Chairman Kiefer stated that when the applicant decides to build a building the applicant will need to come back to the Village for site plan approval. Chairman Kiefer stated a permanent truck stop is not what is being presented tonight. Commissioner Renzi explained his concerns with the wording of the motion. Chairman Kiefer indicated that he under the impression the applicant is not seeking to build a truck terminal. Mr. Proulx stated correct and explained why the truck terminal was used in the motion.

Mr. Olsen stated that there is a pad already on the parcel to the south and they will be building there soon. Mr. Olsen explained the future plan for the Plainfield Small Business Park. Chairman Kiefer asked if the applicant will still use the east side of the parcel for truck parking, after the building is built. Mr. Olsen stated he would stop the truck parking. Commissioner Minnis asked the applicant to explain the terms and expectation of the lease with the truck drivers. Mr. Olsen explained the expectations of the lease and stated the lot is monitored closely. Mr. Olsen stated that DuKane can run 100 trucks a day and that is the truck traffic the residents are seeing. Commissioner Minnis asked if the lease is monthly. Mr. Olsen stated it is a 3-month lease. Commissioner Renzi asked at what point does staff take at look at the temporary use to review possible groundwater contamination. Mr. Proulx stated that staff invites direction from the commission and that the lot will not be gravel, it will be asphalt grindings. Mr. Proulx stated that asphalt grindings are a harder surface so water run off should be directed to the detention area. Mr. Olsen stated the temporary parking lot is 12 inches of gravel with asphalt grindings on top and eventually there will be a proper permanent parking lot. Commissioner Renzi asked staff if there should be a time limit set on the temporary use and the temporary parking lot. Mr. Proulx explained staffs’ position. Mr. Proulx explained the asphalt grinding would be equivalent to a hard surface and explained what code requires. Mr. Proulx indicated that the Village has not received any noise complaints regarding this property in the last 12 to 18 months. Chairman Kiefer suggested for parking to be allowed for 1 year and then subject to review. Chairman Kiefer indicated he is not comfortable with a 5-year temporary use. Commissioner Renzi stated all the normal special use conditions that could be added such as landscaping, berms or fences does not apply because the use is temporary. Commissioner Renzi suggested third condition regarding parking lot requirements being reduced for a specified period of time in which staff and/or Plan Commission reviews. Commissioner Renzi also suggested a specific time period for the interim use. Plan Commission Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 5 of 10 Chairman Kiefer asked the commission for feedback on putting a time period on the use. Commissioner Womack indicated he would agree with a time period and explains why. Commissioner Green stated a temporary approval under the right conditions may be possible. Commissioner Seggebruch indicated having a time limit is the only way he will consider approving the special use. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if the applicant would be agreeable to setting a time limit. Commissioner Womack stated he agrees with the commissioners with tying a temporary time limit to the special use. Mr. Olsen stated he is open to a temporary time limit of maybe 2 years at which time he would come back for review. Commissioner Green asked staff what would be the tax income for the Village for the proposed use. Mr. Proulx stated property taxes are assessed by Plainfield Township Assessor. Mr. Olsen stated he has been using the parcel for parking the last two years and explained why he feels he has a right to continue use the property for parking. Mr. Olsen stated with the improvements he has made his property taxes went from $500 to $15,000 this year and could get as high as $35,000 per year. Commissioner Green asked what portion of the property taxes the Village receives. Mr. Proulx indicated the Village recieves 5 cents for every dollar, which is less than 6%. Commissioner Green asked if the DuKane property is incorporated into the Village. Mr. Proulx stated DuKane and the entire Plainfield Small Business Park is in the Village. Commissioner Green asked how many people DuKane employs. Mr. Olsen stated there are three plants and when they are running it is about 50 people. Mr. Olsen stated the Plainfield plant has not been running for some time because of the economy but the plant is running now and the truck noise being heard is from DuKane. Commissioner Green stated he lives in Harvest Glen Subdivision. Commissioner Green stated he asked a couple years ago if the Village had staff or consultants to conduct a traffic study of the area and explained why. Mr. Proulx summarized his discussion with Public Works that the traffic volume at this time would not warrant a traffic signal. Commissioner Green asked if IDOT was the road authority and what the process is work with IDOT to see if there can be a traffic signal. Mr. Proulx explained how the Village works with IDOT. Mr. Proulx stated a traffic signal can be unsafe if it is not warranted. Commissioner Green suggested adding a stipulation for traffic study and explained why. Commissioner Green asked if the Village has issues with higher occupancies than should be allowed in buildings or homes. Mr. Proulx stated on occasion there are code enforcement concerns. Commissioner Green asked if it is difficult to enforce occupancy. Mr. Proulx stated yes, it is a challenge. Commissioner Green voiced his concern regarding people sleeping in the trucks and police not being able to enforce overnight sleeping. Commissioner Green indicated he does not think renting parking spaces, even with background checks is a safe idea and explained why. Commissioner Green suggested the parking lot only be used for DuKane owned trucks. Commissioner Green implied that if a traffic study was completed it would show that a traffic signal is warranted. Commissioner Green stated he would not be able to support this without a traffic study and if spaces were rented to the general public. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if the trucks are assigned a specific space. Mr. Olsen stated yes. Chairman Kiefer asked how many parking spaces are currently there and how many does the applicant have to rent. Mr. Olsen stated currently there are 80 parking spaces and anticipate 160 parking spaces. Commissioner Seggebruch explained how the commission is in a difficult position with this case because of the temporary nature of the request. Commissioner Seggebruch stated the only way he would consider the use is because it is temporary but the commission can’t ask the applicant to make the typical Plan Commission Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 6 of 10 improvements such as landscaping, berm, and parking lot materials. Commissioner Seggebruch indicated he would suggest supporting it with an annual review. Commissioner Minnis agreed with making the special use have a review period.

