MINUTES
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
September 9, 2019, 7:00 P.M.
1. Call to Order, Roll Call, and Establishment of a Quorum.
Alderman Stout called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.
Roll call found Aldermen James Beifuss, Melissa Birch-Ferguson, Matt Garling, Jayme
Sheahan and Rebecca Stout present.
Also in attendance was Community Development Director, Tom Dabareiner.
2. Approval of Minutes.
A. August 12, 2019.
Alderman Sheahan moved and Alderman Garling seconded a motion to approve the
minutes. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Garling, Sheahan and Stout. Voting Nay: 0.
Voting to Abstain: Alderman Birch-Ferguson.
3. Public Participation.
Diane Ferguson of 30W276 Pomeroy Street spoke to the members. She recapped she had
previously talked to the members in 2018 about working to convey ownership of
McAuley School to the West Chicago Historical Society. She remarked that the idea of
restoring and resurrecting the school is in keeping with the spirit of Farmer McAuley’s
intention when he donated the land to build the school. She pointed out the resurrection
of the school would be of no cost to the taxpayers. And, in light of the fact that the
DuPage Business Center is taking off, it would bring to life the City motto of “Where
history and progress meet.” They have vendors, a structural engineer, landscapers,
painters, etc. lined up waiting to help. The school cannot be sold, and they hope that the
School District 33 will gift it. While there is additional work from the attorneys that
remains to be done, she hopes the members will agree to keep this matter moving along.

4, Items for Consent. None.
5. Items for Discussion.
Alderman Stout announced that the agenda items for the evening’s meeting would be
taken out of order.
B. 207 Main Street — Consideration of a Resolution authorizing award of a
facade grant in the amount of $950.00.
Alderman Beifuss informed about a text change needed to the Agenda Item Summary
whereby “garage door replacements” should be changed to “awnings.”
Alderman Birch-Ferguson moved and Alderman Beifuss seconded a motion to
approve this Item. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Birch-Ferguson, Garling,
Sheahan and Stout. Voting Nay: 0.
GC. 111-115 Galena Street — Consideration of a Resolution authorizing award of
a facade grant in the amount of $12,268.00.
Alderman Beifuss asked whether the applicant would be allowed to apply again for a
fagade grant in the next three years, given their award request is greater than $10,000.
Mr. Dabareiner said they would not be allowed. Alderman Garling asked Mr. Dabareiner
about the likelihood of receiving more grant requests for the remainder of the year if the
entire grant fund has already been awarded. Mr. Dabareiner replied they will not be able
to award any more grants, but they will likely receive two or three more inquiries.
Alderman Garling expressed caution about awarding nearly the entire year’s budget to
two requests from the same applicant. Mr. Dabareiner stated that it is allowed as they are
two different properties, even though it is the same owner.
Alderman Garling moved and Alderman Sheahan seconded a motion to approve
this Item. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Birch-Ferguson, Garling, Sheahan and
Stout. Voting Nay: 0.
D. 136 West Washington Street — Consideration of a Resolution authorizing
award of a facade grant in the amount of $16,782.00.
Alderman Beifuss asked for clarification on why the amount requested is more than the
amount being awarded, and Mr. Dabareiner explained it is because it is what is left in the
facade grant fund. Alderman Beifuss stated that in the past, awards were granted on a

