Regulation of taxi service in the Village began in 1982 with the
licensing of American Taxi as the sole taxi company authorized to
originate trips in the Villagc. There was established at that time a
!imitation on the number of licensed cabs, which was increased
several times over the years in response to requests from the company
and support from hotels in the Village..
In 1996, the Village revamped it-, approach to taxi regulation. The
�)
new ordinance provided for licensing of taxi companies and taxi
drivers without limit as to number. The company licensing process
involves registration of vehicles to be operated in the Village, which
provides the means of inspecting and qualifying the cabs themseliNes.

Regulation of taxi service in the Village began in 1982 with the
licensing of American Taxi as the sole taxi company authorized to
originate trips in the Village. There was established at that time a
limitation on the number of licensed cabs, which was increased
several times over the years in response to requests from the company
and support from hotels in the Village.
In 1996, the Village revamped its approach to taxi regulation. The
new ordinance provided for licensing of taxi companies and taxi
drivers without limit as to number. The company licensing process
involves registration of vehicles to be operated in the Village, which
provides the means of inspecting and qualifying the cabs themselves.

ROCCA
Trustee Savino commented that the property needs to be cleaned.
Village Manager Veitch indicated that would occur, as the property is
purchased.
Trustee Savino recused himself due to the business relationship he has had with Rocca
jewelers and left the dais at 9:55 p.m.
The Village Board, in October 1998, approved a set of five (5)
ordinances that enabled the redevelopment of the old gas station
property at 3824 York Road.
In four(4) of these ordinances, a condition was imposed requiring that
Mr. Rocca take title to the property no later than January 31, 1999
with a stipulation that a time extension may be approved upon a
showing of necessity.
The Ordinances are:
S-914 Approving the development Plan and Authorizing
Issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness
S-915 Granting of a Special Use for a Drive-in Banking Facility
S-916 Granting a Flood Plain Special Use
S-917 Granting Variations
The Village has received a request from John Romanelli, agent for
Mr. Rocca, seeking a time extension. The reason given for the delay
is the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's consideration to

acquire the property, which was terminated on March 2, 1999. Mr.
Romanelli estimates that the closing should be accomplished within
about ninety (90) days. To allow for contingencies, an extension of
six (6) months should be adequate.
Motion by Trustee McInerney, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to grant
the requested time extension and direct the Village Attorney to draft
the necessary ordinance for action at the Regular meeting of April 27,
1999. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried with Trustee Savino absent.
Trustee Savino returned to the dais at 9:57 p.m.

Regulation of taxi service in the Village began in 1982 with the
licensing of American Taxi as the sole taxi company authorized to
originate trips in the Village. There was established at that time a
limitation on the number of licensed cabs, which was increased
several times over the years in response to requests from the company
and support from the hotels.
In 1996, the Village revamped its approach to taxi regulation. The
new ordinance authorized taxi company licenses and taxi driver
licenses (there had been no licensing requirement for drivers or
investigation of driver backgrounds under the prior ordinance)
without limit as to number. The company licensing process involves
registration of vehicles to be operated in the Village, which provides
the means of inspecting and qualifying the cabs themselves. The
Village elected to retain an aggregate limit on the number of cabs that
could be registered. That limit has since been raised two more times
as additional taxi companies have become licensed.
The first such additional company was AAA Universal, which
obtained its first company license in 1997. Very recently, 303
Transportation has obtained a company license. Now a fourth
company, Courtesy Cab, has indicated a desire to apply for a company
license. Clearly, the market is working to provide options for Oak
Brook residents and visitors in terms of taxi service. After due
consideration, staff involved in the licensing process sees no reason to
maintain an artificial limit on the aggregate number of cabs registered
by licensed companies for operation in the Village. Staff thinks the
demand for service will dictate how many vehicles are actually
operating at a given time.

ORDINANCE 98-ZO-V-S-917
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING VARIATIONS FROM THE PROVISIONS

(3824 York Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523)
WHEREAS, in 1972, in a case entitled Cities Service Oil Company v. Village of Oak Brook, 71-
1443-G, the Circuit Court found that the setback lines imposed by the Village on the property at 3824

owners of the major portion of the property on which to construct a building"; and
WHEREAS, the Circuit Court's decision was affirmed in Cities Service Oil Companv v. Village of
Oak Brook, 15 III.App.3d 424, 304 N.E.2d 460 (2nd Dist., 1973) wherein the Appellate Court found that
the setback restrictions were "clearly unreasonable" and agreed with the Circuit Court that the Village's
Zoning Ordinance as applied to the setback requirements of both parcels comprising the Subject
Property was unconstitutional; and
WHEREAS, an application has been filed requesting setback and other variations for the Subject
Property; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Oak Brook, pursuant to due and
appropriate legal notice conducted a public hearing thereon on April 7, 1998; and
WHEREAS, the said Zoning Board of Appeals made specific findings of fact and
recommendation for approval of the following variations:

(c) the southerly required side yard from 60 feet to 20 feet in width;
(d) the required rear yard from 60 feet to 15 feet in width;

ground sign on a lot less than three acres in area; said sign shall comply with the plans prepared by
R. A. Mifflin Assoc. Architects, dated as last revised on September 30, 1998, incorporated herein by
reference, including the symbol requirements of the Graue Mill Gateway Area;
3. A variation from the provisions of Section XI(D)(1) to provide relief from the location, size and
enclosure requirements for off-street loading berths, thereby allowing loading activities in the parking
lot and in a designated area adjacent to the trash enclosure; and
WHEREAS, following the hearing before the Zoning Board, the applicant revised its request for
the southerly required side yard from 20 feet in width to 23 feet in width; and
WHEREAS, the corporate authorities of the Village of Oak Brook have considered these
recommendations and findings and concur in the same since they are supported by the preponderance
of evidence in the record;

WHEREAS, the property commonly known as 3824 York Road ("Subject Property")consists of

WHEREAS, in 1972 in a case entitled Cities Service Oil Company v. Village of Oak Brook. 71-
1443-G, the Circuit Court found that with respect to the northerly parcel, "the zoning of the Village of Oak
Brook for residential use is not compatible with the character of the neighborhood and existing uses
therein, and has no tendency to promote the health, safety, morals, convenience and general welfare of
the citizens of the Village of Oak Brook," and further found that the"general character of the neighborhood
is business'; and
WHEREAS, the Circuit Court's decision was affirmed in Cities Service Oil Company v. Village of
Oak Brook. 15 III.App. 3d 424, 304 N.E.2d 460 (2nd Dist., 1973), wherein the Appellate Court found that
with respect to the northerly parcel the existing uses of the area were basically commercial with
considerable public use for forest preserve purposes, including the historic Graue Mill site, and with
comparatively few residential uses and went on to state: "The area cannot be characterized as solidly
residential, but rather is developing commercial; and any damage to the property of the surrounding area
has already been done by existing commercial use," 15 III.App. 3d at 430; and
WHEREAS, on February 16, 1998, an application was filed with the Village Clerk of the Village of
Oak Brook requesting that the northerly parcel be rezoned from R-3 to B-3, thereby avoiding split zoning
as depicted on the attached map; and
WHEREAS, on February 24, 1998, the corporate authorities referred the application to the Plan
Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals for public hearings; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of March 16, 1998, the Plan Commission recommended to the Village
Board that the application be approved; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Zoning Board of Appeals on April 7, 1998, pursuant
to due and appropriate legal notice; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing on April 7, 1998,the Zoning Board of Appeals made certain
findings and recommended to the Village Board that the application be approved; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees concur with the Plan Commission and Zoning
Board of Appeals and find that it is in the best interests of the Village that the northerly parcel within the
Village of Oak Brook be rezoned from R-3 to B-3.

owners of the major portion of the property on which to construct a building"; and
WHEREAS, the Circuit Court's decision was affirmed in Cities Service Oil Company v. Village of
Oak Brook, 15 III.App.3d 424, 304 N.E.2d 460 (2nd Dist., 1973) wherein the Appellate Court found that
the setback restrictions were "clearly unreasonable" and agreed with the Circuit Court that the Village's
Zoning Ordinance as applied to the setback requirements of both parcels comprising the Subject
Property was unconstitutional; and
WHEREAS, an application has been filed requesting setback and other variations for the Subject
Property; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Oak Brook, pursuant to due and
appropriate legal notice conducted a public hearing thereon on April 7, 1998; and

Patrick Mauro, 38 Mockingbird Lane, addressed the Village Board,

the Village to proceed with the approval of the Rocca project and that
the Forest Preserve District should be involved in the purchase of the

the bank and that this concept is inappropriate for the area.

ROCCA PETITION—3824 YORK ROAD
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED RELIEF
October 13, 1998
PETITION FOR: Zoning Map Amendment, Variations, Special Use, Historic Graue Mill Gateway
Area Certificate of Appropriateness and Flood Plain Special Use.
PETITIONER: Alan Rocca(contract purchaser of property)
OWNER: First National Bank of LaGrange as Trustee under Trust No. 1090; Frank C.,E.M. and
Frank E.Mitchell,Beneficiaries
The following recommendations from the Plan Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals are before the
Village Board again this evening, pursuant to a motion to table which was approved on April 28 and
continued several times since that date(May 26,June 23, September 8, September 22). Over the intervening
period of time,certain amendments have been made to the petition,which will be noted.
The recommendations are the result of the Plan Commission meeting held on March 16 and the Zoning
Board of Appeals meeting held on April 7.
All recommendations are for approval of the requested zoning relief and were adopted by unanimous votes
of the recommending bodies,with one exception that will be noted.
The site is located at 3824 York Road and consists of two irregularly shaped contiguous parcels totaling
approximately 31,100 square feet (.714 acres) in area. The southerly parcel is zoned B-3 and the northerly
parcel is zonedR-3.
The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals have made the following recommendations, as
applicable. In each instance, the hearing bodies found that the standards applicable to each form of
relief sought were met.
Map Amendment: Rezone northerly parcel from R-3 to B-3, eliminating the split zoning. With respect to
the rezoning proposal, it should be noted that the Circuit Court has previously decreed that the Village's
Zoning Ordinance unconstitutional and void as applied to the current residential zoning of the northerly
parcel. The Court found that the general character of the neighborhood is business. That decision was later
affirmed by the Illinois Appellate Court.
Yard Variations: Approval of yard variations as follows:
Front: Reduce from 100' to 73'
North Side: Reduce from 60' to 40'
South Side: Reduce from 60' to 23' (modified from the original request of 20')
Rear: Reduce from 60' to 15'
With respect to the yard variations,it should be noted that strict application of the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance to the property yields a site with no buildable area. The Circuit Court has also previously decreed
that the yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance are unconstitutional and void as applied to this property.
That decision was also later affirmed by the Appellate Court. The Zoning Board of Appeals approved the
recommendation concerning the yard variations by a vote of 5 tol—the only vote that was not unanimous.
The dissenting member indicated that his objection was to the rear yard variation.
Sign Variation: Approval of a variation to permit a ground(freestanding) sign on a parcel smaller than three
(3) acres in area. The sign is to comply with the plans as submitted and with the symbol requirements of the
Graue Mill Gateway Area.
Loading Berth Variation: Approval of a variation from the requirement for a loading berth located at the
rear of the building and enclosed by an 8-foot high wall. The variation would alleviate this requirement and
allow loading activities to take place in the parking lot and in a designated area adjacent to the trash
enclosure (a minimal amount of such activity is anticipated). The variation would provide relief from the
length,location and enclosure requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Fence Variation: Approval of a variation to allow solid fences, six feet in height, along the north and west
property lines. This element has been withdrawn and the fence along the west side is no longer shown on
the site plan.
Special Use—Bank Drive-In: Approval of a special use for a bank drive-in facility subject to the condition
that the owner alleviate any traffic stacking problems, should they develop. (Banks are permitted uses in B-
3,but drive-through facilities are a special use).
Flood Plain Special Use: Approval of a Flood Plain Special Use under the terms of the stormwater
ordinance to allow occupancy and reconfiguration of the flood plain, subject to the requirement for
compensatory storage at a ratio of 1.5:1. The compensatory storage would be located in a dry basin at the
north end of the property. (Stonnwater detention would be located in a piping system beneath the parking
lot.)
Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area Certificate of Appropriateness: Approval of the Certificate pursuant
to Section VIII-A of the Zoning Ordinance. The Certificate process concerns matters of site planning,
architectural design, signage and landscaping. It does not concern land use per se.
A revised site plan has been submitted which reflects a slight reduction in the floor area of the building
(about 250 square feet) resulting in a building of approximately 8,570 square feet (FAR = .276). The
site plan reflects the increase in the south side yard already mentioned, and no longer shows the bank
drive-through exiting onto the Glendale Avenue right-of-way. Thus, modification of the license
agreement that allows the property at 3900 York use of this right-of-way is no longer necessary.
If the Board concurs with the various recommendations of the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of
Appeals,it would be appropriate to so indicate by motion and to direct the Village Attorney to prepare
the necessary ordinances to implement the recommendations. In addition to the conditions attached to
certain of the recommendations,the staff recommends that the following conditions be incorporated in
the relevant ordinances:
1. That the property be developed and maintained in substantial conformity with the revised site
plan,a revised landscaping plan and building elevation drawings as submitted.
2. That the Flood Plain Special Use be subject to final engineering approval, including
requirements for proper maintenance of the stormwater management facilities.
some 90+years ago. President Bushy has been named to a small task force of
mayors and directors of the various Councils of Government that is charged
with crafting a response to the plan on behalf of the 260 municipalities in the
region. The results of that work will be shared with the Village Board at an
upcoming meeting.

The petitioner has submitted a revised site plan and letter amending (3824 York Road)
various elements of their proposal which accomplish the following:
1) The fence along the west lot line has been eliminated and the
variation request for fences along both the north and west lot lines
were withdrawn.
2) The access to and from the Glendale Avenue right-of-way has
been eliminated and thereby obviates any need for modification to
the right-of-way use agreement between the Village and the
owner of the property to the west (3900 York Road).
3) A modest reduction to the size of the building, approximately 250
square feet overall.
4) The setback to the south is now approximately 23 feet instead of
20 feet as shown on the original site plan and Rider A.
There has been considerable dialog regarding the possibility that the
property should be acquired by one of the local governmental
jurisdictions and Mr. Rocca has contacted the Village, the Oak Brook
Park District, and the DuPage County Forest Preserve District with
respect to this. To date, Director of Community Development Hawk
is not aware that any of these agencies is considering such a land
acquisition. In any case, if at any future time the acquisition of this
property is deemed necessary by one of these agencies, they all have
the ability to do so. In the meantime, the Village has this land use
proposal on the table which would resolve the long standing problem
with the condition and use of the property.
VILLAG17 OF OAK BROOK Minutes 12 of 24 October 13, 1998
The Village has received several letters from citizens with their
comments on this proposal and all that were received by the close of
business on Thursday, October 8, 1998 have been included in the
Board's file. Any later arrivals will be copied and distributed at the
Village Board meeting of October 13, 1998.

The following recommendations from the Plan Commission and the
Zoning Board of Appeals are before the Village Board again this
evening, pursuant to a motion to table which was approved on April
28, 1998 and continued several times since that date (May 26, June
23, September S, and September 22, 1998). Over the intervening
period of time, certain amendments have been made to the petition,
which will be noted.
The recommendations are the result of the Plan Commission meeting
held on March 16, 1998 and the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting
held on April 7, 199S.
All recommendations are for approval of the requested zoning relief
and were adopted by unanimous votes of the recommending bodies,
with one exception that will be noted.
The site is located at 3824 York Road and consists of two irregularly
shaped contiguous parcels totaling approximately 3 1,100 square feet
(.714 acres) in area. The southerly parcel is zoned B-3 and the
nordicrly parcel is zoned R-3.
The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals have made the
Iollowitig recommendations, as applicable. In each instance, the
hearing bodies found that the standards applicable to each form of
reliel'sought were met.
\%Il.l.r\GE nl' OAK 131ZOOK Minutes 13 of 24 October 13, 1998
Map Amendment: Rezone northerly parcel from R-3 to B-3,
eliminating the split zoning. With respect to the rezoning proposal, it
should be noted that the Circuit Court has previously decreed that the
Village's Zoning Ordinance is unconstitutional and void as applied to
the current residential zoning of the northerly parcel. The Court
found that the general character of the neighborhood is business.
That decision was later affirmed by the Illinois Appellate Court.
Yard Variations: Approval of yard variations as follows:
Front: Reduce from-100 feet to 73 feet;
North Side: Reduce from 60 feet to 40 feet;
South Side: Reduce from 60 feet to 23 feet (modified from the
original request of 20 feet); and
Rear: Reduce from 60 feet to 15 feet.
With respect to the yard variations, it should be noted that strict
application of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance to the
property yields a site with no buildable area. The Circuit Court has
also previously decreed that the yard requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance are unconstitutional and void as applied to this property.
That decision was also later affirmed by the Appellate Court. The
Zoning Board of Appeals approved the recommendation concerning
the yard variations by a vote of 5 to 1 —the only vote that was not
unanimous. The dissenting member indicated that his objection was
to the rear yard variation.
Si ,ri Variation: Approval of a variation to permit a ground
(freestanding) sign on a parcel smaller than three (3) acres in area.
The sign is to comply with the plans as submitted and with the
symbol requirements of the Graue Mill Gateway Area.
Loading Berth Variation: Approval of a variation from the
requirement for a loading berth located at the rear of the building and
enclosed by an 8-foot high wall. The variation would alleviate this
requirement and allow loading activities to take place in the parking
lot and in a designated area adjacent to the trash enclosure (a minimal
amount OFsuch activity is anticipated). The variation would provide
relief from the length, location and enclosure requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Fence Variation: Approval of a variation to allow solid fences, six
(6') lcct in height, along the north and west property lines. This
element has been withdrawn and the fence along the west side is no
longer shown on the site plan.
VILLAGE OF OAK BIZOOK Minutes 14 o('24 October 13, 1998
1/6,
Special Use—Bank Drive-In: Approval of a special use for a bank
drive-in facility subject to the condition that the owner alleviate any
traffic stacking problems, should they develop. (Banks are permitted
uses in B-3, but drive-through facilities are a special use).
Flood Plain Special Use: Approval of a Flood Plain Special Use
under the terms of the stormwater ordinance to allow occupancy and
reconfiguration of the flood plain, subject to the requirement for
compensatory storage at a ratio of 1.5:1. The compensatory storage
would be located in a dry basin at the north end of the property.
(Stormwater detention would be located in a piping system beneath
the parking lot.)
Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area Certificate of Appropriateness:
Approval of the Certificate pursuant to Section VIII-A of the Zoning
Ordinance. The Certificate process concerns matters of site planning,
architectural design, signage and landscaping. It does not concern
land use per se.
A revised site plan has been submitted which reflects a slight
reduction in the floor area of the building (about 250 square feet)
resulting in a building of approximately 8,570 square feet (FAR=
.276). The site plan reflects the increase in the south side yard
already mentioned, and no longer shows the bank drive-through
exiting onto the Glendale Avenue right-of-way. Thus, modification
of the license agreement that allows the property at 3900 York use of
this right-of-way is no longer necessary.
John Romanelli, representing the petitioner, commented on the issues
raised at the September 8, 1998 Village Board meeting. Mr. Rocca
contacted and did not receive any interest by the Oak Brook Park
District or the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County to purchase
the property at 3824 York Road. They have revised the drive-through
by altering the traffic circulation to enter and exit on York Road,
reduced the size of the building and moved the building an additional
five (5') feet from the Glendale property line. Glendale is a public
right-of-way, and they do have right of access. The property is
presently surrounded by three commercial entities. The Forest
Preserve District of DuPage County is negotiating with the Greco and
Bluhm families to purchase these properties for expanded Graue Mill
parking. The applicant has withdrawn a request for a fence and the
current homeowner has had the existing fence removed.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 15 of 24 October 13, 1998
Bob Mifflin, Architect for the applicant, produced a model of the site
and explained the details of the project to the Village Board.
Jerry Miskovic, Engineer for the applicant, discussed the dry
detention basin which acts on the back flow of Salt Creek. The
detention pond is underneath the parking lot with pipes from the vault
discharging into a storm sewer on York Road.
Robert Fleck, Landscape Architect for the applicant, explained the
screening around the detention pond. The white pine trees were
planted by Dr. Orig and more screening is not available due to the
size of the pine trees that have expanded onto the applicant's
property.
Trustee Bartecki stated this is a difficult situation with an unbuildable
lot, but the Appellate Court has said it may be developed. The
applicant has taken steps to mitigate any potential problems. His
main concern is with Dr. Orig's property and noted that he had
previously purchased the home with the gas station next door.
Mr. Romanelli suggested, at the cost of the applicant, that they will
plant appropriate screening for Dr. Orig's property. Village Attorney
Martens stated they could enter into an agreement privately for this.
Mr. Romanelli further indicated that the applicant would be willing,
until the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County obtained the
properties for parking, to allow parking on Sundays provided they
would get indemnity and liability insurance to meet their needs.
Trustee Shumate su;cested entering into an agreement with the
Forest Preserve.
President Bushy recessed the meeting at 9:28 p.m. The meeting convened at 9:42 p.m.
President Bushy asked for public comment on the proposed project.
The following persons spoke in favor of the applicant:
Bert McCafferty, 84 Briarwood Circle

The following persons spoke against the proposed project:
Robert Waite, 3609 Madison
Patricia Waite, 3609 Madison
Tanya Fernando, 3719 Spring Road
Don O'Neil, 1224 Birchwood Road, requested that the adjacent
homeowner should not be burdened by the applicant with the
necessity for a visual barrier.
Patrick Mauro, 38 Mockingbird Lane, stated the Village is acting too
hastily, as the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is now
actively pursuing the Bluhm and Greco property for adjacent parking
of the Graue Mill area. He requested the Village contact the Forest
Preserve District of DuPage County and the Oak Brook Park District
for an official notice that neither of these entities are interested in this
property.
Emma Mitchell, beneficiary of the Trust, noted that she and owners
of the property wished to express their thanks to the Village Board for
its efforts. No one has ever contacted them from the Forest Preserve
District of DuPage County, Historical Society or the Oak Brook Park
District when a"for sale" sign has been posted on the location for
seven years.
Mr. Romanelli indicated Mr. Rocca had sent letters to the Forest
Preserve District of DuPage County and received a letter dated
September 4, 1998 from Janice Roehll, Land Acquisition Manager,
document 954 in the official file, that the Forest Preserve District was
not given authority to negotiate for this property.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee McInerney, to direct
the Village Attorney to draft the necessary ordinances to implement
the following recommendations:
Map Amendment to rezone the northerly parcel from R-3 to B-3;
Yard Variations to reduce the front yard from 100 feet to 73 feet;
Reduce the north side yard from 60 feet to 40 feet;
Reduce the south side yard from 60 feet to 23 feet; and
Reduce the rear yard from 60 feet to 15 feet;
Approval of a sign variation to permit a ground (freestanding) sign on
a parcel smaller tlian three (3) acres in area. The sign is to comply
with the plans as submitted and with the symbol requirements of the
Graue Mill Gateway Area;
VILLAGE O OAK BROOK Minutes 17 of 24 October 13, 1998
4-11
Approval of a loading berth variation from the requirement for a
loading berth located at the rear of the building and enclosed by an 8-
foot high wall;
Approval of a special use for a bank drive-in facility subject to the
condition that the owner alleviate any traffic stacking problems,
should they develop;
Approval of a Flood Plain Special Use under the terms of the
stormwater ordinance to allow occupancy and reconfiguration of the
flood plain, subject to the requirement for compensatory storage at a
ratio of 1.5:1. The compensatory storage would be located in a dry
basin at the north end of the property. (Stormwater detention would
be located in a piping system beneath the parking lot.); and
Approval of the Historic Graue Mill Gateway Certificate of
Appropriateness pursuant to Section VIII-A of the Zoning Ordinance
subject to the following conditions:
that the property shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformity with the revised site plan, revised landscaping plan, and
building elevation drawings as submitted; and
that the Flood Plain Special Use shall be subject to final engineering
approval, including requirements for proper maintenance of the
stormwater management facilities
to be brought to the Village Board for action at the October 27, 1998
regularly scheduled meeting.
Trustee Shumate asked that the fence variation be reinstated on the
petition for the northwest side of the property as privacy for Dr. Orig.
Trustee Bartecki suggested that the fence would need to meet Village
code of a 42-inch, 50 percent open fence.
Mr. Romanelli, for the record, stated the applicant would install a 42-
inch chain-link fence on the west side of the property.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee McInerney, to amend
the motion to include a 42-inch fence that conforms to the ordinance
requirement of 50 percent open on the west side of the property.

B. RECOMMENDATION - BLISTEX, INC. (1800 SWIFT DRIVE) - BLISTEx, INC. -
PLAT OF CONSOLIDATION AND PLAT OF VACATION: PLAT OF
CONSOLIDATION &
In this petition, Blistex, Inc., 1800 Swift Drive is seeking Plat PLAT OF
approval for the consolidation of two lots into a single lot. The two VACATION
lots are: (1800 Swift Driv
1) Lot 1 in the Osbrook Resubdivision- Common address - 1800
Swift Road. This lot is improved with an office and
manufacturing facility.
2) Lot 2 in the Osbrook Resubdivision - Is the vacant lot
immediately to the west of Lot 1. This lot previously was part of
the American Stores properties and in their 1974 expansion plan
was to be used for parking. This plan was never implemented.
Consolidation of the two lots into a single lot will permit elimination
of the utility easements along their common lot line and allow the
construction of a building addition and additional parking.
During the review, three issues were raised as follows:
1) Ms. Heidi Lawton, 912 Burr Oak Court, raised questions
regarding the security of her property and also the landscaping
buffer that the vacant lot has provided her and her neighbors in
the past. Blistex has stated that they are committed to continue to
be a good neighbor and will work with Ms. Lawton to provide for
her security concerns. With respect to the landscaping issue, they
will be required to provide a landscape screen along the parking
area and the 40-foot parking setback will be landscaped in an
attractive manner.
2) Lot 1, the east lot along Swift Drive, was granted a variation in
1974 that established the front yard setback line to run north and
south in a straight line as if the cul-de-sac did not exist. The basis
for this was the fact that the entire cul-de-sac and street dedication
was being taken from this property. The development of the
property by Blistex in the late 1970's was done on the basis of
this variation and nothing has changed that would make this
variation inappropriate at this time.

It seems really simple to me! ! There is a hideous,

gateway to the Oak Brook community. An entrepreneur
has come forward with a beautiful plan to take the place
of that horrid eyesore. What could be more simple?
I implore the Village of Oak Brook to follow the best
path for the entire village--the Plan Commission and
Zoning Board of Appeals both agree that Mr. Rocca's
lovely building would be a wonderful substitution for the
current horror that sits there now. Please approve the

To whom it may concern:
As long time residents of Oak Brook, we feel It Is our duty to
write ,you and encourage you to vote yes for Mr. Rocca's plan
to redevelop the abandoned gas station on York Road. For
,years, we wondered why the Village allowed that site to
remain as it has, ugly and inexcusable. It seems as If a simple
solution to the problem has presented Itself. Both the Zoning
Board of Appeals sand the Plan Commission agree that the new
building would he a desirable replacement for thatawful gas
station-we think you should vote yes and allow the plan to be
carried out.
We are proud to live In Oak Brook, a community of beauty and
grace. The abandoned gas station Is a negative which
contributes nothing to our village. The Rocca building Is not
only attractive to the eye, but was designed with great care to
perfectly fit In with the rest of Oak Brook. Please listen to
the voices of .your constituents and allow Mr. Rocca to change
this negative Into a positive thing of beauty.

My name is Jim Psyhogios, and my wife and I reside in Oak Brook with our
children at the above address. The reason for our letter is to show our total
support of the proposed development of the York Road property by Mr. Rocco.
We hove been following the progress of the development through the local
papers and the toped broadcast of the Village meetings. We do believe that
the Plan Commission members and the Zoning Board members are also in
support of Mr. Rocco's plan as indicated by their unanimous approval and
recommendation of this project.
The architectural design and detail of Mr. Rocco's building is beautiful! In fact,
the building has a residential and historic look rather than a sterile gloss and
brick office building facade.
Please vote yes and hope that Mr. Rocco will soon knock down that old gas
station building!

October 8, 1998
TO: President Bushy and Board of Trustees
FROM: Tom Hawk, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Rocca - 3824 York Road - Zoning Map Amendment -Variations - Special Use
Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area Certificate of Appropriateness - Flood Plain
Special Use
Due to the number of additional documents that have been submitted since your initial review of
this proposal on April 28, 1998, 1 am writing this memorandum to assist you in getting up to
date with the petition file as it now stands.
For an overview of the entire proposal you may find it helpful to review the application Rider A
(page A-1 of the petition file) and my memorandum on March 11, 1998 and April 22, 1998
(pages 11-11d and 29-29c of this file respectively).
The petitioner has submitted a revised site plan and letter amending various elements of their
proposal which accomplish the following:
1. The fence along the west lot line has been eliminated and the variation request for
fences along both the north and west lot lines were withdrawn.
2. The access to and from the Glendale Avenue right of way has been eliminated and
thereby obviates any need for modification to the right,of way use agreement
between the Village and the owner of the property to the west (3900 York Road).
3. A modest reduction to the size of the building, approximately 250 square feet overall.
4. The setback to the south is now approximately 23 feet instead of 20 feet as shown
on the original site plan and Rider A.
There has been considerable dialog regarding the possibility that the property should be
acquired by one of the local governmental jurisdictions and Mr. Rocca has contacted the
Village, the Park District, and the DuPage County Forest Preserve District with respect to this.
To date, I am not aware that any of these agencies is considering such a land acquisition. In
1;19.
October 8, 1998
President Bushy and Board of Trustees
RE: Rocca - 3824 York Road
Page 2
any case, if at any future time the acquisition of this property is deemed necessary by one of
these agencies, they all have the ability to do so. In the meantime, the Village has this land use
proposal on the table which would resolve the long standing problem with the condition and use
of the property.
We have received several letters from citizens with their comments on this proposal and all that
were received by the close of business on Thursday, October 8,1998 have been included in
your file. Any later arrivals will be copied and distributed at Tuesday's meeting.
If it is your wish to proceed toward approval of this proposal it would be appropriate to
pass a voice motion authorizing Attorney Martens to draft the necessary documents
(ordinances, agreements, etc.) to be brought back to you for action at your October 27,
1998 meeting.
Conditional Elements:
The following conditional elements should be included in any approval of this proposal:
1. The property shall be developed in substantial accordance with the Site Plan,
Landscape Plan, and Elevation Plan as submitted.
2. The Flood Plain Special Use shall be subject to final engineering approval and
include requirements for maintenance of the stormwater management
facilities.

Re: Petition Application of Alan Rocca re: Property at 3824 York Read
Dear Tom:
This letter will outline Mr. Rocca's revisions 1br his Petition Application and the
rationale therefore.
Mr. Rocca has tiled a revised Site Plan dated September 30, 1998 which contains the
following changes:
Elimination of a fence along the west site of the subiect property. The revised
Landscape Plan shows landscaping in place of the fence. The existing fence has been removed.
Requested Variations C-3 and C-4 are eliminated.
2. Elimination of the planned driveway connecting the planned bank drive-in to
Glendale Avenue. The requested Special Use Penr.it:s eliminated.
3. Reduction of the size of the planned building by five feet along its south side
which incrleasm the minimum depth of the south yard from 20 teet to 25 teet.
4. Amendment of front yard Variation B-1 to reduce it to 74 feet.
With regard to the minimum setbacks set forth in the Oak Brodk Zoning Ordinance, it
should he kept in mind that the trial court in C tries Service Oil C:umpuny v. Yif/uge of Oak firook,
No. 71-1443-0(judgment cntcrc d 2/15/72)ordered,adjudged and decreed that the Zoning
Ordinance of the Village of Oak Brook"is hereby declared to be unconstitutional and void as it
applies to Parcel#1 and as it applies to the front yard,rear yard and side yard requirements of
bosh Parcels#1 and#2." The lllinoi:� Appellate Court affirmed the decision of the trial court.

Dear President Bushy and�the Board of Trustees:
We debated whether 6r not to send a letter to you and the Trustees because
we thought it would be quite obvious to approve the Rocca plan for the York
Road property as recommended by both the Plan Commission and Zoning
Board of Appeals.
However, when we heard that some members of the Board might not agree
with the Commission's recommendation, we thought that we would write to
show our total support. As residents of this fine community, we're concerned
that we could miss an opportunity such as this..
Once again, we would like to express our sincere hope that you approve

we were excited and enthused about the prospect of the abandoned gas

proud of,,,,therm we were Ifrribly disappointed to hear the plan had not yet
been approved! Thus, we are writing to voice our displeasure of the status
of Mr. Rocca's wonnderfual plana.
York Road is a heavily traveled path taken by both Oak Brook residents
as well as those just passing through. How could we have allowed that
awful gas station to greet passersby for so long? Now an opportunity has
arisen to rectify the situations. Note yes and allow Mr. Rocca to complete
his plan, getting rid! of Oak Brook's eyesore and transforming it into one

understanding that the Board of Trustees will be voting on the Rocca
Proposal for York Roact on October 13, 1998. Although I will be
unable to physically attend the meeting, I would encourage the Board
to approve this plan, any needed variances, and/or even create a T.I.F.
if needed.
This property has been for sale for five years, and after all this time
we finally have a solution to this abandoned site. I am sure that the

Dear President Bushy and Village Trustees:
I live in close proximity to the property at 3824 York Road on which Mr. Rocca is proposing to
develop his jewelry store and a bank facility. I usually drive past the gas station on an average of
six times per day. Although I currently reside on the Hinsdale side of the street, I am a property
owner in Oak Brook. I have been a resident of Oak Brook for 10 years.
The reason for my letter is to urge and encourage you and your Trustees to allow this
development plan. Having to drive past this parcel on a regular basis prompted me to attend
your Plan Commission and Zoning Board meetings. It seemed to me that Mr. Rocca's proposal
offers your village a very reasonable alternative for the development or re-development of an
unsightly, abandoned gas station.
It was my distinct impression that the majority of the Zoning Board, Plan Commission and the
majority of people in the audience were in agreement with this project. The presentation was
clear and incisive giving the details of size, setbacks, needed variances, and architectural style.
The existing condition of the site is really an embarrassment to our fine community.

Since I am a long time customer of Alan Rocca, Ltd. in Lombard, I would like to express

would be to the area and its residents. From an aesthetic standpoint, it would certainly be
a big improvement over the existing property.

Dear Karen:
I am writing today in regards to the on-going proposal to improve the
Citgo gas station at the intersection of York and Spring Roads.
As a long time resident of Oak Brook, I have watched the
opportunities for revitalizing that parcel come and go over the past
fifteen ye*rs. It seems none of them have materialized. You currently
have befdre you another opportunity to demolish the existing building,
and develop that property with a building that befits the dignity that
our village has come to expect. I wish to express my complete support
for Mr. Rocca's viable plan to construct an exceptionally beautiful
building to house his jewelry store, a bank and other professional
offices.
Now that it has been reported that there are no other private or public
parties interested in the property, I would like to express my sincere
hope that you,our village representatives, approve Mr. Rocca's
request so that he can expeditiously turn his proposal into a reality.
The transformation of this current eye sore into an elegant and
functional addition to our community is long overdue.

Dear President Bushy and Village Trustees:
I am writing in regards to Alan Rocca's reported proposal to house his fine jewelry store on the York and
Spring Roads property that he plans tdj develop with a drive-through bank and office building. What a great
combination of professional, prominent businesses to reflect our fine community at it's Gateway.
As a customer of Alan Rocca, Ltd. in Lombard, I would like to express to the Board how much of a benefit
it would be to approve the building Mr. Rocca has proposed, not to mention what a convenience. I speak
for many of Mr. Rocca's customer's who live in Oak Brook- and there are a lot of us, that Alan's hands-on,
honest approach to running his jewelry business has earned him a fine reputation that should be welcomed
into our community.
As a resident of Oak Brook, I am truly excited at the thought of seeing the beautiful building being
proposed, instead of the abandoned gas station. Our support is fully behind this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board table consideration of this petition to
the regular meeting scheduled for October 13, 1998.
The petitioner in this matter has requested that consideration of the petition be postponed once
again. As I understand it, this latest request results from an illness in the family of the architect
which has made it impossible for the petitioner to be prepared with updated plans and additional
materials for consideration by the Board.
In addition, the petitioner notes that the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County did not confirm
its intentions to him until September 4, when he received a letter stating that the Forest Preserve
District staff has not been authorized to negotiate for the purchase of the subject property. One of
the reasons for the previous postponement was to allow time for the Forest Preserve District to
determine whether or not it is interested in acquiring the property.
There appears to be no reason why this request should not be granted and I recommend accordingly.

Re: 3824 York Road
Dear Mr. Veitch,
Although it was my sincere intention to appear at the September 22, 1998 meeting of the Village
Trustees, I regret that I will not be prepared to do so.
An immediate family member of my architect needed major emergency surgery which in fact caused
my unforeseen delay.
I would hope that the Board of Trustees would grant me an extension to the next scheduled meeting
to be held on October 13, 1998.
Additionally, it was reported in the Hinsdale Doings that the Forest Preserve District officials decided
on July 21, 1998, against purchasing the property.
On September 4, 1998 1 received the enclosed letter from Janice Roehll (Land Acquisition Manger,
Forest Preserve District of DuPage County) stating that the Forest Preserve staff has not been given
the authority to negotiate for the property.
Sincerely,
Alan Rocca

Senior staff members-of the Emergency Management Team meet once a month
and hold table top emergency management exercises. In the last several
months, staff has been focused on the Y2K problem to ensure that the Village's
computers are Y2K compatible, and the vendors that serve the Village are also
Y2K compatible. President Bushy indicated that an article from the Chicago
SUN-TIMES of September 5, 1998 noted that the Office of Management and
Budget(OMB) stated seven of the government's largest agencies aren't
making adequate progress and will miss President Clinton's deadline to have
their most-important computers fixed by March, 1999, unless they improve.
The State Department has fallen further behind in the past three months and
now"faces a significant challenge in managing its extensive Y2K project", the
OMB report said. The other agencies lagging are Defense, Education, Energy,
Health and Human Services, Transportation and the Agency for International
Development. The Village is concerned about the public safety of our
residents when this event occurs. Contingency plans are being considered in
the event additional or enhanced village services are required.
Trustee McInerney noted that embedded chips have been placed in computer
items within a household, such as a thermostat, an alarm system or a personal
compute, which need to be updated for Y2K compatibility.

Dear Ms. Gow, Ms. Stone, Mr. Merkel, Mr. O'Shea:
The Fullersburg Historic Foundation wishes to express concern over the disposition of
the parcel of land at 3824 York Rd. It lies within the historic gateway area. This area
has been the recipient of much financial assistance from the Forest Preserve District
and the Villages of Oak Brook and Hinsdale-more than $5,000,000. This has been
very helpful and has gone a long way in preserving the distinctive character of the
area. With the $500,000 grant to reconstruct the Graue residence and the Ben Fuller
house preparing to install mechanical systems, it would be a shame to see the area
impacted negatively by commercial development; especially since a completed Graue
residence and operating Ben Fuller farmhouse will tax the already limited parking
capacity for all these attractions.
If our local government bodies are not the protectors of this historic gateway area, then
we deserve the results that ensue. There are overwhelming historic considerations
active in this area and allowing commercial development would, in our opinion, be a
degradation. It is our hope that some funds can be found by the Forest Preserve
District (perhaps from the $75 million bond issue) to maintain the historic aspects of

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 9 of 14 June 23, 1998
ti:,
DR. ORIG'S STATEMENT
Good evening, Madam President Bushy, Members of the Village Board of Trustees, friends,
ladies and gentlemen. My name is Dr. Carlito Orig and I reside at 3900 York Road. As
previously stated at the May 26, 1998 Village Board meeting, I am the homeowner immediately
situated to the west of the vacant gas station on York Road. I did not attend the April 26, 1998
Village Board meeting because Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Rocca told us that it was not necessary for
us to attend the meeting. However, I am a concerned homeowner, as is everyone else in this
room. We tryour best to keep our homes nice and neat. We obey the rules and ordinances set
forth by the village and in doing so, we safeguard the value of our property. It is not true that I
do not care that an unfit commercial building is to be constructed next door to my home—I do
care very deeply. Contrary to what others have said, I do not endorse Mr. Rocca's proposal due
to the following reasons:
1. The proposed building will be constructed just 15 feet away from my property line. The
zoning code requires that the distance of any commercial building to the next property line
should be 60 feet.
2. According to a reliable source, the berm and the fence that is supposed to separate my home
from the commercial building will be erected on my property—not on the property line nor on
the commercial property.
3. Based on their plan, my driveway will be used as part of the bank's operation. If they will do
this, the mature trees, shrubs, and the berm which were planted and constructed when my
house was built to create a"buffer"from the previous gas station, will be demolished.
Moreover, because of the resulting traffic,just going in and out of my own driveway will be a
great inconvenience to my family. The traffic on York Road, north of Ogden is already
congested enough during rush hours. What Oak Brook does not need is more traffic on York
Road during rush hour.
4. The proposed building is also too tall and too big in proportion to the size of the lot and to the
present vacant gas station. The proposal simply overwhelms the parcel.
None of the above were disclosed to us by Mr. Rocca when he came over to our house prior to
the April 26h Village Board meeting.
5. Lastly, the change of the zoning from residential to commercial will result in the loss of a
"buffer"to the adjoining residential homeowners.
In light of its historical value as the Historic Graue Mill Gateway, there is a possibility that this
piece of property will be purchased by either the DuPage Forest Preserve or the Oak Brook Park
District. If this piece of property remains as an"open space", it will serve as an extension of the
Graue Mill as a mini-park and/or additional parking lot. This possibility I wholeheartedly endorse.
After reading the Oak Brook Newsletter of June 1998, my hopes grew high that a favorable
verdict would be made on this property because in doing so, we would all be in accord with the
principal elements of the Village of Oak Brook Statement of Vision and Mission Statement,
particularly the following: _
• "Engage in ongoing planning and development efforts designed to preserve and enhance the
value of property in the Village.
• "Consult with and involve Oak Brook citizens in the Village's decision-making processes."
• "Vast open spaces and extensive cultural and recreational facilities."
If we allow Mr. Rocca's plan with so many variances to proceed, it is unjust to us who reside
within the immediate vicinity and indeed to the entire village. It will be detrimental to the
preservation and enhancement of the value of our properties and a definite contradiction to the
Village of Oak Brook Statement of Vision and Mission Statement. Moreover, when we bought
our property, it was in the belief and trust that the zoning code of Oak Brook would be used to
protect us.
I am requesting and appealing to you Madam President Bushy and Members of the Village of Oak
Brook Board of Trustees to be just and fair in considering this matter.
Thank you and good night.

