Sworn in to present the petition was Mr. William J. Heniff, AICP,
Director of Community Development, Jennifer Ganser, Assistant
Director of Community Development, Ms. Jana Bryant, Private
Development Engineer and the petitioners, Jay Eck and Bill Schank of
Bradford Real Estate, Dan Ferrell, V.P. of Real Estate for Roundy’s
Supermarkets, Inc., d/b/a Mariano’s, Tracy Richard of Manhard
Consulting, LTD., Domenic Pezzuto of Camburas & Theodore Ltd.,
and Kevin Clark the Landscape Architect.
Chairperson Ryan read the Plan Commissions procedures and asked
if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine, and,
hearing none, he proceeded with the petition.
Mr. Eck, Principal of Bradford Real Estate, started the presentation
with a background of Bradford Real Estate. He said that Bradford
Village of Lombard Page 2
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
Real Estate is a private development company in business for over 25
years. They have developed more than 11 million square feet of retail
development throughout the Chicagoland area. They have
constructed nine Mariano’s grocery stores. He presented the site plan
and explained they are proposing to demolish the current Kmart and
build a 74,000 square foot Mariano’s store. They have incorporated a
pharmacy drive thru and a gas station on the northeast corner of the
site. There will be over 400 parking spaces. They are going to raise
the pad two feet that the store will be built on in order to balance the
site and eliminate the ponding issues. Most of the access points will
remain the same with a few modifications. On the northeast corner of
the property line, they have proposed to IDOT, along with the Village,
a new traffic signal for a left in, left out and right out access. The
secondary access point adjacent to the Mobil gas station is currently a
full access point but they are proposing to IDOT a right in and right out
access. He reviewed the proposed wall signage consisting of the
shopping center identification, two directional signs and one
monument sign.
Mr. Eck then introduced Mr. Ferrell from Mariano’s. Mr. Ferrell stated
that there are 37 stores in Illinois. All of the Mariano’s are different,
and they don’t do prototypes. He said they show their strength in
ground up development. He noted there is a Mariano’s in Wheaton,
Naperville, Westmont and Elmhurst. He explained that in 2015
Mariano’s was acquired by Kroger and that they are still in the
transition phase. He referenced the site plan and that the drive thru
pharmacy and gas stations are new for Mariano’s. He said one of the
goals of Kroger is to incorporate those services into Mariano’s so they
can provide a one stop shop. They are on pace to open four to five
stores a year. Mr. Mariano has created the term “Grocerant” which is
a combination of a grocery store and a restaurant. The stores have
specialty areas such as wood fired pizza, sushi, gelato, coffee, and
quick grab and go foods. He said this encourages customers to dine
and stay in the store. He explained that they use recessed receiving
docks so there is no outside loading. Sealed compactors are used for
the trash and therefore there are no dumpsters.
Mr. Ferrell introduced Mr. Pezzuto, the architect of store. Mr. Pezzuto
explained the design firm has created at least 15 stores for Mariano’s
and that this store is the best design yet. He reviewed the elevations
and the materials used on each side. He said the architectural style is
modern with classic materials that will stand the test of time. He
passed around a materials board for the Commissioner’s to review.
He noted that the roofs design acts as a screen to hide all of the
mechanical equipment. In follow up to staff’s request, they are
planning to enhance the back of the building with different color brick
and textures.

Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Mr. Stephen Chacko said he is the business owner of the Mobil gas
station at 435 W. Roosevelt Road. He said he is happy to see a
Mariano’s but at the same time he is not happy to see another gas
station. He said he as seven more years on his lease with Kmart. He
said he hopes the Village doesn’t allow another fuel center in the
same parking lot because he feels it will affect his business.
Mr. Michael Biscan asked what the rationale is for having another fuel
station when there is already a fuel center 500 yards to the west.
Mr. Ferrell explained the fuel station is an addition of the grocery store
providing a convenience to the customers that Kroger expects. He
said that at other Kroger locations there is 3rd party fuel stations
located nearby by and both have survived. He stated that is not their
intent to go after the fuel stations business.
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment.
Chairperson Ryan asked for the staff report.
Mr. Heniff, Director of Community Development, presented the staff
report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety.
