PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (Open Floor to Anyone Wishing to Speak on Record) None E. NEW BUSINESS 1. Public Hearing (continued from July 27, 2019 meeting) – Petition by 1704 Sycamore LLC, represented by Daniel Damaschke, for a rezoning from the ‘GC” General Commercial District to the “PD-C” Planned Development Commercial District for a 1.61 acre site to allow for a video gaming establishment. The petition also requests allowance of a video gaming establishment to be located within 500 feet of another video gaming establishment and to allow a Planned Development on less than two acres. Planning and Zoning Commission August 7, 2019 Page 2 of 6 Principal Planner Olson advised Commission members the applicant had withdrawn its petition and no further action was required. 2. Public Hearing – Petition by PNG Development LLC, represented by John Pappas, requesting a rezoning from the “LI” Light Industrial District to the “PD-C” Planned Development Commercial District for an approximate 2.9 acre site located along the east side of North 4th Street between Oak Street and Locust Street, commonly known as the Mooney property. The applicant is requesting approval of the rezoning in order to allow for the development of 94 apartment units and approximately 12,000 square feet of commercial space in a 4-story building to be called Agora Tower. Waivers to the Unified Development Ordinance are requested for maximum site coverage, off-street parking and other approvals as required for the subject property to allow for the construction as proposed and indicated on the development plans. Mr. Jeff Lewis, attorney with Klein, Stoddard, Buck and Lewis in Sycamore, introduced himself to the Commission as the representative for PNG Development LLC. He added that Mr. John Pappas, the manager of PNG Development LLC, was present to address any additional questions by the Commission. Mr. Lewis provided background on the property formerly known as the Mooney property and they will be requesting PD-C Planned Development Commercial zoning. He noted the intent is to raze the existing structure, construct a new 4-story building at the corner of 4th Street and East Locust Street with residential units on the upper floors and commercial space on the ground level. He said there would be 94 total apartment units with half 1-bedroom units and the other half 2-bedroom. He referenced the rendering of the proposed building and commented on its similarity to the Cornerstone project, which has experienced success in leasing their residential and commercial space. Mr. Lewis provided members with information as to the anticipated type of tenants for the project, and the appropriateness of the facility within the neighborhood. Mr. Lewis advised members there was a marketing plan already in the works to bring in good commercial tenants to compliment the residential units. He described the benefits of the project for the City regarding removing an older building and noted prior attempts to make the current facility functional. He advised there were agreements with the necessary utility companies regarding the removal of utility poles and wires and cleaning up the environmental issues on-site. Mr. Lewis stated he believed the redevelopment of this property would be a nice compliment to the surrounding area. Principal Planner Olson referred to the staff report dated July 31, 2019, that was provided in the Commission’s packets. He commented on the modifications implemented as a result of the Commission’s and staff comments during the prior conceptual plan review, and how the project addressed and met numerous aspects of the City’s 2007 Downtown Revitalization Plan, the 2011 Downtown Design Guidelines, and the 2013 DeKalb City Center Plan. He noted the previous plan had shown two buildings in the middle of the site and now shows one building at Planning and Zoning Commission August 7, 2019 Page 3 of 6 the corner of North 4th Street and East Locust Street. Principal Planner Olson also reviewed the parking aspect of the project and the justification of a waiver for parking. He provided an overview of the environmental concerns on the property and remediation recommendations that were provided along with landscaping requirements and exceptions to the PD-C District Regulations. He continued with his review covering the Standards for Zoning Map Amendments along with Standards for Planned Developments per the UDO. He then completed his overview of the staff report by covering the public input provided so far. Chair Doe gave the public an opportunity to speak. There were none. Chair Doe closed the public hearing. Chair Doe asked if the Commissioners had any more questions or comments. Ms. Buckley advised she liked the new site layout as it flowed better than the previous one. She liked the incorporation of the 2-bedroom units and the demand for such a product had perhaps not yet been seen before. She stated the project would be a great addition to the downtown. Mr. Castro inquired as to the difference between the two companies, PNG Development and Pappas Development. Mr. Lewis advised the entities were two different companies, and that PNG Development had been formed to address the acquisition of the property for this project. He continued by stating Pappas Development is a separate company which was essentially hired by PNG Development as the contractor on the project. Mr. Castro inquired as to whether PNG Development would be the ultimate owner of the project and Mr. Lewis confirmed they would be. Mr. Castro proceeded in addressing Principal Planner Olson’s comments regarding the contamination on the property caused by a previous gas station and how the responsibility is assigned when the contaminated property is abandoned. Principal Planner Olson shared that while he was not aware of all the regulations from the State regarding contamination, he did state when gas tanks leak, they are required to be replaced under State law. Mr. Castro commented on the situation wherein someone has to be responsible for cleaning up the contamination. Principal Planner Olson responded by stating the developer is proposing to clean it up and meet the ILEPA standards, which was part of the TIF funding approval. Mr. Castro addressed the issue of parking, stating he doesn’t believe there is a problem at the present time, but one may occur in the future. He commented that while looking at the maps there is a parking lot just north of the DeKalb Library that belongs to a Catholic church and he wondered if an agreement could be reached between the City and the church to allow people to use that parking lot for the future. Mr. Castro continued by referencing a current parking use agreement between a nearby funeral home and the DeKalb Library and suggested this could occur with this development. He then offered his thanks to Principal Planner Olson for the staff report explanation of the parking concerns noted by the Executive Director of the DeKalb Library. Mr. Castro noted he had a tour of the Cornerstone Planning and Zoning Commission August 7, 2019 Page 4 of 6 building with Mr. Pappas on July 26th and mentioned their resulting conversation regarding the business model and the idea of sustainability for the project. He shared his concern about the project and wants to ensure that 20 years from now the project continues to be successful. He shared that he was willing to take the risk to provide a yes vote for this project and was willing to address any opinions or comments from the members of the Commission. Chair Doe advised she felt she had a unique side that the other members didn’t have in light of her employment with NIU where she receives phone calls from individuals asking about apartment complexes to rent from. She offered her perspective on the developing pattern of young individuals who are not yet ready to invest in a home and who are not sure if they will be in the area for 3-5 years. She added they are interested in renting a higher-end apartment where multiple amenities are offered. She said the current market is supportive of the type of development proposed by the applicant. Mr. Klein advised members he would not be participating in any discussion as he and Mr. Lewis were partners in the same law office and did not want any appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest and therefore would be abstaining from voting on this item. Ms. Barbe mentioned she liked the new plan much better and was sad the green space between the buildings was gone but understands the compromises that are needed. She also shared she would like to see an outdoor restaurant with seating on the site and not just parking. She stated the proposed development would be an asset to the City. Ms. Buckley inquired about the project timeline. Mr. Pappas responded by noting upon approval he would proceed with the EPA remediation items, raze the building by the end of 2019 and then start construction in the Spring of 2020. He said the estimated timeline would be a year and a half to two years from start to finish. Mr. Pappas then provided members with comments relating to some of the history of rental housing in the City and his perspective on what the future requirements are for sustainable properties. He said there is a trend to more one- and two- bedroom units instead of four to five-bedroom units. He noted the success of the Cornerstone project and mentioned the variety of backgrounds (e.g. singles, retirees, young professionals, grad students) of the residents. Ms. Buckley made a motion that, based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, 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-C” Planned Development Commercial District, exceptions to the UDO regarding site coverage, landscaping and parking for a Planned Development and approval of a Planned Development Preliminary and Final Plan as listed in Exhibit A of the staff report for the subject site located Planning and Zoning Commission August 7, 2019 Page 5 of 6 along the east side of North 4th Street between Locust Street and Oak Street, with addresses of 204 North 4th Street and 420 Oak Street subject to the standards listed in Exhibit B of the staff report and subject to the staff comments listed in Exhibit C of the staff report. The motion was seconded by Ms. Barbe. A roll call vote was taken. Ms. Buckley – yes, Mr. Castro – yes, Mr. Klein – abstain, Ms. Barbe – yes, Chair Doe – yes. Motion passes 4-0-2 with one abstention. Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Wright were absent. 3. Public Hearing – Petition by Mobilitie, represented by Mark O’Brien, for a special use permit for a 10-foot tall cell antenna to be located on top of the building at 100 West Lincoln Highway (Walgreens) Principal Planner Olson advised members that since the agenda had been posted, the applicant had requested the hearing be continued. He said the applicant is evaluating the design of the cell antenna and would like more time and may be revising the drawings. He requested a motion from the Commission to continue the hearing to Wednesday, September 4th, at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers. Mr. Klein made a motion to continue the hearing to Wednesday, September 4, 2019, at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers as requested. Seconded by Mr. Castro. Motion passed with a unanimous voice vote. F. REPORTS Principal Planner Olson mentioned the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 21st, however no hearings are scheduled. He advised members the meeting would likely be cancelled, with a notice being sent to members the week before. He said at the July 22nd City Council meeting, the Council approved the Park 88 amendments previously reviewed by the Commission. Mr. Olson also advised members this was the last meeting for Recording Secretary Christine Wang as she was moving on to law school. He offered his thanks for her efforts, provided her with a card and an emblem from the City and wished her the best. Chair Doe also thanked Ms. Wang for all her efforts and commented on the great job she had done taking the minutes for the Commission. G. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Buckley motioned to adjourn, Ms. Barbe seconded the motion, and the motion was approved by unanimous voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 6:49 PM.

