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.

Commissioner Geinosky moved to recommend approval of the petition to the property at 2550
Landmeier from one (1) lot to two (2) lots.
