expansion of the DeKalb Sanitary District Facility located on 51.84 acres along
Hollister Avenue and Sycamore Road.
PETITIONER PRESENTATION
Mark Eddington, District Manager of the DeKalb Sanitary District, presented before
the Commission. He reported he has spoken to staff during the past week
regarding the project’s outstanding items. He referred to portions of the staff report
in VI “Required Changes and Conditions,” 4. “Conditions of Approval.”
• Items B and D pertain to IDOT’s approval to vacate the right-of-way
easement. Mr. Eddington reported that IDOT approval to vacate the right-
of-way will take some time. He stated that the new administration building
will not be located in the current right-of-way, but part of the new parking lot
will be. He asked the City to approve the building permit and delay approval
of the parking lot permit until IDOT’s approval is obtained.
• Items H and Q pertain to future improvements. Mr. Eddington stated that
these items are addressed in the larger development agreement with the
City, which the Sanitary District received this morning and has not yet had
an opportunity to review. He noted that this agreement will be reviewed by
City Council prior to approval.
STAFF REPORT
City of DeKalb Principal Planner Dan Olson reported the Sanitary District has
submitted revised plans and has been working with the City to finalize them. He
reported the Sanitary District’s name has changed to the Kishwaukee Water
Reclamation District, effective May 1, 2017. He referred to the staff report, which
includes background information and the required findings of fact regarding the
standards of rezoning and standards for a planned development. He provided a
summary of these findings of fact, which appear in detail as part of the staff report.
Mr. Olson stated that a revision to the Comprehensive Plan is recommended as
the conditions have changed, and the land use category should be the same as
the current Sanitary District property’s land use, which is the “Transportation and
Utilities” category. He stated that the project conforms to the Unified Development
Ordinance’s planned development requirements. The development agreement will
address the maintenance and zoning of the property, as well as required
improvements, including installation of landscaping buffers, relocation of Hollister
Avenue, crosswalk improvements, security measures, traffic reduction, and
improvements to Sycamore Road, which IDOT must approve.
Mr. Olson stated that the petitioner must meet the required changes and conditions
of approval, as stated in the staff report, and finalize the plans prior to City Council’s
approval of the development agreement. He noted that the development
agreement will include provisions to allow the City to approve the building permit
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 3 of 12
prior to IDOT’s vacating the right-of-way, to delay approving the parking lot permit
until IDOT’s approval is received, and requiring modification to the development
agreement if the submitted plans are substantially changed.
Mr. Olson referred to the sample motion on page 12 of the March 24, 2017 staff
report, including the plans listed in Exhibit 1 and the Required Changes and
Conditions of Approval.
Community Development Director Jo Ellen Charlton addressed the Sanitary
District’s requests to revise the conditions for approval. She stated that the building
permit can be issued but occupancy approval and parking lot permit issuance will
be withheld until IDOT vacates the right-of-way and an updated plat that includes
that property is produced. She stated she believed the petitioner’s requests
regarding future improvements will be addressed in the development agreement,
which the City Attorney and staff are still finalizing.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Jim Schneider of 1139 State Street addressed the Commission. He stated he has
attended Sanitary District meetings and expressed concern about the recent fee
increases and those in the future to cover the cost of this expansion. He stated
that usage is down recently due to lack of development and asked why the
expansion is necessary now. He noted that the Sanitary District received stimulus
funds from the federal government to fund the first phase of the expansion. He
requested that the Sanitary District explore the possibility to become a regional
waste water treatment facility so that more users could contribute fees and help
fund the expansion.
Steve Kapitan of 1228 Sycamore Road addressed the Commission. He stated his
property is located across from the expansion site. He voiced concerned that
clarifiers to be placed behind the vacant bank building and Wendy’s properties will
cause odor issues for neighbors. He requested the intersection’s current stoplight
and the facility’s new entrance be aligned and an access road from the bank,
across the Sanitary District property, to the relocated Hollister Avenue be added.
He stated he believed it would be a simple adjustment to the plan and would
decrease car accidents that occur frequently due to drivers entering and exiting
Jewel and the former bank. He asked if zoning the vacant lot and the rental unit at
1221 Sycamore Road at the southwest corner of Sycamore Road and Hollister
Avenue to commercial could be done as part of this project.
Mr. Olson responded that the current petition does not include those properties.
Mr. Eddington responded to Mr. Schneider’s comments. He stated that the project
will not increase the current capacity; it will replace the current capacity, conform
to new environment regulations, and allow expansion into a regional utility in the
future if the need arises. He stated that neighboring communities currently treat
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 4 of 12
their own wastewater, but they could connect with the DeKalb facility. He reported
that, even with the recent rate increases, the typical family currently pays
approximately $26 per month for DeKalb sewer service, which is 20% less than
Sycamore’s rates.
Mr. Schneider asked if there are plans to become a regional facility. Mr. Eddington
responded that there are no definite plans.
Mr. Schneider asked if Cortland planned to connect to the DeKalb facility as they
had been in the past but are now discharging waste water into land. Mr. Eddington
responded that the District is open to discussing options with other communities.
Mr. Eddington responded to Mr. Kapitan’s questions. He stated that positioning the
facility’s drive so that nearby commercial properties could use it was not part of the
plan. He stated that it would increase traffic on the facility’s property. The relocation
of the administration building would be complicated due to underground facilities
as well. He stated that accidents are common at the intersection where 13th Street
and Hollister Avenue cross Sycamore Road, and the facility’s plan to straighten
the roadway should help reduce accidents. In response to the question regarding
including 1221 Sycamore Road in the project, Mr. Eddington reported that the
property owner inquired about selling his property to the District, and the District
will consider it.
Chair Atherton asked Mr. Eddington to respond to Mr. Kapitan’s concern regarding
odor. He reiterated that odor should not be a problem as the nature of the waste
and the capacity will remain the same. He noted that the clarifiers will be about
100 feet from the other properties. He added that the development agreement will
include provisions for installing odor abatement.
Mr. Kapitan asked how the new primary clarifiers’ location was determined. Mr.
Eddington responded that the higher ground will allow gravity to move the waste
water more efficiently.
Mr. Kapitan returned to his earlier comments. He stated that minor revisions to the
plans to relocate the access road and parking lot would improve traffic flow and
benefit the City and nearby commercial properties. He reiterated his suggestion to
consider rezoning the two nearby residential properties at the southwest corner of
Sycamore Road and Hollister Avenue.
Chair Atherton stated that rezoning the residential properties was outside the
Commission’s purview at this time.
Planner Olson responded that rezoning requests are normally sought by property
owners, not initiated by the City. He stated that the current request does not include
those properties, but they could be looked at when the Comprehensive Plan is
reviewed. He added that the owners of the vacant bank property were mailed
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 5 of 12
notices regarding the project, and they did not approach the City to request
connection to Hollister Avenue. He said the City encourages cross access between
commercial developments, especially when road stubs are already present.
Mr. Kapitan recalled that the property owners who built the bank requested access
to Hollister Avenue in the past but were denied due to objections from the owners
of adjacent residential properties. He voiced concern that his suggestions were
being disregarded.
Planner Olson responded that even if the bank property connected to Hollister
Avenue, the property would still have direct access to Sycamore Road, so safety
issues would not be reduced. He stated the Sanitary District did not propose
connecting Hollister Avenue to the nearby commercial properties. He asked the
Sanitary District to respond further.
Mr. Eddington stated that the Sanitary District has been in contact with Brian
Rosenow, the owner of the bank property, and had long discussions about
purchasing that property and using the bank building to house the plant’s
administration. This option did not go forward because the renovations would have
been extensive, and it would have been too distant from the plant’s laboratory and
other operations.
Mr. Schneider asked if there was an alternative plan if the EPA does not fully fund
this project due to the new federal administration.
Mr. Eddington stated that the current plant is old and inefficient, it struggles to meet
current regulations, and it will soon be unable to meet future regulations. He stated
that if IEPA cannot provide $46 million in low interest loans, repayable over 20
years, the Sanitary District will seek to issue bonds to fund the project. He added
that the District must adhere to state and federal regulations as well as to local
standards for quality wastewater treatment.
Chair Atherton closed public comment period at 6:45 PM.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Commissioner Castro reported he visited the current facility for a tour and spoke
with Sanitary District staff. He encouraged the public to visit and learn about the
water treatment facility. He asked Mr. Eddington to discuss how regulations affect
the operations at the facility.
Mr. Eddington responded that drinking water has standards that are set and waste
water regulations change to meet the limits of technology. He explained that the
Sanitary District applies for and receives a 5-year NPDS permit from the Federal
EPA, administered by the Illinois EPA. The facility’s current permit is set to expire
May 1st, and the new permit will likely have additional stringent regulations. He
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 6 of 12
explained that a regulation to require monitoring a particular contaminant is
typically a precursor to a regulation to require removal of that contaminant. He
stated that allowable ammonia will soon be half of the current allowable amount,
and removal of nutrients, namely phosphorus and nitrogen, are likely forthcoming.
D. Castro asked how long the Sanitary District facility’s improvements have been
under discussion. Mr. Eddington responded that this project has been discussed
for at least 15 years, and during the past five years the public has been aware of
the planned improvements.
D. Castro asked how long the City of DeKalb has been aware of the Sanitary
District’s expansion plans. Planner Olson responded he was aware the Sanitary
District approached the City last year. Mr. Eddington reported that over the past
several years, multiple past City employees have been involved in discussions
regarding the facility’s need for improvements.
K. Barbe asked for clarification regarding changes to Hollister Avenue. Mr.
Eddington provided an overview of the improvements. He approached the dais to
show Ms. Barbe on her tablet where the current road lies and how the proposed
layout of the facility will be configured. She asked if homeowners on Krpan Court
had any input. Mr. Eddington stated that the District has been in contact with those
property owners over the past year and assured her the existing tree line will
remain and additional trees will be planted.
Chair Atherton asked Mr. Eddington for an estimated timeline for IDOT to approve
the request to vacate the right-of-way and asked what would happen if IDOT
denied their request. Mr. Eddington responded that the property could be
condemned if their request is denied. He stated that IDOT approval may take
months, but approval was likely.
Chair Atherton asked what the address of the facility will be. Mr. Eddington
responded it has not been determined yet.
Chair Atherton invited further comments from the Commission and the City. She
thanked the citizens for their comments. She also thanked the Sanitary District for
their willingness to be open and communicate with citizens, City staff, and the
Commission. She reported her father worked at a water treatment facility in
Rochelle, and she understood how facilities must change as regulations change.

