(related to the proposed development of the vacant +/- 15-acre commercial property west of the Shoppes of Geneva Commons as single-family detached homes.) Location: Fisher Farms Area B; Applicant: Mark Mastrorocco, Pulte Group. Mr. Mark Mastrorocco with Pulte Homes, Schaumburg, Illinois, introduced land planner/architect, Mr. Chuck Hanlon with Wills, Burke, Kelsey Associates, St. Charles, Illinois, and civil engineer, Mr. William Zalewski, with SPACECO, Rosemont, Illinois. Mr. Mastrorocco discussed the ideal location of this development, given what a resident looks for: great sense of community, excellent schools, parks and recreation, and nearby restaurants, stores and transportation. He was seeking input and guidance from the Plan Commission. Mr. Chuck Hanlon, land planner for the development, located the site on a map, noting it was behind Geneva Commons Shopping Center. He stated his team will be working with the City of St. Charles as it relates to the undeveloped property to the north and in regards to an access point. Connecting the bike trail on the south side of Bricher to the existing trail will be beneficial. In general, Mr. Hanlon elaborated on the benefits of the site to the nearby shopping areas. The proposal is for R-4 type zoning, 48 single-family attached homes, with lot sizes of 60 ft. wide by 125 ft. He understands there will be a six-foot high (nearly solid) fence on the east side buffering the homes from Geneva Commons. The site layout will consist of a “closed” system where no other roads will connect into the development. Mr. Hanlon stated the detention area to the south already takes into account the development. A common park (HOA) area will be located on the north and south parts of the site. Mr. Mastrorocco referenced six different floor plans and elevations in commissioners’ packets with home square footage ranging from 2300 sq. feet to just over 3200 sq. feet (not including any extra bump-outs). Minimum lot square footage was at 7500 sq. feet. Mr. Mastrorocco explained the various floor plans and how they will be used to address three different consumer lifestyles: new families, the empty nester, and in-law arrangements. Building materials were reviewed. All homes will include three-car garages and those homes reflecting a two-door garage door will have a tandem parking arrangement. Basements were included with the homes. Mr. Mastrorocco hoped to break ground this spring. Prices, though not finalized, could range anywhere from $450,000 to $500,000. Commissioner questions/comments about the proposal included: 1) exploring the addition of a pedestrian walkway to Geneva Commons through the southeast corner of the site (between lots 18 and 19); 2) concern about the lot coverage ratio (staff did bring this matter up and staff’s expectation is that there will have to be a “built in cushion” factor between the maximum lot coverage and the coverage of each unit.); 3) concern about the density of the development as compared to Fisher Farms; and 4) concern about one access road onto Bricher Road. Dir. Untch added that development staff will need to discuss how to address this specific item with the City of St. Charles. Mr. Hanlon also mentioned that having two lanes at the boulevard access point would physically mitigate any concerns about a single road access. Lastly, commissioners did appreciate the bike path being completed. Per a question, Mr. Mastrorocco stated he has used the tandem garage in other Pulte developments. Asked if there was a flexibility in the setbacks to provide variation, Mr. Hanlon was open to the idea. As to fencing, Mr. Mastrorocco stated that fencing would be allowed with a standard restriction. Asked whether some of the materials on the facades could be minimized, Mr. Mastrorocco stated it could be considered. Other positive comments were that the residential use for the parcel was very good. While traffic congestion at the single access point on Bricher was a concern, a suggestion was Geneva Plan Commission -3- January 9, 2014 made to move the access further west since much traffic existed to the east. Dir. Untch explained staff would have to work with the City of St. Charles and the applicant to address the traffic with a traffic study. A last suggestion included consideration for another walkway on the west side of the development connecting into the west neighborhood between two homes. Public Comment - None Other Business - Staff provided updates on the following: 1) the building addition to First Baptist Church (Peck & Keslinger); whether commissioners were still interested in having the Planning Commission packets available on lap tops or tablets (with some paper packets available at the meeting); and the RTA technical assistance grant -- staff has reached an agreement as to the scope of work. Dir. Untch envisions the project will start in a couple of months with input eventually from the plan commissioners. Details followed. Updates also followed regarding the multi-community housing policy being coordinated with the Metropolitan Planning Council and CMAP. Per another question, staff had no further updates on the Patten House restaurant; however, regarding the Prairie Ridge housing development, DeGroot reported the developer was completing some of the townhomes and the development was on track. Regarding the Mill Race Inn, Dir. Untch stated there was a contract purchaser and a number of studies were underway. The city’s historic planner recently completed a development chronology of the site and has discovered original walls of the structure which he was looking into whether the walls could be used in some form of adaptive re-use. Lastly, Dir. Untch announced that there is a TIF district study underway for the near east side area on both sides of Route 38 heading east up the hill. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. on motion by Commissioner Evans. Motion carried unanimously.

