1 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. I 'd like to call the
2 ZBA Docket 07-6 to order. What I 'm going to read is to
3 read the legal notice, and then I will ask who is going
4 to do the talking, if all three of you are going to
5 talk, and then I will swear you in and ask you to state
6 why you' re asking for the variation.
7 Public notice is hereby given that on
8 Thursday, September 20, 2007, at the hour of
9 7 : 00 o' clock at the Charles J. Zettek Municipal
10 Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village,
11 Illinois, the Zoning Board of Appeals will conduct a
12 public hearing to condition the petition of Reinhard
13 Gergen representing both Willie Washer Manufacturing
14 Company, owner of record, for the property at
15 2101 Greenleaf Avenue and 2001 Greenleaf Avenue, Limited
16 Partnership, owner of record, for the property at
17 2001 Greenleaf Avenue, for a variation from the
18 provisions of the Elk Grove Village Zoning Ordinance
19 No. 2410, as it pertains to side yard setback
20 requirements .
21 Sections 3-7 :D. 1 and 7-1 prohibit the
22 construction of structures within the ten foot side yard
23 setback in 1-2 zoning districts . The petitioner is
24 requesting a variation that would permit the
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
4
1 construction of a structure that would join two existing
2 buildings and encroach into the ten foot required side
3 yard setback at each of the above referenced parcels .
4 The proposed structure is 14 foot tall, 13
5 foot wide and 125 foot wide steel panel covered pathway
6 that will be used to accommodate the transportation of
7 goods between the two existing buildings .
8 Said properties are legally described as
9 follows which is written up. I won' t read that . All
10 persons interested are invited to attend and will be
11 given the opportunity to be heard. This meeting will be
12 accessible to individuals with disabilities . Persons
13 requiring accommodation are requested to contact the
14 Village Clerk preferably no later than five days before
15 the hearing.
16 Which one of you gentlemen are going to talk
17 or all three?
18 MR. BRISSKE: Possibly all three.
19 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: All three? Will you all
20 stand up, raise your right hand, and be sworn.

1 WARNER H. BRISSKE
2 JIM NEUMANN
3 REINHARD GERGEN,
4 called as witnesses herein, having been first duly
5 sworn, WERE examined and testified as follows :
6 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: State the reason why you' re
7 looking for this variation.
8 MR. NEUMANN: Well --
9 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Your name, for the record.
10 MR. NEUMANN: I am Jim Neumann. The reason we
11 are looking for a variation, as you read, to allow us to
12 transport goods back and forth between the buildings .
13 Primarily we are going to house raw materials in the new
14 building we purchased, which is the smaller of the two
15 buildings .
16 MR. BRISSKE: This is the primary building and
17 this is the newly purchased building.
18 MR. NEUMANN: So the newly purchased building
19 will house basically coil steel raw materials . The
20 existing large facility here, basically, all the
21 stamping operation is being done here .
22 So we are going to transport a lot of coiled
23 steel back and forth between these buildings . Some of
24 these coils of steel may be as much as 10, 000 pounds
GINA NUNES C.S .R.
(847) 891-2724
6
1 apiece; and based on current production, we are probably
2 looking at probably 100, 000 pounds back and forth daily.
3 And the reason we feel we need to cover this
4 thing is that in the wintertime we 've got slick
5 surfaces, we 've got snow to deal with, we feel it ' s a
6 real safety hazard for our employees to try to transport
7 these things on forklifts in those conditions .
8 MR. BRISSKE: We 've also -- the other issue is
9 obviously the potential damage to the material . This is
10 a steel material, it ' s subject to corrosion, subject to
11 moisture . We 've got controlled environments in both
12 buildings . And I guess we kind of jumped ahead of where
13 we wanted to go. I wanted Jim to give a little bit of
14 history about the company.
15 MR. NEUMANN: Can I give you just a little bit
16 of history about the company?
17 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Sure.
18 MR. NEUMANN: Basically, we are a
19 manufacturer. Primarily, our business is stamping. We
20 also do some laser cutting, we do some machine machining
21 of parts . The laser cutting has been shifted into this
22 building as of a little bit less than a year ago.
23 Machining of parts is also going to be done in this
24 building now.
