SUBJECT:
PZ-46-04: V ARIA nON (OVERSIZED DETACHED GARAGE)
1310 BURNING BUSH LANE
TED DRAG - APPLICANT
The Petitioner is appealing the Planning & Zoning Commission's decision to deny a request for an oversized
detached garage (Case No. PZ-46-04) for the residence at 1310 Burning Bush Lane (the "Subject Property"). The
Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their January 27,2005 meeting.
The attached exhibits indicate that the location of the proposed garage would comply with the required setbacks.
However, the size and height of the garage exceed the maximum size permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. The
Petitioner proposes to construct a 750 sq. f1. garage, which exceeds the maximum 672 sq. ft. permitted. In
addition, the height of the proposed garage is 13.25', which exceeds the 12' (measured from the mid-point)
permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request in great detail. Several Commissioners
stated their preference to have the Petitioner store the Bass boat and yard furniture inside the proposed garage as a
way to minimize storage in the yard and on the driveway. However, they also stated that the Variation request
was not based on a hardship and that the Petitioner has alternatives to building a 750 sq. ft. garage to meet his
storage requirements.
There was further discussion regarding other garages that were granted Variations and exceeded the 672 sq. ft.
limitation. The Commissioners noted that only one garage received a Variation since the Zoning Ordinance was
recently amended to allow 672 sq. f1. garages. That Variation was granted to allow an addition to an existing
garage to accommodate a workshop room, but the approval was conditioned on: 1) a shed could not be
constructed on the subject property; 2) the existing rear garage wall had to remain, but modified to allow a door
no larger than 3'6" to provide access between the addition and the garage; and 3) the exterior access door to/from
the addition could not exceed six-feet in width.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 3-4 to deny the Variation to allow a 750 sq. ft. garage that would
measure 13.25' from the mid-point of the roof, Case No. PZ-46-04, at 1310 Burning Bush Lane.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 15,2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

INTERESTED PARTIES:

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
revised minutes of the October 28, 2004 meeting; and Joe Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was
approved 4-0, with abstentions by Leo Floros, Matt Sledz and Keith Younquist. Matt Sledz moved to approve
the minutes of the November 11, 2004 meeting and Merrill Cotten seconded the motion. The minutes were
approved 5-0, with abstentions by Leo Floros and Keith Younquist. Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-46-04,
a Variation request for the size and height of a detached garage. She said that this case is Planning & Zoning
Commission Final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, summarized the Staff Report. She said that the Subject Property is located on
the west side of Burning Bush Lane, between Cree Lane and Euclid A venue, and contains a single-family
residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single Family Residence and is
bordered by the Rl District on the north, west, and south and by the CR Conservation Recreation District to the
east, River Trails Park District. The Subject Property is slightly larger than the typical Rl lot and has a
rectangular shape. The Petitioner would like to demolish the existing garage, repave the driveway, and
construct an oversized detached garage. The proposed garage would comply with the zoning setbacks; however,
the proposed driveway would need to be modified to comply with the code. The Zoning Ordinance limits the
size of the driveway width to no more than 23' after 15' from the front elevation of the garage. In order to
comply with the zoning regulations, the Petitioner would need to change the color or the material of the adjacent
patio so the driveway does not exceed the 23' width limitation.
Ms. Connolly reviewed the Petitioner's exhibits, which illustrated that the proposed garage would measure
30'x25', which is 750 sq. ft., and would measure 13.25' from the mid-point of the roof. She said that the
Zoning Ordinance allows detached garages up to 672 sq. ft. and the height cannot exceed 12' when measured
Planning & Zoning Commission

from the mid-point of the roof. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking Variations for the height and size of the
proposed oversized garage.
Ms. Connolly said that the proposed garage would be constructed of white vinyl siding and have a 6: 12 pitch
roof. Vehicles would enter/exit the garage on the east elevation through either a 16' wide double door or a
single, ] 0' wide single door. In addition, there would be a service door and two windows on the north elevation.
The Petitioner states in his application that the oversized garage is necessary to accommodate storage needs,
which include a boat. Several of the Petitioner's neighbors signed a petition stating they are not opposed to the
proposed garage.
The existing home does not comply with current Village zoning regulations because the house encroaches into
the required front yard by one inch. Also, the existing detached garage encroaches into the required side yard
setback. However, the Petitioner would demolish this garage and construct a garage that meets the required
setbacks. The standards for a Variation are listed in the Zoning Ordinance and include specific findings that
must be made in order to approve a Variation. Ms. Connolly summarized the standards and said that the
Petitioner is proposing to construct an oversized garage to provide additional storage. The Petitioner states that
he only has a subbasement, which does not meet his storage requirements. Also, he states that the oversized
garage would allow him to store his 'yard' furniture and boat inside the garage, as opposed to parking the boat
on the driveway, which is permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner provided a list of oversized garages with his application. She said that five
of the garages are in the Village's corporate limits. Staff researched the information provided by the Petitioner,
but could not confirm the size of all the garages listed. She said that the table in the Staff Report documents that
only one oversized garage received a Variation since the Zoning Ordinance was changed to allow larger
detached garages (672 square feet).
Based on the information submitted by the Petitioner, the Variation is needed to accommodate the Petitioner's
living requirements, which does not meet the Zoning Ordinance's definition of a hardship. Ms. Connolly said
that the Petitioner has the option of adding onto the house and/or constructing a shed to store some items.
However, any of these alternatives would require modifying the driveway and patio to ensure the site continued
to meet lot coverage requirements.
Although the requested Variations are unlikely to have a detrimental effect on neighborhood character, the
request fails to support a finding of hardship, as required by the Variation standards in the Zoning Ordinance.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the Variations to
permit a 750 square foot garage that would measure 13.25' from the mid-point of the roof, for the residence at
1310 Burning Bush Lane, Case No. PZ-46-04. The Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is final for this
case.
Ms. Juracek asked Ms. Connolly to review the e-mail from a neighbor inquiring whether adverse water run-off
conditions would be created as a result of this Variation. Ms. Connolly said that she had contacted the
Engineering Department to answer the resident's question. Engineering found that the Petitioner's request
would not exceed the Village's lot coverage limitations. Therefore, constructing a new garage should not
adversely impact drainage.
Matt Sledz asked about the Variation that had been granted since the Text Amendment that allowed larger
garages had been adopted. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner could have done a 10 x 12 shed, but wanted a
larger garage instead of the shed. The P&Z approved the larger garage on the condition that a shed would never
be built. That case was final with the P&Z.
Ted Drag, 1310 Burning Bush Lane, was sworn in. He said that he has lived in his Mount Prospect home for
three years. He said Ms. Connolly had covered all points of his petition very well. He said he designed the
garage so his Bass boat would fit perfectly during storage time. He has hired a professional architect and builder

and will change the color of the driveway concrete to meet zoning regulations. He described several other large
size garages in the area. He said he investigated the water drainage issue, which is a problem in their area, and
said he is sure he will not add to it with this garage. He also said he will not need a shed in the future if he is
allowed to build this garage to these proportions. The Planning & Zoning Commission asked Mr. Drag about
his current storage situation. Mr. Drag said he presently keeps vehicles and his boat on the driveway.
Ms. Juracek asked if any audience members wished to speak. Since nobody came forward, she closed the
Public Hearing. She said a petition from the neighborhood was submitted and that it is in favor of the request.
Mr. Cotten said the residents want to get vehicles and boats off the driveways. Mr. Donnelly agreed as did Mr.
Floros, although he said he has mixed feelings because the Text Amendment has just been written and
exceptions were already being made. Mr. Rogers said he agreed with Mr. Floros; he said he felt a line had to be
drawn somewhere. Mr. Sledz also had similar comments. He thought the premise of not building a shed on the
property was appealing, but a new owner might not abide by that rule. Ronald Roberts said he thought a deeper
garage could store the boat without being that much larger.
Richard Rogers made a motion to approve a Variation for a 750 sq. ft. detached garage that measured 13.25'
from the mid-point of the roof for the residence at 1310 Burning Bush Lane, Case No. PZ-46-04. Merrill Cotten
seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Cotten, Donnelly, and Juracek
NAYS: Floros, Rogers, Youngquist, and Sledz
Motion was denied 4-3.
Ms. Juracek explained to Mr. Drag that he had the option to appeal the P&Z's decision to the Village Board
within five calendar days and that Ms. Connolly would follow up to explain that procedure to him.
After hearing four more cases, Richard Rogers made a motion to adjourn at 11 :45 p.m., seconded by Joe
Donnelly. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
JANUARY 20,2005
HEARING DATE:
JANUARY 27,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-46-04 - VARIATION (OVERSIZED GARAGE)
1310 BURNING BUSH LANE (DRAG RESIDENCE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 27, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Ted D. Drag (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 1310 Burning Bush Lane (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to allow a 750 sq. ft. detached garage that measures
13.25' fì'om the midpoint when the Zoning Ordinance permits detached garages up to 672 sq. ft. and no more than
12' in height when measured from the mid-point of the roof. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the
January 12, 2005 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required \VTitten
notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Burning Bush Lane, between Cree Lane and Euclid Avenue,
and contains a single-family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single
Family Residence and is bordered by the RI District on the north, west, and south and by the CR Conservation
Recreation District to the east (River Trails Park District). The Subject Property is slightly larger than the typical
R I lot and has a rectangular shape.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner would like to demolish the existing garage, repave the driveway, and construct an oversized
detached garage. Originally, the Petitioner's proposal exceeded the maximum amount of permitted lot coverage,
but the project was revised to comply with the 45% lot coverage limitation. The attached exhibits have been
revised to reflect a 45% lot coverage. The proposed garage would comply with the zoning setbacks; however, the
proposed driveway would need to be modified to comply with the code. The Zoning Ordinance limits the size of
the driveway width to no more than 23' after 15' from the front elevation of the garage. In order to comply with
the zoning regulations, the Petitioner would need to change the color or the material of the adjacent patio so the
driveway does not exceed the 23' width limitation.
The Petitioner's exhibits indicate that the proposed garage would measure 30'x25', which is 750 sq. ft., and
would measure 13.25' from the mid-pint of the roof. The Zoning Ordinance allows detached garages up to 672
sq. ft. and the height cannot exceed 12' when measured from the mid-point of the roof. Therefore, the Petitioner
is seeking Variations for the height and size of the proposed oversized garage.

