PETITIONS

Petition 22-01 Jose and Silvia Martinez

Mr. Asselmeier summarized the request.

In 2018, the Planning, Building and Zoning Department started investigating a landscaping business operating at the subject property without a special use permit. On February 23, 2021, the court imposed a fine of Thirty-Two Thousand, Eight Hundred Dollars ($32,800) against the Petitioners for operating a landscaping business without a special use permit, installing the southern driveway without a permit, Junk and Debris Ordinance violations, and related court costs. The discovery of assets portion of the case has been continued with the hope that the Petitioners will apply for the applicable special use permit and variance.

The Petitioners purchased the property in 2018.

On December 9, 2021, the Petitioner submitted the necessary application for a special use permit for a landscaping business, a variance to allow a landscaping business on a non-State, County or Collector roadway as defined by the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan, and a variance to allow the southern driveway to be within five feet (5’) of the side yard property line.

The application materials, survey of the property, landscaping plan, NRI Report, and aerial of the property were provided. The property is located at 1038 Harvey Road.

The property is approximately three (3) acres.

The existing land use is Single-Family Residential.

The Future Land Use Map calls for the area to be Suburban Residential (Max 1.0 DU/Acre). Oswego’s Future Land Use Map calls for the area to be Industrial.

Harvey Road is classified as a Collector by the Village of Oswego in this area and is not classified as such in the Land Resource Management Plan.

There are no trails planned in the area.

There are no floodplains or wetlands on the property.

The adjacent land use are Comed Right-of-Way, Industrial, Stormwater Pond, and Single-Family Residential. The adjacent properties are zoned R-2, M-1, and M-2 by the Village of Oswego.

Oswego’s Future Land Use Map calls for the area to be Agricultural, Single-Family Residential, and Light Industrial.

The zoning districts within one half (1/2) mile are A-1, A-1 SU, R-1, R-3, B-3, B-3 SU, and M-1 in the County and R-1, R-2, R-4, B-3, M-1, and M-2 inside the Village of Oswego.

Oswego East High School is located within one half (1/2) mile of the property.

The A-1 special use permits to the north are for a landscaping business and a cemetery. The B-3 special use permit to the east is for a watchman’s quarters.

EcoCAT Report was submitted on December 9, 2021, and consultation was terminated.

The LESA Score was 124 indicating a low level of protection. The NRI Report was provided.

Petition information was sent to Oswego Township on December 22, 2021.

Petition information was sent to the Village of Oswego on December 22, 2021.

Petition information was sent to the Oswego Fire Protection District on December 22, 2021.

Per Section 7:01.D.30 of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance, landscaping businesses can be special uses on A-1 zoned property subject to the following conditions:

1. All vehicles, equipment and materials associated with a landscaping business shall be stored entirely within an enclosed structure, unless otherwise permitted under the terms of this Special Use Permit.

2. The business shall be located on, and have direct access to, a State, County or Collector Highway as identified in the County’s LRMP, having an all-weather surface, designed to accommodate loads of at least 73,280 lbs, unless otherwise approved in writing by the agency having jurisdiction over said Highway. Such approvals shall establish limitations as to the number of employees and types of vehicles coming to and from the site that are engaged in the operation of the use (including delivery vehicles). These restrictions shall be included as controlling conditions of the Special Use.

3. No landscape waste generated off the property can be burned on this site.

If the County Board approves the outdoor storage of materials and the variance to the requirement to be located on a State, County or Collector Highway, the above conditions have been met.

According to the business plan, the business has four (4) employees. Employees arrive at the property at approximately 6:30 a.m., go to work sites, and return to the property and leave to go home by 7:00 p.m. No information was provided regarding days of operation. However, the business originally planned to operate from April 15th until Thanksgiving. Mr. Asselmeier read an email requesting that the business be allowed to open for the season on March 1st Business equipment presently consists of three (3) trucks.

The landscaping business area on the southwest corner of the site will be of gravel and will be approximately thirteen thousand, two hundred fifty (13,250) square feet in size. If there is a motor vehicle or equipment related leak, the area impacted gravel will be removed and replaced with clean gravel.

One (1) one (1) story, approximately two thousand nine hundred (2,900) square foot house, constructed in 1955 with a two (2) story garage is located on the property. There is also one (1) approximately two hundred forty-five (245) square foot shed frame shed on the property near the landscaping storage area. There is also one (1) chicken coop and one (1) additional shed on the northeast corner of the property not associated with the landscaping business. The picture of the house was provided.

