Chairman Glass called the meeting and the public hearing to order at 8:10 p.m. Docket 87-7: Webb-Schmitt Rezoning I-2 to B-3 (Lot 7 of O'Hare International Center for Business, Landmeier Road) Arthur Borkowski, Project Manager with Webb-Schmitt Ventures, Inc. , owner of Lot 7 in the O'Hare International Center for Business subdivision located on Landmeier Road between Higgins and Elmhurst Roads, introduced the rezoning petition. He explained that B-3 zoning is compatible with the area; the site is on an arterial street, and the site is a good business location for the intended use: a truck oil change and lube facility. An interpretation that their use is a permitted use in a B-3 District was requested by the petitioner's Attorney, Ira Leavitt Dale Bull of Engine Service Specialists, Inc. (ESSI) explained that his firm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Tractor. Its intent on this parcel is to establish a prototype truck oil change and lube facility. The business would provide fast service at a pre-set cost to trucks ranging from class 3 (e.g. , bread delivery trucks) to class 8 (large tractor/trailer trucks). Service would be limited to oil changes and lubes. No repair work or any • s Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - July 15, 1987 Docket 87-7: Webb-Schmitt (continued) other services would be available. Service would take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the truck. The estimated cost for said service to a class 8 truck would be $125.95 for a 30 minute, 15 step process. Mr. Bull indicated that this service elsewhere takes approximately 4 hours and costs $170 - $200. His company intends to franchise at a later date. Mr. Bull estimated that on an average, the business would service two delivery trucks, one medium truck, and two large trucks per hour. His firm is completing a telephone survey now to identify potential customers within an eight mile radius of the site. The intent of the firm is to service trucks which are based in this area -- not to draw business from the interstate highway. He anticipates hours of operation to be approximately 6 a.m. - 12 midnight. In response to questions from Dave Paliganoff, Mr. Bull described his employee training program and stated that there would be no more than ten (10) employees on duty at any one time. Those ten would be: one manager, one supervisor, one service writer, one cashier, and six technicians. A service writer greets each truck driver to collect necessary information and assign a bay for work to be done. On a site plan exhibit, Mr. Bull indicated that there was room to stack thirty class 8 vehicles. He felt that stacking would not occur as customers would not wait very long for service. Drivers wouldbotbe permitted to "drop off" their trucks and return later. The site has sufficient space to expand the building from three bays to six bays. As Mr. Bull expects approximately 60% of his business to be contracted, those trucks would be scheduled. Charlie Miller, the architect for the proposed facility, responded to Fred Geinosky that it would meet or exceed all local, MSD, and EPA requirements for waste disposal. Fred Geinosky suggested that signage specify the services so as not to attract automobiles or trucks with repair needs. John Glass stated that while he did not object to the intended business in this particular location, he was vehemently against permitting this type of use in a B-3 District as many B-3 zoned properties abut residential properties. He recommended that the petitioner consider the possibility of petitioning for a text amendment to permit truck oil change and lube facilities in B-3 as a conditional use. The petitioner agreed to review the suggestion and to submit copies of the site plan for Staff review. The public hearing was adjourned at 9:36 p.m. National Metal Fabricators Resubdivision (2395 Greenleaf Avenue) Robin Weaver reported that Staff had reviewed the National Metal Fabricators Resubdivision Plat and recommended approval. George Mullen moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Plat to the Village Board. The motion was seconded by Dave Paliganoff and approved unanimously (Knudsen absent).
