Certified Survey Map and Site Plan Approval for a ~2,800 square foot Building
Addition
The applicant is proposing a remodel of the existing building and a 2,824 sq ft addition to
building to account for better access. They will add more work rooms and office space, and
increase size of the lobby. They will need a parking exception to lessen the 25’ setback from
a residential district. As the neighboring property is a multifamily building, staff doesn’t see
an issue with this request. Staff is also requesting a sidewalk be installed on O’Malley street
where there isn’t one currently. Motion Zeman, second by Wallace, to recommend approval
of the Karls CSM to the Village Board and to approve the site plan and grant the parking
exception, subject to final approval by the Village Engineer. Motion carried.
Kristin Runge arrived at 5:53 p.m.

from the zoning board of appeals for a corner of the building located within the setback line of the lot.
This public hearing is scheduled before the BOA on September 24th. Motion Malich, second by
Zeman, to approve the site plan subject to the applicant obtaining a variance from the zoning board of
appeals, and all outstanding comments addressed to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer. Motion
carried.
3 Discuss and Take Action on a Request by Kraemer Development for a Certified Survey
Map, Sarah Lane, Woodland Crest Development
The applicant previously applied for and received approval of the site plan for Lot 1 of the

approval of the CSM to the Village Board subject to all outstanding issues being resolved to
the satisfaction of the Village Engineer.
