Commissioner Renzi made a motion to open a Public Hearing regarding the annexation of approximately
162 acres into the Village of Plainfield and a special use permit to allow a Planned Development of 450
unit mixed-residential development for the property located generally at the southwest corner of 127th St.
and Van Dyke Rd., commonly known as the Bronk Farm. Seconded by Commissioner Seggebruch.
Voice Vote. All in favor. 0 opposed. Motion carried 6-0.
Mr. Ding stated the applicant is requesting annexation by annexation agreement, as well as special use for
planned development, site plan review, and preliminary plat of subdivision to permit a proposed
residential development on approximately 162.8 acres south of 127th Street, west of Van Dyke Road, and
east of 248th Avenue. The Bronk Farm residential development consists of 332 single-family detached
dwelling units, 118 townhome dwelling units in 25 townhome buildings, and a central park site with a
community clubhouse.
Mr. Ding reviewed the staff report dated December 21, 2021. Mr. Ding concluded , staff believes the
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 proposed land plan and preliminary plat
comply with the objectives of the 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. Prior to such public comment and discussion by the Plan Commission,
staff recommends approval.

Mr. Proulx reiterated that this development will provide a second point of access for the Kings Crossing
subdivision, and Pulte has agreed to fix the existing ground water problem in the Kings Crossing
subdivision. Mr. Proulx introduced Steve Amann, Baxter Woodman, who is the Village engineer.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Russ Whitaker, attorney for applicant; Chris Morgart, Cemcom; and Matt
Brolley, Pulte. Mr. Whitaker gave a presentation on the development. Chairman Kiefer asked if the
clubhouse, pool and parks will be built in the first phase. Mr. Whitaker stated it is his expectation that it
will be built early in the development and shared the phasing plan.
Chairman Kiefer asked staff to explain the public hearing process because of the email received from
Nick. Mr. Proulx explained the public hearing requirements per State statute each include publication in
local newspaper, public hearing sign on the property and certified letters mailed to adjacent property
owners. Mr. Proulx also stated that the applicant went above and beyond the requirements with additional
public hearing signs placed on the property. Mr. Proulx explained a meeting schedule is published annual
for the Plan Commission and that the development process is continuous and the Village cannot put off
consideration of a development. Mr. Proulx added that Pulte had meetings with adjacent property owners
prior to this meeting which were coordinated by the applicant. Chairman Kiefer added that the Plan
Commission does not pick the cases that are presented, they are presented as received. Chairman Kiefer
also explained the Plan Commission is an advisory board and the Village Board has final approval for all
development.
Commissioner Heinen is in attendance.
Chairman Kiefer asked for public comment.
Chairman Kiefer swore Kevin McCauley, resident. Mr. McCauley asked why the lots on the Kings
Crossing side could not be the same size as the lots in Kings Crossing.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Beth Vargas, resident. Ms. Vargas stated she is one of the homes that is
fighting the water and is concerned if this development will really help her water problem.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Kevin Kroll, resident & Kings Crossing HOA President. Mr. Kroll stated he
has been fighting the water problem in the Kings Crossing subdivision for roughly 17 years. Mr. Kroll
explained his understanding of what is causing the water problem in Kings Crossing subdivision (see
attached documents from Mr. Kroll). Mr. Kroll indicated that the detention pond in Kings Crossing needs
to be fixed by the Village as well.
Chairman Kiefer asked staff and applicant if they would like to respond to the comments from the public.
Mr. Whitaker confirmed that they complied with the public hearing requirements and they held meeting
with the Kings Crossing and Wilding Point residences. Mr. Whitaker explained that there is the exact
same number of lots along Kings Crossing subdivision in the Bronk Farm development and it would be
impossible to match lot to lot because of the road configuration in Kings Crossing, so they created a 20
foot landscape buffer along the Kings Crossing subdivision which will be maintained by the Bronk Farm
HOA. Mr. Whitaker explained why larger lots do not produce greater revenue. Mr. Whitaker indicated
that Pulte is doing everything they can do to address the current stormwater issue in Kings Crossing.
Mr. Proulx understands the Village may need to play role in the Kings Crossing detention pond repairs
and this will all be part of the engineering review process for the Bronk Farm development.

