#3 PLAINFIELD FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Mr. Jim Pubentz, Sr., Deputy Chief of the Plainfield Fire Protection District, requested that the
Village consider raising the fire protection impact fee for residential homes to $1,000 per unit and
commercial development to $.15 per square foot. With the growth, the Fire Department needs to
expand and it is logical to have growth pay for the expansion rather than ask the existing residents to
approve a referendum.
Trustee Fay moved to increase the Fire District impact fee from $500 to $1,000 per unit within
annexation agreements consistent with the Fire Department's request. Seconded by Trustee Dement.
Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Thomson, yes; Fay, yes; Waldorf, yes; Collins, yes; O'Connell, yes.

#4 APPEAL FOR 803 BARTLETT
Administrator Burghard stated that earlier this year a variance was applied for a carriage house close
to the property line at 803 Bartlett. Subsequently, the petitioner removed and withdrew the variance
request and applied for a building permit following the Village's rules and regulations.
Subsequently, the building permit was issued and some neighbors objected and filed a case in local
Will County Circuit Court and the judge turned it back to the Village for the Village to determine this
administratively. The parties then entered into a written agreement to abide by the final decision of
the Village of Plainfield. Subsequently, the Zoning Board of Appeals heard both sides of the issue
and voted in favor of affirming the issuance of a building permit for the carriage house at 803
Bartlett. The item is in front of the Board to review and consider the recommendation of the Zoning
Board and consider whether or not the Board concurs with the recommendation.

Board Meeting Minutes

Mr. John Pieper, attorney for the Plaintiff Florence Dutkiewicz and Ruth Hanson, and Mr. Carl Buck,
attorney for Heath Wright and Michelle Kelly, addressed the Board with their interpretation of the
ordinance in reference to the issuance of the Building permit.
Ms. Nancy Mazurek stated she lives next door to where the coach house will be built and feels that
the Board should approve the request.
Mr. Clayton Olsen, 723 N. Bartlett, stated in his opinion the proposed carriage house is in compliance
with the character of the historic nature of the neighborhood.
Mr. Bob Potteroff, 813 Bartlett, stated that in his opinion the coach house is not the problem; the
problem is that this is a corner lot and the coach house faces someone's front yard.
Ms. Michelle Kelly stated that they started this process by meeting with staff. They then got an
architect that specializes with historic homes. Initially, they applied for a variance, but after listening
to the neighbors and both Florence Dutkiewicz and Ruth Hanson stated under oath that if the coach
house was moved back, they would be fine with it. After moving it back to where staff said the
coach house should go, they are now being sued.
Trustee Fay asked Ms. Kelly if she would consider a compromise in the height of the structure that
would allow the neighbors to have more light. Ms. Kelly responded that the building is only 6 feet
higher than the garage she has now. They already have a one-story, two-car garage, they are not
trying to build another bay, and it's giving them the second floor. If someone was willing to pay
to remove and replace the foundation that is already in place, she would be willing to move the
building.
Mr. Michael Lambert stated that having been one of the original authors of the ordinance in 1995,
this particular carriage house is within the intent of what that ordinance was written to accommodate.
Trustee Collins moved to affirm the action of the Zoning Board that the issuance of the Building
Permit was correct. Seconded by Trustee Dement. Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Thomson, yes;
Fay, yes; Waldorf, no; Collins, yes; O'Connell, yes. 5 yes, 1 no. Motion carried.
#5 CONCEPT PLAN NOTICE FOR 400 W. LOCKPORT (BAPTIST CHURCH)
One of the aspects of the particular case is the demolition permit. The applicant is looking to
redevelop this corner. The updates to the demolition permit process of the Building Code required
notification to the Board of a concept plan.
Pastor O'Neal, First Baptist Church, reviewed with the Board a concept plan to demolish the existing
structures at 400 W. Lockport, 606 Division, and 604 Division commonly known as the First Baptist
Church. There is not currently enough parking, the air conditioning is insufficient, mass is frequently
interrupted by outside noise, and the building needs structural improvements. The church family
would like to sell the property and take the glass stained windows and implement them in a new

