Glass, Chairman ( 8: 18 p.m) Fred Geinosky, Secretary George Mullen Dave Paliganoff Patton Feichter Paul Ayers John Meyers Thomas Parker Charles Henrici The meeting was called to order at 8: 17 p.m. NEW BUSINESS Item A. - Park Chardonnay proposal to amend the PUD Agreement. Preliminary Discussion. Stephen T. Powers, an architect representing the Diversified Capital Group, presented the requested amendment to the Plan Commission. The requested amendment will impact the construction of buildings 2B, 3 and 4. The petitioner would like to begin construction in mid-June. Powers noted that the PUD Plans are 10 years old and new market research suggests that fewer one bedroom and more 2 and 3 bedroom units are needed. The present PUD allows for a total of 174 units. The proposed amendment would have only 150 units. Because of the reduction in the number of units, 23 parking spaces are to be eliminated and replaced with landscaping. By code, 48 spaces could be eliminated; the proposed amendment will meet parking requirements. Finally, modifications to the exterior of the buildings includes having rear driveway entrances into the garage and a masonry wall buffer of the parking lot along the Biesterfield entrance. I I Under the proposal, there would be fewer units, but those units would be larger. The petitioner has met with the homeowner' s group and received a favorable response to the changes. Chairman Glass noted that a public hearing is necessary and that this proposal is for preliminary discussion. Commissioner Mullen inquired into why there have been so many owners of Park Chardonnay. Powers replied that he could not answer that question; however, Diviserfied's market research indicates that the units will sell well.. PLAN COMMISSIO&INUTES APRIL 4, 1990 Page 2 The owners intend on starting the project in June and finishing within 2 years. The units will sell from $79 ,000 to $139,000. Commissioner Paliganoff asked if the representatives of the homeowners association plan on offering testimony stating that they are in favor of the project. Power replied yes. Commissioner Meyers asked for answers at the public hearing to the following questions: A), Will the development meet code; B) What impact will the development have on the Lake; and C) What impact will there be with respect to Leicester Road ingress and. egress.. Commissioner Geinosky asked how the Talbot' s Mill development will impact Park Chardonnay. The Plan Commission was told that Talbot' s Mill is nearly sold out of units similiar to those proposed by Park Chardonnay, thus demonstrating that there is a solid market for such units. Chairman , Glass stated that the public hearing will be scheduled for May 2, 1990. OLD BUSINESS Item A Coin-operated Amusement Devices (Docket 90-5) i Chairman Glass asked that the Plan Commission try to reach a decision on the proposed Text Amendment in a step-by-step approach. First, should the number of coin-operated amusement devices allowed be increased from five to ten. The Plan Commission discussed the fact that many I communities have ten devices as a limit.. In addition, the Village has received two requests for more machines, and several places in town have more than five machines already. Presently, if a business has more than five machines, it is a coin-operated amusement center. With the proposal, a business would have to possess 11 or more machines to be classified as a center. It was the consensus of the Plan Commission to increase the number of coin-operated amusement devices from the present five allowed. Commissioner Meyers was the lone objector to increasing that number. Chairman Glass then asked how many machines should be allowed. Glass stated that the petitioner' s request for up to ten is reasonable since Midway Motor Lodge already has ten machines and, except for the coin-operated amusement device center, no other business has that many I devices. II I i I PLAN COMMISSIO&INUTES . APRIL 4 , 1990 Page 3 Consensus of the Plan Commission was to increase the number of devices to ten. Chairman Glass then asked if recreational uses should be separated from liquor licensed establishments. Consensus of the Plan Commission was to separate recreational uses from liquor licenses establishments. The Plan Commission then examined the recreational uses to be included in the amendment. The consensus of the Plan Commission was to incorporate the recreational uses allowed as conditional uses in the B-1 zoning district into the Text Amendment. Those recreational uses are swimming pools, ice skating and roller skating rinks, billiard parlors, bowling alleys, and indoor theaters. Furthermore, it was the consensus of the Plan Commission to strike the word recreational from paragraph 2, section E( 1) (B) of the proposed Text Amendment. Chairman Glass then asked if the Plan Commission wanted coin-operated amusement devices to be permitted accessory uses in zoning districts other than B-1. Presently, these devices are located in residentially zoned and industrially zoned districts, as well as in B-1, B-2 and B-3 districts. Consensus of the Plan Commission was for Coin-Operated Amusement Devices to be permitted in all zoning districts. The proposal would be similarly stated as the section on Special Uses which are allowed in all zoning districts. It appeared that this accessory use section would be numbered 3 . 3A; however, an opinion from the Village Attorney is desired on that. matter. j Commissioner Henrici moved and Mullen seconded a motion to make paragraph 2 of the proposed Text Amendment an accessory use for all zoning districts; to separate the list of recreational uses from licensed liquor establishments and include the following recreational uses: bowling alley, billiard hall, ice and roller skating rinks, swimming pools, and indoor movie theatres; and to strike the word recreational from paragraph 2, section E( 1) (B) . An attorney representing Joseph Serfecz , the owner of the Grove Mall, addressed the Plan Commission. The attorney presented a petition with approximately 250 signatures asking that, among other things, the Village not allow additional coin-operated amusement devices. The attorney argued that changing the ordinance would allow video games within 300 feet of licensed liquor establishments and would have an impact on existing properties. r i Commissioner Henrici noted that those recreational uses would be allowed to have five games under the i PLAN COMMISSIOWINUTES APRIL 4, 1990 Page 4 existing regulations. If more than five games were desired, the business would have to petition the Village Board. The Village Board would examine each request and would determine by resolution whether any additional games would be allowed. Chairman Glass stated that a number of businesses are in violation of the existing regulations by virtue of either the zoning district the business is located in or the number of machines possessed by the businesses. The Plan Commission is acting to grant relief to those businesses. Upon voting, Chairman Glass, Commissioners Geinosky, Mullen, Feichter, Henrici, Ayers and Parker voted AYE: Meyers, NAY. Motion carried. The Plan Commission then examined the proposed definition. Commissioner Parker moved and Mullen seconded a motion to recommend that the Village Board adopt a Text Amendment to section 9. 12, Definitions of the Zoning Ordinance as submitted by the petitioner. Upon voting, Chairman Glass, Commissioners Geinosky, Mullen, Feichter, Paliganoff , Ayers, Henrici, and Parker voted AYE; none NAY; Meyers abstained. Motion carried. Commissioner Ayers moved and Mullen seconded a motion to adjourn. Upon voting, all AYES. The meeting adjourned at 10 : 30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Raymond R.
