To whom it may concern
Dear Sir/ Madam m
a
a
�a
I would like to build a tool shed in my backyard. I am planning to build a concrete slab, in accordance M
with the rules, and then build the shed on it. I would like to build the shed, because I have plenty of
tools and decoration that I keep in my garage. However, I do not have space for my cars, due to the
�o
decoration and the tools. I would like to have my car inside the garage during the winter months. I have
pain in all my joints due to health condition, and clearing the snow of the car makes it even worse. �o
Unfortunately, I am exceeding the 20 percent rule in regards of the total square footage.This is the
reason why I would like to apply for a variance, in order to build the structure in my yard. I would like to }
be in response to standards, and would like to do everything by the rules.
x
1 would greatly appreciate if I am granted the variation, so I can build the shed.

Your Evidentiary Statement: CL
I would like to build the shed so I can free up the space in my garage. I have many gardening W
tools, as well as some holiday decor. Unfortunately, due to this, I cannot have my car in the o
garage, and I have to clear the snow from it.This is turning into a problem, due to myjoints being
in more pain every year. If it would be possible to have my car in my garage, that way I would not a,
have to clear the snow of it, thus being easier on my painful joints.

2. The proposed variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood;
Your Evidentiary Statement:
Building the shed will not alter the character of the neighborhood, because it will be tucked
behind the garage. There are 2 reasons why I put the shed there — one is because that way the
shed will not be visible, thus not altering the character of the neighborhood. In addition, the
second reason is that this space is big enough for the shed. It gives me plenty of space on all sides, w
and it will be ideal for the shed to be placed there. 3

Your Evidentiary Statement:

The reason why apply for this variation is because I exceed the 20% rule. I have a garage in my

yard, as well as a wooden deck, which prevents me from having the shed installed. >

4. The proposed variation will not be detrimental to the public health safety and welfare.

Your Evidentiary Statement:
a
The proposed variation will not be detrimental to the public health and safety, because I
will follow all the regulations that the village has. I will lay down 4 inches of gravel, then E
4 inches of concrete. After the inspector is satisfied with the slab, I will build the shed on U
it. I will fasten the shed with concrete/anchor bolts for the slab. The panels of the slab Q
will be fastened according to the manufacturer recommendation and instructions.

Village of Buffalo Grove Planning and Zoning Commission.
The purpose of this letter is to detail our request to be granted a variance in order to N
park a boat and trailer along the side of our residence at 551 Springside Lane. We
'i
have attached many photographs of our lot from different perspectives to show the cn
proposed location is truly the only logically and visual appealing location to choose from. U)
Photos 1 and 2 show the physical dimension and a virtual layout of the asphalt pad
needed to support the weight of the boat and trailer. Attached is the proposal from 2
Premier Paving Company which details the Asphalt work to be performed per village
requirements. We are planning to also redo the existing asphalt driveway to achieve
greater curb appeal and a more uniform looking extension. In addition to the asphalt 0
pad underneath the boat trailer we wish to construct a 5' board on board fence to better
conceal the boat and trailer from the street. The proposed fence is visible from the plat
marked in yellow(#3). This proposed fence would match up to the neighbor's already £
existing fence as you can see in the attached photo. We are trying to follow the Village �
of Buffalo Grove's Recreational Vehicle Outdoor Parking and Storage Regulations to
the best of our ability, however, the current village code does not allow our home to Cn
build anything closer than 30' as this is the corner lot side set back code. We are open
for suggestions and or recommendations such as vegetation type screening if the w
commission feel it necessary. s
We plan to keep the trailer year-round in this proposed location, however, the boat itself 0
stays on a dock elsewhere from approximately April thru October so essentially, it would
only be visible for about 5 months. The total height of the boat and trailer combined is S
8' 3". The weight of the boat and trailer combined is about 5000LBS. Due to the
weight, it must stay and travel on a solid driveway surface it can not be moved on grass. 0
The overall length of the boat and trailer is 30' and the width is 8'6". The photo marked
#4 (861 Checker) has a similar layout and is also a corner lot located in the Strathmore
subdivision is attached for your reference. Arial shots are also attached #5 #6 #7 as >
you can see the tree's and positioning of my home in respect to my neighbors' homes
that also show why other locations do not appear to be viable. n

Our property is located on a corner lot and therefore, we do not have a two (2) sided lot. Our property is c
unique as we are only able to extend the driveway on the right side of the house. The left side of the house 06
does not connect to our current driveway. In order to utilize the left side of the house, we would have to cut
across our front lawn. In addition, the rear yard is shallow.

The proposed variation would bring visual appeal to the neighborhood as it would conceal our yard from
others as well as increase curb appeal and provide further privacy. The fence would meet the current .a
neighbors fence which would make the area aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Chairman Frank Cesario
Public Hearings/Items For Consideration
1. Consider a Variation for a Proposed Sunroom Addition, Which Would Encroach into the
Rear Setback 61 Somerset Dr. (Trustee Pike) (Staff Contact: Nicole Woods)
61 Somerset Lane was called. Village Planner Akosh stated that the Village is getting c_
sunroom addition requests at a rate of about one per month. This would be the seventh.
The encroachment would be 6 feet into the setback. Some of the rear yard setbacks in 0
the Village are 25 feet;in this case the setback is 30 feet. The Village has 33%for a rear c
yard buffer. In this case, it would be 314. No negative feedback was received from the o.
CL
calls;only positive. a
The petitioner was sworn in and described his proposal. When he moved into the home,
a
he would go for walks with his wife and she would mention all the sunrooms she saw. o
M
Now, 37 years later, the property owners plans to construct a sunroom. He spoke with ti
contractors who mentioned the setback restriction. N
0
Chairman Cesorio stated that the rule is derived from the concern that owners not build N
c6
into each other. Commissioner said that it seems sunrooms are getting popular and asks
Staff whether there will be situations where there is not setback encroachments. O
4-
0
Deputy Director of Community Development Woods said that with fences, there was a
recurring pattern. She said that the Village could start looking at the sunroom issue as it
is now becoming a pattern. Commissioner Weinstein asks if it is 11x14 and asks whether
the petitioner considered bigger sizes. The petitioner said he looked at his dining room 6
and wanted to go a little bit bigger. He said that he put flags in the grass to get a feel for c
what the sunroom might look like. The petitioner said that the person behind his Q,
property is fine with the proposal and does not have any questions about it. 0
Commissioner Weinstein asked whether there were any other concerns voiced by a
neighbors. The petitioner said that he did not.
0
Commissioner Richards asked whether there were other configurations that the =
petitioner looked at. The petitioner stated that there was an above ground pool that was
closer to the fence, and that neighbors did not have problems with that.
Commissioner Worlikar discussed page 9 of the packet. The petitioner said that there
were flags at 12 feet and 14 feet.
Commissioner Moodhe asked staff to look at the prior seven sunrooms to determine
what other lots they had and whether the configurations was similar.
Chairman entered the Village Staff Report as Exhibit 1. The public hearing was closed at
7:47 pm. Commissioner Weinstein read the motion and it was seconded by
Commissioner Richards. Commissioner Weinstein spoke in favor of the motion and said it

0
The Speedway matter was called. Chairman Cesorio described the zoning relief sought by a
CL
the petitioner. a
Village Planner Akash said that there is an existing office building which will be a
demolished, and its place will be a commercial fueling canopy and convenience store. c
Although this site does qualify as a truck stop, it will not be a dine-in or showers. Village ti
Planner Akash said that there is an amendment to the PUD and rezoning to 8-3 since one N
of the parcels is currently zoned residential. There is a goal post ground sign that will be C*j
in the some location and it was approved previously. There is a variation required for
canopies north and south since they do not face the right of way.And the some for the
O
commercial fuel canopy. c
Frank Petrich consultant for Speedway began the presentation on behalf of Speedway.
He said that Speedway is seeking to expand northbound by using office space to the c
north. This expansion would allow gaming at the site. There is pavement currently next
to property line. Petrich explained that fueling occurs from east and west. Speedway
intends to tear down both structures. FAR is 12.2%. More greenspace would be added to
CL
the area. Mr. Petrich explained the reasons for the proposed site plan. He said that it
gets hectic currently and the proposed plan would allow for better separation and safer a
circulation. With respect to the curb cuts, he says Speedway is reducing the curb cuts y
from four to two. Mr. Petrich described how different types of vehicles would access the 3
site. _
Mr. Petrich described the setback variances requested. He said it was not for the whole
property. For vegetation, he said that they were maintaining the tree line and are
incorporating it into the design. Mr. Petrich described the elevations stating that it is a
proposed brick masonry with a hip roof. He described the signage, and that Speedway
would be keeping the goalpost. He said the site was located at the corner of the
intersection and wants signage to be perpendicular for visibility.
Mr. Petrich showed a flyover video of the proposed Speedway to show the proposed
design. He said that its not a typical truck stop and will be keeping the some program at
the c-store currently, including the packaged goods. The only thing being added is the
gaming.

