00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:43,290
Okay, thank you Sharon. We've all heard the consent agenda. We're looking for a motion to approve.

162
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:46,690
We have a first by Trustee Honig, second by Trustee Weir.

163
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:48,570
Sharon on a roll call, please.

164
00:16:49,830 --> 00:16:50,350
Trustee Honig.

165
00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:50,870
Hi.

166
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:51,670
Trustee Melatello.

167
00:16:52,570 --> 00:16:52,970
Trustee Weir.

168
00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:54,110
Trustee Wittington.

169
00:16:54,670 --> 00:16:55,310
Trustee Pugio.

170
00:16:55,490 --> 00:16:55,790
Hi.

171
00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:56,290
Trustee Pugio.

172
00:16:56,290 --> 00:16:56,390
Trustee Pugio.

173
00:16:57,530 --> 00:17:01,930
Okay, we're going to move on to items for separate action letter A. Sharon.

174
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:05,550
Other ordinances on first reading.

175
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:31,630
Item A, the Plan Commission submits its recommendation, the approval of a conditional use pursuant to section 155.415G2B 11 of Lombard Village Code to allow for a massage establishment as defined and regulated by Title 11 chapter 122 of the Lombard Village Code within the B4A Roosevelt Road corridor district in district two.

176
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:41,650
Thank you, Sharon. Was there any discussion on this? Looking for emotion? I'm a first

177
00:17:41,650 --> 00:17:47,230
by Trustee Puchio. Second by Trustee Woodington. Sharon on a roll call, please.

178
00:17:47,890 --> 00:17:52,870
Trustee Puchio. I, Trustee Puchio. I, Trustee Puchio. I, Trustee Puchio. No. Trustee Honig.

179
00:17:53,210 --> 00:18:00,370
Aye. Trustee Miletello. Aye. Trustee Weir. Aye. Trustee Woodington. Aye. Okay.

180
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:06,270
We'll be not to let her be, we're going to act, do we have a regional reach?

181
00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:08,270
She should read it and then build, can do the presentation.

182
00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:10,850
Go ahead and read it and then Bill's going to give a short presentation.

183
00:18:11,610 --> 00:18:11,790
Okay.

184
00:18:13,150 --> 00:18:15,710
The Plan Commission transmits for your consideration.

185
00:18:16,050 --> 00:18:22,690
It's recommendation to approve a zoning tax amendment to Section 155.417G2B.

186
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:28,430
The B4A Roosevelt Road corridor district of the village code to list storage centers

187
00:18:28,430 --> 00:18:34,490
provided that they use fronts along an arterial roadway as a conditional use in all the districts.

188
00:18:36,090 --> 00:18:40,550
Okay, still this item in the next one are companion items.

189
00:18:55,450 --> 00:18:56,570
Thank you, President General.

190
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:01,630
Staff is going to give a quick summation of the matters that were before the Plan

191
00:19:01,630 --> 00:19:05,390
Commission, earlier this month, the relative to two items.

192
00:19:05,650 --> 00:19:11,430
One is a text amendment to disowning ordinance and a companion request for a condition

193
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:16,070
to use to allow for a storage center use at a 50-eased Roosevelt Road.

194
00:19:17,770 --> 00:19:22,370
The first action right now, storage centers are not listed as a permitted or conditional

195
00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:22,810
use.

196
00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:29,290
So, the first request that is being contemplated and being requested by the petitioner is

197
00:19:29,850 --> 00:19:37,190
to include it within the provisions of the zoning ordinance and in consideration of that,

198
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:42,650
The conference a plan does identify rows of road quarters, a community commercial shopping area,

199
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:50,990
it provides for services beyond daily living needs, in the past, such storage centers have been deemed

200
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:56,490
compatible with other commercial uses within the quarter, and they tend to generate fewer trips

201
00:19:56,490 --> 00:19:59,750
and many of the other restaurant and retail uses along the corridor.

202
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:22,940
That is a precursor and should the village board take an action on that item. That sets the pretext for the actual petition that is being contemplated day, a 50-east, reservoir road. So there will be two votes on the matter. One do a men the village code and then the second would be to consider the petition that is before us tonight.

203
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:30,180
The property, as I noted, is zoned before a reservoir of quarter district, and they're looking

204
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:34,540
for a conditionally used for a storage center should the first action be approved.

205
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,520
The petitioner, who is in the audience and can ask questions if so needed, has identified

206
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:49,560
a standard prototype, beyond self storage is the entity that be looking to utilize the site.

207
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,920
We did undertake a communication efforts.

208
00:20:53,780 --> 00:21:00,080
There was a voluntary neighborhood meeting back in December 11, 2019, and through some of the

209
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,500
resident comment of the people that attended, the petitioner did modify their site plan,

210
00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:08,840
their original looking at possibly a variation on the eastern and the property.

211
00:21:09,620 --> 00:21:14,300
That has now been removed for the plan that was brought before the plan commission.

212
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:17,900
The building was shifted to the west.

213
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:28,840
We went through our standard public hearing notification process to include the people that were at the meeting as well as everyone that is required through the village code to be notified.

214
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:34,960
And we did have regular engagement through social media and outreach directly by staff.

215
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:41,160
Key items for tonight include recognition of the property.

216
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:52,120
It is zoned before A. It's been vacant, vacant property through the years, and it's been zoned commercial at least since the 1970s.

217
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:57,680
The petitioners request consists of the conditioners itself.

218
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:03,300
They are going, they're intending to actually meet all the other provisions of village code.

219
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,740
When we talk about permitted and conditional uses, this slide was put together.

220
00:22:07,740 --> 00:22:18,020
The items that are on the left if the petitioner wanted to so put the locate one of those businesses on the property they could do it simply by applying for a building permit.

221
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,900
Conditional uses that means it needs to go through a public care process which the plan commission did.

222
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,380
The project details and some of the comments that people have asked about the building height.

223
00:22:31,380 --> 00:22:34,900
It's approximately 37 feet, six inches,

224
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,300
by right of buildings can be up to 40 feet in height

225
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:39,220
within that district.

226
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:42,540
They are going to meet the transitional buildings setbacks.

227
00:22:42,620 --> 00:22:44,540
That's the distance between the building

228
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:48,660
and the east property line, both without before you feet,

229
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,560
and the landscape, which you'd be 30 feet.

230
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:52,860
So they intend to meet those provisions.

231
00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:58,020
And again, it could be, with the conditional use

232
00:22:58,020 --> 00:22:59,540
approval, it could be constructed.

233
00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:03,220
One question, what is the conditional use?

234
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:07,740
It is an item think of it in terms of a traffic light.

235
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:12,580
Permitted use can be similarly apply for your building permits and you can go ahead and do it.

236
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:16,940
A yellow light is you need to go through a conditioners process.

237
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,160
A red light means you would need to get a variance.

238
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,980
And they are not seeking any advances associated with this approval request.

239
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:26,640
The petitioner applied for elevations.

240
00:23:26,820 --> 00:23:32,880
It's going to be a mix of a metal seam roof, brick masonry components, as it was shown

241
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,960
in the earlier exhibits.

242
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,580
The building itself will be oriented towards Roosevelt Road.

243
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,860
The main entrance of itself will actually be on the west side of the property.

244
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,160
One thing that is unique if we don't have with other storage centers within the village

245
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,960
of Lombard at this point time is that all the loading and unloading should be

246
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,740
done inside the building itself. One would enter, based on the exhibit here,

247
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,540
enter our

248
00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:07,760
offer as a vote road, proceed up to the north circle around, go in the building park, unload

249
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:14,980
whatever is to be unloaded or stored, and then come on out. One of the things that did come

250
00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:20,340
up in both the Planck Mission public hearing, as well as just general comments that we've

251
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:24,960
heard, concerns about stormwater management. And before this, even one before the Planck

252
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:31,220
commission, it was readily recognized that this is a special management area.

253
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:36,960
And special management areas mean that the villager lumbar doesn't have the sole approval

254
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,400
authority to approve any permits that has to be reviewed by DuPage County.

255
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,060
What you see on the exhibit right here is wetland floodplain areas that have been previously

256
00:24:47,060 --> 00:24:48,000
mapped out.

257
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,800
So far west portion and the northern portion of it is identified as a special management

258
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:59,620
area. That area has to more or less be protected or preserved essentially as is.

259
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,880
So that information was contemplated as one of the first steps before the petitioner actually developed their site plan.

260
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:13,120
And you can see a little more in the context of this exhibit itself, and that is the reason why.

261
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:22,060
The proposed building was pushed to the south as close as a practical and to the east as close as possible to keep away from the wetlands for applying.

262
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:29,400
And one thing that was recognized as part of any development, you need to provide strong water detention.

263
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,400
This plan shows that there are going to be two detention facilities, and that's above and beyond any stormwater

264
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:41,400
or wetland flood-playing areas that has to be located outside of that in the petitioner.

265
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:44,460
Partitioner has sought that through the plan itself.

266
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:49,580
There are some comments regarding landscaping in one of the conditions of approval was to provide

267
00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:58,060
a between landscape preservation to the north and additional transitional landscaping to be code that we provide on the east side of the property.

268
00:25:58,060 --> 00:26:00,700
So, the Planck Commission did hear the matter.

269
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,740
They heard the presentations, took the public comment, and they recommended approval

270
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:12,380
to the petition to the Village Board subject to conditions within the Ornsov approval.

271
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:17,260
This is the Ornsov required two Ornsov readings for approval.

272
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:23,040
I should the Village Board preceded this matter, this matter will appear for second and

273
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,220
final reading on March 5th.

274
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:28,500
development within accordance to the plans,

275
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,340
address any things that were identified

276
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:32,560
in the interdepartmental review report,

277
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,960
apply for receipt and receive permits,

278
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,020
before an activity starts,

279
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,220
and then a private,

280
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,380
provides some additional landscape

281
00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:41,900
and screening as set forth.

282
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:43,760
So with that staff,

283
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:46,080
would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding the petition.

284
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:51,200
Thank you.

285
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:51,920
Thank you.

286
00:26:52,180 --> 00:26:53,200
Thank you.

287
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,020
So if I'm understand you quickly,

288
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,160
Bill,

289
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
is that they've almost

290
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:05,260
helped or even overdid some of this stuff for a possible water retention in the future.

291
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:11,160
Yes, the intent is to meet all the provisions, all the provisions, the county stormwater

292
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,860
or instance, as well as our local amendments, and I think this plan is probably the most important.

