 be constructed in its place.

 Joanne Dybas, principal of the neighboring DuPage Montessori school,
 expressed concerns with traffic regarding the proposal.

 William Scotti provided comments expressing concerns with development
 in the area and asked how he could view a copy of the City’s master plan.

 Chris Stowick expressed concerns with the proposal regarding stormwater
 and setbacks.

 Chair Van Someren asked Kopinski about the proposed OCI zoning and
 asked to confirm where master plan could be found. Kopinski stated that
 the OCI district was chosen as it is intended as a buffer between
 residential uses and more intensive uses. Kopinski stated that the City’s
 master plan is available on the City’s website.

 Commissioner Robbins stated that the project seems well thought out and
 is in line with the master plan. Commissioner Robbins asked the petitioner
 about stormwater concerns, the location of a school bus stop, park space,
 and the possibility or moving several buildings to the south.

 Csuk stated that the project is designed to be in compliance with the
 DuPage County stormwater approval process. Csuk also stated that they
 have been in contact with the school district and confirmed that the district
 does not have concerns with the development and will be able to provide
 bus access to the development. Csuk stated that the Naperville Park
 District requested a cash donation rather than a land donation for park
 space. Csuk confirmed that they have not looked into the possibility of
 moving any buildings.

 Commissioner Wright asked the petitioner to confirm that the traffic study
 suggests that traffic volume would decrease with the proposal from the
 current use. Csuk confirmed that the proposed townhomes would
 significantly improve traffic conditions compared to the existing office
 building.

 Chair Van Someren stated that the DuPage County stormwater process is
 thorough and that the petitioners hire professional engineers to design the
 stormwater systems to meet all requirements.

 Commissioner Wright thanked the neighbors for sharing their concerns and
 thanked the petitioner for the effort put into the design and requested that

 the petitioner continue to work with the neighbors to address any concerns.

 voiced her support for the proposal.

 Chair Van Someren stated that she appreciated the landscaping being
 provided and encouraged the petitioner to incorporate a year round
 landscaping buffer between it and the neighboring properties.

 The PZC closed the public hearing.

 adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC
