Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved site entitlements, map amendment and sign variances for a standalone drive'through (Dunkin') at W. 151st Street and S. Bell Road, adopting plan commission recommendations and adding conditions including changes to the trash enclosure design and landscaping.
The Village of Homer Glen Board approved a suite of land'use actions for a commercial project at the northwest corner of W. 151st Street and S. Bell Road (case HG2-159), including a preliminary plat, map amendment from A1 to C2, a special use permit for a drive'through, site improvement plans and multiple variances tied to building materials and sign locations.
Trustees incorporated plan commission conditions into the motion, notably a reduction in the trash enclosure height from 7.5 feet to 6 feet and adjustments reflected in the revised landscape plan. A plan commission representative reported a 5-0 recommendation in favor of approval with conditions; trustees moved, amended to include the conditions and approved the motion on roll call.
Trustee Holzhauser described the application as "an upgrade" and a "very clean project" that preserved stormwater and landscaping elements; trustees praised efforts to preserve the rain garden and to limit visual impacts.
Following approval of the site entitlements, the board then considered and approved the related sign variances for monument and wall signage needed for the standalone drive'through. Trustees made the approvals with the documented conditions and directed staff to process final permits and site plan documentation.
Next steps: staff will finalize the final plat and site plan documents and return any outstanding administrative items to the board for final action within the 90'day period specified in the packet.
