Case No. 1836-042519.SPR NWC of Interstate 55 & U.S. Route 30 Interchange Costco Wholesale Corp.
Mr. Melrose stated the applicant, Costco Wholesale, is proposing to construct an approximate 152,000 SF
store with a gas station on 17.99 acres of the Boulevard development at the northwest corner of Interstate 55 & U.S. Route 30. The subject site is proposed on Lot 2 of the Village’s Unit 1 plat and Lot 1 of
Joliet’s Unit 2 plat at the southeast corner of the site. Per the pending intergovernmental agreement with
the City of Joliet, the Village of Plainfield bears all responsibility for the review of the proposed project including those portions that overlap into Joliet.
Mr. Melrose stated the applicant is seeking a recommendation for approval from the Plan Commission for the proposed site plan. The proposed use of a wholesale establishment/retail sales and service of 25,000
SF or more/automotive service station is considered a permitted use in the B-3 Highway Business District and the Village Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this project area as General Commercial.
Mr. Melrose reviewed the staff report dated June 18, 2019. Mr. Melrose concluded the proposed development of a Costco Wholesale store at the Boulevard site fulfills, and helps fulfil, multiple goals established by the Village of Plainfield, including the Village Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the 3

Village’s strategic planning goals. Staff has found that the proposed site plan conforms with the Village code. In prior to discussion by the Plan Commission, staff recommends approval.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Theodore R. Johnson, representing the applicant. Mr. Johnson stated it is scheduled to open fall of 2020 opening but hoping for late summer of 2020 opening. Mr. Johnston stated
the opening depends on the developer since they will need to provide road improvements, stormwater,
and utilities before construction will start.
Chairman Kiefer asked for public comment and there was no response.
Commissioner Womack recused himself from the case due to an existing relationship between his
employer and the applicant.
Commissioner Ruane stated as he indicated during the Boulevard hearing June 4th, he wants to ensure
that the development will be pedestrian friendly. Commissioner Ruane indicated he is concerned that there is no pedestrian features on the plans submitted by the applicant. Mr. Melrose stated the right-of-way portion of the development is the responsibility of the developer. Mr. Melrose explained how the
improvements will be implemented as part of the roadway design. Commissioner Ruane asked if the south entrance into the Costco development is the responsibility of the developer and if Costco would
only be responsible for development at their lot line. Mr. Johnson confirmed. Mr. Johnson stated per
ADA code Costco will provide a sidewalk from the main entrance to the sidewalk in a right-of-way but have not incorporated those plans into the site plan because they have not seen the plans from the
developer for the right-of-way.
Commissioner Ruane voiced his concerns regarding the architecture of the building, which included the
building materials. Commissioner Ruane indicated that he does not want to lower the building standards for this project, since this development is at the entry into Plainfield and the scale of the project. Commissioner Ruane stated he likes the site plan and landscaping plan but building architecture is not up
to Plainfield standards.
Commission Minnis stated he also has concerns regarding the architecture of the building. Commissioner
Minnis asked if the entrance into the gas station can be changed because he feels the current entrance may cause traffic problems.
Commission Renzi asked if there is only one speedbump for the truck access drive around the building. Chairman Kiefer asked if that road is designed to stop traffic from speeding behind the building. Mr.
Johnson confirmed. Commissioner Renzi asked if the roadway to the north will be constructed to handle
the volume of cars and trucks that will use it. Mr. Johnson stated heavy duty pavement is used where the trucks travel in the development. Mr. Johnson further explained that deliveries will take place before the
store opens, so trucks and cars should not be using the road at the same time. Commissioner Renzi asked
if there will be signage for trucks only or a speed limit sign. Mr. Johnson indicated that it is not part of Costco’s design standards, but if it becomes a problem signage can be installed.
Commissioner Renzi explained how moving the fuel station to the back of the development may help with traffic flow and cut through traffic. Commissioner Renzi asked if there will be two lanes when
exiting the gas station. Mr. Johnson indicated generally it is wide enough for two exiting vehicles, one turning and one going straight. Commissioner Renzi commented that the current configuration does not allow for a vehicle to go straight because the drive aisle do not line up. Mr. Johnson explained how
vehicles will proceed through the development when they exit the gas station. Chairman Kiefer asked if this site plan configuration is typical for Costco. Mr. Johnson confirmed. Chairman Kiefer asked if there

