Item 2: Petition for Special Use for modifications to a Planned Development located at 711 Chelmsford Lane, Marshall Park and variance from Section 7.1 of the Zoning Code to allow sixty -foot (60') light poles to support the proposed lighting for the pickleball courts and soccer field in the R-4 Residential Zoning District. Commissioner Carlson recused himself from the hearing. Chairman Glass read the legal notice into the record and asked the Petitioner to explain their purpose before the Plan Commission. 1 B. Curcio stated that he is happy to see many residents in attendance. He stated that the Park District plans to host more community meetings regarding these modifications to Marshall Park following the public hearing to further gather feedback and input from the residents and surrounding members of the community. M. Kosbab stated that in May of 2023, Marshall Park was approved to have a playground splash pad, basketball courts, a soccer field, a shelter with restrooms, and a one-third mile walking track with exercise equipment. He added that some concessions were made last year during the public hearing, including removal of a gate, and moving the basketball court. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District is proposing four lighting posts on either corner of the soccer field and same with the pickleball courts with lighting posts on either corner of that area. He stated that the Park District had previously sent out a survey to the residents in the immediate area of the park. Of the 22 people that responded to the survey, 15 people were in favor of lighting for the park and 7 were not. M. Kosbab showed a photometric study of the proposed lighting. He explained that there will be minimal lighting outside of the soccer field; about 15 to 20 feet away from the field, the lighting will be almost non-existent. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District also surveyed the community about their support for pickleball courts in the community. He stated that 41 % of respondents said yes, 10% said no, and the remaining 37% selected "I have no opinion". He stated that out of that survey, pickleball ranked fifth in priorities for future developments in the Park District's amenities. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District sought to mitigate the noise associated with pickleball by creating a barrier through installing an acoustic fence, which is a fence that lessens the decibels of sound using a fabric that is 1 /8" thick. He stated that this fence lowers sound by 10 to 12 decibels. He stated that the sound of pickleball is about 70 decibels from about 100 feet away and that residential neighborhoods generally have an ambient noise of about 50 decibels. He stated that from 200 feet away, the expected sound level will be about 64 decibels, which is slightly higher than normal conversation. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District also has a landscape plan that will help to surround that area to help reduce the noise further. Commissioner Rettberg asked if there was any discussion about lighting during the last hearing for this development. M. Kosbab stated that at that time there were not any plans for lighting. Commissioner Rettberg asked if the surveys specified that the pickleball courts would be lighted as opposed to just being available in daylight hours. M. Kosbab stated that at that time there were not any plans for lighting at the time of the survey related to the pickleball courts. Commissioner Rettberg asked the Petitioner to clarify the hours of availability for the lighting. M. Kosbab stated that the lighting schedule for the soccer field would correspond to the regular soccer programming schedule. He stated that the Park District operates its soccer programming in April through November, Monday through Saturdays. He stated that the lighting would operate with a timer that would turn the lights off no later than 10 o'clock. He stated that there would not be any Sunday games, and the lights would only be on when there are games or practices. He stated that if there is no programming for that day the lights would not be available. Commissioner Rettberg asked if there is a need for a soccer field with lighting in the community. M. Kosbab stated that there is a need for it in the community and that there are two other lighted soccer fields in the community, some at the Community Athletic Fields and another at Lions Park. He stated that the additional lighted soccer field at Marshall Park would assist the Park District in accommodating their programming. Commissioner Rettberg asked to clarify the end time for the lighting. M. Kosbab stated that the lighting would not be on past 10 p.m. Commissioner Rettberg asked to clarify the end time for the lighting for the pickleball courts. M. Kosbab stated that the lighting would not be on past 10 p.m. at the pickleball courts and that those lights would operate by an on -demand system. He stated that if somebody was in the court, they could press a button and the lights would come on and the lights would not come on if no one was there. Commissioner Rettberg asked if there is a plan to impose a fee for using the pickleball courts. M. Kosbab stated that there would be no fee to use the pickleball courts and that it would be first -come -first -serve. Commissioner Rettberg asked if there is a reservation system associated with the pickleball courts. M. Kosbab stated that there would be no reservation system for the pickleball courts. Commissioner Weiner clarified that there was conversation about lighting at the previous hearing, but there was no determination. She asked if there would be any ambient lighting into nearby backyards or into the neighborhood. 