LePORE:· It's hard for us to 23· · ·say because Rose will be the tenant. 24· · · · · · · ·And I know they are going to have to DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 25 of 117 20 ·1· · ·apply for special use so they would be the guys ·2· · ·best to answer that. ·3· · · · · · · ·But it's our understanding compared to a ·4· · ·trucking company it's going to be significantly ·5· · ·less for them. ·6· · · · · · · ·Employees coming in and out, it's going ·7· · ·to be their headquarters.· So cars will be going ·8· · ·in and out, but in terms of large vehicles we ·9· · ·expect it to be relatively low traffic. 10· · · · · · · · · · MR. RZEDZIAN:· I am not sure about 11· · ·the count, but that's going to be trip in the 12· · ·morning, they are going to go out and then come 13· · ·back, so one trip per vehicle. 14· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Are there other 15· · ·questions up here?· I think that's all I have for 16· · ·now. 17· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· The 18· · ·questions are -- I couldn't find this in the 19· · ·package. 20· · · · · · · ·So the use, that's going to be Rose 21· · ·Paving, there's four units.· How many units? 22· · · · · · · · · · MR.

DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 32 of 117 27 ·1· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· No. ·2· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Questions to my ·3· · ·left? ·4· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· Can we ·5· · ·circle back and get a little more detail on this ·6· · ·fence?· I am looking at page -- at the bottom it ·7· · ·says 123 of 164 of the diagram. ·8· · · · · · · ·So Marc, where is this fence? ·9· · · · · · · ·And it's going to be an 8 foot 10· · ·chain-link fence. 11· · · · · · · ·Is this going to surround the entire 12· · ·perimeter of this property? 13· · · · · · · · · · MR.

HOUSE:· So the existing pylon ·6· · ·sign could remain, as long as no structural ·7· · ·changes are made to that sign. ·8· · · · · · · ·The Applicant is permitted to replace ·9· · ·the panels within that until such time that the 10· · ·sign is not of useful life anymore. 11· · · · · · · ·At that time the sign would need to be 12· · ·removed and a compliant sign design which would be 13· · ·more monument in style would need to be installed. 14· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· Or we could 15· · ·make that a requirement now. 16· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· Can we go 17· · ·to Page 147, the rendering of the building?· Yes, 18· · ·thank you. 19· · · · · · · ·So knowing that the unit to the -- the 20· · ·vanilla boxed unit to the east that is potentially 21· · ·open for a separate occupant, the proposed 22· · ·rendering shows that the middle is very much 23· · ·advertised for the proposed cannabis dispensary. 24· · · · · · · ·Is their intent to then modify that to DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 56 of 117 9 ·1· · ·advertise for whatever comes into the east ·2· · ·section, and if so, where? ·3· · · · · · · · · · MR. GOULD:· Brian Gould, BR Design. ·4· · · · · · · ·Correct.· So that east side would have ·5· · ·its own signage for that tenant.· There's still ·6· · ·remaining square footage for that tenant to be ·7· · ·utilized for their signage. ·8· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· Is the ·9· · ·intent to put the signage on the building? 10· · · · · · · · · · MR.

GOULD:· Yes, there's two 17· · ·entrances to that location; one to the west -- 18· · ·double doors to the west and double doors to the 19· · ·east. 20· · · · · · · ·But the look to is to create one single 21· · ·monument to give it some appeal. 22· · · · · · · · · · MR.

McLAUGHLIN:· Once the permit 11· · ·gets issued that's when we really lock it in. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· I am 13· · ·thinking beyond the current application of how we 14· · ·treat the potential tenant that comes into the 15· · ·east with regard to planning, not necessarily 16· · ·zoning. 17· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Completely with 18· · ·you. 19· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· So if you look 20· · ·at Page 143, Justin, you can see how the entrances 21· · ·work. 22· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY: I 23· · ·understand. 24· · · · · · · ·When I heard 3 it didn't compute based DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 59 of 117 12 ·1· · ·upon the renderings that I had. ·2· · · · · · · · · · MR.

