HomeMy WebLinkAbout5. NEW BUSINESS 10/17/06 Village of Mount Prospect Community Development Department MEMORANDUM TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER VB~ 10- l7- ()G;, ~~ FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: OCTOBER 13,2006 SUBJECT: PZ-26-06 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (DRNE - THRU) 1800 S. ELMHURST ROAD AMCORE BANK - APPLICANT The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-26-06, a request for a Conditional Use permit to allow a drive-thru for the proposed Amcore Bank, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their September 28, 2006 meeting. The Subject Property is located on the west side of Elmhurst Road, south of Algonquin Road. The site contains a vacant pizza restaurant and a vacant Mexican restaurant with related improvements. The Petitioner proposes to demolish the two former restaurant buildings and construct a new, 5,598.92 square foot bank building with five drive-thru lanes (located on the south elevation of the building). The size of the building is smaller than previously requested and noted in the attached Staff Memo in order to meet the Village's setback requirements. The proposal now meets the Village's setback regulations and Variation approval is not required. In order to develop the site as proposed, the Petitioner is requesting approval of a Conditional Use to allow the drive-thru. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request in depth. The changes to the site plan were reviewed and the Petitioner explained modifications to the floor plan and the smaller building footprint. The Commission noted that the site could accommodate 25 stacking spaces for the drive-thru, which is the amount required per Village Code. The Petitioner provided background information on Amcore Bank and reviewed the other bank locations. The adjacent property owner, Babu Patel, addressed the Commission and presented his concerns about the project. Mr. Pate1s's concerns related to the vehicles using the drive-thru would cause exhaust fumes to blow on to his property, that redeveloping the site would eliminate access to his hotel from Elmhurst Road, and that a bank is not the best use for this location. After addressing Mr. Patel's concerns, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the request for a Conditional Use permit to allow a 5-lane drive-thru for the proposed Amcore Bank subject to the following conditions: I) Develop the site in accordance with the site plan prepared by Marchris Engineering, Ltd, emailed to Staff September 25, 2006 that reflects the project meeting all required setbacks including the landscape setbacks; 2) Develop the site in accordance with the elevations prepared by Larson & Darby Group dated July 20, 2006; PZ-26-06 October 13,2006 Page 2 3) Develop the site in accordance with the landscape plan prepared by Thomas Graceffa & Associates dated August 15, 2006 but revised to reflect the required setbacks and include additional landscaping along the west and south lot lines, and to include additional year-round plants throughout the site; 4) Prior to submitting a building permit application, revise the photometric (lighting) plan to include fixture information and light levels under the drive-thru canopy; the plan shall comply with Sec. 14.314 & 14.2219 of the Village Code; 5) The development shall meet all Development, Fire, Building, and other Village Codes and regulations, which include but is not limited to installing automatic sprinklers and fire alarm, and signage that meet the Village Sign Code regulations. 6) Approval of appropriate permits by I.D.O.T. and M.W.R.D. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their October 17,2006 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter. lit H:\PLAATI,PlaIlllmg & Zoning COMM\P&Z 2006\MEJ Mcmos\PZ-26-06 MEJ (1800 S Elmhurst Road).doc MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION CASE NO. PZ-26-06 Hearing Date: September 28, 2006 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1800 S. Elmhurst Road PETITIONER: Laura Williamson, Amcore Bank N.A. PUBLICATION DATE: September 13,2006 PIN NUMBERS: 08-23-401-028-0000 REQUESTS: Conditional Use (Drive-thru) MEMBERS PRESENT: Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Joseph Donnelly Leo Floros Marl ys Haaland Ronald Roberts Richard Rogers Keith Youngquist Mary Johnson, Alternate STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Judith Connolly, AICP, Senior Planner Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development INTERESTED PARTIES: Laura Williamson, Michael Capusic, Dean Vass, Steve Zalusky, Babu Patel Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:31 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the minutes of the August 24, 2006 meeting, as amended, and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was approved 7-0. