1. Pursuant to Section 155.504 (A) of the Lombard Zoning
Ordinance, amend the conditional use approval for the
Hammerschmidt Planned Development, as established by
Ordinance No. 5447, to allow for the property at 11-21 E. St.

(DISTRICT #4)
A motion was made by Commissioner Flint, seconded by Commissioner
Sweetser, to continue this petition to the August 18, 2014 meeting. The motion
carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
Mrofcza, and Stephen Flint
140289 PC 14-09: 255 E. Wilson Avenue & 1051 S. Hammerschmidt
Avenue
Pursuant to Section 155.504 of the Zoning Ordinance, the petitioner,
the Village of Lombard, requests approval of a major amendment to
Ordinances 6213 and 6214, which granted zoning and planned
development approval located in the Office District. Said amendment
would provide for the relocation and construction of a fuel dispensing
facility for the Village . (DISTRICT #6)
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Sworn in to present the petition was Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director of Community Development; Carl Goldsmith, Director of
Public Works; and Mark Ravansei of Integrity Environmental Services,
Inc. Naperville, Illinois.
Mr. Goldsmith spoke on the relocation of the fueling facility on Village
Hall property. A map of the current fuel facility was displayed showing
its location southeast of the Public Works Administration Building. The
Village of Lombard Page 2
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
facility has been in place for approximately forty (40) years and many
components are out of date and non-compliant with code from the
State Fire Marshall. The site serves approximately one hundred and
thirty (130) Village vehicles and administration vehicles from the
School District. A new fueling facility was considered starting in 2012.
The Village did look into replacing the facility onsite, but due to the
location of the facility, at the lowest point of the property, it was not
feasible. The location is prone to flooding and water infiltration. The
Village Board included funds for the fueling center replacement in the
2014 Capital Improvements Plan. This would bring the facility into full
safety compliance for the operators, users, and surrounding
neighborhood. The Village issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to
replace the fueling facility at the northeast corner of Central Avenue
and Hammerschmidt Avenue. Due to physical constraints this location
did not work. An alternate site was proposed that is further from
adjacent property and completely contained on the Village’s site. Mr.
Goldsmith said this site would minimize impact on the surrounding
neighborhood and would provide an opportunity to expand Village
parking. This would also allow the Village to address stormwater
issues by having the south portion of the parking lot be constructed of
permeable pavers. The proposed fueling facility would be accessed
from Central Avenue and Holloman Drive. Integrity Environmental
was hired as the contractor and the Village Board of Trustees
approved the design build contract. Mr. Goldsmith referenced the
neighborhood meeting on July 10, 2014 and the neighborhood
concerns. The canopy will be reduced to thirty feet (30) by twenty feet
(20) in size with motion activated LED lights. The new equipment will
be compliant with regulations set forth by the State Fire Marshall. A
landscape plan will be developed and Mr. Goldsmith said he hopes to
construct a landscape berm to minimize the impact and visibility of the
property on Hammerschmidt Avenue. There will be landscaped areas
along the drive aisles in the parking lot. The site currently goes
through approximately 100,000 gallons of unleaded fuel and 42,000
gallons of diesel per year. The capacity would not increase or
decrease since the same number of vehicles would be fueling. The
Village would like to increase the size of the tanks to hold more fuel.
The current fueling facility and tanks would be removed when the new
facility is operational. Any contamination would be remediated. In the
proposed facility, space will be made available for compressed natural
gas, if in the future this is necessary. Electric charging stations would
also be made available.
Commissioner Sweetser asked for clarification on the number of
vehicles that use the facility. Mr. Goldsmith said the police department
sedans use the facility the most. A routine day would have over forty
(40) vehicles fueling throughout the day. Administrative vehicles
usually fuel once every two weeks.
Village of Lombard Page 3
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
Commissioner Burke asked if staff could show how the current facility
and proposed facility are accessed. Mr. Goldsmith said the current
facility is only accessed from the south at Central Avenue. The
proposed facility has access off Holloman Drive and Central Avenue.
Holloman Drive serves the Village Hall complex. Mr. Goldsmith said
the larger vehicles, such as fire trucks, have a difficult time making the
turn into and out of the current fueling facility.
