No remarks were offered.  
PUBLIC COMMENT  
Attorney Phil Luetkehans spoke on behalf of client, petitioner for Somerset Plaza, LLC. They  
propose a conditional use for an underlying use of auto sales, for an already existing auto-repair  
business.  
Attorney Vince Tessitore spoke in support of his client Sur Mac Builders, LLC. The petitioner  
recently purchased the property as a duplex, which is how the house was built in 1900 and used  
for many years. Sometime between the years of 2012-2017, the building was converted to a  
single family home for a brief period of time.This changed the status from legal non-conforming  
to non-conforming. The petitioner is requesting for the building to remain as a duplex and asking  
that the 3 year condition placed by the Zoning Board of Appeals be removed.  
Attorney Joseph McQueeney representing Monte Nido, speaking on their behalf petition 80th St.  
Investments, LLC. The petition is to extend a conditional use for group quarters. They ask that  
the condition of the ZBA for a 5 year termination, be removed.

Paul Hoss explained the 3 year time period condition was placed, because Members of the ZBA  
are aware of the County Housing Solutions program. They will soon be a considering a text  
amendment relative to additional dwelling units. He informed the Committee Members that  
putting the 3 year time period is to correlate to what the County may be doing in the future. He  
added the two are mutually exclusive and in the opinion of staff is not necessary.

Paul Hoss explained why the 5 year time limit condition was placed on the petition.  
Parking has always been a concern, which has been mitigated by the petitioner. They  
haven't executed the agreements, but have agreements with two off site parking facilities.  
When overflow parking is needed, employees will park in these off site parking lots.

ZONING-24-000022 – Somerset Plaza, LLC.: To approve the following zoning relief:  
Conditional Use to allow auto sales with auto repair in the B-1 Local Business District.  
(Downers Grove/District 3)  
ZBA VOTE (to Deny): 6 Ayes, 1 Nays, 0 Absent  
Development Committee VOTE (to Approve): 4 Ayes, 0 Nays, 2 Absent  
Paul Hoss told the Committee the reason for recommended to deny. On the surface it  
appears that the petitioner is asking for two separate uses, auto sales and car repair.  
Actually, there will be only one use on the property, which has already existed on the  
property for many years. The other use, car sales is an ancillary use to sell cars, if you fix  
a car and the owner never picks up the car, they need to be able to sell that car. They must  
be licensed through the State of Illinois, and with that also need to be approved by the  
zoning district.
