The Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals met on May 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers to consider several petitions for variations, special use permits, and a repeal of a variation. The board voted on five agenda items, including approvals for trailer parking, a truck parking facility with CNG fueling, and a repeal of a multifamily variation, while denying requests for container stacking. Public comment was heard on one petition.
The meeting adjourned after all business was completed. Note: Board member Bob Nachtrieb was absent. Decisions on variations and special use permits (except 2026-23) are advisory to the City Council; the board's decision on 2026-23 is final.
Okay. The meeting will please come to order. This is a duly advertised meeting of the Juliet Zoning Board of Appeals. In our capacity, we hear petitions for relief from the strict provisions of our city ordinance. In matters of this type, the decision of the board is final. Respect it does not go to the mayor or the city council for any further action. If you do not like our decision, you do have recourse in a court of record. We also hear petitions for variations of land use. In matters of this type, we act as an advisory committee to the mayor and city council, making the recommendation either for or against it. Final decision on land use is made by the city manager. The mayor and the city council. Secretary. Mr. Bias. Mr. Noctrie. Ms. Radakovich. Ms. Schmid. Here. Mr. Stiff. Here. German Hennessy. Here. All right. First on the agenda is approval of the April sixteenth, twenty twenty-six zoning board of appeals minutes. Motion be in order. Motion. Second. Mr. Bias. Ms. Radakovich. Ms. Schmeg. I wasn't present, so I can't vote. Mr. Stiff. I know. Chairman Hennessy. Okay. Motion carried. Next on the agenda is citizens to be heard on agenda items. This section is for anyone wanting to speak regarding agenda items and are allowed a maximum of four minutes. It is not a question and answer period, and staff and the zoning board of appeals members do not generally respond to public comments. I'm going to note that everything on the agenda today is a public hearing. So if you have something to say and you would like your what you want to say be part of the record of the public hearing, um it would be probably more appropriate to speak then, but if you would also like to speak now, um this is the time. Okay, seeing none, we're gonna move on to old business public hearing of which we have no agenda items, which brings us to new business public hearing.
