Public Hearings 240377 PC 24-10: 324 Eisenhower Lane North - Outside storage of equipment and materials for a landscaping business The petitioner requests a conditional use pursuant to Section 155.420(C) (10) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for a contractor equipment and material storage yard associated with a landscaping business operating on the subject property located within the I Limited Industrial District. (DISTRICT #3) Sworn in to present the petition was Anna Papke, Planning and Zoning Manager, and Brian Baker on behalf of Davey Tree Expert Co., the petitioner. Chairperson Giuliano read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and, hearing none, she proceeded with the petition. Mr. Baker presented the petition. He said that Davey Tree is a landscape company providing services in the area. Davey Tree is requesting a conditional use to allow outside storage on the subject property. Davey Tree proposes to expand the paved surface to the rear of the building to provide for additional parking areas as well as an area to store materials and equipment. Mr. Baker said there would be two concrete bins for storage of mulch and trees on the north side of the site. Village of Lombard Page 1 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Bill LoPresto asked for clarification on the address and location of the subject property and noted that he lives at 271 Arboretum immediately behind the subject property. He was not for or against the petition but had questions. He asked about the prior owner of the subject property. Mr. Baker said the former owner was a landscape company called Foliage Design. Mr. LoPresto asked about hours of operation. Mr. Baker said crews would arrive around 7:00 a.m., but noted that no work is done on site. The crews would be gathering equipment and supplies and traveling to job sites. The workday ends around 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Mr. LoPresto said he was concerned about noise. He said the bedrooms in the Arboretum townhomes back up to the shared property line with the subject property. Mr. Baker said that Davey Tree would not generate much noise. He noted that no equipment will be run on site. Mr. LoPresto asked about screening on the north side of the subject property. Mr. Baker said there will be landscaping and fencing in that area. Mr. LoPresto asked about screening during the winter months when trees lose leaves. Mr. Baker said there will be evergreen trees planted in the landscape area. Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, she asked for the staff report. Ms. Papke presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety. The subject property is an existing building in the Yorkbrook Business Park on Eisenhower Lane, which is in the Industrial District. The petitioner operates a landscaping business on the property and proposes to expand the rear parking lot to allow for an area for outdoor storage of materials. Outdoor material storage areas are conditional uses in the I District. Staff has reviewed the submitted plans and finds the petition is Village of Lombard Page 2 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 consistent with the standards for conditional uses. Outdoor materials storage yards are common in the I District and in the Yorkbrook Business Park, which contains a mix of offices, warehousing, and general industrial land uses. The property to the west at 328 Eisenhower Lane has an outdoor materials storage area similar to the petitioner’s proposal for the subject property. Because the subject property is adjacent to the Arboretum Townhomes to the north, the Zoning Ordinance requires the north 30 feet of the subject property to be a landscape buffer area. The submitted plans show this area will be improved with a bioswale and other planting materials. A solid fence will be provided along the north property line for additional screening. Staff found the petition met the standards for conditional uses and recommended approval of the petition subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any questions or comments on the staff report. Commissioner Spreenberg asked how the landscape buffer on the subject property would compare to the landscaped area on the north of the property at 328 Eisenhower, where a conditional use for outside storage was previously approved by the Village. Ms. Papke said the depth of the buffer on the subject property would be similar to the landscape buffer on 328 Eisenhower. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any questions or comments on the staff report. Hearing none, she opened the meeting to comments from the Commissioners. Commissioner Invergo asked about lighting on the subject property. Mr. Baker said he had submitted a code-compliant lighting plan for the proposed parking area, and staff had no comments on it. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if Davey Tree would be repairing equipment on site. Mr. Baker said they may conduct minor preventative maintenance on some of the equipment, but this would be done indoors. On a motion by Commissioner Invergo, and a second by Commissioner Spreenberg, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the petition associated with PC 24-10 subject to the six (6) conditions in the staff report: 1. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; Village of Lombard Page 3 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 2. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with the plans submitted as part of this petition and referenced in the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; 3. That the materials stored outside shall be effectively screened by and not visible above the level of either the fence along the north property line or the concrete storage bins, as may be applicable; an exception shall be made for trees that the petitioner may store on site in anticipation of off-site installation; 4. That the east and west perimeters of the parking lot shall be landscaped in accordance with Section 155.706(C)(3); 5. That the petitioner shall apply for and receive building permits for the proposed improvements; and 6. That this approval shall be subject to the commencement time provisions as set forth within Section 155.103(F)(11). The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Ruth Sweetser, Leigh Giuliano, Tony Invergo, Robert Spreenberg, Alissa Verson, and Brendan Flanigan Absent: 1- Bill Johnston 240378 PC 24-11: 10 W. North Avenue - Outside storage of raw materials for on-site manufacturing business The petitioner requests a conditional use pursuant to Section 155.420(C) (39) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for an outside materials storage area associated with a manufacturing business operating on the subject property located within the I Limited Industrial District. (DISTRICT# 4) Sworn in to present the petition was Anna Papke, Planning and Zoning Manager, and the following on behalf of the petitioner: Araceli Rodriguez, business owner, and Mark Richards, project engineer. Chairperson Giuliano read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and, hearing none, she proceeded with the petition. Araceli Rodriguez, owner of Chicago Pallet, addressed the Plan Commission. She said Chicago Pallet had recently moved to Lombard from their Elk Grove Village location. She introduced project engineer Mark Richards. Mr. Richards presented the petition. He said the site is located at North Avenue and Main Street. He said the petitioner proposed to add new pavement to the north side of the property, which will include a Village of Lombard Page 4 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 12,000-square-foot outdoor storage area. The outdoor storage area requires a conditional use. There will be an eight-foot-tall fence around the storage area. He noted there is existing landscaping along the west side of the area that will be preserved. He said surrounding properties included similar land uses as the subject property. He showed the utility and drainage plans, and noted the plan complies with stormwater regulations. No new curb cuts are proposed. Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, she asked for the staff report. Ms. Papke presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety. The subject property is located in the North Avenue industrial area, which is in the Industrial District. The petitioner operates a pallet manufacturing business on the subject property. The petitioner proposes to construct a parking lot to the north of the building, with a 12,000-square-foot area to be used for storage of materials. Outdoor material storage areas are conditional uses in the I District. Staff has reviewed the submitted plans and finds the petition is consistent with the standards for conditional uses. Outdoor materials storage yards are common in the North Avenue industrial area. The storage area will be screened by a combination of a solid fence and the building on the property. Staff found the petition met the standards for conditional uses and recommended approval of the petition subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any questions or comments on the staff report. Commissioner Spreenberg asked for clarification if the fence around the storage area would be eight feet tall or six feet tall. Mr. Richards said it will be eight feet tall. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if an eight-foot-high fence is permitted. Ms. Papke said it is. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any questions or comments on the staff report. Hearing none, she opened the meeting to comments from the Commissioners. On a motion by Commissioner Spreenberg, and a second by Commissioner Invergo, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board Village of Lombard Page 5 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 approve the petition associated with PC 24-11 subject to the seven (7) conditions in the staff report: 1. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; 2. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with the plans submitted as part of this petition and referenced in the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; 3. That the materials stored outside shall be effectively screened by and not visible above the level of the fence around the storage area; 4. That the east and west perimeters of the parking lot shall be landscaped in accordance with Section 155.706(C)(3); 5.