The procedure followed for public hearings is as follows:  First, the Plan Commission secretary or the designated representative will read or describe written items, reports, and plans into the record.  Second, the petitioner will present testimony in favor of the petition and will present any supporting plans or exhibits.  Third, the Commission members will have an opportunity to question the petitioner.  Fourth, the Commission will then receive citizen testimony both for and against the petition. Questions about the proposal may be directed to the petitioner or petitioner’s witnesses and questions about the Plan Commission process itself may be directed to me. Following such testimony the petitioner and the Plan Commission may ask questions of those who testified.  Finally, the petitioner may provide a rebuttal to any testimony in opposition. When all the testimony is brought into the record the hearing will be closed and the Plan Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council in the form of a motion or motions.  In order to give testimony, you must provide your name and address on the registration sheet located at the entrance of the hearing room and sign in the space provided.

PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES City of Geneva 109 James Street - City Council Chambers Meeting #1140 – December 12, 2013 Chairman Rogers called the Plan Commission meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Roll call followed: Present: Commissioners Erickson, Evans, Leidig, Mead, Stevenson, Stocking, Chairman Rogers Absent: Commissioners Case Others Present: Community Development Dir. Dick Untch; Planner David DeGroot; Recording Secretary Celeste Weilandt Public Present: Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Art Kaindl ________________________________________________________________________________ Approval of the November 14, 2013 Meeting Minutes Minutes of the November 14, 2013 meeting were approved on motion by Commissioner Leidig, seconded by Commissioner Evans. Motion carried by voice vote of 6-0-1 (Erickson abstains). Review and Recommendation Session (Public Hearing held on 11/14/2013) Text Amendments - Request for amendments to the applicable section of Title 11 (Zoning Ordinance) and Title 12 (Subdivisions) of the Geneva City Code related to the consolidation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission so that the duties and obligations of the Zoning Board of Appeals be carried out by the Plan Commission. Planner DeGroot recalled the discussion from last month included the public hearing, commissioner comments on the reduction of members from 9 to 7, and concerns about the final authority on variations. He opened it up for committee discussion. Commissioner comments followed that the statute dictated the membership number, combining both bodies allowed for an efficient process for city functions, and it was a simpler process for the applicants. Per a question as to any new insight since the last meeting, DeGroot added that he has been working with Building Commissioner Dustin Schultze on a few of the past applications to prepare similar staff reports but has not participated in the last few variation requests. Dir. Untch discussed some of the challenges he and DeGroot saw going from 9 to 7 members and what it might mean, such as having two less perspectives or meeting quorum but he also reflected upon the fact that the city has a very good amount of staff support to review the projects that come before the commissioners, which was an added benefit. Asked if there was a limit of legal or monetary responsibility to the members should a zoning appeal be forwarded to the courts, Dir. Untch explained that the city’s insurance would be used for that purpose. However, he emphasized that it would be important for the commissioners to thoroughly address the four standards during the hearing discussion and carefully review and discuss the fact finding portion of any appeal or variation request. Additionally, he pointed out that the commissioners were similarly reviewing certain variations such as subdivision variations and sign variations, but in a recommending mode. Most of the zoning cases coming before the commission would be residential in nature. Responding to the above question, ZBA Chairman, Art Kaindl, explained the process that follows a legal appeal. He confirmed that the majority of the cases are residential in nature. Geneva Plan Commission -2- December 12, 2013 Other comments followed that some commissioners did not favor the reduction in membership; the reduction diluted the diversity of perspectives; and that given the few times the Zoning Board has been called upon to act negated the amount of benefit to the community and did not justify or offset reducing the size of the Plan Commission members from 9 to 7. Contrarily, other comments followed that sometimes by keeping the group smaller, it was easier to reach consensus and that having generalists on the commission was beneficial than having amateur planners. Commissioner Erickson moved to approve request for amendments to the