ORDINANCE AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND REQUEST FOR FENCE
VARIANCE FOR PLAYGROUND AT MONTINI CATHOLIC SCHOOL, 3504
WASHINGTON STREET
Director of Community Development Napolitano stated Montini Catholic School is
requesting an expansion of its conditional use permit to allow a playground on their
property west of the existing school site. In addition, the school is requesting a variance to
allow the installation of a five-foot high fence along the perimeter of the lot which would
surround the playground. Director Napolitano explained the site of the proposed
playground is located on a double-frontage lot. Erecting a fence along its perimeter
requires a variance from the fence requirements contained in the Municipal Code. Staff
supports the requested expansion of the conditional use permit and fence variance.
October 16, 2006
Page 6
In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. James Chrzan, Chairpersons of the Montini
Primary Center Playground Committee.
Alderman Glab inquired why the fence is not being located on the west property
line. Mr. Chrzan explained the 2 '/ foot setback allows a buffer between the playground
and the residence to the west.
Motion by Condon, seconded by Schaefer, to accept Staffs recommendation as
follows regarding Montini Primary Center located at 3504 Washington Street:
1. Pass an ordinance granting an expansion to the existing conditional use permit
allowing a school playground in a residential district;
2. Grant a variance to allow a five-foot high black ornamental aluminum fence
around the perimeter of the playground lot located immediately west of the
existing school building.