Chase and 734 E. St. Charles Road- Building material and products sales and interior storage The petitioner requests a conditional use pursuant to Section 155.416 (C)(4) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for a building material and products sales and storage establishment on the subject property located within the B4 Corridor Commercial District. (DISTRICT #4) Sworn in to present the petition were Ricardo Talavera and Alfredo Esparza, petitioners; Alisa Volpe and Chloe Volpe, property owner; Anna Papke, Planning and Zoning Manager and Tami Urish, Planner I. Chairperson Giuliano read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine, and hearing none, she proceeded with the petition. Mr. Talavera stated that he is requesting a conditional use for the sale and storage of building materials, more specifically steel, hobby size, angle iron, tube, etc. The primary business is to provide material Village of Lombard Page 6 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 purchased in Chicago to customers at job sites. Occasionally, there are remnants that will be stored at the 11 N. Chase location. Purchases of the remnant steel is by appointment. The building has a commercial overhead door at the back. There are residents that live on the second floor. There are no common areas shared with the residents. The business would be assigned four parking spaces. One of the spaces is for a trailer to transport the materials. Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, she asked for the staff report. Ms. Urish presented the IDRC report for PC 24-12, which was entered into the public record in its entirety. The petitioner proposes to operate a building material and products sales and storage establishment at 11 N. Chase Avenue and 734 E. St. Charles Road as noted on the submitted floor plans. The property is an existing mixed-use building with retail/office space on the first floor and residences on the second floor. There is a surface parking lot behind the building. The proposed building material sales office and storage will occupy the majority of the first floor. No exterior site improvements are proposed. As explained in the staff report, the use is listed as a conditional use. The character of the neighborhood along E. St. Charles Road is an eclectic mix of uses that include a storage center, auto parts, auto sales, dog kennel, etc. Two properties to the west is the beginning of a small industrial district. Also, the building was originally developed for an HVAC contractor’s shop. The proposed use of reclaiming steel remnants at construction sites and reselling them is compatible with the corridor development. Any manipulation of the materials will be conducted within the interior of the building. No activities other than loading and unloading will take place on the parking lot. Staff recommends approval of the petition subject to the conditions in the staff report. Chairperson Giuliano asked the Commissioners if they had any questions. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if the materials are to be stored indoors. Mr. Talavera confirmed that the materials will be stored inside. Chairperson Giuliano asked that this was storage only and there will not Village of Lombard Page 7 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 be any cutting, etc. on site. Mr. Talavera responded that while inside there will be occasions where a piece will need to be cut for example from twelve feet to six feet. The activity is cold saw cutting only and does not involve torches. Chairperson Giuliano asked if this activity would be done during regular hours. Mr. Esparza responded that the request for a specific size would be by appointment only. Chairperson Giuliano asked staff if there was an issue with parking. Ms. Urish responded that the property met the minimum requirements per the parking code. Commissioner Flanigan asked the petitioner if they are doing processing of the larger deliveries. Mr. Talavera responded that no, the tenant space is not large enough to handle the standard size. Mr. Esparza responded that the distributor cuts down the units that are twenty four feet. Commissioner Invergo asked how the remnants would be stored. Mr. Talavera responded that the remnants will be stored in racks that are six feet in height. The average size is between ten to twelve feet and like a two by four piece of wood for example. The typical customer is someone looking to fix their lawn mower. Commissioner Invergo asked if their supply included ornamental steel. Mr. Talavera responded that they do have some ornamental steel that is one half inch size. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any additional comments. Hearing none, she asked for a motion from the Commissioners. On a motion by Commissioner Verson, and a second by Commissioner Invergo, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the petition associated with PC 24-12, subject to the following five (5) conditions: 1. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with plans submitted as part of this request; 2. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report 3. Outdoor storage of materials is not allowed 4. The conditional use is for 11 N. Chase Avenue and 734 E St Charles Road Village of Lombard Page 8 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 as delineated by the submitted floor plan. Any expansion of the business will require an application for the conditional use of any additional areas of the building 5. This approval shall be subject to the commencement time provisions as set forth within Section 155.103(F)(11). The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Ruth Sweetser, Leigh Giuliano, Tony Invergo, Robert Spreenberg, Alissa Verson, and Brendan Flanigan Absent: 1- Bill Johnston 240379 PC 24-13: 851 Parkview Blvd - Private school in Woodlake office park The petitioner requests a conditional use pursuant to Section 155.412(C) (18) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for a school, private, full-time: elementary, middle, and high, on the subject property located within the OPD Office Planned Development District. (DISTRICT# 2) Sworn in to present the petition was Anna Papke, Planning and Zoning Manager, and Ruby Ramirez, petitioner. Chairperson Giuliano read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and, hearing none, she proceeded with the petition. Ms. Ramirez presented the petition. She is the principal of a school for students with special needs, and is requesting a conditional use to allow a private elementary school on Parkview Blvd. Ms. Ramirez described the student population the proposed school would serve, and the curriculum. She said there would be 15 students and three teachers. There will be additional therapists on staff. Ms. Ramirez said there will not be any outdoor play areas; there will be two play areas indoors. There are 20 outdoor spaces included in the lease. She described the student pickup and drop off patterns, noting that parents would park in parking spaces as needed to avoid creating congestion in the parking lot. She said drop off should last no longer than 15 minutes each day. Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, she asked for the staff report. Ms. Papke presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety. The petitioner proposes to operate a private school in an office suite within the Woodlake Corporate Park. The Village of Lombard Page 9 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 school will be one tenant in a multi-tenant building. The subject property is part of a planned development in the Office District. Schools are conditional uses in the Office District. Staff has reviewed the submitted plans and finds the petition is consistent with the standards for conditional uses. The school will serve 15 students and will have five employees. The petitioner will make interior modifications to provide classroom space and play areas in the tenant space. No exterior alterations are proposed. Ms. Papke said the petitioner had indicated student drop off and pickup activities will occur in the parking lot outside the door into the office suite. Given the small number of students, staff does not anticipate the school will create any circulation impacts for other tenants of the building or for Parkview Boulevard. Staff and the petitioner have discussed that drivers should be instructed to pull into parking stalls for loading and unloading to avoid blocking the parking lot drive aisle. Staff proposes that a condition of approval for this petition state that loading and unloading activities shall not block parking lot drive aisles. Staff found the petition met the standards for conditional uses and recommended approval of the petition subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. Chairperson Giuliano asked if there were any questions or comments on the staff report. Hearing none, she opened the meeting to comments from the Commissioners. Commissioner Spreenberg asked how much of the building would be occupied by the school. Ms. Ramirez said less than half. Commissioner Sweetser asked about the approval process for schools. Ms. Ramirez said the school also requires approval by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) in addition to the Village approval of the conditional use. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if there would be any outside play activities for the students. Ms. Ramirez said ISBE does not require outdoor play space for special needs schools. She said there would be several locations for play inside the tenant space. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if the petitioner operates other schools. Ms. Ramirez said the petitioner operates three other schools. Village of Lombard Page 10 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 Commissioner Verson asked about security plans to make sure students do not leave the school without permission. Ms. Ramirez said the doors will have security locks to control access to and from the school. Commissioner Sweetser asked if the school would be partnering with other organizations for resources. Ms. Ramirez said the school would partner with several organizations, including YMCA and Ray Graham. Commissioner Invergo asked if Ms. Ramirez’s school would work with Soaring Eagle School [also located on Parkview Blvd]. Ms. Ramirez said Soaring Eagle has a different approach to education than the proposed school. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if there would be any concerns about noise impacts on other tenants. Ms. Ramirez said she does not expect to the students to disrupt other tenants. On a motion by Commissioner Spreenberg, and a second by Commissioner Invergo, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the petition associated with PC 24-13 subject to the five (5) conditions in the staff report: 1. That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; 2. That the petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with the plans submitted as part of this petition and referenced in the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; 3. That student loading and unloading activities shall not block drive aisles in the parking lot on the subject property; 4. That the petitioner shall apply for and receive building permits for the proposed improvements; and 5. That this approval shall be subject to the commencement time provisions as set forth within Section 155.103(F)(11). The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Ruth Sweetser, Leigh Giuliano, Tony Invergo, Robert Spreenberg, Alissa Verson, and Brendan Flanigan Absent: 1- Bill Johnston 240397 PC 24-15: 434 E.