GOULD:· Yeah, they are 22· · ·currently there. 23· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I have a 24· · ·quick question. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 60 of 117 13 ·1· · · · · · · ·Is there a cross access easement between ·2· · ·the property and the property to the west that is ·3· · ·preventing sort of closing that portion of the ·4· · ·west property landscape area? ·5· · · · · · · · · · MR. DABABNEH:· ·No -- Ramiz ·6· · ·Dabaneh, I am with RBD Associates. ·7· · · · · · · ·There is no current easements.· The only ·8· · ·easement that's per the plat is the 10 foot ·9· · ·utility easement on the north side of the property 10· · ·line.· That's on the west. 11· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· So that area 12· · ·up on the front, is that something -- 13· · · · · · · ·Marc, you understand what I am asking? 14· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Absolutely. 15· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I mean, so 16· · ·what -- 17· · · · · · · · · · MR. DABABNEH:· There's the 18· · ·landscape buffer. 19· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE: I 20· · ·understand, but I am talking about the front end, 21· · ·where there is no landscape buffer, and you can 22· · ·get to the adjacent parking lot over to the west. 23· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· So a cross access 24· · ·easement would have to be coordinated with the DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 61 of 117 14 ·1· · ·adjacent property owner, cross access between. ·2· · · · · · · ·Operationally the adjacent property ·3· · ·owner is a used auto dealer who traditionally ·4· · ·parks a vehicle at the end of that location to ·5· · ·prohibit any cross access. ·6· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· That's fine. ·7· · ·They have cones there based on my Google street ·8· · ·view; right? ·9· · · · · · · ·But at some point in time, it's like we 10· · ·are doing work -- 11· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Uh huh.· If they 12· · ·were coming in as a joint, I would be completely 13· · ·on board with you. 14· · · · · · · ·The adjacent property owner has not 15· · ·asked for anything at this particular time.· Maybe 16· · ·we will catch it later but... 17· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I am kind of 18· · ·suggesting to the Petitioner that maybe we extend 19· · ·that, unless you don't mind like the potential of 20· · ·people crossing. 21· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· So I was looking 22· · ·at the curb flare in aerial view at some point in 23· · ·time that functioned as a single drive. 24· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Conceivably, DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 62 of 117 15 ·1· · ·yes, most likely. ·2· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· I mean, the ·3· · ·consolidated project, whether it was consolidated ·4· · ·or not, and that could be -- could have been IDOT ·5· · ·trying to reduce the number of curb cuts.· It ·6· · ·could have been all other common ownership. I ·7· · ·don't know historically. ·8· · · · · · · · · · MR. DABABNEH:· There is a drain ·9· · ·that's been, I guess, draining off both sites.· So 10· · ·I guess our site and their site are both -- along 11· · ·that west property line on our site. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Oh, the 13· · ·drains are straddling the property line? 14· · · · · · · · · · MR. DABABNEH:· Yeah, right at the 15· · ·end of that depressed island. 16· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· You see the 17· · ·island, there is a little square -- you can see it 18· · ·in the aerials. 19· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Page 141 of the 20· · ·packet, if you zoom in above the Call Julie stamp: 21· · · · · · · ·Existing storm manhole at the rim and 22· · ·it's in green.· That is in IDOT. 23· · · · · · · ·And there's also, if you follow up 24· · ·further, existing catch basin with the rim DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 63 of 117 16 ·1· · ·elevation, and that's just at the 89, 48, 27. ·2· · · · · · · ·So that is obviously in the center line ·3· · ·of two access points, one for each property. ·4· · · · · · · · · · MR. GOULD:· We don't want to close ·5· · ·that off.· I am thinking about -- ·6· · · · · · · · · · MR. DABABNEH:· I think the intent ·7· · ·is for water to drain off into that. ·8· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Yeah, I ·9· · ·understand the intent of what's happening. I 10· · ·just -- I am thinking about the property owner. I 11· · ·am just sort of projecting onto the petition and 12· · ·what we are trying to do. 13· · · · · · · ·The idea is sort of -- the potential for 14· · ·free access across that.· Somebody might not like 15· · ·that or whatever.· Just bringing it to your 16· · ·attention. 17· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Are you looking 18· · ·for a cross access easement to be put on this 19· · ·property to pick it up for when the next guy comes 20· · ·along and we can put it on their property as well 21· · ·and then have true cross access? 22· · · · · · · ·Or are you looking to restrict it and 23· · ·say, you know what, everybody has their own access 24· · ·off of IDOT?· I don't know. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 64 of 117 17 ·1· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I am ·2· · ·bringing it to the Petitioner's attention to have ·3· · ·that conversation amongst themselves, if they want ·4· · ·to prevent that or facilitate that how they want ·5· · ·to work their property and have their property ·6· · ·operate.· It just jumped out at me obviously. ·7· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Yeah, the way ·8· · ·the property to the west has their parking lot ·9· · ·marked, the east is an in and the west is an out. 10· · ·They have them marked as one way.· Whether or not 11· · ·it functions that way, I can't say. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Correct. 13· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Any other 14· · ·questions? 15· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Just a point 16· · ·of clarification: 17· · · · · · · ·Is it fair to say that that entrance off 18· · ·of Villa is predominantly for the towing business 19· · ·on the back end? 20· · · · · · · · · · MR. GOULD:· Correct. 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· It looks 22· · ·like they have a fence sort of too? 23· · · · · · · · · · MR. GOULD:· Correct. 24· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· It sort of DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 65 of 117 18 ·1· · ·cordons off that area? ·2· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Yeah, there is a ·3· · ·fence with a gate and during the day it's open for ·4· · ·traffic flow.· In the evening it's shut down and ·5· · ·secured. ·6· · · · · · · ·We tried not to really do too much on ·7· · ·there.· We did get the parking readjusted but we ·8· · ·are not issuing a special use for that side.· We ·9· · ·are not diving into that.· We tried to really 10· · ·reign ourselves in but we got the parking 11· · ·adjusted. 12· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· I think you will 13· · ·get quite a bit of southbound Villa traffic but 14· · ·dispensaries become destination uses for the 15· · ·people that frequent them. 16· · · · · · · ·If you are coming from Villa that's 17· · ·going to be the easiest way always. 18· · · · · · · ·And if you are trying to go back south 19· · ·on Villa that's the only way you are going to 20· · ·leave because you can't make a left turn on there. 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· It's pretty 22· · ·congested.· It's not something that -- you sort of 23· · ·navigate through that lot.· I couldn't get back 24· · ·there because there was a tow truck that was DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 66 of 117 19 ·1· · ·shuffling around. ·2· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· So what do you ·3· · ·anticipate your hours of operation being. ·4· · · · · · · · · · MR. FAKHOURI:· So 8:00 to ·5· · ·10:00 p.m. are the planned hours.· That's what is ·6· · ·allowed per state law, so not outside of that. ·7· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Seven days a ·8· · ·week, 8:00 to 10:00? ·9· · · · · · · · · · MR. FAKHOURI:· Correct. 10· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· I have a couple 11· · ·other operational questions. 12· · · · · · · ·About how many employees do you estimate 13· · ·at a shift? 14· · · · · · · · · · MR.

DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 67 of 117 20 ·1· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Overnight you ·2· · ·will be relying on the security systems primarily? ·3· · · · · · · · · · MR.

McLAUGHLIN:· Sadly the 23· · ·billboard is outside of our current purview. 24· · · · · · · ·So just a heads-up regarding signage, DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 68 of 117 21 ·1· · ·the height is allowed by code at 25, even if they ·2· · ·put a brand new sign.· The only thing we would be ·3· · ·getting rid of would be the pole. ·4· · · · · · · ·Monument is still allowed at a height of ·5· · ·25 in the zoning district on this road. ·6· · · · · · · ·So if you are trying to go for a lower ·7· · ·scale, if you said meet code, it's 25 feet.· Still ·8· · ·large.· So wanted to put that out for ·9· · ·clarification. 10· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· Looking for 11· · ·something that looks a lot better than what it 12· · ·does.· I am not a fan. 13· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· I don't think I 14· · ·would apply a condition but they certainly 15· · ·could -- Supreme Lobster up the road did a wrap of 16· · ·their pole sign.· We have had a few that have done 17· · ·that, so something to consider. 18· · · · · · · ·But I don't think I would want to try to 19· · ·condition something like that. 20· · · · · · · ·Any other comments from the Commission? 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I had a 22· · ·quick question: 23· · · · · · · ·In your presentation you alluded to the 24· · ·1500 foot sort of number between.· We are clearly DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 69 of 117 22 ·1· · ·over that number. ·2· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· That's a state ·3· · ·licensing requirement and the state deals with ·4· · ·that. ·5· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Do ·6· · ·municipalities have the ability to override that ·7· · ·and make that bigger, just out of curiosity? ·8· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· So our code mimics ·9· · ·State Statute, Section C under the cannabis says: 10· · · · · · · · ·No. 2:· No special use may be granted 11· · · · · · · · ·for any location that is within 12· · · · · · · · ·1500 feet of another dispensary 13· · · · · · · · ·organization. 14· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· And at the state 15· · ·originally there was an assumption that it was a 16· · ·race to be -- for that distance but they have -- I 17· · ·don't want to say they have loosened it. 18· · · · · · · ·But it has more to do with when you 19· · ·apply rather than when you get the shovel in the 20· · ·ground. 21· · · · · · · ·In the beginning everybody thought it 22· · ·was going to be when you got the shovel in the 23· · ·ground so everybody was racing.· That slowed down 24· · ·a little bit. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 70 of 117 23 ·1· · · · · · · ·Municipalities do have the ability to ·2· · ·put restrictions on them related to -- I believe ·3· · ·state law says -- sensitive uses, so schools, ·4· · ·things like that. ·5· · · · · · · ·Chicago says 500 feet of a school, for ·6· · ·instance.· We don't have anything like that on ·7· · ·ours. ·8· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· No.· As a ·9· · ·non-home-rule municipality we cannot be more 10· · ·restrictive than the state statute. 11· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Well, the state 12· · ·does allow all municipalities to restrict, I 13· · ·believe.· I could be wrong on that. 14· · · · · · · ·I mean, we don't have that ordinance. 15· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· We do not. 16· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· So it's 17· · ·irrelevant. 18· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· That is also true. 19· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· That would be a 20· · ·different discussion. 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· At this 22· · ·time they comply. 23· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· That is correct. 24· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Completely, DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 71 of 117 24 ·1· · ·yeah. ·2· · · · · · · ·I am just thinking about it globally, ·3· · ·big picture, comprehensively what's going on. ·4· · · · · · · ·We have one further down on the west ·5· · ·toward Addison essentially and then this one is on ·6· · ·the east.· They could be conceivably further apart ·7· · ·from each other but not much more than they ·8· · ·currently are. ·9· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Right.· They are 10· · ·on the other ends of our municipality on North 11· · ·Avenue. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Exactly.· So 13· · ·potentially there could be two more in between, if 14· · ·we have petitioners beating down the village hall 15· · ·community development door. 16· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Say one more. 17· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· We could have one 18· · ·more based on the spacing of the one that's 19· · ·already been approved and operational. 20· · · · · · · ·So the 1500 can overlap; right.· So you 21· · ·can put one in there at 1500 and 1500. 22· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· You are 23· · ·saying it's 3,000 then between? 24· · · · · · · · · · MS. HOUSE:· One 1500, another one DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 72 of 117 25 ·1· · ·1500, and then a third. ·2· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· So only ·3· · ·3,000.· So there could be none in between? ·4· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· With the existing ·5· · ·one at 305 West North Avenue, the proposed one in ·6· · ·front of us right now, if approved we would have ·7· · ·the availability for one more dispensary on North ·8· · ·Avenue based on the 1500 foot separation. ·9· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Between 10· · ·them. 11· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Only one 12· · ·between. 13· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· I am measuring 14· · ·4500 feet between them. 15· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· That's accurate. 16· · ·But you have 1500 from this one, 1500 from this 17· · ·one, but this one circles 3,000 feet. 18· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· So in other 19· · ·words it's 3,000 feet between? 20· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· No, it's 1500. 21· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· So the 1500 foot 22· · ·circle of one to another can overlap because it's 23· · ·feet. 24· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· That's math, DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 73 of 117 26 ·1· · ·yeah.· We are arguing a nuance. ·2· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· At a later date I ·3· · ·can show you -- ·4· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· I would love ·5· · ·to see your math. ·6· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· Eric, I am ·7· · ·following you.· I think it's just under a mile ·8· · ·between the current dispensary named Greenleaf and ·9· · ·your proposed Mint Cannabis. 10· · · · · · · ·You are right on the money at 4500. I 11· · ·agree with you; you could likely sandwich two in 12· · ·between there. 13· · · · · · · ·Do I want to see four dispensaries on 14· · ·North Avenue, absolutely not, no. 15· · · · · · · ·I think -- and I struggled with this.

