RACKS- 3708 MADISON- VARIATION- SIX FOOT(6')HIGH SOLID FENCE Tim Racke introduced himself and his wife Anne as owners of the property. He told the Zoning Board that their property and situation are unique and warrant a variation to the Village Code. They are one of four properties that border an Institutional property. Of those four properties their home is less than sixteen feet to the lot line. He said that it s not like being sixteen feet from your neighbor's lot line, but like being sixteen feet from any stranger that might visit that side of the cemetery. Their home is in the closest proximity to the circulation road that circles Bronswood. There is already a nonconforming five-foot cyclone fence on the Bronswood property. There are other residential properties in Oak Brook that abut nonresidential properties and nonconforming fences have been allowed at the lot line. Their proposal will have virtually no impact on the neighbors or detract from the character of the area. The proposed fence is set back from Madison about 120 feet. It is perpendicular from Madison and cannot be seen from Madison or from the north because the house will block it. It will only be seen from Bronswood and a favorable opinion of the proposed fence was written by the President of the Bronswood Cemetery and is included in the file. Member Shah questioned the purpose of a six-foot high solid fence to screen the cemetery and whether they considered to conceal the area with landscaping such as evergreens. Racke noted that they purchased the property in August of 1995. At the time, it was the middle of summer and fully foliated. In the winter there is a very open view of the cemetery and visitors; and it is like that for six months out of the year. A lot of the homes living area is on that side of the house and a site barrier would protect them from the view of the visitors as well as their being viewed. They did look into additional landscaping and were advised by two separate landscapers that because of the shaded area by all the oak trees, it is unlikely that anything will thrive. Chairman Davis noted that the Board has been reluctant to grant fence variations with respect to height or type because they may set a precedent. One important reason for granting a variation is that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstance. Being adjacent to a cemetery where there are visitors is a unique circumstance. There are not many homes next to cemeteries in Oak Brook. It is not likely that the use of the land as a cemetery will change. There will be no detrimental effects to the general public health and welfare and the fence will not alter the general character of the area.

Background This is the fourth request for approval of a Special Use for"outdoor dining areas adjacent to restaurants" since July of 1993. The other applicants were Maggiano's, Zarrosta Grill, and J. Alexander's. We have not had any problems pertaining to outdoor dining at these three restaurants or any of the other outdoor dining areas in the Village. The conditional elements that have been applied to the three existing approved "outdoor dining areas" appear to be effective in regulating these uses.

Member Shah questioned the purpose of a six-foot high solid fence to screen the cemetery and whether they considered to conceal the area with landscaping such as evergreens. Racke noted that they purchased the property in August of 1995. At the time, it was the middle of summer and fully foliated. In the winter there is a very open view of the cemetery and visitors; and it is like that for six months out of the year. A lot of the homes living area is on that side of the house and a site barrier would protect them from the view of the visitors as well as their being viewed. They did look into additional landscaping and were advised by two separate landscapers that because of the shaded area by all the oak trees, it is unlikely that anything will thrive. Chairman Davis noted that the Board has been reluctant to grant fence variations with respect to height or type because they may set a precedent. One important reason for granting a variation is that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstance. Being adjacent to a cemetery where there are visitors is a unique circumstance. There are not many homes next to cemeteries in Oak Brook. It is not likely that the use of the land as a cemetery will change. There will be no detrimental effects to the general public health and welfare and the fence will not alter the general character of the area. Member Shah questioned the rationale of the Zoning Ordinance in determining the height and type of fencing permitted in the Village. Hawk said that the height was a number adopted by the community on the basis of their own personal experience as to what they felt was an acceptable fence height. Solid fencing is judgmental by people in their determination of privacy and security values. Oak Brook permits forty-two inch high open fencing in all yards. Many communities do not allow fencing in all yards. It was a judgment by the original founders of the Zoning Ordinance.

The Petitioner has agreed to abide by a set of conditions based on previously approved Special Uses for"outdoor dining" at other Oak Brook restaurants. There was no public testimony either in favor of or in opposition to this proposal. The Plan Commission by a vote of 5 to 0 approved a motion recommending approval of the request subject to conditions listed on page A-1 of the petition file.