Comprehensive Plan Designation Commercial II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Request/Background The City has received a zoning petition and plan applications from PNG Development, LLC, represented by John Pappas, to allow for the construction of a new 113,000 sq. ft. mixed-use four-story building to be called Agora Tower. The subject site is approximately 3 acres and located along the east side of N. 4th Street between Oak St. and Locust St., commonly known as the Mooney property. The addresses for the property are 204 N. 4th St. and 420 Oak St. The site currently contains a building that was the home to the former Mooney Chevrolet car dealership, which has been vacant since 2012. The dealership still operates their collision center in a building along Oak St. The applicant proposes to raze the former dealership building, the existing collision center along Oak St., mitigate known environmental problems, and construct a four-story building that will include up to 94 apartment units and approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on the ground floor. There will be 11 apartment units on the ground floor with the remaining on the upper floors. Rezoning the site from the “LI” Light Industrial District to the “PD-C” Planned Development - Commercial District is requested in order to accommodate the proposed uses. Waivers to the Unified Development Ordinance have been requested for maximum site coverage, off-street parking and other approvals as required for the subject property to allow for the construction as proposed and indicated on the development plans. Finally, approval of a Planned Development Preliminary and Final Plan is requested. Page 2 of 14 A .35-acre parcel along the far eastern portion of the site along Oak St. is shown on the plan, but currently not under control by the developer. It is labeled “Parcel Not Included” on the plan. The developer has indicated to the City they are working with the owner of the parcel to purchase it; however, it is currently not part of the project at this time. On June 10, 2019, the City Council approved a preliminary TIF agreement with the developer. The estimated total project cost was $13,875,000 with a preliminary TIF request of $3,000,000 or 21.6% of the project cost. May 22, 2019 Concept Plan Review On May 22, 2019, a Concept Plan for the site was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, when the plan included two 4-story buildings located near the middle of the site with 40 apartment units in each building comprising of 22 two-bedroom units and 18 one-bedroom units. There was also approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of total ground level commercial space proposed between the two buildings. The Commission was generally in favor of the proposal and thought it would be a positive for the downtown. The Commission did provide direction to the developer to improve the appearance of the buildings and to provide supporting information for the deficiency in parking. Comments from the public included support from adjacent property owners noting it would be an improvement to the neighborhood and an appropriate reuse of the property. Others from the public who spoke inquired about the feasibility to save the building and if there was a demand for the type of apartment units proposed. Minutes from the May 22nd meeting are provided in the Commission’s packet. Since the May 22nd Commission meeting the applicant has revised the plan by reducing the number of buildings from two to one and moving it near the corner of N. 4th St. and Locust St. to provide a better streetscape and more consistency with other downtown buildings. Access was removed from N. 4th St. and an additional access was placed along Oak St. with an access also provided to Locust St. The architectural renderings were also revised to provide additional masonry, larger windows, roof features, and an increased mix of stone, brick and enhanced materials. History of Building The building was constructed in 1881 as the works of the Illinois Ellwood Manufacturing Company, principal maker of the Glidden patents for barbed wire. The property was later acquired by American Steel & Wire Company, West Works Red Shop (“Red Shops”) which was used to produce barbed wire up until 1938. The building served as a car dealership from 1940 to 1986 as Fourth Street Motors (Katz Family), 1986 to 1993 (Joe Daniels) and then from 1993 to 2012 as Mike Mooney Chevrolet. Apartment Amenities The proposed building will include 47 one-bedroom units and 47 two-bedroom units. There will be approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of total ground level commercial space. The Page 3 of 14 apartment units will include high end finishes similar to Cornerstone and will contain in- unit washers and dryers and there will be a choice of furnished or unfurnished units. Building amenities will include a fitness center, business center, meeting room, theatre room, hospitality room with guest/resident restrooms and on-site professional management. In addition, 10% percent of the apartment units will be handicap accessible. At this time the proposed commercial tenants are unknown, however will likely consist of retail, restaurants, professional service and office uses. The commercial space will be marketed by a national retail broker with regional and national tenants targeted. Comprehensive Plan The site is currently zoned “LI” Light Industrial and the 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates Commercial for the site. The proposed project is in conformance with many of the recommendations outlined in the 2007 Downtown Revitalization Plan, the 2011 Design Guidelines, and the 2013 DeKalb City Center Plan including: • Mixed use retail and residential buildings are recommended and encouraged to create a livable urban atmosphere. • Waivers to the UDO are encouraged to facilitate attractive development. • Expanded living options and high-end living options are recommended. The plans recognize that housing is an essential contributor to the “critical mass” that strong downtowns exhibit. One- and two-bedroom units in buildings up to six stories tall are supported and are critical to creating a day and nighttime population. • The proposed project will meet many of the design guidelines in the planning documents including scale, building facades, materials and architectural detail. Parking There are 206 standard parking spaces (includes 11 diagonal spaces along the north side of Locust St.) and 7 handicap spaces proposed for a total of 213 parking spaces provided. The number of required parking spaces is 229, based upon the proposed uses and the UDO requirements as follows: • 47 one-bedroom units (47 x 1.5 spaces per unit) = 70.5 spaces • 47 two-bedroom units (47 x 2.5 spaces per unit) = 117.5 spaces • 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space x .15 (15% reduction from gross floor area)/ 250 sq. ft. per space = 41 spaces • Total of 229 spaces required. The applicant has indicated at their 51-unit Cornerstone project (all 1-bedoom units) only 40 parking permits have been issued to the residents. The resulting parking ratio is about Page 4 of 14 .78 parking spaces required per apartment unit. Applying that ratio to the Agora Tower project would result in 37 required parking spaces for the one-bedroom units instead of the 70.5 spaces. Therefore, the total number of required parking spaces for the project would be 196 instead of 229. It should be noted there are about 110 parking spaces in public parking lots within 1-1 ½ blocks of the subject site and numerous on-street parking spaces. A parking waiver is justified based upon the location of the project near downtown, the proximity of other public parking spaces and the actual parking ratio for one-bedroom apartment units from a similar development (Cornerstone). A parking agreement will be required in order to allow for the exclusive use of the 11 diagonal public parking spaces along the north side of Locust St. by the residents/patrons of Agora Tower. The spaces are rarely occupied except for some use by the Unitarian Church across Locust St. The plans were distributed to the various City Departments, the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District (KWRD), Park District and School District. The DeKalb Police Department and DeKalb Park District have no comments at this time. The City Engineer is requesting additional drainage and trip generation information, however once addressed the layout of the site will not change. A final plat and photometric plan, meeting the UDO requirements, will be required to be submitted prior to any building permits being issued. Minor planning and zoning comments are also provided, and all comments are shown in Exhibit C. Environmental Reports A copy of the Phase II Environmental Report and the Asbestos Material Inspection Report is provided in the packet. The Phase II Environmental report concluded the property contains one or possibly two remaining underground storage tanks related to a former gas station at the northwest corner of the property. The report also notes numerous areas that appear to be impacted by petroleum chemicals in the soil effecting the soil and groundwater. The report recommends the existing underground tanks be removed and the site entered into the IEPA Site Remediation Program. The Asbestos report indicates asbestos was found in the building and must be removed per IEPA and IDPH standards prior to demolition. The TIF request contemplated $300,000 for environmental remediation. Landscaping The landscape requirements along Oak St., per the UDO, are short a few trees and shrubs, however there are extra plantings within the parking lot interior and other yards that make up for the difference. There are no plantings proposed in two of the interior yards, however they are adjacent to existing industrial/commercial buildings so a waiver is justified. There are four existing trees in the right-of-way along Oak St. that will remain and four Elm Trees in the middle of the property that will be removed (one is dead). The Landscape Plan will be revised to add turf and plantings in front of the building along N. 4th St. Page 5 of 14 Exceptions to the Planned Development – Commercial District Regulations. The maximum site coverage for the Planned Development – Commercial District is 70%, with an increase up to 90% if recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the City Council if certain criteria is met. The site coverage is 82%. The proposed project meets the criteria to increase the maximum site coverage since it will provide additional open spaces beyond what exists on the site and creates a mixed-use development that includes amenities which further the goals and policies of the City. Landscaping (trees, shrubs) are not provided in two interior yards due to the proximity of adjacent commercial and industrial buildings. A waiver to the landscaping standards in the UDO is justified based upon the adjacent non-residential land uses and since the landscape setback is 10-15 feet compared to the minimum requirement of five feet. As noted previously in the report, a waiver is justified to reduce the parking requirement for the one-bedroom apartment units based upon the location of the project near downtown, the proximity of other public parking spaces and the actual parking ratio for one-bedroom units in the Cornerstone development. IV. STANDARDS FOR ZONING MAP AMENDMENT 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 commercial use. In addition, the proposed project is in conformance with many of the recommendations outlined in the 2007 Downtown Revitalization Plan, the 2011 Design Guidelines, and the 2013 DeKalb City Center Plan. Mixed use buildings with commercial uses on the first floor are recommended and encouraged in the Plans for the downtown area. Staff believes the proposed development meets the intent of the City’s Comprehensive Planning Documents. The proposed rezoning request will allow the redevelopment of the site that will spur additional development in the downtown area and increase the day and nighttime population. 2. The proposed rezoning conforms to the intent and purpose of the Unified Development Ordinance. The intent and purpose of the Planned Development zoning district states: The purpose of the Planned Development Districts is to provide a means of achieving greater flexibility in development of land in a manner not always possible in conventional zoning districts; to encourage a more imaginative and innovative design of projects; to promote a more desirable community environment; and to retain maximum control over both the design and future operation of the development. Page 6 of 14 The rezoning of the subject property to PD-C provides the opportunity to more directly shape the development, use and appearance of this property in accordance with the City’s design criteria and conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planned Development allows the developer and the City the flexibility to agree to a development plan and standards that seek relief from the Unified Development Ordinance. The proposed rezoning request, exceptions to the UDO and associated plans will allow the redevelopment of the site into a mixed-use project that will spur additional development in the surrounding area. 3. The proposed rezoning will not have a significantly detrimental effect on the long-range development of adjacent properties or adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning should not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses as it entitles the subject property to a re-use of the property that is complementary with the adjacent area. The PD-C zoning provides the mechanism to provide imaginative and innovative design that will have a positive effect on the surrounding area while providing relief to the applicant allowing the redevelopment of the subject property. The proposed rezoning request and development plan will allow the redevelopment of a highly visible corner in the downtown area into a mixed-use development that will generate new business opportunities and support existing commerce in the surrounding area, while spurring increased property values and other development opportunities. 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 “LI” Light Industrial District. Rezoning the property to “PD-C” will allow for a well-designed project. The rezoning will allow for flexibility by the applicant to redevelop the property in a manner that will complement the surrounding neighborhood in terms of size, scale and density. 5. Adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided. Adequate public services can be provided to the subject property. The developer is responsible for necessary utility improvements, which can be readily made. The subject property lies within adequate service areas for other City services, such as police and fire protection. IV. 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 Page 7 of 14 application for a planned development; and further, that no planned development shall be allowed which would result in: 1. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development; Several access points already exist along N. 4th St. and Oak St. The proposed plan eliminates the existing access points along N. 4th St. and provides two access points along Oak St. and one along Locust St., therefore providing adequate and safe access to the site. 2. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major street network in the vicinity; N. 4th St. (Rt. 23) is a major arterial road under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation and more than adequate to handle the traffic that will be generated by the proposed uses. Oak St. and Locust St. also provides adequate capacity for the proposed traffic. In addition, there is a traffic control signal at N. 4th St. and Locust St. 3. 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 Planned Development designation will not have any undue impact on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection or other public facilities. The proposed new building and uses will redevelop a property that has remained vacant since 2012. Additional property and sales tax will be generated from the development of the site. 4. A development which will be incompatible with the intent and purposes of this Ordinance; The applicant is requesting PD-C zoning, which allows the City to approve regulations that will control the zoning, development and maintenance, operations and other property improvement related issues. 5. Detrimental impact on surrounding area including, but not limited to, visual pollution; The surrounding area is already developed. The proposed zoning and proposed uses are compatible with the surrounding area and Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning should not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses. In addition, the proposed project is in conformance with many of the recommendations outlined in the 2007 Downtown Revitalization Plan, the 2011 Design Guidelines, and the 2013 DeKalb City Center Plan. Page 8 of 14 V. PUBLIC INPUT The City received a letter (attached in packet) from Emily Faulkner, Director of the DeKalb Library, indicating support for the project, however, requesting the parking lot be made available to the public. The Library is concerned about additional people visiting downtown and parking in the Library owned lots or on Oak St. because of the private lot at Agora Tower. Since the Agora Tower site is not in the “CBD” Zoning District, off- street parking is required to be provided and is to be maintained as a private lot. The City cannot require the lot to become a public parking lot. It should be noted the Haish and Ellwood parking lots are closer to the Library than Agora Tower and often have open parking spaces. In addition, the Haish and Ellwood lots are closer to downtown. The requirement for providing private off-street parking at the project site was discussed with Ms. Faulkner. Better identification of private and public parking lots in and around the library was discussed and can be looked at further. VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed rezoning request and development plan will allow the redevelopment of a highly visible corner and gateway into the downtown area that will generate new business opportunities and support existing commerce in the surrounding area, while spurring property values and other development opportunities. The staff’s recommendation is to approve, and a sample motion has been prepared. Sample Motion: Based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move 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-C” Planned Development Commercial District, exceptions to the UDO regarding site coverage, landscaping and parking for a Planned Development and approval of a Planned Development Preliminary and Final Plan as listed in Exhibit A for the subject site located along the east side of N. 4th Street between Locust Street and Oak Street, with addresses of 204 N. 4th St. and 420 Oak St. subject to the standards listed in Exhibit B and subject to staff comments listed in Exhibit C.

APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA (Additions/Deletions) Chair Doe requested a motion to approve the May 22, 2019, agenda as presented. Ms. Barbe motioned to approve the agenda as presented. Mr. Maxwell seconded the motion, and the motion was approved by unanimous voice vote. C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES None. D. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (Open Floor to Anyone Wishing to Speak on Record) None. E. NEW BUSINESS 1. Concept Plan Review – Request by Pappas Development, LLC, for review of a Concept Plan (Sketch Plan) for a proposed mixed-use project on a three-acre site located along the east side of North Fourth Street between Locust Street and Oak Street, commonly known as the Mooney Property. John Pappas of Pappas Development in DeKalb stated he is proposing two 50,000 square foot buildings with 40 apartment units and about 6,500 square feet of commercial space in each building. He stated there will be about 180 parking spaces provide on the site. He noted the apartments will be similar to the Cornerstone and Plaza DeKalb projects. Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2019 Page 2 of 7 Principal Planner Olson stated the applicant is proposing a mixed-use project on a three-acre site located along the east side of North Fourth Street between Locust Street and Oak Street. He stated that the amenities will include a hospitality room, fitness center, and outdoor terraces. He said the applicant proposes to raze the former dealership building, mitigate known environmental problems and construct two 4-story mixed-use buildings at about 50,000 square feet each. Principal Planner Olson pointed out the proposed Concept Plan addresses many of the goals of the DeKalb City Center Plan and Downtown Revitalization Plan in relation to enhancing the downtown area with mixed-use developments and improving gateways into the downtown. Principal Planner Olson said some initial site plan issues include parking, as there are 177 parking stalls provided on the site and the estimated number of required parking spaces, per the UDO, is about 212. He said there will be a need for some parking relief as the applicant moves forward with the zoning petition and as more detailed plans are developed. Principal Planner Olson stated the parking demand would be further analyzed to ensure the project would have enough spaces. He said full access points are proposed off North Fourth Street and Oak Street and the plan reduces the number of access points that currently exist. Principal Planner Olson noted an additional access should be considered to Locust Street. He mentioned there was one Citizen Response Form received from John Delano, of Delano’s Decorating, indicating his support for the plan. Principal Planner Olson advised the Commission this was a Concept Plan and the applicant is anticipating re-zoning the site from the “LI” Light Industrial District to the “PD-C” Planned Development – Commercial District if the project moves forward. He said they will also be submitting engineering, landscaping, and lighting plans. He stated the applicant appeared before the City Council for TIF financing to assist in the redevelopment of the site. Principal Planner Olson noted the estimated total project cost is $13,875,000 and the preliminary TIF request is $3,000,000, or 21.6% of the project cost. He noted no vote was taken; however, the Council’s consensus was to move forward with a preliminary development incentive agreement with the developer. Chair Doe opened for public comment. Bessie Chronopoulos of 423 Gayle Avenue stated the City should be looking into the Comprehensive Plan and she is not overly concerned about TIF financing. She said the City should look at how this land should be developed and to keep the use of the property as high quality as possible. She questioned the need for more apartment units in DeKalb and stated she would like to see how Cornerstone and Plaza DeKalb develop first before she would support this project. Ms. Chronopoulos noted there are other buildings around the subject site that should also be looked at for further development. Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2019 Page 3 of 7 John Morton of 721 North Ninth Street stated he feels the design is cold and uninteresting and the open space area between the buildings would not receive enough sunlight. He noted if the City will be tearing down a historic building, the resulting project should be better, and he feels the proposed plan does not provide that. He added the funds to construct the project will have to come from the public and that the population of DeKalb has declined by about one and a half percent from 2010 to 2016. Mr. Morton said taxpayers would fund about a fifth of the cost of the project but would not receive any benefit. He said he would like to hear about other opportunities for the site before agreeing to the proposed use. Dave Kolars of 623 Franklin Street suggested an artist’s cooperative in the City. He said a building that is structurally sound should not be torn down without knowing how much it would cost to be in compliance with EPA regulations. Mr. Kolars said he wants to keep the existing structure before tearing it down for something newer. Steven Beckler stated he owns property on the northwest corner of North Sixth and Locust Street. He said he likes the concept plan and does not mind that TIF money will go towards the project. Mr. Beckler encouraged the City to look at the surrounding properties and to expand this subject site’s reach and improve the whole area. Paul Sauser, property owner to the east of subject property on Locust Street, noted the site is a huge eyesore and the previous user dumped sewer waste into the Kishwaukee River, and the City did not do much about it. He said the building is structurally sound but is not built to today’s standards. He asked where the sewer is going to hook up to. He said he likes the project and noted Mr. Pappas has been in the business for a long time and knows what he is doing. Mr. Sauser said believes the Methodist Church will still be used as a church and encouraged the City to move quickly before the developer leaves. Mr. Pappas addressed the Commission regarding the need for this type of housing. He noted Cornerstone has 51 units and has amenities such as private parking and a hotel lobby. He noted he missed the leasing season with Cornerstone; however, it was 50% leased in the first 60-90 days. Mr. Pappas said after the holiday season, it was 100% occupied. He noted it was mostly occupied by young professionals such as doctors or pharmacists and some grad students. He said the surrounding properties downtown have not been developed properly because of mismanagement of TIF funds. He said the subject site (Mooney Property) has EPA issues and there are underground fuel tanks on the property. Mr. Pappas said he has not looked at the surrounding properties but believes there is a demand for this type of housing in DeKalb. Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2019 Page 4 of 7 Principal Planner Olson addressed the question of sewer hookups from Chair Doe and noted the next step would involve the submittal of engineering plans to be examined by the City Engineer. Ms. Barbe said she likes the general concept and did not know about the environmental problems of the property. She asked if these apartments would be furnished. Mr. Pappas said it might be a 50/50 option. Ms. Barbe said she agrees with Mr. Morton about the design and said it looked like a prison. She said there should be more interest to the look of the buildings. Mr. Pappas said the floor plan will remain the same but will try to change the exterior. Mr. Castro asked what the known environmental issues were. Mr. Pappas said he had an EPA report and it could involve millions of dollars in remediation work, including underground tanks and asbestos. Mr. Castro requested that when the project comes back, a list of environmental issues and a more detailed history of the building be provided. Mr. Castro said he would like to see redevelopment of old buildings but does not know if it is feasible with this one. Mr. Pappas said because of the EPA issues with the building, he does not want to redevelop the building. Principal Planner Olson said in the downtown area the City encourages redevelopment of buildings, however it is unfeasible in this case. Mr. Castro asked Mr. Pappas how much of his own capital was he willing to invest. Mr. Pappas said he tested the market near NIU for this type of housing before investing in Cornerstone and said there is a proven market for it. Mr. Castro said he heard from a DeKalb landlord that there was a surplus of apartments. Mr. Pappas said there is a surplus of bedrooms, not units, and he prefers to have 1-2 bedroom units rather than 3-4 bedroom units. Mr. Castro said the main economic engine is the University, and asked Mr. Pappas if he is investing in the University and believes it is moving in the right direction. Mr. Pappas said he believes the University is moving in the right direction, but currently apartment units are too expensive for what you receive and there is no safety. He said he does not want to enter into the college student market and is targeting young professionals instead. Chair Doe stated the demand for a furnished, rented apartment by professionals does exist. Mr. Pappas said there is still a market for this type of housing unit in DeKalb. Mr. Maxwell said he hates seeing historic buildings be torn down in favor of redevelopment, but noted this plan makes sense as there were no previous takers when the site was up for sale. He noted many people in their 20s and 30s do not want to own homes yet and there is a market for this type of rental unit. Mr. Pappas said the TIF funding is restricted to TIF-eligible expenses, including rectifying the EPA issues. Mr. Maxwell said there should be changes Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2019 Page 5 of 7 in the architectural design of the buildings, and Mr. Pappas concurred. Mr. Maxwell applauded Mr. Pappas for investing in DeKalb. Ms. Buckley said there needs to be change in the current architectural design. She asked if there is a declining population because of the things to do in DeKalb or because there are other things that draw people away. Mr. Pappas said the college students leave on Thursdays and Fridays, which contributes to the issue of people leaving DeKalb. Ms. Buckley noted businesses are coming back to the downtown area, which could be the impetus for attracting more people to the area. Mr. Pappas noted this market comes down to disposable income, which there is less of today. Chair Doe asked about parking and the proposed plan’s reduced parking. Principal Planner Olson said there would have to be a waiver and justification for providing less spaces than required in the UDO. Mr. Pappas said it’s not likely to get more parking spaces, but he will take another look at it. Chair Doe also agreed there needed to be a different architectural design to the buildings. Chair Doe asked if there was any further public comment. Mr. Sauser said the regulations for parking were too stringent in the past and most of the parking lot was empty when the car dealer occupied the site. Mr. Sauser said because of the property’s proximity to the downtown area, parking is not going to be a huge issue. Carolyn Morris of 1363 Omega Circle Drive said the Commission should not encourage more parking beyond what is needed and would like to see more open space in parking lots. She said there is no longer an emphasis on driving and more of an emphasis on walking. Chair Doe said the applicant needs to follow the UDO, but the applicant can bring a variance request forward. Mr. Maxwell said there needs to be close parking available to the proposed retail in the building. Mr. Kolars stated the downtown area was a strong economic engine years ago, but after Sycamore Road was developed, the downtown area no longer served as that engine. He said there used to be more parking per block on the street. He said there needs to be more clothing and food stores in the downtown area and the area does not fulfill the needs of residents. Martha Robinson of 955 South Sixth Street said the property should be developed to generate more sales tax and to bring more people with disposable income to the downtown area. Ms. Chronopoulos said Mr. Pappas was correct in noting the TIF funds were not used correctly, and the Sycamore Road area saw more investment in the Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2019 Page 6 of 7 past. She said the trends have led to the decline of the Sycamore Road area, such as the decline of brick and mortar stores. She suggested building more apartments similar to what is proposed. Ms. Chronopoulos noted the need to have more discussions like this instead of pointing fingers and the Landmark Commission needs to get involved in the review of the project. Chair Doe said she likes to see people in the downtown area and feels the downtown area is coming back. F. REPORTS Principal Planner Olson mentioned the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting will be Wednesday, June 5th, however no public hearings have been scheduled. Mr. Olson handed out the updated Development Status Report to the Commission. G. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Buckley motioned to adjourn, Mr. Maxwell seconded the motion, and the motion was approved by unanimous voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 PM.

