Chairman Sobkoviak said that he has seen this in three different locations, and it is only a matter of time before this starts showing up in backyards. Chairman Sobkoviak noticed a comment on page two that reads “… or recyclable materials on a temporary basis”. He aside if this could be changed to permanent. Mr. Kersh said that it could. Chairman Sobkoviak also said that he wanted to put “teeth” in this and asked what they should do about those who already have these facilities there. H e suggested that any present non -conforming parties be given one year to remove the facility off the property. Commissioner Henry agreed with this suggestion. Chairman Sobkoviak said that this giv es the person a change to build a structure for storage. Commissioner Manning liked the idea. Commissioner Racich agreed and said that this was unsightly. 3
At 7:20pm, Commissioner Kachel arrived and was briefly filled in on the case. Commissioner Kachel thought that the Chairman’s suggestion was fair. Chairman Sobkoviak asked how they would handle construction. Mr. Garrigan said that this is built into the agreement to allow a temporary structure. Commissioner Kachel worried about large subdivisions where general contractors would be using these facilities for extended periods of time. Commissioner Schinderle asked how the use of a dumpster is set in place for remodeling. Mr. Garrigan said that this was never really covered. Commissioner Schinderl e asked if they should worry about this. Mr. Garrigan said that they have never had a complaint regarding rehabilitation work. Chairman Sobkoviak pointed out that you pay for these by the day, so you want to remove it as soon as possible. Commissioner Racich said that the abuse could grow rampant and did not want these in residential areas. A brief discussion ensued regarding the use for living quarters in other areas. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. None was offered. Mr. Kersh asked the commission how they felt about the definition of an “outside storage facility”.

Ms. Sheetz read the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in the petitioner – Jerry Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar had no additions to the report. He agreed with the letter submitted. He wants to help dress up the corner and plans to use the existing building as the office. A discu ssion ensued regarding the plantings proposed. Ms. Sheetz wanted to take the widening of 143 rd Street into consideration. Commissioner Kachel asked about recommending fencing with evergreen and/or ivy plantings. Commissioner Racich said that any use o f the property would be a benefit. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if they had a preference in greenery. A discussion ensued regarding ivy versus evergreen and the timing of it. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if they should leave this up to Ms. Sheetz. Ms. Sheetz s aid that she will make a recommendation to the county. A discussion regarding the trucks and machines to be used at the facility ensued. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if any of the commissioners had issues with the stipulations presented. There were none. C hairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. None was offered. Commissioner Kachel commented regarding the fencing issue that if you look at an example of an undulating berm on Boughton Road in Bolingbrook, the fencing looks better behind th e berm. At 7:39pm , Commissioner Manning moved to recommend forwarding a letter of no objection to Will County regarding the applicant’s request for a special use of 2 ½ acres on the corner of 143 rd and Route 59 encouraging the County consider the followin g: 1. Any outdoor storage such as material storage must be screened and contained. 2. Utilize planted materials to the extent possible to serve as screening. 3.

CASE NO.: 1 113 -0 31904 .AA ROUSONELOS PROCESSING PLANT Request: Annexation Agreement (Public Hearing) Location: Northwest corner of Steiner Road and 143 rd Street Applicant: Heartland , L .L .C . Started: 7:41 pm Mr. Garrigan announced that this is a pub lic hearing being held in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the Village of Plainfield and the State of Illinois. He presented the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the main concern was for buffering. Mr. Garrigan said that the potential need can be addressed, but they need to figure out when the buffering should kick in. The requirement is for 40 to 20 feet be landscaped. Commissioner Kachel asked if they allow a metail building in B -3 zoning. Chairman Sobkoviak pointed out that this was the case along US -30. Commissioner Manning asked when they would be required to comply with zoning requirements – at the time of rezoning? Mr. Garrigan said that he is not sure yet and deferred to the applicant. Chairman Sobkoviak swor e in the petitioner, Bruce Goldsmith – an attorney representing Heartland. Mr. Goldsmith said that they were approached for annexation due to road plans. They were not originally going to be annexed, but with the current plans, his client is willing to h elp preserve the land and property use. Regarding the timing issue, they were happy to be in the county , but they want to work with the Village. Re -development of the site would require buffering, but his client feels that the current use is okay as is. Commissioner Kachel asked if the Village is requesting this. They are. He agreed that the petitioner should not have to buffer as the site is being used now. However, down the road, they need to address this during transfer of ownership. The Village s hould put the trees up if they want them. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there is sufficient room for a 40 foot area on four sides. Mr. Goldsmith said that there is a proposed right of way and housing unit on the west side. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if ther e is sufficient property to accommodate a buffering zone. Mr. Goldsmith said that to the north and west is a field. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there is sufficient land if this comes up in the future. Commissioner Gehrke asked if the neighboring subdivi sion has a berm or buffer. Mr. Garrigan said that there is no concept plan for this yet. 6
