1. Continued Public Hearing – Petition by Brad Coppens, applicant, and Brian
Scholle and Sheela Prahlad, owners, for approval of a Special Use Permit for a
Video Gaming Establishment in the “GC” General Commercial District for property
located at 850-852 S. 4th St.
Brad Coppens, 13 Meadow Trail West, went through a presentation and pointed
out the only school crosswalk is located on East Taylor St. and South 4th St. He
said the children do not cross the street anywhere near the proposed Maisy’s on
the subject site. He said that they removed the “video gaming & slots” reference
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 8, 2018

from the proposed wall sign. Mr. Coppens commented that they can only have
five video gaming machines so he does not anticipate the parking to be a problem.
He said they will not be advertising alcohol sales, because it’s not a big part of the
operation and only doing it because it’s required by state law. He said they will put
a solid fence around the garbage dumpster and went over the floorplan. He said
the south side of DeKalb has no other “video gaming cafes”. Mr. Coppens said
they have adjusted the alcohol service hours to 10:00 am per the Commission’s
request. He finally commented how the use will meet many of the economic
development goals of the City Council including adding jobs, filling an empty tenant
space, and producing video gaming revenues.
Mr. Olson went over the staff report dated August 3, 2018 that was updated from
the report at the July 5th hearing. He commented that one of the conditions of the
liquor license issued to the applicant by the City was getting a special use permit.
He said since the hearing on July 5th, the Police Department has provided data
regarding calls for service at the seven existing video gaming establishments in
the City. Mr. Olson noted that based upon the data, the Police Chief has stated
there is no significant demand for public safety resources or crime concerns related
to the existing video gaming establishments. Mr. Olson went over the changes the
applicant made to the wall sign, summarized the findings of fact and noted the
citizen responses received. He noted an e-mail was received from the employees
at State Farm on the subject site noting there is not much activity from the children
on the property or walking by. He said since the hearing they received an e-mail
from Rich Kakkuri of 418 Culver St. who was opposed to the project. In conclusion,
Mr. Olson said that the petitioners meet the standards of a special use and there
is a sample motion for approval in the staff report.
Chair Doe opened up the public portion of the hearing. She read into the record
the two new emails from the State Farm office on the subject site and from Rich
Kakkuri of 418 Culver St.
Jamie Craven, Superintendent from the DeKalb School District, spoke about the
District’s concerns related to the proximity of the proposed use to Founders
Elementary School, Huntley Middle School and the day care centers and noted
there is high foot traffic from students in the area.
Bessie Chronopoulos, of 423 Gayle Ave., stated she wanted to express what was
said in the e-mail from Rich Kakkuri. She said she understands the need to fill a
tenant space, however she has concerns about the location because of the vicinity
to the school and residential areas. Ms. Chronopoulos said she would like that
whole area be looked at for redevelopment and feels the City should try for quality
businesses not just to fill a building tenant space.
Chair Doe asked if anyone else wanted to speak, there was none.

Chair Doe asked Mr. Coppens if the employees will be trained to know and handle
when someone has had too much to drink. Mr. Coppens responded that he has
passed the course required by the City as well as a couple other people that will
be working at the establishment. Mr. Coppens mentioned data shows that over
50% of the people that use these types of facilities are women and are over 50
years of age.
Chair Doe closed the public portion of the hearing and gave the Commissioners
an opportunity to ask any questions. Mr. Maxwell asked what type of liquor will be
served. Mr. Coppens responded beer and wine. Ms. Buckley asked Mr. Coppens
what quantity of alcohol he thinks will be served and asked about parking. Mr.
Coppens said he asked Suzi’s (video gaming establishment at Barber Greene Rd.
and Sycamore Road) how much they serve, and they said less than 20 beers a
day. He said he would not be any different than Suzi’s. Brian Scholle, owner of
the property, responded they have not had any parking issues with past tenants at
the building and do not expect any with the video gaming user. Mr. Olson
responded that the number of parking spaces required per the UDO is 11 and they
have 14 spaces on-site, so there is adequate parking. Mr. Castro asked Mr. Olson
about the minimum distance from the school for liquor sales. Mr. Olson responded
that the day care centers do not qualify as a “school”, under the state law. He
added the state requirement for schools (from liquor sales) is a minimum of 100
feet and the subject site is 120 feet away from Founders Elementary School. Mr.
Maxwell asked about the projected revenues. Mr. Coppens responded that the
use will generate approximately $20,000 per year to the City.
Chair Doe gave one more opportunity for the public to speak. There was none,
and the hearing was closed at 6:44 pm.
Ms. Buckley mentioned her work place is next to Suzi’s (Barber Greene Rd. and
Sycamore Road) and there aren’t that many people that go in there, and they have
no parking issues. Mr. Maxwell noted he didn’t think it would be very busy at the
subject property either as far as traffic. Ms. Barbe stated she is still concerned
about the proximity of the proposed video gaming establishment to the residential
areas. She added she agrees with the need to bring businesses to the S. 4th St.
corridor, but has concerns about the proposed use. She said she doesn’t have a
better idea. Mr. Castro mentioned since there is an absence of an economic plan
along S. 4th St., there is no context on the review of the request. He added he
does not object to gambling and technically the proposed special use meets the
standards, however the City seems to be at capacity for video gaming. Mr.
Maxwell commented that S. 4th St. has been an issue for many years and doesn’t
think the video gaming establishment will attract nearly the volume of cliental that
people are anticipating. Chair Doe reminded the audience that the Commission
does not have the final decision on this, as they make a recommendation to the
City Council who has the final say. Mr. Castro commented that he is a strong
proponent that the City come up with a Comprehensive Plan for the corridor before
redevelopment occurs and it should be well thought out and have professional
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 8, 2018
Page 4 of 10
input. Mr. Maxwell agreed with Mr. Castro, but in the meantime, he feels it’s
irresponsible to leave it dormant. Ms. Barbe stated she also agrees with having a
Comprehensive Plan for the area.
Ms. Buckley made a motion based upon the submitted petition and testimony
presented that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact
and recommend to the City Council approval of a Special Use Permit for a Video
Gaming Establishment at the subject site per the conditions as indicated on Exhibit
A in the staff report. Seconded by Mr. Maxwell.
A roll call vote was taken. Ms. Barbe – yes, Ms. Buckley – yes, Mr. Castro – no,
Mr. Maxwell – yes, Chair Doe – no. Motion passes 3-2-2. Ms. Nier and Mr. Wright
were absent.
2. Continued Public Hearing – Petition by Northern Illinois Hotels, LLC,
represented by Pramit Patel, and Elmer Larson Inc., owner, for approval of zoning
map amendment from the “LC” Light Commercial District to the “PD-C” Planned
Development Commercial District and approval of a Planned Development Plan
for a 2.87 acre site located at the southwest corner of Knolls Ave. S. and S. Annie
Glidden Road. Proposed is 90-room Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel and associated
improvements.
Chair Doe reminded everyone what the Commission is reviewing, which is a
zoning map amendment and approval of a development plan.
The applicant, Pramit Patel, mentioned that he has been in the hotel business for
15 years and went over why they chose this site which came down to size, price
and location. He noted the site is ready for development and Hilton Hotels
approved the location. He said they looked at the vacant lot in front of the
Schnuck’s to the south along Annie Glidden Road, but it was too small. He said
the former Travel Inn site along W. Lincoln Highway was too expensive. Mr. Patel
provided some property value statistics from RVG Commercial that showed that
the home values in the neighborhood have not gone down since the construction
of the adjacent Hampton Inn Hotel. Mr. Patel talked about the Standards of
Rezoning and the Standards of Planned Development in the UDO and how the
proposed project is meeting them. He said they did a traffic study and no traffic
light is warranted at the Knolls Ave. S. and S. Annie Glidden Rd. intersection. He
added the school district, park district and police department do not have any
concerns about the intersection or the project. He mentioned that other permitted
uses in the “LC” District would generate more traffic than the hotel use. Mr. Patel
said they have made changes to the landscaping and site plan per staff comments.
He said the hotel project will help the school district in relation to additional property
taxes and will create about 30 jobs. He said they are not asking for any TIF money
or tax abatements from the City.

Mr. Olson went through the updated Staff Report dated August 3, 2018. He went
over the Hotel Market Feasibility Study (dated January 2018) which states a hotel
of the proposed size and location is supported and added the City has heard from
NIU and other business that there is a need for this type of hotel in the DeKalb
area. He noted City staff and the City Engineer have reviewed the updated plans
and there are just minor comments remaining. Mr. Olson noted there have been
a lot of comments and questions about the hotel site selection and said the
Commission should focus on the subject site and whether it meets the standards
or not for a rezoning and planned development. He said there was a traffic study
done in March and a traffic signal was not warranted at the Annie Glidden Road
and Knolls Ave. S. intersection. He added that the study showed the access to the
hotel was adequate and accident data received from the Police Department
concluded there is not a safety issue with the intersection. The DeKalb School
District was contacted regarding the bus schedule and there were very little
concerns about wait time at the intersection. Mr. Olson added that the Police Dept.
provided a Calls for Service report for the Hampton Inn Hotel and Police Chief
Lowery stated there is little demand for service regarding the Hampton Inn that is
criminal in nature. Mr. Olson said with a planned development, video cameras
with Police Dept. access can be required and is part of the recommendation. He
commented that the applicant reviewed the Standards of Rezoning and for a
Planned Development and provided testimony that they met the criteria. He said
the applicant provided a report on the property values and they have gone up in
that area since the Hampton Inn has opened. Mr. Olson went over the citizen
responses that are part of the record. He stated staff’s recommendation is to
recommend approval per the standards in Exhibit A of the staff report and subject
to the staff comments in Exhibit B of the report, which have been updated (dated
8-8-18).
Chair Doe opened the floor for public comments. She read the three letters/e-
mails that were recently received regarding the request: DeKalb Park District letter
dated 8-3-18, Candi Flood e-mail dated 8-8-18 and Steve Noffsinger e-mail dated
8-8-18.
Steven Brown of 1231 Mason St. mentioned he feels the hotel should be at a
different site that has better access to businesses and restaurants. He said when
there is an event going on at the NIU there is a lot of traffic along S. Annie Glidden
Road. Mr. Brown added the proposed hotel is very different than the adjacent
Hampton Inn and is an extended stay hotel and there will be people staying much
longer. He stated the hotel is too tall for the neighborhood and has concerns about
the future construction of the hotel and that it will be too close to homes and the
heavy equipment will damage the streets. He also noted that the property values
of the homes would be more if the Hampton Inn wasn’t constructed.
Jill Skinner of 1279 Mason St. said she feels light commercial zoning should result
in something a lot smaller in size than the proposed hotel. She stated the reason
it was zoned light commercial years ago was because it was near a residential
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 8, 2018
Page 6 of 10
subdivision. She stated most residents would envision light commercial zoning as
a one-story building with regular 9-5 hours with uses such as a dry cleaners and
offices. She said because it was vacant for 20 years, doesn’t mean development
wasn’t proposed for the site before. She continued by saying the waivers for the
building height and 50 foot buffer on the west side of the site are not warranted
and the site is not in compliance with UDO and Comprehensive Plan. She added
that traffic is difficult at times to get in and out of the Knolls Subdivision onto Annie
Glidden Rd. Ms. Skinner commented that the Hampton Inn has a natural buffer to
the houses to the west, however the proposed hotel will not. She feels the
applicant has not met their burden of proof on why this should be rezoned to a
planned development, so she would like to see the petition denied. Mr. Olson
clarified the Light Commercial district definition and noted the list of permitted and
special uses in the LC District, which were provided to the Commission. He
followed up to Ms. Skinner’s comments that the LC District is intended along
collector streets, which Annie Glidden Road is. Mr. Olson noted that the 45’ height
maximum in the LC District is for all the uses, not just for a hotel. He noted again
that a traffic study was conducted and reviewed by the City Engineer and a light is
not warranted at Knolls Ave. S. and Annie Glidden Road. Mr. Olson added the
variance for the height is only for the parapet and to screen roof-top equipment.
He added there has been no serious interest in development on the site or it would
have been developed. He also commented there will be a lot of big events at NIU
and a lot of other intersections in the City will be busy during that time as well, but
we don’t base road improvements on a few special events per year.
Dawn Flippin, 601 Larson Lane, stated she has a lot of the same concerns as the
previous speakers. She is worried about how much more blacktop will be added
to the land near the site and how much more water will have to go somewhere else
instead of the wetlands. She said she is also concerned about the traffic coming
out of the Knolls Subdivision. She said this hotel does not fit with the
neighborhood.
Dave Cargill of 6820 Mill Rd., in Rockford asked if the petitioner is involved with
the Home2 Suites Hotel going up in Loves Park. The applicant responded they do
not. He asked if they were involved with the adjacent Hampton Inn construction,
and the applicant indicated yes. Mr. Cargill stated he represents IBEW Local 364
and would like it to be on record that they had issues when the Hampton Inn
construction because the builder had no interest in using local labor for the work.
He stated that he hopes if this proposal goes forward that they can change that.
Dennis Smigielski of 1220 Knolls Ave. mentioned he is concerned that the hotel is
not a light commercial use. He also noted he feels the entrance is not going to be
adequate for all the traffic coming in and out of the hotel and subdivision, and
putting the hotel on this site will be a big mistake.
Christine Sokalowski of 1230 Mason St. said she is a mother of five and a small
business owner. She said they have lived there since 2013 and did their due
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 8, 2018
Page 7 of 10
diligence to find out what kind of property that empty lot was before they made
their choice to move. She mentioned she is concerned about the traffic blocking
the subdivision entrance and has an issue with the hotel location. She does feel
the property values went down after the Hampton Inn opened in 2015. Mr. Olson
clarified some of her questions/concerns about the traffic. Matt Baldwin from WBK
Engineering stated they are the City Engineer and answered Ms. Sokalowski’s
questions on the traffic concerns and summarized the traffic study they reviewed,
which was conducted per IDOT standards. He noted there is not a warrant for a
light at Knolls Ave. S. and Annie Glidden Rd. and the existing road network has
capacity to accommodate the hotel. Ms. Sokalowski said she feels the numbers
are not accurate on the presentation on property values.
Bessie Chronopoulos of 423 Gayle Ave. stated she wishes the public would get
involved more than what they do and believes the City must be careful when
dealing with waivers, rezoning and flood plains. She asked when was the last time
the City looked at updating the Comprehensive Plan and said the history of this
area has been changed a lot. She feels it is not the staff’s job to make “it” (hotel)
work and they should protect and strive for quality of development that goes on in
the City.
Preston Christler of 1222 Mason St. stated he moved into DeKalb in December of
2015 and that he was concerned about the Hampton Inn but dealt with it. He said
the police department only responds after a crime has been committed.
Chair Doe gave the Commissioner’s an opportunity to ask more questions. Ms.
Buckley asked what the traffic pattern is like at the Hampton Inn. Al Hill,
representing the applicant, responded and said the Home2 Suites is a mid-scale
Hilton extended stay product. He said on an average people stay two-three days
and a lot of these hotels are being built across the country. He said there might
be 65-75 cars pulling in over a 4-hour period, which would be about 15 an hour.
Mr. Hill said cars leaving in the morning would be quicker due to checking-out
instead of checking in and would be from 6:00am and to 10-11:00 am. Ms. Barbe
asked if there are kitchenettes in each room, and the applicant responded yes
there will be. She asked where the sign would be that indicates where they turn
into the hotel. Mr. Olson said they have not provided that yet. He added the
plantings in the Knolls Ave. S. island will be removed, and new low growth
plantings will be added for better visibility. She asked Mr. Olson about planned
developments and why would the City have more control over the development
than a special use permit. Mr. Olson responded that it’s covered in the UDO and
planned developments provide the ability to require more restrictive standards than
a special use permit. He said the planned development can also dictate things
related to public safety, length of time of stay and restrictions on the development
of the hotel.
Mr. Maxwell said he lives in the Knolls Subdivision and has been there for 21 years.
He feels everyone knew the subject lot was commercially zoned property and
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 8, 2018
Page 8 of 10
believes there are other uses in the LC District that would be worse than a hotel
such as a gas station or restaurant. He feels the traffic from a hotel would have
less of an impact than other commercial businesses that could go on the subject
property. Mr. Castro echoed Ms. Chronopoulos comments and believes it’s very
valuable to hear from the residents and appreciates the public coming here to voice
their concerns. Mr. Castro asked Mr. Patel what the average occupancy of the
Hampton Inn is. Mr. Patel responded it is usually 79% and weekends are usually
full. Mr. Castro asked about property values and who did the study that was
presented. Mr. Patel said RVG Commercial provided the study and used MLS
Listings. Mr. Patel corrected a previous speaker and noted that the Hampton Inn
opened in March of 2014 not 2015. Mr. Patel said the light commercial zoning
allows for 45-foot-high buildings, regardless of use. Mr. Castro asked Mr. Patel if
someone was looking at a house for sale close to the hotel would that person
reconsider this property because of the proximity to the hotel. Mr. Patel responded
that lot was always zoned commercial and feels if it were a gas station it would
devalue the house more than a high-quality hotel. He added a residential lot next
to a commercial zoned property should be valued less than the other lots.
Chair Doe gave the public one more time to respond.
Steven Brown of 1231 Mason St asked about the floodplain being close to the
hotel and asked about the impact on the reason why it has been vacant for 20
years. He said there are different people that will be staying at extended stay
hotels vs. hotels like the Hampton Inn so there is no comparison. He added the
kitchenettes allow for more alcohol to be stored. He reiterated his concern about
the construction phase and the effect on the neighborhood.
Amanda Aune of 1230 Mason St. said she has five children and they use the park
that is next to the site and she is concerned about the kids being that close to the
hotel. She said she is also concerned about there being a lot of traffic at the
intersection (Knolls Ave. S. and Annie Glidden) and would like to see something
other than a hotel go in that location.
Dennis Smigielski of 1220 Knolls Ave. said he doesn’t feel the Hampton Inn is at
full occupancy at times and doesn’t believe the hotel is needed. Mr. Patel said the
loan would not have been approved by the bank for the hotel if they didn’t think it
was going to be successful.
At 9:00 PM Chair Doe asked for a motion to extend the meeting another hour, per
the Commission’s by-laws. Ms. Buckley so moved, seconded by Ms. Barbe, the
motion was approved by unanimous voice vote.
Chair Doe asked if there was anyone else from the public that would like to speak.
There was none.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Ms. Barbe commented that “LC” Light Commercial zoning does not include gas
stations (Special Use in the LC District). Ms. Buckley asked Mr. Olson to clarify
the function of the Planning and Zoning Commission on this request. Mr. Olson
responded their function is to review the testimony and findings of fact for a
rezoning and planned development, the documents and supporting information
provided and make findings based on those items for this specific location.
Chair Doe asked Mr. Olson to explain if the vote is in the negative what needs to
be done. He said if the Commission is leaning toward denying the request, they
need to find reasons and create findings supporting the denial of the petitions.
Chair Doe noted that based upon all the input from residents, staff and the
applicant there are lot of positives for a hotel in the City, however the proposed
location may not be the best. Mr. Castro stated his inclination is to approve the
hotel. Mr. Maxwell commented he understands the resident’s concerns, however
feels the location is good. Ms. Barbe stated she feels the hotel is in the wrong
location. Ms. Buckley said their position is to look at the facts and rule on that and
at this point she would be in favor based on the finding of facts. Mr. Maxwell
wanted to make sure in the recommendation that it would state that the hotel
cannot be changed to long term residential uses and can be used only for a hotel.
Mr. Olson said that language could go into the development agreement and can
be made part of the recommendation. He said there is also a provision regarding
the length of stay in the recommendation from staff, but it can be expanded to
include no conversion into apartments or some other residential use. Chair Doe
went over Exhibit A, Development Standards attached to the staff report and said
a #5 could be added to include the language restricting it to only a hotel and no
conversion into apartments or some other residential use. Mr. Maxwell said he
would also would like to add a restriction on lighting. Mr. Olson said that is already
in the photometric plan, which is part of the plan approval recommendation. Chair
Doe asked if anyone wants to change the exterior colors of the proposed hotel as
shown on the architectural renderings provided. Mr. Maxwell asked if there is
something they can do with the AC units on the roof to make it look better. Mr. Hill
said Hilton will require some screening around those.
Mr. Maxwell made a motion based upon the submitted petition and testimony
presented that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact
and recommend to the City Council approval of a Zoning Map Amendment from
the “LC” Light Commercial District to the “PD-C” Planned Development
Commercial District and approval of a Planned Development Plan for a 90-room
Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel to be located on the subject property per the Planned
Development Plans and Development Standards listed in Exhibit A of the staff
report and subject to all staff comments being addressed prior to final City Council
action as listed in Exhibit B of the staff report. Mr. Maxwell added to the motion
that in addition to the pre-existing language in Exhibit A, the Commission
recommends language be added denoting that the facility could not be used for
anything other than an extended stay hotel meaning no apartment usage or other
residential development. Seconded by Ms. Buckley.

