 Anna Franco, City of Naperville Planning Services Team, provided an
 overview of the request.

 Matt Taylor, Petitioner, presented the case.

 Mark Daniel, Attorney for Petitioner, provided additional information on the
 case.

 Andrew Bowman, Engineer for Petitioner provided additional information
 on the case.

 Public Testimony:
 Sara Hendren provided comments on the case expressing concerns with
 the request regarding traffic and stormwater.

 Rachit Marwaha provided comments on the case expressing concerns with
 the request regarding property values and views as well as stormwater.

 Commissioner King thanked the speakers and asked the petitioner to
 discuss stormwater on the property. Matt Whistler, Engineer for Petitioner,
 stated that the stormwater would be held on site in an underground
 detention system and released at a constrained rate following City and
 County regulations.

 Chair Van Someren asked Whistler to confirm the direction that the water
 flows on the property and if stormwater will be collected in catch basins.
 Whistler confirmed that the water flows to the north/north west and will be
 collected in catch basins and then stored underground and released at a
 constrained rate.

 Commissioner Wright stated that he was undecided on the request and
 noted that the Commission was only considering the requested variances
 for parking and screening. Commissioner Wright asked the petitioner to
 confirm how they calculated the potential traffic impacts. Bowman
 described the potential routes that traffic may take to the site.
 Commissioner Wright stated concerns regarding the amount of potential
 traffic on Oxford Ln.

 Commissioner Castagnoli asked the petitioner about the proposed fencing
 and storm water concerns. Commissioner Castagnoli asked the petitioner
City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 2/20/2025
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes February 5, 2025

 to confirm if adding the additional 10 required parking spaces would
 increase the amount of stormwater runoff. Whistler confirmed that the
 amount of stormwater runoff would increase with the additional impervious
 area associated with the 10 additional parking spaces.

 Meghan Flannery provided comments raising concerns about traffic and
 safety on Oxford Ln.

 Commissioner Robbins asked the petitioner if there was a neighborhood
 meeting held. Daniel confirmed that there was not a neighborhood meeting
 held.

 Commissioner King stated that the neighbor’s concerns are valid and
 stated that the property will continue to be zoned for potential commercial
 uses so the petitioner and the neighbors should come together to discuss
 ways to address concerns and come to an agreement as a different
 developer could come in the future with a more intensive proposal.

 Chair Van Someren stated that the property is zoned OCI and has been
 zoned OCI for many years and agreed with the petitioner that a daycare is
 low-impact use on the property. Chair Van Someren asked staff what the
 maximum building height in the OCI district is. Franco stated that she would
 confer with the code and confirm. Daniel stated he believed the maximum
 height is forty feet. Chair Van Someren stated that the potential exists for a
 four story medical office building to be built on the site by right if no
 variances were being sought and the neighbors would not have the
 opportunity to provide comments on the case. Chair Van Someren stated
 that she does not feel that the proposed landscaping on the site is sufficient
 and recommended that the petitioner provide additional non-deciduous
 plantings. Chair Van Someren stated that civil engineering has come a
 long way and that she lives close to this site and when new developments
 were built in her neighborhood her stormwater problems went away due to
 the new engineering implementations.
 Chair Van Someren asked staff if Oxford Ln was a City street or a County
 street. Galanis from staff stated that there were portions of each. Chair Van
 Someren stated that the concerns about safety on Oxford Ln and the lack of
 sidewalks are things that the Commission cannot address as it is not within
 their purview.
 Chair Van Someren stated that the plans submitted call out a chain link
 fence, Whistler stated that the chain link fence is between the playgrounds
 and a solid fence is proposed at the property line.

 Daniel provided closing remarks.

 Franco clarified that the plans that staff reviewed do not show a solid fence
 along the rear property line. Whistler confirmed that it is noted as a vinyl
 clad chain link fence, and is not a solid fence, however it could be replaced
 by a solid fence easily. Chair Van Someren asked if the petitioner would
 be agreeable to installing a solid fence along the north property line and
 increase the landscape buffer. Daniel stated that they were.

 Franco stated that the commission could refer to the conditions discussed
 in the meeting as an addition to their motion of approval.

 The PZC closed the public hearing.


 Commissioner Robbins made a motion Seconded by Commissioner Richelia to
 adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC
 24-1-099, a variance to Municipal Code Section 6-9-3:6 to decrease the number of
 required minimum off-street parking spaces for a day care center from 54 spaces
 to 44 spaces and a landscape variance to Municipal Code Section 5-10-3:5.2.4.1 to
 provide relief from the requirement to install a 6-foot fence or wall along the
 eastern perimeter of the parking lot, subject to the recommended condition of
 approval and the additional conditions discussed at the meeting, for a new day
 care center located at 471 E 75th Street.
