Planning staff described the request as an R-4 rezoning that would permit higher-density housing than the default R-1 zoning applied upon annexation; an attached concept plan showed 56 duplex units with public streets and two access points, one of which would be emergency-only. Staff indicated it supports R-4 zoning, but several commissioners raised design and connectivity concerns.

Multiple commissioners said the parcel's proposed density and the placement of access points—especially a curb cut near an existing or future roundabout—created circulation and safety concerns, and that the plan appeared to be a piecemeal proposal without coordination with surrounding farmland and future road connections. \"I think the best use for this property is for it to eventually be seen as more valuable to the rest of this farm and then have a master concept come back with a better design,\" one commissioner said. That commissioner said they planned to vote against the rezoning because they viewed it as premature and effectively spot zoning.

Public commenters told the commission they were worried about traffic, school capacity and water infrastructure. A nearby resident, Hori Alvarez of 210 Julep Ave., said: \"My concerns are...the roads...I would have privacy concerns...the aesthetics on that road are already starting to change.\" Another commenter raised concerns about the timing of infrastructure projects and grant funding for water connections and the roundabout.

At roll call, the commission voted 0–9 to recommend denial of rezoning upon annexation. Commissioners and staff reminded the public that annexation and any detailed PUD or site-plan applications would require additional hearings and notifications to neighbors. The developer may revise and refile or bring a different concept forward for future consideration.","The commission voted down a request to rezone roughly 9.6 acres from county agricultural to R-4 General Residence upon annexation.

Planning staff described four amendment requests: retroactive permission for four parking spaces perpendicular to Orchard Road; permission for larger wall signage due to building scale; permission for signage on the southern facade (which staff said would be allowed under the UDO in the present interpretation); and a request to permit cabinet signs instead of channel-letter signs. Staff recommended approval of the parking and signage-location requests but opposed the cabinet-sign option and conditioned approval on installation of landscaping consistent with the original PUD.

Petitioner representatives said the cabinet sign was part of a new national branding scheme; after discussion the applicant submitted a compromise that uses individual channel letters mounted on a backer panel. The applicant said the alternative preserves the brand while complying with the PUD standard for channel-letter wall signs. \"It is a new national branding standard that they have implemented and so this was going to be the first location that I'm aware of that they were gonna use it,\" the applicant said, then presented the channel-letter–on–backer-panel option.

Commissioners accepted the applicant’s compromise and added conditions requiring landscaping be installed and inspected before any sign permits are issued, that two parking spaces be 18 by 9 feet with a 24-foot drive aisle, and that any wall signage be individual channel letters consistent with the remainder of the Orchard Woods development. Staff recommended denial only of the cabinet-sign portion; the final recommendation to the village board reflects staff’s and the commission’s conditions.

The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the village board for final action; staff said sign permits and site inspections will follow if the board approves the amendment.","The commission recommended approval of a major PUD amendment for Suburban Tire at 3412 Orchard Road to retroactively permit parking, allow additional wall signage, and require channel-letter wall signs rather than cabinet signs; landscaping must be installed before sign permits are issued.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":78,"_43":99,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":101,"_51":102,"_53":103,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":104,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":105,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562907,"Commission backs special-use permit and variances for Stonehill outdoor storage with 6 a.m.–10 p.m. hours",1385000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3241127-f5131582d8426c45814400953e88b06b&start=1385&end=1385","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3241127-f5131582d8426c45814400953e88b06b/thumbnail_1385000.jpg","/articles/6562907/Oswego/Kendall-County/Illinois/Commission-backs-special-use-permit-and-variances-for-Stonehill-outdoor-storage-with-6-am10-pm-hours","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562907-c88091f1fa0d2ad521f6c8917aa1f49f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775016825&Signature=S-1E9TpYtubOX98FmSK48Pw5Q-gBsB13WHx83xTa9IQRoGJdTQcW~cmsy3s0rrpMy8IvrlpWb~7l~ujMVx2JgYO-Z6NyhLvpEXHHdFf8gWrpJIBi82spq46XQ1Ud1QkD3EPiqeaTZJ8GrkRWPBcV0YfxWGvJVgjkNLQ1wmp~cCOaFvZsQIivULRz4p0eVOY2uxsJF4UbKbe5NL0J2Di6Z6Mm1vsP4PCIhL2HcVP7TdNKT8AG5MacLtfWgfQlYU6Sty0zRmDjWE~1qQW86icy4HbUx3hgy~gHcTHh8Vkq6OofCtl1gehsI1vmfzIYo1BNmSIkghArqqiA1bIzzyEeRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a special-use permit and two variances to allow a gated outdoor storage and vehicle-parking facility at 76 Stonehill Road in the Stonehill Business Park.

