Public Notice Sworn in staff: Mr. Alex Bradshaw Sworn in the petitioner: Mr. Dave Wilkie 906 S. Willow Walk Drive Mr. Wilkie stated they requested a permit to install a generator due to constant power outages in the neighborhood which have resulted in significant financial impacts due to flooding. He stated the whole house generator is a necessity. Mr. Wilkie stated they propose to put the generator in the obvious location where the gas meter and the electrical panel is located. He pointed out the property is on a corner and the generator would be on the north side. Mr. Wilkie stated staff requested the generator be installed on northwest side directly under the dining room window which is an access danger and visible from the inside the home. He stated the only other option would add an additional $900 to run a gas line the entire length of house. He pointed out there are others in the neighborhood who have generators that are visible from the street. Mr. Wilkie referred to the landscape plan slide to show the shrubbery that will be planted to mask/cover the generator to keep the natural look of neighborhood. Mr. Luszczak asked where staff requested the generator to be located. Mr. Wilkie referred to existing condition slide to show location pointing out it would be visible through the window. Mr. Luszczak asked if a generator is supposed to be away from the window. Mr. Bradshaw stated that is correct agreeing that Fire Prevention may have an issue with its placement near a window. Discussion on having to run gas and electric across home to relocate to opposite side not facing a street. Mr. Bradshaw gave a brief overview stating the property is zoned R-1A and is uniquely situated as it abuts a street on 3 sides. He stated to install a generator in the side yard requires a variation. He stated the generator would be setback approximately 26.5 feet from northern property line. Mr. Bradshaw pointed out there are similar generators in neighborhood, none of which are in side yard but VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2 Packet Pg. 3  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals September 27, 2022 all can be seen from street. He stated Community Services, Engineering, and Fire Prevention have reviewed and no issues were identified. Mr. Cavanaugh asked if there is an existing variation. Mr. Bradshaw answered no. Discussion on setback. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to install a generator to help prevent reoccurring power outages. The proposed generator will be located in the required side yard abutting a street, where the required setback is 35 feet. The generator is Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 27, 2022 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) proposed to be set back approximately 26.5 feet from W. Illinois Avenue, and will have landscaping to provide a buffer that will help to keep the essential character of the locality unchanged. Staff has provided alternate, permissible, locations for the generator. However, Staff understands that the Petitioner’s proposed location will allow for the most logistically efficient and effective installation. The home having street frontage on three sides also presents locational challenges. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the requested Variation with the following condition: 1. The Variation shall substantially conform to the Site Plan and Landscaping Plan submitted by the Petitioner, David Wilkie, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village Codes and Ordinances. There were no further questions. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Cavanaugh made a motion to approve subject staff’s conditions; seconded by Ms. Roth-Wurster DELIBERATIONS: Mr. Cavanaugh stated the standards have been met. He pointed out the property is unique with roads on three sides. He stated the owner is trying to protect their home from water when power turns off and this is a good solution. Ms. Roth-Wurster agreed the standards have been met and it is a unique property. She pointed out the other location does not meet fire code. She stated it won’t affect the character of locality with screening. Ms. Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved by a vote of 6-0. This item will tentatively go to Village Council on October 10, 2022.

