Pursuant to the Village of Huntley Code of Ordinance amendment approved by the Village Board in March 2017, separate approval is required for all gaming requests. Staff Analysis The Village is in receipt of a Class “A” Liquor License, which allows for video gaming, request from Mr. Michael Skala for SMDMF LLC – Goodfella’s; 10980 Route 47. Mr. Skala informed staff it is his intent to include five (5) video gaming machines within the expansion of his existing fast food restaurant, which will provide additional dine-in seating after all renovations have been completed. Development Services Department Staff is working with the petitioner on reviewing the plans for the remodeling of the two units. Approval is being requested at this time to allow for the video gaming location within Goodfella’s upon the completion of the remodel and combining of the adjacent unit and issuance of a certificate of occupancy. For more detailed information, please see the staff report in the Liquor Commission packet. Financial Impact Payment for five (5) machines as well as the terminal operator fee will be processed upon approval of the gaming location. Legal Analysis Section 110.60 of the Village Code of Ordinances regulates video gaming in the Village. The application has been reviewed and is on file. Mayor Sass reported that representatives of the petition were in attendance to answer questions. 08.08.19 VB Meeting 3 Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Leopold asked if the door to the former donut shop will remain a door. Mike Skala, owner, stated that both doors will remain. Trustee Piwko noted that looking at the site plan, the plans appear to have more than five (5) machines. Mr. Skala said there will be five (5) gaming terminals, one (1) redemption machine, and one (1) token machine. Trustee Westberg asked how the line of site would be monitored; Mr. Skala stated that a person will be stationed at the counter. Trustee Westberg asked if the plans called for a half-wall to the gaming area; Mr. Skala stated the half-wall will be six feet long. There were no other comments or questions. A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Approving the Issuance of a Video Gaming Location License to SMDMF LLC – Goodfella’s; 10980 Route 47, pursuant to the Village of Huntley Code of Ordinances Section 110.60. MOTION: Trustee Leopold SECOND: Trustee Westberg AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Leopold, Piwko and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: Trustee Kanakaris The motion carried: 5-0-1 e) Consideration - An Ordinance Amending Title XI, Business Regulations, Chapter 110 Alcoholic Beverages, Video Gaming & Electronic Sweepstakes Machines Village Manager David Johnson reported that the Village of Huntley regulates the sale of alcoholic beverages through its Liquor Control Ordinance in Title XI, Business Regulations, Chapter 110 Alcoholic Beverages, Video Gaming and Electronic Sweepstakes Machines. Staff Analysis In an effort to keep the Village Code consistent with Illinois State Statute 235 ILCS 5/6-2 regarding restriction on license holders, an amendment is being presented at this time for Section 110.22 Restrictions of Licenses. The amendment will update the local code to substantially match the restrictions of the State Statute. Legal Analysis The Village’s Special Counsel prepared the code amendment and all is in order for Village Board consideration. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none. A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Amending Title XI, Business Regulations, Chapter 110 Alcoholic Beverages, Video Gaming and Electronic Sweepstakes Machines, Section 110.22 Restrictions of Licenses. 08.08.19 VB Meeting 4 MOTION: Trustee Leopold SECOND: Trustee Goldman AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Leopold, Piwko and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: Trustee Kanakaris The motion carried: 5-0-1 f) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving a Major Adjustment to the Site Plan for the Lincoln Farmstead, 8401 Route 47 Village Manager David Johnson reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported that the petitioners, Chris and Barb Lincoln, are requesting a major adjustment to the approved site plan for the Lincoln Farmstead rural event venue. The Village Board previously approved Ordinance (O) 2018-07.25 which approved a Zoning Ordinance text amendment, a special use permit, and site plan review for the proposed rural event venue. The adjustment to the site plan is necessary to accommodate a future replacement septic system in the area previously dedicated for parking. The replacement septic system is a requirement of the McHenry County Health Department and the only place the petitioners were able to locate it was in the area originally planned for parking. The property must remain on a septic system since the nearest Village sanitary sewer is approximately a half mile to the south at Ackman Road. The originally approved site plan consisted of 2.75-acres and the petitioners propose to lease one additional acre from the adjoining property owner to accommodate a majority of the parking for the event venue (a copy of the executed parking agreement has been provided to staff). The revised site plan will provide approximately 132 grass parking spaces on the one-acre parcel in addition to approximately 30 parking spaces on the original site. The site plan previously approved by the Village Board accommodated approximately 70 parking spaces. Staff Analysis Section 156.072(I)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the Village Board to consider major adjustments to a site plan during development. The Village Board may grant approval for a major adjustment without referral to the Plan Commission upon finding that any changes in the site plan will be in substantial conformity with the original plan. Staff recommends the following conditions be applied should the Village Board approve the major adjustment to the site plan: 1. The petitioner shall notify the Development Services Department should the parking agreement be cancelled by either party at any time in the future. 