The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Senior Planner Nathan Darga read the Project Compliance Report. Description/Title: Spangler Parcel by Pizzuti Type of Review: Stormwater Variance Summary: The Pizzuti Companies, represented by Mike Chivini, purchased the 80 acre Spangler property off of Taylor Road. Village of Romeoville Page 1 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final March 14, 2017 The following chart describes the zoning and land uses surrounding the property. The Spangler parcel was approved as a General Development Plan in 2014 (ORD14-1132). Since that time the developer has completed the mass grading of the site and constructed the stormwater ponds. As part of that process, the developer had to work with FEMA on the floodplain, work with the FAA due to the proximity of the airport, and work with the Village for compliance to the stormwater ordinance. The FAA requires ponds to empty faster than the Village Stormwater code. This is to prevent wildlife such as geese from being attracted to areas around runways. The Village is deferring to the FAA standard on this property as it is at the end of the runway. The ponds are complete and functioning within FAA standards. The FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) has been issued. This variance is the final piece of the regulatory puzzle for the applicant. Method of Investigation: The Development review Committee has reviewed the proposal. Recommendation: The Development Review Committee is recommending approval. Jason Snyder, Jacob & Hefner,1333 Butterfield Rd., Ste. 300, Downers Grove, IL - Sworn Chairman Venn asked if the Commission has seen the final PUD on this project. Senior Planner Nathan Darga stated that the Commission looked at the plan in 2014. No building has been done on the area to date. Chairman Venn asked how the flow rate is raised on such a project. Mr. Snyder stated that the project is done to Village of Romeoville and Will County Standards. The required restrictor is opened up more to increase the flow rate required by the FAA. A motion was made by Commissioner Holloway, seconded by Commissioner Scieszka, that this Public Hearing be Closed. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. 6.

Lot 2 is located immediately east of Crème De La Crème and south of Bowlero. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) - Final Development Plan is required for this development and the concept plan review stage of the PUD allows for feedback prior to the full PUD submittal. The proposed Holiday Inn Express consists of 4 stories and includes 96 guest rooms. The Holiday Inn Express would also feature a pool, meeting rooms, fitness center, business center and breakfast/lounge space. An outdoor patio is proposed on the north side of the building. The proposed exterior building materials include a panel system, EIFS and stone veneer. A canopy is provided for the main entry and a variety of building projections and materials are proposed to break up the elevations. A total of 96 parking spaces are proposed in front of the building. The total number of parking spaces complies with the minimum code requirement of 1 parking space per guest room. Two points of access are shown on the site, one on the north end of the site and the other on the south end of the site. Both access points would connect to the existing development roadway network.