The Petitioner's exhibits illustrate that the garage would be constructed of white vinyl siding and have a 6: 12
pitch ;-oof. Vehicles would enter/exit the garage on the east elevation through either a 16' wide double door or a
single, 10' wide single door. In addition, there would be a service door and two windows on the north elevation.
The Petitioner states in his application that the oversized garage is necessary to accommodate storage needs,
which include a boat. Several of the Petitioner's neighbors signed a petitioner stating they are not opposed to the
proposed garage.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The existing home does not comply with current Village zoning regulations because the house encroaches into the
required front yard by one (1) inch. Also, the existing detached garage encroaches into the required side yard
setback. However, the Petitioner would demolish this garage and construct a garage that meets the required
setbacks. The following table compares the Petitioner's proposal to the Rl Single Family Residence District's
bulk requirements.

Rear 25' 82.12' (house) No Change

LOT COVERAGE 45% Maximum 38% 45%
V ARIA nON STANDARDS
The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these
findings:
.
A hardship due to the physical sun-oundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
.
.
Protection ofthe public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
The Petitioner is proposing to construct an oversized garage to provide additional storage. The Petitioner states in
the attached application that he only has a subbasement, which does not meet his storage requirements. Also, he
states that the oversized garage would allow him to store his 'yard' furniture and boat inside the garage, as
opposed to parking the boat on the driveway.
As part of the application, the Petitioner provided a list of oversized garages, 5 of which are in the Village's
corporate limits. Staff could not confinl1 the size of all the garages listed, but the following table includes other
oversized garages that received Variation approval.

1310 Burning Bush Lane 750 SQ. ft.
*= Staff does not have a record of a Variation
** = Only Variation approved after the Zoning Ordinance was changed to permit 672 sq. ft. garages.
Based on the infonnation submitted by the Petitioner, the Variation is needed to accommodate the Petitioner's
living requirements, which does not meet the Zoning Ordinance's definition of a hardship ("A practical difficulty
in meeting the requirements of this chapter because of unusual surroundings or condition of the property involved,
or by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a zoning lot, or because of unique topography,
underground conditions or other unusual circumstances"). The Petitioner has the option of adding onto the house
and/or constructing a shed to store some items. However, any of these alternatives would require modifying the
driveway and patio to ensure the site continued to meet lot coverage requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Although the requested variations are unlikely to have a detrimental effect on neighborhood character, the request
fails to support a finding of hardship, as required by the Variation standards in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the
Variations to permit a 750 square foot garage that would measure 13.25' from the mid-point of the roof, for the
residence at 1310 Burning Bush Lane, Case No. PZ-46-04. The Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is
final for this case.

MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
FEBRUARY 11,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-03-05: VARIATION (EXTERIOR SIDE Y ARD- GARAGE ADDI
1451 W. LINCOLN STREET
STEVE MILLER - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-03-05, a Variation to
allow a 14,59' exterior side yard, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning
Commission heard the request at their January 27, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is a corner lot, located within a single-family residential neighborhood. The attached
exhibits illustrate the Petitioner's proposed improvements to the existing home, which include a one-story
addition to the house in the rear, an unenclosed porch, and an addition to the existing garage to accommodate a
third vehicle. The proposed unenclosed porch would encroach one-foot into the required front yard; the P&Z
granted Conditional Use approval for this request January 27, 2005. (The P&Z's decision is final for this part of
the zoning case,) However, the addition to the garage would encroach to'5" resulting in a 14.59' exterior side
yard, which requires Village Board approval.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's plans for the house. They discussed the safest
manner in which to access the garage and traffic volume on Busse Road. The P&Z noted that the garage addition
would be close to the right-of-way and that most of the other structures in the area complied with the required
setbacks. One Commission stated his doubts that the County would ever widen Busse Road. There was
discussion regarding the probability of Cook County Highway Department approving a curb-cut for the Petitioner
to access a new garage from Busse Road, how it would be difficult to enter/exit the driveway from Busse Road
during rush hour, and how the existing right-turn only lane (from Busse Road to Lincoln Street) would impact
access to/from the Petitioner's property. The Planning & Zoning Commission members voted 5-2 to recommend
that the Village Board approve a request for a Variation to permit the construction of an addition to the garage
14.59' from the exterior lot line (along Busse Road) at 1451 W. Lincoln Street, Case No. PZ-03-05.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 15,2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

INTERESTED PARTIES:
Steve Miller
Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
revised minutes of the October 28, 2004 meeting and Joe Donnelly seconded the motion to approve. The
motion was approved 4-0, with abstentions by Leo Floros, Matt Sledz and Keith Younquis1. Matt Sledz moved
to approve the minutes of the November 11, 2004 meeting; Merrill Cotten seconded the motion. The motion
was approved 5-0, with abstentions by Leo Floros and Keith Younquis1. Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-
03-05, a request for Conditional Use approval to construct an unenclosed porch in the required front yard and a
Variation to add on to the existing garage that would encroach into exterior side yard.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that the Subject Property is located on the south
side of Lincoln Avenue, between Busse Road and Ojibwa Trail, and contains a single-family residence with
related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single-Family Residence and is bordered on all sides
by the RX District. The Petitioner proposes to improve the house by adding a one-story addition to the house in
the rear, an unenclosed porch, and an addition to the existing garage to accommodate a third vehicle. As part of
the project, the Petitioner proposes to modify the front elevation of the house by adding dormers and modifying
the roofline. However, the Petitioner has not submitted floor plans that indicate a 'finished' second story
addition at this time. The addition to the house meets zoning regulations, but the porch and garage addition
encroach into the required setbacks,
Planning & Zoning Commission
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson
PZ-03-05
Page 2
The proposed unenclosed porch consists of a concrete base and wood columns. It would extend almost 6' from
the house, resulting in a 39' front yard setback when the Zoning Ordinance requires a 40' setback for this
district. Therefore, the proposed porch requires Conditional Use approval. Also, the proposed garage addition
would encroach 10.41' into the required 25' exterior side yard. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking a Variation
to construction the garage addition.
The existing home and addition to the rear of the house complies with the Village's zoning regulations.
However, the proposed porch and garage addition would encroach into required setbacks. In order to approve
the requests, the board has to find that they meet the standards for a Conditional Use and Variation, respectively,
which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards. She said that the proposed Conditional Use, the unenclosed porch,
would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, utility provision, or public streets,
and would be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. She noted that the
standards for a Variation are different than the Conditional Use standards and said that the Petitioner is
proposing to increase the size of the garage to accommodate a third vehicle, resulting in a 14.59' exterior side
yard setback.
Ms. Connolly said that the garage would continue to be accessed from Lincoln Avenue. The Subject Property is
rectangular in shape and exceeds the minimum lot size for the RX district. The Petitioner examined the
possibility of constructing a new 3-car garage that would front onto Busse Road. However, they stated exiting
onto Busse Road would be dangerous due to the high traffic volume on Busse Road. In addition, the new curb
cut would require a permit from Cook County Highway because Busse Road falls under CCH jurisdiction. The
Petitioner also explored redesigning the garage so they would be side loading, while still maintaining access
from Lincoln A venue. The Petitioner determined that there was not enough room to allow for an adequate
turning radius for this design. The manner in which the existing garage is located on the Subject Property, as
well as the traffic volume on Busse Road, create challenges for expanding the existing garage to accommodate a
third vehicle. However, a 3-car 'tandem-style' garage could be constructed and still utilize the same driveway;
this design would require removing the existing sun porch,
Ms. Connolly said that the Zoning Ordinance defines a hardship as "a practical difficulty in meeting the
requirements of this chapter because of unusual surroundings or condition of the property involved, or by reason
of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a zoning lot, or because of unique topography, underground
conditions or other unusual circumstances". Although the site is located on a corner, the site is not restricted by
a small lot width. However, these conditions exist throughout the surrounding neighborhood and are therefore
not unique to this property. The Petitioner has the option of modifying the existing garage so the addition meets
the 25-foot setback, as permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. While this design may not be the most convenient
option, the garage would meet the required setback.
Although the proposed garage addition may be constructed in an attractive manner, the Petitioner has other
alternatives that would meet zoning regulations. Also, while Staff can appreciate the Petitioner's desire for a 3-
car garage, there is no hardship and the proposed 3-car garage is more of a convenience. Based on this analysis,
Staff finds that the request does not meet the Variation standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. However,
Staff finds that the proposed unenclosed porch does meet the Conditional Use standards listed in the Zoning
Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends: The P&Z approve the unenclosed porch and allow it to encroach into
the required front yard, creating a front setback of no less than 35' for the residence at 1451 W. Lincoln Street,
Case No. PZ-03-05. The P&Z's decision is final for this part of the case. Staff recommends: The P&Z
recommend that the Village Board deny a Variation to allow a garage addition to encroach into the required
exterior side yard, creating a 14.59' setback for the residence at 1451 W. Lincoln Street, Case No. PZ-03-05.
The Village Board's decision is final for this part of the case because the request is more than 25% of the
Zoning Ordinance requirement.

