3 issues in zoning with low priority
Residential variance requests in the R-1-15 District
A North Chili homeowner seeks relief from the 60-foot front-yard setback to add a long covered-style open porch. The hearing gives neighbors a chance to support or raise concerns before the board decides.
Residential area variances for home improvements
Two homeowners needed variances to place sheds closer to lot lines than the R-1-15 zoning district's 8-foot setback allows. Both were approved unanimously, showing the board's flexibility for minor intrusions.

Chili Family Dental wants a third wall sign, but the code allows corner-lot businesses only two — one per street frontage. The Board tabled the request while the applicant weighs shrinking or relocating the sign.
