The existing shed is 150 so. ft in size and tne proposed addition is 190 sq.ft. which would total 340 sq. ft.

Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Murauskis Nays: Van Geem, Wattenberg Motion failed, due to the fact that 4 affirmative votes are necessary in order to over-ride the Zoning Board of Appeals recommendation. ZBA 63-Z-85 and ZBA 64-V-85, Busse Florist Northwest Hwy. ZBA 63-Z-85 These cases include a request for re-zoning of a portion of ZBA 64-V-85 the subject property from R-2 to B-3. Variations are also BUSSE FLOWERS requested to allow parking and driveway in the required rear and side yards and t allow a 9' x 18-t/2' parking stall rather than the required 9' x 20' space. The Zoning Board of Appeals submitted their recommendation which was a vote of 3-3, therefore denying the requests. Mike Fleming, architect, and Bill Shumway, attorney, presented the case for the petitioner. The Board reviewed the requests, as presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Fleming noted that various changes have been made to the proposed plan, to incorporate suggestions from staff and from members of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The major changes include an increased side yard from the 3' presented to 5', additional landscaping which will be located on the building side of the parking lot for the shopping center/ florist buildings, and a proposal for the service drive to be restricted to northbound traffic only. Mayor Krause requested the petitioner to consider a living fence rather than the 6' board on board fence proposed for the rear yards to the east of the proposed development. The petitioner stated that due to cost and area necessary for evergreens, this might not be possible. Also discussed was the proposed signage for the property. It was noted that a sign plan, indicating location and di- mensions would be incorporated into the ordinance granting variations for the property. Trustee Floros arrived at the meeting at this point in the meeting, 9:00 P.M. Extensive discussion took place on the driveway indicated for the proposed 2 story office building onto Evergreen. Included in the discussion was the proposal for the TIF (tax increment financing) District for that general area. In that plan, consideration has been given to closing Elm Street at Evergreen. Since the development has driveways on Northwest Highway, Elm and Evergreen. It was the opinion of Mayor Krause and Trustees Farley and Murauskis that the driveway on Evergreen should be eliminated from the plan due to the fact that the traffic generated would have an 'impact on the single family neighborhood to the north of the proposed development, and they expressed their opposition to that driveway. Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to grant the re-zoning from R-2 to B-3 as requested in ZBA 63-Z-85. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. The following conditions were suggested to be incorporated in a motion to grant the variations: 1. That the petitioner submit a sign plan indicating the proposed placement of signs along with the dimensions, which plan would be incorporated as an exhibit to the Ordinance; Page 5 of 10 N, ~f~R 5, 1985 ]50 2. That the petitioner investigate the possibility of sharing the driveway of Northwest Highway with the existing real estate company on the south east corner of Northwest Highway and School. If that plan is not feasible, then the petitioner would move the driveway proposed approximately 15 feet to the west; and 3. That a living fence be provided in the rear yards rather than the board on board as proposed. Trustee Wattenberg, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to grant the variations requested in ZBA 64-V-85, subject to the three conditions stated above. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Floros, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: Farley, Murauskis Motion carried. Ordinances will be presented for first readings at the next meeting of the Village Board on November 19th. A Preliminary Plat of Subdivision for property being the subject of ZBA 63-Z-85 and ZBA 64-V-85 was presented, having been reviewed by the Plan Commission.

The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of both cases by a vote of 6-0. The petitioners, Northwest Partners, plan to build one story office buildings totaling 90,000 sq. ft. Discussion took place on the entrance/exits to the development. The proposal calls for an entrance on Elmhurst Road and two on Algonquin Road. One curb cut on Algonquin is proposed for general use and the westerly entrance for delivery and service vehicles. At the recommendation of the Village Board the entrance off Elmhurst Road will have one lane 15' wide for entering traffic and two lanes for exiting. It was also noted that the Village's Development Code regulations must be adhered to, which include the in- stallation of street lights, sidewalks and sewers. The staff noted that IDOT would prefer the lights not be' installed until the entire roadway is provided with lights. Also, the petitioner stated that if they are required to install sidewalks, those sidewalks would be the only ones in the area. It was the opinion of the Village Board that these improvements must be installed as part of the development in order to assure their installation and consistency in enforcement of the Code. The petitioner stated that any heating/cooling units placed on -~. the roof of the buildings will be screened from eye vision. Trustee Farley, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to grant the B-3 zoning requested in ZBA 65-Z-85.
