Mr. Proulx mentioned that the applicant has a number of possible end users to select from; indicated when
the user is selected they may proceed with site plan depending on any enhancements to the building or
site.
Commissioner Renzi asked if any redevelopment of the entire site would include this existing building.
Mr. Khan indicated they would be prepared to redevelop the entire properties if the opportunity arises.
Commissioner Green asked how access is obtained to this property from Route 30 and asked if there is an
easement for access to Renwick Road; asked if some sort of control could be added so access is restricted
to right in/right out to prevent left turns out onto Renwick Road. Mr. Proulx stated it is Staff’s
understanding that there are access rights to both access points benefiting both parcels; staff would see
full access from Renwick Road and in the future if redevelopment occurs from Peerless to the west with
access to Route 30 (Lincoln Highway) to be more limited. Mr. Khan indicated that would require a
conversation with IDOT; indicated for this property access from Route 30 is right in/right out at this time.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked if there is an access easement in place to Renwick Road; asked if the
rezoning applies to Lot 1 only. Mr. Proulx agreed only Lot 1 is to be rezoned.
Commissioner Seggebruch felt B-3 zoning was a better option for the Village in this area; would like to
see some other type of commercial use in the future.
Commissioner Green made a motion to adopt the findings of fact of staff as the findings of fact of the
Plan Commission and, furthermore, recommend approval of the requested map amendment (re-zoning),
from B-1 to B-3, for the property commonly known as 15908 S. Lincoln Highway.
Seconded by Commissioner Renzi. Vote by roll call: Seggebruch, yes; Minnis, yes; Womack, yes;
Renzi, yes; Green, yes; Kiefer, yes. Motion carried 6-0

for the ultimate auto-repair business.

Case No. 1757-030617.SPR Menards – Warehouse Expansion
Mr. Bogda stated the applicant is seeking an expansion for a warehouse facility to Menards at 13441 S.
Route 59. Mr. Bogda described the existing site; the proposed expansion; and the adjacent land uses.
Mr. Bogda reviewed the site plan as noted in the staff report dated March 16, 2017; noting the minimum
interior side setback requirement is not in compliance with the zoning standards in the B-3 zoning district.

Staff submits that the site plan for the expansion and reconfiguration of the warehouse facilities, outdoor
sales and storage area at Menards is generally in compliance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance and consistent with the previously approved building design. Staff suggests a favorable
recommendation.
Chairman Kiefer asked if a stipulation was needed supporting the variance of the interior side yard
setback. Mr. Bogda replied yes.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Rodney Wekkin, representing Menard Inc. Mr. Wekkin stated the updates to
the garden center, rear door, additional warehouse space as well as the expansion to the lumberyard is an
overall prototype update to Menards. Mr. Wekkin reviewed the elevations to the rear of the warehouse –
stated the existing elevation is 2 X 8 treated lumber and this is what they will be proposing for the new
warehouse and not the precast concrete panels outlined in the staff report.
Chairman Kiefer asked for public comments. There was no response.
Commissioner Green asked if the Fire Department would have any issues with the changes from planned
masonry to a timber structure in the far southeast corner. Mr. Proulx indicated the proposal would have to
comply with the requirements of the Fire District.
Commissioner Heinen asked if this expansion would create an opportunity to bring the existing
landscaping up to code and asked if a stipulation should be added. Mr. Bogda indicated staff is currently
working will all the shopping center owners to bring their landscaping back up to code. Mr. Wekkin
indicated Menard would agree to reinstall whatever landscaping was originally approved for this specific
site.
Commissioner Green and Commission Renzi would prefer adding a stipulation with regard to bringing
the landscaping back to code. Mr. Proulx indicated Staff and the Building Department are working with
the businesses to address a number of landscaping situations.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked if the access to the outdoor sales was going to be closed completely and
if the customers go through the front. Mr. Wekkin indicated this is a matter of loss prevention; and
indicated customers will be directed to check out within the store.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked how the yard sales will operate. Mr. Wekkin stated they are
encouraging the semi-trucks away from the customers.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked the reason for the increase to the warehouse. Mr. Wekkin stated some
of the larger products (i.e. drywall and insulation) will be moved to the new warehouse.
Commissioner Renzi made a motion to recommend approval of the site plan review for the proposed
warehouse expansion at Menards at 13441 S. Route 59, subject to the following two (2) stipulations in the
staff report and the two additional stipulations added by the Plan Commission:
1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer; and
2. Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection District.
3. Applicant will work with staff to update the landscaping to the original approved landscape
plan.
4. The minimum interior side yard setback is reduced to 8 feet.
