IV. AMENDMENTS TO VILLAGE'S SIGN AND ZONING CODE: CHAPTERS 7.9.14.15.
16, AND 21
Amendments to various sections of the Village Code are proposed, particularly for the
Sign Code (Chapter 7) and the Zoning Code (Chapter 14). The amendments are in
response to feedback from multiple community stakeholders and staff; the
revisions resolve challenges in code interpretation due to internal conflicts or absence of
regulation. The amendments will result in a code that is more easily understood and

reflective of our current environment.
V. VILLAGE HALL PARKING DECK ELEVATOR ADDITION
Earlier this year, the Village Board awarded a contract to Desman Associates of
Chicago, Illinois to examine the feasibility of adding passenger elevator to the southwest
corner of the Village Hall parking deck. The addition of an elevator could improve
access to the parking deck and support economic development in the downtown
business district. Desman's final report will be presented by staff.

Item IW AMENDMENTS TO VILLAGE'S SIGN AND ZONING CODE:
CHAPTERS 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, AND 21
Department:
Information:
Staff has worked closely with the Village Attorney and Village Clerk's Office on
several amendments to our Village Code. Specifically, the Zoning Ordinance and
Sign Code need to be amended as a result of recent legal and legislative decisions.
Also included in the amendments are adjustments to clarify, simplify, and better
organize the Zoning Ordinance. Many of the amendments are a result of multiple
requests by residents to replace obsolete standards with provisions that are
complimentary to today's housing and construction market. This continuous
improvement approach is in consistent with Goal 5 of the Strategic Plan:
Governance. Code amendments are one method used to ensure we are proactive in
identifying areas of customer service improvement and allows us to be responsive
to local and regional changes in development.
The majority of the proposed amendments are within Chapter 7 (Sign Code) and
Chapter 14 (Zoning Code); amendments in other Chapters were also necessary to
correct some conflicts and will result in a consistent Village Code as a whole.
Although the "redline" versions seem to suggest a large amount of change, many of
the proposed revisions are simply a rearrangement of current regulations — moving
language to a new section, combining existing regulations, or clarifying existing
language. This results in a code that's clearer and more concise. Staff proposed to
address these changes in one larger set of amendments to avoid a "piecemeal"
approach that may result in disconnects with other sections of the code.
Chapter 7 — Sign Code
The Village's Sign Regulations are found in Chapter 7 of the Village Code. Over the
years, these guidelines have been modified in -part numerous times. Staff is
proposing a complete rewrite of this chapter to simplify and update the guidelines,
and address a recent Supreme Court ruling.
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 4 of 449
Staff has worked with our Village Attorney to incorporate the United States Supreme
Court recently ruled in Reed v. Town Gilbert that municipal sign ordinances that base
restrictions on the content of signs likely violate the First Amendment. The Supreme
Court's ruling prompted staff to initiate a thorough review of its sign code to ensure
that it does not violate constitutionally protected free speech.
Signage is a significant marketing tool to identify and promote businesses, events
etc. Our goal is to eliminate redundant information and grey areas difficult to enforce
and make the regulations easier to understand and navigate for potential businesses
and sign contractors. At the same time, we want to avoid distractions and ensure all
signs will be in -character with our community.
Significant proposed changes to Chapter 7 Sign Regulations include:
• Eliminated content -based sign categories. Instead, the guidelines regulate
size, height, location, number of signs, and length of time. Examples are given
to help clarify.
• Added "Municipal Signs" for Village sponsored and/or related events to the
Exempt Section
• Guidelines for all signs requiring a permit are now found in one article, Article
III.
• Eliminated Special Use Permits for signs such as electronic message centers,
or menu boards and included these sign types along with their guidelines in
Article III.
• Eliminated the "Special Area of Control" and instead included signs for B-5
zoning with the Projecting and Awning Signs in Article III.
• Eliminated the current Article IV "Sign Design" which is very subjective and
difficult to enforce. Some key sections were kept and incorporated with the
standard sign guidelines now in Article III.
• Submission requirements were taken out of the Sign Guidelines and now refer
you to the Sign Permit Application. For Sign Permit fees, a reference to the
appropriate Village Code appendix is given.
• Definitions have been updated and illustrations are now the same as those
found in our Sign Brochure.
Chapter 14 — Zoning Code
Staff is recommending several clean up amendments to eliminate contradictory
provisions and changes in the development landscape (new uses, new building
materials, etc.), or confusion expressed by residents, architects and staff related to
code interpretation. The amendments are proposed based upon staff experience,
research on existing codes in other communities, and are vetted with various
departments which may be impacted by new regulations.
There are a few policy decisions that should be made with regard to proposed
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 5 of 449
regulation:
• Unique Uses. An amendment is proposed to the Use Table (Article VI) which
would create a new use category: "Unique Use", defined as a use not listed as
a permitted use, special use or conditional use within any zoning district. A
business classified as a Unique Use would require Conditional Use approval
for business and industrial districts only.
• Vision Clearance. This new language would regulate landscaping on private
property. The language is designed to restrict plantings to a maximum height of
3 feet in areas where a public sidewalks and streets meet, as well as private
driveways in the area where the driveway crosses the right-of-way. This
regulation is consistent with our restrictions on fences; fences taller than 3 feet
in height are not permitted in a 10'x 10' "triangle" adjacent to a driveway where
it meet the property line.
• Driveways/Parking Pads. Current driveway regulations are difficult for
residents and contractors to understand as written, and they do not completely
address the variety of driveway types in use today (example: side load
garages). The revised text maintains many of the current regulations, but does
introduce the concept of a parking pad and provides regulations pertaining to
side load garages.
• Lighting Standards. Current code has lighting in two sections: one section
devoted to overall site lighting, and one section for parking lots only. There
were contradictions between the two sections related to illumination levels. The
amendments proposed eliminate the contradictions and combine lighting in one
section, resulting in a code that is easier to reference and will allow for clearer
interpretation and enforcement of the regulations.
• Landscaping. Current code has several different "areas" which result in different
landscape requirements on a single lot. There were conflicts within this chapter
related to the number and type of trees, shrubs, etc. to be installed, and a plant
list was not included. Revisions proposed result in no less landscaping than
what is provided today, but organizes the regulations so they are more easily
applied on a lot. A plant list, vetted by the Village Forester, is now being
provided.
• Permitted Obstructions. Current text is arranged in a cumbersome text format,
making it difficult to find a particular regulation. Amendments include a
permitted obstruction table, resulting in an easier reference. Additional
permitted obstructions were added to the table based upon current
development requests, including arbors, trellises, sport courts, and "decorative
outdoor structures" such as decorative lightposts or other small landscape
features, that are currently not regulated in the code.
• Definition of Height. Although this amendment is in Chapter 21, the use of this
definition is carried throughout the Zoning Code. Current definition takes a
measurement from base grade to the midpoint of a pitched roof. An
amendment is proposed that corrects the form of grade which should be used,
and also takes the measurement to the peak of a roof — which is easier for
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 6 of 449
architects and residents to demonstrate on plans. Changes to the overall height
of a structure would be modified for this new definition to ensure that no
change to the overall height of structures is proposed, just its method of
calculation.
Recommendation:
The zoning amendments are presented at this joint meeting for informational
purposes. No village board action is necessary at this time.
The proposed amendments will require a public hearing with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and final approval by the Village Board; meeting dates to be
determined.

