FINDING
Section 9-1-17 of the Zoning Code - Standards for a Text Amendment - states that the Planning andZoning Commission (PZC) shall not recommend the adoption ofa proposed amendment unless it finds thatthe adoption ofsuch amendment is in the public interest and isnot solely for the interest ofthe petitioner.
The Commission discussed the proposal and verified that the amendment will only affect the price displayportion of gas station ground signs - it will not change any of the other existing regulations for these signs.There was some discussion about the potential brightness of electronic signs and proximity to residentialproperties, however it was decided that the current code already has rules requiring sign illumination to beturned off at night when a house isnearby.

PETITIONER(S): SHALIN KOTHARI
PROJECT ADDRESS: 1317 ESSEX DRIVE
VILLAGE BOARD MEETING DATE: JUly 11, 2011
ZONING DISTRICT: R-3, ONE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
Vote: 10 Ayes 1Absent
Does the Planning and Zoning Commission find that this request meets the Standardsfor a variation (Section 9-1-15 ofthe Zoning Code)?
Request by Shalin Kothari for a four (4) foot rear yard setback variation from Section 9-3-6-E-1 toallow a deck to be set back forty-six (46) feet from the rear lot line instead of the minimum requiredfifty (50) feet at 1317 Essex Drive.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends noconditions.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
None.
FINDING
Section 9-1-15 ofthe Zoning Code (Standards for Variation) states that no variation shall be recommended bythe Planning and Zoning Commission unless it finds that the Standards for Variation set forth in the ZoningCode are met.
The petitioner is proposing to replace the original 6 foot by 6 foot deck elevated more than 5 feet abovegrade that was constructed by the builder, with a larger deck that will encroach into the 50 foot requiredrear setback by 4 feet. The petitioner indicated that in order to obtain the full use and enjoyment of thedeck it needs to be 14 feet in depth so a table and chairs would fit comfortably without leading to safetyconcerns for his children.
The petitioner noted that the proposed deck would be similar to decks on several neighboring properties,although some ofthose neighboring properties have asetback requirement less than 50 feet because theyare technically in a different unit of the subdivision. These nearby properties have a required rear setbackof30 feet. The petitioner noted that the purpose ofthe 50 foot setback was due in large part to the woodedlots in the White Oak Subdivision; however, this specific property isnot wooded.
The Planning and Zoning Commission stated their general sentiment that the requested deck would be animprovement to the property that would not diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood andnoted that the deck would not have a detrimental impact on the neighbors; many of whom have similardecks. Itwas noted that the amount of the relief requested is minor (4 feet) relative to the required setback

