Ms. Maxwell read the meeting memorandum and recommended action.
Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions or comments of Staff.
Mr. Sheffer expressed his desire for action items relating to economic development and housing
to be expanded upon with intended steps to reach the goals specified.
Ms. Maxwell stated that she feels the Plan addresses many of Mr. Sheffer’s concerns, albeit not
directly. Ms. Maxwell spoke about how updating the zoning code will open up more
opportunities for businesses and development within Carbondale. Ms. Maxwell stated that the
Economic Development Department is currently undergoing an Economic Development Plan
1
which will have more specific recommendations for that department in regards to attracting
businesses to Carbondale. Ms. Maxwell stated that she believes the Carbondale Community
Housing Not for Profit (CCHNFP) intends to conduct an in depth housing study to address the
housing needs of the City.
Mr. Lenzini discussed the housing issues currently being observed in Carbondale. Mr. Lenzini
discussed the high number of professionals that drive to Carbondale for work but do not live in
Carbondale. Mr. Lenzini discussed changes that could be made to the Title 15 use table to
encourage businesses and lessen the amount of special use hearings and variance cases that
would be needed in regards to individuals bringing their businesses to Carbondale.
Ms. Maxwell explained the reasoning behind the categorization of the Plan’s action items and
goals, stating that some action items may fall under one category while addressing concerns in
other categories as well.
Mr. Brown asked if the items being discussed were included in the Implementation Matrix.
Ms. Maxwell confirmed that the recommendations are included in the Plan at the end and are
summarized within the Implementation Matrix, which details the departments and entities that
will be responsible for implementing the items, and also includes reasonable timelines for the
items to be implemented.
Mr. Love discussed reasons as to why young people and professionals are leaving Carbondale,
siting a lack of activities and entertainment. Mr. Love discussed the potential for revitalization in
Carbondale and stressed the importance of intentional actions.
Mr. Carrier stated that he believes the report provides good direction, as the City’s responsibility
lies mainly in creating policy that will encourage development. Mr. Carrier stated that there is
only so much the City can do, and that while they can lessen barriers to development, ultimately
the developers have to be the ones to decide on coming to Carbondale.
Mr. Lenzini discussed the CCHNFP’s progress and goals in addressing the City’s housing
concerns.
Ms. Litecky asked Ms. Maxwell to address the written comments from Mr. Don Monty in the
next revision of the Plan.
Ms. Litecky asked if any audience members had questions or comments.
Ms. Kimberly Murray, community member and SIU alumni, asked about what policies were in
place to encourage businesses coming to Carbondale.
Mr. Lenzini detailed the City’s efforts with Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) Districts, the
Downtown Code Compliance Grant, and the Enterprise Zone, and provided examples of these
programs helping local businesses. Mr. Lenzini discussed how zoning changes could open up
more options for local businesses.
2
Mr. Carrier discussed how the existing zoning code and zoning map acts as a filter that may
dissuade developers or prospective business owners due to its complexity, and that simplifying
the zoning code and zoning map are goals the City should look to achieve.
Ms. Kathy Jones, retiree of SIU and PLAN Carbondale Steering Committee member, expressed
her contentment with the discussion about simplification and metaphorical cutting of red tape for
development, and questioned the lack of involvement with SIU and SIH in the development of
the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Jones proposed SIU and/or SIH partnering with the City to
subsidize their workers living within Carbondale for a determined amount of time.
Mr. Lenzini discussed that there were stakeholder meetings as part of the development of the
Plan, including individuals with both entities.

Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions of staff.
Ms. Allee asked why the text amendment was proposed and not a rezoning of the parcel.
Mr. Mueller explained that rezoning the parcel would result in spot zoning because the
surrounding area is all zoned as General Agriculture. Mr. Mueller explained that there was a prior
rezoning case that had been denied in the past for the property.
Ms. Allee asked what zone the prior rezoning case proposed to rezone the property.
Mr. Mueller stated the prior rezoning case attempted to rezone the land to General Industrial. Mr.
Mueller further explained that the use category being proposed by the text amendment is not
currently found in Title 15 of the Carbondale Revised Code, so a text amendment to include the
use is needed regardless.
Ms. Allee asked if the category would allow for federal emergency services.
Mr. Mueller stated it could as they are governmental agencies but that isn’t the general intent
behind the text amendment.
Mr. Shukites asked about required setbacks for the location.

to provide additional screening around the location.

