 restaurant use.

 Public Testimony:

 James Caray is a resident of Aero Estates. He is concerned with traffic and the
 future plans for the church. Mr. Caray stated that Aero Estates is a very special
 place; development will destroy the community.

 Christine Greenstreet lives on Aero Drive and voiced concern with traffic on
 Aero Drive, safety, and the abundance of vacant retail space on Route 59. Ms.
 Greenstreet stated that the City and residents need to come together to plan for
 the area.

 Joseph Battoe stated the subject property is not within the City of Naperville and
 does not have to be annexed. He voiced concern regarding traffic on Aero Drive
 and retail vacancies.

 Suzette Selig is a long time resident of Naper Aero. Ms. Selig presented a
 notarized petition of residents opposed to PZC 17-1-093 and PZC 17-1-094.
 Ms. Selig suggested the homes be converted to businesses similar to those
 located on Washington Street.

 Laura Wisnow lives on Aero Drive and has invested her life savings in
 remodeling her home. This proposal will be financially devastating to her; she
 will be left will no option but to sell her home.

 George Johnson wishes to speak about security; residents have no one to
 enforce the speed limit on Aero Drive.

 Dave Read lives at the southeast corner of the subject property; feels there are
 really two communities in Aero Estates (the airport community and the west
 side of Aero Drive). The Comprehensive Plan references this area as medium
 density residential; Naperville should have a better plan for this area.

 Gary Grant lives in the unique residential community of Aero Estates and is
 opposed to the request. His quality of life is in jeopardy and the petitioner should
 have to demonstrate the need for the project.

 Doug Engel lives in Aero Estates and is concerned with the impact of the
 project because this is piecemeal development. Mr. Engel voiced concern
 about drainage and flooding.

 Stuart Glenn bought his property about 14 years ago and lives directly across
 the street from the church. Mr. Glenn raised concern with drainage and
 flooding.

 of a loading dock, the drive-through bypass lane, and the sidewalks.

 Erica Selig stated that her father built one of the first homes in Aero Estates and
 the proposed plan will completely destroy the community.

 could not be used as it was zoned. Ms. Baer feels the property can be used as
 principal arterial in the County (similar to home to office).

 purchase was made in anticipation of the zoning being granted; it is not the right
 use at the right time.

 will destroy the feeling of home.

 plan for the area.

 eroding. Mr. Subsics stated that the project is about Naperville and Naperville
 making money.

 Venard responded that cross access is platted to the north, south, and east.
 The connection to the church will be made upon redevelopment of the property.

 proposed stormwater/drainage meets all requirements. Carrara stated that the

 proposed to accommodate all City requirements.

 79th Street (World Missions Society Church of God) to B2 (Community Shopping Center
 District) upon annexation - PZC 17-1-094 (Item 1 of 4).
 Erin Venard, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.

 Kevin M. Carrara, Attorney with Rathje & Woodward, spoke on behalf of the
 petitioner.

 Public Testimony:

 Suzette Selig has lived on Aero Drive for 50 years and requested that property
 on Aero Drive is not rezoned to commercial.

 Roberta Priz received a letter from the Attorney regarding the hearing; however,
 she noted that the sign should have been placed on 79th Street.

 Dave Read stated that Aero Drive is a major traffic cut through.

 Tom Priz voiced concern regarding traffic on Aero Drive.

 Fred Foss is a resident on Aero Drive and is against rezoning the lots fronting
 Aero Drive.

 James Caray stated that the proposal is a land grab. Mr. Caray stated that the
 Church is in close proximity to the approach end of the runway; any future
 buildings might infringe on the runway.

 Mike Pastore stated the proposal is a shell game; he questioned as to why it is
 necessary to rezone the property if it is staying a church.

 Dennis Lindal is the attorney for the church and stated that B2 is consistent with
 the trend of the development on Route 59. Mr. Lindal noted that the church
 wants the flexibility of B2 zoning because it the church may redevelop in the
 future.

 Brett Subsics lives on Aero Drive and is opposed to the rezoning. He
 recommended the developer buy out all the homeowners on Aero Drive.

 Erica Selig stated that the church was not developed when her parents built a
 home in Aero Estates. Ms. Selig stated the PZC should not give deference to
 the project over her home; the project is not equal to Aero Estates.

 Stuart Glenn live across from the church; he conceded that commercial is what
 everyone wants. Mr. Glenn suggested that Aero Drive end in a cul-de-sac.

 Elaine Foss lives across the street from church and inquired if the east and the
 west sides of the church property can be zoned differently.

 Christine Greenstreet stated she believes in good neighbors; the church and
 developer have not been good neighbors.

 The petitioner responded to the public testimony.

Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes December 6, 2017



 PZC closed the public hearing.

 The Planning and Zoning Commission raised concern regarding the potential
 future development of the church property and suggested the annexation
 agreement contain a provision requiring any future development on the subject
 property be required to be reviewed by the PZC and CC prior to approval. The
 PZC found that the property met the standards for rezoning and supported the
 request.

 Commissioner Hastings cast the dissenting vote, stating that he was
 uncomfortable voting for the rezoning when the future plans for the subject
 property were unknown.




 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 17-1-094, rezoning the
 subject property located at 29W771 to B2 (Community Shopping Center District)
