CALL TO ORDER Chairman Norm Kurtz called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners John Arndt, Brace Gillilan, David Lindgren, Ben Trapani and Tom Zander were present. Commissioner Pat Biedar was absent. Also present were Mayor Farley and Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the May 2, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Status Update Mr. Cooney said he would provide a brief overview of the primary development projects in town to reserve the majority of the meeting time for the Commission to discuss the next steps in downtown redevelopment. Mr. Cooney indicated that the Costco development was on hold while the bankruptcy court reviewed the release of the Montgomery Ward lease for the site. He stated that the initial November 11 grand opening day was likely going to be pushed into Spring, 2003. He stated he is also working with Applebee's Restaurant to relocate their facility to an outlot location along Rte. 83. Mr. Cooney then informed the Commission that the Mount Prospect Plaza improvements continue to move forward and it is hoped that Dominick's will begin a renovation of their facility by the end of the year. Mr. Cooney also provided an update on the prospective tenants for the Lofts development in the Downtown and various other projects throughout town. NEW BUSINESS Discussion Regarding Next Steps for Downtown Redevelopment Chainmn Kurtz opened the discussion regarding what potential next steps could occur for downtown redevelopment. Chairman Kurtz indicated that hc thought there were several areas that the Village could focus on as we proceed through thc redevelopment process. He stated that he felt that there were four specific areas that the Village could pursue. The first would bc thc extension of the boundaries of the Tax Increment Financing Disthct to include the Cantml Plaza Shopping Center at the comer of Rte. 83 and Central. He indicated that he also felt the Village could pursue rezoning additional properties surrounding thc downtown area to the B-5 designation to encourage further redevelopment of the downtown area. He felt that the northeast comer of Northwest Highway and Emerson, which includes the Van Driel's property, could be targeted for redevclopmant effort and he felt that the Village needs to further pursue thc rcdevelopmant of the small triangle area of the northwest comer of Rte. 83 and Northwest Highway. Their was significant discussion regarding many of these items and it was agreed that it would be beneficial to prioritize these types of issues so that the Village could focus on one item at a time. The Commission also discussed what the appropriate process would be to prioritize these steps. Chairman Kurtz suggested that it might be appropriate for the Strategic Ad Hoc Committee to reconvene to assess the success of the current efforts and to make further recommendations on the next steps for the downtown conomic Development Commission June 6, 2002 Minutes Page 2 redevelopment. There was general concurrence among the Commissioners that this would be an appropriate step and the Ad Hoc Committee would be the ideal group to review those items. It was suggested that Chairman Kurtz draft a letter to the Village Board summarizing the discussion that the Commission had and recommending that the Ad Hoc Committee be reconvened to discuss these issues. Chairman Kurtz indicated he would draft a letter and e-mail it to all Commissioners for their review and comment. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Kurtz had no comments.

Recycled Paper - Printed with Soy Ink MINUTES VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT COFFEE WITH COUNCIL SATURDAY, JULY 13, 2002 9:00 A.M. 2nd Floor Conference Room, Village Hall The meeting was convened at 9:00 a.m. Those present were Trustees Timothy Corcoran, Miehaele Skowron, and Irvana Wilks. Representing Village staff was Village Manager Michael Janonis, Deputy Director of Public Works Scan Dorsey and Chief of Police Richard Eddington. Residents In Attendance Chris Morgan Marge Serney Lorraine Bretag Pam Baker Carol Tortorello Joanne Engstrom Josh Rominski Peter Gogolewski Jeff Bruner 219 S. Wille 215 S. Wille 809 Edgewood 412 Harbor Circle 223 S Elmhurst Avenue 110 N. Kenilworth Avenue 210 S. Main Street 508 N. Main Street 220 S. Terry Chris Morgan~ 219 S. Wille Ms. Morgan expressed concerns about the parking situation at her residence. She was conceraed that she unable to expand her driveway because of the drip line of a tree. Deputy Director of Public Works Scan Dorsey explained the concept behind the drip line. There was additional discussion regarding garbage can pads. A review of this matter will be undertaken to see who in the neighborhood was charged for garbage can pads and who was not. The issue of parking cars on driveway aprons was discussed. Thc rule currently is if it docs not block the sidewalk or the roadway it is acceptable, even though it is unsightly. There was also an issue brought up of parking commercial vehicles with ladders on them. Additionally, a question of trenching or sewer work, with the issue being restoration of the property once the trenching has settled. Lorraine Bretag~ 809 Edgewood, .P. gm Baker, 412 Harbor Circle Lorraine Bretag and her daughter, Para Baker, wanted to discuss an ongoing issue about an easement, adjacent to their property. Mrs. Bretag had several concerns that other neiglabors had been treated differently; however, it was explained that due to the probable Page 1 of 3 economic enhancement based on the ability to subdivide the property, the Village felt that it had a fiduciary to sell the easement for $25,000. Further, the Village trustees collectively pointed out that the arrangement offered Ivlrs. Bretag allows her to lien the property so that she would never have to pay the money until the property was sold or subdivided. Carol Tortorello, 223 S. Elmhurst Avenue Carol Tortorello said the parade was wonderful except for the air horns on the tow truck. The Fire Depat'tment air hems are okay, but the tow truck air horns are not. Trustee Skowron mentioned the Daily Herald editorial that suggested a no noise policy. Carol also inquired as to whether or not the police honor guard would be available for next year's parade. A general discussion of the video of the parade ensued. The trustees expressed concerns about gaps in the parade and the length of the parade, but were very positive about the staggered reporting times for the marching bands. Requests for a larger reviewing stand to accommodate Ross and Jill. There was no audio on the rebroadcast of the parade and the handheld cameras were not stabilized, which resulted in a bounce that was unacceptable for the TV picture. One of the issues for shortening the parade would be to have all kids on floats, as this is the primary reason for gaps in the parade. Josh Rominski~ 210 S. Main Street Josh Rominiski came by to comment on parking traffic problems in an alley behind his residence. The major issue occurs on Sunday mom'mg when St. Mark's Church congregation exits the parking lot. Apparently the re-stripping of the parking lot left no way to exit the lot. Consequently, the parishioners have become quite inventive in their methods of exiting their property. Village Manager Janonis said that the review would start with the traffic engineers and contact with Pastor Joan of St. Marks. Peter Gogolewski~ 508 N. Main Street Peter Gogolewski asked that someone from Public Works stop by aud look at some adjacent property that has maintenance issues. Deputy Director of Public Works Scan Dorsey agreed to call him on Monday to set up a time. Jeff Bruner~ 220 S. Terry Jeff Bruner came by to discuss the concept Of background checks for Village volunteers. A wide-ranging exchange of views occurred on this matter regarding rights of privacy for the volunteers and due diligence on the part of the Village. The topics of ethic statements and conflict of interest statements were addressed and also, a definition of a disqualifying event. It was further discussed that the focus for each commission may be different. For instance, the Youth Commission might have a more in-depth background and the Finance Commission might be more focused on b~nlcmptoy issues. It was agreed that there was a desire to have a discussion at the Committee of the Whole Meeting where the entire Community would be invited to attend and discuss the issue. Chris Morgan. 219 Wille Chris Morgan asked for an inspection of the pedestrian railroad track crossings at Rte 83. There were gaps in the crossing where walkers could get either their feet caught or walking aids caught crossing the tracks. Joanne Engstrora~ 110 N. Kenilworth Avenue ' Joarme Engstom was asking direction on an ongoing neighbor dispute. This issue was discussed by TrusW. e Wilks and Village Manager Janonis at length. The Meeting was adjourned at 11:1 $ a~m.
