Attendees: Ravi Parikh – Petitioner Bruce Green, Plan Commissioner Lynn Jensen, Plan Commissioner John Sigalos, Plan Commissioner Jay Cherwin – Plan Commissioner Sam Hubbard, Development Planner Project Summary: The subject property is a single lot comprising a total of approximately 15,200 square feet (0.34 acres), with an existing two story building with approximately 7,700 sq. ft. of floor area. There are two office tenants that currently occupy the building. The subject property is located within the B-2, General Business District. Access to the site comes from two driveway entrances off of New Wilke Rd. The parking area and drive aisle has a circular layout and wraps around the building, containing space for 21 parking stalls. The applicant has proposed the purchase and rehab of the building to allow the conversion of the structure to a 12- room long term stay hotel that would provide “corporate housing” for individuals staying temporarily within the community. Typical leases would range from 3-6 months and could occasionally stretch to a year. The target tenant would be business professionals that are on temporary work assignments within the community, such as software engineers, insurance adjusters, and other corporate professionals. Average rental rates would be between $1,500 and $3,000 per month, fluctuating based on seasonal market factors. Each unit would have a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Other than for occasional property maintenance, no staff would be onsite. Meeting Discussion: Mr. Parikh explained that was interested in acquiring the property at 1450 New Wilke Road and that the property was currently used as an office. He said that the property was somewhat blighted and that the owners were out of state and so they only had two tenants in the building and that only about 15% of the overall floor area was utilized. The property had been on the market for at least a year and the price had dropped to a point where he was able to get it under contract. His current plan for the building was to have a hotel on the 2nd floor and to have the 1st floor continue to be used as an office. The location of the property was good for the proposed hotel and office use as it was close to the Rolling Meadows central business district, Northwest Community Hospital, the Motorola business campus, the J:\PLAT & SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE\2017\T1569 - Wilke Studios\Plat and Sub Minutes.docx  WILKE STUDIOS - TEMP FILE 1569 Schaumburg central business district, and the Rolling Meadows courthouse. The office portion could see demand as a satellite office for an attorney, or be used as an office for a small contractor. The hotel portion would be targeted to someone like a software engineering who would be temporarily in the area working on a project for 2-4 months or possibly longer. Although the zoning classification would fall under “hotel”, they were looking to be “extended stay” housing for people in the area only temporarily but for extended periods of time. One to two night stays was not what they were looking for as the turnover would be quick and there would be no on-site laundry facility. They had examined multi-family housing but that the site did not provide enough parking. Mr. Hubbard explained that the property was in the B-2 zoning district and that based on preliminary discussions with the applicant, staff had determined that the proposed use fit within the “hotel” use classification. Hotels are required to receive a Special Use Permit within the B-2 Zoning District. Additional Variations would be required, such as a Variation to allow more than 5% of the rooms to have a kitchenette facility and to allow lodging rooms on the first floor. He mentioned that the plans submitted to staff showed rooms on the first floor, however, this evening was the first time that staff had heard about the concept for having offices on the first floor, which may remove the need for one of the Variations but would likely increase the parking requirements on the site, so staff would have to analyze that. If the petitioner would move forward with the project, a formal Plan Commission application would be required, which would include the petitioners response to the standards of approval for a Special Use Permit. The site had not been well maintained over the years and the parking lot was not currently striped, and striping would be required if the applicant moved forward through the Plan Commission process. The parking lot did not have curbs or gutters and there was no landscape buffer around the parking lot, most notably between the subject property and the residential area to the north and west, and so certain upgrades to the parking lot may be requested if the project were to move forward. Mr. Hubbard said that he was unaware if the building met current life safety standards with regards to a sprinkle, fire alarm system, and access for emergency vehicles, so he encouraged the petitioner to reach out to the Building Department to determine what upgrades may be needed to the building based on the proposed use. Additionally, if the existing water service line does not have the capacity to handle the flow for a fire sprinkler system, upgrades to the underground infrastructure may be needed. With lodging rooms on the 2nd floor of the building, an elevator may be required. Mr. Hubbard mentioned that a traffic study was required for all Special Use Permit applications that involved developments over 5,000 square feet, and so one would be required for this project. If the property is developed as originally proposed with 12 hotel rooms, then only 12 parking spaces would be required and there are more than 12 spaces on the property so conforming to parking requirements would not be a problem. One of the requirements of a Special Use Permit application is to demonstrate a community need for the proposed use, and