Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF PACKAGED ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT 1062 E. SCHAUMBURG ROAD.” This Ordinance approves a Special Use Permit to allow the sale of packaged alcoholic beverages in a retail store in a C-2 Commercial Shopping District at 1062 E. Schaumburg Road.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated this is an existing 7-Eleven store (since 1986) where the franchisee has left the business and 7-Eleven Corporate will take over for the current time until a new franchisee comes in. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this Special Use petition and granted in favor with the condition that the interior use of the existing building be in substantial compliance with the floor plan by Royston dated April 17, 2008. Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Trustee Harper confirmed that a new franchisee would be required to obtain a new special use. Trustee Cecille confirmed that 7-Eleven Corporate is responsible for any liquor violations at the store.
A-21-074 Ordinance – Approval of Zoning Variance / 14 Bayberry Court
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE GRANTING VARIATION IN AN R-3 PUD SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO PERMIT A THREE-SEASON ROOM ADDITION TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE REAR OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE TO ENCROACH EIGHT FEET INTO A REQUIRED REAR YARD SETBACK PURSUANT TO TITLE 11, SECTION 11-5.4-6(C)(6) OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.” This Ordinance grants a variation to permit a rear yard three-season room addition to encroach eight (8) feet into a required rear yard setback at 14 Bayberry Court.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated the homeowners are seeking to add a three-season room, 16 ft. by 18 ft. to the rear of the house. The property is in a cul-de-sac and triangular-shaped which would cause the room to encroach into the required setback. The existing deck will be removed, and the three-season room will house an 8 ft. by 12 ft. hydrotherapy pool with the chairlift needed by the homeowner for a existing medical condition. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition and recommended in favor of the variance for this specific three-season room addition. Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Trustee Cecille confirmed no additional deck area will be added.
A-21-075 Ordinance - PUD Amendment / Westview Center III – 1098 S. Barrington Road
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO MODIFY THE PARKING LOT AND REMOVE THE DECORATIVE BELL TOWER IN THE WESTVIEW CENTER III SUBDIVISION 800 TO 1098 S. BARRINGTON ROAD.” This Ordinance approves an amendment to an existing agreement to add spaces and reconfigure parking and improve visibility at the Westview Shopping Center.
Trustee Thon presented the Ordinance for first reading. Community Development Director John Peterson stated the Westview Center management company has asked to remove the existing decorative bell tower because it blocks the view of storefronts at the south end of the building. Two new tenants are waiting to take possession of this space which will also allow a reconfiguring of the drive lanes and create 20 new in-line parking spaces where the tower had been. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition and recommended favorably, asking for landscaping, planters, benches, etc. within the project area. The petitioner has agreed to this, and staff concurs with the recommendation. A representatives from Westview Center and their civil engineer were present for questions. They did ask the Board to consider waiving the first reading so the prospective tenants can move forward as quickly as possible.
Trustee Thon moved to waive the first reading for the Ordinance. Trustee Haque seconded the motion.
