St., Palatine, IL & Tim Spies of Spies & Associates - 534 W Campus Dr.,
Arlington Heights, IL
Mr. Rose explains that the property at 52 W Colfax Street is dilapidated. The
existing property is 132 X 132 in dimension. He is proposing (4) modest
single family homes; three that would face Brockway Street and one that
would face Colfax Street. The sizes would range from 2000 to 2800 square
feet. He states the homes design would be smaller and acknowledge the
aesthetic look and feel of the surrounding neighborhood. Exterior materials
would be natural looking, not vinyl and would blend with the existing area.
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2
Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023
The new modest homes are modest, but will not be boxy. Renovating the
existing residence may appear to be desirable but it’s not salvageable from a
financial aspect. He states that it’s an interesting home but it’s beyond repair.
He explains that the property is larger than the property to the south and
requests support of this project. Mr. Rose presents elevations of the proposed
properties. He states he grew up in Palatine and has built 80 homes in the
Village. He is vested in the area and is working on something appropriate for
the downtown area.
Mr. Kolososki asks if the Petitioner would considered (2) houses on the
property.
Mr. Rose states they would not. He believes the homes proposed fit well with
the downtown area and the Village’s vision. He states that another
consideration would be townhomes but that would make it less desirable than
his proposed plan.
Mr. Friedman questions the elevations and asks if there will be any other
presentation than entry door/garage, entry door/garage at the street level.
Mr. Rose states garages are set back and it becomes a challenge when the
homes are 30’ Wide.
Mr. Bettenhausen asks about the storm water retention.
Mr. Spies anticipates 48” storm sewers that would be installed behind lots 1
thru 3 and discharge would be at Brockway. It would be reviewed in Final
Engineering.
Mr. Bettenhausen expressed concern about the close proximity of the storm
sewer to the house along the north side of Lot 1 and asked if there is enough
room to access the sewer for maintenance and repairs. Could the storm
sewer be relocated between the houses of Lots 1&2 or 2&3? Mr. Spies
responded that he believes there is enough room along Lot 1 but will review
other alternatives.
Mr. Kolososki asked if there will be windows on the side elevations of the
homes.
Mr. Rose states there would be.
Mr. Fedota asks about the 2nd floor egress plan with the slider door in the
back. He state that the 5’ setback on either side of houses is proposed and
limits the space. This doesn’t allow exposure at the rear of house or use of
the backdoor.
Mr. Kolososki states there is no reason to use the back door. There is
nowhere to go.
Mr. Bettenhausen also states there is nowhere to go.
Mr. Rose states a paver patio would be an option off the slider door and could
be comfortable in a small area.
Staff Statement:
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 3
Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023
Mr. Vyverberg states the subject property was previously operated as a
chiropractic office and personal residence. He presents photos of
surrounding properties, with a view of the surrounding are. He explains the
Zoning in the area and states the subject lot is currently zoned as R-3. Under
the current proposed development, 3 lots would have driveway access to
Colfax Street and one lot to Brockway street with a 2-car garage and
driveway parking available. He states the lots provide comparable setbacks
in the area.
He states the surrounding neighborhood is completely developed, with all of
the required infrastructure and utilities available. The Village Code would
require both volume control and storm water detention for this property and
parkway trees would need to be installed.
Mr. Dwyer reads into record and summarizes opposing emails that have been
received. They state that they have lived in the area for many years and it
has many historic homes. The proposed plan is inconsistent with the
character of the neighborhood and request the petition be denied.
Resident: Mr. Doug Wickley
242 N Brockway St
States his concern regarding drainage, aesthetics & driveway access.
Mr. Tom Hargove
260 N Brockway St
States he’s been in Palatine since 1985. He acknowledged that the existing
house is not salvageable. He has concerns regarding the driveways and
states the side setbacks are so small that the fire department could probably
not pitch a ladder there. He also is concerned with the removal of the mature
trees. He believes the proposed plan is too dense of a development. He also
states his concern regarding the storm water.
Mr. Dwyer states that the water would not run off any faster than it does right
now.
Mr. Hargrove states it currently collects now and it doesn’t run into the storm
water.
Mr. Vyverberg states there needs to be additional details reviewed and would
be addressed by engineering prior to final plan review.
Mr. Hargrove states it is just too much house on too small of a lot.
Mr. Nathan Eder
234 N Plum Grove Rd
States he is there to acknowledge that another historic home will be torn
down in Palatine. He shares some history of the home and states the home
was built in 1890 and is a piece of Palatine history. He’d like the village to
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 4
Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023
consider the vision for the downtown area. Demolishing the historic buildings
on larger lots to make way for new builds with minimal setbacks, and
removing the large established trees that contribute to the neighborhood’s
character and eco system could change the downtown landscape and would
cease to exist forever. History is important to Palatine’s downtown future. He
requests to keep the vision of the unique, charming downtown Palatine in
consideration while deciding the future of this property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This area of the Village maintains varying land uses (attached multi-family,
single-family homes, non-conforming duplexes, detached single-family with a
shared central drive, condominiums, and apartment uses). While the Future
Land Use envisioned a continued medical office use, Staff believes the
proposed is a compatible land use and site plan to incorporate into the area.
By utilizing the existing street system and providing direct driveway access for
each lot, the existing single-family land use patterns will continue for this
property. And, the proposed front yard and corner side yard setbacks align
with the surrounding properties. Although the rear yard setbacks are narrower
that the Code may require, Lot 4 provides a 50-foot setback and works to
comparably with the surrounding setbacks to the east. The proposed
elevations and materials should also align with the existing elevations in the
neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary
Planned Development, subject to the following conditions:
1. All extra agency permits shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to
the Village Engineer.
2. The Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost (EEOPC) shall be submitted in
a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.
3. Review fees, based upon the finally accepted EEOPC shall be submitted
in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.
4. The Final Architectural Plans shall be revised in a manner acceptable to
the Director of Community Development/Planning and Zoning, including
the final material quantities and distribution. The final separation of the
dwellings shall comply with the IRC R-302, in a manner acceptable to
the Director of Fire Prevention.
5. The Final Engineering Plans shall be submitted and revised in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer and shall include both volume
control and stormwater detention.
6. The Final Landscaping Plan shall be revised in a manner acceptable to
the Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan should review the ability
to maintain any of the existing healthy trees within the property.
7. A Public Improvement letter of credit in an amount of 115% of the
approved EEOPC, for said public improvements, shall be submitted in a
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 5
Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023
manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.
8. A Planned Development Letter of Credit in the amount of $40,000 -
($10,000/unit, per Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance) shall be submitted
in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning.
9. If required, a Final Plat of Subdivision shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer and Director of Planning and Zoning.
As determined by the Village Attorney, the HOA declarations shall be
submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Attorney.
10. A construction management plan shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning and the Village
Engineer and shall outline the proposed development schedule and
identify the material delivery routes and proposed parking areas for the
contractors, in conjunction with the building permit application
submission.
Mr. Dwyer asks for clarification on condition #9 - final plat of subdivision will
be required.
Mr. Vyverberg clarifies.
Mr. Dwyer asks Mr. Rose if he accepts the conditions.
Mr. Rose states they do accept the conditions.
Mr. Richard Riva
210 N Bothwell Street
States he prefers to see 3 houses on the property and have driveway access
to the rear.
Mr. Noonan made a motion to close the public hearing. 2nd by Mr.
Friedman.
Discussion:
Mr. Kolososki states that access for fire trucks is difficult to maneuver, even
with sprinkler systems and 1 hour walls.
Mr. Dwyer states there are similar small homes on Colfax and sprinkler
systems and smoke detectors are only good if maintained. He states the
proposal is compatible to properties to south and west but not to the north
and east. He feels this is not the place for this proposed development. It is too
dense for this property.
Mr. Friedman states the zoning for this property could have a multi-family
usage as it is zoned now.
Mr. Fedota states underlying zoning at Plum Grove and Colfax is also zoned
R2 as well.
Mr. Vyverberg states it may have been used as an office use at one time.
Mr. Dwyer states comprehensive plan shows what is there now or what is
desired.
Mr. Noonan states he is sad to see a historic house leave but acknowledges it
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6
Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023
is beyond repair. He feels that the proposed plan is too much for the
property.
Mr. Fedota states that parking is lost on the east side of Brockway. Maximum
1 car length on driveway and no parking on the street.
Mr. Kolososki also feels the plan is too much for this lot.
Mr. Friedman believes that even changing the plan from 4 homes to 3 would
still present 3 skinny deep lots.
Mr. Noonan states that with 2 or 3 homes there might be a chance that the
trees could be saved.
Mr. Fedota states 2 homes would fit more with the character of the downtown
area. He also states that the finish might be different but the doors and
garages do not fit the monotony code.
Mr. Noonan made a motion to accept Case #PPD-000001-2023;
seconded by Mr. Kolososki - Vote to accept was unanimously denied by
a vote of 6-0.
Mr. Dwyer summarized the vote to recommend denial was unanimously
accepted by a vote of 6-0. This will tentatively go to Village council on
Monday 4/10/23.