Ms. Juracek noted there is a lot of green space between the fence and Busse Road and asked if that is an
easement. Ms. Connolly said that was right of way that belongs to the County and that the road could possibly
be widened in the future.
Steve Miller, 233 Hatlen, Mount Prospect, was sworn in. He explained that his detached garage has been
broken into where he presently lives and he feels that an attached garage offers more security. He also feels the
turnaround would be a great advantage when his children start to drive. Ms. Juracek asked if the wooden fence
on the Busse side would remain. Mr. Miller said it would.
Mr. Rogers said it would be difficult to approve this requested garage, being so close to Busse Road, and asked
Mr. Miller if he would consider a two-step garage, keeping one car in back of another. Mr. Miller said he had
thought of that, but obviously it would not be as convenient or as aesthetically pleasing in appearance.
Several Planning & Zoning Commissioners noted that this garage would be very close to Busse Road if Busse
were widened, and that it would be the only structure that close to Busse. Mr. Youngquist asked if Mr. Miller
resided in the house at present. He said he did not, that he lived two blocks away. Mr. Youngquist and Ms.
Juracek said a condition of granting a Variation was proving a hardship and no hardship was being proven in
this case.
Mike Pollera was sworn in. He said he was the general contractor for the project and represented the architect
who was unable to be at the hearing. He said that the architect had gone through as many designs as possible to
try to stay within Code, including demolishing the present garage, but could not design a more acceptable plan.
A tandem garage would have required destruction of part of the existing house and consequent weakening of the
structure.
Ms. Juracek asked if there was any further comment from the audience. Being none, she closed the Public
Hearing and brought discussion back to the P&Z.
Leo Floros said he could support this project because he does not think Busse will be widened in the near future.
He said there is a turn lane at Busse and Lincoln, which affords sufficient land area. Mr. Floros said that to
orient the garage towards Busse would be a serious mistake; it would be dangerous or they would be unable to
get in or out during rush hours.
Richard Rogers made a motion for Conditional Use approval to allow construction of an unenclosed porch that
would encroach in the required front yard at 1451 W. Lincoln St., Case No. PZ-03-05. Merrill Cotten seconded
the motion. The Planning and Zoning Board's decision is final for this case.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Cotten, Donnelly, Floros, Rogers, Sledz, Youngquist and Juracek
NAYS: None
Motion was approved 7-0,
Mr. Donnelly asked Mr. Miller to return to the podium and explain if he needed the turnaround whether or not
the 3-car garage addition was approved. Mr. Miller said yes, he did need the turnaround because of the traffic
coming off of Busse onto Lincoln. Ms. Juracek agreed, saying yes, there is not actually a left-turn lane at that
location, cars just go onto the walkway to make the turn.
Richard Rogers made a motion to recommend approval for a Variation to allow a 14.59' exterior side yard for
the proposed Garage Addition, as shown on the Petitioner's site plan at 1451 W. Lincoln St., Case No. PZ-03-
05. Merrill Cotten seconded the motion. It was noted that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
JANUARY 20,2005
HEARING DATE:
JANUARY 27,2005.
SUBJECT:
PZ-03-05-CONDITIONAL USE (PORCH) & VARIATION (EXTERIOR SIDE YARD)
1451 W, LINCOLN STREET (MILLER RESIDENCE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 27, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Steve Miller (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 1451 W, Lincoln Ave. (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested: 1) Conditional Use approval to allow the construction of an
unenclosed porch in the front yard, and 2) for a Variation to construct an addition to the attached garage that
would encroach in the exterior side yard. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the January 12, 2005 edition
of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners
within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the south side of Lincoln Avenue, between Busse Road and Ojibwa Trail, and
contains a single-family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single-Family
Residence and is bordered on all sides by the RX District.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to improve the house by adding a one-story addition to the house in the rear, an
unenclosed porch, and an addition to the existing garage to accommodate a third vehicle, As part of the project,
the Petitioner proposes to modify the front elevation of the house by adding dormers and modifying the roofline.
However, the Petitioner has not submitted floor plans that indicate a 'finished' second story addition at this time,
The addition to the house meets zoning regulations, but the porch and garage addition encroach into the required
setbacks.
The proposed unenclosed porch consists of a concrete base and wood columns. It would extend almost 6' from
the house, resulting in a 39' front yard setback when the Zoning Ordinance requires a 40' setback for this district.
Therefore, the proposed porch requires Conditional Use approval. Also, the proposed garage addition would
encroach 10.41' into the required 25' exterior side yard. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking a Variation to
construction the garage addition.

GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The existing home and addition to the rear of the house complies with the Village's zoning regulations. However,
the proposed porch and garage addition would encroach into required setbacks. The following table compares the
Petitioner's proposal to the RX Single-Family Residence District's bulk requirements,
RX Single-Family District
Minimum Requirements Existing: Proposed
SETBACKS:
Front 40' 42.42' 39'
Interior 10' 16.47' (east) No change
Exterior 25' 29.22' 14.59'
Rear 30' 100.54' 70.54'
LOT COVERAGE 35% Maximum 17% 27%
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
.
The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
.
.
Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
V illage streets; and
Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
.
The proposed Conditional Use (unenclosed porch) would not adversely affect the character of the sun"ounding
neighborhood, utility provision, or public streets, and the proposed Conditional Use will be in compliance with
the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
VARIATION USE STANDARDS
The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these
findings:
.
A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
.
PZ-03-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 27,2005

.
Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
The Petitioner is proposing to increase the size of the garage to accommodate a third vehicle, resulting in a 14.59'
exterior side yard setback. The garages would continue to be accessed from Lincoln A venue, The Subject
Property is rectangular in shape and exceeds the minimum lot size for the RX district. The Petitioner examined
the possibility of constructing a new, 3-car garage that would front onto Busse Road, However, they state in the
attached application that they feel exiting onto Busse Road would be dangerous due to the high traffic volume on
Busse Road. In addition, the new curb cut would require a permit from Cook County Highway because Busse
Road falls under CCH jurisdiction.
The Petitioner also explored redesigning the garages so they would be side loading, while still maintaining access
from Lincoln A venue. The Petitioner determined that there was not enough room to allow for an adequate turning
radius for this design.
The manner in which the existing garage is located on the Subject Property, as well as the traffic volume on Busse
Road, create challenges for expanding the existing garage to accommodate a third vehicle. However, a 3-car
'tandem-style' garage could be constructed and still utilize the same driveway; this design would require
removing the existing sun porch.
The Zoning Ordinance defines a hardship as "a practical difficulty in meeting the requirements of this chapter
because of unusual surroundings or condition of the property involved, or by reason of exceptional narrowness,
shallowness or shape of a zoning lot, or because of unique topography, underground conditions or other unusual
circumstances". Although the site is located on a corner, the site is not restricted by a small lot width, However,
these conditions exist throughout the surrounding neighborhood and are therefore not unique to this property. The
Petitioner has the option of modifying the existing garage so the addition meets the 25-foot setback, as permitted
by the Zoning Ordinance. While this design may not be the most convenient option, the garage would meet the
required setback.
RECOMMENDATION
Although the proposed garage addition may be constructed in an attractive manner, the Petitioner has other
alternatives that would meet zoning regulations. Also, while Staff can appreciate the Petitioner's desire for a 3-
car garage, there is no hardship and the proposed 3-car garage is more of a convenience, Based on this analysis,
Staff finds that the request does not meet the Variation standards contained in Section 14.203,c.9 of the Zoning
Ordinance. However, Staff finds that the proposed unenclosed porch does meet the Conditional Use standards
contained in Section 14.203,F,8 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends:
1) The P&Z approve the unenclosed porch and allow it to encroach into the required front yard, creating a
front setback of no less than 35' for the residence at 1451 W. Lincoln Street, Case No. PZ-03-05. The
P&Z's decision is final for this part of the case.
2) The P&Z recommend that the Village Board deny a Variation to allow a garage addition to encroach into
the required exterior side yard, creating a 14.59'setback for the residence at 1451 W. Lincoln Street, Case
No. PZ-03-05. The Village Board's decision is final for this part of the case.

