Date: January 5, 2017 Description/Title: Aldi Expansion Type of Review: Amendment to the Planned Unit Development - Final Development Plan Summary: Aldi Inc. has submitted plans for a building expansion at their store at 398 S. Weber Village of Romeoville Page 1 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final January 10, 2017 Road. The property is approximately 4 acres in size. The existing site was approved in July of 2006 as ORD 06-0431. Aldi is expanding stores nationwide, including this store. They are proposing to add 2,060 square feet to the front of the store. This will allow them to offer more refrigerated space inside and to reconfigure the checkout area. The new front façade will match what was previously approved and constructed. The building elevation is designed to look seamless when the addition is complete. The parking lot will have some slight modifications in order to relocate the handicapped spaces. Overall, the site is losing 4 parking spaces. The site had more parking than code requires so this does not require a code exception. The landscape island at the corner of the building is being maintained. Method of Investigation: The Development review Committee has reviewed the proposal. Recommendation: The Development Review Committee recommends approval. Casey Meszaros, Manhard Consulting, 900 Woodlands Parkway Vernon Hills, IL 60061 - Sworn.

Casey Meszaros stated that all the stores in this area are expanding with the 2,000 S. F. standard addition. Chairman Venn asked if the store would remain open during the remodeling process. Senior Planner Nathan Darga stated that the store would remain open for the majority of the remodeling but, would close for about two week when the main wall is removed to merge the addition to the store. Chairman Venn asked if the General Contractor for the project is local. Casey Meszaros stated that the contractor has not been chosen yet. Commissioner Scieszka asked if the signage is staying the same, the plan sheets show the words Food Market on both sides of the addition which is not part of the store at this time. Casey Meszaros stated that the Food Market sign would be and upgrade to the addition.

The balance of the site would remain available for future development. The tower is proposed at 120’ in height which is the maximum our code allows. It would be service by a new access road off of Independence Blvd (IL 53). As this site will likely only receive one access point from IDOT, the Village has required this access to be up to normal standards. Future development will be able to utilize this entrance without major reconfiguration. The site will be fenced with landscaping provided around the base to screen the equipment on the ground. The applicant has provided a written response to the special use criteria in the ordinance which is included in your packet.

Mike Biniek stated that it would. Commissioner Scieszka asked if this is allowed by code. Senior Planner Nathan Darga stated that barbed wire is not allowed per code. Mike Bieniek stated that his company is willing to work with staff on this issue. Commissioner Burgess asked how many additonal companies the site would be able to accomodate. Mike Bieniek stated that the site is designed for four companies. This will depend on the structural analysis of the proposed equipment from the new carrier. Commissioner Scieszka asked about the water run off for the site at the drive. Mike Bieniek stated that sheet C7 in the packets showed the grading plan. Senior Planner Nathan Darga stated that the run off will out fall off into the ditch on Route 53. This was looked at with the application to IDOT and when the remainder of the site is developed it will require a small retention pond.