293
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:19,340
None of the stormwater detention will be located within wetlands or floodplain areas.

294
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,820
This will be above and beyond. Right now, the property generates a sheet of drains to the north

295
00:27:23,820 --> 00:27:25,380
and to the west.

296
00:27:25,740 --> 00:27:31,840
This will be an opportunity actually to provide for additional attention on site, both to

297
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,500
meet the requirements that development would not earn in a half, but also to make sure

298
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:41,940
that the floodplain and wetland areas are not negatively impacted through the development.

299
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Okay, perfect.

300
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:44,460
Thank you.

301
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:47,080
Who does that follow-up?

302
00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:52,440
So after this, let's say this is built, who does the follow-up to make sure that everything

303
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,540
is structured properly.

304
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:55,740
Two things.

305
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,300
Both field staff and because this is a special management area do page county also will have

306
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:05,500
an oversight authority because of the special management area component to it as well.

307
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:07,580
Does that size in it?

308
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:09,660
And what happens if it's not met?

309
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,180
That's say, for whatever reason, the flooding is worse.

310
00:28:12,620 --> 00:28:13,160
What happens?

311
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,400
And things aren't met.

312
00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:15,560
What would happen that?

313
00:28:16,060 --> 00:28:21,760
Just like with any situation, if the plan doesn't meet code compliance through the county

314
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,960
regulations and through ours, the petitioner, or the developer, would actually have to

315
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,820
make steps to correct the deficiency from the planet itself.

316
00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:39,040
And how is that then? I mean, who enforces that? Is that where the county comes in on that?

317
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:47,840
It's really a two step process. The village do page county reviews and approves the special

318
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,920
management area component, but the village itself would also have an enforcement

319
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,760
L arm to it as well. So if the detention ponds are not being properly maintained,

320
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,160
we can take code enforcement action on that as well. The riparian areas associated with the

321
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,980
wetland and floodplain do page county also has oversight on that as well. And they would work

322
00:29:06,980 --> 00:29:09,880
through us if there was a violation for follow up.

323
00:29:12,610 --> 00:29:14,210
Any other questions for Bill?

324
00:29:15,690 --> 00:29:25,290
Okay, we will, we have one resident who would like to speak on this particular issue, text

325
00:29:25,290 --> 00:29:25,690
amendment.

326
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:31,590
This is a two-part issue, text amendment, and then if the text amendment is approved, whether

327
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:36,330
or not to grant the conditional use, and this is only on the text amendment.

328
00:29:37,550 --> 00:29:43,130
But before we start, I don't know how many of you folks, I know some out here have been

329
00:29:43,130 --> 00:29:49,090
board meetings. Some may not have ever been to a board meeting. It may sound

330
00:29:49,090 --> 00:29:52,950
corny, but I believe it and every person sitting up here believes that we

331
00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:58,610
consider this room and what happens in this room as part of our Lombard House.

332
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,860
So we expect to be treated just the way you expect to be treated with respect. And we're a majority of us in here, our

333
00:30:07,860 --> 00:30:20,920
Lombardians. And let's keep that in mind too. All, you know, everybody's sitting up here that has a vote. It's from Lombardians. We're just like you. So there will be no yelling,

334
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:32,820
no applauding, no screaming, no swearing, at all, we respect each other and believe me, believe

335
00:30:32,820 --> 00:30:38,600
me, I will not let anything get out of hand. And I expect that from the trustees, I expect

336
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:46,780
it of myself, and I expect it from anybody here if you're going to speak or not. And again,

337
00:30:46,780 --> 00:30:56,040
I'm not trying to come down as, you know, I'm a fairly nice guy, but I, again, will not allow the meeting to get out of hand.

338
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:10,120
And we can't accomplish anything with screaming and yelling and applauding, you'll have three minutes, get your point across, please, because I don't like cutting people off, but I have to, three minutes.

339
00:31:11,380 --> 00:31:18,320
Okay, so we have Jeremy Hops, okay, that'll be the first and if you come up to the podium,

340
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,160
we just need to state your name for the record, no address or anything,

341
00:31:25,630 --> 00:31:25,710
right.

342
00:31:26,410 --> 00:31:31,370
Jeremy, you are speaking solely on the text amendment on this one.

343
00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:32,590
Thank you.

344
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,140
Thank you Mr. President, thank you to the board.

345
00:31:38,380 --> 00:31:41,000
I've been in Lombard for about 10 years.

346
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:49,720
I know that there is the acceptance of buildings that are three stories, 40 feet in the area.

347
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,620
I don't recall seeing that many of them.

348
00:31:53,580 --> 00:32:00,080
The one thing that would stand out to me is that I've seen a lot of different storage facilities.

349
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:05,940
And primarily the ones that I've seen that are more than one story or in industrial areas.

350
00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:11,520
And so I feel like that would be a detriment to allow that ordinance to pass in the

351
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Lombard area, because I think that there's a lot of areas, there are a lot of streets

352
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:22,800
that border along that area, the corridor, that would really suffer from aesthetic purposes

353
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,920
as well as I think our property values, and I would like you all to please consider that.

354
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,060
Thank you.

355
00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:31,160
Thank you.

356
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:35,800
Was there any other comment on the board

357
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,840
looking for a motion?

358
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,120
We have a first by trustee. We'll tell those second by trustee Puchio.

359
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,540
Motion to approve, correct? Yes.

360
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Mm-hmm.

361
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,020
That wasn't told. No, it was.

362
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,000
No, it was. Hello, and Puchio.

363
00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:54,340
You're in the roll call?

364
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,360
Trustee Malatala.

365
00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:57,300
All right. Trustee Wear.

366
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,440
All right.

367
00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,540
Trustee Wear,ington.

368
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,660
All right.

369
00:33:00,860 --> 00:33:02,380
Trustee Puchio. All right.

370
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,420
Trustee Portinavitch.

371
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,760
Trustee Honig.

372
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:09,430
Let her see.

373
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:14,100
Yeah.

374
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:16,680
And self-storage 850 East Roosevelt Road.

375
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,420
The Plan Commission transmits for your consideration.

376
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:26,680
It's recommendation to approve a zoning conditional use for so intersection 155.417G2B.

377
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:34,300
Of the Lombard Village Code to allow for a storage center provided that the use fronts along our anaterial roadway.

378
00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:40,360
And the subject property located within the B4A Reservot Road corridor district in District 6.

379
00:33:41,220 --> 00:33:41,780
Thank you, Sharon.

380
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,580
We will go right into public participation.

381
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,500
Jeremy, you're back up.

382
00:33:51,220 --> 00:33:52,760
Sorry, it was just the way they were stacked.

383
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,320
I could have just had to stay out there.

384
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,920
Jeremy helps 1147 South-Arens.

385
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:11,380
As I said, I've been in the area for 10 years.

386
00:34:11,380 --> 00:34:13,220
So we just bought our house last year.

387
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,800
When I look out my door, I can see the big sign that is there on the left where the property

388
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,500
is in question, it's right adjacent to it.

389
00:34:23,660 --> 00:34:25,500
I can see that sign pretty clearly.

390
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,340
I can only imagine what it's going to look like when I can see a three-story building there.

391
00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:35,480
A lot of the trees are deciduous trees are going to be removed in order to put in the detention

392
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,400
and I feel like that's going to definitely change the view and make it even more obvious

393
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:47,140
than I can see this big structure at the end of my street.

394
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,400
You know, part of the reason I moved to Lombard was obviously for the beautification, you know,

395
00:34:55,700 --> 00:34:59,640
that the city has put into it in the village and I think that's very important.

396
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:07,480
There's not a storage facility within a mile in either direction that's more than one story.

397
00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:18,420
To me, that means that, obviously, the village and even in corporate areas have made a decision that this is part of a reason why they don't want to make anything too tall,

398
00:35:18,780 --> 00:35:23,180
because it would obstruct a lot of views from, you know, beyond the main corridor.

399
00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:30,100
So I think it's a valid point that a three story is a big issue because it is mostly in an industrial area.

400
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,680
And if it were one story, it wouldn't probably even be an issue.

401
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,500
I think a lot of us would understand, okay, you know, that this is maybe something that could be used.

402
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,960
But there's also so many other storage areas in the area.

403
00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:48,680
And we find it very hard to justify having a three story building in an area that's already saturated.

404
00:35:49,580 --> 00:35:52,080
I'm sure that point will be made multiple times.

405
00:35:54,180 --> 00:36:00,200
As I said, I know that the zoning area, as a petitioner mentioned, the zoning area is allowing

406
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,600
up to three stories.

407
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:08,200
But as you can tell, by anybody that's lived in that area, that this area is stayed the

408
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:13,400
way that stayed by not allowing a three-store building to really be built on the main quarter

409
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,140
because of the static summit.

410
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:20,780
And it would be very hard to find a building that would blend in well with a lot of single

411
00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:24,180
story buildings went to a three story building that's going to stick out like a sort of

412
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,040
thumb.

413
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,480
I just think that it would really be a detriment to allow something like this to happen.

414
00:36:32,940 --> 00:36:39,340
I can't speak for the water backing up for the flood plains because I don't live in that

415
00:36:39,340 --> 00:36:43,700
area on that side of the street but I can see just by the picture that there's a chance

416
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:48,580
that it might make its way over to me if it floods too much because I'm just across the street

417
00:36:48,580 --> 00:36:51,220
from where a lot of the people will have a problem with it.

418
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,300
And I would really hate to see people who lose their homes.

419
00:36:54,740 --> 00:36:56,440
Because I know that they're trying

420
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,920
to build something that's definitely up to code

421
00:36:58,920 --> 00:36:59,860
and everything like that.

422
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,720
But we've looked at a lot of what has happened in the neighborhood

423
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,880
and just as an understanding that the displacement

424
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,860
of the land, we've got to wrap it up, yes, sir.

425
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,300
Sorry, the displacement of the land

426
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:15,820
is going to be a detriment to the water area.

427
00:37:16,220 --> 00:37:17,500
We hope that you consider that.

428
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:17,940
Thank you.

429
00:37:17,940 --> 00:37:19,240
Thank you.

430
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:28,200
I forgot to say this, but we are going to do like the on deck system just to kind of move things along a little bit.

431
00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:29,900
Next would be William.

432
00:37:31,940 --> 00:37:32,920
Start with a B.

433
00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:36,510
You're okay.

434
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:38,410
Bob.

435
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:41,430
You're on Morris. I can't.