RE: 1451 W. Lincoln Street.
Proposed Conditional Use: Unenclosed Front Porch - wI a 12 inch encroachment.
A request is hereby made to allow for the addition of an unenclosed front porch they may
encroach up to 12 inches into the front setback. The plan as submitted calls for the porch
to stop at the 40 foot Front yard setback as required in the Village Code,
However, for aesthetic reasons, it may be desirable to extend the porch an additional 12
jnches, thereby creating a 12 inch encroachment into the front setback. The porch is
intended to give more visual appeal to the front elevation of the home by breaking up the
long expanse of the main roof.
Variation Request: Addition of a 3rd stall to the existing garage.
A request is hereby made to allow for the addition of a 3rd stall to the existing garage
which will result in a 10.6 foot encroachment into the exterior side setback.
The addition of the 3rd stall is requested for several reasons.
1. Functional Obsolesces, The room addition being proposed (for which no variance
is being sought) will result in a 3200 + square foot residence, A 2-car garage for a
home of this size presents an issue of functional obsolesce. This home is being
renovated to accommodate a large family with multiple drivers and vehicles, The
addition and renovation is being undertaken to improve the functionality of the
propeliy, as well as to dramatically enhance its visual appeal from the street. The
owner is making a large investment in the improvements and has been advised
that a home of this sjze in this neighborhood would suffer from functional
obsolesces if it were served by less then a 3 car garage.
2. Visual appeal. In order to improve the visual appeal of the home~ the existing
roofline is being changed. Dormers are being added to the front elevation and
there will be an additional stepped backed gable in the rear. To further enhance
the appearance, the proposed 3rd garage bay would be stepped back from the main
structure. This will add yet another element of visual interest to the roofline and
soften the north & west elevations resulting in a positive impact on the
surrounding neighbors.
3. Uniqueness of the propeliy. The property is located on the South East corner of
Lincoln and Busse. The possibility of demolishing the existing garage and
constructing a new garage which exits onto Busse Road was explored. This
would have allowed the improvements to stay within the setback. However, in
addition to requiring the demolition of a major portion of the existing structure,
there were several issues that made this impractical and hazardous.
A. The driveway would have exited onto Busse Road only 5 car lengths south
of the stoplight at Lincoln. This is a very heavily trafficked area and the
driver would be trying to back out into 40 MPH traffic 50 feet from a
major intersection. There would also be no way for them to see cars that
were turning Southbound from Lincoln onto Busse. I think the board will
agree that this would create a dangers situation which would be
detrimental to the public welfare.
B. The possibility of turning the garages to face Busse but having the
driveway on Lincoln was also looked at. Unfortunately there is not
enough room to allow for an adequate turning radius.
After careful review of the options with an architect and other construction
professionals, it has become apparent the most functional and safest solution and the one
that offers the most positive impact on the neighbors, is the addition of a 3rd bay to the
west side of the existing garage.
This request is respectfully submitted for your review and consideration.

FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
FEBRUARY 11,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-02-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (PUD)
1-17 S. EMERSON STREET
NORWOOD BUILDERS - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-02-05, a request to
construct a 14-unit rowhome planned unit development on the east side of Emerson Street, south of Central Road
and north of Busse Avenue, The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their January 27, 2005
meeting.
The Subject Property is located at the southeast corner of Central Road and Emerson Street, and consists of
multiple vacant lots and a parking lot. The proposed development is consistent with the Village's Downtown
Strategic Plan, which calls for the Subject Property to be developed with rowhomes. The Petitioner is seeking
approval for the proposed Planned Unit Development as well as relief from storm water detention requirements
and building heights (rowhomes and detached garages).
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's project at length at the January 2ih meeting, The
Petitioner presented their request for the Planned Unit Development and requested an Exception from the
Development Code regulations pertaining to storm water detention requirements and Variations for the building
and garage heights, The Petitioner requested an exemption from storm water detention requirements for several
reasons: I) the rowhome project is in the B5 District and is across the street from projects in the B5C zoning
district, which is not required by Village Code to provide storm water detention; 2) physical space constraints
limit their ability to provide detention, and 3) the area does not currently have a flooding problem. The
Petitioner's Engineer explained how water would be managed on-site and answered questions from the Planning
& Zoning Commissioners about run-off and other Engineering designs and practices. There was lengthy
discussion regarding this request and possible options for the Petitioner to meet the intent of the Development
Code,
Several members of the P&Z stated their concerns that the garages were too large, There was lengthy discussion
regarding the style of the garage, its roof, and how a high-pitched roof was necessary to blend with the
architecture of the rowhomes. There was discussion regarding hydraulic lifts that could be installed to allow
owners the ability to park additional cars.
Several community residents addressed the Planning & Zoning Commission and stated their preference for a park
instead of the proposed rowhome development. Then several residents whose backyards are adjacent to the
PZ-02-05
February 11, 2005
Page 2
proposed project also addressed the P&Z and stated their support for the rowhomes. They asked questions about
the fence along the shared lot line and questions specific to the construction process.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Conditional
Use request for the proposed rowhome development and relief for building heights, Case No. PZ-02-05, subject to
the following conditions:
A. The Petitioner shall save as many of the existing trees as possible;

Since the January 2ih P&Z meeting, the Petitioner has worked to address concerns listed in the Staff memo and
raised at the P&Z meeting. However, the Petitioner is still seeking 100% relief from storm water detention
requirements and the Petitioner's Engineer has submitted information that outlines the impact of providing
detention as required by the Village Code.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
revised minutes of the October 28, 2004 meeting. Joe Donnelly seconded the motion, which was approved 4-0,
with abstentions by Leo Floros, Matt Sledz and Keith Younquist. Matt Sledz moved to approve the minutes of
the November 11, 2004 meeting, Merrill Cotten seconded the motion, which was approved 5-0, with
abstentions by Leo Floros and Keith Younquist. Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-02-05, a request for
Conditional Use approval for a Planned Unit Development and other relief from the Village Code as may be
required for the proposed 14-unit rowhome development. She noted that the request would be Village Board
final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the Staff Report, She said that the Subject Property is located at the
northeast corner of Busse A venue and Emerson Street, and consists of multiple vacant lots and a parking lot.
The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial and is bordered by the B5C District to the west, the
Library and Village Hall, RA Single Family District to the north and east, and Rl Single Family District to the
south. The Village Board adopted the Mount Prospect Downtown Strategic Plan in 1998. The Strategic Plan is
part of the Comprehensive Plan and it created a vision for downtown redevelopment based on work by the Ad
Planning & Zoning Commission
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson
PZ-O2-05
Page 2
Hoc Committee with input from the residents of Mount Prospect. A great deal of work on downtown
redevelopment has been completed since the plan was adopted. The plan was revisited last year and an ad hoc
committee confirmed that the redevelopment of the Subject Properties include rowhomes, with the buildings
oriented to the street and the garages and vehicle access oriented to the rear.
Ms. Connolly summarized the review procedure for a PUD and said that it requires review and recommendation
by the P&Z Commission and final action by the Village Board. She said that when reviewing the current
application, the P&Z Commission should consider that the Village Board selected the Petitioner's Request For
Proposal submittal (RFP) through a competitive process involving 8 development teams. Also, traffic patterns
on Emerson Street are under review and Staff is evaluating the feasibility of modifying the Emerson Street cross
section between Central Road and Busse A venue.
Ms. Connolly summarized the Petitioner's exhibits and said that the Petitioner is proposing a rowhome
development consisting of two clusters of 7 units, 14-units total; there would be two floor plans: both plans
include basements and 3-bedrooms. However, one floor plan would include the option of having 2 additional
bedrooms on the third floor; 2 and 3 car detached garages, accessed from a shared private drive; each unit would
have its own backyard and patio. The Village's adopted Streetscape Program would be installed along Emerson
Street and Central Road, but the development would include landscaping of private areas as well. The proposed
development is consistent with the Village's Downtown Strategic Plan, which calls for the Subject Property to
be developed with rowhomes. The Petitioner is seeking approval for the proposed Planned Unit Development,
which consists of 2 clusters of 7 -units each, located on multiple lots of record. The buildings would front onto
Emerson Street, with vehicle access from the private drive that is located behind the rowhomes. The
Petitioner's site plan indicates that the private drive would accommodate 2-way traffic and would be accessed
from Emerson Street and Central Road.
Ms. Connolly reviewed the Village's Zoning Ordinance bulk regulations for the development and noted that the
proposed development does not have a setback requirement. However, the Petitioner's site plan indicates that
the buildings would have staggered setbacks. The buildings would have no less than a 15' front setback and the
stairs leading up to the units would be setback no less than 7'. However, the Petitioner revised the site plan
since the Staff Report was written and will review the changes during their presentation.
The exhibits indicate varying heights for the buildings. The lowest part of the roof measures 30' from the mid-
point, but extends to 32'2" from highest point of the roof. However, the B5 District allows a maximum building
height of 30 feet and the Petitioner's elevations indicate that the building height would exceed this limitation.
The color elevations indicate that the style of the proposed buildings would be in keeping with other buildings
constructed as part of the downtown redevelopment and include elements of each project. The exhibits indicate
that the front elevations will be all 'Modular Brick', which is another name for standard residential brick.
However, sections of the rear elevations, side elevations, and some of the garages list 'Man Made Shake Siding'
as building materials. It is important to note that the building materials submitted as part of the RFP review
process differ from the materials listed on the Petitioner's exhibit. Therefore, the building materials must be
finalized prior to Village Board review to ensure the proposed building materials are the same as the materials
presented to the Village Board as part of the RFP process.
Vehicles would access the detached garages via an "L" shaped private driveway with curb cuts on Central Road
and Emerson Street. The Engineering Division has requested that the Central Road access be widened to 24'
and that the Central Road access be restricted to right-in/right-out only movements. In addition, the Strategic
Plan calls for the installation of a public park to the south of the Subject Property where the two single family
homes currently exist. Provisions should be made that at such time that the park is installed that the Subject
Property's private drive shall be extended south to Busse Avenue and that the segment accessing Emerson Street
shall be incorporated into the park. Ms. Connolly stated again that the Petitioner has revised the exhibits since
the Staff Report was written and would review the changes.

