Chairman Smith read the notice of Public Hearing as published in the Buffalo Grove Daily Herald, explained the procedure to be followed for the public hearing, and swore in all persons who wished to give testimony. Commissioners present: Chairman Smith Mr. Khan Mr. Stark Mr. Cohn Ms. Myer Mr. Weinstein Mr. Goldspiel Mr. Matthews Commissioners absent: Ms. Johnson Also present: Ms. Tanya Tigra Russell Mr. Seth Pines, Pines Development Group Ms. Beverly Sussman, Village Trustee Mr. Mike Terson, Village Trustee Mr. Andrew Stein, Village Trustee Mr. William Raysa, Village Trustee Mr. Robert Pfeil, Village Planner The following exhibits were presented by the petitioner at the public hearing: Exhibit 1 Petitioner's packet, including project narrative and parking analysis Exhibit 2 Village staff memo dated August 31, 2012 by Robert Pfeil, Village Planner Ms. Russell provided an overview of the Bright Future International organization noting that its mission is to help children around the world develop positive life values. She explained that the proposed facility in Buffalo Grove would have enrichment programs including arts and dance. The program would be after school for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. The hours of operation would be 3:00 to 8:00 p.m on weekdays, with classes during the 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. time period. The enrollment would be from 30 to 50 children. The facility would be designed with four or five classrooms. The staff would include a director, three instructors and teachers and some tutors. Ms. Russell stated that 10 parking spaces are allocated for the facility. In the morning parking demand would be two spaces. From 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. four parking spaces would be needed, including spaces for parents bringing children to the facility. From 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. the parking demand would be eight spaces, including spaces for employees. From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. four parking spaces would be needed. Ms. Russell indicated that occasionally there would be special programs on evenings and weekends requiring up to 50 parking spaces. She said that adjacent businesses have available surplus parking, and she would try to have agreements with the property owners to use some spaces. Ms. Russell addressed the criteria for a special use of the Village Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Russell stated that the facility will meet all six of the criteria. She stated that the facility will serve the public convenience and will be in harmony with adjacent uses. All activities will be indoor and there won't be detrimental or injurious impacts on adjacent properties. She stated that the facility will have adequate utilities, including remodeled bathrooms meeting accessibility requirements. She stated that adequate parking will be provided, and she will try to reach agreement with adjacent properties such as Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion to use surplus parking when necessary. Commissioner Stark inquired if Bright Future has other facilities, why is a facility being proposed for this location in Buffalo Grove, and who will be served. He asked what is the source of funding. Ms. Russell stated that the Wheeling location is an office with no programs for children. The Buffalo Grove facility is in a good location to serve the Northwest suburbs including north to Vernon Hills and east to Lincolnshire. She said the facility will serve children whose parents work. She indicated that private donors provide financial support Commissioner Stark asked about how children would reach the facility after school. Ms. Russell stated that a bus company will be contracted to pick children up from their schools, and some children will be brought by their parents. Commissioner Stark inquired if licensing is required by DCFS, and if not, would written documentation be provided indicating that an exemption has been granted. Ms. Russell stated that the facility is exempt from DCFS licensing. She has been advised by DCFS staff that the agency will inspect the facility but it will not require a license. Commissioner Goldspiel commented that he is concerned that the proposed facility is apparently relying on possible agreements for parking to support its use, but no actual agreements are in place. He said he is also concerned with the lack of sidewalks in the area, particularly if children will need to walk from off-site parking areas. Ms. Russell stated that children would always be accompanied by a parent or other adults to ensure their safety. She said that daily pick-ups and drop-offs of children would be done using parking spaces directly adjacent to the main door of the facility. Mr. Pines stated that he has talked to staff at the Twin Rinks Ice Pavilion concerning use of the overflow lot on the east side of Abbott Court. Twin Rinks staff indicated that they will work with Bright Future concerning an agreement to use the overflow lot. Mr. Pines reviewed the parking available on other properties to the north and west of the proposed facility. He noted that the property at 1380 Abbott Court has unused spaces, and he