Mr. Mueller stated it must be 20 feet wide.
Ms. Litecky asked if there were questions from anyone to anyone.
Christine Lesinski, a Carbondale resident, stepped forward and asked about safety regarding fire
training at the location and whether there was the potential for fire to spread offsite or for smoke
to pollute nearby residential locations.
Mr. Lenzini explained that the City’s fire training facility has been at the location for around 30
years and that his understanding is that MTU-15 will not be doing fire training, and that any fire
training that does occur onsite would be conducted by the Carbondale Fire Department.
Ms. Litecky declared PC 26-02 closed and asked for a motion on the findings of fact.
Mr. Sheffer moved that Part A and B of the staff report, that the applicant was present, that zero
people spoke in favor or opposition to the application, and there were no letters or petitions of
support or opposition for the application to be acceptable as a finding of fact.
Ms. Litecky asked for clarification on voting procedure from Jamie Snyder, City Attorney.
Mr. Snyder, City Attorney, stepped forward and stated that the finding of fact vote was not
required for a text amendment case, and advised the Commission to proceed to a vote of approval.
Ms. Litecky asked for a motion for approval for the text amendment.
Mr. Sheffer moved to recommend City Council approval of PC 26-02, seconded by Ms. Lilly.
Ms. Litecky asked if there was any discussion.
Mr. Shukites voiced his concern regarding the potential for community members to not have an
opportunity to voice their concerns or opinions regarding potential future projects if the text
amendment is passed as written, allowing the proposed use category outright in the General
Agriculture district without requiring a Special Use Permit. Mr. Shukites stated he is in support of
the specific project proposed by MTU-15, but he believes the use should be limited to being
allowed with the approval of a Special Use Permit.

4. Public Hearings/Plan Review
PC 26-09: The City of Carbondale is initiating a Text Amendment to Title 15 of the Carbondale
Revised Code relative to Minimum Surfacing Standards in All R-1, Low Density Residential,
Districts, and all RR, Rural Residential, Districts.
Ms. Litecky declared Public Hearing PC 26-09 open and asked Ms. Gibson to read the staff report.
Ms. Gibson read Part A of the staff report.
Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions for staff
Ms. Allee asked if community members requesting alternative driveway materials were asking for
cost reasons or environmental reasons.
Ms. Gibson stated it was a healthy mix of both reasons.
1
Ms. Litecky asked if the applicant was present and would like to speak.
City staff was present and willing to answer questions. Mr. Lenzini spoke about community
member requests for the amendment and provided history on past driveway and pavement
requirements.
Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions for the applicant.
Ms. Allee asked Mr. Lenzini if he would like information pertaining to the permeable parking lot
located at John A. Logan.
Mr. Lenzini stated he would.
Ms. Litecky asked if anyone would like to speak in favor.
There were none.
Ms. Litecky asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition.

Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions of staff.
There were none.
Ms. Litecky asked if there were questions from anyone to anyone.
Mr. Shukites asked if staff considered including single family residences in the R-2 zoning district
in the text amendment.
Mr. Lenzini stated that staff did not because most properties within the R-2 zoning district are
rental properties, and the amendment was meant to be focused on lessening restrictions for owner-
occupied, single-family residences.
Mr. Monty asked if staff had researched surrounding communities parking standards.
Ms. Gibson stated that she did research other municipalities’ codes of cities of similar size and
demographic to Carbondale, but not necessarily the surrounding communities.
Ms. Litecky declared PC 26-09 closed and opened discussion.
2
Ms. Allee recommended changing the language to specify that pavers being used must be driveway
specific or capable pavers.
Mr. Carrier suggested not specifying what materials are allowed but focus on the end effect has to
be. Mr. Carrier expressed concern about the enforceability of the amendment as currently written
pertaining to maintenance and edging specs. Mr. Carrier stated that subjective reasoning about
appearances should not be used, but rather objective reasoning regarding functionality as a
driveway. Mr. Carrier suggested simplifying the amendment as much as possible to allow gravel
driveways and paver driveways, with no stipulations.
Mr. Sheffer recommended requiring a concrete or asphalt apron between the roadway and any
driveway surface. Mr. Sheffer expressed concern with specifying specific types of rock or gravel
as being allowed or not allowed.
Mr. Shukites recommended keeping an edging requirement in the amendment.
Ms. Allee stated she still feels that the amendment should be specific regarding pavers to prevent
individuals from using improper pavers that cannot handle the weight of a vehicle.
Ms. Gibson stated the language could be updated to specify driveway pavers.
Mr. Sheffer suggested following Mr. Carriers line of reasoning and focusing more on the desired
end effect rather than the specific materials used to create the desired effect of a driveway.
Mr. Sheffer moved that Part A and B of the staff report, that the applicant was present, that zero
people spoke in favor, one person spoke in opposition to the application, and there were no letters
or petitions of support or opposition for the application to be acceptable as a finding of fact,
seconded by Mr. Carrier.
The motion passed with unanimous voice vote.
Ms. Litecky asked for a motion for approval for the text amendment.
Mr. Sheffer moved to recommend City Council approval of PC 26-09 with the condition that the
amendment language specifies that the surface must be able to support the weight of a vehicle and
that the property owner must maintain a clearly defined driveway edge, seconded by Mr. Shukites.
Ms. Litecky asked if there was any discussion.
There was none.

