PZ-16-09, 401 East Kensington Road, Mr. Fangman/Dr. Hsu
Mayor Wilks presented for a second (2nd) reading an ordinance granting a map amendment
to rezone the subject property from Attached Single Family (R2) to Business Office (B1)
District. Mayor Wilks stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by vote of
6-1 to deny the request, and therefore, adoption of the ordinance requires a super majority
vote for approval.
Acting Village Manager/Community Development Director William Cooney provided an
overview of the proposed development relative to the requested map amendment. Included
in the updated information was a recommendation that if the Village Board were to approve
the map amendment, the proposed ordinance be amended to include a condition that would
tie approval of the map amendment to a lease agreement with the Social Security
Administration (SSA) for this property. [If a signed lease with the Social Security
Administration was not entered into within one (1) year of approval of the map amendment
the property would return to (R2) Single-Family Attached zoning.]

Mr. Cooney stated that while the petitioner and other representatives for the proposed project
were in attendance to provide additional information; the petitioner may request deferral on
this matter until the September 1, 2009 Village Board meeting.
Ms. Sara Gensburg, architect, Dr. Robert Hsu, petitioner and Mr. Tom Vincent of Sperry Van
Ness Commercial Real Estate Advisors addressed the Village Board.
Ms. Gensburg stated, since the August 4, 2009 Village Board meeting the petitioner had
received written solicitation from the SSA regarding the property. Ms. Gensburg presented
pictures of recently completed SSA buildings; the buildings illustrate the type of architectural
design that would be constructed at the subject property if selected by the SSA.
Mr. Vincent provided additional information regarding the bid solicitation process for federal
government projects as well as the timeline for this particular SSA project. Bids for this
project must be submitted by September 9th; to be considered the petitioner's bid must
include conditional approval for B1 zoning. The petitioner requests deferral of the second
(2nd)reading of the map amendment until September 1, 2009 at which time a detailed site
plan to include landscaping and building elevations will be presented. Mr. Vincent anticipates
SSA will enter into a lease agreement with the successful bidder by the end of the year.
Dr. Robert Hsu addressed the Village Board in response to questions regarding his other
development projects.
· 2007 Townhome project (subject property) - due to economic downturn, was unable to
secure financing.
· Taiwanese Cultural Center (Rand Road) - project was to be funded by Taiwanese
government; change in Taiwanese regime - funding no longer available.
· If site selected by SSA - petitioner will only work with construction company that has built
other SSA facilities.
· At later date may build small medical office building on remainder of property.
Villaqe Board Comments/Discussion
· Support request for deferral until September 1, 2009 Village Board meeting to allow for
petitioner's presentation:
- detailed site/construction plan including parking [architectural drawings should depict
what exterior of building will look like post construction]
- documentation to support project financing and term of SSA lease agreement
- assurance that exterior architectural design/elevations presented will not be altered
· Recommended conditional approval for zoning change be added to proposed ordinance
prior to September 1st meeting; if petitioner does not have signed lease with SSA within
one year of approval of map amendment, zoning would return to R2 district.
· Draft of cross access agreement
· Requested additional trees be added to landscape plan.
Mr. Vincent stated the standard lease agreement for a SSA building is typically ten (10)
years, and as a tenant rather than the building owner, property taxes are paid. At the
request of the Village Board, Mr. Vincent indicated he will provide available support
documentation for financing and SSA lease terms.