436
00:37:42,170 --> 00:37:42,270
Roble.

437
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:43,510
Roble.

438
00:37:43,730 --> 00:37:44,070
I'm deck.

439
00:37:44,490 --> 00:37:45,830
On deck would be Stephanie.

440
00:37:45,830 --> 00:37:46,890
And

441
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:55,010
that car was out of line.

442
00:37:59,240 --> 00:37:59,360
evening.

443
00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:01,320
My name is Bob Roble.

444
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,180
I apologize for speaking out of turn last meeting.

445
00:38:05,060 --> 00:38:16,280
I just like to know too what makes this ground so gourmet that these guys can't build something like this in a more industrial area instead of a residential area.

446
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,680
There are any streets and sand guys in the building here.

447
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:25,380
You know that there is a very dangerous, not dangerous, a very vital area for flooding.

448
00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:32,060
It's a huge problem. We've been here six years now and we've only had like maybe four or five

449
00:38:32,060 --> 00:38:37,400
inches of rain that really came down bad. But I took a bike ride and I could just see

450
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:44,480
just south of us, there's a ditch that the guys got four feet of water in the side of his house

451
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,920
compared to the other guy's side of the house and it's just flowing like a banshee and then you go

452
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:55,280
by that pond that's just southwest of us and it's overflowed and it's all in the communities

453
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,080
over there too.

454
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,280
Tell you here on a news now is global warming.

455
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,540
More heavy rains, more storms, more frequent rains.

456
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,240
You turn on a news, Mississippi, they're underwater.

457
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:08,260
Where are you guys going to do one?

458
00:39:08,260 --> 00:39:12,900
You're maxed out, your sewer drains are maxed out and 90 plus percent.

459
00:39:13,340 --> 00:39:14,500
Where is this stuff going to go?

460
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,860
in our yards, up our basements, up our floors.

461
00:39:18,620 --> 00:39:23,380
It's going to be the lawyers and the builders,

462
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:25,100
are going to be nowhere to be found,

463
00:39:25,460 --> 00:39:27,460
and we're going to point our fingers to it.

464
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:30,080
It's a problem already, and it's going to

465
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,560
possibly be a bigger problem if this thing goes in

466
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,680
without proper drainage, which it's been a swamp for 60 years.

467
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,200
There's a reason for that.

468
00:39:39,540 --> 00:39:43,520
Why can't the village vehement unbuildable and let it be

469
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:49,200
where it's going to be because it could escalate into a bigger, wetter problem if this thing goes down.

470
00:39:50,340 --> 00:39:51,400
It's all I got. Thank you.

471
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,080
Thank you.

472
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
I'm deck would be Lynn Roby.

473
00:40:07,450 --> 00:40:15,930
Hi, I'm the trustees and president, Giorno. I'm Stephanie Ostralsky, and I'm a 50 year resident of

474
00:40:15,930 --> 00:40:28,450
Lombard. And I don't know if this is the time in place to say this or not, but I know of no other time.

475
00:40:28,450 --> 00:40:36,050
I have a list of ones for beyond self-storage if this goes through, unfortunately.

476
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:52,110
At no time, will any tax-lombard tax dollars be used to improve the access or exit from beyond self-storage?

477
00:40:52,110 --> 00:40:59,250
No tax paid dollars should ever be used in any way for the building.

478
00:41:01,030 --> 00:41:10,050
Beyond self-storage has to be responsible for planting U.C. dissiduous trees, but I would

479
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:12,870
like fast-growing evergreen trees.

480
00:41:14,130 --> 00:41:16,570
On two sides of the building to hide the building,

481
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:21,700
I don't want necessarily so many dissiduous

482
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:28,320
trees because that will just add to our leaf pick up that we pay for and so that's going

483
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,500
to cost us money.

484
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,900
No one other than the grounds crew should be walking around the grounds

485
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,560
of beyond self storage during the day.

486
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:48,030
No additions can be allowed to the exterior of beyond

487
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:57,990
storage. We would not like vending machines on the outside of the building. Every expense caused

488
00:41:57,990 --> 00:42:07,270
by beyond self-storage needs to be paid by beyond self-storage. No County, Lombard, Township

489
00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:13,450
or State Money can be used for anything beyond self-storage needs.

490
00:42:15,790 --> 00:42:17,330
Beyond self-storage needs

491
00:42:17,330 --> 00:42:23,010
to abide by all federal state county of DuPage and Village of Lombard laws.

492
00:42:24,930 --> 00:42:27,230
I'm curious about the I. permit.

493
00:42:29,660 --> 00:42:32,380
I don't think that's been thoroughly addressed.

494
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:34,700
The

495
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:40,820
trash, the screening of the trash, is an issue and I want to make sure that, you know,

496
00:42:40,820 --> 00:42:46,420
probably there is going to be trash when it's going to knock it over. I'd like to know

497
00:42:46,420 --> 00:42:50,340
But somebody's going to pick up this trash that's going to get knocked over.

498
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:58,200
Any modifications to alter the project need to go to the plan commission.

499
00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:00,920
And that's my say.

500
00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:03,640
Okay, thank you.

501
00:43:03,820 --> 00:43:04,080
Len?

502
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:05,360
Excuse me.

503
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,760
Can we get a copy of that?

504
00:43:07,100 --> 00:43:07,400
Sure.

505
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:08,480
I'll be fine if I didn't.

506
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,320
I think she seems to be.

507
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:10,320
Yes.

508
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,080
Stephanie, do you happen to have a copy of your list?

509
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:36,680
Okay, well, yeah, I think it would be helpful for staff to communicate with the board prior to final vote if it is approved in terms of those things which could potentially be under village control and there's some other ones on their like state funds

510
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:49,420
I don't think it would be appropriate for the village to make an opinion on state funds but it might be helpful for us to provide a comment on each of those and for the information of the public and the board

511
00:43:49,420 --> 00:43:54,940
I think one of the things that Mr. Strasky was talking about is village incentives and there

512
00:43:54,940 --> 00:44:00,140
are no incentive requests from the petitioner for this. They're building it all on their

513
00:44:00,140 --> 00:44:02,980
own accord without any rebate of property tax and...

514
00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:04,640
Carol, are you going to be in the same town?

515
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,020
Okay. Maybe you can coordinate that.

516
00:44:11,060 --> 00:44:14,740
Okay. So you can coordinate through Carol.

517
00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:18,560
Okay, all right. Okay. Good.

518
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:22,060
You're all set.

519
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,220
I'm Lynn Robe.

520
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:24,500
I'm sorry.

521
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:25,680
One second, Lynn.

522
00:44:25,860 --> 00:44:26,260
Valerie.

523
00:44:27,420 --> 00:44:27,900
Do you all?

524
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,040
I'm going to disclose.

525
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:32,860
I'm sorry.

526
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,180
I won't interrupt you again.

527
00:44:35,860 --> 00:44:36,860
My name is Lynn Robe.

528
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,760
My mother's house is at 1125 South Airens.

529
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:44,960
My house is at 1032 South School Street.

530
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:53,600
I have been a resident for over 50 years here in Lombard and we've owned our house on school street for over 30 years.

531
00:44:54,420 --> 00:44:58,620
When we moved in we were one of the highest houses on the block and the area.

532
00:44:59,180 --> 00:44:59,940
We are now...

533
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:28,020
Like the second lowest. And we've had nothing but flooding problems, flooding problems, flooding problems. Every time somebody is allowed to do something that I would think would be illegal, like all the houses that used to be little tiny houses. And they were torn down, they built these huge houses. And all that water has to go somewhere. And they were allowed, like the house behind me was allowed to build up six feet above my property line. They used to be one of the lowest houses.

534
00:45:28,020 --> 00:45:34,660
The hagai is next to me. They were allowed to build. They're about two feet higher than me, but they were lower than me before.

535
00:45:35,140 --> 00:45:40,780
And we fought all of this and we kept saying, hey, and the village kept saying, oh, no, this won't happen. This won't happen.

536
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:43,900
That house won't be higher than yours. But once it's built, it's there.

537
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,760
We had an illegal house built that we were able to stop the garage from going up.

538
00:45:48,980 --> 00:45:55,120
But then when we got our city sewers and sidewalks, they said, oh, they could, and they allowed them to build more.

539
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,500
Now, all these houses around me are starting to flood.

540
00:45:58,820 --> 00:46:00,060
They're older people mostly.

541
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,300
This whole area is older people.

542
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,140
We're flooding all the time.

543
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:06,120
1032 South Skull Street.

544
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,880
Go on my backyard right now,

545
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,500
and you'll see half of it is flooded over with ice.

546
00:46:10,940 --> 00:46:14,400
And even though they finally put an empty lot to collect water,

547
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,860
the way they did it, the water never goes there.

548
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,340
It just sits in my backyard.

549
00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:19,780
And we watch it flow.

550
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:22,100
The French plumbing that lumbered told me about,

551
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:23,780
how the water is supposed to go over the hill

552
00:46:23,780 --> 00:46:26,720
and down the road, I don't know, grab a five-year-old

553
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:28,440
dance to them if they think water goes uphill.

554
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,700
It doesn't, and it hasn't, and that's been many years.

555
00:46:32,180 --> 00:46:34,840
My mother's house, water all over the place.

556
00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:38,560
That pond back there, the hidden, whatever it's,

557
00:46:38,580 --> 00:46:40,500
water's so far that sometimes they can't even get

558
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:41,280
through their streets.

559
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,560
Why do we want to do this when we have not

560
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,720
repaired the issues we already have?

561
00:46:47,940 --> 00:46:52,900
That whole area is so flooded, so overdone and damaged

562
00:46:52,900 --> 00:47:02,300
When they put in that our sewage, my husband, who has a couple of master's degrees, tried to talk to them and explained to them that the sewage system was not big enough for that area.

563
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,660
They kept selling him no. Well, guess what? It's not big enough for that area.

564
00:47:08,860 --> 00:47:13,740
So, now the water goes instead of going down my driveway goes up my driveway into my driveway.

565
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:20,200
It sits in my backyard. It's there right now. It's been there for months. It sits in my mother's yard.

566
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,940
It sits in my neighbor's yard where destroying these houses.

567
00:47:24,820 --> 00:47:32,480
These people that have been willing to stick with Lombard for decades are being destroyed by this.

568
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:38,440
And I'm saying, why don't you come and fix that empty lot across for me and make sure the water drains out of there

569
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,040
so that when more water comes from this area on Roosevelt Road, it's not going to go into my backyard.