Category: Consent Agenda
Subject: Resolution Approving a TIF Redevelopment Agreement with ZACM, LLC for 231 West
Main Street
Type: Action - Consent
Recommended Action: Approve Resolution Approving TIF Redevelopment Agreement with ZACM, LLC for 231
West Main Street
Goals: Goal 3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality
City services.
Goal 4: Encourage responsible and progressive economic development/tourism/arts
and entertainment.
Goal 8: Update the downtown master plan as a guide to revitalize the City Center.
Originating Department: Economic Development
Background: On December 27, 2012, the City Council approved an ordinance adopting tax increment financing
(TIF) for Illinois-University Corridor TIF #2. This ordinance allows property tax revenue created by new
development within the project area to be held in a special City fund to pay for certain redevelopment expenses.
One use of the “increment” funds is to reimburse private developers for eligible redevelopment project costs. The
State statutes governing TIF specify eligible redevelopment project costs that include property acquisition,
demolition, site preparation, environmental cleanup, remodeling and rehabilitation of existing buildings, and a
portion of interest costs from financing. The cost of new building construction is not an eligible expense. The
reimbursement terms for an individual project are specified in a redevelopment agreement between the City and
the developer.
Attached for consideration by the City Council is a redevelopment agreement between the City and ZACM, LLC for
reimbursement of a portion of the costs to redevelop the property at 231 West Main Street, also known as the
Schwartz building. The subject property is located within TIF #2, and as a result, the developer is eligible to receive
reimbursement through TIF.
Under the terms of the redevelopment agreement, the City will reimburse the developer for eligible costs that are
estimated to total approximately $1,295,000.00, which is the developer’s cost of renovation of the existing
structures. Costs related to any new construction of the property will not be eligible and are not included in this
estimate.
Objectives of the TIF Redevelopment Plan include the reduction or elimination of blighting conditions, enhancing
the real estate tax base, and encouraging private investment in the redevelopment project area. Development of
the subject property, as proposed by ZACM, LLC, represents a substantial contribution to all of these objectives.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager
to enter into an economic development tax increment financing agreement with ZACM, LLC, for a redevelopment
project at 231 West Main Street.

Subject: Ordinance Authorizing a Budget Adjustment in the Amount of $77,350.00 to the Fire
Department's FY 2026 Budget for the Purchase of Seventeen (17) Sets of Turnout Gear
Type: Action - Consent
Recommended Action: Adopt an Ordinance Authorizing a Budget Adjustment to the Fire Department's FY
2027 Budget in the Amount of $77,350.00 and Approve the Purchase of Seventeen
(17) Sets of Turnout Gear
Goals: Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community.
Goal 3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality
City services.
Originating Department: Fire
Background: Lion V-force turnout gear is the proprietary provider of protective gear used by the Fire Department.
Lion has met the manufacturing requirements standards and also surpasses the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 1971 (2018) testing requirements. Lion provides a line of gear that is free of Per and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Gear containing PFAS has been linked to cancer and other serious health
effects. These studies highlight the risks associated with the materials and finishes used in turnout gear, even
before it is exposed to its first fire. Making the change to PFAS-free gear can improve firefighter longevity and
productivity by reducing carcinogen exposure while not losing any functionality or comfort. Ensuring that our
firefighters are in the best equipment for their health and safety is our utmost priority. This purchase would
complete the purchase of one (1) set of PFAS-free gear for each department member, which began a few years
ago.
Recommended Action:
Adopt an Ordinance Authorizing a Budget Adjustment to the Fire Department's FY 2027 Budget in the Amount of
$77,350.00 and Approve the Purchase of Seventeen (17) Sets of Turnout Gear

