APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
A Special Use was approved in May of 2018 under Ordinance 18-O-0026 for The Crusher, Inc. for a
Salvage and Recycling Facility with Ancillary Outside Storage. Several improvements to the site were
proposed to bring the property into compliance with the City’s zoning regulations. To achieve these
improvements, a phasing plan was approved as part of the Special Use approval. The site would be
developed in two phases with the second phase to be completed by December 31, 2022. Neither
phase began and the stormwater permit authorization from Dupage County for the floodplain com-
pensatory storage installation expired at the end of 2022. The property, therefore, is out of compliance
with the Special Use Permit, which could be revoked.
The petitioner has indicated they are prepared to begin the improvements to the site this year with
Phase | to be completed by December 31, 2024 and Phase II to be completed by December 31,
2026. A request to renew the DuPage County stormwater permit authorization was submitted this past
December to DuPage County. The renewed authorization will expire at the end of 2026. The petition-
er is not proposing any changes to the approved development plans. The only change to the phasing
plan is the date of completion for each of the two phases.
To ensure that work begins in a timely manner and is completed with no delays, staff recommends a
condition be placed that the petitioner be required to begin construction of the improvements to the
site no later than May 1, 2023 and shall work diligently until completion. Additionally, staff recom-
mends a condition that the petitioner be required to submit a status report to the Community Devel-
opment Department no later than November 30" of each calendar year. This report shall indicate the
progress of the work including work that has been completed and work that must still be performed.
Failure to do so shall result in a Notice of Violation and may result in revocation of the Special Use
Permit.
The Plan Commissioners voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the amendment to the
Special Use Permit.
