PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORT:
The Board voted to approve the Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Public Hearing was
held for the Annexation for Sohol for the 44 acre piece and the 80 acre piece, when contiguous.
The Special Use for Kozuh was approved. The School site location plan was approved. Starting a
new list for Text Amendments for the Zoning Ordinance. Such as a Business Transition and Historic
District.
CASE NO. 503-090695.AA
Planner Durbin summarized his report as follows, the subjects of this public hearing are two
properties owned by R.L. Sohol. The approximately 80 acre parcel located at the southeast corner
of 127th Street and Heggs Road is under consideration for annexation to the Village as proposed by
a pre-annexation agreement submitted by the applicant. Accordingly, the Plan Commission is
charged with consideration of the annexation and zoning of this parcel. The approximately 44 acre
parcel is proposed for development as a well and septic subdivision subject to Will County
regulations. The property is within one and a half miles of the Village boundaries and is therefore
subject to Village consideration. The Plan Commission has reviewed this proposal previously due
to the applicants county rezoning application. The county approved the rezoning (the Village did
not object to the rezoning due to previous discussions) and the applicants are currently seeking
preliminary plat approval from the county and the, Village.
As you may recall, the pre-annexation agreement was prompted by the applicant's current desire to
develop the 44 acre property at the southwest corner of 127th Street and Heggs Road. The 44 acre
property is not contiguous to Village boundaries and the applicant desires to develop the 44 acre
property as a well and septic development subject to county regulations.
The 44 acre current development proposal is subject to Village consideration, per Illinois State
Statutes, because it is within one and one-half miles of the current Village boundary. In order for
the final plat of subdivision to be recorded, Village approval is necessary.

In October 1992 the Village of Plainfield entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Will
County which was intended to address problems related to land use planning, agricultural
preservation, compact and contiguous growth, and development management and coordination. In
article 3 of the agreement which addresses compact and contiguous growth (defined as those areas
within the facility planning area of the Village which are economically feasible for extension and
connecting of Village Sanitary sewer and water yyytenne and are capable of annexation), the Village
and County agreed to encourage phased development which proceeds outward from existing
developed communities in a logical and orderly fashion. The current development proposal does
not meet the definition of compact and contiguous growth and based on this agreement, both the
Village and Will County should not approve this development.
At the previous Plan COnnrnipsiOn discussion relative tothe 44 acre prnp8rhy, the Plan Commission
supported the intergovernmental agreement and recommended that the Village Board object tothe
rezoning request.
During discussions atthe following Village Board meeting, the Board agreed thatthe current 44 acre
development proposal should be considered compact and contiguous to the Wheatland Plains
subdivision. The proposed development will beofthe same character asWheatland Plains and
provides a logical conclusion for the Wheatland Plains subdivision. There was concern, however,
with allowing acounty subdivision within the Plainfield Planning area that could set e precedent for
further development. The discussions regarding this proposal indicated support for the development
in that it would "finish" Wheatland Plains.
The applicant indicated that he also owned an OO acre property On the southeast corner Of127th
Street and Heggs Road. The appIicant does not have any immediate development plans for the 80
acre property. |tioinnpodantto otethat the 80 acre property is the subject of the pre-annexation
agreement.
The Village Board agreed that entering into a pre-annexation agreement for the 80 acre property will
help prevent further development of well and septic subdivisions within the Plainfield Facility
Planning area. While the Board noted that the conclusion of Wheatland Plains consistent with the
existing development would be appropriate, they agreed that property within the Plainfield Facility
Planning area should have water and 5evve[ 58n/ice to be in conformance with M|PC'y area-wide
water quality management plan. Thus, the pre-annexation agreement for the OO acre property would
help to prevent development of additional well and septic subdivisions within the planning area.
The above summary of the case history should help clarify why the Village Board did not object to
the rezoning request and is considering entering into e pro-annexation agreement for the 80 acne
property. It is also important to note that the current development proposal (the preliminary plat)
io for the 44 acre property which was not proposed for annexation. The Village Board however, on
October 2, 1995, agreed that the 44 acre property should be included un the present agreement and
the applicant agreed.

