D. Gullicksen moved to approve the New/Old Business Section of
the Agenda with the addition of an Executive Session for
personnel on possible litigation, to reconvene. Seconded by J.
Dement. Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
It was the consensus of the Board, due to representatives from
Peterson Manufacturing and Quail Run Development not in
attendance because they were told the meeting would start at
7:30, these two (2) items are moved to later in the meeting.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case 272-68902. Applicant
- Plainfield Public Library District. Location - Village wide.
Request - Text amendment to Ordinance #674 known as the "Zoning
Ordinance". The Plainfield Public Library District wishes to
expand their facilities on Illinois Street. Presently, Village
zoning regulations do not specifically include Public Libraries
as an allowed land use. For this reason, the Library District is
requesting a text amendment which would allow Public Libraries
after special approval in the Residential A zoning district.
Further, the Library District has made an associated rezoning
request to establish Residential A zoning over the entire
development area. Presently, about one-third of their site is B-
3 Business District, the remainder is Residential A. The
rezoning request will be fully discussed in a separate report.
The text amendment as proposed would add "Public Libraries" to
the list of uses now included in the Residential A District which
are allowed if approved, after a duly advertised public hearing
by the Board of Appeals (Ordinance #674, Section 3, Paragraph 8).
The Residential A District currently allows, Village Hall,
PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

municipally owned buildings for community meeting, schools and
churches without special approvals. Uses requiring special
approval in the Residential A District include: 1) professional
offices conducted by occupants,. 2) funeral homes, 3) recreational
and social centers, 4) parks and playgrounds, 5) medical clinics,
6) dental clinics, 7) telephone exchanges, 8) bus stations, 9)
post offices, 10) parking lots within 400 feet of schools,
churches and funeral homes, l1) golf courses, and 12) hospitals.
Public Libraries, through this amendment, would become the 13th
such use in this District. The text amendment and associated
rezoning provides the greatest amount of review authority to
oversee such developments. The special approval provision far
the Library use allows specific conditions be placed on any such
uses. This can legally address specific concerns associated with
the individual sites. A future re-use of the Library building
(if any) would require an appropriate zoning change. It is,
therefore, felt that this text amendment as proposed is the best
approach to zoning issues related to the Library expansion.
Under the present text item (1) hospitals, (m) group homes which
was added by an amendment in 1988, and this would become item (n)
Public Libraries. The Plan Commission has reviewed this request
and is recommending the text amendment be approved. Planner
Waldock stated tonight we have to do the text amendment and pass
the ordinance. Then we must rezone the property and the site
plan review. There will be future hearing because of the setback
variances. If the site plan is approved, we would have a public
hearing for approval of the special use of the library on this
specific site. Lastly, it would be the site plan review to
determine the specifics of the site plan.
W. Sharp moved to adopt Ordinance No. 1335 Amending The Village
Of Plainfield's Zoning Ordinance (No. 574) To Establish Public
Libraries As A Use Permitted Upon Authorization Of The Board Of
Trustees After A Public Hearing By The Board Of Appeals In The
Residence A Zoning District. Seconded by J. Gaylord. Vote by
roll call. Gaylord, yes; Dement, yes; Sharp, yes; Gullicksen,
yes; Kelly, yes; Lewin, yes.. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 271-68902.
Applicant - Plainfield Public Library District. Location - 705
North Illinois Street. Request - Rezoning of .17 acres from B-3
Business to Residence A. The subject site, in this case, is one
of three lots owned by the Plainfield Public Library District on
Illinois Street. This site is occupied by the present Library
facility at 705 North Illinois Street. Surrounding zoning
includes B-3 at St. Paul's Community Church to the west;
Residence A, at 707 North Illinois (owned by the Library
District) to the North; B-3 at the ZAS Inc. (Baci's Restaurant)