Motion passed. 0 Ill. STIR CRAZY CAFE OAKBROOK LLC - OAKBROOK CENTER - SPECIAL USE- OUTDOOR DINING Mary Koberstein introduced herself as attorney for the petitioner. She reviewed the proposed request and named the other restaurants that have been granted the Special Use Permit previously. She noted that this request will be in line with the standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and that the conditions imposed will be similar. When the permit is in use it will be permanently installed for the season. There is a five foot perimeter walkway and the outdoor restaurant cannot be accessed from the outside. The emergency exit gate will be used for emergency egress only. There will be no outdoor speakers for music or dancing and there will be no signage on the planters. They will comply with all Health Department regulations. PLAN COMMISSION Minutes JUNE 17, 1996 1 Ken Kouri, General Manager, Stir Crazy Cafe, described the restaurant as "create your own" Asian cuisine stir fry. He reviewed the operation of the restaurant and noted that the outdoor dining will be a nice addition to the restaurant. He said that alcohol will not be served without dinner. The outdoor dining will be an extension of the restaurant. Chairman Aktipis reviewed some outdoor dining background information for the new members. Mr. Hawk said that the conditions stipulated by the petitioner are based on those developed for Maggiano's and that they have worked effectively. Three restaurants are operating under the Outdoor Dining Special Use Permit. In a well operated and maintained establishment the outdoor dining has not generated any problems for the Village. Chairman Aktipis reviewed the proposed conditions on page A-1 of the petition file. No one in the audience spoke in favor of or in opposition to the request. Member Tappin moved, seconded by Member Mueller to recommend for approval the Stir Crazy Cafe LLC, Special Use for Outdoor Dining as requested and.subject to the conditions set forth on page A-1 of this file.

MALLOY - 11 NATOMA DRIVE - PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT - TWO- LOT SUBDIVISION Hawk notified the Members that Mr. Malloy had to be out of town and would be unable to appear at this meeting. Due to the modest nature of this two-lot subdivision request, Hawk would advise the Members of the action requested, and should there be any questions or concerns the matter could be continued to the next meeting. Hawk advised the Members that Mr. Malloy owns both lots 15 and 16 and wishes to make a minor adjustment to the interior lot between the two properties. He is seeking to move the lot line north a distance of approximately twenty feet that will allow him to incorporate the landscaping and driveway improvements that he made to his home and leaves Lot 15 unencumbered by his improvements. The Village Engineer has reviewed the plat and has advised that other than some minor adjustments the plat is in order. The action requested is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Regulations. The surveyor's representative is present to answer questions, however, if there are questions they would like to discuss with Mr. Malloy it would be appropriate to continue the matter. Chairman Aktipis questioned the Members of the Board how they wanted to proceed and they all agreed to proceed with the matter. Girgis questioned if lot 15 was vacant, except for the landscaping and Tappin questioned whether both lots will meet the minimum lot area requirements. Hawk said that the one lot was vacant and the other has a home built on it. Both lots will be zoned R-2 and meet the minimum lot area requirements. The petitioner can legitimately change the lot lines. The Plan Commission's responsibility is to see that the they comply with the Subdivision Regulations PLAN COMMISSION Minutes JUNE 17, 1996 �d�OF 04ke e �► o - o 9p�COUNT4``� VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK 1200 OAK BROOK ROAD OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60521 -2255 PHONE: 708 990-3000 FAX: 708 990-0876 MEM April 10, 1996 TO: Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals FROM. Tom Haw SUBJECT. Stir Crazy Cafe - 105 Oakbrook Center Special Use - Outdoor Dining Area Adjacent to a Restaurant This petition request is for Special Use approval of a 28-seat maximum outdoor dining area adjacent to the Stir Crazy Cafe in the Oabrook Center. Stir Crazy is located along the northwest perimeter of the Center in the area to the southwest of Sears. The proposal is similar in nature and scope to the previously approved "Outdoor dining area" for the Maggiano's and Zarrosta's Restaurants. The list of conditions submitted by the petitioner(see page A-i of this file) is based on the conditions developed for the previously approved Outdoor Dining Special Uses. This category of Special Use was established in 1993 and the Village has approved three restaurants for its-use - Maggiano's, Zarrosta's, and J. Alexander's. We have not had any problems with these outdoor dining areas. If it is your wish to recommend approval of this request, it would be appropriate to include in your motion the conditions to be imposed and your findings with respect to the Special Use Standards in the Zoning Ordinance (see page 2-b of this file).

