030246
relative to PC 03-09, 129-143 W. St. Charles Road, requesting that the Village take the |
following actions on the subject property located within the B5 Central Business District: |
1. Approve a conditional use for a planned development with the following exceptions |
and deviations: |
a. A use exception to allow less than fifty percent (50%) of the area of the ground floor |
to be devoted to uses permitted in the B5 Central Business District; (Ordinance on |
Second Reading) |
b. A deviation from Section 155.416 (M) reducing the required number of off-street |
parking spaces. (Tabled 5/1/03) |
The Board members temporarily took over at this point to discuss the issue. |
Dave Hulseberg explained that staff believed that there was consensus of the Board for |
the developer to come up with ten parking spaces. Mr. Hulseberg stated that Fifth/Third |
Bank would lease nineteen spaces, on a five year lease, for $3,000 per space, with a |
ninety day termination clause for either party. If Fifth/Third Bank terminated, the Village |
would be obligated to find other spaces. He said that $30,000 would go into escrow and |
if the spaces are not required, the balance of the escrow would go to Norwood. He said |
that Norwood is agreeable to this. |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5303 129- |
Paula Dillon, 123 W. St. Charles Road, #301, stated that she is serving as the President |
of the Association in the Parkview building, but her comments are based on individual |
beliefs. She said that she has had ongoing dialogue with staff on the downtown |
development. She said she is in favor of progress and new retail in the area. She stated |
that she moved into the downtown area because of the easy commute to the city but |
she was concerned about the issue of parking. She commented that each of the owners |
in her building have a deeded space in the building for parking, with twelve outside |
spaces dedicated to their building, and the remaining parking is shared with the Texan |
Barbeque and condos. She said she was concerned that the first floor retail would |
further the parking issues. She explained how her building is liable for any injuries |
sustained in the parking lot, regardless of who parks there. She said that she is very |
proud of living in Lombard and asked the Trustees to consider the long term picture |
regarding parking. |
Trustee Florey said that this is not an ideal situation and the priority should be the |
residents of the building. He asked Mr. Hulseberg about the available parking spaces. |
Mr. Hulseberg answered that there are forty three inside spaces, thirty nine for each |
condo owner with four available for purchase by owners, and fourteen outside spaces. |
Trustee Florey thought that dedicating all of the spaces on the property to the building |
would get the best owners and the ten spots in the bank lot should go to commercial |
spaces. |
Mr. Hulseberg said that there would be nineteen spaces available at the bank. |
Trustee Florey said that the spaces at the bank lot would be a good ten spots for |
businesses with nine for overflow. |
Trustee Soderstrom believed that Trustee Florey's suggestion to designate fourteen |
spaces on site to the residents was a good idea He said that if the development had all |
of the spots that were needed, we wouldn't be in this situation and he would not |
entertain the thought of the developer gaining from the sale of the fourteen spaces. He |
felt that the full face value of those spaces should go to the Village. He said that a |
minimum of $3,000.00 would help to offset the Village's cost of leasing other spots. |
Trustee DeStephano said that she is very excited about this development, but she |
thought that the arrangement with the bank was temporary and inadequate. She said |
she would like to see staff to take a look at the market value for parking. She mentioned |
that they pay in Downers Grove. She thought that $42,000 was too low, that amount |
should be $5,000 to $7,000 per stall, and she doesn't believe that the developer should |
profit at the expense of the residents. She would like to see the money go into a parking |
bank or see a parking garage. She wanted the market value of parking to be brought |
back before the Board. |
Trustee Koenig was concerned about the long term issues as well as the short term |
issues regarding parking. She said she would like to see the developer make the |
fourteen spaces available for the building and provide ten spaces in a more permanent |
way. She said that she is not concerned with how the developer comes up with it. She |
thought that two spaces is what they can offer but the developer has to find space for |
the commercial users for their building. |
Trustee Soderstrom said that if the developer sells the spaces, that money should be |
paid to the Village, and the Village could bank it to pay for leased spots. He questioned |
why the developer should make more money on a problem that the developer created. |
Trustee Soderstrom asked what if the developer were to sell the spaces for $70,000. |
Trustee Koenig said the Village could receive $50,000 so the Village could provide ten |
spaces for the downtown area. |
President Mueller said that there were 57 parking spaces of the 58.5 needed. He said |
the condos need for parking would be met, but as the development of the downtown |
area takes place, we will experience the same issues that Elmhurst, Wheaton, and Glen |
Ellyn has faced, and banking of parking should be looked at. |
Mr. Hulseberg said that if the condo owners do not need the additional spaces, then we |
do not set the fund. |
Trustee Florey mentioned that 1.5 is the standard and the developer should meet this |
standard. |
Trustee Soderstrom said that the total spots necessary is sixty seven and he was sure |
all fifty seven would be used by residents or commercial parking. He said that if it is not |
used, it would open up space that we won't need across the street. |
Mr. Hulseberg said the intention is the condo owners only have one car and four owners |
could purchase one additional spot, all inside the building and fourteen spaces outside |
for commercial parking. |
Trustee DeStephano said that the reality is the parking is needed. She said the Village |
needs to address a parking garage or more sites. |
Trustee Soderstrom asked Mr. Hulseberg to get to the code of 1.5 standard, get the |
additional fourteen spaces at grade level for the residents and get the ten spaces for the |
commercial parking. |
President Mueller said that 57 residential spaces were available and 58.5 were needed, |
and confirmed that this was acceptable for the condo development, and directed staff to |
proceed with coming up with additional ten spaces for commercial parking. |
President Mueller spoke of establishing a formula for banking for commercial spaces |
and asked staff to go back to the developer to work out a plan and determine market |
value of the parking. |
Trustee Soderstrom suggested tabling this so staff can work it out with the developer. |
He suggested the fair market value for parking be determined and multiplied by the ten |
spaces that are needed, and that is the amount of money that should go to the Village. |
Mr. Lichter asked for clarification in the event that the developer offers the spaces for |
sale, and no one purchases them, would the Village still ask for compensation from the |
developer regardless of whether he sells them or not. |
Trustee Koenig said that the end concern is that ten spaces are needed and |
compensation should only be for ten spaces. |
President Mueller suggested moving forward with the fifty seven current spaces for |
residential use with ten more needed for commercial use, and also find the cash value of |
the ten spaces needed. |
Trustee DeStephano wished to see the fair market value of the spaces before voting. |
Mr. Lichter asked, if the developer, in reviewing his site plan, finds additional spaces on |
site, would the Board be looking for compensation on less spaces. |
President Mueller said no green space was to be eliminated. |
Trustee DeStephano said that setbacks between the two buildings have been |
questioned and asked if the layout of the building would change. |
Mr. Lichter said changes could be made in landscaping and the like. |
Trustee Soderstrom said there should be no change to the site plan. |
Trustee Florey felt that this needed to be tabled to the next meeting. |
President Mueller directed staff that the spaces are satisfactory for the residential condo |
development, and the Village would be asking for compensation from the developer for |
commercial spaces. |
Trustee Florey clarified that we are tagging the residential shortfall onto the eight spaces |
for commercial parking. |
Mr. Lichter asked if the Board wanted compensation rather than the developer finding |
the ten spaces. |
President Mueller said that if the developer bought the property from Fifth/Third Bank, |
the Village doesn't need the compensation. |
Trustee Koenig said that it would be better in the long run if we have a bigger parking |
area controlled by the Village. |
President Mueller asked the Board members to envision where a parking garage would |
be. He said that several years ago, he proposed buying the Zitt property for a parking |
lot, but the Board did not want to purchase it. He stated that it would be quite a while |
before the Village could develop something. |
It was moved by Trustee Florey, seconded by Trustee DeStephano, to table PC |
03-09, 129-143 W. St. Charles Road, to the regular Board Meeting of June 5, 2003. |
The motion carried by the following vote: |