3 M. Kosbab stated that there would be no ambient lighting spilling into the neighborhood. Commissioner Weiner asked if there would be any issues with water runoff or flooding. M. Kosbab stated that there will be stormwater mitigation in the northwest corner of the park and that it has been approved by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. He stated that it is designed to hold water during a storm then release it slowly to prevent flooding in the area in our park and in the surrounding area. He stated that the stormwater mitigation area is also slightly larger than initially proposed to accommodate the runoff from the pickleball courts. Commissioner Weiner asked if the Petitioner would consider enhancing any kind of soundproofing landscaping such as taller shrubbery to dampen noise. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District would be willing to install additional landscaping to improve sound dampening. Commissioner Geinosky asked if the Petitioner had considered adding a berm along the perimeter of the park. M. Kosbab stated that there is not enough room for a berm in the park. Commissioner Geinosky asked if there are residents who live around the tennis courts in the community that are impacted by rainfall. M. Kosbab stated that the park was designed with topography that slopes to the northwest to pull rainwater into the stormwater mitigation area and keep rainwater inside the park. Commissioner Geinosky suggested a survey in the future to determine if these proposed mitigation efforts are effective. Commissioner Geinosky asked about the construction timeline for the park. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District's targeted completion for the current project that is under construction is Memorial Day weekend of 2024. Commissioner Geinosky asked if the pickleball courts would be added at a later date. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District is at the beginning of the planning process for the pickleball courts and is seeking feedback from the Village and the community on the issue. He stated that the Park District hopes to construct them this year. 4 Commissioner Geinosky asked what would happen if too many people arrived to use the pickleball courts at the same time. M. Kosbab stated that the pickleball courts are first -come -first -serve and that there is an etiquette to playing pickleball. He described how players will wait on the bench for their turn to play. Commissioner Geinosky asked what other pickleball courts are available in the community. M. Kosbab stated that there are outdoor pickleball courts at Rainbow Falls and indoor pickleball courts at the Pavilion. Commissioner Geinosky asked about the potential additional pickleball courts at the upcoming development on Rohlwing Road. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District currently does not have much information about the pickleball courts at 720 Rohlwing Road. Commissioner Geinosky asked why the proposed lighting poles are 60 feet high. D. Miller stated that taller lighting poles have better angles to aim the light area and reduce light spillage than shorter poles. Commissioner Geinosky asked how tall other lighting poles in the community are. D. Miller stated that the lighting poles at the Elk Grove High School football field are about 70 feet tall. M. Kosbab stated that the poles at the Community Athletic Fields are about 70 to 80 feet tall. Commissioner Geinosky asked for clarification on the heights of the lighting poles for the pickleball courts. D. Miller stated that the poles around the pickleball courts would be 50 feet tall and the soccer field poles would be 60 feet tall. Commissioner Geinosky asked why the lighting would turn off at 10 p.m. instead of an earlier time. B. Curcio stated that in the shoulder seasons for soccer from March through June and again in the fall, it gets dark very early. He stated that lighting during later hours would opportunities to stay open a little bit later for soccer programming. Commissioner Bacigalupo asked why the previous lighting for the park was removed. 5 M. Kosbab stated that the property was previously a school property, and the Park District did not own the property at the time the lighting in question was removed. Commissioner Bacigalupo asked about the status of the pickleball courts proposed along Rohlwing Road C. Gabiga stated that the project was approved, and the developer is looking to find a tenant for the data center. She stated that the pickleball courts are included in the development agreement as part of that project. She stated that the developer will be installing those pickleball courts, but it is dependent on when they find a tenant for the development. Commissioner Bacigalupo asked why the Park District needs more pickleball courts if there are already some present in the community. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District has received community feedback requesting more pickleball courts in the community and is aware of a high demand for them. Commissioner Bacigalupo asked if there are any alternative purposes for the soccer field, such as for other sports like football. M. Kosbab stated that the soccer field could be used for other sports and serves as an open space when it is not being used. Commissioner Bacigalupo asked if the pickleball courts could be used for another purpose such as tennis or volleyball. M. Kosbab stated that the pickleball courts would only be striped for pickleball and would likely not be able to be used for anything else. Commissioner DeFrenza asked how the soccer games are scheduled. M. Kosbab stated that the soccer season runs from April 1 through mid -June with practices on Mondays through Thursdays and competitive games on Fridays and Saturdays. He stated that soccer continues with this schedule again in mid -August through mid -November. Commissioner DeFrenza asked if parking would spill over into residential areas when the soccer field and pickleball courts are being used at the same time. M. Kosbab stated that there are 67 parking spaces at the Marshall Park parking lot, which is more parking than is available at Rainbow Falls. He commented that the capacity for Rainbow Falls is over 1,000 people and there should be enough parking space to accommodate visitors to Marshall Park. Commissioner DeFrenza asked if there are any safety protocols for lighting at late -night games. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District has dedicated park security staff that make rounds throughout the parks through the summer depending on where most visitor concentration is located. Commissioner DeFrenza asked how busy the pickleball courts at Rainbow Falls typically are. M. Kosbab stated that they are well -used courts, typically busiest during the summer months and in the morning between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., and in the early afternoon. Commissioner DeFrenza asked if the Park District included proposed locations for pickleball courts as part of their survey. M. Kosbab stated that the survey was vague and was limited to just referencing the east and west areas of Elk Grove Village. Commissioner Morrill asked if there are any concerns about flooding for the park. M. Kosbab stated that flooding concerns were addressed initially with the original project by sloping the property down towards the west side to collect as much rainwater as possible and keep it off residents' property and out of the main park area. Commissioner Morrill asked if the Park District had made any considerations for 25-year or 100- year rainfall events. M. Kosbab stated that would be considered through the MWRD. Commissioner Morrill expressed concern that while the light would not spill into the surrounding neighborhood, residents would still see bright spotlights above the soccer field. Commissioner Morrill asked if there would be any considerations for giving residents priority over non-residents regarding using the pickleball courts. M. Kosbab stated that the pickleball courts are first -come -first -serve but that pickleball etiquette requires rotation of players which prevents any one group of players from predominantly using the court space. Commissioner Morrill asked if the Park District is prepared to create and enforce rules for the pickleball courts. 7 M. Kosbab stated that the Park District has posted rules at the courts in the Rainbow Falls area and has staff that will periodically check on the area, including security staff, programming staff, and athletic supervisors. Commissioner Morrill asked if the Park District is willing to take additional sound dampening measures if the current proposed measures do not work as intended. M. Kosbab stated that the Park District is willing to address the issue with additional landscaping or different barriers. He commented that there is development in new paddles and balls that are not as loud. Commissioner Schumm asked how many pickleball courts were approved at the development along Rohlwing Road. M. Kosbab stated that 6 pickleball courts were approved as part of that development. Commissioner Schumm asked for clarification on how many people expressed approval for lighting in the pickleball courts as part of their community survey. M. Kosbab clarified that the lighting survey was sent to the residences immediately surrounding the pickleball court area. He stated that there were 22 responses and of those responses, 15 respondents were in favor of the lighting and 7 were not in favor. Commissioner Schumm commented that the Police Department concluded that 67 parking spaces would be adequate but in the event of overflow, cars would park on Chelmsford Lane. He asked if the Petitioner anticipates overflow on Chelmsford Lane. M. Kosbab stated that he would defer to the Police Department report. Commissioner Schumm asked if there are any rules that would exclude people from other nearby suburbs from coming to the pickleball courts. M. Kosbab stated that the pickleball courts are open to anyone and are first -come -first -serve. Chairman Glass opened the public hearing to allow for questions from the audience. R. Lendy (200 Shelby Road) stated that these would be the first pickleball courts in a neighborhood. He stated that people across the country complain about the noise from pickleball. He commented that the constant noise would be like a dripping faucet and would irritate residents after a prolonged period. B. Lavin (299 Shelley Road) stated that he has been a resident in his home for 43 years. He stated that he can hear the beeping from the trucks from construction going on at the playground 13 can be heard inside his house. He commented that the fence around the courts would be hard to maintain and is said that there is research that the fence does not adequately mitigate noise. He commented that