have been any issues with traffic flow thus far. Mr. Johnson stated no. Mr. Johnson indicated that the engineer plans for striping and signage have not been completed and the intersection will be stop
controlled, so the drivers will have the right-of-way. Commissioner Renzi suggested during final
engineering the exit from the gas station should be reviewed.
Commissioner Renzi asked what are the lights 3 feet above what per the staff report. Mr. Melrose stated
they are 4 foot above the principles highest structure. Commissioner Renzi asked if that would be the warehouse part. Mr. Melrose confirmed. Commissioner Renzi asked staff if they are ok with that. Mr.
Melrose stated per staff report it is typical to provide the cut sheets for final engineering.
Commissioner Seggebruch explained how the traffic may flow through the gas stations as configured.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked how many cars can be stacked waiting at the gas station. Mr. Johnson
did not have an exact number. Mr. Johnson explained the gas station configuration. Commissioner Seggebruch indicated reversing the site plan of the gas station may make the traffic flow worse.
Commissioner Seggebruch provided his feedback on the building’s architecture, which included building materials, mass of building, and architectural features. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if there is a
specific reason the bollards are only at the entry point of the building. Mr. Johnson explained why the bollards are located there for safety and after-hours thief. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if there are
any plans to align the tire entrance up with the cross aisle in the parking lot. Mr. Johnson explained that
the customer does not ride their car into the service area a staff remember will be.
Commissioner Heinen agreed with the comments his fellow commissioners made about the architecture
of the building and he wants staff to work with the applicant to bring it up to Plainfield’s standards. Commissioner Heinen indicated that a challenge he noticed at other Costco’s is pedestrian safety when
accessing the entrance of the building. Commissioner Heinen asked if Costco has ever considered closing off the access drive that runs north/south and have a drive aisle that connects to the west instead. Mr. Johnson stated he understands the request, but he will need to review the suggestion with architects
regarding handicap accessible spaces. Commissioner Heinen asked staff to have the Village engineer
review this suggestion. Commissioner Heinen asked if any other communities had the same concern. Mr. Johnson stated that they have been asked for traffic calming design elements and provided examples.
Mr. Johnson explained how customers can maneuver around the site. Commissioner Heinen asked if the north entrance into the site will have a full access. Mr. Johnson confirmed and he added it will be shared with the future development to the north. Commissioner Heinen suggested combining/aligning access
points when the developments to the north and south come in. Commissioner Heinen and Mr. Johnson discussed how the drive aisles can be aligned with the gas stations access points. Commissioner Heinen
and Mr. Johnson discussed the proposed gas station verses the one at the Naperville Costco.
Commissioner Heinen reiterated that he would like staff to continue to work with the applicant on the architecture of the building.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked if the parking on the south side of building is for customers. Mr. Johnson confirmed. Commissioner Seggebruch provided a suggestion on how to reconfigure based on
Commissioner Heinen’s suggestion regarding closing the access drive that runs north/south. Commissioner Renzi asked what the applicant is required to use for building materials per code. Mr.
Melrose stated there are different components to the code, for example, the entry point needs to include display windows, a cornice, and masonry material with elevation changes. Mr. Melrose indicated the design materials per code are not specified for a building of this nature, but code makes suggestions. Mr.
Proulx explained what building materials may be more appropriate for a 2,000 sqft fast casual restaurant verse a big box store because of the scale of the building. Mr. Proulx stated that comments from the

commissioners hves been heard and staff will continue to work with the applicant. Commissioner Heinen added that Costco has great landscaping plans and that could be one of the components for setting the
precedent is requiring above code landscape plans in exchange for building materials upgrade. Mr.
Johnson explained why the architectural ribbed metal panels are a high-quality product and more energy efficient then masonry. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if there is a difference is construction time
between the metal panels and precast. Mr. Johnson stated construction time can be reduced by 110 days
for a building built with the metal panels verses the materials used to build the Naperville location. Mr. Johnson indicated the metal panels are lighter, so conventional footings can be used when the soil is soft.
Commissioner Seggebruch stated in his opinion it is about enhancements that go with the façade whether
it is metal or precast. Commissioner Ruane clarified his early statement by stating he meant the design is bare minimum standard not necessarily the materials. Commissioner Ruane asked if the entry is CMU or
face brick. Mr. Johnson stated it is a smooth face CMU.
Commissioner Ruane asked if there are any plans for internet sale pick up in the parking lot and if so
suggested clearly marking the pickup locations. Mr. Johnson stated some Costco locations do home delivery and is not aware of any internet sale pick up.
Commissioner Heinen made a motion to recommend approval of the requested Costco Wholesale site plan review for the property located at Lot 2 of Unit 1 and Lot 1 of Unit 2 of the Boulevard Final Plat,
subject to the following two (2) stipulations:
1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer; and
2. Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection District.
Seconded by Commissioner Minnis. Vote by roll call: Renzi, yes; Ruane, Seggebruch, Heinen, yes;
Minnis, yes; Kiefer, yes. Motion carried 6-0. DISCUSSION
