SUMMARY
The Village of Orland Park existing Athletics Maintenance Facility has outlasted its useful life and is need of replacement. The subject site is within the Open Space Zoning District (OS) and will remains unchanged in the proposed plan, as the existing maintenance facility is a permitted use in the OS District.
The subject site has a gross area of 10.0 acres. The proposed plan introduces a new building, replacing the existing maintenance garage, and a new storage garage. An office building exists on site and is currently used by the Recreation and Parks Department.
The replacement Athletics Maintenance Building is approximately 4,146 square feet for the purpose of maintaining athletic fields and recreational spaces. The existing Parks Administration Building is 1,950 square feet and provides additional space for the Recreation and Parks Department, who has a main office at 14600 Ravinia Avenue. A new storage garage is also proposed on the site, directly to the east of the Parks Administration office. This proposed storage building will be approximately 1,300 square feet in size and contain features that match the existing building. The site features a stormwater management area at the southeast corner. Staff have been coordinating with MWRD on required best management practices for this area. The proposed development aligns with the Zoning District requirements and bulk regulations of the Land Development Code.
PLAN COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Present at the Plan Commission were 6 commissioners, the petitioner, and members of staff. Discussion ranged from what will be stored in the facility, the facility design, the Veterans Center, and addressing of the multiple buildings on site. Overall, the commissioners expressed support for the new facility.
The Plan Commission recommended that the Village Board approve a site plan and building elevations unanimously per the Staff Recommended Action.
