Public Information Meeting – Eugenia Chojnowski Mobile Home Variance

The applicant is seeking a variance from the 10-foot setback between mobile homes located at 10825 Little Heron Circle in Corkscrew Woodlands.   Due to the placement of the mobile home and the configuration of the parcel, there is a portion of the home that encroaches in the 10-foot setback.

The Board voted to delegate this to the Village staff to deal with administratively.

The Board conducted a workshop for the Clean Machine Car Wash. The applicant is seeking to construct a 3,610 square foot, one-story drive through car wash and associated infrastructure on a 1-acre vacant parcel.

They presented their new architectural design with two color scheme options. The wash water will be recycled and reused, then cleaned before going into the sewer system.  There will be silencers on the blowers as well as clear vinyl doors which will help deflect noise.  This will be an express car wash with the cycle to be completed within two minutes.  The heritage trees will be preserved.

This property is located on the east side of US 41 at the intersection of US 41 and Vintage Parkway. The vacant parcel is approximately 200 feet north of Aldi Grocery Store and opposite Breckenridge Drive.  (Presentation)

Public Comment: A resident representing The Vines spoke of a number of concerns the community has about the proposed car wash.  In addition, the Board received a number of comments via email.

No voting occurs during workshops.
