BACKGROUND: The subject site consists of two parcels,0.28 acres and 0.068 acres in size respectively. Both parcels are owned by the petitioner and each is occupied by a residential dwelling, one much larger than the other. The larger single-family residence at 642 South Oakland Avenue has been issued an approval under a State of Illinois license for a Day Care Large-Home, but without a city permit. The petitioner intends to construct a garage and connect the larger single-family residence with two breeze-ways to the existing smaller single-family residence at 1090 West Tuttle Street to make all into one building. Upon fizrther review following the Plan Commission meeting, staff believes that a stipulation should be incorporated, prohibiting the property to be further subdivided in the furizre after the proposed construction is completed. The smaller single-family residence building will become an accessory building for the daycare home operation, The petitioner has been operating a small and large daycare out of her home at 642 South Oakland Avenue for almost 25 years. In 2010, the State of Illinois issued a license to the petitioner to operate a large daycare within her home, for a maximum of si�een(16)children. The petitioner currently has a total of siateen(16)minor children ranging from 16 weeks to 12 years old for care of less than 24 hours at the residence. There is a six(6) foot high privacy fence in the rear yard at 642 Oakland Avenue residence for outdoor activities. The petitioner has met other requirements for joining adjacent lots.