Per Village Ordinances establishing the Plan Commission, the Plan Commission is charged with the
responsibility of reviewing proposed annexations to determine whether the annexation is a logical
extension of the Village and to determine the appropriate zoning for the property. The Plan
Commission is also charged with the responsibility of the first review of preliminary plats and shall
make recommendations to the Village Board regarding the preliminary plat and issues associated
with the plat. Accordingly, the Plan commission should focus on three issues in this case:
Does the annexation of the 80 and /or the 44 acre parcel represent a logical extension of the
Village?
2. If so, what is the appropriate zoning?
What are the issues and concerns, if any, associated with the preliminary plat for the 44 acre
property?
ANNEXATION:
The discussion above clearly indicates that the 80 acre parcel is a logical extension of the Village
limits. While the Village may not currently be contiguous with this parcel, it is clear that the Village
limits are continuing to move north and west. It should also be noted that this property is within
the Village of Plainfield planning area which indicates the Village's interest in annexation of this
area. The same considerations apply to the 44 acre property.
ZONING:
Both the 1988 Comprehensive Plan and the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan indicate residential land
uses in this area. Staff concurs with the land uses suggested by the plan and recommends residential
land uses for both parcels. In terms of the zoning for the 80 acre property, staff would recommend
residential development consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted at the
time of application for development. This general recommendation is proposed in consideration of
the Plan's recommendation that the Zoning Ordinance be revised to better implement the Plan. It
is also in consideration of the fact that it may be some time before the 80 acre property actually
develops.
The preliminary plat provides 40 single family lots on the 44 acre parcel. The lots range from .69
acres (30,050 square feet) to 1.45 acres (63,160 square feet). The average lot size is .92 acres.
The minimum lot size is 30,000 square feet to comply with county septic requirements. Stormwater
management is provided for on detention easements along with drainage easements.
Access is provided via a dedicated public street to 127th Street and connections are provided to
existing stubbed streets at both 129th and 131 st Streets in Wheatland Plains. No access is provided
for Heggs Road. The applicant is aware of concerns with the WIKADUKE Trail and has addressed
these concerns in the pre- annexation agreement by agreeing to provide upon final plat an easement
for highway and /or utility purposes 60 feet from the centerline of Heggs Road upon both the 44 acre
and the 80 acre properties.

The Village Engineer has reviewed the preliminary plat and confirmed that it generally conforms to
Village standards. Staff has identified no major concerns associated with the preliminary plat other
than the issues discussed above.
FINDINGS:
Staff recommends that the Plan Commission concur with the following findings:
1. The 80 acre parcel is a logical extension of the Village limits.
2. The appropriate zoning for the 80 acre parcel should allow for residential development
consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted at the time of application
for development.
3. The preliminary plat generally conforms to Village standards, is a logical conclusion of and is
consistent in character with Wheatland Plains, and the Village should not object to the Will
County application for preliminary plat.
Staff also suggested that the Plan Commission add the 44 acre property to both the first and second
holdings.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Plan Commission forward a recommendation to the Village Board as
follows:
1. Recommend annexation of both the 80 and the 44 acre parcel.
2. Recommend zoning for the 80 and the 44 acre parcel that would allow for residential
development consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted
at the time of application for development.
3. Recommend that the Village Board forward a letter of no objection to the Will
County Land Use Department in regard to the preliminary plat for the 44 acre parcel.
R. L. Soho[, was present.
J. Djerf, Hamilton Engineering found no objection to the Preliminary Plat.

Manning, yes; A. Anderson, yes; Chairman Sobkoviak, yes. Motion carried. 4 yes 0 no.
