Mr. Trzebiatowski explained what was found at annual review inspection. Violations found
included a temporary sign and several unlicensed vehicles on north side of building. A
letter was sent to the owner and a follow-up inspection was conducted. It was found that

still there. Resolution drafted stating the owner will be made aware that they have 15 days
from the date of the Plan Commission approval to remove the extra unlicensed vehicles with
a maximum of five cars for sale on property.

work otherwise could do more regularly scheduled inspections.

removed and majority of unlicensed vehicles were removed, but several were still there.
Staff recommends deferral and looking for Plan Commission guidance as to citations and/or
more frequent reviews.
Commissioner Peardon stated that this owner has come years prior saying things will
change and he has had time and opportunity to clean everything up.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained process of citations.
Commissioner Graf asked if there has been a fine previously and if so, was there any
action. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained that he has been fined and is has been cleaned up
quickly at that time.
Mr. Frey explained he does have more cars that allowed at this point. Is looking to expand
the parking lot this year.
Commissioner Peardon is open to discussion regarding deferral and more frequent

inspections.

into compliance and doesn’t want that to happen again.

RESOLUTION PC 014-2019 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for Interstate
Partners LLC located at the east end of Commerce Center Parkway / Tax Key No.
2116.997.008.
Mr. Trzebiatowski explained proposed spec building south of CGI building and east of
Walmart. This is the last available lot in the business park. The building will be roughly
126,000 square feet and feet in roughly five feet taller than the previous spec building and
CGS but within the requirements of the zoning code. This site is governed by the General
design guide and Business Park design guide and this building meets the standards of
those guides. Waivers being requested by applicant include parking stall size and number
of landscape islands within the parking. Staff looking barrier protection to separate the
parking area and the detention pond. Staff is also looking for the height of the berm to be 9’
effective height with dense landscaping on west side of berm similar to what was used for
HSI/CGS site to minimize impact. Previously fill was added to this site from the other sites
which cause this berm to be not as effective as initially planned.
Tom Heller, applicant, is requesting the following:
- not adding to berm, but rather to add landscaping to provide screening from
residences,
- curbing rather than guardrail on south side of side
- change to wording of outdoor overnight parking, and
- bollard colors to be painted safety yellow. Changed to be contrasting color to match
the color scheme on the building.
Resolution to be amended to have approval subject to:
- Guardrail to curb

- Overnight parking language
- Contrasting colors on bollards
- Landscaping plan to be approved by Plan Commission and installed prior to
occupancy permit.

Alderman Kubacki seconded. Motion passed unanimously
RESOLUTION PC 015-2019 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan for D & J and
Sons, LLC located on a vacant parcel along North Cape Road / Tax Key No. 2259.981.002.
Mr. Trzebiatowski described building and site. Site was previously rezoned to M-1 in
advance of this review. Front portion of building will be an office and the remainder would
be storage and truck bays. Architecture of the building meets the Durham Hill design guide
for this neighborhood. Staff only recommends adding a brick band on the southern
elevation based on elevations. There is some outdoor storage on a gravel area on the site
that will be fenced with a concrete fencing/wall and staff recommends extending the
concrete wall to the bend in the fencing on the north side of the gravel area.
Commissioner Bartlett asked about the symmetry of building architecture.
Commissioner Jacques made a motion to amend and approve Resolution PC 015-2019.
Alderman Kubacki seconded. Motion passed unanimously