Chairman Cesario asked if any public agencies wanted to comment, and there were no
comments.
Commissioner Moodhe asked about the right-in and right-out and showed page 42. He
said that the access looked narrow and wanted to see safety more than the trees.
Commissioner Moodhe asked about the alley way situation and how it ended up there.
Planner Akash said that staff was in favor of vacating the alley and the Village was
unaware of the alley ownership. Commissioner Moodhe asked about Lot 1 and Lot 2 and
directed attention to page 37 of the staff packet, which is the Plat of Vacation.
Commissioner Moodhe asked whether the individual PINs were being vacated and being
combined into one. Village Planner Akash said that there will be PINs consolidated into
one as well as the address. Village Planner Akash said that this portion of the property N
was zoned residential and assumed that residential was likely going in. Commissioner 3
Moodhe asked about the S-Logo signs and asked whether those were for the commercial =_
bay. Mr. Petrich said the auto canopy has five signs with channel letters and s-badges
currently. Commissioner Moodhe asked whether it was absolutely necessary to have the °
channel letters for the CFL. Mr. Petrich said that there were not channel letters there. c

Chairman Cesario asked for packet page 30 and asked whether the billboard sign C
removal was agreeable to the petitioner. Mr. Shore said that the billboard is not �-
currently on their property. Chairman Cesario asked what the lease terms are. The
a
petitioner representative did not believe it was a long-term lease. Village Planner Akash oo�
stated that she believes it is a one-year lease. r�
Chairman Cesario discussed the accessory structures in existence and that it is not N
changing. He said that he is okay with keeping the variance. Chairman Cesario asked
about the setbacks and said that this proposal was more setback than there is currently.
For the signs, Chairman Cesario states that there is a width issue, but asked for U
w
confirmation that the number of signs is not atypical. Village Planner Akash agreed. °
Chairman Cesario asked for confirmation on whether landscaping would be the some as
existing and petitioner indicated that it would. Mr. Schroedter said that there will be =_
plenty of parking and commissioner gaming will not be a substantial increase. Chairman
Cesario asked whether the access could be made wide wider. The petitioner(in blue
shirt)said that IDOT would determine whether the Milwaukee access was wide enough.

a�
Javier Milan, 9575 W Higgins Road, mentioned that the internal site can be modified. He
U
said that the maximum width without a median is 35 feet, and a median would be a
Ul
needed if it was greater. Chairman Cesario asked whether traffic study concluded that
traffic would not materially increase, and the traffic consultant agreed that it would not. c
Commissioner Spunt asked whether there was signage specific to truck/auto exit. Mr.
Schroedter said there are directional signs.

Chairman Cesario entered the Village Staff Report as Exhibit 1. The PDF was entered as
Exhibit 2. The video was entered as Exhibit 3. The Speedway color site plan was entered
as Exhibit 4.
Nick Paterra from Teska Associates introduced himself on behalf of the Johnsons. He said
that Speedway's plan was well-thought out and he asks whether there is a good fit to
the property east of this property. He said that there was not opposition to the use but a
few fine tunings that could be brought forward. The landscape on the east side tapers to
12 feet as it goes north and there is not much room for landscape and berming or
fencing in that width and there is an abundance of vehicular paving where more
landscaping could be added. He suggests landscape mounted fencing that anticipates a
future use to the east. Mr. Paterra asks whether the driveway in the northeast corner is N
essential, as if closed off, it would reduce headlights. Mr. Paterra says the future 3
residential looks over forest preserve and should have buffer.As for lighting, Mr. Paterra =_
asks if they could be recessed to reduce offsite glare. He asks whether the videos and
advertisements could be dimmed. He said there is opportunity far mounding and fencing E
interior to the site on the east site which would not hinder circulation. >