Student Director of Community Development, Michelle Avila, explained the request. for |
the variation. She said that staff finds the request meets requirements, is not injurious to |
neighboring properties, and the encroachment would not be not increased. |
Jim Ireland, 314 W. Windsor, went over the proposals regarding the open front porch |
with a slight expansion of the porch to the west, and the second story addition on rear of |
house, with a 2 foot overhang to the east. He said there would be 6 inches to a foot |
encroachment to the side yard setback. He mentioned that the people that are most |
impacted are the neighbors to east, but they are not opposed. He said that other |
residents have been notified, and the neighbor on west also has no opposition. He |
stated that Trustees Sebby. Soderstrom and DeStephano have looked at the property |
and they are all unopposed to it. |
Trustee Florey stated that the addition may need six inches to one foot, the Board was |
being asked to grant only six inches, and the petitioner may need one foot later. |
Mr. Ireland explained the plat. |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5293 314 W |
Trustee Florey suggested that the petitioner give himself some leeway. |

ways for officers to write reports from their squad cars, directly into a database. It was |
mentioned that 50% of accidents happen on state roadways. She mentioned that school |
would be ending soon and cautioned the public about speeding autos in residential |
areas and around parks in Lombard. She said they are analyzing the future manpower |
needs based on population growth which may necessitate patrol zones. |
Update from the Finance Department
Student Director of Finance Shevy Booze, stated that the fiscal year was ending on May |
31, 2003, the department was preparing the annual audit, and that GASB was being |
implemented one year early. |
Update from the Village Manager's Office

wellness fair, that included healthcare providers, plan administrators, health risk |
assessments, vision and hearing screenings and blood pressure screenings. He said |
there were fifty six individuals who chose to participate in the Health Risk Assessments. |
Staff would analyze the data and a follow up report would be given in the following |
months. |
Discussion of Items as Submitted by Glenbard East Students
Student President Katie Sperlik addressed the parking issue at Glenbard East High |
School to Trustee Soderstrom. She commented that she had to get up very early to get |
a spot to park, and people are parking in the Jewel and Enchanted Castle parking lots, |
and getting ticketed and towed. She suggested a parking garage. |
Trustee Soderstrom said that the issue of parking around the high school and the need |
for additional parking are important, but so are needs of the residents in area. He said |
he would be happy to talk with the school administration, and his first objective would be |
to have additional parking on site. He explained how parking restrictions are come by. |
He stated that if the students or the faculty have any suggestions, the Transportation |
and Safety Committee would be happy to entertain their suggestions. |
Student Village Manager Melanie Fedirka asked if there was parking that could be |
leased from Enchanted Castle, as their parking lot is not used during the day. |
Trustee Soderstrom said this may be a possibility but it would have to go through the |
developer. |
There was a mention in jest of underground parking under the tennis courts or a parking |
garage on the non-existant Dan Tani Way. |
Trustee Soderstrom said that these are all good ideas, but that funding is an issue. |
Student President Sperlik thanked Principal Maria Ward and Mr Carter for the |
opportunity to be here this evening. |
President Mueller said that the students did an excellent job. He thanked them and said |
that each year this sends a message to everyone that there are intelligent, bright young |
people in the community. He said he is proud of them thanked them for their |
participation, and wished them much success. |