generally this is done through a market study or abbreviated market analysis. He concluded that staff was generally supportive of the proposed hotel and mentioned that there were still details that would need to be provided and analyzed prior to reaching a formal recommendation on the matter. Commissioner Sigalos said that the business model is to accommodate an average stay of 3 to 6 months, but would the petitioner allow someone who wanted to stay for just one week? Mr. Parikh explained that they would consider a client who was only going to stay for one week. Under the hotel zoning, they would be allowed to have someone stay for just one week, or even one night. However, their intentions would be to rent the units out for long term stays. He said that short stay turnover would be problematic for them as they did not have a laundry facility onsite, so it would be difficult to keep up with cleaning of sheets for short term stays. He said they would outsource laundry to a commercial cleaner. Commissioner Sigalos asked how similar would the facility be to a standard hotel, would there be someone onsite daily to come into the rooms and clean? Mr. Parikh responded that they would have someone there to perform that service if needed, but that they would see what the market demanded as far as daily cleanings. It would function similar to an extended stay hotel, which would J:\PLAT & SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE\2017\T1569 - Wilke Studios\Plat and Sub Minutes.docx  WILKE STUDIOS - TEMP FILE 1569 provides room cleaning service two to three times per week, although they could provide more frequent service if needed. Commissioner Sigalos asked if extended stay hotels had kitchens. Mr. Parikh replied that they usually do. Commissioner Sigalos commented that he would be surprised if an elevator would not be require, and so he wanted to bring it to the petitioners attention because it was a large expense that they should be prepared for. Commissioner Jensen asked if there was an elevator in the building already. Mr. Parikh said that he did not believe there was. Commissioner Cherwin asked if there were any extended stay hotels in Arlington Heights, and whether or not they would be required to obtain a similar variation to allow kitchenettes in more than 5% of the units. Mr. Hubbard stated that he did not believe there were any extended stay hotels in Arlington Heights currently and that if there was one proposed, which had kitchen facilities in more than 5% of the rooms, they would also be required to obtain a Variation. Commissioner Cherwin said that the he lives near the subject property and drives by it frequently, and the property and building is in need of repair and upgrades. He thinks that they proposed architecture is attractive and would be a great improvement over the existing building. He asked if the petitioner had done any facility like this before. Mr. Parikh said that his family has an interest in the Best Western hotel in Morton Grove, and that they are currently in the process of renovating that hotel, and so although he has similar experience on renovations and the hotel industry, this concept would be a first for him. Commissioner Cherwin said that the proposed hotel would generate less traffic than the existing use of the building as an office, and so he was not too concerned about traffic generation. He said that although it was not a big concern for him, he thought that some people may be less comfortable with a standard hotel here and would be more comfortable if the proposed hotel was restricted to minimum stays of, for example, 30 days. He said that the proposed use was a response to how lodging is evolving, with new emerging lodging options such as AirBnB, and that it would tap into the market of temporary employees staying at corporations for extended periods, and that he could probably support a use like this Commissioner Jensen asked if the property was under contract and if the applicant was intending to move forward with the purchase. Mr. Parikh said that it was under contract and that the closing was scheduled for next week. Commissioner Jensen asked if purchase of the building was contingent on feedback from the Plat and Subdivision subcommittee. Mr. Parikh responded that the negotiation price was favorable and so that they would be moving forward on the purchase regardless of whether they could do the proposed extended stay hotel. If a hotel was not an option, then they would likely proceed with offices. Commissioner Jensen reiterated that the applicant was going to purchase the property regardless of the feedback received this evening. J:\PLAT & SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE\2017\T1569 - Wilke Studios\Plat and Sub Minutes.docx  WILKE STUDIOS - TEMP FILE 1569 Mr. Parikh confirmed that this was correct. Commissioner Jensen asked if the petitioner was prepared to undertake the potential expenses associated with establishing a hotel on the property, such as installing an elevator, making improvements to the water line, and installing a sprinkler system. Would this be an issue for the petitioner? Mr. Parikh said that they had already factored in the cost of a sprinkler system. He explained that they were somewhat worried about the cost of an elevator, which could be somewhere between $60,000 - $80,000. He said that they had factored in most of the expenses that they anticipated being required. Commissioner Jensen said that a full blown traffic study did not make that much sense to him as he was not overly concerned with the traffic generation from the proposed use. He thought that it may help to save the petitioner some money if only an abbreviated analysis was required. With regards to a market study, he said that there was likely a similar facility within a 25 mile radius of the subject property. Mr. Parikh said that there was one on Golf Road, west of the expressway. Commissioner