 Public Testimony:

 Karen Courney is the co-chair of the Senior Task Force and is a
 co-founder of Ride Assist Naperville. Naperville has a shortage of
 reasonably priced senior living facilities and Avenida will fill that gap.
 Ms. Courney is in support of the project.

 Justin Philpott is the President of Century Farms Homeowners
 Association. Mr. Philpott raised concern that the petitioner is requesting
 variances while Harbor Chase was able to comply with the City’s zoning
 Code. The PZC discussed the variance criteria and noted that each
 case is considered on its own merit.

 Jason Xi is the Vice President of Century Farm HOA and voiced concern
 about the parking variance. Mr. Xi stated that the proposed project will
 generate additional traffic on Commons Street.

 Jason Copeland lives in Century Farms directly adjacent to the project
 and is in support of the development. Mr. Copeland finds this is a
 unique proposal that meets the standards for a variance.

 Brendon McLaughlin is the president of the Cress Creek HOA. Cress
 Creek is concerned with stormwater but is confident that the City will
 handle any issues the project many generate. Other concerns have
 been addressed with the plan revisions.

 Tim Ells is the President of the Board of Ride Assist Naperville. Mr. Ells
 stated that there is a growing need for senior housing and that he is in
 support of the proposal.

 Ken Bochenski is on the board of the Cress Creek Townhomes HOA
City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 8/3/2017
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2017

 and believes approval of this project will set a precedent for future
 development. Mr. Bochenski does not think the variances should be
 approved.

 Dale Bryson is a resident of Cress Creek and has concerns with sewage
 backup in basements of Cress Creek homes. The project will create
 more issues with basement backups.

 The Planning and Zoning Commission took a 5 minute recess.

 Dick Furstenau is a resident of Creekside and stated that the PZC
 should reject the request for a conditional use in the OCI district
 because the OCI district is not meant for apartments. Mr. Furstenau
 noted that the proposal is under parked.

 Carl Christensen is a resident of Cress Creek and is opposed to the
 project. The proposal does not fit the site and is only planned for the
 sole purpose of generating revenue.

 Donald Yang is a resident of Century Farm and stated that the resident
 petition spoke to the overwhelming opposition of the proposal from
 Century Farm residents.

 Carl Skrabacz is a member of the Naperville Senior Task Force and is in
 support of the project. The project would provide Naperville seniors an
 affordable and accessible place to live.

 Petitioner responded to testimony.

 Commissioners Bansal, C. Hansen, B. Hanson, Hastings, Losurdo,
 Martinez, and Margulies were in support of the project, finding that the
 petitioner worked with residents, staff, and the PZC on appropriate plan
 revisions. The Commissioners found the project to be a unique project
 that merited variance from the City’s codes.

 Commissioners Fessler and Williams did not support the project.
 Commissioner Fessler expressed concerns with the parking variance,
 finding that there was no hardship. Commissioner Williams stated that
 the OCI district was not appropriate and also had concerns with the
 proposed variances, finding a lack of hardship.
 The PZC closed the public hearing.
