Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 274-6159OPP. Applicant - Rogina and Associates, Agent and Henry Sehring, Development. Location - Southside of Renwick Road west sa.de of McClellan. Request - Preliminary Plat fox Sandhurst Subdivision. The subject site is vacant land fronting an three (3) roads: Renwick, McClellan and Route 30. No substantial vegetation is present. The property was annexed in April of 19$9 as part of the Route 30 annexation area. At that time, B-4 and B-3 zoning designations were established far the site. The applicants propose the construction of a seventeen (17) lot commercial subdivision. The plat includes one (1) street, a cul-de-sac named "Waterfront Circle". The right-of-way width is planned at . eighty ($0) feet and the length if over 600 feet. Each lot is planned to have a.ts own stormwater area. No storm sewers are provided for the street. Street lights, street signs, property monuments and trees are to be provided in conformance with Village requirements. Sidewalks, curb and gutter and bituminous pavement are shown on plans. A pavement width of 44 feet (back to back) is provided. The subdivision is not proposing any improvements to McClellan Avenue. No access is proposed to McClellan nor will it be allowed. A five (5) foot no access easement is provided as a control. Access to Renwick Road has been approved by Wi11 County for a shared driveway between Lots 9 and 10. Access to Route 30 will be limited to two (2) curb cuts. A sixty (60) foot cross access easement is provided parallel to Route 30 to accommodate Lots 12, 13, 14 and 15. Lot 5 is intended only for transfer to the Rod Baker property south of the subject site. Right-turn deceleration lanes should be considered for each access point on Route 30 and Renwick Road. Street widths are acceptable as proposed. The zoning boundary divides Lots 9 and 10 with partial B-4 and B-3 zoning in each. This can be corrected, if necessary, at a future date. Storm sewer systems are required by the subdivision ordinance as are central storm detention systems for the subdivision. Although storm detention is proposed for each individual lot, this will not meet subdivision ordinance requirements. C7 PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUGUST 20, 1990 PAGE THREE L.

Applicant - John F. Andermann. Location - 12415 South 248th Avenue, approximately 1/4 mile north of 127th Street. Request - County rezoning from A-1 to E-2 Single-Family, Estate District. Applicants wish to rezone a 2.727 acre site from A-1 to E-2 Estate District for construction of a new home site. The parcel is now part of a farm field and is used agriculturally. The applicants who reside an the farm wish to create a separate home site for their son's residence. The lot dimensions appear to meet County ordinance requirements. The subject site, of this request, is across 248th Street from the Anthony Cerra property which was reviewed several months ago. However, this case would result in a second homesite on a farm that presently has only one. The Village Board has expressed concerns aver the proliferation of septic and well developments within a mile and half of our boundaries. This case, of course, would allow this type of development. Extension of sewer and water to this site is cast prohibitive to serve one (1) house. Historically, homesites for off spring have been accommodated by County approvals. The Flan Commission discussed the concern of this County development proposal to become a block to Village growth. For this reason, an annexation agreement was proposed which would provide for annexation at the time they become contiguous to the Village limits. The annexation agreement has been submitted with this report. L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission and no abjection be made to Andermann County Case subject to the stipulation that the land owners enter into a pre-annexation agreement (which would include the easements for the entire acreage, not just the 2.727 acre site).

