A motion to recommend approval to the Village Board of Trustees of PC#18-021, an amendment to Land Use Variation Ordinance #18-028 to allow modifications to the previously approved development plan, a variation to Chapter 28, Section 10.4, to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 249 spaces to 172 spaces, and a Variation to Chapter 28, Section 10.2-8, to reduce the required width of a two-way drive aisle from 24 feet to 22 feet in width. This approval shall be subject to the following conditions:
Parking/Traffic:
1. If it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Village, that the subject property is creating a parking problem or creating an unsafe impact on traffic along the private access drive and along Algonquin Road, the petitioner shall work with the Village to resolve the situation through the staggering of event times, the limiting of event sizes, restrictions on hours/days of operation for the banquet hall and 6th floor space, contracting with the Police Dept. to provide traffic control personnel, the addition of further offsite parking areas, or any other option as determined appropriate by the Village.
6th floor Space:
