OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The subject property is located in the Main Street Village planned unit development (phase II), which was approved in 2004 as a PUD. The 2004 approval included a 6,300 square foot restaurant with parking on site able to accommodate 60 parking stalls (including 4 handicap spaces) for the subject property. In 2005, the site was developed as Amcore Bank, reducing the size of the building to 5,700 square feet and the parking lot capacity to 30 stalls (including 2 handicap spaces). The reduction in parking capacity enabled the bank to build a detached drive-through facility in the middle of the parking lot.
The proposed project seeks to restore the original parking capacity for the subject property by demolishing the existing drive-through.
The proposed project is considered a change to the existing site programming, and requires a site plan review. In addition, since changes are proposed to the elevations, the appearance review for this project is attached to streamline the review process.
Lastly, the landscape plan for this project is reviewed concurrently and follows the original landscape plan requirements for the PUD.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner is proposing a salon and day spa-type personal service establishment in an existing vacant building located along La Grange Road. Studios and Salon Suites (SASS) is essentially an assortment of personal service establishments in which tenant spaces are rented out to hair salons, day spas, tanning salons and other similar services for a one stop shop and service center. SASS has in the past, in other locations, also hosted tattoo and body piercing parlors etc. Each tenant is responsible for obtaining the necessary state and local licensing and meeting all regulations and requirements individually, including obtaining any special use permits and meeting proximity requirements (e.g. in the case of tattoo parlors etc.).
There are no variance requests for this petition.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) Add a bicycle rack nearest the main entrance to the facility.
2) Meet all building code related items.
3) Screen all new exterior and rooftop mechanical systems and conduits from view of the public right-of-way and neighboring properties.
4) Provide a cash-in-lieu payment of $2,400 to the Tree Mitigation Account to meet tree mitigation requirements for 6 trees.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