the Park District put mulch that backed up the storm sewer behind his home and flooded his backyard. He stated that he is most interested in the noise problem and noted that pickleball is high -frequency noise which becomes disturbing. He commented that residential parks are dawn until dusk. He commented that there used to be children playing basketball late at night in that area because of the residual light from the school. He asked if there will be children playing in the playground late at night due to residual light. He stated that pickleball games can be heard at a great distance and that shift workers would not be able to get a good night's rest. He expressed concern for the amount of overflow parking that would occur in the area. He stated that his largest concern is the impact this addition would have on the quality of life for nearby residents. L. Cox (660 Versailles Circle) asked if there is a place nearby where residents can see the proposed lighting in action. He commented that it would be helpful to see what the proposed lighting looks like from afar. D. Miller stated that the proposed lighting is LED lighting. He stated that Elk Grove High School has the old technology that produces a halo effect. He stated that the proposed lighting is the kind used at O'Hare Airport, the Chicago Dogs stadium, and Ackerman Park in Glen Ellyn. He stated that residents would see the fill light but not a glare or halo effect with the proposed lighting. J. Snyder (872 Cass Lane) stated that he is totally impressed with the project and that he loves the walking path around it. He stated that the park will have more than enough parking. He commented that he is thrilled to see the Park District looking at some of the amenities that new residents expect in a community that they will get in the newer communities out west and are a little more difficult to find in nearby suburbs. He commented that he would like to see native prairie grasses used in the park. M. Kosbab stated that there will be native grasses planted in the stormwater detention area. J. Snyder (872 Cass Lane) commented that while this is an urban area with noise from the airport, the constant sound of a bouncing ball could be a disturbance. He stated that he is very satisfied with the lighting plan. He commented that acceptance of change is slow in the community and that a larger number of pickleball courts in the community would disperse and spread out the demand. He stated that he lives near Johnson Park and visitors from outside the community sometimes visit that park. He stated that having lighting in the park would be good for kids who would otherwise play soccer in the dark. S. Losie (no address provided) stated that she has been a resident for 35 years. She stated that she never received a survey from the Park District. She commented that there are other communities who are converting their tennis courts into pickleball courts. She asked why 6 pickleball courts are necessary in her neighborhood and that she will have to look at them every day. She stated 9 that there would be significant problems if people park on both sides of the street. She stated that the community should have pickleball courts but not in her neighborhood park. She stated that there will not be enough parking. V. Anderson (735 Wellington Avenue) expressed general concern with the influx of traffic and people to the area. He stated that he has seen that the parking lot and the street get filled with cars frequently due to soccer games held in the park. He stated that his wife's car had been totaled while parked on the adjacent street because drivers speed along that road frequently. He commented that the lake in the area is visited often by non-residents despite signage that prohibits non-residents from visiting the lake. He stated that he believes this park will bring in too many people from outside of the neighborhood and will not respect the area. He stated that he believes the community would benefit from pickleball courts but that they should not be placed in Marshall Park. S. Legan (705 Bordeaux Court) stated that she loves the idea of the park. She stated that she is mostly concerned with traffic and the speed that people travel on Chelmsford Lane. She asked how the Village and the Park District can control the speed at which people drive down Chelmsford Lane. M. Gross (648 Delphine Court) asked if the soccer fields will just be used by youth groups or if there will be adult groups outside of Park District programs. She asked if the use of the soccer field will affect parking, the amount of people, and noise in the area. She asked if there are any plans about who will be allowed to use the park. B. Curcio stated that the soccer field will predominantly host youth leagues with an occasional rental. He stated that the Park District does not have any adult soccer leagues. E. Lashley (233 Shelley Road) stated that she has lived in her home since the fall of 2019. She stated that she can attest that the soccer field gets used all the time. She asked where the kids who like the plain green space will go once all the additions are made to the park. She suggested that the pickleball courts should be added near the Pavilion instead. She commented that she plays pickleball but does not believe this area is an appropriate space for the addition of pickleball courts. T. Desmoines (700 Wellington Avenue) stated that there will not be enough parking and that he is concerned about spillage onto Chelmsford Lane and Wellington Avenue. He asked