Planner Waldock reported on Case No. 220-51889V. Location - 2547
Amherst Court North. Applicant - Mark S. Cox, Owner. Request -
Variance to allow a six (6') foot fence within thirty (30') feet
of the adjoining Pheasant Chase Drive right-of-way. The subject
site is developed with a single-family home and subdivision I.D.
sign. The house is placed to meet the 30 (30') foot setback from
Amherst Court and Pheasant Chase Drive. The applicant originally
proposed to install a screening fence six (6') feet tall at a
setback of three (3') feet from the property line along Pheasant

Chase Drive to meet the rear of the subdivision I.D. sign. The
fence is angled at each end to preserve sight lines for traffic
on Amherst and Route 59. Village ordinances limit corner lots to
three (3') foot open fence within .thirty (30') feet of lot lines
adjoining streets. it is felt that this regulation is intended
to protect traffic visibility and community aesthetics. In this
case, the Zoning Board of Appeals identified Route 59 as
providing a hardship due to traffic impact and intensity of use
adjacent to this single-family residential site. The Zoning
Board of Appeals felt that the subject site is unusual in the
fact that it has frontage on three (3) public right-of-ways,
therefore, a variance, if granted, would not set a precedent for
the typical corner lot. In reviewing a variance for this site,
the intent of the fence ordinance was considered. The Zoning
Board of Appeals felt that a three (3') foot setback for a
screening fence could not meet the intent of the ordinance for
aesthetic protection. However, the Board felt a compromise would
still be able to preserve area aesthetics and not result in
adverse impacts. A setback of twenty (20') feet was felt to be
- acceptable to protect traffic sight lines and aesthetics. The
Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval of variances which
would allow a six (6') foot high screening fence within twenty
(20') feet of the property line adjoining Pheasant Chase Drive.
Mayor Latta stated the Plan Commission was concerned that this
could be requested by property owners of any corner lot in the
' Village. The consensus was that ten (10') feet was as much as
° they could allow. There was some discussion by the Board if
there should be a fifteen (15') foot or ten (10') foot setback.
J. Dement moved to allow Mr. Cox to install his fence within ten
(10') feet of lot line along Pheasant Chase Drive angled to allow
better vision. Seconded by D. Gullicksen. Vote by roll call.
Gullicksen, yes; Kelly, yes; Sharp, yes; Dement, yes; Gaylord,
yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock reported on County Case. Location - along the
south side of west Renwick Road between Indian Boundary Line Road
and County Line Road. Applicant - Randall Jacobs, property
owner. Request - rezoning from County E-2, Estate Single-Family
zoning to A-1, Agricultural. The subject site in this case is
vacant farm land. The site was rezoned to E-2 along with the
property subdivided by Chris Rury at Indian Boundary Line Road in
- the spring of 1988. The site experiences occasional storm water
inundation. There are a series of 10 acre parcels east of the
subject site. One of these is built on a present (the Carlson
property). Portions of the Rury Subdivision have sold and are
under construction with new single-family home as well. The
nature of the area remains of an agricultural character.

Surrounding zoning is agricultural. Sewer and water are not
accessible to the site. For these reasons, staff has no
' objection to the rezoning request. The Plan Commission
• recommends approval of the rezoning from E-2 to A-1 as requested.
L. Ke11y moved to concur with the Plan Commission to recommend
approval. of the rezoning from E-2 to A-1 for County Case of
Randall Jacobs. Seconded by D. Gullicksen. Voice vote. 5 yes,
0 no. Motion carried.

Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the proposed annexation of
the Panogiataros/Pappas site at 100 South Joliet Road (former
Dino's Restaurant). .Since the time of the last Board review of
the Panogiotaros/Pappus Annexation Agreement, demolition and
removal of .building debris has been completed on site. As you
recall, there was discussion that the burned down house and
remnant foundation and chimney should be cleared. In fact, there
was a County legal. action taken regarding this matter. The Board
verbally approved the annexation agreement language but required
the remaining demolition and site grading to be completed prior
to execution. of the agreement or annexation of the site. Since
the sate has now been cleared and graded as required, the
annexation agreement can be executed. Staff recommends passage
of ordinances for execution of the annexation agreement,
establishment of B-3 zoning and annexation of the sate. There
was much discussion on the extension of the water line, which
will be extended from Robert Avenue along the west property line
to terminate at the right-of-way line of Route 30. This would be
a 10" line. They also propose to extend the sanitary sewer
located just north of Sam Reichert's property on Route 30.
Because of the distance, they have designed this sanitary sewer
line to serve their awn property. There should be a modification
of the proposed Annexation Agreement to clarify the water and
sewer extensions. Attorney Harvey will get together with Planner
Waldock to insert details of requirements of the extensions.
Also, Mr. Harvey recommended on page 3, paragraph "E" should read
"To issue the necessary permits and/ar license to Owners subject
to the a lacant conformin to all Villa e Codes and Statutes far
the construction and development of a family style restaurant and
to consider a liquor license which would allow Owners to serve
alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises". Planner
Waldock recommends on page 3, paragraph "F" should read "To
permit the Owner's Tap-•on to Village water mains and/or sanitary
sewer lines with payment of standard fees; and upon extensions at
the owners expense of a 10" water main from Robert Avenue right--
of-way north along the west property line of the subject site to
the south right-of-way lane of Route 30". Mayor Latta also
requested Planner Waldock get some corrected wordage in the

agreement on the sewer line. D. Gullicksen stated he wanted
something in the agreement in reference to capping the well.
Also, the agreement should state that parcel 1 and parcel 2 will
be developed as one (1) property. .Planner Waldock stated due to
the water line size 10" is the minimum to serve this site and to
the fire hydrant, since there is no oversizing, there will be no
recapture. There should be an easement created an the
Panogiotaros property for the water lines. It was the consensus
of the Board that this project should be scheduled for a Workshop
in the near future.

Administrator Pusinelli spoke in reference to the Plainfield
Commerce Association has stated it will donate five (5) "Village
of Plainfield" signs. These signs are to be placed at strategic
entrances to the Village. However, before these signs are
installed, staff wishes to obtain Board approval. The' State of
Illinois will not allow "non-state spec" signs to be installed
within State right-of-way. Therefore, staff has contact five (5)
property owners seeking their permission for placement of these
signs upon their property. These five (5) locations are shown on
- the attached map dated July 6, 1989: 1) Chaplin Farm - NW Route
59/135th Street; 2) Rod Baker Ford - Route 30; 31 Plainfield
Christian Church - Route 125; 4) 23950 Rolf Road (Plainsman
Terrace) - NE Route 59/Rolf Road; and 5) 1837 Willow Drive -
Route 126. It was the consensus of the Board for the
Administrator to contact the property owners for permission to
locate the signs.
Trustee Gaylord reported to the Board the Park District
1 (Plainfield Athletic Club) is requesting permission to use the
DesPlaines Street parking lot for a dunk tank and speed throw.
- This lot has been reserved for handicap parking. It was the
consensus of the Soard that Administrator Pusinelli, Chief
Bennett and Ron Miller will make a decision with the Park
District.
Pat MacLean, President of Plainfield Soccer Association, spoke
requesting permission to place a lighted sign in front of
Plainfield Plaza to advertise registration for the Fall Season.

W. Sharp reported the Police Department have two (2) new Chevy
squad cars delivered this week.
D. Gullicksen reported Mark Stofko received his Class A Water
Operators License and he is to be commended on his hard work and
efforts. Also, in the last five (5) days, we have pumped one
million gallons of water, which is up from 700,000 plus gallons
pumped in the middle of June. Our water usage has increased
rapidly. At this point, we do not need to put a "band" on the
water, but if the gallons pumped continue to rise, it is possible
in the near future. We are annexing property into the Village,
therefore, we are in need of a policy on wells to control sources
of contamination of ground water in the future.