Stir Crazy Cafe is located on the northwest side of Oakbrook Center adjoining the northwest surface parking lot area. The Oak Brook Zoning Ordinance ("Ordinance") classifies Oakbrook Center in the B-2 Regional Shopping Center District. Section VIII(D)(2)(f) of the Ordinance permits outdoor dining areas adjacent to restaurants as a special use in the B-2 District. Within Oakbrook Center, Stir Crazy Cafe occupies a comer location at the end of a group of retail tenants situated west of the Sears store. A pedestrian sidewalk adjoins the northwest and southwest sides of the restaurant. Stir Crazy Cafe proposes to use a portion of the southwest sidewalk for a twenty-eight (28) seat outdoor cafe which is proposed to operate between May 1 and October 1 each year. The cafe would be set up between April 15 and April 30 of each year and removed between October 1 and October 15 of each year. The proposed physical layout of the cafe is depicted on the Exterior Cafe Seating Plan prepared by Aumiller Younquist, P.C., dated March 8, 1996. The cafe is separated from the pedestrian walkway by a planter box wall that ranges from three to three and one half feet (3' to 3 1/2'), planter box wall which will be constructed of fire-treated wood stained to match the /• Ayes: 5 - Trustees Bartecki, Kenny, McInerney, Payovich and Savino.

He noted York Road would remain open northbound during the reconstruction project, and Spring Road is already closed southbound from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. during week days. Mrs. McDade asked that the use of emergency vehicles and school buses be exempt from access of the temporary closing of Spring Road. President Bushy commented that this proposal would come before this Board as a recommendation from staff and require a notification process to the residents of Fullersburg Woods understanding that the road would be closed to everyone. If approved by ordinance, then citations would be written for any violations. Village Manager Veitch suggested that enforcement issues need to be discussed with the Police Chief and safety measures from the Fire Chief. Trustee Payovich recommended the consideration of local traffic only signs, which do not require passage of an ordinance. These could be designated on . streets adjacent to Ogden Avenue. Mrs. McDade stated their homeowners meeting is scheduled for May 23 1996 --- in which the homeowners would be informed of the ramifications of a road closure. President Bushy explained that a hearing would be required for this type of request by the Village Board. The proposed ordinance would be placed on the agenda of the May 14, 1996 Board meeting with adoption at the May 28, 1996 Board meeting. Fullersburg Woods residents could attend the May 28, 1996 Board meeting with their comments on this request. President Bushy acknowledged the progress of the Ethnic Fest Committee with the able assistance of Village Board representative Trustee McInerney. She acknowledged Karen Martino, in the audience, who is working with the Sports Core staff requesting Embassies in the Chicagoland to participate in our Fest. The response is very exciting, and they are willing to participate. The Village is working in conjunction with School District 53 and our Park District. 4.

We have received a petition from the Stir Crazy Cafe in the Oakbrook Center for approval of a Special Use for"outdoor dining." Please refer this proposal to the Plan Commission for review and recommendation at their meeting on May 20, 1996, and to the Zoning Board of Appeals for the required Public Hearing on June 4, 1996. TRH/gp APPENDIX A—ZONING Sec. XIII 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) ?1) Special Uses. 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 pa-ticidar 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. G66, 12-19-66) 971 a. • !

(3) Initiation: An application for a special use may be made by any person, firm or corporation or by any office, department, board, bureau or commission requesting or intended to request a zoning certificate. (4) Processing. An application for a special use, in such form and accompanied by such information as shall be established from time to time by the Plan Commission, shall be filed with the Village Clerk and thereafter processed in the manner prescribed thereto- fore for applications and amendments. Special use applications may be processed simultaneously with requests for amendment of this ordinance. (Ord. No. 6-66, 12-19-66) (5) Decisions: The Village Board, upon report of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Plan Commission, and without further hearing, may authorize or deny an application for a special use in accordance with the Statutes of the State of Illinois applicable to amend- ments, or may refer it back to the Board of Appeals and the Plan Commission for further consideration. 972 s • APPENDIX A—ZONLrG Sec XIII No special use shall be authorized by the Village Board unless the special use: (a) )(of the type described in Section XIII J-1 (a) is deemed necessary for the public convenience at that location.