Executive Summary Benchmark Environmental Services, Inc. (Benchmark) was retained by Mr. William Marquardsen of Heartland Bank and Trust Company, Aurora, Illinois, to perform a Phase II Subsurface Investigation at 208 North 4th Street and 420 Oak Street, DeKalb, IL (the “Subject Site”). This Phase II Subsurface Investigation was performed to further investigate potential impacts at the subject site that were presented as Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) in a Phase I ESA performed by Benchmark Environmental Services, Inc., dated September 2017. The Benchmark Phase I ESA report stated the following Recognized Environmental Conditions were identified in connection with the subject property: “The historical use of the northwestern portion of the subject site (current parking lot) as a gasoline filling station poses a Recognized Environmental Condition in regard to the potential for remaining USTs and associated leakage and impacts to subsurface soil and/or groundwater. Due to the age of this former gas station, no information is available from governmental agencies regarding the number, size and contents of the former USTs and their disposition.” “Benchmark observed an apparent flush-mounted fill port for a UST along the north-central portion of the subject site. No records are available as to the size, contents or disposition of this UST. The potential for leakage and impacts to subsurface soil and/or groundwater poses a Recognized Environmental Condition for the subject site.” “Benchmark observed numerous out-of-service in-ground hydraulic hoists in the former car dealer building. The potential for leakage of these hydraulic hoists poses a Recognized Environmental Condition for the subject site.” “Based on the historical use of the subject site for industrial and commercial purposes, which stored, utilized and disposed of hazardous and petroleum materials/wastes, the potential for vapor intrusion poses a recognized environmental concern to the subject site.” “The adjoining southwest property was historically operated as a gasoline filling station, with no information available regarding the disposition of former USTs of information on potential leakage, poses a Recognized Environmental Condition for the subject site.” “The adjoining northwest property was historically operated as a gasoline filling station, with no information available regarding the disposition of former USTs of information on potential leakage, poses a Recognized Environmental Condition for the subject site.” Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions “The subject site at 204 N. 4th Street (former car dealer) was reported as having two used oil USTs (1,500 and 300-gallon) along the north portion of the industrial building. The USTs were removed on 7/8/91 and reported as leaking on 7/9/91. The site was investigated and issued a No Further Action letter by the IEPA on 10/9/99. Based on IEPA closure this former LUST incident is considered a Historical Recognized Environmental Condition to the subject site.” BES, Inc.