F. REPORTS
Mr. Olson mentioned the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting will be
on Wednesday, August 22nd and there are two public hearings scheduled.
Community Development Director Jo Ellen Charlton commended the Commission
on the Home2 Suites project stating it is never easy and re-stating how important
it is to hear the public’s comments. Ms. Charlton added that the City needs to do
more comprehensive planning and the last Comprehensive Plan was completed
in 2005. She added it will be an expensive project and a long-term process and
we need to get back to the basics and grow the City’s economy. Chair Doe asked
about the sign ordinance that was brought up in the past. Ms. Charlton said it is
on the list, but summer is not the best time to do it.

Sheela Prahlad, owners, for approval of a Special Use Permit for a Video Gaming
Establishment in the “GC” General Commercial District for property located at 850-
852 S. 4th St.
Chair Doe opened the floor to the petitioner for a presentation. Applicant Brad
Coppens stated he feels there are too many empty buildings on the south side of
DeKalb. He mentioned the proposed video gaming establishment will not be a bar
but will be a video gaming café. He noted most people attending will be females
over 50 years old and said he will employ local people. Mr. Coppens went over
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 5, 2018
Page 2 of 4
the layout of the building & parking area. He said there will only be five video
machines, and they will be serving beer & wine. He feels it will not be detrimental
to the area and will be in compliance with City Ordinances. He also noted there
are no gaming facilities on the south side of the City where they are the primary
use. Mr. Coppens also said there will be no one under 21 allowed in the
establishment because alcohol will be served. Building owner, Brian Scholle of 455
Quinlan Avenue in DeKalb, gave the history of the property and stated he has been
the owner for 31 years. He stated the building is split up into five tenants. He noted
there are only a few empty businesses along S. 4th St. and believes the video
gaming establishment will be a good tenant and it will be a long-term lease.
Mr. Olson went through the staff report dated June 29, 2018. He noted the history
of the City Council’s approval and regulations of video gaming establishments. He
stated this applicant was one of three locations approved for a liquor license and
video gaming license in March 2018 subject to approval of several conditions
including the approval of a special use permit. Mr. Olson mentioned that although
the City Council approved the Ordinance, the applicant must still go through a
public hearing process to establish that the operation meets the standards for a
special use as contained in the UDO. He noted there was a Citizen Response
Form received from a resident at 917 S. 5th St. (Sherry Blondell) indicating she
does not support the proposal. The form was made part of the record.
Chair Doe gave the public a chance to speak. Nancy Teboda of 905 S. 4th St.
spoke on behalf of the Children’s Learning Center, which is across the street from
the subject site. She stated she is in support of filling empty buildings along S. 4th
St. but was not in support of this proposal. She mentioned on a daily basis there
are 300 families in and around the building and area picking up and dropping off
children. Ms. Teboda stated she is representing over 100 teachers and support
staff that work in the various programs. She stated Children’s Learning Center has
before and after school programs and there is a lot of foot traffic in that area during
business hours. She also mentioned she is concerned about exposure to the
children from the proposed gambling operation. Ms. Teboda said she feels with
the “gambling” there is concern and a safety issue for the children in the area
including students that attend Founders Elementary School.
Chair Doe opened up the discussion to the Commissioners for comments or
questions. Ms. Buckley asked about the quantity of vehicles using the parking
area. Mr. Coppens responded there will be very few cars in the parking lot. Ms.
Buckley also wanted clarification on the City’s portion of revenue they would
receive from the video gaming. Mr. Coppens responded that it would be about
$20,000 per year. Mr. Wright asked how many employees would be employed at
the business. Mr. Coppens responded there would be eight at the beginning. Mr.
Wright asked what will be served as far as drinks and food. Mr. Coppens said all
beverages that are non-alcoholic will be free and there will be very minimal food
selections with nothing prepared on-site. Ms. Nier asked if there any applicable
liquor laws regarding proximity to the pre-school. Mr. Olson responded that the
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 5, 2018
Page 3 of 4
state liquor code has a minimum setback to schools of 100 feet, but it does not
include day care centers or pre-schools. He noted that the proposed establishment
is 120 feet from the Founders Elementary School property line. Ms. Barbe asked
how close Twin Tavern is to the proposed facility. Mr. Coppens replied that Twin
tavern is two blocks away. Mr. Olson replied the video gaming at Twin tavern is
accessory to the bar, not the primary use. Ms. Barbe asked Mr. Olson how many
video gaming facilities the City has (primary and accessory). He responded there
are around 20 total and seven in which they are the primary use and three more
were added by the City Council in March. Mr. Olson added that two of those,
including the subject petition, submitted their liquor and video gaming license
applications in the required time-frame. Ms. Barbe said she is in support of filling
up businesses but is not in support about video gaming at this location and believes
there are plenty of other video gaming operations in the area. Chair Doe stated
she has a problem with the proposed hours of operation, particularly opening at
7:00 am and serving liquor. She asked the applicant how they will handle a child
walking into the establishment. Mr. Coppens said they would tell them to leave
since they have to be 21 to enter. Mr. Coppens addressed some of the objections
raised. He brought up that kids see these machines all the time around the City at
other establishments. Ms. Buckley asked about their liquor license and the
restrictions. Mr. Coppens said he will sell beer and wine only. Ms. Barbe asked
how many employees they will have and what the pay will be. Mr. Coppens
responded there will be approximately eight employees and they will be paid the
minimum wage plus tips. He added they want to employ DeKalb residents. Chair
Doe asked about the tenant space layout. Mr. Coppens went over the floor layout
and noted they will also have free Wi-Fi.
Chair Doe gave the public one more chance to speak, there was none.
Chair Doe asked if the Commissioners and the City had any more questions or
comments. There was none.
Chair Doe commented that the recommendation is to continue the hearing until
August 8th and asked the Commissioners what they would like to do. Ms. Nier
stated she would personally like to see the staff recommendation prior to making
a recommendation. Chair Doe replied they will not close the public hearing.
Ms. Buckley moved that the public hearing for a Special Use Permit for a Video
Gaming Establishment at 850-852 S. 4th St. be continued to the August 8, 2018
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to be held in the City Council Chambers
at the DeKalb Municipal Building, 200 S. 4th St. DeKalb, IL at 6:00 PM. Mr. Wright