Mr. Heniff noted that the Village’s traffic consultant, Javiar Millan from
KLOA, Inc., was in the audience to answer any questions relative
traffic circulation or possible improvements to Roosevelt and Finley
Road. He stated that this petition is for a contract purchase for real
estate to raze the vacant Kmart store and re-engineer the site to build
a 74,000 square foot Mariano’s grocery store.
Mr. Heniff referenced the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and noted
that since the Roosevelt Road Corridor Study was done in 2007, this
is the largest Planned Development to come forth for the corridor. He
said the petitioner is meeting the standards through this
redevelopment set forth in the document. The proposal is consistent
with these documents as it intends to address a vacant store on a
non-conforming property by creating a holistic approach to
redevelopment that strengthens the design aesthetic of the corridor.
Staff finds the project would be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan’s goals and objectives as well at the Roosevelt Road Corridor
study.
Village of Lombard Page 4
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
Mr. Heniff stated that several actions need to be taken or addressed
as part of this petition. Ordinance 6099 established a conditional use
for a planned development with companion conditional uses for motor
vehicle repair and outdoor display and sales of materials along with
deviations for wall signage. This action was done in 2007 in an effort
to bring the site into code compliance and to address outdoor sales
and a proposed ancillary automotive service facility that was going to
re-occupy a former auto repair bay that was located within the existing
Kmart building. While the auto service use never proceeded, the
outdoor sales continued to take place. Given the wholesale nature of
the redevelopment, revocation of Ordinance 6099 is deemed to be the
most prudent alternative to the project going forward.
In regards to the conditional uses, Mr. Heniff noted that a proposed
gas station is to be located on the subject property but was not
depicted on the same tract as the grocery store. The proposed
gasoline sales facility is to be located within the northeastern portion
of the site abutting Roosevelt Road and within the proposed outlot.
Specific plans, building elevations and design parameters have not
been developed for the gas station to date as the concept is new for
Mariano’s, but they are seeking the legal rights to advance the
concept in the future. As the proposed gasoline sales facility is
complimentary to the proposed principal use on the property, staff can
support the requested conditional use for gasoline sales. The
petitioner would like to secure the right for a new station at this time,
with the possibility of corner lot redevelopment at a later date.
Mr. Heniff referred to the conditional use for outside display and sales
of products and that the petitioner has identified several locations. Mr.
Heniff referenced the elevation diagram highlighting the areas that
could be utilized for outside seating and dining activities as well as a
point of purchase location where store products and items such as
bulk items and plants can be sold. He said that as with several other
large retailers within the Village, staff finds that a conditional use for
the outside display and sales of products is common and can support
such a request. He pointed out the plan also depicts a drive-through
lane for pharmacy pick-up purposes. As is common practice with
many modern grocery stores with a pharmacy component, Mr. Heniff
explained the drive-through element is deemed to be a convenience
element associated with this use. As the stacking would only occur on
the subject property it would readily accommodate the queuing
demand anticipated for the facility, it can be supported.
Regarding the requested variation to not require foundation
landscaping along the south, west and north perimeter walls, Mr.
Heniff said the aesthetic provision is intended to increase landscaping
around commercial building perimeters. In consideration of the extent
Village of Lombard Page 5
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
of building foundation area that will be occupied by either outside
display and sales areas, the pedestrian entrance or the loading dock,
staff recognizes the petitioner’s desire to provide landscaping in an
area where it will have the most noticeable positive aesthetic impact.
Additionally, creating foundation landscaping along the south
foundation wall would result in a decrease in perimeter landscaping,
which is generally deemed to be more valued and supplements the
screening activity. In light of these considerations, the relief can be
supported.
To address the variation from of the Lombard Zoning Ordinance to not
fully screen loading berths from a public street, Mr. Heniff explained
the intent is to minimize any structures that can be deemed to be an
aesthetic detriment to the site. The proposed loading berth will be
situated in a similar manner as the existing locating dock on the
vacant Kmart building, which is directly visible to Roosevelt Road. An
alternative option would be to place it on the south side of the building,
however this location could result in a greater visual and noise impact
on the adjacent condominiums. The petitioner noted that the loading
dock area will not have any outside trash enclosure activities. Given
the existing site constraints, staff can support the relief.