Commissioner Henry said that if sizable buffering is in place, this is okay. However, if they are at that now there is a problem. Mr. Garrigan said that there is s ufficient room to the North and to the east is Steiner Road. The concern is to the west. Commissioner Schinderle said that if the existing processing plant stays and residential areas surround it, which is responsible for the buffering. Mr. Garrigan sai d that there are different alternatives – they may require the subdivisions to be responsible. Commissioner Kachel said that they are setting a precedent. Once ownership is transferred, they have to be able to work with the property. Commissioner Mannin g said that buffering in commercial zones is well set. Mr. Garrigan said that he wanted to make the commission aware that if this remains as it is, residential areas will surround it. Mr. Goldsmith said that to the west and the north, they have adequate room to buffer. If they are annexed, they will follow the B -3 zoning ordinances. (At 8:04pm, the Village Engineer arrived) Chairman Sobkoviak said that they are annexing something that is already there. A discussion ensued regarding setting a precedent on look and use. Commissioner Henry asked if the permitted uses are normal in B -3 zoning. Mr. Garrigan said that they are common for ORI or industrial. Commissioner Henry asked why this is not ORI. Mr. Garrigan said that this area was determined to be commercial. He also said that any successor of the property can interpret the uses. Commissioner Kachel wanted a “trigger” to prevent the change of use during transfer of ownership. Commissioner Manning said that they are trying to convince the applica nt to agree to this. Chairman Sobkoviak asked what they required of the businesses along US -30. Mr. Garrigan and Chairman Sobkoviak both did not think anything was required of them. Commissioner Manning asked when the annexation would occur. Mr. Garrig an said that the pre -annexation may be approved as early as May, and the annexation would follow. Commissioner Manning asked what would happen if the applicant does not apply. Mr. Garrigan said that they could, but they do not have to. Mr. Goldsmith sai d that they have no plans to request annexation. Chairman Sobkoviak said that this protects them so they can continue as they are. They will help the Village extend the roadways and this may help them increase the value of the property. 7
Commissioner Kac hel reiterated that he wants a trigger saying that a new owner should not use as a processing facility. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was support for this. There was no response. Commissioner Henry said that theoretically, if the current facility is used as cartage and they pour asphalt on the property, would that trigger something. Mr. Garrigan said that he did not know. Chairman Sobkoviak gave an example of a cartage plant on Renwick that they annexed around. Commissioner Henry said that he felt that they were giving in to an unknown. Commissioner Schinderle asked if this is currently zoned A -1. It is. He asked if any of the eight uses are put into effect, if this would need to be rezoned. Mr. Garrigan said yes – after annexation, they can re zone this to B -3 at which point the owner of the facility would have to follow buffer requirements. Commissioner Manning asked about the timing on stipulation 3. Mr. Garrigan said that there is a possibility that the current use will continue with the su rrounding areas being residential. The stipulation was revised to read “at the time that the applicant seeks to petition for annexation into the Village of Plainfield”. Commissioner Kachel asked what the buffering requirements are for B -3 zoning. Mr. Ga rrigan said that the minimum is 40 feet with a 20 foot landscape buffer. A discussion ensued regarding some current cases. Mr. Goldsmith said that he is not trying to get the sympathy vote, but they were happy in the county and are just trying to help ou t the Village. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for commission or public comment. None was given. Chairman Sobkoviak asked for any additional discussion between the commissioners. Commissioner Kachel asked if the staff was agreeable to this. M r. Garrigan said that they can discuss this during annexation. A discussion ensued regarding the pre -annexation agreement being binding. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the property will be so valuable, they will have plenty of offers. At 8 :28 pm, Commissio ner Manning moved to recommend approval to the Village Board of the proposed pre -annexation agreement and the annexation of the subject site subject to the following stipulations: 1. Compliance with the recommendations of the Village Engineer. 8