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to continue case PZ-17-06 to the October 26,2006 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. Marlys Haaland seconded the motion. The motion was approved 7-0. Chairperson Juracek introduced Case Number PZ-26-06 at 7:34 p.m.; a request for a Conditional Use for a drive- thru. Judith Connolly, Senior Planner, stated the Subject Property is located on the southwest corner of Algonquin and Elmhurst Roads. She said the site contains a vacant a pizza restaurant and a vacant Mexican restaurant with related improvements. She stated that the Subject Property is bordered an II Limited Industrial Planned Unit Development to the west and south, by the B3 Community Shopping and B4 Corridor Commercial zoning districts to the north, and a variety of commercial uses located within Des Plaines to the east. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner revised the proposal since the Staff Report was sent. She stated that the foot print of the building was scaled back and the site now complies with the 10-foot perimeter landscape setback as well as the 10-foot foundation landscape requirement. She said the Petitioner is no longer seeking Variations, just Conditional Use approval for the drive-thru aspect of the bank. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner proposes to demolish the two former restaurant buildings and construct a new, 5,598.92 square foot bank building with five drive-thru lanes (located on the south elevation of the building). She stated that the size of the building is smaller than previously requested in order to meet the Village's setback requirements. She said the building's exterior will be constructed from a combination of materials, but primarily face brick. The building will have a peaked roof. Arlene Juracek, Chair Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 PZ-26-06 Page 2 Ms. Connolly said although the site currently contains two separate buildings, the site is one lot of record. She stated that subject to IDOT approval, the Petitioner proposes to close existing curb cuts and reconfigure access to the site. She stated that a 'right-in/right-out' driveway will provide access from Algonquin Road, and Elmhurst Road will have one driveway located towards the south end of the Subject Property. She said the driveway closings will improve traffic flow to/from the site. She stated that as previously noted, the proposal noW meets the Village's setback regulations and Variation approval is no longer being sought. Ms. Connolly stated that the site plan illustrates the proposed parking lot layout for the bank. She said the site plan indicates 25 stacking spaces will be provided, which meets zoning regulations. The site exceeds the minimum off-street parking requirement of 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet and provides 39 parking spaces. Ms. Connolly said the landscape plan details the proposed plant materials and sizes. She stated that the proposed plant list includes a variety of plant materials and trees. However, the perimeter of the site lacks sufficient year- round materials and should be revised to provide adequate coverage and interest for all four seasons. Ms. Connolly stated that the Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposed project and agreed with the Petitioner's decision to close the existing driveways and reconfigure access to the site. Also, the number of proposed stacking was found to be adequate for the site. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner submitted a preliminary lighting plan that indicates light levels will comply with the Village's lighting regulations. She stated that fixture details were not included, but can be addressed at time of Building Permit application. She said the site is required to use full cut-off fixtures and drive-thru canopy lights need to be installed flush with the canopy and may include the use of directional surface mount lights, as cited in the Village Code. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner submitted a sign package for the Subject Property. She said the proposal depicts the types of signs to be installed and each signs' location. Since the Staff report was sent, the Petitioner verified the correct elevations and the size of the proposed wall sign. In fact, the size of the wall sign was reduced to less than 20 square feet, which continues to comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations. Ms Connolly stated that the Petitioner's sign package calls for a freestanding sign to be located along the Algonquin Road frontage and for another freestanding sign to be located along the Elmhurst Road frontage. She said the number of signs and the size of the proposed signface complies with Sign Code regulations. She stated that the Petitioner has worked with their sign installer to verify that the freestanding signs will not be located within the 10-foot sight triangle. Therefore, the sign proposal meets Village Code requirements. Ms. Connolly said the revised proposal meets the current setback regulations. Since the Petitioner is no longer seeking Variations, that section of the Staff report is no longer applicable and will not be reviewed. However, the Petitioner's request to construct a drive-thru bank requires Conditional Use approval for the drive-thru lanes. She said the proposed bank has been designed to meet current Village Code requirements and the overall site development will meet all Building, Fire, and Development Code requirements. She stated that access to the site, the drive-thru lanes, and parking spaces have been designed according to Village regulations. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's request to construct a drive-thru bank meets the standards for a Conditional Use. She said the bank will not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent retail center and the manner in which the parking lot will be reconfigured will not impair the use or value of the adjacent properties. The bank-use complies with the Comprehensive Plan and will be constructed according to Village Codes. Ms. Connolly said based on these findings, Staff recommends the following revised motion; the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following: Arlene Juracek, Chair Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 PZ-26-06 Page 3 To approve the Petitioner's request for a Conditional Use permit to operate a bank with a drive-thru subject to the following conditions: 1) Develop the site in accordance with the site plan prepared by Marchris Engineering, Ltd, revision date September 25, 2006 which reflects all the required setbacks including the landscape setbacks; 2) Develop the site in accordance with the elevations prepared by Larson & Darby Group dated July 20, 2006; 3) Develop the site in accordance with the landscape plan prepared by Thomas Graceffa & Associates dated August 15, 2006 but revised to reflect the required setbacks and include additional landscaping along the west and south lot lines, and to include additional year-round plants throughout the site; 4) Develop the site in accordance with the signage proposed by Sign Productions, Inc, revision date September 25, 2006; 5) Prior to submitting a building permit application, revise the photometric (lighting) plan to include fixture information and light levels under the drive-thru canopy; the plan shall comply with Sec. 14.314 & 14.2219 of the Village Code; 6) The development shall meet all Development, Fire, Building, and other Village Codes and regulations, which include but is not limited to installing automatic sprinklers and fire alarm, and signage that meet the Village Sign Code regulations. 7) Approval of appropriate permits by I.D.O.T. and M.W.R.D. Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case. Chairperson Juracek called for questions for Staff. Joseph Donnelly asked if this property is one lot of record now. Ms. Connolly confirmed that this is one lot of record. There were no additional questions for Staff. Chairperson Juracek swore in Laura Williamson, representing Amcore Bank, 501 ih Street, Rockford, Illinois. Chairperson Juracek asked Ms. Williamson if they agree to all of the conditions of the Staff Report. Ms. Williamson stated that they are in agreement with the conditions and thanked Staff for working closely with them in revising the project. Ms. Williamson showed exhibits demonstrating what the exterior of the building will look like. She stated that she was here to answer any questions the Commissioners may have for her. Richard Rogers stated that the project calls for 25 stacking-parking spaces; however the plan only shows 23 spaces. Ms. Connolly stated that the revised plan does account for all 25 spaces. Leo Floros asked for more information on Amcore Bank. Ms. Williamson showed a map with over 70 branches located in Wisconsin and Illinois, showing expansion into the Chicago-land area. She stated that the key market for Amcore is the mid-size business and middle-market customers. Chairperson Juracek asked what the capitalization of the bank is; Ms. Williamson said she was not sure, but did state that the bank is publicly traded. There were no further questions for the petitioner. Chairperson Juracek stated that the Commission did receive two letters of support for the project. She then asked for comments from the audience. Chairperson Juracek swore in Babu Patel, 3730 West Devon, Linco1nwood, Illinois. Mr. Patel is the owner of the AAA Tower Inn located at 303 West Algonquin Road. He stated that they oppose the project because it would eliminate access to the hotel from Elmhurst and westbound access from Algonquin. Mr. Patel also stated that exhaust and pollution from the stacked cars in the drive-thru is a concern for the hotel guests. He said another concern is future development of the site; with the bank going into this property, it eliminates the opportunity for future development of restaurants or other tax