Docket 87-8: NERGE CENTER PETITION FOR SHARED PARKING
Mr. Lenaghan explained that currently there is a Shared Parking
Plan granted by the Village which permits shared parking in the
Nerge Center between the Mr. Donut business and the Xian Restaurant.
A new restaurant is seeking tenancy and rather than amend the
Plan to a new restaurant name Mr. Lenaghan would like the Plan
Commission to permit shared parking between Mr. Donut and a
carry-out only restaurant in the southern most unit of the center.
Members of the Commission queried the petitioner about current
use of the parking lot, peak hours of business, location of the
parking spaces, length of leases and the proposed tenant. Chairman
Glass requested information on the users and parking use at other
strip shopping centers that the petitioner is involved with in
Elk Grove Village. The petitioner described the tenants and stated
that parking is not a problem at those locations.
Chairman Glass asked Mr. Lenaghan what could be done about the
ingress/egress for the adjacent car wash. Alternatives were
discussed including traffic dividers and one-way restrictions. A
stop sign may help alleviate the problem of cross traffic at a
"blind" corner.
Robin Weaver advised the members that they may want to consider
restricting the business hours of the south carry-out restaurant.
Members discussed possible hours and settled on 11:00 A.M. to
1:00 A.M. as permissible hours.
Earle Kracht raised the separate issue of the day care center's
playground area being located on adjacent property. Mr. Lenaghan
agreed to work out a solution with the Village.
PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES -2- October 7, 1987
A motion was made by George Mullen and seconded by Dave
Paliganoff to recommend approval of an amendment to the shared
parking plan to permit shared parking between a donut shop at
1101 Nerge Road and a carry-out restaurant at 1141 Nerge Road,
said restaurant to be restricted to having business hours no earlier
than 11:00 A.M. nor later than 1 :00 A.M. The motion passed unanimously.
(Cummins and Fulton absent.)
ADJOURNMENT OF PUBLIC HEARING at 8:50 P.M.
TOUHY-HIGGINS PLAT OF SUBDIVISION LOT 4
(bordered on the north by Touhy Avenue and on the south by
Higgins Road)
Members considered the subdivision request with respect to size
of lots, adjacent users and access to the property accommodated by
a cross easement agreement. The petitioner's attorney, Charles Byrum,
distributed copies of the Cross Easement Agreement for Lots 3 and 4
(new lots 1 and 2) to share an access drive. A separate document
provides for easements over all driveways and parking areas to permit
cross pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Robin Weaver advised that
each agreement should be noted on the plat of subdivision of Lot 4.
Members agreed. A motion was made by George Mullen and seconded by
Phil Knudsen to recommend approval of the Touhy-Higgins Subdivision
subject to staff review for inclusion of both cross easements. The
motion was passed unanimously. (Fulton and Cummins absent.)
TOUHY-HIGGINS TEXT AMENDMENT
A brief explanation was provided by Charles Byrum about the up-
coming public hearing on the Touhy-Higgins Text Amendment. Mr. Mc-
Lennan's (owner) concept is to have display areas in an industrial
building. For display uses, the parking requirements are considered
excessive. Therefore, a change is sought in terms of a text
amendment to define the amount of parking required.
ADJOURNMENT 9:50 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
