REPORTS
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF.PLAN The Plan Commission held a public hearing on
COMMISSION RE REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT February 13 to consider the request of
TO SPECIAL USE FOR A PUD, APPROVAL Sven Flodstrom for an Amendment to a Special
OF PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND Use for a PUD, approval of a Preliminary
APPROVAL OF PLAT OF SUBDIVISION, Development Plan and approval of a Plat of
FLODSTROM CONSTRUCTION CO. Subdivision. The petitioner wishes to build
three office buildings on the northern
portion of his T- shaped lot facing Lake Cook Road. The Plan Commission
unanimously recommended the following:
(1) That the petitioner's plans for an amendment to a previously approved
Special Use and approval of a Preliminary Development Plan for the northern 5.3
acres of the property be approved;
(2) That the petitioner's request for an approval of a Preliminary Plat of
Subdivision for the subject property and the vacation of the eastern 100 -foot
building set back line be approved;
(3) That the petitioner's request for all necessary variations and modifications
be approved. The variations and modifications include: a lot area of less than
two acres; parking in the Pfingsten Road setback; landscape screening to be
allowed in the Pfingsten Road right -of -way; Sign A to be located in the Pfingsten
,Road setback; and Signs B, C, D, and E to be allowed as shown on the petitioner's
drawings; and
1
(4) That the traffic on the new east -west road be monitored by the Police
Department and that a loading /receiving plan, color sample and materials; and a
cross section of the Pfingsten Road berm be presented to the Board of Trustees.
Mr. Flodstrom was in attendance to present
his plans for two one -story and one two-story-office buildings. The combined
square footage of the three buildings is to be about 60,000 square feet. The
building on the west will have a basement, while the others will have raft
foundations. Each office building will be under separate ownership, but all
three owners have agreed to ensure continuity of design by having one architect
design the entire development. In addition, one landscaping firm will do the
landscape design for the entire development. Buildings A and B are to be built
simultaneously, with Building C to be built later. The three buildings will be
financed as three separate projects. It is undecided at this time if the road
through the development will be public or private, two lanes or three. Deer Lake
Road will be repaired and resurfaced. More parking will be provided than is
required. At an as yet undetermined time, Mr. Flodstrom hopes to build a
restaurant on the front portion of the land.
Don Fielding of Greengard and Associates
Civil Engineers discussed plans for the infrastructure and grades. He discussed
the technology of dynamic compaction to be used on the ground under Buildings B
and C. During this process, the ground is anticipated to drop two to three feet.
To a lesser extent, dynamic compaction may be also done under the parking lots.
Because the site for Building A has a thicker clay cap (approximately 131), it
will not be compacted, and that building can have a basement. The utility
corridor will sit on a grade beam and on piles so that there is no settlement.
Those utilities will be owned by the Village but will be maintained by the
development's association.
Trustees asked questions regarding the
leasability of the two story building, mechanicals, loading docks, berming,
parking, depth of fill, settlement, cost estimates, the tax impact study,
environmental testing, and other matters.
Trustee Heuberger made a motion to approve
the Plan Commission Report and Recommendation. Trustee Ehlers seconded the
motion. Mr. Stucko commented that approval of the Plan Commission Report and
Recommendation does not include approval of any of the economic aspects of the
proposal. The motion passed, with all trustees voting for it except Trustee
Swartz.