According to the landscaping plan, the Petitioners plan to install open storage areas, one (1) for grass and brush clippings at twenty feet wide by approximately one hundred twenty feet in depth (20’ X 120’), one (1) for mulch, and one (1) for sand. There would also be storage areas for brick pallets. No information was provided on the dimensions for the storage areas for mulch, sand, and brick pallets. There would also be four (4) truck storage areas measured at fifteen feet wide by twenty eight feet in depth (15’ X 28’). According to the business plan, no piles of materials would exceed three feet (3’) in height. Any structures related to the landscaping business would be required to obtain applicable building permits. Per the site survey, the property is served by a septic system. No information was provided regarding a well.

No information was provided regarding whether or not employees or customers would use restroom or water facilities on the property.

One six foot by five foot (6’ X 5’) dumpster was shown on the landscaping plan in the landscaping business area. The property drains to the southeast and northeast.

Per the survey and landscaping plan, the house is served by an existing driveway with two (2) access points off of Harvey Road. One (1) twenty foot (20’) wide gravel driveway provides access from the landscaping storage area to Harvey Road; this access was installed without proper permits and will need to secure applicable permits. The southern driveway is also too close to the side yard property line and will need a variance. A picture of the southern driveway was provided.

The Village of Oswego provided information regarding driveway standards; this information was provided.

According to the plat of survey, the Petitioners plan to have two (2) parking spaces and one (1) handicapped accessible parking space to the west of the garage. The parking spaces will be of brick pavers. It was unclear if the parking spaces serve employees, customers or both employees and customers.

The plat of survey shows two existing light poles. Existing lighting is used for residential purposes only.

The Petitioners are not proposing any additional lighting.

The Petitioners are not proposing any business related signage.

The landscaping plan shows one (1) solid fence eight feet (8’) in height along the east, west, and south sides of the landscaping business area. One (1) security gate is also shown on the landscaping plan.

The landscaping plan shows three (3) thirty foot (30’) tall white pines, eleven (11) eight foot (8’) tall mission arborvitaes, three (3) nine foot (9’) tall blue spruces, and one (1) fifteen foot (15’) mulch bed along the southwest corner of the property. No information was provided regarding the vegetation along the southern property line. A picture of the landscaping was provided. The vegetation along the southern property line can be seen in the picture of the southern driveway. The Village of Oswego also requested landscaping, but did not provide details on type or nature of landscaping.

No information was provided regarding noise control.

No new odors are foreseen by the proposed use.

If approved, this would be the nineteenth (19th) special use permit for a landscaping business in unincorporated Kendall County.

The proposed Findings of Fact for the special use permit were as follows:

That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. Provided the site is developed in accordance with the submitted site plan and provided a variance is granted regarding the location of the driveway, the operation of the special use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. Conditions may be placed in the special use permit ordinance to address hours and seasons of operation.

That the special use will not be substantially injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The Zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question shall be considered in determining consistency with this standard. The proposed use shall make adequate provisions for appropriate buffers, landscaping, fencing, lighting, building materials, open space and other improvements necessary to insure that the proposed use does not adversely impact adjacent uses and is compatible with the surrounding area and/or the County as a whole. Appropriate restrictions may be placed in the special use permit to regulate the number of employees, hours of operation, site landscaping, and noise. Therefore, the neighboring property owners should not suffer loss in property values and the use will not negatively impact the adjacent land uses.

That adequate utilities, access roads and points of ingress and egress, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. If the Village of Oswego approves the new access point for the southern driveway and if a variance is granted for the location of the southern driveway, then adequate points of ingress and egress will be provided. The owners of the business allowed by the special use permit have agreed not pile materials in excess of three feet (3’) in height.

That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the County Board pursuant to the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals. Provided a variance is granted for the location of the driveway, the special use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the district.

That the special use is consistent with the purpose and objectives of the Land Resource Management Plan and other adopted County or municipal plans and policies. True, the proposed use is consistent with an objective found on Page 6- 34 of the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan which calls for “a strong base of agricultural, commercial and industrial uses that provide a broad range of job opportunities, a healthy tax base, and improved quality of services to County residents”.

The proposed Findings of Fact for the variances were as follows:

That the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical condition of the specific property involved would result in a particular hardship or practical difficulty upon the owner if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. There are no topographic conditions or other outstanding conditions not caused by the Petitioner that created a particular hardship or difficulty upon the owner.

That the conditions upon which the requested variation is based would not be applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. It is unknown the exact number of A-1 zoned properties that could ask for similar variances. There are no unique conditions that caused the driveway to be located on the southern property line. The Village of Oswego defines Harvey Road as a Collector while the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan does not define Harvey Road as a Collector; it is unique to have this difference in classification.

That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The owners created the hardship by installing the driveway without proper permits and operating the business at the subject property. The owners were not responsible in the differences in classification for Harvey Road.

