AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO THE ELK GROVE
PARK DISTRICT FOR AN ADDITIONAL MODIFICATION FOR LIGHTING AT THE
SOCCER FIELD FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 711 CHELMSFORD LANE,
ELK GROVE VILLAGE (MARSHALL PARK)
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of the Village of Elk Grove Village, acting as
a Zoning Commission, at a Public Hearing duly called and held according to law,
considered the petition of Elk Grove Park District for a special use permit for additional
modifications to a Planned Development for property located at 711 Chelmsford Lane,
Elk Grove Village (Marshall Park); and
WHEREAS, The Petition, as presented, requested two separate modifications -
one for the addition of six pickleball courts and the second for lighting the existing soccer
field, which lighting would further require a variation of Section 7.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance, to permit the sixty -foot lighting structures to exceed the thirty-five foot height
restrictions in the R-4 Residential Zoned District, which petitions the Plan Commission
recommended be denied; and
WHEREAS, The Park District thereafter requested the Village Board to defer
acting on the recommendation with respect to the six pickleball courts but proceed with
the issue of lighting for the soccer field and the related variation, requesting that the
Village overturn the recommended denial of the Plan Commission and thus grant the
modifications to the Planned Development with respect to the soccer field lighting and
the granting the height variation as requested; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees, after considering the request of the Park
District, separated the two modification requests, delayed taking any action on the
pickleball modification petition and directed the Village Attorney to prepare an
Ordinance granting the modification for the soccer field lighting and the related height
variation as herein set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook and DuPage, Illinois as follows:
