Agenda Item # 1 Public Hearings
REPORT TO:
Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM:
Emily Prather, Community & Economic Development Coordinator
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing And Potential Action Regarding A Variance For 150 W Marion
Avenue – Coziahr
BACKGROUND:
Coziahr Harley Davidson is preparing to expand their current building by adding on an
addition to their building at 150 W. Marion Avenue. With this new addition, current
signage on the building will need to be relocated. This includes a “Service” sign that is
the purpose of this variance.
Ordinance 790 was approved back in 2010 for the Service sign to be located specifically
on the east side of the business and not to exceed 42.5 square feet. Now with the
expansion to the current building, Coziahr needs to move the existing sign to the South
side of the building where the service entrance will be located and is asking for a
variance to allow this relocation. Ordinance 891 was approved back in September 2013,
for the relocation of signage relating to the expansion of the Coziahr building, but that
variance request has expired as regulated by the 18 month timeframe in Section 9.15
which is another reason for this current variance request.
The public hearing notice was published in the Decatur Herald and Review on June 10th
according to Illinois Statutes.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
One part of a goal listed within the Comprehensive Plan for the Village is to concentrate
on minor commercial expansions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the sign is an existing sign that will be relocated with the building expansion, staff
believes there is justification for the practical difficulty or particular hardship for the
variance standards that the Planning and Zoning Commission could recommend
approval to the Board of Trustees.

Variance Standard Questions
1.
What special or unique circumstances exist that are unique to the property seeking the variance
(examples of special circumstances include, but are not limited to the physical character of the land
or buildings, dimensions, topography, and soil conditions)?
With the new addition, the “Service” entrance is being relocated to the south side of the building;
therefore, the “Service” sign needs to move along with it.
2.
Are the special circumstances not of so general or recurring a nature throughout the entire Village
as to make it reasonably practical to provide for a general regulation?
No, the circumstance seems specific to this site.
3.
Will the strict application of the Development Ordinance deprive the applicant of rights and/or uses
commonly enjoyed by other owners of property in the immediate area under the regulations of this
Development Ordinance? Please explain and give examples if available.
This variance was previously approved in October of 2013; however, it expired. In addition, a prior
variance allowed (3) signs on the south façade of the existing building. Since that time, (1) of the
(3) signs has been removed.
4.
Will the authorization of such variance not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will
the granting of the variance not change the character of the district? Please explain.
The sign is an existing sign on the east façade; therefore, the relocation should have little impact on
adjacent properties. In fact, it should provide improved direction and traffic flow in the shared
parking lot.
5.
Is the variance the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property,
building, or structure? Please explain.
Yes. If the sign is not relocated, then it will be inside of the new addition.

REPORT TO:

FROM:
Emily Prather, Community & Economic Development Coordinator
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing And Potential Action Regarding Variances For 107 Highland
Drive – Neil Plaza LLC
BACKGROUND:
Neil Plaza LLC is planning on developing a new 7,275 square foot strip retail building
with four tenants. Neil Plaza LLC is requesting two different variances from the
Development Ordinance. The first variance deals with the parking standard
requirements and requests to allow 52 parking spaces for the building no matter what
uses go into the building which would also be calculated as approximately 7 parking
spaces per 1000 square feet. In my research, other retail strip buildings within the
Village have similar ratios for parking. The Verizon strip building has 3 units and
computes to approximately 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet. The strip retail
building that holds Subway and has 4 units computes to approximately 6 parking spaces
per 1000 square feet. Forsyth Commons is approximately 4.4 parking spaces per 1000
square feet.
The second variance deals with the sign regulations and requests to allow a pole sign
with a maximum height of 25 feet and sign area of 56 square feet. Other signs for
commercial buildings in the surrounding area along Highway 51 have been granted to
have greater height and sign area than what is stated in the Development Ordinance.
The public hearing notice was published in the Decatur Herald and Review on June 10th
according to Illinois Statutes.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan notes there are opportunities to add new in-fill development
and redevelop underutilized or vacant sites to continue to evolve Forsyth’s commercial
base.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes justification for the variance standards could be made for the parking
variance request and the sign area variance request but the sign height variance may
not be the minimum variance sign height but could coincide with some of the
neighboring pole signs that have been permitted variances to the Development
Ordinance. Staff recommends the Commission recommend approval to the Board of
Trustees for the variance request for 107 Highland as long as the Commission feels the
variance standards have been met.
Village of Forsyth 301 South Route 51 Forsyth, IL. 62535 Phone: 217-877-9445 Fax: 217-877-9863
Building Description: 4 suits class A 7200 square foot strip mall with 52 parking spaces will be built on
107 Highland Drive, Forsyth Il 62535. The site plan, frontage and side elevation attached.
Reason for variance: many restaurant users like Starbucks, Penn Station and Smash Burger called for
lease on the strip mall, but with the current strict parking requirement on the Fast Food Restaurant user
would not allow us take them in. These franchise restaurants will be a great addition to Forsyth
community. The pole sign signage height and square footage on the sign is another concern for most of
potential tenants that had called.
Variances needed: Allow 52 parking spaces for a 7200 square foot strip mall no matter what uses go
into the building. This could also be stated as 13 spaces per unit or approximately 7 parking spaces per
1000 square feet. Other strip malls within the Village have less than 7 parking spaces per 1000 square
feet.
Increase the current height on the pole sign from 15 feet to 25 feet for better visibility. Also increase the
signage square footage from 45 square foot to 56 square foot. Attached the drawing for better idea.
Note: Please consider the above changes. I truly believe this strip mall will be a great addition to the
Forsyth community. It might open door to other developers to the village. As I had noticed there aren’t
many building been built for past 5 years except for the Menard in the village.
Variance Standard Questions
1.
What special or unique circumstances exist that are unique to the property seeking the variance
(examples of special circumstances include, but are not limited to the physical character of the land
or buildings, dimensions, topography, and soil conditions)?
The current dimensions and set back on the land makes it impossible to fully utilize the land which
lead to build less usable parking spaces. With the current 40 feet set back on the US 51 causes the
signage to seem much smaller with current 45 square foot signage restriction. Higher signage and
bigger square footage will make it more visible for the tenants.
2.
Are the special circumstances not of so general or recurring a nature throughout the entire Village
as to make it reasonably practical to provide for a general regulation?
No need to provide for a general regulation for this variance, it just within our strip mall.
3.
Will the strict application of the Development Ordinance deprive the applicant of rights and/or uses
commonly enjoyed by other owners of property in the immediate area under the regulations of this
Development Ordinance? Please explain and give examples if available.
There’s two strip malls out parcel to the Hickory Point Mall behind the Applebee Restaurant and
Cedar Restaurant has less parking spaces than they required within the strip mall. There are many
business with higher than 15 feet high pylon signage and larger than 45 square foot, just name a
few: McDonald, Shell gas station, Lowes plaza, Menard, and etc.
4.
Will the authorization of such variance not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and will
the granting of the variance not change the character of the district? Please explain.
The granting of the variance should not affect the adjacent property nor the district. We will have
control of the users within the strip mall. For our own sake, we would not allow multiple users to
use up all the parking spaces and causes other tenants not be able do business. Also, no tenant
willing to pay rent when there’s no parking spaces for their customers.
5.
Is the variance the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the property,
building, or structure? Please explain.
Yes. The variance we asked are very reasonable, and by allowing the variance the strip mall can
bring in multiple class A tenants like Sport Clip, Penn Station, and possibly Moe’s Southwest Grill.
But the current parking restriction would not allow us to do so. Especially the restriction on the hair
salon, 3 spaces per station which is unheard of in Central Illinois. Allowing us having a higher
signage and bigger square footage give tenants easier to do business in Village of Forsyth and
allowing them to be a long term business parlor here.

REPORT TO:
Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM:
Emily Prather, Community & Economic Development Coordinator
SUBJECT:
Text Amendment To The Village Of Forsyth Development Ordinance
BACKGROUND:
The Village Board of Trustees reviewed the changes to the Development Ordinance at
their June 1st meeting and wanted the Commission to review four different sections that
were being proposed to change.
The first section to review is Section 3.12 for Home Occupations. Trustees noticed
teachers and tutors were not listed on the permitted home occupation list and believed
that should be added.
The second section to review is Section 3.16 for Buffering/Screen Plantings. Trustees
did not like the original wording that allowed shrubs to only be a height of 3 feet so
additional wording is being proposed to state a minimum height for landscaped
screening to be achieved within 3 years of 6 feet for any landscaped screening.
The third section to review is Section 4.6 C(12) for Outdoor Displays. Trustees were
concerned with limiting outdoor displays to 20% of the floor area because that
percentage may be too limiting so a new proposed percentage of 50% is being
proposed.
The fourth section to review is Section 6.3 F(12) relating to the addition of compact
parking spaces and the wording of this addition. New wording is being proposed for this
section so this section should be reviewed for clarity.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission should review these four sections and staff’s
modifications to the proposed changes to the Development Ordinance and when the
Commission is content with the wording for the text amendments they may recommend
approval to the Village Board of Trustees for the text amendments to the Village of
Forsyth Development Ordinance.
