Butler. The first building was erected on the current property in 1968 and since that
time, the church has grown along with several redevelopments and improvements,
which have been welcomed by the neighbors and community.
The petition is to subdivide the property in order to sell the southern -most portion of
the south parking lot. The church no longer needs the space and it would be a gift to
the neighbors to have a house built on the property. It would also be a benefit to the
village for taxing purposes.
Mr. Morrissey reviewed a PowerPoint presentation showing the proposed final plat
for the two -lot subdivision. The entire property consists of approximately 23.3657 -
acres is located in the R-2 zoning district. Proposed Lot 1 would consist of 21.7271 -
acres and contain the church and structures. Lot 2 would consist of 1.638 -acres, and
would exceed the one -acre minimum requirement of the R-2 district. Lot 2 meets the
requirements for a single-family lot. The church intends to list the residential lot for
sale to the public. There were no requests for any variations.
The western boundary of the property is adjacent to Salt Creek and a proposed
Declaration of Easement for Site Run Off Storage is included and was reviewed by
the Village Engineer. At the time the property is developed the owner must comply
with all County and Village stormwater detention and flow regulations.
There is a 40 -foot separation between proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2. The church will
add additional landscape screening along Lot 1 to create privacy from the parking lot
and will be consistent with the landscaping previously approved by the Village in
2015.
They did not receive any negative response to the resident letter that was sent and
have received favorable responses from neighbors of the Robin Hood Ranch
Subdivision for the proposed subdivision and expressed appreciation for the way the
new parking lots with the screened landscaping have turned out.
Member DiBemardo asked for clarification that the front yard setback was 50 -feet.
Mr. Morrissey replied that it was.
Member Doyle believed the subdivision would be well received by most of the
residents in the Robin Hood Ranch subdivision since it would eliminate any
additional parking in the lot.
Member Wilczak asked if there were any flooding issues on proposed Lot 2.
Mr. Morrissey responded that there were not any flooding issues and that the V3
engineers and the Village Engineer had discussions that did not raise any issues and
all of the technical details were addressed to the satisfaction of the village's engineer.

Member Hasan asked who would be responsible for the cost of the landscape
screening.
Mr. Melvin responded that a tree line exists along the boundary that more than
shades the parking lot. However, they are planning to install additional code
compliant landscaping on their lot. He added that the 40 -foot separation between the
two lots was intentionally left open to allow pedestrians access along their lot to the
bike path along Salt Creek and York Road. There is currently a flooding issue along
the Salt Creek bike path (south of the property) and they will work with Fullersburg
to try to help alleviate the problem with the flooding on the bike path.
Motion by Member Hasan, seconded by Member DiBemardo to recommend
approval of the request for a final plat for the 2 -lot subdivision subject to final
Engineering approval. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 — Members DiBemardo, Doyle, Hasan, Iyer, Wilczak and
Chairwoman Tropinski