in the dwelling unit, and no employees other than persons residing on the premises
shall report to work at or near the premises, either for work to be completed within
the residence or to be dispatched to work at another location. The purpose of this
standard is to ensure that no nonresident comes to a dwelling for employment
purposes, and to minimize the traffic generated by the home occupation. No routine
attendance of employees associated with any home occupation shall be allowed at
the premises of the home occupation. "Routine attendance" shall mean that the
conduct of the home occupation requires nondomiciled persons to visit the premises
of the home occupation as part of the regular conduct of the occupation, without
regard to the number, frequency or duration of such visits. This standard shall apply
irrespective of any business activity actually taking place at the dwelling unit.
F. No home occupation shall generate customer, client or group visits of a greater
frequency than what would be expected in a residential area where no home
occupation exists. Any need for parking generated by a home occupation shall be
provided on site and shall not exceed the required parking for a dwelling unit. The
purpose of this standard is to limit the frequency of customer or client visits to an
amount that is not disruptive to a neighborhood and eliminate congestion on public
streets.
G. The home occupation shall not utilize more than twenty five percent (25%) of the
gross floor area of the dwelling unit. The purpose of this standard is to assure that
the home occupation remains incidental to the residential use of the structure.
H. No outside storage of any kind related to a home occupation shall be permitted.
I. All vehicles utilized in conjunction with a home occupation shall comply with the
regulations stipulated in section 14.2208 of this chapter.
J. No contracting or service equipment or materials shall be stored on the premises,
except in a permitted truck used for transporting equipment or materials between
jobs. No loading or unloading of equipment or materials shall be done on the
premises. No trailer used for commercial contracting or service uses shall be
permitted for equipment storage in a residential area, nor shall it be parked on the
premises.
K. Private instruction as a home occupation is permitted, but is limited to no more than
three (3) pupils at a time. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993; amd. Ord. 4825, 10-1-1996; Ord.

SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 115 of 449
Updated: September 2, 2016
when it is in the best interest of the village to do so. The village may require the
execution of an agreement to permit collocation unless such collocation proves to
be impractical. The village may grant access to municipal property and/or lower
application fees to carriers locating two (2) or more users on a single tower. A
proposal for a new personal wireless service facility shall not be approved unless
the applicant provides written proof that the telecommunications equipment
planned for the proposed tower cannot be accommodated on an existing or
approved tower, structure, monopole that already exists within a one-fourth (1/4)
mile radius of the proposed tower for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or
approved tower or structure, as certified by a qualified professional engineer that
is licensed in the state, and the existing or approved tower cannot be reinforced,
modified, or replaced to accommodate the additional facility at a reasonable cost;
b. The planned equipment would cause interference materially affecting the
usability of other existing or planned equipment at the tower or structures as
documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer and the
interference cannot be prevented at a reasonable cost;
c. Existing or approved towers and structures within the search radius cannot
accommodate the planned equipment at a height necessary to function
reasonably as certified by a qualified and licensed professional engineer;
d. Other unforeseen reasons that make it not feasible to locate the planned
telecommunications equipment upon an existing or approved tower or structure
as certified by an appropriate professional.

future rearrangement of antennas upon the tower and to accept antennas mounted
at varying heights.
G. Design Criteria: Antennas mounted on water towers shall not extend more than ten
feet (10') beyond the height of the water tower. All antennas, except those mounted on
monopoles, shall be designed to be compatible with neighboring buildings and uses,
and shall match or blend with the structure to which they are attached so the antenna is
virtually invisible to the casual observer. Antennas installed on buildings shall not extend
more than ten feet (10') beyond e {the height of the structure and shall be / Comment [IT20]: Nearly all of our structure
painted to match the color of the building to which they are affixed. As such, monopoles mounted antennas project above roof height.
and any accompanying equipment shall be painted a uniform, neutral color. Towers
may not display logos or company colors.

of towers shall be removed as follows:
All shall be removed within six (6) months of cessation of use or of notifying the
FCC of intent to cease operations at the site, whichever comes first, unless a time
extension is approved by the community development director. A copy of the
relevant portions of a signed lease which require the applicant to remove the tower
and associated facilities upon cessation of operations at the site shall be submitted
at the time of application. Any tower and associated facilities not removed within six
(6) months of the cessation of operations at a site shall be deemed a nuisance and
may be abated according to the nuisance provisions of this code.
2. Unused portions of towers above a manufactured connection shall be removed
within two (2) months of the time of the abandonment of that portion unless the
village has specifically designated that portion for future collocation.
J. Utility Buildings And Structures: All utility structures and structures accessory to a
personal wireless service facility tower shall be architecturally designed to blend in
with the surrounding environment and shall meet the minimum setback requirements
of the underlying zoning district. Ground mounted equipment shall be screened from
view by suitable vegetation. The maximum height for an accessory utility structure is
twelve feet (12') and shall be no larger than six hundred (600) square feet.

temporary personal wireless service facility shall not exceed the height of the facility
previously approved for the property, or one hundred feet (100') in the case of a
special event. Only one temporary personal wireless service facility will be allowed
per site at any one time, unless the approved facility on the subject site allows for
collocation, in which case the permissible number of temporary facilities on that site
shall be the number approved for that facility. A temporary personal wireless service
facility must be located behind the front plane of any principal structure that is on the
lot. A temporary personal wireless service facility may be allowed only in accordance
with subsection E of this section.

14.317: ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES:Il
The village of Mount Prospect is committed to encouraging the use of environmentally
sensitive development techniques in order to improve the quality of life and
environmental health of the community as a whole. Green building design is a technique
which incorporates design principles and strategies that limit the energy demands of
buildings and also create healthier living environments within them. Green building
techniques may include, but are not limited to, green roofs, reflective white roofs,
permeable paving, stormwater harvesting, use of landscaping to reduce thermal
demand, and use of reusable energy sources. This section provides direction on
common green building design practices. While not a comprehensive list of all potential
green initiatives, the village encourages property owners to follow green design
principles.
A. Wind Energy Conversion Systems: The village of Mount Prospect has found wind
energy conversion systems (WECS) to be a viable and useful method of localized
energy generation. Conditional use permits to authorize WECS are allowed in all
Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 46
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 128 of 449
Updated: September 2, 2016
zoning districts. Due to the specialization and technical nature of WECS, the
following criteria have been established as minimum standards for the
recommendation and approval of such permits.
1. No more than one WECS shall be permitted per zoning lot. More than one WECS
may be permitted for commercial and industrial properties, subject to the approval
of the village board.
2. Rooftop mounted WECS:
a. Shall be set back at least twenty feet (20') from front or exterior building lines,
and at least ten feet (10') from side building lines. Setbacks shall be measured to
the widest point of blade rotation or to the side of the WECS, whichever is
greater.
b. Shall be limited to a height of no more than fifteen feet (15') above the roof peak
or top of a parapet wall, whichever is greater. Total height shall be measured
from the highest point of blade rotation or the highest point of the WECS,
whichever is greater.
c. Shall comply with all noise regulations of the village of Mount Prospect.
d. Shall be safely and securely attached to the rooftop in compliance with the
village of Mount Prospect building code.
3. Tower mounted WECS:
a. Shall not be permitted in single-family residential districts.
b. The WECS tower or any associated structure shall comply with the minimum
setback requirements of the zoning district in which the WECS is located or be
set back a distance equal to 111 times the total height of the structure from any
property line, whichever distance is greater. Total structure height shall be
measured from the highest point of blade rotation to the ground.
c. A WECS tower shall be set back a minimum of twenty feet (20') from any
principal structure on the property.
d. The maximum permissible height of a WECS tower shall not exceed eighty feet
(80').
e. Rotor blades or airfoils must maintain at least twelve feet (12') of clearance
between their lowest point of rotation and the ground.
f. All climbing apparatus affixed to a WECS tower shall terminate twelve feet (12')
short of ground level.
Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 47
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 129 of 449
Updated: September 2, 2016
g. All WECS facilities shall be enclosed within a building or surrounded by a six foot
(6') high safety fence.
h. All WECS towers shall be constructed with an approved concrete foundation.
4. All WECS structures, including roof mounted, towers, and accessory buildings,
shall conform to the appropriate village related rules and regulations pertaining to
their construction, design, operation and maintenance.
5. WECS shall be designed to withstand a minimum wind velocity of one hundred
(100) miles per hour, with an impact pressure of forty (40) pounds per square foot.
6. The applicant shall submit documentation that the proposed WECS will not create
a nuisance to adjacent uses. In no event shall the noise level produced by a WECS
continuously exceed sixty five (65) decibels as measured at the property line.
7. No WECS shall cause electromagnetic degradation in performance of other
electromagnetic radiators, receptors, or generators of quality and proper design.
The village reserves the right to revoke any conditional use permit for a WECS
system whenever electromagnetic interference from the WECS is evident and
cannot be corrected.
8. WECS shall not be artificially lighted, except to the extent required by the FAA or
other applicable government authority.
9. All wind turbines shall have an automatic braking, governing or feathering system

