Richard McMahon, Buck's Inc., spoke on behalf of the petitioner. The PZC inquired about the future of the nearby Bucky's location. McMahon noted the location has been studied extensively; very few customers cross City of Naperville Page 1 Printed on 3/21/2019 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes February 20, 2019 traffic so it is possible both could operate simultaneously. PZC inquired about similar development projects. McMahon responded that a variety of uses have located next to their stores, including McDonald's and O'Reilly Autoparts. PZC also inquired about the cross access and zoning of Lot 2. Kopinski stated that the petitioner has indicated a willingness to plat cross access; however, it has yet not been platted. Lot 2 will also be zoned B3. Public Testimony: Kathleen Buettner lives in the area and is against the development. Ms. Buetter stated that companies such as Bell Labs, Alcatel and Lucent are leaving Naperville and being replaced with carwashes, gas stations, and hotels, providing salaries that will not support residents. The petitioner responded to the testimony. PZC closed the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission found the proposal to be inconsistent with the goals of the Ogden Avenue Corridor Enhancement Initiative. PZC expressed concern with the future of Lot 2 and the impact of the proposed conditional use on the neighboring uses. Commissioner Habel cast the dissenting vote, finding the proposal to be an improvement for the property. Commissioner Habel noted that the Ogden Avenue Corridor Plan was also developed prior to the current changes in the retail market. 3.
