Members Present: Members Absent: John Glass Leah Cummins George Mullen Dave Paliganoff Orrin Stangeland Fred Geinosky Clark Fulton Staff Present: Robert Callahan, Plan Reviewer Robin Weaver, Administrative Assistant Public Hearing - Docket 84-7: Busse Burger King (Request to Amend a Special Use Permit) Testimony on behalf of Burger King was presented by Larry Brown, an attorney; Mike Durso, an Operations Manager; Mr. Hollander, owner of the land; and Jerry Powalich, the Project Manager with Chart House, Inc. Jerry Powalich stated that the request for an amendment to the Special Use Permit was for the purpose of adding a greenhouse/solarium type building addition onto the southwest corner of the existing restaurant at 2001 Busse Road. The number of seats will increase from 92 to 118 seats. The square footage of the building will increase 315 square feet from 2,991 to 3,306. Although sufficient parking is already present, 24 parking spaces will be added. In response to Dave Paliganoff's question, the petitioner stated that hours of operation would remain the same. Staff stated that review of the plans had not been completed as revised plans were not received until 1:30 p.m. that same day. Fred Geinosky asked whether the additional parking spaces would relieve any traffic problems and if trucks for another company would be using the Burger King entrances. Jerry Powalich indicated that the parking will be sufficient and that the truck entrance was separate. He further stated, in response to Clark Fulton, that he believes that the Elk Grove Village standards are sufficient but that this particular Burger King does such a large volume of business that sometimes locating a parking stall in the past has been difficult. Orrin Stangeland suggested that Burger King may wish to consider two drive-up windows. Mike Durso explained that this building and lot could not accommodate a second window. The \ Plan Commission - 2 - September 5, 1984 Busse Burger King (continued) Burger King currently under construction in the Grove Mall will not, according to Mike Durso, have a greenhouse due to insufficient room. Orrin Stangeland asked why a greenhouse concept was being utilized: Jerry Powalich related that the idea began in California and is now used in Burger Kings throughout the states. He said it is aesthetically pleasing and that according to marketing studies, people like to sit in these types of areas. The public hearing was adjourned at 8:37 p.m. Orrin Stangeland made a motion to recommend approval of the amendment to the Special Use Permit. The motion was seconded by Fred Geinosky and passed unanimously. Shelter Real Estate (Request to Amend a Site Plan - Annexation Agreement) After brief discussion, Fred Geinosky made a motion to approve an amendment to the site plan for Shelter Real Estate. John Glass entered the meeting at 8:45 p.m. The motion received a second by Dave Paliganoff and was voted for by Mullen, Paliganoff, Stangeland, Geinosky and Clark. Glass abstained. Plat of vacation - Section 23B, Lots 1 - 110 George Mullen made a motion to approve a plat of vacation for Section 23B, Lots 1 - 110. The motion was seconded by Orrin Stangeland and passed unanimously. t Schreiner Rezoning Request (20 acres, Southwest corner of Biesterfield and Meacham Roads) Mort Kaplan, attorney for the petitioner, presented a plat indicating the alignment of Home Avenue to the petitioner's property. George Mullen stated that this plan was not much different than the Aspito plan, that the property is purely speculative, that the Plan Commission has never granted zoning in the past without a site plan, that this zoning (B-3 and O-T) is the most intensive zoning for the area (other than Industrial) , that he is not convinced that this is the spot for O-T, and that he found no merit to this plan. Dave Paliganoff agreed with George Mullen in that he needs a site plan in order to make a decision. Clark Fulton said he was not as strongly opposed to O-T but that he was very strongly against zoning without a site plan, and that it would be poor planning to do so without one, especially as this parcel is in a growing area. Fred Geinosky agreed with his fellow Commissioners and stated it doesn't make sense to zone without knowing specifics. He further stated that he will be glad to listen when specifics are available; otherwise, zoning would be like a blank check. Orrin Stangeland supported Fred Geinosky's statement that zoning i Plan Commission Minutes - 3 - September 5, 1984 Schreiner Rezoning Request (continued) without a site plan would be like writing a blank check. He said the previous proposal (Aspito) was unacceptable and that this one is no different. Mort Kaplan asked if the Plan Commission would consider approving the zoning now with a clause that the site plan, when submitted, would have to be approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board. Members rejected the request. It was asked by Mort Kaplan that the Plan Commission not vote on this matter but rather agree to discuss any new plan concerning it at a later date. The date of Wednesday, October 17, 1984 was selected. Fred Geinosky made a motion to adjourn the meeting. It was seconded by Dave Paliganoff and unanimously approved. The meeting adjourned at 10:03 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Robin A.
