Appeals 3 July 13, 2026 3 Member Hinkamp made a motion to approve the request submitted by the petitioner, Keith 1 Labutta and Kiley Peart of Northworks Architects, on behalf of owners Charlie and Casey 2 Waddell, to permit construction of a rear addition to the principal structure of a single-family 3 residence and addition to the detached garage that exceeds maximum floor area requirements 4 by 1,062 sq. ft. and maximum building coverage by 184 sq. ft. at 167 Abingdon Avenue in 5 accordance with the materials included in this packet.

Ms. Peart reiterated that there was 36 no way to improve the home’s functionality without impacting its historic features. 37 38 Chair Murphy asked for guidance on how the owner would like to proceed. The owner requested that 39 the matter be continued to the ZBA’s next regular meeting on August 10, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. 40 41 Following a request by the applicant, Member Hinkamp made a motion to continue the request 42 to the regularly scheduled ZBA meeting on August 10, 2026.

Michael Blue, FAICP, Teska Associates, Inc. Subject: Continued Public Hearing to Consider a Variation at 167 Abingdon Avenue Pertaining to Maximum Building Size and Maximum Building Coverage Requirements Petitioner: Keith Labutta and Kiley Peart of Northworks Architects, on behalf of owner Charlie and Casey Waddell Location: 167 Abingdon Avenue Zoning: R-2 Single-Family Residential Purpose: Request variations to permit construction of a new addition and garage to encroach into the required rear yard. Applicable Regulations: §153.068 Minimum Size; Maximum Lot Coverage (A), (B) Introduction: The petitioner, Northworks Architects, is requesting variations to maximum building size and maximum building coverage requirements on behalf of the homeowner to permit construction of a one-story addition to the principal structure and an expansion to the one-story two-car garage in the rear yard of the property. This property is situated on the north side of Abingdon Avenue between Sheridan Road and Warwick Lane. A portion of the existing rear yard patio would be removed as part of the scope of work; the proposed addition to the principal structure would be constructed on a portion of that existing patio’s area. The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) initially heard this matter at the June 8, 2026, meeting where the petitioners requested the case be continued to the July 13, 2026, meeting to present a revised design. At the July 13th meeting, the petitioners requested the case be continued to the August 10, 2026, meeting. Re-Cap of Previous ZBA Meeting: At the July 13, 2026, Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) Meeting, the petitioner presented a revised request for two (2) variations: floor area and building coverage. The ZBA noted that the request was to modernize use of a historic home, but some members expressed concerns about the existing size of the non-conforming structures on the site, whether the existing conditions Considered By: Date: Zoning Board of Appeals Zoning Board of Appeals Zoning Board of Appeals 08/10/26 07/13/26 06/08/26 Village of 6 constitute a zoning hardship, and that the request would be increasing the existing nonconformity. The applicant explained that the current garage is not compatible with the geometry of modern family-style automobiles and that some expansion is needed to effectively accommodate two vehicles. Further, the applicant noted that the current garage needs repairs and that the revised proposal reduces the square footage of the proposed garage. The ZBA was open to the idea that this portion of the request reflects a hardship and helps to modernize the existing home. Discussion: A two-story brick home and detached one-story garage are currently located on the 12,000 sq. ft. property. The current building size (floor area) of these structures is 4,938 sq. ft., higher than the maximum allowed floor area per the Zoning Code (4,080 sq. ft.) creating an existing nonconformity. Existing building coverage is 1,961 sq. ft., lower than the maximum allowed building coverage (1,720 sq. ft.), and therefore compliant with the Zoning Code. • Two one-story additions are proposed as part of this request. o The first is an addition to the principal structure that consists of a 102 sq. ft. sunroom attached to the existing family room at the rear of the house. Note: the initial application sought an expansion of 144 sq. ft. o The second is an addition to the accessory structure (garage) that would extend the structure to the south and west, widening and deepening the garage, increasing the garage’s square footage by 102 sq. ft. Note: the initial application sought an expansion of 155 sq. ft. • In total, these additions would increase building coverage by 213 sq. ft. and floor area by 204 sq. ft. Note: the discrepancy between building coverage and floor area is based on how building coverage is measured. Building coverage is calculated from the outside of the masonry wall at grade, whereas floor area is calculated from the outside of the framed wall. • Existing building coverage is compliant, and the proposed variation would increase building coverage beyond the maximum allowable by the Zoning Code by 184 sq. ft. • The existing home and garage exceed the Zoning Code’s maximum building size (floor area) requirements by 858 sq. ft., and the proposed variation would increase the nonconformity by 204 sq. ft., yielding a floor area that is 1,062 sq. ft. above the maximum building size. • The variation is requested to modernize an existing home by standardizing the size of the existing two-car garage and adding a sunroom. • As part of the scope of this work, a portion of the existing rear patio would be removed, resulting in a net reduction of 437 sq. ft. of impervious surfaces. • All other aspects of this proposed addition are compliant with the Zoning Code. 7 Permit History: The permit and zoning request history of 167 Abingdon Road is detailed in the table below.