(50 feet). The Planning and Zoning Commission also discussed the history of the Village granting similarvariations in this area and determined that this request meets the variation standards.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERSChairman Gordon Thoren Myrene lozzoVice-Chairperson Eva Combs Thomas KrettlerDonna Boomgarden Gaurav PatelMichael Gaeta Steve WehoferSteve Hehn Denise WilsonLenard Henderson
The following attachments are hereby incorporated as part of this Finding ofFact:
Request by Shalin Kothari for a four (4) foot rear yard setback variation from Section 9-3-6-E-1 toallow a deck to be set back forty-six (46) feet from the rear lot line instead ofthe minimum requiredfifty (50) feet at 1317 Essex Drive.
PROPOSAL
The petitioner is proposing to construct a deck that is over 5 feet above grade (considered a raised deck),which per the zoning code must meet the setback requirements of the principal structure (the house). Thedevelopment agreement for this portion of the White Oak subdivision includes a rear yard setback of 50feet, which supersedes the rear yard setback of 30 feet in the R-3 One Family Residential District. Theproposed deck would replace an existing deck that was built atthe time ofthe house construction.
The required setback would permit a raised deck to be just under 10.5 feet in depth, which the petitionerhas indicated would not allow the full enjoyment oruse ofthe property. The petitioner isrequesting that thedeck be permitted at 14 feet in depth to allow adequate space for tables and chairs, which would be similarto other neighboring properties. The petitioner considered an alternative of constructing a deck below 5feet in height (considered at-grade), which would require aset back of5 feet from the rear property line andcould therefore be larger, but the petitioner has stated that the walk-out house design is not well suited foran at-grade deck.
The petitioner has noted in his application that some houses in the neighborhood have similar or largerdecks as in his proposal. The houses in the neighborhood are built at slightly different placements relativeto the rear property line and so some houses have more space to build without encroaching into therequired setback. Also, the houses located to the south and east that were built by a prior developer havea 30 foot rear yard setback requirement, instead ofthe 50 feet required in this subdivision.
VARIATION STANDARDS
Section 9-1-15 of the Zoning Code - Standards for a Variation - states that the Planning and ZoningCommission shall not recommend the adoption ofa proposed variation unless it finds that the variation meetsthe Standards for Variations as set forth in the Zoning Code.
Variations from the Zoning Code involve granting relief to a petitioner based on a situation in which theproperty cannot yield a reasonable return, a unique circumstance, and physical zoning hardships related tothe property (not the petitioner). If this request is approved, the reduced setback would be granted to theproperty by ordinance in perpetuity oruntil otherwise amended ordissolved by afuture ordinance.
APPLICABLE ZONING CODE SECTION
Section 9-3-6-E-1 of the Zoning Code states that decks a minimum of five feet above grade, as measuredat the primary structure, shall be subject to the setback requirements of the principal structure, and shallmeet the rear yard setback requirements of the principal structure orextend up to ten feet from the principalstructure. The White Oak Development Agreement includes a 50 foot rear yard setback for the principalstructure.
Statements of Awareness were received from one side yard neighbor (1327 Essex Drive) and one rearyard neighbor (1350 Bison Lane) and the petitioner attempted to contact the other adjacent neighbors.Standard notification letters have been sent to surrounding properties within 150 feet and no commentshave been received.
STAFF SUMMARY
A rear yard encroachment of approximately 4 feet into a 50 foot setback is minimal and would not likelyhave a detrimental impact on the neighborhood. The Village Board has approved similar and greaterencroachments elsewhere in this zoning district; however, each case must be reviewed on its merits.
The purpose of the increased rear yard setback was intended to require wider open spaces and in somecases the houses are on wooded lots with areas ofpreserved trees. This lot is not wooded, but is locatedon a block that requires a 50 foot deep open space in the rear yard. The Development Agreement andZoning Code do not, however, prohibit fences along the property lines or accessory structures such asstorage sheds. .

To Whom It May Concern:
We are filing this variation to construct a 14 (length) X 20 (wide) deck off of our kitchen,over our walk-out basement. In the process offiling for the permits with the Village ofHoffman Estates, we were informed by the Village that the permit could not be approvedbecause it would violate the 50-foot rear-yard setback by 3.56 feet. Therefore, thelongest we could build our deck to be compliant with the setback requirement would be10.44 feet. An alternative suggested by the Village was to allow the deck to be 14 feetlong, but no more than 5 feet above the ground.
We would like to stay with our original plans for a few reasons:
1) The concern of our children's safety
2) The ability to utilize the space in a practical manner
3) The ability to enjoy a deck comparable to many of our neighbors
In designing our deck, child safety was the main factor we took into consideration. Weplan to have a gate to the stairs and the stairs are designed to have a landing midway tominimize any potential falls. Additionally, the primary purpose of the deck will be fordining as it is right off the kitchen. As a result, we intend to put a patio table with chairs.Patio furniture can be pretty bulky and we do not want the chairs to be positioned right upagainst the railing so the children do not use the chairs to climb over the railing.
Moreover, we want to ensure we have sufficient space overall to utilize the deck in apractical manner. Having a deck that is 10 feet long will be narrow for general utilizationas stated above. If we were asked to potentially reduce the width of our deck tosomething less than 20 feet, we would not be as concerned. Furthermore, we will beusing the deck for frequent dining so therefore it would not serve our purpose with thealternative proposed by the Village. We would have to climb down a set of stairs off ourkitchen carrying plates of food. While this would be okay on occasion, it would not bepractical everyday during the spring/summer seasons.
Lastly, when we look out into our backyard, we can see many of our neighbors enjoyingtheir existing decks similar to the one we are proposing to construct, a couple which arebeyond the 50-foot rear-yard setback. They did not construct their deck violating thesetback requirements. When their decks were constructed by the developer, the current50-foot rear-yard setback was not in place. The setback requirement went into placewhen my developer (Kimball Hills) started constructing homes in a more wooded areawith the intent to preserve as many of thetrees as possible. However, my yard has onlyone tree, which would not be affected with the construction of the proposed deck.
For the reasons stated above, primarily child safety, I ask that you take our variation intoconsideration.