Commissioner Cooper asked if the existing facility will be removed.
Mr. Goldsmith said the existing facility will be removed upon
completion of the project. A concrete pad will be placed over the top
of the current facility.
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Ms. Alice Feitl of 1040 S. Hammerschmidt Avenue spoke. She stated
that she lived at 1040 S. Hammerschmidt Avenue since April, 1968.
Ms. Feitl said she was at the neighborhood meeting but has some
additional questions and comments. She stated that this is a
residential area and when the Village Hall Complex was built it was
supposed to blend in with the area as much as possible. The gas
pumps will be brought up to street level and be an attractive nuisance
for the area as they are currently hidden. Many people walk nearby
and around the Village Hall Complex and will pass the new pumps.
This will increase traffic on Hammerschmidt Avenue, in an area that
sees a lot of pedestrian traffic including Village employees. The pond
will be across from the proposed fueling facility which is an area many
children ride their bikes around. Ms. Feitl expressed her concern
about vehicles not stopping at the stop signs. She asked how much
light will spill out to the surrounding areas. Children may be inclined to
play near the pumps. She asked about noise levels from vehicles
filling up, traffic, and vehicles beeping when they back up. Ms. Feitl
also asked about pollution or contamination from gas spills. There was
an indication that the ground in the existing facility is contaminated
and she asked if the Village could guarantee that the new location
would not cause any contamination. She asked if a cost comparison
was done to repair and clean up the existing site versus building a
new site or if the Village considered purchasing a vacant gas station.
Ms. Feitl asked if an EPA assessment was done and if that was
available to the public. She said a berm could be constructed and
asked what would happen in the winter when the tree shield is
diminished. She mentioned there are a number of dead trees at the
Village Hall Complex. She asked about how the cameras will be
monitored if they are with other cameras and only monitored by one
person. She stated that she would prefer if the pumps were relocated
Village of Lombard Page 4
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
in the same general area since it was designed for that purpose and
not intrude into a residential area. She said this project will change
the neighborhood.
Mr. Goldsmith said a photometric study was done and shows no light
spill over to the neighboring properties to the west and south. All the
light will be contained to the fueling facility. He stated there is no
incident number from the Illinois EPA on the existing fueling facility.
Site work will determine if there was contamination and what the next
steps will be. The new facility will use better quality equipment that is
better designed. The new tanks will have emergency shut offs to
minimize leaks. He stated the Village discussed the concept of
acquiring a private facility. The Village Hall Complex is convenient
because vehicles are often brought to Public Works for maintenance.
He stated this is a not a manned station. Each employee has a code
to obtain access to dispense fuel. Mr. Goldsmith said there is a
potential for increased traffic on Hammerschmidt Avenue, but the
proposed facility will have two access points for entry. He stated there
is an existing berm located south of Holloman Drive and depending on
the amount of new fill, this berm could be continued. Staff has looked
into adding existing trees. A contract was executed to remove
approximately twenty-nine (29) diseased trees from the Village Hall
Complex. Mr. Goldsmith said the new equipment is better quality and
that should help decrease the likelihood of a spill. He said there will
be less back-up beeping noises since vehicles can drive through the
fueling facility. He said emissions should be no greater than they are
today.
Commissioner Cooper asked if staff looked into replacing the existing
facility. Mr. Goldsmith said that was the original desire but given the
low elevation and ground water infiltration issues, new equipment
could also be damaged. It was recommended that the Village find an
alternative location.
Chairperson Ryan asked for the staff report.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the
public record in its entirety as well as the updated copy of the Final
Engineering Improvement Plan for the Fueling Station. She stated the
Village Hall Complex is zoned OPD, Office Planned Development, and
this is considered a major amendment to the Planned Development,
which requires a hearing before the Plan Commission. The Village is
proposing to construct a new fueling facility. A neighborhood meeting
was held on July 10, 20214. The exiting facility will be removed when
the new facility is operational. Staff has discussed landscaping and
screening with Public Works. As the photometric plan shows, the light
will be directed at the fueling station and directed downward to
Village of Lombard Page 5
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
minimize glare. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as public
and institutional and the fueling station is an ancillary use to the
Village Hall Complex. No signage is being proposed on the canopy or
fueling island. The Village Hall Complex has been before the Plan
Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Village Board of Trustees
for other petitions. Staff finds the project meets the standards.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Sweetser stated many suburbs make their fueling
station blend into the surrounding area. Ms. Ganser said that could be
achieved by not adding any signage and increasing the amount of
landscaping. Mr. Goldsmith said the Village will try to provide ample
screening to reduce site lines.
