The proposed residences will be 3-story units, with an optional 4th story (with no overall height increase), and an attached two car garage. Access to the development is provided via a private drive with two entrance/exit points at Plank Road. Nine guest parking spaces are available, with four guest spaces provided off-street and five guest spaces provided on-street. The proposal requires annexation of the subject property into the City of Naperville, rezoning of the property to R3A (Medium Density Multiple-Family Residence District) upon annexation, approval of a preliminary plat of subdivision, a variance to allow an encroachment in the required rear yard, and a variance to allow the building height to exceed 35’.

Chirico opened Public Hearing at 8:16 p.m.

Whitaker explained current discussions with BNSF due to the fact that staff has requested the petitioner provide a sidewalk along both the property’s Plank Road frontage and to the west along the neighboring properties through Columbia Street. As a part of this installation, the developer will be required to obtain easements from the adjacent property owner to the west and the BNSF railroad. He explained that staff recommends installation of the proposed sidewalk connection as it will provide residents of the Columbia Park Townes development access to the Naperville Metra Station and Columbia Estates Park to the north. Whitaker explained possible alternatives if a resolution cannot be reached with BNSF regarding the cost of obtaining a license to install sidewalk.

Novack explained staff does not support the sidewalk alternatives proposed and recommends that the City Council approve the Annexation Agreement which requires Petitioner to obtain the legal right to install the sidewalk on the south side of Plank Road west from the Subject Property to Columbia Street prior to issuance of a site permit, and to install that sidewalk prior to issuance of any final occupancy permit. He discussed progress made to-date and that BNSF has yet to respond.

Council discussed the sidewalk and the objection to developing an area as an island.

Julie Johnson, Naperville, discussed the facade, speeding on Plank Road, signage on her property, and safety.

Council discussed speed limits, traffic study, risk, negotiations with BNSF, authority to build but not sell units until the sidewalk is installed.