STAFF ASSIGNED: JOSH EDWARDS JA£
Request by Jetco Properties, Inc. (Property Owner) and Camburas + Theodore, Ltd. (Petitioner) forapproval of a Master Sign Plan in accordance with Section 9·3·8·M·12 of the Zoning Code for theJewel property at 1485 Palatine Road based on the "Jewel Property Palatine Road Master SignPlan" (dated July6, 2011).
PROPOSAL
The Jewel store at 1485 Palatine Road will be undergoing a renovation of the store interior and the storeintends to also update their exterior signage as part of the project. The existing wall signs will be replacedand relocated slightly and an additional sign will be added identifying the new S1. Alexius Clinic locatedinside Jewel.
MASTER SIGN PLAN STANDARDS
Section 9-3-8-M-12 of the Zoning Code requires that in instances where the Zoning Code cannot be strictlyfollowed, that the owner may propose aMaster Sign Plan to accommodate the signs on the property and to setstandards and restrictions on the signs. The Village requires a Master Sign Plan in lieu of sign variationsexcept where a Master Sign Plan is not feasible or warranted (for a very minor request where a variation isdeemed acceptable to request). The Zoning Code lists the goals that a Master Sign Plan should achieve asfollows:
• Result in architecture and graphics of a scale appropriate for the SUbject development and thesurrounding area;
• Provide signage consistent with the site plan and architecture ofthe project:• Avoid visual clutter;• Allow visitors, employees, and consumers to readily identify the business entrances, while
addressing the community's need for attractive, unobtrusive architecture and commercial graphics;and
• Result in a unified theme ofsignage for the project.
1
Petitioners are encouraged to take a comprehensive approach to each master sign plan proposal becausethe plan will provide guidelines for signs that are desired both today, and into the future. The Plan functionsas a "mini-sign code" for the property. The creation of a Master Sign Plan involves merging andconsidering several perspectives, including:
• Current Code requirements.• Prior variation history on the subject property, as well as similar properties.• Existing signage on the property.• Specific current signage requests by the property owner.• Likely possible signage requests in the future (consider the type use of the property and its
location).• Unique characteristics of the subject property.
Because an applicant for an existing building is typically focused on an immediate signage need, part of thestaff review involves making suggestions for possible future signage or to set standards for the signs toencourage a higher quality of signage. In this case, the draft Master Sign Plan that is presented to thePlanning & Zoning Commission contains specific signs proposed by the petitioner and identifies theallowable placement and design ofwall signs.
PLAN DESCRIPTION
The petitioner isrequesting approval ofa Master Sign Plan toaccommodate six wall signs on Jewel as wellas an existing ground sign. The Jewel store would include one larger sign to identify the store name, onesecondary large sign, and four smaller signs to identify the services and components of the store. Staff hasassisted the petitioner by preparing a Plan that accommodates the petitioner's proposal and otherwisegenerally defers to the zoning code. The Plan sets standards for the size and location of the wall signs.The Plan requires that signs fit into the architecture of the building and be centered within the variegatedsections ofthe facade, As stated in the Plan, it applies only to the Jewel property, and does not include theadjacent shopping center, the Kindercare and Hoffman Estates Community Bank out-lots, or the multitenant out-lot building, all ofwhich are under separate ownership.

In March 2011, the Village approved a Master Sign Plan for the adjacent Rose Plaza Shopping Centerretail buildings, which includes similar sign types (wall signs and a ground sign) and was initiated primarilyto accommodate wall signs on the rear ofthe multi-tenant out-lot building, with certain restrictions.
Standard notification letters have been sent to surrounding properties within 300 feet and no commentshave been received.

STAFF SUMMARY
Master Sign Plans approved previously by the Village have ranged in scope from individual lots with acouple of sign types to large properties with many sign types. This plan is relatively simple and includessigns previously approved by variations and accommodates an additional wall sign while defining wherewall signs may be placed on the facade.
The proposed Master Sign Plan includes reasonable standards for the size and placement ofsix wall signsthat is consistent with Master Sign Plans and variations approved for similar properties. For example, theHoffman Village Shopping Center Master Sign Plan approved earlier in 2011 includes similar standards forthe size and placement of multiple wall signs at the Dominick's, which includes a large sign identifying thestore and additional smaller signs identifying the various services inside the store.
The Master Sign Plan requirements have been developed based on the signage that is unique tothe Jewel property at 1485 Palatine Road containing a Jewel grocery store, a parking lot, andlandscaped areas. The property contains approximately 8.07 acres and 65,027 square feet of totalbuilding area. This plan has been designed with signage for this development that maintainsconsistency with other similar developments, yet takes into account certain unique characteristicsof this property. These sign requirements are intended to promote cohesion among all signs.

FINDING
Section 9-1-18-1 of the Zoning Code (Standards for a Special Use) states that no special use shall berecommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission unless it finds that the Standards for Special Use setforth in the Zoning Code are met.
The petitioner outlined his proposal to use the existing vacant former Saturn car dealership rear parking lotto store new vehicles on a temporary basis. The petitioner explained that existing ingress, egress,pavement, detention, and other facilities are already in place to support vehicle storage at this location.The petitioner also stated that they would be repairing the existing fence and gate that surround theproposed storage area and performing a number ofother property maintenance repairs on the property toensure it will conform with current codes. Regarding security for the property and surroundingneighborhood, all vehicles would be contained within the fenced in area and the gate would be locked atalltimes. Based on this information, the Planning and Zoning Commission determined that the vehicle storagewill not be detrimental to orendanger the public health, safety orgeneral welfare.
Exterior lighting was also discussed. The petitioner isproposing to light the parking lot from dusk until dawnusing the existing exterior lighting for security purposes. The existing lighting design meets Village Codeand will not glare onto adjacent properties. The Commission determined that the proposed use of theexisting exterior lighting will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediatevicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within theneighborhood, since the subject property was already approved by the Village to be used as a cardealership with the associated exterior lighting.
The petitioner had no objections to the recommended conditions.