V. Buckley stated that, based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented,
she moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact
as outlined in the March 24, 2017 staff report to the Planning and Zoning

F. NEW BUSINESS
1. Public hearing on a petition by Kelley Williamson Company represented by
Russell Anderson for approval of a Special Use Permit for a gasoline station
and approval of a variation to the lighting standards in Article 10.05.01 (2) of
the Unified Development Ordinance to increase the average ground level foot-
candle levels, and other approvals as required to accommodate the proposed
use on property which is zoned “GC” General Commercial District and located
at 1020 N. 1st St.
PETITIONER PRESENTATION
Russell Anderson of 120 West State Street in Rockford, Illinois, legal counsel for
Kelley Williamson Company, presented on behalf of the petitioner. He provided a
history of the Kelley Williamson Company dating back to 1932. He said the family-
owned business operates more than 40 gas stations and convenient stores,
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 8 of 12
including one in Cortland. He stated he has represented the petitioner for 30 years
and can attest that Kelley Williamson Company has an excellent reputation in the
industry, with its employees, in the communities in which they operate, and with
the Mobil brand.
Mr. Anderson stated that the proposal will be an unattended self-service gas
station with latest technology and systems required by fire regulations, including
automatic notification to the fire department and shutoffs. He listed the proposed
improvements:
• four canopy-covered fueling islands with diesel fuel available at one island
• 216.5 sf building to house the operating equipment, district manager’s
office, a restroom, and ATM
• video surveillance that the police department can access
• landscaping
He displayed on the screen a rendering of the proposed site improvements and a
photo of the current condition of the site.
Mr. Anderson stated that the site in question was a gas station with a mechanic
bay beginning in the 1960s. He stated that Kelley Williamson purchased the
property in 1994 from Mr. Breese and planned to demolish and rebuild
immediately. He stated that, after the sale, they learned significant remediation
was required. The remediation measures were recently completed and
confirmation was received from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
He displayed on the screen images of the type of trash enclosure that will be
installed and the brick to be used on the trash enclosure, building, canopy columns,
and base of the corner pedestal sign. He also provided a sample of the bricks. He
displayed images of the pedestal sign, which will include Mobil and the bank that
operates the ATM.
He provided reasons the proposed development is appropriate for the location:
• other gas stations are located on the same intersection, one of which is no
longer in operation,
• the modern and attractive building and landscaping elements will improve
the character of the area
• safety will be increased due to eliminating the two access points closest to
the intersection of First Street and Hillcrest Drive,
He discussed the variance requested to allow for more intense lighting than the
allowable average 5 foot candles, noting that the recently approved Casey’s
development will include lighting similar to the current proposal. He added that the
proposed development’s small lot size affects the average light intensity
measurement. He stated that the proposed lighting improves security and helps
customers feel safer. He provided photometric readings measured under the
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 9 of 12
canopy and at the edge of the property and displayed aerial view photos showing
the nature and intensity of the proposed lighting, which does not reach to the edge
of the property in any appreciable way.
Mr. Anderson reported that the applicant agrees to conform to the standards for
the special use and variation findings of fact as presented in the staff report, and
encourages the Commission to adopt those findings of fact and approve the
requested lighting variation according to the March 24, 2017 photometric report.
STAFF REPORT
Planner Olson acknowledged that the site is small. He stated that improvement
plans increase the safety of the site. He reported that fuel delivery trucks can safely
enter and leave the site and will not travel south on First Street due to the weight
limits on the nearby bridge. He stated that the parking for the site is sufficient for
the use. He added that the proposed landscaping meets the UDO requirements
and includes planting additional shrubs and sod at the City’s request. He noted
that the canopy sign plans submitted will be revised to decrease the size and
number to conform to the UDO requirements.
He stated that the petitioner’s submitted plans meet the standards of a special use,
except for the lighting, for which the applicant has requested a variance. He stated
that the petitioner’s submitted lighting plans were reviewed by the City’s
engineering consultant, who recommended reducing the average foot candles to
better match the UDO requirements. The applicant’s photometric plan indicates an
average foot candle level of 9.07 with a maximum of 36.9 under the canopy. He
noted that the Casey’s lighting average was lower due to the size of the site, but
under the canopy it was measured at 32 foot candles. He added that industry
standards for lighting at gas stations is recommended to be 30 foot candles.
At 7:22 PM, Chair Atherton opened the public portion.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Steve Kapitan of 1228 Sycamore Road asked that the lighting be carefully directed
downward.
Mr. Anderson responded that the lights beneath the canopy and on the poles will
be high-efficiency focused small lens LED lights, and they will be installed to direct
light downward. He said these types of fixtures are expensive but save electricity.
Atherton closed the public hearing at 7:24 PM.

COMMISSION DISCUSSION
K. Barbe asked if the facility will accept credit and debit cards and cash. She voiced
concern about security and cameras.
Bob Sanderson of Kelley Williamson, located at 1132 Harrison Avenue in
Rockford, responded that security cameras will be installed on the pumps and
cover the lot. He stated cash and fast passes will be accepted, as well as credit
and debit cards. He added that the ATM onsite will dispense cash for patrons who
want to receive a cash discount when paying at the pump.
K. Barbe asked how long the cameras’ recordings are saved. Mr. Sanderson
responded that the recording equipment saves up to three months, which can be
reviewed if necessary.
K. Barbe asked if the beautiful landscaping presented in the materials will be
planted and how it will be maintained. Mr. Sanderson responded that the
landscaping will be planted as stated in the plan and maintained by company-hired
staff. He stated a locally-hired manager will be on site for about 4 hours each day
for the first month or so, and then daily for about an hour. He added that trash will
be emptied daily.
Chair Atherton asked where similar Kelley Williams gas station are located. Mr.
Sanderson stated that three unmanned facilities exist in the Rockford area. Chair
Atherton commented that people often do not notice whether a station is manned
because so many pay at the pump.
V. Buckley asked why the petitioners did not chose to locate on the other nearby
corner property that has existing gas pumps. Mr. Sanderson responded that the
petitioner wanted to use the subject property, which it already owned. V. Buckley
added that she worked in a building that shared a parking lot with the Kelley
Williamson Company, which maintained its building well.
D. Castro asked if a space was omitted in the second sentence under VI.
Conclusions and Recommendations on page 6 of the staff report. He noted for the
record that “incompliance” should be “in compliance.” Mr. Olson confirmed it is
typographical error and will be corrected.
D. Castro acknowledged Mr. Kapitan’s concerns and noted that the light intensity
is significantly less at the edge of the property compared to under the canopy. He
asked who reviewed the lighting plan. Mr. Olson responded the City’s consulting
engineer, WBK Engineering, has a lighting expert who reviewed the submitted
lighting plan, made recommendations, and approved the revised plan. He added
that the Illuminating Engineering Society’s guideline for gas station lighting is an
average of 30 foot candles. Mr. Castro voiced support for increasing the lighting
on the corner where people walk.
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 29, 2017
Page 11 of 12
K. Barbe noted that the children from Clinton Rosette Middle School often walk
across the street at that corner.
Chair Atherton asked for clarification regarding the staff’s recommendation to
include a condition to revise the signage plan. Mr. Olson responded that the
petitioner has agreed to submit a revised signage plan that places signage on only
two sides, not three, of the canopy and reduces the size of those signs, as required
by the UDO regulations. He stated that the condition was include because the
revised plans have not been submitted yet.
MOTION
D. Castro stated, based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, he
moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact and
recommend to the City Council approval of a Special Use Permit for a gasoline
station to be located at 1020 N. 1st St. subject to the conditions listed on Exhibit A
of the staff report. This motion includes a revision to Exhibit A, line item 1, which
refers to Exhibit B, in which item 8 shall read, “Brick color detail from Belden Brick
with gray bricks (labeled 661 Smooth) for the utility building trash enclosure,
canopy piers, and ground sign.”
V. Buckley seconded the motion.

Articles of Chapter 23 “Unified Development Ordinance” of the Municipal Code: Article 3
“Definitions,” Article 5 “Zoning District Regulations,” Article 7 “Supplemental District
Regulations,” and Article 12 “Off-Street Parking, Loading, and Storage Requirements”
regarding Video Gaming Establishments.
STAFF REPORT
Principal Planner Dan Olson summarized the February 15, 2017 Commission
discussion regarding video gaming establishments. He reviewed the Commission’s
request for City staff to develop more objective criteria in the proposed amendment to
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 2 of 15
UDO Article 3.01, which adds and defines a Video Gaming Establishment. Mr. Olson
presented to the Commission Exhibit I, which included revised language, underlined as
follows:
Item 3 (additional language). Establishments that have a Category 2 or 3 Food
Establishment Permit from the DeKalb County Health Department (or equivalent
licensure or authorization that provides predominantly for service of food items
for consumption on-site, when prepared offsite) or which do not provide for the
service of any food items.
Item 5 (new language). The floorplan for such facility is designed in such a
fashion as to indicate that the predominant purpose of the facility is video
gaming, based upon the distribution of a disproportionate area for video gaming
terminals and related seating, in comparison to other seating areas in the facility
(e.g. if the facility features a video gaming terminal area that includes open floor
space around it that is disproportionate in quantity or orientation to the open floor
space allotted around non-video gaming terminal seating, it shall be presumed
that the facility is a Video Gaming Establishment).
Item 6 (new language). The documentation submitted to the City in relation to
such establishment, whether as a component of a liquor license application,
video gaming terminal application, or any other submittal to the City, indicates
that the primary or a primary purpose of the establishment is video gaming, such
as through the documents accompanying any such application.
Item 7 (new language). The facility shares a name or ownership with another
existing Video Gaming Establishment within the State of Illinois (applying the
same criteria described herein).
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
D. Castro addressed the public comment from Mr. Kapitan at the February 15, 2017
meeting recommending that the Commission clarify that video gaming terminals are
gambling machines. He noted that these types of establishments are controversial. He
restated his concerns regarding the open-ended nature of the language in the final
condition in the previously proposed definition of Video Gaming Establishments (#5)
and the currently proposed definition (#8). He recommended the Commission consider
removing or revising the final condition in the amendment before approving it. He noted
that he looked in the UDO and could not find a comparable condition that gives the
Community Development Director this discretionary power.
Mr. Olson referred to the Design Review scoring criteria for single-family houses, which
allows the Community Development Director some discretion in evaluating the designs
of single-family homes.

D. Nier requested a summary of the last meeting’s discussion because she was not
present. Director Charlton explained that developing criteria for new definitions requires
consideration of scenarios in which someone could work around a regulation without
actually violating it. D. Nier suggested that examples be added to the final condition,
with the language “such as or including, but not limited to.”
D. Castro recalled the City Council assigned the Planning and Zoning Commission the
task of defining a principal use video gaming establishment. He said the final condition
allows for too much leeway.
K. Barbe asked City staff what potential consequences could arise if the proposed
amendment were approved without the language in the final condition. Director Charlton
responded that when regulations are overly specific, clever and determined applicants
can find ways to work around them. She reminded the Commission that the UDO is a
fluid document and can be amended in the future if a problem arises.
J. Wright pointed out that the definition of a primary use already grants authority to the
Community Development Director or designee to determine the primary purpose or
function. Mr. Olson responded that the UDO permits that discretion in many other
situations.
Chair Atherton stated that the new amendment language does help to clarify the
definition of a video gaming establishment. D. Castro stated he opposes approval of the
new language unless the final condition in item #8 were removed. He encouraged City
staff to include in the recommendation memo to City Council the option to discuss the
final condition in item #8.
MOTION
D. Castro motioned that, based on the submitted petition and testimony presented, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the text
amendments to Articles 3 “Definitions,” excluding item #8, 5.07 “LC” Light Commercial
District, 5.08 “GC” General Commercial District, 7 ‘”Supplemental District Regulations”
and 12 “Parking and Loading” of the UDO as indicated in Exhibit I. J. Wright seconded
the motion.
No further discussion occurred. Chair Atherton requested a roll call vote.
VOTE
A roll call vote was taken. Yea: K. Barbe, V. Buckley, D. Castro, M. Crull, D. Nier, J.
Wright, Chair Atherton. The motion passed 7-0.

