Um, so um, he has to stick around for at least that long. At least I plan on it. So Okay.

Yeah, it um you mentioned I started here as an intern. That was back in 1993 and um I had a small office in the basement of the village hall and it wasn't even an office.

Trusty Sullivan. Hi. Trusty Mday. Hi. Trusty Bishki is absent. Trusty Lar Roa. I.

Five eyes. Noise. Motion carries. Uh, committee reports. We have one item that has been removed for discussion, which is a recommendation from the zoning board to approve a special use for Taipei restaurant and parking variation for AAR restaurant, 25 South Rosel Road. Uh, and you said you have some questions or comments. Please come forward to the microphone, give us your name, address for the record, and uh um hold forth.

My name is Denise Sunder. I'm proud to say I've been a homeowner in Shamburgg for over 40 years and um I'll try to make it short, but uh we felt it was important. I'm now um I've been connected for over 10 years with the historical society in Shamburgg. Uh it's our 63rd year. I'm now the president of the historical society. And what brings me here tonight is I went to the um meeting of the zoning board on the 11th to review what was going to happen at 25 South Rosel Road after 5 years. We're also glad to see some interest in such a predominant location in our historical center of Shamburgg. um we're glad to welcome um the enterprise, but uh there was a thorough um discovery made by the zoning board to be concerned about the parking over there. We have three things. I'll make it short. one uh um the history of the spot is not an historical building, but everything in Shamburgg is historical as far as we're concerned. And what was there, a little history lesson, was actually a private residency in 1907. It became Caldwell Bank in 1982. And then we all loved Deerfield's German Bakery for 20 years in the year 2000. And because of COVID, it went away in 2020. So, it's standard abandoned. It's faded from its beautiful dark red uh antique red they called it in the minutes. Um but now it's proposed to be a full restaurant. Our concern is uh twofold. One, the parking which has been

addressed. There's only 25 parking spots in the in the U lot. So, they've worked with the building to the south of there to work out an agreement to use their parking as well as we all know there is parking for general use that Luminadis and everybody else uses as well. So, if they're willing to live with that Oh, and then they mentioned that they were going to do valet parking, but it's a lot of parking issues because it's going to be a full restaurant, which never was there before. A lot of dynamics. Um, our second concern is the color. It was a beautiful antique red. And if you look if you stand on the other side of the street and look across, you'll see a nice association of bricks buildings historically significant or painted to sort of look like they go along with the area. Um what they're proposing is a dark navy blue. Um and our concerns and just have a thought to maybe have everybody think about it a little bit more. Um it's going to look these are terrible pictures, but you can get your own. Um we have a beautiful blue here, but that I wouldn't consider navy blue. It's just going to be an extremely dark building. It will not look in our estimation like it's blending into the historical significance of the area, which the brick or the red color would do. The beige and the trim work that they're going to do, we have no problem with, but um we can understand they don't want to keep the look of the bakery kind of cute look to it that um Derfields did. But we would ask to have a second thought about how dark the building will be and how it won't look like it blends

into the historical buildings that are there both north and south all the way around. Um so basically we're concerned about the parking. We're concerned of the type of business. Although it sounds like it'll be a high quality um cuisine that Mr. Cindy's proposing. He's already been an owner of a restaurant and um so isn't coming in cold turkey, but he's got a competition of over 20 restaurants within one mile that have that same type of cuisine, let alone hopscotch going to go in. But, uh he sounds like he's a gentleman up for challenges. Again, we're just asking to bring to attention as the zoning board addressed some of these issues, but we didn't discuss color until um I met with our group and we thought we'd bring it up tonight.

Okay. Thank you. Um chairman of the zoning board, uh Harry Ramandi, would you come on up here just for a minute? We ask a few questions here. I did read the uh minutes and the material. We all have that um from the zoning board, from the hearing from staff and everything else. There was obviously extensive conversation. Yeah. The parking was the biggest thing. Yeah. When we talked about and emphasized the fact that they probably going to need valet parking. Yes.

As far as the color of the building, no, that wasn't an issue. And like this lady said that their group came up and we were concerned about that after the meeting. um the basic use and everything. We agreed on that and uh not much more I can comment on that other than the parking was the big issue that we spent a lot of time talking about. Okay. So uh um is the petitioner here? Yes. Okay. Okay. Can I ask you to come forward here for a minute? And the petitioner did a very thorough presentation too so we understood what she wanted to do. Uh, give us your name for the record. Who would mind, please?

