The parking lots would be reconstructed with up to 97 spaces for box trucks and up to 31 spaces for trailers.

Trustee Richards stated that Planning and Zoning had a couple questions. The one thing that was discussed was that this will be a phased in project. The parking area will be first then the building expansion. This will clean up the property. Traffic was an issue that was brought up and Trustee Richards stated that should not be a problem at all. Storm water was also discussed and that will never be an issue. Mayor Noak stated that he is glad they are cleaning up the site. Trustee Chavez stated that two new fire hydrants are going in. This is a great improvement. Village of Romeoville Page 1 Printed on 9/9/2019 Village Board - Workshop Meeting Meeting Minutes July 17, 2019 ORD19-1580 An Ordinance Approving a Special Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development – Final Development Plan for Romeo V Development LLC Mr. Potter reported that Romeo V Development LLC has submitted a PUD-FDP applications for the lots on the west side of Weber Rd. between 135th St. and Carillon Drive. The lots west of Weber have had several approvals over the years. Recently, the County has acquired right of way from all of these properties for the Weber Rd. widening project. As a result of this ROW taking, all of the parking lots and signage do not meet current setbacks. The taking has also left very limited areas for the signs to be located. To address these issues, the applicant is requesting a new PUD be approved that would make the setbacks legal. It will also approve the location of new signs. The size and height of these signs will remain as previously approved. The Village has requested that any new signage be a monument style sign. The applicant has agreed to this request. Mayor Noak stated that these changes had to happen with the construction. Trustee Richards stated that the businesses on the east side will be doing this in the future as well. This is a housekeeping issue. Mayor Noak added that we need to encourage the County and State to clean up the material on the sites to make the corridor more appealing. ORD19-1584 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 32 (Fire Department) of The Village Code of Ordinances Chief Adams reported that this adds the ranks of Firefighter/Paramedic Tier 1 and Firefighter/Paramedic Tier 2 to the full time sworn ranks of the Fire Department as a way to reflect the primary job responsibility of newly appointed members. Firefighter/Paramedic Tier 2's will serve primarily as paramedics. We have been working with the Union to reflect this in the next contract which should be before the Board shortly. Mayor Noak stated that this is part of a process that we have been working on for quite some time. He thanked Chief Adams and his team. They should be very proud of the direction the department is heading. ORD19-1582 An Ordinance Authorizing the Execution of a Real Estate Purchase Contract with Cornerstone Services, Inc., an Illinois not for profit corporation (756 Independence Boulevard and 750 Honeytree) Mr Vogel reported that this authorizes the purchase of property from Village of Romeoville Page 2 Printed on 9/9/2019 Village Board - Workshop Meeting Meeting Minutes July 17, 2019 Cornerstone Services, Inc. consisting of two parcels located along Route 53. The price for the property totaling about 3.8 acres had been negotiated to be $450,000, but the parties have since verbally agreed to reduce that price to $422,500, representing a credit to the Village against the price equal to half of the proposed $55,000 cost to demolish the existing structures on the site. The property will be used for some type of open space, park, recreational, pathway or similar public purpose. This will be subject to final attorney review. Mayor Noak stated that he is glad to be moving forward with this. The plan is moving on the demolition and clean up of the site. 4.
