4. Public Hearings
Preliminary P.U.D.
Potter’s
63 West Washington Street
Applicant: JLAT, LLC
Project No: 965.17
Project Manager: Bethany Salmon
Motion: Commissioner Stine, second Commissioner Holmstrom to open the Public Hearing at 7:09 p.m.
Ayes: Commissioners Cirone, Holmstrom, Garland, Stine
Nays: None
Absent: Commissioner Kuhn and Commissioner Pajor
Motion carried
Ms. Salmon presented the staff report stating that the applicant is requesting approval of Preliminary P.U.D. to allow for the construction of a one-story restaurant building with a two-story outdoor patio at 63 W. Washington Street (Route 34) and an excavated basement. The project will entail demolishing the existing building on-site that has been vacant since 2014. The property is currently owned by the Village however the Village Board did approve a purchase and sales agreement with the applicant in May of 2017. The property is currently zoned in our B-1 zoning district and a proposed restaurant use is permitted in this district. The project will achieve several goals in the Village downtown development plan and is consistent with the 2015 Comprehensive Plan. The project will require relief from current zoning regulations. Deviations will include reducing the front- yard and rear-yard setbacks, allowing an outdoor patio fencing to be located in the front- yard, allowing parking to be located off-site, and reducing the landscape requirements.
Ms. Salmon stated there are a few technical issues with the site plan and the elevations that were submitted, partly because the Village is currently studying construction and engineering plans for the entire block. The plans being reviewed for the block include a shared parking lot and completely re-engineering the block with the alley and new utilities and improved stormwater management. The plan improvements may change and modify some of the building elevations on the site plan for Potter’s. Staff is working with the petitioner and any changes will be reviewed with the Final P.U.D. process.
Ms. Salmon stated the site plan includes a single one-story building with a two-story outdoor seating area and an excavated basement. There will be almost zero setbacks with this project, and staff does support this deviation from the code requirements to accommodate the downtown design. The ground floor will include the restaurant dining area, a bar, a kitchen and restrooms. The basement, which will be used for employees only, consists of storage and a utility room. There will be dual public entrances for the building from both the front on Washington Street and the rear. There are currently two doors on the rear of the building on the alley, one of which will be for the excavated basement for the employees and the other on the ground floor where the restaurant will be located. A deviation from the code is required for the outdoor patio. The current zoning ordinance in the commercial district prohibits front yards unless approved as part of the P.U.D. process. The fence in this case is part of the outdoor patio and staff does support this deviation.
Ms. Salmon stated the zoning ordinance would require a total of 35 parking spaces. In this case all required parking will be located off-site. There is public on-street parking located on the adjacent Main Street, Van Buren Street, and other surrounding blocks in our downtown area. The Village is currently studying the public parking lot to the rear of this building on the vacant lot located at 110 S. Adams Street. That parking lot will become a shared site for Potter’s and the surrounding businesses in the area.
Ms. Salmon stated the building elevation features a flat roof with a raised parapet and is compatible with surrounding buildings on the block and within the downtown. The second floor patio is about 500 square feet and the ground floor patio is almost 3,000 square feet. There is little landscaping on-site because it is a downtown project versus a more suburban oriented project. At this time staff does not have a detailed signage plan but we do have some conceptual signs from the petitioner. Staff will work with the petitioner moving forward with signage approval in the Final P.U.D. process.
Staff is of the opinion that the applicant has met the standards for the Planned Unit Development and the recommended motion and conditions are included in the meeting packet.
Commissioners Comments: Commissioner Holmstrom asked to clarify if the patio will be located right on the sidewalk and will extend all the way to the front. Ms. Salmon confirmed as of right now, yes.
Commissioner Cirone asked about the location of the stairs and voiced concern that the area is pretty tight there already. Ms. Salmon advised there may be some adjustments in the future with the Final P.U.D. There also maybe a mid-block connection to the alley from Washington Street which could change some of the access for the site.
Commissioner Stine asked about the size of the sidewalk. Staff advised they are currently working on the engineering for the entire block and possible changes to the retaining wall.
Commissioner Cirone asked if the building would be close to Firehouse Pizza’s building, and if there are any issues with the location. Ms. Salmon advised the Village is currently working with Firehouse Pizza regarding the whole block’s improvements.
The Commissioners discussed the entrance and ADA space and ramp in the front of the building, and that there will be no ADA access to the balcony.
Andrew Trassat was sworn in Naperville, IL
Mr. Trassat is the applicant for the project. Mr. Trassat stated they are still negotiating through changes regarding the whole block’s redevelopment and will be cooperating with Firehouse Pizza and the Village. Mr. Trassat has been working with the civil engineer to get the grading more compatible so there will not be so many stairs. Mr. Trassat stated there have been funding issues with the county that they are working through.
