Objection Email - Fisher Sworn in Staff: Ben Vyverberg Sworn in Petitioner: Greg Rose - GWR Enterprises, Inc. - 47 N Bothwell St., Palatine, IL & Tim Spies of Spies & Associates - 534 W Campus Dr., Arlington Heights, IL Mr. Rose explains that the property at 52 W Colfax Street is dilapidated. The existing property is 132 X 132 in dimension. He is proposing (4) modest single family homes; three that would face Brockway Street and one that would face Colfax Street. The sizes would range from 2000 to 2800 square feet. He states the homes design would be smaller and acknowledge the aesthetic look and feel of the surrounding neighborhood. Exterior materials would be natural looking, not vinyl and would blend with the existing area. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2 Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023 The new modest homes are modest, but will not be boxy. Renovating the existing residence may appear to be desirable but it’s not salvageable from a financial aspect. He states that it’s an interesting home but it’s beyond repair. He explains that the property is larger than the property to the south and requests support of this project. Mr. Rose presents elevations of the proposed properties. He states he grew up in Palatine and has built 80 homes in the Village. He is vested in the area and is working on something appropriate for the downtown area. Mr. Kolososki asks if the Petitioner would considered (2) houses on the property. Mr. Rose states they would not. He believes the homes proposed fit well with the downtown area and the Village’s vision. He states that another consideration would be townhomes but that would make it less desirable than his proposed plan. Mr. Friedman questions the elevations and asks if there will be any other presentation than entry door/garage, entry door/garage at the street level. Mr. Rose states garages are set back and it becomes a challenge when the homes are 30’ Wide. Mr. Bettenhausen asks about the storm water retention. Mr. Spies anticipates 48” storm sewers that would be installed behind lots 1 thru 3 and discharge would be at Brockway. It would be reviewed in Final Engineering. Mr. Bettenhausen expressed concern about the close proximity of the storm sewer to the house along the north side of Lot 1 and asked if there is enough room to access the sewer for maintenance and repairs. Could the storm sewer be relocated between the houses of Lots 1&2 or 2&3? Mr. Spies responded that he believes there is enough room along Lot 1 but will review other alternatives. Mr. Kolososki asked if there will be windows on the side elevations of the homes. Mr. Rose states there would be. Mr. Fedota asks about the 2nd floor egress plan with the slider door in the back. He state that the 5’ setback on either side of houses is proposed and limits the space. This doesn’t allow exposure at the rear of house or use of the backdoor. Mr. Kolososki states there is no reason to use the back door. There is nowhere to go. Mr. Bettenhausen also states there is nowhere to go. Mr. Rose states a paver patio would be an option off the slider door and could be comfortable in a small area. Staff Statement: VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 3 Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023 Mr. Vyverberg states the subject property was previously operated as a chiropractic office and personal residence. He presents photos of surrounding properties, with a view of the surrounding are. He explains the Zoning in the area and states the subject lot is currently zoned as R-3. Under the current proposed development, 3 lots would have driveway access to Colfax Street and one lot to Brockway street with a 2-car garage and driveway parking available. He states the lots provide comparable setbacks in the area. He states the surrounding neighborhood is completely developed, with all of the required infrastructure and utilities available. The Village Code would require both volume control and storm water detention for this property and parkway trees would need to be installed. Mr. Dwyer reads into record and summarizes opposing emails that have been received. They state that they have lived in the area for many years and it has many historic homes. The proposed plan is inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood and request the petition be denied. Resident: Mr. Doug Wickley 242 N Brockway St States his concern regarding drainage, aesthetics & driveway access. Mr. Tom Hargove 260 N Brockway St States he’s been in Palatine since 1985. He acknowledged that the existing house is not salvageable. He has concerns regarding the driveways and states the side setbacks are so small that the fire department could probably not pitch a ladder there. He also is concerned with the removal of the mature trees. He believes the proposed plan is too dense of a development. He also states his concern regarding the storm water. Mr. Dwyer states that the water would not run off any faster than it does right now. Mr. Hargrove states it currently collects now and it doesn’t run into the storm water. Mr. Vyverberg states there needs to be additional details reviewed and would be addressed by engineering prior to final plan review. Mr. Hargrove states it is just too much house on too small of a lot. Mr. Nathan Eder 234 N Plum Grove Rd States he is there to acknowledge that another historic home will be torn down in Palatine. He shares some history of the home and states the home was built in 1890 and is a piece of Palatine history. He’d like the village to VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 4 Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023 consider the vision for the downtown area. Demolishing the historic buildings on larger lots to make way for new builds with minimal setbacks, and removing