f I'C[I C f [ (�`l Dear Planning & Zoning Commission, rn
I am requesting the following variances, for 495 Bernard Dr., from the Village of
Buffalo Grove Municipal Code, Chapter 17, in order to:
a
L
I
A. Construct a covered front porch encroaching q 7'-6" into the required
r ,� V+1,;Bunruunr.�+l;vt,o.'t i
c0
25 foot front setback line. [Section 17.040.020-(B Table)]
B. Construct a two-story addition to the existing house encroaching 5
feet into the required 10 foot separation between the primary
building and existing detached garage. [Section 17.32.020-(B)]
L
O
a
c
0
I hereby state that the following unique circumstances exist:
�"JyVllii���"�i<uulurai[,„ IIO u'r�yQ;V�y�?' i
G1
A. The existing house is located approximately 7 inches inside of the M
required front yard setback making the addition of a practical and o
847 aesthetically complimenting covered and protected front entry
impossible without the requested variation.
L
B. Due to the proximity of the detached garage to the house (16 feet .°
apart) the addition of a much needed mud room and expansion of c
84'/ ;,10d 3204 FAN" living space would not be practical without encroaching on the
required 10 foot separation. The 10 foot setback requirement for
the garage makes planning an addition to the main level of the >
i
structure difficult and impractical.
u l'bgtlI�;uayV. brou �
C
I hereby state that the following hardships would exist if the requested variations c°v�
were not granted:
a�
A. The existing home does not have any roof coverage at the front
entry capable of providing protection from the elements for arriving a
visitors and guests as well as a usable outdoor sitting area, unlike
most of the other homes along Bernard.
B. The existing home does not have any mud room or coat closet on a
the rear of the house, which is the family's primarily used entrance a
being readily accessible from the existing detached Garage. The
only coat closet for the home is at the front door and requires
walking through the Kitchen and Living Room after arriving from the
Packet Pg. 7
detached Garage.
C. The existing detached garage was originally constructed at a
location forward of the minimum required rear setback placing it
closer to the home than possible under code requirements. This
complicates any addition to the home within the setback
parameters of this particular lot and the zoning ordinance.

Response to Standards
�o
1. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances;
s
A. The existing house is located approximately 7 inches inside of the required front yard 0
setback making the addition of a practical and aesthetically complimenting covered and a
c
protected front entry impossible without the requested variation. o
B. Due to the proximity of the detached garage to the house(16 feet apart)the addition
of a much needed mud room and expansion of living space would not be practical >
0
without encroaching on the required 10 foot separation. The 10 foot setback 6
requirement for the garage makes planning an addition to the main level of the o
structure difficult and impractical. W
L
0
2. The proposed variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood; 0
•L
Through significant improvements, updates and exterior enhancements the property >
will increase in value substantially which will remain consistent with other new projects
in the neighborhood. The improved property will fit well within the surrounding
neighborhood while also lending a uniqueness to the property.
a�
c
3. There are practical difficulties or particular hardships in carrying out the strict letter of a
a.
this Chapter which difficulties or hardships have not been created by the person ;
presently having an interest in the property; and, E
z
U
A. The existing home does not have any roof coverage at the front entry capable of 2
providing protection from the elements for arriving visitors and guests as well as a a
usable outdoor sitting area, unlike most of the other homes along Bernard.
Packet Pg. 10
2.1.b
B. The existing home does not have any mud room or coat closet on the rear of the
house, which is the family's primarily used entrance being readily accessible from the
existing detached Garage. The only coat closet for the home is at the front door and
requires walking through the Kitchen and Living Room after arriving from the
detached Garage. o
C. The existing detached garage was originally constructed at a location forward of
L
the minimum required rear setback placing it closer to the home than possible under
code requirements. This complicates any addition to the home within the setback 0°
LO
parameters of this particular lot and the zoning ordinance.
c
O
4. The proposed variation will not be detrimental to the public health safety and welfare.
a
The variation would not have a detrimental effect on public health and safety. The
L
proposed front porch addition is open air and one story, being consistent with many i
homes in the neighborhood and thus has no impact on the neighboring properties.
The proposed home living space addition is well within the required minimum side
and rear setbacks as well as being under the code allowed maximum building height
and would have thus minimal aesthetic impact on the neighboring properties. The
proposed addition is consistent with other nearby homes and therefore does not a
diminish the value of those neighboring properties and does not endanger or impair
public health, safety and welfare. P