Deer Mr. Rocca,
In response to your May 1 d, 1998 letter we wish to advise you that the Oak
Brook Park District is very much interested in the property at 3824 York Road.
On October 31, 1997 the Park District purchased a 80'x300' parcel at 3806
Spring Road, which is wi fiin the same vicinity of 3824 YorX Road. The house and
garage were demolished last week and the area converted to open space.
On December 5, 1997 the Park District submitted a list of properties to the
Forest Preserve District of DuPage County to be considered 83 open space
opportunities as a result of the successful passage of the November 4, 1897 $75
MM oounty referendum. The property at 3824 York Road was Included on this list.
We agree with the Oak Brook and Hinsdale Hlsto6c Societies that this
property In the Historic Gateway would be better suited for open space rather then
commercial development. ,
Presently the Oak Brook Paris District and the Forest Preserve of DuPage
County are giving this matter consideration.
Sincerely,
David Fichter

ercial business conducted on and from said premises at all times since

Village of Oak Brook Ordinance No. G-60, as amended, which
ordinance is known, cited and referred to as "The Zoning Ordinance of
the Village of Oak Brook, Illinois of 1966", said ordinance having
heretofore been duly adopted by the corporate authorities of said
Village on March 22, 1966.
10. Excepting the findings of the 1972 decree regarding the yard setback
requirements in conjunction with the specific modernization and
improvement plan heretofore advanced by the corporate plaintiff, all
remaining provisions of the cited zoning ordinance, together with all
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, apply to, govern, and
control the subject premises in respect to the mandated exclusive use
thereof for automobile service station purposes.
11. The relevant provisions of the cited zoning ordinance are consistent
with acknowledged standards prevailing in the retail petroleum
industry for automobile service stations.
12. Frank E. Mitchell, the respondent herein, has despite repeated requests ,
and demands by duly authorized officers, agents and employees of the
Village of Oak Brook, engaged in, and continues to engage in, a course
of conduct which directly contravenes the express language and fair
intendments of the aforementioned decree which incorporates, as a
matter of law, all applicable provisions of the cited zoning ordinance.
13. . The foregoing includes the following specific acts done, or caused to
be done, by said respondent in respect of the subject premises:
a) The storage, keeping, and/or disassembly thereon of junk or
otherwise inoperable vehicles, cannibalized automotive parts
and accessories, discarded rubber tires, and the like;
b) The failure to lirnit accessory off-street parking to the auto-
mobiles of patrons, occupants or employees in the manner
contemplated under the controlling zoning ordinance;
C) The offering on said premises of storage or parking space for
rent;
d) The failure to conduct repair work within a completely
enclosed building except where such repair work is minor in
scope and for the customary purpose of servicing persons who
are parked in automobiles on the premises as an incident to
their purchase of automotive fuels and lubricants;
e) The offering for sale of motor vehicles situated on said
premises;
f) The parking of motor vehicles on the northerly forty (40) feet
of Parcel 1 and the failure to maintain the same in a grassed
and landscaped condition;
g) The. parking of motor vehicles elsewhere on Parcel 1 in an area
not improved with an all-weather hard surface pavement
installed in accordance with Village of Oak Brook standards
and specifications;
h) The failure to construct and maintain required screening and
landscaping for off-street parking areas.
14. The aforementioned acts of omission and commission by the respon-
dent, Frank E. Mitchell, constitute violations under the following
designated sections of The Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Oak
Brook, Illinois of 1966-
(a) XIV (B) (10) - Definition of automobile service station.
(b) VIII (B) (2) - Scope of business district provisions.
(c) XI (E) (5) - Use/accessory off-street parking.

(e) XI (E) (9) (c) - Screening and landscaping/accessory off-street
parking.
(f) XI (E) (9) (e) - Prohibition against repair work conducted within
accessory off-street parking area.
15. The court specifically finds that the subject premises are not being
I
used as an "automobile service station" as mandated under the 1972
decree; or as that term is contemplated under the controlling zoning
ordinance which is incorporated therewith; or in conformity with
acknowledged standards prevailing in the retail petroleum industry;
and, further, that the subject premises have the appearance of a "junk
yard" as defined under Section XIV (B) (69) of the cited ordinance.

3. That Parcel #1 is presently zoned for residential use
udder the Zoning Ordinance of the Villages of Oak Brook and Parcel

GAkinance and is presently being used for the operation of an auto-
r ile service station.
4. That the general character of the neighborhood is
. �•• g 8 ,
business.
5. That the highest and best use of Parcell and
Parcel #2 is for the operation of an automobile service station.
6. That the setback lines of the Village of Oak Brook
Zoning Ordinance in effect prevent the use of Parcel V1 and Parcel
#2 by depriving the owners of the major portion of the property on
which to construct a building and as such amounts to a confiscation
of property without due process and therefore violates the constitu-
tional rights of the owners.
7. That the plaintiffs are desirous of enlarging the exist-
ing automobile service station by the addition of a third bay, by
moJeLnizing the existing service station, and by construction of a
•
• canopy over the existing pump islands, all as shown more fully on
the exhibit attached to the pleadings, and said exhibit and the testi-
mony indicate that the plaintiff will provide for a forty (40) foot
area to be grassed and landscaped on the Northern portion of Parcel
and that the physical layout of the property is such that no
harm will come to anyone from the granting of the prayer of thiL
Petition and that in fact the alterations which wi11 be made will en-
hance the beauty of the neighborhood and add to the character of the
neighborhood.
8. The enlarging of the existing automobile service sta-
tion i ordance with the proposals submitted to this Court, will
not diminish the value of the surrounding property, but in many ways
will probably enhance the value.
i
9. That the granting of this Petition will not in any way
diminish the beauty or historical value of Graue Mill or any of the
Forest Preserve property nor will it in any way dimish the value of
any of the surrounding properties.
10. That the zoning of the Village of Oak Brook for resi-
dential use for parcel P-1 is not compatible with the character of
the neighborhood and existing uses therein, and has no tendency to
promorc the health, safety, morals, convenience and general wfkfa=e
of the citizens of the Village of Oak Brook and bears no relationship
thereto.
11. That the zoning of the Village of Oak Brook of Parcel
�tl is �.rbitrary, unreasonable and void and constitutes a taking of
property without due process of law.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED AS
FOLLOWS:
• EJV:fo 1-5 2/15/72
1. That the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Oak Brook
is hereby declared to be unconstitutional and void as it applies
to Parcel fF1 and as it applies to the front yard, rear yard and
side yard requirements of both Parcels V1 and C-2-
2. That the Village of Oak Brook and all of its officL;s,
agents, servants and employees be and the same are hereby enjoined

Dear President and Members of the OakBrook Board of Trustees:
At the annual meeting of the whole the homeowners of the F`A'AA
present, voted unanimously to present the following statements of
position to you in regard to the Rocca development.
1. The building is too large for the property.
2. We object to the rezoning of the north lot from residential to
business. A buffer zone must be maintained between business and
residential.
3. Changing zoning laws is a severe injustice to people who purchased
property in the area depending on the current zoning regulations.
4. The neighbors' desires have been misrepresented to the village
commission and boards. The immediate neighbors are not in favor of
the project as presented.
5. It is a well known fact that spot zoning is the bane of all
neighborhoods. In addition a precedent of this nature could very easily
lead to a mini Ogden Avenue or Roosevelt road conglomeration such as
some of our neighboring communities have on their borders.
6. The traffic in this area is already extremely congested throughout
most of the day which is very easily confirmed if you take a ride
driving either from Ogden to the north or Spring to the south.
Res ectfully,
Bob Waite, President

DR. ORIG'S STATEMENT
Thank you Mrs. Bushy and Members of the Village Board of Trustees, for giving me the
opportunity to speak on behalf of my family and myself. I am Dr. Carlito Orig. My family and I
reside at 3900 York Road, the home situated immediately to the west of the vacant gas station on
York Road, which is the subject of tonight's discussion.
I am sorry that I was unable to attend the last Village Board meeting due to personal reasons.
Moreover, Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. Rocca told us that it was not necessary for us to attend the
meeting. However, I am a concerned homeowner, as is everyone else in this room. We try our
best to keep our homes nice and neat; we obey the rules and ordinances set forth by the Village;
and in doing so, we safeguard the value of our property.
My mind was opened to a lot things after reading articles in the Oak Brook editions of"The
Doings" and "The Press,"both dated May 1", 1998. These articles explained the plan to
construct a two-story building to house a jewelry store, a bank with a drive-through window, and
offices on the subject property. I began to understand that there is a possibility that this piece of
property could be an "open space" - because it has historical value, as the historical Graue Mill
gateway. Thus, it could be used as an extension of Graue Mill as a mini-park and a parking lot -
which, as an Oak Brook resident, I wholeheartedly endorse. I also learned that as a citizen and a
homeowner, I can voice and express my opinion.
It is not true that I do not care that an unfit commercial building is to be constructed next door to
my home- I do care very deeply. Contrary to what others have said, I do not endorse Mr.
Rocca's proposal. I adamantly oppose the plan; as I have also learned that the proposed building
will be constructed 15 feet away from my property line - when in fact, the required distance from
any commercial building to the next property line should be 60 feet. We are not even talking
about the so-called "reasonable relief'in this situation.
Furthermore, according to reliable sources, the burm and the fence that is supposed to separate
my home from the building will be erected on my property and not on the property line nor on the
commercial property. According to their plan, my driveway will be used as part of the operation
of the bank. Presently, my driveway is professionally landscaped with mature trees, shrubs, and a
burrill which were planted and constructed when the house was built to create a"buffer" from the
previous gas station. In their plan, these trees will be cut down in order to have access to the
bank operation. You can well imagine the traffic jam that will occur going in and out of my own
driveway to reach my home.
Lastly, the proposed building is also taller and bigger in proportion to the size of the lot and to the
present vacant gas station. I believe that this will create an equally undesirable eyesore.
Therefore, I strongly oppose any`unfit" commercial building, with too many variances, being
constructed in front of my home.
I thank everyone for allowing me this opportunity to express my feelings and those who, in one
way or another, support us in this difficult situation. Again, thank you.

Dear Mr. Veitch:
I am under contract to buy the property at 3824 York Road, in Oak
Brook, for $750, 000.
The Oak Brook and Hinsdale Historical Societies believe this property
is better suited for open space rather than a new commercial building.
One of their approaches is to have the Village of Oak Brook buy the
land.
If the Village of Oak Brook is interested in buying this property, I
will find another site for my business. Please let me know the
Village's intentions. Thank you.

states that if the applicant does not wish to proceed with the proposed
project, the rezoning would revert to its present zoning.
Trustee Shumate stated the Village should be aware of a significant

Don Hindman, 606 Wood, complimented the Village Board for their CERTIFICATE OF
efforts and wished the Trustees to know that he and his wife approve APPROPRIATENESS
the proposed project. President Bushy indicated receipt of a letter FLOOD PLAIN SPECIAL
(via FAX) from Karen Krohn, 1010 35`h Street, indicating her USE (3824 York Road
opposition to the proposed project. The Trustees have received
copies of the letter.
Village Manager Veitch highlighted the particular recommendations
of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission. All of these
recommendations were unanimous with the exception of the Zoning
Board of Appeals 5 to 1 vote of the yard variations. Rezone Parcel
Two from R-3 to B-3. Variations requested of the front yard from
100 feet to 73 feet, northern side yard from 60 feet to 40 feet, the rear
yard from 60 feet to 15 feet and the southern side yard from 60 feet to
20 feet. Grant a variance to permit a ground sign that is free standing
on a parcel smaller than three acres. Variation of size and location of
loading berth and screening in a certain manner. Proposed on
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 14 of 18 April 28, 1998 1
southern side of building to provide backing into facility for garbage
pick up. Variation to permit a 6-foot solid fence on the back property
line added to the petition during the hearing process at the request of
the property owner. The published hearing notice made provision for
a similar variation on the north lot line. This particular issue was
tabled by the Zoning Board of Appeals in the absence of testimony by
the adjoining property owners from the north.
One of the two special use issues is the drive-thru of a tenant. The
bank would be a permitted use in the B-3 District, but the drive-thru
requires a special use. A Flood Plain Special Use allows occupancy
and reconfiguration requiring compensatory flood plain storage at a
volume of 1.5 to 1 subject to engineering approval. The
compensatory storage proposed is in a dry basin at the north end of
the property. The storm water detention is proposed in a system of
large pipes beneath the parking lot.
The Plan Commission recommends a Certificate of Appropriateness
be granted to Section VIII A. of the Zoning Ordinance that sets forth
the historic Graue Mill Gateway special zoning provisions. The
requirements were met as submitted for the Certificate of
Appropriateness. At issue is the execution of the land use through
site planning, architectural design, signage and landscape design.
Village Manager Veitch indicated, if the Village Board concurs, that
the Village Attorney should be directed to draft the necessary
documents for their approval. He further explained the restructuring
• of the license agreement to provide use of the undeveloped right-of-
way of Glendale Avenue for a driveway to the home located west of
the subject property. This requires a three part agreement to allow a
portion of that driveway to be used as an exit of the proposed bank
drive-thru facility. Secondly, it would be necessary for the Village to
join with the property owner to petition the Court to vacate the
consent decree that limits the use of the property to its former use as a
service station and associated parking.
David Gooder, representing the applicant, appeared before the Village
Board to answer any questions of the Trustees. Trustee Caleel asked
if they had an agreement with the property owner to the north. Mr.
Gooder indicated the property owner has not suggested what they
would prefer. The west property owner has not appeared during the
public hearings in opposition of the proposed 6-foot solid fence. The
solid fence is in place now and the adjacent property owner wishes to
retain this fence and extend it to the northwest corner of the property
with some landscaping proposed.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 15 of 18 April 28, 1998
1 33k
Trustee Bartecki voiced a concern for the number of variations
presented by the petitioner. Mr. Gooder noted that the setbacks were
found unconstitutional twenty years ago as applied to this property
because it totally prohibited any type of development.
Trustee Savino inquired as to why the building had to be so large.
Mr. Gooder explained that the building is relatively small for the
property at .28 FAR. The size is for the need to fund the cost of all
the compensatory stormwater storage that is required by our Village
Code due to the flood plain. To utilize the property, variations are
required to build any type of structure on this site due to the flood
plain and the existing depth of the property.
John Romanelli, Realtor, spoke on behalf of the petitioner regarding
the need for this type of commercial tenant. The bank has restrictive
hours for the area residents and is the best use as a tenant.
Public comments were heard by the following residents:
Robin Zahran, 718 Acorn Hill, asked why such a large structure has
to be placed in a residential area. There are too many variations for
such a small piece of property. It could be economically feasible
without spending so much money on the structure.
Donald O'Neil, Fullersburg resident, suggested there are two
unacceptable alternatives: too large of a structure for the site, and a
piece of property that does not allow a structure to be built due to the
current zoning codes. He asked that some type of accommodation be
reached with the developer. He read a letter to the Village Board
from the Fullersburg Homeowners Association President, Judy
McDade, stating the Association's official position of preserving the
historic Gateway area and their concerns of twenty-four hour lighting
for the bank and the drive-thru exiting on the public right-of-way.
The letter was given to Village President Bushy so that it will be a
permanent record with this application.
Joseph Rush, 3721 Spring Road, agreed that the property is
unbuildable and that some relief needs to be given to the property
owner, but the present proposal is too much bulk for the size of the
property. He asked that the petitioner consider reducing the size of
the building so that less variations are required.
Blanche Bluma, 3810 Spring Road, property owner in the rear of the
proposed building, addressed the concern of the adjacent property

owner's, Dr. Carl Orig, driveway being used as proposed. She does
not believe that he is aware of the proposed usage of his driveway for
the bank facility.
Mary Ellen Mauro, Secretary of the Oak Brook Historical Society
Board, stated the Board's opposition to the proposal and asked that
the property be an open space rather than developed to retain the
historic area of the Gateway. She suggested the possibility of a grant
for open space.
Robert Waite, 3609 Madison, inquired if the Du Page Forest
Preserve's approved referendum to fund purchases of property in Du
Page County could be sought for this property. President Bushy
explained that$10,000,000 is to be spent for each District. Four
District II Commissioners would recommend to the Forest Preserve
District what properties to purchase in our district. Mr. Waite stated
this property could be used for overflow parking from the Graue Mill.
President Bushy recommended some type of action should be taken
on the proposal rather than referring it again to the Zoning Board of
Appeals or Plan Commission.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Bartecki, to reject the
proposal as presented.
Trustee Kenny commented that the Village is trying to eliminate the
existing facility and to determine an appropriate use of the site. There
should be something appropriate for this property. This particular use
is elegant but too big and could a less intensive facility be proposed.
Trustee Caleel mentioned the conversion of a residential parcel to a
commercial parcel in a residential area is very significant. Trustee
Kenny suggested that the property would not be suitable for
residential use due to its location and the commercial use would be
more appropriate in terms of size and bulk.
President Bushy suggested the necessity of a drive-thru may be
reconsidered by the petitioner and be removed due to the objections
of traffic movement. The petitioner may then request this be tabled
and come again before the Village Board for discussion.
Mr. Gooder, representing the petitioner, asked that this item be tabled
so that the petitioner may address the concerns raised and be brought
again to the Village Board for their review.

Re: 3824 York Road Properly
Dear Ms. Bushy:
Regarding the above topic, my husband, Frank, and I strongly oppose the
proposed 8800 sq. ft. building to be built on the old gas station property. We
believe that variations to zoning laws should not be granted unless absolutely
necessary.
It seems as if that area is already congested enough due to the office buildings
closer to Ogden. Traffic is already a problem during peak times.
We would attend the meeting in person, but we just arrived home from vacation
and had a prior commitment for this evening.
Cordially,
Karen Krohn

Ms . Karen Bushy, President

Oak Brook, ill . 60523
Dear Karen:
I have just been informed of a proposal to approve
rezoning of a residential R-3 parcel and the construction of
a multi-purpose commercial building at 3824 York Road.
Because of the involvement of both of our villages in the
long struggle to protect the Historic Gateway to Oak Brook
from commercial encrocachment, I felt it necessary to inform
you of my concerns on this matter and request that the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Oak Brook refer this matter
back to the Plan Commission for further study.
As I have been informed, the parcel in question will
consist of an 8 , 800 square foot building including a jewelry
store, bank,real estate office, etc. plus parking. In order
to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commissions , the
parcel would need at least 12 approved variations from the
Oak Brook Building and Zoning Codes . Based upon my personal
experience with the Village of Oak Brook in the early 1980 ' s
when my employer( Swift & Co. ) made a change in use of their
building from an R&D Center to an office building, we had an
extremely difficult time convincing the Village that we would
not be in violation of their Building and Zoning Code as far
as parking spaces were concerned. For at least one year, the
Police Dept . made regular checks of our parking lot and the
number of employees in the building. Now these two
Commissions intend to give approval for 12 variations in your
Building and Zoning Codes for this proposed building in the
Historic Gateway? If so, what has been averted at great
expense for the East side of York Road in the Historic
Gateway will be completely reversed on the West side of York
Road.
I urge you to return this subject to the Plan Commission
for more thorough study.
Sincerely,
3t.

Dear Dr. Caleel,
I am asking you, as a Trustee of the Village Board, to vote against the Rocca proposal for
3824 York Road. I have no quarrel with the design of Mr. Rocca's building. There
obviously has been much thought in the development of its harmonious design with the
Historic Gateway concept. The entire development, however, will be built at the expense
of the local residents, and that, in itself, is an egregious act.
In 1984, my husband and I bought property along Washington Street, which was
subsequently divided into three lots. We developed, and maintain on a biannual basis, a
flood water system along the eastern border of these properties. We moved into our new
home in August, 1987, immediately in the aftermath of a 100-year flood. As I stood on
our deck looking out at Salt Creek which was now lapping at our steps, I had two
thoughts:
1. Thank God for Dale Durphy and all the "trouble" he gave us
2. Thank God for the Village of Oak Brook with its stringent rules and zoning
regulations
I realized at that moment, with such clarity, that Oak Brook's stringent rules protected all
of its citizens and that, that now, included me. I felt such pride in belonging to a
community which so zealously guarded the interests and welfare of its citizens.
That the Planning Commission and the Zoning Board have granted Mr. Rocca relief from all
adherence to the zoning restrictions is an abrogation of the public trust. These zoning
restrictions were put into effect to protect the local citizenry from commercial properties.
It is embarrassing to have to state the above, but it seems as if the Planning Commission
and the Zoning Board have forgotten that crucial fact.
You were given the power by the citizenry of Oak Brook to act on their behalf. You are
entrusted with the safekeeping of all of Oak Brook's citizens, no matter where they reside
within the Village. I ask you to uphold this sacred public trust.
Respectfully,
C;;,�

SUBJECT: Rocca -3824 York Road -Zoning Map Amendment-Variations- Special Use
Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area Certificate of Appropriateness- Flood Plain
Special Use
The Plan Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals have concluded their hearings with respect
to the Rocca proposal for the redevelopment of the automotive service station property at 3824 York
Road. Both bodies have recommended across the board approval of all of the requested actions.
In addition to the above, it will be necessary for you to approve the following:
1. Entering into a new agreement with the owner of the home at 3900 York Rd. and Mr.
Rocca regarding the use of the unimproved Glendale Ave. right of way for a private
driveway.
2. Joining with Mr. Rocca and the Mitchell's in doing whatever is necessary to set aside
the court orders currently affecting the use of the property.
If it is your wish to proceed toward approval of this proposal it would be appropriate to pass
a voice motion authorizing Attorney Martens to draft the necessary documents (ordinances,
agreements, etc.)to be brought back to you for action at your May 12, 1998 meeting.
Conditional Elements:
The following conditional elements should be included in any approval of this proposal:
1. The property shall be developed in substantial accordance with the Site Plan,
Landscape Plan, and Elevation Plan as submitted.
2. The Flood Plain Special Use shall be subject to final engineering approval and
include requirements for maintenance of the stormwater management facilities.

For a detailed review of this proposal, please see my memo to the Plan Commission and Zoning
Board of Appeals on March 11, 1998 (page 11-11 d of this file).
Comment
We have not received any comments from either of the abutting residential property owners and
they were notified as part of our notification procedure. Based on testimony of the petitioner, the
property owner to the west would like to see a six (6')foot solid fence along the abutting lot line. I
have discussed the proposal with the son of the owner of the property to the north (Mr. Greco) but,
as of now, have received no further comment.

RE: Rocca - 3824 York Road - Zoning Map Amendment-Variations - and Special

Plain Special Use
Dear President Bushy and Board of Trustees:
The Zoning Board of Appeals at its meeting on April 7, 1998, held the required Public Hearing
regarding the Rocca proposals for the redevelopment of the property at 3824 York Rd.
The Zoning Board of Appeals had received the Plan Commission recommendation of approval.
Several citizens, primarily representing the Historical Society, testified in opposition to the
proposals on the for the following reasons:
• The variations requested were excessive.
• The building size was too large.
• The development didn't fit the intent of the Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area.
• There was an inadequate buffer to the neighboring residential homes.
• One citizen suggested that the property should be acquired by either the DuPage
Forest Preserve District or by the Oak Brook Park District.
The Zoning Board of Appeals members did not agree with these objections and noted that the
immediate neighbors, which will be most affected by the project, have not raised any objections.
The consensus of the Board was that the proposed Rocca development is an attractive solution
to the long standing distressed condition of the property that currently exists.

Ms. Karen Bushy, President '
Village of Oak Brook

Oak Brook, Illinois 60523
Dear Ms. Bushy:
The Oak Brook Historical Society board voted unanimously to oppose the
proposal to include a rezoning of the residential R-3 parcel and the
construction of a jewelry store and bank building at 3824 York Road in
the Historic Gateway.
The serious precedent of the number of the required variations requested
by the petitioner was ignored by the Oak Brook Plan Commission and the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
The portion of the parcel zoned residential R-3 has been maintained by
prior boards as a buffer between commercial and residential properties.
The owner of the operating gas station simply was given permission to
park cars on half of the R-3 parcel .
The proposed construction is EXCESSIVE for the property and certainly
NOT APPROPRIATE in the Historic Gateway. Approval of the numerous
variations requested, above all , would create very dangerous and critical
PRECEDENTS in zoning for the Village of Oak Brook.
Over recent years, a total of over $5 million has been invested on the east
side of York Road to protect the Historic Gateway from commercial encroachment.
The amount has been paid jointly by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage
County, State of Illinois and also the Villages of Hinsdale and Oak Brook.
The lands, which had been zoned commercial and were purchased, include 12.5
acres north of Salt Creek, the Schwendener property, and property lying
between the Sav-Way Liquors and the Forest Preserve.
Changing the zoning of the property at 3824 York Road from R-3 to commercial
B-3 will trigger commercial use along the length of the west side of Spring
Road in the Historic Gateway. What has been averted at great expense for
the east side of York Road in the Historic Gateway will be completely reversed
in respect to the west side of Spring Road in the Historic Gateway.
The Oak Brook Historical Society urges the Village of Oak Brook Trustees to
deny the proposal under consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary ELTlen Mauro

To Whom It May Concern:
We recently received a notice from the Oak Brook Historical Society asking us to support them in
protesting the rezoning of land at 3824 York Rd. For the last several years a dilapidated gas station and
car repair shop has been at this location. We feel that the proposed bank and jewelry store would be a
greater enhancement to the area than the current structure that exists. We support the necessary changes in
the zoning to bring about the beautification of this property.

V. ROCCA - 3824 YORK ROAD - ZONING MAP AMENDMENT- VARIATIONS AND
SPECIAL USE HISTORIC GRAUE MILL GATEWAYAREA CERTIFICATE OF
APPROPRIATENESS - FLOOD PLAIN SPECIAL USE
David Gooder, Attorney for Allen Rocca, contract purchaser of 3824 York Road, reviewed the
background and history of the property. He then reviewed the proposed changes to the site
describing the building being scaled down to a residential feel with a low roof, double hung windows,
canopies and walkways. The property is the first seen or the last viewed in Oak Brook, and they want
it to identify with the Gateway area.
There currently exists a six foot fence that will be remodeled and be extend to the far west corner.
This was added to the petition at the neighbors request and they have approved the location. They
have talked to the property owner to the north and have not yet received a final statement regarding a
fence along the north side of the property.
The Village Engineer determined several years ago that part of the property was located in the flood
plain. Earlier it had been classified as totally out of the flood plain. The proposal involves a total
removal of the former service station and all accessory facilities. The new structure will be an
attractive two-story business building with a stone exterior and a parking lot in front of the building. It
also includes providing all the stormwater storage required by the Village, by a combination of
underground piping under the parking area in the front of the building and a detention basin at the
north end of the property that wraps around the west side of the property.
The ground floor of the building will have a drive-in bank and jewelry store, and the second floor will
have professional offices. The subject property is located on a busy street, across from the Sav-Way
Liquor store, and just north of office buildings and a McDonald's. North of the property there is a
vacant strip of land, property owned by the Forest Preserve District, including the Graue Mill. On the
west side of Spring Road are several residential homes and the Village Gate Tavern, followed by
more residential homes.
The property consists of two lots. Hawk noted that the north lot has not had a structure on it in recent
years, but is approved under the Court orders for accessory parking to the service station.
Bob Mifflid, Architect, reviewed the issues on the property. The property is at the very beginning of
town, a gateway into Oak Brook. It is located in a historic area, and the owner was seeking a
traditional commercial building. The two-story brick and masonry building with wood accents was
designed to be compatible to the kind of issues that are being developed in the historic district. He
reviewed the design and uses of the building. It will house Rocca Jewelry and a full service bank with
two drive-in teller stations on the first floor. The second floor will be office space that is accessible to
a centrally located atrium tower for use when the other businesses are not open. They are proposing
to replace an existing fence with a new wood fence at the rear of the property. Hawk noted that the
fence along the west and north end was not part of the original plan, but was added to the plan to
address possible concerns of the two neighbors.
Gooder noted there is a driveway on Glendale Avenue that is a right-of-way owned by the Village that
is used by the property owner by way of agreement with the Village. The bank drive-in will exit onto
Glendale and will have to be shared with the property owner.
Hawk clarified that the driveway would have to be increased to handle two-way traffic. The driveway
exists by an agreement with the Village to allow the property to the west (3900 York) to maintain a
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes April 7, 1998
5 ��
private driveway on a public right of way. To his knowledge the Village has no intent to improve the
Glendale Avenue right of way, it dead ends shortly to the west of the home. Without the right of way
the property (3900 York) would have been land locked. The solution to the problem was to allow the
property owner to make use of the right of way for a private driveway. Some form of three-party
agreement would be necessary between the property owners and the Village regarding the existence
and maintenance of the driveway.
Robert Fleck, Landscape Architect described the present landscape. The property is dominated by
buck thorn, which is the number one enemy of the forest preserves. It also has box elder and
Siberian elm which are all considered to be weed species that grow and die very fast. They plan to
remove and dominate the landscape with white pine, swamp white oak and red oak trees. Most of
the landscaping is along the southern part of the property and around the parking lot.. All Village
requirements will be met for caliper size and hedge plantings.
Jerry Miskovic, Laser Consulting Engineers, said the property is approximate .76 acres and there is
flood plain on the site. The flood elevation takes up about 50% of the lot. They are seeking to move
the flood plain farther to the north creating a flood plain detention basin that would provide the 1.5
compensatory storage as required. The stormwater management detention required for the site will
be under the parking lot in a 48" pipe. The flooding on the site does not necessarily occur at the time
of the heavy storms. It is a back flow system from Salt Creek where the water backs up through the
storm system and then comes in and floods the area. The condition will not be any different from
what it is today. They will not be raising any surrounding flood waters. The flood plain will remain at
the same elevation. The parking lot will be two feet above and the building will be three feet above
high water. They feel this stormwater management is viable and would work. It will not create
hazards or problems to people in the area. There will also be no damage to the building from the
flood plain.
Dave Gooder reviewed the zoning requests and believes they have met all the standards of the
Ordinance and the requests do not create danger or difficulty for the people or property in the area.
They are necessary because the property owner cannot yield a reasonable return on the property.
The physical shape, surroundings and topography create a hardship on the property owner. The
plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and would not be applicable to other properties in
the Village. Granting the requests will not alter the essential character of the locality.
1. Rezone Parcel Two from R-3 to B-3. The parcel is less than ten thousand square feet
and would make it one of the smallest residential lots in Oak Brook and could not meet
any of the setbacks. The parcel will be a single zoning lot under single ownership and
control.
2. Variations requested:
a. To reduce the front setback from 100' to 73', the north side from 60' to 40', the
west side from 60' to 15 feet, and the rear yard setback from 60' to 20', per the
petition submittals
b. The ground sign, will comply with the symbol required by Graue Mill/Gateway Area
(based on bronze letters compatible with the building sign) illuminated by
landscape lights.
c. Off street loading berth locations.
d. Six foot solid wood fence on north and west boundary.

3. Special Use bank drive-in requires a Special Use Permit.
4. Flood Plain Special Use Permit will meet all the requirements of the Ordinance.
5. Certificate of Appropriateness since they are in the Historic Graue Mill/Gateway Area. The
Gateway development plan includes the site plan, landscape plan as well as design of the
building.
The request to rezone Parcel Two to B-3 is necessary to provide additional parking and the economic
value to support the cost of construction and maintenance. Not allowing the change diminishes the
property value and prohibits any development of the property at all.
Member Aldini questioned if there were any alternative plan. Gooder said that this is the only plan.
Based on the economics, it does not make financial sense because of the number of costs, price of
the property, it would not be economically feasible. They spent five months reviewing the property
and preparing a design to fit the site.
No one in the audience spoke in support of the petition.
Chairman Davis asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request.
Mary Ellen Mauro, Secretary of the Oak Brook Historical Society, read a letter from the society stating
they object to the request. They feel it sets a precedent, is excessive, not appropriate for the
Gateway Area, and allows the commercial area to encroach the residential area.
Judy McDade, President of Fullersburg Woods Homeowners Association, read a letter in opposition
to the development. She cited the intent of the Zoning Ordinance, the present state of the structure
as "an eyesore" is the present owners fault. The bulk of the building should be reduced. Setback
variations are too close to neighboring property owner. She said that the Gateway Ordinance was
established to protect the area. She said there is too much building here for this small lot. She
believes this would be an over development of the site and not appropriate for this area.
O'Neil, resident questioned the water retention of the pipes, and felt a 6' wall was inappropriate.
Romanelli answered that the residential neighbor to the west requested the fence and the both
neighbors to the west and north of the property have no objections to the plan.
Mary Ann Levin, 3815 Washington, said she lives behind the development and they have water
management problems in the area. She questioned how the water was going back into Salt Creek
and not into their system.
Jerry Miskovic, responded by saying, the structure is in the right of way of York Road, and the system
picks up water in area. Most flooding occurs later . They are on the fringe and not taking it lightly.
They are trying to keep the area dry on top, they are keeping the water underground to keep it in and
out without problems to the neighbors.
Member Hasen questioned if the development will impact the residents. Miskovic, responded that it
would not.
Patrick Mauro, 38 Mockingbird, challenged Gooder that there are other uses for the property. The
property could be used by DuPage County or the Forest Preserve District. He also suggested the
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes April 7, 1998
;/X1 7 A566
Oak Brook Park District could be interested in purchasing the property. He said that Tom Hawk
should have contacted and consulted with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and the
Oak Brook Park District to see if they would like to buy the property.
Chairman Davis interrupted the resident's testimony when he appeared to be verbally attacking, staff,
the property owner, the petitioner, and petitioner's attorney.
Joe Rush, former Trustee, said that the proposed development is attractive and in the proper setting
would be very attractive. He felt the size of the project was too large for the site and too many
variations are being requested. He agreed to develop the site some relief would be necessary. He
felt it would be counter productive to allow commercial development on this site. He felt granting the
relief would be a mockery of the Zoning Ordinance and it would be opening the doors to allow the
commercial creep up York Road.
There was a general consensus among the Members that this appeared to be a very good solution to
the many problems on this piece of property. With and F.A.R. of .28, it is not an intensive use of the
property.
Member Aldini stated that he felt the rear setback requested was too small.
Member Ascher noted that he considered all the factors presented. The impact of this request would
be directly on the neighbors adjacent to the property. The neighbors have not spoken against the
proposal and none of them have sent a written objection or chosen to appear to object, even though
they have been notified and are aware of the proceedings.
Member Ascher moved, seconded by Member Shah, to recommend for approval the rezoning of
Parcel Two from R-3 to B-3 in substantial accordance with the plans as submitted: The Petitioner has

Re: Alan Rocca request for rezoning, variations and special use
of the property at 3824 York Road.
The Board of Directors of the Fullersburg Woods area Association
would like to go on record opposing the development as presented.
This is indeed one of the most complex applications ever to be
presented to Oak Brook. Please recall to mind the intent of the
zoning ordinance to control development in an orderly manner.
This is especially delicate when business abuts residential and
when a historic district is involved. There is no question that
the existing structure is an eyesore. This is of course really
no one' s fault except the present owner. It is also
understandable that some reasonable relief will have to be given
if the property is to be developed. But to grant all of the
relief that is being requested, that is essentially a variation
of every requirement in the ordinance, would be in effect to
trash the Oak Brook Zoning Ordinance and make it a useless
document . This would be very precedent setting for future
developers .
Here are some specific comments regarding the application and
testimony given at the Plan Commission Meeting of March 16, 1998 :
1. The point was made that the Floor Area Ratio for this
project is only 0 . 28 when the B-3 district allows an
F.A.R.of 1 . 2 . Please remember that the 1 . 2 F.A.R. assumes
that all of the set backs and yards are being met . When
variations are made of the magnitude requested, the the bulk
of the building should be reduced.
2 . Reducing the rear yard to only 15 or 20 feets falls far
short of the required 60 feet . The adjacent residential
property will not have the benefits of distance afforded
other residential developments in our village. This will
have a negative effect on the noise and odor -levels
experienced by the residence. Distance is an important
factor.
3 . With regard to the ground sign, Mr. Gooder' s letter
states that the building will be set back 130 to 140 feet
from the Roadway. This is hardly possible since the lot
depth is only about 142 feet deep. Furthermore, the
existing building which everyone complains about is very
visible form York Road.
4 . Rezoning the lot to the north of the gas station form
residential to B-3 would be inconsistant with the court
decree that only allowed the station to use half of the
property for parking. The other half was required to be
heavily screened as a buffer for the residence to the north.
5 . The statement was made that cost per foot of the project
would be among the most expensive ever developed in Oak
Brook. Spending more money than someone else should hardly
be the basis for zoning relief.
In conclusion, this is a delicate zoning area . Previous Boards
hacve been concerned about the possiblity of the Hinsdale
commercial buildings creeping up York Road. That is why the
Village of Oak Brook, along with the Village of Hinsdale, and the
DuPage County Forest Preserve invested about $11, 000, 000 in the
properties north and south of the Salt Creek for open space.
Allowing too much development on this parcel will undermine the
work of your predecessors .
Thank you for your careful consideration of these comments .

Dear Oak Brook Zoning Board Member.
I am writing each member of the Oak Brook Zoning Board to request that the zoning
beard abide by current zoning guidelines regarding the 3824 York Road Proposal. The
Oak Brook Planning Commission's recent recommendation to The Oak Brook Village
Board that the Village Board approve this proposal, based simply on a planning
commission member's statement that the property is an "eyesore", is a flagrant act of
shirking the responsibility Placed with the planning board by the Citizens of Oak Brook
Therefore, the zoning board should not simply"rubber stamp "the recommendations of
the Planning board, "eyesore" or not. If the proposal for the property does not meet
current zoning cedes for the property without vartance, no building should be built on the
property at :3824 York Road
Sincerely,
seph C Nessel

Mr. Champ Davis, Chairman

Oak Brook, Illinois 60523
Dear Mr. Davis:
The Oak Brook Historical Society board voted unanimously to oppose the
proposal to include a rezoning of the residential R-3 parcel and the
construction of a jewelry store and bank building at 3824 York Road
in the Historic Gateway.
The serious precedent of the number of the '�equired variations requested
by the petitioner was ignored by the Oak Brook Plan Commission.
The portion of the parcel zoned residential R-3 has been maintained by
prior boards as a buffer between commercial and residential properties.
The owner of the operating gas station simply was given permission to
park cars on half of the R-3 parcel .
The proposed construction is EXCESSIVE for the property and certainly
NOT APPROPRIATE in the Historic Gateway. .Approval of the numerous
variations requested, above all , would create very dangerous and critical
PRECEDENTS in zoning for the Village of Oak Brook.
The Oak Brook Historical Society board urges the Zoning Board of Appeals
to deny the proposal under consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary Ullen Mauro

RE: Rocca- Mitchell - 3824 York Road
Zoning Map Amendment. Variations, and Special Use-Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area
Certificate of Appropriateness- Flood Plain Special Use
Dear President Bushy, Board of Trustees and Zoning Board of Appeals:
The Plan Commission, at their meeting on March 16, 1998, concluded their public hearing and review of
the Rocca proposals for the redevelopment of the property at 3824 York Road.
There was public testimony opposing the plan based on the size of the proposed building and variations to
the Zoning Ordinance.
It was the consensus of the Plan Commission that the existing condition of the property was deplorable
and that this proposal represented an attractive solution.
The Plan Commission, by a vote of 7 to 0, passed a motion recommending approval of the overall plan
and specifically the following:
1. The rezoning of Parcel 2 from R-3 to B-3.
2. The Special Use for the Bank Drive-in.
3. The Flood Plain Special Use based on final engineering approval.
4. The issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
This motion was based on the concurrence of the members that the necessary standards as contained in
the Plan Commission Rules, Zoning Ordinance, and Chapter 10 of the Village Code were satisfied for the
Map Amendment, Special Use, Certificate of Appropriateness, and the Flood Plain Special Use.
Very truly yours,
NOTE: Chairman Aktipis has reviewed and verbally approved the content of
this letter pending his signature. The signed original will be placed in
the official file upon receipt.

GCCAi 3824 YORK ROAD - ZONINGMAPAMENDMENT- VARIATIONS - AND
ECIAUSE - HISTORIC GRADE MILL GATEWAY AREA CERTIFICATE OF
APPROPRIATENESS - FLOOD PLAIN SPECIAL USE
David Gooder, Attorney for Allen Rocca, contract purchaser of 3824 York Road, reviewed the
background and history of the property. He passed out pictures to the Members of the property
as it exists showing the boarded up gas service station. He then passed out a picture of the
proposed development. The service station has not been used for approximately 5 years.
The Village Engineer determined several years ago that a great part of the property was
located in the flood plain. Earlier it had been classified as totally out of the flood plain. The
proposal involves a total removal of the former service station and all accessory facilities. The
new structure will be an attractive two-story business building with a stone exterior and a
parking lot in front of the building. It also includes providing all the stormwater storage required
by the Village, by a combination of underground piping under the parking area in the front of the
building and a detention basin at the north end of the property that wraps around the west side
of the property.
The ground floor of the building will have a drive-in bank and jewelry store, and the second floor
will have professional offices. The subject property is located on a busy street, across from
the Sav-Way Liquor store, and just north of office buildings and a McDonald's. North of the
property there is a vacant strip of land, property owned by the Forest Preserve District,
including the Graue Mill. On the west side of Spring Road are several residential homes and
the Village Gate Tavern, followed by more residential homes.
The property consists of two lots. Hawk noted that the north lot has not had a structure on it in
recent years, but is approved under the Court orders for accessory parking to the service
station.
Bob Mifflin, Architect, reviewed the issues on the property. The property is at the very
beginning of town, a gateway into Oak Brook. It is located in a historic area, and the owner was
seeking a traditional commercial building. The two-story brick and masonry building with wood
accents was designed to be compatible to the kind of issues that are being developed in the
historic district. He reviewed the design and uses of the building. It will house Rocca Jewelry
and a full service bank with two drive-in teller stations on the first floor. The second floor will be
office space that is accessible to a centrally located atrium tower for use when the other
businesses are not open. They are proposing to replace an existing fence with a new wood
fence at the rear of the property. Hawk noted that the fence along the west and north end was
not part of the plan, but was encouraged by the two residential neighbors.
Gooder noted there is a driveway on Glendale Avenue that is a right-of-way owned by the
Village that is used by the property owner by way of agreement with the Village. The bank
drive-in will exit onto Glendale and will have to be shared with the property owner.
Hawk clarified that the driveway would have to*be increased to handle two-way traffic. The
driveway exists by an agreement with the Village to allow the property to the west (3900 York)
to maintain a private driveway on a public right of way. To his knowledge the Village has no
intent to improve the Glendale Avenue right of way, it dead ends shortly to the west of the
home. Without the right of way the property (3900 York) would have been land locked. The
solution to the problem was to allow the property owner to make use of the right of way for a
private driveway. Some form of three-party agreement would be necessary between the
property owners and the Village regarding the existence and maintenance of the driveway.

Robert Fleck, Landscape Architect described the present landscape. The property is
dominated by buck thorn, which is the number one enemy of the forest preserves. It also has
box elder and Siberian elm which are all considered to be weed species that grow and die very
fast. The plan to remove and dominate the landscape with white pine, swamp white oak and
red oak trees. Most of the landscaping is along the southern part of the property and around
the parking lot. All Village requirements will be met for caliper size and hedge plantings.
Jerry Miskovic, Laser Consulting Engineers, said the property is approximate .76 acres and
there is flood plain on the site. The flood elevation takes up about 50% of the lot. They are
seeking to move the flood plain farther to the north creating a detention basin that would
provide the 1.5 compensatory storage as required. The detention required for the site will be
under the parking lot in a 48" pipe. The flooding on the site does not necessarily occur at the
time of the heavy storms. It is a back flow system from Salt Creek where the water backs up
through the storm system and then comes in and floods the area. The condition will not be any
different from what it is today. They will not be raising any surrounding flood waters. The flood
plain will remain at the same elevation. The parking lot will be two feet above and the building
will be three feet above high water. They feel this stormwater management is viable and would
work. It will not create hazards or problems to people in the area. There will also be no
damage to the building from the flood plain.
Dave Gooder reviewed the zoning requests and believes they have met all the standards of the
Ordinance and the requests do not create danger or difficulty for the people or property in the
area. They are necessary because of the impact of and the size of the property:
1. Rezone Parcel Two from R-3 to B-3. The parcel is less than ten thousand square
feet and would make it one of the smallest residential lots in Oak Brook and could
not meet any of the setbacks. The parcel will be a single zoning lot under single
ownership and control.
2. Variations requested:
a. to the setbacks per petition submittals
b. to the ground sign, will comply with the symbol required by Graue
Mill/Gateway Area (based on bronze letters compatible with the building sign)
illuminated by landscape lights
c. loading berth locations
d. fence six foot solid wood fence on north and west boundary
3. Special Use bank drive-in requires a Special Use Permit
4. Flood Plain Special Use Permit will meet all the requirements of the Ordinance.
5. Certificate of Appropriateness since they are in the historic Gateway/Graue Mill
Area. The Gateway development plan includes the site plan, landscape plan as well
as design of the building.
Chairman Aktipis asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request.
Mrs. Frank Mitchell, owners of the property said they are in favor of it.
Chairman Aktipis asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request.
Joe Rush said that in 1987 when it flooded the water was waist deep. It looks like a nice
building, but it strikes him as putting ten pounds of potatoes in a five pound bag. With the
setback requirements, one of the most important is the 60 feet back from residential property.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes - MARCH 16, 1998

He has not heard that it will be met. The part of the property to the north was meant to be a
buffer and was never used for gasoline.purposes. To include it as commercial is allowing it to
creep into this area. When he was on the Board they were concerned about the whole area.
He has been trying to protect the residential area for forty years. He believes it should be
denied.
Audrey Mueschler, representing the Oak Brook Historical Society, objects to the request. She
said that the Gateway Ordinance was established to protect the area. She said there is too
much building here for this small lot. She believes this would be an over development of the site
and not appropriate for this area.
Mrs. Frank Mitchell noted that there has never been any water on the property. Furthermore,
the property was not located in the flood plain when they purchased the property.
Dave Gooder commented that B-3 zoning allows for a 1.2 Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.), they will
using only .26 F.A.R.
Chairman Aktipis said that he believes this is a special parcel with special conditions attached
to it. If exceptions are not granted, it cannot be developed. Dave Gooder added that it would
be impossible to build anything on the property and meet the Code.
There was a general consensus among the Members that this appeared to be a very good
solution to the many problems on this piece of property. It is not an intensive use of the
property bordering the residential area.
Member Pequet added that for nineteen years he has been driving by the property daily and it
had become an eyesore for the Village. He said it is fortunate to have someone seriously deal
with so many issues on this parcel. He knows there have been many ideas for this site and this
plan appears to be the most viable to come along and believes this will be a good addition to
the area.
Chairman Aktipis said that it appears the Petitioner has met necessary standards contained in
the Plan Commission Rules, Zoning Ordinance, and Chapter 10 of the Village Code was satisfied
for the Map Amendment, Special Use, Certificate of Appropriateness, and the Flood Plain Special
Use.
Member Pequet moved, seconded by Member Tappin, to recommend for approval the overall
plan and specifically the following:
1. The rezoning of Parcel 2 from R-3 to B-3.
2. The Special Use for the Bank Drive-in.
3. The Flood Plain Special Use based on final engineering approval.
4. The issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 7 - Aktipis, Allen, Girgis, Goel, Mueller, Pequet. and Tappin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Motion Carried.

As you can see by reviewing the subject of this memo, this may be one of the most complex
petitions ever processed in Oak Brook. In addition, underlying the above issues there are Court
Injunctions in place that further regulate the property that will have to be set aside.
For a more detailed description of the actions being sought, please look over the Rider A
attachment to the Application (Pages A-2 and A-3 of the Petition File).

0 1992 - Underground Storage Tanks removed. As a result of inspections during tank
removal, the property was identified by the IEPA as a leaking underground
storage tank site. The property continued in use as an automotive repair
facility.
0 1992 to1996 - Site remediation efforts to satisfy Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency.
0 1994 - Repair activities terminated. The facility has been vacant since.
0 1996 - IEPA issues a letter indicating no further remediation is necessary.
0 1997 -Alan Rocca enters into a contract with the Mitchell's for the purchase of the
property.
0 1998 - February 16 - Petition was filed for the redevelopment of the property.
Property Description
The property is located on the west side of York Road at the southernmost boundary of the Village.
The property consists of two (2) parcels with a total area of approximately 31,100 square feet. The
property is irregularly shaped. The front lot width is 257'. The rear lot width is 181'. The lot depth is
142'.
Along the south lot line is the unimproved 50' Glendale Avenue right-of-way which is used under
agreement by the home to the west for a private driveway. The Village has no plans for improving
this right-of-way. It dead ends at the west side of the home property, and is only of use by these
two properties. The Hinsdale portion of this right-of-way was vacated at some past time and the
property has been developed for office use in Hinsdale.
Adjacent land uses are as follows:
To the North (R-3) -A modest size single-family home which has been owned and occupied
by the Greco family for about fifty years.
To the West (R-3) -A single-family home that was constructed in the early 1990's. Access
to this home is via a private driveway on the unimproved Glendale Avenue right-of-
way.
To the South (Hinsdale Offices) - Unimproved Glendale Avenue and an office building in
Hinsdale.
To the East (CR, B-3, and Hinsdale Businesses) - York Road and across it, Forest Preserve
property, Sav-way Liquors, and a McDonald's that is in the Village of Hinsdale.
The property is, in part, located within the regulatory flood plain.

RE: Rocca - 3824 York Road

PETITION ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Map Amendment
The petitioner is seeking rezoning of the north parcel to B-3 to eliminate the split zoning
situation. Leaving the property with split zoning would leave two smaller properties with
essentially the same problems —a more difficult challenge than this proposal. Alternatively,
rezoning the entire property to R-3 would be possible however, in light of the court decree
and the commercial viability established over the past fifty (50) years, this may not be
defensible.
Variations -Yard Setbacks
The petitioner is seeking relief from all four yard setback requirements. Application of the
setbacks specified within the zoning, especially the one hundred foot (100') setback from
York Road, yields a site with no buildable area. There is considerable legal precedent that
such an imposition is unacceptable and reasonable relief to allow reasonable development is
warranted. The relief requested will allow development with a two-story building with
approximately 8,800 square feet of floor area. This yields a Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) of
approximately 0.28. The permitted F.A.R. in B-1 and B-3 Districts are 0.5 and 1.2
respectively. The F.A.R. permitted in an ORA-1 district is 0.45. The proposed F.A.R. is
considerably below any of these standards.
Variation -Signage
The petitioner is seeking a ground sign which in a B-3 district is not permitted for lots under
three acres in area. The Historic Gateway overlay district calls for signs to be part of and
consistent with the "architectural concept."
I believe the petitioner would be amenable to a signage plan that allows a ground sign in
return for reduced area building signage. This suggestion, if accomplished tastefully and
harmoniously is a good response to the "Historic District" concept.
Variation - Off Street Loading Berth
The Ordinance calls for a loading berth located at the rear of the building and, when facing a
residential zoning district, enclosed by an eight foot (8') high wall. The petitioner is seeking
relief to allow the very limited amount of loading activities at this development to take place
jointly with the parking in the front of the building. I concur, that due to the size and type of
occupants, the loading berth needs for this building are minimal and allowing this activity in
the front parking area should not disrupt or interfere with parking needs to any appreciable
extent.

RE: Rocca - 3824 York Road
Page 4
Variation - Fence Along the West Lot Line
At the date of this memo and apparently at the request of the homeowner to the west an
application for a variation to permit a six foot high solid fence along the west lot line has
been submitted. This will require an additional Legal Notice publication and a Public hearing
at the May 5, 1998 Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting. Consequently, the recommendation
by the Zoning Board of Appeals on the entire proposal cannot be completed until that time.
Special Use - Bank Drive-In
Banks are permitted uses in B-3 Districts and drive-ins for permitted uses are special uses in
B-3 Districts.
The planned stacking of cars for the drive-in needs to be adequate to insure minimal
[Mi disruption of the other needs of the site and to have a very high likelihood of never extending
out to any public right-of-way.
Special Use Permit or Agreement to Utilize the Glendale Avenue Right-of-Way for Exiting
from the Drive-In.
Glendale Avenue is an unimproved public right-of-way that is used by agreement for a
private drive accessing the home to the west. The petitioner does have right of access to
this right-of-way and since there is no plan to improve it by the Village, joint use by the two
property owners would seem reasonable.
Flood Plain Special Use
This is a technical issue. If the proposed plan is found to be consistent with the Flood Plain
regulations, approval is warranted.
Certificate of Appropriateness
The petitioner is requesting issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness based on the
requirements of the Historic Graue Mill Gateway overlay district. This is the most significant
request to date under these Zoning Ordinance provisions. Please review these provisions, a
copy of which is included in this file. -
The architecture of the proposed building consists of a masonry/stone facade in a dark earth
tone color, and with medium sized windows that you may consider consistent with a
prosperous, well established business use of the late 19th century. The proposed building,
in conjunction with a good signage plan and well executed landscape plan should effectively
address the Historic Gateway Area objectives.

