Vice Chairperson Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve
the minutes of the November 21 meeting, seconded by Keith Youngquist. The November meeting minutes were
approved 5-0, with one abstention by Joseph Donnelly. At 7:41, Mr. Rogers introduced Case No. PZ-34-02, a request
for rezoning and resubdivision and said the case would be Village Board final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, said the subject property is located on the west side of Rand Road, at the intersection
of Rand Road and Louis Street. It includes three lots of record that consist of two vacant lots and a commercial lot,
which contains a hair salon and parking lot. She said that the vacant lots were recently rezoned and granted
conditional use approval to allow the construction of a 20-unit townhome planned unit development. As part of the
project, a parking lot will be constructed to serve the existing commercial use directly north of the town, home
development. In order to construct the parking lot, a portion of the land recently rezoned for townhomes needs to be
rezoned to commercial. Also, the property line has to be changed so the parking lot is consolidated with the existing
commercial property, which is the hair salon.
Ms. Connolly presented the site plan for the townhomes that was approved by the Village Board in August 2002. She
said that the parking lot labeled "Outlot A" is part of the land rezoned to R2 Attached Single Family Residence
Planned Unit Development. She said that in order to comply with Village Codes, "Outlot A" must be rezoned from R2
to B3 Community Shopping and that the property line has to be changed so the parking lot is 'merged' with the hair
salon property. Ms. Connolly noted that relief from zoning bulk regulations was granted as part of the original PUD
approval. The proposed rezoning and plat ofresubdivision will result in two new lots of record. The plat and new lots
comply with development code requirements and the petitioner is not seeking any relief from Village regulations.

Ms. Connolly said that the proposed rezoning was required as part of an earlier project approval granted by the Village
Board. She said that the plat of resubdivision is complete and has been prepared in accordance with the Development
Code requirements. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the rezoning and resubdivision of the Tenuta
Subdivision for the properties located at 705-791 E. Rand Road, Case No. PZ-34-02. The Village Board's decision is
final for this case.
Vice Chairman Rogers asked if the petitioner was in the audience and if they wanted to address the Commission.
Richard Valentino, attorney for Insignia Homes and the petitioner, was sworn in. He said that the proposal to rezone
and resubdivide the properties was required by the Village Board. He said that he would answer any questions from
the Planning & Zoning Commission.
There was a brief discussion among the Commissioners and Mr. Rogers closed the public hearing at 8:00.
Leo Floros moved to approve rezoning the property as requested at 705-791 E. Rand Road, Case No. PZ-34-02.
Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion.
