ITEM SUMMARY:
Nicoleangela Building LLC, d/b/a Rai Concrete, requests a Special Use Permit and Lot Consolidation
for its business located at 1827 Blackhawk Drive. The Special Use would allow ancillary outdoor stor-
age on an adjacent lot in accord with Section 11.2-4(T) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Lot Consolida-
tion falls under the Subdivision Regulations Code and would turn the two lots into one, making it con-
sistent with the requirement found in Section 6.10 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Rai Concrete was granted a Special Use Permit in 1998 to allow a contractor’s office and outside
storage at 1827 Blackhawk Drive, and it was subsequently developed along those lines. In 2018, the
City became aware that Rai Concrete was using a neighboring property (currently addressed as 1817
Blackhawk Drive) for the storage of vehicles and materials related to its business, as well. A code en-
forcement action was initiated, prompting the owner to begin the new Special Use application pro-
cess. The activity on the neighboring lot also necessitates the lot combination with the property at
1827 Blackhawk Drive.
In considering the action, several conditions are included with the recommendation for approval:
. The outside storage yard is permitted only as an ancillary use to the existing contractor’s office.
. A Plat of Consolidation consolidating Parcels 01-32-301-020 and 01-32-301-019 into one (1)
parcel shall be recorded prior to the issuance of development permits.
. The property shall be developed in substantial conformance with the Preliminary Engineering
Plans prepared: by Craig R. Knoche & Associates dated August 17, 2018, revised November
29, 2018.
. Shrubs shall be added between the five (5) trees on the south side of the storage area, west of
the driveway. Shrubs shall be three (3) to five (5) gallons in size and either equally spaced be-
tween the shade trees or grouped in an appropriate manner as determined by the applicant's
landscape architect.
. The applicant's engineer shall verify that the comments in the Kane-DuPage Soil & Water
Conservation District's Land Use Opinion 18-032 dated March 6, 2018 have been adequately
addressed.
. The petitioner shall apply for a Site Development Permit within sixty (60) of City Council ap-
proval for the Special Use Permit and Lot Consolidation. If a Site Development Permit is not
applied for within this timeframe, all storage/parking shall be removed immediately from Parcel

01-21-301-020 or code enforcement action will be undertaken.
7. Development of the expanded storage yard shall be completed no later than December 31,
2019, unless an extension is approved by the Community Development Director.
The property is zoned M, Manufacturing, as are all its neighboring properties. The Comprehensive
Plan shows the area as Industrial.
No Plat of Consolidation was received in advance of preparation of this report, so the Lot Consolida-
tion will be handled at a later date.
The Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals members considered Special Use Findings of Fact
and voted 5-0 in support of both the Special Use Permit, handled by the attached Ordinance, and the
Lot Consolidation, to be handled at a later date. The Ordinance approval includes the conditions.