first come, first serve basis. He asked what happens if requests are received after the
funds have already been awarded, and Mr. Dabareiner answered that interested parties are
encouraged to apply after the first of the year, and he added that applications are
reviewed in the order they are received.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson moved and Alderman Beifuss seconded a motion to
approve this Item. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Birch-Ferguson, Garling,
Sheahan and Stout. Voting Nay: 0.
E. 124 West Stimmel Street — Plat of Easement for Storm Sewer and Drainage.
Alderman Garling moved and Alderman Sheahan seconded a motion to approve
this Item. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Birch-Ferguson, Garling, Sheahan and
Stout. Voting Nay: 0.
A. 191 West North Avenue — Amendment to the Final PUD for the Shoppes of
West Chicago to allow the sharing of parking within the development to
accommodate a proposed banquet facility.
Tom Dabareiner explained this item was tabled at last month’s meeting so that the
petitioner could meet with staff and firm up some of the facts. They did indeed meet, and
the location of the banquet facility has changed and is now proposed in Units 6 & 7,
which is slightly smaller than the previous location. This results in one fewer parking
space being required. The hours of operation have increased to 5 PM to midnight
Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to midnight on Saturday and Sunday. He also
reviewed the hours of operations for the other tenants, and pointed out that if the tenant
mix and operating hours change, this could present challenges for parking. If demand
exceeds supply, unsafe or illegal parking can result. Staff’s recommendation remains the
same, but should approval be granted, staff recommends adding a condition to limit the
banquet hours.
Alderman Garling thanked staff and the applicant for working together to find common
ground. He asked the applicant if the newly proposed hours fit with the events she intends
to host, and she stated they do. He stated that he would like to see this move forward with
the conditions staff recommends. Alderman Beifuss agreed, and stated that they seem to
have found a solution that will work for everyone.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson asked staff for clarification on the hours. Mr. Dabareiner
replied that staff recommends that the hours be locked in if approval is granted. She
stated that she is concerned about parking overlap with the other tenants’ hours of
operations and that there would not be enough parking for large banquet events. She

stated guests might arrive before 5:00 PM, and this may result in parking conflicts.
Alderman Stout also expressed concern about the possibility of tenants and their hours
changing in the future, which would set the applicant up for failure. It is a very small area
and there is just not enough parking. Alderman Sheahan stated that she looked at the site,
and given that only 7 shared parking spots would be required, she thinks it would be a
good business to have.
Alderman Sheahan moved and Alderman Garling seconded a motion to approve
this Item. Voting Aye: Aldermen Beifuss, Garling, and Sheahan. Voting Nay:
Aldermen Birch-Ferguson and Stout.
G. McAuley School Conveyance — Discussion on whether the City should
acquire the school for eventual resale to the West Chicago Historical Society.
Tom Dabareiner updated staff that a resident approached the Development Committee on
two previous occasions in order to have the ownership of McAuley School conveyed to
the West Chicago Historical Society. The members are asked tonight if they are
interested in having a draft resolution be presented to City Council.
Alderman Beifuss recused himself from the discussion of this Item as he explained he is a
board member of the Historical Society.
Alderman Garling remarked that he is in favor of doing this. He spoke with School
District 33 and they voiced their support in doing so as well. He asked about the next
logistical step, and cautioned about executing without knowing some of the details,
despite not wanting to cause a delay. Alderman Birch-Ferguson stated she would like to
move forward with this as well, but is concerned about any liability the City might have
as the owner of the property. She asked if the status and structure of the building might be
something the City would be responsible for before transferring property. Mr. Dabareiner
stated that typically, property transfers require structures to be brought up to code.
Alderman Stout asked if tabling the approval might be prudent once more information is
obtained. Mr. Dabareiner stated staff would appreciate additional time. Alderman Garling
expressed concern about waiting until October and losing the opportunity to shore up the
property before winter. Alderman Stout responded that she does not foresee much
happening during this season due to bids having to go out, and she would therefore prefer
to wait to have more answers.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson replied she prefers to wait as well, especially as there are still
questions as to who pays for what. She does not want to rush forward and end up with the

City having to foot expenses. Alderman Stout surmised that while they are supportive of
the idea, they want to have all questions answered.
F. Recreational Marijuana Dispensary and Cultivation Center Land Uses —
Discussion on the parameters for allowing land uses known as Recreational
Marijuana Dispensary and Recreational Marijuana Cultivation Center.
Alderman Beifuss rejoined the meeting.
Tom Dabareiner provided the members with this staff update. The Public Affairs
Committee met in August and referred the new recreational marijuana law as it applies to
dispensaries and cultivation centers to the Development Committee. Staff recommends
the following characteristics: 1) Dispensaries as a Permitted Use within the B-2, General
Business District; 2) The City should limit the number of dispensaries to a maximum of
two; 3) Separation requirements from certain sensitive uses should be included, such as
schools, daycare, parks and churches, akin to those for liquor establishments; 4) On-site
consumption shall be prohibited; 5) Recreational Marijuana Cultivation Centers should
be listed as a Special use in the M, Manufacturing District. He furthered that based on the
discussion tonight, staff will draft any required text amendments for consideration by the
Plan Commission at its November meeting.
Alderman Stout read aloud Public Act 101-0027 regarding the State’s cannabis
regulation, and then she explained that the City can prohibit as long as the laws do not
conflict with the State’s. West Chicago is trying to be preemptive in addressing these
issues before the state law goes into effect on January 1, 2020. She outlined the rules for
public comments and then opened the floor for comment.