Holly Way - Recommended to Approve Notice was published in the Daily Herald on September 12, 2022 and mailed to the owners of the surrounding properties. Petitioner's Exhibits: 1. Application for Special Use 2. Proof of Ownership 3. Plat of Survey 4. Site Plan 5. Fence Elevation Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 27, 2022 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) 6. Public Notice Sworn in the petitioner: Mr. Jeff Spitzer 901 E. Holly Way Mr. Spitzer stated they are doing a patio and a fence project. He stated the existing fence was destroyed in a storm 2 years ago and repaired but wants to beautify the home and replace fence with 6-foot privacy fence. Mr. Spitzer explained they are looking for privacy from people driving down Ivy and protection from coyotes. He stated the house has been burglarized through the backyard patio door so they feel this gives more protection. Mr. Spitzer stated the patio contractor indicated the grill would be too close to the fence at current location and that 3ft was recommended so looking to move the fence out an additional 2 feet from current location. Ms. Wood asked if the grill can be moved. Mr. Spitzer stated the gas supply for the grill is located there. He explained if have to move the grill 3 feet from current fence it would be in front of the patio door which is not safe, and if they move to other side of the patio the cost of moving the gas line would be increased. Mr. Luszczak if they spoke to the neighbor. Mr. Spitzer answered yes and there is no issues. He pointed out it won’t obstruct any views. Ms. Wood asked what the special use is for. Mr. Bradshaw explained for a fence to encroach 4 feet into the front yard. Ms. Wood asked what would be allowed. Mr. Bradshaw explained the petitioner can replace the existing fence with same height and style. Mr. Pirog asked Mr. Spitzer if they are set on the 6 feet. Mr. Spitzer answered yes explaining the 6ft would give better protection. Ms. Wood clarified the fence is for safety, privacy, and crime deterrent. Mr. Spitzer answered yes VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 4 Packet Pg. 5  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals September 27, 2022 Mr. Cavanaugh asked how old existing fence is. Mr. Spitzer answered 33 years. Mr. Cavanaugh asked if there is another material for the fence that can be used that would be more heat resistance and not require the additional feet. Mr. Spitzer stated he is not sure if there is treated wood that is fire proof. Mr. Luszczak suggested adding sheet metal to protect. Mr. Spitzer stated that may be an option but would want it to look aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Pirog asked if there is an extension to move grill over slightly. Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 27, 2022 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) Mr. Spitzer explained if moved it would be in front of patio doors. Ms. Wood asked about comparable fences in area. Mr. Spitzer spoke of other properties that have 6ft vinyl referring to slides he brought showing locations. Discussion on other fences being in front yards / existing non-conforming. Mr. Bradshaw gave a brief overview stating the petitioner is proposing to construct a fence that encroaches into the 30-foot front yard. He stated the 6- foot vinyl fence would be setback approx. 26 feet from lot line abutting Ivy Place. He spoke to the existing landscape buffer that is between the proposed fence and property line. Mr. Bradshaw pointed out the neighboring driveway is approx. 60 feet from shared line therefore line-of-sight does not appear to be a concern. He stated Community Services reviewed and indicated there does not appear to be adequate justification provided to encroach into the required front yard of the Subject Property. Mr. Bradshaw stated Engineering reviewed as well and did not identify any issues. Ms. Wood pointed out there are a lot of solid fences in neighborhood. Mr. Bradshaw explained they are nonconforming pre-existing to current zoning code. Ms. Wood asked about other burglaries in neighborhood. Mr. Bradshaw stated staff has no knowledge. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to relocate and expand an existing fence, which is in disrepair, with a 6-foot tall solid vinyl privacy fence that will encroach 4 feet into the required front yard of the Subject Property. The Petitioner’s justification indicates that the proposal will not take away from the existing vista in the area, as there is existing landscaping that will remain as a buffer between the fence and the lot line abutting N. Ivy Place. However, Staff does not believe that there has been adequate justification provided by the Petitioner to encroach into the required front yard, and the proposed 6-foot solid vinyl fence is taller, more substantial, and encroaches VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 5 Packet Pg. 6  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals September 27, 2022 further into the required front yard than the existing fence. Additionally, per the submitted materials, Staff did not find the encroachment to be necessary to protect private property or the safety of the inhabitants. Therefore, Staff recommends denial of the request to the Zoning Board of Appeals. If the Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval, Staff recommends the following condition: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Site Plan and Elevation submitted by the Petitioner, Jeff Spitzer, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village Codes and Ordinances. Mr. Pirog asked if the only option instead of variation is to replace with a 4-foot Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Sep 27, 2022 7:00 PM (Minutes Approval) fence. Mr. Bradshaw answered yes or move back to conform to 30 feet setback. Ms. Wood asked if the board can approve the fence but not the 2 additional feet. Mr. Bradshaw explained the current fence encroaches 2 feet into the required setback so would still require a special use to install a 6-foot solid fence in the existing location. Mr. Spitzer clarified the fence could be approved at the existing line at 6 feet in height. Ms. Wood stated if the board approved. Mr. Cavanaugh asked Mr. Spitzer if they would be okay with that. Mr. Spitzer stated they would be open and would apply something to protect the fence as Mr. Luszczak suggested. Ms. Roth-Wurster asked if the gas grill was there when they bought the home. Mr. Spitzer answered no they installed. There were no further questions. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Luszczak made a motion to approve the 6-foot solid vinyl fence at the existing fence location; seconded by Mr. Cavanaugh DELIBERATIONS: Mr. Luszczak stated the fence was there already and understands the need for privacy and security. Mr. Cavanaugh stated the only complaint is for the additional encroachment into the front yard so keep where it is. He stated the contractor can figure out the heat issue. Mr. McGinn stated the only issue is with the immediate neighbor (1907) who is ok with it and there is no sight line impacts so meet standards. Ms. Wood stated she is not a fan of vinyl but that’s her preference. She pointed VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6 Packet Pg. 7  2.1 Minutes Zoning Board of Appeals September 27, 2022 out the neighborhood has a good amount of fences close to the lot lines so would be conforming to the area. She stated the petitioners have good reason with burglary and coyotes so makes sense for safety. Ms. Roth-Wurster agreed with Ms. Wood. Ms. Wood summarized that this request has met the standards and was unanimously approved as amended by a vote of 6-0. This item will tentatively go to Village Council on October 10, 2022.

