Trustee Racich expressed concern regarding dust and dirt going in to the neighboring subdivision and that the neighbors do not want a gas station. He also expressed concern regarding
the future development and thought that the item should be brought back to the Board at a later date. Trustee Peck questioned if the applicant is required to make improvements to 119th
Street. Mr. Garrigan stated that the annexation agreement identifies improvements as well as right-of-way dedication. Trustee Lamb stated that the gas station is 10-15 years away. B-1
zoning makes senses and so does annexing the property. The property needs to be developed wisely and this is a step in the right direction.
Village of Plainfield Meeting Minutes – October 1, 2012 Page 4 of 7 Trustee Bonuchi stated that she is not concerned with annexing the property, but she is concerned regarding the special
use that may happen 10 years from now. She expressed concern with approving a special use without having any plans. Mr. Mike Martin, attorney for the applicant, pointed out that there
aren’t any gas stations on Route 30, and that a gas station can develop on well and septic, but they prefer sewer and water. Mr. Martin pointed out that the site is for a future gas
station and the Board will have full control over the site plan requirements that will be in effect at the time of development. Mr. Martin stated that this is a perfect place for a gas
station and is not in anyone’s backyard but the Sabadosh property. Trustee Lamb asked if the special use would be required at this time. Mr. Garrigan stated that the applicant needs
the special use so that they can market the property to gas stations. Trustee Fay expressed concern regarding approving a drive thru without knowing the specific user. Vote by roll call.

to order at 7:19 p.m. Present roll call stands. Mr. Michael Garrigan stated that the applicant is seeking to annex approximately 234 acres that is currently located in Will County and
is contiguous to the Village. They are also seeking to rezone the subject property to I-1 (Light Industrial) Planned Development. The subject site is currently being farmed and is bordered
by Route 30 on the west, the Canadian National Railroad on the east, 111th on the north and Route 30 on the south. The applicant is seeking a diversity of uses within the site and is
requesting some flexibility in any future land plan. Mr. Garrigan pointed out that the applicant will need to come back to the Board to get approval on any future site plan. Mr. Bruce
Goldsmith, attorney for the applicant stated that the applicant is the land owner and not a developer. They are working with a company to help market the property, but do not have any
users at this time. Trustee Fay suggested that the applicant talk to Canadian National about the potential for rail use opportunities. Trustee Racich stated that will not support the
waiver of school and park fees. The applicant agreed to remove that request from the annexation agreement. Trustee Lamb stated that the Comprehensive Plan Update Committee feels that
the property should be annexed and that the proposal for flexibility is the way to go at this time. Trustee Peck expressed concern regarding the waiver of impact fees. Mr. Gold stated
that the waiver of the impact fees makes this property attractive to potential developers and is also consistent with current Village policy. There were no public comments.