2. The petitioner shall be required to submit a revised site plan for approval by the Village Board should they no longer be permitted to use the one-acre parcel for parking. 3. The petitioner shall establish grass on the one-acre parcel prior to utilizing the area for the parking of vehicles. Village Manager Johnson reported that Chris and Barb Lincoln were in attendance to answer questions. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none. A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Approving a Major Adjustment to the Site Plan for the Lincoln Farmstead, 8401 Route 47. MOTION: Trustee Piwko SECOND: Trustee Goldman 08.08.19 VB Meeting 5 AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Leopold, Piwko and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: Trustee Kanakaris The motion carried: 5-0-1 g) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving (i) an Amended Special Use Permit for Recreational Vehicle Sales; (ii) Final Plat of Consolidation; and (iii) Site Plan Review, Including Any Necessary Relief, for an Expanded Recreational Vehicle Storage Lot for General RV Center, 14000 Automall Drive Village Manager David Johnson reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported that General RV Center (“General RV”) originally developed an ±8.28-acre site adjacent to the south and east of Automall Drive in 2010 and expanded in 2013 to include a ±4.57-acre parcel to the north of that original site. The 2013 project included construction of a 13,240 square foot vehicle service building as well as installation of an adjacent parking lot to the north of the new service building. In February 2018, General RV acquired ±8 acres of the former Huntley Outlet Center property to the east, executed a Plat of Consolidation for the 20.12-acre property and expanded their operation to the east with the grading and construction of an eighty-eight (88) space recreational vehicle inventory parking area and associated landscaping and lighting improvements. In October 2018, a further amendment to the special use permit and site plan was approved to allow the construction of an ±18,400 square foot addition to the site’s original ±33,280 square foot showroom/maintenance/office building. In January 2019, General RV purchased an additional ±7.5 acres of the former outlet center site to create a site totaling ±27.62 acres. General RV is now requesting to amend the special use permit to expand their RV storage lot onto the ±7.5 acres that was purchased earlier this year. The request also requires site plan review for the proposed storage lot improvements and a plat of consolidation to consolidate the ±7.5 acres with General RV’s existing ±20.12-acre property. Special Use Permit In accordance with the “C-2” Regional Retail zoning district, recreational vehicle sales and service is allowed as a special use. Accordingly, the petitioner received approval for a special use permit per Ordinance 2010-09.48, approved September 9, 2010, to allow the initial General RV facility. Subsequent amended special use permits were approved in June 2013 (Ordinance 2013-06.38), February 2018 (Ordinance No. 2018-02.06), and October 2018 (Ordinance No. 2018-10.43). The proposed expansion necessitates approval of another amended special use permit. Site Plan Review The proposed General RV storage lot expansion will provide 125 RV parking spaces and an additional stormwater management basin. The creation of the additional stormwater management basin will accommodate the additional detention/retention required for the expanded storage lot and a new service staging area on the existing General RV site. The new storage lot will be primarily accessed from the existing General RV site; however, a secondary access will be created at Factory Shops Boulevard. This access point will be used for emergency purposes. Staff notes, there are currently gates at the entrance of Factory Shops Boulevard that are required to remain closed in accordance with a settlement agreement between the Village and the owner of the former mall property. 08.08.19 VB Meeting 6 The new storage lot will be enclosed with a fence that will match the exiting black vinyl coated chain link fence and decorative fence used on the existing site. The black vinyl coated chain link fence will run along a portion of the northern edge of the storage lot and new stormwater management basin. The decorative fence will be installed along the east and south lot lines and a portion of the north lot line. Landscaping The proposed landscape plan will add perimeter plantings along the north, south and east lot lines of the new storage lot. The eastern lot line provides a setback of 30 feet allowing for the installation of trees and shrubs to screen the lot from future development. Similarly, a fifteen-foot setback is provided along the south lot line for similar screening from future development. The detention basin will be planted in accordance with the requirements of the Kane County Stormwater Ordinance. Lighting Lighting for the new storage lot will use the same Lithonia Lighting fixture utilized on the existing General RV site. A total of 24 additional light poles, mounted at 24’-6” in height will be installed within the expanded storage lot. Relief Required The proposed site plan requires the following element of relief: 1. Per Huntley Zoning Ordinance Section 156.106 (C)(7) parking areas are to be bordered by a 6- inch curb; therefore, relief is required for the proposed uncurbed portion of RV storage/display area. Similar relief was approved for the RV storage/display area when the initial phase of the General RV site was developed and with subsequent expansions in 2013 and 2018. Final Plat of Subdivision (consolidation) The