right-of-way for Nerge and Meacham Roads. Cummins seconded the motion
and all present voted 'AYE' .
Docket 80-6: K1ehm Petition for Text Amendment,
preannexation rezoning of 116.4 acres,
and rezoning of 8 acres
Howard G. Krafsur, developer (Bennett and Kahnweiler Associates) ,
and Benjamin Randle, attorney (Marks, Katz, et al) , were present to
represent the petitioners. The petitioners were requesting that the
Village take the following action:
(1) Adopt a Text Amendment to the Elk Grove Village Zoning
Ordinance establishing an Office Park Special Use District;
(2) Rezone approximately 7.23 acres of property currently within
the corporate limits of the Village from Light Industrial to
Office Park Special Use District;
(3) Approve the preannexation rezoning of approximately 117 acres
of property for an Office Park Special Use District use.
The property is located east of Arlington Heights Road and south of the
Illinois Toll Road.
Kenna inquired whether or not the petitioner would be willing to
change the classification of the Office Park District from a Special
Use to a Conditional Use. Randle agreed to change the classification to
Office Park Conditional Use District.
Glass asked that a limitation be placed upon the types of drive-in
facilities that are permitted in the proposed Office Park District.
Randle agreed to exclude drive-in restaurants as a permitted use in
the proposed District.
Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - December 3, 1980
Rettenbacher questioned whether or not the term "ancillary" could
be changed to "accessory" throughout the proposed Text Amendment. Randle
agreed to the change proposed by Rettenbacher.
Randle suggested that convention and meeting facilities be permitted
as an accessory use to a restaurant, hotel or office building in the
proposed Office Park District. The Plan Commission concurred with
Randle's suggestion.
Cummins remarked that the servicing of helicopters would be an
unacceptable use in the proposed District. Randle agreed to revise
Section 5.74-2(h) of the Text Amendment to read that heliports and
public transportation facilities would be permitted "exclusive of
service and maintenance of such facilities".
Randle agreed to incorporate the Plan Commission's suggestion to
have the Text Amendment limit the number of identification signs to a
maximum of three per building. Randle also agreed with Mullen's
suggestion to increase the minimum front yard setback requirement to
100 feet along major thoroughfares.
Several of the Plan Commission members expressed concern about the
parking requirements for hotel uses in the proposed Office Park District.
The consensus of the Plan Commission was that the parking requirements
for any hotel use in which the public area encompasses less than 50% of
the aggregate square footage of the hotel should be 1.3 parking spaces
for each sleeping room or suite. In any hotel in which the public area
exceeds 50% of the total square footage of the entire hotel then the
parking regulations applicable to the O & T Office and Transitional
District should apply.
Cummins stated that she agreed with the provisions in Text Amendment
for compact size parking spaces. However, she added that all standard
size parking spaces should be 10 feet by 20 feet in size.
The consensus of the Plan Commission was that standard size parking
spaces should be not smaller than 9 feet by 18 feet and that compact
size parking spaces should be not smaller than 9 feet by 16 feet, In
addition, not less than 60 per cent of the required parking spaces
should be of the standard size (9 feet by 18 feet) .
Cummins expressed disappointment that the testimony from the
petitioners did not include a more detailed description of the soil
conditions in the area.
Krafsur agreed with the Plan Commission's suggestion that sidewalks
be required along major thoroughfares in the Office Park District. He
also agreed that a walkway should be provided to allow for pedestrian
travel between the structures in the Office Park, but stated that the
walkway would not necessarily be in the right-of-way.
Paliganoff asked when the petitioner proposed to expand the lake
at the site. Krafsur responded that the lake would be reshaped during
the first phase of construction.

Plan Commission Minutes - 3 - December 3, 1980
Krafsur stated that he would agree to change the minimum size of
loading spaces in the Office Park District to comply with the Village
requirements. Krafsur observed that the Plan Commission and petitioner
had come to an agreement on all the provisions to be included in the
proposed Text Amendment.
Kenna stated the petitioner should prepare a revised Text Amendment
which incorporates the suggestions from the Plan Commission. He added
that the petition would be considered at the next regular meeting of
the Plan Commission on December 17, 1980.
The meeting adjourned at 11:55 p.m.