Commissioner Cirone mentioned the patio is quite large. Mr. Trassat advised their Oswego location would have a large patio measuring approximately 3,000 square feet. Mr. Trassat would like to have an area for a band in the future and the bar will be centrally located with access on all four sides.
Commissioner Stine asked if the patio is 1,000 square feet larger than the location in Naperville. Mr. Trassat confirmed yes, almost twice as large.
No additional members of the audience wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
Motion: Commissioner Stine, second Commissioner Cirone to close the Public Hearing at 7:13 p.m.
Ayes: Commissioners Cirone, Holmstrom, Garland, Stine
Nays: None
Absent: Commissioner Kuhn and Commissioner Pajor
Motion carried
Recommendation: Motion: Commissioner Stine, second Commissioner Cirone motion to accept findings of fact and recommends approval of the Preliminary PUD for Potter’s Place, located at 63 W. Washington Street, subject to the following conditions:

Motion: Commissioner Garland, second Commissioner Stine to open the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m.
Ayes: Commissioners Cirone, Holmstrom, Garland, Stine
Nays: None
Absent: Commissioner Kuhn and Commissioner Pajor

Director Zenner stated the petitioner is requesting a Special Use Permit for the cemetery for the property and a Variance for a fence which was discussed before the Plan Commission and the Village Board previously and had been recommended for denial. The petitioner has a right to appeal within 45 days. Staff and petitioner have decided to process the Variance again as part of the whole process for the cemetery Special Use Permit. There will be no vote due to a lack of quorum, but the public is invited to speak. There will be a formal presentation on December 7th.
Audience Comments: Frank Carney was sworn in Oswego, IL
Mr. Carney stated he has emailed everyone about the issue and was advised by Mr. Zenner that there would be no quorum for the hearing tonight. Mr. Carney is strongly opposed to the project and asked that the wishes of the community take precedence over the wishes and desires of a few elected officials so that the community can enjoy the park.
Norma Lucatorto was sworn in Oswego, IL
Ms. Lucatorto stated she strongly opposes the Special Use Permit and wants the park maintained and turned back into a park versus a cemetery. Ms. Lucatorto states that the property is a park and believes it should be a park since the land was donated to the Park District. Ms. Lucatorto stated there is a petition that the community wants to keep the park.
No additional members of the audience wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
Motion: Commissioner Stine, second Commissioner Garland to close the Public

Variance:
Metronet Hut Sound Barrier Fence
378 Ogden Falls Boulevard
Applicant: Metronet Fibernet LLC
Project No: 983.17
Project Manager: Bethany Salmon
Motion: Commissioner Garland, second Commissioner Stine to open the Public Hearing at 7:24 p.m.
Ayes: Commissioners Cirone, Holmstrom, Garland, Stine
Nays: None
Absent: Commissioner Kuhn and Commissioner Pajor
Motion carried
Ms. Salmon presented the staff report stating that the applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to allow for three (3) sound barrier fence panels measuring fifteen (15) feet in height to be installed north of the Metronet communications equipment shelter located at 378 Ogden Falls Boulevard. The sound barrier fence exceeds the six (6) foot maximum height allowed for a fence in a residential zoning district. The 1.5 acre property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residence District which is currently improved with a well house, water tower, a communication equipment shelter and other public service utilities.
Ms. Salmon stated that previous Special Use Permits were approved to allow for these public utilities on site, and the most recent Special Use Permit was approved in November 2016 which allowed for Metronet to operate and lease a portion and then to construct the communications equipment shelter currently at the location. Some neighbors expressed concern about the noise being generated from the shelter when the site was constructed. The Village confirmed at that time that the noise exceeded the allowable noise level under the Noise Control Regulations. In response, Metronet obtained building permit for the installation of the sound barrier fence between where the shelter is located and the residential properties to the north.
Ms. Salmon stated the fence includes three (3) panels with each section measuring twelve (12) feet wide and fifteen (15) feet in height. The fence is located five (5) feet to the south of the existing chain-link fence and five (5) feet north of the equipment shelter. The Variance is for fifteen (15) feet in height which exceeds the six (6) foot maximum height allowed for a fence in an R-1 residential zoning district. Staff is of the opinion that the approval of the proposed variance will benefit the surrounding residential properties by reducing the noise levels and will allow Metronet to comply with the Village Noise Control Regulations.
