Slade Street BACKGROUND: The Subject Property contains Schnell's Brauhaus restaurant and bar, which received original Special Use approval (as Bauer's Brauhaus) in 2010, and was later transferred to Schnell's Brauhaus in 2015. Schnell's Brauhaus is now requesting a Minor Amendment to their Special Use to allow for the existing video gaming area to be relocated into a portion of the adjacent tenant space and the dining room layout restored to its original seating design. KEY ISSUES: • The existing Special Use for the restaurant/bar located at 45 W. Slade Street was originally approved in 2010 as Bauer's Brauhaus. The Special Use was later transferred to Schnell's Brauhaus in 2015. In 2022, Schnell's Brauhaus received approval to add a video gaming area within a portion of their existing dining room. The owner of Schnell's Brauhaus is now requesting approval to amend their floor plan to allow the relocation of the video gaming area into a portion of the adjacent tenant space and to restore the dining room area to the original seating configuration. • The proposed floor plan modification includes the addition of a door from the existing Schnell's Brauhaus dining area into the adjacent tenant space. The relocated video gaming area will include the same number of video gaming terminals that currently exist (6) as well as a redemption/cash machine. The seating layout of the dining room area would then be restored to the original plan, except for the elimination and/or relocation of tables to provide the minimum required clearances. No other changes are proposed to the existing Schnell's Brauhaus floor plan. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance granting a Minor Amendment to the existing Special Use for Schnell's Brauhaus. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to approve the ordinance granting a Minor Amendment to the existing Special Use for Schnell's Brauhaus. Page 96 of 210 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Schnells Brauhaus Location Map 2.

Benton Street BACKGROUND: The Subject Property was subdivided and approved for 2 single-family residential lots and 2 corresponding building pads in 2009 and 2010. Lot 1 was developed with a 2- story single-family home and Lot 2 was approved for a similar building pad at that time. The building pads and special uses for fill in a floodplain and a yard in the floodplain were required as the entire property is located within the floodplain, excepting the building pads and homes. Due to the presence of the floodplain on these lots, there are several forms of relief required to allow for the construction of the homes. Per the Subdivision Ordinance, any fill in the floodplain requires both Special Use review and the required compensatory storage at 110% of the amount of any fill to offset any impact to the floodplain. Additionally, any yard in the floodplain requires Special Use review to ensure that there is both an engineering review for the proposed and a Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing and Village Council review. The approval of the building pad and required relief was also approved for Lot 2 for a similarly sized 2-story home as was built on Lot 1. The owner/developer of Lot 2 is proposing to construct a single-story ranch home on Lot 2 and is therefore seeking to amend the building pad size and location and the required relief therein. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting approval of the following: 1) Final Plat of Subdivision for Lot 2 of Benton Street Subdivision to amend the permitted building envelope for Lot 2 to allow a ranch-style home to be constructed, instead of the initially identified 2-story home; 2) Special Use for a yard in the floodplain for Lot 2; and 3) Special Use to permit the filling of land in the floodplain, with the required compensatory storage for Lot 2. KEY ISSUES: • The Subject Lot, except for the approved building pad, remains entirely ensconced in the floodplain and covered within a drainage easement. When Lot 1 was developed, the building pads were raised outside the floodplain for both lots, and were reviewed and approved for the required zoning relief. Nevertheless, only Lot 1 was developed and a new single-family home was constructed upon it. Although the zoning relief and engineering plans were Page 112 of 210  approved for Lot 2, it was not developed and no engineering work was completed on Lot 2. The current property owner intends to develop the lot with a single-story ranch-style home, which will require a building pad with differing dimensions. • Therefore, new special uses for fill in a floodplain and yard in a floodplain are required for the proposed home on Lot 2. Additionally, as the subdivision was approved with a specific building pad for Lot 2, the proposed building pad for the ranch home will also require approval. The revised building pad would comply with all the minimum required R-1 setback requirements. The proposed building pad is 70 feet by 70 feet, with a 10-foot by 25-foot addition on the north side of the property to accommodate a 3rd car for the garage. • As was the condition when the subdivision was approved, S. Benton Street terminated in front of the home at 947 S. Benton Street, but the unimproved Benton Street right-of-way continues past Lot 2. Lot 2 will be serviced by a driveway through the right-of-way for access to the home. In addition to the S. Benton Street right-of-way, the unimproved northern 33-foot right-of-way for Willmette Road is directly south of Lot 2. This right-of-way will remain unimproved and is not part of the development of Lot 2 or Benton Street Subdivision. • With the development of Lot 1 and as a component of the engineering plans, the storm sewer (21-inch) was extended along the frontages of both lots. As a required condition of the 2009 special uses, the efficacy of the storm sewers was required to be tested after the occurrence of a minimum 2.5-inch rain event (or other significant rain event deemed sufficient by the Village Engineer), for a 24- hour period to ensure its functional operation. Since the development of Lot 1 and the completion of the storm sewer, there have not been any flooding or drainage issues noted or reported to the Village of Palatine. • The engineering plans provide the required 110% compensatory storage for the additional fill in the floodplain associated with the alterations to the building pad.