ACRES: 3.5 (APPROXIMATE) ZONING DISTRICT: B-2, COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT
The petitioner is proposing to temporarily store vehicles at the site of the former Saturn dealership at 125W. Higgins Road. Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep of Schaumburg currently has a surplus of vehicles andneeds an off-site location to store the vehicles. The site will be used strictly for storage. There will be nosales at this location and customers will not be at this location.
The vehicles will be parked in the rear of the site behind the building within a fenced in area. The storagearea will be lighted atnight for security reasons. It is the petitioner's intent to leave the site lighting on fromdusk until dawn. The existing parking lot lighting will be utilized..
SPECIAL USE - ZONING CODE SECTION 9·8·2·C·9
The subject property iszoned B-2, Community Business District. Temporary vehicle storage is not listed asa permitted orspecial use in the B-2 District, therefore this request is being considered under Section 9-82-C-9 which states "All other uses not heretofore cited in Sections 9-8-1-B (Permitted Uses in B-1), 9-8-1-C(Special Uses in B-1), and 9-8-2-B (Permitted Uses in B-2)".
Page 11
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report for Zeigler Chrysler Dodge Jeep
Meeting Date: July 6, 2011
Section 9-1-18-1 of the Zoning Code (Standards for a Special Use) states: "No special use shall berecommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission unless said Planning and Zoning Commission shallfind:
1. That the establishment, maintenance, oroperation ofthe special use will not be detrimental to orendanger the public health,safety, morals, comfort, orgeneral welfare;
2. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for thepurposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood;
3. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement ofsurrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been orare being provided;
5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize trafficcongestion in public streets; and
6. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located,except in each instance as such regulations may be modified by the Village Board pursuant to the recommendation ofthePlanning and Zoning Commission.
STAFF SUMMARY
Similar requests for temporary vehicle storage have been granted in the past in the Village, typically for 6months at a time. A special use has been required for these types oftemporary uses because vehicle storageby itself is not permitted by the Village Code. Vehicle storage is permitted if it is an accessory use to the sale ofnew orused vehicles, thus the reason Saturn was permitted vehicle storage when itwas built.
This request for vehicle storage on this property that was originally designed as a car dealership will help toensure the property remains marketable for acar dealership in the future. By allowing vehicles to be stored onthis property on atemporary basis, the building and site can still be marketed for another car dealership, whichis the best intended use for the property.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS
If the Planning &Zoning Commission finds that the standards for a special use have been met, staffrecommends the following conditions:
1. This special use shall be valid for 6 months from Village Board approval. The petitioner shall havethe ability to request an extension of the special use for no more than 12 additional months withVillage Board approval.
2. Transport vehicles shall not be permitted to park on Higgins Road to unload vehicles.
3. Vehicles may only be transported to this site between the hours of7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
4. No customers orsales activity shall be allowed at this location.

ZONING CODE SECTION(S)FOR SPECIALUSE AND VARIATION: 9-3-9-A and 9-5-3-C-4
FINDING-OF -FACT: The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) found that the Standards for a SpecialUse (9-1-18-1) and Standards for a Variation (9-1-15-C) were not met.
MOTION: Request to grant the Hoffman Estates Park District (Lessor) and T-Mobile Central LLC(Lessee) at Cannon Crossings Park (1675 Nicholson Drive), a special use under Section 9-3-9-Aand Section 9-5-3-C-4, and aforty (40)foot height variationfrom Section 9-3-9-A to permit a onehundred (100) foot high communication tower/light pole containing eight (8) cellular panelantennas in an externally mounted stealth array as shown on the petitioner's plans andassociated ground equipment to be enclosed within a new masonry equipment shelter.

RECOMMENDATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) recommends denial of this request.
Alex Novak represents T-Mobile in the areas of site acquisition, zoning and permitting. They arerequesting a special use and a variance at Cannon Crossings Park to install a 100 foot light standardtower on which will be mounted 8 panel style antennas, 6 feet in length at two different RADcenters. The pole is 100 feet with the centerline ofthe antennas at 97 feet and 90 feet, respectively.
1
The existing light fixture for the soccer field will be reinstalled on the new pole with a centerline ofapproximately 80 feet, which is where the lights are now. The existing pole is about 85 feet. Mr.Novak noted that Cricket Communications is already at Cannon Crossings Park with a similarinstallation on a pole that is 104 feet tall. Originally they thought the most logical place to gowould be next to Cricket on the next light pole over. They drew that up and proposed it to the ParkDistrict and they were okay with it. When they went through the public meeting process with thepark district they were met with resident concerns with regard to proximity to other residences.Cricket's installation is about 445 feet from the nearest house and theirs would have been a littleover 300 feet. They went back to the drawing board in December and through meetings with thePark District decided that changing the installation to a light pole adjacent to the soccer field mademore sense. There are existing light standards and they could do the same installation that theyproposed at the ball fields and it would be much farther from the residences.
Mr. Novak advised that this proposed location is about 660 feet from the nearest residence; quite abit farther than Cricket. Landscaping will be done around the shelter to further screen it and tie itinto the park feel.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
During the audience participation portion of the hearing, several residents came forward. Theseresidents live on Nicholson Drive, Pheasant Trail and Elliott Drive. The residents were unanimousin their opposition to the addition of this cellular tower to Cannon Crossings Park. Opinionsexpressed by the residents included a concern that the Park District does not listen to the residents'concerns on these proposals, the residents state that based on their experience there are notsignificant coverage problems in the area for T-Mobile calls, the additional revenue for the ParkDistrict is unnecessary, there is a concern that the antennas will decrease property values, andgenerally they didn't like the appearance of the tower. Some residents voiced concern aboutpotential health risks; however the Zoning Board Chairman indicated that this factor is notpermitted to be considered as part of the Village process. Residents also questioned the possibilityof moving the tower to a different location instead of the park, such as the Forest Preserve. Thepetitioner offered responses to some of these points. Overall the residents were opposed to theproposal.

MINORITY REPORTFOR
CANNON CROSSINGS PARKHOFFMAN ESTATES PARK DISTRICT & T-MOBILE
SPECIAL USE & HEIGHT VARIATION FOR CELL ANTENNAS AND EQUIPMENT
Submitted by Zoning Board of Appeals Vice-Chairperson Denise Wilson
This is a minority report for the request of the Hoffman Estates Park District (Lessor) and T-MobileCentral LLC (Lessee) to consider a variation and special use under the Zoning Code to permit theinstallation of cellular antennas and accompanying equipment shelter on the property located at1675 Nicholson Drive, commonly known as Cannon Crossings Park generally located at thesoutheast comer of the intersection ofMcDonough Road and Nicholson Drive.
The Zoning Board voted 5 to I to reject the request of T-Mobile to replace an existing light polewith a pole that would support their cellular antennas at the Cannon Crossing Park. Although thisreplacement would be 15 feet taller than the current light pole today, it would not limit the use ofthe park in any way. This rejection was based on opinions and emotions presented by a fewresidents but their reasons cannot support the legal rejection of allowing T-Mobile to have coveragein this area. This is a large park with many activities, large amount of parking and a large numberof people attending many events. The park currently has lights in many areas and one Cellularprovider (Cricket) has equipment setup and working. To say that this would somehow change thegreen space or disrupt this park in any way is not supported by any evidence. The few residents atthis meeting spoke with a strong conviction regarding their point of view but that percentage ofresidents was less than 1% of all Hoffman Estates residents. A few residents at the meeting werealleging health issues/risks (now and/or in the future) as reasons for not allowing the equipmentwhich legally can not be considered in a rejection of this request. Another resident's view was toraise taxes to replace the revenue this vendor would provide the Hoffman Estates Park District forleasing the placement and use of this equipment. Many were of the opinion to just move it to someother location without listening/considering the T-Mobile representative's statements that coverageis needed in this area. The vendor can not place the antennas some distance away and have thesame level of service. Arbitrarily selecting another location would involve other residents whichcould voice many of the same issues and may not provide the same greater distance from residentialhomes as this location provides which is several hundred feet and much less than other installationsin the Village such as Village water tanks on Huntington, Olmstead, Westbury and Aster. Oneresident's opinion was if one vendor's service works in the area why do we need to allow othercellular providers to set up equipment, which again could not be used as a legal reason to reject thisrequest. In these trying economic times it would seem that without good foundation to reject apositive revenue stream for Hoffman Estates it would not be in the best interest of our residents.Overall, this location, with an existing cellular provider already located there, having existing light
. poles and being of a larger sized regional park would provide the best solution for the vendor, theHE Park District and the larger majority of Hoffman Estates residents.