Subject: Award Purchase of 2019 Forklift to Illinois Lift Equipment in the Amount of $19,999.00
and an Ordinance Declaring 1974 Clark Forklift as Surplus
Type: Action - Consent
Recommended Action: Award the Purchase of a 2019 forklift to Illinois Lift Equipment in the amount of
$19,999.00 and adopt an Ordinance declaring the 1974 Clark Forklift as surplus
Goals: Goal 3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality
City services.
Originating Department: Public Works
Background: In December 2025, the City Garage forklift lift cylinder failed. As the Clark forklift is from 1974, parts
for repairs are not available. When pricing a rebuild of the cylinder, it was quoted at $9,000.00. It seemed more
prudent to explore replacement options due to the age of the current forklift and challenges with locating repair
parts. Funds are available to complete this purchase in FY 2026. This purchase will be spread across three
departmental budgets (40310, 47200, and 47000) as multiple enterprise budgets use the forklift for loading and
unloading shipments.
Section 1-6-13E.7 of the Carbondale Revised Code allows Council to approve any contract for goods, services, or
supplies when it is determined to be in the best interests of the city by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of Council
members present, but at least four (4) votes are required. Staff believes this purchase is in the best interest of the
City because when purchasing used equipment, the bidding process limits the items that may be available. This is
due to the difficulty of timing the City's formal bidding requirements with the purchase of used equipment that
may become available with little notice. Staff has looked at used forklifts and evaluated them since December and
believes this is a very good value.
It is requested that the City Council approve the purchase of a 2019 forklift and declare the 1974 Clark forklift,
serial number 355 2343 2572 37 4, as surplus for disposal.

8A, R-1-5).
Special Uses:

The special use permit is established to provide for those uses which may have a unique,
special, or unusual impact upon the use or enjoyment of neighboring property, and to
provide for those public and quasi-public uses affected with the public interest. Where a
use exists on the effective date of this Chapter, it shall be considered a lawful special use.
Section. 15-6.8.2.C: Procedures
C.1 Hearing: A special use may be permitted by the City Council only after a public
hearing before the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall make
findings of fact; and if the Planning Commission finds that:
(a) The proposed special use will permit and encourage an environment of
sustained desirability and stability, and that it will be in harmony with the character
of the surrounding neighborhood;
(b) The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare;
(c) The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property
in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted nor substantially
diminish and impair property value within the neighborhood;
(d) The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the
district;
(e) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities have
been or are being provided;
(f) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so
designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; and
(g) The special use will be located in a district where such use may be permitted,
and shall conform to all requirements of this Title 15.
C.2. The Planning Commission shall recommend that the City Council approve the
issuance of the zoning certificate for such special use. Otherwise, the Planning
Commission shall recommend that the City Council direct the administrative
official to deny the application. The findings of fact and the recommendation of
the Planning Commission shall be in writing. The City Council decision shall be
3
written to the applicant by the administrative official. (Please refer to the Zoning
Ordinance for additional zoning district regulations.)