Commissioner Cooper said she noticed the use of permeable
pavement and asked if there were other examples in the Village. Mr.
Goldsmith said this is similar to pavement at the Morton Arboretum
and the Kane County Cougars stadium. Commissioner Cooper said
she is excited the Village is using permeable pavers and it is a great
example for other development. Mr. Goldsmith said he believes this is
the first application of this type of material on Village property.
Commissioner Mrofcza asked why the canopy size was reduced. Mr.
Goldsmith said this will minimize impact on the neighbors, save money
on the project, and provide the same functionality.
A motion was made by Commissioner Burke, seconded by Commissioner
Sweetser, that this petition be recommended to the Corporate Authorities for
approval subject to conditions:
1. That this relief is limited to the construction of a new fueling station only
and any physical site improvement or alterations require approval through the
Village;
2. That the current fueling station be removed once the new fueling station is
operational;
3. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with plans
submitted as part of this request;
4. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within
the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report;
5. This relief shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval of
the ordinance. If the fueling station is not established by said date, this relief
shall be deemed null and void; and
6. Amend the size of the canopy to approximately thirty feet by twenty feet.

Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
Mrofcza, and Stephen Flint
140290 PC 13-07: 23 W. Maple Street - Amendment to a Conditional Use
for an Additional Accessory Structure
Requests approval of an amendment to Ordinance 6631, granting
conditional uses pursuant to Title 15, Chapter 155, Section 155.407
(C)(3) and (13) of the Lombard Zoning Ordinance for a cultural facility
(museum) in order to allow for an additional accessory structure
(gazebo) along with a companion variation from Section 155.210(B)(1)
(a) to allow the combined area of all accessory buildings to exceed the
ground floor area of the principal structure on the subject property,
located within the R2 Single-Family Residence District. (DISTRICT
#1)
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Sworn in to present the petition was Carl Goldsmith, Director of Public
Works and Matt Panfil, Senior Planner.
Mr. Goldsmith introduced the petition by presenting an example of a
gazebo at the property owned by the Village of Lombard and operated
per agreements by the Lombard Historical Society. The project came
about in the fall of 2012 to honor the legacy and historical preservation
passion of the former Village President, William J. Mueller. A
partnership was formed with the Village, The Lombard Historical
Society and the Mueller Family. The size of the gazebo will be 16 feet
by 20 feet and will be located on the east side of the property.
In order to address ADA handicap accessibility requirements, the
gazebo will tie into the existing sidewalk configuration.
The gazebo is expected to be a long term benefit to the Lombard
Historical Society and the community for the use and enjoyment of
educational programs, concerts, etc. The Mueller Family Fund
Memorial Foundation has been soliciting and collecting donations for
the purchase of the gazebo.
Chairperson Ryan asked if anyone was present to speak in favor or
against the petition.
Ms. Leslie Sulla of 126 S. Chase Avenue and President of the
Lombard Historical Society was sworn in and asked if the reduction of
the size of the gazebo caused the removal of the octangular shape of
the gazebo. Mr. Goldsmith confirmed that the shape of the gazebo
Village of Lombard Page 7
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
has the option of being octangular and that nothing has been ordered
as of yet.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none, he
asked for the staff report.
Mr. Panfil, Senior Planner, presented the staff report, which was
submitted to the public record in its entirety. The requested
amendment to the conditional use of the property is required for two
reasons: one is adding an accessory structure to the property that has
a conditional use and second the accessory structures combined
exceed the square footage of the principal structure. The house
museum (the principal structure is approximately 1,400 square feet
and the three existing accessory structures, the carriage house, the
Plum shed and outhouse combined have approximately 1,700 square
feet in total. The variation to allow the combined area of all accessory
buildings to exceed the ground floor area of the principal structure is
necessary in order to provide a setting for the interpretation of a
middle-class Victorian household as part of the history of Lombard.
