how they would exit and then go back east on Roosevelt. Jan - they could exit highland

and then turn right on Roosevelt. RO - could be dangerous. She explained how she

thought the traffic circulation would go and thats why they had the canopy betwen the

parking and dispensers to allow more space. RO - underground vaul in addition to

detention pond. Fontana - all detention wll have oversized underground storm sewers to

allow for additional water to be collected and released and not overtax the sewer

system.

that the engineering will work on site. Planning - compa plan identifies neighborhood

commercial use and the proposed use is more consistent. the surrounding land uses -

he described the last use and its history - this is less intesen and be better use for site.

Zoning history - union 76 which was a permitted use. the auto service remained on

premises. # of cu with this petition. Gasoline sales - provides for smoother flow - most

traffic entering from 22nd street. petiitioner states not a 24 hr. facility nor will outdoor

sales will not be conducted. Car Wash - conveyor type of ststem, sufficent queing, but

the fence ont he north side should it ever be removed a condition that it would be

variations provide signifacnt buffer from the adjacent properties and additional green

space. Requested sign ordinance deviations for canopy and wall singage on petitioners

plans. no text or symbols on nort5h side due to properties to the north. All citgo signs

BH - staff looked at the 6 ' solid wall, the concern or a trade off RS - maybe break it up

woith another color . Also, the some electricty available of the highway vehciles does

the company giave any????????

better looking fences. LIke the positionin of the car wash so there wont be

lines of traffice

MB - Questioned the recommendation for landscaping and whether that should be a

comdition BH - will be provided by code.

Laura Swicki, Equiva Services, Schaumburg, on behalf of Shell Oil. We were requested

thru village to volunatrity proeprty at R & M. have worked with staff and have agreedd to

voluntiraily annex and agree to conditions in staff report and look forward to working with

village.

No on e to speak for

Nancy Marrick, Schhol street, speaking on behalf of her mother. Was cocnfused by the

drawing that was drawn and wondering if that wwas all there was to it. want to make

sure no other changes or expansion and jhust annexation and water. 20 homes have

no water, serwes and would like to be annexed with the shell station everyone else has

and we are excluded.

Laura rebutted that the only thing they were prosing to address annexation and water

and have no other plans or changes or expansion.

Margaret gave staff. she gave location and one of several proposed annexation along

the corridor. property contingous via church located to the east. the property developed

as shell with car wash and conveient mart. she gave th locations of each and no site

imrpvoments associatied with this petition. She gave IDRC comments. Planning - CC

and complies. Surrounding land uses - includes wide variety of uses and complies.

Zoning Ordinance - She gave the request and gave a history of the county approval in

1984. staff belives the request are appropriateand the site is well mainteed,

logicaldesign and 2 lots are acceptable. Signage - she descirbed all the signs are the

location and stated they are appropriate with gas stations in the past. Freestanding sign

in clear line of site - she gave dimenstions - a portion of property taken for right of way

improvements. sign is now partially located on row. it does not cause a clear line of site

due to its location on a hill. Staff recomends a administrative plat of ocndolidation

cvombining the site into one.

staff recommends approval of request with conditions.

No comments.

Natalie Grindell representing Sign Company. Petitieron request sign code to sllow

electrinic sign board. want to hhave an attracctive sign will get rid of existing sign and

will improve and enhance sign. No requesting anything allowed by code and the

proposed sign is much less than code. Can havemanual message but no electronic

message board. the manual boards fall into disrepar more often, the lED is more slkeek

, self contained, and have a better appearance. the manual letter usually are gone,

subjec to vandalism. this is aesthice and provides more than manual boards. you can

communication more town things that themanual boards cannot do. think that the lED

look nicer than the manual ones do.

Owner of facility, enjoyed being memeber of community, and have rehabbed building

and this is the next step in improving the building.

No one for or against. Margaret gave the request. She gave the dimensations and

deceibed the sign that is being proposed. She gave what is allowable by code.

Theproperty has width of 67'. No ocmments. Planning - comp plan the use complies -

Surrounding land uses - 4 manual change copy signs along Rooseelt Road located on

north side. Heritage has a sign allowed by code. Staff believes that the proposed ign is

not compitable with surrounding alnd uses. Compatibility with Zoning and Sign

Ordinance - Read from staff report. Landscaping Requirements - should the petitioner

received approval of their request signage landscaping will be required. She responded

to the p[etitioner's responses and offered staff's responses. Read from the staff report.

Staff believes that a hardship is proved and they can meet code by instaling alternative

signage that is consistent with code.

2. Read off report. The petiitieorn's property is typical of the B4 properties along

Roosevelt and most do not meet min. lot width and requirements.

3. ordinance has not caused the hardship as the signage requirement is applied

consistently.

?Alternative to changable copy isng would be to construct a freestanding sign or a

chnageable coy sign that compli9es with code. Staff finds that sign built to code would

provide adequate visiability and staff ofered the recommendations that comply with sign

ordinance.. They can construct a larger freestanding sign, increase the height of the

sign, stagger the location of sign,

4, grantin gthis request will be determental to the public welfare and injurous to other

property .

Staff recommends denial.

Commissioners: RS - The intne to ordinacne is to "limit the sign to larger commercial

developmenets and want to udnerstand whay that is the case. the requirements is so

that the sign and its potention for changing and moving wouldn't be too distracting?

Gibbs yes to limit to larger developments, if the small lots could have it would be

distracting factor. RS - there is a variety of ways started to agtee with reocmmendation

but could have a sign that reads the same but what do the

Margaret 2 seconde intervals without changing messages. code has limit to turnover

and clutter. RS - could be limited further if there wwss a variation. BH - it oculd be done

one of the larger issues does change the nature of the corridor. we look at if it was

allowed p-er code and you see a series of illuminating signs and creates an additional

glow and illimuniation and does detract from overall effective ness of the corridor.

Ryan - if small lots starting putting them up concerned about traffic injuries and

conditions is trying to read.

RO - cased some concern - the rational with smaller properties is limited and will have a

circus atmosphere along the corridor compared to the larger lots size. they are on a

very small lot and could set a precedence.

SZ could be very overwhelming and could be distracted. SF - agreee creatinga

precedence. MB - cocncur wtih RO settting precedence and also with aesthics.

Rich Reichert, Menardsof Lombard, here to request 2 cond. uses at the Rohlwing road

location for propert zoning for a licensened motor vehcile seller. the stateo fo illinois

requires licensed trailers to be approved by village. the second use is to retail sales and

storage in front of store . the display would include switnsets, snow throwers, lawn

mowers and willl behcanaged on seasonability. store is large but most menards have

display outside. one time a year they erequest a separate license for christmas tree

sales. will comply with 4' walk. The trailers will be displayed and will have only 6. None

of products will be in \parking lot and all displays will be covered.

No one to speak for or aginst.

Heniff gave staff report. Mendards 2 cond. uses. defined the motor vehcile in the

ordinance. He also gave the second request. named the items that will be stored

outside near stores entrance. Compat. with comp plan - already on premises and is

cmopitable. Surrounding land uses - compitable. Zoning ordinacne - outdorr sales

through a temporary use permit. since the ability to display products outdoors

throughout the year, a conditional use permit is being sought. No passenger vehciles

thsese vehicles are similair to what are sold at other stores and other menards. they are

plated and regulated by state and they look to localmun to sign off on it which brought

this to the forefront. These trailsers are 5x5 and pulled by tractors or by motorized

vehicles. staff is supportive provieded that the conditional use ofr motor vehicles sales

is limited to the sale of assembled trailers. Staff recommends approval subjec to

conditions.

RO - the the 4th point in staff report - 4 of walkway shall lbe provieded - is that a code

requirements or is a policy? BH - ADA requiresments even though this is private

property we need to to allow for this. RO - will be the 4 feet togheter ? BH is has to be

allowed. RO - assume the outside yard it curbside because it can't be in parking lot. BH

yes. it will not be within the parking lot.

First Church of Lombard - Site improvements located at Main and Maple. proposal

subject to pc meeting somethime later in 2002. would like to get thoughts. He gave the

current site improvements on the lots, as well as the historic significance. A new church

was constructed on the south end of the site that is now the functional church. the

changes involve constructiing anew addition that would connect the church with the old.

the parking lot would be expanded by demolsihing the single family homes . To facilitate

the developement he mentione dthe reequired actions. STaff's preliminary thoughts

were: See page 2. First it must be architecturally compitable . the building addiitonal

should be set back an approproiate distance.

cross access betwen parking lots .

Staff is seeking input from the PC on this issue. to share with petitioner

RO - his thought is that if they receive a petition, he would like to see a letter that this

additiona to the original church will not jeoparide a historical landmark. Will be against if

it would jeoparize its historical status.

RS - streetsacpe should remain consistent. any thought as to what kind of materials

and how that could work. or will you wait till they show you something and then react?

BH - it will be an arch challenge. one option is deolition and pulling it out that way. we

are going to closely work with thjem and meet theg oal that is compitable whether the

way you look at it.

Ryan - trouble with visualizing where the additional will be ? BH where the playgorund

areas is they would bring it out to the north. Off of Maple. Would be against bringing it

closer to Main Street.

RS - more space ffor the drive off ofmain street. BH right. RS - if that stays the same

there is only one laneand one point for traffic exit onto Ash and when they increase the

parking I don't think that would be safe. SF - need cross access with historical society.

might want to mandate cross access.