PART C. ANALYSIS
The applicant, Corrine Williams, is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow for a Day Care Home
II in an R-1-8, Low Density Residential, zoning district.
The following are staff’s responses to the seven criteria for granting a special use (Section 15-
6.8.2.C):
1. The proposed special use will permit and encourage an environment of sustained
desirability and stability, and that it will be in harmony with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood.
The physical character of the surrounding area and home will be maintained and there will
be no physical changes to the exterior appearance other than the addition of fencing, which
is harmonious to the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, staff finds that this proposed
special use will permit and encourage an environment of sustained desirability and
stability, and that it will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
2. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to
or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare.
A home day care is a regulated residential use subject to applicable state licensing
requirements, including standards related to caregiver qualifications, child-to-staff ratios,
life-safety provisions, sanitation, supervision, and emergency preparedness. Compliance
with these requirements ensures that the operation meets established public health and
safety benchmarks. In addition, the facility must adhere to all applicable building, fire, and
zoning codes, including occupancy limits and safety inspections where required. Based on
the limited scale of the operation, compliance with regulatory requirements, and absence
of identified adverse impacts, staff finds that the establishment, maintenance, and operation
of the proposed home day care will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health,
safety, or general welfare.
3. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted nor substantially diminish and
impair property value within the neighborhood.
The operation of a home day care, at the subject property, will not be injurious to the use
and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood or substantially diminish
neighborhood property values. Noise levels associated with a small number of children
engaged in supervised indoor or outdoor play are not anticipated to exceed what is typical
in a residential neighborhood. Any outdoor activity will occur during daytime hours and
will be subject to supervision and applicable nuisance regulations. The appearance of the
home will not be altered by the operation of the special use and therefore will not change
the character of the neighborhood.
With respect to property values, small-scale home day care operations are generally
5
considered compatible residential uses when properly regulated and maintained. The
continued residential appearance of the structure, compliance with zoning and licensing
standards, and the limited scale of operations support the conclusion that the use will not
substantially diminish or impair surrounding property values. In many cases, access to
neighborhood-based child care services is viewed as an amenity that supports family-
oriented residential areas.
4. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development
and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
The proposed home day care will operate within an existing residence and does not require
rezoning, subdivision, or site reconfiguration that would alter established development
patterns. No variances, expansions of infrastructure capacity, or changes to lot
configuration are proposed that would constrain adjacent property owners from developing
or improving their properties in accordance with permitted district standards.
The scale and operational characteristics of the home day care remain residential in nature
and subordinate to the principal dwelling. The use will not introduce permanent site
features, access limitations, utility demands, or environmental impacts that would restrict
neighboring properties from pursuing permitted residential improvements, including
additions, accessory structures, or redevelopment consistent with zoning regulations.
5. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities have been or are
being provided.
All utilities and public services serving the property are existing and adequate, and no off-
site improvements are required.
6. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed
as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
The subject property and the surrounding areas are designed to provide safe ingress and
egress and minimize traffic congestion. The applicant plans to provide parking in the
driveway of the subject property. Additional parking is available if necessary, on the north
side of the property. Traffic associated with the use is expected to be limited and
concentrated during brief drop-off and pick-up periods, and is not anticipated to burden the
surrounding street network in a manner that would hinder access or cause congestion.
7. The special use will be located in a district where such use may be permitted, and shall
conform to all requirements of this Chapter.
The R-1-8 District allows Day Care Home II as a special use. Granting the special use
would conform to all requirements of this section.
6
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
It is Staff’s opinion that a Day Care Home II is an appropriate and efficient use of the property.
The subject property is located within an established residential neighborhood characterized by
single-family homes and small-scale residential uses. A home day care, by definition, is a
residential-based use that operates within a dwelling and maintains the appearance and function
of a residential property. The proposed use does not involve exterior alterations that would
change the residential character of the structure, nor does it introduce commercial-scale activity
inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Home day cares are commonly considered a compatible accessory or special residential use
because they provide neighborhood-serving services while maintaining the scale, intensity, and
operational characteristics of a dwelling unit. The anticipated number of children, staffing levels,
and hours of operation are limited in scope and consistent with typical residential occupancy
patterns. Traffic generation is expected to be modest and primarily concentrated during short
drop-off and pick-up periods. Based on staff review, the existing street network and driveway
access are adequate to accommodate this activity without adverse impact on neighboring
properties.
Additionally, the provision of local child care services contributes positively to neighborhood
stability by supporting working families and allowing residents to access services within walking
or short driving distance of their homes. Such uses can enhance the livability and long-term
desirability of residential neighborhoods by strengthening community cohesion and supporting
household needs.
PART C. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of PC 26-12.

mainly pertaining to entertainment.
Ms. Litecky declared PC 26-11 closed and asked for a motion on the finding of fact.
Mr. Sheffer moved that Part A and B of the staff report, that the applicant was present, that zero

or petitions of support or opposition for the application to be acceptable as a finding of fact,