2. Compliance with the recommendations of the Plainfield Fire Protection District. 3. That at the time that the applicant seeks petition for annexation into the Village of Plainfield, the applicant incorporate the required landscape buffering as outlined in Village ordinance a nd that a preliminary landscape buffering plan be submitted for staff’s review prior to annexation of the subject site. Commissioner Gehrke seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Gehrke , Manning, Shinderle, Racich , Sobkoviak Nay: Kachel, Henry The motion is carried 5:2 . Commissioner Kachel reiterated his objection being due to there being no trigger for site plan and use. This case will go forward probably the first meeting in May At 8:30pm, a 10 -minute recess was called . The meeting re -adjourned at 8:39pm CASE NO.: 1 083 -120203 .FP STREAMS OF PLAINFIELD -UNIT #3 Request: Final Plat Location: South of Fraser Road and West of Rt. 59 Applicant: Lakeland Homes Started: 8 :39 pm Ms. Sheetz read the Staff report. Chai rman Sobkoviak asked which stipulation was a problem. Ms. Sheetz said that stipulation #4 requires a 10 foot bike path, but the mailboxes and trees may be a problem. Commissioner Kachel was worried that other subdivisions will conform to this precedent. Ms. Sheetz suggested just adding “if feasible” to the end of the stipulation. Commissioner Manning asked who has the responsibility for extending Deer Path. Ms. Sheetz said that it is for the property owner on the east side, so it is his responsibility. Commissioner Henry asked what the triangular property was along Fraser Road. Chairman Sobkoviak asked him to wait for the petitioner. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in the group of petitioners – Patrick Brankan (attorney), Dan Malanowski, and John Defner. M r. Brankan thanked the staff for working with them. He said that the client is fine with making Deer Creek Court a cul -de -sac and has no 9
objection to the stub street. He felt it was more aesthetically pleasing. Chairman Sobkoviak said that along the mar keting end, he understands. However, stub streets are a major concern and he appreciated the cooperation. Commissioner Manning asked if the extension of Deer Path is a private road. Ms. Sheetz said no, they want it to be a public road. Mr. Brankan sa id that the property owner requested access. Commissioner Manning said that he thought the road would dead end at the property. Ms. Sheetz said that they did not want it to cul -de -sac on this property. Commissioner Kachel did not like the idea of two cu l -de -sacs. Commissioner Manning asked if there was only one home there now. Chairman Sobkoviak said yes, but that could change. Chairman Sobkoviak asked for any additional comments. Commissioner Kachel felt that the 10 foot bike path should go through. Ten feet is called for everywhere else and thought it should stay that way. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the Park District is happy with a Splash Park. The Park District representative said that they are very happy with this and are working with the pet itioner on it. It is not a pool, but people can sit around and/or have a picnic with an aquatic aspect. Chairman Sobkoviak asked him to describe some of the features. The Park District representative said that there are spray features, a spout umbrella and crayons, and water cannons. Commissioner Kachel said that he liked this. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the engineer had any concerns. The Village Engineer said that there is nothing serious. They are still in discussions with the Design Engineer, but nothing is hindering the progress of the project. Mr. Brankan said that the section of bike path that they are discussing is not on the developer’s property. They want to extend it, but they are trying to decide where the right of way is. They are comm itted to the bike path network, but they do not want to be set up for failure. Commissioner Kachel asked what the Park District knew about this. The Park District representative said that he did not where this was at. Ms. Sheetz showed where the bike pa th is at and how it affects the plan. The applicant also showed pictures of this area. Commissioner Schinderle asked if the developer owned the property. Ms. Sheetz said no, but the developer was making the connection. Mr. Brankan reiterated that they are committed to doing it. 10
Chairman Sobkoviak went over the stipulations and asked if there was a problem with stipulation 5. Mr. Brankan said that they did commit to doing this inside the existing right of way. Commissioner Henry asked what the triangu lar property was on the site plan. Mr. Brankan said that this was storm water detention. Commissioner Kachel asked about fencing – if it was inside or outside the landscaping. Mr. Brankan said that no fencing is proposed. Ms. Sheetz said that fencing i s not allowed in a landscape easement. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. None was offered. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any additional concerns. There was no response. At 9:03 pm, Commissioner Schinderle moved to reco mmend approval of the final plat for The Streams of Plainfield, Unit 3 Subdivision subject to the following stipulations: 1. Compliance with the Village Engineer. 2. Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection District. 3. Modification of cul -de -sac on Deer Creek Court to reflect a straight stub street. 4. Installation of 10’ bike path along the south side of Fraser Road, if feasible. 5. Connection of the Fraser Road bike path from Unit 3 to Unit 2. 6. Payment of recapture liability. Commissioner Mann ing seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Henry, Kachel, Gehrke, Manning, Schinderle, Racich , Sobkoviak Nay: None The motion is carried 7 :0. The applicant was encouraged to be in touch with staff regarding the Vill age agenda. CASE NO.: 1103 -021804.F P CANTERBURY WOODS Request: Final Plat Location: North of 127 th Street and Southwest of Heritage Oaks Applicant: Pulte Homes Corporation Started: 9:05 pm Ms. Sheetz read the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak asked a quick question regarding the adjustment to the 75 foot buffer. Ms. Sheetz believed it is a common area, maybe 40 feet before the lot line. 11