The purpose of these landscape requirements is to promote, protect and preserve the
general health and safety of the people of the community and, as part of the general
welfare, ensure aesthetic compatibility among land uses within the community. These
regulations are intended to minimize the harmful or nuisance effects resulting from
noise, dust, debris, motor headlight glare, artificial light intrusions, objectionable sights
or activities, or similar incompatible impacts conducted or created by adjoining or
nearby land use.
It is also the purpose of these regulations to safeguard the environmental quality and
aesthetic character of the community by limiting the removal and ensuring replacement
of trees upon private property within the village. These regulations are intended to
preserve insofar as practical, existing vegetation and topographical features by limiting
unnecessary clearing and modification of land, encouraging the retention of existing
mature trees, requiring the replacement of indigenous trees with approved species, and
encouraging the energy efficient operation of land uses in the public interest.
Landscaping required by this chapter shall be a condition to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for any improvements built on the subject property. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-
1993)
14.2302: LANDSCAPE PLAN REQUIREMENT: 6?]
A landscape plan shall be required and approved by the director of community
development for the following:
A. Any nonresidential development of any parcel of land involving the construction
of any new building(s), structure(s) or parking facilities, or

constructed after the effective date hereof.
The plan shall be completed by a landscape architect or a person capable of
fulfilling all requirements set forth in this chapter. Requests for relief or revisions to
these requirements of this chapter may be submitted to the village manager for his
consideration. (Ord. 5751, 8-4-2009; amd. Ord. 6112, 12-17-2013)

14.2309: TREE PRESERVATION: IT] [E]
This section provides standards for protection of trees on private property. Chapter 9
article V11 of this code provides standards for protection of trees on public property.
A. Tree Removal Procedure:
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 188 of 449
Updated September 2, 2016
1. No more than five (5) trees on any property, nor a tree having a caliper of four
inches (4") or greater on any proposed development site, shall be removed
without a permit meeting the requirements of this section. This section does not
apply if the tree removal is requested by the village or if the tree is located on
public property. Chapter. 9 of this code provides standards for removal of public
property trees.
2. The application for a tree removal permit shall be accompanied by:
a. A written statement indicating the reason for removal of the tree(s).
b. A general description of the tree(s) to be removed.
c. A tree survey of the general area (as determined by the department of
community development) surrounding the tree(s) to be removed. The tree
survey shall consist of trees four inch (4") caliper and above and include a
listing of species.
d. Arguments for removal under subsections A3c and Aad of this section
shall be accompanied by a report from a certified arborist if requested by
the department of community development.
3. The village shall approve an application for a tree removal permit if one or more
of the following conditions is present:
a. It is necessary to remove a tree which poses a safety hazard to pedestrian
or vehicular traffic or threatens to cause disruption of public safety.
b. It is necessary to remove a tree which poses a safety hazard to structures.
c. It is necessary to remove a tree which is diseased or has been weakened
by age, storm, fire or other injury.
d. It is necessary to observe good forestry practice, i.e., the number of
healthy trees a given parcel of land will support.
4. When a tree removal is occasioned by any development or land use requiring
the submission of a site plan, or subdivision plan, the said plan shall, upon
approval by the village, constitute a tree removal permit.
5. When removing trees, trees shall be removed in their entirety, including trunks,
stumps and associated debris. Areas where trees were removed shall be
restored to its natural condition. Restoration to natural condition includes, but is
not limited to, deposit of topsoil and grass seed or sod.
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 189 of 449
Updated September 2, 2016
B. Protection Of Existing Trees: The following materials are required for all development
activity requiring site plan review:
1. A tree survey indicating the location, size, and species of all trees located on the
parcel with a caliper of four inches (4") or greater.
2. Every reasonable effort shall be made to retain existing trees on the
aforementioned tree survey through the integration of those trees surveyed into
the site and landscaping plans for a proposed development.
3. A tree preservation plan indicating, at a minimum, the location of those trees to
be preserved and the methods which are to be used to preserve such trees.
This tree preservation plan shall specify the following:
a. The following preservation techniques shall be employed:
(1) All grading and construction equipment shall be forbidden from
encroaching within the drip line of a tree.
(2) Crushed limestone, hydrocarbons and other materials detrimental to
trees shall not be dumped within the drip line of any tree nor at any
higher location where drainage toward the tree could conceivably
affect the health of the tree.
(3) Snow fencing shall be temporarily installed at the periphery of the
tree's drip line.
(4) No grade changes shall be allowed under drip line of any trees
located on the tree survey.
b. The methods which are to be used to preserve those trees shall be clearly
specified. If, in the opinion of the village, the necessary precautions as
specified in the tree preservation plan were not undertaken before or
maintained during construction, the land development permit for the parcel
shall not be issued or, if previously issued, shall be revoked until such time
as these precautions have been complied with.
4. In the event that a tree designated for preservation is destroyed or razed during
the construction process, during regular maintenance activities, or has been
removed without prior approval of the community development director:
a. Such trees shall be replaced with new trees in accordance with the
following:

used. If a fraction is one-half inch (1/2") or greater, the higher number
shall be used.
b. A fee in lieu of installing a replacement tree shall also be acceptable if
providing the number of replacement trees is not feasible on a specific
property. The applicant shall submit a written statement indicating the
reasons for the inability to provide the number of replacement trees. The
written statement shall be accompanied by a report from a certified arborist
if requested by the department of community development. The director of
community development shall review and decide if replacement trees, a
fee in lieu, or combination thereof is appropriate. A fee in lieu shall be as

CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
A. Sight Triangle Determined:
1. Stopping Sight Distance: Adequate visibility is to be provided along the
approaches of two (2) streets at an intersection and across their included corners
for a distance sufficient to allow drivers, approaching simultaneously, to see each
other in time to prevent a collision. Stopping sight distance is the sum of the
distance traversed by a vehicle from the instant the driver sights an object
necessitating a stop to the instant the brakes are applied and the distance
required to stop the vehicle from the instant brake application begins. Factors
include the vehicle speed, reaction time of the driver, friction factor between tires
and roadway, and grade of the roadway. The stopping sight distance shall meet
the requirements of the following equation:
SSD = 1.47*V*t + (V2)/[30(f.g)]
SSD = stopping sight distance, feet
V = vehicle speed, mph
t = reaction time, sec
f = friction factor
g = grade on the approach, decimal equivalent
The equation comes from "A Policy On Geometric Design Of Highways And
Streets", AASHTO. Using the above equation, the following table depicts
stopping sight distances. Assumptions include t = 2.5 sec, f = 0.5, level terrain,
eye height of 3.5 feet, object height of 4.25 feet, passenger cars only and dry
pavement. When able to be obtained, the vehicle speed shall be the measured
85th percentile speed. Else, the posted speed limit is to be used.

SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 227 of 449
CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
Longer stopping sight distances may be required for locations which deviate from
these assumptions. For special circumstances, the appropriate stopping sight
distance shall be determined using "A Policy On Geometric Design Of Highways
And Streets" as a guideline along with the approval of the director of public
works.
2. Intersection Sight Distance: Adequate visibility is to be provided for a driver to
make a safe departure from a stopped position on the minor street and complete
the turning maneuver onto or travel through the major street. Intersection sight
distance is the distance measured along the major street of the driver's visibility
of traffic conditions along the major street when stopped on the minor street. The
stop position of the driver is a point four feet (4') behind the stop bar or four feet
(4') behind the stop sign or closest traffic signal if a stop bar is not present. The
intersection sight distance shall meet those requirements shown on the following
table:

The intersection sight distances are derived from "A Policy On Geometric Design
Of Highways And Streets", AASHTO. Assumptions include level terrain, two (2)
lane major street, stop control on minor street, eye height of 3.5 feet, object
height of 4.25 feet, passenger cars only and dry pavement. When able to be
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 228 of 449
CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
obtained, the vehicle speed shall be the measured 85th percentile speed. Else,
the posted speed limit is to be used. Intersection sight distances shall be
interpolated for speeds that are not indicated on the above table.
Longer intersection sight distances may be required for locations which deviate
from these assumptions. For special circumstances, the appropriate intersection
sight distance shall be determined using "A Policy On Geometric Design Of
Highways And Streets" as a guideline along with the approval of the director of
public works.
3. Sight Triangle: At an uncontrolled or yield controlled intersection, the legs of
the triangle shall be the minimum stopping sight distance for each street. The
measurement along the street shall commence at the edge of the travel lane on
the cross street closest to the approaching vehicle and be measured along the
center of the travel lane for which the stopping sight distance applies.
At a stop controlled or signalized intersection, the leg of the triangle along the
major street shall be the minimum intersection sight distance. The measurement
along the major street shall commence at the edge of the travel lane on the minor
street closest to the approaching vehicle and be measured along the center of
the travel lane for which the intersection sight distance applies. For multilane
major streets, the through lane closest to the centerline shall apply as the travel
lane for approaching vehicles to the right of the minor street and the curb lane
shall apply as the travel lane for approaching vehicles to the left of the minor
street. The leg of the triangle along the minor street shall be the distance from
the edge of the travel lane on the major street closest to the vehicle on the minor
street to a point four feet (4') behind the stop bar or four feet (4') behind the stop
sign or closest traffic signal if a stop bar is not present. The measurement shall
be made along the center of the travel lane on the minor street.
At the intersection of a street and driveway the leg of the triangle along the major
street shall be the minimum intersection sight distance. The measurement along
the street shall commence at the edge of the driveway closest to the approaching
vehicle and be measured along the center of the travel lane for which the
intersection sight distance applies. For multilane streets, the through lane closest
to the centerline shall apply as the travel lane for approaching vehicles to the
right of the driveway and the curb lane shall apply as the travel lane for
approaching vehicles to the left of the driveway. The leg of the triangle along the
driveway shall be the distance from the edge of the travel lane on the street
closest to the vehicle on the driveway to a point ten feet (10') from the pavement
edge of the street. The measurement shall be made along the center of the
driveway.
4. Definitions: For the purposes of determining intersection sight distances and
sight triangles, the following definitions shall apply:
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 229 of 449
CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
MAJOR STREET: The cross street to a vehicle stopped at an intersection.
MINOR STREET: The roadway on which a vehicle is stopped at an intersection.
B. Sight Triangles Regulated: Within a sight triangle, the area from three feet (3') to
six feet (6') above the top of the curb, or edge of the pavement on a street with no
curbs, shall be kept free and clear of any obstruction. A single stemmed tree shall be
considered to be an obstruction only if its trunk, as measured six inches (6") above
the ground exceeds three inches (3") in diameter and the lowest growth from its
branches is lower than six feet (6') above the top of the curb or edge of the
pavement.
An obstruction within a sight triangle that is identified by village staff or a resident as
being unsafe shall be inspected by the director of public works according to the
standards in this section. If the director of public works determines that the planting
or berm constitutes a sight obstruction, a written order to prune or remove the
obstruction shall be served on the property owner by regular mail. If the obstruction
is not eliminated or an appeal filed within thirty (30) days of such notice, the village
reserves the right to cause such obstruction to be pruned, modified or removed and
to bill the owner for the cost of the work.
A property owner may appeal the order to prune or remove by filing with the director
of public works a written request for review by the village transportation safety
commission. The request for review must be filed within thirty (30) days of mailing of
the order. The decision of the transportation safety commission shall be binding
unless appealed to the president and board of trustees of the village by filing a
written notice of appeal with the village manager within fourteen (14) days of the
transportation safety commission's decision.
In any hearing before the transportation safety commission or review by the
president and board of trustees, it shall be the burden of the person desiring to keep
the planting, berm or object to prove by clear and convincing evidence that such
does not constitute a sight obstruction.
The inquiry of the transportation safety commission and/or the president and board
of trustees shall be limited to:
1. Whether the plantings or berms violate a regulation of article VII of this
cha ter; or
2. Whether the plantings, objects or berms actually limit the view of motorists,
cyclists or pedestrians.
For regulatory purposes, the sight triangle shall not include private property.

CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
C. Assumption Of Risk: Any berming or any planting or keeping of evergreen trees
or shrubs, or objects on public property, a right of way or easement is done at the
risk of the adjacent property owner. The village shall not be responsible for the
replacement of any planting or berm or repair of any object of any kind or nature
maintained by any person or private property owner within a public right of way or
easement. Additionally, by the act of berming, planting or keeping of evergreen trees
or shrubs or placement of any object on public property the person so doing
covenants and implies consent to defend and hold the village harmless against any
claims by any party for damages or injury that allegedly resulted from the evergreen
trees, shrubs, berms or objects. (Ord. 5253, 5-21-2002; amd. Ord. 5867, 7-19-2011).

accommodate a home occupation.

amount that is not disruptive to a neighborhood and eliminate congestion on public

SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 313 of 449
Updated: September 2, 2016
Placement: The village encourages collocation to minimize the proliferation of
antenna supporting structures. Owners, lessees, or their representatives shall
cooperate in good faith to achieve collocation when it is in the best interest of the
village to do so. The village may require the execution of an agreement to permit
collocation unless such collocation proves to be impractical. The village may grant
access to municipal property and/or lower application fees to carriers locating two
(2) or more users on a single tower. A proposal for a new personal wireless service
facility shall not be approved unless the applicant provides written proof that the
telecommunications equipment planned for the proposed tower cannot be
accommodated on an existing or approved tower, structure, monopole that already
exists within a one-fourth (1/4) mile radius of the proposed tower for one or more of
the following reasons:
a. The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or
approved tower or structure, as certified by a qualified professional engineer that
is licensed in the state, and the existing or approved tower cannot be reinforced,
modified, or replaced to accommodate the additional facility at a reasonable cost;
b. The planned equipment would cause interference materially affecting the
usability of other existing or planned equipment at the tower or structures as
documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer and the
interference cannot be prevented at a reasonable cost;
c. Existing or approved towers and structures within the search radius cannot
accommodate the planned equipment at a height necessary to function
reasonably as certified by a qualified and licensed professional engineer;
Cl. Other unforeseen reasons that make it not feasible to locate the planned
telecommunications equipment upon an existing or approved tower or structure
as certified by an appropriate professional.
2. Structure Design: Any proposed guyed, lattice, or monopole tower shall be
designed structurally, electrically and, in all respects, to accommodate both the
applicant's antennas and comparable antennas for at least two (2) additional users.
Towers must be designed to allow for future rearrangement of antennas upon the
tower and to accept antennas mounted at varying heights.
G. Design Criteria: Antennas mounted on water towers shall not extend more than ten
feet (10') beyond the height of the water tower. All antennas, except those mounted on
monopoles, shall be designed to be compatible with neighboring buildings and uses,
and shall match or blend with the structure to which they are attached so the antenna is
virtually invisible to the casual observer. Antennas installed on buildings shall not extend
more than ten feet (10') beyond the height of the structure and shall be painted to match
the color of the building to which they are affixed. As such, monopoles and any
accompanying equipment shall be painted a uniform, neutral color. Towers may not
display logos or company colors.
Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 26
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 314 of 449

materials shall be utilized to maintain or enhance the existing character of the property
surrounding a personal wireless service facility. All structure bases shall be completely
screened from view.
I. Abandoned Or Unused Facilities: Abandoned or unused facilities, towers, or portions
of towers shall be removed as follows:
All shall be removed within six (6) months of cessation of use or of notifying the
FCC of intent to cease operations at the site, whichever comes first, unless a time
extension is approved by the community development director. A copy of the
relevant portions of a signed lease which require the applicant to remove the tower
and associated facilities upon cessation of operations at the site shall be submitted
at the time of application. Any tower and associated facilities not removed within six
(6) months of the cessation of operations at a site shall be deemed a nuisance and
may be abated according to the nuisance provisions of this code.
2. Unused portions of towers above a manufactured connection shall be removed
within two (2) months of the time of the abandonment of that portion unless the
village has specifically designated that portion for future collocation.
J. Utility Buildings And Structures: All utility structures and structures accessory to a
personal wireless service facility tower shall be architecturally designed to blend in
with the surrounding environment and shall meet the minimum setback requirements
of the underlying zoning district. Ground mounted equipment shall be screened from
view by suitable vegetation. The maximum height for an accessory utility structure is
twelve feet (12') and shall be no larger than six hundred (600) square feet.
K. Signs And Advertising: The use of any portion of a tower for signs other than warning
or equipment information is prohibited.
L. Temporary Facilities: Temporary personal wireless service facilities shall conform to
all of the setback and yard requirements of the district in which they are located. A
temporary personal wireless service facility shall not exceed the height of the facility
previously approved for the property, or one hundred feet (100') in the case of a
special event. Only one temporary personal wireless service facility will be allowed
per site at any one time, unless the approved facility on the subject site allows for
collocation, in which case the permissible number of temporary facilities on that site
shall be the number approved for that facility. A temporary personal wireless service
facility must be located behind the front plane of any principal structure that is on the
lot. A temporary personal wireless service facility may be allowed only in accordance
with subsection E of this section.
A request for a temporary personal wireless service facility may be granted only by
the village manager in such reasonable numbers and with such reasonable
conditions as the manager may deem appropriate. Any request for additional time

for each licensed carrier for special events (temporary sporting or entertainment
events) of a period of one week. No more than three (3) such promotions shall be
allowed per carrier in a calendar year.
2. Repairs And Equipment Upgrading: If a permanent personal wireless service
facility is under repair or equipment is being upgraded, a temporary facility shall be
permitted for each licensed provider for a period of up to ninety (90) days. The
owner of the facility must certify in writing the necessity for the repair or equipment
upgrade.
M. Insurance: The provider must tender to the community development director on an
annual basis, proof of public liability insurance covering the facility in an amount not
less than as set forth in appendix A, division I of this code.
N. Compliance: All personal wireless service facilities must maintain compliance with
the approved plans and specifications. If the personal wireless service facility
becomes noncompliant with approved plans and specifications due to, but not
limited to: discoloration, cracking, missing components, rusting, settling, damage or
general disrepair; then the owners of the personal wireless service facility and the
owner of the structure or lot on which the personal wireless service facility is located
will be jointly and severally responsible for remedying the specific nonconformities.
These nonconformities must be remedied within forty five (45) days after written
notice, detailing these nonconformities, sent by the village to the owner of the
personal wireless service facility and the owner of the structure or lot. Failure to
remedy all of the cited nonconformities, within the forty five (45) day time period,
shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding the amount as set forth in appendix A,
division III of this code, each day that the violation continues.
O. Certificate Of Completion: All personal wireless service facilities shall obtain a
certificate of completion from the building division prior to facility operation. Carrier(s)
must meet all village codes and provide copies of the following documentation prior
to receiving a certificate of completion:

14.317: ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES:I ILS
The village of Mount Prospect is committed to encouraging the use of environmentally
sensitive development techniques in order to improve the quality of life and
environmental health of the community as a whole. Green building design is a technique
which incorporates design principles and strategies that limit the energy demands of
buildings and also create healthier living environments within them. Green building
techniques may include, but are not limited to, green roofs, reflective white roofs,
permeable paving, stormwater harvesting, use of landscaping to reduce thermal
demand, and use of reusable energy sources. This section provides direction on
common green building design practices. While not a comprehensive list of all potential
green initiatives, the village encourages property owners to follow green design
principles.
A. Wind Energy Conversion Systems: The village of Mount Prospect has found wind
energy conversion systems (WECS) to be a viable and useful method of localized

Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 38
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 326 of 449
Updated: September 2, 2016
provisions of this code. For the purposes of this section, freestanding walls shall be
considered fences.
A. Height And Location:
Separation: Where existing drainage patterns would not be adversely impacted
a maximum of two inch (2") separation shall be maintained between the fence
and the finished grade to provide for adequate drainage. Fences located across
drainage swales shall be a maximum of six inches (6") above finished grade,
unless the village engineer requires a larger separation. Fences shall not be
permitted in floodway areas as designated on FEMA's flood boundary and
floodway map.
2. Sight Triangle: No fence greater than three feet (3') in height shall be placed
within a sight triangle so as to obstruct or limit the line of sight for a motorist,
cyclist, or pedestrian.
3. Encroachment: All fences shall be entirely on private property. Fences may not
encroach on adjoining lots or public rights of way.
4. Fenceable Area: Under no circumstances shall a fence enclose an area that is
less than fifty percent (50%) of the maximum fenceable area of a residentially
zoned property. This limitation shall not apply to fencing around swimming pools.
5. Five Foot Fences: Fences up to five feet (5') in height will be permitted as
follows:
a. Rear And Interior Side Yards: Fences may be installed in the rear and interior
side yards, provided any fence is located behind the front line of the principal
building structure. If a fence is not located along a property line, then sufficient
access must be provided to the area between fence and property line to allow
for proper maintenance.
b. Exterior Side Yards: Open and solid style fences may be installed in an
exterior side yard, provided that the fence is placed behind the front line of the
principal building and set back one foot (1') from the property line along the
exterior side yard. If the exterior side yard abuts the front yard of an adjacent
lot, a one foot (1') setback for an open style fence or a ten foot (10') setback for
a solid style fence shall be maintained from the property line along the exterior
side yard.
6. Swimming Pool Fences: Fences and gates at least four feet (4'), but not greater

area fence no longer than eighteen feet (18') in length provided that it is
located within the rear yard.
b. When placed along the rear or exterior side lot line when such rear or exterior
side lot line abuts an arterial road as defined by the comprehensive plan of the
village and provided that a one foot (1') setback is maintained from the rear or
exterior side lot line abutting the arterial road right of way.
c. When placed between adjacent residential uses and nonresidential uses along
side or rear lot lines.
Cl. When placed between single-family residential and multi -family residential
uses along side or rear lot lines.