petitioner is required to consolidate the ±7.5-acre parcel with the existing Lot 1A and Lot 1B of the Resubdivision of General RV Plat of Consolidation resulting in the following: Lot 1A Stormwater Detention ±3.77 Acres Lot 1B General RV Original development, 2013 expansion and ±23.85 Acres latest proposed expansion General RV Total Resulting Acreage ±27.62 Acres The new Lot 1A is 3.77-acres and consists of the existing stormwater management/Eakin Creek. Lot 1A fronting on Freeman Road requires relief of 11.23 acres from the fifteen (15) acre minimum and 273.48 feet from the 600-foot minimum frontage required in the “C-2” Regional Retail District. Lot 1B consists of the General RV dealership and meets the minimum lot width and area requirements for the “C-2” district. Lot 1B also provides a cross access easement for emergency vehicles from Automall Drive to the former outlet center property. Plan Commission Recommendation The Plan Commission reviewed the petitioner’s request on July 22, 2019, and, with no members of the public offering comments in favor or opposition to the request, recommended approval of the petition by a vote of 5 to 0, subject to the following conditions: 1. All public improvements and site development must occur in full compliance with the submitted plans (see list of exhibits) and all other applicable Village Municipal Services (Engineering, Public Works, Planning and Building) site design standards, practices and permit requirements. 2. The petitioners will comply with all final engineering revisions to be approved by the Village Engineer and Development Services Department. 08.08.19 VB Meeting 7 3. The Village of Huntley will require adherence to Illinois drainage law and best management practices for stormwater management. The petitioner, its agents and assignees are responsible for not increasing the rate of stormwater runoff and will be required, to the extent practicable, to minimize any increase in runoff volume through “retention” and design of multi stage outlet structures. 4. The “Future Building Addition” is not approved as part of this request. 5. The petitioner shall obtain final approval of the Landscape Plan from the Development Services Department. 6. The petitioner shall obtain final approval of the Lighting Plan from the Development Services Department. 7. All permanent and seasonal plantings must be replaced immediately upon decline. 8. The petitioner is required to meet all development requirements of the Huntley Fire Protection District. 9. No building plans or permits are approved as part of this submittal. 10. No sign permits are approved as part of this submittal. Strategic Plan Priority The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Attract and Retain Businesses to Enhance Tax Base and Create New Jobs” as a goal. Village Manager Johnson reported that a representative of the petition was in attendance to answer questions. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Mayor Sass noted Lot 1A and stated that General RV owns one-half of the retention basin and that Prime owns the other half; Mayor Sass asked who is responsible for maintaining the basin. Village Manager Johnson stated that there is an agreement regarding maintenance of the basin and noted that General RV has done all their required maintenance. There were no other comments or questions. A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Approving (i) an Amended Special Use Permit for Recreational Vehicle Sales; (ii) Final Plat of Consolidation; and (iii) Site Plan Review, including any necessary relief, for an expanded recreational vehicle storage lot for General RV Center, 14000 Automall Drive. MOTION: Trustee Hoeft SECOND: Trustee Westberg AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Leopold, Piwko and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: Trustee Kanakaris The motion carried: 5-0-1 h) Consideration – A Resolution Approving the Bid Award to Mauro Sewer Construction Inc. to Complete the 2019 Water Main Replacement Program Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that over the past several years, there have been numerous water main breaks on Smith Drive in the Bernat Industrial Park as a result of 08.08.19 VB Meeting 8 deteriorating and aging pipe. These main breaks consume staff resources, result in water loss, are costly to repair, are disruptive to water users and are likely to continue unless the pipe is replaced with new pipe meeting current material and construction standards. Between 2016 to 2018, approximately 5,700 feet of water main has been replaced. For 2019, the project includes replacement of approximately 970 feet of 6”, 8” & 10” water main pipe along with two (2) augered steel casing railroad crossings. The 5-year CIP originally identified $385,000 in 2019 and $265,000 in 2020 for this program. However, the 2019 program will allow the completion of the targeted water main replacements in that area. The only remaining section to be replaced in the Bernat Industrial Park is in the parkway along Allison Court and will be programmed in the future when a looped connection to Smith Drive (west) can be made with proper easements from development of the parcels along the proposed route. On Thursday, July 18, 2019 the Village received bids from two (2) contractors for the 2019 Water Main Replacement Program. The bid results are summarized as follows: Company Name Bid Amount Engineer’s Estimate $380,788.00 Mauro Sewer Construction Inc. $429,955.00 Copenhaver Construction Co. $447,465.55 Staff Analysis The bids have been reviewed by Staff and consulting engineer, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd (CBBEL). The lowest responsive, responsible bidder for the 2019 Water Main Replacement Program is Mauro Sewer Construction Inc. in the Bid amount of $429,955.00. All is in order to award the bid to Mauro Sewer Construction Inc. Review of the attached table summarizes the costs of the Water Main Replacement