Prior to any planned demolition/remodeling of the structure, an asbestos inspection with sampling/laboratory analysis should be performed by a licensed Illinois asbestos inspector according to the DeKalb County, IEPA and NESHAPS requirements.” “Based on the age of the onsite structures (1877 and 1954 with periodic updates/renovations), lead-based may exist in the building. An analysis of the painted surfaces is beyond the scope of this report. If any future renovations or remodeling is performed, painted areas should be tested by a licensed lead-based paint inspector and materials be handled according to Illinois state regulations.” Mr. Walter Karla, CHMM, Benchmark Senior Project Manager, Frank Jiran, Senior Environmental Specialist, and Josh Cox, Environmental Scientist, arrived at the subject site at 8:30 am on October 3, 2017 with subsequent sampling on October 4, 2017. The local utility locator service (JULIE) was previously contacted to mark any underground utility lines on the property. A check for marked underground utilities was performed with none found in the areas of the proposed soil borings. A total of twenty (20) soil borings were performed, and four (4) groundwater monitoring wells were sampled on-site. The soil borings were performed utilizing a track-mounted GeoProbe direct-push sampling system. Twenty (20) soil samples and four (4) groundwater samples were submitted to STAT Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois for one or more of the following Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) regulated compounds volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes (BTEX), Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs), Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals and pH. For further information, illustrating the location of these sampling locations, see the Soil Boring/Groundwater Sample Locations Diagram in the Appendix section of this report. Soil Sampling Results The PNA compound benzo(a)anthracene was detected in soil borings B-12 and B-17 at concentrations of 2.3 mg/kg and 1.3 mg/kg respectively, which exceeds the IEPA Residential Ingestion Exposure Route pathway of 0.9 mg/kg. The PNA compound benzo(a)pyrene was detected in soil borings B-11, B-12, B-13, B-17, B-18 and B-19 at concentrations of 0.26 mg/kg, 1.7 mg/kg, 0.13 mg/kg, 1.9 mg/kg, 0.24 mg/kg and 0.24 mg/kg respectively, which exceeds the IEPA Residential Ingestion Exposure Route pathway of 0.09 mg/kg. The PNA compound benzo(b)fluoranthene was detected in soil borings B-12 and B-17 at concentrations of 1.9 mg/kg and 0.98 mg/kg respectively, which exceeds the IEPA Residential Ingestion Exposure Route pathway 0.9 mg/kg. The PNA compound indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene was detected in soil boring B-12 at a concentration of 1.0 mg/kg, which exceeds the IEPA Residential Ingestion Exposure Route pathway of 0.9 mg/kg. The PNA compound dibenzo(a,h)anthracene was detected in soil boring B-17 at a concentration of 0.31 mg/kg, which exceeds the IEPA Residential Ingestion Exposure Route pathway of 0.09 mg/kg.