Mr. Heniff addressed the variation to allow for informational
(directional) signage. He explained the Sign Ordinance has a conflict
between the directional signage requirements which states that they
should be located at the entrance driveways. However the clear line
of sight provisions limit the height of any structures to no more than
two feet in height. For clarity, this request was added to the petition to
confirm that the directional signs, that are 4.5 square feet in area, can
be placed at the western entrance along Roosevelt Road as well as
the north entrance off of Finley Road.
Regarding the Site Plan Review, Mr. Heniff noted that KLOA prepared
a Traffic Impact Study for the development. He said the petitioner will
be seeking approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation
(IDOT) of a new traffic signal to be located along Roosevelt Road at
the eastern entrance. This request is currently under review by IDOT.
Additionally, the Village is reviewing double left hand turns on the
north and south approaches of Finley Road.
In reference to the building materials and elevations, Mr. Heniff said
staff recommended that the south elevation, which faces the adjacent
residential properties, be modified by breaking up the block mass and
integrating other materials. He said the petitioner did note that they
are incorporating a second masonry color, banding, and reveals.
Mr. Heniff explained the signage package that was submitted. The
Village of Lombard Page 6
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
proposed wall signage sign does meet code requirements and is
consistent with the signage packages commonly found at other
Mariano’s establishments. Mr. Heniff said that subsequent to the
filing, the petitioner has been refining the signage package with
Mariano’s. They may seek to modify the plan to incorporate the
monument sign as a free standing shopping center sign as this would
be designed to meet code.
Mr. Heniff said there will be modern parking lot lighting and referenced
the light plan exhibit that was included in the packet. He also noted
that the total amount of open space will be between 17% and 19% of
the project that will be achieved through site reengineering and
landscaping.
In regard to the Plat of Resubdivision, Mr. Heniff said that this is to
memorialize the planned development project. The petitioner is
seeking approval of a Plat of Resubdivision to create a larger corner
lot at the Mobil site, which could provide for future redevelopment.
The other outlot is being established to accommodate the other gas
station or future retail use. The main parcel will be for the Mariano’s
lot itself.
Discussing the Site Plan Approval Authority, Mr. Heniff stated that
code provides the opportunity for the Plan Commission to review and
approve phased development activity associated with planned
development so if there are any changes Plan Commission has the
authority to ensure that subsequent phases of development are
consistent with the intent of the initial approvals.
Mr. Heniff concluded by stating that staff recommends approval of PC
16-09 subject to the seven (7) conditions in the staff report. He noted
there was one formal correspondence from Dania Furniture in support
of the petition.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Olbrysh stated the construction of the Mariano’s would
be a positive addition to Lombard. He asked about the parking stating
that the store in Wheaton always seems to be packed. He also asked
about the square footage of the Wheaton store. Mr. Eck said the
Wheaton store is about 72,000 square feet. Commissioner Olbrysh
asked if this store is going to have enough parking. Mr. Eck said there
would be enough parking. Commissioner Olbrysh asked where would
the employee’s park. Mr. Ferrell explained the Wheaton store did have
some site constraints but that they are very comfortable with the
parking ratio at the Lombard store.
Village of Lombard Page 7
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
Commissioner Olbrysh asked why they changed the location of the
loading berth. Mr. Ferrell said they really try to be good neighbors.
He explained that this allows the noise to be directed toward
Roosevelt Road and since the berths are enclosed, the view from
Roosevelt would not be obnoxious. Commissioner Olbrysh stated he
was very happy to hear about the regrading and thought it was a very
good plan.
Commissioner Burke noted the change in materials of the south wall
and that in the report it is mentioned the fuel station would be directed
back to the Plan Commission for approval. He said both items should
be added to the conditions for approval. Mr. Heniff explained the
materials are noted in condition 7(b). Condition six (6) discusses the
general site plan approval but for clarity the gas station could be
added.
Chairperson Ryan asked about the double turning lanes from Finley
Road. He asked if the decision was up to IDOT. Mr. Heniff said that
Finley Road is a Village street. KLOA’s analysis makes a
recommendation to IDOT.