II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The applicant, Brad Coppens, is proposing to establish a “Video Gaming Establishment” to be
called Maisy’s in a portion of the building located at 850-852 S. 4th St. The building on the site is
3,310 sq. ft. and the video gaming establishment will be located at the southern end of the building
taking up about 1/3 of the total gross floor area. The building also contains an insurance office,
massage therapist and beauty shop. The applicant has provided a description of the proposed
operation and how they believe it will be in compliance with the special use standards of the UDO
(included in packet).
In February and March of 2017, the City Council approved ordinances regulating establishments
that include video gaming machines or terminals. These actions were the culmination of research
conducted as part of a six-month moratorium on new video gaming licenses due to the high volume
Page 2 of 7
of requests for stand-alone video gaming establishments in 2016. In addition to amendments to the
UDO that created a new definition and separation requirements for stand-alone video gaming
establishments as a principal use, the Council also asked for revisions to Chapter 38 “Intoxicating
Liquors” in order to limit the number of new stand-alone video gaming establishments to the
number that existed at the time of adoption, which was seven establishments. The amendments to
the UDO also included placing video gaming establishments as a special use in the “LC” Light
Commercial and “GG” General Commercial zoning districts.
Throughout the rest of 2017 and early 2018, the City fielded requests from several entities
interested in establishing video gaming establishments. In March, 2018 the City Council discussed
the matter and adopted an Ordinance authorizing amendments to Chapter 38 of the City Code to
increase the number of supplemental licenses for video gaming establishments by one (1) for the
properties located at 850-852 S. Fourth Street, 1221 W. Lincoln Highway, and 110-124 E. Hillcrest
Drive, to become effective only after the Council’s later approval of a special use for a video
gaming establishment for one or all properties, and in compliance with the Municipal Code and
conditions in the Ordinance. The applicant for 850-852 S. 4th St. submitted a liquor license and
video gaming license application per the time requirements established in the March Ordinance.
On June 11th the City Council approved an Ordinance authorizing a bar liquor license with
supplemental licensure for video gaming terminals for 850-852 S. 4th St. subject to several
conditions. One of those conditions was that the applicant must obtain all required zoning
approvals including a special use permit. On June 11th, the applicant submitted a special use
petition for a video gaming establishment on the subject site and a public hearing in front of the
Commission was set for July 5th. Approval of the Ordinance by the City Council does not
automatically grant the special use permit. The applicant must go through public hearing process
and establish that the use meets the standards for a special use as contained in the UDO. The initial
public hearing was conducted on July 5th and continued by the Planning and Zoning Commission
to August 8th.
At the initial public hearing on July 5th, Nancy Teboda of the nearby Children’s Learning Center
(905 S. 4th St.) stated she was representing over 100 teachers and support staff that work in the
various programs. Ms. Teboda stated she supported the filling of empty buildings along S. 4th St.
but was not in support of this proposal. She mentioned on a daily basis there are 300 families in
the area picking up and dropping off children. Ms. Teboda also mentioned she is concerned about
exposure to the children from the proposed gambling operation and believes there is a safety issue
for the children in the area including students that attend Founders Elementary School. Concerns
were raised by the Commission regarding the number of existing gaming operations in the City
and the hours of operation of the proposed special use.
The Police Department has provided data regarding calls for service at the seven existing video
gaming establishments in the City. A summary of the calls is provided on the attached sheet.
Page 3 of 7
Police Chief Lowery indicated there is no significant demand for public safety resources nor any
quality of life or crime concerns related to the existing video gaming establishments.
In relation to the concerns with the hours of operation, particularly in the morning, the applicant
has agreed to not allow liquor sales until 10:00 am. The liquor license regulations for the City
allows liquor sales to start at 6:00 am Monday-Saturday and at 10:00 am on Sunday. The applicant
had noted in their application they planned to open at 7:00 am Monday-Saturday and at 10:00 am
on Sunday.
To address concerns related to the proximity of the video gaming establishment to the day car
centers and Founders Elementary School, we are recommending that wall signs for the special use
be limited to the west building elevation only and shall not contain advertising related to the sale
or presence of alcohol or video gaming. A detail of the proposed sign is provided in the
Commission’s packet. In addition, we are recommending that any signs in the window that
advertise the sale or presence of alcohol or video gaming be limited to no more than 40% of one
of the window panes that it is located on (excluding the doors). Below is an image that shows
approximately 40% of one of the window panes.
Page 4 of 7
III. STANDARDS OF A SPECIAL USE
1. The proposed special use complies with all provisions of the applicable district
regulations.
The proposed video gaming establishment will comply with all regulations of the “GC” General
Commercial District and the UDO. The subject property is 120 feet away from the nearest property
line of a school meeting the state minimum separation requirement for liquor sales per the Illinois
Liquor Control Act.
2. The proposed special use will not be unreasonably detrimental to the value of other
property in the neighborhood in which it is to be located or to the public welfare at large.
The proposed special use will not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses.
The site has been zoned commercial for decades and is in proximity to a variety of commercial
uses. Data from the City’s Police Department indicates there is no significant demand for public
safety resources nor any quality of life or crime concerns related to the existing video gaming
establishments in the City. The special use permit will have restrictions regarding the hours for
liquor sales and limits on signage that are more restrictive than the UDO allows.
3. The location and size of the special use, the nature and intensity of the operation
involved in or conducted in connection with it, and the location of the site with respect to
streets giving access to it are such that the special use will not dominate the immediate
neighborhood so as to prevent development and use of neighboring property in accordance
with the applicable zoning district regulations.
The special use will not dominate the immediate area and will not prevent development on the
neighboring properties. The surrounding area is already developed with commercial uses along S.
4th St. including a car wash, automotive repair business, day care centers, school administrative
offices, a restaurant and gas station. Two single-family homes are directly east of the site along
Culver St. with Founders Elementary School further to the east. Single-family homes exist to the
southeast of the site. Video gaming is licensed in the Twin Tavern bar located 1 ½ blocks south of
the subject site and at the American Legion three blocks south along S. 4th St.
4. Adequate utility, drainage and other such necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
Adequate public services are already provided to the subject site.
5. The proposed use, where such developments and uses are deemed consistent with
good planning practice, or can be operated in a manner that is not detrimental to the
permitted developments and uses in the district; can be developed and operated in a manner
that is visually compatible with the permitted uses in the surrounding area; shall in all other
Page 5 of 7
respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located; and is
deemed essential or desirable to preserve and promote the public health, safety and general
welfare of the City of DeKalb.
The proposed special use will not be detrimental to the permitted developments and uses on the
site or to the surrounding area. Restrictions will be placed on the advertising of the video gaming
in relation to signage and liquor sales will start later than allowed per the applicant’s liquor license.
Revenues from the video gaming operation are estimated by the applicant to be $20,000 per year.
The proposed special use will take up a vacant tenant space on S. 4th St. will be an economic benefit
to the corridor.
IV. CITIZEN RESPONSE/COMMENTS
A Citizen Response Form from Sherry Blondell of 917 S. 5th St. was received indicting she does
not support the proposal. A copy of the form was made part of the record at the July 5th hearing
and is included in the Commission’s packet. An e-mail was received from Jamie Craven,
Superintendent for DeKalb CUSD428, on July 9th indicating the districts concerns about the
proposed facility. The e-mail was forwarded to the Commission on July 9th and is provided in the
packet and will be made part of the record at the hearing.
V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed special use will take up a vacant tenant space on S. 4th St. will add to the economic
development along the corridor. Revenues from the video gaming operation are estimated by the
applicant to be about $20,000 per year. Data from the City’s Police Department indicates there is
no significant demand for public safety resources nor any quality of life or crime concerns related
to the existing video gaming establishments in the City. The special use permit will have
restrictions regarding the hours that liquor sales will start in the morning and signage requirements
that are more restrictive than the UDO allows.
Sample Motion:
Based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move that the Planning and Zoning
Commission forward its findings of fact and recommend to the City Council approval of a Special
Use Permit for a Video Gaming Establishment at the subject site per the conditions as indicated
on Exhibit A.
Page 6 of 7
Exhibit A
1. The video gaming establishment shall only be allowed to operate in the area as shown
as “Video Gaming” on the floor plan dated 6-11-18 and labeled as Exhibit B.

with supplemental licensure for video gaming issued per Ordinance 2018-073.
3. The sale of alcohol shall not occur at the video gaming establishment before 10:00
a.m., Monday through Sunday.
4. Wall signs for the video gaming establishment shall be limited to the west building
elevation and shall not contain advertising related to the sale or presence of alcohol or
video gaming. Window signage advertising the sale or presence of alcohol or video
gaming shall be limited to no more than 40% of one of the window panes (excluding
the doors) on the west building elevation. All other signage shall meet the
requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance.

Maisy’s 14.03.05 Special Permit Compliance
a. Maisy’s complies with all provisions of applicable district regulations.
b. Maisy’s will not be detrimental to the neighborhood or public welfare of
the community.
c. Maisy’s special use will not affect the outside building or the land on or
near the property of 850-854 S. Fourth Street. A fenced in area will be
erected around the garbage dumpster. A “Maisy’s” sign will be placed on
the front of the building. No other outside work will be done.
d. Maisy’s has or will have adequate utility, drainage, and comply with all city
requests to be in compliance.
e. Currently, the south side of DeKalb has no video gaming café’s. Patrons can
go to a bar(Twins) to play, or a private non-profit(Legion), but there are no
café’s. Maisy’s will provide a clean, friendly environment where customers
can enjoy their video gaming experience. All signage laws will be adhered
to, and similar to the other gaming establishments in the city.
Proposed Use and Description
Hours of operation
M-W 7am-1am
R-Sa 7am-2am
Sun 10am-1am.
These are the allowable liquor serving hours set by the City. If we find, for
example, that no one is coming in after midnight, the hours will be adjusted as
necessary.
Maisy’s will have approximately 8 employees, of which it is desired that these
employees will be residents of the south side of DeKalb.
Maisy’s will fill a currently empty commercial real estate property on South
Fourth Street(State Route 23). The capacity limit will never be in question, since
the state allows no more than 5 video gaming machines in a facility.
The DeKalb City Council has a set of goals for the economic development of the
city. Maisy’s applies to several of these goals. Below are how Maisy’s
applies.(Taken word for word from the City Council’s goal directive)
a. Focus on areas outside of downtown
b. Increase efforts to draw business to East and West Lincoln Highway and
South 4th Street
c. Increase business activity on South 4th Street and East Lincoln Highway
d. Reduce commercial vacancies by 25%
e. Use vacant retail space for pop up stores.
All permits have been, or will be applied for including building, fire safety, County
Health, and signage. Alcohol training has been completed by me, Brad Coppens,
owner, and all employees will be required to pass the training mandated by the
City.
The impact Maisy’s will have on the City of DeKalb includes the following.
a. Filling an empty commercial property on South Fourth Street.
b. Employing local citizens
c. Revenue to the City of DeKalb which includes approximately $4000/year in
fees.
d. Revenue to the City of DeKalb which includes approximately $2000/month
in profit sharing fees.
e. Both myself, and the building owners are City of DeKalb homeowners and
residents. Profits generated will stay in Dekalb.

II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The applicant, Brad Coppens, is proposing to establish a “Video Gaming Establishment” to be
called Maisy’s in a portion of the building located at 850-852 S. 4th St. The building on the site is
3,310 sq. ft. and the video gaming establishment will be located at the southern end of the building
taking up about 1/3 of the total gross floor area. The building also contains an insurance office and
massage therapist. The applicant has provided a description of the proposed operation and how
they believe it will be in compliance with the special use standards of the UDO (included in
packet).
In February and March of 2017, the City Council approved ordinances regulating establishments
that include video gaming machines or terminals. These actions were the culmination of research
conducted as part of a six-month moratorium on new video gaming licenses due to the high volume
Page 2 of 4
of requests for stand-alone video gaming establishments in 2016. In addition to amendments to the
UDO that created a new definition and separation requirements for stand-alone video gaming
establishments as a principal use, the Council also asked for revisions to Chapter 38 “Intoxicating
Liquors” in order to limit the number of new stand-alone video gaming establishments to the
number that existed at the time of adoption, which was seven establishments. The amendments to
the UDO also included placing video gaming establishments as a special use in the “LC” Light
Commercial and “GG” General Commercial zoning districts.
Throughout the rest of 2017 and early 2018, the City fielded requests from several entities
interested in establishing video gaming establishments. In March, 2018 the City Council discussed
the matter and adopted an Ordinance authorizing amendments to Chapter 38 of the City Code to
increase the number of supplemental licenses for video gaming establishments by one (1) for the
properties located at 850-852 S. Fourth Street, 1221 W. Lincoln Highway, and 110-124 E. Hillcrest
Drive, to become effective only after the Council’s later approval of a special use for a video
gaming establishment for one or all properties, and in compliance with the Municipal Code and
conditions in the Ordinance. The applicant for 850-852 S. 4th St. submitted a liquor license and
video gaming license application per the time requirements established in the March Ordinance.
On June 11th the City Council approved an Ordinance authorizing a bar liquor license with
supplemental licensure for video gaming terminals for 850-852 S. 4th St. subject to several
conditions. One of those conditions was that the applicant must obtain all required zoning
approvals including a special use permit. On June 11th, the applicant submitted a special use
petition for a video gaming establishment on the subject site and a public hearing in front of the
Commission was set for July 5th. Approval of the Ordinance by the City Council does not
automatically grant the special use permit. The applicant must go through public hearing process
and establish that the use meets the standards for a special use as contained in the UDO.
III. CITIZEN RESPONSE/COMMENTS
We received a Citizen Response Form from Sherry Blondell of 917 S. 5th St. indicting she does
not support the proposal. A copy of the form is in your packet and will be made part of the record.
IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City has received communications from a child care center across S. 4th St. from the subject
property noting concerns about the proposed use and their interest in attending the public hearing
along with some parents. A full staff report has not been prepared in order to allow comments from
the public to be made prior to a recommendation. We are recommending the public hearing be
continued after the applicant’s presentation, public input and Commission’s questions and
comments on July 5th. We are suggesting the hearing be continued to the August 8th Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting, where a full report with a recommendation from staff will be
provided for the Commission’s consideration. Two other public hearings have already been
scheduled for the July 18th Commission meeting.

Mr. Olson,
DeKalb CUSD 428 was not represented at the Zoning Hearing last week where a
potential gambling and liquor permit was discussed at a location adjacent to Founders
Elementary School. Please know that we are concerned about this permit being
approved and a gambling/liquor establishment being located so close to our
elementary building and at a high student traffic (walkers) intersection. This location
is also right across the street from the Education Center which houses two daycare
programs. While we do support economic and business development we simply feel
that this location is not a favorable spot for such a business. Please pass our concerns
on to the Zoning Commission and City Council members. We will plan to attend the
August 8th hearing.

