Rettenbacher, Building Commissioner Public Hearing, Docket 81-4: Petition of Mr. Cosmo Tisbo for rezoning from B-2 to I-1 of property located at the northwest corner of Howard Street and Busse Road The Plan Commission, acting as a Zoning Commission, conducted a Public Hearing on the petition of Cosmo Tisbo. The petitioner was requesting that the Village rezone approximately three acres of property from B-2 (General Business District) to I-1 (Restricted Industrial District) . The property is located at the northwest corner of Busse Road and Howard Street. A building, which formerly housed the Elk Grove Tennis Club, is located on the site. Peter J. Miller, Attorney, was present to represent the petitioner. Miller stated that the property is held in a land trust by the American National Bank with the sole beneficiary being Mr. Cosmo Tisbo. Miller explained that the petitioner is the principal shareholder in Custom Plastics, Inc. , a custom plastic extrusion and injection molding firm located at 1920 and 1940 Lunt Avenue. He added that the petitioner hopes to relocate some of his manufacturing and warehousing activities to the Howard Street location. Miller noted that the previous use of the building as a tennis club was not profitable and that the best use of the property would be a warehousing and manufacturing facility. He added that the property was originally zoned for restricted industrial uses prior to being rezoned to accommodate the tennis club. Geinosky asked about the type of manufacturing that would take place at the site. Miller replied that the petitioner is involved in manufacturing various types of plastic materials as permitted in the I-1 zoning district. Paliganoff inquired if the industrial use would have a negative affect on the neighboring properties or contribute to a traffic or pollution problem. Miller responded that he did not anticipate any of these types of problems. • Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - May 6, 1981 Docket 81-4 (continued) Paliganoff questioned whether or not the construction of the existing structure is suitable for an industrial use. Miller related that the petitioner would make minor renovations to the structure as needed to comply with the Building Code and Zoning Ordinance. Paliganoff also asked if the petitioner planned to keep some of the tennis courts in the facility. Miller reported that all of the tennis courts would be removed for manufacturing and warehousing activities. Fulton inquired about the zoning of the surrounding area. Rettenbacher explained that the property to the north of the site is zoned B-2, the property to the south is zoned B-3, and the property to the west is zoned I-1. Russell Vansant, 268 Redwood Lane, expressed dissappointment that the community would be losing the tennis facility. He expressed the opinion that the tennis operation could be a successful business if it was properly managed. Glass advised the petitioner that the testimony will be discussed by the Plan Commission at a meeting on May 20, 1981. A full account of the proceedings is available in the Official Transcript. Golf Course Glass reported that he had attended a meeting on Thursday, April 30, 1981 between the Park District, Centex, and the Village Board. The Park District was attempting to secure a general consensus among Village Board members regarding the golf course prior to allocating funds for engineering and design work. The general consensus among the Village Board members was that they are in favor of the general idea and could accept any reasonable zoning changes to accommodate the golf course. The public hearing before the Plan Commission on a proposed Text Amendment and zoning changes to accommodate the golf course is expected to be scheduled for June 3, 1981. Noise Restrictions Glass reported that on April 14, 1981 the Village Board awarded a contract to Polytechnic Incorporated, Lincolnwood, Illinois to review the Zoning Ordinance provisions concerning noise standards in industrial districts and submit a draft of a Text Amendment which incorporates recommended revisions to the Standards. The contract is to update the performance standards to be compatible with EPA regulations. The public hearing on the proposed Text Amendment is not expected to take place in the next several months.