CASE NO. 495- 071295.SPR
Planner Waldock summarized the staff report as follows: the Pioneer Lanes Family Bowling Center
has passed numerous reviews and discussions at Staff level, Planning Commission level, and Village
Board levels. The Planning Commission approved the Special Use Permit and Conceptual Site Plan
at their meeting of July 18, 1995. The President and Board of Trustees approved the Annexation
Agreement Amendment, Special Use Permit and Conceptual Site Plan at their meeting of August 7,
1995. It is anticipated that Ordinances approving the Annexation Agreement annexing the site,
approving the Special Use Permit and establishing -Zoning will be completed at the Board meeting
scheduled for October 16, 1995. This time frame will fit well with the formal Site Plan Approval
at that level, as well.
The Site Plan presented with this report is the final evolution of the preliminary plans submitted and
discussed as part of the ongoing Pioneer Lanes Development.
SITE PLAN REVIEW:
The applicants had submitted preliminary site plan review information to allow the Village to
consider site plan issues while considering the annexation agreement and special use permit. This
information was helpful in considering the annexation agreement and special use permit, however,
the materials submitted were not adequate to complete the formal Site Plan Review process. The
applicants have now submitted proper information to complete the formal Site Plan Review process.
The formal submittals do not significantly differ from the preliminary submittals, however, they do
provide additional information.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 3, 1995

The Village Engineer had conducted a preliminary review of the site plan at the time of preliminary
discussions and had identified some minor concerns. The Village Engineer has discussed these
concerns with the applicants engineer who addressed these issues. The Village Engineer will present
his review of the revised plans at the Plan Commission meeting.
The following is a detailed summary analysis of the Formal Site Plan Proposal:
PARKING AND DRIVE AREAS:
The proposed facility will be composed of a 2,500 square foot lounge, a 2,500 square foot arcade,
and 24 bowling lanes with capacity provided for up to 32 lanes in the first phase. The building will
be approximately 25,000 square feet total.
The bowling lanes will generate 4.36 parking spaces per lane (per ITE parking generation
manual). Staff would recommend that the Village Board approve the parking requirements
based upon this figure per the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as Bowling Centers are not
specifically provided for in the ordinance.
The lounge, classified as a drinking or eating establishment under the Zoning Ordinance, will
require 10 parking spaces per each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
The arcade, classified as an amusement establishment under the Zoning Ordinance, will require
10 parking spaces per each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
Based upon these figures, the development will require 140 parking spaces for 32 lanes, 25 spaces
for the lounge, and 25 spaces for the arcade. A total of 190 parking spaces will therefor be required
by the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan provides 190 parking spaces and is
therefor in compliance with the parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The plan provides 6 handicap parking spaces which is less than the 10 that are required (one
handicap space per each 20 spaces per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Illinois
Accessibility Act). Accordingly, four additional handicap parking spaces should be provided.
VEHICULAR ACCESS:
The preliminary site plan proposed dedication of Arbor Drive as a public street. Arbor Drive is now
proposed to be constructed (per Village street standards) as a private road per recent discussions with
IDOT. IDOT was concerned with curb cut considerations and deceleration lanes. To address the
concerns, the applicant will develop Arbor Drive as a private road that will be dedicated to the
Village with future development. The annexation agreement has been revised such that any future
development will trigger dedication of the road as well as deceleration lanes. This may be at Joliet
Road or at Renwick Road depending on the status of the Route 30 rerouting issue. The resolution
of the Route 30 rerouting issue will also trigger deceleration lanes if Rt. 30 does not get rerouted.
ARCHITECTURE:
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 3, 1995
Page 7
The Site Plan Review Ordinance requires that exterior building facades be constructed with no less
than 25% masonry unless specifically approved by the Village Board. Architectural glass, clapboard,
wood shingle siding, and other architectural facade treatments may be considered as alternatives to
masonry.
The attached elevations provide view of the architectural design proposed for the bowling center.
