Motion carried. Brent Coulter, representative from Cemcon, Ltd., Consulting Engineers, spoke in reference to the proposed U.S. Route 30 project, downtown parking. He stated he would suggest Alternate 3 (Diagonal Parking on One Side): Retain diagonal parking on south side of Lockport, but add auxiliary parking maneuver lane. Replace diagonal parking with parallel on the north side: Net loss of spaces (versus existing) = 9 to 11; Must be reviewed by I.D.O.T. (Central Office in Springfield); no guarantee that they will accept this design; May require reduction of sidewalk width on south side of Lockport, pending I.D.O.T. review; Village cost of $8,500 for resurfacing only for the DesPlaines to Illinois block. An additional $5,500 would be required to widen the pavement (far a total of $14,000); Improvement over existing operating conditions by eliminating one row of diagonal parking, and providing an auxiliary backing area for the remaining raw. This should reduce "nuisance" type dents and fender-benders between parked vehicles as well as minimizing conflicts between parked and moving (thru-lane) vehicles; Eliminates the left-turn lanes on Lockport at local public streets that were included in the I.D.O.T. plans. Also he would suggest the following points for the Village Resolution: 1) The Board would prefer to leave PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OCTOBER 3, 1988 PAGE Two the existing diagonal parking on both sides of Lockport Street. However, in recognition of I.D.O.T. design standards, and in the interest of seeing the entire improvement package for Lockport Street completed in a timely manner, the Board would agree to parallel parking on the north side and diagonal parking on the south side; 2) T.D.O.T. should revise their plans in substantial conformance with this concept (a final schematic of the Village proposal will be ready far Monday night); 3) There should be no widening of the existing pavement section in the DesPlaines to Illinois block. Reduction of already narrow sidewalk width is not consistent with the Village's Downtown Revitalization Plan, and would adversely affect local businesses; 4) Corner treatment for shadowing of parking should not be striped, but instead be designed with curb and gutter end islands consistent with the recommendations of 'the adapted Downtown Plan (see attached sketch); 5) The Village agrees in concept to participate in the resurfacing of Lockport Street, proportionately to the parking lane(s) width on that street. The Village's share of funding for minor widening between Illinois Street, and Illinois 59 and between Fax River Street and DesPlaines, would come from FAUS monies programmed by the Joliet Urbanized Area Council. The Village will assume responsibility far any streetscape related items associated with corner island treatment. The cost of curb and gutter, and PCC sidewalk, however, will be the responsibility of I.D.O.T.. After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to table until the Parking Committee gives their recommendation. It was the consensus of the Board to direct staff to contact T.P.A.P. and table this proposal until the next meeting (10/17/$8) or the first meeting, in November (11/7/88). Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 191-82088V, Jeffrey Deeke, DVM, Animal Care Center of Plainfield; Request - Variance of 5 feet from the 15 feet required sideyard setback in B-4 zoning district; Location - Along. the east side of Route 59 south of Plainfield Stamping (1351 Division Street); Proposed - It is a 4,000 square foot animal care center on a site of about 6 acres. The bulk of the site area is within the flood plain of the DuPage River. Topography of the site slopes toward the southeast. The structure and parking area are. proposed for the northwest corner of the lot where ground elevations are highest. Same filling (and therefore compensatory excavation) will be necessary within the flood plain to complete the project as planned; Findings - topography slopes rapidly from the high ground in the northwest corner of the site; a hardship related to topography and the large flood plain area exists at the site; the request would not harm surrounding property if granted; the proposal provides a benefit by limiting the required amount of fill in the flood plain area. r~ • PLAYNFIELD VILLAGE BOARD ,OF TRUSTEES OCTOBER 3, 1988 PAGE THREE McLaughlin Manufacturing (owner of 1351 Division) objected to the variance.