Commissioners Comments:
Commissioner Holmstrom asked about the construction material of the fence. Ms. Salmon advised it is three (3) wood fence panels dog-eared style and should take care of the noise problem.
Commissioner Cirone stated it was nice to see that the Village and Metronet are addressing the concerns of the community and taking action.
Commissioner Stine asked how long the fence had been in place. Staff replied approximately one month.
Commissioner Garland asked what was driving the noise.
Arthur Cofield, Jr was sworn in Plainfield, IL
Dale Smith was sworn in Bolingbrook, IL
Mr. Cofield is the representative for the applicant, Metronet. Mr. Cofield stated the noise was driven by the air conditioner unit that keeps the equipment cool. The fence was designed as a U-shape that forces the noise to redirect to the field where the ComEd utility space is. The decibels have been lowered since the installation of the fence.
No additional members of the audience wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
Motion: Commissioner Garland, second Commissioner Cirone to close the Public Hearing at 7:26 p.m.
Ayes: Commissioners Cirone, Holmstrom, Garland, Stine
Nays: None
Absent: Commissioner Kuhn and Commissioner Pajor
Motion carried
Recommendation:
Motion: Commissioner Cirone, second Commissioner Stine to accept the findings of fact for the Standards for a Variance and recommends approval of the variance to allow for three (3) sound barrier fence panels measuring fifteen (15) feet in height to be installed north of the Metronet communications equipment shelter located at 378 Ogden Falls Boulevard.

Concept Plan Review:
The Springs
Prairie Market Lot 5
Applicant: Continental 4524 Fund LLC
Project No: 982.17
Project Manager: Rod Zenner
Director Zenner stated the applicant is requesting approval of a concept plan to allow for the development of 320 apartment units on a 27.48 acre parcel located in the Prairie Market development located just south of the commercial area right behind the Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods. In 2005, the Village approved the annexation agreement which allowed for 210 townhomes on the 32.8 acre site. The petitioner is proposing to develop 16 apartment buildings containing 20 units per building for a total of 320 units.
Director Zenner stated there is a single access point out onto 5th Street but there will be a second access point connected to the Vitality project that was approved a year ago by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Vitality project is currently on hold for funding.
Director Zenner stated the Springs project will be a gated community with private streets. The site plan contains both attached and detached garages for the units, parking lots, and pet play areas. The entire site will contain fencing around the property. The petitioner is proposing a vinyl coated chain-link fence. Staff is recommending the fence be more of a decorative style fence to provide an architectural look.
Director Zenner stated the units will be two-story buildings with a mix of stone and siding. One side of the building will have attached garages for residents and the other exterior will have a more pedestrian design. The original proposal was for multi-family development for townhomes. Staff is recommending approval of overall use.
Director Zenner stated the density proposed is 11.6 units per acre. The original townhome proposed was approximately 6.4 units per acre. Staff is looking at the impact of the density.
Director Zenner stated staff reviewed the population generation of the townhomes versus the proposed apartments. Townhomes generate more population per unit than apartments. However when considering 210 units versus 320 units, the total population increases from 502 people to 600. School-age population is another consideration. Townhomes will generate more school-age population than apartments. Population generation is fairly close between the townhomes and apartments.
Director Zenner stated traffic generation is where staff does see some difference between the townhomes versus apartments. Staff took the IT standards for generic calculations. A traffic study has not been specifically done for this project yet. Daily traffic for the 210 townhomes is about 1,200 vehicles in and out of the site daily. The 320 apartment units would generate about 2,000 vehicle trips per day. If the number of apartment buildings was reduced by one (1) or two (2), the traffic impact goes down and is more in keeping with what the original proposal was. There are 20 units per building, so staff is recommending the removal one (1) or two (2) buildings from the overall project to bring the overall impact more in keeping what the site was originally approved to be. This concept plan will need to come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing for Preliminary and Final P.U.D. approval.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed concept plan with the following recommendations:
• Reduce the number of units to 260-280 to bring the estimated total population in line with the originally approved townhome use for the site
• Provide additional buffer between the buildings and the southern/eastern property lines to provide more landscape space for buildings 2, 3, 4, and 5
• Replace the proposed chain-link fencing with a more decorative fencing material.