The petitioner proposes an increase in the existing nonconforming building size (floor area) of 204 sq. ft. for an expansion of the family room and garage addition, totaling 5,142 sq. ft., 1,062 sq. ft. above the maximum allowable floor area. The proposed addition to the principal structure and garage will also increase the existing conforming building coverage by 213 sq. ft., totaling 2,904 sq. ft., 184 sq. ft. above the maximum allowable floor area, creating a nonconformity. As part of this project, 528 sq. ft. of impervious surface would be removed. Section 153.068 (A) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the maximum floor area of a residential building to be calculated as follows: (Lot area X 0.24) + 1,200. No significant alteration has occurred since 2005, and therefore the property is not subject to lower floor area requirements. This lot measures 12,000 sq. ft., resulting in a maximum floor area of 4,080 sq. ft. The existing structures’ floor area measures 4,938 sq. ft., higher than the maximum allowed floor area; the proposed addition would increase floor area by 204 sq. ft., resulting in a proposed floor area of 5,142 sq. ft.

Throop Street 419 Richmond Road Chicago, IL 60642 Kenilworth, IL 60043 July 27th, 2026 Re: Variation Application for 167 Abingdon Ave., Ke nilworth, IL 60043 – Continuation #2 Cover Letter Dear Village of Kenilworth Zoning Board of Appeals, Thank you for reviewing our case at the June 8 th and July 13th ZBA meetings and allowing us to revisit this variation request when more members of the Boa rd are present. As previously stated, we have made considerable cuts, while still maintaining pro gram viability, and are hopeful that these modifications are viewed favorably by all parties. Below is an outline of the adjustments that have been made. We strongly feel these adjustments are a ppropriate and resolve the practical difficulties of the home, while at the same time, a sking for the minimal amount of relief. Garage Modifications In response to the initial feedback received regard ing the size of the garage expansion, we have significantly reduced the footprint and reduced the overall ask from 155 SF to 102 SF. This is a reduction of 53 SF and approximately 34%. We remove d 12” from the proposed width and 15” from the proposed depth. This is the maximum amount of s quare footage that can be removed from the proposed plan while still properly addressing and r esolving the practical difficulties of the existing garage. As previously stated, the garage in its cur rent state is not conducive to the standards of today’s vehicles and modern living. By today’s stan dards it is expected that a garage would be capable of housing two vehicles. The owners drive a n Expedition and a Rivian. Both of which are well within the reasonable standards of a typical S UV. We have sized the garage to the minimum dimensions required to fit these two vehicles. Sunroom Modifications In response to feedback received at the initial hea ring, we have made substantial reductions to the proposed sunroom addition. The original request of 144 SF has been reduced to 102 SF, a decrease of 42 SF or approximately 29%. This modest addition represents the minimum amount of area necessary to address the practical difficulties created by the existing layout of this 100-year-old home. Unlike many contemporary homes, the floor plan was designed for a different era and does not function efficiently for the needs of a modern family. The home's central stair configuration and compartmentalized layout greatly restrict the ability to reconfigure interio r spaces in a meaningful or cost-effective manner. As a result, simply renovating the existing rooms d oes not solve the underlying functional challenges. The requested 102 SF addition is not intended to si gnificantly enlarge the home or create luxury space. Rather, it is a modest modernization that al lows the first floor to function appropriately for a family of six. The additional area creates a usab le family gathering space and provides the flexibility needed for day-to-day family life, including the storage, circulation, and activities that naturally accompany a household with four children. 15 N O R T H W O R K S . C O M 2 Given the constraints of the historic layout, this limited addition is the most reasonable and practical solution available. It resolves a genuine functional hardship while maintaining the character and scale of the existing home. To Summarize In summary, we have reduced the total FAR request b y 95 SF, lowering the original proposal from 299 SF to 204 SF. The requested FAR relief has been reduced to an additional 5%, resulting in a total FAR overage of 26%. Similarly, the building c overage variance has been reduced from 9.9% to 6.8%. Throughout this process, we have carefully evaluate d every square foot of the proposal and have reduced the request wherever possible. The resultin g plan represents the minimum relief necessary to overcome the practical difficulties associated w ith adapting