That the granting of the variation will not materially be detrimental to the public welfare or substantially injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. The requested variance should not negatively impact any of the neighbors and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood, provided the Village of Oswego grants access to Harvey Road at the location shown on the landscaping plan.

That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Allowing the driveway to be on the property line and allowing the business to operate on a non-State, County, or Collector Highway will not impair any of the above items.

Staff believed that a landscaping business could operate at the subject property with reasonable restrictions. However, Staff had concerns, given the Petitioner’s previous behavior, that reasonable restrictions will be followed. Staff believed the following conditions and restrictions were necessary for the operation of a special use permit at the subject property. The Petitioner had not agreed to these conditions prior to the meeting:

1. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the plat of survey and landscaping plan.

2. The existing house, garage, chicken coop, swimming pool, and shed located on the northwest corner of the property shall be used for residential purposes only and shall be exempt from the site development conditions of the special use permit. The locations of these structures may change without requiring an amendment to the special use permit.

3. A variance to Section 11:02.F.7.b of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance shall be granted allowing off-street parking and southern driveway to be no closer than zero feet (0’) from the southern property line as shown on the landscaping plan. The driveway shall be a maximum of twenty feet (20’) in width and shall be gravel.

4. A variance to Section 7:01.D.30.b of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance shall be granted allowing the operation of a landscaping business at a property not located on and not having direct access to a State, County, or Collector highway as designed in the County’s Land Resource Management Plan.

5. The owners of the business allowed by the special use permit shall maintain the parking area shown on the site plan and in substantially the same location as depicted on the plat of survey. The parking area shall be brick pavers.

Mr. Klaas asked if the Village of Oswego submitted any comments. Mr. Asselmeier responded that they submitted an email regarding access standards, landscaping, and screening. Mr. Klaas questioned why the property would not be annexed into Oswego.

Mr. Rybski asked if a change of use process would occur; the septic system would have to be evaluated. No customers would be invited onsite and workers onsite would not use restroom facilities onsite.

Mr. Asselmeier asked if the County has reviewed a special use permit where the Petitioner had started a business without proper zoning, been found guilty by the court, fined by the court, and then applied for a special use permit after the fact. Nobody on the Committee had ever seen a case like this one (1). Mr. Asselmeier expressed concerns that the Petitioner would follow through with the conditions.

Judd Lofchie, Attorney for Petitioner, said the Petitioner had difficulty finding a Spanish speaking zoning attorney. He noted the Petitioner lived at the site. There would no members of the public invited onto the property and no retail sales of landscaping materials would occur. Mr. Lofchie did not know why the Petitioner had pursued annexation to Oswego. The Petitioner has been responsive since he started working with Mr. Lofchie. The Petitioner was agreeable to the proposed conditions as amended to allow operations to start on March 1st. The business is presently closed.

Mr. Holdiman asked about the revocation process for the special use permit. Mr. Asselmeier explained the process.

Mr. Klaas made a motion, seconded by Undersheriff Richardson, to recommend approval of the special use permit and variances with the conditions proposed by Staff as amended to allow the business to start operating on March 1st.

The votes were follows

Ayes (5): Briganti, Klaas, Olson, Richardson, and Rybski

Nays (2): Asselmeier and Holdiman

Abstain (0): None

Absent (3): Chismark, Gengler, and Guritz

The motion passed.

The proposal goes to the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission on January 26, 2022.

Petition 22-03 Executive Pastor Sean Mabee on Behalf of Grace Bible Church of Shorewood and Fire Chief Andrew Doyle on Behalf of the Troy Fire Protection District

Mr. Asselmeier summarized the request.

In July 2004, the Kendall County Board granted a special use permit for a church at the subject property. The property was for sale and the Troy Fire Protection District would like to purchase the property in order to construct a new fire station and training facility.

The application materials, plat of survey, site plan, renderings of some of the proposed buildings, Ordinance 2004-24 and the aerial of the property were provided.

The property is located at 748 Jones Road.

The property is approximately twenty-five (25) acres in size.

The Future Land Use Map calls for this area to be Suburban Residential (Max 1.00 DU/Acre). The Village of Shorewood’s Future Land Use Map calls for this area to be Residential.

Jones Road is maintained by the City of Joliet at this property. Jones Road is Minor Collector maintained by Seward Township in the unincorporated area. Shorewood has a north-south road planned near the subject property.

There are no trails planned in the area.

There are no floodplains or wetlands on the property.

The adjacent land uses are Agricultural and Farmstead.

The adjacent properties are zoned R-1 B Single-Family Residential inside Joliet and A-1 in the unincorporated area.