Jensen asked if the petitioner knew what the vacancy rate was in any of the nearby extended stay hotels. Mr. Parikh responded that he did not know. He said that he was more familiar with the Average Daily Rates (ADR) in the Morton Grove area as that was where he currently operated his family’s hotel. Commissioner Jensen stated that rather than doing a full blown market study, perhaps some research into the vacancy rates of nearby extended stay facilities would be more practical. He stated that if vacancy rates at similar facilities in the area had vacancy rates of, for example, 70%, it may not make sense to open another facility on the subject property. Mr. Parikh responded that given his experience in Morton Grove, filling 12 rooms would not be extremely difficult and would not have a huge impact on the existing market supply within the vicinity. He said that he would not be catering to the lower end of the market and that the attractive design on the exterior of the hotel would also be what is done on the inside as well. He said it would be similar to the mirco studios concept that is popular in New York City and in Japan. He said that they would be looking at around $75 to $80 for an ADR on a long-term basis. Commissioner Jensen stated that he was generally supportive of the concept, provided that the petitioner was able to work through some of the issues as identified in the staff report. He commented that he also lived within the vicinity and thought that the proposed exterior upgrades would be a vast improvement over what was there currently. Commissioner Green stated that he thought the existing building needed some help and he thought that the sample architecture was appealing. He said that if the petitioner was to land a couple of corporate clients that were willing to stay for a year, the concept would be very successful. Mr. Parikh responded that was the exact demographic that he was hoping to attract. Commissioner Cherwin said that had the proposal been for a 120 room hotel, the market study would be of more importance to him, but given the petitioners experience in the hotel industry, he had confidence in the market understanding of the applicant and was not concerned that the proposed 12 room hotel would have significant trouble attracting clients. He said that in his experience, the employment trends of today involved more and more temporary employees coming into the area that needed a long term temporary location to stay. Mr. Parikh stated that they would be willing to consider a restriction that limited guests to a minimum of, for example, a 30 day stay, however, he believed that hotel taxes were not levied on stays beyond 28 or 30 days, and so requiring a J:\PLAT & SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE\2017\T1569 - Wilke Studios\Plat and Sub Minutes.docx  WILKE STUDIOS - TEMP FILE 1569 30 day minimum stay may not generate as much tax revenue for the Village. Commissioner Green said that he believed the feedback was positive and encouraged the petitioner to move foward. RECOMMENDATION The Plat & Subdivision Committee was supportive of the proposal and advised that the petitioner should move forward.

Page 1 of 3 Project Background: The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Evergreen Avenue and Northwest Highway in Downtown Arlington Heights, and is occupied by a multi-tenant two-story building. The first floor of the building contains three units, one occupied by Around Café, the other by Queen Nails, and the third unit is currently vacant (the subject unit). The second floor of the subject property is occupied by professional offices. The property is approximately 2,150 square feet in area and contains no on-site parking, although street parking is available along Northwest Highway and Evergreen Avenue and there is public parking within the Hancock Square surface parking lot and the North Garage within one block of the site. The subject property is located within the B- 5, Downtown Zoning District. The applicant is proposing to lease the approximately 500 square foot vacant unit within the subject property in order to establish MLH Fitness & Wellness within Arlington Heights. The applicant is the sole owner of MLH Fitness & Wellness, which offers personal training, physical rehabilitation, wellness and nutrition counselling, massage therapy, and Reiki healing. There would be a maximum of one employee at the location during peak shift, and clientele would be scheduled primarily by appointment only. Appointments would be available from 6:30am to 9:00pm Monday through Friday, and 8:00am through 4:00pm on Saturdays. Except in the instance of a special appointment, the business would be closed on Sundays. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Based on the information provided, Staff has determined that the proposed land use falls under the definition of a Physical Rehabilitation Center, which is defined as: “A facility licensed by the State of Illinois providing treatment on an out-patient basis to remove or reduce the risk of injury, impairment, functional limitation or disability, including the promotion and maintenance of fitness, health and wellness through a rehabilitation plan of therapeutic intervention.” According to the Permitted Use Table outlined in the Village’s Zoning Ordinance, a physical rehabilitation center requires a Special Use Permit within the B-5 district. To proceed forward, the Plan Commission must review and the Village Board must approve a Special Use Permit to allow a the proposed use on the subject property. As part of the Special Use Permit review process, the petitioner must provide written justification demonstrating compliance with the following standards of approval: 1. That said special use is deemed necessary for the public convenience at this location. 