a century-old home to modern family living. Importantly, this request is not driven by a desire for additional luxury space or a substantial expansion of the home. Rather, it is a modest and t houghtful modernization that allows the first floor to function effectively for a family of six w hile respecting the historic character of the residence. The existing floor plan, like many homes built over 100 years ago, presents inherent limitations that cannot be reasonably resolved thro ugh interior renovations alone. The proposed addition provides a practical solution to those lim itations while remaining appropriately scaled and significantly reduced from the original request. We respectfully believe the revised proposal strike s a responsible balance between preserving the historic nature of the home and accommodating the f unctional needs of a modern family. For these reasons, and because the request is consistent with similar relief previously granted by the Board, we kindly ask for your favorable consideration. Thank you again for your time and consideration, an d we look forward to discussing the application at the August hearing. 16 NORTHWORKS.COM 1 167 ABINGDON AVE.

The Board shall not grant, and the Plan Commission, as applicable, shall not recommend approval of, a variation from any of the regulations of this chapter, as authorized by subsection 153.244 (D), unless it shall make a finding of fact, based upon the evidence presented to it in a particular case that: a. In the case of the property, the principal use… Please see Section 153.244 (E.1a) i. Response: Not applicable as this property is residential and not for business purposes. b. The plight of the owner is due to… Please see Section 153.244 (E.1b) i. Response: The unique circumstance of the property is the age of the existing structure s and the standards to which they were built. The current garage does not feasibly fit typical passenger vehicles of today’s standards. The garage cannot be expanded without increasing the allowable building coverage and FAR. Similarly, the lay-out of the existing 100-year old primary residence has small, compartmentalized rooms and small window openings which cannot be rectified without an increase in building coverage an d FAR. c. The variation, if granted, will not alter… Please see Section 153.244 (E.1c) i. Response: The design of the proposed sunroom addition and garage expansion are harmonious with the character of the neighborhood. The scale, proportion and details of the proposed design are aligned with the neighboring properties and are in keeping with the historic nature of the neighborhood. 2. For the purpose of supplementing the above standards, the Board or, as applicable, the Plan Commission, in making its determination whether the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and whether the variation, if granted, may alter the essential character of the locality, shall take into consideration the following factors to the extent that are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board or, as applicable, the Plan Commission: a. The particular physical surroundings… Please see Section 153.244 (E.2a) Response: The existing historic house was built to standards not consistent with the needs of modern living and modern amenities. If the regulations were strictly enforced the detached garage would remain unusable for its intended purpose and the homeowners would continue to be required to park their vehicles outside and unsecured. Similarly, if strictly enforced, the floor plan lay-out of the first floor and basement level would remain inefficient. 17 NORTHWORKS.COM 2 b. The conditions upon… Please see Section 153.244 (E.2b) Response: The request for variation is based solely on the specific conditions of 167 Abingdon Ave. c. The request for variation is not… Please see Section 153.244 (E.2c) Response: The owners would like to have more functional spaces that align with the standards of modern homes while maintaining the history and character of their 100 year-old home. This includes expanding the detached garage so that it can feasible fit vehicles of today’s standards and a proposed sunroom addition to improve the utility and functionality of the first floor and basement level lay-outs. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship… Please see Section 153.244 (E.2d) Response: The current hardship was not created by any person who has an interest in the property. e. The variation will not impair… Please see Section 153.244 (E.2e) Response: There are no additional variations that should be needed outside of the requested FAR and Building Coverage increases. 