generating businesses. Arlene Juracek, Chair Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 PZ-26-06 Page 4 Chairperson Juracek stated that she understands Mr. Patel's two primary concerns as pollution from stacked vehicles and his property's access to Elmhurst. As to his first concern, she stated that the revised plan includes a lO-foot landscape buffer between his hotel and the drive-thru to reduce the impact on the hotel property. As to his second concern, she said that as the sole owner of the hotel property, and without a legal agreement preserving access through another property, he would be responsible for ensuring access for his own property. Chairperson Juracek stated that his request to ensure access to his property is beyond the scope of the Planning and Zoning Commission. She suggested that Mr. Patel submit his proposal and work with staff to address his concerns regarding the access points to his property. Chairperson Juracek called for additional questions, hearing none, the public hearing was closed at 7:56 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve a Conditional Use for a drive-thru as presented, with the conditions presented by Staff, for the property at 1800 South Elmhurst Road, Case Number PZ-26-06. Marlys Haaland seconded the motion. UPON ROLL CALL: AYES: Donnelly, Floros, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers, Youngquist, Juracek NAYS: None Motion was approved 7-0. After hearing one additional case, Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 10:37 p.m., seconded by Richard Rogers. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

ELMHURST ROAD BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the September 28, 2006 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Amcore Bank (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 1800 S. Elmhurst Road (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested the following approvals: 1) Conditional Use to construct a drive-thru bank, and 2) a Variation for the proposed landscape setback. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the September 13, 2006 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located on the southwest comer of Algonquin and Elmhurst Roads. The site contains a vacant a pizza restaurant and a vacant Mexican restaurant with related improvements. The Subject Property is bordered an 11 * Limited Industrial Planned Unit Development to the west and south, by the B3 Community Shopping and B4 Corridor Commercial zoning districts to the north, and a variety of commercial uses located within Des Plaines to the east. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The attached materials outline the Petitioner's proposed bank facility in detail. The various elements of the proposal are outlined below: BuildiD2 Desi2D - The Petitioner proposes to demolish the two former restaurant buildings and construct a new, 5,928 square foot bank building with five drive-thru lanes (located on the south elevation of the building). The building's exterior will be constructed from a combination of materials, but primarily face brick. The building will have a peaked roof. Site Lavout - Although the site currently contains two separate buildings, the site is one lot of record. Subject to IDOT approval, the Petitioner proposes to close existing curb cuts and reconfigure access to the site. A 'right- in/right-out' driveway will provide access from Algonquin Road, ~Elmhurst Road will have one driveway located towards the south end of the Subject Property. The driv.-eway closings will improve traffic flow to/from h . ~ t e SIte. - PZ-26-06 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 Page 3 The proposed bank building and drive-thru will comply with the Village's setback regulations. However, the Petitioner is seeking a Variation for the proposed landscape setback along the west lot line. The attached site plan indicates a 7.8' perimeter landscape setback along the west lot line and an 8-foot foundation landscaping around the west elevation of the building. The Village Code requires a 10' perimeter and foundation landscape setback; therefore the Petitioner is seeking a Variation to approve the site plan with the substandard landscape setbacks as shown on the proposed site plan. Parkint?: - The attached site plan depicts the proposed parking lot layout for the bank. The site plan indicates 25 stacking spaces will be provided, which meets zoning regulations. However, the Petitioner notes in the enclosed application that the banking industry has found that customers are not likely to wait in a drive-thru lane that contains more than 2 or 3 cars. The site exceeds the minimum off-street parking requirement of 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet and provides 39 parking spaces. The following chart summarizes parking requirements and shows that the site will exceed the Village's parking regulations. 'fa.l"ldIt2:Breakdo'WIi " C" '0: < .

