MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: Kenna, Edward W. , Chairman Cummins, Leah, Secretary Geinosky, Frederick C. Farley, Donna O. Glass, John R. Stangeland, Orrin J. Mullen, George E. STAFF PRESENT: Stephen M. Feller, Administrative Assistant Charles B. Henrici, Deputy Fire Chief Thomas F. Rettenbacher, Building Commissioner Docket 80-2: Semar Petition for Annexation and Rezoning The Plan Commission, acting as a Zoning Commission, conducted a Public Hearing on the petition of Phillip R. Semar, Larry McKone, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Trinity College. The petitioners were requesting that the Village annex 10.46 acres of property located at the southwest corner of Biesterfield and Beisner Roads. The annexation would be made contingent on the property's being zoned O-T, Office Transition District. The Village's Official Map shows the property zoned R-3, Single Family Residence District. Robert Marx, Attorney, Philip Semar, Builder, Al Eichstaedt, Architect, Jerry Kisner, Engineer, Don Ciaglia, Engineer, Rolf Campbell, Planner, and Neil King, Real Estate Counselor, were present to represent the petitioners. Eichstaedt explained that the petitioners are proposing to construct a 52,000 square foot building which would be one (1) story in height. The southern portion of the development would remain a wooded area to serve as compensatory storage space and a buffer for the single family homes. Kisner continued the testimony by asserting that the soil on the site is suitable for this type of development. Ciaglia presented a proposed utility plan for the site. Campbell declared that the proposed development is consistent with good zoning and land use policies, and as designed would have no adverse affect on the nearby residential properties. Campbell added that the surrounding roads can adequately accommodate the traffic that will be generated. Campbell also presented a "Comparative Tax Impact Study" for the Commission's review. King indicated that it would be economically unfeasible to build single family homes on the property. Mullen asked whether or not Campbell had prepared the initial plans for the development. Campbell related that he did not prepare the plans; but did feel that the type of development that is being proposed would be the highest and best use of the land. 0 Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - May 7, 1980 Docket 80-2 (continued) Rettenbacher pointed out that the entire west side of the develop- ment would need to be screened from the abutting single family homes. Geinosky questioned whether or not the developers would be installing deaccelerat.ion lanes along the Biesterfield Road right-of-way in front of the property. Campbell responded that the lanes would be shown on a final site plan. Kenna asked if the Trinity Church would be the eventual owners of the development. Marx reported that Semar Builders has a purchase contract for the property and would be the developers of the site. Ronald Cope identified himself as the attorney for several residents in the area. Cope asked that the Public Hearing be adjourned to another evening in order to give the residents sufficient time to express their views. Kenna advised the petitioner that the Public Hearing would be continued at the May 21, 1980 meeting. A full account of the pro- ceedings is available in the Official Transcript.