570
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,360
You're going to have to write. So that's my point. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

571
00:47:53,470 --> 00:47:55,470
Dan Jesky?

572
00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:58,640
Yes.

573
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:00,260
You're on deck.

574
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:02,160
Hi.

575
00:48:02,380 --> 00:48:02,760
Good evening.

576
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:03,880
I'm Valerie Ewalt.

577
00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:06,620
I live in the old Grove area over there.

578
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:15,480
My concern is primarily has to do with the property values that are going to affect the entire old Grove area.

579
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,180
If that storage facility is built where it's at.

580
00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:24,560
That storage facility is going to back on to the properties over on here.

581
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:31,540
It's going to decrease their values, subsequently that's going to decrease the values of all the properties in the area.

582
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:38,620
And I know for a majority of lumber, that's not going to matter, but it is going to be matter to the people and old growth.

583
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,080
But I also have a huge concern with regards to the flooding.

584
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:48,580
I give the petitioner credit in that they did try to address the issues that we talked about at the meeting.

585
00:48:49,820 --> 00:48:58,220
But when we were at the planning commission, they were talking about, you know, they changed the larger detention areas, but they're all only four feet deep.

586
00:48:58,620 --> 00:49:09,980
Currently, the property is built, I mean, it's got a ton of huge trees, it's got plants and vegetation throughout, and it's got the little creek area.

587
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:16,980
So if you take away all those plants, you know, they're going to have, you know, obviously

588
00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:22,440
lose quite a bit of the planage plants, and they're going to plant some new trees, which

589
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,420
are not going to be older, well settled.

590
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:32,630
All of the water that those trees and plants take in currently is just going to go into the

591
00:49:33,830 --> 00:49:59,610
those detention ponds then flow into the creek area. You know, is my understanding based upon what was stated at the Commission, or at the Planning Commission meeting, is there's going to be little drainage that's going to drain it slower into the area that's going to the creek area that's going to turn around and flow and going to those ponds.

592
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:18,720
Over in the old-growth area. I live in that area, so I see this. I'm the one who took the pictures. That show the bench and everything. So this is something that is going to be an ongoing issue. My concern is that it's not going to be properly taken care of just by doing four feet deep.

593
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:25,740
And the question is, when it doesn't work, or if it isn't effective, and there is flooding,

594
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:31,920
who's going to be responsible for changing that to make sure that there isn't future flooding?

595
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:38,580
And is the storage units, are they going to turn around and change things?

596
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:44,620
Because the way it's stated right now, you're talking about if it meets regulations currently, it's going to be okay.

597
00:50:44,620 --> 00:50:50,460
But what if, you know, what they put on paper in reality doesn't work that way?

598
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,460
What's going to happen then?

599
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,320
So I think that part needs to be addressed.

600
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,100
I also think the property values with that huge facility being right next to Aaron's

601
00:51:01,100 --> 00:51:02,980
and backing up onto the yards.

602
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,020
I think it's going to diversity affect the entire neighborhood.

603
00:51:07,060 --> 00:51:08,340
So for your consideration.

604
00:51:08,340 --> 00:51:10,080
Thank you

605
00:51:12,830 --> 00:51:19,070
and Tom Nick Nick but kiss close enough.

606
00:51:21,310 --> 00:51:22,250
Good evening folks.

607
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:28,570
Hi, my name is Dan Jasker, I'm president of Glass Court's Women Fitness.

608
00:51:29,310 --> 00:51:35,810
So I have two interests in my house and my commercial building are both close to this wetland.

609
00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:38,570
It's a wetland. It's a giant bowl of water.

610
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:41,650
Right now, it is a giant swamp.

611
00:51:43,530 --> 00:51:47,450
I'm very concerned about future flooding, like most of the people here.

612
00:51:49,850 --> 00:51:54,930
I've already pretty much made everything knowledgeable about it at the building committee.

613
00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:58,270
I don't know if you can allow my phone as evidence.

614
00:51:58,370 --> 00:52:04,970
I've got a video that I would like to show everyone in here how bad the flooding can be.

615
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,400
The old Grove District behind Glass Court's Women Fitness has two ponds.

616
00:52:14,140 --> 00:52:15,060
They're very small.

617
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,560
When the flooding takes place, which happens every three to five years,

618
00:52:19,780 --> 00:52:24,220
and it actually happened this fall, those ponds become a five to ten acre lake.

619
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,240
I could run my vast boat in it.

620
00:52:28,580 --> 00:52:37,260
I think that we need reassurances by the builders of the self storage facility.

621
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,660
Maybe they should take out insurance policies to cover our basements when they flood.

622
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,660
Fortunately, glass court swimming fitness has never taken on water.

623
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,860
We've been blessed and same with my house.

624
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,160
I live in 1127 South Fairview.

625
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:57,500
Every year, I'm in the middle of my intersection, breaking out the sewer grates.

626
00:52:57,940 --> 00:52:58,340
It's frustrating.

627
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:03,160
And the waters from the ponds, they come pouring in.

628
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:08,120
And I think that this is going to make the water works.

629
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:10,360
It's going to increase the amount of flooding.

630
00:53:11,860 --> 00:53:14,460
So that's basically all I have to say.

631
00:53:15,060 --> 00:53:18,240
I mean, I understand these people don't want a 35 foot structure

632
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:19,080
in their backyard.

633
00:53:20,060 --> 00:53:20,340
It sucks.

634
00:53:20,780 --> 00:53:21,360
It really does.

635
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:23,380
But thank you.

636
00:53:23,540 --> 00:53:24,160
Thank you.

637
00:53:30,180 --> 00:53:31,920
You points that I kind of wanted to make.

638
00:53:32,260 --> 00:53:34,520
Could you state your name for my name's Tom Novicus?

639
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:49,520
So, you know, I had come to the initial meeting, I had really been to plan meetings, and I actually got a little more riled up the more I sat through the presentation, and so I was going to be built, and that's why I'm here tonight.

640
00:53:51,020 --> 00:53:54,680
So, there's a couple things that I was kind of thinking about that I wanted to talk about.

641
00:53:54,800 --> 00:54:00,600
One is that in general, the storage center is probably a pretty good use of that land, it's quiet.

642
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:07,600
And I think that if the petitioner had come and asked for a one-story building there, I think everybody would be pretty happy with it.

643
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:12,660
You know, we would still have to address flood issues, but you know, there's, there's that.

644
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:21,640
But this is huge. So for a sense of scale, we're in this room today and this room is probably at most 15 feet high.

645
00:54:21,980 --> 00:54:29,160
So I just, for a sense of scale, where you all are sitting, would be the backyard of these folks.

646
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,580
And the building would be twice as high as this wall that you're looking at back here.

647
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,820
That's huge, right? More than twice as high.

648
00:54:39,460 --> 00:54:44,580
The other kind of question I had in my mind was, you know, it's 145,000 square feet.

649
00:54:45,380 --> 00:54:47,300
So I was thinking, you know, what is that big?

650
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,740
And I looked up the average size of a Walmart on Google.

651
00:54:51,180 --> 00:54:53,860
The average size of a Walmart is 100,000 square feet.

652
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:57,160
So this is there again 50% bigger than that.

653
00:54:57,900 --> 00:54:59,880
So, kind of the answer to all that.

654
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,100
Well, this is allowed by code, right? And the thing about that is that there's a reason that this

655
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:10,260
lot hasn't been developed all these years, right? It's been vacant for 60 years. And meanwhile,

656
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:15,440
other lots and rows of road have developed one, two, even three times. And the question is why?

657
00:55:15,940 --> 00:55:20,500
Well, this is a really difficult lot to develop because of the flood initiatives. And I think that the

658
00:55:20,500 --> 00:55:25,900
storage in our works here because it needs really limited parking. But the idea that any other

659
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:32,840
development, you know, a drive through their wood function is, I think, not likely, and, you

660
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,640
know, the market has borne that out over the years. Nothing has been built there.

661
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:41,880
So, you know, I think that, I think that, you know, well, the storage centers are great

662
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,800
use because of the limited park in the size and scale. This is untenable. I would also

663
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:51,620
point out that there's a billboard that is adjacent to this lot,

664
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:55,880
that from, as

665
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:04,040
the building. And so I guess I would be curious if at that point the city is going to be

666
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:09,800
get a request to increase the height of that billboard, which, again, would have to be probably

667
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:18,240
a hundred feet tall in order to overcome the building. I'm sorry, I don't usually speak

668
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:24,520
in public. I would also just point out that the petitioner is an out-of-town developer. The

669
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:30,520
landowner is not a town landowner and this will not provide any employment for presumably anybody

670
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:36,280
but maybe one person who maybe might be a lumbar resident and this is not in keeping with

671
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:40,440
the Roosevelt Road corridor plan in terms of rep things.

672
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:47,580
pedestrian access so I just I don't see any reason for us to approve this it's not good for us.

673
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:48,520
Thank you.

674
00:56:49,420 --> 00:56:49,920
Thank you.

675
00:56:51,260 --> 00:56:54,220
Okay that will take care of the public participation on this.

676
00:56:54,220 --> 00:57:00,660
Is it issue trusty where did you have yep it's some thoughts and comments thank your president's

677
00:57:00,660 --> 00:57:07,800
Nario I'm gonna go from the hip here because I did have some written notes at home

678
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,780
which I unfortunately forgot first of all I want to thank the residents for coming out

679
00:57:13,180 --> 00:57:21,920
I do appreciate it I know the area I've walked it I actually have a friend that lives over that way so I'm familiar with it

680
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:29,780
I was at that I've talked to some of you, I've met some of you in person, so I understand

681
00:57:29,780 --> 00:57:30,700
your concerns.

682
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:38,420
But after being on this a day as year for 11 years, going on 12, I know, I just did it myself.

683
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:48,520
One of the things that I always find myself having to do is to balance what's good for the

684
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:53,380
neighborhood, what's good for the district, but also what's good for

685
00:57:53,380 --> 00:57:59,680
Lombard as a whole, not only now, but five, ten years from now.

686
00:58:00,780 --> 00:58:06,560
I have a daughter that just bought in this town, which I'm very glad and proud that

687
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,140
she decided to stay in Lombard because she liked growing up here.

688
00:58:10,620 --> 00:58:14,460
So I also have to be thinking of what's good for now, and

689
00:58:14,460 --> 00:58:19,840
20, 10, 20 years, now hopefully grandkids that I could be going over there and help him with.

