BACKGROUND
An application has been filed by Atwell-Hicks, L.L.C. requesting annexation, PAB Area Business
District zoning for the territory to be annexed, a rezoning from PSFR2 Planned Single Family Dis-
trict to PAB Planned Area Business District for previously annexed territory, and preliminary plat
and final plat approval for a commercial planned development to be known as Sams Elgin Subdivi-
sion. The subject property is located in the"Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District"at 1000 South
Randall Road (reference Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E).
Sams Elgin Subdivision includes 11 lots which will be developed with retail and commercial uses.
The anchor tenants in the subdivision are Sam's Club/Sam's Gas Station Convenience Store and a
Super-WalMart. The development also includes significant upgrades to the Bowes Road/Randall
Road intersection (reference Exhibits F, G, and H).
GENERAL FINDINGS
After due notice,as required by law,the Planning and Development Commission held a public hear-
ing in consideration of Petition 59-05 on September 19, 2005. The applicant testified at the public
hearing and presented documentary evidence in support of the application.Public testimony was pre-
sented at the public hearing. The Community Development Group submitted an Annexation, Zoning
and Subdivision Review, dated September 14, 2005.
The Planning and Development Commission has made the following general findings:
A. Site Characteristics Standard.The suitability of the subject property for the proposed an-
nexation, zoning and subdivision, with respect to its size, shape and any existing improve-
ments.
Findings: The subject property is suitable for the proposed annexation,zoning and subdivi-
sion with respect to the site characteristics standard. The subject property is a regularly
shaped parcel containing approximately 73 acres of land. The property has gently rolling to-
pography. The property is bisected by a stream corridor that flows from a wetland area lo-
e°1164 Gated east of Randall Road to Otter Creek,located to the west of the subject property. There

The property is in agricultural use.
B. Sewer and Water Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the proposed an-
nexation, zoning and subdivision with respect to the availability of adequate water, sanitary
treatment and stormwater control facilities.

sion with respect to the sewer and water standard. The applicant intends to connect to mu-
nicipal sanitary sewer and water mains that are currently present at the subject property.
Stormwater control will be provided on site through various methods including storm sewer,

Road intersection to accommodate this development and increased traffic generated by other
development projects in the area.
The property also has frontage on Reserve Drive, which functions as a local street serving
residential areas located to the immediate west of the subject property. The location of Re-
serve Drive allows local street access to the proposed commercial development from the
neighboring residential areas without the need for that traffic to utilize either Bowes Road or
Randall Road.

sion with respect to the zoning history standard. The southerly portion of the subject prop-
erty was annexed and zoned PSFR2 Planned Single Family Residence District in 2001. This
created an annexation corridor to a number of projects developing to the west of the subject
property.
The balance of the subject property is zoned for farming in unincorporated Kane County.

Findings: The subject property is suitable for the proposed annexation,zoning and subdivi-
sion with respect to the internal land use standard. Sam's Club,the Sam's Gas Station and
Convenience Store,and Super-WalMart are the only known commercial uses at this time. In

the subject property, the applicant is requesting approval of the following listed conditional
uses: accessory package liquor sales, car wash, commercial operations yard, firearm sales,
motor vehicle repair,and motor vehicle service stations. Development of the remaining lots
in the commercial subdivision would be subject to future zoning hearings pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the annexation agreement and the proposed planned development
district zoning.
The commercial subdivision is designed in general conformance with the applicable zoning
and subdivision standards. The zoning and subdivision standards are intended to prevent un-
due detrimental influence on the proposed internal land uses and on surrounding properties.
