EXHIBITS
Location Map; Proposed Salt Storage Building site plan
CHARACTER OF THE AREA
The site is presently occupied by the Village of Lemont's Public
Works Building. There has been some residential development
activity to the east (Athen Knolls) and north (Abbey Oaks) in
recent years, though most of the adjacent land remains rural in
character. A seasonal market occupies the 3 -acre parcel adjacent
to the east.
HISTORY
The Lemont Public Works Building was built to replace the older
downtown facility, which was razed last year to make way for a
commuter parking lot expansion. Recently the Village selected the
subject property to house a new salt storage building. Village
staff advised that the present zoning is inappropriate for the use
and that a map amendment should precede any new construction on the
subject parcel.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The Village proposes a B -3 Commercial District zoning
classification for this site. The only development proposal to
speak of is the planned 35 by 40 foot salt storage building, which
is an accessory structure to the existing Public Works garage and
offices. In the B -3 Commercial District, "Garages, storage, or
off - street parking lots and structures, commercial or municipal"
are uses permitted by right.
PUBLIC RESPONSE
Staff have not received any public comments or questions regarding
this request.
EVALUATION
Though "Public land and buildings" are permitted by right in the
R -1 Single - family District, the existing lot and structure cannot
meet the minimum lot area (3 acres), lot width (250 feet), front
yard (50 feet), and side yard (50 feet) requirements in the R -1.
Staff recommends a B -3 Commercial classification to: a) Bring the
existing structure into zoning compliance; b) Make allowance for
the salt storage needs of the community; and c) Zone the land in a
manner consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan, which
recommends future commercial land use at the southwest corner of
Archer and 127th Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the zoning map amendment from R -1 Single - family
Residence District to B -3 Commercial District.

The meeting of the Lemont Planning Commission of the Village of
Lemont was held on Tuesday, August 10, 1993 at the Village Hall.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by the Chairman,
Richard Diaz. The following members were present: Eileen
Cattoni, Virginia Connelly, Terry Duffy, John Miller and Ellen
Pearson. Also present were the following staff: Tim Teddy, Jeff
Clark and Lisa Kean.
PUBLIC HEARING
A motion was made by Mrs. Cattoni and seconded by Mr. Duffy to
open the Public Hearing. Motion carried 5 -0.
A. Public Works Building
Request for zoning map amendment from R -1,
Single Family Residence to B -3 Commercial District
Mr. Teddy stated that the property is located at 14574 127th
Street, west of Archer. Avenue and 127th Street. The parcel is
improved with the Village Public Works building that has been
there for several years. It is still zoned R -1 Single- Family
Residence. Mr. Teddy stated that this parcel was annexed but
never rezoned. R -1 only allows lots of a minimum of 3 acres; a
side yard minimum of 50 feet; lot width is a minimum of 250 feet;
and front yards are 50 feet in depth minimum. The existing
building and lot do not meet those standards.
The Village is considering that site for an accessory building
that would be used to store the road salt supply. The Planning
Department was told that unless the parcel is rezoned, they would
be reluctant to let the work go forward.
Mr. Teddy stated that they are proposing to rezone the property
to B -3 Commercial for the following reasons:
1. It would bring the existing building into compliance and
would allow expansion of the existing facility such as the salt
storage facility.
Page 1
2. B -3 would be consistent with the draft Comprehensive Plan.
The land -use map shows the 3 acre parcel immediately adjacent as
Commercial. Government buildings and garages are a permitted use
in the Commercial district. The lot size and setbacks would be
in conformance.
Mr. Miller noted that they have a parking problem now, and would
this salt storage building take away more of the parking spaces.
Mr. Miller also asked if there would be enough parking spaces to
meet the the requirements of the new zoning. Mr. Teddy stated
that he assumed that it would but would certainly check it out.
With no other questions or comments, Chairman Diaz asked if there
were any questions or comments from the audience:
Pat Cronin, Abbey Oaks - Feels that the Village is already stuck
for space where they are and that he gives them a place for some
storage. He feels that they need a bigger site. Suggests that
the Village purchase the 10 acres for sale from Fricker's farm.
Felt that it would be a eyesore in the middle of the winter to
have the salt truck loading up in front of Abbey Oaks. If they
purchased the 10 acre site they could load up in the back of the
site. He felt that they are putting good money into a small site
that they will outgrow in two years.
With no other questions or comments, a motion was made. -by,
Mr. Miller and seconded by Ms. Pearson to recommendto -the
Village Board that this property be rezoned from R -1 Single -
Family Residence to B -3 Commercial District. Motion carried 5 -0.
A motion was then made by Mrs. Cattoni and seconded by Mr. Miller
to close the Public Hearing.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