Chairman Sobkoviak swore in John Phillipchuck, a representative for Pulte Homes. Mr. Phillipchuck said that they acquired this later and are working through the issues. They do have the wetland delineation and will meet to talk about the buffering areas. They were originally working out the street alignment with the Engineer at the final plat. They want to achieve the desired amenities . Regarding the buffer area along the church site, this was originally 10 feet along their lot and 20 feet along the church’s lot. Exhibit E on the annexation agreement shows this. They have no problem sharing the maintenance costs but are worried about the impact of an extra 10 feet on the lots along the buffer. Chairman Sobkoviak asked the petitioner t point out where the 75 feet is in question. The Petitioner Engineer pointed this out on a diagram and said they wanted to reduce this requirement to allow for a bike path. Chairman Sobkoviak asked what the purpose of a wetland buffer was. The Petitioner Engineer said that it is to protect the areas, but a trail area would be part asphalt and part grass. They can work with Staff on this. Commissioner Henry asked if what is shown presumes 75 feet. The Petitioner Engineer said no – it is shown as 55 feet as agreed with the design consultant during Special Use for a PUD. Ms. Sheetz said that no official variance was given, so they can decide this. Commissioner Henry asked if the 75 foot buffer is required in case the wetland becomes “wet”. The Village Engineer said no – this is set up to protect the land. Ms. Sheetz said that they specified what variances they were suggesting. Mr. Phillipchuck said that this was designed based on the preliminary plat. A discussion ensued regarding the approval based on the drawing versus the wording. Mr. Phillipchuck said that they still can protect the land along the bike path from polluting elements as they will not be building a structure there. Commissioner Henry asked if 75 feet is standard. The Village Engineer said that 75 feet is on the large side. He did not know the minimum, but Shorewood requires 25 feet. Chairman Sobkoviak point ed out that it is significant that Mr. Linden gave his approval on this. Commissioner Henry asked if there are other items in the 8 outstanding that the applicant has a problem with. Mr. Phillipchuck said that there is still the church berm issue but fee ls that they can work this out. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if they were pleading hardship. Mr. Phillipchuck said that it limits what people can do in the rear yard if there is a landscape easement. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the commission or staff had a ny thoughts on this. 12
Ms. Sheetz said that she reviewed the annexation and preliminary plat. On the preliminary plat, the 20 foot landscape easement is a condition for approval. The Petitioner Engineer said that Staff’s concern was to create a buffer. T he original position was that it was the church’s obligation. The compromise was to work with and share this easement with the church. They thought this was a proactive approach and are giving the easement a 10 foot undulating berm. Chairman Sobkoviak a sked if this was on the preliminary plat. Ms. Sheetz said that it showed a 10 foot easement on Canterbury Woods. Commissioner Henry said that the church is the harshest use and should carry the burden. Chairman Sobkoviak asked why they wanted to buffe r a church. Commissioner Henry said that this was most likely for the cars. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was consensus on giving most of the responsibility to the church. Mr. Phillipchuck said that they will bring a written agreement with the churc h before going to the Board. Ms. Sheetz said that they are being proactive with possible concerns with future residents. Commissioner Racich asked if the church has proposed a development plan. Ms. Sheetz said that they are waiting on an annexation agre ement. Commissioner Racich asked if this has changed drastically. The Petitioner Engineer said that there are some modifications to the Preliminary Plat, but it is almost identical. Commissioner Racich asked about the quality of the homes. Tim Bonavill e of Pulte Homes said that they would be building houses similar to those in the book he passed out to the commissioners, and all of the houses would be built by Pulte. Commissioner Kachel aside if the ponds will be aerated. Mr. Bonaville said that they can address this if there is a need. Chairman Sobkoviak asked them to refocus on the church buffer. Commissioner Racich asked if they have had contact with the church. They had. Commissioner Racich asked if there were amenable to this. Ms. Sheetz sa id that she did not know if the church is aware of what the size of the easement is on the Canterbury Woods side. They just know that that theirs should be 20 feet. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if they can agree to this. There was some confusion regarding t he preliminary plat saying 10 feet but a condition for approval being 20 feet. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was agreement as to the 10 foot church buffer. There was. Chairman Sobkoviak went over the outstanding items in the staff report: 13
