Commissioner Beattie made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist to approve the minutes of the July 24th, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting; the minutes were approved 7-0 with one Commissioner abstaining. After hearing three (3) additional cases, Chairman Donnelly introduced Case PZ -25-14, 13 W. Rand Road and stated the case was Village Board Final. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner for PZ -25-14 is requesting a Conditional Use for a drive-through restaurant, a Variation to the parking lot setback along the west property line, a Special Use to allow an electronic message center (EMC) with a display period of less than thirty (30) seconds, and Sign Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28th, 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Variations to allow an EMC with multiples colors, two menu boards, and increase the allowable sign area for the menu boards for the property at 13 W. Rand Road. Ms. Andrade explained the Subject Property is a located on the north side of Kensington Road, south of W. Rand Road, and contains a vacant commercial building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered to the west, north, and east by B3 Community Shopping and by the RA Single Family Residence to the south. Ms. Andrade further explained the site currently contains a vacant one-story 4,960 sq.ft. building which was formerly occupied by Bakers Square. The Subject Property currently includes an access drive from Kensington Road. The property has access to Rand Road via the adjacent property to the east. Ms. Andrade stated the proposed improvements include demolishing the existing building and constructing a drive-through restaurant with related improvements. The site plan indicates that a 5,311 square foot McDonalds building will be constructed. The proposed improvements will maintain the existing access drives. Ms. Andrade stated per the site plan, parking would be provided on all sides of the building. The proposed restaurant will require fifty-three (53) parking spaces. The Petitioner's proposal will exceed the parking requirements by providing fifty-nine (59) parking spaces. Ms. Andrade further explained the proposed development would maintain the existing parking lot setback along the west property line, which measures approximately five and four fifths (5.8) feet when the Village Code requires a minimum ten (10) foot parking lot setback. The Petitioner is seeking Variation approval to allow the five and four fifths (5.8) foot parking lot setback along the west property line. Ms. Andrade stated the restaurant will include two drive-through ordering lanes at the south end of the building that would taper down to one pick-up lane along the east building elevation. Village Code requires eight (8) stacking spaces for the first window and two (2) stacking spaces for each additional window. The proposed drive-through restaurant will include one drive -up window on the east side of the building. Therefore only eight (8) stacking spaces will be required. The site plan indicates over eight (8) stacking spaces will be provide for the drive -up window which complies with Village Code. Ms. Andrade stated the proposed building elevation plans indicate the building materials will include brick, tile, metal canopies, and corrugated metal along the roof line. Ms. Andrade stated the proposed landscape and photometric plan indicate the proposed plantings and lighting for the site. Both require minor revisions in order to comply with Village Code. She further explained the Petitioner is not seeking relief from the Village's landscape or lighting regulations. Ms. Andrade stated a freestanding sign will be provided at each access drive along with a directional sign. Because the proposed drive-through will include two ordering lanes, two menu boards are proposed, which require Variation approval. Ms. Andrade explained the proposed freestanding sign along Rand Road will include an electronic message center (EMC) with a display period of less than thirty (30) seconds, which requires Special Use approval. Further, the electronic message center would consist of text and graphic(s) on a colored background. The graphic(s) would be an image that correlates with the text being displayed. Since the Village Sign Code requires uniformity in color, appearance, and font, the Petitioner is requesting a Variation to allow an electronic message center consisting of multiple colors. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28`", 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Ms. Andrade further explained the sign area will measure approximately seventy-seven and one half (77.5) square feet when a maximum of seventy-five (75) square feet is permitted. The Petitioner is not seeking a variation request to increase the area of the freestanding sign and will be required to reduce the sign area for the freestanding sign that includes the EMC to a maximum seventy-five (75) square feet. Ms. Andrade stated the menu boards will measure forty-one (41) square feet when a maximum of thirty- two (32) square feet is permitted. The Petitioner is seeking Variation approval to allow forty-one (41) square foot menu boards. Ms. Andrade summarized the standards for a Conditional Use as the following: • The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; • The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; • Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; Ms. Andrade