RE: Rocca - 3824 York Road

Comment
For the past seven years, I have been talking with various people regarding the use of this property.
In almost all cases the problems of the site discouraged them from pursuing the anticipated difficult
approval process. Also, in many cases, the proposed uses were of a considerably higher impact
type such as, fast food, automobile used car lot, twenty-four hour grocery, etc. The use proposed
by Mr. Rocca, with the initial generation of low impact occupants is the best plan suggested to date.
Based on what I know regarding the land and development costs of this proposal, this development
would be amongst the most expensive per square foot of any land ever developed in the Village.
Any serious tweaking of the site plan and yard setback variations that would reduce the size of the
building, may have a serious effect on the economic feasibility of the plan.

Conclusion
If it is your wish to recommend approval of this request, it would be appropriate to include in your
motion any conditions to be imposed and your findings with respect to the Special Use and Variation
Standards in the Zoning Ordinance (see pages 1-b and 4-b of this file) and the standards for Zoning
Ordinance Amendments contained within the Plan Commission Rules and Procedures.

MEMO TO: Tom Hawk,Director of Code Enforcement
FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr.,P.E.,Village Engineer
SUBJECT: Flood Plain Special Use-Northwest Corner York Road/Glendale Avenue
About the middle of February,I received one plan sheet from Dave Gooder which apparently is the site plan
for the above stated project. About that time, I also understood that an applicant filed for a Flood Plain
Special Use and other applications. I was awaiting receipt of the file to see the breadth of the applications
before sending the sheet to RUST for their review. On March 3rd, I sent the one site plan to RUST so that
they could at least begin their review even though I had not received a file. On March 9th, I received
another copy of the site plan for my review.
Due to the timing of the above issues, only an initial review has commenced. I have been in contact with
RUST and the applicant's engineer concerning an initial meeting, to be held this Firday, in order to
ascertain the various issues involved with this particular application.

conflict with other existing ordinances, or conflict with
the intent of this article.
(fl [Conditions and Restrictions:] The zoning board of
appeals may recommend and the board of trustees may
require such conditions and restrictions upon the premises
benefited by a variation as may be necessary to comply with
the standards set forth in this section to reduce or minimize
the injurious effect of such variation upon other property in
the neighborhood, and to implement the general purpose
and intent of this article.
(g) [Insurance rates:] The village shall inform applicants
for variations that should a variation be granted to build a
structure with its lowest floor below the base flood
elevation, it could result in flood insurance premiums as
high as twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per one hundred dollars
($100.00) of insurance coverage. (Ord. No. G-217, § 2,

(1) Authority: The Board of Trustees shall decide all
applications for variations of the provisions of this
ordinance after a public hearing held before the
Zoning Board of Appeals on such notice as shall be
required by the Illinois Statutes. The Zoning Board of
Appeals shall hold public hearings upon all applica-
tions for variations and shall report its recommenda-
tions to the Board of Trustees as to whether a
requested variation would be in harmony with its gen-
eral purpose and intent, and shall recommend a varia-
tion only where it shall have made a finding of fact
specifying the reason or reasons for recommending the
variations. Such findings shall be based upon the stand-
ards prescribed in Section XIII G4 of this ordinance.
No variation shall be granted by the Board of Trustees
without such findings of fact. In the case of a
variation where the Zoning Board of Appeals fails to
recommend the variation, it can only be adopted by an
ordinance with the favorable vote of two-thirds of the
Trustees.
(2) Initiation: An application for a variation shall be in
triplicate and may be made by any governmental

filed with the Village Clerk who shall forward one
copy of such application to the Zoning Board of
Appeals for processing in accordance with applicable
Statutes of the State of Illinois and one copy to the
Board of Trustees.
(4) Standards:
(a) The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not recom-
mend a variation of the provisions of this
ordinance as authorized in this section unless it
shall have made findings of fact based upon the
evidence presented .to it on the following specific
issues that:
(1) The property in question cannot yield a
reasonable return if permitted to be used only
under the conditions allowed by the regula-
tions governing the district in which it is
located.
(2) The plight of the owner is due to unique
circumstances.
(3) The variation, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the locality.
(b) For the purpose of supplementing the above
standards, the Zoning Board of Appeals, in
making the determination whether there are
practical difficulties or particular hardships, shall
also take into consideration the extent to which
the following facts, favorable to the applicant,
have been established by the evidence that:
967
Sec. XIII OAK BROOK CODE
(1) The particular physical surroundings, shape,
or topographical conditions of the specific
property involved would bring a particular
hardship upon the owner as distinguished
from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter
of the regulation were to be carried out.
(2) The condition upon which the petition for
variation is based would not be applicable
generally to the other property within the
same zoning classification.
(3) The granting of the variation will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
- to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the property is lo-
cated.
(4) The proposed variation will not impair an
adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property, or substantially increase the danger
of fire, or otherwise endanger the public safety
or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
(5) That the purpose of the variation is not based
exclusively upon a desire to make more money
out of the property.
(6) That the alleged difficulty or hardship has
not been created by any person presently
having an interest in the property.
(c) The Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend
and the Board of Trustees may require such
conditions and restrictions upon the premises
benefited by a variation as may be necessary to
comply with the standards set forth in this section
to reduce or minimize the injurious effect of such
variation upon other property in the neighbor-
hood, and to implement the general purpose and
intent of this ordinance.
(5) Unauthorized Variations: The variation procedure
shall in no case be used to accomplish a result which

APPENDIX A—ZONING Sec. XIII
could otherwise be achieved by a rezoning of the
property involved, such as, but not limited to,
establishment or expansion of a use not permitted in a
residence district; authorizing the construction of
residences in other than residence districts; nor
authorizing other than single-family detached res-
idences in the R1, R?, R3 and R4 Districts.
(6) Re-applications: Any person, firm, or corporation
having been denied a variation to the Zoning
Ordinance respecting a specific parcel of property may
not re-apply for a like variation on said real property

report of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and without
further public hearing, may vote upon the adoption of
any proposed amendment in accordance with applica-
ble Illinois Statutes, or may refer it back to the Boards
for further consideration.
(5) Re-Applications: Any person, firm, or corporation
having been denied an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance respecting a specific parcel of property may
not re-apply for a like amendment on said real
property until the period of one (1) year has elapsed
since the denial of the application for amendment by
the President and Board of Trustees. (Ord. No. G137,
9-14-71)
(J) Special Uses.
(1) Purpose: The development and execution of the zoning
ordinance is based upon the division of the Village
into districts, within any one of which the use of land
and buildings and the bulk and location of buildings
or structures, as related to the land, are essentially
uniform. It is recognized, however, that there are
special uses which, because of their unique character,
-cannot be properly permitted in particular districts
without consideration, in each case, of the impact of
those uses upon neighboring lands and upon public
need for the particular use or the particular location.
Such special uses fall into two categories:
(a) Uses operated by public agency or publicly-regu-
lated utilities, or uses traditionally affected with a
public interest.
(b) Uses entirely private in character, but of such a
nature that the operation may give rise to unique
problems with respect to their impact upon
neighboring property or public facilities such as,
but not limited to, single-family attached and
semi-detached dwellings, horizontal condomini-
ums and other residential developments. (Ord. No.

application shall include all the information and material
required pursuant to subsections (F) and (G) of this Section
VIII-A. Such application shall be referred to the plan
commission by the president and board of trustees upon
verification of the completeness of said application. The fact
that an application for a certificate of appropriateness has
been filed shall not be cause for the building inspector to
delay the review of plans relating to the building and zoning
aspects of the project while said application is pending. The
plan commission shall thereupon fix a reasonable time,
within forty-five (45) days, for a hearing and give a written
five-day notice thereof to the applicant. Upon such hearing

Re : Petition Application for Public
Hearing of Alan Rocca re Property
at 3824 York Road
Dear Tom:
This letter will contain, first , an explanation of the
circumstances prompting the Rocca petition and, second , position
statements on the relevant factors and standards contained in the
Village Code for the requested Village action.
A. Circumstances Prompting the Petition.
The subject property averages a width from front to rear
of 142 feet . The required front yard facing York Road
is 100 feet . The required rear yard when abutting
residentially zonded property is 60 feet . Thus it is
impossible to build any kind of building authorized by
B-3 zoning which would meet the combined front and rear
yard requirements . In addition, within the last 10 years
stormwater flooding has demonstrated according to the
Village Engineer , Dale Durfey, that the elevation of
the 100 year flood will reach 645 feet which exceeds the
level of almost 50% of the property. Thus significant
regrading as well as stormwater storage facilities are
necessary. My client ' s engineers have recommended that
subsurface storage pipes be installed and that a signi-
ficant dry storage basin be constructed at the north end
of the property.
b
illage of Oak Brook
LORD, BISSELL & BROOK • eebruary 16 , 1998
Page Two
The underground pipe storage system will occupy roughly
70 feet from east to west and 165 feet from north to
south . The dry basin will occupy 35 feet from north to
south and 135 feet from east to west and will also occupy
space west of the north portion of the building.
My client ' s engineers and architects have devoted much time
to designing a space for a two-story office and retail
building west of , and the necessary automobile parking
on top of , the required network of underground 48 inch
water storage pipes .
The net result is that a building of appropriate size
must be located within 15 feet to 20 feet of the westerly
property line , 20 feet of the southerly property line,
80 feet of the easterly property line or front property
line, and 40 feet of the northerly property line. All of
which distances are less than the required yards.
The Section XI (D) requires that the property have one off-
street loading berth at least 12 feet in width and 55 feet
in length and be enclosed by a court having a wall at
least eight (8) feet hugh and be set back from a residence
district by at least 100 feet . It is not possible to meet
all of those requirements . particularly the setback.. How-
ever, a space has been provided which substantially meets
the requirements except for the setback. However the use
of such a loading berth will be infrequent since it will
be serving a small bank, a jewelry retailer and a group of
small offices.
With regard to a ground sign, it is needed because the
building will be set back a total of 130 to 140 feet
from the roadway of York Road and there are a considerable
number of trees on the properties immediately north and
south of the subject property . Thus to provide adequate
public notice , a ground sign is necessary.
Issuaace of a Special Use Permit to authorize a bank drive-
in which will be located adjacent to the southern end of
the building with adequate space for cars waiting for
service. The bank is a permitted use and "drive-in
establishments for permitted uses" are approved as Special
Uses in B-3 Districts provided that they are so designed ,
located and proposed to be operated that the public health,
safety and welfare will be protected and the Special Use
will not cause substantial injury to the value of other

property in the neighborhood in which it is to be
located .
Issuance of a Special Use Permit for use of the easterly
160 feet of the existing driveway on the public right-of-
way known as "Glendale Avenue" for ingress and egress to
and from the off-street loading berth and egress from the
bank drive-in upon condition that the owner of the subject
property bears the cost of reasonable widening of the
easterly 160 feet of the driveway and shares the cost of
required maintenance and repair on a reasonable basis with
the owner of the residential lot immediately west of the
subject property .
B. Position Statements re Relevant Factors and Standards
With regard to variations , it is thus clear that :
(1) The subject property cannot yield a reasonable
return if permitted to be used only under the
conditions allowed by the regulations governing
the district in which it is located .
(2) The plight of the owner is due to unique
circumstances .
(3) The variations , if granted , will not alter the
essential character of the locality .
There are practical difficulties and particular hardships
as is made clear by the following :
(1) The particular physical surroundings , shape, or
topographical conditions of the specific property
involved would bring a particular hardship upon
the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience
if the strict letter of the regulation were to be
carried out .
(2) The condition upon which the petition for variation
is based would not be applicable generally to the
other property within the same zoning classification.
(3) The granting of the variation will not be deter-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property or improvements in the neighborhood in
which it is located.
(4) The proposed variation will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to adjacent property, or
substantially increase the danger of fire , or other-
wise endanger the public safety or substantially
diminish or impair property values within the neighbor-
hood .
A.
LORD BISSELL & BROOK • • Village of Oak Brook
February 16 , 1998
Page Four
(5) That the purpose of the variation is not based
exclusively upon a desire to make more money out
of the property.
(6) That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not
been created by any person presently having an
interest in the property.
With regard to Flood Plain Special Use Permits , all of the
following factors must be , and will be, properly taken care
of :
(1) The danger to live and property due to increased
flood heights or velocities caused by encroachments ;
(2) The danger that materials may be swept onto other
lands , or cross-stream, upstream or downstream to
the injury of others ;
(3) The proposed water supply and sanitation systems
and the ability of these systems to prevent disease ,
contamination and unsanitary conditions ;
(4) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its
contents to flood damage and the effect of such
damage on the individual owners ;
(5) The importance of the services provided by the pro-
posed facility to the community ;
(6) The requirements of the facility for a waterfront
location;
(7) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing
development and development anticipated in the
foreseeable future ;
(8) The relationship of the proposed use to the compre-
hensive plan and floodplain management program for
the area;
(,9) The safety of access to the property in times of
flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles ;
(10) The expected heights , velocity, duration, rate of
rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters
expected at the site; and
(11) Such other factors which are relevant .
C. Issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness under Section
VIII-A of the Village Zoning Ordinance to permit construction
and landscaping in compliance with the Historic Graue Mill
Gateway Area requirements .
The Applicant has filed the following materials to justify
the issuance of such a Permit ;