The meeting was resumed at 9:09 PM and roll call confirmed the same attendance as at
the start of the meeting. Discussion of Agenda Item 5.F. resumed.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson thanked everyone for coming out to provide feedback. What
resonated with her from the comments is that she wished there was more time and
advance notice. She would like to see this issue go to Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) so they can have a public hearing to allow residents to weigh in.

Alderman Birch-Ferguson moved to send this Item to Plan Commission for a public
hearing and Alderman Sheahan seconded the motion.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson then amended the motion and motioned to send this Item
to PC/ZBA with the recommendations from Staff and Alderman Sheahan seconded
the motion.
Alderman Beifuss strongly disagreed with idea that this Item is ready to go to PC/ZBA as
information needs to be gathered. They just received recommendations from staff, who
also did not have much time to prepare. He went on to say that he is proud of his
community. It has been an impressive showing of the hearts and minds of West Chicago.
Many who spoke are life-long residents who love West Chicago deeply. He is also
surprised by the turnout as there was almost no advance notice. This issue should have
been a marquee issue the way that it has been in other communities. He stated that it is
premature for this Item to be forwarded to PC/ZBA, and asked that the motion be
rescinded so that residents can be heard from. He outlined the following points:
1) He believes the best option for West Chicago would be to opt out, and he personally
disagrees with legalizing dispensaries in West Chicago. They still need to gather
information and are waiting on rules from the State, which may not be ready until the
end of the year. This makes it hard to define the City’s rules without being able to do
their due diligence. Also, many towns around are opting out, and he listed some of the
communities that have already elected to do so.
2) Staff has not had a lot of time to prepare. He wished they could have had maps prior
to the meeting. He does not see the need to rush this, and there is ample time to move
this forward and still meet the 60-day requirements.
3) Dispensaries are not a good fit for the City nor its image. Even the governor
understands that each town has its own personality and as such has the ability to enact
its own laws. West Chicago has something special they want to preserve. The
Strategic Plan provides for community identity, or the branding of the town, and this
is not the type of thing they had in mind. The State will collect the lion’s share of the
revenue and intends to offshore the liability to the municipalities. West Chicago
would have not only administrative and enforcement costs, but personal costs that
will come with usage being more prevalent, such as increased crime, increased traffic
accidents, problems in the schools, etc.
Alderman Beifuss underscored that the best option is to opt out for now as they could
always opt in in the future. He gave a similar example of video gaming. He stressed that
this is not an emergency, and they can take their time, learning from what happens in
other communities. He is concerned with staff's recommendations as he needs to have

more information before he feels comfortable sending this to PC/ZBA—especially in
light of the fact that the discussion was not adequately publicized.
He also commented on staff's recommendations, and stated that B-2 represents most of
the commercial districts in town. He also stated he wants to discuss grow centers, and he
disseminated copies of two published articles among the members. He recently learned in
an article in the New York Times that grow centers emit a strong odor likened to skunk
smell. This is a big problem in California and grow centers in West Chicago are a
nonstarter for him.
Alderman Beifuss continued that he has been reading about traffic accidents related to
marijuana use. AAA estimates that 14 to 15 million people drive within one hour after
having smoked marijuana. Insurance Journal noted a statistically significant increase in
the number of traffic accidents in the four states that were first to legalize marijuana.
There is so much information that the members need to make decisions about zoning, and
he asked that the motion be rescinded so they can continue the discussion at the
Development Committee’s October meeting. This would not delay the City having a
decision by the first of the year.
Tom Dabareiner indicated that this would place a burden on staff as they would have to
prepare and submit an ordinance for publishing in a three-day time period in order to
meet the November meeting of the PC/ZBA. Alderman Beifuss said he appreciates the
potential burden but stated it is more important that the Committee members be able to
make their decisions. Mr. Dabareiner stated that additional time is needed for newspaper
publishing of notices and advance notice to the public of the November Plan Commission
meeting. Alderman Beifuss then summarized some of the key pieces of information that
are needed before moving to the PC/ZBA, and he emphasized his preference for
continuing their discussion to October.
Alderman Garling echoed the comments made by Aldermen Birch-Ferguson and Beifuss
about his appreciation for the people who took the time to voice their thoughts. He stated
he already made his personal thoughts known at the Public Affairs meeting, but he does
not see this as a fit with the Strategic Plan. He would prefer to see the City opt out. He
has a number of concerns about staff's recommendations, but in particular with regards to
proximity. The State law itself puts a 1000-foot buffer for advertising between schools,
parks, and other areas. He would like to hear from his fellow Aldermen about why it
would be okay to allow for a facility within that same buffer. Proximity is a significant
concern for him, and for this reason, he does not want to proceed with staffs
recommendation.
Development Committee Minutes