The Petitioner's Landscape Plan provides a concept of the proposed landscaping to be installed. However, the
plan does not incorporate the Village's Streetscape Plan and the correct improvements to be made on Emerson
Street and Central Road. Also, the plan does not specify the screening required along the east lot line.
Prior to Village Board review, a revised detailed landscape plan listing materials and sizes must be submitted for
Staff review. In addition, the revised plan needs to include additional trees throughout the development, have
the Central Road 'parkway trees' located on private property, south of the sidewalk, and identify the screening
along the east lot line.
The proposed development calls for 14 units on the 1.6 acre site. The Zoning Code allows a maximum density
of 16 units per acre in the B5 District. The proposed density complies with zoning regulations.
The Village's Zoning Ordinance requires 2.5 parking spaces for residential developments with 2-3 bedrooms.
The unit mix is not confirmed at this time, but the Petitioner's site plan indicates that vehicles will be parked in
either a 2-car or 3-car garage. The Fire Department has required that parking be prohibited in the private drive,
The project does not include Guest Parking, however there is on-street parking along Emerson Street in addition
to the Village parking deck. The Petitioner's revised exhibits indicate a 'lift' may be installed in the garage to
accommodate additional vehicles, which they will review as part of their presentation.
In response to Staff comments, the Petitioner proposes to create a 7' easement along the north lot line of the
Subject Property to allow for the continuation of the Village's Streetscape Program. A 7' wide public sidewalk
will be installed; however, physical constraints require the parkway trees to be located on the private property.
As previously stated, Staff is currently evaluating Emerson Street traffic patterns. Although the design has not
been finalized, 5.5' from the east side of Emerson Street must be dedicated to ensure proper traffic lane widths
and to allow for the installation of the Village's Streetscape Program.
Ms. Connolly said that the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She summarized
the standards and said that the development is designed to complement the existing and future downtown
developments in addition to generating pedestrian activity and multiple-use trips. Although the Mount Prospect
Downtown Strategic Plan calls for the rowhome development to extend from Central Road to Busse Avenue, the
Petitioner's proposal is in keeping with the plan. Also, the rowhome development provides a transitional land
use between the existing single-family residential homes and the surrounding commercial and institutional uses,
The development will have a positive effect on nearby properties and continue to stimulate the development of
the downtown area. Therefore, the development will have a limited adverse impact on the adjacent
neighborhoods, utility provision or public streets. Subject to compliance with the conditions of approval, the
proposal will comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Based on these
findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Petitioner's
request for Planned Unit Development proposal and proposed building height, subject to the conditions listed in
the staff report.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner has since revised their plans to address most of the conditions listed in the
Staff Report. She said that the latest revisions indicate that the Petitioner is seeking relief from storm water
detention requirements. However, the request was not based on a hardship as required by the code. She asked
that the Petitioner review the revised exhibits and identify any conditions not met but listed in the staff report.
Ms. Juracek asked why the original submittal did not include the request for relief from stormwater detention.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner thought the pröperty was exempt from onsite stormwater management based on
the development of the neighboring property. Ms. Connolly said the Development Code reads B5C Districts are
not required to provide stormwater detention. On January 25, the Petitioner submitted revised exhibits seeking
relief from stormwater detention, citing the reason that the properties across the street are exempt from the
requirement. The Planning & Zoning Commission would need to recommend approval and the Village Board
would need to grant relief if it was determined there was a hardship.

Mr. Rogers asked if there would continue to be parking allowed along Emerson Street in front of the rowhomes.
Ms. Connolly said at this time there were no plans to eliminate the public parking on the street. Mr. Donnelly
asked if emergency vehicles will use the private drive of the project and if they had approved it. Ms. Connolly
said the Fire Chief has tentatively approved the drive with one change, a striped 'pork chop' design instead of a
raised design. Keith Youngquist asked how refuse would be handled. Ms. Connolly said the garbage containers
would go in the private drive on garbage day for pick-up, not on Emerson Street.
There was discussion regarding overnight guest parking with no immediate solution. Ms. Juracek swore in
speakers for the petitioner and asked that they identify themselves when they presented.
Bruce Adreani, 7458 N. Harlem Avenue, Chicago, IL introduced himself as the owner of Norwood Builders and
Petitioner for the project known as Founders' Row. He introduced the Norwood staff members.
Jennifer Tammen, Director of Planning for Norwood Builders, 7458 N. Harlem Avenue, Chicago, IL, addressed
the P&Z. She said the planned luxury rowhomes of this development would be an aesthetic addition to, not just
the downtown, but also the entire Mount Prospect community. Ms. Tammen itemized other recent downtown
projects that have been, or are near completion. She reviewed the Vision Statement of the 1998 Strategic Plan
that included rowhomes in the downtown. Ms. Tammen reported on current market conditions and how this
project makes a 'good fit' at this time. She said Norwood agrees to all conditions listed in the Staff Report
except item "f', as they were requesting some relief or modification from stormwater detention requirements on
the grounds that the rowhomes are a downtown property like the other properties that did not have to provide
detention. Ms. Tammen stated that, given the size of the land in relation to the project, any extensive
stormwater management would be a hardship. The second item they would ask relief from is extending the
private drive to Busse A venue in the future. They would like to explore other options that would nót affect their
sale to a homeowners association. She said that this is new item and they have not had time to consider
alternative solutions.
Mike Breclow, Director of Design and Partner at OKW Architects, 600 W. Jackson, Chicago, spoke next. He said that
the project is located between institutional uses on one side and residential uses on the other. They looked to historic
precedent set in Chicago and Boston rowhomes for guidance, He discussed the generous and staggered setback
allowances and choice of trees, lined up with the home entrances, for the streetscape. The simple, yet timeless façade
is robust enough to stand up to the institutional uses surrounding it, the entrances neighborly, yet opaque. Each
rowhome has a private rear yard and both end units have generous side yards. The first floor of each unit is about 4-1/2
feet above grade and there is an English basement allowing for plenty of daylight to enter the basement. The end units
have opportunities for side windows and have 3-car brick garages and a I-story rear building extension. There would
be at least 5' of walkway and a recessed gate between each garage. Also, there would be a painted metal fence
between each sideyard. Mr. Breclow briefly described the generous floor plans, noting that each basernent would be
capable of being finished and having a bathroom added at a later date.
Ms. Tammen came back to the podium to show an example of the lifts available for installation in the garages
should buyers desire space for more cars. She explained that the automatic photocell lights outside of the
garages would be on one circuit that operates simultaneously without spilling onto neighbors' property. She
said this ended their formal presentation and they would answer any questions put forth by the P&Z
Commission.
Richard Rogers asked Ms. Tammen ifthey had done any parking or traffic studies for this project. Ms. Tammen
said no, they had not. Mr. Rogers asked why they had built all these projects in the downtown area without
exploring avenues for extra guest parking, Ms. Tammen said that with each project they have provided the
parking required by Code and did not feel it was in their purview to tell the Village what to provide in the way
of street parking or in the new parking garage. They did try to be innovative with the idea of parking lifts,
which cost about $15,000 to $20,000, and would be available as an option in the 2-car garages, which would
need to be made 18" higher to accommodate one; the door does not need to be any larger. Joe Donnelly asked
about building codes for the use of these lifts and said that a Variance was required to install one in Chicago.

