County Case - Randall Jacobs
Requesting rezoning from County E -2 to A -1 for property located
along the South side of Renwick Road between Indian Boundary Line
Road and County Line Road.
Mr. Waldock summarized his report to the Board: The subject site
is a vacant farm land. The site is 10 acres. Surrounding land uses
are agricultural. The site was rezoned to E -2 in the spring of 1988
along with the property that is now known as the Rury Subdivision.
The subject site experiences occasional storm water inundation.
Due to the downzoning nature in the existing land uses in that area,
a reversion of the property to agricultural is not seen as one which
would create a substantial negative impact. It would limit the
number of residential uses available on the site and further
subdivision of the property. Sewer and water are not accessible to
the site. For these reasons, staff has no objection to the rezoning
request.
Kathleen McMahon, present on behalf of Randall Jacobs, was present.
Presented receipts of certified mailings to adjoining land owners.
Ms. McMahon stated that Mr. Jacobs plans to build a barn to stable
standard bred race horses. He may build a home on the property in the
future.
W. Schempf moved to recommend to the Village Board that they not
object to the rezoning request from E -2 to A -1 for the Randall Jacobs
property. Seconded by R. Mentzer. Vote by roll call.
Krippel, yes; Schempf, yes; Bayer, yes; Mentzer, yes; Anderson, yes;
Sobkoviak, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.

Roppolo Development - Eastern Avenue
Mr. Waldock reported that the subject site in this case is the
Wanderer property on Eastern Avenue. The site is vacant and
adjacent to the Bethesda Home, approximately 25 -30 acres. The site
is relatively flat and no substantial vegetation. The sketch plan
proposes 61 single - family parcels. Current zoning is Industrial.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the area low - density residential.
The sketch plan presented is in substantial compliance with
ordinance requirements for this area.
Mr. William Roppolo, developer, was present and briefly described
his proposed development. The proposed development contains 61 lots
of approximately 12,000 sq. ft. Mr. Roppolo said the project is
nearly ready for formal presentation to the Plan Commission and is
here tonight to get comments from the Board. He stated they have
already agreed to improve the sewer in the area.
Surrounding properties are the Avery quarry and school to the north.
In discussion the concerns of the Board were stub streets to the
north and east, the density of the subdivision, traffic and improvements
to Eastern Avenue and buffering between the railroad tracks and the
homes on three lots that back up to the tracks. Another concern
were the squared corners - may need stop signs.
E. Schrader, representative of the Fire District, stated the Fire
District would like to see two means of access to the subdivision
The Fire District ordinance requires this.
Case No. 218 - 516892 Text Amendment
Establishment of regulation of conditional uses in all zoning
districts Village -wide.
Mr. Waldock reported that as of the last meeting he has amended
the conditions for Bed and Breakfast Inns, Professional Offices and
Convalescent Homes. Nursery Schools, Day Care Homes were deleted.
In discussion, under Item 1, Bed and Breakfast (b) it was agreed
this should be clarified - two off - street parking spaces for residents
plus one off - street space for each guest room. All guest spaces to be
located on site between the front wall of the principal structure
and the rear lot line
Under Item 3 Home Occupations - two off - street spaces.
Under Item 4 Convalescent Homes, Nursing Homes - clarify "two- story"
(multi- level).
J. Anderson moved to recommend to the Village Board that they
approve the Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance establishing
conditional uses with the amendments regarding off - street parking
for bed and breakfast, and for professional and home occupation uses.
Vote by roll call.