Wood Street, relative to a request for the following: Final Plat of Subdivision for Lot 2 of Benton Street Subdivision. The proposed would amend the permitted building envelope for Lot 2, which was approved as part of the Benton Street Subdivision, to allow for a ranch-style home to be constructed, instead of the initially identified 2-story home; A Special Use for a yard in the floodplain for Lot 2; and A Special Use for to permit the filling of land in the floodplain for Lot 2. The property is commonly known as 951 S. Benton Street. The Subject Property is zoned R-2 single-family residential and is commonly known as 951 S. Benton Street and is the vacant lot directly south of the existing home at 947 S. Benton Street. When the Benton Street Subdivision was approved in 2008, the required special uses for a yard in the floodplain and fill in the floodplain were subsequently approved as part of that process. The Petitioner would like to construct a ranch-style home, which will require new special uses for a yard in the floodplain and for the filling of land in the floodplain, with the required compensatory storage. The above petition has been filed by Robert Feltes, owner, and is available for examination in the office of the Village Clerk, 200 E. Wood Street.

Preliminary subsurface investigation activities were performed at the site to evaluate potential environmental concerns related to releases associated Leaking Underground Storage Tank Incidents. Concentrations of Benzene above the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives were revealed in soil samples collected from the floor of tanks when removed and replaced. Soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells at the site were used to gather initial information regarding the extent of on-site soil and groundwater contamination that exceeds the IEPA soil standards and groundwater objectives. The owner's environmental consultant has fully characterized on-site soil and groundwater conditions. The proposed Corrective Actions would mitigate any threat to human health, human safety or the environment associated with the prior releases. The Village Council passed Ordinances in 2024 and 2025 in response to a request by the property owner’s environmental consultant. After the IEPA’s review, modifications to the proposed boundary were needed to be followed by language changes required by the IEPA. The consultant has requested a new ordinance with an updated map and updated language be used. KEY ISSUES: • The owner of the site wishes to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the IEPA. • To obtain an NFR would put limitations on groundwater use at the subject area and in any direction of migration. • The groundwater flow direction at the subject property was calculated to be toward the north and east. Groundwater contamination is predicted to migrate off the subject property in all four directions. A limited local groundwater ordinance is proposed pursuant to 35 IAC Section 742.1015 for the area surrounding the subject property. • Currently, the Village Code would not permit the installation of private wells as municipal water serves all properties within the area. This ordinance would prohibit the use of groundwater as a potable water supply at the site and areas surrounding the site. • No community water supply wells or private wells are located within 2,500 feet of the site. Page 178 of 210  • No regulated recharge areas are located within a 2,500-foot radius of the site. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a motion authorizing an Ordinance prohibiting groundwater wells within the defined area. ACTION REQUIRED: Motion authorizing the groundwater ordinance subject to final review by the Village Attorney. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Preliminary subsurface investigation activities were performed at the site to evaluate potential environmental concerns related to releases associated with Leaking Underground Storage Tank Incidents. Concentrations of Benzene above the IEPA Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives were revealed in soil samples collected from the floor of tanks when removed and replaced. Soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells at the site were used to gather initial information regarding the extent of on-site soil and groundwater contamination that exceeds the IEPA soil standards and groundwater objectives. The owner's consultant has fully characterized on-site soil and groundwater conditions and demonstrated that contaminated media has not migrated beyond the property boundaries of the site. The proposed Corrective Actions would mitigate any threat to human health, human safety or the environment associated with the prior releases. The Village Council passed Ordinances in 2024 and 2025 in response to a request by the property owner’s environmental consultant. After the IEPA’s review, modifications to the proposed boundary were needed to be followed by language changes required by the IEPA. The consultant has requested a new ordinance with an updated map and updated language be used. KEY ISSUES: • The owner of the site wishes to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the IEPA. To do so, they would self-impose a restriction on buildings on the site to be limited to slab on grade construction without basements. They would further restrict themselves to Industrial/Commercial uses due to soil conditions which are proposed to have no further treatment. • Also required to obtain an NFR would be the limitations on groundwater use at the subject area and in any direction of migration. • The groundwater flow direction at the subject property was calculated to be toward the east-southeast. Groundwater contamination is predicted to migrate off the subject property in all four directions. A limited local groundwater ordinance is proposed pursuant to 35 IAC Section 742.1015 for the area surrounding the subject property. • Currently, the Village Code would not permit the installation of private wells as municipal water serves all properties within the area. This ordinance would prohibit the use of groundwater as a potable water supply at the site and areas Page 188 of 210  surrounding the site. • Two non-community water supply wells were historically located within a 2,500- foot radius of the site and are no longer operational. • No community water supply wells are located within 2,500 feet of the site. • No regulated recharge areas are located within a 2,500-foot radius of the site. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a motion authorizing an Ordinance prohibiting groundwater wells within the defined area. ACTION REQUIRED: Motion authorizing the groundwater ordinance subject to final review by the Village Attorney. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Slade Street BACKGROUND: The Subject Property contains Schnell's Brauhaus restaurant and bar, which received original Special Use approval (as Bauer's Brauhaus) in 2010, and was later transferred to Schnell's Brauhaus in 2015. Schnell's Brauhaus is now requesting a Minor Amendment to their Special Use to allow for the existing video gaming area to be relocated into a portion of the adjacent tenant space and the dining room layout restored to its original seating design. KEY ISSUES: • The existing Special Use for the restaurant/bar located at 45 W. Slade Street was originally approved in 2010 as Bauer's Brauhaus. The Special Use was later transferred to Schnell's Brauhaus in 2015. In 2022, Schnell's Brauhaus received approval to add a video gaming area within a portion of their existing dining room. The owner of Schnell's Brauhaus is now requesting approval to amend their floor plan to allow the relocation of the video gaming area into a portion of the adjacent tenant space and to restore the dining room area to the original seating configuration. • The proposed floor plan modification includes the addition of a door from the existing Schnell's Brauhaus dining area into the adjacent tenant space. The relocated video gaming area will include the same number of video gaming terminals that currently exist (6) as well as a redemption/cash machine. The seating layout of the dining room area would then be restored to the original plan, except for the elimination and/or relocation of tables to provide the minimum required clearances. No other changes are proposed to the existing Schnell's Brauhaus floor plan. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance granting a Minor Amendment to the existing Special Use for Schnell's Brauhaus. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to approve the ordinance granting a Minor Amendment to the existing Special Use for Schnell's Brauhaus.

Benton Street BACKGROUND: The Subject Property was subdivided and approved for 2 single-family residential lots and 2 corresponding building pads in 2009 and 2010. Lot 1 was developed with a 2- story single-family home and Lot 2 was approved for a similar building pad at that time. The building pads and special uses for fill in a floodplain and a yard in the floodplain were required as the entire property is located within the floodplain, excepting the building pads and homes. Due to the presence of the floodplain on these lots, there are several forms of relief required to allow for the construction of the homes. Per the Subdivision Ordinance, any fill in the floodplain requires both Special Use review and the required compensatory storage at 110% of the amount of any fill to offset any impact to the floodplain. Additionally, any yard in the floodplain requires Special Use review to ensure that there is both an engineering review for the proposed and a Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing and Village Council review. The approval of the building pad and required relief was also approved for Lot 2 for a similarly sized 2-story home as was built on Lot 1. The owner/developer of Lot 2 is proposing to construct a single-story ranch home on Lot 2 and is therefore seeking to amend the building pad size and location and the required relief therein. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting approval of the following: 1) Final Plat of Subdivision for Lot 2 of Benton Street Subdivision to amend the permitted building envelope for Lot 2 to allow a ranch-style home to be constructed, instead of the initially identified 2-story home; 2) Special Use for a yard in the floodplain for Lot 2; and 3) Special Use to permit the filling of land in the floodplain, with the required compensatory storage for Lot 2. KEY ISSUES: • The Subject Lot, except for the approved building pad, remains entirely ensconced in the floodplain and covered within a drainage easement. When Lot 1 was developed, the building pads were raised outside the floodplain for both lots, and were reviewed and approved for the required zoning relief. Nevertheless, only Lot 1 was developed and a new single-family home was constructed upon it. Although the zoning relief and engineering plans were Page 204 of 210  approved for Lot 2, it was not developed and no engineering work was completed on Lot 2. The current property owner intends to develop the lot with a single-story ranch-style home, which will require a building pad with differing dimensions. • Therefore, new special uses for fill in a floodplain and yard in a floodplain are required for the proposed home on Lot 2. Additionally, as the subdivision was approved with a specific building pad for Lot 2, the proposed building pad for the ranch home will also require approval. The revised building pad would comply with all the minimum required R-1 setback requirements. The proposed building pad is 70 feet by 70 feet, with a 10-foot by 25-foot addition on the north side of the property to accommodate a 3rd car for the garage. • As was the condition when the subdivision was approved, S. Benton Street terminated in front of the home at 947 S. Benton Street, but the unimproved Benton Street right-of-way continues past Lot 2. Lot 2 will be serviced by a driveway through the right-of-way for access to the home. In addition to the S. Benton Street right-of-way, the unimproved northern 33-foot right-of-way for Willmette Road is directly south of Lot 2. This right-of-way will remain unimproved and is not part of the development of Lot 2 or Benton Street Subdivision. • With the development of Lot 1 and as a component of the engineering plans, the storm sewer (21-inch) was extended along the frontages of both lots. As a required condition of the 2009 special uses, the efficacy of the storm sewers was required to be tested after the occurrence of a minimum 2.5-inch rain event (or other significant rain event deemed sufficient by the Village Engineer), for a 24- hour period to ensure its functional operation. Since the development of Lot 1 and the completion of the storm sewer, there have not been any flooding or drainage issues noted or reported to the Village of Palatine. • The engineering plans provide the required 110% compensatory storage for the additional fill in the floodplain associated with the alterations to the building pad. The required Special Use for yard in a floodplain is also a reflection of the modifications to the building pad and the change from the 2008 approval. • The Village Engineer has reviewed the proposed engineering plans and materials and has conditionally accepted their contents. BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Public Hearing: Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) meeting on April 28, 2026. Residents testifying: 4. Questions and concerns about the impact to the surrounding properties. Vote: The PZC voted 6-1 to approve the Final Plat of Subdivision for Lot 2 and Special Uses.