if there will be restricted parking in the area to allow for space for emergency vehicles. He stated that he is willing to have people towed from his building's parking lot because his building is adjacent to the park and he sometimes sees overflow parking in the lot. He expressed concern regarding the potential noise level coming from the park as a result of the new amenities. L. Christensen (805 Cosman) stated that she did not hear of any public meetings nor received any surveys related to the new additions to the park. She stated that the Park District completely 10 ignored the nearby apartments, condominiums, and townhouses when they conducted their lighting survey. She commented that the area is a high -density neighborhood and people were initially excited to get a park in their neighborhood. She stated that the Park District was providing conflicting information to the nearby residents throughout the process. She stated that she disagrees with the way the Park District has handled the situation and is fed up with the park development. V. Anderson (735 Wellington Avenue) suggested that the Park District should distribute paper surveys to the neighboring residential properties around the park for future surveys. C. Marceau-Cundiff (705 Bordeaux Court) stated that she has lived in Elk Grove Village for 52 years in the same residence. She stated that her residence looks upon the park. She agreed that the neighborhood is very dense and has many children in the area. She stated that the residents in the neighborhood have historically used the open green space at the park location for a variety of activities such as pickup sports, picnics, and firework viewing during the Fourth of July. She stated that the removal of the green space is an extremely large aesthetic impact on the neighborhood. She commented that residents in the neighborhood strongly oppose the additional noise and lighting that the proposed changes would bring to the park, and that residents were initially told that there would be no lighting on the soccer field. She commented that residents in the nearby condominium and apartment buildings work and do not need the late -night noise. C. Marceau-Cundiff (705 Bordeaux Court) presented a petition with 50 to 60 signatures from residents who stated they had no idea this hearing was coming. She noted that lighting for Marshall Park was discussed by the Park District Board throughout 2023. She commented that the noise issue is significant because lawsuits over pickleball noise are being won across the country. She suggested that pickleball should be brought indoors to one of the properties that the Village owns and commented that the Park District could make money off of indoor pickleball that would be available year-round. She stated that she is pleased the Park District will continue to meet with the community about this issue and noted that nearby residents are very distressed about the issue. P. Mitchum (735 Wellington Avenue) stated that she is the property owner and she and her tenant are both present. She stated that she initially purchased the property because she and her family were attracted to the tranquil, peaceful surroundings of the neighborhood. She stated that she was initially in favor of the park plan because of the included green space but she is in opposition now that the park is getting taken over by pickleball courts and bringing in paid leagues and games. She commented that she is not opposed to parks in general and that her family loves the splash pad and soccer field for Marshall Park. She stated that the pickleball courts will change the feel and concept of the neighborhood. She stated that she is not in favor of a sports complex in her neighborhood and wishes to maintain the peace and tranquility of her neighborhood. 11 Chairman Glass stated that the Park District never indicated that the park would be a fee -based operation for the purpose of generating profit. J. Glimco (665 Stamford Circle) stated that he is very excited about the park for his young kids. He stated that residents have had a lot of concern about the closing time of the park. He stated that residents were initially promised the park would be open only from dawn until dusk. He commented that he played soccer as a kid and understands the importance of lit fields, but he had never played in a field so close to residential homes. He noted that Marshall Park is a very enclosed park and it would be difficult for police officers to see people in the pickleball courts with the proposed fencing. He stated that there is vandalism that occurs in the parks that are more visible and expressed concern for how that would affect this park. He expressed concern for young children potentially being hit by cars along Chelmsford Lane due to other residents' comments about the traffic speed and congestion on that street. He stated that the changes to the park being made after the fact was not a good way to present them to the community. Chairman Glass read the language included on the submitted petition to the record. S. Chevon (no address provided) stated that she has lived in Elk Grove Village for 53 years. She stated that she is appalled that the playground space is being taken away and turned into a sports complex surrounded by residential properties. She stated that there will be increased traffic, danger, and noise to her neighborhood. She commented that she cannot stand the sound of pickleball when she is at the Pavilion and has since elected to not walk the track at the Pavilion