The Norwood reps said they were not familiar with these regulations.
Extensive discussion followed regarding building heights. It was determined that the general midpoint is at 32'.
Keith Youngquist asked who the target customer of these rowhomes would be.
Christine Kuttzolt, Director of Sales and Marketing, responded. She said their previous experience in Mount
Prospect afforded them the opportunity to discover what many people are looking for in this area and until now
has not been available - a true, luxury rowhome. The typical buyers would be the 45-64 year old homeowners
living in Mount Prospect, empty-nesters, whose children have gone off to college; they mayor may not be
commuters, down-sizing or possibly up sizing their lifestyle, not yet ready to throw in the towel, looking for that
semi-urban lifestyle. Ms. Kuttzolt said many potential buyers have contacted her already. Mr. Floros asked the
probable price of the rowhomes. Ms. Kuttzolt said they are working on pricing and, subject to prices of the
varied choices of optional construction elements going into the units, they will probably start in the high $500's.
Ms. Juracek said if the Petitioners' presentation were complete, that she would open the hearing to the public.
She did so by reading a note from Ms. Mary Alice Neitzke, 6 South Maple Street, asking to be read as part of
the public record. Ms. Neitzke's letter stated she requests: 1) A brick fence/wall between her rear yard and the
private driveway; and 2) Lighting be done in a manner that does not 'light-up' her yard - prefers the lighting be
installed at the garage level.
Ms. Tammen said they could not support a brick wall because it would require a 3-4 foot concrete footing,
which they simply do not have the ground space for. With regard to the lighting, the garages will have ambient
lighting similar to single family homes, not pole lighting. There was discussion regarding the fence and Ms.
Connolly said her conversations with the residents indicated their concern that the fence will become an eyesore
in the future and that the residents felt the rowhome association documents should address who should maintain
" " "
a board-on-board fence in the future. Ms, Tammen said they will work with neighbors on maintenance issues.
Mr. Rogers asked what Norwood could do to provide stormwater detention. Bill Loftus, Spaceco, addressed this
question. He said they will be providing storm sewers throughout the property and tying in to downspouts
where appropriate and eventually into the combined storm sewer in the street. He said what Ms. Tammen
referred to as their being unable to provide stormwater retention was that they could not provide a large
retention pond as is done in many suburban condo projects due to land space constrictions. Mr. Rogers said
they would look to Staff to provide further compromise in final plans.
Mr. Donnelly asked why it was necessary for the excessive garage height. Mr. Brec1ow said it was to blend in
with the gable pitch of the rowhomes. After some discussion about the height of the Lofts at Village Centre, the
old Village Hall and the new Village Hall, Ms. Juracek opened the discussion to the audience.
Ron Ditthart, 123 N. Emerson, Mount Prospect, said it appears the north 150' of this property will be the subject
of a referendum that will appear on a ballot April 5. He said that 1,600 signatures have been filed at the Village
and none have been contested. He said he had been active in circulating those petitions and he interviewed 77 in
favor of the referendum. Of those, 75 in favor were in favor of keeping the area as a park and 72 were in favor
of keeping the north 150' open with mature trees with grass as is now. He is asking on behalf of those 1,600
voters that approval of this project be continued until after the April 5 referendum. This would be a "no lose"
situation because it would avoid the Board the embarrassment of approving something the overwhelming
majority of voters oppose. Ms. Juracek reminded the group that this is the first step in the process for approval
of the project. After this meeting, the request will go to the Village Board and the concerns of the voters would
be noted.
Penny Perliss, 500 Westwood Lane, was sworn in. She said that she has lived in Mount Prospect 35 years and
her main concern is all the stairs associated with the rowhomes. She said she disagreed with the marketing
group and that 45-64 year olds would not want any stairs. She said she also worked on obtaining signatures for
the petition both times and nobody refused to sign the petition the second time around.

Wanda Leopold, 107 William St., was sworn in. She said that she submitted a list of questions to the P&Z
earlier and some of her questions have been answered. She asked if the Board could require the builders to use
pervious materials in the driveways and alleys to absorb the water and use native landscaping, She said this
project would be dangerous for surrounding properties accessing Central Road. She said she sent e-mails to
National Arbor Day Foundation, regarding the consequences of destroying the nine trees on the property. She
said she copied the Village and received an answer from Sandy Clark, Village Forestry Superintendent, who
said that efforts would be made to save as many trees as possible. Ms, Leopold said she was sure that if
Norwood setback the building line further, they could save the American Elm tree.
Linda Venticinque, 10 South Maple Street, was sworn in. She said she has lived here since 1985 and that she is
in favor of the proposed development. She said they have a problem with backing up to a parking lot, but do not
experience any flooding/water problems. She stated that she was not approached to sign the petition to build a
park instead of the rowhomes and that they welcome the new rowhome project.
Rich Scholl, 12 South Maple, was sworn in. He said he thought rowhomes was the best use of the property. He
said that 14 families as opposed to a parking lot is a higher and better use of the property, He said that he has
lived in Mount Prospect since 1987 and that there were chain link fences along the parking lot that had been
repeatedly knocked down. He said that the Bank had put up the board-on-board fence around 1994. His only
reason for being at the meeting was the fence. He thinks the proposed project is a very good one and he wants
to be sure the fence is replaced and hopefully with a wrought iron one for maintenance reasons. He feels that
would fit in well with the project.
Wes Pinchot, 747 Whitegate Court, was sworn in. He said that said he has lived in the Village for 40 years and
is a licensed architect. He complimented Village Staff, particularly Judy Connolly who, he said, did a
wonderful job with Petitioner's proposal. He said most people are not aware that these $500,00/$650,000
rowhomes/townhouses are going to be a glorified alley. He said the people on Maple Street will be
overwhelmed with the high gable roofline and the Village sewers will be overtaxed with water. Also, the people
will not be able to get out of their garages on snowy days. He said there isn't parking outside of the garages for
people to wash their cars or for any reason. The Fire Department will not allow them to park in that alleyway so
the people will park on Emerson Street. Mr. Pinchot asked the P&Z to consider these things when making their
decision.
Mel Fisher, 100 S. William Street, was sworn in, He said that the neighborhood experiences periodic flooding
and cited an instance 12 years ago: on the corner of Owen and Busse, he helped float a car and tie it to a tree for
its owner. He said now we've added deep tunnel, more water, and less retention, He said that he does not
appreciate the looks of this tenement-like project. After hearing Mr. Cooney, Director of Community
Development, talk about the downtown improvements and use the word 'ambience', he looked it up in his
thesaurus and found out it meant: aura surrounding an area. Mr. Fisher said that the country club area has a
beautiful new country club, but nobody in the triangle area is protecting the ambience here. He concluded by
stating that each of you on the Board has that duty, and that he charges the Commissioners to think of ambience
before chopping down trees.
Burt Scholz was sworn in. He said that he has lived here since 1974 and collected petitions in favor of the park.
He wants to use the Emerson area as open space to be enjoyed by this and future generations. He said we are
one of the few suburbs to have such a jewel in the downtown area, that Arlington Heights has no open space.
We should strongly consider keeping the area open and have no water retention, fence, or tree problems.
Linda Waycie, 603 Windsor Dr., was sworn in, She said that she is a 20 yr. resident, and also gathered
signatures for the petition and wants open space. She said the downtown would continue to get denser with
more buildings, stores, and apartments and be more urban like the slides shown earlier. The residents want
suburban areas not urban areas - less density, not high density, and open space, not buildings. She asked if a
compromise couldn't be made to keep 9 trees and build just 12 units.

