Home My Public Portal AboutResolution 1215RESOLUTION NO. x,,,215 A RESOLUTION BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF PLAINFIELD OB7ECTING TO THE REZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL A-1 TO WILL COUNTY I-1, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, AND VARIANCES FOR SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES. WHEREAS, the Village has been noticed for a rezoning special use permit, and variance request for a property containing approximately 5.6 acres located on Route 30 south of 127th Street, Wheatland Township, within 1 1/2 miles of the corporate limits of the Village of Plainfield, and WHEREAS, the Village of Plainfield President and Board of Trustees have reviewed the proposed rezoning from Agricultural A-1 to I-l, the special use permit, and variances, and WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees reviewed said request and have reviewed the reports of its Planning Staff; and WHEREAS, it is Staffs opinion that the subject request clearly is indicative of spot zoning, wherein the subject property and surrounding property is designated Suburban Residential on the Village Comprehensive Plan, with gross residential densities ranging from 2.06 to 2.50 units per acre. The industrial rezone request is clearly not in character, compatible, or consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent property currently being developed with single family homes; and WHEREAS, Staffs position in regards to the special use and variance request is that it will alter the character of the neighborhood; is a substantial detriment to adjacent property; is not in harmony with neighboring properties; and would grant a special privilege not elsewhere granted in the Village. Staff is also of the opinion that if such a petition was approved, it would perpetuate similar request and exacerbate incompatible zoning, land use compatibility and life safety issues; and WHEREAS, Staff also encourages the County to provide progressive measures of enforcement in order to remove those existing illegal sign and billboard structures from the subject site. The County stopped work on these signs sometime ago yet they remain. These illegal structures blemish the rural character and aesthetics of the right-of--way corridor. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Plainfield that it hereby objects to the proposed rezoning and hereby files its written objection to same with the Will County Clerk and the Village Clerk is hereby directed to serve a copy of said written protest upon the applicants attorney and the applicant by certified mail at the address shown in the application for the proposed amendment all pursuant to Chapter 55 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (1996).

Gentleman, Enclosed please find proposed zoning application to be filed with the Wi11 County Zoning Department, requesting a I-1 classification with special use far self storage facilities and variation in rear set back from 10' to 0' on Route 30 along the E J & E Railroad. The property is currently unimproved, is located in Will County and currently zoned A-1. Please forward to me a letter indicating your comments, if any, in regards to this request.

Darnell Jeffrey Dement Kathy O'Connell Steven L. Rathbun Raymond Smolich Kurt Stalxer Susan Janik VILLAGE CLERK This correspondence is in response to a letter the Village of Plainfield received from M. Thomas Phelan of Phelan, Nolan & Associates, P.C. requesting a zoning change Pram Will County A-1 to Will County I-1 with special use for self storage facilities and a variation from the rear yard set back from 10 feet to 0 feet on Route 30 along the E.J. & E. Railroad (see enclosed). Please verify if Mr. Phelan has submitted such a request for your review and consideration. This correspondence also serves as Staffs position which overwhelmingly opposes the subject request. Furthet~xtore, Staff intends an forwarding this request to the Village Plan Commission and Board of Trustees to gain additional momentum opposing the request, if and when the application is filed formally. It is Staffs opinion that the subject request clearly is indicative of spot zoning, wherein the subject property and surrounding property is designated Suburban Residential on the Village Comprehensive Plan, with gross residential densities ranging from 2.06 to 2.50 units per acre. The industrial rezone request is clearly not in character, compatible, or consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent property currently being developed with single family homes. Staffs position in regards to the special use and variance request is that it will alter the character of the neighborhood; is a substantial detriment to adjacent property; is not in harmony with neighboring properties; and would grant a special privilege not elsewhere granted in the Village. Staff is also of the opinion that if such a petition was approved, it would perpetuate similar request and exacerbate incompatible zoning, land use compatibility and life safety issues. Staff also encourages the County to provide progressive measures of enforcement in order to remove those . existing illegal sign and billboard structures from the subject site. The County stopped work on these signs sometime ago yet they remain. These illegal structures blemish the rural character and aesthetics of the right-of- way corridor. If the Village can be of any assistance with regards to this issue, do not hesitate to ask. 1 trust this letter clarifies Staffs overwhelming opposition to Mr. Phelan's request and the Village's commitment to maintain residential development within this area.
