New business. Yes, sir. Let's see, the old Mexican restaurant, right? Correct, yes, sir. Ah, okay. All right, good location. Okay. Thank you. So why don't you tell us a little bit about what the business is and if you intend to do any real changes to it or anything of that nature.

Yes, sir. My name is Uluk. I just go by Luke. Okay. I'm 36 years old. I've been living in Schaumburg for six years now. I'm a father of two toddlers, and this is my... Second restaurant in the city of Schaumburg. Oh, okay. I have another one across the street. It's called Shower Mastop. Oh, okay. It's attracting a lot of people, a lot of residents. So now Shower Mastop is a fast food chain. But this one will be fine dining where people can sit, relax, take their time for evening. And the concept is a fusion kitchen. It's a mix of a little bit of Italian. I am originally from Kyrgyzstan, and it's in Central Asia. I will add a little bit of my culture, a little bit of Eastern European influence, and a little bit of sushi. Italian like it will be a mix of everything okay all right so now you're planning many physical changes to the inside of the other will be changing the furniture and painting the walls and restroom okay okay sounds good all right questions from the board

Everybody knows where it is. Yes, Trustee Madej.

When do you plan on opening it?

I wanted to open in the summer. I wanted to get the patio feeling. We don't get it much here. But hopefully by November. My goal, yes.

Look forward to it. Thank you.

Thank you. All right. So anyone else? All right. So from here, you would need to go to the liquor commissioner's office, which is located at the mayor's office upstairs on the fourth floor during normal business hours and apply for license. There is a background check, some other fees and stuff to be paid. And once all that's done and approved, then a license will be issued. Thank you, sir. You probably started some of that already, I guess, right?

Yes, sir.

Yeah. Okay. Very good. All right, thank you very much. You're welcome to stay or leave if you've got work to go to back to the restaurant.

Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. I've got it right here. Yes, so it covers... Yeah, Spring Hill Suites, Renaissance Inn, and the Courtyard by Marriott. All are going to be owned by Mr. Kensix, and that's what this is for. Yes, sir. Yes, okay. So, what kind of changes might be occurring at the property, if any? Nothing immediately.

You know, there are big plans for renovations, which are way past due. Hopefully those will commence somewhere in the six to nine month range. But other than that, they're going to continue to operate as they have been since the early 2000s. Great hotels in Schaumburg. Um, I've had the privilege to be the general manager for them for the last, uh, almost two years. And, uh, I'm going to continue to do so.

Yes, Bodie and Nowood, correct. All right. This has been actually a couple of years in the making, I think, right?

Yes, so what happened in the history, we bought this property last year. We are the new owner. We changed the positive change. We added lots of light in the landscaping according to the village of Schaumburg. requirement. So this is one of the last project now. So it was like 50, 60% was done from the previous owner. Now we are starting it, and hopefully we will November, we will start November, like getting the football season and trying to get.

For sports bar and restaurant, yes. We do have a plan approved from the community development with all the kitchen and all. So, yes. Okay.

Any other questions, comments? No. Okay. Much like I spoke with the other two gentlemen, you need to apply for this license. I believe you probably already have.

Trustee Patel? Aye. Trustee Clare? Aye. Trustee Sullivan? Aye. Trustee Madej? Aye. Trustee Bischke? Aye. Trustee LaRosa?

Aye. All ayes, no nays. Motion carries. Thank you very much. Committee reports. We have one item. It's from the Plan Commission. It was a recommendation to approve a special use for home business permitting two employees the home at 723 Jeffries Court. There's a petitioner here. Just raise your hand. Okay, that's right. Hang on one second. Okay. Just want to make sure. Okay. And looking for someone from staff. and Dave, or Rich. Yeah, Rich Kerber is here.

The address was incorrect. It's 923.

923 Jeffrey Court. Did I not say that? I'm sorry.

I thought you said 723.

Oh, okay. I might have.

Okay.

No, why don't you go first? Just give us kind of the background on it, and then I'll ask someone from the plant commission to speak.

So we found out about the home-based business through a complaint from one of the neighbors. And upon investigating the complaint, we learned that it met all of the criteria with the exception that it had employees that lived outside of the home coming to the home to pick up two vans. Now, the vans are, and there's some pictures of them, I think, in the materials. The vans are... are wrapped and kind of look, I mean, they're branded like a commercial van. I do want to point out that they, under our code, are not classified as a commercial vehicle. They're essentially minivans with a Class B plate. However, staff recommended denial of the request. It does require a special use because anything that deviates from the list of rules and requirements for home-based businesses can be approved, but through approval of a special use. So that's what's before you tonight. Staff recommended denial because based on the nature of employees coming to the house, picking up these vans, and leaving their cars on the during the day or maybe in the driveway, staff felt that the business as it was operating was different than a normal residential neighborhood character and would have a negative impact on the character. And of course, we had heard about it through a complaint from one of the neighbors. We did get some other complaints. I will point out early when code enforcement staff was talking with the property owner and business owner regarding a sign in the yard and some not materials but equipment being stored outside. And I will say those were corrected rather quickly. But staff did still feel like the operation with the employees coming to the business wasn't unique for any other there wasn't a reason on this location to support the change to the codes that are in place i know there's a representative from plant commission here tonight because plant commission did a vote inconsistent with the staff recommendation which is why it's on committee reports tonight and they recommended approval of the use So I can, I'm happy to answer any questions you have, but I do know there's a rep from plan commission here tonight too. Yeah.