Cedar Street TO: Palatine Zoning Board of Appeals Jan Wood, Chair FROM: Alex Bradshaw PETITIONER: Korreen Gerowitz CASE NUMBER: 22-42 ADDRESS: 990 S. Cedar Street PROPOSAL: Special Use to permit an addition to be set back 32 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the minimum required 40 feet. LOCATION: 990 S. Cedar Street CURRENT R-2 Single-Family District 2 (Lamerand) ZONING: Residential SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: North: R-2 Single-Family Residential South R-2 Single-Family Residential East: R-2 Single-Family Residential West: R-1 Single-Family Residential (Birchwood Park Pool) BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is proposing to construct a sunroom addition off the rear of the home that will be set back 32 feet from the rear property line. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: Special Use to permit an addition to be set back 32 feet from the rear lot line, instead of the minimum required 40 feet. SITE ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property is zoned R-2 Single-Family and is part of the Plum Grove Hills Unit 4 subdivision. The rear yard of the Subject Property is directly adjacent to the Birchwood Park swimming pool.  The Subject Property is approximately 12,400 square feet. The lot currently consists of a single story home, deck and gazebo, an above ground pool, and a deck off the NW corner Page 1 Packet Pg. 11  3.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 7926) Meeting of October 25, 2022 of the home.  The Petitioner is proposing to demolish and remove the existing deck and gazebo, and is seeking a Special Use to permit the construction of a sunroom off of the rear of the existing home that will encroach 8 feet into the 40 foot required rear yard setback.  Per the submitted application, the homeowner has a physical handicap and the sunroom off the kitchen allows for the client to safely enjoy their property in a functional space.  The proposed addition would not encroach into the either required side yard setback. As this is a uniquely shaped lot, any additional work done to the rear of the house would require setback relief.  There was comparable Special Use granted in 2017 for setback relief at 991 S. Cedar Street, located in the same cul-de-sac (O-29-17). Said Special Use permitted a 3-season room to be set back approximately 19 feet from the rear lot line, thus encroaching 21 feet into the required 40 foot rear yard setback.  Both building and lot coverage meet Code. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS: Community Services No Issues Identified Engineering No Issues Identified Environmental Health N/A Fire Prevention No Issues Identified Public Works N/A Police N/A STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Subject Property has an existing deck and gazebo that will be demolished to make space for a sunroom addition off the rear of the home. The proposed sunroom will encroach 8 feet into the rear yard, which abuts the Birchwood Park Community Pool. As there was a Special Use granted to the property across the cul-de-sac, for greater rear yard setback relief, the proposed addition should not negatively impact the surrounding properties. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use, subject to the following condition: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Site Plan, Floor Plan, and Page 2 Packet Pg. 12  3.1 Case Staff Statement (ID # 7926) Meeting of October 25, 2022 Elevation Plans submitted by the Petitioner, Korreen Gerowitz, except as such plans may be changed to conform to Village Codes and Ordinances.