Fixture details were not included, but can be addressed at time of Building Permit application. Please note that the Petitioner has not requested relief from the Village's lighting regulations and will be required to comply with the Village's regulations. The site is required to use full cut-off fixtures and drive-thru canopy lights need to be installed flush with the canopy and may include the use of directional surface mount lights, as cited in the Village Code. Landscapin2 - The attached landscape plan details the proposed plant materials and sizes. The proposed plant list includes a variety of plant materials and trees. However, the perimeter of the site lacks sufficient year-round materials and should be revised to provide adequate coverage and interest for all four seasons. Traffic - The Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposed project and agreed with the Petitioner's decision to close the existing driveways and reconfigure access to the site. Also, the number of proposed stacking was found to be adequate for the site. Sit?:na2e - The Petitioner submitted a sign package for the Subject Property. The proposal depicts the types of signs to be installed and each signs location. Wall Signs: Staff reviewed the proposal and found discrepancies between the elevations prepared by Sign Production, which were included with the sign proposal package, and the elevations prepared by Larson & Darby on Sheet A-2. The Petitioner confirmed that the correct elevations will include a red panel, not white as shown on the Larson & Darby exhibit, and will have the letters On a raceway. The size of the proposed text is less than 24 square feet and complies with the Village's Sign Code regulations. PZ-26-06 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 Page 4 Freestanding Signs: The Petitioner's sign package calls for a freestanding sign to be located along the Algonquin Road frontage and for another freestanding sign to be located along the Elmhurst Road frontage. The number of signs and the size of the proposed signface complies with Sign Code regulations. However, the location and dimensions shown on the Petitioner's plan indicates the signs will be located in the 10' sight triangle. The Petitioner explained that the 'arm' of the sign points in, towards the bank, and that the solid part of the base would be closest to the road. The proposal does not comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations which prohibit structures in the 10' setback (Sec.7.801). The Petitioner was made aware of this and is in the process of verifying the exact location of the sign and agreed to revise the freestanding sign and/or relocating it to meet Sign Code regulations. The following table summarizes the information shown on the Petitioner's exhibits and the Village's Sign Code regulations. .. CQde tJrilitl;ltiQj1;.

Freestanding Sign 75 sq. ft. / 12 60 sq. ft. / 12' from from grade grade 10' from lot line .'- '.:PIPP6seclSetPack'- Varies, but less than 10' shown on exhibit GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE The proposed building and drive-thru meets the current setback regulations. However, sections of the proposed landscape setback do not comply with the minimum 10-foot setback required by the Zoning Ordinance. The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to allow less than a 10' perimeter landscape setback and foundation landscape setback along portions of the west lot line and west elevation of the building. VARIATION STANDARDS The standards for a Variation are listed in Section l4.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these findings: . A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person presently having an interest in the property; . Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and . Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character. Variation for perimeter and foundation landscaping: Initially, the Petitioner's proposal called for a 3.8' landscape setback along the west lot line and a 6.2' landscape setback along the south lot line. The Petitioner worked with Staff to revise the site plan so minimal relief from Village regulations would be requested; the only Variation being sought now is to allow a 7.8' perimeter landscape setback and an 8-foot foundation landscape setback. The Petitioner explains in their application that the "conditions... are unique to the property in that the sizing of the property and the placement and required sizing of site elements requires the variations." In addition, providing the bypass lane along the west lot line to allow a safe traffic flow requires 10' of pavement. PZ-26-06 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 Page 5 Staff found that the size of the Subject Property and the location of the building could make it somewhat challenging to develop a drive-thru bank that would meet all zoning regulations. However, the proposed bank is new construction, so the Petitioner has the ability to reduce the size of the building footprint and meet the required setbacks. Increasing the amount of landscaping and including more year-round materials may minimize the impact of the proposed landscape setback, but the setback Variation request fails to meet the standards for a Variation because the Petitioner has not demonstrated the request is based on a hardship. CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary of these findings: · The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; · The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; · Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and · Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The Petitioner's request to construct a drive-thru bank requires Conditional Use approval for the drive-thru lanes. The proposed bank has been designed to meet current Village Code requirements and the overall site development will meet all Building, Fire, and Development Code requirements. Access to the site, the drive-thru lanes, and parking spaces have been designed according to Village regulations. The petitioner's request to construct a drive-thru bank meets the standards for a Conditional Use. The bank will not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent retail center and the manner in which the parking lot will be reconfigured will not impair the use or value of the adjacent properties. The use (a bank) complies with the Comprehensive Plan and will be constructed according to Village Codes. RECOMMENDATION Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the following motions: 1. That the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the following motion, "To approve the Petitioner's requests for Variations to allow a 7.8' perimeter landscape setback along the west lot line and an 8' foundation landscape setback along the west elevation of the building. 