Mr. Sheffer moved to recommend City Council approval of PC 26-11 seconded by Mr. Love.
Ms. Litecky asked if there was any discussion.
Mr. Carrier discussed the City moving towards a code that tries to list uses that are excluded or
dissuaded rather than trying to include every possible use in the use table. Mr. Carrier commended
2
staff on their work regarding text amendments and stated he understands that staff and the City are
working within the constraints of the current code the best they can.
Ms. Allee agreed with Mr. Carrier’s sentiment but questioned the legality of an exclusionary code.
Ms. Maxwell explained that the current code is protective in nature by outlining specific uses that
are allowed.
Mr. Carrier stated the proposed text amendment seemed to be a response to Marion’s current mall
revitalization and development projects.
Mr. Steven Mitchell, Economic Development Manager, stepped forward and stated the nature of
the text amendment was to open up more development opportunities in Carbondale and that he
does not see it as being competitive with Marion’s current developments.
Ms. Maxwell explained that the text amendment was initiated because of one use not being
expressed within the use table and then spread to a wider inclusion of uses based on staff input.
Ms. Allee asked why the text amendment was mainly entertainment focused and if staff had
received interest for entertainment uses.
Ms. Maxwell stated that the text amendment originated from discussion on one of the uses and
then staff thought of more entertainment based uses to include so that multiple text amendments
were not required.
Ms. Allee asked if staff thought there were more uses that could be included in the current proposal
or if it was as comprehensive as possible at this time.
Ms. Maxwell stated that it was possible that more uses could be included in the future and
welcomed input from Commissioners.

Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions.
There were none.
Ms. Litecky asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition.
Dr. Matt Geisler stepped forward and spoke in opposition to the application. Dr. Geisler had
written a letter of opposition which was included in the staff report.
Mr. Alan Teska stepped forward and spoke in opposition to the application. Mr. Teska had called
4
and voiced his opposition to Mr. Lenzini, which was included in the staff report in the form of an
email from Mr. Lenzini to Ms. Gibson stating Mr. Teska’s opposition.
Ms. Litecky asked Ms. Gibson to read Part C and Part D of the staff report.
Ms. Gibson read Part C and Part D of the staff report, with a recommendation of approval.
Ms. Litecky asked if the Commissioners had questions of staff.
Mr. Sheffer asked if the Commission should add a clause that the Home Daycare 2 being applied
for be capped at eight children.
Mr. Carrier suggested adding a requirement that the daycare must be in compliance with DCFS,
who have already specified the maximum number of children being cared for as eight.
Mr. Joseph De Mond, Assistant City Attorney, agreed with a clause stating that all DCFS
requirements must be followed would be more agreeable as DCFS has their own requirements
that must be followed and a clause specifying the number of children may be redundant.
Ms. Gibson stated that DCFS has licensed Ms. Williams to care for up to eight children, and that
is the maximum permitted per their standards.
Mr. Carrier asked staff if there was another business at the location.
Ms. Gibson confirmed that there is a current commercial use at the location: a Farmers Insurance
office is on the east side of the property, and that the subject location is on the western side of the
property.
Ms. Love asked if there was still a daycare located across the street from the subject property.
Mr. Lenzini confirmed that Kids’ Corner, ran by the Park District, was across from the subject
property.
Ms. Litecky asked if there were questions from anyone to anyone.
Ms. Allee asked the applicant if she expected all children to be dropped off or picked up at the
same time or if it would be more staggered.
Ms. Williams stated that drop off and pick up times will be staggered.
Mr. Brown asked the Commission if it would be in the Commission’s best interest to require that
the facility not open until the fence is erected surrounding the children’s play yard.
Ms. Litecky stated she assumed that DCFS would not allow the facility to open until their fence
requirement was met.

