CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE Granting Variations for a Fence (ZBA 20-11) at
234 McKinley Avenue - Jack and Sarah Danilkowicz, Applicants deferred from June 23,
2020 Village Board meeting - DEFERRED
President Weppler reported that at the June 23, 2020 meeting, the Village Board of Trustees
deferred the ordinance for a fence at 234 McKinley Avenue to allow the petitioners the
opportunity to offer revisions to the proposal. The petitioners have reviewed the issue and offer
the following changes:
• Reduce the opaqueness of the fence from 100% to no more than 66% opaque.
• Reduce the height of the fence from six (6) feet to five (5) feet.
A photo of the proposed fence was provided for Village Board review. The ordinance has been
amended to reflect the proposed changes. President Weppler asked for comments and questions.
Deputy Administrator Engelmann read three emails from Florence Court residents regarding the
fence installation. David McCallum, 224 Florence Court; Elizabeth Everett, 230 Florence Court,
and Diane McCallum 224 Florence Court, all stated their concerns regarding the fence design
and or location. Trustee Johnson and Garrity had questions regarding location and landscaping,
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/July 14, 2020

asking why those had not been included in the ordinance. President Weppler asked that the item
be deferred until the ordinance is more clearly stated and all conditions are included and
understood. Mr. Danilkowicz stated that this matter had caused undue burden on him, but he
accepted deferring.
Trustee Garrity moved to defer the item until the ordinance language could be clearly stated, and
Tmstee Johnson seconded. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS (ZBA 20-01), Variation of Corner
Side Yard Setback (ZBA 20-02), Variation to Increase Lot Coverage (ZBA 20-03),
Variation to Allow a Fence in Corner Side Yard (ZBA 20-04), Variation to Allow a Fence
Closer to the Street - Johanna Corbin, Applicant - 309 Forest Lane
President Weppler recused himself due to the fact that the petitioner's attorney is related to him
and he asked Trustee Johnson to step in as Mayor Pro Tem.
President Pro-Tem Johnson explained that the property owner at 309 Forest Lane was requesting
variations to allow construction of a pool, pool deck, and fencing to the west of the existing
single-family home. The variations were requested due to the lot location fronting on three
streets. The Zoning Board of Appeals heard the requests at the meetings of May 11, 2020 and
June 22, 2020. During the course of the hearing, the petitioner lessened a setback variation for
the pool by moving the stmcture further to the east and addressed lot coverage issues by
proposing to eliminate the driveway at the corner ofLinden Lane and Forest Lane.
Although the petitioner was proposing to maintain approximately the same amount of lot
coverage as existing, members of the Zoning Board of Appeals expressed support for the project,
subject to meeting the lot coverage for the site. At the conclusion of the hearing, the following
motions were voted upon:
• Reduce the comer side yard setback from 30 feet to approximately 18.6 feet.
Approved 5 - 0
• Increase the maximum permitted lot coverage from 40% to approximately 40.2%.
Denied 1 - 4
• Allow a fence to be located in the comer side yard beyond the rear building line.
Approved 5-0
• Allow a fence to be located closer to the street than the front yard established for the
abutting lot.
Approved 5 - 0
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/July 14, 2020
Page 4
In summary, the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the project, subject to
compliance with the maximum permitted lot coverage. President Pro-Tem Johnson asked for
questions and comments.
Representing the applicant. Attorney Sean Weppler explained the changes to the request. Based
on Village recommendations, the design was as close to conforming as was possible. The lot
coverage would be reduced even though it would still be over the permitted coverage. The
impervious surface would be reduced. The fence would be three feet closer to the building.
Trustee Johnson asked if the design could achieve 40% lot coverage, and Attorney Weppler said
that it had previously been 46% and was reduced to 40.2%. Tmstee Johnson asked for the
design to reflect 40%.
Trustee Adams stated that the lot was overbuilt, and the area constantly floods during rain
events. Any overbuilding would impact the entire neighborhood. He asked for the 40%
coverage to be met. Attorney Weppler stated that engineering would reduce runoff and would
provide potential for more help with flooding. Trustees Garrity, Moras, and Carey concurred
with the 40% lot coverage. Tmstee Adams also expressed concern with traffic issues during
heavy traffic volume in and out of the high school.
ZBA 20-01

