Project Summary PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Abt Electronics, requests approval of Final Site Plan Review to allow for an expansion of an existing paved area so that it may act as parking for delivery trucks. The new parking area would house eight (8) delivery vehicles. In the future, the adjacent building will be modified to act as a loading bay, but those improvements are not proposed as part of the scope of this project. BACKGROUND: The subject property is currently improved with a retail showroom, warehouse, and distribution center for a national electronics, appliance, and home furnishings store. Other improvements across the subject property include a multi-tenant shopping center, recycling center, off-street parking lot, and a retention pond. Construction of the existing retail buildings was initiated in 2000 with a subsequent parking lot expansion completed in 2003. In 2013 and 2014, Abt has expanded the warehouse and completed the necessary parking lot alterations elsewhere on the property in order to do so. The proposed improvements have part of the overall plan for the property, but until recently, Abt was unable to secure the needed property from the adjacent Wyndham hotel. Now, with the land sale complete, Abt can expand the area to be used for vehicle parking. POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS: The subject property is located in a commercial corridor surrounding by other commercial land uses and therefore no negative impacts are anticipated at this time. As of press time, staff had not received any correspondence from the public regarding the applicant s proposal. 6 6

Plan Commission Review FINAL SITE PLAN COMMENTS: The purpose of the Site Plan Review process is to consider the physical conditions of a proposed site plan in a manner which includes basic zoning, subdivision, design, and building regulations. The review process is intended to promote more orderly and harmonious development and to ensure that all codes and ordinances have been met, helping to provide a logical and coordinated review of proposed developments. The following is a summary of issues to consider when evaluating compliance with the Site Plan Review Ordinance Criteria: CIRCULATION The applicant has provided compliant auto-turn exhibits for the proposed vehicular circulation of cargo vehicles and emergency vehicles. When consulted, the Fire Department expressed no concern about the expansion and felt it would offer them the opportunity to circulate in that area if need be. Cross-access easements required in accordance with the Milwaukee Avenue Corridor Plan were previously furnished with final subdivision recorded in 2010. BUILDING AND STRUCTURE LOCATION There are mechanical units in the area that will be protected from maneuvering vehicles by the installation of bollards. PARKING LOTS The parking stalls and aisle widths are complaint with Village requirements. The proposed parking expansion does not have landscape islands on the ends of the parking row. This requirement would not apply to this project because of the future use of the adjacent building as loading bays. Landscape requirements do not apply to loading areas. SITE ILLUMINATION No new exterior lighting is currently proposed for the parking expansion. If proposed in the future, Appearance Commission approval will be required for any proposed exterior lighting. LANDSCAPING The applicant should clarify the proposed landscape plan to identify the locations of proposed transplanted trees. The landscape plan, plant list, and proposed fence details shall be subject to the review and approval of the Appearance Commission. 7 7

GRAPHICS AND SIGNAGE No exterior signage is currently proposed for the parking expansion. If proposed in the future, Appearance Commission approval will be required for any proposed exterior signage. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION APPROVAL: The subject property had previously been subdivided into a lot of record with all necessary easements recorded. However, since the applicant has added land area to accommodate the proposed alterations. Therefore, a new subdivision is required to consolidate the new property into the existing subdivision. No new easements are expected to be applied to the property. The site plan acts as a preliminary subdivision plat. Once a project is approved and following the granting of Final Engineering Approval, the petitioner will prepare a final subdivision plat and appear before the Plan Commission to gain approval of the final lot configuration and necessary easements. Final Subdivision will be required prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ABT ELECTRONICS PROPOSED DRIVE AISLE EXPANSION JUNE 19, 2015 Abt Electronics is proposing a drive aisle expansion in the far northwest corner of their property. The existing north-south drive aisle is planned to be widened by approximately 6 and the existing east-west drive aisle north of the warehouse is planned to be widened by approximately 53. The widened aisles will create more maneuvering room and storage space for their 24 long van vehicles. A total of eight (8) 12 wide by 24 long parking spaces are proposed. No new loading docks are proposed with this project. Bollards are planned at the east side of the last aisle to protect existing above-grade utilities. The existing detention pond has sufficient volume available to account for the proposed additional impervious area associated with this project. 13