The Land Resource Management Plan calls for the area to be Suburban Residential. Shorewood’s Future Land Use Map calls for this area to be Residential and Commercial. Joliet’s Future Land Use Map calls for this area to Residential with 2.5 DU/Acre for single-family and 3.0 DU/Acre for mixed use.

Petition information was sent to the City of Joliet on December 23, 2021. In the special use permit for the church, condition 4 required the church to develop a time table for improvements to Jones Road. Discussions have occurred regarding improvements to Jones Road.

Petition information was sent to the Troy Fire Protection District on December 23, 2021.

According to the information provided, the Troy Fire Protection District plans to convert the property into a fire station and training facility. The fire station would be staffed twenty-four (24) hours per day and would serve as the District’s third (3rd) fire station. The station would have a maximum of eight (8) firefighters.

The indoor training facility would be housed in the existing four thousand five hundred (4,500) square foot building. The building will have four (4) classrooms and one (1) office. Three (3) of the classrooms can hold twenty (20) students and the other classroom can hold fifty-two (52) students. The total number of students and instructors would be a maximum of one hundred twenty (120). Hours of operations would be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

The outside training area and tower would be used for live fire training, non-live fire training, search and rescue, and technical rescue. The hours of operation for this site would be the same as the hours of operation for the indoor training facility. The total number of students and instructors at this site would be twenty (20).

The total maximum occupancy of all of the classrooms, training tower site, and fire station employees would be one hundred forty-eight (140).

The District currently holds a Basic Operations Fire Academy in partnership with Joliet Junior College at Fire Station #1. This course would be moved to the subject property.

According to the site plan, a proposed boat dock for water training is planned south of the retention pond. No information was provided regarding any trainings that may occur at this portion of the property.

According to the site plan, the property presently consists of one (1) one (1) story eighteen thousand two hundred (18,200) square foot building used as a church. This building would be converted to the fire station. One (1) one (1) story four thousand five hundred (4,500) square foot accessory building will be converted to office and classrooms. One (1) pre engineered building presently located on the southwest corner of the property would be moved next to the outdoor training area.

The renderings for the fire station and office classroom building were provided. At its highest point, the façade of the fire station will be fifty-four feet (54’) tall. Three (3) bays will exist for fire apparatus. There will also be at least one (1) door on each side of the building. There will not be any windows on the east side of the building except by the door. The office/training building will have one (1) door on the east side of the building and windows on all sides.

The site plan calls for a training pad area west of the existing main building. This area will have a forty foot (40’) tall training tower, a storage area, fire investigation area, and a SCBA trailer. The training tower will be approximately sixty feet (60’) long and thirty feet (30’) feet wide. The rendering of the training tower were provided. The storage area will be an open area for the storage of pallets and straw bales and will be approximately sixteen feet (16’) in length, forty feet (40’) wide and eight feet (8’) feet in height. The fire investigation area will also be an open area for trainings/scenarios. This area will be approximately sixteen feet (16’) long, twenty feet (20’) wide, and eight feet (8’) feet in height. The trailer will be used to breathing apparatus and will be approximately eight feet (8’) wide, fifty-three feet (53’) long, and fourteen feet (14’) in height.

Any structures related to the proposed operations would be required to obtain applicable building permits. The property is served by well and septic.

One (1) trash enclosure area is shown on the site plan. The Petitioners’ intent would be to use this area to house one (1) four (4) yard dumpster and one (1) four (4) yard recycling dumpster.

Per, the plat of survey, most of the property drains to the south. The area north of the existing church building drains towards the retention pond. Mr. Asselmeier noted that Greg Chismark had concerns regarding the low area on the southeast corner of the site.

The site plan calls for the enlargement of the retention pond. The exact enlargement of the pond has not been determined and will be based on the ground and earth in the area. A stormwater management permit will be required for the expansion.

Per the plat of survey, the property has two access points off of Jones Road. The eastern drive is asphalt and the western drive is gravel. Per the site plan, the eastern drive will be concrete from Jones Road to the vehicle turnaround area; the remainder of the eastern drive will be asphalt. The western drive will concrete.

According to the site plan, one (1) three hundred (300) parking space asphalt parking lot is located on the property. Per the Americans with Disabilities Act, seven (7) handicapped parking spaces are required for a parking lot with this number of parking spaces; one (1) additional handicapped parking space is needed. The Petitioners indicated that seven (7) handicapped parking spaces presently exist at the property. The parking lot will be resurfaced.

Per the site plan, a portion of the eastern drive will be turned to concrete, a new apron will be installed, and the drive will be altered to provide direct access to the fire apparatus bays.