A. The off street parking and loading provisions of this article shall apply as follows:
For all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land, accessory parking and
loading facilities shall be provided as required below. However, where a building
permit has been issued prior to the effective date hereof, and provided that
construction is begun within six (6) months of such effective date and diligently
executed to completion (completion to be accomplished within 18 months of the
effective date hereof), parking and loading facilities in the amounts required for the
issuance of said building permit may be provided in lieu of any different amounts
required by this chapter.
When the intensity of use of any building, structure or premises is increased through
additional dwelling units, gross floor area, seating capacity, or other units of
measurement specified herein for required parking or loading facilities, parking and
loading facilities as required herein shall be provided for such increase in intensity of
use. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
14.2202: GENERAL PROVISIONS -'Z 1
A. Change of Use. Whenever the existing use of a building or structure which has been
provided with the required number of off street parking and loading spaces of this
chapter shall be changed to a new use, parking or loading facilities shall be required for
the new use. If the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date of these
parking standards, additional parking or loading facilities are required. Such additional
parking shall be calculated using the regulations of this chapter to determine the amount
of parking the new use would exceed the parking requirements of the previous use.
(Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
B. Existing Parking and Loading Facilities. Off street parking or loading facilities which
were in existence on the effective date hereof or were provided voluntarily after such
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 346 of 449
Article XXI I — Off Street Parking and Loading -
Updated 9/6/16
effective date shall not hereafter be reduced below the requirements of this chapter for
a similar new building or use. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
C. Permissive Parking and Loading Facilities. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed
to prevent the voluntary establishment of off street parking or loading facilities to serve
any existing use of land or buildings, provided that all regulations herein governing the
location, design, improvement and operation of such facilities are adhered to. (Ord.
4590, 9-21-1993)
D. Damage or Destruction. For any conforming or legally nonconforming building or use
which is in existence on the effective date hereof which subsequently thereto is
damaged or partially destroyed to the extent of less than fifty percent (50%) of its
replacement value by fire, collapse, explosion or other cause, and which is
reconstructed, reestablished or repaired, off street parking or loading facilities need not
be provided, except that parking or loading facilities equivalent to any maintained at the
time of such damage or destruction shall be restored or continued in operation.
However, in the event the principal building or structure is damaged or destroyed by any
means of fifty percent (50%) or more of its replacement value, it shall be necessary to
provide parking or loading facilities as required by this chapter for equivalent new uses
or construction; provided, however, that if the principal building or structure contains
more than one use, parking and loading facilities, as required by this chapter, need be
provided only for those uses which have been damaged or destroyed to the extent of
fifty percent (50%) or more of their replacement value. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
E. Off Site Remote Parking Facilities. In cases where parking facilities are permitted on
land other than the zoning lot in which the building or use served is located, such
facilities shall be in the same possession as the zoning lot occupied by the building or
use to which parking facilities are accessory. Such possession may either be by deed or
long term lease, the term of such lease is subject to the approval of the planning and
zoning commission and filed with the director of community development. The deed for
the off site parking shall require such owner or heirs to maintain the required number of
parking spaces for the duration of the use served or the term of the lease, whichever
shall terminate sooner. The village board shall have final authority for these lease or
deed approvals. Also, leases for off site parking should be limited to no more than one
thousand feet (1,000') of the use served in the central business district, and no more
than five hundred feet (500') from the use served outside the central business district.
(Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993; amd. Ord. 5219, 11-6-2001)
F. Off street parking area design. It shall be the responsibility of the community
development director to review plans for all off street parking facilities to ensure
compliance with the parking section of these regulations and his approval must be
obtained before building permit issuance. The arrangement, character, extent, width,
grade and location of all parking areas shall be considered in relation to existing and
planned streets, to reasonable circulation to traffic within and adjacent to parking areas,
to separation of parking, loading, and drive -up stacking, to topographical conditions, to
runoff of stormwater, public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relations to
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 347 of 449

the proposed uses of the area to be served. All traffic intersections and confluences
must encourage safe and efficient traffic flow. Any such submission must comply with
the requirements of this chapter and the site construction specifications contained in

parking spaces or more may request up to a thirty percent (30%) reduction in the
required parking spaces. Such request shall be approved by the director of community
development and shall be accompanied by such documentation and evidence justifying
the reduction. Such requests shall also provide for additional land area which may be
converted to parking and shall be accompanied by a covenant running with the land to
restrict the use of the land for future parking. Such covenant shall specify the authority
of the village to require additional parking be installed if and when deemed necessary
and to enforce said order upon the ownership. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
J. Collective Provisions. Off street parking facilities for separate uses on the same lot
may be provided collectively if the total number of spaces provided collectively is not
less than the sum of the separate requirements for each such use and provided that all
regulations governing location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served
are adhered to. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)

A. Sight Triangle Determined:
1. Stopping Sight Distance: Adequate visibility is to be provided along the
approaches of two (2) streets at an intersection and across their included corners
for a distance sufficient to allow drivers, approaching simultaneously, to see each
other in time to prevent a collision. Stopping sight distance is the sum of the
distance traversed by a vehicle from the instant the driver sights an object
necessitating a stop to the instant the brakes are applied and the distance
required to stop the vehicle from the instant brake application begins. Factors
include the vehicle speed, reaction time of the driver, friction factor between tires
and roadway, and grade of the roadway. The stopping sight distance shall meet
the requirements of the following equation:
SSD = 1.47*V*t + (V2)/[30(f.g)]
SSD = stopping sight distance, feet
V = vehicle speed, mph
t = reaction time, sec
f = friction factor
g = grade on the approach, decimal equivalent
The equation comes from "A Policy On Geometric Design Of Highways And
Streets", AASHTO. Using the above equation, the following table depicts
stopping sight distances. Assumptions include t = 2.5 sec, f = 0.5, level terrain,
eye height of 3.5 feet, object height of 4.25 feet, passenger cars only and dry
pavement. When able to be obtained, the vehicle speed shall be the measured
85th percentile speed. Else, the posted speed limit is to be used.

