REGULAR AGENDA

*PLANNING, BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT*

8.2 25-0431

Committee action to approve a major modification request for a private road, Shields Township.

• The Arden Shore Estates Subdivision was platted in 1927; however, portions of Douglas Terrace and Melvin Drive rights-of way were not improved and remain as private roads.

• Three homes were constructed along Melvin Drive between the 1970s and 1980s, prior to the adoption of the current road improvement standards; the remainder of the abutting lots are vacant.

• Jessica and Michael Chappell, record owners of 201 Melvin Drive, are seeking major modifications to allow more than three lots to be served by a private road and a reduction of minimum road improvement standards to allow the current road surface to remain as-is.

• Lake County staff does not recommend approval.

8.3 25-0601

Committee action approving a minor modification to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Planned Unit Development (PUD) #3455 to allow additional on-site improvements - District 18.

• Sunrise Day Camp was originally approved as part of a CUP for PUD #3455 in 2005 to allow a day camp and day care facility and was most recently amended via a minor modification request in 2023 for campus enhancements.

• The subject property is comprised of 34 acres (approximately) and is located at 23280 N. Old McHenry Road, Lake Zurich, Illinois.

• The applicant, JFMC Facilities Corporation, operator of Sunrise Day Camp, has petitioned for a minor modification to the approved PUD to allow for an impervious surface increase of 13,317 sq ft. and a floor area increase of 3,380 sq. ft. to accommodate additional outdoor recreational and educational programing.

• Staff has reviewed the request for a minor modification and recommends approval.

8.4 25-0602

Discussion on proposed adoption of the 2024 International Code Council (ICC) Building Codes and the 2023 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 National Electrical Code.

• The Planning, Building and Development Department periodically updates its building codes.

• The last update occurred in 2023 with adoption of the 2018 ICC Building Codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code with amendments.

• Ongoing ICC code updates are a factor in Lake County’s Community Rating System (CRS) classification.

• Lake County’s current “Class 6” rating yields a 20 percent discount on flood insurance policies, at a previously reported average annual savings of $295 for policy holders whose properties are in the floodplain (a total of over $121,000 annually across all policy-holders).

• To ensure the County’s continued eligibility for its current CRS rating of “Class 6”, the County is now required to update its codes to the most recent ICC publications. Updates between the 2018 and 2024 series are largely minor and technical in nature.

• Staff will present the proposed amendments to the 2024 ICC series and the 2023 NFPA 70 code for Committee discussion prior to bringing the ordinance forward for adoption.
