Item 3: Petition for Resubdivision of the Elk Grove Technology Park (743-955 E Higgins, 6 — 42 Stanley Street, and 70-80 Lively Boulevard) from one (1) existing lots into seven (7) lots Chairman Glass asked the Petitioner to explain their purpose before the Plan Commission C. Hooker explained that Brennan Investment Group had purchased the subject property in December/January after the Village approved its annexation. As part of the annexation, it was resubdivided into a single lot with I-1 zoning, and a preliminary 8-lot plat of resubdivision was approved. Due to changes in the course of the Development, the Petitioner is revising the preliminary plat and filing a new Petition for resubdivision with an altered layout to the lots. C. Hooker explained that the purpose of the reconfiguration of the lots was to allow for construction of the first four buildings west of King Street, rather than along Higgins as originally planned. Chairman Glass asked why the buildings were being relocated. C. Hooker stated that it was in response to user demand, which was strong for the entire site. He explained that this revised layout would allow them to better serve user needs. Chairman Glass asked when the Petitioner planned to break ground. C. Hooker stated that they were hoping to begin demolition in the coming weeks, and already had done initial work in disconnecting utilities and asbestos abatement where necessary. Chairman Glass asked if all of the buildings were now vacant, except the Fire Station. C. Hooker stated that there is one tenant left in the building on Lively Boulevard, but his lease has expired and he is expected to vacate by May 1, 2018. Commissioner Geinosky asked whether this revised resubdivision would change the scope of the Technology Park as originally proposed to the Plan Commission. C. Hooker stated that any development of the east side of the property would require addition approval. Commissioner Geinosky clarified that they were not planning to reduce the size of the development. C. Hooker stated that the Petitioner had no interest in land banking and still planned to develop the entire site. Commissioner Ayers asked if there would be any difficulty with meeting the requirement to demolish all existing buildings, since there is still a tenant remaining. C. Hooker stated that they planned to do demolition as soon as possible and would be able to get the tenant out.

Item 4: Petition for Resubdivision of the property at 2550 Landmeier from one (1) lot to two (2) lots Chairman Glass asked the Petitioner to explain their purpose before the Plan Commission 2 S. Kathe stated that he represented the owner of the Wyndam Garden Hotel and that the Petitioner has pursued the resubdivision in order to allow the Village to take ownership and maintain the existing retention pond on the property. Chairman Glass asked why the Village would take ownership of a private retention pond. M. Jablonski explained that there had been difficulty with the pond not functioning properly due to lack of maintenance and the need for equipment upgrades. These difficulties have caused repeated flooding of Landmeier Road, which impacts the operations of many other businesses in the community. M. Jablonski explained that the Village would like to take over the pond to ensure that maintenance issues from an individual property owner do not adversely impact the rest of the Business Park. Commissioner Rettberg asked if the retention pond was currently functioning properly. M. Jablonski stated that the Village had already done some work on the pond, and this resub division would formalize the Village's control and maintenance of the pond for the future.