II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Background
The applicant is proposing a 4-story, 90 room Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel for a 2.87-acre lot
located on southwest corner of S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave. S. The subject site is Lot
302 in the Knolls at Prairie Creek, P.U.D. Phase 5 Subdivision and currently zoned “LC” Light
Commercial District. The City’s Comprehensive Plan indicates the subject site for commercial
uses. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from the “LC” Light Commercial District
to the “PD-C” Planned Development Commercial District and approval of a Planned Development
Plan and waiver to the maximum building height.
A project summary provided by the applicant is provided in the Commission’s packet. Home2
Suites is an extended stay hotel and the facility will include a conference room and indoor pool.
The applicant has indicated there is an identified need for a mid to higher tier extended stay hotel
in DeKalb. Proposed room rates will range from $130.00 to $180.00 per night. Property taxes that
will be generated from the project are estimated to be over $200,000 per year. The adjacent
Hampton Inn property tax bill for 2017 was $205,079.26. In addition, the proposed hotel is
estimated to generate between $140,000 to $150,000 per year in Hotel/Motel Tax.
A hotel is a Special Use in the “LC” Light Commercial District, however the Planned Development
offers the City more control over the project and its future development (e.g. site layout and
architectural control). In addition, restrictions on the maximum length of stays at the hotel can be
regulated through the Planned Development procedure. In the “LC” Light Commercial District
there are several permitted uses that could locate on the property without any zoning approval
needed. The list of the “LC” District permitted uses from the Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) as well as the special uses are attached for the Commission’s reference. The property lies
within the area covered by the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor (SAGRC) Overlay Zoning
District, which establishes the City’s vision and guidelines for development of this area. The
regulations and guidelines for the SARGC are covered in Article 6 of the UDO and a copy is
attached for the Commission.
The proposed project was discussed at a neighborhood open house on June 27th and at a Ward 6
meeting on July 14th both hosted by Sixth Ward Alderman Mike Verbic. The meetings allowed
residents to preview the plans for the hotel, ask questions, provide comments and receive
information regarding the public hearing in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission. All
attendees were advised to attend the hearing or submit comments, so they could be made part of
the official public record.
The initial public hearing was held on July 18th and continued to August 8th. Since the July 18th
hearing, the applicant revised the plans and submitted them to the City on July 31st. Plans were
distributed to staff for review. A full review by staff was not able to be completed by the packet
Page 2 of 12
deadline of Friday (August 3rd) afternoon. We will have an update at Wednesday’s meeting,
however the remaining comments are minor and once addressed would not alter the layout of the
site.
At the July 18th Commission hearing there were several comments/questions about why the hotel
is not being considered for some other locations in the City. Staff wants the Commission to
understand that the focus of this review is only on the subject site and how it meets or does not
meet the standards spelled out in the UDO.
Site Plan/Architectural Elevations/Floor Area Ratio/Stormwater Drainage
One of the initial comments was related to the proximity of the hotel to the residential district to
the west of the site. For Planned Developments, the UDO requires a 50-foot “buffer area” between
any non-residential use and an adjacent residential district. As defined in the UDO, a “buffer area”
is “a strip of land established to protect one type of land use from another land use that is
incompatible. Normally, the area is landscaped and kept in open space use.” The plans had
originally indicated parking, an access drive and a trash dumpster/enclosure within 50 feet of the
residential property to the west with the parking lot as close as 15.5 feet to the property line. The
building is setback 80+ feet from the west property line. Staff recommended the applicant either
move the building and associated improvements to the east, so this 50-foot buffer area can be
maintained or at the least re-locate the eight parking spaces on the west side of the site and the
trash dumpster/enclosure to another part of the property and request a waiver to the “buffer area”
requirement. Staff also recommended that additional landscaping, including evergreen trees, be
added to this buffer area to provide more screening and that the proposed six-foot-high solid wood
fence in this area be increased to eight feet and be changed to a solid white vinyl (or composite)
fence. The revised plans indicate the eight parking spaces removed and the trash dumpster moved
to the north and just out of the 50-foot buffer area. The revised landscape plans indicate an eight-
foot high composite earth-tone privacy fence and additional plantings in this area. We have
suggested the trash dumpster be moved further to the east on the site so it’s not in proximity to the
residential area. The applicant has indicated that Hilton is concerned with the dumpster too close
to their entrance and that it will take up parking spaces. The number of required parking spaces for
the hotel, based upon the UDO, is 98 and the number of provided spaces is 98.
To increase visibility for motorist at the access off of Knolls Ave. S. and onto S. Annie Glidden
Rd., the applicant is proposing to remove all the landscaping in the landscaping island in Knolls
Ave. S. and put in low growing plantings. The developer will also cover the cost to replace the
existing Knolls at Prairie Creek Subdivision sign with a new one. The initial staff comment letter
also recommended adding landscaping next to the building foundation, to the east of the access
from Knolls Ave. S. and to add a three-foot high berm for a portion of the frontage along the road
to screen the parking lot from the residences to the northwest. The revised plans indicate
foundation plantings added and additional shrubs along the Knolls Ave. S. frontage.
In the SAGRC standards, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowed is .40. The FAR proposed
Page 3 of 12
for the subject site, according to the information on the plan, is approximately .47. A development
bonus to allow an increase in the FAR of .10 is allowed in commercial zoning districts in the
SAGRC if six or more of the performance criteria are met as listed in the UDO. The applicant has
provided a list of six performance measures they indicate the project is meeting.
The applicant has requested a waiver to the maximum building height to allow a parapet and crown
to exceed the maximum height by about 9 feet for a part of the building (see architectural
elevations). The maximum building height in the SAGRC is 45 feet, however a 10-foot increase
in the maximum building height is allowed if six or more of the performance criteria are met as
listed in in the SAGRC standards in the UDO. The applicant has provided a list of six performance
measures they indicate the project is meeting. Architectural standards were approved along with
the Hampton Inn that included minimum amounts of masonry materials and limits on other
materials that could be on the building such as dryvit (EIFS) and staff would recommend these
standards be applied to the Home2 Suites Hotel. The applicant has been working with the City on
the architectural elevations and revised drawings have been submitted indicating additional
masonry/stone on the building and the addition of a small amount of ornamentation at the top of
the hotel. The exterior of the proposed Home2 Suites Hotel will be constructed of 40.7%
brick/stone, 18.6 % glass and 40.7% EIFS. If the project is approved, we would recommend the
architectural standards for the Hampton Inn be approved for the Home2 Suites Hotel. We would
also recommend more earth-tone colors be added for the EIFS and the green vertical band on the
east elevation.
The applicant has submitted an Engineering Plan and stormwater detention calculations, which
has been reviewed by the City Engineer. Beyond some minor comments which the applicant must
address, the plan meets the City’s stormwater requirements and no waivers to the UDO are being
requested. The revised plans are under review by our City Engineer and an update will be provided
at Wednesday’s meeting.
The DeKalb Park District reviewed the plans and commented on the need to provide more native
plantings around the prosed detention area and to provide a means of access to their property south
of the subject site. The revised plans reflect the addition of native plantings around the stormwater
facility as requested and the applicant has agreed to allow access across their property for the
District. An easement or separate agreement between the two parties would be needed and can be
addressed in the development agreement.
Traffic Analysis
A traffic study was conducted by applicant in March, 2018 and submitted to the City and reviewed
by our City Engineer. Highlights of the study include:
• Traffic counts were taken on Thursday, February 15th when school was in session.
• The traffic signal warrant analysis conducted at the S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave
Page 4 of 12
S. intersection shows that a traffic signal is not warranted with the existing traffic volumes
and projected traffic volumes with the proposed hotel. The City Engineer indicates the
warrants are far off for a traffic light. The peak trips from the neighborhood are in the
morning and the peak trips for the hotel will be in the afternoon, so there is compatibility
with the use compared to other commercial uses or even a multi-family residential use.
• The capacity analysis in the study shows that all the critical movements at this intersection
(S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S.) are projected to operate at a good level of
service under the existing stop sign control.
• No other improvements are required along Knolls Ave S. (except for changes to the
landscaping to improve visibility) to accommodate the proposed access drive and the
development generated traffic.
The SAGRC standards restrict any new access onto S. Annie Glidden Road that is within 660 feet
to another point of access onto the road. The distance between Knolls Ave. S. and the entrance to
the Hampton Inn is about 700 feet. The City Engineer does not recommend a separate access to S.
Annie Glidden Road because it would cause conflicts with the current access and create confusion
with motorist. Providing a connection from the Hampton Inn to the proposed hotel site would
involve crossing a creek and bike path and would have floodplain and wetland impacts, according
to the City Engineer. The DeKalb Park District owns the property between the Hampton Inn and
proposed hotel site and would likely not favor a connection. When looking at future signal spacing
along S. Annie Glidden Road, the Knolls Ave. S. location is better distance from Taylor St. than
the Hampton Inn access. Finally, the Hampton Inn site layout was not set up for cross traffic to the
subject property and wouldn’t function without significant improvements.
Accident data from 2013 to 2017 for the intersection of S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave.
S. provided by the Police Department is attached (accident data also provided in the traffic study).
No accidents have been reported in 2018 so far. Deputy Chief John Petragallo has stated that based
upon the low number of accidents at the intersection, he does not feel there is a safety issue with
the intersection. The DeKalb School District was contacted regarding the bus schedule for buses
turning left from Knolls Ave. S. onto S. Annie Glidden Rd. The district indicated there are four
buses that turn left onto S. Annie Glidden Rd. in the morning and two in the afternoon. The data
from the traffic study indicated two left turns by buses in the morning onto S. Annie Glidden Road
(study started at 7:00 a.m. and first scheduled bus was at 6:51 a.m.) with wait times of 15 and 6
seconds (see attached data sheet). The traffic study also showed one left turn onto S. Annie Glidden
Rd. in the afternoon with a wait time of 5 seconds. The transportation company, First Student, for
the school district was contacted and they indicated there were very few complaints from bus
drivers regarding this intersection and the wait times are no different than many other unsignalized
intersections in the City. It should be noted the applicant’s revised plan indicates a right turn only
lane as one exists the site going onto Knolls Ave. S. A “No Left Turn” sign will also be placed at
the exit so hotel patrons do not go through the residential subdivision to the west.

Public Safety
Calls for police service to the Hampton Inn from 3-15-15 to 7-3-18 are attached in the packet (the
“vacation/building” check on the sheets is when an officer drives through the parking lot as a
proactive measure to prevent crime and is done at all hotels and other businesses in the City).
Police Chief Lowery has indicted there is little demand for service regarding the Hampton Inn that
is criminal in nature.
With a Planned Development and Development Agreement, the City can require a No Trespass
and Traffic Enforcement Agreement with the owner and require common area video surveillance.
The City can also require a connection and inter-link to any cameras installed at the hotel, so the
City can remotely monitor the premises from the Police Department. This has been done with other
commercial projects in the City such as the Cornerstone development.
III. STANDARDS OF REZONING
1. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, or conditions have
changed to warrant the need for different types of land uses in that area. The proposed
rezoning is appropriate considering the length of time the property has been vacant, as
originally zoned, and taking into account the surrounding areas trend in development.
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan recommends the subject site for Commercial uses. The site has
been vacant for over 20 years and was platted in 1996 as part of the Knolls at Prairie Creek, P.U.D.
Phase 5 Subdivision. There is an existing 80 room, 4-story Hampton Inn Hotel to the south of the
subject site that was built in 2014. Commercial development exists to the south along Annie
Glidden Road. The development of the site with the proposed hotel use meets the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan, the trend of development in the surrounding area and the standards of the
South Annie Glidden Road Corridor (SAGRC) Overlay Zoning District. The development will
also continue to provide the foundation for future commercial developments along the Annie
Glidden Road Corridor.
2. The proposed rezoning conforms to the intent and purpose of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Re-zoning of the subject site to the PD-C District will allow the project to comply with the
regulations of the UDO except for waivers for building height and a 50-foot buffer area along the
west side of the site. The exceptions to the buffer area are justified based upon the unique shape
of the lot and the environmental constraints on the east side of the property that prohibit the
building and site improvements being located further to the east. The applicant has also provided
a list of six performance measures they are meeting as outlined in the SAGRC Overlay Zoning
Page 6 of 12
District, which allows for a 10 foot increase in the building height and an increase in the allowable
Floor Area Ratio.
3. The proposed rezoning will not have a significantly detrimental effect on the long-
range development of adjacent properties or adjacent land uses.
The surrounding area is mostly developed, and the proposed zoning and land use is consistent and
compatible with the neighborhood and Comprehensive Plan. An existing 80 room 4-sory hotel
exists to the south with commercial uses further south along Annie Glidden Road. Single-family
residential exists to the west and northwest. A park exists to the north and open space to the east
across S. Annie Glidden Rd. A buffer area exists on the west side of the site that will contain
additional landscaping beyond the UDO requirements along with an eight-foot-high privacy fence
in order to screen the adjacent residential area. The proposed rezoning should not have a
detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses.
4. The proposed rezoning constitutes an expansion of an existing zoning district that,
due to the lack of undeveloped land, can no longer meet the demand for the intended land
uses.
The subject property is proposed for “PD-C” Planned Development - Commercial zoning. The
“PD-C” District will allow the property to be used for uses that will be compatible with the
surrounding area and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations.
5. Adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided.
Existing utilities surround the subject site. An engineering plan including a stormwater
management plan has been submitted and reviewed by the City Engineer and meets the applicable
City Code requirements. Access will be provided off Knolls Ave. S., which has direct access to S.
Annie Glidden Road. The traffic study was conducted, which concluded that a traffic signal is not
warranted at the intersection of S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S. with the existing and
projected traffic volumes. The capacity analysis in the traffic study showed that all the critical
movements at the S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S intersection are projected to operate
at a good level of service under the existing stop sign control. The study also noted no other
improvements are required along Knolls Ave S. (except for changes to the landscaping to improve
visibility) to accommodate the proposed access drive and the development generated traffic. The
engineering plan indicates a right turn only lane as one exists the site going onto Knolls Ave. S.
with a “No Left Turn” sign being placed at the exit, so hotel patrons do not go through the
residential subdivision to the west.
IV. STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
General Standards: The approval of the Development Plan may provide for such exceptions from
the regulations associated with traditional zoning districts as may be necessary or desirable to
achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development. However, such exceptions shall
Page 7 of 12
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the standards contained in this Section and have
been specifically requested in the application for a planned development; and further, that no
planned development shall be allowed which would result in:
1. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development;
Access will be provided off Knolls Ave. S., through an existing cut in the landscape island. The
landscaping in the island will be removed and new low growing plantings will be installed, which
will improve the visibility for motorists. A connection directly to S. Annie Glidden Road or the
existing Hampton Inn would be unsafe for motorist, would have several engineering challenges
and is not called for in the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major street
network in the vicinity;
A traffic study was conducted in March 2018. The study concluded that a traffic signal is not
warranted at the intersection of S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S. with the existing and
projected traffic volumes. The capacity analysis in the study showed that all the critical movements
at the S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S intersection are projected to operate at a good
level of service under the existing stop sign control. The study also noted no other improvements
are required along Knolls Ave S. (except for changes to the landscaping to improve visibility) to
accommodate the proposed access drive and the development generated traffic.
3. An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police
protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development;
The DeKalb Park District, DeKalb School District #428 and the City of DeKalb Police and Fire
Departments have all reviewed the plans. The DeKalb Fire Department approves of the plan and
the Police Department has indicted there is little demand for service regarding the adjacent
Hampton Inn that is criminal in nature. The DeKalb Park District commented on the need to
provide more native plantings around the prosed detention area and to provide a means of access
to their property south of the subject site, which the applicant has or will address. The Park District
did not indicate any concerns with the hotel’s proximity to the adjacent Mason Park/Larson Lake
to the north or to their property to the south. The DeKalb School District was notified requesting
their bus schedule related to left turns from Knolls Ave. S. onto northbound Annie Glidden Rd.
The transportation company, First Student, for the School District indicated there were very few
complaints from bus drivers regarding this intersection and the wait times are no different than
many other unsignalized intersections in the City. The data from the traffic study indicated two
left turns by buses in the morning onto S. Annie Glidden Road with wait times of 15 and 6 seconds.
The engineering plan indicates a right turn only lane as one exists the site going onto Knolls Ave.
S. with a “No Left Turn” sign being placed at the exit, so hotel patrons do not go through the
residential subdivision to the west.
Page 8 of 12
There is an identified need for a mid to higher tier extended stay hotel in DeKalb. The proposed
hotel project will have positive impact on the community regarding property taxes, hotel/motel
taxes and providing a place for visitors to stay. Property taxes that will be generated from the hotel
are estimated to be over $200,000 per year. In addition, the proposed hotel is estimated to generate
between $140,000 to $150,000 per year in Hotel/Motel Tax.
4. A development which will be incompatible with the intent and purposes of this
Ordinance;
The applicant is requesting Planned Development Zoning, which allow the City to approve
regulations that will control the zoning, development and maintenance, operations and other
property improvement related issues. The Planned Development offers the City more control over
the project and its future development (e.g. site layout and architectural control). In addition,
restrictions on the maximum length of stays at the hotel can be regulated through the Planned
Development procedure. Waivers to the Unified Development Ordinance are requested for a 50-
foot buffer area to the west and the building height, which are justified based upon the physical
characteristics of the site.
5. Detrimental impact on surrounding area including, but not limited to, visual
pollution;
The surrounding area is already fully developed, and the proposed zoning and land use is consistent
and compatible with the neighborhood and Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning should
not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses. A landscape plan and building
renderings were submitted that meet the requirements in the UDO and approval of the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
V. CITIZEN RESPONSE/COMMENTS
Citizen Response Forms have been received from Linda and Preston Crisler of 1222 Mason St.
and Dennis Smigielski, Janice Gorham and Nicole Gorham of 1220 Knolls Ave. S indicating they
do not support the proposal. We also received e-mails from Sydney and Kyle Zuhn of 652 Plum
St. and Steve Brown of 1231 Mason St. noting they also do not support the proposal. A copy of
the forms and e-mails were made part of the record at the July 18th Commission hearing and copies
are provided.
Since the July 18th public hearing, e-mails have been received from Patty Pumfrey of 599
Persimmon St. and Jeff Norris of 713 Plum St. both indicating their opposition to the proposal. A
letter from the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce mentioning their support for the hotel was received
as well as an e-mail from resident John Laskowski stating his support. The e-mails/letters are
provided in your packet and are made part of the record. We also received an e-mail from Steve
Brown of 1231 Mason St. noting the site is in the floodplain, which was addressed on the
Page 9 of 12
engineering plans and stormwater report. Development of the site will stay out of the floodplain
except for a very small area near the entrance. The engineering plans and storm water report have
been reviewed by the City Engineer and they are checking the plans and report for compliance
with the City regulations. An update will be provided at Wednesday’s meeting.
VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed hotel project will have positive impact on the community regarding property taxes,
hotel/motel taxes and providing a place for visitors to stay. The development of the site with the
proposed hotel use meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the trend of development in
the surrounding area and will not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. Additional
landscaping and fencing will be provided along the west side of the site to better screen the
development from the adjacent residential area. A traffic study that was conducted concluded that
a traffic signal is not warranted at the intersection of S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S.
with the existing and projected traffic volumes and that all the critical movements at the S. Annie
Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S intersection are projected to operate at a good level of service
under the existing stop sign control.

PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES
#2. Increasing parking lot landscaping by fifty (50) percent more than otherwise required.
At 20 square feet per parking space, the 98 proposed parking spaces require 1,960 square
feet of landscape area. An additional 980 square feet are needed to achieve a 50% increase
or 2,940 square feet altogether. The revised plans have 3,111 square feet of parking lot
landscape area.
#3. Preservation and significant and appreciable improvement of natural areas.
The eastern portion of the site will remain open space and will become a natural area
planted with naturalized native plantings (forbs, grasses, sedges, and rushes).
The proposed native plantings will be an improvement upon the existing condition which is
periodically mown grasses and pioneer weeds; the existing swale along Annie Glidden Road
has a number of Willows grow in it.
The open space and natural areas fit the site context nicely with existing park/open space
and natural areas on the properties to the north, south and east of the project site.
The proposed natural areas on the project site, including the detention facility, constitutes
upwards of 22% of the site.
#5. Dedication and/or construction of a detention facility having a capacity significantly and
appreciably in excess of what is required.
A detention pond will be constructed to hold 110% of the detention requirement. A fence
and plantings will be constructed around the pond based on the UDO and SAGRCD.
#8. Providing for only open space or recreational types of land uses in the 100-year floodplain
regardless of what may otherwise be permitted.
Portions of the east end of the site are within the 100-year floodplain per FEMA maps. The
east end of the site will remain open space and will be planted with a variety of naturalized
native plantings.
#9. Providing for sufficiently screened loading and unloading areas that are located in side or
rear yards
We will add additional landscaping including evergreen trees, Honey locust trees will be
replaced with larger leave trees such as Maples the 6-foot-high privacy fence will be
increased to eight feed and changed to a solid white vinyl fence. Other additional plantings
and trees will be added to all sides to the lot to provide additional screening.*
#12. Providing for preservation of open space view sheds of the river corridor and flood plain
areas from South Annie Glidden Road, Fairview Drive, and South First Street.
Portions of the eastern half of the site are within the 100-year flood plain, according to
FEMA maps. The eastern end of the site will remain open space planted with naturalized
native plantings (forbs, grasses, sedges, and rushes). This enables the site to take advantage
of the its unique location along South Annie Glidden Road, surrounded on three sides by
public parks and open space. The site design maximizes the opportunity to extend the green
space corridor look, feel, and view across the eastern end of the site in two ways. First, with
the proposed building 250’ away and the proposed parking lot 130’ away from the South
Annie Glidden Road right-of-way, the view, or sense, of open space continues from Mason
Park to the north to the park property south of the site; it also reflects the open space on
the park property and river corridor immediately east of South Annie Glidden Road. The
park to the south will appear to extend across the front of the project site, similar to the
park space in front of the Ashbury Court Apartments east of South Annie Glidden Road.
Second, the naturalized native plantings extending from the proposed parking lot to the
public walk along south Annie Glidden Road look like an extension of the park property
south of the site. Again, the view will appear to be the south park property extending across
the front of the project site. This view will be distinctly different than the Hampton Inn,
bank, Schnucks and other developments along South Annie Glidden Road which have mown
turf from the parking lots to the back of the curb.
STANDARDS OF REZONING
A. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, or condition have
changed to warrant the need for different types of land uses in that area. The
proposed rezoning is appropriate considering the length of time the property has been
vacant, as originally zoned, and taking into account the surrounding area’s trend in
development.
The proposed rezoning complies with the vision, goals and objectives set forth in
the City’s Comprehensive Plan which recommends the subject site for
Commercial uses. The rezoning will also comply with the South Annie Glidden
Road Corridor overlay district.
B. The proposed rezoning conforms to the intent and purpose of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
The purpose of the Planned Development district is stated in the UDO as:
“to provide a means of achieving greater flexibility in the development of
land in a manner not always possible in conventional zoning districts; to
encourage a more imaginative and innovative design of projects; to
promote a more desirable community environment; and to retain
maximum control over both the design and future operations of the
development”
The rezoning of the subject property provides a location for a hotel development
that will serve both the existing and future residents and visitors to the area.
The PD-C zoning provides the opportunity to more directly shape the
development use and appearance of this property in accordance with the City’s
design criteria and standards.
C. The proposed rezoning will not have a significant detrimental effect on the long-range
development of adjacent properties or adjacent land uses.
The proposed rezoning will not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent
properties or land uses as it entitles the subject property to commercial uses
that are appropriate for the area along an entry corridor. The proposed use and
the design and layout of the site were considered in light of the property’s
proximity to an intersection along a major street and the surrounding residential
neighborhood, as well as the character of the development already constructed
and the principles of the SAGRC. The PD-C zoning provides the mechanism to
minimize the proposed commercial development’s impacts on the area while
fulfilling the City’s vision for the property.
D. The proposed rezoning constitutes an expansion of an existing zoning district that no
longer meets the demand for the intended land uses.
The existing “LC” Light Commercial zoning is not the ideal zoning district for the
proposed development on the subject property. Rezoning the property to PD-C
will allow the developer the flexibility to meet the needs of the development
while the City can insure that the project is accommodating to the surrounding
neighborhood’s request while enhancing the City’s entryway. The development
will continue to provide the foundation for future commercial developments
along the Annie Glidden Road Corridor.
E. Adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided.
Adequate facilities exist and will be provided to service this redevelopment
project. Existing utilities already serve the site. The site will be able to retain
100% stormwater detention.
STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
General Standards: The approval of the Development Plan may provide for such exception
from the regulations associated with traditional zoning districts as may be necessary or
desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development. However, such
exceptions shall be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the standards contained
in this Section and have been specifically requested in the application for a planned
development; and further, that no planned development shall be allowed which would result in
A. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development
To increase visibility for motorist, the landscaping on the two islands on Knolls
Ave. S. will be modified with low growing plantings. The East island on Knolls
Ave S. will also be modified with a left turn lane that will be able to stack up to
two cars. The left turn lane out of the property will be removed all together so
no traffic from the hotel goes into the subdivision.
B. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major street
network in the vicinity;
A traffic study was conducted at the S. Annie Glidden Road and Knolls Ave S.
intersection and shows that a traffic signal is not warranted with the existing
traffic volumes and projected traffic volumes with the proposed hotel. Other
scenarios such as a strip mall, coffee shop, gas station, or restaurant would cause
more traffic than a hotel.
C. An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection
and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development.
The proposed rezoning will not have any undue impact on public parks,
recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection and other public facilities.
The property taxes from the proposed hotel will inject $160K per year into the
School District.
D. A development which will be incompatible with the intent and purposes of this
Ordinance;
The requested Planned Development Zoning, will allow the City to approve
regulations that will control the zoning, development, maintenance, operations,
and other property improvement related issues.
E. Detrimental impact on surrounding area including, but not limited to, visual pollution;
The proposed zoning and land use are consistent and compatible with the
neighborhood and Comprehensive Plan. A landscape plan and building
renderings were submitted that meet the requirements or will be modified to
meet the requirements in the UDO and approval of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

SOUTH ANNIE GLIDDEN ROAD CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT
6.02.04 General Standards
Rezoning of Lot 302 from LC to PD-C meets the “Zoning District Regulations”.
All access points will be improved with landscaping above and beyond city code and in
regulation with the high standards set by Hilton Hotels. Adding the turning lane to the
East Knolls Island will allow for more fluid traffic flow in and out of the property.
Home2 Suites is one the newest brands created by Hilton and thus its prototypes are
visually striking from both outside and inside the property. We will also keep a uniform
look between the existing Hampton Inn and the new Home2 Suites.
6.02.05 Density and Dimensional Regulations
This project meets the requirements for setbacks for the Annie Glidden Road Yard, Front
Yard, Side Yard, Rear Yard, and Special yard.
The height of the building is set at 45 feet, meeting the requirements of the SAGRC.
There is a small crown located at the front of the building that extends another 8 feet.
This allows access to the roof of the hotel. This crown is based on Hilton’s Home2
prototype plans. If the city will not allow a variance for the crown, we will work with
Hilton to request a variance to remove the crown and have direct access to the roof
from the ceiling of the 4th floor.
6.02.06 Landscaping
This project has met, if not exceeded, all guidelines set forth by the “Landscape
Requirements”. Please refer to the Landscape Plan for full details.
6.02.07 Signage
All signage is in accordance to Article 13, “Signs” ordinance.

663 S. Annie Glidden Road
DeKalb, IL 60115
Re: Home2 Suites by Hilton (SW corner of Knolls Ave S. and S. Annie Glidden Road)
Dear Mr. Patel,
We are in receipt of the Engineering Plans (9 sheets) dated 6/7/18 prepared by Wendler
Engineering, Landscape Plan (5 sheets) dated 6/15/18 prepared by Site to Place, Inc., Photometric
Plan (2 sheets) dated 5/18/18 prepared by F. Gallagher, Exterior Architectural Elevations dated
5/18 prepared by David Jenkins & Associates and other supporting documentation for the above
project and would forward the following comments.
Planning and Zoning
1. Article 5.13.07 (6) of the UDO requires a 50-foot buffer area between any non-residential
use and an adjacent residential district. The definitions for “buffer area” and associated
“screening” are provided in the UDO, Article 3. Article 12.03 5 (a) of the UDO states that
in no instance shall a parking lot be located within a required buffer area. The plans show
parking, an access drive and a trash dumpster/enclosure within 50 feet of the residential
property to the west with the parking lot as close as 15.5 feet to the property line. Strong
consideration should be given to moving the building and associated improvements to
the east, so this 50-foot buffer area can be established.
2. If the buffer area in comment #1 cannot be achieved, we would recommend the eight
parking spaces on the west side of the site and the trash dumpster/enclosure be re-
located to another part of the property. Also, additional landscaping including evergreen
trees should be added to this buffer area to provide adequate screening. The evergreens
should be concentrated in the middle of this area (closest to the home at 1220 Knolls Ave.
S.) and some of the deciduous trees can be moved to the SW corner of the lot. Replace
the three Honeylocust trees with a larger leave tree such as a Maple. We would also
recommend the proposed six-foot-high privacy fence be increased to eight feet and be
changed to a solid white vinyl (or composite) fence. A waiver to the UDO standards for
encroachment into this “buffer area” would have to be requested and noted at the July
18th public hearing.
3. The Floor Area Ration (FAR) in the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor (SAGRC) Overlay
District is .40 (Article 6.02.05.2 of the UDO). The FAR proposed for the subject site
according to the information on the plan is approximately .47. A development bonus to
allow an increase in the FAR of .10 is allowed in commercial zoning districts if six or more
of the performance criteria are met as listed in Article 6.02.09 (2). Please indicate on the
plan the FAR per the definition in the UDO and the documentation indicating the project
is meeting the criteria.
4. The maximum building height in the SAGRC Overlay District is 45 feet, however a 10-foot
increase in the maximum building height is allowed if six or more of the performance
criteria are met as listed in Article 6.02.09 (2). Please submit documentation indicating
the project is meeting the criteria.
5. The architectural guidelines approved as part of Ordinance #12-16 (Hampton Inn) will be
recommended for approval of this request (see attached).
6. The architectural elevation sheet should be revised to indicate the proposed materials
and colors for each portion of the building.
7. The architectural elevations should be revised to include more ornamental features to
the rooftop parapet.
8. As noted previously, foundation plantings should be added in the areas between the
building and parking lot.
9. Additional plantings should be added to the area east of the entrance onto Knolls Ave. S.
10. Article 12.04.3 (e) of the UDO requires a minimum three-foot-high berm along the
frontage of an adjacent street. We would recommend the berm be concentrated along
Knoll Ave. S. across from the lot at 1223 Mason St.
11. Add a shade tree to the east end of the eastern landscape island in Knolls Ave. S. Add a
shade tree to the west end of the western landscape island in Knolls Ave. S.
12. The full parking information should be included on the Cover Sheet to the Engineering
Plans next to the number of parking spaces provided. This should include the number of
parking spaces required based upon the formula in the UDO, which is one space for every
Page |2
sleeping unit, plus one space for every employee on the maximum shift plus one space
for every vehicle customarily used in the operation of the hotel or stored on-site.
13. For Planned Developments, a comprehensive sign plan (ground and wall signs) is required
per Article 5.13.07.4(d).
14. Per Article 10.05 2 (b) of the UDO, the Average Ground Level Foot Candles must be
between 2.0 and 5.0 for commercial zoned properties. The Photometric Plan indicates an
average fc level of 0.9.
15. A pedestrian connection from the hotel parking lot to the existing sidewalk on Knolls Ave.
S. and S. Annie Glidden Road should be made.
16. All mechanical equipment on the ground should be indicated and appropriate screening
provided.
17. Provide a response on how the proposed Planned Development would comply with the
standards in Article 5.13.07 of the UDO.
Engineering
1. Please see attached comments from WBK Engineering dated 7/2/18.
2. The traffic study should be revised based upon the comments from WBK Engineering
dated 4/10/18 (see attached).
DeKalb Park District
1. With the regular turf grass proposed along the entire east end of the property, including
the detention area and storm water coming onto the Districts property, they are
requesting prairie and native plantings throughout their detention and berm areas, rather
than mowed turf. The District’s long-range plans include some form of restoration on the
adjacent property. A map indicating more detail on where the District is requesting the
prairie/native plantings is forthcoming.
2. The District occasionally needs access to the north side of their property and appreciates
the current owners allowance to access it over the subject property. The District requests
an agreement that would allow the District to access their property through the parking
lot of the hotel.
Page |3
Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District
1. Connection to the sewer main will need to be made with a manhole.
2. If there will be a kitchen, an external grease interceptor will be required.
3. Connection Fee of $400/PE, where 1 PE = 100 gal/day, will be required.
4. If the loading will be greater than 15 PE (1,500 gal/day) then an IEPA permit, w/ $1,000
review fee to KWRD, will be required.
5. The contact for the KWRD is Mike Holland, P.E., District Engineer / Asst. District Manager
at (815) 758-3513 or MHolland@kishwrd.com if you would like to discuss their comments
in more detail.

