Sanfilippo Resubdivision
The resubdivision was approved in December, 1984 as a one (1) lot
subdivision. However, since the resubdivision acquired additional land
from an existing lot, that lot required a new legal description. The
original plat of resubdivision was revised to create two (2) lots and
therefore requires Plan Commission approval.
Mullen moved that the plat be approved. The motion was seconded
by Paliganoff and passed unanimously.
Drexel Properties
Ken Watson and Bill Miller, from Drexel Properties, and Steve
Welter, from Michael Ives and Associates, presented information to the
Commission on its proposed development located on the north side of
Devon Avenue adjacent to I-290.
The property consists of 77.5 acres and is commonly known as the
Szywala (51 acres) and Zizzo (26.5 acres) properties. The developer
will be seeking A-2, Special Use zoning.
Welter provided the following summary of information:
- 1,032 dwelling units to be located in 43, 3-story
rental apartment buildings.
- Gross site: 77.5 acres
Gross density: 13.2 d.u. 's/acre
Net density (less 8.5 acres of R.O.W.) : 15.0 d.u. 's/acre
- There are 69 acres of land remaining after subtracting
the 8.5 acres of R.O.W. The developer will provide 6.9
acres to comply with the Village's 10% land donation policy:
5.9 acres for park site
1.0 acre for Well Site 14
6.9 acres
PC Minutes - 2 - April 17, 1985
Drexel Properties (continued)
- A 50' buffer strip will surround the entire site.
Watson informed the Commission that the development will appeal to
young professionals. Their demographic studies (using five existing
Drexel properties) reflect the following sex and age distributions:
Renters Age Distribution
30 - 45% single males 30% 20 - 25
20 - 30% single female 30% 26 - 30
20 - 40% married couples 30% 31 - 40
10% 40t
There will be approximately 1.3 persons per dwelling unit and
rents will be $650 - $675 per month, not including utilities. The
value of the project will be between $60-70 million.
Watson and Rettenbacher also noted that Drexel is discussing ,a
variation from our elevator requirements with Staff. Codes require
3-story units to install elevators. Watson said that the market
dictates the highest rents for third floor apartments, and the lack
of elevators is not a deterrent to the renter. To comply with Village
Codes, each building (8 units per floor) , as proposed by Drexel, would
require two (2) elevators at a cost of $30,000 each. Given the layout
of the building, only four units on the third floor would be served by
each elevator.
Bill Grieve, Metro Transportation, advised the Commission that
they will prepare a traffic analysis of the site. He does not
recommend the extension of Beisner from Biesterfield Road to Devon
Avenue. Beisner Road should only be installed from Devon Avenue
north to Wellington Avenue.
Glass indicated that there will be cut-through traffic regardless
of whether Beisner Road is extended to Biesterfield Road. Motorists
will use Cheltenham Road instead, in order to get to the Biesterfield/
I-290 interchange.
In response to a question from Geinowski, Watson said that Drexel
will be able to rent its units given the prevailing rents in the area;
there is a growing demand for rental units; and the site location, as
well as the Village's image, will make the development a success.
Mullen left the meeting at 9:46 p.m.
The Commissioners advised the Drexel Properties representatives
that a traffic study ought to be completed and submitted to Staff for
review. There are many questions that remain, such as: the extension
of Beisner Road to Biesterfield Road, the extension of Montego Drive
into the proposed development, and the connection of Beisner Road
extended to Wellington Avenue and/or Gateshead South.
In addition, the developers should have specific plans on buffering
the site from the single-family homes on the north and east sides of
the site.
Other Business
Rettenbacher and Parrin brought the Commission up to date on
existing and proposed developments.
PC Minutes - 3 - April 17, 1985
Other Business (continued)
Glass advised the Commission that the Village Board accepted
their recommendations for the Transunion rezoning. The Village
Manager sent a letter to Cook County Highway Superintendent Golterman,
seeking his support for the installation of a deceleration lane for
southbound Meacham Road into the commercial site (across from Texas
Street) . Glass also read a thank you letter sent by residents who
attended the rezoning proceedings.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15 p.m.
