PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 2, 1996 PAGE THREE #5 DISCUSSION -WILL COUNTY SPECIAL USE PERMIT; DAVID AND ROSEMARY ANDERMANN; JOHN F. ANDERMANN. Planner Durbin spoke to the Board advising them of the request from applicants David and Rosemary Andermann and also John F. Andermann. The applicants are requesting two separate special use permits from Will County. The first request is for a special use permit for a farmhouse on less than 10 acres in the A-1 Zoning District. The second is for a special use permit to operate a business in an A-1 Zoning District. As the properties are within one and one half miles of the current Village limits, the applications are subject to Village review and consideration per Illinois State Statutes. The Village cannot approve or deny the applications, we could file a letter of objection with Will County, which would then require a 3/4 majority vote for approval. Attorney Barbara Smiles of Kramer, Kramer & Associates, P. C. spoke to the Board in explaining any concerns they might have in that particular area in the request for a Special Use Permit to allow operation of a business on the property along with their farming operations. Planner Durbin stated that Staff and the Plan Commission recommend that the Village forward a letter of no objection regarding both special use applications. to Will County. The special use permit would be specific to the business and would not allow for continuance of commercial uses other than this type of business. Likewise, the special use permit would not provide for the construction of additional commercial buildings. The applicant, Jahn F. Andermann stated that it has always been his understanding that the Special Use Permit is basically limited to what we are doing now, if we were to bring in different sizes of equipment, in my mind that would be changing the nature of the business and would not fit in the Special Use Permit. It would not be my intent to change the nature of the business. J. Dement moved to have the Village forward a letter of no objection with regard to both Special Use applications, with a stipulation of no expansion of additional buildings, or substantial increase in the size of the present buildings be acceptable with this special use request. The applicants would be permitted to construct additional farm related buildings just as they could today. Seconded by R. Smolich. Vote by roll call.

We are asking for a time frame to be set for payment without an interest penalty and to waive any previous interest charges. They aze asking to pay the applicable tap-on fees when and if we choose to hook up. Trustee Dement proposed that we could freeze the tap on chazges for 5 years and remove interest off the line charges for a period of 5 years. Discussion continued on this proposal among the Trustees. It was the desire of the Board to let staff handle the reseazch of residences in the Plainfield Acres Subdivision who have not hooked up to water and sewer, and then come back to the Board with recommendation for an incentive program, such as 6 month time period to pay the line charge and then pay tap-on fees as applicable, and see how this applies to everyone else.
