TRIPLE CROWN TRAINING SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR INDOOR RECREATION: 9426 CORSAIR ROAD -Postponed from July 15, 2024 Village Board Meeting

Trustee Petrow reported at its July 15, 204 meeting the Village Board considered a Special Use Permit for indoor recreation for the property located at 9426 Corsair Road to accommodate the operation of Triple Crown Training, an indoor baseball facility. The Plan Commission had forwarded an unfavorable recommendation for the Special Use request due to insufficient parking for the proposed use. During the meeting, property owner Omar Hassad, who was in the audience, stated that he had a revised site plan depicting 24 parking spaces and noted the parking lot had already been constructed. Consequently, the Village Board postponed the matter to the August 5th Village Board meeting to give staff time to review the revised site plan and inspect the parking lot for compliance with the Village's Zoning Ordinance. Upon review, staff determined that multiple variations are necessary for the parking lot to comply with the ordinance.

Trustee Petrow noted Mr. Hassad has submitted a new application for a Special Use Permit for indoor recreation along with a revised site plan. The Village Board will consider this application following a public hearing before the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals, which will then report its recommendation to the Village Board.

No action was taken by the Village Board regarding Triple Crown Training. MAYOR'S REPORT