Commissioner Heinen apologized for being late to the meeting and because he knew he would be late he
had a conversation with Chris Morgart at Cemcon about the stormwater issue in Kings Crossing prior to
the meeting. Commissioner Heinen believes what Pulte is proposing to do will help the stormwater issue
and he is in favor of the solution. Commissioner Heinen requested to be part of any further meetings
regarding the stormwater solution with the Village, Pulte, Cemcon, and Mr. Kroll.
Commissioner Minnis indicated overall he likes the plan. Commissioner Minnis asked if the entire Pod
of the Meadows was affected by the reconfiguration of the lot sizes. Mr. Whitaker stated the entire Pod
was affected and provided an explanation. Commissioner Minnis wants to confirm that traffic calming
measures were put in place per the staff report. Mr. Whitaker explained what traffic calming measures
were put in place, such as bulbs at intersection to narrow streets, striped on-street parking, and traffic
circles. Commissioner Minnis asked if they had enough parking for the clubhouse. Mr. Whitaker
explained there is plenty on-street parking and they designed the clubhouse parking so people will walk or
bike to the pool/clubhouse. Commissioner Minnis asked if there are road improvements being made on
Van Dyke Rd. Mr. Morgart stated there is an existing left turn lane that will need to be restriped and they
will not be adding a right turn lane. Commissioner Minnis asked to see a rendering of a 5-unit townhome.
Mr. Whitaker did not have one to present but explained the unique features of the townhomes they are
proposing to build. Chairman Kiefer asked if the townhomes will be on a slab. Mr. Whitaker confirmed
slab foundations for the townhomes. Commissioner Minnis would like less 5-unit townhomes which
would help bring down the density.
Commissioner Renzi explained his concern with missed opportunities to have road extensions to the
south and north, and he feels this an opportunity to have 248th Ave. extended to 95th St. Commissioner
Renzi agrees that the Village should assist with fixing the Kings Crossing detention pond. Commissioner
Renzi asked Mr. Amann if he agrees that there is an existing stormwater problem in the Kings Crossing
subdivision. Mr. Amann confirmed. Commissioner Renzi asked if the proposed solution by Pulte is the
first step to solving the stormwater problem in Kings Crossing. Mr. Amann agreed any lowering of the
detention pond in Kings Crossing will significantly help the problem. Commissioner Renzi asked how
much the detention pond needs to be lowered, so the problem will be manageable. Mr. Amann could not
provide a number now and explained why. Commissioner Heinen explained what Pulte needs to do to
meet the drainage law and how Pulte is going beyond the drainage law. Commissioner Renzi understands
but he is trying to make sure the issue is taken seriously. Mr. Amann explained the stormwater issue and
how those issues are be resolved. Commissioner Renzi asked the applicant to explain the option for
garage door windows. Mr. Brolley explained that not all home elevations offer a garage door with
windows, so it will be offered as an option. Commissioner Renzi asked if it will be an affordable option.
Mr. Brolley indicated they will be priced so they are competitive. Commissioner Renzi asked if the side
load garages will only be available in the Estates Pod. Mr. Whitaker stated side load garage will be
available in the Reserve Pod. Commissioner Renzi asked if there are key lots designated through the
entire development. Mr. Whitaker confirmed. Commissioner Renzi asked if there will be option for the
side load garage for the Estates and Meadows Pods. Mr. Brolley explained that the Estates and Meadows
Pods will be like the Northpointe subdivision with front load garages and the Reserve Pod will be unique
with standard side load garages. Commissioner Renzi appreciates the letter from Edwards Hospital
regarding the current need for a medical district in this area. Commissioner Renzi added his concern with
swapping non-residential with complete residential and not having a commercial.
Commissioner Seggebruch stated he is a resident of Kings Crossing, an adjacent property owner and is
the Vice President of the Will County Historic Preservation Commission. Commissioner Seggebruch
stated the property is still located in Will County and provided a history of the property. Commissioner