2. That such case will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this ordinance for such use, and with the stipulations and conditions made a part of the authorization granted by the Village Board of Trustees. In order to substantiate the need for this type of facility, an abbreviated market analysis that evaluates current market demand for this type of use at this location will be required as part of the Plan Commission review process. The Comprehensive Plan classifies the subject property as “Mixed Use”, and the proposed physical rehabilitation center conforms to this designation. Site, Building, and Landscaping The applicant has not proposed any alterations to the site or unit. As the building is built to the property line and abuts the sidewalk, there is no space for site landscaping and therefore no landscape upgrades are needed. Staff notes that the Illinois Plumbing Code may require a hand sink for the proposed use, if one is not already present within the unit. The applicant is encouraged to reach out to the Building Department to determine what upgrades may be needed as part of the occupancy process. The applicant will be required to furnish a legal description for the property as part of the Plan Commission application, which can be used in lieu of a Plat of Survey as neither the Village, applicant, or landlord have a copy of a Plat of Survey for this property. Finally, staff notes that massage therapy is allowed only as ancillary to the physical therapy use. The applicant shall acknowledge that massage therapy will only be allowed if in conjunction to a physical therapy and wellness program. The use of the property as solely for massage therapy is prohibited. Traffic and Parking Page 2 of 3 According to Section 6.12 of the Zoning Code, any Special Use Permit larger than 5,000 square feet in size that requires Plan Commission review must provide a traffic and parking study from a Certified Traffic Engineer. As the subject unit is approximately 500 square feet in size, no traffic study is required. Per code standards, a 500 square foot rehabilitation center is be required to provide 1 parking space per 250 square feet of floor area (most similar parking use is for “Personal Trainer”), and therefore two parking spaces are be required. Although the site does not provide any off-street parking, Section 11.5-8 of the Zoning Code allows uses within the Downtown area the ability to meet the off-street parking requirements by leasing spaces from the Village of Arlington Heights. Therefore, the applicant is required to purchase monthly parking permits from the Village for all full time employees so that they can park in the Village owned “North Garage”. The small parking demand to be created by the proposed use can be accommodated with street parking and within the Village owned North Garage, and staff believes the proposed use will therefore have a negligible impact on parking. RECOMMENDATION The Staff Development Committee has reviewed the proposed Special Use Permit for a physical rehabilitation center and is generally supportive, subject to the following conditions: 1. Provide a written justification to support the proposed Special Use Permit as per the following criteria outlined in the Zoning Ordinance:  That said special use is deemed necessary for the public convenience at this location.  That such case will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.  That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this ordinance for such use, and with the stipulations and conditions made a part of the authorization granted by the Village Board of Trustees. 2. The petitioner must purchase monthly parking permits from the Village for all full time employees so that they can park in the Village owned “North Garage”. 3. These are preliminary comments only and should not be relied upon as identification of the only major issues. The Staff Development Committee reserves the right to change its position on issues upon submittal of a formal application and detailed review. ________________________________________ April 7, 2017 Bill Enright, Deputy Director of Planning and Community Development Cc: Randy Recklaus, Village Manager All Department Heads Temp File 1589 Page 3 of 3  Aerial - 26 E.

The petitioner shall provide a written justification for the lot width variation based on the following hardship criteria outlined in the Zoning Ordinance: • The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations in that zone. • The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. • The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 2. Right-of-Way shall be dedicated for Chestnut Avenue and Ridge Avenue. 3. A large rear yard setback shall be required for Lot 2. 4. As part of the Plan Commission application, the petitioner shall provide a conceptual design for a future cul-de-sac to ensure that the proposed subdivision leaves sufficient space to accommodate two additional lots on either side of the future cul-de-sac. 5. The petitioner shall provide an exhibit that shows the average setback of the existing homes on the west side of Chestnut Avenue south of Ladd Street and north of LaSalle Street, and on the east side of Ridge Avenue south of Techny Street and north of Palatine Road. 6. Engineering plans, details and storm water detention calculations shall be required as part of the formal Plan Commission process. 7. A fee in lieu of detention shall be determined during the formal Plan Commission process. 8. Design Review shall be required prior to issuance of a building permit for any new home within the subdivision. 9. School, Park, and Library contributions per Village Code shall be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for a home on Lot 2. 10. These are preliminary comments only and should not be relied upon as identification of the only major issues. The Staff Development Committee reserves the right to change its position on issues upon submittal of a formal application and detailed review.