the large established trees that contribute to the neighborhood’s character and eco system could change the downtown landscape and would cease to exist forever. History is important to Palatine’s downtown future. He requests to keep the vision of the unique, charming downtown Palatine in consideration while deciding the future of this property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This area of the Village maintains varying land uses (attached multi-family, single-family homes, non-conforming duplexes, detached single-family with a shared central drive, condominiums, and apartment uses). While the Future Land Use envisioned a continued medical office use, Staff believes the proposed is a compatible land use and site plan to incorporate into the area. By utilizing the existing street system and providing direct driveway access for each lot, the existing single-family land use patterns will continue for this property. And, the proposed front yard and corner side yard setbacks align with the surrounding properties. Although the rear yard setbacks are narrower that the Code may require, Lot 4 provides a 50-foot setback and works to comparably with the surrounding setbacks to the east. The proposed elevations and materials should also align with the existing elevations in the neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Planned Development, subject to the following conditions: 1. All extra agency permits shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 2. The Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost (EEOPC) shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 3. Review fees, based upon the finally accepted EEOPC shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 4. The Final Architectural Plans shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Development/Planning and Zoning, including the final material quantities and distribution. The final separation of the dwellings shall comply with the IRC R-302, in a manner acceptable to the Director of Fire Prevention. 5. The Final Engineering Plans shall be submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer and shall include both volume control and stormwater detention. 6. The Final Landscaping Plan shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan should review the ability to maintain any of the existing healthy trees within the property. 7. A Public Improvement letter of credit in an amount of 115% of the approved EEOPC, for said public improvements, shall be submitted in a VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 5 Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023 manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 8. A Planned Development Letter of Credit in the amount of $40,000 - ($10,000/unit, per Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance) shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning. 9. If required, a Final Plat of Subdivision shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer and Director of Planning and Zoning. As determined by the Village Attorney, the HOA declarations shall be submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Attorney. 10. A construction management plan shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning and the Village Engineer and shall outline the proposed development schedule and identify the material delivery routes and proposed parking areas for the contractors, in conjunction with the building permit application submission. Mr. Dwyer asks for clarification on condition #9 - final plat of subdivision will be required. Mr. Vyverberg clarifies. Mr. Dwyer asks Mr. Rose if he accepts the conditions. Mr. Rose states they do accept the conditions. Mr. Richard Riva 210 N Bothwell Street States he prefers to see 3 houses on the property and have driveway access to the rear. Mr. Noonan made a motion to close the public hearing. 2nd by Mr. Friedman. Discussion: Mr. Kolososki states that access for fire trucks is difficult to maneuver, even with sprinkler systems and 1 hour walls. Mr. Dwyer states there are similar small homes on Colfax and sprinkler systems and smoke detectors are only good if maintained. He states the proposal is compatible to properties to south and west but not to the north and east. He feels this is not the place for this proposed development. It is too dense for this property. Mr. Friedman states the zoning for this property could have a multi-family usage as it is zoned now. Mr. Fedota states underlying zoning at Plum Grove and Colfax is also zoned R2 as well. Mr. Vyverberg states it may have been used as an office use at one time. Mr. Dwyer states comprehensive plan shows what is there now or what is desired. Mr. Noonan states he is sad to see a historic house leave but acknowledges it VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6 Minutes Plan Commission March 21, 2023 is beyond repair. He feels that the proposed plan is too much for the property. Mr. Fedota states that parking is lost on the east side of Brockway. Maximum 1 car length on driveway and no parking on the street. Mr. Kolososki also feels the plan is too much for this lot. Mr. Friedman believes that even changing the plan from 4 homes to 3 would still present 3 skinny deep lots. Mr. Noonan states that with 2 or 3 homes there might be a chance that the trees could be saved. Mr. Fedota states 2 homes would fit more with the character of the downtown area. He also states that the finish might be different but the doors and garages do not fit the monotony code. Mr. Noonan made a motion to accept Case #PPD-000001-2023; seconded by Mr. Kolososki - Vote to accept was unanimously denied by a vote of 6-0. Mr. Dwyer summarized the vote to recommend denial was unanimously accepted by a vote of 6-0. This will tentatively go to Village council on Monday 4/10/23.