[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
Alderman Garling also shared that he has received 45 emails—with 3 in favor, 1 urging
to go slow, and over 40 that say no. Tonight they have heard from schools—both public
and private, social service organizations, three Aldermen, and many other community
members. He does not want it zoned as suggested by staff. He would like to be much
stricter with regards to proximity and zoning. The State allows us to regulate the number
of dispensaries and cultivation centers, the hours of operation (he does not see where staff
addressed this aspect), and the nature of the businesses. He then asked his fellow
aldermen why a dispensary would be located within 1000 feet of school, park, etc.
Tom Dabareiner confirmed that the State’s buffer for advertising is 1000 feet. Alderman
Stout asked for clarification on allowable distances and proximity. Mr. Dabareiner
replied that the State was silent on separation distance from sensitive uses, but they did
allow local government to decide. Staff looked at liquor stores as an example, where it
can be as little as 100 feet door to door. To be somewhat similar and make it easier to
measure property to property, Staff considered 250 feet. However, 500 or 1000 feet can
also be considered as it depends on the personality of the community. A 1000-foot buffer
would limit the possibilities and would almost have the same effect as limiting the use.
This is something they are not allowed to do. Alderman Garling pointed out that they can
opt out entirely. Mr. Dabareiner clarified that if you are setting regulations then you
cannot set a distance that is too extreme. He agreed that you can opt out, but if you are
asked to define regulations, it is possible to create regulations that are too strict and have
the effect of eliminating a use, which may be challenged legally.
Alderman Stout asked Alderman Garling to pose his previous question to the members
again. Alderman Garling asked why his fellow Committee members feel it would be okay
to locate a dispensary within 1000 feet of sensitive use areas if the State does not allow
for advertising within that same distance. Alderman Birch-Ferguson stated that the B-2 is
far enough away with the distance recommended by staff. Alderman Garling countered
that a daycare is going in at Hawthorne and Route 59. Why would only 250 feet from
there to the shopping center be okay rather than 1000 feet? Alderman Birch-Ferguson
replied she would need to look at the map. In her initial review, the Roosevelt Road
corridor of B-2 seemed like a good place. Alderman Sheahan stated she did not know
about the 1000-foot buffer for advertising and was going off of what staff had
recommended. She would have to look into this.
Alderman Beifuss stated he does not feel dispensaries belong in the B-2 at all. He
recalled the zoning issues for medical marijuana dispensaries from a few years ago. They
ended up putting it in Manufacturing (M). He would recommend recreational marijuana
dispensaries be zoned M as well. He stated they will need to flesh out staff's
recommendation that sampling not be allowed at any of the dispensaries. There is clearly
a driving-under-the-influence problem, and so as to not exacerbate the problem, there

