Trustee Liaison Report: Trustee Desai Bhagwakar reported that the Village has approved a consultant to assist with updating the zoning codes. She also noted that the Village Board held a strategic planning session with a consultant earlier in the week to discuss goals over the 10-year, 5-year, and 3-year planning periods, and that this process is ongoing. Additionally, she shared that the Village hosted an e-bike workshop the previous evening, which generated significant discussion. Staff Liaison Barrett added that a traffic study RFP has been issued that will include an evaluation of bicycle safety. The study will help determine whether the Village should consider reducing the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph. B. Staff Liaison Report – Staff Liaison Barrett reported that work is currently underway on the Tree Preservation Ordinance. Once the ordinance is finalized, a workshop will be scheduled prior to its adoption. Chairperson Truitt added that the ordinance will be fully redrafted and significantly improved from the original version, and she expressed appreciation to Village staff for taking on the effort. Barrett continued by noting that the zoning code update project is scheduled to kick off later this month, and that the Village has retained a consultant to assist with the process. Any priorities identified by the Environmental Commission will be shared with the consultant. He also reported that staff is reviewing building permit fees, with particular consideration being given to analyzing demolition fees. Regarding EV charging data, Barrett stated that limited data was available. From January 12, 2025, through January 12, 2026, there were approximately 2,900 charging sessions across all five EV charging stations. He concluded by noting that the Monarch Butterfly Proclamation will be celebrated on January 26. C. Park District Liaison Report – Park District Liaison Gutmann provided several updates. He reported that the holiday lights recycling program will conclude on January 25 and that fewer lights were collected compared to previous years. He also noted that work on Project Churchill, which focuses on buckthorn removal, is underway but was temporarily paused due to extensive rainfall. In addition, he shared that the Park District has implemented a new volunteer management software system that will be used moving forward. D. Chair Report – Announcements: The Village’s 3rd Annual Sustainability Recognition Night will be held on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., and members were encouraged to attend. The event will open with recognition of the Village and Park District for earning the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge Monarch Champion designation for 2025, as well as residents who received Conservation @ Home certification through The Conservation Foundation. After the presentations, Commissioners and award recipients are invited to gather at Nobel House for appetizers. Page 3 of 30  Environmental Commission 3 January 13, 2026 Tree Preservation Ordinance: Progress continues on the Tree Ordinance revisions. A revised draft is expected to be ready for Commission review as early as the February meeting. E-News Sustainability Tips: The suggestion is to create an annual, time-aligned list that can be refreshed each February through January. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Strategic Planning Priorities Recycling Extravaganza – Commissioner Kwiatkowsky reviewed the confirmed vendors for the April recycling event with the Environmental Commission (EC). The Commission discussed whether to offer paper shredding at the event. Chairperson Truitt noted that shredding services involve additional costs, including approximately $400–$800 for a truck to collect and transport the material. Commissioner Kwiatkowsky stated that she supports offering shredding and emphasized that a decision must be made prior to the next EC meeting, as a permit is required at least 60 days in advance. She also noted that once the truck reaches capacity, shredding collection would be closed. Chairperson Truitt asked the EC for input on offering shredding. Commissioner Frigo inquired about the environmental impact of shredding services. Commissioner Kwiatkowsky responded that shredding primarily serves as a convenience for residents and may encourage participation in recycling other materials. Chairperson Truitt added that the DuPage County Environmental Committee offers a $600 grant for paper shredding, which could be used for reimbursement. She noted that the net cost to the EC could range from $100 to $800. Staff Liaison Barrett reported that the 2026 EC budget totals $1,500, of which $500 is earmarked for the Conservation Foundation. Chairperson Truitt added that additional funding could be requested from the Village if necessary. Commissioner Kwiatkowsky reiterated her support for offering shredding and suggested tracking participation, specifically noting the number of vehicles dropping off shredding only versus those recycling shredding and additional materials, to help inform decisions for the fall recycling event. Chairperson Truitt made a