The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting of the requests by votes of 4-0. Norman Agnes, Attorney for the Petitioner, stated that at the last meeting concerns were raised relative to traffic and the possibility of a park area. Since that time the Ad Hoc Committee assigned to review these subjects have met and the Petitioner requested the Board to give consideration to a revised site plan for this single family home project. The revised site plan presented included a re-alignment of the roadways, therefore eliminating the possibility of traffic using the subject development as a cut-through or high speed area. The detention areas, along with the 3 lots between these detention areas, will be made available to the Village or nother non-profit organization or governmental entity to purchase at a total cost of $125,000 for the 3 lots. The detention areas will be made available at no cost, therefore adding to the size of the park/open space area. These lots, if purchased, are to be used for open space and/or recreational purposes. The offer to purchase will remain in effect until March 31, 1988. By making these lots available the Village will agree to waive the development fee normally required for these 3 lots. Trustee Floros arrived at this point in the meeting. Mike Hertz, 1001Ardyce Lane, expressed his appreciation to the developer and the Village for working out this type of method of acquiring open space in the development. In reponse to a question, Mr. Hertz was assured that Cardinal Lane will be fully improved in conjunction with the Harvest Home Development. Due to the re-alignment of the cul de sacs, the variations requested from the Development Code for minimum lot depth of specific lots located on cul de sacs were amended accordingly. The lots with such variations are: 1, 9, 10, 11, 12,13, 14, 15, 16, 24, 25 and 46. These lots will not be permitted to have encroachments in the required yards.

ZBA 36-Z-87 & ZBA 36-Z-87 & 37-V-87, 1685 W. Imperial Court ZBA 37-V-87 Ordinances were presented for 1st readings that would 1685 IMPERIAL CT rezone the subject property from R-X to I-l, as well as grant variations from the Zoning and Development Codes. The ZoninG Board of Appeals recommended approval by a vote of 5-0. It was explained by the Petitioner that the property was annexed to the Village and therefore assigned the R-X zoninG. The major concerns with the development Page 4 - July 21, 1987 appeared to be the requests ~to ~waive the certain requirements of the Development Code, namely the installation of sidewalks, parkway trees, street lights and to increase the size of the curb cut and a few parking stalls. The Petitioner explained that the subject property is the last lot on a cul de sac and if sidewalks were required they would actually lead nowhere since none of the other businesses have sidewalks. Due to the small amount of land between the curb and property line, the Petitioner felt that trees would not be a benefit. The Petitioner also explained that the proposed curb cut is 2 feet larger than staff recommended (34' instead of 32') due to the fact that large semi-trailers make deliveries and in order to provide adequate maneuvering space, and in an effort to reduce damage to the parkway, the wider size is more desirable. The parking space sizes are larger than recommended by staff on some of the stalls also in an effort to accommodate the large delivery vehicles. It was pointed out by Steve Park, Director of Planning and Zoning, that if the larger size parking stalls are approved it would reduce the size of the side yard. Following discussion, the Petitioner did agree to install street lights and parkway trees. Trustee Van Geem suggested the Petitioner enter into a Covenant with the Village stating that at such time as the Village deems that sidewalks are necessary in this area that the Petitioner would install sidewalks on the subject property. The Petitioner stated that they would enter into such a Covenant. It was the opinion of a majority of the Village Board that as long as the petitioner agreed to install street lights, and parkway trees that the other requests for modifications from the Development code could be granted. The Petitioner requested the Board waive the second readings of the Ordinances in order to begin the construction of the building. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to waive the rule requiring two readings of an Ordinance. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Wattenberg Nays: Van Geem Motion carried. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved for ORD.NO.38~ passage of Ordinance No. 3806 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP WITH RESPECT TO THE ZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTY IN AN I-1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) DISTRICT Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried.

Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. 156 ORD.NO. 3807 Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved for passage of Ordinance No. 3807 AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A VARIATION FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1685 IMPERIAL COURT Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to grant the a modification from the Development Code relative to the installation of street lights. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to waive the requirement to install sidewalks at this time, but to have the Petitioner enter into a Covenant with the Village so that at such time as the Village deems the sidewalks are necessary the Petitioner will install them. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: Floros, Murauskis Motion carried. As to the discussion on the existing parking lot and whether the Petitioner would be required to bring that lot into conformance with Village Codes, it was the consensus of the Board that if the parking lot was damaged during the construction then the improvement would be necessary. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to permit the Petitioner to delay the improvement of the existing parking lot, provided it isn't damaged during construction. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried. Steve Park, Director of Planning and Zoning noted that there are other modifications from the Development Code requested by the Petitioner: Minimum sewer size shall be 4" rather than 6"; storm sewer shall be 8" rather than 12"; Benchmarks shall be eliminated from the subdivision; and, Utilities shall be repaired or replaced only if damaged during construction. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to concur with the recommendation relative to the modifications from the Development Code as stated by Steve Park.

BUSSE RO; Mr. Anthony Di Mucci, Petitioner, presented a request for DEMPSTER modification from the Development Code to permit a 3:1 ALGONQUI~ slope in the detention area instead of the required 6:1. The Plan Commission recommended approving the request by a vote of 6-1. Mr. Di Mucci explained that the existing vacant site will be improved with a shopping center, free standing restaurant and motel. It is the intention of the Petitioner to have a concrete retaining wall in the detention area. All Code requirements will be met if this modification is granted. It was noted by members of the Board and staff and if the Petitioner were to comply with Page 7 - July 21, 1987 158 the slope requirement for the detention pond then the development would not meet the Code as it relates to the number of required parking spaces. Trustee Arthur stated that there is an existing pond type detention area in a development on Golf Road just east of Goebert and if the proposal would be similar to that then he would consider the request.
