Item 1: 1225— 1331 Greenleaf- Resubdivision Chairman Geinosky introduced the resubdivision of 1225 —1331 Greenleaf Avenue. The petitioner is requesting the plat be returned to two individual lots with stand-alone buildings on each lot. The existing link between the buildings will be removed should the Plan Commission grant the requested subdivision. Petitioner, Mark Katz, briefed the Commission on the history of his property. The two buildings, which are currently linked, have had numerous tenants in the past. The building was most recently marketed as two individual buildings. When Gemstone purchased the property they intended to market the building as one 70,000 square foot facility. Late last year, Gemstone received interest for a 30,000 square foot facility from an existing company in Elk Grove, Magnetic Inspection Laboratory, Inc. Gemstone has since requested the property division and has Magnetic Inspection Laboratory (MIL) under contract to purchase the property pending the resubdivision. Commission Sokolowski asked the petitioner to clarify where 1343 Greenleaf Avenue is located. Mr. Katz explained that the 1331 Greenleaf building was built out in the back at one point and the property in the back took on the 1343 address for mail purposes. The build out will remain but the property will only be marketed as one address. Commission Sokolowski also asked the petitioner to elaborate on the parking for these buildings. Mr. Katz explained that a drive-in door will be installed and the 1225 building and the two buildings will mirror each other. The area where the link is standing will now become part of the parking lot and parking will not be allowed in the center section between the buildings. He also stated that all of the parking on either side of 1225 is for MIL only. Commissioner Thompson agreed with all of the staff review comments. Commissioner John Glass arrived and allowed Commissioner Geinosky to remain the acting Chairman at 7:10 p.m. Commission Hauser asked the petitioner what work is being done on the far west side of the building. Mr. Katz explained the exterior of the building is being painted. Commissioner Geinosky asked staff to elaborate on the Director of Engineering's comment stating the subdivision should be granted"subject to final approval of the parking"plan. The Deputy Director of Community Development confirmed that all subdivisions are subject to final parking plan approval by Village staff and this does not have to be a condition of approval. Commission Geinosky asked staff to explain the Police Department's comment that stated they stood by their original comments. The Assistant Village Manager explained the landscape will have to be updated continually and the Police Department expects the building to remain compliant with their initial comments regarding lighting and modest landscaping. Commissioner Meyers moved to recommend approval of the resubdivision petition for 1225 — 1331 Greenleaf Avenue. 'Commissioner Thompson seconded the motion.