STANDARDS
The Planning & Zoning Commission is authorized to make a recommendation to the Village Board based c

recommend approval or disapproval of a variance from the provisions or requirements of this a

Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
We would like to install an upgraded ground sign to replace the existing outdated one. The
new signs overall size is 10'3" X 13'8 3/4" and will have an electronic message center. Due to
the large setback of 33 feet,the spacious size of the lot with 400 feet of frontage, and width of
in
the Public Way (5 lane roadway), we are proposing a larger sign so it can be easily read by
motorists. The new sign is more visually appealing and will be quicker to read with the white P
background. The existing and proposed signs are similar in size -existing sign is 9'8" X 6'10" (66
LU
square feet of text) and the proposed is 9'5" X 7'6" (71 square feet). We will use the existing
footing.
The property is surrounded by the Fire Department, a bank, and a strip mail. We feel this sign
M
fits in with the neighborhood. I-
M
The church has received a donation for the sign and feels blessed to be, able to afford the
message center which will allow parishioners and the public to be updated with service U)

PROPOSED SITE AND CONCEPT PLAN
Proposed Plan °1
E
The proposed redevelopment calls for razing the BMO Harris building and redeveloping the site into
4 lots with varying uses. Lot 1 is approximately 2.08 acres on the southwest portion of the site. It `d
would feature the Ricky Rockets Fuel Center and include 14 automobile fueling positions, a 8,720 a
square foot convenience store, and a 3,290 square foot car wash. The convenience store is larger
than the traditional convince store associated with fueling centers.
Lot 2 is 1.17 acres and is proposed to be developed into an 8,550 square foot retail center.The center
will be broken into smaller spaces based on tenant size requirements. The plan shows 50 parking
spaces that will be located south of retail center, aligning Lake Cook Road.
Page 1 of 3
Packet Pg. 46
3.A.1.a
Lot 3, which is 0.98 acres, is on the southeast portion of the site. It is being proposed to be a quick
service restaurant with a drive through.Approximately 50 parking spaces will be located on the south,
west, and east portions of the lot.
Lot 4 is 2.04 acres and is on the norther portion of the site. It includes three single-story 1,400 square
foot storage facilities, two 6,400 square foot buildings, and one two-story 17,250 square foot
building.Twelve parking stalls serve this lot.This portion of the site could change since the developer
is considering other options for this portion of the site.

The Comprehensive Plan and Rezoning
In April, 2018,the Village Board adopted the Lake Cook Corridor Plan as an amendment to the existing
Comprehensive Plan. The Lake Cook Plan does not specifically address this site but does recognize
the Lake Cook Road as an important commercial corridor for the Village that enjoys high levels of
visibility.The underlying 2009 Comprehensive Plan calls for this area to be industrial.To facilitate the
proposed redevelopment, a rezoning to B3 Planned Business District with a special use for planned
development would be required. The Planned Development would allow for the self-storage use as
that particular use is not permitted in the business district.

The Developer is 111 parking spaces. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a total of 94 parking spaces Y