Commissioner Flint asked if the signal on Roosevelt Road would be
approved by IDOT. Mr. Heniff explained it is still under review and
that they met with IDOT several weeks ago. He said they want to get
the matter resolved before the Village Board takes a final action.
Commissioner Sweetser also asked about the traffic signal. Mr.
Heniff explained that if the signal is in the conditions of approval, it
doesn’t necessarily mean that IDOT would approve it. If the signal
doesn’t get approved it won’t preclude the project from moving
forward.
Chairperson Ryan asked if there were any other comments, questions
or concerns.
Commissioner Mrofcza asked if the Commission should verbalize the
changes to be made in conditions five and six.
Commissioner Sweetser said the word “for” should be added to
condition five.
Commissioner Burke and Mr. Heniff suggested for condition six adding
“subject to final site review and approval by the Plan Commission at
such time that the final plans for the outlot development, or any other
development on the tract, materializes”.

160199 PC 16-08: 400, 406, 412, 420, and 440 S. Finley Road, Single
Family Subdivision
Requests that the Village take the following actions on the subject
property located within the R1 Single-Family Residence District:
1. Approve a Map Amendment rezoning the entire property back
to the R2 Single-Family Residence District;
2. Approve a variation from Section 154.304 (D)(3) and Section
154.305 (D)(3)(b) to eliminate the sidewalk from the new
roadway westward on the south side of Hickory Street at lot 6;
and
3. Approve a Major Plat of Subdivision. (DISTRICT # 1)
Sworn in to present the petition was Mr. William Heniff, Director of
Community Development, Jennifer Ganser, Assistant Director of
Community Development, Ms. Jana Bryant, Private Development
Engineer and the petitioners, Mr. Jim Caneff of Roake & Associates,
Mr. Greg Sagen of Signature Design Group, and Mr. David Cumming
of Pulte Homes.
Chairperson Ryan read the Plan Commissions procedures and asked
if anyone other than the petitioner intended to cross examine, and,
hearing none, he proceeded with the petition.
Mr. Cumming gave an overview of the presentation and of Pulte
Homes. He noted they are the contract purchaser of the site. It is
approximately five (5) acres and zoned R1. To the south and west is
CR zoning, to the east and north is single family residential. He said
they are proposing a rezoning to R2 and a plat of subdivision to
sixteen (16) lots. Mr. Cumming said all lots meet and exceed the bulk
requirements. Two lots will contain comp storage. Hickory Street will
be improved to Village standards. He mentioned the variance for a
reduced sidewalk along lot 6. Mr. Caneff then discussed the existing
conditions of the site with 30% impervious. With the proposed
improvements and the proposed detention, he said there will be 47%
impervious. He discussed the comp storage and detention as it
relates to the DuPage County Stormwater Ordinance. He noted that
additional storage is being provided on the site. Preliminary
discussions have occurred with the DuPage County Stormwater
Department. Next, Mr. Sagen noted the shade trees, ornamental
trees, and evergreen trees. He said parkway trees will be added in
the development and along Hickory Street. Trees will be 2.5 inches
caliper. He said they are willing to provide parkway trees on the north
side of Hickory as well. He discussed the detention basins and their
Village of Lombard Page 10
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
landscaping. All are designed to meet DuPage County’s
requirements. He discussed a common concern of increased
mosquitos but noted that the extra water also brings extra predators
for mosquitos which make for no net impact. He referred to the basin
cross sections to show how they would look and where the proposed
plantings would go. Mr. Cumming discussed architecture and said
they are proposing four models. All homes will have full basements.
He discussed the interior features and showed pictures of three
potential elevations.
Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or
against this petition, or for public comment. Mr. Louis Capra asked if
the homes will be part of the flood zone and if this development takes
into account the previous flooding in the area. Mr. Kurt Langworthy
noted the detention area floods consistently. He asked how high the
berm will be compared to the current elevations. He asked if the
detention will be combined with the existing Lombard storm sewer
drain system. Mr. Caneff said the comp storage is a continuation of
the flood plain. He noted they are providing for double the comp
storage required. He said the detention is for run off on their site and
is in excess of what is required. The County has required a backflow
preventer. He said the berm will be more of a depressional area in
order to provide detention. He added that the site will add 50,000
square feet of impervious coverage and they are providing for 2.8 acre
feet of storage. He said they will be helping the situation.