REPORT OF THE PLAN COMMISSION (PC 20-21), Amendment to the Village of
Libertyville Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (PC 20-22), Amendment to the
Village of Libertyville Zoning Map - Dr. David Honey, Applicant - 1441 N. Milwaukee
Avenue
President Weppler explained that Dr. David Honey requested an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and an amendment to the Zoning Map to allow for
the future construction of a dentist office at 1441 N. Milwaukee Avenue.
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on the requests on June 22, 2020. The proposed
zoning classification change is from R-8, Multiple Family Residential District to C-3, General
Commercial District. Members debated the merits of the proposal with differing views being
stated as C-3 is inconsistent with zoning in this area along the western side of Milwaukee
Avenue. Other Commissioners saw the proposal as a possible extension of the land uses that
may be developed to the south on the Lake County property. The Commission noted that the
proposal is conceptual and that if a zoning classification change was approved, the applicant
would be required to proceed through the development review process.
Motions to recommend Village Board of Trustees approval of the change to the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map and the zoning classification change from R-8 to C-3 failed with votes of 3 -
2. Although a majority of members voted in favor of the proposals, four (4) members voting in
favor is necessary for a positive recommendation. Accordingly, the recommendation was for
denial of the requests. President Weppler then asked for questions and comments.
President Weppler noted that there had once been a doctor's office on the property. Tmstee
Johnson asked for clarification on where this use would fit in the Comprehensive Plan. Director
of Community Development John Spoden explained that with the development of the County
Property becoming residential use, this property would also be proposed residential. Trustee
Adams stated that the office would be an appropriate use since there is mixed use on the east side
of Milwaukee Avenue. Tmstee Moms stated his support for the request. Trustee Johnson,
noting the new office on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue, stated her support. Trustee Carey
concurred with Tmstee Adams.
Trustee Adams moved to approve the Amendment to the Village of Libertyville Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use (PC 20-21), and Trustee Johnson seconded. President Weppler asked for
further comments and there was none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

