1607 as it Relates to a Revised Site Plan with a Stand-Alone ATM for the Planned Development
Located at 1717 22nd Street; amended to add a provision that the permit will not be issued until the
landscaping plan has been modified, completed and approved by the Village Manager as permitted
under the Planned Unit Development, Chapter 15 of the Village Code
Motioned to Approve: Trustee Manzo
Seconded By: Trustee Nagle
Trustee Tiesenga explained that the Plan Development Commission narrowly approved the proposed
change with a list of conditions and a written dissent arguing the stand-alone ATM presents a safety issue.
Concerns regarding the landscaping and the exposed utilities was also expressed. Trustee Tiesenga
mentioned that someone who was going to lease space from the development applied for a billboard to be
installed over I-88 which would be in violation of Oak Brook’s sign ordinance.
Trustee Manzo spoke in agreement with comments made by Trustee Tiesenga, and modified the
ordinance with a friendly amendment by including a provision disallowing permit approval prior to the
completion of landscaping approved by Village Manager Summers.
Trustee Jain voiced concern regarding whether there was a logical reason to install the ATM and
questioned if the ATM contributes to the experience. Trustee Jain stated that the Village would be
acquiring additional risks with a stand-alone ATM without any type of return, especially since the world
is going towards digital banking. He also stated that the risks to the community is our business.
President of GW Properties, The Overlook, Mitch Goltz, pointed out that the landscaping plan has been
approved by the Village; however, the installation has not been completed along the street due to weather
conditions, vendor warranties, and utility conflicts. He elaborated on the updated landscaping plan that
has been approved and the anticipated completion timeframe. He addressed Trustee Manzo’s comments
regarding the permit and ensured that the landscaping would meet the Village’s standards. Additionally,
Mr. Goltz addressed safety concerns by sharing examples of various locations of the stand-alone ATMs.
He responded to questions, comments, and concerns from the Board.
Development Services Director Von Drasek added that the Village holds a financial guarantee associated
with the permit that would require all the landscaping to be installed as part of the site development.
President Herman expressed his thoughts and opinions regarding the safety surrounding the project and
the landscaping concerns. President Herman thanked Mr. Goltz for purchasing a building that was out of
business and turning a parcel that was not generating revenue to the village into one that will generate a
lot of revenue.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 10 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 11, 2023
Village Attorney Dinolfo confirmed that the proposed friendly amendment, as stated, is acceptable and
can be voted on directly.
Trustee Nagle commented that Mr. Goltz went through the PUD process and built what the Village Board
approved. Mr. Goltz assumed the risk, used his money and Oak Brook benefits from having the
additional restaurants, retailers and the tax revenue. Trustee Nagle mentioned that villages want
developers like Mr. Goltz to invest in their towns.
Village Manager Summers asked the Board to clarify the requested revisions to the landscaping plan prior
to his approval, focusing on the aspect of aesthetics to the surrounding buildings.
He asked Police Chief Strockis if the LPR cameras had been integrated with FUSUS to ensure the safety
of this location surrounding the project.