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM CITY STAFF
Planning and Zoning
1. Article 5.13.07 (6) of the UDO requires a 50-foot buffer area between any non-residential use
and an adjacent residential district. The definitions for “buffer area” and associated “screening”

a parking lot be located within a required buffer area. The plans show parking, an access drive
and a trash dumpster/enclosure within 50 feet of the residential property to the west with the
parking lot as close as 15.5 feet to the property line. Strong consideration should be given to
moving the building and associated improvements to the east, so this 50-foot buffer area can
be established.
The building or any of its associated improvements cannot be moved any further to the East
side because the stormwater detention pond would then be in the flood plain. The current
location of the building and its improvements allow for 100% stormwater detention on site.
2. If the buffer area in comment #1 cannot be achieved, we would recommend the eight
parking spaces on the west side of the site and the trash dumpster/enclosure be relocated to
another part of the property. Also, additional landscaping including evergreen trees should be
added to this buffer area to provide adequate screening. The evergreens should be
concentrated in the middle of this area (closest to the home at 1220 Knolls Ave. S.) and some of
the deciduous trees can be moved to the SW corner of the lot. Replace the three Honey locust

foot-high privacy fence be increased to eight feet and be changed to a solid white vinyl (or
composite) fence. A waiver to the UDO standards for encroachment into this “buffer area”
would have to be requested and noted at the July18th public hearing.
The site plan has been updated to show the removal of the eight parking spots to the west
and the relocation of the trash dumpster/enclosure. This updated site plan will be presented
at the July 18th meeting. The landscape plan will be updated to include additional
landscaping including evergreen trees which will be concentrated in the middle of this area
(closest to home at 1220 Knolls Ave S) and the other landscape improvements mentioned
above. The fence will be increased to eight feet and changed to a solid white vinyl (or
composite) fence. A waiver to the UDO standards for encroachment into this “buffer area”
will be requested.
3. The Floor Area Ration (FAR) in the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor (SAGRC) Overlay
District is .40 (Article 6.02.05.2 of the UDO). The FAR proposed for the subject site according to
the information on the plan is approximately .47. A development bonus to allow an increase in

increase in the maximum building height is allowed if six or more of the performance criteria
are met as listed in Article 6.02.09 (2). Please submit documentation indicating the project is
meeting the criteria.
A development bonus will be requested by meeting 6 or more of the performance criteria as
listed in Article 6.02.09 (2).
5. The architectural guidelines approved as part of Ordinance #12-16 (Hampton Inn) will be
recommended for approval of this request (see attached).
The plan for the new Home2 suites is to have the same appearance and materials as the
Hampton Inn as they are both Hilton properties.
6. The architectural elevation sheet should be revised to indicate the proposed materials and
colors for each portion of the building.
We will make the requested change
7. The architectural elevations should be revised to include more ornamental features to the
rooftop parapet.
We are currently in talks with Hilton and the City Engineer to include more ornamental
features.
8. As noted previously, foundation plantings should be added in the areas between the building
and parking lot.
The landscape plan will be updated to include this.
9. Additional plantings should be added to the area east of the entrance onto Knolls Ave. S.
The landscape plan will be updated to include this.
10. Article 12.04.3 (e) of the UDO requires a minimum three-foot-high berm along the frontage
of an adjacent street. We would recommend the berm be concentrated along Knoll Ave. S.
across from the lot at 1223 Mason St.

The Engineering Plans will be updated to reflect this.
13. For Planned Developments, a comprehensive sign plan (ground and wall signs) is required
per Article 5.13.07.4(d).
This will be provided soon.
14. Per Article 10.05 2 (b) of the UDO, the Average Ground Level Foot Candles must be between
2.0 and 5.0 for commercial zoned properties. The Photometric Plan indicates an average fc level
of 0.9.
The Photometric Plan will be updated to reflect this change.
15. A pedestrian connection from the hotel parking lot to the existing sidewalk on Knolls Ave.
S. and S. Annie Glidden Road should be made.
We will make this connection and update the site plan accordingly.
16. All mechanical equipment on the ground should be indicated and appropriate screening
provided.
We will make this connection and update the site plan accordingly.
17. Provide a response on how the proposed Planned Development would comply with the
standards in Article 5.13.07 of the UDO.

Subject: Home 2 Suites (Annie Glidden and Knolls Ave South)– Northern Illinois Hotels LLC
DeKalb (WBK Project No. 17-0144.00034)
Dear Mr. Olson:
WBK Engineering LLC has completed a review of the subject project. The following material
was provided to us for review:
Construction Plans of Home 2 Suites prepared by Wendler Engineering Services dated June
12, 2018 and received and received on June 14, 2018.
Stormwater Detention Calculations prepared by Wendler Engineering Services not dated,
received and received on June 14, 2018.
Traffic Impact Study prepared by KLOA dated March 12, 2018 and received June 14, 2018.
Landscape Improvement Plans prepared by Site to Place, Inc. dated June 15, 2016 and received
June 15, 2016.
The following comments are offered for the petitioner’s consideration and require resolution prior
to our recommendation for approval.
Stormwater Management Report
1. Include a copy of the FEMA regulatory map to document the base flood elevation.
2. Provide a narrative summary of floodplain impacts including calculations or basis for
floodplain fill and compensatory storage.
3. Identify the presence of any wetlands or wetland buffers.
4. Provide a runoff rate for the entire site under existing conditions.
5. Check the rainfall intensities utilized for the Modified Rational Method and please run
them out to a six hour duration event.
6. Since the site has floodplain area that is not being disturbed, the required detention can be
based on the disturbed area of the project.
7. Provide an exhibit that depicts disturbed areas not being routed to the stormwater basin.
Flows from these areas shall be quantified and summed as undetained flows.
8. Provide a summary comparison of current condition flows to post development flows
noting undetained flows from the prior comment and stormwater basin release rate.
9. The restrictor should be reduced to provide the volume required for all disturbed area but
with only the actual tributary area draining through it.
10. The storm sewer may need to be sized for the 100 year event in lieu of overland flow routes.
See comment 10 under engineering plans. If storm sewer is designed for the 100 year event
provide a calculation for depth of inlet ponding.
Final Engineering Construction Plans
1. Sheet C3 – Related to Knolls Avenue South median modifications, note the length of the
left turn bay and taper. Also not the dimension from the existing light pole to the back of
curb.
2. Sheet C3 – We recommend a minimum 20 foot radius on curb returns at the access drive
to Knolls Avenue South.
3. Sheet C3 – Clarify the “barrier curb removal” note if saw cutting the curb head to create
depressed curb and gutter is intended.
4. Sheet C3 – The pavement section in section B-B shall be noted as minimums. The
proposed pavement section shall match the existing pavement section (surface and base
thickness and type).
5. Sheet C 4 – Note the stormwater basin HWL.
6. Sheet C4 – Assuming the proposed fire hydrant is to be public, provide a valve on the 8”
water service pipe just south of the tee for the proposed hydrant. This valve will delineate
public and private responsibilities.
7. Sheet C4 – Call out the water service elevation at the crossing of the proposed storm sewer
to verify separation requirements.
8. Sheet C4 – Number stormwater structures and end sections as well as water valves for
future reference during inspections.
9. Sheet C5 - Note the stormwater basin HWL.
10. Sheet C5 – Designate the limits of the floodplain with a more visible line type (heavy,
dashed, etc.). Also, depict the proposed 850 contour on the plan.
11. Sheet C5 – It does not appear overland flow routes are being provided for routing parking
areas to the stormwater basin. This is acceptable if storm sewer is designed for the 100
year event. Note any pipes designed for the 100 year event. Otherwise, the site grading
shall provide for a clear routing of overland flows to the stormwater basin.
12. Sheet C5 – Identify provisions for access to the stormwater basin for maintenance purposes
or provide a maintenance plan identifying the types of tasks necessary and how the tasks
are accomplished. For example, mowing or burning of native plant material.
13. Sheet C5 – It is noted that fill is being placed up to the west property line directing flows
along the property line versus current conditions. Consider leaving existing grades
unchanged within a five foot setback (or as appropriate) to minimize impact to the adjacent
lot.
14. Sheet C5 – On Section A-A, the embankment for the stormwater basin shall be constructed
of compacted clay and shall note the removal of topsoil under the clay embankment.
15. Sheet C5 – Consider relocating the stormwater control manhole west and adjacent to the
curb and parking lot. This will better facilitate maintenance activities and vactor truck
access.
16. Sheet C6 – The Inverted Pan Curb and Gutter detail shall note the proposed curb shall be
dowelled to the existing curb with two 1/2 inch bars per IDOT detail.
17. Sheet C6 – Add a note to the retaining wall detail stating shop drawings shall be provided
to the City for review prior to construction of the retaining walls.
18. Sheet C7 – Specify pipe material for the stormwater control manhole detail. Provide details
of how the orifice plates are secured to the pipe.
19. Sheet C8 – Add the City standard fire hydrant detail.
Third Party Approvals
1. An IEPA NOI is required prior to construction activities
2. Approval from the Sanitary District is required.
Applicant’s design professionals are responsible for performing and checking all design
computations, dimensions, details, and specifications in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations, and obtaining all permits necessary to complete this work. In no way does this review
relieve applicant’s design professionals of their duties to comply with the law and any applicable

Project: Home2 Suites Planned Development (Preliminary Plan)
Dear Mr. Olson,
We have received final engineering documents for the subject project and the following documents were
reviewed:
• Traffic Study – Traffic Impact Study Proposed Hotel dated March 12, 2018 and received on March
28, 2018.
In general we find the land use code, proposed traffic growth rate of 4%, and procedures used in the traffic
study to be acceptable. The following comments require resolution prior to our recommendation for
approval:
Comment 1: Page 8. Revise the trip generation numbers to match the applicable rates provided for Land
use code 312 in the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th edition. Update corresponding exhibits to reflect
updated trip generation numbers.
Comment 2: Page 11. The site generated weekday midday and evening peak hours volumes have been
switched when compared to Table 2, revise to match.
Comment 3: Page 12. Revise the 115 EBL movements for the weekday midday peak hour based on the
correct estimated 2024 volume. Should be 15 turns based on current information provided in study.
Comment 4, Page 22: WBK agrees with the analysis and recommendations, with the following exceptions:
• The Knolls Avenue South medians’ landscaping should be revised to include vegetation that does
not obstruct the driver’s sight lines.
• Based on the proposed location of the hotel entrance, the intersection sight distance of 335’ is not
provided to the east.
• Based on the proposed entrance location, WBK recommends that the Knolls Avenue north median
be modified to include a dedicated WB left turn lane into the hotel. Approximate dimensions of
50’ storage and 100’ taper lengths will be sufficient.
• New entrance signage should be provided on Knolls Avenue for WB left turns into the hotel.
• Consider a light pole near the entrance near the sidewalk crossing for pedestrians.
• In addition to the note about future landscaping along the south side of Knoll Avenue not
obstructing EB and site traffic, this shall apply to all proposed grading for the sight distance limits
identified in the study as well.
Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Sincerely,

6.02 “SAGRC” South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Overlay District
6.02.01 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of the “SAGRC” South Annie Glidden Road Corridor District is to regulate and set appropriate
limits on all new development in accordance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the South Annie
Glidden Road Corridor Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Corridor Plan”) as adopted by the City Council
on January 22, 1990, to:
1. Ensure that the Corridor's future land uses and residential densities are properly located and are
appropriately mixed to reflect the types and styles of land uses and densities that are encouraged
to develop in the City of DeKalb.
2. Ensure South Annie Glidden Road and all other existing and future streets within the Corridor
provide for safe, efficient, and non-congested vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow.
3. Encourage all new construction to develop in a visually and aesthetically pleasing manner that
contributes toward ensuring South Annie Glidden Road's role as the signature street of the City of
DeKalb.
4. Preserve and protect the Corridor's floodplain and other natural areas from the intrusion of
incompatible development.
5. Provide for man-made and natural areas to serve as both open space areas and as a means to
convey and temporarily hold the Corridor's stormwater flow.
6.02.02 Applicability
The South Annie Glidden Road Corridor District regulations apply to all new development within the
Planning Area of the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Plan as delineated on the Official Zoning Map.
Any additions or modifications to buildings or structures existing on or before the adoption of this Ordinance
are not subject to these regulations. Persons owning property adjacent to the Planning Area may petition
the City Council at any time for inclusion of their property into the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor
District using those procedures required for a rezoning (see Article 20, “Amendments”).
6.02.03 Scope of Provisions
This section contains the regulations for the “SAGRC” South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Overlay District.
Property zoned “SAGRC” is also zoned under another applicable district governed by this Ordinance. Land
encumbered by this District may be used in a manner permitted in the underlying district only if, and to, the
extent permitted in the “SAGRC” Overlay District. This Article controls in case of any conflict between the
regulations contained in this Article and the regulations otherwise applicable to any property by virtue of its
“underlying” zoning.
6.02.04 General Standards
Within the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Overlay District, the following standards shall apply:
1. Except as otherwise specified in this Section, uses permitted to be made of property in the Corridor
Overlay District are those uses permitted by the property's zoning district classification as defined
in Sections 5.01 through 5.13 of Article 5, “Zoning District Regulations.”
2. The maximum density for residential development shall be twelve (12) dwelling units per net acre.
A net acre shall be an amount of land less than that acreage devoted to public street surfaces and
public or private rights-of-way as defined elsewhere in this Ordinance.
6-3
3. All access to South Annie Glidden Road shall be by means of one or more points of access only
when they are located in reasonable proximity to those points of access shown on the Street and
Access Plan map in the Corridor Plan. In no instance shall a point of access be located closer than
six hundred sixty (660) feet to any other point of access on the same side of South Annie Glidden
Road. Points of access on opposite sides of South Annie Glidden Road shall be directly opposed
to one another and shall not be offset. All access points shall be designed for shared use by
adjacent properties. as anticipated in the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Plan and as
recommended by the City Engineer and/or designee.
All access points to Annie Glidden Road shall be improved with landscaping islands and entry
features that complement the landscaping design concept for the South Annie Glidden Road
Corridor.
4. Except for off-street parking and loading, all business, servicing, and processing uses, and the
storage and display of merchandise whether or not intended for sale to the public, shall occur only
within completely enclosed buildings.
5. All on-site utilities shall be located underground per Article 10, “Utilities,” of this Ordinance,
regardless of the use or uses served.
6. The development shall include highly innovative architectural, site planning and land use design of
a caliber not commonly used in DeKalb and of such quality as to set an excellent example for
further development in this Overlay Corridor.
6.02.05 Density and Dimensional Regulations
1. Building and Structure Setback Requirements: In the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Overlay
District, the following setbacks are required:
a. Annie Glidden Road Yard: No building, fence or structure of any sort shall be allowed within
forty (40) feet of the Annie Glidden Road right-of-way, unless otherwise allowed or required
herein. In no case shall this required yard be reduced or waived as part of any of the bonus
incentives provided herein, except for legal lots of record platted prior to this amendatory act
of 2003.
b. Front Yard: No building, fence or structure of any sort shall be allowed within forty (40) feet of
any roadway right-of-way line, unless otherwise allowed or required herein.
c. Side Yard: No principal building or structure shall be allowed within ten (10) feet of the side
property lines.
d. Rear Yard: No principal building or structure shall be allowed within thirty (30) feet of the rear
property line.
e. Special Yard: Where a side or rear yard of property in a non-residential zoning district abuts a
residential zoning district, building or structure setbacks in the non-residential zoning district
shall be in accordance with the applicable underlying zoning district regulations. Also, see
Article 7, “Supplemental District Regulations” for landscape buffer requirements.
f. Building Height Limitations: In the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Overlay District,
buildings shall have a maximum height equal to or less than one-half (1/2) of the distance said
building is located from the edge of the right-of-way of the Planning Area's arterial streets, as
shown on the Street and Access Plan Map in the Corridor Plan. In no instance shall a building
exceed the following:
6-4
1) In residential zoning districts, all buildings shall have a maximum height of thirty-five (35)
feet.
2) In non-residential zoning districts, all building shall have a maximum height of forty-five
(45) feet.
2. Floor Area Ratio Requirements: In lieu of maximum site coverage requirements contained in the
underlying zoning districts, site development intensity in the SAGRC Overlay District is controlled
by floor area ratio requirements. For purposes of this Section, floor area ratio is the ratio of a
building's gross above-grade floor area (inclusive of garages, accessory buildings, etc.) to the lot
area on which said building is located. In addition to using lot area, the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council may also allow the use of common and open space areas as credit
toward a floor area ratio requirement of a building. Said areas must be located adjacent or in close
proximity to a building and must be designed to help offset what would otherwise be the appearance
of a building with excessive bulk and lot coverage. Floor area ratio requirements are as follows:
a. For duplex and multiple family dwellings of two stories in height or less, the floor area ratio shall
not exceed .25.
b. For multiple family dwellings greater than two stories, the floor area ratio shall not exceed .40.
c. For all non-residential buildings, the floor area ratio shall not exceed .40.
6.02.06 Landscaping
All developments and parking lots shall be landscaped in accordance with the definitions and maintenance
regulations specified in Section 12.04, “Landscape Requirements,” of this Ordinance. In addition,
developments shall be landscaped as follows:

