requesting a PUO site plan review for the Kohl's. The applicant has identified several of the lots to
have a drive-thru as well as identified the potential for a bank and a gas station in the PUO.
Trustee Calabrese moved to direct the Village Attorney to draft an Ordinance rezoning the property at
the northwest corner of Route 59 and 119th Street from R-1 to B-3, pursuant to the Annexation
Agreement. Seconded by Trustee Collins. Vote by roll call. Collins, yes; Swalwell, yes; O'Connell,
yes; Thomson, yes; Cherry, yes; Calabrese, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion Carried.
Trustee O'Connell asked if approval could be reserved for the use and the site plan as they come up.
Mr. Testin responded typically what you're seeing, especially with the banks, they're coming through
as PUD, they're not allowed either as a special use or a permitted use. What they would have to do
is come back at a later stage and ask for that type of a use, but they would have to come in with a
Special Use Permit to amend the PUO.
Mr. Endy Zemendies, Attorney for the Ryan Companies, stated the flexibility that the Ryan
Companies is asking for is minor and we have limited what the outlots may be used for. To answer
the Trustees question, they will be presented to you, we have to come back for a site plan review. At
the same time, the uses we are asking for flexibility on are neither proposed uses nor necessarily
preferred uses.
Mr. John Bell, with the Ryan Companies, stated basically the whole concept of the PUO is to try to
come up with an overall plan that is basically a give and take for both developer and for the Village.
We are agreeing to maintain certain architectural guidelines, we have increased our set backs further
than what is allowed in the B-3 zoning, and we have increased our landscaping requirement. We are
asking for drive-thru approval on any of the outlots, so long as the drive-thrus do not face Route 59 or
119th Street. We are not asking for total freedom to do whatever we want to do out there, the PUD
has a 3 page list of architectural guidelines. We are agreeing up front that this development is going
to look a certain way, buildings are going to be in a certain place, and that we are going to have a
landscaping buffer. It's a package deal, not just a Kohl's deal.
Trustee Calabrese stated his objection to a possible gas station and a bank on that corner, and fears
losing control of the outlots. Mr. Zemendies stated that under this plan, even if there were a bank, it
would not be on the corner. .
Mr. Jim Testin stated with the PUD, the Village can ask for increased set backs and additional
landscaping above what the code asks for. We are trying to get a better design based on that. There
is a flexibility trade-off.
Village Administrator Burghard stated there are a couple of ways the Board could look at this. You
can just say no out right. Obviously, from the staff's point of view, we recommend that you look at it
as a Planned Unit Development because that gives you the greatest degree of control, but also gives
the developer a certain degree of flexibility in terms of site design. You could direct the attorney to
draft the ordinance for the Planned Unit Development zoning to B-3 and creating the Special Uses on
the outlots as the developer has requested. One outlot contains a bank and a couple of the outlots
contain drive-thrus and that's all the developer is asking for at that point. Another option is for you to
direct the Village Attorney to draft a Planned Unit Development Ordinance under B-3 zoning for the
.Plainfield Village Board of Trustees

entire parcel and not deal with the outlots at this point and that reserves the maximum degree of
flexibility that some of the board members are looking for.
Trustee Calabrese moved to direct the Village Attorney to draft an Ordinance to allow a Planned Unit
Oevelopment with B-3 zoning for the entire parcel granting a Kohl's Department Store use.
Seconded by Trustee O'Connell. Vote by roll call. Collins, yes; Swalwell, no; O'Connell, yes;
Thomson, yes; Cherry, yes; Calabrese, yes. 5 yes, 1 no. Motion Carried.
Trustee Calabrese moved to approve the final plat for approximately 17 -acre commercial
development. Seconded by Trustee Cherry. Vote by roll call. Collins, yes; Swalwell, yes; O'Connell,
yes; Thomson, yes; Cherry, yes; Calabrese, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion Carried.
Trustee O'Connell asked if there was any discussion about the rear elevation of the building. Mr.
T estin stated there was discussion and what came out of it was the applicant adding additional
landscaping. There was some general discussion about the rear elevation.
Trustee Swalwell moved to provide site plan approval for a Kohl's Department Store. Seconded by
Trustee Cherry. Vote by roll call. Collins, yes; Swalwell, yes; O'Connell, yes; Thomson, yes; Cherry,
yes; Calabrese, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion Carried. .
Administrator Burghard stated that at a prior meeting the Mayor and the Board acted upon the
affirmative recommendation of the' Economic Oevelopment Commission to grant an economic
incentive to the Ryan Companies, the developer of this site. The economic incentive was to be based
upon certain sales objectives and sales tax reporting mechanisms of Kohl's. The Board directed the
staff then to prepare and economic incentive agreement with the Ryan Companies and within that
there were certain kinds of perimeters, for instance that maximum amount of the incentive was going
to be $250,000 unless the Ryan Companies built and additional 50,000 square foot store on the site
which then would raise the incentive to $500,000. There were matrixes on how the sales tax would
be split. The economic incentive agreement states Kohl's is to open by January 1, 2003, the Ryan
Companies is looking for an exten~ion on the date. After some general discussion, the Board and the
developer agreed on May 1, 2003.
Village Administrator Burghard stated he would bring up for discussion future economic incentives to
the Economic Development Commission at the meeting on February 12, 2002.
Trustee Calabrese moved to extend the Kohl's opening date to May 1, 2003 on the Economic
Incentive Agreement. Seconded by Trustee Swalwell. Vote by roll call. Collins: yes; Swalwell, yes;
O'Connell, yes; Thomson, yes; Cherry, yes; Calabrese, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion Carried.
Trustee Swalwell asked, with regards to the whole PUD process and the banks and gas stations, can
we get some better direction from the people doing the comprehensive plan to come up with a snap
shot of where we're at, how many banks we have, how many they think would be good for the future?
ëven if staff does something, I would like to get a better idea of the big picture as opposed to us doing
it piece by piece.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Roger Wright, Vice-President of Hutchinson Engineering gave a presentation of Hutchinson
Engineering's proposal to the OuPage River Bridge project. He stated their approach as basically a
three-phase approach and explained those phases.
Trustee O'Connell asked why there was no timetable. Mr. Wright stated they projected that they
would be able to complete the initial phase by the late summer of 2002. He would not put a date on
the second phase because structural engineering studies need to be done plus the coordination with
