The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-1 to recommend approval with the revised business plan, and staff concurs.
| 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 |
3. Consider Ordinances Granting a Vacation of a Portion of the Olive Street Right-of-Way, a Setback Reduction and Variations for Permitted Obstructions, and a Resolution Consolidating Five Existing Lots and the Vacated Olive Street Right-of-Way at 530 S. Williams Avenue (Salt Creek Park District) - Motion Carried by Voice Vote (Council District: Five)
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg stated this item was initially reviewed and continued by the Council from the March 6, 2023 Village Council meeting, for further review of the proposed stormwater control plans and related concerns of the resident directly south of the subject property. At the Petitioner's request, it was continued to tonight's meeting.
Village Manager Reid Ottesen stated that it is a great re-investment and invited Public Works Director Matt Barry to address the water quality and run off. Barry stated that WMRD provided storm water volume control efforts with catch basin, on-site stone floor to allow slow release of the volume into the storm sewer. The distance to the neighboring property exceeds 160 feet, (100 required) soil is clay, and confirmed the required buffer between the proposed project and the neighboring property from any seasonal ground water is exceeded by 2.5 times.
In response to Councilman Helms regarding a parking lot in the residential area, Ottesen stated it is common with churches and schools. Ottesen added area wells were capped properly.
Councilman Millar complimented the Park District for working with the nearest residents and noted their offer to assist with cost of hooking up to the Village water.
Councilman Myslinski recommended a rain garden be established to handle additional water and to be used for educational purposes.
Frank Parisi, Williams Architects, added that the under-drain was initially considered, but due to the proximity of the neighbor's well, they changed a more effective drainage system. Due to the clay base, the under drain is in place to disburse the water. Demolition plans of previous structures on the site were studied and were demolished properly.
| RESULT: MOTION CARRIED BY VOICE VOTE [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman SECONDER: Tim Millar, District 1 Councilman AYES: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Kozlowski, Helms |
4. Consider an Ordinance Granting a Special Use for an Accessory Unique Use to Permit Chickens to be Kept at 1401 W. Autumn Road - Motion Carried by Roll Call (Council District: One)
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg presented the petitioners' request to allow the installation of a coop and run to keep chickens in their rear yard. The plan conforms to the Village's R-2 Single-Family Residential zoning regulations. The family’s existing shed houses chickens. Following a complaint from a neighbor, the Village became aware of the then illegal chickens, cited the petitioners who are now proposing to build a chicken coop and run to house six hens in the rear yard, meeting current code and conforming to all Chapter 5 requirements.
The Village has received a completed consent form from each of the four abutting property owners. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval, excluding the requirement for a 6-foot solid fence to enclose the backyard, by a vote of 5-0. This recommendation occurred prior to the Village Council establishing minimum criteria for the keeping of chickens. Staff recommends action at the discretion of the Village Council and recommends against any relief for the fencing.
| RESULT: MOTION CARRIED BY ROLL CALL [6 TO 1]
MOVER: Tim Millar, District 1 Councilman SECONDER: Scott Lamerand, District 2 Councilman AYES: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Helms NAYS: Kozlowski |
5. Consider an Ordinance Granting a Special Use and Variation to Allow for a Garage at 108 S. Walnut Street - Motion Carried by Roll Call (Council District: Two)
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg presented the petitioner's revision of a detached two-story garage initially reviewed and continued at the April 3rd Village Council meeting. The revisions include altering the roof’s pitch and including a dormer for standing access to the 2nd floor storage area. The basic footprint remains consistent with the initial design (597 square feet vs. 593 square feet) and with the change in roof pitch, the maximum height increased from 23.5 feet to 25 feet.
In response to Councilman Millar about mechanicals, Village Manager Reid Ottesen stated that the purpose is for storage and precludes mechanical cooling, heating and plumbing.
Councilman Kozlowski asked about the dormer, Vyverberg said it is a shed type dormer where the staircase ascends.

E. COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE – Time: 7:30 PM
KOLLIN KOZLOWSKI, CHAIRMAN
1. Consider a Motion Approving a Preliminary Planned Development to Allow a Six-Story, With an Enclosed Rooftop Amenity Area, Mixed-Use Development at 180 - 190 N. Smith Street (Durty Nellie's) - Approved by Roll Call (Council District: Six)
Village Manager Reid Ottesen clarified this is a Preliminary Approval request, seeking Council input on the concept with parking an unresolved issue.