690
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,900
But what I'm saying is, it's a balancing act.

691
00:58:22,980 --> 00:58:30,380
I know all the trustees up here have to balance their neighborhood, their district, what's

692
00:58:30,380 --> 00:58:32,400
good now, what's good in their future.

693
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:39,340
I believe that Petitioner has done their request to address to flooding stuff.

694
00:58:39,340 --> 00:58:50,400
Thank you Bill Hanna for commenting that what they have done on that it sounds like their landscaping is going to be there to address it

695
00:58:51,020 --> 00:59:00,160
But also one same morning thing we have to do what's best for Lombard. So as a whole I will be supporting this petition.

696
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,100
Thank you Bill.

697
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,340
Any other comments or emotions or rebook?

698
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:07,620
A couple of questions clarification.

699
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,840
Sure. So Bill Hennus.

700
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:15,940
With the stormwater, I know how most of the time that goes in first.

701
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,000
Would that occur with this project?

702
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:21,780
Would all the stormwater go in before any sort of building would go vertical?

703
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:24,440
Yes, and that is a county code requirement.

704
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,300
Stormwater always, strong retention must be in place before any building goes vertical.

705
00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:37,520
So we would be able to see village and county would be able to see how that's working before any building is put in place.

706
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:39,120
Okay.

707
00:59:40,700 --> 00:59:43,600
Also kind of a clarification and maybe we can reach out to the park district.

708
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:48,800
The old Grove and that pond and all that land is actually.

709
00:59:48,980 --> 00:59:51,640
Part district land just so everyone's clear here.

710
00:59:52,260 --> 00:59:58,640
So it's two different government entities and clearly we all need to talk and maybe something needs to be done with old Grove.

711
00:59:58,640 --> 00:59:59,940
because I did see the picture.

712
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,000
I do know the area. There is a lot of water there, but just to remember, not all that is village of

713
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,180
Lombard land, actually a lot of that is part district land. So that's something that we have to be in communication with.

714
01:00:14,260 --> 01:00:20,900
The third issue is Stephanie brought up an I. issue. What do you know what that was pertaining to, something with Roseville?

715
01:00:21,340 --> 01:00:29,760
The question that came up very early in the process and some of the initial discussions would I. Grant a curb cut they have to grant.

716
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,180
some access to the property.

717
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:38,520
The concept site plan here shows for full access out on the Roosevelt Road one single

718
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:39,080
driveway.

719
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:46,440
The petitioner has stated that I.D. is concept she's supportive of the plan as proposed.

720
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:52,440
Of course, when you get to final engineering, I.D. will be doing a full review of that

721
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:57,780
driveway, curb credit, it's location prior to them issuing a permit itself.

722
01:00:58,760 --> 01:00:59,180
Perfect.

723
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:04,700
So, when you're saying a curb cut, that's not going to be right in left out or...

724
01:01:04,700 --> 01:01:05,580
It'll be full access.

725
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:13,240
One of the items associated, because it is a low traffic generating use and there's no

726
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,460
other reasonable means to get to the property, that's what they would be looking at in

727
01:01:17,460 --> 01:01:17,880
that regard.

728
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:20,660
And then last thing.

729
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:21,220
Go ahead.

730
01:01:21,620 --> 01:01:23,120
Last thing is more, it's a statement.

731
01:01:24,700 --> 01:01:27,880
I know, and no offense, the builders.

732
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,980
I know a store, our storage unit is not a flashy project.

733
01:01:32,900 --> 01:01:38,900
On the board, we always want to come in with flashy projects, but this land has been undeveloped

734
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:43,100
for so long, and on top of it, which is always a delicate balance.

735
01:01:43,100 --> 01:01:50,540
We can't force any private owner or developer to tell them what is going to go in there or not.

736
01:01:50,940 --> 01:01:55,040
And like I said, it is a free market. So if that's what the market is saying.

737
01:01:55,580 --> 01:01:57,820
Because I'm like with you, I go another storage unit.

738
01:01:58,340 --> 01:02:02,100
If that's what their data is showing them that there's a market for it.

739
01:02:03,260 --> 01:02:05,240
We're not a local government and government in general,

740
01:02:05,420 --> 01:02:11,420
not be telling private landowners what they can do and what they should do with their land when it's permitted use.

741
01:02:16,300 --> 01:02:17,260
Anybody else?

742
01:02:17,660 --> 01:02:18,160
Well, okay.

743
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:19,260
Dan?

744
01:02:19,740 --> 01:02:20,060
All separate.

745
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:25,360
As far as we don't sell the land, we can't control what the property owner and the

746
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,060
the one where they find the little land does.

747
01:02:27,460 --> 01:02:30,760
We, in a second, this one is it's, we do, this one is wouldn't be.

748
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Is there any chance that this might enhance and maybe abate some of the stormwater?

749
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:43,460
Well, that's one of the goals when you ever have the new development.

750
01:02:43,460 --> 01:02:47,520
But right now, there is no stormwater detention on the property whatsoever, everything

751
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:48,320
sheet drains.

752
01:02:48,740 --> 01:02:52,560
It is eventually finding its way over into the wetland in what would be sugarcrete.

753
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:53,600
So everything's going there.

754
01:02:54,260 --> 01:02:59,800
The advantage of development projects is you now will have stormwater detention that will

755
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:05,320
collect water from the development and have it at a much more controlled or released rate.

756
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,020
That is one of the benefits regarding stormwater management.

757
01:03:09,020 --> 01:03:17,100
And it's not like you're think of it as in this case two two bath tub's being put on the property the importance of keeping it outside the

758
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:25,440
Widen Flood Plain is that it could actually take on water as opposed to just sitting in the existing Flood Plain wetland areas which

759
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:34,100
Everyone agrees is out there. That's why it's what's pretty bad. It's so documented through DuPage County and through the Army Corps.

760
01:03:34,100 --> 01:03:35,560
Thank you.

761
01:03:38,370 --> 01:03:42,670
Okay, well, then we're looking for a motion and the first by trustee where

762
01:03:44,030 --> 01:03:46,050
Second by trustee Militello

763
01:03:46,630 --> 01:03:48,410
Sharon a roll call, please

764
01:03:48,410 --> 01:03:53,450
trustee where I trustee waiting 10. I trustee Puchia. I

765
01:03:53,450 --> 01:03:55,390
Trusty page savage. I

766
01:03:55,390 --> 01:03:57,290
Trusty Harnick. I

767
01:03:57,290 --> 01:04:00,510
Trusty Militello. All right. Okay,

768
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:04,760
moving on to letter D

769
01:04:05,340 --> 01:04:07,340
Sure, and you want to read that.

770
01:04:08,140 --> 01:04:11,000
451 east north, they have new holiday in Express.

771
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,600
The Plan Commission transmits for your consideration its recommendation regarding the above

772
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,400
reference petition, holiday, and express petitioner.

773
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,760
We request the village to take the following actions on the subject property located within

774
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,900
the B4 corridor commercial district.

775
01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:34,180
Number one, a zoning conditional use pursuant to section 1,5,5,5,4,1,6,c, 34 of the

776
01:04:34,180 --> 01:04:42,500
on board village code to allow for 44 story building and buildings, which are 40 feet to 45 feet in height.

777
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:51,340
And number two, approval of a two-lat major plant of very subdivision, the subject property for the proposed hotel is currently vacant.

778
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:59,940
The petitioner proposes to hold a holiday and express, through the use of a hotel is permitted in the B4 zoning district, zoning in.

779
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,520
Title, minutes are needed for the building, height and district 4.

780
01:05:05,740 --> 01:05:13,700
Thank you, Sharon. Bill? Thank you again, President General. We'll run through another power

781
01:05:13,700 --> 01:05:22,060
for presentation, relative to the proposed hotel facility at 451 East North Avenue. Here's the

782
01:05:22,060 --> 01:05:27,580
concept building elevation and one of the key things that is the reason why we are here tonight

783
01:05:27,580 --> 01:05:30,940
is associated with the fourth floor of the proposed hotel.

784
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,420
The property I may make reference to is both 415 and 451 for general reference purposes.

785
01:05:38,060 --> 01:05:40,340
415 is where the old case is.

786
01:05:40,980 --> 01:05:44,620
It's been converted as we speak to a signature bankware

787
01:05:44,620 --> 01:05:45,440
office facility.

788
01:05:46,540 --> 01:05:47,780
That is a permitted use.

789
01:05:47,860 --> 01:05:52,400
Hotels themselves are permitted use within the underlying

790
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,880
before zoning district.

791
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,400
So we are here tonight to consider two actions.

792
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:02,240
the condition news for the four-story building and a plat of resub division which is more of

793
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:08,340
an administrative activity to move to really just move a lot line within that same project.

794
01:06:08,780 --> 01:06:13,600
In the intent of moving a lot line is so that all the parking associated with the hotel

795
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:18,140
is actually on the same water record. If in case at some point in the future it would be sold to

796
01:06:18,140 --> 01:06:25,440
another entity. Communication efforts just as I noted before, there was a voluntary neighbor

797
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:31,740
meeting back in December where the initial concept plans came out, that was very valuable

798
01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:37,260
because there was a lot of comment that was received from the public that was passed

799
01:06:37,260 --> 01:06:42,900
on to the petitioner and as I will go through, number of those things were incorporated into

800
01:06:42,900 --> 01:06:48,400
the plan that the plan commission themselves heard. We developed a frequently asked question sheet,

801
01:06:48,580 --> 01:06:53,360
public notice process as noted in the other petition. We had regular resident engagement

802
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,500
through social media and we've been following up on an ongoing basis with any

803
01:06:57,500 --> 01:06:58,520
interested parties.

804
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:06,820
As far as zoning and surrounded bland uses, the property in question is

805
01:07:06,820 --> 01:07:08,740
415 and 451.

806
01:07:09,380 --> 01:07:13,500
The immediate to the east is a commercial retail strip center within the

807
01:07:13,500 --> 01:07:15,440
corporate limits of the villager of Villapark.

808
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:20,420
Immediately to the south east and on the other side of

809
01:07:20,420 --> 01:07:27,060
choice, our single-family residential neighborhood wrapping around, and also, importantly, directly

810
01:07:27,060 --> 01:07:31,820
to the south, is property that is owned by the Lombard Park District, and is the Lombard

811
01:07:31,820 --> 01:07:33,760
Lagoon Park Site.