The building is proposed to be clad with a Dryvit system which is a type of synthetic stucco. The
wall elevations are detailed with horizontal banding and color variation. This type of architectural
expression should be interpreted as in compliance with the Site Plan Review Ordinance. However,
the elevations suggest substantial exposed steel siding at the sides and rear of the building. Over
fifty percent (50 %) of the side wall facing Joliet Road is shown as plain metal siding. The entire rear
wall is a plain metal siding, and the west wall adjoining the future expansion area is also entirely
plain metal siding. Staff feels it is important to extend the architectural stucco facade along the entire
east building wall facing Joliet Road. The plain metal siding to the rear of the building is screened
by substantial vegetation along the north property line. Therefore, this wall will not be exposed
substantially to traffic or adjoining property. For this reason, this wall with plain metal siding may
be satisfactory. Staff feels that the west wall adjoining the future expansion area should be provided
with upgraded architectural treatments. Although it is recognized that this area will be replaced in
the future with the extension of the building, the building expansion may not occur for several years.
Therefore, architectural treatment to the metal siding to increase the interest along this facade line
is important. Architectural treatments could include the stucco treatment extended along this
building wall or may include architectural metal treatments to enhance the aesthetics of this wall
facade.
STORMWATER DETENTION:
The Site Plan still shows an interim stormwater retention area as proposed by the preliminary site
plan. The applicant proposes to provide this area for the current development proposal, however,
as the remainder of the property develops, the retention area will be relocated or re -sized as
required. The Village Engineer will provide a report regarding compliance with Village standards
at the Plan Commission meeting.
LANDSCAPING:
The Site Plan Review Ordinance establishes the standards for required landscaping as follows:
A. All areas of the site not to be improved with structures, pavement, or other landscaping shall
be improved with grass sod or seed.
B. The applicant shall minimally provide one approved planting for each 725 square feet of gross
lot area.
C. All commercial sites shall be buffered from adjacent residential uses through the use of
landscape berms, plantings, and /or fencing. .
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 3, 1995
Page 8
The Zoning Ordinance requires a 40 foot bufferyard with a minimum 20 foot landscape area for all
commercial B -3 sites adjacent to residential districts. The required landscaped area shall be grass
covered and densely planted with shrubs and trees to buffer adjacent land uses by providing a year
round visual screen in accordance with the Site Plan Review Ordinance. A fence may be required
in cases where the Village Board finds landscaping alone is insufficient to protect the health, safety,
and welfare of adjacent landowners or occupants.
The Pioneer Lanes site plan provides a buffer yard and landscape area along the west property line.
The planned berm has been constructed with the initial site grading. The landscape plan provides
for shade trees throughout the parking lot in landscape islands. Perimeter areas have also now been
provided with shade tree plants as well as smaller species of landscape materials.
The plan provides for 338 plantings throughout the developed area. Some of these plant materials
are individually counted but are portions of hedge rows or are low growing ground covered type
materials. Forty -five (45) of the plant materials are day lilies, for example. In calculating the net
developed area for this site, we have used a five (5) acre site area. This includes the Bowling Center
and associated parking areas but excludes future development areas. At this size of site, 300
approved plant materials are required.
While staff can not count each of the forty-five (45) day lilies as an approved plant, but grouped
together they do have merit and should count for portions of the required plantings. In looking to
the future area available for development that is being served by the proposed landscape plan, staff
believes that there is sufficient plant materials provided at this time to satisfy ordinance requirements.
Additional landscape plantings will be provided at the time of future development as the bowling
alley expands or as additional buildings are constructed on the five (5) acre site. Significant
landscape concentration has been focused on each of the berm locations. That would focus
landscape materials along the west property line shared with the adjoining residents of Plainfield
Acres and the berm line along Joliet Road to buffer and screen the rookery as well.
The only suggestion that staff would propose is provision of a greater ratio of evergreen plantings
to provide year round screening on the berms, additional foundation plantings around the bowling
center, and plantings at the main entrance (coordinated with signage placement). Evergreen trees
are also required opposite the access constructed on Joliet Road. These trees are not counted as part
of the required landscaping but are provided to address concerns expressed by the Forest Preserve
District.
