Planner Waldock reported on the County Case of Robert and
Geraldine Zeh. 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

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. Seconded by J. Dement.

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