thinks an agreement can be reached for the use of some spaces by Bright Future. He said that the building at 1360 Abbott Court to the west has parking that is rarely used. He stated that although there are no agreements in place to use off-site parking, he believes that are several options and agreements can be completed. Commissioner Myer commented that the afternoon peak is the main issue concerning parking and safe access to the facility. She said that traffic flow and formal arrangements for off-site parking need to be evaluated. Commissioner Cohn said that he is familiar with the Twin Rinks facility, and hasn't seen heavy use of the overflow parking area. He noted that children are generally dropped off close to the entrance of the ice rink rather than walking from the remote parking area. He asked Mr. Pines if he has observed children walking to the ice rink along Abbott Court. He also inquired if traffic is heavy on Abbott Court from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. Mr. Pines stated that he has not seen children walking to the ice rink along Abbott Court from the remote parking lot. Mr. Pines stated that Abbott Court is not busy with traffic in the afternoon. He estimated that in a given 15-minute interval, there are typically three motor vehicles using the street. Commissioner Khan noted that there is a sidewalk on the east side of Abbott Court adjacent to the Twin Rinks remote parking lot, and perhaps a crosswalk could be designated for safe pedestrian travel from the parking area to the Bright Future facility. He inquired if there are parking restrictions on Abbott Court. He also asked if there are schools close enough to the facility that some children may walk to the after-school programs. Mr. Pines said that parking is not allowed on Abbott Court. Ms. Russell said that Aptakisic Junior High School is just south of Abbott Court, but students from the junior high are probably not the age group that would attend Bright Future. Commissioner Weinstein said his only concern is the drop-off and pick-up process. If there are 50 children, it seems that the parking demand would be greater than four spaces as estimated by Ms. Russell. Ms. Russell indicated that she is assuming it would take about five minutes for a parent to pick-up their child, so the parking spaces would turn over fairly quickly and be available for multiple users in the time period when parents would come to the facility. She noted that the pick-up time period is spread out over a couple of hours, so there won't be a lot of pick-ups at the same time. Commissioner Weinstein said it still seems that there could be more than four pick-ups at one time. Ms. Russell said that programs are flexible in terms of scheduling, so she doesn't think there would be a lot of parents at one time picking up their children. Commissioner Weinstein commented that he has not observed traffic problems at the Twin Rinks remote parking lot and most parents drop-off children at the entrance to the ice rink. Trustee Terson said that the Twin Rinks remote lot is generally empty. He said that there doesn't appear to be a safety issue for the children in terms of getting to and from the facility. He inquired about the number of employees at Bright Future and whether they could park off-site. He noted that based on his personal experience at the Longfellow Clubhouse, a program for 50 children does not generate more than four parent cars at one time. Ms. Russell said that there would be 8 employees at the busiest times, and they could park off-site if arrangements are made with the property owners. Trustee Stein noted that the Twin Rinks remote lot is quite large and is not heavily used. Trustee Sussman commented that she formerly rented the space at 1374 Abbott Court, so she can confirm that Abbott Court is not a busy street. She said that it appears to be feasible for the petitioner to make arrangements for off-site parking for employees. She indicated that there have not been parking problems for businesses in the Abbott Court area. There being no further comments or questions from anyone else present, Chairman Smith closed the public hearing at 8:15 pm. Respectfully submitted, Robert E. Pfeil, Village Planner APPROVED BY: ERIC SMITH, Chair Board or Commission: ❑ Plan commission Document Type: ❑A e g nda 0 Minutes Meeting ate: 09/05/2012 Type of Meeting: PUBLIC HEARING BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION September 5, 2012 Buffalo Grove Park District, 225 McHenry Road Amendment of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and special use in the B-2 and B-3 District Proposed performing arts center (re-use of the Congregation Beth Am facility) Chairman Smith called the hearing to order at 8:15 p.m. in the Village Council Chambers, Buffalo Grove Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, Illinois. Chairman Smith read the notice of Public Hearing as published in the Buffalo Grove Daily Herald, explained the procedure to be followed for the public hearing, and swore in all persons who wished to give testimony. Commissioners present: Chairman Smith Mr. Khan Mr. Stark Mr. Cohn Ms. Myer Mr. Weinstein Mr. Goldspiel Mr. Matthews Commissioners absent: Ms. Johnson Also present: Mr. Dan