Mr. Olsen stated correct. Commissioner Womack asked how far the lot setback is from Route 30. Mr. Olsen stated he will need 250 feet of frontage of Route 30 for the future building. Commissioner Womack asked if the parking lots are already there. Mr. Olsen stated yes and he is building them up to grade. Commissioner Womack asked the applicant to clarify if 50 out of the current 80 parking spaces are being used for DuKane. Mr. Olsen stated DuKane will always require at least 50 of the parking spaces available and if DuKane were to do to a second shift it could be as much as 100 parking spaces. Commissioner Womack stated he agrees with Commissioners Minnis and Seggebruch’s comments. Commissioner Womack indicated he would like a maximum 1-year stipulation added and to limit the number of parking spaces to 75. Commissioner Womack asked if the parking lot will be 150 parking spaces as stated in staff report or 160 spaces per the applicant’s testimony. Mr. Olsen stated 160 parking spaces. Commissioner Renzi asked if the basin has been cleared of debris. Mr. Olsen stated he is in the process of clearing the stock pile of gravel. Commissioner Renzi asked in the future if the gravel can be stored elsewhere. Mr. Olsen stated he will not be storing gravel there in the future. Commissioner Renzi asked staff if there is an issue with increasing the parking spaces to 160. Mr. Proulx stated no. Commissioner Seggebruch asked the applicant to clarify who will be using the parking spaces reserved for DuKane. Mr. Olsen stated the parking spaces will be utilized for DuKane trucks and trailers. Commissioner Seggebruch asked of the 160 parking spaces, what is the maximum number that will be used for DuKane. Mr. Olsen stated 60 parking spaces of the 160 parking spaces. Chairman Kiefer indicated he understands the applicant wanting to generate revenue from the property and that the applicant is entitled to make use of his land in a legally conforming matter. Chairman Kiefer stated he is uncomfortable with the temporary nature and explained why. Chairman Kiefer stated that this site is zoned Industrial and the future use will be industrial.

Mr. Ding and Mr. Proulx reviewed the findings of fact from the staff report dated July 13, 2018. Mr. Proulx explained the progress of case 1783-032818.AA/SU/PP/FP and the vote of this case when it was previously before the Plan Commission. Mr. Proulx stated staff believes the updated proposed project is a logical extension of the Village’s boundary and supports the proposed annexation. The proposed planned development offers a number of enhancements that exceed the Village’s minimum code requirements in exchange for certain bulk relief sought. The preliminary and final plats are consistent with the proposed planned development and additional requirements of the subdivision code. Both the annexation and special use requests require a public hearing and staff welcomes input from the public on the proposed project. In advance of such public comment and discussion by the Plan Commission, staff recommends approval.

Mr. Proulx stated yes, the Bronk farm property does have medical district area in the comprehensive plan. Commissioner Minnis thanked the applicant for making the changes based on the suggestions of the Commission and Village Board.