applicable section of Title 11 (Zoning Ordinance) and Title 12 (Subdivisions) of the Geneva City Code related to the consolidation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission so that the duties and obligations of the Zoning Board of Appeals be carried out by the Plan Commission. Seconded by Commissioner Mead?? Aye: Erickson, Leidig, Stevenson, Stocking, Rogers Nay: Evans, Mead MOTION PASSED. VOTE: 5-2 Chairman Rogers encouraged the City Council to consider the comments made by Commissioners Evans and Mead. Staff expected this topic to be discussed at the next Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for January 13, 2014. Public Comment - None Other Business - Mr. DeGroot provided updates on the following: the sign variation for Past Basket was approved; a new sign variation request was received from The Country House; and staff received an application for a preliminary/final PUD for First Baptist Church on Peck Road for a west campus addition. Dir. Untch reported that the city received a technical assistance grant from the RTA for a zoning ordinance update on the City’s downtown master plan. Details followed. Lastly, DeGroot announced that a redesign of the city’s web site has recently taken place and easier options were now available to the public. As a consideration for the consolidation of the Zoning Board with the Plan Commission, Commissioner Erickson suggested that those commissioners go before the mayor indicating their interest in resigning and then letting staff determine the membership of new Planning and Zoning Commission and whether it wants to add a couple of ZBA board members. Commissioners supported the suggestion. Chairman Rogers announced Happy Holidays to all. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m. on motion by Commissioner Evans. Motion carried unanimously. Community Development Department Report CITY OF GENEVA PLAN COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 4A SIGN VARIATION JANUARY 9, 2014 2095 S. KIRK ROAD COUNTRY HOUSE RESTAURANT Applicant & Property Owner Dean Timson, Country House Restaurnt Location 2095 S. Kirk Road Request Sign variation request to allow a wall sign on the north building façade, which does not have frontage on a public street. Recommendation Staff will provide a recommendation at the conclusion of the public hearing Staff Liaison David DeGroot Figure 1. Location Map. Prepared by Geneva Planning Division, December 2013. City Planner BACKGROUND Phone: (630) 232‐0814 Email: ddegroot@geneva.il.us The Country House Restaurant, located at 2095 S. Kirk Road, would like to add a wall sign on the north façade of the building. The restaurant is a single‐tenant building on a corner lot, the northeast corner of the intersection of Fabyan Parkway and Kirk Road. Per Section 11‐12‐6 of the Geneva Zoning Ordinance, single‐tenant buildings located on corner lots are permitted to have 2 wall signs per building façade with street frontage. The total sign area per street frontage may not exceed 40 square feet. Wall signs are not permitted on the north building façade of the Country House restaurant because it does not have street frontage. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a Sign Variation to allow a wall sign on a building façade that does not have frontage on a public street. Agenda Item 4A Page 2 of 5 Sign Variation: 2095 S. Kirk Road REQUEST Request for a Sign Variation, in accordance with Section 11‐14‐5A of the Geneva Zoning Ordinance, to allow a wall sign on a building façade which does not have frontage on a public street. REVIEW COMMENTS/PROPERTY INFORMATION As stated in the attached narrative from the applicant, Dean Timson, a sign has not been placed on the west building faced (fronting Kirk Road) because the architecture of the building and the large setback from Kirk Road make it difficult to place a sign large enough to be read by higher speed traffic on Kirk Road. However, the north building façade has less architectural detail and is visible to southbound traffic on Kirk Road. The proposed sign on the north building façade would have a sign area of 39.66 square feet (2’10” x 14’0”). The depth of the proposed sign would be approximately 4” on the west and 12” on the east, tilting the sign slightly toward Kirk Road. Please see the attached sign plan. As shown in Table 1, the City’s sign regulations allow the subject property to have one freestanding sign and two wall signs per façade with street frontage. The freestanding sign is allowed to be up to 40 square feet in area and the wall signs are allowed to have a combined area of up to 40 square feet per façade with street frontage. The County House currently has a freestanding sign along Kirk Road but does not have any wall signs on the building. Although the applicant’s proposal would allow Figure 2. 2095 S. Kirk Road. North building facade, looking south from Kirk Road. a sign on a building façade that does not have street frontage, signs are not located on facades that do have street frontage and the total proposed sign area is consistent with the intent of the City’s sign regulations.