property to the east; Residence A, Single-Family (owned by Mike
Bunczewski) to the Northeast; Residence A, Tnex Kureger residence
to the Northwest; and, B-3 at Plymouth Congregational Church to
the south. The rezoning request is made at the request of the
Village to provide one zoning district for the entire development
site for the Library expansion. This request is made in
conjunction with an associated text amendment that provides for
Public Library buildings and facilities as an allowed use in the
Residence A District requiring special approval by the Board of
Appeals and Village Board. Re-use of the Library building in the
future by a commercial user would require a rezoning at that
time, thus providing maximum review potential by the Village.
W. Sharp moved to adopt Ordinance No. 1336 Rezoning Of The
Property At 705 Illinois Street From 8-3 To Residential A.
Seconded by J. Gaylord. Vote by roll call. Gaylord, yes;
Dement, yes; Sharp, yes; Gullicksen, yes; Kelly, yes; Lewin, yes.
6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 269-6590V.
Applicant - Peterson Manufacturing Company. Location - 700 West
143rd Street. Request - Variance from the I-1 District 50'
sideyard setback requirement to allow a building addition within
36' from the side property line. The applicant proposes a 4,800
square foot addition to an existing 23,525 square foot industrial
building. This addition is subject to a l4' variance from
sideyard setback requirements of the IT1 zoning district. The
building addition amounts to an additional 20~ of building area.
The facade design is consistent with that of the rest of the
building. In review of this project, staff feels that the
construction is a relatively minor expansion in light of the
overall development of the site. 1n this way, review of this
project should be similar to that conducted recently for
Coilplus, Inc. No new parking spaces are planned with this
project. The building addition would require 16 additional
spaces at a ratio of one space per 300 square feet. These spaces
can be constructed in front of the main building (north side) if
needed. However, no new employees are to be hired as a result of
this project. Presently, all parking and drive .areas are gravel.
No bituminous surfaces are found on site. Access to the rear
yard area is to continue along the west side of the site. The
building addition as placed, leaves 36' to Commonwealth Edison
property. The Commonwealth Edison property is used as right-of-
way for electric transmission lines and other electrical
equipment. The adjoining (Commonwealth Edison) property is not
likely to ever be developed as an industrial lot., The Plan
Commission recommends approval of a sideyard setback variance to
allow construction of a building addition 36` from the west

property line for Peterson Manufacturing Company at 700 West
143rd Street. There findings are: 1) the subject site is
impacted by floodplain to the east and south; 2) the property is
unusually shaped as a result of right-of-way far Commonwealth
Edison adjoining the site; 3) hardship exists due to the
floodplain and unusual lot configuration; and 4) the variance, if
approved, would not cause negative impact on adjoining
properties.
D. Gullicksen moved to concur with the Plan Commission to approve
a sideyard setback variance to allow construction of a building
addition 36' from the west property line for Peterson
Manufacturing (700 West 143rd Street). Seconded by L. Kelly.
Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 275-621905.
Applicant - Peterson Manufacturing Company. Location - 700 West
143rd Street. Request - Site Plan Review far a 120' x 40'
building addition onto an industrial facility. The applicant
proposes a 4,800 square foot addition to an existing 23,525
square foot industrial building. This addition is subject to a
14' variance from sideyard setback requirements of the I-1 zoning
district. The building addition amounts to an additional 20~ of
building area. The facade design is consistent with that of the
rest of the building. No new parking spaces are planned with
this project. The building addition would require 16 additional
spaces at a ratio of one space per 300 square feet. These spaces
can be constructed in front of the main building (north side) if
needed. However, no new employees are to be hired as a result of
this project. Presently, all parking and drive areas are gravel.
No bituminous surfaces are found on site. Access to the rear
yard area is to continue along the west side of the site. The
Plan Commission findings are as follows: 1) the industrial
expansion will not be detrimental to the area; 2) the Village
Engineer has determined that storm detention areas are not
required as a result of this project; 3) no .additional parking
demands will be generated by this project, but we are not waiving
additional parking spaces for the future; 4) the facade, as
planned, is acceptable since it is a continuation of an existing
design.; and 5) the project results in a minor site modification.
L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission to recommend
approval of the site plan for industrial expansion of a 4,800
square foot addition for Peterson Manufacturing, Inc., 700 West
143rd Street.. In the future, additional parking spaces may be
required by the Village when and if it deems necessary. Seconded
by D. Gullicksen. Vote by roll call. Gaylord, yes; Dement, yes;
Sharp, yes; Gullicksen, yes; Kelly, yes; Lewin, yes. 6 yes, 0