Tree Preservation 5. Elevation Example 6. Plat of Survey 7. Public Notice Sworn in Staff: Lyn Bremanis Sworn in Petitioner: Amir Rafidia, USA Developers and Josh Terpstra with Haeger Engineering. Mr. Terpstra provides background information on the subject property and explains the parcel is at the northwest corner of Dundee and North Haven Dr. It was previously unincorporated cook county and was annexed into the village of Palatine as R-1 single family residential. USA Developers is the new owner and seeking to subdivide the lots from one lot into four lots and rezone from R-1 to R- 2. Mr. Terpstra provides an overview of the site plan design and engineering design. He explains that they are seeking to rezone to the R-2 regulation. He states that the site plan meets or exceeds the zoning requirements for R-2. The 4 lots are proposed to have one single family residence on each lot with driveway access off the North Haven Drive cul-de-sac. He explains the engineering design also meets the Village of Palatine codes and requirements. There are outside agencies that have jurisdiction for this location. MWRD of Chicago controls the storm water management and sanitary, and Dundee Rd on the south is controlled by IDOT. The proposed lots will source the water and sanitary service from an existing sanitary and water lines that run beneath North Haven Drive. There is a proposed storm water management facility located at the SW corner of the southern 2 lots in the proposed development that which discharges to the existing storm sewer below North Haven Drive and will discharge to the wetland area north of the cul-de-sac which meets the existing drainage patterns of the site. The owner is aware that other agencies require permits and those permits must be obtained prior to the village approval. They’ve begun that process. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2 Packet Pg. 4 2.1 Minutes Plan Commission March 7, 2023 Mr. Bettenhausen questions the sequence of construction. He asks if the lots will be sold before the home is built or is the home being built on spec. Mr. Terpstra explains that USA Developers owns all four lots and will use all lots for themselves. Mr. Rafidia agrees and states that the homes will be occupied by family members. Mr. Bettenhausen asks if the driveways shown on the plans represent the actual build. Mr. Terpstra states the driveways will be built as represented. If there are any conflicts with the utilities it would be addressed with the architect. Mr. Fedota asks if there is any fencing planned for the flow control area. Mr. Terpstra states that USA developers owns the commercial property to the Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 7, 2023 7:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) west. The existing line of trees and landscaping to the west would be a separating factor from the commercial property and the residential property. Mr. Fedota asks if there is an HOA that would provide maintenance of the swale. Mr. Terpstra explains that there is a condition that the HOA would provide maintenance for the area and the easement. Mr. Fedota asks if there are any substantial changes from the preliminary. Mr. Terpstra states that there is not. Ms. Bremanis talks about the property being annexed in April of 2022. When annexed in, per code, it is automatically zoned as R-1. Rezoning it to R-2 was discussed during the preliminary planned development. She provides photographs of the existing conditions which illustrates the clearing of the lots that has been completed. She states the forestry division will verify any addtional trees being removed. Mr. Friedman asks if the road is a public road or part of the HOA. Ms. Bremanis states it is a public road. Resident: Steve Fishman 1585 North Haven Dr. Mr. Fishman states his concern regarding the new development. He is concerned about the additional traffic leaving the subdivision to exit onto Dundee Rd. He states adding four more houses would double the number of cars coming in and out of the area. It is already difficult to enter and exit onto Dundee Rd. He states that the street is narrow and is worried about street parking. He is concerned about congestion and the excess load to the sewer system. He questions how this will affect the existing homes on North Haven Dr. Ms. Bremanis addresses his concern regarding the narrow street and states that the village is aware of the street width. The Fire Marshall has reviewed and the west side of the street may be deemed as no parking. Parking will only be permitted on one side of the street to keep an open lane. In regards to the sewer system, the Village Engineer has reviewed the sewer system and approved for this proposed project. Ms. Bremanis offers the resident the opportunity to contact the engineer directly and will provide his information. VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 3 Packet Pg. 5 2.1 Minutes Plan Commission March 7, 2023 Mr. Dwyer asks Mr. Terpstra the size of the storm sewer system on North Haven Dr. Mr. Terpstra states he would have to check the TOPO plan but he believes it’s a 12” sewer. He states there is a proposed storm water management facility at the southwest corner of the proposed plan. Sanitary sewer and water services would be provided by connecting to existing services in the N. Haven Drive right of way. Mr. Fishman is also concerned about parking. He states there is currently limited parking and with the additional properties there is no room for guests to park on the street. Ms. Bremanis states that although the street is narrow, there should be room for additional parking within the resident’s driveways and on the street. Mr. Fishman reiterates his concerns regarding the limited parking. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Mar 7, 2023 7:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) Further discussion between resident and board members ensue regarding parking. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The final plat subdivision and rezoning to R-2 is consistent with the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision and Annexation approvals, Comprehensive Plan recommendations, and are comparable to the existing subdivision to the east.

