NEW BUSINESS A Courtesy Review for Proposed Daycare Learning Center at 290 W Main Street Summary: The Bradford Real Estate Companies requests a Courtesy Review with the Village Board to consider a day care learning center at 290 West Main Street. The proposed BrightPath early learning center is a single-story 13,000 square foot building with on-site spaces for drop‘off, staff parking, and a 10,000 square foot fenced outdoor play area. The proposed concept would position the building as close to the corner as possible to maintain the existing natural landscape tree buffer to the adjacent neighborhood. The outdoor play area will be positioned along Route 22 to allow drivers to enter from Robertson Road to maintain the children’s safety and avoid the busy intersection. The developer and village staff seek to understand the Village Board’s preferences towards the proposed development prior to moving forward with review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Recommended Actioni This is a non-voting item as this time. The developer and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the proposed use at this site. Asst. Village Manager Michael Duebner introduced Mr. Gary Wendt, Bradford Real Estate Co., who gave a PowerPoint presentation of the proposal and the Board members gave their comments afterwards. Trustee Sugrue asked if IDOT had been contacted about access to this property off Rt. 22 and Mr. Wendt said it had not. Trustee Weider asked if the daycare company had looked for other properties in the Village. The representative from BrightPath stated that there is not a lot available within the Village. Trustee Weider pointed out that the childcare drop off and pick up would coincide with the Dist. 95 bus schedule, causing a lot of congestion. Trustee Euker stated she wants to see a traffic study for that area and she asked about other locations in the area. Also asked by Trustee Euker was the number of employees, market for this type of childcare, lighting, parking issues. Trustee Riley concerns were parking especially at drop off and pick up. Trustee Marx stated his issue with the playground so close to Rt. 22 and felt it was unsuitable for this location. Trustee Spacone asked staff about improving the intersection with W. Main St., and advised the petitioner to work with the staff.  Village 0f Lake Zurich Board 0f Trustees Regular Meeting. Monday November 18th 2024. 3 TRUSTEE REPORTS There were none.