Longer stopping sight distances may be required for locations which deviate from
these assumptions. For special circumstances, the appropriate stopping sight
distance shall be determined using "A Policy On Geometric Design Of Highways
And Streets" as a guideline along with the approval of the director of public
works.
2. Intersection Sight Distance: Adequate visibility is to be provided for a driver to
make a safe departure from a stopped position on the minor street and complete
the turning maneuver onto or travel through the major street. Intersection sight
distance is the distance measured along the major street of the driver's visibility
of traffic conditions along the major street when stopped on the minor street. The
stop position of the driver is a point four feet (4') behind the stop bar or four feet
(4') behind the stop sign or closest traffic signal if a stop bar is not present. The
intersection sight distance shall meet those requirements shown on the following
table:

The intersection sight distances are derived from "A Policy On Geometric Design
Of Highways And Streets", AASHTO. Assumptions include level terrain, two (2)
lane major street, stop control on minor street, eye height of 3.5 feet, object
height of 4.25 feet, passenger cars only and dry pavement. When able to be
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 408 of 449
CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
obtained, the vehicle speed shall be the measured 85th percentile speed. Else,
the posted speed limit is to be used. Intersection sight distances shall be
interpolated for speeds that are not indicated on the above table.
Longer intersection sight distances may be required for locations which deviate
from these assumptions. For special circumstances, the appropriate intersection
sight distance shall be determined using "A Policy On Geometric Design Of
Highways And Streets" as a guideline along with the approval of the director of
public works.
3. Sight Triangle: At an uncontrolled or yield controlled intersection, the legs of
the triangle shall be the minimum stopping sight distance for each street. The
measurement along the street shall commence at the edge of the travel lane on
the cross street closest to the approaching vehicle and be measured along the
center of the travel lane for which the stopping sight distance applies.
At a stop controlled or signalized intersection, the leg of the triangle along the
major street shall be the minimum intersection sight distance. The measurement
along the major street shall commence at the edge of the travel lane on the minor
street closest to the approaching vehicle and be measured along the center of
the travel lane for which the intersection sight distance applies. For multilane
major streets, the through lane closest to the centerline shall apply as the travel
lane for approaching vehicles to the right of the minor street and the curb lane
shall apply as the travel lane for approaching vehicles to the left of the minor
street. The leg of the triangle along the minor street shall be the distance from
the edge of the travel lane on the major street closest to the vehicle on the minor
street to a point four feet (4') behind the stop bar or four feet (4') behind the stop
sign or closest traffic signal if a stop bar is not present. The measurement shall
be made along the center of the travel lane on the minor street.
At the intersection of a street and driveway the leg of the triangle along the major
street shall be the minimum intersection sight distance. The measurement along
the street shall commence at the edge of the driveway closest to the approaching
vehicle and be measured along the center of the travel lane for which the
intersection sight distance applies. For multilane streets, the through lane closest
to the centerline shall apply as the travel lane for approaching vehicles to the
right of the driveway and the curb lane shall apply as the travel lane for
approaching vehicles to the left of the driveway. The leg of the triangle along the
driveway shall be the distance from the edge of the travel lane on the street
closest to the vehicle on the driveway to a point ten feet (10') from the pavement
edge of the street. The measurement shall be made along the center of the
d riveway.
4. Definitions: For the purposes of determining intersection sight distances and
sight triangles, the following definitions shall apply:
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 409 of 449
CHAPTER 9: PUBLIC UTILITITES, PAVEMENT, AND TREES UPDATED 9/2/16
MAJOR STREET: The cross street to a vehicle stopped at an intersection.
MINOR STREET: The roadway on which a vehicle is stopped at an intersection.
B. Sight Triangles Regulated: Within a sight triangle, the area from three feet (3') to
six feet (6') above the top of the curb, or edge of the pavement on a street with no
curbs, shall be kept free and clear of any obstruction. A single stemmed tree shall be
considered to be an obstruction only if its trunk, as measured six inches (6") above
the ground exceeds three inches (3") in diameter and the lowest growth from its
branches is lower than six feet (6') above the top of the curb or edge of the
pavement.
An obstruction within a sight triangle that is identified by village staff or a resident as
being unsafe shall be inspected by the director of public works according to the
standards in this section. If the director of public works determines that the planting
or berm constitutes a sight obstruction, a written order to prune or remove the
obstruction shall be served on the property owner by regular mail. If the obstruction
is not eliminated or an appeal filed within thirty (30) days of such notice, the village
reserves the right to cause such obstruction to be pruned, modified or removed and
to bill the owner for the cost of the work.
A property owner may appeal the order to prune or remove by filing with the director
of public works a written request for review by the village transportation safety
commission. The request for review must be filed within thirty (30) days of mailing of
the order. The decision of the transportation safety commission shall be binding
unless appealed to the president and board of trustees of the village by filing a
written notice of appeal with the village manager within fourteen (14) days of the
transportation safety commission's decision.
In any hearing before the transportation safety commission or review by the
president and board of trustees, it shall be the burden of the person desiring to keep
the planting, berm or object to prove by clear and convincing evidence that such
does not constitute a sight obstruction.
The inquiry of the transportation safety commission and/or the president and board
of trustees shall be limited to:
1. Whether the plantings or berms violate a regulation of article VI I of this
chapter; or
2. Whether the plantings, objects or berms actually limit the view of motorists,
cyclists or pedestrians.
For regulatory purposes, the sight triangle shall not include private property.
Private property shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.320.

C. Assumption Of Risk: Any berming or any planting or keeping of evergreen trees
or shrubs, or objects on public property, a right of way or easement is done at the
risk of the adjacent property owner. The village shall not be responsible for the
replacement of any planting or berm or repair of any object of any kind or nature
maintained by any person or private property owner within a public right of way or
easement. Additionally, by the act of berming, planting or keeping of evergreen trees
or shrubs or placement of any object on public property the person so doing
covenants and implies consent to defend and hold the village harmless against any
claims by any party for damages or injury that allegedly resulted from the evergreen
trees, shrubs, berms or objects. (Ord. 5253, 5-21-2002; amd. Ord. 5867, 7-19-2011).

Item V.: VILLAGE HALL PARKING DECK ELEVATOR ADDITION
Department: Public Works Department
Information:
On April 5, 2016, the Village Board awarded a Phase 1 engineering contract to
Desman Associates of Chicago, Illinois to assess the feasibility of adding a
passenger elevator at the village hall parking deck. This proposed project was
identified as a high priority initiative by the village board during the 2016 strategic
planning process.
The purpose of this proposed project is to improve access to parking for the
Downtown Mount Prospect Business District in general, and for a proposed 30,000
square -foot restaurant and entertainment district bounded by Northwest Highway,
Busse Avenue, and Route 83 in particular.
The scope of work included assessing the existing site and structure; identifying
utility and structural elements; establishing estimates of probable construction cost;
and drafting concept plans of proposed solutions. This memorandum transmits
Desman's final report.
Desman has determined that the addition of an elevator in the southwest corner of
the parking deck is feasible. For structural reasons, the elevator will have to be
constructed outside the existing footprint of the parking deck.
It was also determined there is sufficient capacity in the existing electrical service to
add an elevator; elevator footing and parking deck foundation conflicts can be
resolved through design; and a fagade emphasizing matching face brick for
aesthetics and glass curtainwalls for security can be constructed.
Desman prepared two (2) schemes as proposed solutions. Both schemes feature
front and back cab doors to accommodate the basement Y2 story landing. The
schemes primarily differ in orientation to the parking deck. Desman recommends
Scheme 1. This design has an orientation aligned with the west wall of the parking
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 438 of 449
deck, minimizing the protrusion from the parking deck. Staff concurs with this
design recommendation.
Alternatives:
Discretion of the village board.
Budget Impact:
The estimated cost of constructing either proposed design (Scheme 1 or Scheme 2)
is $760,500. This estimate includes a 12% contingency allowance.
Recommendation:
Staff has no recommendation at this time. Topic is presented for informational
purposes only. No village board action is necessary.
SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS:
INFRASTRUCTURE: Well designed, well maintained public spaces and facilities, DEVELOPMENT: Balancing
preservation, revitalization, growth, COMMERCIAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS: Vibrant downtown and commercial
areas