[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
should not be any sampling at any dispensary. Finally, he stated there needs to be at least
1000-foot buffer from sensitive areas. The community has expressed problems with
proximity, and studies agree with this. Alderman Stout stated she was not sure if she
agrees with as little as 250 feet, but she is not sure 1000 feet is right either. Advertising is
not what they need to address tonight. Instead, they need to look at zoning for the
locations. Staff has provided us with information about the different radiuses of 250 and
500 feet. 1000 feet seems excessive, and she is concerned about the legal risk of
mandating rules so strict. Alderman Garling stated it seems many members have
concerns about the 250 feet.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson indicated that the word is out, and this is why she wanted to
send this to the PC/ZBA sooner rather than later. They can advertise that meeting date
and people can plan to attend while it is still a hot topic in the community. She stated she
respects what the Plan Commission does, and after they meet they will submit their
recommendation which the Development Committee members will discuss at their next
meeting. They may end up choosing to recommend 1000 feet.
Alderman Beifuss expressed concern about sending the matter to PC/ZBA before the City
has a chance to get the word out. It is a hot topic, and they need to get this information
out to the community. They need to give the instruction tonight to staff to put something
on the City’s website about where the issue is at so far. He wished they had done so. It is
also a positive thing to ask for people’s opinions even if it is a difficult topic. He wished
he could have seen the map included with the Item Summaries to view it prior to
tonight’s meeting. This shows how staff did not have enough time to prepare.
Tom Dabareiner displayed maps showing the potential buffers of 1000, 500 and 250 feet
within the B-1, B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. He indicated that, while the maps were
prepared for a different project, they are useful in understanding potential buffers. He
noted that taking into consideration the strictest distances would result in just a handful of
properties in the B-2 where dispensaries could be located.
Alderman Stout pointed out that moving this moving this Item on to the PC/ZBA does
not mean that dispensaries will be allowed. What they are saying is that public input is
needed at a second meeting, which will be advertised and for which more information
will be gathered. The ultimate decision for approval is still several meetings away. At this
point, they are trying to provide some guidelines for the Plan Commission for them to
discuss.
Alderman Beifuss expressed concern at sending something to the Plan Commission
before there is consensus from the Development Committee that there is some level of
acceptability. They are not at that point yet. He would really like to have another meeting

[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
of the Development Committee to discuss. He recognized the burden on staff for the
short turnaround time it would impose, but he feels another meeting is needed. He asked
if St. Charles has medical dispensaries, and Mr. Dabareiner said they do. Alderman
Beifuss asked if those are located in the Manufacturing District, but Mr. Dabareiner was
unsure. Alderman Beifuss reiterated the idea of locating recreational dispensaries in
Manufacturing, providing for a minimum of a 1000-foot buffer from sensitive areas, and
not allowing for grow centers. He also questioned the number of dispensaries allowed.
He reminded that the City can always opt out for now. They can wait two or three years
to see what happens in other communities first, and then bring it back.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson stated that after seeing the maps provided by staff, she would
like to amend her earlier motion.
Alderman Birch-Ferguson motioned to send this Item to PC/ZBA with staff’s
recommendations except for increasing the buffer to 500 feet and Alderman
Sheahan seconded the motion.
Alderman Stout stated they have discussed the pros and cons as much as possible tonight.
There is a motion on the floor they will need to vote on. She reiterated that moving the
discussion along is not saying yes, that it is only a starting point.
Alderman Garling disagreed with sending this recommendation to the Plan Commission.
Instead, he asked the members to consider zoning recreational marijuana dispensaries as
they already have with medical marijuana dispensaries by allowing them in the M
District. He added they should also add time restrictions the way they do for liquor sales.
He asked why they cannot send forth both ideas to PC/ZBA. Discussion ensued with
Aldermen Stout and Garling and Mr. Dabareiner about excessive regulation which might
be conveyed as legally too restrictive and the possibilities for opting out. Alderman Stout
cautioned that they cannot dictate to the point where the outcome is the same as banning.
Per the State, they need to enact reasonable zoning regulations. She suggested they move
to vote.
Alderman Beifuss commented on setbacks, which range from 250 to 1000 feet. 1000 feet
seems more reasonable. He likes some of the ideas that Alderman Garling had suggested.
He cautioned there are many downsides to this. The State will keep most of the money
and what they get back they will need to use to cover expenses. They will end up
subsidizing it. He stated that liquor sales are not analogous to those of recreational
marijuana because the federal government delegates liquor regulation to the states, but it
does not do so for marijuana. Sales of marijuana are still considered a felony. He
reiterated his ideas to have another Development Committee meeting before sending it on
and to consider Manufacturing as the zoning. The Aldermen do not speak at Plan

