Request - Rezoning from A-1 to E-2 with Special Use Permit for business office and continued indoor storage of farm equipment on 2.755 acres; Location - Along the south side of Renwick Road west of Route 59, east of River Road at 1018 west Renwick Road; Applicant - Robert and Geraldine Zeh. The Plan Commission in examing the subject site, the pxoperty must be viewed in its context with surrounding Renwick Park Estates Subdivision. It is felt that the E-2 zoning is out of character with the less restrictive R-2A designation. Further, a business use in close proximity of the newly platted small lot subdivision is also seen as out of character. For these reasons, the request FLAINFTELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OCTOBER 17, 1988 PAGE TWO does not satisfy sound land use planning. Staff cannot support the request as presented. Findings: 1) The area is within the 1.5 mile jurisdiction of the Village; 2) Proposed rezoning and special use permit is not in accordance with current and proposed Comprehensive Plans of the Village of Plainfield; 3) The proposed rezoning does not follow established planning principles; 4) The proposal is out of character with surrounding zoning designations. By a vote of 7-0, the Plan Commission recommends that objection be made to the rezoning and special use permit requested at 1018 West Renwick Road based on the findings listed above. Mr. Zeh's attorney, Richard Kavanagh, spoke stating the E-2 zoning and special use would go with the property, but if a special use discontinues to be used for that purpose after a one (1) year period, the special use can revert. Mayor Latta stated the people buying lots and building homes in the area do not seem to be objecting to this business being there, but I would rather see it stay a non-conforming A-1 so he could continue his business until he leaves this property rather than change the zoning to open the door to any business that moves in. Attorney Harvey stated we can recommend,ta the County that in this special use, it shall be a non-retail business. Attorney Kavanagh was in full • agreement with this suggestion. L. Kelly moved that the Village of Plainfield. not object to the E-2 rezoning with a special use permit for a non-retail business office of owner and continued indoor storage of sprinkling and farm equipment used in the occupation.

Planner Waldock reported on the Plan Commission's recommendation for Preliminary Plat for River Ridge Estates Case No. 190-81088PP. Location - Approximately 250 feet south of 135th Street along the west side of Naperville Road; Applicants - Charles Sharp and Larry Capista. Proposal - The applicants propose to subdivide a 74-acre tract into 55 single-family residential parcels with improvements to include standard Village streets and water mains. Individual septic systems are proposed an each lot. Minimum proposed lot size for this subdivision is 24,000 square feet. Long narrow lots are proposed along the DuPage River. Typical size for a lot with River frontage is nearly 53,000 square feet (1.2 acres). Discussion - The site was annexed into the Village in October of 1979. The Village had previously approved a Preliminary Plat for River Ridge Estates in March, 1978. The early plat included 129 lots using Village water and sanitary sewer systems. The average lot size was over 12,000 square feet .for the 1978 plat. The current subdivision proposal meets ordinance standards far lot area, street width and setbacks. Each lot has sufficient area above flood level far development of dwellings. However, as per the letter from the Village Engineer, septic systems are prohibited under Section 3-13-1 which requires sanitary sewer systems. Issues - The primary issue of this Preliminary Plat request is the use of individual septic systems versus Village sanitary sewer. Subdivision regulation requirements for the use of a sanitary sewer would need to be waived to accomplish this development. In considering this matter, staff examined the previous plat approval, the location of the nearest sanitary sewer main, and the prospect for other development in the area creating a need for the extension of sewer systems through or near to the site. Findings - 1) The previous preliminary plat proposed for the site suggests that extension of the sanitary sewer is economically feasible although the number of lots would likely need to be increased to cover the extra costs of sanitary sewers; 2) Development of the property to the north of the River site appears imminent and would require sanitary sewer extension through the area; 3) It is in the best interest of the Village to promote the extension of sanitary sewer to serve areas northeast of the Village; 4) Although the Village is currently nearing design capacity at its wastewater treatment plant, recent system repairs have improved system capacity. Recommendation - By a vote of 7-0, the Plan Commission recommends that the Preliminary Plat of River Ridge Estates be denied. Mr. Charles Sharp spoke in reference to the cost for the extension J PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OCTOBER 17, 198$ PAGE FOUR of the water and sewer to his project. Administrator Pusinelli stated he has spoke to Gerald Clark in reference to his development which is a key element in this matter.
