OLD BUSINESS ZBA 66-A-88 ZBA 66-A-88, Text Amendments Text Amendments An Ordinance was presented for second reading that AMEND CH.14 would amend various Sections of Chapter 14, Zoning, relative to the size of garages in residential districts; impervious surface coverage; setbacks for parking in commercial districts; satellite dishes in B-3 and B-4 districts; excluding specified uses in I-1 districts; permitting day-care as a Special Use in B-i, B-3 and B-4 districts; and, driveway width of 15 feet for a one-car garage in a residential district. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approving ~the~e. a~endments by a vote of 6-1. There was discussion as to the proposal for a 30 foot front yard setback for businesses, noting that it appears to be a severe restriction on businesses, especially in areas with limited lot size. It was noted that the parking amendments approved a few months ago provided for a 30 foot setback for parking and the proposal establishes the same setback for buildings. The consensus of opinion regarding this subject was that the staff and Board would monitor the requests with the possibility of taking another look at this subject at a future date. ORD.NO. 4027 Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved for passage of Ordinance No. 4027 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SPECIFIED SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 14 ENTITLED "ZONING ORDINANCE" OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Page 2 - February 21, 1989 An Ordinance was presented for second reading that AMEND CH. 21 would amend Chapter 21 to increase the permitted height of a fence in a residential district from five feet to 6 feet. Richard Hendricks, 1537 E. Emmerson Lane, expressed his opposition to this proposal. Staff noted that 20% of the cases heard by the Zoning Board of Appeals are requests for 6 foot high fences and it is their suggestion that the height be increased. There was discussion among the members of the Board noting that many lots in the Village are only 50 feet wide and the image of 6 foot high fences throughout an area would seem to be unsightly. Trustee Wattenberg, seconded by Trustee Floros, moved for passage of Ordinance No. 4028 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 21.601 OF CHAPTER 21 OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Upon roll call: Ayes: None Nays: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Motion failed. ZBA 8-V-89, The Alter Group - Lake Center Plaza An Ordinance was presented for first reading that ZBA 8-V-89 would grant specified variations for the development LAKE CENTER of the light industrial park known as Lake Center PLAZA Plaza. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting these variations, which had been approved last year, however the one year effective period had expired and the Petitioner was required to re-apply. This Ordinance will be presented March 7th for second reading. NEW BUSINESS ZBA 1-V-89, 1613 Rosetree At the request of the Petitioner, this case will ZBA 1-V-89 be heard by the Village Board at the next meeting 1613 ROSETREE on March 7th. ZBA 3-A-89 and ZBA 4-V-89, 420 West Dempster ZBA 3-A-89 Dempster Development Center ZBA 4-V-89 The Petitioner is requesting text amendments DEMPSTER to change the parking space requirements from 10 DEVELOPMENT per thousand square feet of floor area to 5 for CENTER specified uses; to create a parking requirement 420 DEMPSTER for outdoor swimming pools of one space per 75 square feet of water area; and, to allow a maximum building height of 38 feet for a gymnasium building instead of the permitted 24 feet. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting these requests by votes of 7-0. Steve Durlacher, representing the Mount Prospect Park District, stated that these variations are being requested in order to construct the new development center on the existing location. It was explained that the new $8,500,000 facility will have approximately 85,000 square feet and will be located on the 17 acre parcel. Page 3 - February 21, 1989 The existing Code regulations do not address this type of use and therefore it was the recommendation of staff to request a text amendment relative to the parking requirements. Mr. Durlacher explained that a portion of the building will have a height of 38 feet to accommodate an area above the gymnasium. Trustee Farley, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and grant the text amendments requested. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Farley, moved to concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and grant the variation requested. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Ordinances will be presented for first readings on March 7th. ZBA 5-Z, 6-SU, ZBA 5-Z-89, ZBA 6-SU-89, ZBA 7-V-89, 1796 South 7-V-89 Elmhurst Road 1796 ELMHURST RD The Petitioner is requesting rezoning from B-3 to B-4, which is required in order to operate a drive- thru restaurant, a Special Use for a drive-thru operation, and variations to allow a zero foot parking lot setback from the south property line, which abuts a service station, instead of the required l0 feet and a zero foot parking lot setD~ck from Elmhurst Road, instead of the required 30 feet. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting these requests. It was noted that the Petitioner intends to operate a Mr. Beef fast-food restaurant at this location, which was formerly the Waterfall and Kallens Restaurant. A drive-thru facility is permitted under a Special Use permit in a B-4 district only, therefore the Petitioner is requesting B-4 zoning. Also requested are variations to reduce the setbacks for the front and side yards in order to provide for existing parking and the drive-thru window. It was noted that of the 6,800 square foot facility, approximately 5,000 sq. ft. will be utilized for food preparation and consumption and the remaining 1,800 sq.ft, will be utilized as a video store. Members of the Village expressed concern relative to granting B-4 zoning due to the fact that in the event the proposed use failed any use permitted under a B-4 zoning classification could begin operation. It was determined by the Board that should this property cease operation as a restaurant use the Board would consider directing the appropriate Board and/or Commission to review the zoning with the possibility of re-zoning to a different classification. Page 4 - February 21, 1989 Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to concur with the Zoning Board of Appeals and re-zone the subject property with a Special Use permit in order to operate a drive-thru facility, being the subject of ZBA 5-Z-89 and ZBA 6-SU-89. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None "-- Motion carried. Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and grant the variations being the subject of ZBA 7-V-89. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Ordinances will be presented for first reading at the March 7th meeting of the Village Board.