Gwen Wheeler
Menomonee Falls, WI
Ms. Wheeler is the representative for the applicant Continental Properties. Ms. Wheeler presented a Power Point presentation and stated they develop, own and manage all of their Springs communities. Statements provided in presentation include:
• The Springs will be a high quality, market rate, gated and fenced community
• Conventionally financed with private equity partners
• The Springs will provide 320 units with a mix of studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom offerings
• Unit sizes range from 623 square feet to 1,430 square feet
• The Springs is of a compatible scale to adjacent lower density residential
• Site amenities include:
• Clubhouse w/ large multipurpose space
• Outdoor pool & grilling area
• 24-hour tenant fitness center
• Outdoor seating areas
• Pet playground
• Car wash
• Pet spa
• All visible fencing from public right-of-way will be decorative
• The propose Chain link fencing is a high quality black vinyl coated fencing
• The shape of the site dictates a disproportionate amount of perimeter fencing
Ms. Wheeler stated to date Continental Properties has developed over 18,500 units across the country in 18 states. They do not have any third party management of their multi-family development units; it is all Continental employees on site. They were attracted to Oswego because of the projected population growth. Ms. Wheeler compared the new Springs proposal to the existing Farmington Lakes property that is over fifteen (15) years old. Continental Properties believes that the population increase will support the existing retail markets with the high end residents they attract. They believe Oswego is a highly educated community with high disposable incomes.
Ms. Wheeler is requesting an amendment to the existing P.U.D. from 210 townhomes to allow 320 apartments. Ms. Wheeler stated they will have fewer school-aged children, however they will still pay the same impact fee per unit that a townhome project would. Their proposal reduces the number of buildings from 38 to 16 and would be a significant financial contribution to the Village.
Ms. Wheeler reviewed resident statistics at their other properties, including The Springs at Orchard Road and The Springs at Weber Road.
Ms. Wheeler stated Continental Properties projects the spending of their residents to be $20 million of disposable income and $8.7 million per year locally.
Ms. Wheeler reviewed the pet DNA process they instate at their properties with the Commissioners.
Ms. Wheeler stated all residents are screened extensively to ensure top quality tenants are in their properties.
Ms. Wheeler stated they had two neighborhood meetings with the Steeplechase and Churchill residents regarding impact. One meeting was on October 3rd and the other was on October 24th. The Steeplechase and Churchill residents wanted to know what the traffic impact would be. Continental Properties is working with KLOA for a traffic study. Ms. Wheeler stated 5th Street has about 6,000 vehicle trips per day, and the capacity is 12,000 to 15,000 trips per day. The current traffic on 5th Street is not at 50% capacity; therefore the additional 2,000 trips per day from their proposed development will not have a significant impact on traffic. Ms. Wheeler introduced Javier Millan from KLOA and stated Mr. Millan is available to provide details and answer questions regarding the traffic impact.
Ms. Wheeler stated the Churchill residents at the meeting questioned Continental Properties on what they would be viewing if the buildings were built. Ms. Wheeler stated the residents are accustomed to viewing open fields, and Continental Properties told the residents they will provide high-quality landscape. Two of the proposed buildings #2 and #3 are located where they are because of an existing utility easement, and Continental Properties stated they can still provide quality landscaping around the buildings. The buildings (#2 and #3) are 900 feet away from the Churchill subdivision to the south. The buildings #4 and #5 are 550 feet away from the Churchill subdivision to the south.
Ms. Wheeler stated Continental Properties intends to have decorative fencing visible from the right-of-way. The black wrought-iron style decorative fence would be visible from the Vitality property and 5th Street. Continental Properties is proposing high-quality black vinyl coated chain-link fencing around the perimeter of the site. Ms. Wheeler stated the odd shape of the property creates a disproportionate amount of perimeter fencing, and Continental Properties is requesting that decorated fencing not be a blanket requirement, and they will work with staff to identify the most appropriate locations for decorative fences versus chain-link fences.
Ms. Wheeler summarized and stated Continental Properties does not believe there is a significant impact to increase the number of units as they are requesting.
Commissioners Comments:
Commissioner Garland asked if there will there be any road improvements such as turn lanes or signals with 2,000 added trips per day. Ms. Wheeler provided the KLOA Traffic Impact Study memo dated November 8, 2017.
Javier Millan
KLOA Inc.
Rosemont, IL
Mr. Millan is the representative for KLOA. Mr. Millan stated they have not completed a traffic study for this location. Mr. Millan provided suggestions for improvements with extended left- turn lanes and reviewed the memo information. Mr. Millan stated the majority of traffic from 5th Street will be heading north to Route 34 as opposed to Wolf’s Crossing Road to the south.
Commissioner Cirone stated the traffic impact issue is turning left onto Wolf’s Crossing Road from 5th Street. Mr. Millan stated they need to include that intersection in the comprehensive traffic study for analysis.
Mr. Millan stated there will not be a need for a light at the entrance to the proposed development. Mr. Millan stated the current traffic use on 5th Street is at less than half of the capacity. Mr. Millan stated the proposed 320 apartment units will not have a significant impact on traffic on 5th Street.