DEVELOPMENT NARRATIVE
700 E. Lake Cook Road
Northeast Corner E. Lake Cook Road & Lexington Drive
BSTP Midwest, LLC is proposing a mixed-use redevelopment on the northeast corner of E. Lake Cook Road
and Lexington Drive commonly known as 700 E. Lake Cook Road, which is currently occupied by a 100,000
square foot office building.The existing tenant, BMO Harris Bank, has not elected to extend their lease and
will be vacating the building at the end of August.The redevelopment of the 7.6-acre parcel will include an
approximately 8,720 square foot convenience store and fuel center along with a 3,290 square foot Car
Wash (Lot 1), an approximately 8,550 square foot retail center (Lot 2), a quick service restaurant (Lot 3), o
and a self-storage facility(Lot 4). Y
0
0
The convenience store is an approximately 8,720 square foot Ricky Rockets Fuel Center. The fuel center v
0
has seven multi-product dispensers, providing 14 automobile fueling positions, along with 22 parking
spaces proposed. The convenience store is larger than a traditional store found with fueling centers. The w
store will offer a wide array fountain drinks, coffee, pre-packaged food and drinks. This development will c
0
also offer a state-of-the-art car wash. The car wash features dual conveyor belt system in lieu of the '-
traditional metal guardrail conveyance systems, and the building has significant windows, enhancing the
car wash experience for customers and aesthetics for passerby vehicles. E
a
The approximately 8,550 square foot retail center will be demised into smaller spaces based on tenant size —°�
requirements. The retail center will have a drive thru on the west end of the building, with the stacking -(D
lanes wrapping around the north end of the building. Tenants for the quick service restaurant with a drive 0
thru and the self-storage facility have not yet been identified.
d
0
The northern portion of the parcel contains an existing stormwater detention basin which currently c
provides detention for the existing site. We anticipate that based on the proposed reduction of impervious a
area, the existing stormwater detention basin will have adequate storage volume for the proposed c
development. Stormwater calculations will be provided upon the preparation of preliminary engineering
U)
plans. c
The primary access for the development is provided via a right-in/right-out access and full access off
d
Lexington Drive.The right-in/right-out access point will provide direct access to the convenience store and Cn
fuel center. The full access point will provide access to all lots via a common access drive extending to the
east property line. There is an existing access control restriction along Lake-Cook Road; we are in the a
process of requesting the removal of this access control to allow for a right-in/right-out only driveway,
d
which is consistent with the other retail properties along this corridor. s
U
�a
The location of the proposed signage for the development is as shown on the enclosed plans,with separate a
monument type signs on each of the lots.
Upon approval of these requests by the Village of Buffalo Grove, the development will commence
construction in summer 2021.
We appreciate your initial feedback regarding our development proposal.

Public Hearings/Items For Consideration
1. Consider a Variation for the Proposed Sunroom Addition Which Will Encroach into the
Rear Yard Setback at 67 W Fabish Drive. (Trustee Johnson) (Staff Contact: Nicole
Woods)
Mr. Constantini described his proposal for a sunroom at 67 W. Fabish Drive.
Com. Weinstein asked the petitioner the distance from the fence to the path behind his
home.
Mr. Constantini said he did not know.
Packet Pg. 53
3.B.1
09/16/2020
Com. Weinstein commented that there is a pretty large space between the fence and the
path, a minor encroachment.
Com Weinstein asked if the sunroom was the some size as the existing deck.
Mr. Constantini said the proposed sunroom is just as wide, but not as long. He noted that
the sunroom is actually smaller than the existing deck.
Com. Goldspiel asked the petitioner how they determined the size of the sunroom.
Mr. Constantini said his budget for the sunroom dictated the size of the structure in
addition to the existing location of the air conditioning unit and patio door.
Com. Worlikar asked about Image A on packet page 12 regarding the proposed patio.
d
Village Planner,Akash said that the proposed patio is code compliant and is not part of
c
the current petition.
Chairperson Cesario commented on the setback rules and noted that in this case, there is 0
no backyard neighbor and the proposed sunroom would not be encroaching on a o
neighbor's home. a

Regular Meeting
Other Matters for Discussion
Deputy Community Development Director Woods introduced the Fence Code amendments.
Village Planner Akash discussed the two types of variations that have been continuously
approved which includes(1) fences in the corner yard setback and (2)fences that are six feet
and solid.
Com. Goldspiel commented on the two issues. He spoke in favor of the corner yard setback
amendment, but had concerns regarding the six foot and solid fences. He gave historical context
regarding six foot solid fences in the Code. He suggested that the code reads that a property
Packet Pg. 54
3.B.1
09/16/2020
that is adjacent to a nonresidential area can have a six foot fence. His worry is that a six foot
fence on an R6 lot is just too big.
Chairperson Cesario commented on the corner yard setback and spoke in favor of the proposed
