Sobkoviak, M. Krippel, EX- OFFICIO PRESENT: L. Kelly, M. Gehrke, D. Norris, E. Schrader, Fire District Rep., ALSO PRESENT: P. J. Waldock, Village Planner K. Jania, Secretary. Chairman Simmons called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Roll call was taken. J. Anderson, R. Russ, J. Eichelberger, G. Krahn, and J. Wilson were absent. Chairman Simmons declared the minutes of the April 4, 1989 meeting approved with the following corrections: Page 2, second paragraph - delete the word "masonry "; and Page 3, fourth paragraph - typographical error, "is" should be "his ". Case No. 208- 3989AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -4, Highway Business District zoning for the Kelly Automotive site, 23309 W. Lincoln Highway. Case No. 212- 31789AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -4, Highway Business District zoning for the Jacobs Oldsmobile - Chevrolet site, 23205 W. Lincoln Highway. Case No. 216- 31789AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -3, Business District and B -4 Highway Business District zoning for the Sehring - Harshbarger property located east of Route 30, south of Renwick and west of McClellan Avenue. Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board which combined the three cases. The Kelly site is Parcel 35 and 36; Sehring- Harshbarger is Lot 32, a 24 -acre site that is vacant; and Jacobs Oldsmobile Lots 41, 42, and 43. The Kelly and Jacobs sites are proposing B -4 Highway Business zoning. Both sites are partially developed at this time. There are no major issues related to the Kelly annexation agreement. The zoning is requested to accommodate the existing use. Also, the annexation agreement would recognize the existing land uses at the property and allow them to continue in the future. The agreement also provides for one sewer and water tap -on - waiving the fee for such tap -on. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Two The Jacobs annexation agreement is similar in that it also recognizes the existing land use which is an automobile dealer with associated repair facilities. The agreement is worded so that future development would be subject to site plan review ordinance if and when it is approved by the Village. The Sehring - Harshbarger property is a 24 -acre site, vacant at the present time. Present land use is agricultural. Land use proposal on this site is a split of two different types of commercial developments. The west 10 acres located along a line 457 feet east of Route 30 and parallel to Route 30 would be proposed for B -4 zoning. The remainder of the site about 14 acres is proposed for B -3. Subdivision of the site is ultimately proposed. There is no specific land use development proposed for the site at this time. Five tap -on fees are provided for in the annexation agreement to accommodate the large size of parcel in comparison to some of the other parcels on the Rout 30 annexation area. Concerns have been raised from adjacent property owners in the Lily Cache Subdivision regarding traffic and impact from the commercial uses onto their single- family residential area. To accommodate this, the developers have agreed to prohibit access onto McClellan. They would access the central portion of their 24 -acre site via the extension of a cul -de -sac which would access onto Renwick Road and commercial properties would then front onto the cul -de -sac with access at that point. Also, screening and landscaping would be provided along the east property line of the site to accommodate a buffer and to facilitate a reduced impact of the uses between the two facilities. The annexation agreement for this property is worded so that more restrictive ordinances in the future would apply, specifically the site plan review ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan does project commercial land uses approximately for the area designated for B -4 by the Sehring - Harshbarger proposal. The B -3 portion is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as moderate density residential development. Mr. Waldock stated we have received a letter signed by many property owners in the Lily Cache Subdivision. Also received a letter regarding the conservation of the Lake Renwick area - concerned about the impact that this type of zoning and ultimate development may have on Lake Renwick. Many of the adjoining landowners were present and expressed their concerns: They could live with the B -4, but do not like the B -3; what the impact will be to Lake Renwick; landscaping barrier should be done before any construction started (referenced Rod Baker - no barrier and bright lights); concerned about what type of businesses PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Three can go in B -3; increased traffic on McClellan; McClellan is a very narrow street - who will pay for widening and curb and gutter. Mr. Waldock was directed to talk to Rod Baker regarding the barrier and lights. Also, regarding the street, the developer is generally required to upgrade the street to meet Village standards. M. Krippel stated the Comprehenive Plan designation is moderate density residential i.e. multi - family which is generally not too popular with adjacent landowners. But feels there is a need for that type of housing in the community. How would we justify casting aside that designation. He stated he would tend to support the Comprehensive Plan designation. R. Mentzer agreed. H. Bayer stated he could live with business zoning along Rt. 30, but agrees there should be a spot there for residential. Mr. Bayer suggested B -4 and A -1 for zoning. Mr. Waldock stated he received a phone call from an attorney representing the Department of Conservation saying that they would be interested in reviewing specific development plans for the site. Mr. Troka, Attorney, for applicant stated he feels B -3 may be of a lesser impact than residential. Also, they will provide whatever protective barrier is requested along McClellan. He stated they are only in the zoning stage and that there are no development plans at this time. M. Krippel moved to recommend to the Village Board that we allow B -4 zoning along the Route 30 Sehring - Harshbarger parcel and in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan designation an A -2 for the remainder of the parcel which would allow a moderate density residential.

PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Four Chairman Simmons reconvened the meeting at 8:48 p.m. County Case - Phase Three Associates Requesting County rezoning from A -1, Agricultural to I -2, Industrial on 40 acres; C -4, Commercial on 19 acres; and R -2A, Single- Family Residential on 16 acres located along Route 59 south of Wolf Creek Unit 2 near 119th Street in Wheatland Township. Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board: The subject site is located along Route 59 south of the Wolf Creek Industrial Park. The property is within a mile- and -a -half of the Village's boundaries. Requested is three different types of zoning - Commercial on 19 -acre commercial tract along Rt. 59, 39 Industrial lots with a minimum acreage of 40,000 square feet each, and 20 single- family residential zoning on the eastern portion of the site. The proposal calls for connections between adjacent land uses. There is no direct linkage proposed in terms of streets between the single- family portion and the industrial portion. The residential portion would be accommodated with the extension of an unnamed street which would extend from Andrew Road. The proposal calls for landscape berming along the property line diving industrial uses from residential uses to the east. The creek is proposed for storm water management. There will be a ball diamond, picnic area and park provided for public use. There will be a slight relocation of the Norman Drain. The Comprehensive Plan calls for low density residential development on the subject site, but the Plan does not recognize the existing industrial uses to the north and the commercial uses further north on 119th. This is seen to be an error on the part of the consulting firm's preparation of the Plan. Staff recommends that this project is compatible with existing land uses, and buffering be upgraded between the industrial and single - family, that the area be highly landscaped and screened to provide an adequate buffer between the two different land uses. Attorney Leevy representing the developer stated they were before the Wheatland Township Plan Commission and received approval of this proposed development. He stated that in developing this plan they tried to conform this development to the surrounding land uses, to buffer the existing residential with single- family residential so the adjoining landowners would not bear the burden of abutting any industrial or commercial uses. The industrial use is compatible with the existing Wolf Creek Phase II and that the commercial use is compatible with the development on Route 59. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Five Many of the adjoining landowners were present and expressed their concerns. Their attorney, Dan Quigley, was present also stating some of the concerns: The County Comprehensive Plan for the area calls for this to be an office complex along Route 59. Do not feel this subdivision proposal is compatible as the applicant is requesting an I -2 zoning for the site which is more intense than I -1. Also, concerned on the residential and the buffering. Objection is that they feel the R -2A should be moved further over so that you get a better buffer. All access to the residential area through the park comes down to the adjoining landowners subdivision. This would increase traffic. Also, who will maintain the park and police it. This is also flood plain area. Another concern is what type of houses will be built there. They do not want devaluation of the existing properties. Mr. Quigley stated they feel the proposal is not compatible with the existing area. Residential should be expanded and industrial lessened. There was some discussion regarding the deep well for the proposed -- development. E. Schrader, Fire District representative, stated they have no objection to the rezoning, but that the Fire District requires two means of access to properties. There is only one to the commercial and one to the residential. R. Mentzer suggested that we do not encourage additional industrial growth in areas that are not identified for industrial under our land use plan. H. Bayer moved to recommend to the Village Board they object to the rezoning request in light of all the concerns of the people involved and that the public hearing at the Wheatland Township Plan Commission was not well publicized wherein the adjoining landowners were not able to be represented. Seconded by J. Sobkoviak. Vote by roll call. Mentzer, yes; Bayer, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, yes; Simmons, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Case No. 211- 3989AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -3, Highway Business District zoning on approximately 20 acres and Residential A, Single - Family District zoning on approximately 40 acres for the Chaplin Family Farm located at the corner of 135th and Route 59. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Six Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board. Subject site is a 60 -acre parcel proposed for annexation located at the intersection of 135th and Route 59 and located in Wheatland Township. The site is known as the Chaplin Family Farm. Land use proposals in conjunction with the annexation of this site include a site of approximately 20 acres devoted for B -3 commercial uses with remainder of the site to be provided for Single- Family Residential development in accordance with Residance A zoning classification. Unique features of the site include an existing radio tower which has a 10 -year lease and will remain after the development of this particular land project. The annexation agreement proposes to acquire contiguity to the Village through annexation of a 300 -foot southern portion of the Bronk Farm as well as the 300 -foot portion of the adjacent farm to the west of Bronk which is the Pilcher Farm. That would provide contiguity along the existing vacant property known as the Moser property. The Comprehensive Plan calls for low density residential development on this site with commercial development on the southeast corner of this intersection. Other details of the plan call for six separate outlots from the core development area of the commercial. On the larger portion is a shopping center of approximately 123,000 square feet. The perimeter lots are approximately one acre each. B -3 zoning is proposed which would not accommodate drive - through restaurants. There is a recapture segment in the annexation agreement which would relate to the extension of sewer and water mains which would be oversized to serve this parcel and surrounding territory. The recapture agreement would cover such details as a stoplight at the 135th and Route 59 intersection, and road improvements to Route 59 and 135th. Staff's recommendation is for approval of the annexation of the property as proposed and the establishment of B -3 zoning in accordance with an associated annexation agreement. Mr. Richard Selfridge, Attorney was present on behalf of applicant, Plainfield Partners. He briefly discussed the proposed development stating the tower would be removed when lease expires and would become residential. They will work with the adjacent landowners in routing drainage. The plan is to provide for berming to buffer the residential from commercial. The outlots will be separately owned and sold off. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Seven Mr. Wally Daum from the Wheatland Township Plan Commission was present. He asked if the Board would postpone this hearing until Wheatland has had a chance to review it. Mr. Selfridge stated he will be at their next meeting. Some adjoining landowners were present and discussed storm sewers and drainage. W. Schempf moved to recommend to the Board that they approve the annexation of this property and the establishment of B -3 zoning, and also the 300 foot strip of the Bronk Farm and the 300 foot portion of the adjacent farm to the west of Bronk Farm. Seconded by J. Sobkoviak. Vote by roll call. Mentzer, yes; Bayer, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, yes; Simmons, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Case No. 215- 31789AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -3, Business zoning at a vacant 5 -acre site located at the southwest intersection of Route 59 and Fort Beggs and a 1.4 acre site at the northeast intersection of Route 59 and Robert Avenue. Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board: The Parks desire annexation of two of their properties along Route 59. Separate annexation agreements for each parcel has been drafted to address unique condition of the sites. Associated with this annexation will be the provision of easements for sewer and water lines. This will facilitate service to the Renwick Road area. The second annexation agreement concerns the existing Park Bros. Grocery Store site. The terms of this agreement recognizes the present land use and provides for its continuance. Each of these sites are contiguous to the present Village boundary. Staff recommends approval of annexation and establishment of B -3 zoning. Attorney Richard Selfridge briefly discussed the easements. J. Sobkoviak moved to recommend to the Village Board to approve the annexation of the 5 -acre tract at the southwest corner of the intersection of Fort Beggs Drive and Route 59, and the 1.4 acre site at the northeast corner of Robert Avenue and Route 59 with the establishment of B -3 zoning as proposed. Seconded by H. Bayer. Vote by roll call. Mentzer, no; Bayer, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, no; Simmons, yes. 4 yes, 2 no. Motion carried. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION April 18, 1989 Page Eight Case No. 213- 31789AZ Public Hearing for Annexation and Establishment of B -3, Business District zoning for a site located at 100 So. Lincoln Highway. Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board. The subject site contains a vacant restaurant building and remnants of a burned down house. The parcel is the former site of Dino's Restaurant. Proposed after annexation is the construction of a new restaurant with associated parking. Village sewer and water can be extended to serve the site. Key features include B -3 zoning, cost recapture for oversizing water and /or sanitary sewer lines, and land use approval for a new restaurant with liquor license. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as existing commercial. B -3 is compatible. No major issues with this project. Owner would have to apply for a liquor license. There was a short discussion regarding water and sewer mains and seating capacity of the new restaurant (170 -180 seats). J. Sobkoviak moved to recommend to the Village Board to approve the annexation and establishment of B -3 zoning on the subject site. Seconded by R. Mentzer. Vote by roll call.

Key features of this annexation agreement are consistent with others along Route 30. Zoning is proposed as B -4, existing land uses are to continue after annexation and waiver of fees for one water and sewer tap -on is provided. Staff recommends approval.