Sworn in Staff: Lyn Bremanis
Sworn in Petitioner: Amir Rafidia, USA Developers and Josh Terpstra with
Haeger Engineering.
Mr. Terpstra provides background information on the subject property and
explains the parcel is at the northwest corner of Dundee and North Haven Dr. It
was previously unincorporated cook county and was annexed into the village of
Palatine as R-1 single family residential. USA Developers is the new owner and
seeking to subdivide the lots from one lot into four lots and rezone from R-1 to R-
2. Mr. Terpstra provides an overview of the site plan design and engineering
design. He explains that they are seeking to rezone to the R-2 regulation. He
states that the site plan meets or exceeds the zoning requirements for R-2. The 4
lots are proposed to have one single family residence on each lot with driveway
access off the North Haven Drive cul-de-sac. He explains the engineering
design also meets the Village of Palatine codes and requirements. There are
outside agencies that have jurisdiction for this location. MWRD of Chicago
controls the storm water management and sanitary, and Dundee Rd on the south
is controlled by IDOT. The proposed lots will source the water and sanitary
service from an existing sanitary and water lines that run beneath North Haven
Drive. There is a proposed storm water management facility located at the SW
corner of the southern 2 lots in the proposed development that which discharges
to the existing storm sewer below North Haven Drive and will discharge to the
wetland area north of the cul-de-sac which meets the existing drainage patterns
of the site. The owner is aware that other agencies require permits and those
permits must be obtained prior to the village approval. They’ve begun that
process.