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
7
1 Primarily, 80 percent of this building is
2 going to be taken up by coiled steel . Stamping
3 operations are still going to remain in this building,
4 along with shipping. Any office personnel will still be
5 in this building.
6 So initially this business began in 1972 in
7 Rosemont . We 've been in Elk Grove since 1976 . So we 've
8 moved three times since 1976, but it ' s always been
9 within Elk Grove, so our hope is to stay in Elk Grove .
10 But probably three, four years ago we began to have a
11 lot of space problems in this building, became a real
12 safety hazard, became inefficient as far as the
13 operations go. We needed more space .
14 We looked at buildings in the area. We felt
15 it wasn' t wise to try to transport goods back and forth
16 between this building and another building. We also
17 looked at possibly moving out west to a new facility,
18 but we knew there was also problems in that, trying to
19 move a facility of this size.
20 So this building, as of two years ago, I
21 believe, became available to us for purchase. We felt
22 it was the best solution. Allows us to stay where we
23 are right now and would allow us to move things back and
24 forth efficiently.
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
8
1 But like I say, the problem right now is we 'd
2 like to cover these things so we don' t have a lot of
3 problems in the winter, when it rains, whatever.
4 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. Before I go for
5 questions, I 'm going to jump around a little bit .
6 Justin, is there any problem in the fire department?
7 MR. HERREN: I did talk to the fire
8 department . There really wasn' t too many concerns . I
9 know they were looking at unlimited area of building,
10 but to tell you the truth, those look like they' re
11 unlimited. They are. The size of them are just huge,
12 so.
13 They really didn' t have any issues. There was
14 one about turnaround space, but that ' s in a parking lot .
15 Usually you want the parking lots on the streets or on
16 the dead end zones . So those were two concerns and I
17 got back to them and they didn' t really have any issues
18 at all .
19 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: And the other question I
20 have is are employees going to be walking back and forth
21 also or is this just strictly taking the coils of steel
22 from one building and moving them to the other?
23 MR. NEUMANN: This is basically just for
24 forklifts .
GINA NUNES C.S .R.
(847) 891-2724
9
1 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. I will open questions
2 to the commissioners . Joe.
3 MR. MEISTER: How many trips do you see going
4 back and forth during the day?
5 MR. NEUMANN: Probably in the neighborhood of
6 50, I would guess. The average coil is probably 1 to
7 2 , 000 pounds, so based on current production of 100, 000
8 pounds, probably 1 to 2 , 000 pounds .
9 MR. MEISTER: I take it that ' s one forklift at
10 a time .
11 MR. NEUMANN: Yes . That ' s the intent of this .
12 MR. MEISTER: I don' t have much more than
13 that . That ' s fine.
14 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Gil?
15 MR. SCHUMAN: In your documents it ' s not clear
16 to me that -- the first parcel you purchased was at
17 2101 Greenleaf back in 187 . Does that sound about
18 right?
19 MR. NEUMANN: Yes .
20 MR. SCHUMAN: It ' s not clear from your equity
21 certificate who' s in title. Is it in a land trust?
22 MR. NEUMANN: It ' s an LLC, the title of the
23 additional building.
24 MR. SCHUMAN: Which LLC is that?
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
10
1 MR. NEUMANN: It ' s 2001 Greenleaf, LLC.
2 MR. SCHUMAN: So each parcel are two different
3 LLCs?
4 MR. NEUMANN: Basically, two different LLCs .
5 MR. SCHUMAN: So two different LLC buildings?
6 MR. NEUMANN: It ' s an S Corp.
7 MR. SCHUMAN: So it ' s a regular corporation.
8 S Corp, IRS designation.
9 Are you an Illinois corporation?
10 MR. NEUMANN: Yes.
11 MR. SCHUMAN: And the LLC is licensed also in
12 Illinois?
13 MR. NEUMANN: Yes.
14 MR. SCHUMAN: You said the shareholders in
15 both the corporation and the LLC are the same .
16 MR. NEUMANN: Yes .
17 MR. SCHUMAN: My concern is that these are two
18 separate parcels; and if we grant the variation, it ' s
19 likely that if you sell sometime in the far distant
20 future that you' re going to have to sell both lots
21 together, correct?
22 MR. BRISSKE: Well, not necessarily. The
23 point of the construction -- my name is Werner Brisske.