motion to approve up to $500 from the EC budget for paper shredding and up to $250 for ECO Ship. Commissioner Frigo seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously. Commissioner Kwiatkowsky then noted the need for volunteers at the event, particularly for ECO Ship. Commissioner Sheeley offered to investigate the cost of renting a van to support this effort. Regarding Styrofoam recycling, Dart confirmed availability for April 11, noting that while Styrofoam is recycled, not all material can be processed. Commissioners Kwiatkowsky and Frigo supported offering Styrofoam recycling, while Commissioner Casazza did not. Regarding paint recycling, Commissioner Kwiatkowsky reported that a new program allows designated paint centers to accept paint for recycling at no cost, making it unnecessary to pay for this service at the event. She stated that EarthPaint has Page 4 of 30  Environmental Commission 4 January 13, 2026 agreed to accept paint free of charge at the event. The EC agreed to include EarthPaint at the April event and to communicate to residents about local paint recycling centers. The Environmental Commission discussed creating a QR code, to be included on a flyer or business card, that would link to information also maintained on the EC website for resident reference regarding recycling. Staff Liaison Barrett stated that he will coordinate with Grant Paplauskas to ensure the content is hosted and maintained on the website. Strategic Planning Priorities Category Document – Chairperson Truitt asked the Environmental Commission to review their proposed items once more to ensure they clearly reflect what the Commission is requesting the Village and staff to accomplish. She stated that the initiatives should be refined and prioritized, with each team ranking its items based on high impact potential. The Commission will then review the priorities collectively. Commissioners were asked to complete this review by February 13. VII New Business A. Sustainability Action Planning - Chairperson Truitt asked the Environmental Commission to review the relevant ordinance sections and the items on the list to determine whether any changes should be recommended for consideration to the consultant. Once individual reviews are complete, the Commission will collectively review the list and forward it to the consultant. Commissioners were asked to submit their feedback to Staff Liaison Barrett by January 30. The list will be reviewed at the February EC meeting. VII Next Meeting & Adjournment A. The Environmental Commission discussed adjusting its meeting schedule to better align with the Plan Commission’s meeting schedule in order to provide timely feedback on large-scale projects. Pending Village Management confirmation, Chairperson Truitt made a motion to move the EC meeting from the third Tuesday of each month to the second Tuesday of each month, beginning in April; Commissioner Casazza seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed. B. Commissioner Day motioned and Commissioner Frigo seconded the motion to adjourn the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 9:01 pm.

Analysis: LOCATION: The subject site is located on the northwest corner of Roosevelt Road and Taylor Avenue, approximately 145 feet east of Roosevelt Road’s intersection with Nicoll Avenue. ZONING: The subject site is currently zoned C4 Office District. The surrounding zoning and land use are as follows: Land Use Zoning North: Pond C4 Office District South: Commercial C3 Service Commercial District West: Bank C4 Office District East: Office C4 Office District COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2023 Comprehensive Plan recognizes this location as a Potential Redevelopment Site and states "Danby's Station Café is in fair to poor condition and the site could use façade and site improvements" (pg. 35). REVIEW PROCESS: In order to proceed with the project, the petitioner will need to receive approval of a Special Use Permit to allow a drive-through, Zoning Variations, Sign Variations, and Exterior Appearance. The petitioner has had a pre-application conference with the Plan Commission and plans to proceed with a public hearing. PROJECT SUMMARY: The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing 3,831 square foot Danby’s Station Café building and the construction of a new one-story, 1,250 square foot Dutch Bros restaurant building with a drive-through. The project also calls for the redevelopment of the parking lot and burial of overhead public utilities. More information about the project is provided below. Page 11 of 30 Building: The proposed drive-through is designed in a contemporary modern style. The façade consists of brick veneer masonry colored "shale" gray. This is accented with two tower elements that are composed of Nichiha composite cladding in the brand-specific "DB Blue" color located on the north and south sides of the building. The façade also features framed canopies above the drive- through window and doorways. The proposed outdoor patio area and walk-up order window will be partially covered by a similar grey metal canopy and supported by masonry columns to match the facade. The