Chestnut Ave. PIN: 03-18-401-006 To: Plat and Subdivision Committee Prepared By: Sam Hubbard Meeting Date: April 12, 2017 Date prepared: April 7, 2017 Petitioner: Janna Mydlowski Address: 2104 N. Chestnut Ave. Arlington Heights, IL 60004 Existing Zoning: R-2, One Family Dwelling District SURROUNDING LAND USES Direction Existing Zoning Existing Use Comprehensive Plan North R-2, P-L Single-Family Home, Detention Basin Single-Family Detached Estate 2, Open Space South R-2 Single-Family Home Single-Family Detached Estate 2 East R-3 Single-Family Homes Single-Family Detached Estate 2 West R-2 Single-Family Homes, Vacant Land Single-Family Detached Estate 2 Requested Action: 1. Plat of Subdivision Variations Required: 1. Section 5.1-2.6, Minimum Lot Width at Building Line, to reduce the required lot width for Lot 2 from 150’ to 100’ Project Background: The subject property is 100 feet wide by 718 feet deep, which equates to 71,800 square feet in area (1.65 acres). The lot is occupied by a two-story single family home located on the east side of the lot, with access off of Chestnut Avenue. Also on the property is a detached garage that is no longer serviced by a driveway, and an attached garage addition to the house provides the necessary garage space for automobile parking. To the north of the subject property is a detention basin and a single-family home, and to the south is a similar sized lot with an existing single-family home. To the east and west of the subject property are single- family homes. The subject property is located within the R-2, One-Family Dwelling District. The proposed action, if approved, would allow the petitioner to subdivide the parcel into two single family lots. The east lot (Lot 1) is proposed at 100 feet wide and 163 feet deep, for a total of 16,300 square feet in area. The west lot (Lot 2) is proposed at 100 feet wide and 489 feet deep, for a total of 48,900 square feet in area. A new single family home would be proposed for Lot 2. Per the requirements of Chapter 29 (Subdivision Control Regulations) of the Municipal Code, a plat of subdivision must be reviewed by the Plan Commission and approved by the Village Board. As part of the preliminary review process, the Staff Development Committee evaluated the relationship of the two new lots to the applicable Zoning and Subdivision regulations (see Table 1). Table 1: Subdivision Analysis Zoning Minimum Lot Front yard Side yard Rear yard Corner side Minimum Lot Width Requirements Size (SF) setback setback setback yard setback Required: 90’ if between 15,000 sq. ft. 25’ or 10% lot Average of Standard R-2 Lot 10,000 and 20,000 sq. ft. in lot size, average of 30’ width block 150’ if lot is greater than 1 acre. block Proposed: Block Lot 1 16,300* 100’ 10’ 30’ N/A Average Block Lot 2 48,900* 100’ 10’ 30’ N/A Average * Total area takes into account ROW dedication. Based on the above analysis, a Variation is needed for the lot width of Lot 2. It should be noted that the required front yard setback for Lot 1 is determined by the average front setback of the existing homes on the Chestnut Avenue frontage, which frontage is the west side of Chestnut from Ladd Street south to LaSalle Street, and the front yard setback for Lot 2 is determined by the average front yard setback of the existing homes on the Ridge Avenue frontage, which frontage is the east side of Ridge Avenue from Techny Road south to Palatine Road. The petitioner will need to provide information on these existing setbacks as part of the zoning application to allow staff to determine what the minimum required front yard setback will be for both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Per code requirements, the front yard setback for both lots will be no less than 15’ and no greater than 40’. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan To proceed forward, the Plan Commission must review and the Village Board must approve a Preliminary and Final Plat of Subdivision, as well as a Variation in lot width for Lot 2. The petitioner has the option of combining the Preliminary and Final Plat of Subdivision approval process into one appearance before the Plan Commission, which would require the submission of final engineering documents with the zoning application. It should be noted that all engineering fees, bonds, and deposits are required prior to Final Plat of Subdivision approval. If the petitioner elects to proceed only with Preliminary Plat of Subdivision approval, preliminary engineering plans will be sufficient and final engineering and payment of all engineering fees, bonds, and deposits can be postponed until the time of Final Plat of Subdivision approval. However, this would require two appearances before the Plan Commission. Approval of the Variation for lot width must be a part of the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision approval. In order to demonstrate conformance with the standards of approval for the lot width Variation, the petitioner must provide a written justification based on the following hardship criteria: Page 2 of 6  The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations in that zone.  The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.  The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. With regards to the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is classified as “Single-Family Detached Estate 2”. The proposed subdivision and the existing R-2 zoning designation for the property are both compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. Site Plan The subject property is the northernmost property in a string of four lots between Chestnut and Ridge Avenues, south of the detention basin and north of the partial Right-of-Way (ROW) for Norman Street. Each of these four properties are roughly the same size, and all together could be combined and subdivided to create eight to twelve single-family lots. Under this scenario, Walnut Avenue would be extended north from its existing terminus at the Norman Street partial ROW, and would terminate with a cul-de- sac on the subject property (see Exhibit I – Conceptual Future Subdivision). While the proposed subdivision represents a piecemeal approach towards development of this area, staff could support the proposed subdivision provided that it accommodates for the future extension of Walnut Avenue with sufficient space for a cul-de-sac. In order to do this, staff would require the following as part of the proposed subdivision:  A conceptual plan showing how a code-compliant cul-de-sac could fit on the subject property, including lot width dimensions and square footage data on all four potential lots.  