Even though the subject property is zoned as single-family residential,
the land use of the property is institutional and the current
Comprehensive Plan recommends public and institutional use. The
proposed gazebo is intended to enhance the educational experience
of the visitors to the museum and is not an exception for a specific
household. Therefore precedence is not being set in consideration of
this unique circumstance. Staff supports the requested amendment to
the conditional use and the companion variation.
Chairperson Ryan opened the meeting for comments among the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Sweetser requested clarification regarding the entrance
point to the gazebo. Mr. Goldsmith stated that there will be access
from the east via the sidewalk that will be providing the handicap
accessibility in addition to an entrance point on the west side of
gazebo with access to the lawn.
Commissioner Olbrysh asked why another site was not chosen
instead of the already constrained site of the museum property instead
of perhaps one of the many parks in Lombard. Mr. Goldsmith stated
that six sites were considered. Of the sites, only Village owned
properties were identified and Lombard Park District properties were
not considered. The present site was selected based on President
Mueller’s passion and commitment to the Historical Society’s mission
of preserving the history of Lombard as specifically expressed by the
Mueller family and Historical Society members.
Village of Lombard Page 8
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
A motion was made by Commissioner Flint, seconded by Commissioner
Olbrysh, that this petition be recommended to the Corporate Authorities for
approval subject to conditions:
1. The petitioner shall develop the space in substantial conformance with the
site plan and the Amish Country Gazebos plans and elevations.
2. The petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the
IDRC Report.
3. This conditional use and companion variation shall be valid for a period of
one year from the date of approval of the ordinance. If the gazebo is not
constructed by said date, this amendment to the conditional use and
companion variation shall be deemed null and void.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
Mrofcza, and Stephen Flint
140291 PC 14-17: Text Amendment to the Sign Ordinance
The Village of Lombard and Merlin are proposing the following text
amendment to the Sign Ordinance (Section 153 of the Code of
Ordinances):
1. An amendment to Section 153.505 (B)(6)(c)(ii), B3, B4, and B4A
Community Shopping District Requirements to change the setback of
a freestanding sign from seventy-five (75) from the centerline of a state
right-of-way to five (5) feet from the front property line. (DISTRICTS
#1, #2, #3, #4 & #6)
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Sworn in to present the petition was Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director of Community Development and Mark Hameister of Merlin
Corporation in St. Charles.
Mr. Hameister said that Merlin has been in the Lombard business
community since the mid-1970s. They are looking at a change in their
signage due to visibility issues. The new sign would be approximately
thirty percent smaller than the existing sign. The height would also be
reduced to have a pole sign that is more visible on Roosevelt Road.
Mr. Hameister referenced a new copy of the proposed sign and said
he has worked with staff to ensure that the new sign will be five feet
within the lot line and comply with the proposed text amendment.
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, he asked
for the staff report.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the
Village of Lombard Page 9
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
public record in its entirety. As staff met with Merlin Corporation and
discussed the sign, staff decided to request a text amendment for the
B3, B4, and B4A zoning districts and proposed a five foot setback.
This is consistent with the setback for freestanding signs in the B1 and
B2 zoning districts. Ms. Ganser referenced the staff report showing
North Avenue, Roosevelt Road, and Butterfield Roads. In some
instances the seventy-five (75) foot setback from the centerline
doesn’t reach private property. In the past, there have been variances
granted for relief from the centerline setback.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
A motion was made by Commissioner Olbrysh, seconded by Commissioner
Sweetser, that this petition be recommended to the Corporate Authorities for
approval. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
Mrofcza, and Stephen Flint
140292 PC 14-21: 801 E. Butterfield Road - Conditional Use for a Physical
Culture and Massage Establishment
Requests that the Village grant approval of a conditional use, pursuant
to Section 155.415 (C) of the Village of Lombard Zoning Ordinance, to
allow for a physical culture and massage establishment (as defined
and regulated by Chapter 12, Section 122 of the Code of Ordinances)
within the B3 Community Shopping District. (DISTRICT #3)
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Sworn in to present the petition was Matt Panfil, AICP, Senior Planner
and the petitioner, Jim Harms of Asian Paradise Spa, Inc., 1310 S.
