Item VIII. B.: Motion to approve request for Facade and Interior Buildout Grant for
Le Peep, 10 E. Northwest Highway, in an amount not to exceed
$25,000
Department: Community Development
Information:
The Village has established the Fagade Rebate Program in the downtown Tax
Increment Financing District that offers matching grants to businesses that make
improvements to storefronts in the downtown district. The maximum Village
contribution is $25,000 for restaurants.
The owner of Le Peep, Mike Martin, has made significant upgrades to his
establishment at 10 E. Northwest Highway in the downtown district. He completed
significant electrical upgrades, installed new signage, flooring, and repainted the
interior of the store. He is also proposing to replace the water heater and
replace/retool the HVAC exhaust system. Mr. Martin is waiting on final bids for the
HVAC project but has bids/invoices for the remainder of the work totaling $38,202.
Le Peep is seeking reimbursement for up to $25,000 (final amount will depend on
the HVAC costs) of eligible expenses related to this project. The Village currently
has sufficient funds budgeted in account # 022.40.90.00.0.710.636.007 (page 296
of the Budget) for the 2016 budget year.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their
review and consideration at their December 6th meeting. Staff will be at that
meeting to answer any questions related to this matter.
Alternatives:
1. Approve motion supporting Le Peep's request for Facade and Interior Buildout
grant funds.
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:

HVAC — Replacement/Retool — Exhaust system
Regarding the kitchen. From what I have seen the kitchen is always hot, year round, and the air
conditioning has to run year round as well. This is common in many kitchens. What your location lacks,
that many kitchens have, is what is called an 'economizer' or outdoor fresh air intake system. An
Economizer is a large outdoor air intake that will draw in outside air when it is cool enough outside to
cool the space. It is also referred as 'free cooling system'. This system is great for kitchens and for hot
areas. There are many pros and cons to adding a system like this to the kitchen unit.
The system is not cheap.
2. It will have to be engineered and large ductwork will have to be run from the outside to the return of the
kitchen unit.
3. The entire kitchen system would have to be re -controlled and the logic would have to be installed for this.
4. The hot water coil would have to be disabled from the system. There are too many risks with leaving the
hot water system intact for this unit (as we saw with the unit above the dishwasher when the freeze stat
failed).
5. A system like this is really only beneficial when the weather outside is 60 degrees or less. Which is
about 8 months out of the year and doesn't help in the summer.
6. The benefit is that it would cut down on your electric usage in the winter, not having the ac running
constantly.
7. Another benefit is that there will be less wear and tear on your kitchen air conditioning system,
8. Another pro is that if your Ac goes down then at least you will have some ability to cool the space (at
least In cooler weather).
Cost for this is yet to me determined as Northeast Illinois Heating and Air is still calculating the amount
and coming up with an action plan.

Item VIII. F.: Waive the rule requiring two readings of an ordinance and adopt an
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18 ENTITLED "TRAFFIC" OF
THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
Department: Public Works Department
Information:
The Transportation Safety Commission transmits their recommendation to prohibit
parking during school hours along the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard between
Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place.
Attachment A depicts the affected area. Attachment B contains germane
Transportation Safety Commission meeting minutes.
A resident petition of 31 signatures was submitted to the Village earlier this year to
prohibit parking during school hours on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard
across from School District 59's Early Learning Center. The Village and residents
were led to believe there would not be long-term parking on Lonnquist Boulevard
with the opening of the Early Learning Center in 2015. However, throughout the
2015-2016 school year parked vehicles near the intersecting streets made it difficult
for motorists turning onto Lonnquist Boulevard to see cross traffic. There was also
a loss of on -street parking for nearby residents and their visitors because of the
parked vehicles. At the end of school year nearby residents perceived the on -street
parking as a nuisance and safety issue, and requested a change.
There are currently no daytime parking regulations along Lonnquist Boulevard per
the Village Code. Observations by the Public Works Department Engineering
Division (Engineering Division) in the spring revealed approximately 5 parked
vehicles on the south side and 10 parked vehicles on the north side of Lonnquist
Boulevard during the school day. The parking lot in front of the Early Learning
Center was typically full. The parking lot in front of Holmes Junior High School had
3 — 5 open spaces. The parking lot along the west side of the school had 12 — 20
open spaces. And the parking lot behind Forest View Elementary School had 12 —
20 open spaces.
