Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the CapitalImprovements Committee, reported that the Committee will be meeting Wednesday, February 13, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. The Village Manager referred to a report from the Plan Commission dated September 27 , 1990 regarding a petition to rezone the Park & Shop Shopping Center from B-1 to B-3. That petition became somewhat confusing with regards to the parking standards and parking requirements for that Shopping Center. Subsequent to the hearing, by the Plan Commission, the Director of Engineering and Community Development researched the parking requirements for the Park & Shop Shopping Center and has concluded that the zoning change for that property, which will benefit the Shell Oil Company, will not have to be varied or modified. Therefore, a second hearing on that issue before the Zoning Board of Appeals may be terminated. - 3 - 2-12-91 The Plan Commission recommends a "Do Grant" on the rezoning of the property. The 3oard may now authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance granting the rezoning from B-1 to B-3 with stipulations as recommenced by the Plan Commission. Trustee Gallitano, Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee, requested that the Committee be briefed on the issues that surrounded this proposed improvement and look at what is happening there relative to landscaping and the drainage of the proposed car wash at that busy intersection. The consensus of the Board was to offer no objection to the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee reviewing this proposed improvement. Staff will set a meeting date for this review. It was the consensus of the Board that the Attorney should prepare the ordinance granting the requested zoning change, with the stipulations, for the Park & Shop Shopping Center even though this project is being reviewed by the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee. It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance to rezone property located at the intersection of Arlington Heights Road and Higgins Road from B-1 to B-3 as recommended by the Plan Commission. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager reported that the Village Staff has completed its lengthy study of parking requirements for shopping centers zoned B-2 and B-3, which was item C, of the Plan Commission Agenda. This report will be distributed to the Board by the end of the week. The Village tanager reported that the Zoning Board of Appeals upon hearing testimony at a public hearing for a side yard variation from the Zoning Ordnance for property located at 1203 Timber Drive recommend "Do Grant". It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Boara direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance granting a variation from the side yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for property located at 1203 Timber Drive. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Zettek reported as follows: 1. The O'Hare Advisory Committee will meet on Thursday, February 14, 1951 at 10:00 a.m. in the Amelia Earhart Roon of the O'Hare Hilton. 2. The Suburban O' Hare Commission has adopted its budget for the coming year and the per capita remains the same, $0.25 per resident per quarter. 3. The City of Des Plaines was looking at the wisdom of remaining with the Suburban O'Hare Commission, since they represent a municipality of over 55,000 people, and therefore pay the greatest burden of per capita fee of any of the members of the Suburban O'Hare Commission. President Zettek; Mayor of Bensenville, John Giles; and SOC staff members , Kathy Lane and Matt Rosenberg appeared before the Des Plaines Committee on licenses and addressed some of the advantages for remaining as a member of the Commission. The Des Plaines Committee voted unanimously to stay with the Suburban O' Hare Commission, and will make that recommenc'ation to their Board. - 4 - 2-12-91 Trustee Gallitano, member of the Board of Directors of the Illinois International Convention Center, reported that there was a meeting last Wednesday of certain Mayors and State Representatives to develop a policy and approach toward the new Governor, to determine whether or not he would be receptive to funding the convention center. Trustee Gallitano stated that he believes that the policy is being implemented and there should be notice of that effort back shortly. President Zettek stated that the Governor has assured the participating communities that he will meet with an appropriate representation of members from the five participating communities and from the Illinois International Convention Center. The Village Clerk requested the Board to consider the approval of a resolution adopting the 1990 Zoning Map. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board adopt Resolution No. 7-91 entitled, "A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1990 '.