facility along with some other items of the church. Pastor O'Neal stated that their heritage as a
church is not defined by the building, but by their beliefs.
Mr. Carl Bryant reviewed a concept plan for redeveloping the First Baptist Church property. The
concept would be an architecturally significant bank building that would be integrated into the
redevelopment of the former First Midwest Bank building and the rest of the block with the exception
of Bank One property.
Mr. Myron Pennington, a First Baptist Church Deacon, stated their church got started back in 1834
by a circuit riding preacher came through town and met with a few people and that's how the church
got started.
Mr. Michael Lambert stated the Church should be commended for their soul searching and that they
need a new facility. This is not really an issue about future growth. He is concerned about the
structure itself. Because the building is no longer useful to the First Baptist Church, does not mean
the building is no longer useful to the community. There are sensitive uses that can be put in historic
buildings.
Mr. Paul Bannister stated he was saved by the Church, the people are the church, not the building the
church is in.
Mr. Rich Luka stated he is a Deacon, Sunday School Superintendent, Usher, and has taught Sunday
School at the church. Over the years, he has seen lives change and the church teaches right from
wrong and will do a greater job of that in the future.
Mr. Fred Fronic, Joliet resident, has been coming to the First Baptist Church since 1990. He is on the
church's building committee. They have received numerous offers on the property and all of them
were contingent upon demolition of the building. They had more than one offer that was
substantially larger than Mr. Bryant's, but Mr. Bryant has respect for the town and does quality work
and that's why they chose to go with his contract.
Mr. Loren Robins has been with the church since 1953. It's not the building, it's what was preached
in the building.
Administrator Burghard pointed out that the concept before the Mayor and the Board this evening is
not whether the church should expand or not expand. An application has been made to consider
demolition of the church, our Ordinances require that the Mayor and the Board at a public meeting be
advised that demolition is a possibility and it is moving through the process. What is occurring
tonight is simply the fact that the Mayor and the Board are being notified that a demolition inquiry
and application has been made and informed of a concept to redevelop the property.
Mayor pro tern called a ten-minute recess. The meeting resumed at 8:50 p.m.

#6 NA TIONAL SIGN PLAZA AGREEMENT
Mr. Testin stated this was before the Board previously. This is a unified signage program that has
been proposed to help alleviate snipe signs.
Trustee Dement stated he wanted to make sure that the residents or businesses that are adjacent to the
right of way that the signs will be placed will be notified.
Mr. Christopher Sinclair, National Sign Plazas, gave a presentation demonstrating the snipe signs in
the area, how the sign plazas can eliminate them, and the proposed locations to put the sign plazas.
Trustee Thomson stated that the locations seemed to fit in well with the community. Trustee Fay
asked how the Village will police the snipe signs that will appear in addition to the sign plazas. Mr.
Testin stated that National Sign Plazas is going to work with the homebuilder's themselves. This
program is to help provide the homebuilders legal signage to work with. Mayor pro tern O'Connell
suggested fining the builders that do not comply with the Sign plazas. Trustee Collins stated he
would like to see a six-month review of this project instead of the one-year that is proposed.
Administrator Burghard stated if the Board adopts the Sign plazas, some transition time will be given
to the homebuilders to comply, if they don't comply, their signs will be confiscated and disposed of
them.
Trustee Dement moved to approve an agreement with National Sign Plaza for a unified directional
signage program for the Village. Seconded by Trustee Thomson. Vote by roll call. Dement, yes;
Thomson, yes; Fay, yes; Waldorf, yes; Collins, no; O'Connell, yes. 5 yes, 1 no. Motion carried.
#7 AMENDING LIQUOR CODE TO ADD A CLASS "L" WINE BOUTIQUE LICENSE
Clerk Janik stated that the applicant, Anna Denys, is seeking to open a wine and cheese boutique at
603 Lockport Street and has requested a specialty wine boutique license, which would allow the retail
sale of bottled wines and premium beers in the original package, not for consumption on the licensed
premises. The license would also include delivery, without charge, of alcoholic liquor in small and
limited amounts for sampling purposes in conjunction with the sales promotion efforts. The class
"L" also authorizes the sale of alcoholic liquor related accessories i.e. cork screws, glasses, cheeses,
honey, breads, non-alcoholic sparkling juices, etc. The hours would be consistent with package
liquor stores holding Class B, C, and G. The cost of the license is $1,000.00.
Ms. Denys, applicant, was present and stated the wines that the boutique would carry are wines that
are less widely known, they are not found at Jewel or Dominicks, and that is why they are requesting
permission to offer sampling. They would also like to sell gourmet beers.
Trustee Fay moved to approve direct the Village Attorney to draft an Ordinance amending the Liquor
Code to add a Class "L" Wine Boutique License at a cost of $1,000.00. Seconded by Trustee
Thomson. Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Thomson, yes; Fay, yes; Waldorf, yes; Collins, yes;