Schimmel, Executive Director, Buffalo Grove Park District Mr. Ted Haug, Legat Architects Ms. Beverly Sussman, Village Trustee Mr. Mike Terson, Village Trustee Mr. Andrew Stein, Village Trustee Mr. William Raysa, Village Trustee Mr. Robert Pfeil, Village Planner The following exhibits were presented by the petitioner at the public hearing: Exhibit 1 Aerial location map Exhibit 2 Site plan Exhibit 3 Floor plan- existing facility Exhibit 4 Floor plan- proposed Exhibit 5 Memo dated August 28, 2012 from Dan Schimmel, Executive Director, Buffalo Grove Park District Exhibit 6 Letter dated August 27, 2012 from Ted Haug, Legat Architects Exhibit 7 Staff memo dated August 31, 2012 by Robert Pfeil, Village Planner Mr. Dan Schimmel provided an overview of the proposed facility. He noted that a performing arts center has been discussed by the Park District and Village for about 20 years. He stated that in terms of scope it would be similar to the Beth Am facility in terms of traffic. Mr. Schimmel reviewed the programs operated by the Park District that would be conducted at the facility. Programs include dance activities that serve over 500 participants ranging in age from young children to senior citizens. The District has theatrical programs, and productions would be presented at the new facility. The hours of operation would be 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Mr. Ted Haug presented an aerial location map of the site and adjacent properties (Exhibit 1). He noted that the property has access from several locations on Route 83, and also from the Grove shopping center. He stated that the vacant parcel north of the building has a stormwater detention area, and the project civil engineer is evaluating whether the existing detention area will accommodate future impervious surface is additional parking is constructed on the vacant parcel. Mr. Haug presented the site plan (Exhibit 2) noting that there are currently 132 parking spaces on the Beth Am parcel. He presented the floor plans (Exhibits 3 and 4) indicating that the existing infra-structure in the building will be preserved as much as possible. He indicated the locations where dance studios, classrooms and offices would be located, noting that the building already has classrooms. Mr. Haug reviewed parking for the facility. He noted that the Village parking standard of one space per 2.5 seats for a theater would require 200 parking spaces for the proposed 500 seat theater. He stated that several parking options are being considered, including the use of the grass area on the vacant parcel north of the building in good weather and the use of shuttle buses from off-site locations such as park facilities relatively close to the site. Mr. Schimmel addressed the special use criteria of the Village Zoning Ordinance: 1. The Special Use will serve the public convenience at the location of the subject property; or the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. We strongly believe that our use of the property will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the businesses or residents bordering the property. In fact, we believe our use will bring in more business to the neighboring shopping center, restaurant and bank without negatively impacting the residents north and east of the property. From a public health and morals standpoint, the programs offered will be culturally diverse performing arts programs and productions and shall be designed to build character, poise, and confidence for those participating in the programs while serving as a point of pride for the community. Those enjoying the performances should find them to be entertaining and uplifting. 2. Location relates to the size of the special use, intensity of the operation, the size of the property, the location of the property, and that said uses should be in harmony with those uses surrounding the property. We feel that we will "grow into" this facility. We certainly will not fill it to its maximum capacity right away, if ever. It will take time to grow programs at the same quality level currently enjoyed by the community. The function of this property is essentially to offer people the opportunity to learn skills related to performing, and then to share those skills with others. It is educational in nature. People will come and go, much as they would in the neighboring shopping center or as they have with Congregation Beth Am. 3. The special use shall not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property, for the purposes already permitted in the zoning district, nor substantially diminish and impair other property valuations in the neighborhood. It is our belief that our proposed uses will not detract in any way from the current property uses or values. In fact, we strongly believe that our use will result in neighboring restaurants seeing an increase in meals sold and that neighboring stores will enjoy more sales as a result of this development. We would hope to develop long term relationships with neighboring businesses in order to support each others efforts at serving the community 4. The nature, location, and size of the buildings or structures involved with the establishment of the special use will not impede, hinder, or discourage the