B. ROLL CALL:
 Present 7- Brett Fessler, Carrie Hansen, Bruce Hanson, Anthony Losurdo, Andrew Margulies,
 Chairperson Kamala Martinez, and Robert Williams
 Absent 2- Krishna Bansal, and Vice Chair Sean Hastings


C. PUBLIC FORUM:

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Conduct the public hearing for Metro West (PZC 17-1-092) located at 1911 Continental
 Avenue, to consider a major change to the PUD for approval of a Final PUD and a lot
 area deviation.
 Kasey Evans, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.

 Greg Collins, with M/I Homes, spoke on behalf of the petitioner.
 The PZC inquired about the lot area variance request. Collins responded that
 the request is due to both design and economics. The Commission inquired as
 to staff's support for the project. Evans responded that the underlying zoning is
 R3 and that the use (attached single-family residential) is permitted in the R3
 district. The PUD was intended to be a mixed use, transit oriented
 development. Staff believes the use is compatible with the PUD and the lot area
 reduction is minor in nature. PZC inquired about the building materials. Collins
 responded that M/I Homes works with several different brick manufacturers and
 will acid wash the brick to prevent staining.

 Public Testimony: None

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 The Planning and Zoning Commission supported the request, finding the project
 to be a good use for the vacant land.


 A motion was made by Fessler and seconded by B. Hanson to adopt the findings
 of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 17-1-092, a major change
 to the PUD for approval of a Final PUD and a lot area deviation at 1911
 Continental Avenue, Naperville.

2. Conduct the public hearing regarding 1821 Appaloosa Drive (PZC 17-1-095), to
 consider a deviation to allow a patio to encroach into the front yard setback.
 Kasey Evans, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.
 The PZC inquired about the patio timeline and the easement encroachment
 agreement. Evans responded that the petitioner visited the City prior to
 installing the patio and staff explained the Code requirements. If the patio is
 approved, the next step will be an easement encroachment agreement.

 Vic Amaro, spoke as the interpreter for Hany Tadorus and Marine Hana the
 petitioners.
 The PZC inquired about other patios in the subdivision. Evans responded that
 any other patio encroachments are unrelated. The case is before the PZC
 tonight because Code Enforcement received a complaint; the decision tonight
 has no bearing on any other encroaching patios. PZC inquired about the
 recommendations received from the HOA. The petitioner stated he was told to
 hold off on implementing those recommendations until the code complaint was
 rectified.

 Public Testimony: Joyce Hasse is the treasurer of the HOA and would like the
 HOA letter to be seriously considered by the PZC. PZC inquired about the HOA
 regulations in terms of patios, as well as the other non-compliant patios. Hasse
 responded that the HOA has no size limitations on patios; she was not aware
 that other patios were non-compliant.

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 Commissioners C. Hansen, Fessler, Margulies, Martinez, and Williams did not
 support the request, finding that the intent of the front yard setback is to
 preserve the front yard for safety and aesthetics.

 Commissioners B. Hanson and Losurdo supported the request, finding that
 other non-compliant patios exist. The Commissioners also recommended the
 petitioner comply with the HOA recommendations for the patio.


 A motion was made by C. Hansen and seconded by Fessler to adopt the findings
 of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 17-1-095, a deviation to
 allow a patio to encroach into the front yard setback at 1821 Appaloosa Drive,
 Naperville.

 Aye: 3- Hanson, Losurdo, and Chairperson Martinez

 Nay: 4- Fessler, Hansen, Margulies, and Williams

1. Uphold the Zoning Administrator’s decision with respect to the Downtown Design
 Standards (2011) for the subject property located at 22-26 W. Jefferson Avenue (Denim
 & Soul) - PZC 17-1-105.
 Erin Venard, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.
 The PZC inquired about the Downtown Design Standards. Venard responded
 that painting masonry is not permitted due to maintenance concerns.

 Rob Sawchuk, on behalf of Denim & Soul, spoke as the petitioner.
 The PZC asked for additional detail regarding the request to paint the building.
 The petitioner responded that the paint will make the building stand out, will be
 good for business, and is part of the Denim & Soul Brand. The PZC inquired as
 to other methods to make the build stand out. The petitioner responded that
 awnings would not work for the building because of the recessed entryway.

 The Planning and Zoning Commission did not support the request because the
 proposal is not compatible with the Downtown Design Standards.
 Commissioner B. Hanson cast the dissenting vote, finding that branding is
 important for consistency for retail business owners.


 A motion was made by C. Hansen and seconded by Fessler to uphold the Zoning
 Administrator’s decision with respect to the Downtown Design Standards (2011) to
 not permit the petitioner to paint the building at 22-26 W. Jefferson, Naperville.