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 52 of 578
With parking allowed on the street, the staff observed parents and students crossing
between vehicles at unmarked locations. Staff also observed the difficulty for
motorists turning onto Lonnquist Boulevard from Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place
because of the sight obstruction caused by parked vehicles. Both issues affect the
safety of pedestrians and motorists.
As part of the study, nearby residents and the school district were notified of the
request to prohibit parking during school hours along the south side of Lonnquist
Boulevard. Residents agreed that motorists should park in one of the school lots
and not on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard. The issue was presented at the
July 11, 2016 Transportation Safety Commission Meeting. The petitioner and two
other residents were in attendance. The Commission asked the Engineering
Division to continue dialogue with School District 59 to minimize on -street parking
during the upcoming school year. They agreed parking should be prohibited on the
south side of the street in the interest of safety. Parking on the north side of
Lonnquist Boulevard would still be permitted because of low safety issues and the
concern prohibiting parking would potentially result in on -street parking on side
streets such as Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place.
In moving forward, the Commission recommended that the appropriate signs be
installed prior to the start of the school year at the Village Manager's authority
before presenting the item to the Village Board of Trustees for ordinance. The
Engineering Division committed to observing traffic at the start of the school year
and react to any new parking issues that may arise and require immediate action.
This included, with the residents' feedback, expanding the parking prohibition along
the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard or addressing new issues on Kennicott Place
or Deborah Lane. Once the parking issues had been satisfactorily addressed
through signage, the item would be presented to the Village Board of Trustees for
ordinance.
The Engineering Division contacted School District 59 before the start of the school
year and they agreed to take steps to minimize on -street parking during the school
day. With the Village Manager's approval, Public Works installed signs in mid-
August and the Engineering Division has since observed traffic on several
occasions. On a typical school day, there are no parked vehicles on the south side
of Lonnquist Boulevard and the side streets. There are approximately five parked
vehicles on the north side of Lonnquist Boulevard. The Engineering Division has not
observed any safety issues and has not received any complaints from nearby
residents. The petitioner was recently contacted and responded there have not
been any traffic issues this school year on Lonnquist Boulevard or the side streets.
The parking prohibition doesn't need to be expanded based on our observations
and feedback from the petitioner. The Commission's recommendation can now be
considered by the Village Board of Trustees.
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 53 of 578
By a vote of 9-0, the Transportation Safety Commission
recommends the following:
prohibit stopping, standing, parking on the south side of
Lonnquist Boulevard between Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place on
school days from 7:00am to 4:00pm (Section 18.2009C).
Alternatives:
1. Enact and ordinance prohibiting stopping, standing, and parking on the south
side of Lonnquist Boulevard between Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place on
school days between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:
The proposed action does not require the expenditure of Village funds. No
budgetary impact is anticipated.
Recommendation:
The Transportation Safety Commission recommends passage of an ordinance that
prohibits stopping, standing, and parking on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard
between Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place on school days between 7:00 AM and
4:00 PM.

CALL TO ORDER
Deputy Director
Jason H. Leib
The regular meeting of the Mount Prospect Transportation Safety Commission was called to order at
7:01 p.m. on Monday, July 11, 2016.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie explained to the Commission that a temporary Chairperson was necessary to
lead the meeting this evening. Commissioner Keane had recently completed his term as Chairperson
and the Mayor was in the process of selecting a new Chairperson. It is expected that a new Chairperson
will be in place before the next meeting. Vice Chair Bencic would have lead this evening's meeting but
retired last month. At the next meeting the Commission will vote for a new Vice Chair.
Commissioner Keane, seconded by Commissioner Morgan, moved to nominate Commissioner Kuehlthau
to lead the meeting. Commissioner Kuehlthau accepted the nomination. The nomination was approved
by a vote of 9-0.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Fisher, seconded by Commissioner Keane, moved to approve the minutes of the regular
meeting of the Transportation Safety Commission held on February 8, 2016. The minutes were
approved by a vote of 7-0 with Commissioner Prosperi and Superintendent Moe abstaining.
CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
Louis Goodman, 310 N. School Street, asked the Commission to consider removing the turn restrictions
along Rand Road at its intersection with Henry Street, Louis Street and Isabella Street. Mr. Goodman
provided a brief history of the subject that began 20 years ago when the neighborhood submitted a 150
signature petition to limit access along Rand Road in order to reduce cut through traffic. Mr. Goodman
was originally a supporter of the turn restrictions but now sees them as an inconvenience. He has
spoken with a small group of neighbors who feel the same way and would like the Village to review the
issue again.