F. NEW BUSINESS
1. Public Hearing on a petition by Justice Grown represented by Jamil Taylor for
approval of a Zoning Map Amendment from the “LI” Light Industrial District to the
“PD-I” Planned Development – Industrial District to allow for a medical cannabis
dispensary and consideration to approve a Planned Development less than two
acres and a medical cannabis dispensary in a multi-tenant building, located at
650 Peace Road.
PETITIONER PRESENTATION
Jamil Taylor of 311 N. Aberdeen, Chicago, Illinois, and Vice President of Development
at Justice Grown spoke before the Commission. He provided background information
regarding Justice Grown’s history, its business operations, and diverse staff including
women and minorities. Justice Grown was founded by two social justice attorneys and
began operation in 2014 after receiving an Illinois cultivation center license. He
explained why they sought to locate to 650 Peace Road in DeKalb and how the medical
cannabis dispensary would operate safely.
Ashley Peterson of 311 N. Aberdeen, Chicago, Illinois, spoke before the Commission.
She stated that Justice Grown’s medical cannabis cultivation center is located in
Effingham County, Illinois, and this year will be its first harvest. She provided an
overview of past and current developments in the United States and in Illinois regarding
legalization of cannabis. She cited statements in various media sources supporting
legalization of cannabis and dispelling myths about crime surrounding cannabis
operations. She provided data regarding Illinois cultivation centers and dispensaries,
increased tax revenue, new job creation, and the doctor certified medical conditions that
allow patients to obtain medical cannabis.
Mr. Taylor stated that DeKalb has the highest population density within DeKalb County,
and residents with qualifying medical conditions currently travel an hour or more to
medical cannabis dispensaries. He reported a decreasing trend in opiate addiction and
associated crimes in communities where medical cannabis dispensaries are located. He
stated the dispensary will create five to ten new jobs in DeKalb and generate significant
tax revenue to the State of Illinois. He stated that the proposed location on Peace Road
provides many benefits: retail atmosphere, appropriate size, law enforcement visibility,
adequate parking, interior delivery vehicle access, and moderate traffic past the
location. Justice Grown seeks involvement in the community through donating time,
partnering with anti-drug programs, hosting health fair events in conjunction with the
nearby massage therapy and chiropractic offices.
Mr. Taylor displayed an image of the proposed facility’s floor plan and security
measures, including 25+ cameras with facial and license plate recognition that record
day and night and allow remote access for Illinois authorities to view. He stated that the
dispensary will coordinate security with the DeKalb Police Department and notify them
of delivery times, and an on-staff security guard staff will monitor the inside and outside
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 5 of 15
of the facility during business hours. He added that these measures protect other
tenants in the business center. He stated that no medical cannabis dispensary in Illinois
has experienced a break-in or robbery due to these security measures, many of which
are required by the State.
Mr. Taylor listed other security measures, including biometric fingerprint readers, motion
detectors, infrared sensors, glass-break sensors, panic buttons, door sensors, a steel
plated vault room, and card readers for staff with various levels of access. He displayed
images of proposed designs elements, including privacy window treatments in the front
of the building, interior improvements for comfort and safety, and a secure sally port
delivery door. He also displayed an aerial map and noted the location meets setback
and separation requirements.
STAFF REPORT
Principal Planner Dan Olson presented an overview of the staff report included in the
meeting packet. He reported that the petitioner’s request is to change the zoning from LI
to PD-I. He noted that regulations for medical cannabis dispensaries and cultivation
centers were added to the City’s UDO shortly after the State of Illinois passed medical
cannabis laws in 2014. He stated that the rezoning request includes two variances: (1)
the proposed location is 1.25 acres, whereas PD-I zoning requires 2 or more acres, and
(2) the proposed location is in a multi-tenant building, whereas the medical cannabis
regulations require a stand-alone building.
Mr. Olson reported that the applicants and City’s Police Chief have met. The Police
Chief has reviewed the proposal and agreed that the building improvements will satisfy
the same security requirements as a stand-alone building. He added that a security
agreement between the applicant and the Police Department is recommended for
approval prior to the City Council’s action.
Mr. Olson noted that the petitioners had limited choices where they could locate in
DeKalb due to UDO regulations. He stated that the proposed location meets
requirements regarding parking spaces, setbacks, and high visibility. He noted that
existing 2,000-square-foot free standing buildings in industrial areas are difficult to find,
as existing industrial buildings are usually much larger.
Mr. Olson cited the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation’s website for a list of licensed dispensaries. He noted that 51 of 60 available
licenses have been approved. He stated that DeKalb County has no dispensary, and
the nearest one is least 30 miles away. He added that the two dispensaries approved in
Sycamore do not appear on the list, so it can be assumed that they are not in operation.
Mr. Olson reaffirmed that the proposal meets the rezoning standards, is consistent with
the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the location, and adheres to most of the UDO
requirements. He stated that City staff recommends approval of the petition with
conditions, including the establishment of the security agreement.

At 7:00 PM, Chair Atherton invited the public to comment on the proposal.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Duane Brown, resident of DeKalb, voiced support for the proposal. He cited studies of
medical cannabis efficacy for treatment of various diseases and conditions. He
recommended that the State expand the list of approved conditions that allow medical
cannabis use. He provided examples of social, economic, and environmental benefits to
communities with marijuana dispensaries. He cited polls that support a majority of
citizens approve of legalizing marijuana, and a majority of oncologists support medical
marijuana use. He added that tax revenue generated by legal marijuana sales in Illinois
is significant.
Tracy Gowran, a registered nurse, general manager at a nearby medical cannabis
dispensary, and a new resident of Maple Park, stated that since treating her Crohn’s
Disease with medical cannabis oil, she has been in remission for eight months and has
stopped needing other medications. She voiced support for the proposed medical
cannabis dispensary in DeKalb because it will benefit people in communities
surrounding DeKalb who sometimes have trouble traveling to her dispensary’s location.
Michael Embrey, resident of 425 Fairmont Drive in DeKalb, voiced support for approval
of the petition. He stated that his office has been in the unit next door to the proposed
dispensary for eight years, and the landlord is accommodating and the facility is well
maintained. He stated that the proposed security and frequent traffic make it a great
location.
Linda Hallstrom, resident of 1419 Larson St. in Sycamore and a retired school principal,
voiced support for the proposal. She stated that her adult child is a patient with a
prescription for medical cannabis, and she was grateful he could use medical marijuana
to treat his condition. She reported that, in her experience, medical cannabis is
prepackaged like medication from a pharmacy.
Clint Kelly, resident of Sycamore, voiced support for the proposal. He stated he is an
eligible patient with a medical marijuana prescription for the management of pain due to
a childhood neck injury. He reported he has tried other medications that have caused
damage to his body, but medical marijuana is effective and safer for him. He stated he
has driven two hours or more to Chicago to fill his prescription. He provided to the
petitioners written recommendations for providing a scent-free workplace to help him
and others to be comfortable when visiting the dispensary.
Dr. Arthur John Chatellier, resident of 4541 46th St. in Rock Island, voiced support for
the proposal. He stated that for nearly 17 years, his chiropractic office has been located
at 650 Peace Road, in one of the other units in the same building as the proposed
medical cannabis dispensary. He stated he is also Vice Commander of the American
Legion Post 66 in DeKalb. He listed conditions that are successfully treated with
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 7 of 15
prescribed medical cannabis, including PTSD, cancer, glaucoma, and other conditions.
He said he has had conversations with others about the proposed medical cannabis
dispensary, and he reported that people have become open-minded recently about
medical use of marijuana. He said the proposed location is ideal at the edge of town
with a large buffer zone. He reported that his office has been broken into two times in
the past 17 years, although nothing was stolen. He stated that he will feel more secure
once the security measures are added by the dispensary. He reported that the
availability of legal marijuana in the community will decrease the illegal market activities.
He added that loitering will be strictly prohibited and enforced.
Mark Pipyne, resident of 742 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb, voiced support for the proposal.
He asked if clearance of the dispensary staff has been considered and whether City’s
staffing or services will be affected by the dispensary. He asked for more information
about how medical marijuana use reduces opiate use. He also asked whether the
dispensary will be allowed to expand if Illinois decides to allow recreational marijuana in
the future.
Chair Atherton asked the petitioners to respond to the questions posed by Mr. Pipyne
regarding loitering and employee clearance measures.
Mr. Taylor stated that the staff security guard will be present during business hours,
which will prevent any loitering. He added that use of product is not allowed in the
facility nor in the public, including the parking lot. Ms. Peterson thanked the members of
the public who shared their private experiences with medical cannabis and voiced
support for the proposal. She explained that when the security officer is not speaking to
patients, that person will be monitoring the security cameras to address loitering before
it could become a problem.
Mr. Taylor stated that employees and patients must be fingerprinted and undergo
background checks. He said that potential employees will be interviewed up to eight
times and tested on product knowledge. He added that the dispensary will make an
effort to hire employees from the community.
Mr. Pipyne returned to the podium and asked if the agreement will include the
requirement to hire employees from DeKalb City or County. Ms. Peterson responded
that there currently is no written requirement for the Effingham cultivation center to hire
locally but there is an understanding. She and Mr. Taylor agreed to hire local employees
as much as possible.
Mr. Taylor added that the dispensary has not yet been awarded a license to operate by
the State of Illinois, but they are hopeful they will succeed. He also confirmed that the
storefront will not include flashy signage. He added that, if recreational use was
approved in the future, meetings will be necessary to consider any changes to the
medical use of the facility.

Jeff Richardson, landlord of most of the complex, including 650 Peace Road, voiced
support for the proposal. He stated he was confident the proposed security measures
will be sufficient and was impressed with the petitioners’ plans. He also related a
personal experience of knowing a young woman who was diagnosed with late stage
cancer and benefitted from using marijuana to remain comfortable as she was dying.
Mr. Kelly returned to the podium and reported he has visited a number of medical
cannabis dispensaries and never witnessed any loitering. He stated that having a
nearby dispensary with whom he can develop a relationship will be beneficial to him
personally because they can order the specific strain of medical cannabis he needs.
Seeing and hearing no further comments, Chair Atherton closed the public hearing at
7:29 PM.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Commissioner Crull voiced support for the proposal and recommended approval.
Commissioner Wright asked what types of products they would sell. Ms. Peterson
responded that the State of Illinois regulates the types of products that are available,
including three types: products that can be smoked, edible foods and drinks, and
concentrates that can be vaporized or ingested in other ways.
J. Wright asked what times the dispensary would operate. Mr. Taylor responded they
plan to open at 10:00 AM. He said the dispensary would close during midday slow
hours, and peak hours are in the morning and after 5:00 PM. He noted that the State of
Illinois prohibits dispensary operation after 7:00 PM. He stated that deliveries would
occur only when closed, likely in the morning between 8:00 and 10:00 on various days
of the week, and the dispensary will be open six days a week.
J. Wright asked for the dispensary’s staffing plans. Mr. Taylor responded that
employees will include one full-time manager, two full-time patient care advocates, one
full-time and two part-time receptionists, and one security officer. Additional employees
will be hired when the number of patients warrants additional staff.
J. Wright asked how the facility will advertise its presence. Mr. Taylor responded that
the State of Illinois does not allow cultivation centers to advertise, but dispensaries do
have limited marketing capabilities. He asked for guidance from the community for
appropriate marketing methods and venues, and mentioned patients can access cell
phone apps and websites. Ms. Peterson added that smart marketing will be used,
including partnering with other organizations to arrange public events to learn about the
program, which are often publicized on social media. Most marketing is geared toward
individuals who are seeking information. Mr. Taylor added the State of Illinois requires
an open house prior to opening to meet owners, staff, and growers.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 9 of 15
J. Wright asked for the projected revenue for the facility. Mr. Taylor responded with
conservative expectations. He explained that qualifying patients are required to register
at only one dispensary, and maximum amounts and frequency are limited. He added
that all dispensaries use the same tracking system, so these limits are enforced.
J. Wright asked if cultivations centers exist closer than Effingham. Ms. Peterson
responded that the State of Illinois awarded one cultivation center in each state police
district; therefore, cultivation centers may exist in nearby police districts.
Commissioner Barbe and Commissioner Buckley stated they had no questions.
Commissioner Nier commended the petitioners on their presentation and voiced support
for approving the proposal. She noted that many patients seek alternatives to traditional
medication in favor of more natural options. She stated that the community should
consider ways to meet patients’ needs in a responsible manner.
Commissioner Castro asked how the dispensaries and cultivation centers handle funds
due to varying state and local laws. Mr. Taylor responded that most medical cannabis
operations are connected to a couple banks in Illinois. He explained that instead of a
traditional cash register, the dispensary employees will use a secure Smart Safe, which
is a machine connected to a safe that can accept cash, dispense change, and perform
debit transactions from local banks. Mr. Taylor added that an ATM inside the dispensary
will be available for patients to use to avoid arriving with large amounts of cash. For
additional safety, patients may request the staff security officer to walk them to their
cars after they make their purchases.
D. Castro recalled that, within the past 12 months or so, the Commission worked with
City staff to formulate regulations for a future medical cannabis dispensary in DeKalb.
He thanked City staff for thinking ahead to lay the groundwork for the smooth
progression of considering the proposal.
Chair Atherton commended the petitioners on their presentation. She stated she was
not well-informed about medical cannabis and was initially skeptical about the proposal.
However, she said the presentation alleviated her concerns. She also asked for
clarification regarding the security guard’s schedule. Mr. Taylor responded that during
operating hours, the security guard will be present and multiple cameras will be
monitored by the security guard and staff, and the cameras will be recording at all times.
He added that 90 days of recordings will be stored on-site, and 140 days of recordings
will be stored in the Cloud.
Chair Atherton asked if the Police Department will have access to the facility cameras.
Planner Olson responded that access for the Police will need to be arranged. Ms.
Peterson also responded that Illinois State Police and the State of Illinois have remote
access to the cameras in real time and any recording. She added that an auditor who
performs weekly and surprise inspections will also have access to the cameras and
recordings.

