REQUEST FOR ZONING MAP AMENDMENT- RANDY LIVELY, 2823 LINCOLN ROAD
Director of Community Development Napolitano summarized recent Council
discussions regarding Mr. Randy Lively's request for a zoning map amendment for his
property located at 2823 Lincoln Road. He noted Council directed the applicant to work
with Staff to seek alternative means for property access for Mr. Lively's proposed second
lot. Director Napolitano stated Staff met with the applicant and developed three possible
options for driveway locations:
• Option 1: provides for a new driveway serving the new lot. It would be located —
approximately 90 feet from the Hilltop School driveway
• Option 2: provides for a new driveway entering the site at the middle of the existing
home and then "Tee-ing" to the east and west to serve both lots. This driveway
would be located approximately 140 feet from the Hilltop School driveway. The
April 10, 2006

existing driveway would be closed;
• Option 3. utilizes the existing driveway and adds an extension to the east to serve
the new lot. This driveway would be located approximately 195 feet from the Hilltop
School driveway.
Director Napolitano stated Staff is recommending denial of the request and further
stated due to the circumstances surrounding this petition, Staff is recommending that any
relevant City fees be reimbursed to the applicant.
Alderman Peterson requested clarification regarding the easement reversion. City
Attorney McArdle explained he spoke with the applicant's attorney Steve Cuda who told
him he wrote the language that way in the event the easement was no longer required.
Alderman Condon stated she is pleased the applicant is being reimbursed; she
cannot support the requested zoning map amendment because of aesthetic concerns.
Alderman Santi concurred with Alderman Condon.
Mr. Lively addressed Council stating he has a document which states he can have
access directly onto Lincoln Road. City Administrator Maxeiner stated the referenced
document grants crossing, not access to Lincoln Road. City Attorney McArdle stated the
applicant should speak with his attorney regarding his issues.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Murgatroyd, to accept Staffs recommendation to
• deny the requested zoning map amendment from E Estate District to RS-2 Medium
Density Single Family Residential District, for 1.3 acres located at 2623 Lincoln .
Road as submitted by Randy Lively; and
• reimburse the applicant for any relevant City fees that he may have incurred as a
result of the application review process.

owner of the Southgate Business Center located at 810 North Front Street. Mr. Hayward is
requesting a sign variance to allow replacement of the existing free-standing sign face.
Director Napolitano noted the existing sign is located 3' 6"from the front property line. The

ORDINANCE AMENDING CENTEGRA NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER
CIRCULATION AND LAND USE PLAN
Director Napolitano stated a request has been received from Centegra Northern
Illinois Medical Center (NIMC) to modify thQir circulation and land use plan. Director
Napolitano noted this request is considered a major adjustment as it would complete the
ring road around the campus, as well as provide for the construction of vehicular
connections to Ridgeview Drive and Shamrock Lane. Director Napolitano stated the
Zoning Ordinance allows modification to an existing circulation and land use plan;
however, two types of adjustments are defined:
• Minor Adiustments, which can be made by the Zoning Administrator.
1.alter the location of public streets shown on the Plan by a distance which is 20
feet outside of the parameters shown on the Plan; or
2. change the boundary of the permitted and conditional land use groupings by a
distance of less than 50 feet.
• Maior Adiustme its, require Council approval and may be referred back to Planning
and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation:
Any alteration not defined as a Minor Adjustment
Director Napolitano noted the request before Council this evening is defined as a
Major Adjustment to the Centegra NIMC Circulation and Land Use Plan.
City Administrator Maxeiner stated Staff proposes the City participate in the cost of
the project in the amount of $950,000. The estimated total cost of the project is $1.5
million. City Administrator Maxeiner stated NIMC has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way
on Bull Valley Road and Route 31 to the City for future roadway improvements.
Discussion ensued regarding the number of lanes dedicated on the property which
would be necessary to accommodate proposed traffic. In response to an inquiry, City
Administrator Maxeiner stated funds would be distributed in June 2007.
Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Condon, to accept Stafrs recommendation to
approve an ordinance authorizing a Major Adjustment to the Circulation and Land
Use Plan for Centegra Northam Illinois Medical Center, and
authorize Staff to enter into an agreement with Northam Illinois Medical Center and
contribute $950,000, to be drawn from the annexation fund, for the Medical Drive
Extension, South Drive Extension, and the Shamrock Lane Connection, and, in _

REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT FOR OFF-.SITE SALES CENTER TOWN
AND COUNTRY HOMES
Director Napolitano stated Town and Country Homes,.developer of the Oaks at Irish
Prairie Subdivision, has requested a temporary use permit to allow an off-site sales center
for their development. The sales center would be situated at the southeast comer of the
intersection of Veteran's Parkway and Route 31.
Director Napolitano noted no roadways have been constructed on the Town and
Country site because final approvals have not yet been granted by the City. Veteran's
Parkway has not yet been extended to the boundary of the Morgan Hill Townhome
property, so there is currently no paved access to the Town and Country property. Director
Napolitano stated Staff recommends approval of the temporary use permit for a period not-
to-exceed 364 days.
Alderman Schaefer inquired as to the location of the advertising signs for the
development. Director Napolitano responded one would be located in front of the trailer .
and one would be located at the entrance to the Town and Country property.
In response to further inquiry, Director Napolitano stated final engineering is
currently under review for this subdivision.
Alderman Glab stated he cannot support the request. He does not believe a
temporary use applies statutorially to a structure and not just a use.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Santi, to accept Staffs recommendation to
approve a temporary use permit for an off-site trailer be granted to Town and Country
Homes for their Oaks at Irish Prairie Development for a period not-to-exceed 364 days.