24 I 'm with Partners In Design. I 'm the architect
S
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(84 7) 8 91-2 724
11
1 assisting them with this process .
2 The point of the type of construction as a
3 noncombustible but as a metal building is that it is
4 relatively easy to dismantle. If they' re selling a
5 piece, obviously the connection no longer needs to be
6 there . They could very easily sell off one or the other
7 without it becoming a major cost to demolish this .
8 MR. SCHUMAN: But I understand with the
9 variance, it runs with the land, so if you grant the
10 variance, it ' s going to be there for the rest of the
11 time .
12 MR. BRISSKE: Which would then, in the long
13 term, grant the permission to do that, although if they
14 were separate pieces, there would be no reason to do
15 that . Yes . I understand that .
16 MR. SCHUMAN: Okay. And have you discussed
17 what kind of color you' re going to eventually use on the
18 structure?
19 MR. GERGEN: I 'm Reinhard Gergen. I work at
20 Willie Washer. In the discussions that I had with the
21 building department, that was open. We haven' t really
22 discussed the colors . It would be to match both
23 buildings, to match the scenery --
24 MR. BRISSKE: Kind of blend in.
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
12
1 MR. SCHUMAN: Are there going to be windows?
2 MR. BRISSKE: There would be some windows,
3 yes .
4 MR. SCHUMAN: Are you going to have a fire
5 escape doors in this structure?
6 MR. BRISSKE: Fire escape door as well, yes .
7 MR. SCHUMAN: One or two?
8 MR. BRISSKE: Two.
9 MR. SCHUMAN: You talked to the building
10 department about any needed ventilation?
11 MR. GERGEN: We didn' t go that far. What we
12 submitted to them they said we needed to go to the
13 zoning hearing, and then we would work with them after
14 that .
15 MR. SCHUMAN: That ' s all I have, Mr. Chairman,
16 thank you.
17 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. Larry.
18 MR. MICHALSKI : The ventilation will be in the
19 building?
20 MR. GERGEN: The ventilation?
21 MR. MICHALSKI : Ventilation, yes .
22 MR. GERGEN: Yes. However, we will work with
23 the building department . However they would like us to
24 take care of that, we will .
GINA NUNES C.S .R.
(847) 891-2724
13
1 MR. MICHALSKI : What kind of forklifts are you
2 going to drive through there?
3 MR. BRISSKE: You mean whether they' re
4 electric or propane?
5 MR. MICHALSKI : Yes .
6 MR. GERGEN: We run both, electric and
7 propane .
8 MR. MICHALSKI : That ' s why I asked about the
9 ventilation. When you put the fire escape doors in or
10 whatever, you' re going to have to knock the brickwork
11 off out at the curb to make the doors level to the
12 ground.
13 MR. BRISSKE: Yes . You' re saying off the
14 existing curb? That ' s correct .
15 MR. NEUMANN: I think that has been done
16 already.
17 MR. MICHALSKI : Pardon?
18 MR. NEUMANN: That has been done already.
19 MR. MICHALSKI : I didn' t see that .
20 MR. GERGEN: The curbs that are on there,
21 taking the curbs out so there ' s no step when you go in
22 and out .
23 MR. BRISSKE: Correct . That would be a level
24 transition.
GINA NUNES C. S.R.
(847) 891-2724
14
1 MR. MICHALSKI : You wouldn' t have any attempt
2 in the future as you using that as a loading dock, would
3 you?
4 MR. GERGEN: No. It ' s inaccessible as a
5 loading dock.
6 MR. MICHALSKI : But if you were to move those
7 garbage containers out and you had a door put in there,
8 you probably could maneuver a forklift .
9 MR. NEUMANN: There ' s actually another door
10 adjacent to the door we are proposing here so there ' s no
11 need to make this a loading dock. We 've already got one
12 there.
13 MR. BRISSKE: And it ' s not a dock height . Its
14 a grade level drive-in door. It ' s not a dock door.
15 MR. MICHALSKI : That ' s all I have .
16 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. Don.