Chair Atherton asked City staff for further comments. Planner Olson responded that the
security agreement with the City Police Department will be a required prior to City
Council action.
Seeing and hearing no further discussion, Chair Atherton requested a motion.
MOTION
M. Crull motioned that based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, he
moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact and
recommend to the City Council approval of a Zoning Map Amendment from the “LI”
Light Industrial District to the “PD-I” Planned Development Industrial District to permit a
medical cannabis dispensary and exceptions to the UDO regarding minimum lot size for
a Planned Development and for a medical cannabis dispensary in a multi-tenant
building for the property located at 650 Peace Road in the tenant space as shown on
Exhibit A and subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B of the staff report.
D. Nier seconded the motion. No further discussion occurred. Chair Atherton requested
a roll call vote.
VOTE
A roll call vote was taken. Yea: K. Barbe, V. Buckley, D. Castro, M. Crull, D. Nier, J.
Wright, Chair Atherton. The motion passed 7-0.
After the vote, Chair Atherton thanked the audience members who spoke before the
Commission.
2. Public Hearing on a petition by USCOC of Central Illinois LLC represented by Jenni
Kellis of Site Acquisition Solutions for approval of a Special Use Permit for an
existing antenna on top of a 16-story building to allow for an upgrade of
communication equipment. The subject site is located at 507 E. Taylor Street and
zoned “RC-1” Residential Conservation 1 District.
PETITIONER PRESENTATION
Sean Kellis, 19730 Bellwood Blvd., Gretna, Nebraska, presented on behalf of the
petitioner. He stated that USCOC has an existing lease agreement for rooftop space
with the DeKalb County Housing Authority, which has already approved the proposed
changes. He displayed slides of the site location, drawings of the proposed changes,
and photos of the view of the rooftop with the existing equipment and after proposed
changes. He provided a summary of the proposed changes, including the replacement
of existing equipment and addition of new equipment.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 11 of 15
STAFF REPORT
Planner Olson presented for the City. He provided a summary of the existing equipment
on the rooftop at 507 E. Taylor St. He said three carriers lease space on the rooftop to
place equipment, including three US Cellular antennas. He noted that US Cellular did
not obtain a Special Use Permit when the equipment was installed in 2001.
Mr. Olson cited UDO Article 7 requirements for a Special Use Permit for co-locating an
antenna on a tower and for subsequent equipment upgrades and expansions, including
installing additional screening. He referred to the UDO standards for antenna facilities
and Special Use Permit standards, and stated the proposal meets the applicable
standards. He reported that the City received two citizen responses, one from the
Housing Authority, which owns the building, and one from a resident who lives in an
adjacent home, both of which were generally in support of the proposal. He stated that
City staff recommends approval of the proposal as presented with conditions provided
in the staff report.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mark Pipyne, resident of 742 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb, stated his home is on the west
side of the green space next to the building in question. He voiced support for the
proposal, provided the work is done according to code. He questioned why the
additional screening is required. He stated that the roof and its equipment is not within
eyesight most of the time, except perhaps for bird watchers. He recalled 10-15 years
ago when a helicopter transported equipment to the roof. He recommended not
requiring the petitioner to build additional screening and donating those funds to benefit
residents of the building.
Mr. Olson responded that the screening requirements cannot be waived since they are
part of the UDO. Mr. Pipyne stated for the record he believed the screening to be
superfluous.
Hearing and seeing no further comments, Chair Atherton closed the public meeting at
7:59.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Commissioner Castro confirmed that Mr. Pipyne’s written comments were received by
the Commission as one of the two citizen responses. He asked City staff for clarification
about the approval process. Mr. Olson responded that the City’s building permit review
and inspection process will confirm the stability of the equipment upgrades. Mr. Olson
referred Mr. Pipyne to the UDO for detailed regulations for Special Use Permit
processes and requirements.
D. Castro recalled past Commission discussion regarding requiring additional
screening, and the Commission added screening provisions to the UDO.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 12 of 15
Mr. Pipyne and Mr. Olson had a short discussion regarding requiring screening in less
visible locations.
Chair Atherton reminded everyone that the public hearing was closed, and the
Commission would be interested in hearing Mr. Pipyne’s concerns, and she invited him
to submit additional written comments. She thanked Mr. Pipyne for his comments. She
stated she also recalled past Commission discussion regarding requiring additional
screening and Special Uses.
Seeing and hearing no further discussion, Chair Atherton requested a motion.
MOTION
M. Crull stated, based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, he
motioned that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact and
recommend to the City Council approval of a Special Use Permit for existing antenna
and associated equipment on top of a 16-story building to allow for an upgrade of
communication equipment for the property located at 507 E. Taylor Street subject to the
following:
1. The antenna and equipment upgrades and screening shall comply with the drawings
indicated on Exhibit A of the staff report.
2. The applicant will be required to submit the necessary application and plans to the
City in compliance with applicable Building Codes and the regulations of Article 7.08
of the UDO (Wireless Communications Ordinance).
V. Buckley seconded the motion. No further discussion occurred. Chair Atherton
requested a roll call vote.
VOTE
A roll call vote was taken. Yea: K. Barbe, V. Buckley, D. Castro, M. Crull, D. Nier, J.
Wright, Chair Atherton. The motion passed 7-0.
3. Public Hearing on a proposal by Amy Bemis and Property Owner Renee Bemis for an
amendment to the Special Use Permit approved via Ordinance 2016-033 to remove
the conditions requiring the existing monument sign on the south side of the
driveway entrance of the property located at 1890 Sycamore Road be removed upon
activation of the digital sign approved in the Ordinance.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 13 of 15
PETITIONER PRESENTATION
Amy Bemis, resident of 691 Reserve Ct., South Elgin, spoke before the Commission.
She stated the approval of the Special Use Permit last year included a condition to
remove the existing Toyota monument sign when the new digital sign was installed. She
stated this was an error, as Toyota requires the monument sign to remain in order to
sell Toyota cars on the premises. She asked they be allowed to have two signs on the
premises.
STAFF REPORT
Principal Planner Olson provided a summary the Special Use Permit approved in
October, 2016. He stated the approval included regulations for a digital sign and
required removal of the existing Toyota monument sign on the south side of the
entrance within seven days after the new digital sign was activated. He reported that
Ms. Bemis has provided a letter stating Toyota is requiring the existing monument sign
to remain. He added that the digital sign has not yet been constructed, and if
construction commences prior to City Council approval of this amendment, it will be at
the property owner’s risk.
Mr. Olson stated that City staff is in favor of recommending to the City Council approval
of the amendment to the Special Use Permit to allow the existing monument sign to
remain after the new digital sign is activated.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
At 8:09 PM, Chair Atherton opened the public meeting. Seeing and hearing no
comments, Chair Atherton closed the public meeting.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Chair Atherton asked Ms. Bemis if, besides the removal of the existing monument sign,
the other conditions of the ordinance approving the Special Use Permit are acceptable.
Ms. Bemis agreed and added that the sign contractor will meet all of the other
conditions for the digital sign construction.
Commissioner Castro expressed for the record he was disappointed this amendment to
the Special Use Permit has become necessary since the condition to remove the
existing monument sign was discussed and agreed upon by the Commission and the
City Council. He stated he understood the petitioner’s request for the amendment is
made in good faith and this condition was initially overlooked by the petitioner. Ms.
Bemis stated they did not intend to overlook the signage condition and apologized for
the error.
Planning and Zoning Commission
February 22, 2017
Page 14 of 15
Commissioner Nier stated that while she objects to multiple signs in such a prominent
location, she understood franchise requirements must also be met. She voiced support
for recommending approval of the amendment.
Commissioner Buckley asked where the two signs will be located. Ms. Bemis
responded that one sign will be on each side of the entrance drive. She added she
recently became aware Toyota does not allow its logo on a shared sign when Toyota
sought a permit to reface the sign to remove the Scion brand.
V. Buckley asked what purpose the new sign serves. Ms. Bemis responded that the
new digital sign will be used primarily to display community information.
Commissioner Barbe commented that too many signs make communities look similar,
but she understood that the franchise agreement under which the business operates
prevents the petitioner from removing the existing sign.
Planner Olson stated for the record that three citizen response forms in support of
recommending approval of the amendment were received.
Commissioner Crull asked for clarification of the language at the end of the sample
motion that states the findings of fact are “signed and submitted” by the Chair of the
Commission. Chair Atherton explained that findings of fact are technically signed and
submitted after a Commission meeting. Director Charlton added that the language
refers to the Commission’s recommendation to the City Council approval of the prior
Special Use Permit last fall.
Ms. Charlton reported that City staff is still determining if it is better to incorporate the
findings of fact in the sample motion for the Commission and/or the proposed ordinance
for the City Council. Chair Atherton voiced the preference for incorporating the findings
of fact in the sample motion by reference an exhibit that lists them.
M. Crull asked if reading aloud the entire findings of fact is a required when making a
motion to recommend approval or if they may be referred to by their paragraph letters.
Planner Olson responded that referring to the findings of fact by their paragraph letters
is sufficient.
Chair Atherton clarified that Commissioner Crull’s question addresses the old sample
motion for the initial recommendation to approve of the Special Use Permit. The new
sample motion should be used to recommend approval of the proposed amendment to
the Special Use Permit.
MOTION
J. Wright stated that, based upon the submitted letter dated January 19, 2017 from the
petitioner and testimony presented, he moves that the Planning and Zoning
Commission forward its findings of fact and recommend to the City Council approval of
Planning and Zoning Commission

following regular meeting on March 15th will include a public hearing on the Sanitary District. D.
Castro and K. Barbe announced they not sure they could attend the March 15th meeting, and
they would notify Planner Olson when they will know for certain.
Chair Atherton thanked the Commission for attending these long meetings and the members of
the audience members for participating at the meetings.

II. APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District (formerly the DeKalb Sanitary District)
is proposing improvements to upgrade and modernize their existing treatment
facility along Hollister Avenue. The District has acquired several properties along
Hollister Ave in the past years, which will allow for the placement of the new
treatment facilities and new adminstration building. In order for the District to
complete the project, they have submitted petitions to re-zone the subject property
from the “SFR2” Single-Family Residential District to the “PD-R” Planned
Development - Residential District and approval of Planned Development plans
and a final plat. In addition, an Ordinance that approved a multi-family project on
part of the site in will need to be amended to allow for the facility expansion.

III. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District currently operates a wastewater treatment
facility on 34 acres at 303 Hollister Avenue. The facility was established in 1928 and serves
an area that includes the City of DeKalb, Northern Illinois University, and surrounding
properties within unincorporated DeKalb County. Over the years, the facility was expanded
and upgraded as the community grew and regulatory requirements changed. The District’s
discharge to the South Branch of the Kishwaukee River is regulated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) through a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit that is applied for and renewed on a five-year cycle. Discharge
requirements have become more stringent as the environmental impact of pollutants is
better understood and treatment technology is advanced. The District has been advised
by the EPA that its renewed permit will contain new and more stringent discharge limits.
Due to the age and limitations of the facility’s existing treatment equipment, the new
discharge requirements will be unattainable and the District will be in violation of its permit.
The new discharge limits have been expected, and the District has been planning to
upgrade and modernize its wastewater treatment facility for many years.
Roughly 17 acres of property contiguous to 303 Hollister Avenue has been purchased over
the past five years which will provide the District space to construct new biological
treatment infrastructure and allow for future expansion of treatment capacity to meet the
needs of the community. The project is estimated at $55 million and includes construction
of biological treatment processes, a new administration building with frontage on
Sycamore Road, and a realignment of the Hollister Avenue/Sycamore Road intersection.
The project will also include the vacation of the Hollister Avenue public right-of-way and
dedication of public utility easements. The new facility is being planned to be readily
expandable to serve the community’s long-term wastewater needs within the proposed
site. The new system will substantially remove more pollutants from the effluent that goes
into the Kishwaukee River and produce cleaner water. The project is the 2nd phase of a
plan that will enable the District to maintain regulatory compliance with more stringent
water quality standards. The District plans to start the upgrade and modernization work in
2017 with completion in 2020.
The District is pursuing zoning authority for their entire plant site to allow for the rezoning
and subdivision of its existing Hollister Avenue property and nineteen additional properties
along Hollister that were purchased by the District. The vast majority of the site is currently
zoned SFR-2 Single-Family Residential including the existing treatment facility and the
single-family homes along Hollister Ave. There are about 8.5 acres of PD-R zoning on the
north end of the subject site that is part of the Parkside Oaks townhome project approved
in 2006, but never constructed. The applicant is requesting re-zoning of the entire property
to the PD-R Planned Development – Residential District.
Page 3 of 14
Comprehensive Plan
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates four different land use categories for the subject
site, all reflecting the existing land uses. The “Transportation and Utilities” category covers
the existing Sanitary District treatment facilities and adjoining land. The single-family
homes along Hollister Ave. that will be demolished are indicated in the “Low Density
Single-Family Residential” category and the 8.5 acre area at the northeast part of the site
zoned PD-R is categorized as “High Density Residential”. There is a small area of “Parks
and Recreation” classification at the far north part of the site and along the Kishwaukee
River. The Comprehensive Plan will need to be amended so the future land uses match
the proposed land uses. We would recommend the area on the Comprehensive Plan
covering the subject site be categorized under the “Transportation and Utilities” land use
classification.
Site Layout
This project will involve the construction of four new buildings as follows:
• Operations Building: Basement 2,172 SF, First Floor 3,014 SF
• RAW Pumping Station: Basement 1,347 SF, First Floor 590 SF
• Electrical Building: First Floor 2,317 SF
• Admin/Lab Building: 9,700 SF
Access
Hollister Ave. will be re-located with its intersection with Sycamore Road so it better aligns
with N. 13th St. New traffic signals will be constructed and the crosswalks improved. The
District has submitted the plans to I.D.O.T and have received preliminary approval.
Hollister Ave. will be re-located through the site and will be gated just to the west of the
Admin/Lab Building.
Parking Information
The Admin/Lab Building is divided into two areas; the public and administrative area at
4,800 SF and the operations area at 4,900 SF. There is a 20 space parking area to the
southwest of the Admin/Lab Building that will be the administration and public parking
area. To the west of the Admin/Lab Building is a 14 space lot that will be for the operations
staff and not accessible by the public. The UDO does not have a specific parking formula
for sanitary sewage treatment facilities, however the formula of one space per employee
on the maximum shift plus one space for each vehicle customarily used in the operation
would be appropriate. The District has indicated there are six employees on the maximum
shift on the administrative side of the building and 11 employees on the operations side
for a total of 17 required spaces. In addition, there are parking areas adjacent to the RAS
Pumping Station, Operations Building and Electrical Building for District vehicles.
Page 4 of 14
Landscaping/Screening
This plan provides space for landscape buffers along the perimeter of the facility to ensure
that neighboring property owners are not negatively impacted. The District has worked
closely with its neighbors over the past several years to ensure they are aware of the
project and that their concerns are addressed. A significant number of evergreen trees
have been relocated from the residential sites that will be demolished to areas along the
northeast boundary, near the Parkside Drive Apartment complex, and on the north side of
the single family homes along Krpan Court.
Odor Management
The District has submitted documentation regarding proposed odor control measures for
the facility. The District notes they have not experienced odor related issues or complaints,
however they are sensitive to the placement of settling tanks in proximity to neighboring
properties and the Sycamore Road corridor. The new primary clarifiers (settling tanks) are
considered to be the most odorous and will be located at the far east end of the project,
which is required in order to take advantage of the higher elevation. The District has
indicated that it has several tools at its disposal if odor issues arise and include: chemical
odor control, physical odor control (tank covers) and biological odor mitigation. The tanks
are being constructed so they could accommodate covers.
The Development Agreement includes specific procedures for measuring and responding
to odor complaints. The District will be expected to adhere to those requirements.
Discussions with Park District on Use of Excavated Material for Sled Hill.
The Park District maintains a significant amount of property along the Sanitary District’s
northern boundary. The area is mostly currently improved with ball fields. An area
northeast of the ball field is currently vacant and owned by the Sanitary District. This area
was previously approved for a planned development that never occurred. It is in this area
that the Sanitary District and the Park District have been discussing transferring ownership
to the Park District, and the Park District applying for a separate grading permit that would
essentially accept excavated materials from the Sanitary District’s construction site to
create a new sledding hill on that property. These discussions are only recently gaining
momentum. The acquisition and improvement of this property by the Park District would
be immediately adjacent to and accessible from their existing park facility, which surrounds
the site on the west, north and east sides.
In order to facilitate this transaction, staff recommended separating that property into what
is shown on the plat as Lot 3, and including deed restrictions indicating it can only be
owned and utilized by the Sanitary District or the Park District given that it does not have
its own access to a roadway. Use of this lot for any other purpose would require an
amendment to the development agreement.
Page 5 of 14
Plat of Resubdivision
The currently proposed plat of subdivision consolidates the multiple lots into 3 lots. The
main lot is designated to house all Sanitary District Facilities. The second lot is a lot being
created around the existing house that is located between the southern access to the
Sanitary District site and Krpan Court. The District has not yet provided the requested plat
of survey showing the principal and accessory buildings on this residentially used lot.
Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether the structures are compliant with zoning.
Staff therefore recommends conditions that the lot be designated as non-conforming,
subject to the limitations of the UDO that regulate modification and change. Staff further
recommends the agreement restrict use of the lot to a single family residential use with no
more than one dwelling unit. Any change in use would require modification to the
development agreement.
The Required Changes and Conditions of Approval in Section VII includes required
modifications to the Plat of Subdivision that must be completed, submitted and approved
by City staff prior to forwarding this petition to the City Council for consideration. The
Planning and Zoning Commission’s sample motion includes this requirement.
IV. STANDARDS OF REZONING
1. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, or conditions
have changed to warrant the need for different types of land uses in that area. The
proposed rezoning is appropriate considering the length of time the property has
been vacant, as originally zoned, and taking into account the surrounding areas
trend in development.
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan recommends the subject site for four different land use
categories reflecting the existing land uses. Staff believes that the proposed development
meets the intent of the City’s Comprehensive Plan in providing efficient urban services.
The project is necessary in order to meet provide the District space to construct new
biological treatment infrastructure and allow for future expansion of treatment capacity to
meet the needs of the community.
2. The proposed rezoning conforms to the intent and purpose of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
The proposed use and zoning of Planned Development – Residential will comply with the
regulations of the UDO. Regulations are recommended and a Development Agreement
will be prepared that control zoning, development and maintenance, operations and other
property improvement related issues.
3. The proposed rezoning will not have a significantly detrimental effect on the
long-range development of adjacent properties or adjacent land uses.
Page 6 of 14
The vast majority of the surrounding area is already developed. The proposed
improvements are consistent with the Sanitary District’s goal of balancing its regulatory
obligations while remaining mindful of neighboring property owners. Regulations are
recommended that will control zoning, development and maintenance, operations and
other property improvement related issues.
4. The proposed rezoning constitutes an expansion of an existing zoning
district that, due to the lack of undeveloped land, can no longer meet the demand
for the intended land uses.
The subject property is currently zoned “SFR2” Single-Family Residential District.
Rezoning the property to “PD-R” Planned Development – Residential will allow the
District area to construct new biological treatment infrastructure and allow for future
expansion of treatment capacity to meet the needs of the community and meet the
regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency.
5. Adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided.
Adequate public services are already provided to the subject property. The proposed
expansion involves a public utility and all required services will be provided. Hollister Ave.
will be re-located to better serve the planned expansion and the roads intersection with
Sycamore Road will be re-aligned to provide better safety.
V. STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
General Standards: The approval of the Development Plan may provide for such
exceptions from the regulations associated with traditional zoning districts as may be
necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development.
However, such exceptions shall consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the
standards contained in this Section and have been specifically requested in the
application for a planned development; and further, that no planned development shall be
allowed which would result in:
a. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development;
Hollister Ave. will be re-located with its intersection with Sycamore Road so it better aligns
with N. 13th St. New traffic signals will be constructed and the crosswalks improved.
Hollister Ave. will be re-located through the site and will be gated just to the west of the
Admin/Lab Building.
b. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major street
network in the vicinity;
Traffic along Hollister Ave. will be drastically reduced with the demolition of about 20
homes along the road in conjunction with the project. The District has submitted the plans
Page 7 of 14
to I.D.O.T and have received preliminary approval for the re-location of Hollister Ave. with
Sycamore Road.
c. An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police
protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the
planned development;
The proposed facility is an existing utility company serving the City and will not have any
undue impact on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection and
other public facilities.
d. A development which will be incompatible with the intent and purposes of this
Ordinance;
The applicant is requesting Planned Development Zoning, which allow the City to approve
regulations that will control the zoning, development and maintenance, operations and
other property improvement related issues.
e. Detrimental impact on surrounding area including, but not limited to, visual
pollution;
The proposed Planned Development will allow the District area to construct new biological
treatment infrastructure and allow for future expansion of treatment capacity to meet the
needs of the community and meet the regulations of the Environmental Protection
Agency. As part of the Planned Development, development controls will be implemented
and landscape areas will be enhanced to provide additional visual buffers.
VI. APPROVED PLANS
The documents enumerated in Exhibit 1, including revision dates, will be identified in the
development agreement as part of the “Approved Plans.” These will be the controlling
documents. Significant changes on later permit or construction documents not shown in
the approved plans regulated by the development agreement require written approval of
the Director of Community Development, who may require further review and approval of
the City Council.
VII. REQUIRED CHANGES AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Plat of Subdivision.
A. Pursuant to earlier comments provided by the City, the following additional
modifications must be provided before the case is forwarded to the City
Council for consideration:
i. Page 2 says Sycamore Road previously recorded, however some
legal descriptions in the title indicate ownership to the middle of the
Page 8 of 14
right-of-way. Undedicated right-of-way shall be shown on Page 1 as
“Hereby Dedicated.” If all right-of-way for Route 23 has been
previously dedicated to IDOT, the plat shall indicate the recorded
document numbers that provided for the dedication.
ii. Public utility easements should be removed from the plat for utilities
to be installed (water and overhead wires). They must be designated
and submitted to the City for approval after installation. Watermain
easements will be required to be shown as a City of DeKalb
easement instead of public utility easements. Other utility
easements will be required to be specific to their purpose (ie.
ComEd)
iii. Is there a reason Parcels 20, 24, and 25 are excluded?
B. City of DeKalb Easements for public watermains will be required to be
provided separately after the new mains are installed. Public utility
easements specific to utilities installed will also be required once they are
installed.
C. A restrictive covenant must be added to Lot 3 stipulating the lot may only
be utilized by the Sanitary District or the Park District unless an amendment
to the Development Agreement is received.
2. As previously requested, complete lighting details have been difficult to review
because a separate lighting plan was not submitted. The most recent response
letter indicates that site lighting locations were shown on Sheets E-1, E-2 and E-
2A; that building mounted lights are shown on Sheets E-12, E-21, and E-22; and
that photometrics were provided for the intersection only. A revised Sheet E-1 was
not included in the most recent submittal. Also, photometrics need to be submitted
for all public areas (public side of fence), not just the intersection. The
Development Agreement will include a requirement that all site lighting is subject
to the written approval of the Director of Community Development.
3. Required Site Improvements to be provided that are not on the plans. These
requirements will be included in the development agreement.
A. A bike rack must be provided near the new administrative building, subject
to the review and approval of the Community Development Director.
B. One 2.5” caliper shade tree shall be added in each of the two landscape
islands at the entrance to the public parking lot.
4. Conditions of Approval
Page 9 of 14
A. The plans identified in Exhibit 1 of this staff report will be designated in the
development agreement as part of the “Approved Plans.” These will be the
controlling documents for development. Significant changes on later permit
or construction documents not shown in these Approved Plans regulated by
the development agreement require written approval of the Director of
Community Development, who may require further review and approval of
the City Council.
B. The proposed plat includes a triangular shaped section of IDOT right-of-way
near the existing Hollister entrance that extends into and over the proposed
public parking lot next to the new administration building. Construction
permits for the parking lot and administration building shall not be issued
until the District successfully completes a vacation of this right-of-way with
IDOT and submits a new plat of subdivision to the City which incorporates
the vacated property as part of Lot 1. According to correspondence the
engineer has had with IDOT, the process can take up to a year. Since the
construction of this building and parking lot is not expected to occur within
this calendar year, approvals are being granted to allow construction on the
sanitary facilities this year. A new plat of subdivision will have to be
submitted for review and approval by the PZC and City Council, however it
will be allowed without amendment to the Planned Development.
C. No construction permits will not be issued until all approval documents and
the plat of survey are fully signed, executed and recorded.
D. Construction of the Administration building and public parking lot may not
begin until the IDOT right-of-way near the existing Hollister entrance is
vacated and a new plat of subdivision incorporating this property into Lot 1
is submitted to and approved by the City pursuant to review by the PZC and
approval by the City Council.
E. Notwithstanding comments on Sheet G-2 of the Approved Plans, Lot 3 may
not be utilized to store excavated material unless and until plans are
submitted to and approved by the City for improvements associated with a
sled hill anticipated by the DeKalb Park District.
F. Due to the lack of survey data provided, the principal and accessory
structures on Lot 2 will be designated as Non-Conforming and subject to
the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance.
G. Lot 2 shall be permitted only for a single family use, and no more than one
dwelling unit shall be permitted on the lot.
H. All improvements marked as “future” in the Approved Plans shown for
informational purposes only, and that future construction is subject to
modification of the Development Agreement and/or separate permitting as
determined by the Director of Community Development.
I. The ornamental fence shall be approved in writing by the Director of
Community Development prior to installation.
Page 10 of 14
J. All grass areas between District fences and adjoining private fences must
be mowed and maintained by the District.
K. Other than the monument sign shown in the Approved Plans, no other
permanent signs shall be permitted without amendment to the agreement.
Non-permanent signs shall be subject to review and approval pursuant to
Unified Development Ordinance requirements.
L. Building materials and colors shall be approved in writing by the Director of
Community Development only if in substantial compliance with the colored
elevations shown on the sheet entitled “Lab Admin Building Exterior
Elevations” “drawing date dated” 3/20/17.
M. Sanitary District must remove all Ash trees from the property.
N. Sanitary District must annually replace any perimeter landscape material
that is dead or shows significant signs of distress. For purposes of this
replacement, the District shall replace evergreen and ornamental trees with
materials not less than 10’ in height, deciduous shade trees with materials
not less than 2.5” caliper trunks, and shrubs not less than 24” in height all
at time of installation.
O. The District shall replace any sanitary improvements that are removed
along the Kishwaukee River path with a solid evergreen landscape screen
not less than 10’ in height.
P. The District must adhere to Development Agreement requirements with
regard to measuring and abating odor complaints.
Q. No additional construction of any future improvements are allowed in the
“Channel Easement” identified in the Approved Plans. Additionally, if any
structures in the Channel Easement are removed in the future, the area
shall be sodded and planted with a continuous row of 10’ tall evergreen
trees.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, City staff has been working with the
Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District to provide flexibility in the approval process while
still protecting the interests of neighboring properties. Many of the submitted documents
were sent out for bid prior to approvals being finalized by the City. This has resulted in
the Sanitary District’s desire to minimize changes to the planning documents to the
greatest extent possible to avoid costly “change orders”. Instead, these requirements are
being regulated in the Development Agreement, or with the unusually long list of Required
Changes and Conditions of Approval as outlined above in Section VII. Construction
activities will be co-monitored by both District and City consultants at the expense of the
District in accordance with all approved plans and documents.
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the
sample motion provided on the next page.