ADJOURNMENT VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6 Packet Pg. 8 3.A.1 VILLAGE OF PALATINE Plan Commission SCHEDULED 03/21/23 07:00 PM CASE STAFF STATEMENT (ID # 8203) 52 W. Colfax Street CASE NUMBER: PPD – 000001-2023 PETITIONER: Greg Rose - GWR Enterprises, INC. LOCATION: 52 W. Colfax Street PROPOSAL: The Petitioner is seeking Preliminary Planned Development approval to allow for the development of 4 single-family residential lots and homes. ZONING AND LAND USE: The existing lot is zoned R-3 (multi-family) and contained a residential home, which previously operated as a chiropractic office, with the doctor residing on the property. The lot is .399-acres (17,409 square feet) and is located at the northeast corner of W. Colfax and N. Brockway Streets. This chiropractic office was a permitted use in the district, with the doctor residing at the residence. The previous use Page 1 Packet Pg. 9 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023 began its operations in approximately 1986 and continued until the recent past. The Subject Property is located in one of the oldest parts of the Village and was part of the initially platted lots in Downtown Palatine – SE ¼ SEC of Ante-Fire subdivision. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: North: R-2 - single family residential South: Planned Development - Stone Garden (5 units on .351 acres - 15,312 square feet or 14.24 units/acre). East: R-2 single-family residential West: Planned Development - Village Green townhomes (13 units on .971 acres or 13.38 units/acre). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Future Land Use map contemplates a continued non- residential office use for the Subject Property. Page 2 Packet Pg. 10 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023 BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is the contract purchaser of the property and requests a Preliminary Planned Development to permit a 4-lot single-family residential development. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting the following: Preliminary Planned Development to permit a 4-lot single-family residential development ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property was previously operated as a chiropractic office and personal residence, since its initial existence in 1986. It is located in an older Page 3 Packet Pg. 11 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023 area of the Village and is situated adjacent to the Central Business District, with Wood Street identified as the northern boundary of the B-3 district.  There is not a consistently established land use pattern or zoning identity to this section of the Village. This is likely both a function of the proximity to the Central Business District and a result of the previous downtown planning and implementation activities. The Subject Property, through its previous land use as a medical office, with a commercial parking area along Brockway Street, existed in conjunction with the other residential uses.  While the lots to the north and east maintain a current R-2 zoning designation, the property directly east across the street (“Village Green” townhouses) is zoned Planned Development and contains 13 units on .971 acres of 13.38 units/acre.  The property directly south of the Subject Property is also zoned Planned Development (“”Stone Garden Subdivision”) and contains 5 units on .351 acres or 14.24 units/acre. The lot directly north is zoned R-2, but previously functioned as a multi-unit duplex on an 8,712 square foot lot. Zoning and Site Design:  The lot is current zoned R-3 and the following table delineates the proposed lot sizes and setbacks: Proposed Lot Size (R-3 Lot Width (there is no Lot Depth (110’ required) Minimum Interior Side minimum is 8,000 SF) minimum lot width in Setbacks the R-3 district = FY/(CS) SUB =75) Lot 1 = 4,599 SF 51.96 feet 88.54 feet 15 feet (17 feet - 5 feet Colfax) Lot 2 = 3,452 SF 40 feet 88.54 feet 15 feet 5 feet Lot 3 = 3,452 SF 40 feet 88.54 feet 15 feet 5 feet Lot 4 = 5,723 SF 43.37 feet 131.97 feet 17 feet (Colfax) 5 feet (east) 8 feet (west)  Under is current multi-family zoning, Each lot is afforded direct driveway access to Colfax and Brockway Streets, with a 2-car garage and driveway parking available. All of the lots provide minimum interior side yard setbacks of 5 feet and minimum front yard setbacks of 15 feet, with the corner side yard (Colfax) and front yard setbacks for Lots 1 and 4 at 17 feet. This is directly comparable to the minimum required R-2 corner side yard setback of 20 feet and minimum required side yard for R-2 lots less than 67 feet in width. Page 4 Packet Pg. 12 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023  The proposed setbacks are consist with most of the surround single-family homes and provide greater setbacks than development to the south.  Along the west side of Brockway Street, the homes at 260 and 268 N. Brockway Street maintain front yard setbacks of approximately 17 feet and 18 feet, respectively. On the east side of Brockway Street, the homes at 247, 255, and 261 N. Brockway have front yard setbacks of approximately 21 feet, 14 feet, and 17 feet. The homes along Bothwell Street also have similar setbacks to the proposed.  