Durbin stated that this is a request for several items. The applicant is requesting approval to build an 8-unit addition onto the existing industrial/warehouse building, located at the end of the Riverwalk Drive cul-de-sac, just west of the Plainfield Molding building. Riverwalk Industrial Park is located on the west side of Rt. 59, north of the Du?age River and south of the Law Enforcement Center. A rear yard setback variance is requested; Landscape planting are proposed to be distributed throughout the subject site and includes a future prairie restoration area; parking provisions may need to be adjusted as the building is occupied; Underground electrical service should be provided. There was a lengthy discussion regarding parking issues and compliance with changing conditions. The Trustees would like compliance at the beginning of a project instead of trying to enforce the rules later. Community Development Director Durbin spoke about business licensing regulations. Rodney Tonelli, representing the applicant, J. B. Partners expressed his views and the belief that the proposed 43 parking spaces will be far in excess of the number required. Under the building code, a maximum of 102 employees could work in the leased warehouse units. That would require 68 parking spaces, which the developer said could be accommodated through lot expansions. Trustee Dement was dissatisfied with the inadequate information he was given and wanted to know more about the proposed addition of eight industrial/warehouse units and attached offices. He would like to see dimensions on all plats. There was also discussion regarding the ov6rhead power lines along the north side of Riverwalk Circle. Underground electrical service per Subdivision Ordinance is required. S. Rathbun moved that we direct the Village Attorney to draft the ordinance approving the rear yard setback variance and in that variance to include a procedure whereby as each unit is occupied, they will come in and sign statements saying how many employees they will have and the number of parking spaces actually consumed on the site. Seconded by J. Darnell. Vote by roll call. Dement, no; O'Connell, no; Rathbun, yes; Damell, yes; Stalzer, yes. 3 yes, 2 no. Motion carried. NATURE'S CROSSING J. Durbin summarized his report stating the applicants are requesting final plat approval for unit 2 of Nature's Crossing, a residential development located on the north side of 135th Street west of Rt. 30 (immediately west of Walker's Grove). This is the second unit of three total units and would provide 51 new detached single family lots. The Floodplain modifications and Blakley Box culvert design have not yet received approvals. We would not be opposed to site grading and underground work prior to these PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JULY 20, 1998 PAGE THREE approvals as equipment can access this portion of the site via an existing farm crossing. Building construction cannot begin until public access is provided. The final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat and the annexation agreement. Alan Norton and Jorge Boada, Agent for Alan Dale Development Corporation were present and answered question regarding the flood plain and 135th Street improvements. The Trustees discussed that no building construction is allowed until public access is provided with a box culvert over the West Norman drain and the culvert bridge for the the 135t~ Street improvements will include sidewalks on both sides. Details of the size were deferred to the Planning and Development Committee. S. Rathbun moved to approve the final plat for Nature's Crossing Unit 2 subject to the following stipulations: Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer; Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection District; No building construction can take place until public access is provided per the July 14th letter from th Alan Dale; Sidewalks on both sides of culvert bridge at 135 Street and that the Planning and Development Committee decide on the width and dimensions.

PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES JULY 20, 1998 PAGE FOUR THOMPSON REZONING, 502 DIVISION ORDINANCE J. Durbin explained that the Village Board previously directed the attorney to prepare the ordinance and sought clarification. Screening is proposed to be provided along the west property line in the form of evergreens. The applicant discussed this with the neighbor after the Plan Commission meeting and felt that she supported a landscape buffer. Current site parking provisions appear in compliance with the quantities required by the zoning ordinance. We will review at the time of building permit application. Should the parking provisions of the zoning ordinance prove inadequate for the proposed use, we could enforce provision of additional parking or a reduction in the maximum occupancy loan of the structure when the problem is documented. The Board again discussed parking issues and the possibility of establishing Business Licenses. There was an understanding that should a more intense BTD use develop, it could mean removal of the garage to create additional parking. J. Dement moved to adopt Ordinance No. 1801 rezoning of property at 502 North Division Street from R-1 overlay to Business Transition District. Seconded by S. Rathbun. Vote by roll call.

S. Rathbun moved to respond that we do not concur with the letter and to proceed no further. Seconded by J. Dement. Voice vote. 5 yes, 0 no, 1 absent. Motion carded. FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT C.