HOUSE:· The Applicant tonight 10· · ·is requesting a variation for a side yard setback. 11· · ·The home is a single dwelling residential in the 12· · ·RS 7.5 district. 13· · · · · · · ·They are requesting a variation from 14· · ·Table 2-3 of Article 2, Section 2.3, for lot and 15· · ·building regulations of the zoning ordinance for a 16· · ·required minimum side yard south setback. 17· · · · · · · ·I will go over a summary of their 18· · ·request and offer any comments by the Petitioner, 19· · ·allow for any questions from the Commission, 20· · ·returning for Commission discussion and motion, if 21· · ·appropriate. 22· · · · · · · ·The home has an existing open stairwell 23· · ·on the south side of the property, which is shown 24· · ·on the left side of this drawing, with an interior DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 87 of 117 4 ·1· · ·side yard setback of 5 feet to the exterior of an ·2· · ·open stairwell. ·3· · · · · · · ·The Petitioner wishes to enclose that ·4· · ·stairwell within the setback. ·5· · · · · · · ·That open stairwell is permitted to ·6· · ·encroach into the side yard setback, if it remains ·7· · ·open.· However the enclosure of that stairwell ·8· · ·means that it is encroaching now into the side ·9· · ·yard setback by 1 foot. 10· · · · · · · ·No other changes are proposed to the 11· · ·roofline of that open staircase or the remainder 12· · ·of the residence. 13· · · · · · · ·On the drawing on the right you can see 14· · ·the section of the home in red is the area 15· · ·requiring the variation. 16· · · · · · · ·On the right-hand side of the home there 17· · ·is a legal nonconforming setback on that side. 18· · ·That's not up for discussion tonight.· We are only 19· · ·requesting a variation for the section shown in 20· · ·red. 21· · · · · · · ·On the screen is some of the 22· · ·architectural drawings that the Applicant 23· · ·submitted, showing they would be adding a door and 24· · ·enclosing the open stairwell with windows and DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 88 of 117 5 ·1· · ·walls.· The roof structure would remain as is. ·2· · · · · · · ·Also provided on the screen are the ·3· · ·variations standards to consider this application ·4· · ·against. ·5· · · · · · · ·We will hold a public hearing, and then ·6· · ·Staff has provided a sample motion, and with that ·7· · ·Staff or the Applicant can answer any questions. ·8· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Okay.· Is your ·9· · ·last name pronounced Yacub? 10· · · · · · · · · · MR.

YACUB:· The reason we are doing 18· · ·this is for the safety.· Right now it's an open 19· · ·staircase.· So what happens during the winter 20· · ·season the snow falls there and it becomes very 21· · ·slippery. 22· · · · · · · ·And I have three incidents.· Once I fell 23· · ·down and hurt my back and we had also maintenance 24· · ·people coming in and they slipped and fell down. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 89 of 117 6 ·1· · · · · · · ·The main reason for me doing this is for ·2· · ·the safety. ·3· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Thank you. ·4· · · · · · · ·All right.· We may have questions for ·5· · ·you, but if you want to, you can sit right there ·6· · ·for now and we will let you know. ·7· · · · · · · ·All right.· Any public comment or ·8· · ·questions on this agenda item? ·9· · · · · · · · · · · ·(No response.) 10· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· All right. 11· · ·Seeing none, questions from the Commission? 12· · · · · · · ·Anybody? 13· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Was that 14· · ·little roof and columns, that was existing, that 15· · ·was there when you -- originally from the house; 16· · ·is that correct? 17· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· That was there when we 18· · ·purchased the house. 19· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· All right. 20· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· When did 21· · ·you start the construction of the walls and 22· · ·everything? 23· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· It was around January 24· · ·of this year. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 90 of 117 7 ·1· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Any other ·2· · ·questions? ·3· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· Is this the ·4· · ·only access to the basement in this house? ·5· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· This is the main ·6· · ·entrance to the basement.· We have one entrance ·7· · ·from inside.· So a lot of maintenance people come ·8· · ·in.· Like we had a water heater broken up, so they ·9· · ·had to take it from this side. 10· · · · · · · ·Another thing is my son lives in the 11· · ·basement and he uses that entrance a lot. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· Jason, I 13· · ·only have one other question. 14· · · · · · · ·Will the exterior wall treatments be 15· · ·consistent with the rest of the house and will the 16· · ·windows also be consistent with the rest of the 17· · ·house so that it compliments? 18· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· Yes, the windows 19· · ·attached to the house. 20· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· All right.· Any 21· · ·other questions from either end? 22· · · · · · · · · · · ·(No response.) 23· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Do you have any 24· · ·final comments before we move to discussion and a DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 91 of 117 8 ·1· · ·vote up here? ·2· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· No. ·3· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Okay.· All ·4· · ·right.· Discussion? ·5· · · · · · · ·The only thing I can state is I don't ·6· · ·know that I have seen a residence in Villa Park ·7· · ·with an entrance like that.· I have seen walk-in ·8· · ·basements and bungalows like mine but off the side ·9· · ·is not what I have seen much. 10· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· This is 11· · ·original to the construction of the house? 12· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· Right. 13· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· From the 14· · ·2006-2007 period? 15· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· Foundation. 16· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· It's there, 17· · ·yeah. 18· · · · · · · ·There was an addition to the side. 19· · · · · · · ·Was that permitted and is that -- 20· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· That's what 21· · ·he is asking for tonight. 22· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· No, not the 23· · ·enclosure. 24· · · · · · · ·Just the original lean to from the DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 92 of 117 9 ·1· · ·house.· Was that permitted and is it conforming? ·2· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· The roof and the ·3· · ·stairwell are allowed encroachments in the side ·4· · ·yard.· The wall is not. ·5· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Yeah, it looks ·6· · ·like the roof addition was sometime after 2013 and ·7· · ·before April of 2015. ·8· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· Sometime in ·9· · ·that era. 10· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Yeah. 11· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· Based on 12· · ·pictures that I saw. 13· · · · · · · ·But there is access to the basement from 14· · ·the interior of the house, like every other house 15· · ·that has a basement. 16· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· So even the house 17· · ·contractor who does the snow, he even refuses to 18· · ·clean the snow in this stairs.· It's very unsafe 19· · ·for him.· My main argument here is it's for the 20· · ·safety, you know. 21· · · · · · · ·One of our main reasons of buying this 22· · ·house was we had this private entrance from the 23· · ·outside.· And now after buying that we found it's 24· · ·not usable for most of the time. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 93 of 117 10 ·1· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· When did you buy ·2· · ·the house? ·3· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· 2013. ·4· · · · · · · ·One more thing, the variation is not 1 ·5· · ·foot.· It's like 5 or 6 inches, .6 foot. ·6· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Just over half a ·7· · ·foot. ·8· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· I think, ·9· · ·Jason, I am familiar with this concept of the 10· · ·exterior point of ingress and egress being on what 11· · ·is considered the rear of the house, as opposed to 12· · ·the side of the house. 13· · · · · · · ·And in addition, I am also familiar with 14· · ·it being fully enclosed with a roof, pillars and 15· · ·it being fully enclosed, whether it be by a solid 16· · ·material or some kind of, you know, vinyl with a 17· · ·screen, so that there will be open air space. 18· · · · · · · ·But to the Petitioner's point of safety, 19· · ·I do understand that as well.· There is only so 20· · ·much that a handrail can handle, when you are 21· · ·using that as a point of ingress and egress and 22· · ·not just an occasional once or twice up or down 23· · ·the stairs. 24· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Yeah, my stair DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 94 of 117 11 ·1· · ·off the rear is technically open air but it's ·2· · ·enclosed on three sides because it's under a porch ·3· · ·and it has concrete -- I call them knee walls but ·4· · ·they come up above your shoulder because of the ·5· · ·property depth.