Voice vote. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. 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 PLAINFTELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JULY 10, 1989 AGE TWO 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. PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JULY 10, 19$9 PAGE THREE 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. i• 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 PLATNFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ~„ JULY 10, 1989 PAGE FOUR 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. s 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.