Wood Street #300 TO: Palatine Zoning Board of Appeals Jan Wood, Chair FROM: Alex Bradshaw PETITIONER: Katy Cushing CASE NUMBER: 22-30 ADDRESS: 550 W. Wood Street #300 PROPOSAL: Special Use Amendment to permit an expanded floor plan and alterations to the business plan for an existing animal kennel. LOCATION: 550 W. Wood Street #300 CURRENT M - Manufacturing District District 1 (Millar) ZONING: SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: North: M - Manufacturing South R-1 Single-Family Residential (Riemer Reservoir Park) East: M - Manufacturing West: R-1 Single-Family Residential (Palatine Prairie) BACKGROUND: The Petitioner is proposing to expand the floor plan for an existing animal kennel, A Closer Bond, into an adjoining tenant space. Per the submitted application, the 4,000 square foot expansion will be utilized to consolidate the business operations from their other associated location on Northwest Highway. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: Special Use Amendment to permit an expanded floor plan and alterations to the business plan for an existing animal kennel. SITE ANALYSIS:  The Subject Property is zoned M - Manufacturing. The existing building is approximately 38,600 square feet. A Closer Bond currently leases 8,000 square feet. The facility provides group, private, and in-residency training for on leash and off leash training as well as behavior problem solving such as house training. Page 1 Packet Pg. 48  3.3 Case Staff Statement (ID # 7925) Meeting of October 25, 2022  The existing tenant space is a dog training facility, which was approved through a Special Use in June 2014 (Ord. O-74-14). This Special Use was later amended in 2017 to permit a pet friendly turf area outside, in the rear (east) of the subject tenant space. Per the submitted Business Plan, the outdoor area would be monitored at all times. The Business Plan further indicates that A Closer Bond staff are trained and will maintain a 1:3 staff member to dog ratio in order to limit barking in the outdoor space.  The Petitioner is proposing to expand their indoor facility into adjacent tenant space to the south of their existing tenant space within 550 W. Wood Street. The expansion will provide space to eventually move all operations from their other associated facility at 842 W. Northwest Hwy into the Wood Street facility.  Per the updated business plan, hours of operation are as follows: o Staff Hours (25 total employees): 7 AM - 9 PM Monday through Friday o Business Hours: 7 AM - 9 PM Monday through Friday, 8 AM - 7 PM Saturday and Sunday. Group classes are typically held in the evenings and on weekends.  Per the submitted Site Plan & Floor Plan, the proposed expansion to the south will add approximately 4,000 square feet to the facility. This space would be utilized as additional training rooms and more kennels. The expansion space will ultimately be a duplicate floor plan of the facility’s current training and recreation space.  There are no plans to expand the outdoor area along the rear (east) side of the facility. In addition, per the submitted addendum to the business plan, there is a planned indoor bathroom area for the dogs. These areas will consist of enclosures with K9 turf and a drainage system connected to the sanitary sewer for the building. This will ultimately, eliminate the need for outdoor bathroom enclosures.  There are 74 existing parking spaces. The parking requirement review for the original Special Use review calculated the existing space as approximately 1/3 office space and 2/3 warehouse, thus requiring 67 spaces. The expansion space was calculated as 1/10 office and 9/10 warehouse, as the office space will remain loaded in the current location within their facility (see floor plan). With that said, the expansion will increase the parking requirement by 5 spaces, pushing the total to 72 required spaces. DEPARTMENTAL REVIEWS: Community Services No Issues Identified Engineering N/A Environmental Health N/A Fire Prevention No Issues Identified Page 2 Packet Pg. 49  3.3 Case Staff Statement (ID # 7925) Meeting of October 25, 2022 Public Works N/A Police N/A STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is proposing to expand their existing floor plan into the 4,000 square foot adjoining tenant space to the south. This expansion will provide adequate space for A Closer Bond to begin the process of consolidating all business operations to a single location. As the majority of the operations will continue to take place inside the building, there should not be any injury to the value of the surrounding properties. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the requested Special Use Amendment with the following conditions: 1. The Special Use Amendment shall substantially conform to the conditions set by the original Special Use (O-74-14), and the Floor Plan and Business Plan submitted by the Petitioner, Katy Cushing, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village Codes and Ordinances. 2. The Petitioner shall install baffles within the expansion tenant space to further reduce any noise generation from the dog training use, in a manner acceptable to the Village of Palatine. 3. Any expansion of the fenced-in outdoor space, east of the building, shall require additional Village review. 4. A Closer Bond shall be subject to a three-month and nine-month Staff review. Following A Closer Bond’s expansion and ongoing operations, if determined to be necessary by the Staff review, an additional review will take place before the Village Council. If additional review by the Village Council is necessary, the Village Council reserves the right to impose any additional conditions on the Special Use without further public hearing, at such time of the three-month and nine-month review. Nothing shall preclude the Village from any other enforcement and/or compliance actions afforded under the Code of Ordinances.

