During your testimony at the public Hearing you need to testify and present your case for the --
variance being requested. During your testimony you need to affirmatively address the four (4)
standards listed below. I have completed the first one for you since it is not applicable. I have
left you room to write down your statements in advance of the meeting.

The Planning & Zoning Commission is authorized to grant variations to the regulations of the o
Fence Code based upon findings of fact which are made based upon evidence presented at the
hearing that: �0

1. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances;

Your Evidentiary Statement: c
a�
U-
We have a significant slope that begins mid-way through the sides of our yard and
c
slopes all the way to the back of our yard. With the degree of the slop the standardAn
S'H privacy fence will give less privacy than a 4'H privacy fence if it were installed on w
level ground.

2. The proposed variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood; o
U
Your Evidentiary Statement:
U-
0
Neighbors all over have privacy fences. The back of the property also backs up to
Arlington Heights where 6'H privacy fences are already allowed. Due to the nature of
c
the slope the proposed 6'H would offer the same if not less privacy than the standard
TO
S'H privacy fence allowed in our community. Not to mention this fence matches nicely
M
with the house and offers a limited lifetime warranty. PVC fences are made to last so >
it will add value to the neighborhood by always looking new and not going into any
sort of decay.

a�
On September 21, 2020, Bluestone Single Tenant Properties (BSTP Midwest) (Developer) presented m
a concept Plan to the Village Board to redevelop the 7.6-acre parcel at 700 E. Lake Cook Road. The
site was formerly improved with a 100,000 square foot office building, which was occupied by BMO
Harris Bank. The proposal shows redeveloping the site for multiple uses including 8,720 square foot c

convenience store, fuel center and car wash 0
0
complex(Rick Rockets Fuel Center), an 8,550 a
retail center, a quick service restaurant, and o
a self-storage facility. Existing Site Y
L
0
The proposed changes would require a
rezoning from Industrial to B-3 Planned o
Business District with a special use for 0
c.�
planned development. Y
J
During this meeting, the Trustees discussed o
the transition of the site from industrial to
commercial per the vision in the Lake Cook Corridor and the new Comprehensive Plan that is currently m
underway. Overall, the Trustees provided favorable comments towards the redevelopment project
and proposed uses and no specific concerns were raised. o
First PZC Workshop- October 7,2020
On October 7t", 2020, the preliminary plan was presented as a workshop item for the PZC to discuss. £
s
During that meeting the PZC discussed issues of use, operations, and accessibility.
a
Second PZC Workshop—February 3,2021
The petitioners have returned to the PZC for a second workshop to showcase a revised plan that has
minor modifications, which are detailed below.
Page 1 of 3
Packet Pg. 20
3.A.1.a
REVISED SITE AND CONCEPT PLAN
Revised Site Plan Overview
The overall proposed uses of gas station, retail, convenient store, and car wash remain, however the
uses are somewhat redistributed on the site.
Lot 1 was slightly expanded from 2.08 acres to 2.23 acres. The revised plan still features the Ricky
Rockets Fuel Center, however the fuel center will be slightly modified. The revised plan shows 12 c
automobile fueling positions (formerly 14), a 7,900 sf convenient story (formerly 8,720 sf), and W
attached to the convenient store will be a 6,000 sf retail establishment, instead of the 3,290 sq ft car °o
wash proposed on the original plan. With these new uses and configuration, 58 parking spaces are v
d
proposed for this lot, which meet the minimum parking requirements. cYo
J
W
The new proposal shows Lot 2 to be roughly 1.11 acres (formerly 1.17 acres) with a car wash instead c
0
of an 8,550 sf convenient store. The proposed car wash also includes 12 vacuum spaces. -
c
Lot 3 is shown to be 1.09 acres which is slightly greater than 0.98 acres shown on the original site
plan. The revised plan calls for a 2,450 sf quick service restaurant (identical to the original plan) and c
37 parking spaces (formerly 32 spaces). These parking counts meet the minimum requirements. >
m
aD
The original plan proposed storage facilities on Lot 4. However, the developer has opted not to
present plans to develop Lot 4 at this time. The developer will present plans and development w
proposals at a later phase of the project. 0
CL
I-
a.
As with the former plan, the proposed development meets all code requirements regarding setbacks a
and building heights. A thorough signage review will be performed after the PZC Workshop prior to t
the public hearing to identify potential sign variations. L
0
Rezoning
As the uses remain the same as the former proposal,the plan will still require rezoning from Industrial o
to the B3 Planned Business District with a special use for planned development. The developer will v
d
likely need to seek an amendment to the planned development at a later date when Lot 4 establishes
plans for development. c
0
ti
Accessibility and Circulation 0
CL
The revised plan retains the same right-in and right-out access from Lake Cook Road and right-in and
right-out access from Lexington Drive as originally proposed. The internal circulation of the plan has w
been modified with cross-access generally occurring on the southern parts of Lots 1, 2, and 3. The
modifications allows Lot 2 and 3 in particular, to have similar southern access points and counter-
clockwise circulation patterns, which will enhance flow and safety. £
s
Preliminary Elevations
As the uses remain the same, the elevations shown are in the former plan remain. These elevations, a
which are from the gas station, have been provided below. Both staff and the PZC will work with the
owner on refinements to the elevations as part of the process.