Approval of a conditional use pursuant to Section 155.416(C)(16) of the Lombard Village Code to allow for a motor vehicle service business. (DISTRICT #4) The petitioner was not present. A motion was made by Commissioner Invergo, seconded by Commissioner Verson, that PC 24-15 be continued to the January 27, 2025 Plan Commission meeting. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Ruth Sweetser, Leigh Giuliano, Tony Invergo, Robert Spreenberg, Alissa Verson, and Brendan Flanigan Absent: 1- Bill Johnston 240394 PC 24-14: 614, 618, 622, 626, and 630 W. Meadow Lane - Front yard setbacks for four single-family residential lots in the Suraiya Subdivision The petitioner, the Village of Lombard, requests that the Village take the following action on the subject property located within the R2 Single-Family Residential District: Pursuant to Section 155.407(F)(1) of Village Code, approve a variation to allow a minimum front yard setback of 30 feet for Lots 1 through 4 of the Suraiya Subdivision, irrespective of the front yard setback of existing single-family dwellings on abutting lots. (DISTRICT #1) Sworn in to present the petition was Anna Papke, Planning and Zoning Manager. Chairperson Giuliano read the Plan Commission procedures and asked if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine and, hearing none, she proceeded with the petition. Ms. Papke presented the petition in the form of the staff report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety. The subject property is the Suraiya Subdivision, a five-lot subdivision on West Meadow Avenue platted in 2017. The subdivision includes four single-family residential lots (Lots 1-4) and one stormwater outlot (Lot 5). Three of the four single-family residential lots are vacant. Lot 3, at 622 W. Meadow, is developed with a single-family residence that was built prior to the 2017 subdivision. The subject property is in the R2 Single-Family Residential District. Village of Lombard Page 12 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 Per the Lombard Zoning Ordinance, required front setbacks for new single-family residences in the R2 District are determined using a formula based on the front setbacks of single-family dwellings on abutting lots, with the front setback to be no less than 30 feet in any case. The existing single-family residence at 622 W. Meadow was built in 1999 when that property was configured as a long narrow lot in unincorporated DuPage County. Subsequent annexation, subdivision, and development of the Buckingham Orchard townhomes to the north reduced the depth of 622 W. Meadow, resulting in a single-family home on a standard-sized residential lot with a deep front yard setback and a shallow, nonconforming rear yard setback. The nonconforming rear setback and deep front setback of this house affects the formulated front setback of the adjacent lots to an extent that was not intended when the Suraiya Subdivision was platted. To address this concern, staff proposes a variance to establish a minimum 30-foot front yard setback for all the buildable lots in the subdivision. Staff reviewed the potential variation against the standards for variations in the Village Code. Staff found that there is a hardship based on the sequence of events and development activities on the subject property in the last 25 years. An earlier version of the five-lot subdivision was platted in 2006, when the second phase of the Buckingham Orchard townhome development was built to the north. At that time, the subdivision was platted as a five-lot single-family subdivision. Required setbacks in the R2 District were 30 feet. The 2006 subdivision was consolidated into one lot in 2013, and resubdivided into its current form in 2017. While the widths of the five lots in the 2017 subdivision vary somewhat from the width of the lots in the 2006 subdivision, the depth of the lots is unchanged between 2006 and 2017. However, in the intervening time between the two subdivisions, the front yard setback requirement in Residential Districts was amended from an absolute minimum of 30 feet to a formulated setback based on setbacks on abutting properties. The formulated setback combined with the presence of the existing house with the deep front setback at 622 W. Meadow altered the development potential for the remaining lots in the subdivision in a way that was not anticipated when the lot depths were established in 2006. Ms. Papke noted that there is a diagram in the staff report that shows the formulated setback on the lots within the subdivision along with the proposed 30-foot setback, and noted that staff did not find any appreciable difference between the formulated setback and the proposed 30-foot setback in terms of neighborhood compatibility. Village of Lombard Page 13 Plan Commission Minutes December 16, 2024 Staff found the petition met the standards for variations and recommended approval of the petition. Chairperson Giuliano asked if any person would like to cross examine or speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, she opened the meeting to comments from the Commissioners. Commissioner Flanigan asked if there was any development ongoing around the subdivision. Ms. Papke said that a permit had been submitted for one of the lots in the subdivision within the last couple of months, and the review of that permit had brought the front setback issue to the attention of staff. Commissioner Spreenberg asked how the proposed 30-foot setback fits within the front setback requirement for Residential Districts in general. Ms. Papke said that prior to 2008, the front setback requirement for single-family residences in Residential Districts was a minimum of 30 feet. The formulated setback was introduced in 2008 to address concerns related to new houses with 30-foot setbacks being constructed next to older houses with deep front setbacks. However, the formulated setback still sets an absolute minimum front setback of 30 feet. Commissioner Spreenberg asked if 30 feet would be the required setback for a house built next to a vacant lot. Ms. Papke said the formulated setback does account for properties where adjacent lots are undeveloped; in those cases, the formula assumes a front setback of 30 feet on the adjacent lot. On a motion by Commissioner Spreenberg, and a second by Commissioner Invergo, the Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the petition associated with PC 24-14. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 6- Ruth Sweetser, Leigh Giuliano, Tony Invergo, Robert Spreenberg, Alissa Verson, and Brendan Flanigan Absent: 1- Bill Johnston Business Meeting Approval of Minutes A motion was made by Commissioner Invergo, seconded by Commissioner Spreenberg, that the minutes of the August 19, 2024 meetings be approved.