Commissioner Seggebruch thanked the applicant for listening to his recommendation regarding the alignment of the access drives. Commissioner Seggebruch indicated that a left turn lane on 248th Avenue is a must and gave his opinion about traffic in the area and what could possibly help traffic. Commissioner Seggebruch stated with the changes made by the applicant he could support the development. Commissioner Renzi asked staff if they were able to get a response from the school district regarding the path stated in the staff report. Mr. Proulx stated no and explained the path’s location. Plan Commission Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 8 of 10 Commissioner Renzi asked for clarification from staff regarding page 5 letter (f) of the report “Attention is required to ensure that big lots and small lots are evenly allocated…” since the commission will be voting on final plat tonight. Mr. Proulx stated staff is comfortable with the mix of lots but there could be a different allocation at final plat for future phases. Commissioner Seggebruch clarified that final plat for phase one is what they will be voting on this evening. Commissioner Renzi asked for clarification on how the applicant will exceed code requirements as noted on page 3 of the report “…the development commits to exceeding the Village’s Zoning Code requirements…” Mr. Proulx explained what is required per the code and how the builder is exceeding them. Commissioner Renzi asked what the minimum is for keys lots per code. Mr. Proulx stated code calls for approximately 10% of the lots. Commissioner Renzi asked if the additional architecture requirement for the 5 through lots is required or being added. Mr. Proulx stated it is consistent with Planned Development guidelines. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they are comfortable with the voluntary contribution toward future off-site path connection made by staff in the staff report. Mr. Cumming stated it depends on the circumstances and explained what those may be. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they are comfortable with staff suggesting that there are potential architectural design improvements that the applicant may wish to consider. Mr. Cumming explained how the elevations have been enhanced on the key lots and through lots. Chairman Kiefer asked if this is a change from the last time they have appeared before the commission. Mr. Cumming stated no. Commissioner Renzi asked if there have been any changes to the design specifications to the 160 plus lots. Mr. Cumming stated there have been a few changes to the Abbeyville (ranch) based on the Board’s feedback. Mr. Proulx stated, in general staff is comfortable with all elevations but the Board has some issues with the ranch elevation. Mr. Proulx stated that staff will continue to work with the applicant. Commissioner Seggebruch asked where the through lots are. Mr. Cumming identified the through lots on the plat. Commissioner Renzi asked staff if there is still a need for a 10-foot side yard public utility and drainage easements that is required in locations where storm sewers cross between lots, as noted in the staff report. Mr. Proulx indicated the applicant is aware of it and the applicant is working on modifications to the subdivision or engineering. Commissioner Renzi asked if the typical engineer stipulation covers this concern. Mr. Proulx stated yes. Commissioner Renzi asked when the fence will be constructed. Mr. Cumming stated part of the fence will be put up in phase 1 and the remaining fence will go up in phase 2. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they are working with staff on the recommendation for landscape clusters such as ornamental grasses, or an architectural element such as a masonry fence column. Mr. Cumming explained why he feels it is not necessary. Commissioner Renzi asked about the east and south property line with the existing buildings. Mr. Cumming stated they would install a 6-foot fence and additional landscaping if necessary. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they are comfortable with the reduced front yard setback of 25 feet for the east lots to provide flexibility for enhanced rear yard landscaping/buffering to screen these homes from the existing commercial development. Mr. Cumming stated they are open to it but he does not feel they need it. Commissioner Renzi asked if the relief should be granted or will it be included in Plan Commission Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 9 of 10 other modifications. Mr. Proulx stated the applicant is not petitioning for it so it can be omitted or put in the annexation agreement and planned development agreement. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they will have a dormant special service area. Mr. Cumming stated yes. Commissioner Renzi asked about the recapture amount in the motion. Mr. Proulx stated the majority of the recapture owed is by the applicant to the applicant for improvements that were for Canterbury Woods. Commissioner Renzi asked about recommendations for symbols noting key and through lots on the final plat. Mr. Cumming stated it may be already on the plat but they have no issue adding symbols. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant if they will be able to provide staff with a recorded copy of the subdivision convents. Mr. Cumming stated yes. Commissioner Womack asked the applicant to describe what has changed with the addition of adding the new parcel and relocating the access drive. Mr. Cumming stated the changes that were made. Commissioner Womack indicated he did not like the frequency of the smaller lots and explained why. Commissioner Green stated he likes that the access drive has been moved, the layout of the roads, and how the smaller lots border the green space. Commissioner Green indicated that he did not like the size of the smallest lots. Commissioner Green indicated that the preliminary plat configuration could change when the other phases come for final plat. Chairman Kiefer stated correct, that the commission is only voting on the final plat for phase 1. Commissioner Green made a motion to recommend approval of the annexation of the property commonly known as 12445 S. 248th Avenue (Parcel Identification Number 07-01-28-300-016-0000), as a logical extension of the Village of Plainfield.
