The minutes were approved 4-0 with Joseph Donnelly abstaining. After hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-14-08, a request to subdivide one lot of record into two lots of records at 215 Westgate Road, at 7:47p.m. Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development, showed an aerial of the existing property with the proposed property line. The existing site condition was a single family home with related improvements. Mr. Simmons said that the Petitioner seeks to subdivide the property into two lots. He presented a chart with requirements and indicated both lots would conform with the R-l Zoning District Bulk Regulations: Rl Single Proposed Proposed Family Existing (north lot) (south lot) Minimum Requirements Minimum Lot Size: 8,125 square 42,047 square 22,840 square 19,126 square feet feet feet feet Minimum Lot Width 65' 165 90' 75.36' Minimum Lot Depth 120' 253' 253' 253' Mr. Simmons stated that after the Staff report was distributed, Staff had discussed a fee in lieu of detention requirement with the Petitioner. This new fee has been with the Village since 2006. Mr. Simmons said for any new building permits for residential or commercial properties, applicants are required to pay a fee in lieu of providing storm water detention on their property. In this proposed subdivision, a fee would be assessed for both lots which total approximately $37,000 for the property lot coverage on the proposed properties. Mr. Simmons stated that the Petitioner is requesting a waiver of this fee. Richard Rogers, Chair Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008 PZ-I1-08 Page 2 Mr. Simmons said the proposed plats have been prepared according to all Village Codes and requirements noted in Sec. 15.304. Based on this, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion: "To approve a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Mannella's Westgate Resubdivision, benefiting the property located at 215 Westgate, Case No. PZ-14-08." Mr. Simmons stated that Staff suggests that the fee in lieu detention not be waived. Chairman Rogers swore in Angelo Mannella, 215 Westgate Road, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Mannella stated that he is building a home for himself. He discussed the cost of detention fee. Chairman Rogers said water detention is a problem in the Village. He said the Village enforces everyone to add additional detention on their property if they are above a certain size to pay a fee. Chairman Rogers stated that the Petitioner has the alternative of providing detention on the property himself or paying the fee. Further discussion continued regarding the detention fee and it was determined that the Planning and Zoning Commission was not voting on the fee. They were voting on whether or not the Petitioner could subdivide the lot. The request for the waiver could be addressed by the Village Board. Leo F10ros asked how the detention fee is calculated. Mr. Simmons said there is a fee schedule in the Village Code. It is based on maximum lot coverage in the zoning district. For R-l, Single Family Residential, the maximum lot coverage is 45 percent. The fee is based off how much lot coverage was on the property, based on the square footage. The Petitioner could potentially cover 9,000 square feet of their lot and the fee is calculated based on this maximum lot coverage. Chairman Rogers said there was a reason why the Petitioner would like to subdivide the property. Mr. Mannella stated that he is going to sell his current home and construct a new home without any stairs. Joseph Donnelly asked about a garage on a property line that he saw when Staff showed an aerial view. Mr. Mannella stated that the garage is no longer there, it is currently a slab. He confirmed that the driveway and slab would be removed. Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at 8:00 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-14-08, a request to Subdivide one lot of record into two lots of record at 215 Westgate Road. Marlys Haaland seconded the motion. UPON ROLL CALL: A YES: Donnelly, Floras, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers, NAYS: NONE Motion was approved 5-0. After hearing two additional cases Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 11: 12 p.m., seconded by Ronald Roberts. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.