3. For the purposes of further supplementing the above standards and factors in connection with requests for variation from the requirements of Sect. 153.068, the Board, in making its determination, may also take into consideration the following factors, amon g other factors deemed relevant by the Board: a. The effects of the proposed construction… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3a) Response: The proposed modifications are in keeping with the character of the existing home and neighboring homes. b. The proximity of the proposed construction… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3b) Response: The proximity of the proposed expansion and addition are consistent with the neighboring homes and do not negatively impact them in any way . c. The relative proximity of the proposed construction… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3c) Response: The request for variation of the proposed sunroom and garage expansion is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. No proposed work is encroaching into any setback, all is occurring within the allowable building area. d. The magnitude of the variation… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3d) Response: The variation request is for a 204 S.F. increase in FAR (5.0%) and a 184 S.F. increase in Building Coverage (6.8%) to be used towards expansion of the existing detached garage and sunroom addition on the primary residence. e. The need for other variations… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3e) Response: There are no other variations requested. f. The need for the variation to allow… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3f) Response: The request for variation is based on the owner’s desire to maintain the historical context of their home while updating it as needed to comply with the standards of modern living. Given the central stair location, it greatly limits the ability to reconfigure the rooms in a meaningful or cost-effective way. Relocating stairs is a considerable undertaking and not efficient or respective to the original architecture of 18 NORTHWORKS.COM 3 the home. g. The efficient and advantageous use… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3g) Response: The proposed additions make efficient use of the existing structures. The existing garage is being largely maintained and being increased as minimally as possible to make it a viable space for housing vehicles. We have reduced the width by 12” and the depth by 15” since the original request. Similarly, the sunroom addition adds as minimal space as possible while accomplishing the goal of modernizing and improving the functionality of the interior lay-out. We have reduced the width by 12” and the depth by 24” since the original request. h. The reasonableness of the variation… Please see Section 153.244 (E.3h) Response: The requested variation is reasonable and maintains the cohesively scaled and well-proportioned existing residence that fits seamlessly into the neighboring properties. Neither of the proposed modifications are visible from the street and do not negatively impact the neighborhood. In fact, the proposed sunroom actually enhances the rear façade by improving the rhythm and symmetry. 4. For the purposes of supplementing the above standards and factors in connection with requests for variations from the requirements of Sect. 153.067, the Board, in making its determination, may also take into consideration the following factors, among other factors deemed relevant by the Board, to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board: a. The height and location of existing and proposed structures… Please see Section 153.244 (E.4a) i. Response: The sunroom addition is single-story and lower in height than the 2.5 story primary residence. The detailing draws from the existing kitchen box bay, therefore complementing the historic structure. Similarly, the garage expansion maintains the same height and finish materials as the existing garage. b. The need to maintain the height of the proposed structure… Please see Section 153.244 (E.4b) i. Response: See above. The proposed addition and expansion are of appropriate scale. c. The need to maintain a particular height of a proposed addition… Please see Section 153.244 (E.4c) i. Response: See above. The proposed addition and expansion are of appropriate scale. 5. For the purposes of supplementing the above standards with regard to variations for signs, the Board or, as applicable, the Plan Commission, in making its determination, may also take into consideration the following factors to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board or, as applicable, the Plan Commission: a. In the case of a commercial message sign… Please see Section 153.244 (E.5a) i. Response: Not applicable as this property is residential and not for business purposes. b. The variation will not endanger the public safety… Please see Section 153.244 (E.5b) Response: There will be no additional curb cuts with the proposed construction, therefore the request for variation will not cause any sort of public endangerment or diminished property values. c. The variation would not result in a sign or master sign plan… Please see Section 19 NORTHWORKS.COM 4 153.244 (E.5c) Response: Not applicable as this property is residential and will not require signage . 20 Building | Planning Division 419 Richmond Rd.