stated per the Petitioner, the proposed improvements will be an investment that will be beneficial rather than diminish or impair property values. The new drive-through restaurant will replace an outdated vacant building and will be consistent with the previous use on the Subject Property. The site currently provides utilities and access. She further explained the proposed improvements will provide all necessary drainage and will maintain the existing access drives from Kensington and Rand Roads. The traffic study reviewed the site to ensure the Subject Property was appropriate for a drive-through establishment and would not have a negative impact on traffic. Ms. Andrade stated, per the Petitioner, the ordering speakers will not be detrimental due to the considerable distance from any residence. The closest residence is located 350 feet away. The ordering speakers will include automatic volume controls, which will adjust the outbound volume based on the outdoor ambient noise levels. The volume will reduce once ambient noise levels naturally decrease at night. The proposed landscaping will aid in buffering the noise. Ms. Andrade stated Staff has reviewed the Petitioner's request for a drive-through restaurant and feels that it meets the standards for a Conditional Use. The development has been designed as to not have a detrimental impact or be injurious. The proposed development will utilize the existing access drives and has been designed to ensure safe and efficient traffic circulation within the site. The ordering speakers will be located away from the residents and will include automatic volume controls and landscaping to buffer the noise. The use as a drive-through restaurant complies with the Comprehensive Plan and will be constructed according to Village Codes. Ms. Andrade summarized the standards for a Variation as the following: • Would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located; • Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and • Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character. Ms. Andrade stated prior to submittal, the Petitioner discussed the proposal with Staff. The site design, including maintaining the existing parking lot setback along the west property line, was determined to be Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28`h, 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair the preferred design from a safety and operations standpoint. Village Staff is supportive of the Variation request to allow the five and four fifths (5.8) foot parking lot setback along the west property line and believes that it would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood as it would be consistent with the existing conditions. Ms. Andrade stated the required findings for Special Use requests as the following: • Protection of public safety and welfare; • Harmony with the scale and architecture of nearby buildings and signs; • Lack of negative impacts on adjacent properties or signs; and • Compliance with other provisions of the Sign Regulations. Ms. Andrade stated per the Petitioner, the Subject Property is set back from the street and has limited visibility to Rand Road. The electronic message center will provide the site with the visibility necessary to make it viable for commercial use. The sign will serve the public convenience by providing sufficient advance notice of McDonald's in order to allow the public to make the traffic movements necessary to enter the site. The electronic message center will be placed near the bottom of the freestanding sign and will be unobtrusive. She further stated, provided the electronic message center complies with the minimum ten (10) second display period before changing, Staff is supportive of the Petitioner's Special Use request to allow an electronic message center with a display period of less than thirty (30) seconds. Additionally, the proposed sign would be consistent with signage located on other commercial properties in the Village. Ms. Andrade summarized the required findings for sign variations as the following: • The sign allowed under code regulations will not reasonably identify the business; • The hardship is created by unique circumstances and not serve as a convenience to the petitioner, and is not created by the person presently having an interest in the sign or property; • The variation will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood; and • The variation will not impair visibility to the adjacent property, increase the danger of traffic problems or endanger the public safety, or alter the essential character of the neighborhood; and be in harmony with the spirit and intent of this Chapter. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner seeking sign Variations to allow an electronic message center including multiple colors and graphics, two menu boards and increase the allowable area for the menu boards. She further stated, per the Petitioner, the Variation request to allow an EMC with multiple colors and graphics is necessary in order to have an effective sign for the Subject Property, which has limited visibility due to the surrounding commercial development. The lot layout and lack of visibility from the Rand Road roadway requires an effective sign. Ms. Andrade stated the Village has approved electronic message centers that consist of text and multi- colored graphics provided the displays comply with the Village Sign Code's design guidelines, which call for architecturally pleasing signs legible signs. Staff recommends adding conditions of approval limiting the number of graphics to two (2) and area occupied by graphics up to twenty five (25) percent of the overall electronic message center area. Regarding the text, Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring any text displayed to be single uniform in color. These conditions of approval would be consistent with recent approvals for Northwest Assembly of God (PZ -16-12), Culvers (PZ -06-14), and Langostino's Seafood Restaurant (PZ -19-14). Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28`x', 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Ms. Andrade stated regarding the number and size of menu boards, the Petitioner states the second menu board is warranted as the proposed drive-through restaurant will include two ordering lanes versus a typical drive-through restaurant with only one. Staff is supportive of the Variation request to allow the second menu board. The menu boards will be located at the back of the building, which will be significantly setback from adjacent properties. Further, the Village previously supported a variation allowing two menu boards for Chick-fil-A in 2011 (PZ -13-11). Ms. Andrade addressed the size of the menu board and stated per the Petitioner, the larger size is necessary in order to convey the variety of menu options in a legible way and allow for easy changes of menu items as the menu changes during the day. The Petitioner points out that the menu board cabinets include mechanical areas that do not convey any information but are calculated in the sign area. The menu boards would comply if the mechanical areas of the sign where not included. Ms. Andrade stated that Staff is supportive of the second menu board and larger menu boards. The menu boards would be located internally to the property and would not be detrimental to the surrounding properties. The Village has previously approved variations for larger menu boards. The Village granted a variation allowing a thirty-five (35) square foot menu board for Panera (PZ -22-11). This year, the Village granted a Variation allowing a forty-six (46) square foot menu board for Culvers (PZ -06-14). Ms. Andrade stated based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the following motions: "To approve: 1) A Conditional Use to operate a drive-through restaurant; and 2) A Variation to allow a five and four fifths (5.8) foot parking lot setback along the west property line, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report: The Village Board's decision is final for these motions. She further stated based on the Staff's review of the signs, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following motion: "To approve: 1) A Special Use to allow an electronic message center with a display period of less than thirty (30) seconds, 2) A Variation to allow an electronic message center with multiple colors, 3) A Variation to allow two (2) menu boards; and 4) A Variation to allow menu boards measuring forty-one (41) square feet in area, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report The Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is final for the sign requests. Commissioner Youngquist asked if Staff had any issues with the drive access into the Subject Property from Rand Road. Ms. Andrade stated that Staff did review that same concern with the Petitioner. She further explained the Petitioner decided to continue with the current design. Mr. Simmons stated that Public Works had some minor revisions regarding the stripping and exiting of the site which would assist with channelizing traffic exiting the property. Chairman Donnelly swore in James Olguin from the law firm of Goldstine, Skrodzki, Russian, Nemec and Hoff, 835 McClintock Drive Burr Ridge, Illinois. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28`", 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Mr. Olguin stated they are looking to relocate the current McDonalds on Rand Road across the street to the Subject Property. He further explained the current McDonalds is the oldest company owned store in the region. Mr. Olguin stated McDonalds wants to reinvest in the community by building the newest design available but believes logistically it wouldn't be feasible at the current location. Mr. Olguin stated the Subject Property provides the space needed in order to construct a new building with a dual drive through. He further explained that majority of the requests are based on the existing conditions at the Subject Property and technical items such as the menu boards. Mr. Olguin explained the oversized menu boards are designed to be able to rotate between breakfast and lunch items. He further stated, even though the space is ideal for the restaurant there are some challenges they need to overcome. Mr. Olguin explained there are some issues with visibility along Rand Road; because of the visibility issue they are proposing an electronic message center in order to give customers enough time to make traffic adjustments in order to enter the site. Mr. Olguin introduced Dan Olson to discuss the landscape plan. Chairman Donnelly swore in Dan Olson 2631 Ginger Woods Aurora, Illinois; Dan Brinkman, 8504 Sage Drive Vernon Hills, Illinois. Mr. Olson stated that they plan to maintain the existing driveways into and out of the site, but will change the traffic circulation onsite to create a one way counter -clockwise traffic circulation which is the best way to function with the drive through and to make traffic flow safely on and off the site. Mr. Olson stated there are going to be fifty-nine (59) parking spaces and thirteen (13) staking spaces. He stated they are redoing the parking lot for logistical reasons but keeping the setback along the west side of the property. He further explained the sidewalk, access from both Kensington and Rand Roads will be redone. Mr. Olson stated the side by side drive through system is newest design and works the best with dual ordering lanes that merge into one pay and pickup window. Branding elements will be placed in the drive through to draw customers to it. Mr. Olson further explained the canopies in the drive through have a built in speaker system for sending and receiving orders that are equipped with auto volume control which detects ambient noise and will adjust the volume as needed. Mr. Olson further stated a masonry trash corral would be provided on site to house the trash and recycling containers and shield them from view. He stated they are willing to make the changes to the lighting and landscaping plans to accommodate Staffs recommendations and comply with code. Mr. Olson stated that McDonalds has an extensive landscaping plan for the perimeter of the site and along the drive through which will shield it from the residential neighbors. Mr. Olson stated they are proposing a rain garden on the southern part of the site. The rain garden will aide in not only aesthetics but remove pollutants from the water before it is moved into the detention pond. Mr. Olson stated McDonald's uses only LED lights in all of the fixtures on site, and will adjust the plans in order to comply with the code. Mr. Olguin stated they are very proud of the design and materials that would be used for the project and look forward to contributing to the community. Commissioner Youngquist asked what the percentage that uses the drive through is. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 281h, 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Mr. Olguin stated that typically around 70% of the business is done at the drive through. Commissioner Beattie asked how many customers they could serve at any given time. Mr. Olguin stated they had their traffic engineer look at the site especially at the Kensington access. He explained the significant majority of the customers are already on the road and not necessarily getting in their cars just to go to McDonalds. He further stated they are aware the close proximity Prospect High School is to the Subject Property and believe the sidewalk improvements off of Kensington will help create another entry point for customers onto the site. Mr. Brinkman discussed the traffic study that he conducted on the Subject Property. He stated he studied the morning and evening peak hours and because of the proximity to the high school he also studied midday hours as well. He explained the majority of customers during the peak hours are coming from traffic that is already on the road. Mr. Brinkman stated that the Kensington access would be the busiest during the midday. He stated students are already visiting the existing location during the midday peak hours and if anything the new location will prevent them navigating the Kensington/83/Rand intersection. Mr. Brinkman stated the double drive through has proven to speed the ordering process along with which will help cut down on traffic backing up on the site. There was general discussion regarding the efficiency of the one way traffic circulation and the amount of stacking spaces that will be available on the site. Commissioner Mizwicki asked what the expected increase in use would be at the new site. Mr. Brinkman stated there wouldn't be a dramatic change in the amount of customers to the site because McDonalds isn't typically a destination rather than a stop from the flow of traffic. There was general discussion between the board and the Petitioner about what would happen to the existing site. Mr. Olguin stated he wasn't sure if it would be knocked down or sold to another company. Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any further questions for the Petitioner, hearing none he opened the public portion of the meeting and swore in Marty Thomas 718 N. Pine Street Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Thomas asked if the McDonalds would be open 24 hours, and expressed his concern about the increased amount of traffic on side roads because of the long light at Rand and Route 83. Mr. Thomas also stated he was concerned about the noise level from the menu boards. Chairman Donnelly asked Staff if there is a limit on the business hours. Mr. Simmons stated the Zoning Code doesn't regulate hours of operation, the only limited hours would be for outdoor dining establishments. Chairman Donnelly asked Staff if they had any complaints from the residents across from Panera Bread regarding noise levels from the menu boards. Mr. Simmons stated they have not, and per the Petitioner the volume would be controlled based on the noise levels outside. Chairman Donnelly stated there shouldn't be any problems with noise levels. Mr. Thomas stated he was also concerned that littering will be increased down the side streets. Chairman Donnelly swore in Earnest Johnson 717 N. Pine Street Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Johnson stated the he was also concerned about the increased amount of garbage. Chairman Donnelly swore in Maryann Blyn 615 N. Pine Street. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28th, 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Ms. Blyn asked where the trucks will be entering the site to drop off deliveries; she further stated her concerns about the increased traffic on Kensington. Chairman Donnelly swore in Richard Newmann 712 N. Pine Street Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Newmann stated he was concerned about the lighting on the property. He stated he could see the lighting from the current location from his home. Chairman Donnelly stated the lighting at the current site is not up to code and will be considerably dimmer on the new site. Commissioner Youngquist stated the new lighting would be full cut off fixtures and will not allow light to spill over off the property. Chairman Donnelly swore in Ken Bowman 613 Pine Street Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Bowman stated he is concerned about the traffic cutting through the residential neighborhood. Chairman Donnelly stated there are three (3) ways traffic can cut through in order to avoid the intersection including this property and the adjacent lots. He further explained the McDonalds cut through is the least effective and would likely not happen that often. Commissioner Beattie the same issue would arise no matter what tenant occupies the Subject Property. There was general discussion between the board and Mr. Bowman regarding the speed and amount of traffic on Pine Street. Chairman Donnelly swore in Joe Iacovo the owner of Cafe X-Presso located in front of the Subject Property. Mr. Iacovo stated that he felt placing a McDonalds next to his coffee shop would be injurious to his business. Mr. Iacovo stated from January to April 2014 there were eight (8) accidents at 1 W. Rand Road and that about twenty-two (22) in 2012. He is concerned that the accident rate will increase because of the increased amount of cars. Commissioner Beattie stated that the traffic that would be going through the new McDonalds would be roughly the same as the amount of traffic going through the current McDonalds. Chairman Donnelly swore in Patricia Thomas 718 N. Pine Street. She stated she feels the amount of business would increase because the building is brand new. Commissioner Youngquist stated that McDonalds does this all the time and doesn't except to see a significant influx because of the new building. Chairman Donnelly asked the Petitioner to address the various concerns of the citizens. Mr. Olguin stated the current location is a 24 hour operation and would expect it to stay that way. He also stated it was corporate owned. Mr. Olson stated that the delivery trucks would be entering from Rand Road and would take up one of the drive through lanes in order to unload the product. Commissioner Filippone asked what the delivery hours would be. Mr. Olson stated he didn't know for this particular site, however it would be a couple of times a week during an off peak time. Chairman Donnelly asked Mr. Brinkman to discuss the traffic concerns. Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting- August 28"', 2014 PZ -25-14 Joseph Donnelly, Chair Mr. Brinkman stated he would have to research the crash reports for the individual accidents Mr. Iacovo brought up. He stated they all may not have been involving drive through incidents. He further stated he didn't think they would see a significant increase in accidents at the intersection but it would be impossible for him to say there wouldn't be any due to the increase in activity. Mr. Brinkman stated that he was surprised that the amount of cars making a left out of the current site was almost the same as the amount of cars making a right. Mr. Brinkman stated there wasn't much that could be done to help slow the traffic going down Pine Street. It is unfortunately the awkwardness of the intersection at Kensington/Rand/83 that makes this problem exist. Commissioner Filippone asked what the construction time line would be for the project and where construction vehicles would be accessing the site. Mr. Oguin stated that it would be about ninety (90) days and they would use both access drives for materials being delivered. Mr. Bowman asked if a left turn bay off of Kensington was proposed. Mr. Simmons stated that there is not enough right-of-way area to have a dedicated left turn bay turn into the drive. Commissioner Otteman stated because of the proximity of the subdivision to Kensington residents will have to expect some traffic because of the businesses off of Kensington. Chairman Donnelly swore in Allen Ipjian 617 N. Pine. Mr. Ipjian asked how would customers exit the site to continue going Northwest onto Rand. Commissioner Fitzgerald stated McDonalds would probably lose the business going northwest on Rand and pick up business from the cars going south. There was general discussion regarding the nature of traffic in the adjacent subdivision and vehicles cutting through this area. The Commission recommended any concerned citizens to discuss these items with the Village Board if additional measures to calm traffic were necessary. Chairman Donnelly closed the public portion of the hearing. Commissioner Beattie made the following motion seconded by Commissioner Otteman "To approve: 1) A Variation to allow a five and four fifths (5.8) foot parking lot setback along the west property line, subject to the following conditions: a.
