PARKING RESTRICTION ON WEST SIDE OF MAIN STREET BETWEEN LINCOLN STREET AND ROUTE 83 (ELMHURST ROAD). ELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON FOR 1994 I:� 10)[Qli- iT1:1 ONE-WAY SIGN IN MILBURN AVENUE AT ST. RAYMONDS SCHOOL TURNING RESTRICTIONS ON CATHY LANE PARKING SITUATION ON LOUIS STREET The Village Board of Trustees recommended at their November 16, 1993 Meeting that the parking problem on the 200 block of Louis Street be sent back to the Safety Commission . Based on further studies made on Louis Street, the Village Board rejected the Safety Commissions proposal to install parking along the west side of Louis Street. The Village Board recommended to the beauty shop that they attempt to obtain additional off- street parking to help solve the current problem. Attached is a letter from the beauty shop's lawyer to the adjacent property owner. Louis Street from Thayer Street north to Rand Road consists of a 14' wide pavement with a 6' gravel shoulder. Existing right-of-way width is 50'. The actual pavement is situated within the right-of-way such that there is only about 1.5' of gravel shoulder within the public property along the east side. From Rand Road to approximately 250' south of Rand Road the right-of-way widens to 66'. The existing pavement width of Louis Street is 19' within this area. Existing Village ordinances allow for on -street parking on both sides of the 200 block of Louis Street. Louis. Street is considered a 2 -way street even though traffic on Rand Road is not allowed to turn onto Louis Street. L3 NUDO, POTERACKI & ASSOCIATES, P.C. OF COUNSEL DANIEL O.

(708) 825-6020 November 24, 1993 Re: Vacant Real Estate Southeast of and Adjoining 705 East Rand Road, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 Our File No. 10386.01 Dear Mr. Spiewak: Thank you for taking the time to discuss with me your plans and expectations with respect to the above captioned property. As I indicated to you in our telephone conversation, my client would be interested in expanding his parking facility by either acquiring a portion of the property above captioned, or by leasing the property for that purpose. It is my understanding based on our conversation that the property now owned by Century Tile consists of essentially two (2) parcels containing in the aggregate, approximately 107,000 square feet. The parcel immediately east of and adjoining my client's parcel consists of approximately 8,700 square feet. The parcel east of and adjoining that parcel which you and I refer to as Parcel No. 2, then accounts for the difference in the total square footage. It would appear that in order for my client to have a meaningful improvement, sufficiently large to accommodate the parking of all of the employees and customers at peak periods, Mr -and Mrs. Tenuta would require the 8,700 square feet which we have characterized as Parcel No. 1. With this by way of background, I am asking you to please consider upon what basis you would do any one or more of the following: 1. Sell to Mr. and Mrs. Tenuta Parcel No. 1 unimproved. 2. Enter into a Lease/Purchase arrangement whereby the Tenutas would have the ability to lease the property from you currently with an option or right of first refusal to purchase, at some point in the future. 3. Enter into a Lease for the property for the specific use as a parking facility. Paul Spiewak, Jr./Century Tile Company November 24, 1993 Page 2 I want to thank you for your courtesy and ask if you would please respond at your first convenience. Sincerely, Denn' S. Nudo DSN/sh cc: Mr. and Mrs. Louis Tenuta Mr. Michael Janonis Ms. Janet Hansen Mr. Fred W. Tennyson It STOP SIGN REQUEST ON EMERSON STREET AT MILBURN AVENUE At the October 11, 1993 Safety Commission Meeting, Andy Mitchell requested that the Police Department conduct a speed study on Emerson Street at Milburn Avenue.