The GPR survey was performed on all accessible, exterior areas of the facility. The GPR walkover survey concluded that two (2) potential areas with anomalies the size and shape of a UST were identified during the GPR walkover survey. One confirmed UST was identified along the north property boundary. An existing fill port was accessed by Benchmark and the interior was determined to contain a water/petroleum mixture with a weathered gasoline odor present. An additional potential UST was identified at the north-central portion of the parking lot. An anomaly the size and shape of a UST was identified in this area. Several additional anomalies were identified relating to the former gasoline station UST excavations, the two (2) areas of the removed used oil UST and heating fuel oil USTs along the north side of the onsite structure and the former pad-mounted electrical transformer located along the western parking lot boundary.

Methodology During the course of the Phase II Subsurface Investigation, soil samples were procured at one to two foot intervals for field screening from surface grade to a maximum depth of 16 feet below grade surface (bgs). Laboratory samples were obtained at the bottom of the borings; at the highest Photo Ionization Detector (PID) reading; or at the groundwater interface, in order to determine if contamination is present in the soils encountered at the subject site. Groundwater was also sampled to evaluate the potential for groundwater impacts. A. Subsurface Soil Borings/Temporary Groundwater Monitoring Wells A total of twenty (20) soil borings were advanced, and four (4) groundwater monitoring wells were sampled on-site. The soil borings were performed utilizing a track-mounted GeoProbe direct-push sampling system. Twenty (20) soil samples and four (4) groundwater samples were submitted to STAT Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois for one or more of the following Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) regulated compounds volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes (BTEX), Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals and pH. Soil and groundwater samples were analyzed for one or more of the following IEPA specified indicator contaminants: -VOCs -BTEX -PNAs -RCRA metals -PCBs -pH B. Soil Sample Collection Soil samples were obtained continuously at 1’- 4’ intervals, from surface grade to a maximum depth of 16 feet bgs. Samples were field screened according to the “headspace” method, using a MiniRae Lite, PID Meter, equipped with a 10.5 eV lamp and a HNU Systems, Inc. PID meter equipped with an 11.7eV lamp. The samples were first placed in airtight containers, and warmed to a temperature of approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The PID probe was then inserted into the container and subsequently draws in the volatilized organic constituents present in the samples. A read-out in parts per million (ppm) is then recorded on the instrument. Benchmark personnel performed oversight of the soil drilling operation, collected the soil samples, visually inspected the soil samples for signs of contamination, performed headspace analysis on samples with a PID, and classified each soil sample in terms of texture and color in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D-2487-93 and D-2488-93). The samples with the highest PID headspace response from each boring (above the groundwater table) were selected for laboratory analysis. BES, Inc.