Commission meetings. He stressed he does not see the rush to move this forward. It is a
good idea to let the community absorb this and to give them more time. A discussion
ensued with Aldermen Beifuss and Stout and Mr. Dabareiner about the timing of future
meetings with City Council and the time staff needs to prepare. Alderman Stout called for
the vote.
Voting Aye: Aldermen Birch-Ferguson, Sheahan and Stout. Voting Nay: Aldermen
Beifuss and Garling.
Alderman Stout recapped that by moving this Item forward to the Plan Commission, they
are not saying yes. What they are saying is that they want more information and they
want more input.
Unfinished Business. None.
New Business.
Alderman Beifuss recommended that City staff put a marquee post on the website and on
Facebook and Twitter to get the word out about recreational marijuana dispensaries in
West Chicago. Word of mouth is unacceptable. We need to do a better job of
communicating big issues to the public. Mr. Dabareiner promised to talk with the
Communications Director. Alderman Garling agreed.
Reports from Staff. None.
Adjournment.
Alderman Sheahan moved and Alderman Birch-Ferguson seconded the motion to
adjourn the Development Committee meeting at 10:23 P.M. The Committee
members unanimously agreed and the motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE:
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: A.
Four Variances from the Zoning Ordinance for the
Property at 110 E. Roosevelt Road FILE NUMBER:
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Oct. 14 2019
Ordinance #: 19-O-0031 COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE WA Cm
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Dunkin’ is located on a 0.6 acre lot at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Joliet Street. The
property is improved with an 1,800 square foot drive-through/sit-down restaurant and 16 parking
spaces. Originally constructed in 2007, Dunkin’ received a Special Use Permit in 2010 to landbank
two of its original 18 parking stalls, which allowed them to reconfigure the drive aisles for more effi-
cient access through the site. The work involved modifying the Joliet Street entrances, reducing the
size of the trash enclosure, adding directional signage and modifying the parking along Joliet to an-
gled spaces.
The timing of the proposed improvements is associated with the business becoming both a Dunkin’
and Baskin Robbins operation. The petitioner is proposing to widen the drive-through and escape
aisles, as the existing configuration fails to allow two cars to safely drive around the building at the
same time. If improved, both the drive-through and escape lanes would be no less than 11.5 feet and
11 feet, respectively, at their narrowest. The improvements would necessitate expanding the curb
lines and reducing the size of the existing trash enclosure. Moving the curb line would mean a reduc-
tion of the landscape setback area from ten feet to 5 feet on the property’s south side. It would also
mean changes to the east side, reducing the landscape setback area from ten feet to 7 feet. These
two changes require variances.
There are also two variances associated with the stacking of vehicles in queue. The first would allow
four vehicles to stack in lieu of the required minimum of five. The second variance would allow that
stacking to occur where it already does, in the actual corner side yard along Joliet Street.
The petitioner analyzed the proposed turning movements and finds them to be adequate with the re-
visions. Also, while the parking stalls will be reconfigured to help with the circulation, there will be no
changes to the number of stalls provided. Finally, the curb relocations will cause the loss of two exist-
ing trees, a 12” American Elm and a 10” Honey Locust. Both will replaced with young versions of the
same species. In addition, a new shade tree will be planted on a proposed landscape island along Jo-
liet Street.
The Plan Commission/ZBA reviewed the proposed variances at its meeting held October 1, 2019 and
members recommended unanimously in favor by a vote of 5-0.