So we're going to ask someone from plan commission.

So Julie, you mentioned the property owner. So is the property owner also the business owner?

I'm sorry. I misspoke. I believe this is a rental property and the, the business owner is sitting behind me. So I meant to say the business owner.

Thanks for clarifying.

All right. Um, so, I'm serving as Don Watson, co-chair of the planning committee for that evening. Just kind of, again, recap a little brief. We've got the minutes for it.

Right. So the recommendation to deny was based primarily on the wording of the ordinance, which was pointing to the two employees that were not working. residents of the home. The petitioner made a distinction by saying that these two employees would only be there to pick up the vans and bring them back. So they would come in the morning, pick up the two vans, do whatever they do, and then come back and drop them off. So not really being employees inside the residence. And I believe the overall consensus was that that didn't breach the overall language of the ordinance because they weren't actually practicing anything or doing anything in the residence itself.

Okay. All right, thank you. And then the petitioner, why don't you come on up and... Tell us your thoughts.

They covered it pretty well. I guess I give you just a little background. I rented the place in March for this purpose because I needed some space to store. I mean, we're talking about like two Baker racks in the garage and the vans. So the business is done. at customers' homes. We spray for mosquitoes or ticks or things like that. And I used to do it by myself when I lived in Bloomingdale, and that was where I first started. This is an operation franchise that's designed for, you start in your home, you don't need a retail space. So as I grew, I needed people to do this for me, keeping people much younger than me. I can't do it anymore. So, yeah, again, it's not even 100% of the thing. Some kids, one kid doesn't even have a car. He gets dropped off, and or I bring him the van, and then he'll drive me home. So there's a lot of different things going on. But in terms of if you just stood outside my house all day, you wouldn't really recognize anything. Maybe the van leaving or me coming home or, you know, anything that would be – considered normal life, day to day. In fact, and I wanted to point out, there was, shortly after the complaint, and I had just moved in, so the only reason there was something outside of my house, I was cleaning out the garage and I had put one of my backpacks on the side by the porch and I left it there accidentally overnight. So that was understandable, cleaned up, the sign, understand. So as I was adhering to the terms of the permit, I got a citation the next day, and it was Memorial Day, and my son, who came over to my house, parked his car, and him and I drove to Wisconsin to do not work-related stuff, but somebody saw the car, saw the person, assumed it was business-related. It wasn't, so that was just a normal thing. Stuff that happens, you know, so so yeah, this is this is important to me that that I I get this lease for now my future plans are that I will have a space that will You know when it grows a little bit. I have more vans and more people obviously that's not going to be conducive Long-term so and also I wanted to point out this is seasonal business. So come mid-october late October those vans we parked indefinitely and I might actually even store one off-site and I'm happy to answer any questions if I missed anything.

All right, before we go there, I am going to, before I ask the board if they have any questions, I wanna see if there's any residents wish to make a comment. Nope, don't look like it. Okay, any comments, questions from the board on this? Trustee Clare.

You said you have chemicals inside the garage. Roughly how much space is that taking up, square footage-wise?

Square footage-wise, I mean, their racks are two by six by maybe eight feet tall, so I don't do very good math. It's basically a little nook in the garage. Okay. Is any of that flammable? No. No, these are all what they call synthetic pyrethroid things that you probably have worse in your garage and under your sink. That's basically it.

Because I know we stopped doing the home occupation inspections a couple years ago, I think it was. So one of the things that's not being inspected is whether this is over the amount of square footage that this business is taking up of the home. I was just curious about that. So you were operating this, you are living there, right? Yes. Okay, so you were operating this without proper permission originally, right?

Yeah, you know, it's one of those things that I didn't know I needed it, yeah. Okay, no other questions.

Trustee Madej? So you started this business in Bloomingdale?

I did, yeah.

Did you have a business license in Bloomingdale for residential business there?

No, again, it didn't occur to me that I needed one because of the fact that it wasn't, I'm not having customers in, I'm not displaying anything, I wasn't advertising anything except the van parked in the driveway, that was it. So that first year, it was just me, and there was no employees. The issue that was brought to my attention is specific to the fact that I have people working for me, but again, not entering my home, not lingering around, not doing anything there. We're not producing, not doing any kind of stuff like that.

