Mayor Wilks presented PZ-12-06, 888 East Northwest Highway, 1st reading of an
ordinance amending ordinance 3797 granting a conditional use to allow an animal
hospital on the property. Mayor Wilks noted the ordinance requires a super
majority vote for approval as the Planning and Zoning Commission had
recommended denial by a vote of 6-0 at their June 22, 2006 meeting.
Before moving forward on PZ-12-06 there was a recommendation from the
Village Board to approve the following text amendment to the ordinance being
considered.
An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 3797 Granting a Conditional Use for
Property Located at 888 East Northwest Highway
to read
An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 3797 Granting a Conditional Use for
Animal Hospital Located at 888 East Northwest Highway
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve the text
amendment to the proposed ordinance as presented.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Zadel
Nays: None
Motion carried.
Community Development Director William Cooney provided background
information on the petitioner's request for a conditional use for the subject project.
Mr. Cooney stated that since the June 22, 2006 Planning and Commission
meeting the petitioner, Dr. Dreesen, had withdrawn the request for a variation with
an offer to execute a covenant which will ensure that the remote parking lot will
remain for the required off-street parking for the subject property, and for the
limitation of examination room usage. Mr. Cooney stated Village staff
recommend approval of the ordinance and covenant.
Mr. David Buckley, attorney for the petitioner, stated that while the parties agreed
to the amended ordinance thefe was concern with item No. 3 of the covenant; no
less than two (2) of the four (4) veterinary examination rooms may be used for
any purpose other than storage.
Mr. Buckley stated the current language, which is intended to limit the number of
examination rooms to two (2), also restricts the use of the remaining two (2)
examination rooms for storage use only. Noting that the attorney for Dr. Ruffolo
had not reviewed the covenant, Mr. Buckley did indicate that if item No. 3 were
revised to read; No more than two (2) of those rooms may be used as
examination rooms, the petitioner and Dr. Ruffolo would find the terms of the
covenant funning with the land acceptable.
In response to a question from the Village Board regarding parking needs for the
animal hospital while he was in practice, Dr. Dreesen stated that at no time during
his years of practice dating back to the 1960's was there ever a need to use the
parking lot. The on-street parking available on George Street and Northwest
Highway was always more than adequate.