Re: DeKalb Sanitary District – Phase 1B Biological Improvements
Rezoning Application
Dear Mr. Olson:
The DeKalb Sanitary District’s wastewater treatment facility at 303 Hollister Avenue is aging
and unable to meet upcoming wastewater discharge regulations from the IEPA. The District
explored options for locating the necessary improvements within the current site but there is not
enough area to cost effectively allow for the construction of the necessary work and still provide
wastewater treatment.
Over the past five years, the District has procured 21 properties adjacent to our current facility,
encompassing approximately 17 acres. A list of these properties and their respective Legal
Descriptions is provided in the attached documentations. To accommodate the District’s
necessary improvements, the District is requesting a rezoning of these properties to a Planned
Use Development – Residential (PD-R).
a) Conformance with City’s Comprehensive Plan
The DeKalb Sanitary District is unaware of any non-conformance with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
b) Impact on Adjacent Existing and Future Land Uses
The proposed improvement should have no impact on adjacent land use.
c) Impact on Adjacent Property Values
The only properties which would have a change in boundary would the Parkside Oaks
apartments at 1329 Sycamore Rd, Wendy’s at 1325 Sycamore Rd, Bank/Office Building at 1321
Sycamore Rd. and the properties on the north side of Krpan Ct. For each of these a robust
landscape screening and privacy fence is proposed, in addition to existing fencing and
landscaping, to ensure minimal view and impact on property value.
DEKALB SANITARY DISTRICT Page 2 of 2
d) Impact on General Public’s Health, Safety, and Welfare
The relocation of the District’s Administration Building to the Sycamore Rd. entrance, rather
than the current location at the center of the wastewater treatment plant, is a substantial
improvement to public safety as is the elimination of a residential neighborhood at the entrance
to a wastewater treatment plant. Similarly, the intent of the improvements is to improve the
water quality of the Kishwaukee River, which is a substantial public health and environmental
benefit.
Sincerely,
DeKalb Sanitary District

Re: DeKalb Sanitary District – Phase 1B Biological Improvements
Planned Development Application – Project Report
Dear Mr. Olson:
The DeKalb Sanitary District (District) is pleased to share its plans for our upcoming project
designed to modernize our treatment plant to produce cleaner water and assure that our
community will be positioned to accept new residents and businesses alike. The District is
pursuing zoning authority for our entire plant site from the City of DeKalb to allow for the
subdivision and rezoning of its existing 303 Hollister Avenue property and nineteen additional
properties along Hollister Avenue that were recently procured by the District. This project is
actually the 2nd phase of our project which will enable the District to maintain regulatory
compliance with more stringent water quality standards. The project is estimated at $55 Million
and includes construction of biological treatment processes, a new administration building with
frontage on Sycamore Road, and a realignment of the Hollister Avenue/Sycamore Road
intersection. These improvements are consistent with the District’s goal of balancing its
regulatory obligations while remaining mindful of neighboring property owners. The project
will also include the vacation of the Hollister Avenue public right-of-way and dedication of
public utility easements. The new facility is laid to be readily expandable to serve the
community’s long-term wastewater needs within the proposed site.
Project Background
The District currently operates a wastewater treatment facility on 34 acres at 303 Hollister
Avenue in DeKalb. This facility was established in 1928 and serves an area that includes the
City of DeKalb, Northern Illinois University, and surrounding properties within unincorporated
DeKalb County. Over the years, this facility was expanded and upgraded as the community
grew and regulatory requirements changed. The District’s discharge to the South Branch of the
Kishwaukee River is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit that is applied for and
renewed on a five-year cycle. Discharge requirements become more stringent as the
environmental impact of pollutants is better understood and treatment technology is advanced.
The District has been advised by the EPA that its renewed permit will contain new and more
stringent discharge limits, particularly as it relates to Ammonia, Phosphorus, and wet weather
DEKALB SANITARY DISTRICT Page 2 of 4
treatment. Due to the age and limitations of the facility’s existing treatment equipment, the new
discharge requirements will be unattainable and the District will be in violation of its permit.
Permit violations are dealt with harshly and can cause a Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTW) to be placed on Critical Review or Restricted Status which could prohibit the extension
of sanitary service to any new developing property.
The new discharge limits have been expected, and the District has been planning to upgrade and
modernize its wastewater treatment facility for many years. As mentioned above, roughly 17
acres of property contiguous to 303 Hollister Avenue has been procured over the past five years
which will provide the District with space to construct new biological treatment infrastructure
and allow for future expansion of treatment capacity to meet this community’s needs as it grows.
This plan also provides significant space for robust landscape buffers along the perimeter of the
facility to ensure that neighboring property owners are not negatively impacted. The District has
worked closely with its neighbors over the past several years to ensure they are aware of the
project and that their concerns are addressed.
Project Scope
The proposed Phase 1B Improvements project consists of modifying existing piping to pump to
new biological processes and flow in excess of the daily maximum flow to the excess flow
facilities; providing new circular primary clarifiers and new primary sludge pumping facilities,
providing a new activated sludge process to meet anticipated ammonia and phosphorus limits;
new circular final clarifiers; a new return activated sludge / waste activated sludge pump station,
conversion of 3 existing primary settling tanks to excess flow clarifiers, a new building to house
aeration system blowers and primary/fermenter sludge pumps; new sidestream equalization of
thickening filtrate and dewatering centrate; new primary sludge fermentation facilities;
upgrading of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system; extension of the existing
non-potable water system to the new system; a new building to house electrical switchgear,
automatic transfer switch and dual fuel (natural gas and biogas) generator; a new building to
house the laboratory, locker rooms, conference/break room, mechanical room, network room,
GIS/printer room, administrative offices, reception area and board room.
Proposed Building Information
This project will involve the construction of four new buildings. The locations of these building
are identified on the project plans along with the distances between the buildings and structures.
The floor area of each building is as follows:
- Operations Building: Basement 2,172 SF, First Floor 3,014 SF
- RAW Pumping Station: Basement 1,347 SF, First Floor 590 SF
- Electrical Building: First Floor 2,317 SF
- Admin/Lab Building: 9,700 SF
Parking Information
The Admin/Lab Building is split into two halves; the Public and Administrative Area (4,800 SF)
and the Operations Area (4,900 SF). Parking areas are being proposed for the Admin/Lab
Building, the details of which are as follows:
DEKALB SANITARY DISTRICT Page 3 of 4
Public & Administrative Staff Parking Lot
- Standard Spaces: 19
- Handicap Accessible: 1
Operational Staff Parking Lot
- Standard Spaces: 13
- Handicap Accessible: 1
Chapter 23 of the Unified Development Ordinance 12.07 - 2. References the Illinois
Administrative Code which requires 2 Accessible Spaces when 25 -50 standard spaces are
provided.
Chapter 23 Unified Development Ordinance 12.08.01 – Office & Office Building requires 1
space per 300 SF = 16 spaces required for the 4,800 Admin portion.
Chapter 23 Unified Development Ordinance 12.07 – 1.a. requires 1 space for each employee of
the Largest Shift. For the District this would be for 12 employees = 12 spaces required.
Chapter 23 Unified Development Ordinance 12.08.01 – Research Facilities and Laboratories
require 1 space per 600 SF = 9 spaces required.
Therefore the currently proposed parking areas meet or exceed all parking requirements of the
City’s Unified Development Ordinance.
Landscaping
Site landscaping, berms and drainage are identified on the site civil drawings. The District’s
goal is to provide robust screening to ensure the impacts of the proposed improvements on
surrounding properties are minimized. The concept for the landscaping plan is to provide a
variety of trees around the site perimeter with a fence behind them. The District recently planted
43 trees along the northwest property line and 10 more along the south/Krpan Ct. property
boundary in an effort to establish growth on these trees before the project starts. Although the
improvements will require the removal of numerous trees, we only plan on removing those trees
which are necessary to allow construction to occur. This will allow many mature healthy trees to
remain. Additionally, this past fall the District used a tree spade to replant approximately 20
small diameter trees and bushes from the yards of the purchased Hollister Avenue properties to
the District existing and proposed site perimeter and it is our intention to continue with this work
in the Spring. An inventory of tree removal and planting is identified below:

Project Schedule
The District is on schedule to begin the upgrade and modernization of our existing wastewater
treatment facility in 2017. A detailed schedule is below:
Out to Bid January 29, 2017

It is a very interesting time in the wastewater treatment industry as sewer plants are being
converted into "utilities of the future." It sounds bizarre to most, but sewage has become a
resource that can be utilized to produce a significant amount of energy. The plans to modernize
our facility include the addition of equipment that will enable the District to make a quantum
leap toward fiscal and environmental stability. The District's goal is to become completely
energy independent within a decade, and we look forward to working cooperatively with the City
of DeKalb to accomplish this goal.
Sincerely,
DeKalb Sanitary District

RE: Phase 1B Biological Improvements – Noise
This memo outlines considerations for appropriate noise control measures taken by the DeKalb
Sanitary District (District) in association with the proposed Phase 1B Biological Improvements.
Noise
Equipment that will be located outside as part of the project include mixer and clarifier motors.
The decibel rating for the mixers and clarifier motors is less than 70 db three feet from the motor.
This would place the decibel level for these motors somewhere between conversational speech
and an average radio.
The noisiest equipment that will be installed are the aeration tank blowers. These will be located
inside a building and within sound enclosures to mitigate noise. In comparison to our existing
blowers, the new blowers will be substantially quieter (75 decibels vs. 90 decibels). Based on
this information, there will be no change to the noise levels for adjacent properties.

FROM: Mark Eddington, P.E.
RE: Phase 1B Biological Improvements – Odor Control
This memo outlines considerations for appropriate odor control measures taken by the DeKalb
Sanitary District (District) in association with the proposed Phase 1B Biological Improvements.
Historically, the District’s Wastewater Treatment Facility located on Hollister Avenue has not
experienced odor related issues or complaints. Regardless, the District is sensitive to siting
tankage adjacent to neighboring properties and the Sycamore Road corridor.
Background
Construction of new primary clarifiers (settling tanks) is necessary as part of the Phase 1B
Improvements. Of the new tanks being constructed, these would be considered the most
odorous. Due to where these tanks fall in the process, they need to be located at the highest
elevation to allow for flow through the downstream processes to occur via gravity, rather than
constructing additional infrastructure and utilizing additional power through pumping. The
elevation of the District’s property is highest to the east and consistently falls as it nears the
Kishwaukee River. Therefore, the proposed primary clarifiers have been located at the
easternmost side of the improvements.
With this in mind, one of the District’s primary concerns is to ensure that odor will not impact
any neighboring properties. The proposed primary clarifiers will be located about 100’ west of
the shared property line with the Parkside Apartments. This places the tanks roughly 180’ from
the apartment building. Understanding its goal, the District moved forward with odor testing in
August to gather baseline data. The plan was to test the odors on and adjacent to the existing
primary clarifiers as there will be no change to waste characteristics upstream from the new
primary clarifiers. Once the levels were determined, the District would move forward in
evaluating the appropriate odor control measures to include in its facility upgrades.
DEKALB SANITARY DISTRICT Page 2 of 3
Testing Procedure
Odor testing occurred August 8th through18th, 2016. District staff utilized a Sensidyne hand-
pump with colormetric tubes to test for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Ammonia, Mercaptans, and
Methyl Mercaptans (the typical odor producing components found in wastewater). The sample
locations and results are shown in Appendix A. This investigation showed small detectible
levels of H2S and Mercaptans on the primary clarifier weir but no detectible levels of Ammonia
or Methyl Mercaptans. At 20’ down wind of the clarifier H2S and Mercaptans were no longer
detectible
Future Considerations
The District understands that wastewater characteristics can change over time. This would likely
occur due to changes in industrial waste flow. Typically, this issue would be addressed through
the District’s pretreatment program and mitigated (by the industry) at the source before it is
introduced to the District’s sewer system. Regardless, the District has several tools (at varying
levels of sophistication) at its disposal to handle odor if it becomes necessary. In a scenario
where nuisance odors impact neighboring properties, the following odor control would be
employed.
Chemical Odor Control
As a first-measure towards mitigating odors, the District would utilize chemical treatment. This
type of odor control is readily available and can be employed immediately. Upon determining
whether odors are acute or chronic in nature, the District would evaluate the long-term viability
of chemical odor control versus a physical or biological remedy.
Physical Odor Control
If the chemical odor control proves to be chronic and costly, the District could construct physical
covers over the primary clarifier weirs. The proposed primary clarifiers have been designed to
readily allow the installation of weir covers. The capital cost of weir covers is estimated to be
$250K.
Biological Odor Mitigation
Biological odor control would work in conjunction with physical odor control. The air
“captured” beneath the weir covers would be conveyed to a bio-filter that would remove odor.
The capital cost of the bio-filters is estimated to be an additional $150K with annual media
replacement costs and additional maintenance costs.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
March 24, 2017
TO: DeKalb Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Jo Ellen Charlton, Community Development Director
Dan Olson, Principal Planner
RE: Special Use Permit for a Gas Station and Variance to the lighting standards - 1020
N. 1st St. (Mobile)
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Purpose Approval of a Special Use Permit for a gasoline
station and approval of a variation to the lighting
standards in Article 10.05.01 (2) of the Unified
Development Ordinance to increase the average
ground level foot-candle levels, and other
approvals as required to accommodate the
proposed use
B. Location/Size 1020 N. 1st St. (SE corner of Hillcrest Drive and
N.1st St.)/.38 acres
C. Petitioner Kelley Williamson Company
D. Existing Zoning “GC” General Commercial District
E. Existing Land Use Vacant
F. Proposed Land Use Gas Station
G. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use North: GC - General Commercial; Gas Station
South: LC - Light Commercial; commercial use
East: GC; Various commercial uses
West: LC; Various commercial uses
H. Comprehensive Plan Designation Commercial
II. APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Kelley Williamson Company, requests the approval of a special use permit for a
new unattended gasoline station and approval of a variation to the lighting standards in the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) for the property located at 1020 N. 1st St. (SE corner of N. 1st St.
and Hillcrest Dr.).
Page 2 of 9
III. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The applicant would like to develop a new unattended self-service gas station at the SE corner of
N. 1st. St. and Hillcrest Dr. The site has been vacant for at least 18 years and once contained a gas
station. The site improvements include four fuel islands with a total of 10 fuel pumps. There will
be a small utility building on-site that will serve as on office for an employee managing the station
and the necessary equipment to operate the facility. There will not be convenience store as part of
the project.
Site Layout/Access
There are currently two full access points from both Hillcrest Dr. and N. 1st St. The plan shows the
removal of the access points closest to the intersection and retaining the full access points furthest
away from the intersection. The gas station canopy will run north and south in the middle of the
site with the small utility building, parking spaces and trash enclosure along the east side of the
property.
The applicant provided truck turning templates on the plan to show the access for fuel trucks
making deliveries to the site. Trucks will not be able to come from the south along N. 1st. St. as
there are weight limits for the bridge across the Kishwaukee River. Trucks will enter along N. 1st
St., coming from the north, and exit onto Hillcrest Dr. The underground tanks are located at the
northeast portion of the site. Trucks would temporarily block one of the parking spaces when
unloading fuel, however the space is for the one employee.
Building and Canopy Elevations
The utility/office building will be brown face brick and will house the equipment necessary for the
operation of the premises. The canopy will include poles that are covered in brick that will match
the building. The trash dumpster will be screened with material matching the building. We are
recommending that the brick on the canopy piers be continued all the way to the top. They extend
about two-thirds the way up on the submitted plans.
Parking and Landscaping
There will be only one employee at the site and therefore there is only one standard parking space
and one handicap space. Landscaping is provided around the perimeter of the site. Due to the
small site there is limited area to install the required berming along Hillcrest Dr. and N .1st St. In
lieu of the berming, there are additional shrubs/groundcover proposed along the roadways and the
applicant will be sodding the lawn area instead of seeding.
Page 3 of 9
Signs
The applicant is proposing one ground sign that will be located near the intersection and will be
50 sq. ft. in area, about 7 feet in height and will have a brick base. The sign will also include a
panel for Alpine Bank, which will have an ATM machine next to the utility building on the site.
The canopy elevations indicate three signs, however the plans will be revised to include only two
signs and will be reduced in size to meet the requirements of the UDO.
IV. STANDARDS OF A SPECIAL USE
1. The proposed special use complies with all provisions of the applicable district
regulations.
The proposed special use will re-establish a use that was previously located on the site. The
property is zoned ‘GC” General Commercial District and the proposed special use meets the
requirements of the UDO, except for the lighting standards of Article 10.
2. The proposed special use will not be unreasonably detrimental to the value of other
property in the neighborhood in which it is to be located or to the public welfare at large.
The proposed special use should not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land
uses as it entitles the subject property to a commercial use that is complementary with existing and
adjacent uses. The site did contain a gas station several years age and no evidence has been
presented that it was detrimental to the value of neighboring properties. In addition, there is an
existing gas station to the north of the subject site at the northeast corner of Hillcrest Dr. and N. 1st
St. and a former gas station at the northwest corner of the intersection.
3. The location and size of the special use, the nature and intensity of the operation
involved in or conducted in connection with it, and the location of the site with respect to
streets giving access to it are such that the special use will not dominate the immediate
neighborhood so as to prevent development and use of neighboring property in accordance
with the applicable zoning district regulations.
The proposed special use will not dominate the immediate area and will not prevent development
on the neighboring properties. Much of the surrounding areas is already developed with
commercial uses. The site plan submitted with the application indicates the removal of a full access
off of Hillcrest Dr. and one off of N. 1st St., which will allow for safer traffic movements. The site
is also in compliance with the City’s Unified Development Ordinance.
4. Adequate utility, drainage and other such necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
Adequate public services can be provided to this property. The developer is responsible for
Page 4 of 9
necessary utility improvements, which can be readily made. This property lies within adequate
service areas for other City services, such as police and fire protection. Per the regulations of the
UDO, on-site detention is not required due to the size of the property.
5. The proposed use, where such developments and uses are deemed consistent with
good planning practice, or can be operated in a manner that is not detrimental to the
permitted developments and uses in the district; can be developed and operated in a manner
that is visually compatible with the permitted uses in the surrounding area; shall in all other
respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located; and is
deemed essential or desirable to preserve and promote the public health, safety and general
welfare of the City of DeKalb.
There was former a gas station on the subject site and the proposed special use will be operated in
a manner that is compatible with the surrounding area. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates
the subject site should be developed for commercial purposes.
V. STANDARDS OF FINDING OF FACT FOR VARIATIONS
The applicant is requesting a variation to the lighting standards in Article 10.05.01 (2) of the
Unified Development Ordinance to increase the average ground level foot-candle level. The
petitioner’s variance application indicates the lighting will include efficient LED canopy lighting
with minimal glare and low impact on the surrounding area. The UDO allows an average ground
level foot candle maximum of 5 for commercial zoning districts. The Photometric Plan submitted
by the applicant indicates an average foot candle level of 14.08. The maximum foot candle level
under the canopy is 62.7. As a comparison, the recently approved Casey’s at Peace Road and
Lincoln Highway has an average foot candle level of 4.98 and a maximum level of 32 under their
canopy.
The applicant has indicated they will be revising the Photometric Plan to reduce the maximum foot
candle level to 35 under the canopy. The applicant could not provide the revised average foot
candle level at the time of this report, however they will provide it prior to the hearing.
The request has been reviewed using the criteria regarding variances stated in Article 18, Section
18.03.03 of the UDO, titled “Findings of Fact,” as follows:
1. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only
under the conditions allowed by the regulations of that district.
The proposed gas station will be locating on a site that previously contained the same use. The
subject property is only .38 acres and small for a gas station. The average foot candle level will
exceed the maximum in the UDO because there is little area for the light to be dispersed over the
property. The applicant’s photometric design reflects their best efforts to provide directed lighting
for the public’s safety and security and for those using the unattended self-service facility. The
Page 5 of 9
strict enforcement of the lighting regulations on this small lot will impede the redevelopment of
the property with a gas station.
2. The extraordinary or exceptional conditions of the property, requiring the request
for the variance, were not caused by the applicant.
The subject lot is only .38 acres and has existed for several years. There has been an increased
need to provide increased customer safety and security over the years for this type of use. The
existing conditions of the property and resulting variance request are not a result of the applicant,
rather due to the historical size of the site and the need to provide increase safety and security for
customers of the use.
3. The proposed variance will alleviate a peculiar, exceptional, or undue hardship, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience or pecuniary hardship.
The subject property is small at .38 acres and can only accommodate an unmanned gas station
facility. The previous gas station functioned in a manner that was not detrimental to the public
health and safety. Being required to comply with the UDO would prevent the applicant from
reusing the subject property since the site is small and the disbursement of the lighting levels is
restricted.
4. The denial of the proposed variance will deprive the applicant of the use of his/her
property in a manner equivalent to the use permitted to be made by the owners of property
in the immediate area.
There is an existing gas station to the north of the subject site at the northeast corner of the Hillcrest
Dr. and N. 1st St and a former gas station at the northwest corner of the same intersection. Denial
of the request will reduce the ability of the project to go forward and will jeopardize the security
and safety of customers and make the site no longer viable for the use it was original built for.
5. The proposed variance will result in a structure that is appropriate to and compatible
with the character and scale of structures in the area in which the variance is being
requested.
The proposed variance relates to lighting standards and will not affect the structure proposed for
the subject property.
VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff would recommend approval of the special use request, which will allow the development of
a site that has been vacant for over 18 years. The special use will be incompliance with the UDO
and will not be detrimental to the surrounding area.