Program from 2016- 2019. Overall, the sum of the Bids and final construction costs are below the total engineering estimate through that period. Work is anticipated to start after September 1 and be complete by the end of October. As has been done in previous years, businesses in the project area will be notified of the project and associated service disruptions. Strategic Plan Priority The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies Promote Sound Financial Management and Fiscal Sustainability as a Strategic Priority, and “Enhance asset management program to sustain level of service at economical life cycle cost” as an objective. Financial Impact The FY19 Budget includes $385,000 for the Water Main Replacement Program engineering and construction in the Water Capital Improvement and Equipment Fund 515-00-00-8004. If necessary, a budget amendment will be presented to the Village Board for consideration at a later date. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Leopold asked if the Union Pacific Railroad owns the siding; Director Farrell stated that they 08.08.19 VB Meeting 9 did own the siding. Trustee Leopold asked if there was an easement; Director Farrell stated no. Trustee Leopold asked if it could be removed as no trains use it; Director Farrell stated that the Union Pacific was opposed to the removal of the siding. Trustee Leopold stated that the siding has not been used in 50 years. There were no other comments or questions. A MOTION was made to authorize a Resolution Approving the Bid Award to Mauro Sewer Construction Inc. in the bid amount of $429,955.00 for the 2019 Water Main Replacement Program. MOTION: Trustee Leopold SECOND: Trustee Westberg AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Leopold, Piwko and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: Trustee Kanakaris The motion carried: 5-0-1 i) Consideration – Authorization to Seek Bids for Asbestos Remediation at the Catty Building Village Manager David Johnson reported that in February, 2017, the Village purchased the Catty property, which consists of approximately 2.83 acres and a building of approximately 33,000 square feet. Actions taken since then include: • removal of the metal building • securing the main building to prohibit unauthorized entrance • interior clean-up and disposal of garbage • additional groundwater environmental assessment sampling to obtain a letter of No Further Remediation (NFR) from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) • a preliminary evaluation of the site in regard to parking and stormwater management requirements completed by Village staff and engineering consultant In late 2017, Dewberry Architects conducted a Facility Assessment of the structure to document the existing conditions and to identify options and costs associated with the potential redevelopment of the building. The assessment was based on a limited visual inspection and provided an overview of the facility’s existing condition. The report revealed the overall structure at that time appeared to be in fair condition; however, the exterior building enclosure needed immediate repair. To date, no repairs have been made. The Facility Assessment incorporated the findings of two earlier reports completed by the Village regarding any building materials containing asbestos or lead paint. The reports were subsequently used to obtain quotes for the removal of these materials. For asbestos removal, the quote ranged from approximately $50,000 if the building were to be razed, to $80,000 if the building is re-occupied. For lead paint abatement, the quote was in the amount of $168,000, regardless of razing or re-occupying the building. Staff Analysis In partnership with Senator DeWitte’s office, the Village was successful in obtaining a $50,000 grant administered through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to assist 08.08.19 VB Meeting 10 with building repairs, including asbestos abatement. Bids would need to be obtained to move forward with the abatement. The scope of work would request bids for re-use of the building as well as for razing the building so that the Village Board has the information on both options. Strategic Plan Priority The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies Promote New Business Development, Retention, and Expansion as a priority, “continue downtown revitalization efforts” as a goal, and “redevelop Catty property” as an objective. Redevelopment Efforts On February 8, 2018, the Board authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposals to solicit development proposals for the site. The RFP was made available to the public for approximately 60 days, with no proposals submitted by the April 30th deadline. Staff has continued to market the property through various means, including listing the site for sale on CoStar/Loopnet. To date, the listing has been viewed over 1,000 times. Over 20 different entities have toured the building. At this time, at least three parties have expressed interest in the property. The proposals range from re- use of the structure, a combination of re-use of a portion and razing a portion of the structure, and complete razing. Financial Impact Depending on Village Board direction, the costs for asbestos abatement may be covered by the DCEO grant or may require additional funding. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Goldman asked if the $50,000 grant would cover the cost or would the bid amount be different. Village Manager Johnson stated that by going out to bid, the Village would receive updated numbers. Mayor Sass noted the State is attempting to save older buildings through the stabilization program. Village Manager Johnson reported that the Village is required to remove the asbestos regardless of what happens to the building in the future. There were no other comments or questions. A MOTION was made to authorize staff to seek bids for Asbestos Remediation at the Catty Building.
