 Sara Kopinski, City of Naperville Planning Services Team, provided an
 overview of the request.

 Tom Burgess, Petitioner, presented the case.

 Public Testimony:
 Commissioner Wright stated that the proposal is good for the area,
 suggested that bollards be put on the corners of building to prevent
 damage by vehicles. Mr. Burgess stated that they utilize swooshes at
 Iron Gate and will incorporate them into the design.

 Arno Peterson, nearby neighbor, raised a concern to the petitioner and
 staff regarding the stormwater retention area adjacent to the site as it is
 a natural marsh and asked how the stormwater will be controlled. Peter
 Zibble from staff stated that final engineering plans have not been
 received by staff but will undergo a full review once they are submitted.
 Mr. Zibble noted that the existing stormwater facility was designed to
 accommodate the proposed use. Mr. Peterson asked what will be done
 if the plans do not meet requirements. Mr. Zibble responded that
 modifications would be required if the plans do not meet the standards.

 Mr. Peterson asked about security at the site. Commissioner Athanikar
 stated that security is not under the purview of the Commission. Mr.
 Burgess responded that the development is a private gated community
 that is not open to the public.

 Commissioner Athanikar asked the petitioner about HOA support of the
 proposal from the existing neighboring development. Mr. Burgess stated
 that he came up with the combination of uses with the owners of Iron
 Gate Motor condos and stated that it will be a synergistic use with the
 existing development.

 Mr. Burgess shared that the stormwater detention area has a berm and
 is an existing facility.

 Commissioner McDaniel, stated that this proposed use makes sense.

 Commissioner Bansal, stated that the proposal is interesting and makes
 sense at the site.