· And I know even with that it can ·6· · ·get pretty tricky because snow blows in. ·7· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER SHLENSKY:· I mean, ·8· · ·given the current status of the structure that ·9· · ·exists with the lean to and just the request to 10· · ·kind of close it up and fully enclose that with a 11· · ·door, to Petitioner's point, and closing in the 12· · ·walls, I don't really struggle with this one. I 13· · ·am pretty much in support of this one. 14· · · · · · · ·It's not across the whole length of the 15· · ·house.· It's a di minimus area. 16· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ROMANO:· It's not 17· · ·additionally encroaching.· The footprint is 18· · ·already there. 19· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· If it's 20· · ·accurate that it's .6 feet -- 21· · · · · · · ·Is that accurate, Marc, from your 22· · ·documentation? 23· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Yes, that is 24· · ·correct. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 95 of 117 12 ·1· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· That could ·2· · ·technically fall into administrative adjustment or ·3· · ·not? ·4· · · · · · · · · · MS. HOUSE:· It did; however there ·5· · ·was a letter we received in opposition.· There ·6· · ·were questions regarding the application.· Thus, ·7· · ·we could not approve it administratively and ·8· · ·that's why it's before us tonight. ·9· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· But by the 10· · ·description it could have fell into that category? 11· · · · · · · · · · MS. HOUSE:· It could have. 12· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· It was that 13· · ·close? 14· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· Yeah, we ran it 15· · ·through that process and we received opposition so 16· · ·that ends that. 17· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Was that 18· · ·opposition the neighbor to the south? 19· · · · · · · · · · MS. HOUSE:· No. 20· · · · · · · · · · MR. McLAUGHLIN:· The opposition has 21· · ·since been removed, after additional 22· · ·clarification, but we couldn't go back. 23· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Yeah.· Well, 24· · ·that's helpful to know. DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 96 of 117 13 ·1· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· I have one ·2· · ·more question and that is: ·3· · · · · · · ·Is there an area well drain at the ·4· · ·bottom of that stairwell? ·5· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· There is one drain ·6· · ·there. ·7· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· I hate ·8· · ·opening up this can of worms. ·9· · · · · · · ·Does that drain into the sewer or into 10· · ·the sump pump? 11· · · · · · · · · · MR. YACUB:· I think it goes to the 12· · ·sump pump. 13· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· Okay. 14· · ·Which, if it went into the sewer, it would still 15· · ·be all right, if it was enclosed. 16· · · · · · · ·So it would be another hardship and 17· · ·another reason to grant, you know, the variance. 18· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Unless there's 19· · ·additional discussion, does anybody want to make a 20· · ·motion? 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· I move to 22· · ·recommend approval of PZ-24-10 for a variation of 23· · ·Table 2-3 of Article 2, Section 2.3, Lot and 24· · ·Building Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, to DOERING REPORTING, INC.· 630.340.1383 YVer1f Page 97 of 117 14 ·1· · ·reduce the minimum interior side yard setback ·2· · ·requirements to 5 feet along the south property ·3· · ·line, as described in Exhibit B, for 1116 North ·4· · ·Princeton Avenue. ·5· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· There is a ·6· · ·motion. ·7· · · · · · · ·Is there a second? ·8· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ROMANO:· Second. ·9· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Motion seconded 10· · ·by Commissioner Romano. 11· · · · · · · ·Any questions or comments on the motion 12· · ·to approve? 13· · · · · · · · · · · ·(No response.) 14· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· All right.· Roll 15· · ·call. 16· · · · · · · ·Calvert? 17· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER CALVERT:· Yes. 18· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· LeMieux? 19· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LeMIEUX:· Yes. 20· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Luedtke? 21· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER LUEDTKE:· Yes. 22· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Orlowski? 23· · · · · · · · · · COMMISSIONER ORLOWSKI:· Yes. 24· · · · · · · · · · CHAIRMAN JARRETT:· Romano?