Motion carried. r 1 L .J PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUGUST 20, 1990 PAGE FOUR Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a request of Ron and Barb Latimer, owners of 1722 Willow Drive East. They are requesting a variance to allow a sun room addition within fifteen (15) feet of their swimming pool. The Village Building Code Section 5-20-4 requires a minimum separation of fifteen (15) feet between pool and any structures on site. The Latimers installed their pool (in 1987) prior to the current ordinance, and had intended to construct the sun room as Phase 3 of the pool project. The sun room is placed so as to replace a patio and extend existing building lines. The sun room addition would be six (6) feet from the pool's edge. The Latimers letter of August $, 1990 formally requests that a variation be granted to Section 5-20-4 of the Village Building Code to allow a building addition within fifteen (15) feet of the pool. The staff finds no objection to this request. L. Ke11y moved to approve the variance to allow a sun room addition (at 1722 Willow Drive East) within fifteen (15) feet of their swimming pool. Seconded by D. Lewin. Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a memo from John Black, • Building Official, to the Board of Trustees regarding the Animal Care Center at 1347 North Division Street. Planner Waldock stated this case is a result of a difference of opinion between the former Building Inspector (Roger Wojtecki) and our present Inspector, Mr. Black. The Animal Care Center was started and nearly completed prior to the employment of our present Building Inspector. Mr. Wojtecki interpreted the code to indicate that fire treated wood studs would be adequate in the exterior walls. Mr. Black disagrees and after a review of the code, a variance is necessary to release the Certificate of Occupancy. L. Kelly moved to approve the variance for Animal Care Center, 1347 North Division Street with the following stipulations: 1) roof rafters and any exposed wall studs be covered with 5/$" fire code drywall; and 2) as built drawings to be provided. to the Village's Building Department.

The Plainfield Public Library District proposes to construct a 27,160 square foot library facility in the 700 block of Illinois Street. The site is occupied by the present library and two (2) houses. The Village's 71 stall parking lot is located north of the library property. Additional on-street parking spaces are PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUGUST 20, 1990 PAGE FIVE planned on Illinois Street as part of the Route 30 improvement project by IDOT. Proposed is the construction of a 1 1/2 story library building. The structure will incorporate the current library building and expand from these keeping a consistent design theme for the facade. The 27,160 square foot building will contain two (2) floor levels. The structure is planned to be completed in twa (2) phases with the upper floor (main level) being completed with first phase. The lower level containing meeting rooms, storage and miscellaneous library uses will be completed with future development. An on-site parking lot of 31 stalls is proposed at the north end of the site. The parking study was reviewed by Brent Coulter from Cemcon (memo 8/16/90) and his suggestion is to supply 21 parking spaces in Phase I; add 26 at completion of the meeting room; add 18 when building is complete. He is suggesting a 24 foot access driveway instead of 20 feet and $ 1/2 feet stalls. The Plan Commission is recommending the use approval of this (library) and use in a residential A zoning district. Mayor Latta stated she would like to go with Brent Coulter's recommendations. J. Dement stated he would like to have something that covers the Village as far as parking is concerned after Phase II is completed and the occupancy permit is issued. That will be when it will be determined how much parking will be needed. We need an agreement to cover the Village for parking. The. occupancy won't cover the parking. Attorney Harvey stated the parking could be covered under a intergovernmental agreement. There was discussion on the use of the basement. Barb Pitney stated they would not use the basement for anything, not even storage. There was much discussion on the Library's need for more parking spaces. Brent Coulter's letter is requiring 47 spaces and the Library is planning on supplying 28 spaces. J. Dement stated if parking becomes a problem for the Library users, they (Library) will provide parking. Mayor Latta stated we have a recommendation from our traffic engineer stating his options: 1) that the Library would lease 18 spaces from the Village lot so they could complete the meeting room and upper Library; and 2) if the Library were willing to put money into Escrow for future parking.

Attorney Roberts (Library) suggested a parking census be done on the parking in the area of the Library and it be funded by both the Library and the Village. Barbara Pitney suggested a committee be formed. One (1) or two (2) representatives from each Board and that committee bring a consensus to each respective Board. D. Lewin stated he would first like to go over. our traffic engineer's report before we send anyone to negotiate. The Library agreed not to occupy lower level until parking is solved. Attorney Harvey stated it would be very difficult to control and enforce. They are agreeing not to occupy and we are asking them not to occupy. There was much much more discussion in reference to the possible parking problem in the future. After no decision on the parking, Planner Waldock reviewed the Library request for sideyard variance (Plan Commission Report of 8/15/90). Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval of the side yard setback variance to allow extension of the existing building wall at six (6) feet from the property line; approval of the rear yard setback variance to allow a seven (7) foot setback; and, approval of the front yard setback variance to allow the vestibule and associated roof overhand (with columns) at a setback of 3 1/2 feet from the front property. line.