of parking lots located within this required yard. The area of this required yard shall be landscaped
in accordance with the following:
a. The required yard shall be landscaped with trees that are planted in a row lying parallel to
South Annie Glidden Road and have a consistent spacing of not less than thirty (30) feet on-

this requirement, as otherwise specified in Section 12.04, “Landscape Requirements,” shall not
be permitted.
b. The required yard shall be landscaped with a mix of shrubs and/or ground cover. There shall
be planted four (4) shrubs for every thirty (30) feet of frontage. Strategic grouping of shrubs
and/or ground cover is permitted. Exceptions to this requirement, as otherwise specified in
Section 12.04, “Landscape Requirements,” shall not be permitted.
c. Where a parking lot would otherwise be visible from South Annie Glidden Road, this required
yard shall have placed within it either one or a combination of the following:
1) A landscaped earthen berm not less than three (3) feet in height, as measured from the
grade of the adjacent parking lot, and having slopes not steeper than the ratio of 1:3.
2) A neat, clean, and maintained decorative and opaque fence or wall not less than three (3)
feet in height, nor greater than forty-two (42) inches, as measured from the grade of the
adjacent parking lot. This option is only feasible when the parking lot location is outside of
6-5
the forty foot required setback area along South Annie Glidden Road. Said fence or wall
shall be constructed of materials and finished in colors which match the principal building(s)
on the site.
3) A dense, compactly planted evergreen hedge not less than three (3) feet in height at the
time of planting, as measured from the grade of the adjacent parking lot. The hedge shall
be neatly maintained at a height not less than three (3) feet (thirty-six (36) inches) and not
exceeding forty-two (42) inches.
2. Landscaping Requirements for Parking Lots: Where a parking lot of any size serving any multiple
family residential, commercial, industrial or institutional land use is wholly or partially visible from
an adjacent public or private street, it shall be landscaped with perimeter and interior landscaping
with the quantities and specifications otherwise set forth in Section 12.04, “Landscape
Requirements.”
6.02.07 Signage
Regulations for the number, size, type, height, and location of signs shall be those regulations as provided
in Article 13, “Signs,” of this Ordinance, except that the following shall apply in the South Annie Glidden
Road Corridor Overlay District:
1. Ground signs, as defined in Article 13, shall be further regulated as follows:
a. The height of a ground sign shall not exceed the greater of either ten (10) feet or a height that
is one-half (1/2) the numerical distance the sign is placed from the edge of the public right-of-
way. Except as provided otherwise in this Section, a ground sign shall not exceed the lesser of
thirty (30) feet in height or five (5) feet above the height of the primary building in which occurs
the activity that the sign advertises.
b. All ground signs shall have a base or supporting structure of not less than the width of the sign,

of the sign if the sign is greater than fifteen feet in height. The sign base and all related visible
structural sign elements shall be constructed of materials and finished with colors that match
the principal building.
c. All ground signs shall be surrounded by decorative landscaping at the base following the intent
of the Landscaping Requirement for this corridor.
d. All signage shall be constructed of natural or natural-looking materials and subdued colors.

except that the following shall apply in the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor District:
1. A subdivision of land that abuts the right-of-way of South Annie Glidden Road shall not result in
lots having less than six hundred sixty (660) feet of frontage along said right-of-way. However, after
receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council may allow
a subdivision having lots with a lesser frontage if it is satisfactorily demonstrated to them, on an
approved preliminary plat or an approved preliminary plan for a planned development, that the lots
will be accessed by driveways and/or publicly dedicated streets that intersect South Annie Glidden
Road at locations having reasonable proximity to those points of access shown on the Street and
Access Plan Map in the Corridor Plan.
6-6
2. When a subdivision of land is adjacent to the right-of-way of an existing or proposed collector or
arterial street, as shown on the Street and Access Plan Map in the Corridor Plan, then the sub-
divider shall dedicate as a part of the subdivision the following amount of public right-of-way:
a. A proportionate share of a full seventy (70) foot right-of-way when the subdivision is adjacent
to an existing or proposed collector street.
b. A proportionate share of a full one hundred (100) foot right-of-way when the subdivision is
adjacent to an existing or proposed arterial street.
c. A proportionate share of the full one hundred ten (110) foot right-of-way, and accompanying
landscaping easements, as set forth in the South Annie Glidden Road Corridor Preliminary

Mr. Olson, in regards to the hotel project rezoning and approval there are several issues that
need addressing not the least of which being the total disregard of the residents nearby.
Why was our aldermen not included in the planning stages.
Why every time a picture of the area is used it shows the playground in its old location not
right across from the proposed entrance.
Why is the entrance going to be on Knolls south and has anyone even thought to do a traffic
study.
Why would you allow a left turn leaving the hotel allowing traffic to go through a residential
area including delivery trucks and trucks bringing equipment and materials to build the hotel.
Why rezoning the property for a multi-story building across from a major flood plain.
What about the effect on the areas wildlife.
There are many more issues to this project but the bottom line is why is it necessary to build it
in this property which is not made for such a project.
By the way how much of a tax break and who is paying for all the necessary infrastructure.
With all due respect

Mr. Olson,
Thank you again for making our comments part of the public record.
I do know that the request for all comments were due last Wednesday; however, as there was a
meeting held last Saturday morning with Mike Verbic, I have a few more thoughts/concerns:
Mr. Verbic stated that the research he had done regarding hotels built in neighborhoods
showed that the property values decreased for 10-15 years. I implore you to ask the committee
how they would feel having a property built less than 250ft from their property, guaranteeing
their property values will go down, yet there are many other locations available on Lincoln
Highway that are not in a neighborhood.
I do also have a quick question: if the zoning committee were to re-zone an area, how can a
citizen request that be considered?
Thank you again for your time and consideration,

[NOTICE: This message originated outside of the City Of DeKalb mail system -- DO NOT
CLICK on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.]
Mr. Olson,
Thank you for taking the time to read these comments. As residents who live within the
250ft radius of the potential property, we do not support this proposal for the following
reasons:
1. There is a very close property around the corner that is for sale that could be renovated to
meet the Home2Suites' needs.
2. The space is currently home to a lot of wildlife that is much more enjoyable to walk
around and see instead of another hotel. We understand that this is zoned for commercial
use, however, it is great to be able to point out beavers, muskrats, deer, and other wildlife
that would no longer reside there if the hotel is built. Once that ecosystem is destroyed, it
cannot come back to the way it was.
3. The Hampton Inn is very rarely full. As a resident who is directly behind the Hampton
Inn, I rarely see the hotel parking lot full except during graduation season and have a hard
time believing that there is truly a need for this additional business- especially when there is
another property already available.
4. We are concerned about resale value for our property. Right now, we have a hotel directly
behind us, but there is a pond between our properties. If this additional hotel gets built, we
have a hard time believing that we will find buyers that would be willing to pay a decent
price. I would not purchase a property so close to 2 hotels.
We implore you to take a look at other locations for the Home2Suites Hotel and please
consider the residents (human and wildlife) that would not benefit from this development.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Kyle & Sydney Zuhn

Dear Jason,
The mission of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce is to serve and advance the business interests of the greater DeKalb
region. Activity that will help the area provide additional jobs, tax dollars and amenities to the area is something that we
support as our mission states.
The discussion of a new hotel near the current Hampton Inn would fit that description. The addition of the Hampton Inn
provided full and part time positions, added to our tax base and increased the number of quality hotel rooms in our
area. With larger events in the area, that brings more people to stay and spend dollars locally. Not only does the hotel
benefit but so do area restaurants, retail stores, gas stations and more.
The more business we can bring to our community, the greater our entire business community will be. This will also help
with the probability of increased jobs, business expansions and new businesses looking to be in DeKalb. The economic
vitality of our entire community needs to build on the current positive trend that we’re seeing and now is the time to
move forward with improvements to provide additional activity.
The proximity to Northern Illinois University is also key for events at NIU. Adding a new business as people enter our
community from I-88 also provides a positive image that our community is continuing to improve and expand. We need
to continue to build on making the image of DeKalb one that we are all proud of for this great community.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me directly at 815-766-3641 or

Good Afternoon Dan, Tony, and Mike,
I saw the hotel proposal on the Plan Commission agenda and wanted to extend my support for
the development. I think it would be a good addition and great location for another hotel.
Perhaps this could spark the development of a future breakfast restaurant in one of the empty
Schunk's lots.
If the development moves forward I would ask that consideration be given to modifying the
landscaping in the island of Knolls South at the intersection with Annie Glidden. That is one
of my routes for running and I am always very cautious because motorists pull past the stop
bar and sidewalk to see oncoming vehicular traffic but do not always think to stop for
pedestrians. I frequently end up running behind a car that has blocked the crosswalk.
Thanks for your service.

Mike,
Please consider all options before you vote on this hotel.
What industries are bringing multiple night business to DeKalb? How will this effect Lincoln
Hwy.? If in 5 years the city infrastructure continues to decline , what guarentee do we have
that this too will not be converted to section 8 housing? The hotel at that point would further
drive down this community.
On another note. While driving down west Lincoln, heading east and turning south on Annie
Glidden, i noticed the weeds that are over whelming on almost every inch of each side of the
road, and the islands. What message does that give to anyone living or visiting here. Are the
land lords not held accountable?

Mr. Verbic,
We are residents of the knolls. My wife and I are against the proposed hotel development for
the following reasons. First the increased traffic wil make the intersection more congested. At
times the wait at the intersection is in the minutes. This would only increase the traffic.
The proposed hotel provides very little utility to the subdivision. A convenience store or
restaurant would be better for the community.
The size of the building is not right for the area. A 4 story building between 2 city parks is not
desirable.
There is a condemned hotel down the road. Build it there.
Anyway that's enough for now. Please keep me updated on any developments on the
proposal.
Thank you,

Traffic Impact Study
Proposed Hotel
DeKalb, Illinois
Prepared For:
July 30, 2018
1. Introduction
This report summarizes the methodologies, results, and findings of a traffic impact study
conducted by Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for a proposed hotel to be
located in DeKalb, Illinois. The site, which is currently vacant, is located in the southwest corner
of the intersection of Annie Glidden Road with Knolls Avenue South. As proposed, the
development will contain a hotel with 90 rooms and 100 off-street parking spaces. Access to the
development will be provided via a proposed restricted right-turn in, left-turn in, and right-turn
out access drive on Knolls Avenue South.
The purpose of this study was to examine background traffic conditions, assess the impact that
the proposed development will have on traffic conditions in the area, and determine if any
roadway or access improvements are necessary to accommodate traffic generated by the
proposed development. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to the area roadway
system. Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the site area.
The sections of this report present the following:
• Existing roadway conditions
• A description of the proposed development
• Directional distribution of the development traffic
• Vehicle trip generation for the development
• Future traffic conditions including access to the development
• Traffic analyses for the weekday morning, weekday midday, weekday evening, and
Saturday midday peak hours
• Recommendations with respect to adequacy of the site access and adjacent roadway
system
Traffic capacity analyses were conducted for the weekday morning, weekday midday, weekday
evening, and Saturday midday peak hours for the following conditions:
1. Existing Conditions - Analyzes the capacity of the existing roadway system using existing
peak hour traffic volumes in the surrounding area.
2. Projected Conditions – Analyzes the capacity of the future roadway system using the
projected traffic volumes that include the existing traffic volumes, ambient area growth
not attributable to any particular development, and the traffic estimated to be generated by
the full buildout of the proposed development.

2. Existing Conditions
Existing transportation conditions in the vicinity of the site were documented based on field
visits conducted by KLOA, Inc. in order to obtain a database for projecting future conditions.
The following provides a description of the geographical location of the site, physical
characteristics of the area roadway system including lane usage and traffic control devices, and
existing peak hour traffic volumes.
Site Location
The site is located in the southwest corner of the intersection of Annie Glidden Road with Knolls
Avenue South. Land uses within the vicinity of the site are primarily residential with The Knolls
subdivision bordering the site to the north and west and a Hampton Inn hotel bordering the site to
the south. Northern Illinois University is located north of the site.
Existing Roadway System Characteristics
The characteristics of the existing roadways near the development are described below and
illustrated in Figure 3.
Annie Glidden Road is a north-south, minor arterial roadway that provides two lanes in each
direction. At its unsignalized intersection with Knolls Avenue South, Annie Glidden Road has an
exclusive left-turn lane and two through lanes on the northbound approach and two through lanes
and an exclusive right-turn lane on the southbound approach. On-street parking is prohibited on
both sides of the road. Annie Glidden Road is under the jurisdiction of the City of DeKalb, has a
posted speed limit of 40 mph, and carries an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volume of
15,700 (IDOT 2013) vehicles.
Knolls Avenue South is a generally an east-west, local road that has one lane in each direction. At
its “T” intersection with Annie Glidden Road, Knolls Avenue South provides one inbound lane
and two outbound lanes separated by a median. The outbound lanes are striped for an exclusive
left-turn lane and an exclusive right-turn lane and are under stop sign control. Parking is
generally permitted on both sides of the street. Knolls Avenue South has a posted speed limit of
25 mph and is under the jurisdiction of the City of DeKalb.

Existing Traffic Volumes
In order to determine current traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site, KLOA, Inc. conducted
peak period traffic counts using Miovision Scout Collection Units at the intersection of Annie
Glidden Road with Knolls Avenue South. The traffic counts were performed on Thursday,
February 15, 2018 from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and on Saturday, February 24, 2018 from noon
to 2:00 P.M. The results of the traffic counts showed that the weekday morning peak hour
occurred from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M., the weekday midday peak hour occurred from 12:00
P.M. to 1:00 P.M., the weekday evening peak hour occurred from 4:15 P.M. to 5:15 P.M., and
the Saturday midday peak hour occurred from 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M. Figure 4 illustrates the
existing peak hour traffic volumes. Copies of the traffic count summary sheets are included in
the Appendix.
Crash Analysis
KLOA, Inc. obtained accident data for the most recent available past five years (2011 to 2015)
for the intersection of Annie Glidden Road with Knolls Avenue South. Table 1 shows a
summary of the accident data. A review of the accident data revealed there were no fatal
accidents during the reviewed period.

