Here is the minutes provided by the board:
Due to the Disaster Declaration issued by the Governor of the State of Illinois relative to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Village Council meeting was held by teleconference.

Where the required north side yard setback is 18.546 feet, the applicant is requesting a side yard setback of 17.59 feet at the property commonly known as 12519 South Iroquois Road in Palos Park, IL. Zoning Board of Appeals met on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 to consider the matter.