Seggebruch agrees that the traffic issue needs to be addresses and stormwater issue in Kings Crossing.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked Pulte to consider preserving the farmhouse by combining two lots and
explained how this could be an advantage to the development. Commissioner Seggebruch added if Pulte
is not able to save the farmhouse allowing the Village and Will County Historic Preservation
Commissions the ability to photograph and document the house before it is demolished or offering up the
house to be able to be moved to a different location. Commissioner Seggebruch provided a suggestion for
reconfiguring where the bike path connection is in the Reserve Pod, so they are not missing out on a
prime lot and still providing bike path connection. Commissioner Seggebruch has no changes to the
Estates lots. Commissioner Seggebruch feels the 20-foot landscape easement is a creative solution in the
Meadows Pod. Commissioner Seggebruch appreciate the help Pulte is providing with the stormwater
issue in Kings Crossing but feels that the Village will also need to get involved. Commissioner
Seggebruch has no comments regarding the townhome development pod. Commissioner Seggebruch
thinks the park and clubhouse look great. Commissioner Seggebruch explained why he is not ready to
vote on this application tonight.
Commissioner Valerga stated he does not have any questions and appreciates the outreach to the adjacent
subdivisions.
Chairman Kiefer is comfortable with moving this application forward with a commitment that the
applicant continues to work with staff on the commission’s comments and the stormwater issue.
Commissioner Heinen stated for the record that he and Mr. Whitaker have been communicating about
some of the issues he has. Commissioner Heinen does not want the Village to make a mistake with the
changing the use since a proportion it is designated Medical District on the comp plan. Chairman Kiefer
agrees but the comp plan was based on there being a full-service hospital. Commissioner Heinen does not
feel comfortable voting until the Village does more analysis. Mr. Proulx stated the Village will be
updating the comp plan and explained why a medical district might not materialize. Commissioner
Heinen wants us all to be confident because of the mistakes made in the past, he wants to make sure we
are thinking about 20 years from now with a higher population. Commissioner Heinen explained his
concerns regarding traffic and suggested the Village to investigate improvements to the intersection of
127th St. and 248th Ave. Commissioner Heinen wants Pulte to review at the traffic circle because he
believes it is undersized.
Mr. Whitaker presented a document regarding the easement rights between the Bronk Farm and the
Village of Plainfield and what is stated in the document. Commissioner Heinen asked if it is their clients
will not be prevued to the improvements to 127th St. and 248th Ave. because their client is paying the
recapture fee. Mr. Whitaker stated the traffic report provided states that the development does not require
additional capacity or improvements. Mr. Whitaker explained how the Bronk Farm will help the Kings
Crossing subdivision by adding an additional egress and how it may help other traffic in the area. Mr.
Whitaker also stated that if Edwards Hospital completes the improvements per their site plan, they will be
installing a traffic signal at the Edward campus entrance on 127th St. Commissioner Heinen just wants to
make sure there is a comfort level because of previously proposed developments issues were traffic.
Commissioner Heinen thinks the Village needs to see if there are potential solutions for the traffic at 127th
St. and 248th Ave.
Chairman Kiefer asked if the applicant has an interest in preserving the farmhouse. Mr. Whitaker stated
they are willing to evaluate all suggestions.

Mr. Whitaker provided information on local hospitals to provide a picture of what a full-service hospital
may look like on this site and how that could affect traffic in the area. Commissioner Heinen stated that
their main role as a commissioner is land use and are they making the right decision for land use, so he
wants to make certain that this is what the Village wants.
Chairman Kiefer asked if the applicant would like to come back to the commission or would like them to
take a vote. Mr. Whitaker asked what date the case will be continued to. Commissioner Renzi added it
has been requested they provide 5-unit townhome elevations, and he would like a summary of the
meeting between Mr. Kroll, the Village and Pulte regarding the stormwater discussion which is yet to be
schedule. Commissioner Seggebruch suggested to continue to January 18th. Commissioner Renzi asked
when the next Traffic Committee meeting is. Mr. Proulx stated the Traffic Committee has already
reviewed this plan and has provided their feedback. Mr. Proulx stated the Traffic Committee meets the
third Thursday of the month. Commissioner Renzi asked if the minutes from the Traffic Committee can
be made available. Mr. Proulx stated there are minutes from the meeting. Mr. Proulx also wanted to
address the traffic circle size and explained that it is the size of the traffic circle in Wilding Point which is
being used for traffic calming and not traffic control. Commissioner Heinen asked if this traffic circle is
functioning properly. Mr. Proulx confirmed and stated Public Works prefers them to narrowing of the
streets which was what was originally proposed by Pulte.
Commissioner Heinen asked the applicant if they need a vote tonight. Mr. Whitaker stated they would
like to break ground in the summer, but he wants a supportive vote from the Plan Commission, so they
are prepared for the case to be continued. Commissioner Heinen wants them to be able to stay on their
construction schedule but feels certain items need to be discussed before it moves forward.
Commissioner Seggebruch indicated that the commission needs more time to decide with all the details
presented this evening. Chairman Kiefer explained why he is willing to vote on the applicant tonight.
Commissioner Minnis made a motion to close the Public Hearing regarding the annexation of
approximately 162 acres into the Village of Plainfield and a special use permit to allow a Planned

NEW BUSINESS
1951-112421.CP LOT 2 PRAIRIE CREEK KREMER VETERINARY
SERVICES
Mr. Melrose stated the applicant, Kremer Veterinary Services, is seeking feedback from the Plan
Commission for the development of a new veterinary service building located on Lot 2 of the Prairie
Creek commercial subdivision immediately south of the WashU Car Wash fronting IL Route 59. Kremer
Veterinary Services is currently located in Plainfield at 24020 W Riverwalk Ct. less than one mile south
of the proposed development location in Prairie Creek. The vet service is looking to develop a new
building to assist in its expansion in the Village.
Mr. Melrose reviewed the staff report dated January 4, 2022. Mr. Melrose concluded the applicant and
staff seek the Plan Commission’s feedback as it relates to the proposed use and concept land plan
associated with the subject property.
Chairman Kiefer swore in Mike Mathias and Jason Sanderson, applicant’s architect. Mr. Mathias
explained what services they will be providing at this location. Mr. Mathias indicated that they are
willing to consider a second access point and egress to site south of their location.
Chairman Kiefer asked for public comment and there was no response.