Mr. Paterra brought up whether there was parking that accounted for the gaming that C
would be allowed.And he asked whether there was 24 hour operation for all of the uses �-
and whether there was an opportunity for dimming between 10pm to 5-6am. Mr.
a
Paterra asks about indoor dining and whether that will be occurring. For expanded ooi
packaged liquor, will there be bigger cave or expanded alcohol sales. These questions r�
center on how much additional late-night activity will be generated by the expanded use. 04

Mr. Schroedter said that there is currently 24-hour service. For parking related to
gaming, they do not believe it is significant issue as it is between 10am to 6pm. Business
starts to taper off after 9pm. The representative in the grey shirt said that canopy O
lighting is recessed;the sign lights are directed and would not glare to the properties. °
Mr. Schroedter said that they are close to their minimum standards for circulation so
additional landscaping would not be preferred. He said that the Riverwalk access was a =_
relief valve where there are other ways to find in and out for auto traffic. He could not
say that a truck would never go there. Chairman Cesario asked whether that drive could
be accessed currently, and Mr. Petrish said that it was. The KLOA representative said
CL
that the current access off of Milwaukee will be greatly improved by moving it further
away from the intersection. He said that Riverwalk Drive is a relief valve.

Chairman Cesario asks whether our existing rules with respect to lighting apply, and staff
agreed that it would. c
Commissioner Au asked to confirm whether the uses from the existing business
operation will remain the same other than the gaming feature. Mr. Schroedter said that
the building is bigger, but the improvements are proportional.
A representative from Hamilton Partners who is a partner in the vacant residential site
to the east. He stated that there are semi-trailers that park on north Riverwalk drive and
that there are some that turnaround on his property. He is concerned about what the
opening on Riverwalk will do to traffic. He asks whether additional plantings could be
made on the north side. His venture maintains North Riverwalk Drive, then he suggests
there should be a cost sharing as to the parkway improvements.
Mr. Schroedter said that Hamilton Partners is familiar with Speedway. He said their use
is a cycling use and the trucks utilize Milwaukee. The Hamilton Partners representative

asked whether the Riverwalk could be right-in-right-out. The Village Engineer mentioned
that residents seeking to turn left would be frustrated by a right-in-right-out and
suggests that a better option is to put a no outlet sign on the property.
Darcy Tapper is manager of 311 Riverwalk and she also lives there. She said that truckers
pull onto Riverwalk Drive to rest and the Village placed no parking signs there. She said
that tonight a trailer pulled into the residential complex and ruined landscaping. She said
that trucks try to pull into Riverwalk to try to turnaround and almost hit electrical box.
Commissioner Weinstein said that the Riverwalk curb cut may actually help truck drivers,
so they do not get lost.
Commissioner Weinstein asked whether the proposed gas station will be better for
Hamilton Partners than the existing gas station. The Hamilton Partners mentioned that
this is better than the crammed office building but is worried about hours of functions
within the project such as how long dining and gaming will be open.
Earl Johnson said that one of the key issues is the berm. He said that to the east will be °
120-unit apartment complex and those people will be directly impacted by what is c
occurring that the speedway gas station. o.

Commissioner Moodhe asked who the tenants are at the office building and said he a
vaguely recalled a trucking company there. The Village Engineer mentioned the three a
business names that appeared on a google map search. o

Commissioner Weinstein made a motion to approve the zoning relief as read onto the C
record, which included removal of the billboard sign subject to the restrictions set forth
in the lease. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Richards. c
Commissioner Weinstein said he was in favor. Commissioner Moodhe said this proposal
would make the existing gas station better and the additional access will alleviate some
of the traffic. Commissioner Au stated that the gas station is becoming a truck stop for it Q.
to have gaming not to provide other amenities for truck drivers. 0

Chairman Cesario suggested adding the minutes from the workshop to the record. He y
said that the usage is like what there is today and adds buffering and landscaping. He
said that it much cleaner and it involves removal of the billboard. _
