A-19-104 Ordinance – Rezoning, Map Amendment, Special Use and Planned Unit Development – Fire Station 31
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “An Ordinance Approving Rezoning, Map Amendment, Special Use and Planned Unit Development With Variations for the Property Located at 1204 S. Park Avenue in the Village of Streamwood.” This Ordinance approves the rezoning from R-2 to R-4, a special use for a government building and a planned unit development with variations for the replacement of Fire Station 31.
Trustee Carlson presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated this Fire Station building wa constructed in 1972, and will be demolished and rebuilt on the same property parcel. The new building will house the Fire Administration offices, moving from the Schaumburg Road fire station. The property will be rezoned from R-2 to R-4PUD which is consistent with the surrounding property. The R-4 zoning district requires a special use for a government building, and several variances are also being requested. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition on September 17, 2019 and recommended in favor of the special use.
Ray Lee and Jason Estes from FGM Architects, provided an overview of the plans and variations. The proposed building is just over 23,000 square feet with the north half used for personnel and the south half used for enclosed vehicle parking with four drive-through bays, and a rear garage on the west end of the parcel. There is a 41 foot tower on the south side of the building for training purposes. A reduced setback on the northeast corner is requested from 25 feet to 3’7”; this reduced setback is consistent with the shopping center to the north. The garage also required variations for the height of 19’6” and the 2,716 square foot size; this is a non-residential garage needed to house larger equipment. An 8 foot tall masonry wall is proposed between the training tower on the rear southwest of the main building to the garage to screen the training area behind the station as well as to shield it from the ball park and maintain security. In addition to the administration offices, and personnel housing areas, the building also has a training/community room on the northeast side.
Mr. Lee reviewed the proposed signage for the building as well as the exterior elevations. Thirty-five total parking spaces are prosed; 14 spaces on-site behind the building and 21 on-street spaces along Cambridge Avenue. Variations are required for these parking areas. The site will have two full access curb cuts to allow emergency vehicles to access from Park as well as Cambridge and pull through the bay doors. The Park Avenue curb cut is 76 feet; the existing median in Park Avenue will also be modified to allow full access. Variances are needed for the curb cuts. Landscaping is proposed throughout the site with a variance to eliminate parkway trees as parking spaces are planned along Cambridge the parkway trees would cause visibility issues along Park Avenue for the emergency vehicles.
Trustee Schmidt confirmed the masonry wall along the south side is only from the rear of the main building to the garage building in the rear. Trustee Harper expressed concern for the narrow setback on the northeast corner, and specifically for a vehicle jumping the curb and striking the building. He also asked about the signage and how it is illuminated. Mr. Lee stated the medallion sign is not lighted; the “31” on the front will be surface lit and the “31” on the south wall facing the ballfields is backlit providing a “glow” for the numerals.
A-19-105 Ordinance – Special Use and Planned Unit Development – Public Works Facility
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “An Ordinance Approving a Special Use and Planned Unit Development With Variations for the Property located at 565 S. Bartlett Road in the Village of Streamwood.” This Ordinance approves a special use for a government building and a planned unit development with variations for the expansion of the Public Works Facility.
Trustee Carlson presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated the current public works facility is expanding to accommodate staff needs, parking and equipment. The zoning will change from R-3 to R-3PUD to address the modifications and variances, and a special use for a government building is required in an R-3 zoning district. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition on September 27, 2019 and have recommended favorably with the planned expansion and variances requested.
Ray Lee and Jason Estes, FGM Architects, were present and provided an overview of the project. The fuel pumps will be relocated, stormwater detention will be added, the entrance drive will be realigned to the south, the existing storage shed will be reduced and an accessory building will be removed. The main building will be expanded to better accommodate staff, and an elevator will be added for accessibility needs. The storage garage is being expanded for necessary equipment storage and additional parking spaces are proposed.
Mr. Lee further discussed the realignment of the driveway to the south. The existing driveway is right against the rear yards/fence of the residences to the north; the realignment will improve vehicle sightlines, control and safety, and a greater distance from the intersection at Streamwood Blvd. The building improvements are designed to match the existing construction. Landscaping is proposed on the western portion of the site; required parkway trees will be eliminated as several trees exist in this area. There is currently no irrigation system and a variance is sought to not require one.
A large storm water basin is proposed behind the existing salt storage dome, with a smaller basin on the triangular peak of the north property line. A variance is requested to allow a release rate higher than allowed by Village Code but within the MWRD regulations. The existing monument sign is larger than allowed and a variance is requested to maintain the size and location; the sign face may, in the future, be replaced with an electronic message center of the same size.
Trustee Harper asked about additional parking in the front of the building. Mr. Lee stated that area is needed for access, and the grading of the property is very steep. Trustee Harper asked if the driveway could be shifted more to the south. Public Works Director Matt Mann stated there are a number of deep water main and MWRD manholes in that area and the driveway has been moved as far south as possible.

Trustee Baumer presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Carlson seconded the motion.

An engineer must review and inspect the shop drawings, bypass pumping, electrical and mechanicals, new pumps and controls, blast cleaning, structural repairs, surface preparation and application of the interior coating. Requests were requested from engineering firms for this work.

The consultant is paid for the hours worked and will be scheduled on a part-time basis with support from Village staff.