812
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:40,320
As I noted earlier, before, allows for hotels as they permitted use.

813
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:47,020
For reference purposes, I identified what other types of uses could be built built here as

814
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:47,820
a matter of right.

815
01:07:47,820 --> 01:07:56,060
even a hotel could be built here as a matter of right where the main purpose of the meeting tonight is to discuss the potential of the fourth floor

816
01:07:56,940 --> 01:07:58,880
That is the one zoning action

817
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,300
The code talks about

818
01:08:01,300 --> 01:08:04,000
Anything less than 40 feet height being permitted

819
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:10,820
Between 40 and 45 is a condition you some beyond that is a variance. It is already embedded within code

820
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:17,800
So if the question comes up regarding while I they're following code technically. Yes, it's just that village staff doesn't have the authority

821
01:08:17,820 --> 01:08:22,700
to grant the final approval that authority grant is vested in the village board.

822
01:08:23,180 --> 01:08:27,740
The proposed building height is approximately 42 feet based on the final engineering

823
01:08:27,740 --> 01:08:28,360
site.

824
01:08:29,180 --> 01:08:33,100
So they're not conditions are not prohibited, but they go through this process.

825
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:37,000
Landscaping was talked extensively.

826
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:40,520
Both at the neighborhood meeting as well as at the Plan Commission.

827
01:08:41,180 --> 01:08:44,000
And we do recognize that it does about the Lombard Lagoon.

828
01:08:44,420 --> 01:08:45,980
There was a preliminary plan submitted.

829
01:08:45,980 --> 01:08:51,860
you even heard that through the planned commission discussion, that they made a condition that

830
01:08:51,860 --> 01:08:56,240
I'll go and talk about more at the end of the presentation, that they want some additional

831
01:08:56,240 --> 01:09:03,860
evergreen trees. There will be the full 30-foot transitional landscape out. This was a comment that

832
01:09:03,860 --> 01:09:09,500
really was coming out of the neighborhood meeting. The petitioner went back, working with our

833
01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:13,960
fire department, and determined whether there was a southern access was truly needed around the building.

834
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:25,140
That came out of that meeting and the revised plan is that all the landscape planting that is sought for this project would be on the private property and would be maintained by the property owner.

835
01:09:25,820 --> 01:09:32,780
Traffic also came up. Again, while we're only talking about, you know, while the petition was about a forest story building.

836
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:40,300
We did have a kale away. The villages traffic consultant do a traffic demand study. That's different than a full traffic analysis.

837
01:09:40,300 --> 01:09:44,100
But what they did determine is that it can be accompanied by the roadway system.

838
01:09:44,700 --> 01:09:48,260
There are recorded cross-access easements for this property.

839
01:09:49,220 --> 01:09:51,880
And there will be one between this and the signature banquet.

840
01:09:52,620 --> 01:09:57,660
So if you're ready, you can leave from here and go through the properties to get over to Grey Street.

841
01:09:58,500 --> 01:09:59,360
Parking meets code.

842
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:20,100
The primary entrance will be a North Avenue kind of where cases or signature bakeway driveway is now. There's a full access that is on the choice right now. That will be going away. There'll be a new driveway access that will be left out right in to further encourage people to utilize North Avenue.

843
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,340
Stormwater management, just like with the petitioner a few minutes ago, this was also raised

844
01:10:25,340 --> 01:10:33,040
as a concern, and while this one's a little different, and that there is not wetlands

845
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,700
or flood plan a site, it was a concern that was raised at the public hearing.

846
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:42,680
So the petitioner said they would meet all DuPage County Stormwater requirements and local

847
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:43,200
codes.

848
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:48,720
For further information, just so I've run as aware, the property, there's what we call

849
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:49,900
a mini-vrigeline.

850
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,600
That means some of the water would want to drain north, some of it may go south

851
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:55,220
into the lagoon.

852
01:10:56,300 --> 01:11:00,860
Through this discussion, and even one of the plant commissioners may comment on that,

853
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:07,280
the petitioner should this be approved would need to submit final engineering drawings.

854
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:18,300
And the goal is to get as much water redirected toward North Avenue as practical and would be as allowed by eye dot through that review.

855
01:11:18,700 --> 01:11:28,160
Ultimately, water that heads to the south goes into Lombard Lagoon, eventually it will head its way north.

856
01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:35,080
property, a strong water that is directed specifically to North Avenue, will also head to the West.

857
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:40,560
Eventually it will be made up and headed toward the woods for its preserve.

858
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:46,020
Plan Commission did hear the petition back in January.

859
01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:51,640
They made their recommendation and there were a number of conditions that were included within this.

860
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:57,380
I do want to point out a few items associated with this that have changed since the Plan Commission.

861
01:11:57,380 --> 01:12:03,100
But again, this is the first reading of potential two readings with the second one being on March 5.

862
01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:07,440
Within the draft ordinance, there are conditions of approval.

863
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:14,660
I'm going to jump to two of them that were specifically called out and even modified within the recommendations.

864
01:12:15,700 --> 01:12:22,720
We heard a number of residents offer questions or testimony concerned about the self-building elevation,

865
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:29,380
specifically the burnt orange color that was being contemplated on the southern side if it could be muted.

866
01:12:30,220 --> 01:12:36,820
The revised plan makes that a little bit more of a chocolate brown color in this

867
01:12:36,820 --> 01:12:37,220
submittal.

868
01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:43,260
So, the petitioner went back to Holiday Incorporate and they consented to this as an accommodation for the development.

869
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:52,120
So, condition number one, in accordance with all the site plans that are previously submitted as well as a revised

870
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,540
other in Wallet exhibit and that's what it just showed you. So that is getting

871
01:12:55,540 --> 01:12:59,580
memorialized in the ordinance. They will have to follow that provision, address the

872
01:12:59,580 --> 01:13:02,880
other concerns, meet building permits, screening,

873
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:06,460
minimizing or no-right turn signage,

874
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:12,740
auto turns, signage that does not project above the roof, Bill, give you a little

875
01:13:12,740 --> 01:13:16,940
breather here. Explain what an auto turn is for people that may not know.

876
01:13:16,940 --> 01:13:23,740
One of the questions that came from the public was whether it's fire trucks or larger trucks,

877
01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:31,020
if you have, will people be able to make proper turns on to choice, will they be bumping

878
01:13:31,020 --> 01:13:34,520
curbs, and will it be a sufficient flow?

879
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:39,320
Auto turns is nothing more than a computer program that makes sure that people won't be driving

880
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:46,760
on to over curbs. So that will be submitted. And this is one of the concerns that our

881
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:51,940
fire department would look at also to make sure that fire trucks can move. One of the

882
01:13:51,940 --> 01:13:55,420
questions also is concerned about truck movements. And there are some representations that

883
01:13:55,420 --> 01:14:01,360
other businesses which may or may not be individual long-barred have used that for truck access.

884
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,760
Given that it's a hotel, they usually don't get heavy semi-truck deliveries. It's much more

885
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,720
residential nature. So you're going to get a lot more cars or small box trucks. They don't

886
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:16,540
have a, you know, a classic restaurant. They, you know, they have the, you know, the breakfast

887
01:14:16,540 --> 01:14:21,980
and milk, if you will. But to get right back to your question, auto turns is really to make sure

888
01:14:22,700 --> 01:14:27,280
that circulation can be probably meant by the, nothing's preventing them from turning right

889
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:35,320
besides just a sign saying no right turn. The design of the concept and see if I, it shows really

890
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:42,740
well on the plane is to actually have a little bit of a throat there to kind of force vehicles

891
01:14:42,740 --> 01:14:47,520
to be making a left-turns of a little bit of a bump out to discourage right-turn movements.

892
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:48,880
So be very awkward movement.

893
01:14:50,020 --> 01:14:56,820
And again, because it's a hotel use that general thought is people are coming from not around

894
01:14:56,820 --> 01:14:59,940
here, staying here, but they're market.

895
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,160
It is really going to be some more along North Avenue, whether it's heading up towards Ohio or heading

896
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:09,420
to the west of 355 as opposed to servicing a neighborhood itself.

897
01:15:14,910 --> 01:15:18,990
Fencing and landscaping, maintaining good condition, people were concerned about what it might

898
01:15:18,990 --> 01:15:23,510
look like down the road, photometric plants, people were concerned about lighting.

899
01:15:24,570 --> 01:15:27,590
Our code already built and built in a lot of these requirements.

900
01:15:29,010 --> 01:15:34,430
So even if they weren't conditions, we want to clarify and make it so noted that these

901
01:15:34,430 --> 01:15:36,030
provisions need to be met.

902
01:15:36,910 --> 01:15:38,630
Concerns were raised about construction vehicles.

903
01:15:39,090 --> 01:15:42,210
So don't park a stage in Joyce or Lemoine.

904
01:15:42,730 --> 01:15:46,470
They can use the signature banquet kind of parking lot

905
01:15:46,470 --> 01:15:48,010
or on-site itself.

906
01:15:48,750 --> 01:15:50,250
Process, access, and park.

907
01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:52,710
So if there was ever ownership change,

908
01:15:53,530 --> 01:15:56,430
there's still a ability to travel from one

909
01:15:56,430 --> 01:15:57,750
property to the act next.

910
01:15:59,330 --> 01:16:01,170
Code requirements start within one year,

911
01:16:01,270 --> 01:16:02,830
unless an extension grant by the board.

912
01:16:02,830 --> 01:16:13,870
And one thing that was amended by the Plan Commission, people were concerned about the nature of the trees along the proposed southern property line, the transitional yard.

913
01:16:14,490 --> 01:16:24,790
So the Plan Commission requested, as part of the required submitted final landscape plan, the taller Evergreen trees, shall be incorporated in the final landscape plan.

914
01:16:24,950 --> 01:16:27,990
And we will look at that as part of the final engineering activities.

915
01:16:31,250 --> 01:16:33,750
And with that, Stafford, be happy to answer any questions you may have.

916
01:16:37,300 --> 01:16:41,920
I'll put you going to ask a question just about that last one, the taller evergreen trees.

917
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,300
So, I was not, you know, very blessed in the height department.

918
01:16:46,620 --> 01:16:47,760
What does taller mean?

919
01:16:48,620 --> 01:16:52,920
I said a 20 foot tree is a 30 foot tree is that a 15 foot tree.

920
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,020
For me, it's, you know, a 55 tree.

921
01:16:55,820 --> 01:16:56,100
Right?