Special Use Permit Petition
1020 N. 1st Street, DeKalb, IL 60115
Owner: Griffin-Williamson Company
Applicant: Kelley Williamson Company
ITEM 1E
Proposed Use and Description
The Petitioner, Kelley Williamson Company, is filing this Special Use Permit Petition for the property at
1020 N. 1st Street in DeKalb, Illinois in order to reestablish the historical use of this parcel as a gas station.
The title to the property is held by Griffin‐Williamson Company, an affiliated entity of the Petitioner. The
Petitioner’s affiliate acquired title to the property in 1994. It was acquired with the intention of
demolishing the several decade old facility and reestablishing a new gas station. The site had been a gas
station since the 1960’s. Part of the process involved site investigation and remediation in order to comply
with the regulations of the Office of State Fire Marshall and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
That work was completed recently.
Kelley Williamson Company was established in 1926 by local entrepreneurs Walter Williamson and his
partner, Nate Kelley. Although originally intended to sell gasoline and lubricants through small owner‐
operated service stations, Kelley Williamson has grown vastly over the past decades. Kelley Williamson
now owns and operates over 45 Kelley’s Market convenience stores throughout northern Illinois and
Southern and Dane County Wisconsin and provide fuel to numerous other independently owned
locations. Kelley Williamson’s closest locations, which it owns and operates, are in Cortland, Illinois and
Genoa, Illinois.
Kelley Williamson Oil and Lubricants division has worked hard to become the area’s largest supplier of
commercial, industrial and agricultural lubricants and fuels, representing the highest quality products
from ExxonMobil. Kelley Williamson is committed to delivering all of Kelley Williamson’s quality products
as conveniently and expeditiously as possible, as it is Kelley Williamson’s continuous goal to exceed its
customer’s expectations, today, tomorrow and always.
Petitioner plans and desires to construct a new self‐service gas station at the location in question. The
site improvements will be four fuel islands under a canopy supported by a center brick‐faced support
posts. In addition, there will be a small building at depicted on the site plan which will serve merely as an
office for Kelley Williamson employee managing the station and employee restroom. The small building
on the premises will be a brick‐faced building intentionally understated for a “low impact” effect on the
site. The building will house the equipment necessary for the operation of the premises. The station will
dispense gasoline and diesel fuel. The location will be managed by who will be supervised by the District
Manager who is a resident of DeKalb, Illinois. This gas station will be a Mobil branded, self‐service,
unmanned facility. This facility will be built with the latest technologies and systems required in
connection with a self‐service unmanned facility as required by state law.
1
The new canopy structure is designed to facilitate access of the tanker truck and any emergency vehicles
through the station. The canopy structure will have brick faced columns to match the building. Lighting
will be through efficient LED canopy lighting with minimal glare and low impact on the site without
impacting on the surrounding area.
Landscaping will be provided per the attached landscaping plan. The sign will be a low monument sign
located at the corner as shown on the site plan with a brick face base to match the canopy columns and
the brick facing on the small building. The sign design and sizes are shown on the enclosed signage
document.
It is the intent of Kelley Williamson to enhance the existing site with new vitality, esthetic quality and bring
a positive impact to the City of DeKalb.
The immediate surrounding area consists of commercial retail and office uses. The facility is served by
the existing well developed streets and a controlled intersection which allow safe and easy access in and
out of the facility without impairing activity in surrounding businesses. Currently there is an inactive gas
station/convenience store on the northwest corner of that same intersection and an active gas
station/convenience store on the northeast corner of the intersection of N. 1st Street and Hillcrest.
This gas station is intended to serve the area residential developments and the existing traffic passing
through the area and the intersection. The purposed use is consistent with the Unified Development
Ordinance which permits gas stations in the commercial zoning district which are subject to a special use
permit. The proposed development is also consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan for commercial
development at this site and this area. The new well developed site should generally enhance the value
of the surrounding property and certainly will not detract from the value of property adjacent or in the
area nor inhibit future land use or development. All surrounding properties are fully developed at this
time.
The proposed special use complies with all provisions of the applicable district regulations.
The proposed special use will not be unreasonable detrimental to the value of other property in the
neighborhood in which it is to be located or to the public welfare at large.
The location and size of the special use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved in or conducted
in connection with it, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that
the special use will not dominate the immediate property in accordance with the applicable zoning district
regulations.
Adequate utility, drainage and other such necessary facilities exist.
The proposed use, where such developments and uses are deemed consistent with good planning
practice, or can be operated in a manner that is not detrimental to the permitted developments and uses
in the district; can be developed and operated in a manner that is visually compatible with the permitted
uses in the surrounding area; shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district
in which it is located; and is desirable to preserve and promote the public health, safety and general
welfare of the City of DeKalb.
2
Petitioner respectfully requests for the Special Use Permit Petition in order to restore the facility to its
historical, highest and best use for the property consistent with surrounding development.
3
Request for Variance
1020 N. 1st Street, DeKalb, IL 60115
Owner: Griffin-Williamson Company
Applicant: Kelley Williamson Company
Requested Variance
The Petitioner, Kelley Williamson Company, is filing this Request for Variance in connection with its Special
Use Permit for a gas station for the property at 1020 N. 1st Street in DeKalb, Illinois in order to reestablish
the historical use of this parcel as a gas station. The Petitioner is seeking approval of a variation to the
lighting standards in Article 10.05.01 (2) of the Unified Development Ordinance to increase the average
ground level foot‐candle levels. A photometric study has been submitted with the Special Use Permit.
Petitioner plans and desires to construct a new unattended self‐service gas station at the location in
question. The site improvements will include four fuel islands under a canopy supported by a center brick‐
faced support posts. The site was a longstanding service station which was demolished to allow this
development which follows the completion of the site remediation with respect to the prior owners
operations.
Lighting will be through efficient directed LED canopy lighting with minimal glare and low impact on the
site without impacting on the surrounding area. The Photometric design reflects the petitioner’s best
efforts to provide directed lighting to provide for the public’s safety and security for those using the
unattended self‐service facility. The property is small (only 0.387 acres – or 16,881 Square feet) which
increases the average lumen values for the site. It is the intent of Kelley Williamson Company to enhance
the existing site with new vitality, esthetic quality and bring a positive impact to the City of DeKalb.
The immediate surrounding area consists of commercial retail and office uses. The facility is served by
the existing well developed streets and a controlled intersection which allow safe and easy access in and
out of the facility without impairing activity in surrounding businesses. Currently there is an inactive gas
station/convenience store on the northwest corner of that same intersection and an active gas
station/convenience store on the northeast corner of the intersection of N. 1st Street and Hillcrest. The
proposed lighting plan is superior to that of the existing gas stations.
This gas station is intended to serve the area residential developments and the existing traffic passing
through the area and the intersection. The purposed use is consistent with the Unified Development
Ordinance which permits gas stations in the commercial zoning district which are subject to a special use
permit. The proposed development is also consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan for commercial
development at this site and this area. The new well developed site should generally enhance the value
of the surrounding property and certainly will not detract from the value of property adjacent or in the
area nor inhibit future land use or development. All surrounding properties are fully developed at this
time.
The proposed special use and its lighting will not be unreasonable detrimental to the value of other
property in the neighborhood in which it is to be located or to the public welfare at large.
1
The location and size of the special use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved in or conducted
in connection with it, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that
the special use will not dominate the immediate property in accordance with the applicable zoning district
regulations.
The proposed use, is consistent with good planning practice, or can be operated in a manner that is not
detrimental to the permitted developments and uses in the district; can be developed and operated in a
manner that is visually compatible with the permitted uses in the surrounding area; otherwise in all other
respects conforms to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located; and is desirable to
preserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the City of DeKalb.

Re: Special Use Pennit Petition - 1020 N. 1st Street (Mobil Gas Station)
Dear Mr. Olson:
In response to your letter of December 6, 2016 and addressing your comments to the
Special Use Permit Petition filed with respect to the above property, I am providing thc
explanations and documents identified below with respect to and in response to each of the
numbered items in your letter of December 6s on behalf of my client, Kelley Williamson
Company, the Petitioner.
1. A current Alta/Plat of Survey of the subject property is required and must be
submitted to complete your application.
PETITIONER'S RESPONSE:
The ALTA-NSPS Land Title Survey of the propefty in question prepared by Arc
Design Resources Inc. is attached.
2. Architectural elevations should be provided for the proposed canopy and building
showing materials and colors. The supports for the canopy should be enclosed
with masonry materials.
PETITIONER'S RESPONSE:
The architectural elements of the proposed canopy showing the masonry finish on the
supports for the canopy are shown in the attached site rendering prepared by the
architects. Elevations ofthe building itself are attached.
3. The proposed access onto E. Hillcrest Dr. is directly adjacent to an existing drive
for the commercial property to the east. Consolidation of access points should be
considered due to their proximity. Has there been contact with the adjacent
property owner?
Mr. Dan Olson February22,2017
PETITIONER'S RESPONSE:
The point of access onto E. Hillcrest Dr. is an existing drive used for the property in
question for several decades. There is no cross access with the commercial property
to the east. There have been no conversations about such access with the adjacent
property owner. The mixing of intersecting traffic across the adjacent property owner
with the traffic coming into and out of the strip mall and entering into and backing out
of the strip mall parking presents additional safety concems. Any access directly to
the strip mall would of necessity be blocked when the tractor trailer is filling the
underground storage tanks at such an access point. Having the tractor trailer exit across
the adjoining property would create an unsafe crossing of traffic and moreover create
additional liabilities for the property owners. lngress and egress to the property can be
safely provided on lst Avenue and Hillcrest Drive which access drives have existed for
several decades.
4. There appears to have been an access on the far south side of the site that
connected to the property to the east. Is there a cross access easement agreement
in place?
PETITIONER'S RESPONSE:
There is no cross access easement agreement in place. The only easement is for the
maintenance of the service sewer line along the far south side of the commercial
property to the easterly connection point with the sanitary sewer main.