Re: Phase I Engineering for Passenger Elevator Addition to Public Parking Garage
Dear Mr. Dorsey,
DESMAN has completed the evaluation of the Mount Prospect Village Hall Parking Garage to determine
the feasibility of adding a passenger elevator near the southwest corner of the existing structure. Our
evaluation addressed all the pertinent items outlined in your Request for Proposals dated February 22,
2016.
EXISTING SITE AND STRUCTURE(S)
The existing Mount Prospect Village Hall Parking Garage is a 385 space four supported level parking
structure constructed of precast concrete columns and double -T floors. The exterior walls are precast
concrete spandrel panels with full-wythe masonry veneer. The footprint of the garage is approximately
238' in the East-West direction and 125' in the North-South direction. The building was constructed in
2003.
There is an existing open concrete stair in the southwest corner which allows pedestrians to enter the
grade/lower level of the garage from grade at the street level. The southwest corner of the garage
houses the electrical service room, the fire pump room and the generator room. An exhaust pipe and
vent pipe for the generator penetrate the west wall. The garage sets back from Main Street (IL. Rt. 83)
edge of pavement approximately 32'-0".
PROJECT EVALUATION
DESMAN was retained by the Village of Mt. Prospect to evaluate the feasibility to add an elevator in the
southwest corner of the existing parking garage facility. During this evaluation DESMAN was tasked with
reviewing the existing Architectural and Structural drawings, review of MEP/FP drawings and existing
conditions and review of site constraints to determine the viability of adding an elevator as outlined in
the Village RFP.
UTILITY EVALUATION/REQUIREMENTS
DESMAN retained the services of RTM Engineering Consultants to review existing drawings and evaluate
the existing electrical service to determine whether the service had enough spare capacity to accept the

proposed elevator. RTM and DESMAN visited the site on July 6th and were given access to the three
utility/service rooms in the southwest corner of the garage by Paul Fahey.
The existing electrical service for the garage is rated at: 400A-277/480V-3ph-4W. Based on ComEd data,
the existing service has experienced a peak demand of 78kW. The existing garage electrical service
(meter# 141614702) has a spare capacity of approximately 60% which is sufficient to connect the
proposed elevator.
STRUCTURAL EVALUATION
DESMAN reviewed the existing structural and architectural drawings and specifications to determine the
feasibility of placing an elevator in the south portion of the west wall of the existing garage. Several
challenges were recognized including tying the new foundations to the existing constructed conditions,
providing openings in the existing precast spandrels, with full wythe brick veneer, to allow pedestrian
access and providing a design which allowed a split level access condition due to the half level elevation
difference at street grade to the lower level garage elevation.
Based on our review and evaluation DESMAN would propose to use cast -in-place concrete foundation
walls and footings, matching the existing foundation system, to support a structural concrete block and
brick masonry wall to house the new elevator. Based on our review of the 2002 structural construction
documents, prepared by DESMAN, the top of the existing garage footings are deep enough to not
impact the new foundation walls proposed for the elevator.
While the proposed elevator tower would sit just outside the current garage footprint, limited portions
of the garage spandrel would be removed to provide pedestrian access from the garage to the elevator
at each floor. These panels will need additional structural support and attachment once they are cut
through.
PHYSICAL SITE CONSTRAINTS
DESMAN has developed two schemes for the layout and configuration of the proposed elevator in the
southwest corner of the garage facility. Both schemes protrude from the building to the west, one 11'-
0" and one 17'-5". DESMAN met with Village of Mount Prospect representatives to review in progress
option development on July 7th and it was brought to our attention that there may be a future IDOT
right-of-way modification which could impact one scheme if implemented. Further investigation would
need to be done but the team generally felt that the Scheme 1 (protruding 11'-0" to the west) was the
favorable scheme and would not be impacted by any future right of way modifications.
DESMAN evaluated existing protrusions from the generator exhaust piping on the west fagade just to
the north of the proposed elevator core location. The lower portion of the existing exhaust pipe will be
approximately 6'-3" above the garage concrete slab floor surface as you walk out of the lower level of
the garage. The exhaust pipe is protruding one foot from the wall and then runs vertically up the wall
about 10 feet. DESMAN has proposed a stair wall directly below this protrusion, below grade on both
schemes, to address this issue.

DESMAN reviewed the existing structural and architectural drawings and specifications to determine the
feasibility of placing an elevator in the south portion of the west wall of the existing garage. Several
challenges were recognized including tying the new foundations to the existing constructed conditions,
providing openings in the existing precast spandrels, with full wythe brick veneer, to allow pedestrian
access and providing a design which allowed a split level access condition due to the half level elevation

DESMAN evaluated existing protrusions from the generator exhaust piping on the west fagade just to
the north of the proposed elevator core location. The lower portion of the existing exhaust pipe will be
approximately 6'-3" above the garage concrete slab floor surface as you walk out of the lower level of
the garage. The exhaust pipe is protruding one foot from the wall and then runs vertically up the wall
about 10 feet. DESMAN has proposed a stair wall directly below this protrusion, below grade on both
schemes, to address this issue.
SPECIAL MEETING - September 13, 2016 Page 441 of 449
OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COSTS
DESMAN developed an Opinion of Probable Construction Cost, attached, totaling approximately
$760,500.00 which includes a 12% contingency. The proposed elevator is an electric, machine -room -
less, gearless type, with glass back, front and side, depending on the option proposed. This price
includes standard punched -opening type windows in the masonry shaft wall; providing a curtainwall in
lieu of the standard windows would increase the budget by approximately $100,000. We have included
a table indicating our opinion of probable construction costs broken down by item. DESMAN also
solicited order of magnitude costs from two local general contractors which were used to further
develop the Opinion of Probable Construction Cost.
CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND ELEVATION OPTIONS
DESMAN has developed two concept schemes for the proposed elevator addition. They are in the same
general location (the southwest corner of the garage on the west wall). Scheme 1 is aligned more with
the west wall of the garage while Scheme 2 is oriented more perpendicular to the west wall. Both
schemes require an elevator that incorporates the use of front and back cab doors to allow entry from
both the street level elevation as well as the lower level garage elevation. This type of cab design limits
the amount of glass that can be incorporated into the interior of the cab. Our concept designs
incorporate either a glass side condition or glass side with stainless steel framed glass doors at the front
and back of the cab.
ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SCHEMES
SCHEME 1 ADVANTAGES
• Larger Pedestrian Lobby
• Shape and form of addition more harmonious with stair elements at north end of the west
elevation
• Structure protrudes less from building
• Structure and entry to the elevator at street grade further from public sidewalk eliminating
conflicts
• Direct pedestrian view from lobby to the west looking at Rt. 83
• Less cost associated with side glass on both sides of the cab
SCHEME 1 DISADVANTAGES
• Curtainwall option slightly more expensive due to larger glass area
• Less potential glass in elevator cabs (although not necessary for passive security)
SCHEME 2 ADVANTAGES
• Possibility for slightly less glass area due to orientation to street.
SCHEME 2 DISADVANTAGES
• Pedestrian Lobby smaller than desired

Pedestrian view from lobby will be to north and south along building and will not allow as much
passive security from the street looking in
New Elevator tower would look less integrated with existing structure
Structure and entry to the elevator at street grade within existing public sidewalk causing
conflicts with pedestrians and existing paver walkway
SUMMARY OF PRESENTED SCHEMES
Scheme 1, in DESMAN's opinion, is the better scheme of the two presented. Scheme 1 protrudes less
from the building and looks less like an added on element than Scheme 2. Also, given the possible IDOT
right-of-way we believe that staying as close to the existing building as possible is a good idea. Scheme
2 would infringe on the existing paver walk and its intersection with that walk would look somewhat
awkward compared to Scheme 1.
This completes our report. Please contact us if additional information is needed. We would be happy to
discuss our recommendations with you.
