SUBJECT:
Fisher Container, 1111 Busch Parkway – Approval of a Preliminary Plan with
variations of the Village Development Ordinance – Public Hearing
Don Fisher of Fisher Container proposes to construct a building addition in the southwest corner
of the property and a new parking area on the east side of the site. To accommodate the new
parking area and the driveway to Busch Parkway, modifications to the stormwater pond on the
east portion of the property will be needed.
The modifications to the pond area would include a retaining wall along the east side of the
parking area and driveway. The retaining wall does not meet the side slope standards of the
Village Development Ordinance, so a variation is requested. A similar retaining wall was approved
by variation and constructed adjacent to the pond west of the medical office building at 1450
Busch Parkway.
The petitioner’s civil engineer will review the proposed stormwater plan at the public hearing.
The new parking lot on the east side of the site is designed for 21 off-street spaces. The
Development Ordinance requires a landscaped island of 180 sq. ft. for every 20 parking spaces. A
variation is requested to waive the requirement for the landscaped island. At the public hearing
the petitioner should review the landscaping on the property and enhancements that are planned.
The proposed building addition (10,538 sq. ft.) will provide additional warehouse space. The
addition will occupy a portion of the current parking area on the west side of the property. The
addition will be approximately 24 feet in height, which is consistent with the existing warehouse
portion of the building.

Basic Design Standards.
4.
Permanent ponds shall be designed in accordance with Exhibit No. 209. Ponds shall
have a two foot horizontal to one foot vertical side slope from a point one and onehalf feet above normal water level, down to a point three feet below normal water
level. This two-to-one sloped area shall be covered with a layer of natural stones, with
a minimum diameter of eighteen inches. A diameter of less than eighteen inches may
be approved by the Corporate Authorities. The surface of the stones on the two-toone slope shall be arranged in such a manner so as to enable a person to climb out of
the pond over the stones. The use of "North American Green C350 Erosion
Control/Turf Reinforcement Mat" or equal may also be used when approved by the
Corporate Authorities. When this reinforcement mat is used, the pond shall have a five
foot horizontal to a one foot vertical side slope from a point one and one-half feet
above normal water level, down to the normal water level. The area between the top
of the two-to-one or five-to-one slope and the high water level must be protected by
sodding in order to prevent soil erosion. The first twelve feet of the sodded area at the
top of the two-to-one or five-to-one slope shall be sloped at two percent towards the
pond. At the toe of the two-to-one slope, a twelve foot wide safety ledge sloped
toward the shore at four percent shall be provided. Beyond the safety ledge, the pond
bottom shall slope at two horizontal to one vertical down to the pond bottom
elevation. The minimum pond bottom elevation shall be fifteen feet below normal
water level. Points of inflow to the pond shall be accessible to construction equipment
for dredging as necessary. If retention facilities are designated for recreational
purposes, appropriate consideration shall be reflected in the design for maintenance
of fish life, boating, and safety. All ponds shall be provided with aeration equipment.
Aeration facilities to prevent pond stagnation and promote water quality will be
provided. Design calculations to demonstrate the effectiveness of these aeration
facilities will be submitted.

Design of the island shall be approved by the Village Engineer.