Charles Avenue | Variation PETITIONER OWNER Thadius T. Collins Ted & Shari Collins 25 S. Charles Avenue 14602 N. Milton Road Villa Park, IL 60181 Lewistown, IL 61542 Request Summary The Petitioner is requesting a Public Hearing to consider approval of a Variation for an interior side yard setback reduction. Background The Subject Property has a single-story residence with a legal nonconforming interior side yard setback of 5.04 feet. The Petitioner wishes to expand the residence with a second story addition over the existing foundation. A second addition in the rear of the home would feature compliant side yard setbacks. Site Information Present Zoning: Residential Single-Dwelling District - 7,500 Sq. Ft. - RS-7.5 Present Land Use: Single Dwelling Residential Property Size: 7,491 sq. ft. / 0.17 acres PINs: 06-10-102-005 Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Land Use North: Residential Single-Dwelling District - 7,500 Sq. Ft. - RS-7.5 Single Dwelling Residential West: Residential Single-Dwelling District - 7,500 Sq. Ft. - RS-7.5 Single Dwelling Residential East: Residential Single-Dwelling District - 7,500 Sq. Ft. - RS-7.5 Single Dwelling Residential South: Residential Single-Dwelling District - 7,500 Sq. Ft. - RS-7.5 Single Dwelling Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation – Single-Family Residential This land use category is intended for detached single-family residential dwellings of generally one to two stories in height. This classification encompasses most of the Village’s established residential neighborhoods. Zoning Request The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Variation from Table 2-3 of Article 2, Section 2.3. – Lot and Building Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the required minimum side yard (north) setback from 6.0 feet to 5.0 feet to allow a second-story addition on the existing foundation of the home. Internal Staff Review Variation The Zoning Ordinance specifically allows for Variation petitions in order to grant relief to a property owner from strict compliance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Variations are intended to help alleviate a practical Page 113 of 117 difficulty or particular hardship that would be caused by the literal enforcement of the subject ordinance requirements and are site specific. The existing residence has a legal nonconforming side yard (north) setback of 5.0 feet. The Petitioner proposes a second-story addition extending the existing first floor walls vertically within the existing side yard setback. The Petitioner also proposes a rear addition that is compliant with required side and rear yard setbacks. Exhibit A includes the proposed plans for the second-story addition. The Plat of Survey is provided as Exhibit B which shows the existing side yard (north) setback. No change or expansion of the side yard (north) setback is proposed. Site Plan Review 1. Building and Structure Location - The following comments relate to the issue of building and structure location in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The second-story addition would be a vertical expansion of the existing single-story residence only. No additional horizontal expansion within the side yard setback is proposed. b. The proposed rear addition is compliant with side and rear setback requirements. 2. Building scale - The following comments relate to the issue of building scale in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The proposed height of the addition is 26.67 feet which is compliant with the 28.0-foot height maximum. 3. Lot Coverage - The following comments relate to the issue of lot coverage in regard to the proposed development plans: a. The Petitioner will remove some existing lot coverage in the area of the driveway to accommodate the additional lot coverage proposed with the residence addition. b. The lot coverage will be recalculated through the building permit process to confirm the area proposed for removal is compliant with the Code permitted 60% lot coverage maximum. 4. Completeness - If the Planning and Zoning Commission requires additional information to determine whether the applicant’s development requests comply with the applicable standards of the Code, they may direct the Petitioner to furnish additional information and evidence that may provide clarity regarding their concerns. 2 Page 114 of 117 Permitted Principal Building Envelope: Variation Required: 3 Page 115 of 117 Findings Per Sec. 11.5.6.8. The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation must be accompanied by specific findings of fact regarding whether practical difficulties or particular hardships would result if a Variation is not granted. The Petitioner has submitted the following justification for a Variation from Article 2, Section 2.3, Table 2-3 of the Zoning Ordinance: 1. State the particular hardship and/or practical difficulty created for you in carrying out the strict letter of the zoning regulations to wit: The existing residence is non-conforming as it relates to the 6’ side yard setback along the north property line. The proposed addition of the second story and rear structure, if not stacked, creates a financial hardship and structural complexity. 2. A reasonable return or use of your property is not possible under the existing regulations because: Our family of seven has outgrown the existing house. We wish to remain in the neighborhood/community and the proposed renovation/addition will allow this. 3. Your situation is unique (not applicable in other properties in the area or zoning classification) in the following respect: The original house was built too close to the property line. 4. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; not increase hazard from fire; not impair property values in the neighborhood; not unduly increase congestion in the streets, or otherwise impair public safety; health and convenience because: With the exception of the side yard setback encroachment, all other codes and ordinances have been designed to. Notification Legal Notice was published in the Daily Herald on June 24, 2024, a sign placed on the subject property, and notifications sent to property owners within a 250.0 foot radius of the subject property in advance of the Public Hearing. Staff Recommendation Village staff has reviewed the petition and is supportive of the request. Recommended Action To recommend approval of PZ-24-11 for a Variation from Table 2-3 of Article 2 Section 2.3. – Lot and Building Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the minimum interior side yard (north) setback requirement to 5.0 feet along the north property line as depicted on Exhibit B for 25 S.