April 11, 1996 Mr Tom Hawk Director of Code Enforcement Village of Oak Brook 1200 Oak Brook Road Oak Brook, Illinois 60521 Dear Mr. Hawk: On behalf of the Oakbrook Center, I would like to inform you that we have approved the Stir Crazy Cafe Restaurant outdoor seating plan (dated 2/29/96) . We believe this plan is in conformance with all mall and village standards, and addresses all possible concerns. I would like the Village to consider this application at its earliest convenience, so that Stir Crazy Cafe may open the proposed outdoor dining area this coming season. I believe that this "outdoor cafe" will be a positive addition to both the Oakbrook Center and the Village of Oak Brook. Please call me if you should have any questions or require more information.

The planter box wall maintains a five foot (5') setback from the existing curb line of the pedestrian walkway. No signs would be placed on the planter boxes. The boxes will be doweled into threaded inserts in'the existing concrete walkway and weighted with sandbags for stability. Upon removal each fall, plugs will be installed into the concrete sidewalk. The outdoor cafe has been designed so that it may only be entered from the interior of the restaurant. One emergency exit gate which swings outward is located in the planter box wall directly across from the cafe entrance. All service to and from the cafe area will be through the main restaurant. One water station is proposed to be located in the outdoor cafe near the entrance. Existing building awnings on the southwest facade would remain. In addition, umbrellas would be installed in the planter box wall to provide protection for the tables located along the planter box wall. The umbrellas maintain an eight foot (8') clearance above the walkway. All outdoor cafe furniture and fixtures will be stored off-site during the off-season. The proposed conditions of operation, Exhibit B to the application, are as follows: 1. The area shall be developed and used in substantial conformity with the Exterior Cafe Seating Plan and access thereto shall be through Stir Crazy Cafe Oakbrook only. The outdoor dining area may be set up between April 15 and April 30 and may be removed between October 1 and October 15 each year the Special Use Permit is in effect. Not more than twenty eight seats are permitted in the outdoor cafe area. 2. All planter boxes delineating the dining area shall be securely mounted and weighted to provide a stable barrier. No signage (including banners) may be placed on the planters. 3. In October of each year that this Special Use Permit is in effect, all outdoor equipment, including planters, shall be removed and plugs shall be placed in any holes in the sidewalk to return the area to the condition it was in prior to outdoor dining operations. 4. The restaurant operator shall be responsible for maintaining and cleaning the outdoor area and shall comply with all applicable DuPage County Health Department requirements. 5. Not less than a five foot sidewalk area for pedestrian traffic shall be maintained at all times as indicated on the aforementioned plan. LORD, BISSELL & BROOK Mr. Thomas Hawk May 9, 1996 Page 3 6. There shall be no music, dancing or other entertainment offered within the dining area. 7. The emergency egress gate shall open out only. As the Village has recognized, outdoor cafes can be a positive addition to the Village of Oak Brook and Oakbrook Center. In this case, the conditions that are proposed to be incorporated into the special use permit for Stir Crazy Cafe are consistent with those that the Village has incorporated into other outdoor cafe special use permits, including Zarrosta Grill and Maggiano's in Oakbrook Center, and J. Alexander's Restaurant in Oak Brook Court. Given Stir Crazy Cafe's location within Oakbrook Center, there is no conflict between the proposed outdoor cafe and other businesses or pedestrian traffic. The proposed conditions of operation provide further assurance that the outdoor cafe will not interfere with or cause injury to shoppers, pedestrians or other businesses in Oakbrook Center and that it will not impact the use or enjoyment of other property in the immediate neighborhood. The design, location and proposed operations will protect the public health, safety and welfare. Adequate clearance and a stable barrier is maintained between the cafe and the curbline. Ingress and egress has been designed to eliminate interference with mall operations and to provide safe egress in case of an emergency. For all these reasons, we respectfully submit that the proposed special use satisfies the standards of the Ordinance and merits approval. Sincerely, Mary B.