Preliminary subsurface investigation activities were performed at the site to evaluate potential environmental concerns related to releases associated Leaking Underground Storage Tank Incidents. Concentrations of Benzene above the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives were revealed in soil samples collected from the floor of tanks when removed and replaced. Soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells at the site were used to gather initial information regarding the extent of on-site soil and groundwater contamination that exceeds the IEPA soil standards and groundwater objectives. The owner's environmental consultant has fully characterized on-site soil and groundwater conditions. The proposed Corrective Actions would mitigate any threat to human health, human safety or the environment associated with the prior releases. The Village Council passed Ordinances in 2024 and 2025 in response to a request by the property owner’s environmental consultant. After the IEPA’s review, modifications to the proposed boundary were needed to be followed by language changes required by the IEPA. The consultant has requested a new ordinance with an updated map and updated language be used. KEY ISSUES: • The owner of the site wishes to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the IEPA. • To obtain an NFR would put limitations on groundwater use at the subject area and in any direction of migration. • The groundwater flow direction at the subject property was calculated to be toward the north and east. Groundwater contamination is predicted to migrate off the subject property in all four directions. A limited local groundwater ordinance is proposed pursuant to 35 IAC Section 742.1015 for the area surrounding the subject property. • Currently, the Village Code would not permit the installation of private wells as municipal water serves all properties within the area. This ordinance would prohibit the use of groundwater as a potable water supply at the site and areas surrounding the site. • No community water supply wells or private wells are located within 2,500 feet of the site.

Preliminary subsurface investigation activities were performed at the site to evaluate potential environmental concerns related to releases associated with Leaking Underground Storage Tank Incidents. Concentrations of Benzene above the IEPA Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives were revealed in soil samples collected from the floor of tanks when removed and replaced. Soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells at the site were used to gather initial information regarding the extent of on-site soil and groundwater contamination that exceeds the IEPA soil standards and groundwater objectives. The owner's consultant has fully characterized on-site soil and groundwater conditions and demonstrated that contaminated media has not migrated beyond the property boundaries of the site. The proposed Corrective Actions would mitigate any threat to human health, human safety or the environment associated with the prior releases. The Village Council passed Ordinances in 2024 and 2025 in response to a request by the property owner’s environmental consultant. After the IEPA’s review, modifications to the proposed boundary were needed to be followed by language changes required by the IEPA. The consultant has requested a new ordinance with an updated map and updated language be used. KEY ISSUES: • The owner of the site wishes to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the IEPA. To do so, they would self-impose a restriction on buildings on the site to be limited to slab on grade construction without basements. They would further restrict themselves to Industrial/Commercial uses due to soil conditions which are proposed to have no further treatment. • Also required to obtain an NFR would be the limitations on groundwater use at the subject area and in any direction of migration. • The groundwater flow direction at the subject property was calculated to be toward the east-southeast. Groundwater contamination is predicted to migrate off the subject property in all four directions. A limited local groundwater ordinance is proposed pursuant to 35 IAC Section 742.1015 for the area surrounding the subject property. • Currently, the Village Code would not permit the installation of private wells as municipal water serves all properties within the area. This ordinance would prohibit the use of groundwater as a potable water supply at the site and areas Page 209 of 210  surrounding the site. • Two non-community water supply wells were historically located within a 2,500- foot radius of the site and are no longer operational. • No community water supply wells are located within 2,500 feet of the site. • No regulated recharge areas are located within a 2,500-foot radius of the site.