Commissioner Garland stated he understands the projected number of retired residents in the proposed development could cut down on the number of vehicles on 5th Street. Commissioner Garland expressed concern with the intersection of 5th Street and Wolf’s Crossing Road. Mr. Millan stated they will analyze that intersection in the traffic study.
Commissioner Cirone asked about the access point in the center of the property. Mr. Wheeler stated the gated access point is specifically for emergency access, and this is where the existing trail connects to the retail. The trail will be re-routed around their property and then connect back at that same point.
Commissioner Stine asked if the trail would still be located in the current location outside of the property or on the inside of the property. Ms. Wheeler stated the trail would be outside the fence and would still connect back to the retail; the trail would come from Churchill and route around and connect to the retail. The trail will be located outside the property fence for public access. Continental Properties will provide a pedestrian gate for their residents to be able to access the trail.
Mr. Casleton stated it is his understanding Continental Properties will build a trail on the land outside the fence. Mr. Casleton stated his concern for the community is that the trail would be cut off to get to Prairie Market due to the gated community, but it appears Continental Properties will solve that problem by providing the trail. Ms. Wheeler stated they would provide the new extension on their property and work with the Park District to ensure an easement is in place that makes it publicly accessible.
Commissioner Stine asked Director Zenner if the entire property needs decorative fencing. Director Zenner stated they are working with the petitioner regarding the fencing requirements as it is a unique piece of property. Mr. Casleton stated his personal opinion is that the black chain link fence would work well with the natural area rather than the ornamental fencing. Mr. Casleton agrees the decorative fencing should be in front of property, but believes the black vinyl-coated chain link would work better with the prairie and wetland area.
Commissioner Garland asked where the most recent Continental Properties projects are located. Ms. Wheeler stated the most recent properties are located at Springs at South Elgin located on Sterns Road and Randall Road (under construction); West Dundee Springs at Canterfield located on Canterfield Parkway (under construction); Springs at Weber Road located on Weber Road and Renwick Road; Springs at Orchard Road located on Orchard Road and Oak Street (under construction). Commissioner Stine asked about a Springs location in Plainfield. Ms. Wheeler stated Continental Properties had developed a property in Plainfield, known as Springs at 127th, which has since been sold and is now an Enclave property.
Commissioner Holmstrom asked how soon Continental Properties would like to move forward with the project. Ms. Wheeler stated they would like to break ground in spring of 2018. Ms. Wheeler stated the construction period is approximately 18 months of continuous construction, and they will pre-lease the units before the construction is completed.
Commissioner Cirone asked what the financial difference would be between the 210 units versus the 320 units. Ms. Wheeler stated she is not able to answer that question at this time without having the proper studies completed yet.
Michele Sawyer
Oswego, IL
Ms. Sawyer stated she is a resident living in the adjacent subdivision and wished to speak regarding The Springs Concept Plan.
Ms. Sawyer stated she believes the location is an odd spot to develop. Ms. Sawyer stated she is very concerned about traffic increase as they are expecting approximately 2,000 cars in and out of one entrance only, and 5th Street is already a very busy road. Ms. Sawyer referenced the current traffic difficulties at the intersection of 5th Street and Wolf’s Crossing Road.
Ms. Sawyer expressed concerns over how the proposed buildings would impact the site views from neighboring properties. She noted the resident views would be of the retail stores and does not believe the views would be desirable.
Ms. Sawyer noted the conflicting information provided by Continental Properties stating that they maintain all of their properties; however they recently sold the property in Plainfield. Ms. Sawyer voiced concern over what would happen when Continental Properties sells the property in Oswego.
Ms. Sawyer stated once the buildings are built they will be visible by the Churchill neighborhood residents. Ms. Sawyer indicated some of the Churchill residents paid a premium to have property backed up to the wetland area.
No additional members of the audience wished to speak at the Public Hearing.
The Commissioners discussed the proposed buildings, traffic study to be completed, traffic impact, the number of units, and the Vitality project that is currently on hold. The Commissioners discussed the need for a complete traffic impact analysis before they can determine if the proposed number of units is appropriate. This will be reviewed at a later stage of the process (during the Preliminary and Final P.U.D. review). Commissioners discussed the use of mixed fence types for the property.
Recommendation:
Motion: Commissioner Garland, second Commissioner Cirone to accept the proposed concept plan with the following recommendations:
• Complete a traffic study to determine the appropriate number of units for the site
• Work with staff to determine fencing material in appropriate locations