3. Traffic Characteristics of the Proposed Development
In order to properly evaluate future traffic conditions in the surrounding area, it was necessary to
determine the traffic characteristics of the proposed development, including the directional
distribution and volumes of traffic that it will generate.
Proposed Site and Development Plan
As proposed, the development is to consist of a 90-room business hotel with 100 parking spaces.
The hotel will provide limited amenities and will not include a restaurant. Access to the
development is proposed to be provided via one access drive located on the south side of Knolls
Avenue South approximately 240 feet west of Annie Glidden Road at the location of the existing
median break along Knolls Avenue South. This access drive will be restricted to right turns in,
left turns in, and right turns out. As proposed, the access drive is to provide one inbound lane and
one outbound lane with the outbound lane striped and signed for right turns only. The outbound
lane will be under stop sign control. A separate left-turn lane will be provided in the median
along Knolls Avenue South serving the access drive. A copy of the site plan is located in the
Appendix.
Directional Distribution
The directions from which guests, visitors, and employees will approach and depart the
development were estimated based on the existing travel patterns, as determined from the traffic
counts. Figure 5 illustrates the directional distribution of the development-generated traffic.
Peak Hour Traffic Volumes
The number of peak hour vehicle trips estimated to be generated by the proposed hotel was based
on the Business Hotel (Land-Use Code 312) trip generation rates contained in Trip Generation
Manual, 10th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Table 2 shows
the estimated peak hour traffic to be generated by the proposed hotel during the peak hours.

Since weekday midday peak hour rates are not provided in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, the weekday midday
peak hour volumes were determined based on the Saturday midday peak hour rates.

4. Projected Traffic Conditions
The total projected traffic volumes include the existing traffic volumes, increase in background
traffic due to growth, and the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed subject
development.
Development Traffic Assignment
The estimated peak hour traffic volumes that will be generated by the proposed development
were assigned to the roadway system in accordance with the previously described directional
distribution (Figure 5). The traffic assignment for the development is illustrated in Figure 6.
Background Traffic Conditions
The existing traffic volumes (Figure 4) were increased by a regional growth factor to account for
the increase in existing traffic related to regional growth in the area (i.e., not attributable to any
particular planned development). Based on IDOT historic AADT volumes, Annie Glidden Road
has experienced approximately four percent growth per year within the vicinity of the site. As
such, the Annie Glidden Road through traffic volumes were increased by 24 percent (one-year
buildout plus five years) to represent Year 2024 conditions.
Total Projected Traffic Volumes
The development-generated traffic was added to the existing traffic volumes accounting for
background growth to determine the Year 2024 total projected traffic volumes, as shown in
Figure 7.

5. Traffic Analysis and Recommendations
The following provides an evaluation conducted for the peak hours. The analysis includes
conducting capacity analyses to determine how well the roadway system and access drive are
projected to operate and whether any roadway improvements or modifications are required.
Traffic Analyses
Roadway and adjacent or nearby intersection analyses were performed for the peak hours for the
existing (Year 2018) as well as future projected (Year 2024) traffic volumes.
The traffic analyses were performed using the methodologies outlined in the Transportation
Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 6th edition and analyzed using the
Synchro/SimTraffic 9 software.
The analyses for the unsignalized intersections determine the average control delay to vehicles at
an intersection. Control delay is the elapsed time from a vehicle joining the queue at a stop sign
(includes the time required to decelerate to a stop) until its departure from the stop sign and
resumption of free flow speed. The methodology analyzes each intersection approach controlled
by a stop sign and considers traffic volumes on all approaches and lane characteristics.
The ability of an intersection to accommodate traffic flow is expressed in terms of level of
service, which is assigned a letter from A to F based on the average control delay experienced by
vehicles passing through the intersection. The Highway Capacity Manual definitions for levels
of service and the corresponding control delay for signalized intersections and unsignalized
intersections are included in the Appendix of this report.
Summaries of the traffic analysis results showing the level of service and overall intersection
delay (measured in seconds) for the existing and Year 2024 total projected conditions are
presented in Tables 3 and 4. A discussion of the intersections follows. Summary sheets for the
capacity analyses are included in the Appendix.

Discussion and Recommendations
The following summarizes how the intersections are projected to operate and identifies any
roadway and traffic control improvements necessary to accommodate the development-generated
traffic.
Annie Glidden Road with Knolls Avenue South
The results of the capacity analyses indicate that all of the critical movements currently operate
at a Level of Service (LOS) C or better during all four peak hours. Under future conditions, all
the critical movements are projected to continue to operate at LOS C or better during all four
peak hours except the Knolls Avenue South left-turn movement. During the weekday morning,
weekday evening, and Saturday midday peak hours, the Knolls Avenue South left-turn
movement is projected to operate at LOS D. It should be noted that to provide a worst-case
analysis, the capacity analyses were performed assuming that none of the left-turn movements
will be completed using the median (two-stage left-turn movement) along Annie Glidden Road.
Further, with the growth in traffic along Annie Glidden Road, the left-turn movement is
projected to operate at LOS D with or without the hotel.
Overall, the intersection is currently and projected to continue experiencing limited delay and
queueing. Further, the accident data shows that the intersection has experienced a very low
number of accidents (six total accidents over a five-year period). In addition, a traffic signal
analysis presented later in the traffic study shows that a traffic signal is not warranted at this
intersection under existing or future conditions. As such, the unsignalized intersection has
sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the additional traffic to be generated by the hotel and
no roadway or traffic control improvements are required.
Knolls Avenue South Access Drive
Access to the development is proposed to be provided via one access drive located on the south
side of Knolls Avenue South approximately 240 feet west of Annie Glidden Road at the location
of the existing median break along Knolls Avenue South. This access drive will be restricted via
signage and striping to right turns in, left turns in, and right turns out only. Given the provision
of the median break along Knolls Avenue South, it appears that access to the subject site was
planned and Knolls Avenue South was designed and constructed assuming access to the subject
site opposite the median break. As proposed, the access drive is to provide one inbound lane and
one outbound lane with the outbound lane signed and striped for right-turn movements only. The
outbound lane will be under stop sign control. In addition, a separate left-turn lane will be
provided within the existing Knolls Avenue South median serving the proposed access drive.
The following summarizes the results of the capacity analyses:
• The critical movements to and from the access drive are projected to operate at LOS A.
As such, the critical movements are projected to operate very well with limited delay and
queueing.
Proposed Hotel
DeKalb, Illinois 15
• The inbound left-turn movement is projected to have a maximum queue of one vehicle.
This is due to the low volume of traffic along Knolls Avenue South and projected to be
generated by the proposed development. As such, the proposed left-turn lane will be
sufficient to accommodate the peak queue of the inbound left-turn movements.
• The results of the capacity analyses and field observations show that the Knolls Avenue
South approach at Annie Glidden Road experiences limited queuing with a projected
maximum queue of one to two vehicles. As such, the queue of vehicles along Knolls
Avenue South at its intersection with Annie Glidden Road will not extend to the location
of the access drive.
Therefore, other than cutting back, replacing, and/or eliminating the landscaping in the median
and the left-turn lane on Knolls Avenue South, no other additional improvements are required
along Knolls Avenue South to accommodate the access drive and the development-generated
traffic.
Sight Distance Analysis
In order to determine if the access drive is located to provide appropriate sight distance along
Knolls Avenue South, a horizontal sight distance analysis was performed based on the location
of the access drive. (Since left-turn out movements will be prohibited from the development,
only a sight distance looking west along Knolls Avenue South was required.) The sight distance
analysis is located in the Appendix. While intersection sight distance is desirable, A Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (Green Book) published by the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) indicates that, at a
minimum, the location of a side road or access road must meet the minimum stopping sight
distance requirements.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau of Design and
Environment (BDE) Manual and the Green Book, the minimum stopping sight distance is 200
feet and the minimum intersection sight distance is 335 feet for a 30 mph design speed (posted
speed limit plus five mph). The 30 mph design speed provides for a worst-case analysis as
eastbound Knolls Avenue South traffic is likely traveling at maximum speeds lower than 30
mph, given the curve in the road and that eastbound Knolls Avenue South traffic has to stop at
Annie Glidden Road just east of the curve. As such, the minimum sight distance requirement for
the access drive is likely less than that used for the sight distance analysis. The following
summarizes the results of the sight distance analysis:
• The location of the access drive meets and exceeds the minimum stopping sight distance
requirements for a 30 mph design speed. Further, the driver's line of sight is generally
within the Knolls Avenue South’s right-of-way and is generally perpendicular to the
vehicle. As such, the driver does not have to look over their shoulder to meet the
minimum sight distance requirements.
Proposed Hotel
DeKalb, Illinois 16
• The location of the access drive meets the minimum intersection sight distance
requirements for a 30 mph design speed. However, the driver's line of sight extends
through the north portion of the subject site, which will remain as green space, and the
driver has to look over their shoulder to meet the minimum intersection sight distance.
As can be seen from the sight distance analysis, the design and location of the access drive meets
and exceeds the minimum sight distance requirements. Further, the following should be noted
regarding the sight distance analysis and the location of the access drive:
• The location of the access drive provides the greatest amount of sight distance as it is
located at the end of the roadway curve. Given the design of the curve, moving the access
drive further northwest along the curve only reduces the available sight distance.
• Given the provision of the median break along Knolls Avenue South, it appears that
access to the subject site was anticipated to be located opposite the median break. As
such, Knolls Avenue South was likely designed and constructed to provide adequate sight
distance to accommodate an access drive opposite the median break.
• The location of the access drive on the end of a curve and the available sight distance is
similar to several other cross roads within the neighborhood including Deerpath Lane’s
two intersections with Knolls Avenue North and Dogwood Lane’s intersection with
Knolls Avenue North.
• Given the setback of the proposed hotel building and parking lot from Knolls Avenue
South and that no landscaping is provided along Knolls Avenue South or within the
subject site, traffic exiting the access drive and eastbound Knolls Avenue South traffic
will have a clear and unobstructed view of one another.
While the location of the access drive meets and exceeds the minimum sight distance
requirements and is similar to other intersections within the neighborhood, the following
recommendations should be implemented to ensure the minimum sight distance requirements are
met and to enhance the operation of the access drive:
• The landscaping in the Knolls Avenue South median must be cut back, replaced, and/or
eliminated so that the westbound Knolls Avenue South traffic and the traffic exiting the
access drive have a clear and unobstructed view of one another.
• Any landscaping installed along the south side of the Knolls Avenue South’s right-of-
way and/or within the northern portion of the property should be at an appropriate height
so that the eastbound Knolls Avenue South traffic and the traffic exiting the access drive
have a clear and unobstructed view of one another.
• Consideration should be given to installing an “Intersection Ahead” warning sign on
Knolls Avenue South just northeast of Mason Street.

Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
Per the request of the City of DeKalb, a traffic signal warrant study was conducted at the
intersection of Annie Glidden Road with Knolls Avenue South. Installation of a traffic signal
requires that one or more of the nine signal warrants outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD 2009) is met. Since there is limited pedestrian activity in the area and
no school is near this intersection, only the traffic volume warrants (Warrant 1A, Warrant 1B,
Combination Warrant 1A and 1B, Warrant 2, and Warrant 3) were analyzed as part of this study.
Existing Conditions
Annie Glidden Road has a posted speed limit of 40 mph and provides two through lanes in each
direction with an exclusive left-turn lane and right-turn lane serving Knolls Avenue South. At its
intersection with Annie Glidden Road, Knolls Avenue South provides an exclusive left-turn lane
and an exclusive right-turn lane. The existing traffic volumes at the Annie Glidden Road/Knolls
Avenue South intersection were determined based on the 12-hour traffic counts conducted in
February 2018. Table 5 shows the existing hourly traffic counts at the subject intersection.
Projected Traffic Volumes
The hourly traffic to be generated by the proposed hotel was determined based on the Business
Hotel (Land-Use Code 312) trip generation rates and hourly distribution tables provided in the
ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. Table 6 shows the hourly traffic to be generated by
the proposed hotel at the subject intersection.
Summary of Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
Table 7 summarizes the total projected hourly two-way traffic volumes on Annie Glidden Road
(major street) and the projected hourly traffic volumes on the Knolls Avenue South approach
(minor street). Since Annie Glidden Road has a posted speed limit of 40 mph, the 70 percent
factored warrants were used for the traffic signal warrant analysis. The results of the warrant
analysis are provided in the Appendix. When the projected traffic volumes at the subject
intersection are compared with those required by the warrants, it can be seen that the intersection
does not meet any of the following traffic volume warrants:
• Warrant 1A - Eight-Hour Volumes
• Warrant 1B - Eight Hour Warrant
• Combination Warrant 1A and 1B - Eight-Hour Warrant
• Warrant 2 - Four Hour Volumes
• Warrant 3 - Peak Hour Volume
As such, it can be seen that a traffic signal is not warranted with existing traffic volumes or
projected traffic volumes with the proposed hotel. Further, it is important to note that the
capacity analyses have shown that all of the critical movements at this intersection are projected
to operate at a good level of service under the existing stop sign control. Further, the intersection
has experienced a very low number of accidents.

6. Conclusion
Based on the preceding analyses and recommendations, the following conclusions have been
made:
• Access to the development is proposed to be provided via one access drive located on the
south side of Knolls Avenue South approximately 240 feet west of Annie Glidden Road
at the location of the existing median break along Knolls Avenue South. The access drive
will be restricted to right-turn in, left-turn in, and right-turn out movements only. Given
the provision of a median break on Knolls Avenue South, it appears that access to the
subject site was planned and that Knolls Avenue South was designed and constructed
assuming access to the subject site opposite the median break.
• The location of the access drive meets and exceeds the minimum sight distance
requirements and is similar to other intersections within the neighborhood. Nevertheless,
the following recommendations should be implemented to ensure the minimum sight
distance requirements are met and to enhance the operation of the access drive:
o The landscaping in the Knolls Avenue South median must be cut back, replaced,
and/or eliminated so that the westbound Knolls Avenue South traffic and the
traffic exiting the access drive have a clear and unobstructed view of one another.
o Any landscaping installed along the south side of the Knolls Avenue South’s
right-of-way and/or within the northern portion of the property should be at an
appropriate height so that the eastbound Knolls Avenue South traffic and the
traffic exiting the access drive have a clear and unobstructed view of one another.
o Consideration should be given to installing an “Intersection Ahead” warning sign
on Knolls Avenue South just northeast of Mason Street.
• The access drive is to provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound
lane signed and striped for right-turn movements only. The outbound lane will be under
stop sign control. A separate left-turn lane will be provided within the median along
Knolls Avenue South serving the access drive.
• The results of the capacity analysis indicate that the critical movements at the
intersections of Annie Glidden Road/Knolls Avenue South and Knolls Avenue
South/access drive are projected to operate at good levels of service. As such, the
roadway system has adequate reserve capacity to accommodate the hotel-generated
traffic and, other than the sight distance recommendations, no additional roadway or
traffic control improvements are required.
• The results of the traffic signal warrant analysis conducted at the Annie Glidden Road
and Knolls Avenue South intersection shows that a traffic signal is not warranted under
existing or projected conditions.

Level of Delay
Service Interpretation (seconds per vehicle)
A Favorable progression. Most vehicles arrive during the 10
green indication and travel through the intersection without
stopping.
B Good progression, with more vehicles stopping than for >10 - 20
Level of Service A.
C Individual cycle failures (i.e., one or more queued vehicles >20 - 35
are not able to depart as a result of insufficient capacity
during the cycle) may begin to appear. Number of vehicles
stopping is significant, although many vehicles still pass
through the intersection without stopping.
D The volume-to-capacity ratio is high and either progression >35 - 55
is ineffective or the cycle length is too long. Many vehicles
stop and individual cycle failures are noticeable.
E Progression is unfavorable. The volume-to-capacity ratio >55 - 80
is high and the cycle length is long. Individual cycle
failures are frequent.
F The volume-to-capacity ratio is very high, progression is >80.0
very poor, and the cycle length is long. Most cycles fail to
clear the queue.
