OLD BUSINESS: NEW BUSINESS: 355 - 071092 -AA TOPE - CONCEPT PLAN The Plan Commission has approved the Annexation Agreement, and the Concept Plan for the Tope Corporation, the subject site is along either side of Route 126, near the intersection of I -55, just south of 135th Street and north of 143rd Street. This meeting is to discuss an amendment to the Concept Plan. The original plan called for 410' units on 161.5 total acres. The revised plans now call for 352 total units on the same acreage. This decrease in net units is a result of the conversion of acreage originally planned for town -home development to instead be used as Single - Family development. Parcel One - presently 11,000 sq. ft. Parcel Two - previously 7,800 sq. ft. presently, over 10,371 sq. ft. Parcel Three - presently 10,715 sq. ft. The revisions also have resulted in the increase of overall open area of the subject site from 56.4 acres to 59.7 acres overall. Overall the plan revisions appear acceptable to Staff. The revisions result in an increase in open area and a decrease total number of units. This results in a significant reduction of proposed density for the development project. The previous plan provided an overall density of 2.5 dwellings per acre. The current Concept Plan yields an overall density of 2.18 units per acre. Other changes noted on the subject site include the elimination of a cul -de -sac in parcel two, and the addition of a stub street accessible to the Material Service property, north of 126 and east of the subject site. The Applicants have been working with the Park District with regard to donation of appropriate Park land and open space, they have devised a trail system around the 9 acre park on Lot C. For these reasons, Staff finds the plan revisions acceptable as presented. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES February 16, 1993 Page 2 There was a question from the Commissioners regarding the Fire Department and the singular access into parcel one and three. Ordinances require two accesses into every residential site. The stub street on parcel one will be, 'when extended to 224th Street, a good permanent access point. The Fire District would like to see some temporary access in the mean time. The developers have not yet had an opportunity to meet with the Fire District. There was also a question regarding the Park site. It is approximately 60 acres, with a shelter, facility, a playground, sand volleyball, a basketball court, parking and landscaping, with a trail system around the park site. After a short discussion, M. Krippel made a motion that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the revised Concept Plan for TOPE Development. Seconded by W. Schempf. Roll call vote: H. Bayer, yes; A. Consola, yes; M. Krippel, yes; D. Norris, yes; W. Schempf, yes. Motion carried. 5, yes; 0, no. 368- 110592.AA LAKE RENWICK ANNEXATION The subject site in this case is Lake Renwick, along the east side of Route 30, north of Renwick Road, South of Lockport Street and west of I -55 in Plainfield Township. The property is approximately 830 acres. The Village approached the Forest Preserve with an interest of annexation in order to provide for improved Intergovernmental Planning between agencies, to coordinate land use functions, improve services to the site, and to extend the Village boundaries. No development proposal is associated with this Annexation Agreement. Once annexed into the Village, Village Police Department will have the ability to enforce Forest Preserve and Village regulations on the Forest Preserve site. There are no tax revenues associated with the Lake Renwick property. We have changed some of the Forest Preserve District language, with regard to building permits; a waiver of building permits for non - habitable structures (ie. picnic pavilion, a shed, detached deck, etc.) but would require permits for construction of Offices, Lodges, Houses, any building that people would inhabit. The Annexation Agreement is also amended regarding waiver of tap -on fee for one existing building. Staff is recommending approval of the annexation of Lake Renwick Forest Preserve area totaling approximately 830 acres. And the approval of the Annexation Agreement with the amendments discussed. The Illinois Department of Conservation owns a portion of the Lake, including the rookery (189 acres.) They would likely have a similar but separate Annexation Agreement for their site which would occur at a later hearing. After a short discussion, H. Bayer made a motion that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Annexation Agreement for Lake Renwick area. Seconded by D. Norris. Roll call vote: H. Bayer, yes; A. Consola, yes; M. Krippel, yes; D. Norris, yes; W. Schempf, yes. Motion carried. 5, yes; 0, no. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES February 16, 1993 Page 3 CASE NO. 378- 021093.SPR OFF THE PRESS The applicants are proposing to construct a 4,700 sq. ft. steel and masonry commercial structure. The building is intended to be used as a commercial printing business and will have a 1,210 sq. ft. lease area. The site is one acre in area, and is part of a commercial subdivision along Route 30 south of Renwick Road. The structure is one story in area and has a split faced concrete block facade with a masonry mansard roof panel. Storm water detention is not required for the subject development, because hard surface coverage does not exceed 50 % of the overall lot area. However, storm water control is provided via the subdivision detention area located in the northwest portion of the subdivision site. Parking and drive areas - are proposed asphalt, parking will be provided for 25 cars. Village Ordinances require 25.85 parking spaces for the site. It is felt that sufficient parking is provided to meet the needs of the tenants and is in substantial compliance, handicap parking is shown on the plans. Landscaping - the building is set back 80 ft. from the property line, the site plan does call for 37 undetermined plantings. Staff asks that these plantings are specified prior to building permit issuance. Facade - is constructed in accordance with Site Development Regulations, concrete block exterior walls, decorative split faced block is intended for the front as well as each side. It is suggested that the rear facade be painted or otherwise dyed to match. Trash enclosure - will provide a 100% screen, 6 ft. high privacy fence. Access -. is provided via a shared driveway of 30 ft. in width to Route 30. A private drive is proposed for access to the rear parking areas. Lighting - no exterior lighting is proposed for the site. Should plans be amended to provide for exterior lighting of the parking lot and building walls, these lighting fixtures must be screened or directed to avoid glare on to adjoining property. No light fixtures will be approved unless they direct all light directly towards the ground. Pole Lights should be kept to a maximum of 15 ft. in height to help control off -site glare. The subject site provides a reasonable design in light of the constraints of the narrow deep lot. The facade is tastefully done. Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan for Off the Press at 23210 West Lincoln Highway for Paul and Kim Jackson. PLAN COADUSSION AIINUTES February 16, 1993 Page 4 After a short discussion, regarding the lack of exterior lighting. W.