EXHIBIT “B”
RECOMMENDATION NO. 2019-RC-0014
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 19-14
Variances from the Zoning Code for the property at 110 E. Roosevelt Road.
DATE: October 1, 2019
DECISION: With a vote of five (5) “yes” and zero (0) “no”, a motion to recommend approval of the request
was carried by the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals.
RECOMMENDATION:
After holding a public hearing and after review of the requested variances from the Zoning Code for the
property at 110 E. Roosevelt Road, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommends
approval of the request.
The PC/ZBA based this decision on the following findings of fact:
(1) The particular physical surroundings shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved
would result in a particular hardship upon the owner, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience or loss
of revenue, if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out.
The property has been functioning as a drive-thru Dunkin Donuts for several years and has experienced diffi-
culty in adequate circulation throughout the site. This is in large part to the relatively small size of the proper-
ty. The property is also not perfectly rectangular and as a result the building was constructed to not be com-
pletely perpendicular with property lines. This has resulted in narrow drive aisle widths built to accommodate
setbacks.
(2) The condition upon which the requested variation is based would not be applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification.
The small size of the lot creates difficulty in trying to improve an already existing drive-thru without the need
to reduce setbacks. Although other lots in the B-2 district may exist that have similar constraints, this pro-
posed variance is unique in that it is attempting to solve an issue that was created as a result of the develop-
ment of the site by the previous owner.
(3) The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the
property.
The petitioner recently purchased the property from the Dunkin Donuts corporation to continue operating as a
Dunkin Donuts. The petitioner did not design nor construct the site layout or building.
(4) The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or
improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located.
The purpose of the variances is to make vehicular access throughout the site safer and more efficient. This
results in less stress on public streets that could potentially see back-ups from the site. Furthermore, the peti-
tioner is replacing all affected landscaping in the required landscape yard to continue an effective buffer and
Ordinance 19-O-0031

===== PDF PAGE 20 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
screening from neighboring properties.
(5) The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantial-
ly increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety or
substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
The variances being sought will help to alleviate traffic issues on site and allow a more efficient flow of
vehicular traffic around the building. This will prevent cars entering from Joliet Street from needing to stop
momentarily to circulate around the building and also prevent 3-point turnabouts from occurring in order to
enter the drive-thru lane.
(6) The proposed variation complies with the spirit and intent of the restrictions imposed by this Zoning Code.
Although the required landscape yard setbacks will be reduced in size, the landscape yards will still exist and
will contain adequate landscaping to provide the intent of screening and buffering between properties. The
variances related to the drive-thru location and drive-thru stacking will be an improvement from the existing
drive-thru configuration to provide more efficient vehicular access around the building and into the drive-thru.
The Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the variances subject to the site shall
being developed in substantial compliance with the following plans:
1. The Site Plan prepared by Craig R. Knoche & Associates dated July 23, 2019 with a final revision date
of August 22, 2019 consisting of one (1) sheet.
2. The Landscape Plan prepared by Craig R. Knoche & Associates dated July 23, 2019 with a final revision
date of August 22, 2019 consisting of one (1) sheet.

Denial of a Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning) re-
quested for 30W680 Lee Road FILE NUMBER:
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Oct. 14, 2019
Ordinance 19-O-0032
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner AICP SIGNATURE ZA 6- =>
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner is requesting that the City rezone the subject property to M, Manufacturing from ER-
1, Estate Residential. This would allow manufacturing uses on the property, including a recently
opened landscaping business.
The property consists of 5.6 acres located at the northeast corner of Lee Road and Lane Road.
Lane Road is a dead end street and contains eight single-family residential properties. After receiv-
ing a complaint about a business operating from a residential property, the City notified the petition-
er of a violation of the Zoning Ordinance for operating the landscaping business in the ER-1 Estate
Residential district, which is not allowed. The petitioner's request to rezone to M, Manufacturing fol-
lowed.
It should be kept in mind that a rezoning to M, Manufacturing opens the door for any Permitted and
Special Uses listed in the Manufacturing District to operate on the subject property. The current and
other manufacturing-related uses are unlikely to be compatible with the nearby residential uses and,
in fact, may impose negative impacts on the residential. Should a rezoning be allowed, the petition-
er would still need to apply for a Special Use to allow outdoor storage on the property. The attached
Map Amendment Ordinance is written to deny the request, based on the outcome of the Plan
Commission/ZBA vote and Staff's recommendation.
At the Plan Commission/ZBA hearing held October 1, 2019, numerous residents spoke against al-
lowing the use and none spoke in support. Plan Commission/ZBA members reviewed the Findings
of Fact and voted unanimously against the rezoning, with the motion in favor failing 0-5.

Recommendation to approve Ordinance 19-O-0032 to deny the requested Map Amendment.

