1. Consider an Ordinance Transferring Special Use Ordinance #O-12-72, as Amended, to Allow the Continued Operation of Orbit Ice Arena at 615 S. Consumers Avenue - Motion Carried by Voice Vote (Council District: Five)
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg presented David Vennetti's, request for a transfer of the existing special use to permit the continued operation of Vee Hockey LLC sports complex, at 615 S. Consumer Avenue, operating from 7 AM to 11 PM daily, with no proposed changes to the current special use or conditions. With this approval, American Tier 1 will also participate in the Consumers Avenue License agreement, along with Soccer City and Salt Creek Park District, for the continued use and maintenance of the parking located in the Consumers Avenue ROW through 2038. Staff recommends approval of the special use transfer at 615 S. Consumer Avenue.
| RESULT: MOTION CARRIED BY VOICE VOTE [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman
SECONDER: Jim Schwantz, Mayor AYES: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Kozlowski, Helms |
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg presented the petitioner's request for a variation to permit a residential driveway to be 28 feet in width at the lot line instead of the maximum permitted 25 feet, for a minimum distance of 5 feet. Vyverberg explained the petitioners have constructed without a building permit, a brick paver ribbon along the sides of their existing driveway, increasing the width to be 3 feet greater than the code allows. The ZBA voted unanimously to approve a variation for driveway width. Staff recommends action at the discretion of the Village Council.
Petitioner, Steven Parquette, was present. The permit has not been issued, staff is waiting for action by the Council. Parquette stated that he made an innocent mistake.
| RESULT: MOTION CARRIED BY VOICE VOTE [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Doug Myslinski, District 3 Councilman SECONDER: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman AYES: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Kozlowski, Helms |
Planing & Zoning Director Ben Vverberg presented the petitioner's request for a variation to permit a concrete patio to be set back 16 feet, instead of the minimum required 20 feet from the side lot line abutting a street.
The Petitioner installed a concrete patio without a building permit, which encroaches 4 feet into the required side yard setback abutting a street. The Village received a complaint about the patio installed without a permit; the Petitioner then applied for a building permit. The building and lot coverage both meet code. The ZBA voted unanimously to approve a variation for the patio. Staff recommends action at the Village Council’s discretion.
In response to Councilman Lamerand, Andy Rice, 832 N. Glenn stated he has requested a permit, but has not completed steps from the patio door. It has been without steps for a year. He received a stop work order in October 2019, and could not proceed. Eventually he hopes to fence it in for privacy.
Councilman Myslinski confirmed that a permit would be needed for a fence.
Councilman Millar asked about building requirements, Community Services Director Harry Spila responded with specific base and concrete requirements and stated sometimes photos are required during construction.
Councilman Millar suggested more information be included in newsletters to avoid such situations.
| RESULT: MOTION CARRIED BY VOICE VOTE [UNANIMOUS]

SCOTT LAMERAND, CHAIRMAN
1. Consider a Motion Authorizing the Mayor to Execute the Assignment of the Water Service Agreement Between the Village of Palatine and FSP-Deer Park, LLC - Approved by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the 1999 Intergovernmental Agreement allowing Palatine to provide water service to limited areas of Deer Park. The end user must execute a Water Service Agreement with the Village of Palatine. In 2014, FSP-Deer Park, LLC (FSP) entered into a Water Service Agreement with Palatine for water service at the senior housing development in the Deer Park Town Center. FSP plans to sell the property and to transfer the Water Service Agreement rights to Dial Silvercrest Deer Park, LLC. The transaction requires the Village of Palatine to assign the original Water Service Agreement. Staff recommends approval of a motion authorizing the Mayor to execute an assignment of the Water Service Agreement with FSP Deer Park, LLC to Dial Silvercrest Deer Park, LLC.