17 MR. CHILDRESS : I guess I had a couple
18 questions . One related to you talked about the issues
19 of separate owner -- or separate ownership now but
20 common usage and potential for, maybe in the distant
21 future, if the needs of the business change, maybe
22 separate ownership and the ability of it somewhat
23 temporary accessory structure to be changed for a lower
24 cost .
GINA NUNES C.S.R.
(847) 891-2724
15
• 1 Was there any consideration to a permanent,
2 like a strip or other type of footing and some sort of
3 like a masonry structure to be put in, or depending upon
4 what the Village said it might be?
5 MR. BRISSKE: We did talk about that . Our
6 preference is to have it be something that would be more
7 easily removable .
8 Obviously we want to maintain -- the greatest
9 flexibility that the owner has is to maintain these as
10 two separate operates properties and two separate
11 entities so that if business were to change for them and
12 they were to either ultimately move and want to sell
13 them individually or scale back down and change their
14 business so they were all in one building again, they
15 could sell the other asset very easily without having to
16 go through a consolidation and resub and things like
17 that .
18 So, again, from a point of, I guess, real
19 estate flexibility, the goal would be to have it be,
20 again, I guess what you' re calling a temporary accessory
21 structure, which is, to us, just more logical . If the
22 Village wished to require that it have masonry on it, I
23 guess we would explore that and take that up through our
24 process, but our goal would be for it to be of a work
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
16
1 more temporary in nature.
2 MR. CHILDRESS : So between you and your
3 workings with the Village, if they require either a
4 different wall system, whether it be masonry or precast
5 panel or whatever means of construction, you and the
6 Village would work that out as you need to, right?
7 MR. BRISSKE: Right .
8 MR. CHILDRESS : And then if you did connect
9 the structures with whatever these other materials might
10 be, then it ' s almost like one larger structure rather
11 than two structures --
12 MR. BRISSKE: Right .
13 Mr. CHILDRESS : -- with an accessory linkage
14 element .
15 And I had a question earlier about perhaps
16 resurveying, resubdividing, replotting, if the ownership
17 is common, but you already said that the ownership is
18 separate but related trustees or whatever. So I
19 understand that issue now.
20 MR. BRISSKE: Right .
21 MR. CHILDRESS : And there is rail access to
22 each building for materials?
23 MR. BRISSKE: Yes .
24 MR. CHILDRESS : Okay.
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(84 7) 891-2724
17
1 MR. BRISSKE : But it ' s not utilized, the rail?
2 MR. NEUMANN: Right . The rail is there --
3 MR. BRISSKE: It ' s available but it ' s not
4 used.
5 MR. CHILDRESS : So it ' s all truck delivery of
6 material and product?
7 MR. BRISSKE: Yes .
8 MR. CHILDRESS : Thank you.
9 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Joe.
10 MR. OLIVETO: There won' t be any problem with
11 utilities being moved or anything?
12 MR. BRISSKE: No. There ' s nothing in the way.
13 MR. OLIVETO: Nothing' s in the way?
14 MR. BRISSKE: No. No, sir.
15 MR. OLIVETO: How about your parking problems?
16 Will that change by putting this in? Will you still
17 have enough parking?
18 MR. BRISSKE: No. Parking is fine. We 've
19 analyzed the employee count and --
20 MR. OLIVETO: You don' t expect to have many
21 more employees that would require --
22 MR. NEUMANN: No. With the two buildings
23 we 've more than sufficient parking right now.
24 MR. OLIVETO: That ' s all I have.
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(84 7) 891-2724
18
1 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Larry.
2 MR. DOHRER: The actual location is to the
3 south of the building near the two overhead doors?
4 MR. GERGEN: Yes .
5 MR. NEUMANN: Right .
6 MR. DOHRER: Does this in any way interfere
7 with the location of your trash compacters?
8 MR. BRISSKE: No. The dumpsters are to the
9 front of it .
10 MR. DOHRER: I drove there and saw that . And
11 then I noticed that -- will this interfere in any way
12 with your truck maneuvering?
13 MR. GERGEN: Fork truck maneuvering?
14 MR. DOHRER: No. When delivering product .
15 MR. NEUMANN: Generally there ' s no deliveries
16 in the back lot anyway, so.
17 MR. DOHRER: Because there ' s a lot of truck
18 docks back there?
19 MR. BRISSKE: There are no docks back there.
20 There is a drive-in door here, but there are no docks
21 back there.