Commissioner Heinen would like to have the egress connection to the lot south of this development and
encouraged the Village to continue interconnection for future large developments. Commissioner Heinen
stated this area of development does have any continuity in architecture and asked the applicant if it is
possible to try and bring some architectural continuity to this development.
Commissioner Minnis agrees with Commissioner Heinen’s comments. Commissioner Minnis wants the
applicant to make sure the yard space is large enough since they will be boarding dogs. Commissioner
Minnis explained what elevations will need to have more architectural detail because of the visibility on
Route 59.
Commissioner Renzi suggested sound proofing and feels that the “relief area” is not large enough.
Commissioner Renzi is concerned the trash enclosure location will not work for a garbage truck and
wants the trash enclosure to be shielded/concealed. Commissioner Renzi indicated about 60% of the
building will be viewable from Route 59 and would like articulation on the architecture. Commissioner
Renzi would like two access points, cross access easements, and continuity with the architecture with the
existing buildings. Commissioner Renzi asked if the hours of operation will be the same as the current
location. Mr. Mathias confirmed it will a 24-hour facility and explained how they mitigate the impact of
their development to an area. Commissioner Renzi asked how close the current location is to residential.
Mr. Sanderson stated the current location has no adjacent residential. Chairman Kiefer asked if the staff
will be on location 24-hours. Mr. Sanderson confirmed. Commissioner Renzi asked if there will be
indoor and outdoor security, if there are cameras will there be sound. Mr. Sanderson stated there will be
cameras and if sound is a condition, they don’t see it being a problem. Commissioner Renzi asked why
there is so much parking. Mr. Sanderson indicated the current location has a parking problem and they
are a busy operation, so they would rather have too much parking.
Commissioner Seggebruch asked staff if the applicant is over the parking requirement, if yes by how
much. Mr. Melrose stated they are over by roughly 20 parking spaces. Commissioner Seggebruch would
like to know how many parking spaces are at the current location. Chairman Kiefer stated all the parking
does not leave room for greenspaces and landscaping. Commissioner Heinen suggested a parking study.
Mr. Sanderson stated they want to meet the building and lot coverage and explained how they have done
future parking at other locations. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if Aldi is no longer moving forward
with this location. Mr. Melrose stated as of right now they are no longer moving forward with this
location and explained why. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if it even possible to have the cross-access
easement into the Aldi lot since the site plan has been approved, if they do decide to move forward. Mr.
Melrose stated it is possible since a final plat has not been approved. Mr. Sanderson is agreeable to cross-
access easements. Commissioner Seggebruch provided a suggestion on how to achieve the two access
points and how to enhance the architecture of the building. Mr. Sanderson described some of the
materials and landscaping they will use to enhance the builds appearance.
Commissioner Womack likes that there will be staff onsite 24-hours with the boarding component and
suggested providing the hours of operation of the “relief yard” with their future application.
Commissioner Womack asked if there was a reason, they only planned for a single access point. Mr.
Sanderson stated typically a location of this size they only plan for a single access point but are willing to
try to add another access point. Commissioner Womack provided a suggestion on how to accomplish
getting two access points and suggested they continue to work with staff. Commissioner Womack asked
if the boarding is only for animals receiving medical care. Mr. Sanderson stated there are two different
components to the boarding business; first is animals receiving care and the second for animals being
boarded because of owners traveling, etc. Commissioner Womack asked if any business will be

precluded from developing east of this development because of the “relief yard” location. Mr. Melrose
indicated this should not affect future development to the east.
Commissioner Valerga asked what percentage of the building will be for boarding. Mr. Sanderson
indicated that a third of the building will be for boarding.
Commissioner Goins asked if the pet owners will be able to have the pets relieve themselves before they
enter the facility. Mr. Sanders explained there will still be an area for this.
Commission Nicholson had nothing further to add.
Commissioner Minnis asked the applicant to explain where the medical and boarding services entrances
will be located. Mr. Sanderson explained where the separate entrances will be located. Commissioner
Minnis is concerned about animals not being able to run out onto Route 59.
Commissioner Minnis made a motion to forward a recommendation in support of the proposed concept
plan for the Kremer Veterinary Services development.
Second by Commissioner Valerga. Vote by roll call: Heinen, yes; Minnis, yes; Renzi, yes; Seggebruch,
yes; Valerga, yes; Womack, yes; and Kiefer, yes. Motion carried 7-0.