SIDEWALKS:
The plan provides a sidewalk along Joliet Road as provided in the Annexation Agreement. This
sidewalk, along with sidewalks along the access drive which may one day be converted to a public
street (Arbor Drive) appear to be satisfactory under current Village policies.
TRASH ENCLOSURES:
Trash enclosures are not shown on the site plan, however, the applicant has indicated that they will
be provided along the west side of the building. The facility will be serviced through the front
entrances, while trash will go out the west side of the building. The rear of the facility will only be
accessed for entry into the interior service alley to maintain or service the bowling lane equipment.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
October 3, 1995
Page 9
Trash enclosures must be provided prior to formal approval. Trash enclosure materials must provide
a 100 percent visual screen. It is suggested that the chosen materials be commensurate and
compatible with the architectural facade for the principal building.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:
According to the Site Plan Review Ordinance, exterior lighting shall be shaded, directed, or
otherwise designed so as to avoid glare onto neighboring residential properties. A manufacturers
specification sheet has been included which identifies the type of site lighting fixture that the
applicant proposes to use. This fixture meets the ninety degree cutoff style that staff has
recommended for other locations. This fixture style shades and directs light down onto the site
avoiding glare on adjacent properties. The locations of these fixtures have been provided and the
submittal of a glare study is pending. The lighting types appear acceptable. It is believed the glare
study will confirm that glare will not be an impact off premises.
SIGNAGE:
The applicant has indicated that wall signage will be used in conjunction with a ground mounted
sign at the corner of Arbor and Joliet Road. No major concerns are anticipated and formal review
will be handled through the sign permit process.
Throughout the discussions with the applicants regarding the bowling center proposal the Village
has expressed concerns related to the proximity to the Lake Renwick Heron Rookery. These concerns
have been shared by the Will County Forest Preserve as well as the applicants. Accordingly, staff
met with the applicants and the Will County Forest Preserve staff representatives to discuss
appropriate means to protect the Rookery while developing the subject site.
The concept plan that was supported by the Plan Commission and the Village Board was presented
to the Forest Preserve who agreed that the site planning effectively addressed many of their concerns.
Additional measures agreed upon included evergreen plantings upon Forest Preserve property across
from Arbor Drive as extended, construction of the berm along Route 30 first to screen the noise and
activity from the Rookery, provision of landscape plantings along the berm, provision of construction
fences to control construction debris, use of a site lighting system that would be unobtrusive to the
Rookery, and timing of the development to avoid disturbing the nesting season.
The site plan is consistent with these discussions and is supported by the Will County Forest Preserve
staff. The annexation agreement also addresses these concerns.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is currently in the process of completing their
review of the proposed plan . Staff anticipates a written response within the next week and
anticipates support of the Will County Forest Preserve position. IDNR staff has indicated that if the
stipulations of the Forest Preserve District are complied with and if formal site plan submittals are
consistent with the preliminary information, INDR will approve conclusion of the formal endangered
species consultation process.

COMMENTS:
Staffs review is indicated that the Pioneer Lanes Site Plan is in substantial compliance with the
provisions of the Annexation Agreement and Concept Plan approval. We believe it is, however,
necessary to expand upon the established facade for the east building wall and provide for
improvements to the west building wall as well. Generally, the landscape plan appears to be
sufficient as presented. Grading details and parking parameters are satisfactory. For these reasons,
staff finds no objection to approval, with stipulations of the Site Plan for Pioneer Lanes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan Review for Pioneer Lanes with the following stipulations:
Expand stucco and architectural facade treatments established on the front of the building along
the east side.
2. Provide architectural facade treatment along the west side of the building in the event that the
building is not expanded within a two year timeframe.
3. Provide trash enclosures that are of materials consistent with the main building facade.
4. Submit a completed glare study to confirm compliance with the standards of the Site Plan
Review Ordinance.
5. Comply with the requirements and planning concerns of the Village Engineer and Plainfield Fire
Protection District.
6. Construct Arbor Drive to. public street standards in order to accommodate future dedication of
that access drive.
7. Comply with the previously agreed upon recommendations of the Will County Forest Preserve
District.
J. Djerf, Village Engineer; summarized his report as follows. He needed more information regarding
stormwater and storm sewer calculations. IEPA sewer and water permits will be required.
J. Sobkoviak asked regarding item one, should the proposed 12" water main extend to Joliet Road.
J. Djerf said he felt there was a need for the water line along Rt. 30 in the long range planning of
the Village. The Plan Commission decided to add two stipulations.
8. There should be an agreement regarding extension of watermain to Joliet Road.
9. Move Arbor Drive sidewalk to the north side of the street.
Fire District wanted to know why there was a 12 inch main for this property, and why there is a
dead end, did not want a dead end, wanted a guarantee when the dead end would be completed.

J. Djerf, said there was a "Y" between Roberts and Getson, then a 12 inch line down through the
property in front of the property. The 12 inch was planned to facilitate the fire flow, per the August
2, 1995 letter, of which the Fire Department should have received a copy.
After discussion, W. Manning made a motion to recommend to the Village Board, the approval of
the request for Case No. 495- 071295.SPR. Including the seven stipulations of the Planner and the
two added by the Plan Commission. Seconded by L. Kachel. Roll call vote. L. Kachel, yes; W.
Manning yes; A. Anderson, yes; Chairman Sobkoviak, yes. Motion carried. 4 yes 0 no.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TRANSPORTATION PLAN:
Planner Waldock asked for an formal vote regarding the Comprehensive Plan and Transportation
Plan.
L. Kachel stated again that he wanted to know what were the Plans for the other communities.
Planner Waldock stated that the adjoining communities have been mailed copies of our plans, and
were asked to send copies back to us, none did.
Public Comments;
Claudia Kramer, gave County Maps and Wheatland Township Maps to the Planner. Asked that the
Commission not approve the Comprehensive Plan as it is. The Wheatland Township Plan Map
shows the area in question as Suburban Residential. The area she was concerned about is across
from Wolf Creek Industrial Park, she did not want the Comprehensive Plan to designate that area
as Industrial, Commercial and Estate. She felt that it should be single - family residential, as it was in
the 1988 Comprehensive Plan.
Planner Waldock stated that he felt that this Plan Map was appropriate, if a development concept
is presented, then we can discuss changes.
W. Manning asked if there is a formal application to change the Comprehensive Plan. Planner
Waldock stated, yes there is. When there is a application to change, we will use the SAVES program
to analyze the changes, and make an recommendation to the Plan Commission and Village Board.
This can all be done through an Annexation Agreement.
W. Manning feels there is a problem with the green circle, he felt that we were now up against
reality.
After discussion, W. Manning made a moti
Transportation Plan until the October 17, 1995
L. Kachel, yes; W. Manning, yes; A. Anderson,

Planner Durbin, said there was no problem with the setbacks. It was agreed by the Development
Committee felt the plan should go through this Site Plan Review process, because of its prominent
placement on the site, and because it is in the downtown Historic District. The Development
Committee felt that it is in the Communities interest to use an historic building. The Plan
Commission recommended a 4 ft. sidewalk on the driveway side of the building, with a curb to
protect the building, and the Plan Commission because of the Historic nature of the use, and the
historic area felt the Fire District should work with the artists rendition.
The Planner recommend approval of the Site Plan approval for the Fire District display building, with
the setbacks as shown on the third sheet, and upgrade the front facade to be consistent with the
artists rendering, and a 4 ft. sidewalk on the parking lot side, with a curb bumper.
After discussion,A. Anderson made a motion to recommend to the Village Board, the approval of
the Fire District display building, per fourth sheet, upgrade front facade to be compatible with store
fronts per the artists rendering. and a 4 ft sidewalk on the parking lot side, with a curb bumper,
sidewalk on the parking lot side. Seconded by L. Kachel. Roll call vote. L. Kachel, yes; W.