windows are trimmed in anodized aluminum-colored grey. Landscaping and Lighting: As part of the Special Use Permit application review process, a landscape plan and photometric plan will be required, and the project’s landscaping and lighting will be evaluated for compliance with the Village’s requirements. Signage: The proposed sign package incorporates the Dutch Bros. corporate brand identity throughout, which consists of six (6) wall signs, one monument sign, three (3) traffic directional signs. Section 4-5-10 of the Village Code allows for a maximum of 2 signs per establishment, not exceeding 1 freestanding sign. A sign variation will most likely be requested to allow for a greater number of wall signs and to allow for off-site signage to direct drive-through traffic on Nicoll Way. Note: The Sign Code exempts directional signs and drive-through canopy information signs from calculating the total allowable number and size of signs on a zoning lot. ARCHITECTURAL APPEARANCE GUIDELINES Village staff have excerpted the following sections of the Architectural Appearance Guidelines as they are relevant to the application request. 1.1 New construction should be compatible with the character of the site, adjacent development, and the adjacent streetscape. The adjacent commercial restaurants have facades that utilize similar finishes and styles. 1.1.5 Maintain the rhythm of the street (in terms of building setback and massing) and continuity of its landscaping. The project is located in the Roosevelt Commercial Corridor where certain architectural guidelines are expected to be observed. 1.3 Building design should not be so unique nor harshly different or exotic in its design so as to narrowly constrain potential reuse if the original use changes. The structure has no architectural design elements that would constrain potential reuse and could be reasonably repurposed or adapted. 1.1.5 Parapet walls should have a defined top which frames the building. A running board on the parapet walls is indicated on the building's elevation, which defines the top. 1.8 Colors should be muted and compliment each other, with no more than two or three colors on each façade. The façade is composed of three complimentary colors (light gray, blue, and silver aluminum). 1.8.1 A natural, neutral color should be chosen for the primary exterior façade material in new construction. The primary color of the façade is gray or “shale” in color, a natural and neutral palette. Page 12 of 30 2.2.1 Wall-mounted fixtures should not directly allow light projection to the sky. The wall-mounted fixtures will not allow light to project directly to the sky. 4.5 All development adjacent to Roosevelt Road should implement, or restore, the Roosevelt Road streetscape elements, in order to achieve continuity of public improvements. The proposed appearance is aligned with the appearance guidelines outlined in this section. 4.6 Wherever possible, a large expanse of roof shall be avoided. Visual diversity can be achieved by varying the roofline and/or the addition of dormers. The proposed structure has a flat roof design with varied heights in an asymmetrical manner that does not allow for a single large expanse of roof. Budget Impact: Contribution to Strategic Plan Action Requested: The Architectural Appearance Commission is being asked to consider the petitioner’s request for exterior appearance and make a recommendation to the Village Board for approval, approval with conditions, or denial. In reviewing the request, the Commission should consider how the proposed exterior appearance conforms to the Appearance Review Guidelines. In reviewing the project, the AAC may wish to inquire about/encourage the petitioner to: 1. Utilize design elements to create an alteration that is in harmony with the surrounding buildings. 2. Consider the proposed project in the context of the larger Roosevelt Road Commercial Corridor. 3. Incorporate Architectural Appearance Guidelines into feedback and review comments. Staff recommends the AAC consider the following conditions of approval: 1. The project shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans and drawings as submitted and the testimony presented at the February 11, 2026, Architectural Appearance Commission meeting. 2. A building permit shall be required for the exterior alterations. Attachments: 1. Exterior Appearance Review Application 2. Narrative Statement 3. Aerial Map 4. Zoning Map 5.

The project complies with the Guidelines by utilizing preferred materials such as brick masonry, limiting the exterior color palette, clearly defining roof and wall planes, screening mechanical equipment, and incorporating landscaping and site design that enhance visual quality and pedestrian safety along the corridor while still maintaining Dutch Bros brand identity with the blue tower element. 4. Please explain why any deviations from the Appearance Review Guidelines are proposed. Any minor deviations from the Appearance Review Guidelines are proposed to accommodate Dutch Bros’ required brand identity and standardized prototype elements that are essential to the brand’s recognition and operational efficiency.