22 MR. GERGEN: There ' s a large door that we use
23 for machinery, if we purchase machinery, to move the
24 larger trucks in and out of . There ' s a smaller door
GINA NUNES C.S .R.
(847) 891-2724
19
1 that they use daily to bring scrap out to the hoppers or
2 to the wood hopper. For the most part, the large door
3 is blocked by the hoppers, and the smaller door for the
4 tunnel, that ' s the one that they use back and forth.
5 MR. DOHRER: And how about the floor levels
6 between the buildings as far as -- I know there ' s curbs
7 and blacktop there . Would you remove that blacktop
8 that ' s there now with this building and put a different
9 flooring down?
10 MR. BRISSKE: No. We 've already installed a
11 concrete walk, so to speak, or a roadway.
12 MR. DOHRER: Okay. And that ' s basically
13 level .
14 MR. BRISSKE: Yes . The floor elevations are
15 slightly different but that --
16 MR. DOHRER: Very minor.
17 MR. BRISSKE: Right . That surface makes the
18 difference. It ' s very minor.
19 MR. DOHRER: That ' s all I have.
20 CHAIRMAN KAPLAN: Okay. I would open this to
21 the public but -- if there are any questions from the
22 public back there, and I pretty much know both of them.
23 Any concerns in engineering at all?
24 MR. HERREN: There are some concerns but
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(84 7) 891-2724
20
1 they' re mainly with the building as far as sprinkler
2 protection, of course, ventilation, you know, possibly
3 the way the doors are going to actual -- I imagine your
4 doors are going to have automated doors on each
5 building.
6 MR. GERGEN: They are activated now. They
7 have loops in them.
8 MR. HERREN: And just foundation too. I know
9 there was probably one discussion that we had, the first
10 proposal was the membrane structure. I don' t know what
11 you guys are proposing as far as that concrete that ' s in
12 there now, how far it ' s down, or if it was going to be a
13 floating building.
14 MR. BRISSKE: It ' s essentially a floating
15 curb. I mean, I 'm trying to remember what the depth of
16 the building is. I think we are down to 12 or 18
17 inches, but the intent we 've is that it would
18 essentially be its own piece.
19 It ' s going to be heated, probably sufficiently
20 to obviously -- to prevent sprinklers from freezing, but
21 as far as it being able to move, if we get a crack from
22 frost, that ' s not going to impact their operation, it ' s
23 not going to devalue what we 've got there .
24 MR. HERREN: Okay. The only other thing was
GINA NUNES C. S .R.
(847) 891-2724
21
1 when I was out there when we first started taking this
2 issue on is I went out there, it was during the day, and
3 one of my concerns was the parking lot, because in
4 between it almost seemed like it was a divided parking
5 lot . I don' t know if there was a guardrail in between.
6 MR. BRISSKE: Right .
7 MR. HERREN: It was just the overall movement
8 of traffic, if there was something to happen, to get
9 cars out --
10 MR. BRISSKE: That was the demarc between the
11 two properties?
12 MR. HERREN: Right .
13 MR. BRISSKE: And they never were connected so
14 it ' s not like we took a loop out . I mean, there was a
15 little bit of a curb and a --
16 MR. NEUMANN: The guardrail still exists .
17 MR. BRISSKE: -- guardrail which is still
18 there, but they were always two separate lots .
19 MR. NEUMANN: Yes . This wouldn' t prevent
20 traffic from leaving the building. We are not going to
21 drive out to the tracks anyway.
22 MR. BRISSKE: He ' s talking about traffic in
23 and out .
24 MR. HERREN: The movement of the cars within
GINA NUNES C. S.R.
(847) 891-2724
22
is 1 the parking lot .
2 MR. BRISSKE: The only thing that ' s changed is
3 it would shorten up. It ' s just shortened up from what
4 it used to be. That ' s all .
5 MR. GERGEN: The guys that moved in from one
6 building moved into the other building there and are
7 using that parking spaces on that building. And that
8 building has parking on east and west .
9 MR. NEUMANN: The west is not even utilized
10 right now.
11 MR. HERREN: I didn' t even get to see that
12 one. That ' s on the smaller building?
13 MR. NEUMANN: Yes .
