Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Merrill Cotten made a motion to approve the
minutes of the September 25 meeting, seconded by Richard Rogers. The September meeting minutes were approved
4-0, with one abstention by Leo Floros. At 9:25 pm, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No PZ-37-03, a request for a Plat of
Resubdivision.
Ms. Connolly presented the case and said that one of the Subject Properties, 1201 N. Burning Bush Lane is located on
the east side of Burning Bush Lane, between Euclid Avenue and Ivy Lane, and is a vacant lot. She said that the other
Subject Property, 1903 E. Euclid Avenue, is located on the south side of Euclid Avenue, between Burning Bush Lane
and River Road, and currently contains a single-family residence with related improvements. Both properties are
zoned R1 Single Family Residence and are bordered on all sides by the R1 District.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner subdivided 1901 Burning Bush in 1999 and created three lots of record, which
includes 1201 Burning Bush Lane. She said that the Petitioner is seeking to expand the rear yard of 1201 N. Burning
Bush Lane by purchasing a portion of the adjacent property's rear yard. She noted that the depth of the Burning Bush
lot would be increased from 100-feet to 200-feet and that the depth of the Euclid Avenue property would be decreased
from 304.75-feet to 223.45-feet. She said that both properties would meet minimum lot size requirements and that the
Petitioner is not seeking relief from any zoning regulations.
Ms. Connolly stated that the plat under review maintains two lots of record, but changes the size of the lots to create a
larger rear yard for the Burning Bush property. She said that the plat and proposed lots of record comply with
Development Code requirements and the Petitioner is not seeking relief from the Development Code or the Zoning
Ordinance. She said that other Departments have reviewed the plat and found that it was prepared in accordance with
Village Codes. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend that
the Village Board approve the proposed plat of resubdivision for the properties at 1201 Burning Bush Lane and 1903
E. Euclid Avenue, PZ-37-03. She said that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chair Juracek asked if the P&Z had questions of Staff. Richard Rogers asked whether the property at 1903 E. Euclid
was currently on a septic system. Ms. Connolly said that it was, but that the property owner was in the process of
installing sewer improvements. Mr. Rogers stated his concern that the existing septic system would be adversely
impacted if the sewer improvements were not implemented at 1903 E. Euclid before the house was constructed at 1201

Burning Bush Lane.
Zlatka Pavlovic, 190 I'E. Euclid Avenue, was sworn in. She clarified that the correct property owner of 1903 E. Euclid
Avenue was Jim Zentefis and that the neighbors were in the process of tying into/tapping into the sewer. She said that
the permit for sewer improvements to 1903, 1905, and 1907 E. Euclid Avenue is under review and that she is waiting
for MWRD approval before the sewer improvements may begin.
Following several questions regarding the MWRD review process, Jeff Wulbecker, Village Engineer, clarified that
there is no set schedule for the MWRD review and said that construction can begin after the permit is approved.
Mr. Rogers reiterated his concerns regarding the existing septic system and the consequences of the Euclid Avenue
property owner not participating in the sewer improvement project. He said that the land being sold to the Petitioner to
increase the depth of 1201 Burning Bush would limit the operational capability of the septic system. There was
discussion regarding placing conditions of approval on the plat and identifying a mechanism to ensure a house could
not be built at 1201 Burning Bush Lane if the sewer improvements were not made at 1903 E. Euclid Avenue.
Richard Rogers moved to recommend approval of the Zlatka Resubdivision for 1201 Burning Bush Lane and 1903 E.
Euclid Ave., Case No. PZ-37-03, subject to the building permit for 1201 Burning Bush not being issued until the sewer
improvements are made at 1201 Burning Bush Lane. Merrill Cotten seconded the motion.
