Bridge Development Partners has requested that the Village Board handle the site plan modification rather than referring the matter to the Plan Commission. The Village Board directed staff to informally present the proposal to the Plan Commission to determine if there are any issues that should be addressed concerning the plan change. Mr. Pfeil noted that Bridge is discussing a lease with Leica Microsystems that would affect only a portion of the building. Leica wants assurances that parking can be added if necessary to accommodate future users at the property. Since the building is approximately 188,000 sq.ft., the parking demand could exceed the current available spaces if some tenants have large office areas. Mr. Pfeil noted that the request to add parking in the front yard would require a variation to allow 56 spaces to partially encroach into the 30—foot landscaped setback along Aptakisic Road. The amount of variation is minimal, but a public hearing for amendment of the annexation agreement is required. He presented photos of the site and the landscaped setback area. Commissioner Weinstein asked why we would consider this proposed parking space before they even know whether they will need it or not. Mr. Pfeil commented that Bridge has represented that Leica will not enter into a lease unless they have assurance that in the event that the building is fully tenanted, more parking would be allowed to be constructed if necessary to accommodate that overall parking demand at the site. The amended annexation agreement would stipulate that the parking in the front yard could not be constructed until it is needed to satisfy the parking demands of tenants at the property. Commissioner Weinstein stated his concern with the construction impact on the actual parking if and when they decide they need to create the additional parking. Mr. Pfeil noted it would probably be a fairly brief construction period as it not a huge project. Commissioner Myer stated she hopes the owners would understand that if Leica comes in they would have to be very careful about the parking demand of other tenants in the remainder of the building. 2 Mr. Pfeil noted that Leica would have a substantial amount of office area, and this will limit the amount of additional office space available for future tenants unless major changes such as a parking structure would be feasible. Commissioner Bocek stated if they remove some of the berm along Aptakisic Road, some of the landscape material should be reused in other parts of the site rather than just disposing of the plant material. Mr. Pfeil noted a revised landscaping plan will be required as part of the parking lot expansion. The Village Forester will review the plan and make recommendations concerning re—use of plant materials. Commissioner Stark asked if the proposed area has enough space for additional parking spaces. Mr. Pfeil noted that the plan would need to meet applicable standards for aisle width between the parking rows. Chairman Ottenheimer asked if any Commissioners want a workshop to further review the proposal. The Commissioners concurred that additional review by the Plan Commission is not necessary.
