George Mullen asked if under the proposed Text Amendment and Special Use Permit, any owner of 555 Biesterfield Road may, in the future, tear down the existing home and construct an office building. Tom Rettenbacher explained that a Special Use Permit is always tied to a specific site plan. John Glass added that any Special Use Permits are looked at on a case by case basis. Leah stated her support for the proposed Text Amendment and moved to approve it. George Mullen seconded the motion. Fred Geinosky once again explained that he was on a Board at Alexian Brothers Medical Center on a voluntary basis and had no connections with Dr. Boyajian. The Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve and recommend the proposed Text Amendment to the Village Board for approval. Glass stated that the next issue is the petition for Rezoning from R-3 to 0-T with a Special Use Permit. Glass added that he does not see any problem with the rezoning and that the nearby property owners have no objections. 1' f i . 0 Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - April 15, 1987 Boyajian (continued) Glass referred the Plan Commission to possible restrictions suggested by staff and asked for input on any other possible restrictions. Tom Rettenbacher added that Dr. Boyajian will need to submit a final site plan which should include a buffer area in case the addition ended up being a few feet larger than planned. Glass suggested that the Special Use Permit should be limited to one addition plus a garage and that the existing structures on the property that are committed by Dr. Boyajian to be torn down would be cleared out within ninety (90) days. Steve Gross asked if the wording of the Special Use Permit would make it clear that Dr. Boyajian is the controlling owner of the premises at 555 Biesterfield Road. The Plan Commission discussed the wording of the Special Use Permit and agreed on the following: "To permit Charles Boyajian, M.D. , or a caretaker of his medical practice to reside on the premises as prescribed by the site plan." Glass restated the four suggested restrictions: 1. The structure at 555 Biesterfield Road shall remain as a single building which does not include the garage. 2. Dr. Boyajian will remove the four structures committed to be torn down within ninety (90) days. 3. A final site plan with a buffer area will be submitted for review. 4. The Special Use Permit will be worded as stated above. The motion was made to accept the Rezoning from R-3 to 0-T as well as the Special Use Permit and recommend it to the Village Board with the four conditions listed above. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Peterson-Rivett Development Company Conceptual Plans regarding possible hotel site at Oakton and Busse. Glass explained that this would be a discussion only and no voting would take place. Lanny Peterson explained that the Exel Inn is a quality economy motel which has been very successful in many cities. Leah Cummins asked why anyone would want to build a motel so close to four existing motels. Lanny Peterson explained that market studies were favorable toward the location and that it is a good site because of the interstate highway. Mr. Peterson added that the motel would cater primarily to the businessman. Fred Geinosky inquired about the current occupancy of the existing motels. Lanny Peterson stated that La Quinta had a 55 percent occupancy rate and Sixpence held an 80 - 90 percent occupancy rate which stresses the need for economy lodging. Mr. Peterson expects a 60 percent occupancy rate during the first year the Exel Inn would be open. Peterson also added that if he keeps the number of units at 74, there is a better chance of keeping them occupied. Glass expressed concern for the lack of restaurants in the area and asked if there would be a restaurant at the motel. Mr. Peterson stated that there would be no restaurant at the motel. Fred Geinosky asked if there would be transportation available to and from O'Hare. Lanny Peterson claimed that there are no plans r Plan Commission Minutes - 3 - April 15, 1987 Peterson-Rivett Development Company (continued) at present for shuttle service from O'Hare but it would ba a major possibility. Leah Cummins and Fred Geinosky expressed concern over the traffic flow and parking patterns at Oakton and Busse. George Mullen explained that the main objective would be to convince the Plan Commission that the highest and best use of the land is for a motel and not a restaurant. John Glass explained that the Peterson-Rivett Development Company would receive a fair and open hearing.