According to the plat of survey, there are four (4) existing light poles in the parking lot. Each pole has four (4) lights. There is also one (1) additional light pole by the northeast corner of the existing church. There are also lights pointing downwards above each door of the existing church.

According to the site plan, one (1) digital ground sign is proposed west of the eastern entrance. This sign will be a maximum of ten feet (10’) in length and a maximum five feet (5’) tall. The sign will be lit from dusk until dawn. However, the lighting output will be reduced to fifty percent (50%) at 10:00 p.m. Per Section 12:08.A.2.a, signs at public safety facilities are exempt from the requirement to turn off illuminated signs at 11:00 p.m.

Per the renderings, the number 3 will be placed above the bays for the fire apparatus on the north side of the building and a Troy FPD 3 sign will be installed on the west side of building. The letters will be three feet (3’) tall and the signs will be backlit with LED lights.

The site plan shows one (1) new steel double gate at the entrance of the western driveway. The site plan also shows the western end of parking lot fenced and gated. This fence will be chain link with slats at six feet (6’) in height.

Both the plat of survey and the site plan show numerous existing trees, arborvitae, and other vegetation throughout the property. No information was provided regarding the types or numbers of the various planting currently placed on the property and whether or not these plantings will remain. Section 11:02.F.8 provides screening requirements for parking lots with more than twenty (20) parking spaces. These requirements are presently met, but the Petitioners have not indicated if they intend to keep the screening as it currently exists. The Petitioners’ intention is to keep all of the existing vegetation onsite except for those plantings in the new concrete apron area, new training pad area, and pond extension area.

The site plan shows five (5) new turf berms. The berms would be a maximum slope of three to one (3:1). The minimum height of the berms shall be five feet (5’). The trees planted on top of the berms would be arborvitae, spruce, or other similar tree. The berms would be installed at the same time the pond is dug with trees planted after completion of the berms.

The Petitioners plan to have emergency dispatch horns, strobes, and speakers on the property. These items will not be broadcast or used outside of the buildings between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Fire trucks leaving the property responding to an emergency would also make noise.

All training burns should occur inside the training tower. No other burning or odor causing activities are foreseen at the property.

If approved, this would be the first (1st) special use permit for a fire station in the unincorporated area. This would be the fifth (5th) special use permit for a government facility in the unincorporated area; the others are highway related or government office related.

The proposed Findings of Fact are as follows:

That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. Provided the site is developed in accordance with the submitted site plan and provided that conditions are included in the special use permit to mitigate outside noise, odor, and lighting, the proposed use should not be detrimental or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. Placing a fire station at this location, with trained first responders, should enhance the public safety of the area.

That the special use will not be substantially injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The Zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question shall be considered in determining consistency with this standard. The proposed use shall make adequate provisions for appropriate buffers, landscaping, fencing, lighting, building materials, open space and other improvements necessary to insure that the proposed use does not adversely impact adjacent uses and is compatible with the surrounding area and/or the County as a whole. Appropriate restrictions should be placed in the special use permit to regulate outside noise, odors, and lighting. It is acknowledged that a fire station could produce noise, particularly sirens, at any point in time. Landscaping is incorporated in the controlling site plan for the property. Presently, very few house are located within a half mile of the property. The neighboring property owners should not suffer loss in property values caused by the placement of this use.

That adequate utilities, access roads and points of ingress and egress, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Provided the City of Joliet and Seward Township have no concerns regarding the use of Jones Road for the purposes of a fire station, adequate roads are provided. Adequate utilities are onsite or will be upgraded. Drainage issues shall be addressed as part of the stormwater management permit for the property.

That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the County Board pursuant to the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals. This is true; no variances are needed.

That the special use is consistent with the purpose and objectives of the Land Resource Management Plan and other adopted County or municipal plans and policies. True, the proposal is consistent with the goals and objectives included in the Public Safety section found on pages 4-10 and 4-11 of the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan.

Mr. Rybski said a change of use would be necessary. He noted the septic system was very large for the site. He wanted to make sure the septic system area would be protected. He also stated a non-community well may be necessary depending on the number of activities on the site. Fire Chief Andrew Doyle noted that the septic area or septic tanks will be protected. The Fire District will secure the necessary permits for the well. The Fire District would not have as many people onsite as the church proposed.

Chief Doyle said the pond would be expanded for training purposes and to use water out of the pond for trainings. Mr. Klaas asked about the church. Chief Doyle said the church has returned to their original location in Shorewood.

Discussion occurred regarding the improvements to Jones Road. Chief Doyle said that Joliet was requesting escrow funds for improvements to Jones Road along the property’s perimeter. Joliet classified the road as a Collector.

The current structures do not have a fire suppression system. A fire suppression system will be installed and will be inspected by a third party.