Our services will be all-inclusive pet care and include: obedience training (group, private, and in-residency training), behavior modi cation, social play day care with enrichment activities and manners training, overnight care, indoor dog potty areas & activity play yards, boarding, grooming, educational canine workshops & seminars, adoption events, service dog training, personal protection, tracking, retrieval, agility, and other sport dog training. We also operate a school to teach interested people how to read dog body language, understand dog nutrition, learn K9 CPR, and understand how to train dogs from puppyhood to adult. Hours of Operation: Staff Hours: 7 AM - 9 PM Monday - Sun. Business hours: 7 AM – 9 PM Monday – Friday, 8 AM – 7 PM Saturday & Sunday. Number of Employees: 25 Full Time and Part Time. Group Classes consist of up to 15 clients with their dogs. Typically group classes will be held in the evenings and weekends. Classes include Puppy Preschool and Social Development, Obedience Classes, Off Leash Classes, AKC Canine Good Citizen Classes, Behavior Modi cation Classes such as Leash Reactivity and House Training, Distraction Classes, Agility Class, Rally Obedience, Tricks Class, Tracking/Retrieval Class, and other dog-sport classes. Private Lessons will be held at mutually agreeable times. In-Residency Training is for clients who would like a more concentrated form of training and can include dogs staying overnight for intensive behavior modi cation training programs. School for Dog Education – As dogs are becoming more of a family member than a pet, it is important to understand how to raise them to be calm, con dent, and healthy dogs. We offer a variety of seminars/webinars that cover topics like reading dog body A Closer Bond Dog Training, Inc KJC 8/2022 Packet Pg. 56 fi fi fi fi  3.3.d language, Nutrition, K9 CPR, and a course on how to train a dog for obedience and the many different jobs they can perform. Grooming – We currently offer grooming services to clients and will be adding more groomers to our staff as needed. We also operate a DIY dog wash. Outdoors: We currently have pet friendly turf in a 9.5’ x 80’ area with a vinyl 6 foot fence. The area will be used for training purposes as well as a rescue area in case of emergencies in the Attachment: Business Plan (550 W. Wood Street #300 - SU Amend (A Closer Bond)) facility. Dogs taken out to this area will be supervised at all times as we currently do. There is no plan for expansion of this outdoor area. Indoors We will be installing an indoor dog park area for potty breaks and social play groups. A section of this area will be closed in and used for a bathroom area, eliminating the need to use the outdoor area for potty breaks. Turf will be cleaned using a central ushing system under the turf and properly sanitized throughout the day to eliminate odors. Justi cation: Bringing both business under one roof will better serve the community, our clients, and our staff. We will alleviate noise issues located at our 842 W Northwest Hwy by moving the outdoor social play to our 550 W Wood St. location and creating an indoor play park for the dogs and clients to enjoy. This move will also reduce our business costs and environmental footprint. Any questions can be sent to Katy Cushing at 847-358-7312 extension 1 or katy@acloserbond.com.

When in doubt, please talk with the sender or check with VOP IT I just looked again, it's an old one for fencing. I will get you a business plan as it will need some updating. The goal of the expansion is to have all indoor areas for play and for potty breaks. For all of our outdoor potty breaks currently, we have a 3 dog rotation process where we have 3 dogs out with one staff member stationed with them at all times and a second staff member rotates the dogs in and out. They'll bring out a 4th dog and then take one in and continue the rotation until the dogs have all been out. We also have a puppy program that may have up to 6 puppies (8 wks - 20 weeks of age) with a staff member with them at all times. I was talking with Mark Juliano, my landlord, and within a couple of years we may need more space. Is it possible to have the whole building rezoned or just the space we intend to lease? Thanks!