Most of the lots in this area are 66 feet by 132 feet, which is the traditional lot size in this area. The area to the southeast along Bothwell Street has several single-family lots that are 60, 50, and 48 feet wide. As proposed, the 4-lots are not out of character from the surrounding property characteristics. The R-3 district would allow a density of 3.48 3-bedroom homes for this lot. Page 5 Packet Pg. 13 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023  The Village Green townhomes directly west of the property provides a 23-foot front yard and Stone Garden to the south has an 8.5-foot setback from Colfax Street and a 10.5-foot setback from Brockway Street. Engineering:  The surrounding neighborhood is established and completely developed, with all of the required infrastructure and utilities available within the area. Based upon the existing circumstances, within the downstream area of the Subject Property, the Village Code would require both volume control and stormwater detention for this property. As required, parkway trees would be installed.  The Subject Property generally drains from the northeast to the southwest. With the exception of a slight shelf on the northern section of Lot 4, the property is relative flat.  Providing detention is consistent with the Stone Garden development, directly south of the Subject Property and appropriate, given the constant surcharge received by areas downstream of the property. This will prevent additional stormwater runoff from adding runoff to the extended system. Page 6 Packet Pg. 14 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023 Architecture:  Each of the homes are designed to have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The building footprints would be approximately 30 feet wide by 59 or 63 feet deep, within each lot. The second floor plans indicate a 28 foot by 26 foot area. The total square footage of the homes is approximately 2,500 square feet.  The proposed building materials would include LP siding or other non-vinyl siding alternative. Per the narrative, the proposed home designs will incorporate colors, materials, and accents to coordinate with the surrounding established home in the area. This includes matching the treatments of the siding and accent materials. RECOMMENDATION: This area of the Village maintains a confluence of varying land uses (attached multi- family, single-family homes, non-conforming duplexes, detached single-family with a shared central drive, condominiums, and apartment uses). While the Future Land Use envisioned a continued medical office use, Staff believes the proposed is a compatible land use and site plan to incorporate into the area. By utilizing the existing street system and providing direct driveway access for each lot, the existing single-family land use patterns will continue for this property. And, the proposed front yard and corner side yard setbacks align with the surrounding properties. Although the rear yard setbacks are narrower that the Code may require, Lot 4 provides a 50-foot setback and works to comparably with the surrounding setbacks to the east. The proposed elevations and materials should also align with the existing elevations in the neighborhood. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Planned Development, subject to the following conditions: 1. All extra agency permits shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 2. The Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost (EEOPC) shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 3. Review fees, based upon the finally accepted EEOPC shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 4. The Final Architectural Plans shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the Director of Community Development/Planning and Zoning, including the final material quantities and distribution. The final separation of the Page 7 Packet Pg. 15 3.A.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 8203) Meeting of March 21, 2023 dwellings shall comply with the IRC R-302, in a manner acceptable to the Director of Fire Prevention. 5. The Final Engineering Plans shall be submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer and shall include both volume control and stormwater detention. 6. The Final Landscaping Plan shall be revised in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning. The plan should review the ability to maintain any of the existing healthy trees within the property. 7. A Public Improvement letter of credit in an amount of 115% of the approved EEOPC, for said public improvements, shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. 8. A Planned Development Letter of Credit in the amount of $40,000 - ($10,000/unit, per Article 14 of the Zoning Ordinance) shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning. 9. If required, a Final Plat of Subdivision shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer and Director of Planning and Zoning. As determined by the Village Attorney, the HOA declarations shall be submitted and revised in a manner acceptable to the Village Attorney. 10. A construction management plan shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning and the Village Engineer and shall outline the proposed development schedule and identify the material delivery routes and proposed parking areas for the contractors, in conjunction with the building permit application submission.

Colors, rooflines, accents, and materials have all been considered in the designs. This enclave of four homes will fit in very well with the surrounding aesthetics. It is a lower density alternative with a “nod” to the historical buildings in downtown Palatine. Exterior materials will largely be lap siding with accompanying accents to match. Soffits and fascia will be aluminum. Roofs will be treated with 30yr architectural, asphalt shingles.