Chief Doyle was agreeable to the conditions as proposed.

Mr. Asselmeier asked about light brightness. Chief Doyle did not have information on brightness. The berms would block some lights.

Chief Doyle said fire trucks will not sound their horns at night unless there was a vehicle on the road. The lights on the fire trucks would flash.

Chief Doyle said all burning would be inside the training tower.

Kelley Chrisse, Village of Shorewood, requested a condition be added for an annexation agreement. An annexation agreement should be finalized within one (1) year of approval of the special use permit by the County Board. Shorewood favored the proposed use; other concerns would be addressed as part of an annexation agreement.

Mr. Klaas asked how far the Village limits were from the property. The response was approximately one point five (1.5) miles. Discussion occurred regarding how the Shorewood municipal boundary could be extended to reach the property.

Jones Road is the boundary between Joliet and Shorewood.

Mr Rybski made a motion, seconded by Mr. Holdiman, to recommend approval of the special use permit with the conditions proposed by Staff, a condition be added regarding an annexation agreement with Shorewood within one (1) year of approval of the special use permit, and a condition requiring the Fire District to submit an escrow payment to Joliet for improvements to Jones Road.

The votes were follows

Ayes (7): Asselmeier, Briganti, Holdiman, Klaas, Olson, Richardson, and Rybski

Nays (0): None

Abstain (0): None

The motion passed.

The proposal goes to the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission on January 26, 2022.

Petition 22-04 John and Laura Gay

Mr. Asselmeier summarized the request.

In November 2019, the County Board approved a special use permit and related variance to allow a kennel at the subject property through Ordinance 2019-33. This Ordinance required that the site be developed substantial in accordance with an attached site plan.

On December 21, 2021, the Petitioners submitted a major amendment to the existing special use permit altering the site plan in the following ways:

1. Shifting the building orientation; the proposed building size remains the same.

2. Shifting the access for the special use slightly southeast to provide separation between the residence and business.

3. Moving the parking area from the northwest side of the building to the southwest side of the building; the number of parking spaces remains unchanged.

4. Modifying the emergency access road to include a one hundred percent (100%) concrete surface area and hammerhead turnaround.

The application materials, Engineering Plans, Ordinance 2019-33, survey, and building elevations were provided. An updated landscaping plan was distributed.

The property is located at 3601 Plainfield Road.

The area for the special use is approximately four point seven (4.7) acres.

The Future Land Use calls for the property to be Suburban Residential (Max 1.0 DU/Acre).

Plainfield Road is a County Road Classified as a Major Collector.

No trails are planned in the area.

There are no floodplains or wetlands on the property, but Morgan Creek runs along the northeastern boundary of the property.

The adjacent land uses are Agricultural and Farmstead.

The adjacent properties are zoned A-1.

The Future Land Use Map calls for this area to be Suburban Residential and Commercial.

Zoning Districts within one half (1/2) mile include A-1 and R-1 in the County and R-2 inside the Village of Oswego. The Ashcroft Place subdivision is located within one half mile (1/2) to the north.

The Deerpath Trails and Morgan Crossing subdivisions are located within one half (1/2) mile to the west. EcoCat submitted on December 21, 2021, and consultation was terminated.

NRI application submitted on September 12, 2019, as part of the original application for special use. The LESA Score was 170 indicating a low level of protection. The NRI Report was provided.

Oswego Township was emailed information on December 23, 2021.

Oswego Fire Protection District was emailed information on December 23, 2021. Mr. Asselmeier read an email from the Fire Protection District regarding sprinkling and alarming the building. The Fire Protection District also requested an auto turn exhibit and noted that the right side of the turnaround area was sixty feet (60’) short of the required distance.

The Village of Oswego was emailed information on December 23, 2021.

The Petitioners currently reside in the one-story frame house on the property.

Because of the shape of the property, a variance was required to the distance from the kennel to non-residentially zoned property.

The conditions placed in Ordinance 2019-33 were as follows:

A. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the attached site plan, security plan, landscaping plan, and lighting plan attached hereto as Exhibit C. The previously listed plans may be slightly altered to meet the right-of-way dedication mentioned in Condition B.

B. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of approval of this special use permit ordinance, the property owners shall convey a strip of land along the entire Plainfield Road portion of the property to Kendall County to be used as Plainfield Road right-of-way. This dedication shall have a depth of fifteen feet (15’) as measured from the right-of-way line that existed on the date of adoption of this special use permit ordinance.

C. A variance is granted to Section 7.01.D.27 of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance allowing the kennel operation granted by this special use permit to be placed thirty feet, six and one half inches (30’ 6 1/2”) at its closest point to lot lines of properties zoned other than residential or shown on the Land Resource Management Plan (LRMP) map as non-residential.