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2019-RC-0013
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 19-20
Zoning Map Amendment to rezone 30W680 Lee Road from ER-1 Estate Residence to M Manu-
facturing.
DATE: October 1, 2019
DECISION: With a vote of zero (0) “yes” and five (5) “no”, a motion to recommend approval of the request
was denied by the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals.
RECOMMENDATION:
After holding a public hearing and after review of the requested amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone
30W680 Lee Road from ER-1 Estate Residence to M Manufacturing, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) does not recommend approval of the request.
The PC/ZBA based this decision on the following findings of fact:
I. The existing uses and zoning of the property in question.
The property is currently zoned ER-1 Estate Residence and is being used as a landscape business with out-
door storage. This use is a violation of the Zoning Code in the ER-1 Estate Residence district.
2. The existing uses and zoning of other lots in the vicinity.
The subject property is located on the north end of Lane Road. Lane Road contains eight (8) single-family
residences, currently zoned ER-1 Estate Residence. While other properties in the general area are zoned M
Manufacturing, these properties are located further west on Pilsen Road and not immediately adjacent to
existing single-family residential uses.
3. Suitability of the property in question for uses already permitted under the existing regulations.
The property would comply with all regulations for the ER-1 Estate Residence district. The property previ-
ously was used as a single-family residential use.
4. Suitability of the property in question for the proposed use.
The property meets the lot size and width requirements for the M Manufacturing district. The property
contains natural features such as a heavily wooded area and wetlands which would have to be considered for
future development of the property to avoid any harmful impacts.
5. The trend of development in the vicinity of the property in question, including any recent zoning activity.
The trend of development along Lane Road just south of the subject property has remained single-family
residential. The properties to the north and west of the subject property have begun to transition to more
industrial type uses and two properties have been rezoned from ER-1 Estate Residence to M Manufacturing.
These lots, however, are accessed off of Pilsen Road and are not in the immediate vicinity of the adjacent
residential neighborhood south of the subject lot.
Ordinance 19-0-0032
Page 4 of 5

===== PDF PAGE 30 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
6. The effect the proposed rezoning would have on implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City’s current Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2006, designates the subject property as
industrial. The majority of the lots in the surrounding area, however, have remained zoned ER-1 Estate
Residence and maintained a single-family use.
7. Impact on surrounding properties.
The proposed rezoning would intensify the impact on the residential properties south of the subject lot. The
M Manufacturing district would not be compatible with the single-family residential neighborhood to the
south. The ER-1 district is the most restrictive zoning district in the City and the M district is the least restric-
tive.
8. Impact on health, safety, or welfare of the community.
The proposed rezoning would have an adverse impact on the health, safety, and welfare of the community
because the proposed zoning designation of M Manufacturing, and its permitted uses, would not be compati-
ble with the single-family residential uses to the south. Industrial uses this close to a residential neighborhood
would introduce impacts that will affect traffic, noise, odor, and other implications resulting from an indus-
trial use.

COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Oct. 14, 2019
Resolution No. 19-R-0052
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE:
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE Zee
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Project Pilot is a code name for a proposed build-to-suit project by Seefried Industrial Properties for a
Fortune 500 company. The project is proposed to be on 39.2 acres in the DuPage Business Center
across Discovery Drive from Suncast, with the address of 808 Discovery Drive. The property is zoned
A, Airport. The proposed 145,000 square foot building will house a last-mile distribution facility, which
is allowed in that zoning district.
No variances are being requested. A deviation is being sought for the amount of parking in a front yard
because of the parking demand and the fact that nearly the entire property is adjacent to roadway. As
a last-mile distribution center there is significant parking for cars and delivery vehicles, about 1,170
stalls. To help segregate on-site circulation—keeping office-related activities from distribution activi-
ties—separate parking areas and four curb cuts are proposed on Discovery Drive.
The petitioner has taken into account the building’s attractiveness, as well. The building will meet the
window glazing requirement and includes smooth precast wall panels with accents. The wall panels
and roof deck will be heavy insulated for energy savings. The building will have aluminum clad cano-
pies on two sides for sheltering delivery vans while they are loaded. A building rendering is also at-
tached for your reference.
The attached draft Resolution references specific site plans, landscape plans and building elevations
for the proposed development.
The terms of the IGA require the City Council to approve the final development if it is in conformance
with all of the controlling documents (the City’s Airport Zoning District regulations and the DAA’s Mini-
mum Design Standards). The DAA has already approved it subject to City action. City staff acknowl-
edges that the proposed development plans comply.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the final development plan for Project Pilot at 808 Discovery Drive.