So you're warehousing?

Beg your pardon?

Basically, you're warehousing and parking.

Yeah, warehousing and fancy word staging, right? Here's the van, take it. And again, that's not 100%. Sometimes I take it to them or do some other arrangement depending on the day and the person. And, you know, my employees roll over a little bit sometimes, too.

You say you live in the residence now, your whole family?

Uh, I'm divorced. It's just me. That's a three bedroom. I have one bedroom has a little desk towards my little office. I got, I got a bedroom and then I got a, uh, you know, sitting room. That's it. Just three.

You still own the property on Bloomingdale?

Uh, my, my, uh, ex-wife lives there. She's, we're planning on selling it soon. Um, yeah. And my daughter, Yeah, I have an 18-year-old that I just shipped off to college last week.

No further questions.

Trustee Bischke?

So one of the other complaints that several of us on the board have received from some of your neighbors is that after working hours or before working hours, whatever, that you're cleaning the... Whatever their chemical sprayers or whatever cleaning the equipment in the backyard with hoses cleaning the equipment in the streets rinsing it off running it down the drain I'm curious. What is the what's the safety implications of that?

That's Inaccurate in part. What I'm doing is there's a 100 gallon tank that's in the van. I'm filling that. I'm putting it in the product to it. The only thing I rinse off, sometimes I'll rinse the sideboards on the van or I'll rinse the mats, kind of like you would washing your car. I am registered with the state. I cannot rinse product down a drain. No product is being ran down the drain, as they say, and I'm not rinsing any equipment out there. It might be some dirt from the van or something on the edge, but yeah, no, I'm not allowed to dispense chemicals in that sense. So it's just water or detergent. But yeah, it's just water.

Okay.

Anyone else trustee?

Uh, Julie question. What do we usually allow for home based businesses like for an office or storage or whatever? Square footage wise.

Sure. Sure. Get it. Um, the requirement is 160 square feet. So that's a maximum requirement. This one, the estimate was that the business owner uses about a 90 square foot bedroom and then roughly 30 square feet in the garage was the estimate based on the application, which is under the 160 square feet.

So the delivery vehicles don't take up any square footage?

No, the vehicles don't count towards that. The presence of the... I think that, and I wanna point out that the village does have some special uses for hair salons and nail salons and things like that where people are coming to the house for appointments. Those traditionally have been limited to six per day, and we have a number of those in the village. And so that's kind of a benchmark that we used. So when staff evaluated this, we talked about this, this is maybe four people coming per day. I guess it would be technically eight, right? Eight trips, right? A little bit more than the six that we've used as a benchmarks, you have the two people coming. But for the staff analysis, even though the vehicles are not technically classified as commercial vehicles, the fact that the operation has the people coming there and the vehicles are there because the people were coming there. was the primary complaint we received and we felt that that was really what the the only thing that really impacted the character of the neighborhood the the small amount of storage in the garage is Typical for other home-based businesses that are licensed in the village Thank you Other questions comments So years ago

the village became concerned about the amount of people using the residences for home business. There was more and more a trend by businesses telling their employees, take the vehicle home, take the truck home, take whatever it was home with you and be able to use that. Either they would work from home or they would use that as a staging. And it became far more common. So the village then started taking a look into that. did a hard look as to what would be acceptable and what would not. Minus daycare, which is kind of a different breed of business. Minus daycare, the idea was that a business, if it was an individual, that would be one thing. But the idea was not to change the character of the neighborhood. These are residents. This is where people come home to from work to sleep are with their families and that and so the idea was to ensure that commercial operations were not set up and run in a residential neighborhood there are areas we have set aside for that in particular south of Wise Road there's plenty of commercial operations set up there from my perspective this is a commercial operation I understand what you describe as. You can call it dispatching. You can call it whatever you want to call it. But the fact is it's still got commercial vehicles, clearly identified as commercial vehicles, and running the operation out of this location, which affects the character of the neighborhood. It's no longer really residential. And our goal is we want to protect that residential neighborhood. I'm not in favor of it. I can't tell you exactly what the rest of the board here will do, but I do want to let you know that I don't think this is the type of business that should be run out of the home. It should be set aside for commercial. So I look for any of your comments from the board or look for a motion. Motion to deny. Second. So motion and a second to deny. Any other discussion from the board? All in favor? Aye. Opposed?

We should do a roll call.

All right. Will the clerk please do a roll call?

Trustee Patel?

Aye.

Trustee Clare? Aye. Trustee Sullivan? Aye. Trustee Madej? Aye. Trustee Bischke? Aye. Trustee La Rosa?

Aye. Six ayes. So the motion is to deny the business at the location. We're not unsympathetic. I would hope that staff, you indicated there is You're on a short term now for operation that staff can work with you to maybe get you through this operation and then you need to find somewhere else to run this business.