Milwaukee Avenue, Vernon Hills, IL 60061.
Mr. Harms began by stating that Asian Paradise Spa has an existing
business within Vernon Hills and is seeking to open another
establishment at the subject property. Mr. Harms stated his belief that
the business will fit well into the community because their model is for
an overall health spa that will offer a variety of differing services such
as acupuncture, herbal healing, Thai yoga, and skin care in addition to
massages. The conditional use is required because it may be a
significant amount of their business.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none, he
asked for the staff report.
Mr. Panfil, Senior Planner, presented the staff report, which was
submitted to the public record in its entirety. He reiterated that the
Village of Lombard Page 10
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
business is not solely for massages but because massages may
account for a significant portion of their business, staff determined that
a conditional use would be necessary.
Mr. Panfil stated that there are no proposed exterior or utility
improvements associated with the request. The business will occupy
approximately 1,745 square feet of the 18,000 square foot structure.
The parking supply is more than sufficient for the estimated demand
for the entire property, especially in consideration that there are
fifty-three (53) parking spaces available for use within the
Commonwealth Edison right-of-way immediately to the south of the
subject property.
Mr. Panfil concluded that staff supports the request because the
proposed use is consistent with the surrounding physical context as
well as the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
A motion was made by Commissioner Cooper, seconded by Commissioner
Burke, that this petition be recommended to the Corporate Authorities for
approval subject to conditions:
1. That this relief is limited to the operation of a physical culture and massage
establishment as part of a spa only and any physical site improvement or
alterations require approval through the Village;
2. That the operator of the physical culture and massage establishment apply
for and receive a physical culture and massage establishment permit, per the
provisions of Section 122 of the Village Code, with said permit and operation
remaining in good standing;
3. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with plans
submitted as part of this request;
4. This relief shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval of
the ordinance. If the physical culture and massage establishment is not
established by said date, this relief shall be deemed null and void; and
5. The petitioner shall be required to apply for and receive a building permit for
any improvements to the interior of the space prior to starting the build-out of
the tenant space.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
Mrofcza, and Stephen Flint
140293 PC 14-20: Text Amendments to the Sign Code
The Village of Lombard is proposing text amendments to the Sign
Village of Lombard Page 11
Plan Commission Minutes July 28, 2014
Ordinance (Section 153 of the Code of Ordinances) pertaining to the
permissible locations and maximum sign area for automatic changeable
copy (ACC) signs. (DISTRICTS - ALL)
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Sworn in to present the petition was Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director of Community Development.
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, he asked
for the staff report.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the
public record in its entirety. She stated the text amendment relates to
automatic changeable copy (ACC) signage and the topic was brought
forth as a workshop at the May and June 2014 Plan Commission
meetings. Due to numerous requests staff received on ACC signage,
staff is bringing this petition forward. Previous petitions that went
before the Plan Commission for relief were Yorktown Mall, Glenbard
East High School, First United Methodist Church, and Lombard Pines
Shopping Center. Staff is proposing a text amendment to allow for
ACC signage on major and minor arterial roads in the Village. She
explained that is different from current regulations, which allow ACC
signage by zoning district. The minimum frontage requirement would
be reduced from five hundred (500) feet to three hundred (300) feet,
adding that the frontage would be on the major or minor arterial
roadway. Staff proposes a new size limitation to sixteen (16) square
feet. Staff feels that from the workshop feedback and the affirmed
standards for a text amendment support the petition.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Sweetser said this petition was discussed previously
and said she could make a recommendation.
A motion was made by Commissioner Sweetser, seconded by Commissioner
Olbrysh, that this petition be recommended to the Corporate Authorities for
approval. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6- Ronald Olbrysh, Martin Burke, Ruth Sweetser, Andrea Cooper, John
