 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.

 Eric Nuebling, WT Group, spoke on behalf of the petitioner.

 Public Testimony: None

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 PZC supported the setback variance requesting, finding the IDOT taking to be a
 sufficient hardship. PZC did not support the request for a height variance,
 finding the height requirement should be applied consistently across the corridor
 and no hardship existed.
 A motion was made by Losurdo, seconded by Morin to adopt the findings of fact
 as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 18-1-010, a variance to Section
 6-16-5:2.2.5.1 in order to construct a sign that is setback 2’ from Route 59 at the
 subject property located at 631 N. Route 59, Naperville.

2. Conduct the public hearing to consider a variance from Section 6-2-10:5 to allow for
 construction of a parking pad at the subject property located at 626 S. Webster Street,
 Naperville - PZC 18-1-061
 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, gave an overview of the request.

 Brad Drendel, Brad Drendel Builders, spoke on behalf of the petitioner.
 The PZC inquired about the use of the proposed pad. Drendel responded that
 the pad will be used as a play area for the children. The PZC also inquired
 about the existing garage space at the home. Drendel responded that the home
 has a two car attached garage and a three car detached garage. The driveway
 can accommodate two vehicles as well.

 Public Testimony: None

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 Commissioners Bansal, Losurdo, and Margulies found the proposed pad would
 not change the character of the neighborhood and supported the request.

 Vice Chair Hansen and Commissioners Athanikar and Morin did not support the
 variance request. The Commissioners found ample parking existed on the
 property and no hardship existed.
 A motion was made by Losurdo, seconded by Morin to adopt the findings of fact
 as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 18-1-061, a variance from Section
 6-2-10:5 to allow for the construction of a parking pad at the subject property
 located at 626 S. Webster Street, Naperville.

 Caitlin Paloian, attorney with Rosanova and Whitaker, spoke on behalf of the
 petitioner.
 The PZC inquired about the proposed sign and other existing signage on the
 property. Paloian responded that there is an existing ground sign on the
 property; however, it has limited visibility. The proposed wall sign will maintain
 visibility in the event that the adjacent vacant lot develops. PZC also inquired
 about similarly classified signs. Kopinski responded that the subject property is
 unique because it was previously zoned commercial and is surrounded by
 commercial properties that were intended to front 59.

 Public Testimony: None

 PZC closed the public hearing.

 Vice Chair Hansen, Commissioners Athanikar, Losurdo, Morin and Margulies
 supported the request due to the property's large setback from Route 59.

 Commissioner Bansal did not support the variance request finding it would have
 been more appropriate to improve the existing site signage.



 A motion was made by Losurdo, seconded by Morin to adopt the findings of fact
 as presented by the petitioner and approve PZC 18-1-063, a variance to Section
 6-16-4:2 to permit a permanent wall sign to be installed on a residential property
 at the subject property located at 2920 Leverenz Road, Naperville.

 Aye: 5- Athanikar, Vice Chair Hansen, Losurdo, Margulies, and Morin

 Nay: 1- Bansal

 Absent: 3- Fessler, Hanson, and Chairperson Martinez
