MINUTES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION 2nd Floor Conference Room, Village Hall Thursday, May 2, 2002 8:00 a.m. The meeting of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) of the Village of Mount Prospect was held on Thursday, May 2, 2002 in the second floor conference room of Village Hall, 100 South Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, lllinois. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Norm Kurtz called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners Pat Biedar, Brace Gillilan, David Lindgren, Ben Tmpani and Tom Zander were present. Commissioner John Arndt was absent. Also present were Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development and Susan Mas6 Planner. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the February 7, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Status Update Mr. Cooney distributed a handout dated April 19 that provided an overall update of many projects in the Village. Mr. Cooney said that Costco was moving forward with the demolition of the Montgomery Wards facility at Randhurst and their goal remains to be opened by mid-November of this year. He also informed the EDC that Kohl's was looking to expand their existing location, likely further into the mall, and that they were working with Rouse to achieve this. He stated that Applebee's was investigating developing an outlot facility along Rte. 83 in front of Circuit City. Mr. Cooney then indicated that the 3Com Building was up for contract andit would likelybe divided among three tenants. The front 1/3 ofthebuildingwouldbe utilized for office uses, the middle 1/3 for manufacturing purposes and the rear 1/3 of the building for warehousing and distribution. Mr. Cooney also informed the EDC that there was a petition for a 24-unit town home development at 791 E. Rand Road, immediately north of the Mitchell Buick site. He stated that staff was opposed to residential use at this location but that the Village Board had denied a commercial use there last year. Commissioner Lindgren recused himself from all discussion regarding the subject property. Other members indicated a strong preference to maintain the commercial integrity of Rand Road and felt that a residential development at this site would be detrimental to the character of the Rand Road corridor. Mr. Cooney then reviewed the Mount Prospect Plaza, AutoBam, Fiesta Market and other commercial projects currently underway in Mount Prospect. NEW BUSINESS Downtown Activities Mr. Cooney provided a brief overview of the status ofretait tenants in the downtown area. He stated that The Comer Bakery was planning on opening their new facility by the middle of June. He stated that there are several national tenants who were reviewing the site and he was hopeful that the 20,000 s.f. retail component of this project would be fully leased by mid-summer. There was general discussion regarding the overall status of the downtown redevelopment efforts. Several members indicated the desire to expand the geographic boundaries of the downtown, similarly to what Arlington Heights has done. It was stated that the Village would not necessarily have to actively develop those properties but that a rezoning of some the surrounding residential areas to commercial would initiate private investment in those areas. There was also discussion regarding the value of including the Senior Center facility within the New Village Hail project. There was general consensus that the Seniors in Mount Prospect would be better served by developing a separate location Economic Development Commission May 2, 2002 Minutes Page 2 from the Village Hall development. There was strong belief that the basement of Randhurst would be an ideal location for the Seniors since many of them currently utilize Randhurst on a regular basis and that this would also help stimulate additional activities in the Randhurst Mall. The Commission indicated that, at their next meeting, theY would like to discuss the downtown plan further and discuss the next steps in order to continue the momentum that is currently underway for the downtown activities. CI:IAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Kurtz had no comments. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m. The next meeting will be held on June 6, 2002. Respectfully submitted, William J.
