approximately 90,000 square foot building expansion for United Distillers and Vintners.
This is the second expansion for United Distillers with the latest being a 130,000 sq. fi.
addition to the existing 185,000 sq. ft. in 1999. The subject site is situated at the
northwest comer of Van Dyke Road and 143rd Street and compromises approximately
forth (40) acres in size. Both Plan commission and Staff recommends approval with
stipulations.

the attorneys at UDV.
Jeff Lewandowski, The Dennis Group, Brian Barzak, Plant Manager, Dan Evans, George
Leaper and Gary Graham all representatives of UDV are present to answer questions.
Our understanding is that the parcel of land along the East Side of the plant along Van
Dyke Road has been taken care of and we are ready to proceed.
L. Vaupel stated that our attomey, Mark Matheson in this matter, has sent a letter to UDV
requesting the right of way. In that letter he indicated what the appraised value of that

#8 CENTURY TRACE UNITS 4A AND 5
Director Testin stated that the applicant is proposing a final plat for unit 4A located in the
southwestern part of the development and Unit 5, which is actually a townhouse section.
Unit 5 did not delineate any of the lots it kept it identified as townhouses with the specific
number oftownhouses that would be allowed. The project is located North of 119th
Street, east of Normantown Road, and adjacent to 248th Avenue.. The applicant has
identified 70 units for Unit 4A and 62 units for Unit 5. The Village Board approved the
annexation and preliminary plat for Century Trace in January of 2000. It allowed for
9,000-sq. ft. lot minimums and 75 ft. lot width. Both Plan Commission and Staff
identified Unit 4 A as consistent with the annexation and preliminary plat that was
attached to it. Unit 5 there were concerns about the rear elevations of the building, the
rear elevations on the north would be across from a detention area with the park on the
other side and the rear of the building would also face 119th at 248th. Staff recommends
that the preliminary plat, final plat, and site plan review for Unit 5 of Century Trace be

concerns with the monotony of the townshomes.
Administrator Burghard stated that the two cases are distinguished legally where they
stand in terms of status of approval and disapproval.
M. Collins moved to approve the final plat for Century Trace Unit 4A with the 3
stipulations listed in the staff report and furthermore, I move we remand the preliminary
plat, final plat, and site plan review of Unit 5 of Century Trace back to the Plan
Commission. Due to the lack of a second the motion dies.
#9 PLAINFIELD/NAPERVILLE BUSINESS PARK
Director Testin stated that the applicant is requesting a special use permit for a Planned
United Development and preliminary plat to develop a fourteen acre parcel with various
commercial and retail uses. The site is zoned B-3 and is located east of IL 59, south of
Andrew Road, and west of Rhea Drive in Wolf Creek Industrial Park. The proposed uses
for the site include an automotive repair facility on the northernmost lot, a retail plaza
spanning lots two through five, a gas station on lots six and seven and a restaurant with a
drive-through on lot eight. Full site plan review is required for all lots. Instead of funds
for a sidewalk along Division Street, the Plan Commission felt the applicant's internal
pedestrian network was sufficient. The applicant provides for a covered walkway in front
of the retail plaza. Proper connections to existing and future sidewalks will need to be
reviewed at time of site plan review. The building facades consist of green metal standing
seam roofs and glass and aluminum storefronts with face brick and decorative splitface
block along the ground level. Decorative towers are placed periodically and add some
character to the faqade. The eastern faqade will incorporate awnings over the service
doors to help break up the faCade.

Carlson, architect on the project, and Jim Missig, CCC Properties were present to answer

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
Director Testin stated that the Village has received a request from the residents on
Cambridge Circle. This is a private road that's been identified. The original request was
that the Village would take over the road. There were concerns with dealing with
privately owned road. The annexation agreement states that this road would be privately
owned and maintained. The Plan Commission recommended to the Board that the
Village not accept ownership of Cambridge Circle but contract with the Association for
snow and ice removal.
The Board's primary concern was any liability that the Village could incur. Trustee
Collins stated that there are enough contractor's out there to allow this homeowners
association a varied choice and I would not like to see the Village get involved in lending
itself out.
Mr. Marvin Wilson, 13965 Cambridge Circle questioned why this road became a private
road. Administrator Burghard responded that when your developer came to the Village
and proposed a development they indicated that they wanted that as a private road. They
wanted this private road so they did not have to follow certain set back requirements,
construction standards, widths of road, depths of curb, uses adjoining it, and number of
driveways.
R. Swalwell moved to deny the request, and that the Village stay out of being a
subcontractor for private homeowner associations in regards to road repair work.

yes; Thomson, yes. 4 yes, 2 absent 0 no. Motion carried.