Planning & Zoning Director Ben Vyverberg presented the petitioner’s proposal to redevelop the existing site with a new 81-foot tall, 6-story L-shaped building with 85 residential units with balconies, 9,500 square feet of ground floor commercial use with Durty Nellies bar/restaurant in two tenant spaces and the drive through bank. A 2,600 square foot roof-top area would be an outdoor patio area for Nellies and an enclosed amenity area for the residents with direct elevator access. The building is adjacent to the 60-foot tall Gateway building and 73-foot tall parking deck.
Ottesen explained total off-street parking spaces required by code are 2 per unit, or 170. One space per bedroom would require 85 parking spaces.
While there are currently 41 surface spaces, the petitioner proposes 30. Staff will work with the petitioners to finalize the proper ratio. Ottesen noted there was more commercial use initially, now surface parking for retail duplicates the retail parking in the deck. Petitioners are pursuing parking from the garage and from private lots in the area. They understand that formal parking agreements are mandatory prior to pursuing Final Planned Development approval.
Ottesen said the proposed project, density, and use is a policy question for the Council as it is a transition from the existing Planned Development Land Use.
Concerns expressed at the Plan Commission were: storm water management, off-street parking, congestion, traffic, short-term rental and building location. Benefits cited were: the positive impact to the Downtown, increased activity, benefits to businesses, and retaining Nellies. The Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the Preliminary Planned Development. Staff recommends action at the Village Council’s discretion.
Councilmen Lamerand and Kozlowski support the mixed use with residential and commercial, but they are opposed until they know the impact of density, traffic, congestion, rush hour, parking, emergency vehicles. Councilman Kozlowski opposes giving up any public parking.
Ottesen said a study is taking place now, but preliminary indications are that in addition to Kramer and Kinsch and this proposal, we could absorb a few hundred more living units with what’s planned with the Palatine Road expansion.
Councilman Helms believes this is a positive diversified use, retaining Nellies, roof top entertainment, it's all good. Parking is the issue. Ottesen confirmed Councilman Helms' comment that, if denied, a Special Use cannot return for consideration for a year, but a Preliminary Planned Development can return, if tabled or referred back to staff. This petitioner is seeking direction.
Mayor Schwantz stated that the petitioner is responsible for finding the needed parking, not the Village. The drive-through bank was a challenge when first proposed, situated next to a bar, now it is imbedded in a mixed-use commercial/living building which is more challenging with the traffic flow. He asked if anyone expressed interest in buying Nellies as it is.
Councilman Millar had concern for drive-through and the alley for through traffic, loading and unloading, groceries, moving in and out. How does all that work? He said he would expect underground parking. Ottesen added that there is no bridge to the parking deck proposed.
Vyverberg confirmed that this would be the most-dense project in town.
Councilman Solberg said parking for luxury living must be in the deck, people would expect covered parking.
Councilman Myslinski stated he thinks this is spot-on ideal for downtown and the train.
Ottesen added that the project would have a positive impact on the Smith/Colfax water project by storing more water than what is stored today. He will survey neighboring communities on parking resolutions for apartment buildings.
Jonathan Payne, 600 Broadway, Nashville, Tennessee, developers of Deer Park and the Arboretum, spoke for Jim Tinaglia, architect who is at another meeting this evening.
Parking is what drives this whole concept. He was contacted by the Dolezal brothers to design economic viability, retail, continued Nellies and Pan American Bank and he is very capable of traffic and parking studies. We were looking for your input, exactly as we have received tonight. We know we must figure out the parking, we did envision a bridge to the parking deck. Residents of the building ARE going to park in the parking deck. We are
confident that this is economically viable. The height was based on hiding the parking deck and stepping the building down for aesthetics.
Councilman Solberg stated that before the Gateway Center was built, eventually a tall building was envisioned for this location to be a bookend to the Providence.
In response to Councilman Millar regarding the location of the main entrance, Payne said it would be on the 5th or top floor to a bridge to the garage.
In response to Councilman Solberg, Payne said the current building will be demolished, the bank will be functioning from a temporary building trailer.
Councilman Helms and Kozlowski agreed that the Village cannot forfeit public parking spaces when future needs are unknown.
Mayor Schwantz added the Village reserves the right to determine if drive through lanes remain part of the final approval. Fire lanes, traffic flows, etc. are essential. Motion maker and seconder agreed. Payne stated that Pam American Bank is a major partner in the project.
Jim Dolezal, owner of Durty Nellies, stated it has been difficult and they have looked to sell. This is the best option.
Roman Golash, 418 E. Juniper Drive, asked if there is a shortage of studio apartments and what is the impact of the Bears coming to the area, and traffic at this intersection. Care must be taken.