D. The use allowed by this special use permit shall be located a minimum of two hundred fifty feet (250’) from the lot line of lots zoned residential or shown as Residential on the Land Resource Management Plan (LRMP) map.

E. One (1) non-illuminated sign may be installed on the subject property in substantially the location shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit C. The specific location of the sign may be adjusted slightly to reflect the right-of-way dedication in Condition B.

F. A maximum of one hundred (100) pets may be on the subject property at any time.

G. All pets shall be indoors between the hours of sunset and sunrise except for the purposes of owners dropping off and picking-up pets.

H. The hours of operation for the business allowed by this special use permit shall be Monday through Sunday from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The operator(s) of the business allowed by this special use permit may reduce these hours of operation. Pets experiencing medical emergencies may be tended to outside the hours of operation.

I. The maximum number of employees for the business allowed by this special use permit shall be seven (7), including the business owners.

J. Refuse shall be removed from the subject property at least one (1) time per week or as necessary to prevent litter or odors from emanating from the subject property.

K. Any construction on the property related to the use allowed by this special use permit shall not be considered as agricultural purposes and shall secure applicable permits.

L. The operator(s) of the kennel allowed by this special use permit may sell ancillary items related to their kennel operations.

M. The operator(s) of the kennel acknowledge and agree to follow Kendall County’s Right to Farm Clause.

N. The operator(s) of the kennel allowed by this special use permit shall follow all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws related to the operation of this type of business.

O. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions or restrictions could result in the amendment or revocation of the special use permit.

P. If one or more of the above conditions is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining conditions shall remain valid.

The Petitioners dedicated the land for a right-of-way as outlined in condition 2.

Neither the Sheriff’s Department nor the Planning, Building and Zoning Department have received complaints against the kennel operation at this property.

According to the information provided to the County in 2019, the Petitioners plan to offer pet daycare, boarding, and grooming services. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Sunday from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. However, the Petitioners would like to have the option to be closed on weekends and to allow boarders to drop-off and pick-up pets on the weekends on a pre-scheduled basis. The Petitioners plan to hire five (5) employees. The maximum number of pets planned for the site is one hundred (100). Per the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance, all animals will be indoors by sunset. The Petitioners believe the area is lacking this type of service.

As noted in the engineering plans, the Petitioners plan to construct an approximately four thousand, one hundred fifty (4,150) square foot building southeast of the existing home on the property. A six foot (6’) tall wood fence would be located approximately fifteen feet (15’) from the building to the northeast and twenty-four (24’) from the building to the southeast. The fenced area would be approximately three thousand two hundred thirty (3,230) square feet in size and serve as a play area for the dogs and other pets at the facility.

According the building elevations, the building shall consist of multiple rooms including a lobby, manager’s office, restroom, bathroom, laundry, pet bathing room, three (3) pet suites, and pet areas for small, medium, and large pets.

Building and Occupancy Permits will be required for the new building.

The well would be located northeast of the building. The septic field would be located southeast of the building and turnaround area. The Petitioners indicated that they were working with the Health Department regarding well and septic facilities.

The property fronts Plainfield Road. As part of the proposed amendment, a new driveway would connect Plainfield Road and the kennel. The width of the entrance is twenty-two feet (22’).

The Petitioners believe most of the traffic generated by the proposed business will occur in the morning and early evening when patrons drop-off and pick-up their pets.

The Petitioners propose to install an eleven (11) spot parking lot. One (1) of the spaces would be handicapped accessible. The turnaround around would be twenty feet (20’) wide.

The Petitioners plan to installed one (1) light along the driveway and in the parking lot. This lights will be twelve feet (12’) in height. Two (2) wall pack will be installed along the east side of the building. Eleven (11) wall lights will be installed on the building; three (3) will be on the north side of the building and one (1) will be on the east side of the building. The description of the types of lighting that location of these lights can be found on the elevations. The exact light fixtures are not known.

According to the landscaping plan, the Petitioners plan to have one (1) sign along Plainfield Road.

According to the landscaping plan, the Petitioners plan to install eight (8) canopy trees, six (6) deciduous shrubs, twenty eight (28) evergreen shrubs, and six (6) groundcovers, grass, and perennials.

Seven (7) existing trees in front of the house will be protected with fencing. One (1) tree will be removed.

The Petitioners believe the distance of their facility to existing houses combined with having the pets indoors by sunset will prevent any noise issues.

The Petitioners plan to install a four foot by eight foot (4’ X 8’) refuse enclosure to the northeast of the parking lot southwest of the building. The enclosure is proposed to be fenced with a six feet (6’) tall wood board privacy fence with double gates.