Groundwater Sample Collection The groundwater samples were obtained by utilizing existing and temporary groundwater monitoring wells. The temporary groundwater monitoring wells were installed into the soil sample collection boring. The groundwater monitoring wells consisted of a five-foot, one-inch PVC well screen and ten foot PVC riser. The groundwater monitoring wells were purged to reduce turbidity and to obtain a representative sample of the groundwater in the specific location. The groundwater samples were obtained utilizing dedicated tubing and a peristaltic pump at each location. Four (4) groundwater samples were submitted to STAT Laboratories in Chicago, IL for analysis of IEPA regulated compounds. D. Preserving & Transporting Laboratory Samples Laboratory soil samples were obtained at depths believed to be the highest concentration of contaminants or the possible points of migration of groundwater for all of the borings. (Based on PID readings) Soil samples for VOC and PNA compounds were collected per EPA SW-846 Method 5035 – Purge and Trap and Extraction for Volatile Organics in Soil and Waste Samples. The soil samples were placed in one (1) 4-oz. glass jar, two (2) 40 ml Teflon capped glass containers of sodium bisulfate and one (1) 40 ml Teflon capped glass container of methanol for each sample location to prevent organic release. The samples were then immediately placed into an insulated cooler filled with ice, and subsequently transported to STAT Laboratories in Chicago, Illinois. The groundwater samples were placed into three laboratory-provided, pre-preserved (HCL) glass 40ml vials, one plastic 500ml, two (2) one-liter amber glass containers and one 500ml plastic container. The samples were labeled and recorded on a Chain-of-Custody and placed into an insulated cooler filled with ice. BES, Inc.

The following is a summary of the procedures Benchmark personnel performed to preserve, transport, and properly handle the soil samples obtained in the field:  All samples were labeled with the following markings prior to transporting them: - job name / number - sampling date - sample boring number / location - depth of sample / elevation - special shipping / handling instructions  Benchmark personnel donned new latex gloves while sampling at each location. All equipment was washed with an Alconox laboratory grade detergent and triple-rinsed with deionized water.  All samples were preserved before transportation in laboratory provided, sealed moisture-proof glass- plastic containers of sufficient thickness and strength to ensure against breakage and moisture loss. The glass-plastic container lids are Teflon lined.  All samples were transported in insulated coolers to prevent freezing, thawing or undesirable temperature changes from affecting the samples. The insulated coolers were filled with ice to prevent the volatilized organic constituents from being released during extreme weather conditions. The samples were protected against vibration and shock by using urethane foam as a cushioning material. Benchmark personnel transported and handled all soil samples using proper Chain-of-Custody Procedures in accordance with the Standard Guide for Sampling Chain-of-Custody Procedures (ASTM D-4840-1095).

Geology USDA Soil Survey Map According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), the subject site area is composed of the Wingate silt loam and Drummer silty clay loam soil series. The Wingate silt loam series is present at the very east/southeast side of the subject site and consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils on till plains. They are moderately permeable in the solum and moderately slowly permeable in the substratum. The Drummer series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils formed in loess or other silty material. Clay content ranges from 15-33 percent and sand content ranges from 15-55 percent. Subsurface conditions on-site consisted of asphalt or concrete pavement, fill materials, relic topsoils, underlain by silty clay and clay to a depth of 12 feet below surface grade. Groundwater was encountered at depths between 5-6 feet at the exterior (north) and 6-7 feet at the interior (south). See soil boring logs in Appendix for detailed soil descriptions. United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map Benchmark personnel reviewed the USGS Topographic Map for the subject site. Benchmark’s observations correlate with the topographic map. The elevation is 880 feet above mean sea level. The USGS Topographic Map illustrated the subject site and surrounding area to be fairly level. Assumed local groundwater flow is to the west and northwest towards the South Branch Kishwaukee River. Copies of the USDA Soil Survey Map and USGS Topographic Map for the subject site are included in the Appendix section of this report. BES, Inc.

Conclusions Benchmark Environmental Services, Inc. (Benchmark) was retained by Mr. William Marquardsen of Heartland Bank and Trust Company, Aurora, Illinois, to perform a Phase II Subsurface Investigation at 208 North 4th Street and 420 Oak Street, DeKalb, IL (the “Subject Site”). This Phase II Subsurface Investigation was performed to further investigate potential impacts at the subject site that were presented as Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) in a Phase I ESA performed by Benchmark Environmental Services, Inc., dated September 2017. A total of twenty (20) soil borings were advanced, and four (4) groundwater monitoring wells were sampled on-site. The soil borings were performed utilizing a track-mounted GeoProbe direct-push sampling system. Twenty (20) soil samples and four (4) groundwater samples were submitted to STAT Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois for one or more of the following Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) regulated compounds volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes (BTEX), Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs), Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals and pH. Conclusions One or possibly two remaining USTs were discovered at the subject site. Numerous areas appear to be impacted by petroleum chemicals in soil effecting soil and groundwater. Benchmark recommends that the discovered existing UST(s) be permitted and removed by a licensed tank removal contractor, along with the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) required Closure Assessment and soil sampling. As exceedances have been discovered, the site will need to be reported to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) as a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) site, with further investigation and corrective actions be performed per Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requirements. Recommendations In order to properly evaluate the impacts at the subject site, Benchmark recommends that the discovered soil and groundwater contamination at the subject site be addressed by entering the property into the IEPA Site Remediation Program (SRP), along with the performance of a site investigation to delineate the on-site impacts followed by risk assessment and/or remediation in order to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) letter.

(Benchmark) was retained by Mr. William Marquardsen of Heartland Bank and Trust Company, Aurora, Illinois to conduct an Asbestos Inspection/Sampling report on the property located at 204 N. 4th Street, DeKalb, Illinois. The purpose of the project was to identify and to determine the location and concentration of accessible friable and non-friable asbestos containing materials (ACM) present throughout the structure on the property. Homogeneous areas were defined and sampled per USEPA protocols. Samples were submitted and analyzed by a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) laboratory. II. Inspection Summary On October 4, 2017, Walter Karla, CHMM, Benchmark Senior Project Manager and Licensed Asbestos Inspector, Illinois Department of Public Health Asbestos License #100- 05995 and Frank J. Jiran, Senior Environmental Specialist, arrived on-site to perform the inspection. The site was visually inspected and delineated as to types of suspect asbestos materials present in order to determine the number and locations of samples to be obtained. The subject site structure sampled is a two-story masonry constructed approximately 50,196 square-feet industrial structure approximately 50,196 square-feet and was initially developed in the 1870s as the Ellwood Barb Fence Wire Company, followed by the Superior Barb Wire Company and later merged with the American Steel and Wire Company through at least the 1920s-1930s. The structure was recently utilized as an automobile dealership. As a part of this study, Benchmark personnel collected forty-eight (48) bulk samples (laboratory divided into sixty-three (63) samples) of potential asbestos containing building materials (ACBMs) throughout the interior of the subject site building. The samples were submitted to STAT Analytical Laboratories in Chicago, Illinois for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining to identify asbestos fibers. The sample locations and laboratory results are summarized in Table 1. Copies of the laboratory results are presented in the Appendix section of this report. Based on the results of laboratory analysis performed on the samples obtained from the subject site, the following materials/areas have been determined to contain asbestos by analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).  The 2nd floor tiles in east offices and mastic/glue adhesive associated with the floor tiles (also beneath gray carpet).  The 2nd floor tiles in employee break-room and mastic/glue adhesive associated with the floor tiles.  The transite wallboard in 2nd floor central/south storeroom.  The 1st floor tiles under top layer (16” x 16”) floor tiles in west showroom and offices and mastic/glue adhesive associated with the floor tiles.  The 1st floor boiler covering in boiler room.  The 1st floor 8” pipe insulation.  The 1st floor central area pipe insulation-elbows.