Hi, I'm Jamie Bear from Dan Shapiro and Associates and I do have my client here. He's here to answer any questions. Okay. Good evening. So, um, you look like you're in your chef outfit already for I was working and got some time.

Okay. Okay. So, you're you're all set to go. Um, so we understand there's been extensive conversation about the parking. You don't want to let's not go back down that path. Um, the color, was it a color that you picked out or was it a color that staff recommended? Uh, um, I know there is a a concern about wanting to try and keep to at least some of the more historical colors that have been used. So, can you tell me that? So I remember we had a conversation uh with the staff meeting uh u the first meeting when we had at the village and uh we were given options to choose color which fit into the historical parameter and these colors were there. We do have like color code with the paint number, name and everything which we picked on and there was a special selections when we go to Shalon William Shalen William is the paint shop and uh we chose from the historical uh only section from there itself. Now we chose this color. Why we chose this color? It's a great question. See as a restaurant when we are spending so much money to to uplift the experience for communities and folks going to be spending a decent amount of money for their experience where the quality of the product is also going to be working together with the ambiance and experience. Um there has to be an experience also when people are walking in towards the building. Now first of all we picked up the paint color uh with the name code like I said uh from the historical section itself. Um it need a freshness. Actually the building need freshness. Um the neighborhood need um a a a change in in not touching the historical part of it but also in such way where experience is melting together

uh with with the look of the building from outside itself. And then and then then of course when they're entering inside the dining room that that matters the most too. I mean these are the thoughts together we worked with the village staff and uh my interior designer and I we worked hours hours on this thing and we came up with this beautiful design. Um

Okay. So your your goal obviously is you need to change the color. I mean, just like people typically they repaint um or uh put up new facades on buildings because they want to make it more what what is them and to highlight the fact that it's something new. It's something different than what was there. So, understand it. There is a a trim a different color trim that's being used beige or something uh probably for window trim or something to that effect. Right.

So, these small shades When we on the building each each side the note side is the the paint has been done in such way where uh there is only two color combination has been used base and that uh the the navy blue kind of color and also dining industry is all about experiences and how you can show uniquely u but also I do respect that you know historical part of it. This is a beautiful city, beautiful town. We uh the color has been choose right what we were options where we were given um based on our ambiance which we are spending um almost a decent amount of money based on the exterior is matching with that sense.

Okay. So you're not making any other changes to the building any physical changes to the building? There's no changes to that. There's no changes at all. So, okay. Uh, landscape and obviously you're going to put in some upgrade landscaping and and things of that nature to create that ambiance that you talked about. Yeah. What kind of freshness we going to add to the site? That's right. I just want to I want to make sure you So, you're doing some of that to also improve some of that. There's a big tree on the property as I recall. Um, you know, so yeah, you're keeping that tree. You recall? Do you remember? I assume you're not cutting that tree down. I think we're keeping the tree, right? We're keeping So, you're just We only going to refresh the landscape. Yeah.

And then the pathway we're going to change. We're going to put new pathway there. So, so there's no any trip hazard and uh freshness is all around the the building itself too. Okay. And uh you picked this play this location because you you like the location or was there anything in particular about this location to open a restaurant? I mean there is a obviously there it's your your prerogative. It's not our our call if you want to put a restaurant in there. You're certainly welcome and we welcome you to put a restaurant in there. Uh obviously though knowing that there is others of different types of restaurants in the area. So

the significance of that location itself actually uh it's a great location organically you have a good exposure to the lot of foot traffic lot of residentials uh there is a huge residential community just came on summit drive now on the wise road there is another 200 housing community is coming there on the other hand not too far from that building is 2 mile away there's another residential project is coming in so based on all the dynamic of the city itself where the restaurants are actually u doing their businesses but also my goal is as a chef to bring um high quality product uh working organically onto my recipes and uh u doing something unique different than many other restaurants Indian food itself is very uh popular cuisine it's almost a global cuisine it's one of the top 10 cuisine in the world so there is a lot of popularity of this of this cuisine um I do Understand there are few restaurants but they are existing one are different cuisine they are south Indian cuisine and my goal is to work on the north Indian cuisine which is already very global uh globally popular popular in New York, Los Angeles, London is the big hub for the industry. France is also another one. So bringing that the the the cuisine and the concept uh especially in that area will target lot of uh uh uh lot of uh lot of big target market based on the the the folks lives around there. Um rolling meadows