The rear yard setback for the proposed Lot 2 shall be larger than normal in order to prevent buildings from being built at the rear of the property, which buildings could interfere with the future subdivision. In consideration of this future subdivision, staff will analyze the location of the proposed lot line separating Lot 1 from Lot 2. In order to preserve sufficient space for a future lot in-between Lot 1 and the hypothetical cul-de-sac, the location of the boundary between Lot 1 and Lot 2 will need to be properly located. Design Review is required prior to the construction of a new single-family dwelling on Lot 2. Furthermore, a tree preservation plan is only required for subdivisions which contain three or more lots. As the proposed subdivision would create only two lots, a tree preservation plan will not be required. Finally, School, Park, and Library impact fee contributions will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for Lot 2. Public Improvements There are a number of public improvements needed as part of the proposed subdivision. These requirements are broken down between the two lots. Lot 1 – Chestnut Avenue Chestnut Avenue is currently a rural type street with no sidewalks, no streetlights, and no street trees. The paved section of the street does not meet code standards for required pavement width, and the Chestnut Avenue ROW does not meet the code standard for required ROW width. Therefore, 33’ of the subject property must be dedicated to the Village as part of the subdivision process. Although improvement of the street in order to conform with code regulations is a requirement of the subdivision process, it would not make sense to build a new half street with curb and gutter, a sidewalk that is only 100’ long, and install street trees and street lights at this time. Therefore, the Village may be amenable to a condition of approval that requires the property owner to sign an Estoppel Agreement restricting the ability to object to a Special Assessment to fund these required improvements in the future. Sanitary and Water infrastructure already exist to service Lot 1, and no expansion to this infrastructure is needed. Lot 2 – Ridge Avenue Currently, only the western half of Ridge Avenue has been constructed from Ladd Street to about the midpoint of the subject property. Similar to the Chestnut Avenue side, land must be dedicated for Ridge Avenue to allow the ROW to conform to the 66’ ROW width requirement. Since no street currently provides access to Lot 2, in order to construct a house on the Ridge Avenue frontage, a half-street and sidewalk must be constructed along the 100’ lot frontage on the east side of Ridge Avenue. As previously mentioned, there is an Page 3 of 6 existing half street and sidewalk on the western side of Ridge Avenue from south of Ladd Street to the south lot line of 2106 N. Ridge. The east half of the roadway from south of Ladd Street to the subject property has not been constructed and t iis the Villages responsibility to construct this portion of the street. As part of the subdivision process, the applicant will need to work with staff to come to a practical agreement as to how access to Lot 2 will be provided since the Village has not yet constructed the east half of this street. With regards to water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer infrastructure, the subject property will need to extend the existing water main 55’ to the southern boundary of lot, or pay a fee in lieu of this construction, which would be provided to the next entity south of the subject property to allow the future continuation of the water main. Adequate storm sewer and sanitary sewer infrastructure to serve Lot 2 is already in place, however, there are contribution ordinances for both the storm sewer and sanitary sewer, and payment of the contribution fee would be required as part of this subdivision. Finally, onsite storm water detention is not required in a two lot residential subdivision, and therefore a fee-in-lieu of detention will be required. Traffic and Parking According to the Village’s Subdivision Control Regulations and Zoning Ordinance, a traffic study is required for residential developments that have at least 100 dwelling units or more. Since the Petitioner is only proposing a two lot subdivision, a formal traffic study by a certified Traffic Engineer is not required. RECOMMENDATION The Staff Development Committee reviewed the proposed request and is generally supportive of the two lot subdivision, subject to the following: 1. The petitioner shall provide a written justification for the lot width variation based on the following hardship criteria outlined in the Zoning Ordinance:  The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if per mitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations in that zone.  The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.  The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 2. Right-of-Way shall be dedicated for Chestnut Avenue and Ridge Avenue. 3. A large rear yard setback shall be required for Lot 2. 4. As part of the Plan Commission application, the petitioner shall provide a conceptual design for a future cul-de-sac to ensure that the proposed subdivision leaves sufficient space to accommodate two additional lots on either side of the future cul-de- sac. 5. The petitioner shall provide an exhibit that shows the average setback of the existing homes on the west side of Chestnut Avenue south of Ladd Street and north of LaSalle Street, and on the east side of Ridge Avenue south of Techny Street and north of Palatine Road. 6. Engineering plans, details and storm water detention calculations shall be required as part of the formal Plan Commission process. 7. A fee in lieu of detention shall be determined during the formal Plan Commission process. 8. Design Review shall be required prior to issuance of a building permit for any new home within the subdivision. 9. School, Park, and Library contributions per Village Code shall be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for a home on Lot 2. 10. These are preliminary comments only and should not be relied upon as identification of the only major issues. The Staff Development Committee reserves the right to change its position on issues upon submittal of a formal application and detailed review. ________________________________________ April 7, 2017 Bill Enright, Deputy Director of Planning and Community Development Cc: Randy Recklaus, Village Manager Page 4 of 6 All Department Heads Temp File 1590 Page 5 of 6 Page 6 of 6  Aerial - 2104 N Chestnut April 3, 2017 1:2,257 0 0.0175 0.035 0.07 mi 0 0.03 0.06 0.12 km Village of Arlington Heights GIS Copyright 2013 Item: Urban Air - 750 N.

Rand Rd. PIN: Multiple PIN’s To: Plat and Subdivision Committee Prepared By: Sam Hubbard Meeting Date: April 12, 2017 Date prepared: April 7, 2017 Petitioner: Peter Bazos Address: 1250 Larkin Ave – Suite 100 Elgin, IL 60123 Existing Zoning: B-3, General Merchandise, Wholesale, and Motor Vehicle District SURROUNDING LAND USES Direction Existing Existing Use Comprehensive Plan Zoning North R-3 Single-Family Homes R&D Mfg and Warehouse South B-1, B-2 Furniture Store, Multi-tenant commercial Offices Only, R&D Mfg and Warehouse building, Dunkin Donuts, Liquor Store East R-E Single-Family Homes Moderate Density Multi-Family West B-1, B-2 Town and Country Shopping Center, Fast Food R&D Mfg and Warehouse restaurant (Burger King), Auto Repair shop Requested Action: 1. Special Use Permit to allow a “Large Amusement Arcade”. Variations Required: 1. None identified at this time. Project Background: The subject property is part of the Southpoint Shopping center, an approximately 27 acre shopping center development located at the southeast intersection of Rand Road and Palatine Road. The 100,250 square foot subject unit is currently on the market and occupied by Bif Furniture, which would close once a buyer has been identified for the site. Primary access to the property comes from a full access drive aisle (non-lighted) at Palatine Road to the north, a full access stop light controlled drive aisle at Rand Road to the west, and a full access non-lighted drive aisle at Jane Avenue to the south, which eventually leads to another stop light controlled full access intersection with Rand Road. The petitioner is David P. Frayer and Kendal L. Frayer Revocable Trust, who has expressed an interest in purchasing the property and leasing it to Urban Air, a family entertainment company based out of Texas. Urban Air has multiple locations across the nation and provides a wide mix of activities at their facilities, which include the following:  Trampoline Park  Ninja Course  Dodgeball Court  Indoor Sky Diving  Zip Line  Go Karts  Black-light Laser Tag  Foam Ball Pit  Children’s Jungle Gym  Black-light Bowling  Ropes Course  Climbing Wall  Black-light Miniature Golf  Basketball Court The proposed facility would include a mix of the above activities, as well as a cafeteria area that would serve food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well a small concession stand for merchandise related to their brand. Hours of operation would be between 10am and 11pm and Urban Air estimates that there would be around 70 part time employees working out of this location. Urban Air has recently received zoning approval to open an approximately 95,000 square foot location in Elgin and an approximatly 35,000 square foot location in Crystal Lake. Both facilities are estimate to be open by fall of this year. The subject property is part of the Southpoint Shopping Center PUD, which was approved in 1988. This PUD includes the subject unit as well as the building to the north, which is the home of Floor & Décor, and the outlot buildings to the west of the subject unit. The entire Southpoint Shopping Center is subject to a lengthy Reciprocal Easement Agreement (REA) that provides for shared access and shared parking between all users within the PUD. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan The subject property is located within the B-3 Zoning District and staff has determined the proposed use to fall within the “Large Amusement Arcade” use classification, which is a Special Use within the B-3 Zoning District. To proceed forward, the Plan Commission must review and the Village Board must approve a Special Use Permit for the subject property. In order to demonstrate conformance with the standards of approval for a Special Use Permit, the petitioner must provide a written justification to the following criteria: 1. That said special use is deemed necessary for the public convenience at this location. 2. That such case will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this ordinance for such use, and with the stipulations and conditions made a part of the authorization granted by the Village Board of Trustees. In order to substantiate the public need for this facility, the petitioner will be required to provide a market study that evaluates the demand for a facility of this type and size at this location. The subject property is designated as appropriate for commercial uses as per the Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Arlington Heights. The proposed Special Use Permit is compatible with this designation and therefore conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. The Southpoint Shopping Center is governed by a set of covenants and restrictions established during the original construction of the shopping center, which restrictions may be applicable to the proposed use. The applicant is advised to obtain a copy of the covenants and restrictions for the shopping center to determine if the proposed use would be affected by these documents. Page 2 of 4 TIF District The subject property is located within TIF V, which was established in 2005 and includes both the Southpoint Shopping Center and the Town & Country Shopping Center. One of the goals of TIF V is to facilitate the redevelopment and revitalization of the Southpoint Shopping Center, be it through the introduction of a new outlot and/or through the redevelopment of the vacant spaces within the shopping center. The location of a “destination user” within the shopping center will help to bring additional traffic and customers to the other businesses within Southpoint. Building The occupancy of Urban Air within the subject unit will be considered a change of use relative to the Building Code as the space will go from a mercantile use classification to an assembly use classification. As part of this change of use, the unit will be required to update to current life safety, accessibility, and building code standards, which will mean that, among other things, the number of bathrooms may need to be increased and a voice evacuation system will be required (if not already present). The petitioner is encouraged to reach out to the Building Department early on in this process in order to understand the extent of building upgrades/ improvements that may be needed. Site Plan and Landscaping The applicant has not identified any site alterations as part of the proposed Special Use Permit application. During the formal Plan Commission review process, staff will evaluate