development and use of adjacent land and buildings in accord with the zoning district in which they lie. We are prepared to execute an aggressive program to not only maintain all exterior amenities, but to make any improvements necessary. We have the financial and personnel resources available to properly maintain all elements of this property. Our performance at maintaining park district properties is exemplary and we intend on maintaining this facility at that same level. Improvements will be placed in priority order based on safety, Americans with Disabilities requirements, effectiveness and aesthetics. This includes making any necessary repairs to curbing, parking lots, drive ways, sewer structures or lighting. Except for some cosmetic changes to the exterior, there aren't any major structural changes planned. 5. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been or will be provided. We have four points of access and egress onto the property (two from Illinois Route 83, and two from The Grove Shopping Center, allowing access into the property. In fact, these same points of access provide access into the First American Bank, Wendy's, and the Grove Shopping Center. The primary design of this access was to maximize traffic flow for all parties. At this juncture, we believe that all utility, road, drainage and facility issues have already been addressed. We are developing the interior of a facility that has been in this location for more than a couple of decades. 6. Parking area shall be of suitable size for the particular special use. This has been addressed in the memo. We believe we have more than enough parking for our normal day to day use (maximum of 150-200 participants at any one time - or 80 of our 131 available parking spaces). However, when we use the auditorium for productions (6-7 productions per year) our needs are for 150-200 spaces for our largest use. We have obtained permission to use the bank parking (42 spots) when they are closed and guests could also use Bank Drive (20 spots) for a total of 193 spots. On larger events we can also provide on site parking on the grass area (approximately 150 spots by Beth Am estimates) and/or shuttle service to remote parking at Rylko Park. Property Parking 131 spots Bank Parking 42 spots On Street Parking 20 spots Total 193 spots Commissioner Cohn inquired if the 200 spaces required by Village ordinance for the theater includes parking for the cast and crew involved in a production. He inquired if the Park District would use parking at Town Center, similar to what Beth Am has done on high holy days. Mr. Schimmel stated that parking would be added as needed to fully serve theatrical productions. Jerome (J.V) Springman, Jr., 222 Stanton Court, stated that he is a member of the Beth Am congregation, and the grass area north of the building is used for parking for the high holy days. Spaces behind the Grove shopping center and on the First American Bank property are also used. Town Center has been used with permission of the owner, but there is not a formal written agreement. The Buffalo Grove Police Department provides traffic management for pedestrians to cross Route 83. Commissioner Cohn commented that Town Center seems like an obvious solution for extra parking assuming that appropriate pedestrian safety measures are in place. Commissioner Stark inquired if any use other than parking is being considered for the vacant lot north of the building. He asked if the proposed facility is doubling the amount of space currently used by the Park District for performing arts. Mr. Schimmel stated that no uses other than parking are planned for the vacant parcel. He said that the Alcott Center is approximately 38,000 sq.ft. and space in the Fitness Center and Emmerich facility are also used for programs. He noted that the building for the proposed center is 39,000 sq.ft., so it's not as large as the total space currently used for programs in the other facilities. Commissioner Stark asked if the proposal for a downtown development on the Village campus and Buffalo Grove Golf Course would be usable by the Park District for performing arts programs. Mr. Schimmel said that the downtown proposal originally had a 2,400 seat auditorium that has now been reduced to 1,200 to 1,400 seats. He noted that the District's proposed theater in the Beth Am building would be 500 seats. He said the Park District will continue discussions with the developer, but he isn't sure what the Park District's place will be in the overall programming of the downtown facility. Commissioner Khan asked if the traffic signal on Route 83 helps manage traffic flow in and out properties such as Beth Am where the proposed performing facility would be located. Mr. Schimmel said the signal is south of the access points used for the Beth Am facility. He said the Park District would request assistance from the Buffalo Grove Police Department to manage pedestrian crossings if parking at Town Center is used. Commissioner Goldspiel inquired if the 132 spaces on the site and the 43 spaces on the First American Bank property would be adequate to serve the 500 seat theater. He asked if spaces at Rylko Park are available to support the performing arts center. Mr. Haug said that parking