#9 TARTAN CLUB AND FAIRFIELD CLUB
Mr. Testin stated the applicant is seeking Annexation, Special Use for a PUD, rezoning, site plan
approval, and a preliminary plat to develop two developments on approximately 30 acres, just north
of the Village Hall. Tartan Club would be located on approximately 20 acres and would contain 76
courtyard homes. Lake Fairfield Club would be located on 9.46 acres and would contain 144
condominiums. The subject site is located on Wood Farm Road, just east and north of the post office.
Additionally, the applicant has incorporated a roadway connection between Route 30 and Wood
Farm Road.
Mr. John Philipchuck, attorney for the applicant, the developer has worked on the site plans with the
Village's design consultant and complies with the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Teng Plan. The
proposed developments were designed with the StarLine and the commuter station in mind.
Mr. Philipchuck reviewed with the Board the revised plan with that incorporates the Board comments
from a previous meeting. Mr. Kennedy, architect, reviewed the different home elevations and
architectural features.
Trustee Fay stated his primary concern is that there are natural grading in this area that aid in the flow
of storm water and altering that terrain is a tremendous concern. Mr. Philipchuck stated that the
developer will have to comply with the Village's ordinances for storm water. Trustee Collins
questioned the roadway and the right of way for the land. Mr. Philipchuck stated they have plans to
contact the Federal government regarding the right of way, but have other options in case the post
office does not agree. Trustee Collins also pointed out that the impact fees for the Fire Protection
District were increased this evening and the developer would need to revise the annexation agreement
to reflect the increase. Mayor pro tern O'Connell questioned the lot sizes. Mr. Philipchuck
responded that in Tartan Club, the average lot size is 6,090 square feet and there is a minimum10'
setback between the structures. The net density, removing the lake, is a little over 4 units per acre.
Trustee Waldorf moved to direct the Village attorney to draft an Ordinance annexing two (2) parcels
totaling approximately 30 acres located between Van Dyke and Wood Farm Roads and north of
Lockport Street for a 220 unit residential subdivision. Seconded by Trustee Collins. Vote by roll
call. Dement, no; Thomson, no; Fay, no; Waldorf, yes; Collins, yes; O'Connell, no. 2 yes, 4 no.
Motion fails.
Mr. Philipchuck requested some additional feedback and direction from the Board. Trustee Fay
stated that the Board was unanimous about letters of support from the school and park districts and
the developer does not have those letters. Additionally, previously he stated that the development
Village of Plainfield
Board Meeting Minutes