922
01:16:58,220 --> 01:17:00,420
I think it was left a little bit open.

923
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:04,500
The idea is that it would not be evergreen shrubs that would be at knee high.

924
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:08,400
that you're actually going to be looking at

925
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,060
coniferous trees that, you know,

926
01:17:11,180 --> 01:17:14,260
larger arbor variety, other species that they can look at,

927
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,760
that can supplement, one of the things that we heard

928
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,320
from the testimony of people concerned about, you know,

929
01:17:19,780 --> 01:17:23,040
giving bulk and mass so that over time

930
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,820
as the tree material is the trees grow,

931
01:17:25,940 --> 01:17:27,480
particularly during the winter months,

932
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,120
it will actually act as some screening.

933
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,500
During the summer, you may very well get that

934
01:17:32,500 --> 01:17:34,640
from the trees that are already on the park district property.

935
01:17:35,340 --> 01:17:37,520
The idea for the toleratories is something that will be,

936
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,500
will create a larger canopy for that area.

937
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:45,360
Anyone down here?

938
01:17:47,900 --> 01:17:48,460
Okay.

939
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:52,580
We will move into public participation on this issue.

940
01:17:53,020 --> 01:17:55,940
Again, we're going to do the unduck system.

941
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,720
So we'll start off tonight with Theresa.

942
01:18:00,380 --> 01:18:01,160
Is it Theresa?

943
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,100
I know, you have a couple of acts and things there.

944
01:18:05,100 --> 01:18:10,520
So I will just solo a, and again, when you're up at the podium, please to state your name

945
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:11,360
for the record.

946
01:18:12,740 --> 01:18:18,450
And then, time starts with a C. I can't read.

947
01:18:19,530 --> 01:18:19,830
Carol.

948
01:18:20,710 --> 01:18:20,830
Carol.

949
01:18:20,830 --> 01:18:21,190
I'm Carol.

950
01:18:21,310 --> 01:18:21,370
I'm Carol.

951
01:18:21,370 --> 01:18:21,850
We're all tough.

952
01:18:24,430 --> 01:18:25,670
We're not okay.

953
01:18:26,410 --> 01:18:26,930
We're not okay.

954
01:18:30,530 --> 01:18:31,970
I swear I got starware in my class.

955
01:18:33,310 --> 01:18:34,310
Okay then.

956
01:18:34,310 --> 01:18:37,470
Laura, I'm not even going to try.

957
01:18:37,850 --> 01:18:38,370
Were there an S?

958
01:18:39,130 --> 01:18:40,130
I think that's a thing.

959
01:18:40,790 --> 01:18:41,390
It's a thing.

960
01:18:41,390 --> 01:18:44,450
She was asked to go through.

961
01:18:47,170 --> 01:18:47,710
Good evening.

962
01:18:48,010 --> 01:18:48,430
You're on.

963
01:18:49,410 --> 01:18:53,570
Hello, my name is Teresa Lola, 637, North Joy Street.

964
01:18:54,090 --> 01:18:58,430
I would like to wish President general the trustees and staff a good evening and thank you

965
01:18:58,430 --> 01:18:59,370
for this opportunity.

966
01:18:59,950 --> 01:19:04,990
leading up to this evening we were concerned that the Land of 451 East North Avenue was going to be

967
01:19:04,990 --> 01:19:11,150
developed at all. Our focus was first to keep the land untouched. When it was clear that we were to have a new hotel

968
01:19:11,150 --> 01:19:16,790
neighbor, we aimed for three stories. We strive to minimize the number of rooms while providing a viable

969
01:19:16,790 --> 01:19:23,410
business to less an impact. We worked for adjustments to help the hotel blend with the community. And we would like to

970
01:19:23,410 --> 01:19:28,390
the developers for the changes they have made. While we can't go back to change the zoning,

971
01:19:29,050 --> 01:19:33,250
let's look forward. Planning commissioners were thoughtful with their conditions and

972
01:19:33,250 --> 01:19:38,530
suggestions. Whatever the board's decisions, we need to ensure that all development conditions

973
01:19:38,530 --> 01:19:43,710
are followed through to completion. It is of the utmost importance. Let's also see what we can

974
01:19:43,710 --> 01:19:48,830
do to turn this development into an enthusiastic opportunity for both the hotel and the doing area.

975
01:19:49,410 --> 01:19:53,370
We can shine a light on the vegetation loss that has taken place around the

976
01:19:53,370 --> 01:19:55,950
lagoon property as a result of bordering business.

977
01:19:56,330 --> 01:19:59,450
We trust the hotel will consider present-part district recommendations.

978
01:20:00,300 --> 01:20:05,460
If Lombard is allowing more commerce, then please allow us to keep the Lagoon a safe and natural setting.

979
01:20:06,100 --> 01:20:14,780
We request village support of any current or future plans the Part District may have for the safety and restoration of the Lombard Lagoon as it pertains to bordering business.

980
01:20:15,540 --> 01:20:22,660
With whole-cultons, hotel construction, it will take some time to assess the needs of the park and ideas may require future years budget planning.

981
01:20:22,660 --> 01:20:27,280
fully promoting any part district plans or collaboration proposals for Lagoon

982
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:32,080
Batterment will create an atmosphere benefiting our business neighbors with a well

983
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,900
cared for North entrance to Lombard. There will be extra revenue from the

984
01:20:35,900 --> 01:20:39,580
whole to assist and the businesses along the park will profit from their

985
01:20:39,580 --> 01:20:45,420
proximity. We have been presented with an opportunity to aid all parties. As

986
01:20:45,420 --> 01:20:49,060
mentioned, we would like you to follow through with directing drainage towards

987
01:20:49,060 --> 01:20:52,440
North Avenue versus the Goon to prevent flooding and contamination.

988
01:20:53,260 --> 01:20:57,580
Encourage IDAP permissions and be a modern engineering example for others to emulate.

989
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,400
Execute plans based on photometric studies to pinpoint light direction and be a technological leader.

990
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:13,120
Make sure all required steps are taken to protect the turtles and encourage proper actions to cure for all wildlife being a model of compassion.

991
01:21:14,380 --> 01:21:19,680
Safe guard in the event that current owners of 451 East North ever sell the property include

992
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:24,540
any allowable stipulations to encourage future sales to known reputable businesses that

993
01:21:24,540 --> 01:21:28,600
are appropriate for a family community and who are willing to work in partnership with our

994
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:29,300
park district.

995
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,120
Be known for your foresight.

996
01:21:31,780 --> 01:21:36,080
No other than Bart Hotel is as close to one of our public parks and single family home neighborhoods.

997
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,440
You are responsible for both.

998
01:21:38,440 --> 01:21:40,560
In sure, all conditions are met.

999
01:21:41,180 --> 01:21:44,200
Find balance while giving our hotel neighbors the tools to succeed.

1000
01:21:44,860 --> 01:21:46,680
Raise the bar to build a community foundation

1001
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:49,140
that will be examined for generations to come.

1002
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:50,220
Thank you.

1003
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:50,960
Thank you.

1004
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:52,780
Can I go?

1005
01:21:52,940 --> 01:21:53,180
Mr. Lella.

1006
01:21:53,740 --> 01:21:56,900
I know I'm privy to the email you sent to trust the honing,

1007
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,280
but it sounds like maybe you made some amendments.

1008
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,100
So if we could get a copy of your letter,

1009
01:22:01,300 --> 01:22:02,020
that would be great.

1010
01:22:03,300 --> 01:22:05,160
And you can email it to us and give me my course

1011
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:06,400
or whatever it is for you.

1012
01:22:06,460 --> 01:22:07,620
OK, I just give you the stick.

1013
01:22:07,620 --> 01:22:08,980
Carol Maurer.

1014
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:09,840
Thank you.

1015
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:10,960
She's working tomorrow.

1016
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:12,640
Yes, she is.

1017
01:22:13,300 --> 01:22:14,900
She's not going over time too.

1018
01:22:16,060 --> 01:22:16,280
Okay.

1019
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:20,220
And David was there.

1020
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:22,060
Hi.

1021
01:22:22,140 --> 01:22:25,100
I'm Laura Cesink, I live at 629 North Grace Street.

1022
01:22:25,860 --> 01:22:28,340
I grew up in Lombard all 41 years.

1023
01:22:29,460 --> 01:22:31,460
Just about our house three and a half years ago.

1024
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:37,500
And I've watched in the past three and a half years Grace Street flood.

1025
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:44,920
So as a resident, I would just like you to keep in mind of the condition of flooding because

1026
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:53,400
by great joys and East Lemoine, it floods, gray street, right behind Dunkin Donuts, there's

1027
01:22:53,400 --> 01:23:00,240
a retention pond that overflows with water, then the lagoon overflows and it's flooded all

1028
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:05,860
the way up to the poor homes on East Lemoine Avenue to where there's ducks floating in

1029
01:23:05,860 --> 01:23:12,120
front yard. So again, I won't try to make this really long with flooding, but just please

1030
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:19,440
keep in mind for that as the condition. Also, I do believe the tables water tables have changed

1031
01:23:19,440 --> 01:23:26,960
on the north side because I am one of few who really love Halloween and decorate their front yard.

1032
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:33,920
And with all the rainwater, we had in September, October, November. We heard a thunk. We looked

1033
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:40,040
the street lights would shut off. It literally goes from Prairie all the way to North Avenue

1034
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:47,560
on Grace Street. So I do believe when it rains heavily, snow melts, and it actually happened

1035
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:53,680
two and a half weeks ago when we had that 52 degrees Sunday. So something's going on on our

1036
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:59,640
site at town with flooding. So again, please keep in mind and thank you for the time for tonight

1037
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:05,320
and also thank you Bill for filling out my freedom of information at, that somehow got lost

1038
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:11,140
in transition, but thank you for whoever worked to get it to me in two days, thank you so

1039
01:24:11,140 --> 01:24:11,580
much.

1040
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:13,080
Thank you.

1041
01:24:17,130 --> 01:24:18,430
David, you're up,

1042
01:24:21,770 --> 01:24:22,610
Mr. Modi,

1043
01:24:24,690 --> 01:24:25,770
with the petitioner.

1044
01:24:27,310 --> 01:24:29,910
Hello, my name is Dave Weisnick.