REPORT OF THE PLAN COMMISSION (PC 20-17), Amendment to the Village of
Libertyville Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (PC 20-18), Amendment to the
Planned Development Final Plan (PC 20-19), Preliminary Plat of Subdivision - 45 Peterson,
LLC, Applicant - 1800,1850, and 1950 N. U.S. Highway 45
President Weppler explained that the Village of Libertyville, Midwest Industrial Funds, and
Peterson45, LLC together were requesting an amendment to the Planned Development for the
Libertyville Sports Complex property at the northeast comer of Route 45 and Peterson Road.
The amendment would allow for the existing indoor Sports Complex to operate with additional
parking, construction of two industrial/warehouse buildings to the south, and development of a
commercial parcel on the comer.
Plans were submitted for concept approval and reviewed by the Plan Commission at a public
hearing on June 22, 2020. At the hearing, the Commission reviewed conceptual site plans and
elevations, stormwater management plans, and discussed traffic impact along with site
circulation.
The Commission reviewed the proposal which included adding 113 parking spaces (including
land banked spaces) to the Sports Complex site, construction of two (2), 165,000+ square foot
industrial buildings with an interior truck dock, and a gas service station. The Commission
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/July 14, 2020
Page 7
discussed the layout and traffic circulation and requested that at Final Plan that the Village revisit
the pedestrian connection from the expanded rear parking lot of the Sports Complex and to
provide a funding study for a traffic signal at the Route 45 entrance opposite Tempel Drive.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend Village
Board of Trustees approval of the project, subject to the development conditions listed in the
attached Report of the Plan Commission. Director of Community Development John Spoden
reviewed the process. Pat Schaner of Midwest Industrial Funds and Tom Williams of
45Peterson, LLC attended virtually. President Weppler asked for questions and comments. He
noted that he liked the proposal.
Trustee Johnson asked for clarification of costs to maintain Pond A per the exhibit, and Village
Engineer Jeff Cooper stated that costs had been taken into consideration, and it was not a large
number. Mr. Schaner explained that there would be 1-4 tenants who would use buildings for
warehousing and distribution, light manufacturing, and truck traffic would be determined by use.
Trustee Moras stated that the process should continue. Trustee Justice stated that the concept
was positive. Trustee Adams asked for clarification of the parking and expressed concern with
entry to the building from a back parking lot. He also asked about occupancy rates. Heather
Rowe, Economic Development Coordinator stated that industrial occupancy is low for Lake
County. Mr. Schaner stated that these proposed buildings would offer great heights and numbers
of loading docks. Trustee Adams stated that he liked the project. Tmstee Garrity stated that he
liked that the stormwater management had been addressed, and he hoped that the joint parking
would work out, and favored a possible east entrance to the Sports Complex.
Resident Sheri Rocco expressed concern about increased storm water flow from the development
and significant error in increased flooding.
Resident Dan Gunther expressed concern with storm water flowing into his neighborhood and
asked for assurance that the flow would be decreased.
Resident Christine Geiselhart, stated that she appreciated Director Spoden's information and that
she had attended the Plan Commission meeting. She expressed concern with excess storm water
with the loss of impervious surface. She also asked if there was a problem with the functioning
of the discharge pipe. Jeff Cooper stated that the pipe had been checked and found in good
repair. Ms. Geiselhart also expressed concern with the proposed widening of Route 137/83 and
the impact on excess storm water with additional hard surfaces. Jeff Cooper stated that each
development must consider its stormwater management.
Director Spoden explained that the vote this evening would only approve preliminary plans.
President Weppler added that this would secure the right for the developers to move forward
developing final plans. Trustee Moras stated that this was very preliminary and would give
assurance to the developers that they can move forward and develop engineering and provide
documentation prior to approval.

ORDINANCE NO. 20-0-47: An Ordinance Extending a Waiver of Enforcement of
Certain Sections of the Libertyville Zoning Code as it Relates to Outdoor Dining
President Weppler noted that on May 26, 2020 the Village Board approved an Ordinance
allowing for the temporary waiver of certain sections of the Libertyville Zoning Code to address
the accommodations made under Phase 3 of the RESTORE ILLINOIS PLAN. The temporary
waiver of the zoning requirements was related to outdoor seating in order to comply with the
changes to Phase 3 of the RESTORE ILLINOIS PLAN.
Since approval of the Ordinance, numerous restaurants have applied for and received outdoor
dining permits. Given that the Phase 4 RESTORE ILLLNOIS PLAN restricts occupancy for
indoor dining, Staff recommended extending the waiver of enforcement until November 1, 2020.
This will give restaurants the ability to continue to maximize their seating capabilities with a
combination of outdoor and indoor dining.
Staff recommended adoption of the Ordinance to extend the waiver of zoning codes to
accommodate outdoor dining changes in order to support the local restaurants. President
Weppler asked for questions or comments and there were none.
Trustee Garrity moved to approve the ordinance extending a Waiver of Enforcement of Certain
Sections of the Libertyville Zoning Code as it relates to Outdoor Dining. Trustee Carey
seconded. President Weppler asked for comments and there were none. The motion carried on

this year. (Note: This project was not included on the list of temporarily deferred capital items
due to COVID-19 that was presented to the Committee of the Whole on April 21, 2020.)

for the 2020 Watermain Replacement Program in the amount of $780,617.00 and authorized
execution by the Village Administrator. President Weppler then asked for questions.