lacked creativity, the density was an issue, the ingress/egress were issues, and they have not been
resolved. Trustee Dement stated that it may fit the Plan but does not fit in his vision of the Village
and he will not approve it. Trustee Thomson stated he agreed with Trustee Dement, the houses and
lots are too small and it just doesn't seem to fit. Mayor pro tern O'Connell stated that the proposed
development has come a long way from the first time. She is concerned with variation in lot sizes,
they don't all have to be large, but they do need to vary. She also indicated concern with the 10' in
between structures.
Mr. Philipchuck responded that we, as a community, need to follow the rules and laws that are
created by the plan. If you don't support plan, then the plan should be redone. We need more input
from the Trustees as to how the vision has changed from the Plan. The developer has worked with
the Village's consultant and adopted the items that he suggested. Recently, Mr. Hoffman from Teska
and Associates, addressed the Board and showed various aspects, we listened and put many of his
ideas in this plan and you all said yes that is what we want for our community.
Trustee Fay stated that the Comprehensive Plan is a working document and a document of
suggestion. Secondly, we previously, prior to his being on the Board, had a concept committee and
he has requested that the Concept Committee be brought back. Additionally, some on the Board did
not want to rezone the property and wanted to leave it to light industrial.
Mr. Philipchuck stated that they will work to address the issues that the Board has indicated.
#10 FAIRFIELD RIDGE
Mr. Philipchuck, attorney for the applicant, stated they are seeking to develop 116 townhomes and 32
duplexes on approximately 27.43 acres. The applicant was previously seeking to develop 164
townhome units and after previous Board discussion has eliminated 48 townhomes and introduced 36
duplex units. The applicant is also seeking approval for approximately 6.43 acres of commercial
space. The subject site is located north of Lockport Street on New Van Dyke Road east of Route 30
and is currently zoned B-3. The proposed density is at 5.5 units per acre. Mr. Philipchuck then
reviewed the concept plan with the Board.
Trustee Collins stated he likes the project. Trustee Dement stated he was not interested in the project.
Trustee Fay had no comment. Trustee Waldorf stated he likes the way it looks and it meets his
expectations.
Trustee Collins moved to direct the Village Attorney to draft an Ordinance to rezone 26.52 acres
from B-3 (Community Shopping Center) District, to R-3 (Moderate Density Single-Family Attached
Residence) District. Seconded by Trustee Waldorf. Vote by roll call. Dement, no; Thomson, no;
Fay, no; Waldorf, yes; Collins, yes; O'Connell, no. 2 yes, 4 no. Motion failed.

facilities in all zoning districts except Office, Research, and Light Industrial (ORI) and General (I)

and give all existing non-conforming users one (1) year to come into compliance with the
amendment. This was recommended unanimously by the Plan Commission.

storage facilities to the ORI (Office, Research, and Light Industrial) District and I (General

#12 PRAIRIE CREEK DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Testin stated the applicant is seeking to develop approximately 103 acres of vacant property into
a commercial and multi-family project. The subject site is located on Route 59 just north of the
Chicago Bridge and Iron corporate campus and west of the DuPage River. The applicant is also
seeking to rezone the property from ORI to B-3 (Community Shopping Center) and R-4 (Multi-
family residence district) and a Special Use for a Planned Unit Development as well as approval for
the concept plan. The applicant has submitted a concept plan for a retail/commercial project that
would be located on approximately 29 acres of property adjacent to Route 59. The applicant is also
proposing cross access to the future Meijer's site to the north.
Mr. Paul Mitchell, attorney for the applicant, stated that they have gone through two public hearings
before the Plan Commission. One for the rezoning and one for the PUD and both were approved.
Mr. Mitchell then presented the concept plan to the Board. Mr. Mitchell pointed out that they have
talked with Dr. Harper and he indicated support and Ms. Kelly and Greg Bott are in the audience to
support the bike trail in this proposal.
Trustee Fay asked if the developer would consider any portion of the open space to have public
access. Trustee Fay stated he would like to some additional access in to the prairie restoration area.
Mr. Mitchell stated that the bike trail would go through there giving the public access. Ms. Kelly,
President of the Park Board, reviewed the bike trails. Trustee Dement asked if this development was
just going to be a start of multi-family in this area. Mr. Testin responded that this area is fairly
limited; we would not expect it to extend. Trustee Dement indicated he wanted the buildings to be
brick. Trustee Dement also expressed concern regarding parking, landscaping, and density. The
applicant responded that all parking would be underground and the landscaping will be above and
beyond Village ordinances. Trustee Thomson stated he like the plan especially with the commercial
aspect in front and the gated community in the back. Trustee Collins stated that there are too many
units. Mayor pro tern O'Connell asked when the applicant will know for sure whether the site will
contain condominiums or townhomes. The applicant indicated they would know by the time of
preliminary plat.
Administrator Burghard pointed out that this is just a concept phase, the applicant will have to come
back before the Board for final plat and site plan approval.
Trustee Dement stated that the Board was at a disadvantage not knowing what they are approving.
Trustee Fay stated he could support the rezoning and special use, but would need to see more on the
concept plan.