Surrounding Property Information. Prepared by Geneva Planning Division, January 2014. Sign Variation Standards – Findings of Fact Staff has evaluated the requested Sign Variation in relation to the five (5) sign variation standards the Plan Commission uses in formulating it findings of fact, as set forth in Section 11‐14‐5A(G) of the Zoning Ordinance. The staff analysis below is based on the information and documents provided by the applicant and staff’s review of the request. Based on evidence and testimony provided at the public hearing, the Plan Commission may choose to use the staff analysis in formulating its findings of fact, or formulate its owns findings. 1. General Standard: Carrying out the strict letter of the regulations set forth in chapter 12 (Signs) would create a particular hardship or a practical difficulty not caused by an act or omission of the applicant. Carrying out the strict letter of the City’s sign regulations would not allow the applicant to place a wall sign on the building that could be easily viewed from Kirk Road. As discussed in Standard 2 below, the architecture of the west building façade (fronting Kirk Road) and the building setback from Kirk Road make placing a wall sign on the west building facade large enough to be read by higher speed traffic on Kirk Road difficult. 2. Unusual Physical Limitations: The subject property or the structure on which the sign is proposed to be located is burdened with an unusual physical limitation, such as an irregular shape, unusual geographic location, exceptional topographical feature, or other extraordinary physical condition, that is particular to the subject property and that is more than merely an inconvenience or cost consideration to the applicant. The property is setback more than 150 feet from Kirk Road and more than 100 feet from Fabyan Parkway. The architecture of the building makes placing a wall sign on the west building façade large enough to be read by higher speed traffic on Kirk Road Figure 3. 2095 S. Kirk Road. West building facade, looking east from Kirk Road. Agenda Item 4A Page 4 of 5 Sign Variation: 2095 S. Kirk Road extremely difficult. The large setback and the architecture of the building, combined with the visibility of the north building façade from southbound traffic on Kirk Road present a unique condition that cannot be generally applied to other commercial properties. 3. Adverse Impacts: The variation, if granted, would have no adverse impact on any abutting or adjacent property and no adverse Figure 4. 2095 S. Kirk Road. South building facade, looking north from Fabyan Parkway. impact on the essential character of any part of or all the neighborhood of the subject property. The requested sign variation would not have an adverse impact on any abutting or adjacent property or an adverse impact on the character of area in which it is located. Although the undeveloped farmland to the north is planned for commercial use in the future, the Country House restaurant is setback more than 150 feet from the north lot line. The proposed sign on the restaurant’s north building façade should not impact development of the property to the north. Besides being located on a façade without street frontage, the proposed sign would Figure 5. 2095 S. Kirk Road. Fabyan Parkway ingress/egress. otherwise comply with the City’s sign regulations and would not be out of character for the Kirk Road corridor which includes the Fifth Third Bank Ballpark and Fox Valley Ice Arena. 4. Public Health and Safety: The variation, if granted, would have no adverse impact on, and would not endanger, the public health or safety. The requested sign variation would not have an impact on, or endanger the public health and safety. 5. Minimum Variation: The variation requested is the minimum variation necessary for the reasonable use of the land. The requested sign variation is the minimum necessary to allow a wall sign on the building that can be easily read from Kirk Road. Agenda Item 4A Page 5 of 5 Sign Variation: 2095 S. Kirk Road RECOMMENDATION Staff will provide a recommendation at the conclusion of the public hearing. REVIEW/APPROVAL PROCESS: NEXT STEPS* 1.

ATTACHMENTS Narrative – prepared by Dean Timson Sign Plan October 11, 2013 City of Geneva 22 South First Street Geneva, IL 60134 RE: COUNTRY HOUSE RESTAURANT 2095 S KIRK ROAD, GENEVA, IL 60134 Brittain & Foster, Inc. is requesting a variation for a proposed single face sign located on The Country House Restaurant, Geneva, Illinois. The display shall be 2’10” high x 14’0” long equaling 39.66 square feet and installed on the North elevation of the building. The depth of the display is approximately 4” on one end and 12” on the other end (tipping the sign slightly towards Kirk Road). It would have a brown aluminum face panel and white copy. Please refer to the attached sketch 2192-2 Option A. The sign would be lit by a protracting flood light. The City code requires that signage should face the road and we request a variance to allow the sign to be placed on the North façade. The Country House, which is set far back from traffic, has always been difficult to recognize as a dining establishment. People confuse it with an office building or even a residence. Kirk Road is a fast paced road and a sign would be easier read from the north at a further distance than by having to turn your head 90 degrees as you pass the building to view a sign facing west. It would also be difficult to place a 40 sq. ft. sign on the west façade because of the building’s design (windows, doors and dormers). The property to the north has gone undeveloped for the last several decades with no sign of change. Your attention and consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated.