Can I ask a question? Yeah. Okay, so if I am no employees coming to my house, I bring my van to them when I need to. That's just me driving my car. That's fine.

That's right. Yes, that was the clarification that I wanted to make is that the special use is denied, but the property and this gentleman is still able to run a home-based business within the provisions and the rules and regulations. So it's strictly the employees coming to the business, that's the only element. Yeah. So the office, the storage, you have to get a license for it, but the special use is not required for those kinds of operations.

And again. We're not looking to shut you down, put you out of business. So, you know, I think staff can work with you to determine a time frame in which compliance can be made and go from there. So, you know, again, we're not unsympathetic to the situation.

Okay? Okay. The only thing I fear is that, again, a personal... A personal thing which happened on Memorial Day is going to prompt another citation. In fact, the hearing for that was pushed off to next week. So how is that determined by the average onlooker to say this was personal or this was business?

I'll let Julie answer that.

So it wasn't, well, what I can say, it wasn't the isolated incidents over Memorial Day that got the citation. It was just the length of time kind of when we identified.

No, this is after it specifically said that day, that time. Okay. That was the citation. Before that, it was just the acknowledgment, hey, you need a permit. Boom, I came here, did the permit. Then it was literally like three days later when I had all the lists of things, don't do this until, and I was complying. And then the citation came up for seemingly, I mean not seemingly, for a personal thing. So I felt a little infringed myself because now it would be spying on me. It's like... You know, my kid came over, and we went to Wisconsin to see kid, you know, it was... Well... Is there an open citation now?

There is an open citation, and our village attorney is also our prosecutor, and so we can work with you on, and I don't know if, Lance, you want to...

Right, so the reason that it was continued is because you were seeking this special relief, and there was some talk, I believe, originally when the citation was issued, and again, those circumstances are subject to discussion, but overall... the issues we've talked about, you've acknowledged. That just happened to be something else. But the point being is because you wanted to proceed with the special use, I think staff felt to let that play out depending on what happened. But we'll work with that. You don't have to worry about that.

Okay. Yeah. I'm not worried about it. I'm concerned that something similar is going to happen and I'm going to be

Unless you're doing something else that we're not aware of, I don't see that happening.

We'll work with you on a time frame for coming into compliance. So we can have the inspector or the planner give you a call this week.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, thank you. Next item is comments from the audience. It's a time for members of the audience to come forward and speak on matters that are pertinent to the operations of the village of Schaumburg. threatening, slanderous, profane, or disorderly behavior is grounds for immediate removal from meeting. We do ask that you give us your name, keep your comments to no more than three minutes. Total public comment will be limited to 30 minutes. So if you have something, please come forward. Okay.

Okay, give us a name for the record. My name is Julian Garcia. I am the owner of Velocity Vending Services. We are a local-run business out of Lake County as of right now. We are doing different variations of vending machines in different locations. And we recently came over your guys'... ban on nicotine vending. And we wanted to kind of maybe see if there was a way we could bring that back up and just kind of see why it was banned, if there's anything we could do to maybe get like a pilot program started, which we recently did in a city, Wakanda, Illinois, which we're gonna start on September 1st. So we just wanted to kind of see if there was any wiggle room or any way to talk about it at all, so.

Make it short and sweet. Anyone interested?

No. No. No.

No. Yeah, sorry. Okay, thank you. We've been pretty tight on that and just doesn't fit in with what we want here. Okay. But thank you for coming. Yep. Okay. Thank you, guys. Okay. Anyone else? Okay, moving on. Council report.

The only thing I have is to say that staff wants to meet in closed session to update the board on pending litigation. No action will be sought after that, and so the adjournment will be of the meeting as well.

Okay. President's report. I do have one item. Hopefully not stealing any of the village manager's thunder here, but I received notice from Melissa Cameron from Boys and Girls Club. um that was uh thanking uh chief wolf police chief wolf who's not here tonight right oh i'm wasting it um uh anyway he was apparently uh uh recognized at the annual board meeting on august 20th as a quote partner of the year uh and they have award certificate um for him and uh This is in regards to all the stuff. I know he's a big supporter of Boys and Girls Club, and he helped bring them here when we were struggling with our teen center. And Chief is very proactive in that and very concerned about our teens and young people. And so very nice of work. So please pass it on. Okay. That's all I have. Manager's report? I have no report this evening. Okay. Trustee comments? look for a motion to adjourn into executive session in accordance with Section 2, Subsection C11 of the Open Meetings Act for litigation when an action against, affecting, or on behalf of a particular public body has been filed and is pending before a court or administrative tribunal, or when the public body finds that an action is probable or imminent, in which case the basis for refining shall be recorded and entered into the minutes of the closed meeting.