demand will be evaluated, and appropriate arrangement will be made to meet the demand. Mr. Schimmel said that the parking at Rylko Park is available, and it is along Route 83 fairly close to the performing arts center site. Commissioner Weinstein noted that Village staff suggests that parking be evaluated after the facility has been in operation to determine if more permanent parking should be provided on-site such as on the vacant lot. Mr. Schimmel said the Park District will agree to this type of evaluation after there has been some experience using the facility, but he requests that it be structured as an administrative review. Commissioner Cohn inquired if the Torah Academy currently sub-leasing space from Beth Am will have to move. Mr. Schimmel said that the Academy can stay until June 30, 2013. Renovations will then be started, so the Academy will have to vacate its space. Chairman Smith asked if the special use ordinance for Beth Am addresses parking management. Mr. Pfeil said the ordinance does require Beth Am to provide adequate parking for major events such as the high holy days. Chairman Smith inquired about the number of major performances that would be presented in the proposed facility. Mr. Schimmel stated that there are approximately twelve major theater productions per year, usually running for three nights. The Buffalo Grove Singers annual concert is usually in September, and there is a summer musical. Chairman Smith noted that Village staff has asked for comment concerning the rezoning of the vacant parcel from B-2 to B-3 so that all of the property would have uniform zoning of B-3. Mr. Pfeil noted that the B-2 designation is not needed for any uses proposed by the Park District. This zoning designation dates back to the zoning in place when the Seigle's home improvement center was approved. Commissioner Stark commented that if the vacant lot is used only as parking, it may not be necessary to modify the zoning. Mr. Raysa noted that the rezoning was not published as part of the current public hearing on the Park District petition. Chairman Smith asked for public comments. Mr. Don Stillman, 109 Woodstone Drive, said that he is pleased with the proposal. He suggested that the vacant lot should be managed and signed to restrict parking except when it is needed as overflow for large events. Mr. Michael Schwartz, president of Congregation Beth Am, noted that the Congregation will continue using the sanctuary until fall of 2013, so it would be after November 2013 when Park District programs would start. He indicated that performance events probably wouldn't begin until 2014. He said the proposed performing arts center is a perfect fit for re-use of the building. There being no further comments or questions from anyone else present, Chairman Smith closed the public hearing at 9:15 pm. Respectfully submitted, Robert E.

COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS - None BRIGHT FUTURE, 1370 ABBOTT COURT - SPECIAL USE FOR A RECREATION AND CULTURAL FACILITY IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT Moved by Commissioner Weinstein to recommend approval to the Village Board of the petition for a special use for a recreation and cultural facility for school-aged children, kindergarten through eighth grade, subject to submittal of documentation to the Village that the facility is exempt from licensing by the IL Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Commissioner Khan seconded the motion. Commissioner Goldspiel suggested that the commission consider an amendment making the recommendation subject to the petitioner providing written agreements allowing off-site parking on adjacent properties. Commissioner Cohn suggested requiring that employees park off-site. He noted that Trustee Sussman has indicated that based on her personal experience in having her business in this building, parking supply is not a problem for this site or adjacent properties. Also, Mr. Pines, who owns this building and has developed other sites on Abbott Court, has testified that there is unused parking on adjacent properties that will probably be available for use by this facility assuming that agreements can be reached. Commissioner Cohn moved to amend the motion to make it subject to the petitioner dedicating parking for customers and other clients on the site, and entering into agreements with adjacent property owners to allow employees to park off-site. Commissioner Matthews seconded the motion. Commissioner Goldspiel commented that there is no assurance that adjacent property owners will allow the use of their parking. Commissioner Weinstein commented that the Village won't be able to enforce this type of parking restriction. Chairman Smith concurred with Commissioner Weinstein. Chairman Smith called for a vote on the motion to amend, and the motion failed by a vote of 7 to 0, with one abstention: AYES: None NAYS: Khan, Stark, Cohn, Myer, Weinstein, Matthews, Smith ABSENT: Johnson ABSTAIN: Goldspiel Chairman Smith called for a vote on the original motion to recommend approval of the petition for a special use, and the vote was as follows: AYES: Khan, Stark, Cohn, Myer, Weinstein, Matthews, Smith NAYS: Goldspiel ABSENT: Johnson ABSTAIN: None The motion passed 7 to 1.