Chairperson Ryan asked for the staff report.
Ms. Ganser presented the staff report, which was submitted to the
public record in its entirety. She said the petitioner proposes a new
single-family subdivision with sixteen (16) homes using the R2 zoning
district. A preliminary plat will be reviewed by the Plan Commission
with the final plat going before the Village Board of Trustees, unless
there are major changes to the site plan. They are also asking for the
Village to approve a variation from Section 154.304 (D)(3) and Section
154.305 (D)(3)(b) to eliminate the sidewalk from the new roadway
westward on the south side of Hickory Street at lot 6 The subject
properties are currently owned by DuPage County Health Department.
The crisis care center and four (4) single family homes would be
demolished. Both engineering and Public Works had comments,
which will be addressed. Staff finds the proposed subdivision to be
consistent with the surrounding zoning and land uses. Pulte plans on
developing all sixteen (16) lots. Lots are not intended to be available
for individual developer and purchases. The site and requests are
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Low Density
Residential. As the property is currently rezoned R1, single-family
homes could be built by right per the R1 bulk requirements. She
Village of Lombard Page 11
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
noted the petitioner is requesting a rezoning from R1 to R2. Staff
notes that but for the subject properties, the remainder of the
residences in the area are zoned R2. The site was rezoned to R1
from R2 in 1981 through PC 81-12. The Plan Commission noted two
findings of fact on the rezoning:
1. other property owned by the College was zoned R1; and
2. the property must be rezoned to R1 to be utilized as part of the
College, because the appropriate conditional use for a
non-boarding College is only listed in the R1 district.
Ms. Ganser said one variance is being requested, which has staff
support. The sidewalk from the new roadway westward on the south
side of Hickory Street at lot 6 is proposed to be eliminated. This
sidewalk would not lead to another sidewalk or street. Furthermore,
Pulte will be installing sidewalks in the remainder of the development
as well as the opposite side of Hickory Street.
Ms. Ganser said this division is considered a major plat of subdivision
as it is greater than one (1) acre in size. Therefore the project must be
reviewed and approved by the Plan Commission and Village Board of
Trustees. As no variances are being granted for the existing
buildings, the final plat will be approved by the Board of Trustees at a
later date subject to final engineering and the demolition of the
existing buildings. The final plat will not appear before the Plan
Commission again, unless there are major changes to the plat. Pulte
has one (1) year to have the final plat approved.
Regarding stormwater, the plan shows 2.8 acre feet of detention being
provided and reviewed by both DuPage County and the Village. The
extra detention is above and beyond what currently exists on the site
today.
Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none,
opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Sweetser noted that the college was called the Midwest
College of Engineering. Mr. Heniff noted that Jana Bryant is in the
audience for any questions. Commissioner Sweetser asked if
together with the existing facilities and the proposed facilities, would
the volume of water on Finley, in the past, be taken care of. Ms.
Bryant noted it won’t solve the problem and the street will most likely
continue to flood. Chairman Ryan asked if this would add to the
flooding or ease it. Ms. Bryant said it won’t make it worse than it is
now. She noted Pulte calculated the run off and it shows a significant
reduction. She said it will release less water at a slower rate.
Commissioner Flint said he hopes the situation would be improved.
Chairman Ryan noted that adding extra homes, the situation won’t
Village of Lombard Page 12
Plan Commission Minutes May 16, 2016
worsen. Commissioner Mrofcza asked about the eight (8) foot
basements and any continued flooding. Mr. Caneff said the base
elevation now is 688 and the homes will have a top of foundation of
695. If the sump pumps are discharging there will be 4.5 feet between
the top of foundation and the predicted high water elevation.
A motion was made by Commissioner Burke, seconded by Commissioner Flint,
to recommend to the Corporate Authorities approval of this petition subject to
following two (2) conditions.
1. The petitioner shall develop the site in accordance with the plans submitted
as part of this request from Roake and Associates, Inc. and Signature Design
Group; and
2. The petitioner shall apply for and receive final engineering approval from
DuPage County and the Village. Upon such approval, the petitioner shall
submit a final plat for Village Board approval and recording.