Ms. Gibson asked Ms. Williams to clarify.
Ms. Williams stated that the fence, gate, and locking mechanism must be installed before her
license is granted and she can open the facility.
Dr. Jane Geisler-Lee stepped forward and asked where children would be playing as she did not
believe there was a front yard.
Ms. Williams stated that there is a yard to the side of the home as well as a concrete patio, and
stated that there will be a sizable fenced in area for the children to play in.
Dr. Geisler-Lee pointed to a photo included in the staff report being shown on the projector screen
and stated she did not believe there was a yard for the children to play in.
Ms. Gibson apologized for not providing better images of the subject location in the staff report
and clarified that the photo shows the western side of the property where the insurance office is
located, and that the play yard will be located on the eastern side of the property.
Ms. Allee stated that one of the photos provided in Exhibit C of the staff report clearly shows a
fenced in yard area. Ms. Allee stated that if DCFS considers the yard adequate for their licensing
purposes that the Commission should also consider it adequate.
Ms. Gibson asked Ms. Williams if she could clarify the DCFS requirements for yard space.
Ms. Williams stated that when the DCFS agent visited her home, she stated the yard was adequate
and that the only addition needed is the previously discussed fence.
Ms. Gibson stated that the Carbondale Revised Code does not include any yard size requirements
pertaining to daycare facilities.
Staff showed the Jackson County Property Tax map aerial imagery of the subject property on the
projector screen.
Mr. Lenzini stepped forward to the projector screen and pointed out the specified yard area on
the map.
Dr. Geisler-Lee again disagreed that there was a yard in the area that Mr. Lenzini pointed out and
stated the area was paved.
Ms. Litecky stepped forward and showed Dr. Geisler-Lee on the Jackson County Property Tax
map aerial imagery where the specified yard is located and stated that the area is grassed.
Dr. Geisler-Lee stated she was opposed to the proposal because she does not believe the yard
space is adequate.
Ms. Allee asked Dr. Geisler-Lee if she opposed the proposal despite the fact that DCFS has
6
inspected the location and stated that the yard space is adequate for the proposed use.
Dr. Geisler-Lee stated she does not believe the yard space is adequately sized for children to play
in.
Ms. Allee asked if Dr. Geisler-Lee worked for DCFS.
Dr. Geisler-Lee stated she does not but that she is a nearby resident of the subject property.
Mr. Love stated that DCFS has very strict guidelines, standards, and licensing requirements that
must be followed, and that there should be no issue if the entity has approved the location.
Mr. Dean Reese asked if DCFS has any accessibility requirements for licensure.
Ms. Williams stated that DCFS requires railings for stairs, which are present, and that if she did
have a child sign up that required a ramp, she would have to install one. Ms. Williams stated that
at this time she does not have any children that require accessibility devices.
Mr. Teska stepped forward and asked Mr. Lenzini if he would be agreeable to a daycare facility
open seven days a week until midnight being next door to his home.
Mr. Lenzini asked Mr. De Mond if he was allowed to answer the question.
Mr. De Mond stated that he was able to provide his opinion as an individual but discouraged him
from making a statement on behalf of the City or his position.
Mr. Lenzini stated that even though the facility is intended to provide care until 12 a.m. he did
not believe that the facility would be disruptive as it is unlikely that children would be outside
playing past 8 p.m.
Mr. Carrier stated that Mr. Teska could ask his opinion.
Mr. Teska asked if Mr. Carrier if he would be agreeable to a daycare facility open seven days a
week until midnight being next door to his home.
Mr. Carrier stated he would be agreeable to it, as he grew up on Glenview Drive and attended a
home daycare in the neighborhood. Mr. Carrier stated without a resource of that nature being
provided within his neighborhood, it would have been very difficult for his mother, who was a
schoolteacher, to tend to many after work needs such as grocery shopping and tending to her
elderly parents.
Mr. Teska asked Mr. Carrier if that facility was open until midnight.
Mr. Carrier stated that he was never picked up that late, but if needed the woman providing the
daycare service would have watched him as long as necessary. Mr. Carrier noted that the children
being cared for were all from the neighborhood and that the facility was a community resource.

Ms. Heidi Teska stepped forward and asked what safeguards the residents of the neighborhood
have to ensure their nightly routines will not be disrupted.
Mr. Lenzini stated the City’s noise ordinance will be applicable to the location and that if the
residents have an issue, they can call the Carbondale Police.
Ms. Teska asked if the proposed daycare facility would be providing care for neighborhood
children or children from outside the neighborhood.
Mr. Brown stated it does not matter if the facility is specific to children within the neighborhood
or not, and that any child that meets the requirements for the care provided could be cared for at
the location. Mr. Brown stated the facility is not going to choose which children get to attend
based on what neighborhood they live in.
Ms. Litecky declared PC 26-12 closed and asked for a motion on the findings of fact.