1045
01:24:29,910 --> 01:24:38,790
I live at 631 North, LaLondi, we've been there 38 years, so we have seen a lot of changes

1046
01:24:38,790 --> 01:24:47,230
going on in the park and I want to complement the village because the park has improved dramatically

1047
01:24:47,230 --> 01:24:54,230
over the 38 years we've been there. I mean the field of house has been built up and skating

1048
01:24:54,230 --> 01:24:59,930
and taking care very well with a park district. So it's it's really a

1049
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,500
I think Jim of the village of Lombard,

1050
01:25:04,820 --> 01:25:12,120
I think. But I think what we have to start thinking about is how to keep it in its pristine shape.

1051
01:25:13,440 --> 01:25:25,000
We've developed all those businesses along North Avenue. Duncan Donuts, and Casey's was always there, but all those businesses that were there at Casey's,

1052
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:31,960
That whole section south of those businesses was heavily wooded.

1053
01:25:32,260 --> 01:25:34,580
You didn't even know if there was cases was there.

1054
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,480
You couldn't hear it. You couldn't hear North Avenue.

1055
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,460
Now North Avenue, of course, like ten years ago,

1056
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,160
I became twice as wide.

1057
01:25:44,460 --> 01:25:45,700
Traffic has increased.

1058
01:25:47,100 --> 01:25:47,860
It's doubled.

1059
01:25:48,740 --> 01:25:50,860
You can hear traffic constantly.

1060
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:57,940
If you're in the park, you can hear traffic all day long, you can hear Dunkin' Donuts, traffic coming in,

1061
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,760
the deliveries that early in the morning, five, six o'clock in the morning, there's deliveries.

1062
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:12,920
It doesn't really apply to the holiday in, but I'm just bringing it up for the village trustees to consider

1063
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:30,340
possibly trying to keep the park in its pristine, tranquil state, as it is, to consider putting in a sound barrier along the north edge of the park, like an i.s. sound barrier.

1064
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:39,040
They don't have to be expensive. I'm a retired civil engineer. You can find things that are fairly inexpensive.

1065
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:43,820
I know this is part district, but, you know, it's also village.

1066
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:51,620
I have one on the internet, I made a hole, some found some sound barriers on the internet,

1067
01:26:52,440 --> 01:27:00,880
I can, I can share that with you, maybe it's a capital expense project down the road, kind

1068
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:01,240
of a thing.

1069
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,540
But I think it would really help the park.

1070
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,980
And just says a thought, there's going to be more traffic.

1071
01:27:07,980 --> 01:27:10,840
But there's a lot of traffic on Marcus and Joyce right now.

1072
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:12,680
There's going to be increased traffic.

1073
01:27:12,860 --> 01:27:14,500
It's not going to go down.

1074
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,380
We would like you to consider just putting in maybe some speed bumps along some of those

1075
01:27:20,380 --> 01:27:20,780
areas.

1076
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,580
There's a lot of traffic that goes by that park with kids running in and out.

1077
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,240
That field house is used constantly.

1078
01:27:29,020 --> 01:27:35,900
I'll bet you it's 80% of the time and weekends, so I'll leave this with you.

1079
01:27:35,900 --> 01:27:39,700
There are 12 to 14 foot high sound barriers.

1080
01:27:39,860 --> 01:27:44,320
They look pretty nice, but I'd appreciate your consideration of that.

1081
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:45,220
Thank you.

1082
01:27:47,220 --> 01:27:51,000
We have one more that was filled out for you, Tech.

1083
01:28:03,340 --> 01:28:05,140
Did you get a statement for the record, please?

1084
01:28:05,580 --> 01:28:06,920
Hello, my name is Voitakev Boonsky,

1085
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:11,040
and I've lived in the neighborhood for about 10 years now.

1086
01:28:11,300 --> 01:28:13,020
And I'll just throw a question more

1087
01:28:13,020 --> 01:28:14,940
of the commission.

1088
01:28:14,940 --> 01:28:20,420
And if we were to change the zoning for the three properties,

1089
01:28:20,860 --> 01:28:23,060
which are there, how would we approach that?

1090
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,200
So in the future, let's say, if Duncan knows

1091
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:32,200
without a business and we develop her for storage facility,

1092
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:36,460
decides to build another three-story, four-story have building.

1093
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,940
Is there a way we can amend current zoning laws

1094
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,340
for the other two properties?

1095
01:28:42,340 --> 01:28:49,780
So they don't expend in the future and how would we as a citizen go about to prevent

1096
01:28:49,780 --> 01:28:50,940
that from happening?

1097
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:59,840
The attorney is here but typically request a rezoned property come from the property owners

1098
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:08,720
themselves in situations where a village may petition to change the zoning on their own.

1099
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:13,960
there is a standard that the village would have to follow relative to lowering the property

1100
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:19,420
values time, I believe. And if, for instance, a commercial property on North Avenue,

1101
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:25,420
and this would be a drastic situation, but it helps the example. If we were to try to

1102
01:29:25,420 --> 01:29:35,060
rezone commercial property on North Avenue to recreational or open space, we would have to compensate

1103
01:29:35,060 --> 01:29:39,540
the property owner for the decreased value in the land.

1104
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:44,860
So, saying how the current 41 property is not developed yet,

1105
01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:51,000
can the zoning be changed before it gets developed at this stage?

1106
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,660
At this stage, it would either be a petition by the owners,

1107
01:29:55,140 --> 01:29:59,260
and if the village did try to zone it from a commercially zone property,

1108
01:29:59,260 --> 01:29:59,940
which is on.

1109
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,960
On a state route to something less intense, I believe we would still be on the hook to potentially pay for it.

1110
01:30:06,180 --> 01:30:16,300
And we would probably end up in litigation. In litigation, and it would really, the quicker move would be to purchase the property and own it.

1111
01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:16,860
But typically,

1112
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:23,340
each village board has their own decisions. But we try not to be landowners.

1113
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:28,980
And there are just statements in reference to the increased traffic.

1114
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:37,440
Any street, which is north of a sunset, whenever it's snow, it's always covered in snow

1115
01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:38,140
for weeks.

1116
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:44,820
So with increased traffic that we're going to get, are we going to increase the snow plowing

1117
01:30:44,820 --> 01:30:46,300
or sulting the streets?

1118
01:30:47,140 --> 01:30:53,100
So when we had this meeting two weeks ago, I think, when the snow fell, when I left my

1119
01:30:53,100 --> 01:30:59,420
property, as soon as I crossed sunset Avenue, it was nice and dry. I came over here, everything

1120
01:30:59,420 --> 01:31:04,200
was nice and dry. I came back home, I was slipping and sliding because within those few blocks

1121
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:10,380
between Kramer and Grace and North Avenue and sunset. So if we're going to have increased traffic

1122
01:31:10,380 --> 01:31:17,840
and the same scenario where snow stays for days, if not weeks on the street, that's going to

1123
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:22,640
potentially be potential hazard. So if I could ask you guys to do something about that in the future,

1124
01:31:23,220 --> 01:31:24,740
And that's pretty much what we have.

1125
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:25,660
Thank you.

1126
01:31:25,740 --> 01:31:26,480
Thank you.

1127
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:28,540
Okay.

1128
01:31:28,740 --> 01:31:30,220
That's it for public participation.

1129
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:32,640
All right.

1130
01:31:32,740 --> 01:31:33,100
Thank you.

1131
01:31:33,100 --> 01:31:33,300
Yeah.

1132
01:31:34,480 --> 01:31:35,380
Is it okay if I'm in comment?

1133
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:35,740
Yes.

1134
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:36,140
Absolutely.

1135
01:31:36,420 --> 01:31:37,300
Thank you, President General.

1136
01:31:38,060 --> 01:31:42,480
I know this has been a really contentious issue for quite some time now.

1137
01:31:42,620 --> 01:31:46,660
But aside from that, I wanted to thank the developer for being sensitive to the issues

1138
01:31:46,660 --> 01:31:49,980
to the residents of District 4 that have been brought in to light.

1139
01:31:49,980 --> 01:32:08,080
I appreciate the cooperation between both sides that we're willing to engage in, which, in my opinion, truly highlights the character of Lombard residents to perpetuate the issues that they care so much about and that there were differences and they were hashed out in a really reasonable matter.

1140
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,940
And I believe keeping the park safe and away from harm is something that has been really

1141
01:32:12,940 --> 01:32:17,300
important to me as someone who grew up in the area and went to look for crayfish when

1142
01:32:17,300 --> 01:32:19,420
I was younger and when I was in fourth grade.

1143
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:26,220
And I think that making sure relating to flooding that area is always staying safe in that.

1144
01:32:26,780 --> 01:32:29,820
I am always listening to concerns relating to that flooding issue.

1145
01:32:30,780 --> 01:32:36,100
And I believe it would be against my better judgment to vote yes regarding the holiday and

1146
01:32:36,100 --> 01:32:41,580
rest for just work for. And with that being said, I will not be supporting the hotel and I will be voting no.

1147
01:32:42,540 --> 01:32:46,000
So that's all I have. Thanks Andrew. Anybody else have any comments?

1148
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:56,280
We're looking for a mode. Oh, we're going to appreciate all the civility. I think we always kind of whenever one of these big projects comes up.

1149
01:32:56,860 --> 01:33:02,000
We always kind of have our guards up and it's, it's always refreshing to have people come up and be professional.

1150
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:09,500
and so we all appreciate that it's going to take us a minute to relax, so that's it.

1151
01:33:09,740 --> 01:33:14,820
Okay, looking for a motion, they have a first by trustee Whittington, second by trustee

1152
01:33:14,820 --> 01:33:20,540
Whare, Sharon on a roll call, please. Trustee Whittington. I trustee Poochio.

1153

1154
01:33:27,220 --> 01:33:33,000
Trustee Whare. All right. Okay, and that's all we have. There is no executive session

1155
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:38,820
this evening. So that's it for regular business. I would like to thank everyone who came out.

1156
01:33:38,940 --> 01:33:43,360
I want to thank the folks that left after the storage unit discussion.

1157
01:33:45,460 --> 01:33:46,880
And thank you to the

1158
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:52,660
trustees. And I am looking for a motion to adjourn. First by Trustee Puchio. Second by

1159
01:33:52,660 --> 01:33:57,660

Trustee Honig.

1162

1163
01:34:00,540 --> 01:34:01,100
Trustee Ware?

1164
01:34:01,220 --> 01:34:01,600
All right.

1165

Trustee Willington.

1166
01:34:02,660 --> 01:34:03,000
All right.

1167
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:04,580
Thank you.

1168
01:34:04,860 --> 01:34:05,420
And good night.
