COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - Alderman Murphy, Chair

ZONING CASE 06-03-PUD-A MAP AMEND. & PRELIMINARY PUD/755 SEEGERS:

Director of Community & Economic Development Conlan reviewed Zoning Case 06-03-A-PUD regarding request to rezone property located at 755 Seegers Road from MC 2 General Manufacturing District to R-3 Townhouse Residential District, and request for approval of Amendment to Planned Unit Development (approved by the City Council on January 3, 2005 for Phase I - Ordinance Z-54-04) to develop a Phase II of the project, which would consist of thirty-four (34) townhouses on a 3.21 acre site, adjacent to the existing Concord Commons Phase I (700 Northwest Highway).

Mr. Rick Burton, representing the petitioner, Lennar Communities of Chicago, 2300 Barrington Road, Suite 540, Hofman Estates, IL 60195, addressed the Committee of the Whole and answered questions from the aldermen.

Alderman Beauvais stated that the ordinance should state that the PUD is not transferable without the consent of the City.

Mayor Arredia stated that the conditions in the ordinance should clearly state that the petitioner will insert a provision in the Homeowner= s Association Declaration that the townhouse Homeowner= s Association will be responsible for all landscape maintenance and shall pay for all parking enforcement costs.

Mr. Greg Nedohin, 47 N. Fifth Avenue, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that the homes being proposed are very plain; they will seriously impact the traffic because of the entrance to the project on Seegers Road; it is very difficult to see who is coming down the street now with the fences from R. G. Smith Company; he is concerned about the lack of green space in the project; where is all the water going to go - has this been fully considered; he is also concerned about the impact on the schools and his property value; he thinks the area will look like a slum.

Mrs. Barbara Van Slambrouck, 286 Stratford Road, addressed the Committee of the Whole asking if she heard correctly that the EPA rating was only slightly above the allowed level. Mr. Burton said that is not the case; we have been meeting the EPA requirements since January of 2006; there was some contamination, but it is now air-borne.

Mrs. Van Slambrouck also stated that the City should do another traffic study to make sure the first one is still valid.

Alderman Brookman agreed stating that the City should do another study before this ordinance is approved.

Director of Engineering Oakley stated that the traffic study was done based on the addition of these thirty-four new townhouses; it is valid.

Moved by Murphy, seconded by Argus, to concur with recommendation of Des Plaines Plan Commission and Staff, and recommend to the City Council, re Zoning Case 06-03-A-PUD, to grant request for Map Amendment to rezone property located at 755 Seegers Road from MC 2 General Manufacturing District to R-3 Townhouse Residential District, and approve Amendment to Planned Unit Development (approved by the City Council on January 3, 2005 for Phase I - Ordinance Z-54-04) to develop a Phase II of the project, which would consist of thirty-four (34) townhouses on a 3.21 acre site, adjacent to the existing Concord Commons Phase I (700 Northwest Highway); and amend the required conditions to state that the PUD is not transferable without the consent of the City, the petitioner will insert a provision in the Homeowner= s Association Declaration that the townhouse Homeowner= s Association will be responsible for all landscape maintenance and shall pay for all parking enforcement costs; and further recommend to place Ordinance Z-15-06 (Map Amendment) and Ordinance Z-16-06 - AS AMENDED (Preliminary PUD) on First Reading at appropriate time this evening.