PROFESSIONAL SEAL 05/01/2026 ZONING BOARD REVIEW 06/24/2026 ZONING BOARD REVIEW - REVISED EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS - PROPOSED SUNROOM ADDITION A2.0 39 6 Standards for Variations For Zoning Variations, please respond to the applicable standards listed below in the written explanation of the request. (1) The Board shall not grant a variance from any of the regulations of Chapter 153: Zoning, as authorized by Subsection 153.244(D), unless it shall make a finding of fact, based upon the evidence presented to it in a particular case, that: (a) In the case of property the principal use of which is for business purposes, the property in qu estion cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations applicable to the district in which it is located; (b) The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances; and (c) The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. (2) For the purposes of supplementing the above standards, the Board, in making its determination whether the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and whether the variation, if granted, may alter the essential character of the locality, shall take into consideration the following factors to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board: (a) The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical condition of the property in question would result in a practical difficulty or particular hardship upon the applicant for the variation, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulation were enforced; (b) The conditions upon which the application for variation is based would not be applicable generally to other property in the same district; (c) The request for the variation is not based exclusively upon the desire to make more money out of the property; (d) The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property; (e) The variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties or substantially increase the runoff of storm water onto adjacent properties or public streets, or substantially increase congestion in the public streets or increase the danger of fire or otherwise endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. (3) For the purpose of further supplementing the above standards and factors in connection with requests for variations from the requirements of Section 153.068, the Board, in making its determination, may also take into consideration the following factors, among other factors deemed relevant by the Board, to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board: (a) The effects of the proposed construction on the overall appearance of the size and bulk of the existing structures on the property when viewed from streets abutting the property and from adjacent properties; (b) The proximity of the proposed construction to streets abutting the property and to adjacent properties; (c) The relative proximity of the proposed construction to streets abutting the property and to adjacent properties in comparison with the relative proximity of existing structures on other properties in the same vicinity; (d) The magnitude of the variation requested in absolute terms and in proportion to the floor area and/or impervious surfaces allowed if the strict letter of the regulation were enforced; 40 7 (e) The need for other variations in connection with the proposed construction and the nature and extent of those other variations; (f) The need for the variation to allow the owner or occupant of the property to make reasonable use of a structure, the design of which otherwise fails to conform to generally accepted or prevailing standards of the Village for the use and enjoyment of a structure as a residence for a family; (g) The efficient and advantageous use of existing structures and the degree to which the proposed construction makes efficient, economical, and advantageous use of existing and proposed floor area and impervious surfaces; and (h) The reasonableness of the variation requested in light of the purposes served by the proposed construction and the design problems of the existing structure intended to be alleviated by the proposed construction. (4) For purposes of supplementing the above standards and factors in connection with requests for variations from the requirements of Section 153.067, the Board, in making its determination, may also take into consideration the following factors, among other factors deemed relevant by the Board, to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant by the Board: (a) The height and location of existing and proposed structures on the property and adjacent properties; (b) The need to maintain the height of the proposed structure in relation to the height of an existing structure in order to enable the existing and proposed structures to present a pleasing appearance reflecting architectural integrity and harmony among separate structural elements; and (c) The need to maintain a particular height of a proposed addition to a structure in order to observe sound structural design and accommodate good building practices in the construction of the proposed addition. (5) For the purpose of supplementing the above standards with regard to variations for signs, the Board, in making its determination shall take into consideration the following factors to the extent they are established by the evidence and deemed relevant to the Board: a) In the case of a commercial message sign, strict application of the Kenilworth Sign Code would render the applicant unable to yield a reasonable return from its property. b) The variation will not endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood; c) The variation would not result in a sign or master sign plan as required by the Kenilworth Sign Code that: 1. Would not be in harmony with the general and specific purposes for which the Kenilworth Sign Code and the provisions from which a variation is sought were enacted; 2. Would be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of adjacent property or improvements; 3. Would substantially increase congestion in the public streets due to parking or traffic; 4. Would create an unnecessary distraction to vehicle and pedestrian traffic; and 5. Would result in a sign that is not aesthetically consistent with the environment, or not proportional or architecturally compatible with existing land uses and buildings and with any adjacent residential neighborhood. 41
