Public Hearing - Docket 77-12: Convenience Shopping Center
The Plan Commission, acting as a Zoning Commission, continued a
Public Hearing to consider evidence for the establishment of a Convenience
Shopping Center at the southwest corner of Meacham Road and Biesterfield
Road. The petition was requesting the subject property be rezoned from
R-3, Residential District, to B-2, General Business District.
Mr. Calkins and Mr. Lanahan were present to represent the petitioner.
Calkins stated that the petitioner had made a complete presentation at
the first Public Hearing (8-3-77) and there was nothing to add to the
presentation.
Shannon noted that during the original Public Hearing it was determined
that the subject property abutted residential property and therefore a
75 foot setback would be required if the rezoning were approved. However,
Shannon suggested that the issue was further complicated with the fact
that the proposed structure would actually be abutting the Village's new
Fire Station and the proposed Public Works building.
Shannon stated that the Village Attorney had instructed the Plan
Commission on how to handle the 75 foot setback question. Shannon noted
that the Attorney suggested that the Plan Commission and the Zoning Board
of Appeals should handle their specific area of interest separately.
Shannon stated that the Plan Commission would act upon the information
presented during the hearing and send their recommendation to the Village
Board. Upon receiving the recommendation, the Village Board, if they
wished to pursue the authorization of the rezoning, could direct the
Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance. Once this action was made
a meeting for the Zoning Board of Appeals could be set up to consider
the 75 foot setback variation.
Hamilton began the questioning by asking if the petitioner would
provide landscaping for the proposed site. Calkins stated that land-
scaping would be provided. Hamilton continued by asking how the
petitioner intended to supply outside lighting for the proposed facility.
Lanahan stated that they would downgrade the outside lighting, thereby
reducing the annoying glare.

Convenience Shopping Center (continued)
Glass asked if there would be any conflict between the loading
space areas and the driveway entering into the proposed development.
Lanahan stated that there would be no conflict since most of the
proposed stores would be small . Glass next asked if there would be
enough space to allow trucks to turn around once they are in the
loading area. Lanahan stated that enough space was available to allow
trucks to turn around.
At this point Shannon concluded the Public Hearing and he noted
that the Plan Commission would take the petitioner's request under
advisement. A complete account of these proceedings is available in
the Official Transcript.
Docket 77-20 - Text Amendment: Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Centers
Trustee Edward Kenna, George Knickerbocker, Village Attorney, and
Thomas Rettenbacher, Building Commissioner, were present to represent
the petitioner, the Village of Elk Grove Village. The petitioners
were requesting a Text Amendment to Section 5.5 of the Zoning Ordinance,
to amend the Village's B-2, General Business District, as outlined in
the legal notice published in the local paper.
Trustee Kenna began the presentation by noting that the Public
Hearing was not concerning a particular piece of property but rather
it was a matter of zoning. Kenna noted that it was the petitioners
contention that any ambulatory surgical treatment center at present
was not legal in the Village. A complete account of these proceedings
is available in the Official Transcript.