while people are playing pickleball, but nearby homeowners would not be able to make that decision. She stated that the Park District is bringing a horrendous thing to the neighborhood. She asked why those people who want to play pickleball instead play it at the existing facilities. She commented that the proposed noise mitigation for the courts is ugly. S. Zike (299 Shelley Road) commented that noise pollution can have a negative effect on people's mental health. She stated that the park is surrounded on all four sides by homes. She stated that having noise until 10 p.m. would generate too much noise pollution. She stated that she believes this location is the wrong place for pickleball courts. Chairman Glass noted that the Police Department looked at the parking lot and he agrees that there is enough parking. He commented that the Village will be obligated to remedy the parking issue to restrict parking to one side of the street in the event that parking becomes a significant issue. He stated that he does not believe that traffic will be a problem. Chairman Glass stated that he does have some concern about the park potentially being open until 10 p.m. because there is no neighborhood park that is open that late. Chairman Glass commented that he does not understand why the Park District came before the Plan Commission if they were planning to meet with the residents for more feedback. 12 B. Curcio stated that the Park District chose to have this hearing because they wanted to have approval for the lighting and pickleball courts beforehand. He stated that the Park District will hold to their word and will meet with the residents for additional feedback. Chairman Glass commented that if the Park District makes any significant changes to their plan, they will need to return before the Plan Commission for another hearing. Chairman Glass asked the Petitioner if they wish to make any comments following public comment. B. Curcio stated that the Park District only has programming for soccer in the spring and the fall. He stated that the splash pad will only be open in the summertime, which the Park District believes will prevent many of the parking concerns because the amenities will not all be operating at the same time. He stated that there are sound mitigation measures available to address the sound of pickleball games and that the Park District is happy to provide additional sound mitigation measures. He stated that the park would be free to use and would have any fees associated with its use unless there was a tournament, which does require prepayment for the program. He stated that 24/7 usage of a park is unheard of, and the Park District does not anticipate constant traffic to Marshall Park. He stated that the Park District is trying to create more recreational opportunities for the community. He noted that none of their decisions are final until the Park District has spoken to the community again. Commissioner Rettberg stated that he does not see why the park needs to be open until 10 p.m., and there has been no compelling reason in favor of this closing time. B. Curcio stated that a 9 p.m. closing time may be more reasonable. Commissioner Weiner stated that the Park District has discussed their proposal for a year and that to go before the Plan Commission, public notice must be sent to the community. She stated that she is satisfied that the Park District will return to the community for feedback. Commissioner Geinosky stated that he supports the park closing at 9 p.m. He stated that he is concerned about pickleball surrounded completely by residential homes. He stated that he would prefer to see the pickleball courts be indoors or for the Park District to convert the tennis courts by the Pavilion into pickleball courts. He commented that he rarely sees those tennis courts being used and he believes that area is more well -suited to pickleball. Commissioner Morrill stated that he believes Marshall Park is the wrong location for pickleball courts. He stated that the noise dampening fence may negatively affect the Police Department's ability to surveil the park. Commissioner Schumm stated that he believes Marshall Park is not the right place for pickleball courts. He commented that the Park District should have gone to the community before putting 13 the plan before the Plan Commission. He stated that he feels the Park District is shoehorning this into a space where it does not belong. Chairman Glass stated that he disagrees and that he believes having the different recreational opportunities are good and not all of them will get used all at once. He stated he believes this park will be a significant asset to the community. He agreed that the lights should turn off at 9 p.m. He commented that any park has noise and it is something that comes with living near a park. RECOMMENDATION Commissioner Geinosky moved to recommend denial of the Petition for Special Use for modifications to a Planned Development by altering the existing site plan to add six (6) pickleball courts with pickleball court and soccer field lighting at Marshall Park located at 711 Chelmsford Lane, and denial of the following variance request: • Variation from Section 7.1 of the Zoning Code to allow structures in excess of thirty-five feet (35') in the R-4 Residential Zoning District. Commissioner Schumm seconded the motion to recommend denial of the petitions. Upon voting (Rettberg, Geinosky, Morrill, Schumm, DeFrenza, Bacigalupo AYES, Weiner, Glass, NAY), the motion recommend denial passed 6-2.