Applicant Riverfront Plaza LLC sought (1) a special-use permit for an outdoor storage area in an M-1 General Manufacturing District, (2) a variance to reduce the minimum interior side-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet, and (3) a variance to allow buffer yard landscaping on the interior side of a rear-yard fence. Staff recommended approval of all three requests.

Carrie Hansen of Shope Design Associates, representing Riverfront Plaza LLC, described a paved, fenced parking area with 59 spaces configured to accommodate passenger vehicles, contractor vans and longer stalls for RVs and boat/trailer combos. \"There will be no semi truck parking in this parking lot,\" Hansen said. The petitioner also proposed key-fob–controlled gates for security and additional landscaping inside the fence to supplement screening.

Commissioners pressed the applicant on operating hours and materials storage. Pat Stanton for Riverfront Plaza said hours had not been set but that restricted access during normal business hours was acceptable. After discussion the commission added a condition limiting operation to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.; the motion recommending approval included that hours-of-operation condition.

The applicant committed to paving the lot to minimize dust and to restrict the types of material allowed in any outdoor storage area, and to coordinate with adjacent property owners on fence placement and maintenance. Staff noted the village's UDO regulates outdoor material storage through location, height and screening requirements, and that materials that create dust would not be permitted without containment measures.

The commission voted by roll call to accept the findings of fact and recommend approval of the special use permit and the two variances with the hours condition and required landscaping.","The commission recommended approval of a special-use permit and two variances for a gated outdoor storage and parking facility at 76 Stonehill Road.

Planning staff said the proposals—filed as Prairie Market East (project 1252.25) and Prairie Market Subdivision (project 1256.25)—would split existing commercial parcels into separate lots without changing current uses or approving any new buildings. \"The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary and final plat to divide the existing commercial parcel into 4 separate parcels,\" staff said, adding that the applicant is not proposing any physical changes to the site at this time.

Nearby homeowners used the public hearing to press officials about existing noise from deliveries at the Aldi store on the site. Jan Conway of 719 Bohannon Circle told the commission, \"My concern is the noise level at Aldi's already and anything proposed for that site is greatly troubling to the residents on Bohannon Circle and in the Steeplechase area. ... I talked to someone at the city and they were kind enough to request that Aldi put a buffer on that, but the noise level is extremely troubling to us.\"

A staff member responded that \"there is a noise ordinance, and if there's a noise issue, please contact the police department and they can go out and they can measure it and they can contact the store to address any noise complaints.\" The staff member and other commissioners emphasized that the subdivision request before the commission only changes lot lines; any future development proposals for the remaining vacant lot would be evaluated separately.

Residents asked whether construction already had been approved and whether future development would require another public hearing; staff said parts of the project were approved previously as part of the original PUD and final plat, and that if a future use is consistent with those approvals it may not trigger another public hearing. \"If it's consistent with what was already approved, then they can go forward with building it,\" a staff member said.

The applicant’s representative, Jason Rebert of PMAT Prairie Market LLC, told the commission the subdivision allows for separate ownership of buildings and better tax assessment. \"It does allow some of these parcels to be sold off... It does help us to better assess real estate taxes for the individual buildings,\" Rebert said.

Commissioners voted by roll call to recommend approval of both the Prairie Market East preliminary and final plat and the Prairie Market Subdivision preliminary and final plat.

Neighbors were directed to village staff and the police department for follow-up on noise and screening; staff said property-owner contact information and project details are available through village offices and an online project page. The commission noted that nothing in the current vote authorizes additional land use changes beyond the lot divisions staff recommended for approval.","The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of preliminary and final plats to split existing commercial parcels at Prairie Market into separate lots. Neighbors raised late-night delivery noise and screening concerns; staff said the action only divides property lines and that noise complaints should be reported to police.","actionData","errors"]