Judy Schreiber, 817 Waverly, was sworn in, She said that London is a city full of parks and they refer to those
parks as their "lungs". Mount Prospect needs "lungs", too. In Chicago, Michigan Avenue wouldn't have Grant
Park or Millennium Park, either, if the commissions didn't plan ahead. It would just be buildings one on top of
another right up to the lake.
Sylvia Jonas, 1007 Willow Lane, was sworn in. She said she has been a legal resident of Mount Prospect for
many years, but has been away in the military for 15 yrs. and recently returned. She said that she wasn't here
when all these plans were made. She said that now when she comes downtown to go to the bakery she can't just
park and go into the bakery. Or when she drives around downtown she has to be so careful of cars going in and
out of parking places. She said she would probably not come downtown, but just go to the outlying Jewel and
other stores for most purchases.
Ms. Tammen returned to the podium to say this project is not to be thought of as a regular condo development.
She said it is the type of quasi -urban setting where the car is left in the garage much of the time and the owner
walks to the train or to the restaurant or library or Village Hall. Also, when there is a large snowstorm, the snow
will not just be shoved to another part of the driveway, but that the association will have a contract to remove
the snow to an off-site location. She asked Ms. Kuttzolt to address the question of stairs.
Ms, Kuttzolt said stairs are a personal preference. She said some people prefer two-story living and some
people prefer ranch home living whether they are 25 or SO. People who are baby-boomer generation are much
more active than previous generations of the same age were.
Ms. Juracek asked about fencing and the closing of Emerson Street during construction and a Norwood
representative said it would probably not need to be fully closed for 24 hours. Ms. Tammen said they are
absolutely open to suggestions and would work with the residents on Maple for a satisfactory solution. She said
they were pleased to hear the nearby residents were amenable to the project. Mr. Donnelly said fence
maintenance through the years would be an important issue, too.
Pervious pavement substances and native landscaping plants also were discussed between the P&Z and the
Petitioner's Engineer Bill Loftus. Mr. Loftus said that he didn't doubt Mr. Fisher's story about the floating car
because it only took 24" of water for a car to float, but that 24" of water could be right next to a million dollar
project and just blocked from getting into it by some poor planning.
Mr. Breclow said a great deal of land would be needed to do wetland landscaping. He said they would look into
saving any magnificent specimen of trees.
Mr. Rogers said this land has already been approved by the Village Board to be used for rowhomes and not
something else to be considered by the P&Z at this time. Mr. Floros also brought up similar sentiments and said
the Village was planning open space at the south end of this property. Ms. Juracek said she was also in favor of
open space at the south end of the Emerson property.
Matt Sledz said the proposed use is a totally inappropriate use for a suburban location. He said that if someone
wants to live like this that they should move to Chicago or Boston. Richard Rogers said we are already
committed because we are two-thirds into the downtown plan. Ms. Juracek said it is too late now to comment
that the Comprehensive Plan is wrong when the rowhomes were approved many years ago,
Ronald Roberts said he thought just seven rowhomes would be enough density. Ms. Juracek asked Ms.
Tammen if that would be viable. Ms. Tammen said the project would not be viable at less units.
Burt Scholz addressed the P&Z again and said that the downtown area plans can be changed, that they are not
cast in concrete, and asked the P&Z to step back and look at the problems.

Wes Pinchot said the Village Staff has an obligation to see to it that the rowhomes must comply with water
retention and parking.
Bruce Adreani came to the podium and said he works hard to get things done and he felt good because of the
people who lived on Maple Street and came out to the meeting tonight and said they approved of the project and
didn't have water problems and didn't anticipate any future problems.
There was discussion regarding the size of the proposed detached garages. Several of the Commissioners stated
the size was inappropriate for the project. There was discussion regarding modifying the proposal to have the
garages comply with Village regulations. Some Commissioners stated that the style of the garage was
appropriate for the type of project (rowhomes) and that changing the roofline would detract from the project.
Joe Donnelly moved to modify the proposal so the garages would meet zoning regulations. Richard Rogers
seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Donnelly, Floros, and Sledz

(type, maintenance) along the east lot line and 2) the Petitioner shall try to preserve as many existing tress as
possible at 1-17 S. Emerson St., Case No. PZ-O2-05. Leo Floros seconded the motion. The Víllage Board's

Subject: RE: 1/27 P&Z Meeting
Judy,
Thank you very much for sending along this information. I was unable to attend the meeting due to prior
commitments, but was able to view the entire meeting on television via MPTV, I share the same concerns as my
neighbors do; the fence between our backyards and the alley and then the height of the proposed garages, Do
they really need to be 24' tall? I understand the pitch of the roof is intended to be the same of the main structure,
but 24' tall seems a little excessive. I also have a concern about the outside lighting that will be on these row
homes and garages.
Thanks for all of the documents.
I look forward to meeting you and talking more about these issues.
Best regards,
Mark Ardito

Subject: emerson street project
hi judy, its laura venticinque 10 S. Maple St.
us,
I had a few additional questions regarding the project behind
will the utilities behind us be burried or will they just leave the poles and wires running along the proposed
drive/alley,
what are the requirements for a brick fence in the village. My husband a i were discussing this and he said that
seemed to be quite a large footing requirement for a brick fence.
I thought the meeting went well and wish you good luck with the project.
I assume we will be contacted by you or the builder as to the next step in this process.
I would like to suggest that when the builders or the village get some what of a plan for the fence that it might
be a good idea to get all of the neighbors together for a meeting to discuss this,
thanks again for all of your hard work,

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
JANUARY 21, 200S
HEARING DATE:
JANUARY 27, 200S
SUBJECT:
PZ-02-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT)
1-17 S. EMERSON STREET
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 27, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Norwood Builders, Inc. (the "Petitioner") regarding the properties located at 1-17 S. Emerson
Street (collectively the "Subject Property") for the purposes of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of
a 14-unit rowhome development.
The P&Z hearing was noticed in the January 12,2005 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff
has completed the required written notice to property owners within 2S0-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on
the' Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located at the southeast corner of Busse Avenue and Emerson Street, and consists of
multiple vacant lots and a parking lot. The Subject Property is zoned BS Central Commercial and is bordered by
the B5C District to the west (Library and Village Hall), RA Single Family District to the north and east, and Rl
Single Family District to the south,
PLAN REVIEW PROCEDURES
The Village Board adopted the Mount Prospect Downtown Strategic Plan in 1998. The Strategic Plan is part of
the Comprehensive Plan and it created a vision for downtown redevelopment based on work by the Ad Hoc
Committee with input from the residents of Mount Prospect. A great deal of work on downtown redevelopment
has been completed since the plan was adopted. The most recent project underway is the demolition of the former
Village Hall, with the construction of the mixed-use development to start this spring.
Summary of Downtown Developments:
.
The Village Centre Residences: 3-buildings located at Wille/Central/Main Street that contain 205
condominium units (total) and a public parking lot. This phase of the plan is complete.
.
The Lofts & Shops: A mixed-use development at the northeast corner of Main Street and Northwest
Highway. This phase of the pIan is complete, pending minor interior changes per tenant requirements,
PZ-02-0S
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 27, 2005
Page 3
.
The Pinnacle at Village Centre: A recently approved mixed-use development at the northwest corner of
Emerson Street and Busse Avenue that calls for first floor retail and four stories of residential above the
retail tenants, Construction to begin this Spring.
Per the Village's Zoning Ordinance, the review procedure for a PUD requires review and recommendation by the
P&Z Commission and final action by the Village Board. In reviewing the current application, the P&Z
Commission should consider that the Village Board selected the Petitioner's Request For Proposal submittal
(RFP) through a competitive process involving 8 development teams. Also, traffic patterns on Emerson Street are
under review and Staff is evaluating the feasibility of modifying the Emerson Street cross section between Central
Road And Busse Avenue,
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
As illustrated on the attached exhibits, the Petitioner is proposing a rowhome development consisting of:
.
Two clusters of 7 units, 14-units total;
Two floor plans: both plans include basements and 3-bedrooms. However, one floor plan would include
the option of having 2 additional bedrooms on the third floor;
2 and 3 car detached garages, accessed from a shared private drive;
Each unit would have its own backyard and patio.
.
.
.
The Village's adopted Streetscape Program would be installed along Emerson Street and Central Road, but the
development would include landscaping of private areas as well. The proposed development is consistent with
the Village's Downtown Strategic Plan, which calls for the Subject Property to be developed with rowhomes.
The Petitioner is seeking approval for the proposed Planned Unit Development.
REVIEW OF APPLICATION COMPONENTS
PUD Proposal: The proposed development consists of 2 clusters of 7-units each, located on multiple lots of
record. The buildings would front onto Emerson Street, with vehicle access from the private drive that is located
behind the rowhomes. The Petitioner's site plan indicates that the private drive would accommodate 2-way traffic
and would be accessed from Emerson Street and Central Road,
General Zoning Compliance
.
Building Setbacks - The Village's Zoning Ordinance does not require building setbacks for most
developments in the B5 District. Sec. 14.1905.B specifies that building setbacks are required only when
a site is adjacent to a residential development that comprises 40% or more of the frontages between two
intersecting streets. In this case, the existing residential will remain, but they comprise approximately
20% of the Emerson Street frontage. Therefore, the proposed development does not have a setback
requirement.
The Petitioner's site plan indicates that the buildings would have staggering setbacks. The buildings
would have no less than a 15' front setback and the stairs leading up to the units would be setback no less
than 7'.
.
Building Height - The exhibits indicate varying heights for the buildings. The lowest part of the roof
measures 30' from the mid-point, but extends to 32 '2" from highest point of the roof. However, the B5
District allows a maximum building height of 30 feet and the Petitioner's elevations indicate that the
building height would exceed this limitation.
PZ-02-0S
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 27, 200S
Page 4
.
Building: Elevations - The color elevations indicates that the style of the proposed buildings would be in
keeping with other buildings constructed as part of the downtown redevelopment and include elements of
each project. The exhibits indicate that the front elevations will be all 'Modular Brick', which is another
name for standard residential brick. However, sections of the rear elevations, side elevations, and some
of the garages list 'Man Made Shake Siding' as building materials, It is important to note that the
building materials submitted as part of the RFP review process differ from the materials listed on the
Petitioner's exhibit. Therefore, the building materials must be finalized prior to Village Board review to
ensure the proposed building materials are the same as the materials presented to the Village Board as
part of the RFP process.
The building elevations indicate that each unit will have individual access, with some of the center units
sharing a staircase. The Petitioner has submitted two floor plans. Each calls for a minimum of 3-
bedrooms, with one plan having 2 additional bedrooms on an optional third floor.
.
Private Driveway - The site is accessed by an "L" shaped private driveway with curb cuts on Central
Road and Emerson Street. The Engineering Division has requested that the Central Road access be
widened to 24' and that it be restricted to right-in/right-out only movements. In addition, the Strategic
Plan calls for the installation of a public park to the south of the Subject Property (where the two single
family homes currently exist), Provisions should be made that at such time that the park is installed, that
the Subject Property's private drive shall be extended south to Busse Avenue and that the segment
accessing Emerson Street be incorporated into the park.
.
Landscaping - The Petitioner's Landscape Plan provides a concept of the proposed landscaping to be
installed. However, the plan does not incorporate the Village's Streetscape Plan and the correct
improvements to be made on Emerson Street and Central Road. Also, the plan does not specify the
screening required along the east lot line.
Prior to Village Board review, a revised detailed landscape plan listing materials and sizes must be
submitted for Staff review. In addition, the revised plan needs to include additional trees throughout the
development, have the Central Road 'parkway trees' located on private property, south of the sidewalk,
and identify the screening along the east lot line.
.
Densitv - The proposed development calls for 14 units on the 1.6 acre site, The Zoning Code allows a
maximum density of 16 units per acre in the B5 District. The proposed density complies with zoning
regulations.
.
Parking - The Village's Zoning Ordinance requires 2.5 parking spaces for residential developments with
2-3 bedrooms. The unit mix is not confirmed at this time, but the Petitioner's site plan indicates that
vehicles will be parked in either a 2 car or 3 car garage. The Fire Department has required that parking
be prohibited in the private drive. The project does not include Guest Parking, however there is on-street
parking along Emerson Street in addition to the Village parking deck.
.
Right-of-Way Improvements - In response to Staff comments, the Petitioner proposes to create a 7'
easement along the north lot line of the Subject Property to allow for the continuation of the Village's
Streetscape Program, A 7' wide public sidewalk will be installed; however, physical constraints require
the parkway trees to be located on the private property.
PZ-02-0S
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 27, 200S
Page S
As previously stated, Staff is currently evaluating Emerson Street traffic patterns. Although the design
has not been finalized,S.5' from the east side of Emerson Street must be dedicated to ensure proper traffic
lane widths and to allow for the installation of the Village's Streetscape Program.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section l4.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
.
The Conditional Use wil1 not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
.
.
Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
.
The development is designed to complement the existing and future downtown developments in addition to
generating pedestrian activity and multiple-use trips. Although the Mount Prospect Downtown Strategic Plan
calls for the rowhome development to extend from Central Road to Busse Avenue, the Petitioner's proposal is in
keeping with the plan, Also, the rowhome development provides a transitional land use between the existing
single-family residential homes fand the surrounding commercial and institutional uses.
The development will have a positive effect on nearby properties and continue to stimulate the development of the
downtown area. Therefore, the development will have a limited adverse impact on the adjacent neighborhoods,
utility provision or public streets. Subject to compliance with the conditions of approval, the proposal will
comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the
Petitioner's request for Planned Unit Development proposal and proposed building height, subject to the
following conditions:
A. Prior to Vil1age Board review the Petitioner shall submit a revised site plan that reflects:
1. The 5.5' Emerson Street right-of-way dedication and the 7' easement along Central Road;
2. A 24' wide, right-in/right-out only Central Road curb cut that is striped and signed accordingly;
3. Modifications to the east lot line and private drive that eliminates conflicts with existing utilities,
and creates the necessary turning radius to accommodate a garbage truck;
B. Prior to Village Board review the Petitioner shall submit a revised landscape plan that includes additional
trees throughout the development, identifies the screening material along the east lot line, and includes the
adopted Vil1age's Streetscape Program;
C. Prior to Village Board review the Petitioner shall submit revised elevations that reflect the building
materials presented to the Village Board as part of the RFP process in addition to a material board;
PZ-02-0S
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 27, 2005
Page 6
D. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall submit a lighting plan for the site for Staff review and
approval;
E. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner shall submit homeowner's association

