Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Joe Donnelly made a motion to approve the

seconded by Keith Youngquist. The minutes were approved 5-0 with Matt Sledz and Chairperson Juracek abstaining
from voting. At 7:31, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-36-02, a request for: 1) Map Amendment; and 2) Plat of
Subdivision. She noted that the request would be Village Board final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that the Subject Property is located on the east side of
Douglas A venue, between Haven Street and Golf Road, and that it contains a single-family residence with related
improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family Residence and is bordered by the Rl district to the
east and single family residential to the north and west (Arlington Heights) and a multifamily development to the
south (Arlington Heights).
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner proposes to rezone the Subject Property from RX to Rl. The RX District
requires a minimum lot size of 17,500 square feet while the Rl District requires 8,125 square feet. The Petitioner
would like to demolish the existing residence and resubdivide the Subject Property into three lots. The proposed lots
would exceed the Rl District's minimum lot size requirements, and the homes would meet the applicable zoning
regulations. She clarified that there was a typo in the Staff Report and reported that the minimum lot width for the RX
district is 75' and 65' for the Rl district. Also, the minimum lot depth for both districts is 125'.
Ms. Connolly reported that the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map designate the Subject Property as
Single-Family Residence. She said that the Petitioner's proposed Map Amendment and Resubdivision are in keeping
with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. In addition, the Petitioner is in the process of
redeveloping the property on the west side of Douglas Avenue, which is located within Arlington Heights. This
development recently completed the Arlington Heights Subdivision process and one of the homes is under
construction.
Other Departments reviewed the case and the Fire Department noted that the proposed homes and site would have to
be constructed according to the Village's regulations, which include but are not limited to the installation of fire

hydrants and fire sprinklers. The Engineering Division had no objections to the rezoning, but noted that the plat
needed minor revisions before it could be signed
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for Map Amendments, which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She said
that the Subject Property is adjacent to existing single-family residences and north of a multi-family development
located in Arlington Heights. The proposed rezoning will be in keeping with the surrounding area. The proposal
meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is compatible with existing properties within the general area of
the Subject Property. The proposal is consistent with the general development trend and meets the Village's
Comprehensive Plan requirements.
Ms. Connolly reviewed the second part of the case and said that the Petitioner seeks to create three lots of record by
subdividing the Subject Property. The proposed plat is part of PZ-36-02, a Map Amendment request. The plat was
prepared in accordance with the Development Code requirements, but required minor modifications before it could be
signed. She said that the Petitioner made the required changes and that the plat complied with Village Code
requirements subject to the plans showing a 100' pavement diameter and that the Petitioner provide a total minimum
easement width of 15' to accommodate the installation and maintenance of the water main along the south property
line of Lot 3.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a recommendation to the
Village Board to approve a Map Amendment and Plat of Resubdivision for the property located at 531 S. Douglas
Avenue, Case No. PZ-36-02. She said that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
The Planning & Zoning Commission asked Ms. Connolly general questions regarding the project and then asked the
Petitioner to present the request.
Larry McKone, 18 W. Mundhank Road, South Barrington, IL, was swom in. He reported that he is in the process of
obtaining a 10' easement on the adjacent property, which belongs to the Arlington Heights Park District. However, if
they could not reach an agreement, he would prepare a plat of correction that would reflect the required 15' easement
entirely on Lot 3. He noted that the cul-de-sac would include a 100' pavement diameter as required by the Village
Code. There was minimal discussion regarding the location of the property and the development of the surrounding
properties.
Ms. Juracek asked if anyone in the audience had questions and as there were none, she closed the hearing at 7:42 pm.
Richard Rogers made a motion that the Village Board approve the proposed Map Amendment and Plat of Subdivision
subject to the cul-de-sac including a 100' pavement diameter and Lot 3 include a 15' (total) easement. Merrill Cotten
seconded the motion. .
