The property is located on the NE corner of 127th Street and
Route.59. It is an 8.31 acre parcel of land and is currently
zoned oned A-1 which is a County non-conforming use because it is
less than ten acres.
Mr. Martin reported he appeared before the Wheatland Township
Plan Commission and they unanimously approved the proposed
rezoning to A-2 with special use permit.
Referring to a drawing, Mr. Martin pointed out that Mr. Davids
would conduct his business on the west 3.44 acres of the
property. The applicant is requesting that the special use
permit include greenhouses and nurseries. The remaining 4.86
acres would be used as a nursery. The current residence on
the e property would be maintained as a caretaker's residence.
Applicant is also seeking to construct a Morton Building on
the west 3.44,acres.
With the special use permit, the applicant suggested reasonable
restrictions such as no Sunday operation, and minimizing
visibility of trucks and equipment by the use of screening
through planting and solid fencing.
Mr. Martin stated that according to the County Land Use Map,
Naperville's Plan shows commercial to the nor ' th of Mr. Davids'
,property, and Plainfield's Plan to the south of his property,
shows residential. Applicant feels his business would be a
good buffer between the two.
A. Simmons. asked if this will be basically a commercial-type
business rather than a.,residential-type. Mr. Davids responded
it is mostly commercial. He does residential, but on a very
small basis.
A. Simmons also asked about entrances to the property, and
noted that there are a couple of h.omes across the street from
Mr. Davids' property.. Would there be another entrance on
127th Street where most of the traffic would be coming from.
Mr. Martin stated they will leave the existing drive and plan
to use 127th Street as the entrance for the trucks. Mr. Davids
has 4 or 5 trucks and there should not be much traffic as.they
leave in the morning and return in the evening.