on the other hand, Valentine, um Hoffman state, everybody there is not so many dining industry there. So they all come to Shamburgg and Shamburgg need a a new addition um in in Indian cuisine. I always feel on the other side on the south side if you look at it Roselle um Hanover Park uh Elgrove does not have many dining places. So adding based on the market structure adding a high-end um a great uh dining uh establishment there especially focusing on a regional traditional cuisine will be a great addition to the city

and there is a high Indian Indian population in China. Definitely sir is a very diverse community and a lot of high-end earning population we have in the city lot of workingass family they all need to have a great experience when families are working so hard and these good restaurant addition will not only just good for the community for the city but also it's actually uh bringing it's it's putting actually our city on on the on the local Chicagoland area on the map too that we have such a great restaurant in the city

and and and and also we have lot of like 31 to 32 hotels they almost like accommodating um I would say like 2 to 3,000 rooms so there is a lot of business client coming in each year um a lot of events are happening in the city fest um October fest and and we have a great opportunity as small business owners to go and host event there and be a part of it and show our food to to the folks where they can enjoy the event. Okay. Questions, followup questions from the board. Trusty Clark.

Um, if I'm mistake, if I'm not mistaken from my memory from years ago being on Old Chamber Center Commission, that color does in fact like staff is saying in zoning saying that meet as long as it's not a semi- gloss. It's got to be it has to be a flat finish. Um, and I actually I like the difference in color and I understand where the gentleman's coming from. That's that's a great point that that it kind of stands out a little bit for the dining experience rather than having everything all the same. Um, so I mean I I I don't have a problem at all with with the color. The parking I mean that's being addressed. So hopefully

obviously if they're business, you know, hopefully it'll go over very well and if you got a problem with parking, you're going to be having valet real quick. Otherwise, you're going to be losing customers. So I'm sure you'll take care of that. So I'm not concerned about that. Other questions, comments? Yes, trustee. Yeah, I agree. I mean that that navy blue flat goes with the the area there and everything. So I don't see a problem with the color. Um like you said in closing it's just a flat color. Correct. Um only question I have is uh your valet parking uh service. Is that going to be a complimentary to your clientele or you plan on charging

for for guest? Um we'll see. plan is to do uh not to charge the guest. See in Chicago is different uh when you have you know lot of international customers coming in but also um parking is always a challenge in Chicago we all know and val um there is a value charge there lot of establishment they don't do that so shamburgg on the other hand is very family oriented atmosphere it's a very different dynamic of where you know folks wanted to come out and they want to be comfortable um they don't want to pay for the value. So, we'll we know what we're going to do. Most certainly, we're not going to charge. So, we'll see.

Okay. Thank you. Other questions, comments from the board? No. Hopefully, that answers all the questions there. So, yes. Oh, I'm sorry. What is the anticipated date for opening? Um so, once we get the permit, um we're going to do the renovation. We're going to do all the cosmetic interior designing and uh uh we hoping five five and a half month I would say and then probably August and or September first week we should be we should be like running up. So thank you. Okay. I I'm not sure I understand your question about the the sheet you were holding up. Sorry.

The the sheet you're holding up. What is Oh, just trying to say um they had a wonderful presentation on the 11th. Um again, we went back and lot thought it's just going to have all the trim work taken off. The front of the building will have a little bit of beige, but the rest of it will be this dark. Okay, dark blue. So, we don't want it to be another dark blue building on Chamber. We just thought it would be advisable to think consider the original antique red or an umber or something that would go in. I understand what Jamie's saying. Yeah. Something jumping out. Well, it's different than than You really want it to jump out because you Yeah, you want it to

They want it to to look different so that when people are coming there or going by, they're going to see it and say, "That's different. What's going on there?" and attract attention to it. So, I I think the color in that sense is appropriate. Um I'm not aware of other blues that are around the area. Um, so, um, you got Fat Fat next door, which is basically brick,

uh, red brick or wood all the way along there. Trying to look for harmony versus something that jumps out. His cuisine will be what will jump out, not what color the building is. Yeah. And the sign was the other thing. I'm sorry I didn't mention it. It's a lovely name he's come up with. Um, but we're not too sure about where that sign's going to be, if it'll be on the portico above the entrance or where it's going to be. Okay. Well, staff is uh I think we have restrictions in that area. The type of signage is very very tight as to what can be done with the signage and some harmony there. Exactly. Society. Okay. Other questions, comments.

Okay. Um then I look for a motion to approve this recommendation from the zoning board uh for a type A restaurant parking variation. Um and um approve the ordinance number 26 022 02 to wave the first and wave the first fee. So move second. Okay. Um anything further? Will the clerk please call the role? Trusty Patel. Hi.
