rezone property located at 755 Seegers Road from M-2
General Manufacturing District to R-3 Townhouse
Residential District, and request for approval of
Amendment to Planned Unit Development (approved by the
City Council on January 3, 2005 for Phase I -Ordinance
Z-54-04) to develop a Phase II of the project, which
would consist of thirty-four (34) townhouses on a 3 .21
acre site, adjacent to the existing Concord Commons
Phase I (700 Northwest Highway).
Mr. Rick Burton, representing the petitioner, Lennar
Communities of Chicago, 2300 Barrington Road, Suite 540,
Hofman Estates, IL 60195, addressed the Committee of the
Whole and answered questions from the aldermen.
Alderman Beauvais stated that the ordinance should state
that the PUD is not transferable without the consent of
the City.
Mayor Arredia stated that the conditions in the
ordinance should clearly state that the petitioner will
insert a provision in the Homeowner's Association
Declaration that the townhouse Homeowner's Association
will be responsible for all landscape maintenance and
shall pay for all parking enforcement costs.
Mr. Greg Nedohin, 4 7 N. Fifth Avenue, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the homes being
proposed are very plain; they will seriously impact the
traffic because of the entrance to the project on
Seegers Road; it is very difficult to see who is coming
down the street now with the fences from R. G. Smith
Company; he is concerned about the lack of green space
in the project; where is all the water going to go -has
this been fully considered; he is also concerned about
the impact on the schools and his property value; he
thinks the area will look like a slum.
Mrs. Barbara Van Slambrouck, 286 Stratford Road,
addressed the Committee of the Whole asking if she heard
correctly that the EPA rating was only slightly above
the allowed level. Mr. Burton said that is not the
case; we have been meeting the EPA requirements since
January of 2006; there was some contamination, but it is
now air-borne.
Mrs. Van Slambrouck also stated that the City should do
another traffic study to make sure the first one is
still valid.
Alderman Brookman agreed stating that the City should do
another study before this ordinance is approved.
Director of Engineering Oakley stated that the traffic
study was done based on the addition of these thirty-
four new townhouses; it is valid.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Argus, to concur with
recommendation of Des Plaines Plan Commission and Staff,
and recommend to the City Council, re Zoning Case 06-03-
A-PUD, to grant request for Map Amendment to rezone
property located at 755 Seegers Road from M-2 General
Manufacturing District to R-3 Townhouse Residential