the condition of the parking lot to determine if any repairs, resurfacing, or restriping is needed. Additionally, staff will also evaluate the existing site landscaping to ensure that it conforms to all code requirements. The primary parking field for the unit is located in front (west) of the building, although according to the Plat of Survey, the property may include a portion of the auxiliary parking area to the north of the building. As part of the formal Plan Commission submittal, a fully dimensioned site plan that depicts the existing conditions and boundaries of the subject property will be required. Traffic and Parking The total parking requirement for the proposed facility is based on the sum of the individual uses within. As the facility will include multiple uses (food establishment, bowling, recreation areas, etc.) with each use being subject to their individual parking requirements, a to-scale floor plan showing the proposed facility and size of each use within will be required as part of the Plan Commission application. Once this has been received, staff can evaluate the overall parking requirement for the facility in relation to the parking provided within the Southpoint Shopping Center. Staff notes that a parking survey from 2016 showed a surplus of around 460 parking spaces on the site. Per section 6.12-1 of Chapter 28 of the Municipal Code, any Special Use Permit application over 5,000 square feet in floor area must submit a traffic and parking study from a certified Traffic Engineer that assesses access, on-site circulation, parking, trip generation, and impacts to adjacent roadways. Since there are no existing Urban Air locations that are open within the Chicagoland area, the petitioner should evaluate existing facilities that it operates around the county which are of a similar size to the proposed facility, to determine the parking demand. Parking counts from those facilities during Fridays and on weekends, including a list of events and number of occupants per event scheduled on the day of the parking survey, shall be included within the parking study. RECOMMENDATION The Staff Development Committee has reviewed the proposed Special Use Permit and is generally supportive of the application, subject to the following: 1. The petitioner shall provide a written justification demonstrating compliance with the following standards of approval:  That said special use is deemed necessary for the public convenience at this location.  That such case will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.  That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this ordinance for such use, and with the stipulations and conditions made a part of the authorization granted by the Village Board of Trustees. 2. A market study shall be provided, which study will analyze the local demand for this type and size facility at this location. Page 3 of 4 3. A fully dimensioned floor plan indicating the size and type of each use within the facility shall be required within any Plan Commission application. This floor plan should clearly identify the size of the seating area for the proposed cafeteria. 4. A fully dimensioned site plan depicting the boundaries of the subject property and existing improvements on the land shall be required within any Plan Commission application. 5. A traffic and parking study from a certified Traffic Engineer that assesses access, on-site circulation, parking, trip generation, and impacts to adjacent roadways shall be required. This study should provide parking counts from similar Urban Air facilities during Fridays and the weekend, including a list of events and number of occupants per event scheduled on the day of the parking surveys. 6. Onsite landscaping will be evaluated during the Plan Commission review process. Missing or deficient landscaping must be provided or replaced. 7. These are just preliminary comments only and should not be relied upon as identification of the only major issues.

Globally, there has been: 1. increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat 2. decrease in physical activity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization. The Impact Of A Lifestyle Without Physical Activity: • Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. • In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese. Approximately, 10% of children worldwide aged 5–17 years are overweight and 2–3% are obese. • 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014, and 13% were obese. • Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight. • 41 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2014. • OBESITY IS PREVENTABLE  Health Benefits Of Urban Air Exercising on a trampoline is 68% more effective than jogging! (NASA, Journal of Applied Physiology 49(5): 881-887) Using the trampoline takes up to 80% off the stress of your weight-bearing joints. Using a trampoline is a wonderful option for seniors, physically-challenged, those recuperating from accidents or injuries. It’s also excellent exercise for those who have been sedentary and are starting an exercise programme. (4) Cardiovascular Fitness. Trampolines and rebounders increase your muscles’ strength and fitness. The benefits this, and the increase to your pulse rate brought about by jumping, brings to your heart and circulation ensures that oxygen is pumped round your body more efficiently, making you feel healthier and more alert. Plus it’s a great way to keep your weight down. (Always get your doctor’s approval before trying any exercise following a heart attack or any serious illness) Stronger Bones Trampoline exercise is strenuous and the repetition of the jump action puts the bones under repeated slight stress; this helps your musculoskeletal system build up and improves bone mineral content. Each landing from a jump is equivalent to twice the force of gravity: the strength this allows you to develop over time helps to prevent brittle bone disease, or osteoporosis. Because the trampoline pad is bouncy and soaks up a large proportion of the impact of your landing, your bones and joints are protected whilst being strengthened. “Exercise can be helpful in building and maintaining strong bones. Exercise that forces you to work against gravity – so called weight bearing exercises such as walking or jogging [and rebounding] are beneficial …If you are at risk for osteoporosis, your doctor will most likely include exercise as part of your overall treatment program.” (5)  References References 1.
