Summary
At a June 10 meeting in Wheeling, officials approved minor site plan PSPMIN24-0014 to reconfigure and expand the rear parking lot at 300 Marquardt Drive, add a 6-foot perimeter fence to allow outdoor storage, install a trash enclosure and bicycle racks, and require lot consolidation and financial surety.
At a June 10 meeting in Wheeling, commissioners approved minor site plan PSPMIN24-0014, allowing the expansion and reconfiguration of the rear parking lot and installation of outdoor storage fencing at 300 Marquardt Drive.
Staff said the proposal includes restriping the existing lot to create a one-way entrance and exit, adding bicycle racks by the front door and west side, constructing a trash enclosure on the building's north side, trimming trees and adding landscaping, and installing a 6-foot perimeter fence to enable outdoor storage. Tomasz Zabicki, who identified his business address as 300 Marquardt Drive, told the body the intent is to expand parking and contain storage behind the building.
Before permits are issued, staff read four conditions into the record: obtain Wheeling permits for any site improvements including paving, parking modifications, landscaping, trash enclosure and fencing; orient the finished side of the perimeter fence toward adjacent properties; submit a financial surety for landscape materials and installation based on an estimate prepared by A&N Outdoor Services LLC dated March 28, 2026; and submit the final plat of consolidation for Wheeling Office Center prepared by IG Consulting Inc. to the Village Board for review and recording.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about parcel consolidation and how the consolidation affects permitting. Staff and the applicant said multiple parcel identification numbers had been consolidated to a single PIN and that the recorded plat must be completed and taken to the Village Board before permanent permits will be issued.
A motion to approve the minor site plan was moved and seconded and carried by recorded voice votes in which the present commissioners voted in the affirmative. After the vote staff advised the applicant to resubmit revised permit plans reflecting the approved changes and to pursue final plat recording with the Village Board before permanent permits are issued.
Also on the agenda, the body approved minutes from the May 13, 2026 meeting, including findings of fact for multiple dockets. During the public comment period a resident asked for the name of the developer for Prairie Park Highlands; staff directed the resident to contact the community development department and provided a phone number (847-459-2620).
The meeting adjourned following the minutes vote.