According to the landscaping plan, the Petitioners plan to install a security gate near the entrance to the property. The proposed Findings of Fact were as follows:

That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. Provided the Oswego Fire Protection District approves the new turnaround area and the Kendall County Highway Department approves the new access point, the operation of the special use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The immediately adjacent properties are also zoned A-1. There are no existing structures on adjacent properties within one hundred feet (100’) of the property line. Taking into account the residential properties to the west and southwest of the property, the proposed kennel location will be situated on the east end of the property, thereby well-exceeding the two hundred fifty foot (250’) setback requirement from any residential district set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the Petitioners have a waste management plan and have considered the impact of noise on surrounding properties. A six foot (6’) tall fencing is planned around the outdoor play area. The Petitioners intend to follow the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance as it relates to having all pets inside by dusk.

That the special use will not be substantially injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The Zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question shall be considered in determining consistency with this standard. The proposed use shall make adequate provisions for appropriate buffers, landscaping, fencing, lighting, building materials, open space and other improvements necessary to insure that the proposed use does not adversely impact adjacent uses and is compatible with the surrounding area and/or the County as a whole. As noted in the previous finding, the proposed special use will be setback further than the required setback for residentially zoned properties. The Petitioners plan to install a fence and appropriate lighting. The Petitioners agreed to have animals indoors by sunset. The proposed of hours of operation will also prevent injury to neighboring land uses.

That adequate utilities, access roads and points of ingress and egress, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. This is true. An existing curb cut is already located off of Plainfield Road at the subject property. The Petitioners will have to secure applicable permits related to stormwater, drainage, well, septic systems, and the new driveway access.

That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the County Board pursuant to the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals. Kendall County previously granted a variance regarding distance to non-residentially zoned or use properties through Ordinance 2019-33 at this property. No variances are necessary for the proposed amendment and the special use would otherwise conform to the applicable regulations of the district.

That the special use is consistent with the purpose and objectives of the Land Resource Management Plan and other adopted County or municipal plans and policies. True, the proposed use is consistent with an objective found on Page 6- 34 of the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan which calls for “a strong base of agricultural, commercial and industrial uses that provide a broad range of job opportunities, a healthy tax base, and improved quality of services to County residents” through the encouragement “. . . of locally owned businesses.”

Staff recommended approval of the requested amendment to an existing special use permit for a kennel subject to the following conditions:

1. The site plan, security plan, landscaping plan, and lighting plan referenced as Exhibit C in Ordinance 2019-33 is replaced with the site plan, elevations, and landscaping plan.

2. The remaining conditions and restrictions contained in Ordinance 2019-33 shall remain effective.

3. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions or restrictions or the conditions and restrictions contained in Ordinance 2019-33 could result in the amendment or revocation of the special use permit.

4. If one or more of the above conditions is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining conditions shall remain valid.

5. This special use permit and major amendment to an existing special use permit shall be treated as a covenant running with the land and is binding on the successors, heirs, and assigns as to the same special use conducted on the property.

Mr. Rybski noted this special use permit was previously approved.

Mr. Klaas noted the new access would run afoul of the County’s Access Ordinance. Discussion occurred regarding the procedure for obtaining a variance to the Access Ordinance. A variance would not be required if one (1) of the existing access points were removed. Tom Green, Engineer for the Petitioners, noted that the eastern access point to the existing home would be removed. A small turnaround would be created for mail delivery. Mr. Klaas requested the plans be amended to more clearly reflect the elimination of the southern access.

Mr. Green said that he did the analysis for the Fire District and he would provide that information.

Undersheriff Richardson expressed concerns about increased traffic on Plainfield and that the sign be located in a manner that does impact lines of sight.

Mr. Asselmeier noted that the berms would require a stormwater permit. Greg Chismark requested a calculation showing that the disturbed area did not exceed the threshold for requiring a stormwater permit. Mr. Green asked if the septic field would be counted towards disturbed area. Mr. Asselmeier said Mr. Chismark believed that the septic field was part of the disturbed area. Mr. Green said the disturbed area would be large enough to require a stormwater permit and he would provide those calculations.

Mr. Rybski asked if a septic permit had been pulled. Mr. Green said no septic design exists.

Mr. Klaas made a motion, seconded by Mr. Rybski, to recommend approval of the major amendment of an existing special use permit with the conditions proposed by Staff.

The votes were follows

Ayes (7): Asselmeier, Briganti, Holdiman, Klaas, Olson, Richardson, and Rybski Nays (0): None

Abstain (0): None

Absent (3): Chismark, Gengler, and Guritz