f. Provisions for on-site storm water management.
G. Develop the site in accordance with all applicable Village Codes and requirements, including, but not
limited to, Fire Prevention Code regulations, lighting regulations, Sign Code regulations, and building
regulations.
H. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner shall submit a plat of subdivision that
reflects the required 5.5' dedication along Emerson Street and the 7' easement along Central Road.
1.
Provisions shall be made to allow the private drive to be extended south to Busse Avenue at such time as
the property to the south is developed as a park.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case,
I concur:

Summary of Actions Requested
Proposal Summary
Founders' Row brings an exciting new housing choice to downtown Mount Prospect-
luxury rowhomes, This type of development brings additional aesthetic and economic
synergies benefiting not only the downtown but the community as a whole. The proposed
unique homes make this a viable, appropriate, and dynamic downtown development.
Founders' Row is a rowhome development that encompasses approximately the northem
1'4 of the westem half of the block bound by Central Road, Busse Avenue, Emerson Street
and Maple Street. We are proposing fourteen (14) 2 Y2 story, three bedroom, 2 Yz bath
rowhomes that include fully finished English basements. Generous back yards and rear
detached 2- and 3-car garages make these homes spacious and comfortable while
conveniently located in Mount Prospect's bustling downtown. The building's front
setbacks and recessed entryways add interest to the homes, vary the street wall, and
create distinctive living spaces. Large side and back yards and setbacks break up the
buildings and create an appropriate scale and comfort to pedestrians and homeowners
alike. Attractive landscape and streetscape elements are planned around the perimeter
and entranceways of the development for the residents and visitors to enjoy.
This development will define the northeastem edge of downtown Mount Prospect. This
well integrated plan provides an appropriate transition to the institutional uses to the west,
and the residential uses to the north, south, east and the existing and future mixed-use
residential and retail to the southwest.
Standards for Conditional Use Approval
1. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use '..vi!!
not he detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, conzfort,
or general \velfare.
Response: The proposed redevelopment will not negatively impact the community.
Instead, the redevelopment of this underutilized site will greatly improve the area with
well-designed rowhomes, gracious front and rear yards, interior and perimeter
landscaping, and land uses that are appropriate and consistent with the Village's Phase I-
B Comprehensive Plan, The entire community will benefit from a development that is
appealing from an aesthetic as well as functional standpoint.

2, The conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of
other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already
permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within
the neighborhood in which it is to be located;
Response: The proposed redevelopment will improve the enjoyment of the
suITounding properties and uses by introducing unique rowhomes into the downtown, a
product that is currently absent from the marketplace. These new residents will also
patronize the new and existing area shops, businesses, library, and Village Hall.
The proposed redevelopment is not expected to diminish property values within the
neighborhood. Instead, it can be effectively argued that the development will stabilize
and boost property values, while expanding the tax base, thereby easing the burden on
taxpayers throughout the Village.
3, The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and
orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for
uses permitted in the district;
Response: The proposed redevelopment provides a natural linkage to the improvement
and redevelopment of surrounding properties by realizing the goals of the Village's Phase
1-B Plan Comprehensive Plan creating appropriate transitions to the institutional uses to
the west, the residential uses to the north, south and east, and mixed use residential and
retail to the southwest. For these reasons, we believe that the development enhances the
oppol1unity for synergistic development and improvement of the suITounding properties,
4. Adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessmy
facilities have been or will be provided;
Response: The development wi11 be equipped with a11 required systems and apparatus
to adequately serve the development's needs.
5. Adequate measures have been or '>'I'ill be taken to provide ingress and
egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets;
Response: Each rowhome wi11 have its own garage accessed from a proposed new
north-south alley. The proposed north-south a11ey will connect Central Road to a new
proposed east-west alley which is accessed directly from Emerson Street. The access
points from Central and Emerson wi11 minimize the impact on Busse and Maple Streets.
Furthermore, situating the garages to the rear of the homes will eliminate residential
driveway curb cuts on Emerson, thereby fostering safe and pleasant pedestrian
movements in the downtown,

6, The proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the
current Comprehensive Plan for the Village,
Response: The proposed conditional use is consistent with the Village's
Comprehensive Plan and the Phase 1-B Plan as well as the existing development context.
Furtheffilore, the proposed development is consistent with Village's 1998 Downtown TIF
District Strategic Plan vision statement. "As a way to diversify the type of living options
in the downtown, and add to its overall character, this area (the eastern face of Emerson
Street between Busse and Central) would be enhanced by the addition of high quality
rowhomes. "
7. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable
regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations
may, in each instance, be modified pursuant to the recommendations of
the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Response: The site is located in the B-5 Central Commercial District. The proposed
use is allowed as a Conditional Use as per Article XIX, Section 14.1904 of the Mount
Prospect Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, we are requesting the Conditional Use to allow
dwelling units on the ground floor.