2. That the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following motion: To approve the Petitioner's request for a Conditional Use permit to operate a bank with a drive-thru subject to the following conditions: 1) Develop the site in accordance with the site plan prepared by Marchris Engineering, Ltd, revision date September 20, 2006 but revised to reflect all required setbacks including the landscape setbacks; PZ-26-06 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting September 28, 2006 Page 6 2) Develop the site in accordance with the elevations prepared by Larson & Darby Group dated July 20, 2006; 3) Develop the site in accordance with the landscape plan prepared by Thomas Graceffa & Associates dated August 15, 2006 but revised to reflect the required setbacks and include additional landscaping along the west and south lot lines, and to include additional year-round plants throughout the site; 4) Revise the proposed sign age to comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations; 5) Prior to submitting a building permit application, revise the photometric (lighting) plan to include fixture information and light levels under the drive-thru canopy; the plan shall comply with Sec. 14.314 & 14.2219 of the Village Code; 6) The development shall meet all Development, Fire, Building, and other Village Codes and regulations, which include but is not limited to installing automatic sprinklers and fire alarm, and signage that meet the Village Sign Code regulations: 7) Approval of appropriate permits by I.D.O.T. and M.W.R.D." The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Those standards relate to the potential effects on nearby properties. The standards for Conditions Use approval are: I. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The subject property is at the southwest comer of Algonquin Road and Elmhurst Road in Mount Prospect. Similarly zoned parcels characterize the immediate surrounding commercial area. Uses on these parcels include automobile filling station, motel, and other commercial establishments. The proposal would redevelop a vacant building into a thriving business serving the surrounding property owners and the community at large. The project function within the existing context is intended to provide a positive use for the area and will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. 2. That the conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located. The proposed redevelopment has the potential of stimulating other development and improvements in the immediate surrounding area. In addition, the nature of usage of a bank by its customers and employees would appear to make this Conditional Use a most desirable fit with the surrounding properties and will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located. 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. CONSULTING CIVIL TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS 100 East State Parkway Schaumburg, IL 60173 847-885-8357 FAX: 847-885-2252 mel@marchris.net The nature of usage of a bank by its customers and employees make this Conditional Use a most desirable fit with the surrounding properties and will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located. 4. That adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be provided. The developers of the AMCORE Bank are proposing a new building that is in compliance with all zoning requirements for the Village of Mount Prospect. As such, all village requirements having to do with utilities, access, drainage, lighting, signage, etc. shall be met. 5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The proposed redevelopment provides 39 parking spaces. The Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance "Off-Street Parking and Loading" reads that the number of off-street parking spaces for commercial, retail, services (freestanding stores, etc) shall be: 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet gross floor area. This would establish a requirement of 24 parking spaces onsite. This proposed number of parking spaces will accommodate the peak number of employees and peak number of customers projected to be in the bank at anyone time. 6. That the proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village;and The parcel in question is located within an area that is zoned B4 Business Retail & Service. Surrounding this B4 zone is an II Limited Industrial PUD. The design, location of the proposed building on the property, the architecture and signage, and the use of landscaping are all being established in a way that maximizes the sensitivity to the surrounding areas with the intent of providing a development that is compatible with the surrounding properties. The proposed redevelopment will enhance the neighborhood and could well have an increasing effect on property values in the surrounding area. The new facility will be an added convenience for the customers and commuters in the vicinity. 7. That the conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may, in each instance, be modified pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning & Zoning Commission. The design of the proposed AMCORE Bank development is intended to conform to the applicable regulations of the Village, lllinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), and any other required jurisdictional agencies. -2- CONSULTING CIVIL TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS CORE Bank October 4, 2006 William J.