Any asbestos materials that will be encountered/disturbed during any demolition/remodeling activities must be removed prior to renovation, by an Illinois Department of Public Health, licensed, certified asbestos abatement contractor. This asbestos waste must be properly packaged, transported and disposed of at a landfill licensed to accept asbestos waste. Asbestos removal/abatement must be performed in accordance with National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations 40 CFR 61 (M) and OHSA regulations 29 CFR 1926.1101 and Illinois Administration Code 77 part 855 and performed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

Sampling Procedures Per the USEPA, asbestos materials may be found in cement products, acoustical plaster, fireproofing textiles, wallboard, ceiling tiles, vinyl floor tiles, thermal insulation, and other materials. ACM/ACBMs have been grouped into three categories: (1) sprayed-on or troweled-on materials on ceilings, walls and other surfaces; (2) insulation on pipes, boilers, tanks, ducts, and other equipment; and (3) other miscellaneous products such as floor and ceiling tile, wallboard, etc. If ACMs remain in good condition, and are unlikely to be disturbed, exposure will be negligible. However, when ACM is damaged or disturbed by accident, maintenance or repairs, asbestos fibers can be released creating a hazard to building occupants. A. Homogeneous Grouping An initial walk-through inspection is performed in order to delineate the individual homogenous areas of suspected ACBMs. Homogeneous areas include materials, which appear to have been installed at the same period of time and have the same coloring, texture, and size. Homogeneous areas were sampled as a group. Any variation in material, replacement or repairs was sampled as a separate group. B. Sampling Locations Samples of friable materials (materials, which can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure) were collected in a random method utilizing statistically generated number diagrams with a minimum of three samples per homogeneous area. C. Sampling Methods  Proper personal protective equipment was worn by sampling personnel. The level of protection was determined by site conditions.  Individual samples were obtained by utilizing latex gloves and sampling tools, which were replaced or cleaned between each sampling location.  Sample locations were moistened with a water/surfactant mixture prior to sampling to eliminate fiber release.  Samples were placed into labeled, clean, moistened containers.  All sample locations were repaired to eliminate any possible releases of fibers.  A Chain of Custody was filled out immediately following sampling and stored/transported with samples to laboratory in order to insure proper documentation of samples/locations.

Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the results of laboratory analysis performed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) on the material which were found to contain asbestos, must be removed from the structure prior to demolition/remodeling activities, by an Illinois Department of Public Health, licensed, certified asbestos abatement contractor and properly packaged, transported and disposed of at a landfill licensed to accept asbestos waste. A notification form must be filed with the IEPA and local authorities 10 days prior to any abatement activities. Additionally, any obvious Category I non-friable materials that are encountered / disturbed during any demolition or remodeling/renovation activities which were hidden from view during this inspection, activities should be halted and the material assessed by a licensed asbestos inspector to determine if asbestos is present. If this material is found to contain asbestos, also must be removed by an Illinois Department of Public Health, licensed, certified asbestos abatement contractor. Benchmark will provide a Scope of Work proposal for the abatement of the material which were found to contain asbestos per request of the client. BES, Inc.

Lincoln Highway (Mobilitie) (Walgreens) I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Purpose Approval of a special use permit for a 10-foot-tall cell antenna on top of the Walgreens store. B. Location/Size 100 W. Lincoln Highway/1 acre C. Petitioner Mobilitie represented by Mark O’Brien D. Existing Zoning “CBD” Central Business District E. Existing Land Use Walgreens Pharmacy F. Proposed Land Use Walgreens Pharmacy G. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use North: GC; various commercial South: GC and CBD; various commercial East: CBD; apartments, commercial West: GC; bank, vacant lot, commercial H. Comprehensive Plan Designation Commercial II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The applicant, Mobilitie represented by Mark O’Brien, is requesting approval of a special use permit in order to install a 10-foot-tall cell antenna on top of the Walgreens Pharmacy at 100 W. Lincoln Highway. The UDO requires that any cell antenna in a commercial zoned property be required to obtain a special use permit. Starting last year, Walgreens began partnering with Sprint to provide wireless services in their stores in the Chicago area. The Sprint Express locations allow customers to purchase devices, sign up for service plans and pay their bills. The applicant would like to add a 10-foot-tall cellular antenna on top of the Walgreens building to enhance cellular connectivity in and around the store. The antenna would provide enhances wireless services to Walgreens customers in the store and up to a ½ mile away. The enhanced connectivity will provide better in-store customer service, increase sales and provide for additional revenue for the City. Sprint has engaged Mobilitie to design, secure appropriate permits and construct the rooftop facilities in accordance with Walgreens' engineering standards and jurisdictional requirements. Walgreens has selected a design with both an interior and exterior antenna to enhance indoor and outdoor coverage. The exterior antenna will not extend more than 10 feet above the highest point of the building, allowing minimum visibility from the street level while maintaining coverage objectives. The antenna will be placed at the rear (south end) of the roof about 35 feet from the edge of the parapet wall along the east side of the building (see aerial image in the packet). The parapet wall is about 4.5 feet above the roof line so the antenna will be partially or fully screened from view from all sides of the building. There is no associated ground equipment related to the proposed improvements. The applicant has provided a letter indicating how they are meeting the conditions for a special use for a cell antenna per the UDO standards. A co-location protocol was not done since the equipment is required to be on top of the building in order to provide the enhanced service. III. STANDARDS OF A SPECIAL USE 1. The proposed special use complies with all provisions of the applicable district regulations. The proposed cell antenna will comply with all regulations of the “CBD” Central Business District and the UDO. The proposed cell antenna is only 10 feet in height and will be placed at the central portion of the rear of the roof and will partially or fully screened by the parapet wall. 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 will not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses. The site has been zoned commercial for decades and is in proximity to a variety of commercial Page 2 of 4 uses. The cell antenna will only be 10 feet tall, will be partially or fully screened by a parapet wall and will not be injurious to the surrounding area. The building where the antenna will be placed is about 255 feet away from the nearest residential zoned property line. 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 special use will not dominate the immediate area and will not prevent development on the neighboring properties. The surrounding area is already developed with a variety of commercial uses and some residential apartment units. 4. Adequate utility, drainage and other such necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Adequate public services are already provided to the subject site with some additional equipment being added in order to provide the enhanced cell service. 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. The proposed special use will not be detrimental to the permitted developments and uses on the site or to the surrounding area. Enhanced service to Sprint customers will be beneficial to the community and the proposed antenna will allow for better in-store customer service and increased sales and provide for additional revenue for the City. IV. CITIZEN RESPONSE/COMMENTS There have been no public comments submitted to the City prior to the posting of the agenda. V. RECOMMENDATION Sample Motion: Based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact and recommend to the City Council approval of a special Page 3 of 4 use permit for a 10-foot-tall cell antenna on top of the Walgreens at 100 W.