Minutes Plan Commission March 7, 2023
Mr. Bettenhausen questions the sequence of construction. He asks if the lots will
be sold before the home is built or is the home being built on spec.
Mr. Terpstra explains that USA Developers owns all four lots and will use all lots
for themselves. Mr. Rafidia agrees and states that the homes will be occupied by
family members.
Mr. Bettenhausen asks if the driveways shown on the plans represent the actual
build. Mr. Terpstra states the driveways will be built as represented. If there are
any conflicts with the utilities it would be addressed with the architect.
Mr. Fedota asks if there is any fencing planned for the flow control area.
Mr. Terpstra states that USA developers owns the commercial property to the
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 7, 2023 7:00 PM (Approval of Minutes)
west. The existing line of trees and landscaping to the west would be a
separating factor from the commercial property and the residential property.
Mr. Fedota asks if there is an HOA that would provide maintenance of the swale.
Mr. Terpstra explains that there is a condition that the HOA would provide
maintenance for the area and the easement.
Mr. Fedota asks if there are any substantial changes from the preliminary.
Mr. Terpstra states that there is not.
Ms. Bremanis talks about the property being annexed in April of 2022. When
annexed in, per code, it is automatically zoned as R-1. Rezoning it to R-2 was
discussed during the preliminary planned development. She provides
photographs of the existing conditions which illustrates the clearing of the lots
that has been completed. She states the forestry division will verify any addtional
trees being removed.
Mr. Friedman asks if the road is a public road or part of the HOA.
Ms. Bremanis states it is a public road.
Resident: Steve Fishman 1585 North Haven Dr.
Mr. Fishman states his concern regarding the new development. He is
concerned about the additional traffic leaving the subdivision to exit onto Dundee
Rd. He states adding four more houses would double the number of cars coming
in and out of the area. It is already difficult to enter and exit onto Dundee Rd. He
states that the street is narrow and is worried about street parking. He is
concerned about congestion and the excess load to the sewer system. He
questions how this will affect the existing homes on North Haven Dr.
Ms. Bremanis addresses his concern regarding the narrow street and states that
the village is aware of the street width. The Fire Marshall has reviewed and the
west side of the street may be deemed as no parking. Parking will only be
permitted on one side of the street to keep an open lane. In regards to the sewer
system, the Village Engineer has reviewed the sewer system and approved for
this proposed project. Ms. Bremanis offers the resident the opportunity to contact
the engineer directly and will provide his information.

Minutes Plan Commission March 7, 2023
Mr. Dwyer asks Mr. Terpstra the size of the storm sewer system on North Haven
Dr.
Mr. Terpstra states he would have to check the TOPO plan but he believes it’s a
12” sewer. He states there is a proposed storm water management facility at the
southwest corner of the proposed plan. Sanitary sewer and water services would
be provided by connecting to existing services in the N. Haven Drive right of way.
Mr. Fishman is also concerned about parking. He states there is currently limited
parking and with the additional properties there is no room for guests to park on
the street.
Ms. Bremanis states that although the street is narrow, there should be room for
additional parking within the resident’s driveways and on the street.
Mr. Fishman reiterates his concerns regarding the limited parking.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 7, 2023 7:00 PM (Approval of Minutes)
Further discussion between resident and board members ensue regarding
parking.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The final plat subdivision and rezoning to R-2 is consistent with the Preliminary
Plat of Subdivision and Annexation approvals, Comprehensive Plan
recommendations, and are comparable to the existing subdivision to the east.
The proposed lots exceed the minimum required R-2 bulk and comply with all of
the setback requirements and minimum required lot depth per the Subdivision
Ordinance. The proposed subdivision is also consistent with Marks Landing
Subdivision (directly east). Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the
proposed request, subject to the following conditions:

area of the Village and is situated adjacent to the Central Business District, with
Wood Street identified as the northern boundary of the B-3 district.
There is not a consistently established land use pattern or zoning identity to this
section of the Village. This is likely both a function of the proximity to the Central
Business District and a result of the previous downtown planning and
implementation activities. The Subject Property, through its previous land use as
a medical office, with a commercial parking area along Brockway Street, existed
in conjunction with the other residential uses.
While the lots to the north and east maintain a current R-2 zoning designation,
the property directly east across the street (“Village Green” townhouses) is zoned
Planned Development and contains 13 units on .971 acres of 13.38 units/acre.
The property directly south of the Subject Property is also zoned Planned
Development (“”Stone Garden Subdivision”) and contains 5 units on .351 acres
or 14.24 units/acre. The lot directly north is zoned R-2, but previously functioned
as a multi-unit duplex on an 8,712 square foot lot.
Zoning and Site Design:
The lot is current zoned R-3 and the following table delineates the proposed lot
sizes and setbacks:

Under is current multi-family zoning, Each lot is afforded direct driveway access
to Colfax and Brockway Streets, with a 2-car garage and driveway parking
available. All of the lots provide minimum interior side yard setbacks of 5 feet
and minimum front yard setbacks of 15 feet, with the corner side yard (Colfax)
and front yard setbacks for Lots 1 and 4 at 17 feet. This is directly comparable to
the minimum required R-2 corner side yard setback of 20 feet and minimum
required side yard for R-2 lots less than 67 feet in width.

Meeting of March 21, 2023
The proposed setbacks are consist with most of the surround single-family
homes and provide greater setbacks than development to the south.
Along the west side of Brockway Street, the homes at 260 and 268 N. Brockway
Street maintain front yard setbacks of approximately 17 feet and 18 feet,
respectively. On the east side of Brockway Street, the homes at 247, 255, and
261 N. Brockway have front yard setbacks of approximately 21 feet, 14 feet, and
17 feet. The homes along Bothwell Street also have similar setbacks to the
proposed.
Most of the lots in this area are 66 feet by 132 feet, which is the traditional lot
size in this area. The area to the southeast along Bothwell Street has several
single-family lots that are 60, 50, and 48 feet wide. As proposed, the 4-lots are
not out of character from the surrounding property characteristics. The R-3
district would allow a density of 3.48 3-bedroom homes for this lot.

Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203)
Meeting of March 21, 2023
The Village Green townhomes directly west of the property provides a 23-foot
front yard and Stone Garden to the south has an 8.5-foot setback from Colfax
Street and a 10.5-foot setback from Brockway Street.
Engineering:
The surrounding neighborhood is established and completely developed, with all
of the required infrastructure and utilities available within the area. Based upon
the existing circumstances, within the downstream area of the Subject Property,
the Village Code would require both volume control and stormwater detention for
this property. As required, parkway trees would be installed.
The Subject Property generally drains from the northeast to the southwest. With
the exception of a slight shelf on the northern section of Lot 4, the property is
relative flat.
Providing detention is consistent with the Stone Garden development, directly
south of the Subject Property and appropriate, given the constant surcharge
received by areas downstream of the property. This will prevent additional
stormwater runoff from adding runoff to the extended system.

Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203)
Meeting of March 21, 2023
Architecture:
Each of the homes are designed to have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The
building footprints would be approximately 30 feet wide by 59 or 63 feet deep,
within each lot. The second floor plans indicate a 28 foot by 26 foot area. The
total square footage of the homes is approximately 2,500 square feet.
The proposed building materials would include LP siding or other non-vinyl siding
alternative. Per the narrative, the proposed home designs will incorporate colors,
materials, and accents to coordinate with the surrounding established home in
the area. This includes matching the treatments of the siding and accent
materials.
RECOMMENDATION:
This area of the Village maintains a confluence of varying land uses (attached multi-
family, single-family homes, non-conforming duplexes, detached single-family with a
shared central drive, condominiums, and apartment uses). While the Future Land Use
envisioned a continued medical office use, Staff believes the proposed is a compatible
land use and site plan to incorporate into the area. By utilizing the existing street
system and providing direct driveway access for each lot, the existing single-family land
use patterns will continue for this property. And, the proposed front yard and corner
side yard setbacks align with the surrounding properties. Although the rear yard
setbacks are narrower that the Code may require, Lot 4 provides a 50-foot setback and
works to comparably with the surrounding setbacks to the east. The proposed
elevations and materials should also align with the existing elevations in the
neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Planned
Development, subject to the following conditions:
1. All extra agency permits shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the
Village Engineer.
2. The Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost (EEOPC) shall be submitted in a
manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.
3. Review fees, based upon the finally accepted EEOPC shall be submitted in
a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer.
4. The Final Architectural Plans shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the
Director of Community Development/Planning and Zoning, including the
final material quantities and distribution. The final separation of the
Page 7

dwellings shall comply with the IRC R-302, in a manner acceptable to the
Director of Fire Prevention.
5. The Final Engineering Plans shall be submitted and revised in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer and shall include both volume control
and stormwater detention.
6. The Final Landscaping Plan shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the
Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan should review the ability to
maintain any of the existing healthy trees within the property.
7. A Public Improvement letter of credit in an amount of 115% of the approved
EEOPC, for said public improvements, shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer.
8. A Planned Development Letter of Credit in the amount of $40,000 -
($10,000/unit, per Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance) shall be submitted in
a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning.
9. If required, a Final Plat of Subdivision shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer and Director of Planning and Zoning. As
determined by the Village Attorney, the HOA declarations shall be
submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Attorney.
10. A construction management plan shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning and the Village Engineer
and shall outline the proposed development schedule and identify the
material delivery routes and proposed parking areas for the contractors, in
conjunction with the building permit application submission.

The exterior elevation presentation of the homes is designed with the surrounding historical homes in
mind. Colors, rooflines, accents, and materials have all been considered in the designs. This enclave of
four homes will fit in very well with the surrounding aesthetics. It is a lower density alternative with a
“nod” to the historical buildings in downtown Palatine.
Exterior materials will largely be lap siding with accompanying accents to match. Soffits and fascia will be
aluminum. Roofs will be treated with 30yr architectural, asphalt shingles.
