Docket 86-5: Dohrer-Rizzi Annexation and Rezoning R-1 to B-2
(1.166 acres on the north side of Devon Avenue just east of Putt-Putt)
Tom Rettenbacher stated the village Board had requested that the
Plan Commission hold a public hearing regarding revision of the Village's
Comprehensive Plan. The revisions would change the planned zoning of
all of the properties along Devon Avenue from Berthold's to Salt Creek
to B-2. The change would make the zoning of this area consistent.
Mr. Dohrer stated that he was requesting annexation and rezoning
from R-1 to B-2. He said that an office building would be built in
the center of the lot with parking provided in the front and back
of the building. The purpose of the building would be general office,
not retail. Dohrer said that he wanted to begin construction as soon
as possible.
David Paliganoff inquired why general offices would be the highest
and best use of the land. Mr. Dohrer said that as an architech, he
believed that general office usage would best suit the property at
that location. He further stated that the office building would
most likely be divided up to allow six tenants, for a total of 10,000
square feet.
• Orrin Stangeland asked if there were future plans for expansion.
Dohrer responded that he might add a second story to a portion of the
building at a later date. He could add extra parking for the expansion

because 20 feet along the western edge of this Iot is currently
being used for parking by the adjacent Putt-Putt property. Be
explained that Putt-Putt did not need the property to provide extra
parking. Mr. Dohrer said that he also will seek a 20 foot variation
from the Village's minimum width requirement because the lot is 20
feet short of the required 250' minimum width.
Tom Rettenbacher stated that the Dohrer-Rizzi plans showed no
loading space. Mr. Dohrer stated he had not real-ized that a loading
space would be required and he will comply with Village requirements.
A resident who owns a home near the property raised his concerns
about storm water drainage from the property. The water runoff from
his property runs across the Dohrer-Rizzi property. Dohrer stated
he could legally alter the field tile drainage system.
Following further discussion, the public hearing was closed at
9:02 p.m.
Orrin Stangeland motioned to recommend approval of B-2 zoning
and also recommended a variation of 20 feet from the minimum width
requirements. The minimum width variation and the side yard variation
are to be addressed in annexation agreement. David Paliganoff seconded
the motion. The vote for approval was unanimous.
Docket 86-6: Rubin Resubdivision
• (1.44 acres located at the southwest corner
of Lunt Avenue and Busse Road)
The public hearing was called to order at 8:13 p.m.
Mr. Rubin stated that he is requesting to rezone the property
from 1-2 to B-3 to allow for business usage. The building constructed
on the lot would accommodate four businesses, all related to automotive
servicing. A muffler repair shop is planned for unit A of the proposed
building. Rubin said that the property was leased to him with an
option to buy, contingent upon receiving the rezoning.
David Paliganoff inquired about other possible uses of the lot.
Mr. Stratford responded that only auto service was planned. Auto
service shops would serve as a draw to attract people to the businesses.
He stated that this location is not good for a restaurant use because
it is only accessible in one direction on Busse Road.
Orrin Stangeland asked if there were any similar developments
in the area. Stratford responded that there was a similar auto
service business in Mount Prospect on Elmhurst Road.
Leah Cummins inquired about the advantage of the requested zoning
change. Mr. Stratford responded that due to the site size and the
potential of the land, B-3 zoning is better than I-2. He stated that
more sales tax could be produced and more employees could be hired
with B-3. Leah Cummins stated that because 15,000 - 20,000 people
drive to the industrial park each day, auto service type businesses
were needed at that location.
The public hearing was closed at 9:44 p.m.
• Following further discussion, George Mullen motioned to recommend
approval of rezoning to B-3 and David Paliganoff seconded it. The vote
for approval passed unanimously.