Jerry Bolt, 300 N. School Street, believes the turn restriction signs should remain as it has improved
safety in the neighborhood.
After some discussion, Commissioner Keane suggested Mr. Goodman clarify the specific changes he
would like to see and collect signatures from the neighborhood. The Commission agreed that the
number of signatures should be similar to the original petition before they are willing to formally review
the issue again. Traffic Engineer Lawrie said he would summarize the conversation in an email to Mr.
Goodman to assist him with next steps.
Ken Brey, 13 N. Pine Street, identified four uncontrolled crosswalks across Central Road between Busse
Road and Owen Street. The bicyclist fatality brought him to the meeting tonight to ask what steps can
be done to improve safety at all of the crosswalks along Central Road. He suggested reducing the
number of crossings as well as reducing the speed limit along Central Road from 35 mph to 30 mph.
The Commission discussed if the Village has the authority to reduce the speed limit on a State road.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie said the Village can request IDOT to perform a speed limit study. Commissioner
Kuehlthau, seconded by Commissioner Keane, moved to formally request that IDOT consider lowering
the speed limit along Central Road to 30 mph from Busse Road to Mount Prospect Road. The motion
was approved by a vote of 9-0.
Eric Jakubowski, 805 E. Prospect Avenue, wished to discuss the Central -Weller crosswalk and what steps
the Village was taking since the fatality of his wife (bicyclist). Commander Smith responded that the
Police Department investigation continues and could not provide any further information at this time.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie said Village staff has met with IDOT and will continue to have discussions about
possible next steps. The public will be notified when the issue will be discussed at a future Commission
meeting. At Mr. Jakubowski's request, Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided a brief history about the project
and its purpose. Mr. Jakubowski reiterated his belief that the crossing is not safe for pedestrians and
bicyclists.

NEW BUSINESS
A. LONNQUIST BOULEVARD PARKING STUDY
1) Background Information
The resident at 800 Kennicott Place submitted a petition with 31 signatures to prohibit parking
(Monday—Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm) on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard across from School
District 59's Early Learning Center and Holmes Junior High School.
School district officials led residents, Village staff, the Planning & Zoning Commission, and the
Village Board of Trustees to believe there would not be long-term parking on Lonnquist
Boulevard with construction of the Early Learning Center. Parked vehicles on Lonnquist
Boulevard near the intersecting streets can make it difficult for motorists turning onto Lonnquist
Boulevard to see cross traffic. There is a loss of on -street parking for nearby residents and their
visitors because of the parked vehicles. Nearby residents perceive the on -street parking as a
nuisance.
Current Traffic Regulations
1. Parking is prohibited between 2:00am and 6:00pm on all Village streets.
2. Besides the overnight parking ban, there are no other parking regulations on Kennicott Place,
Deborah Lane or Lonnquist Boulevard.
3. The speed limit on the neighborhood streets is 25 mph.
4. There is a school speed limit of 20 mph on Lonnquist Boulevard adjacent to the Early
Learning Center and Holmes Junior High School.
5. The intersecting streets along Lonnquist Boulevard are controlled with STOP signs.
Lonnquist Boulevard is uncontrolled and has free flow between Meier Road and Crestwood
Lane.
Current Layout
1. Lonnquist Boulevard at Deborah Lane is approximately 40' wide (back -of -curb to back -of -
curb). Lonnquist Boulevard widens to approximately 55' wide (back -of -curb to back -of -curb)
between Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place.
2. There is an eastbound left turn lane on Lonnquist Boulevard at the Early Learning Center
entrance.
3. The nearby intersecting streets including Kennicott Place and Deborah Lane are
approximately 30' wide (back -of -curb to back -of -curb).
4. On -street parking is permitted on both sides of Lonnquist Boulevard and the nearby
intersecting streets.
5. The newly constructed Early Learning Center has a one-way entrance near Kennicott Place
and a one-way exit near Deborah Lane. The parking lot has 44 spaces.
6. Holmes Junior High School has two parking lots. One near Lonnquist Boulevard has 35
parking spaces. One along the west side of the building has 67 parking spaces.
7. Forest View Elementary School is north of the Early Learning Center with access from
Estates Drive. There are 58 spaces in the parking lot. A sidewalk connects the parking lot to
the Early Learning Center.
Current Traffic Conditions
1. The Early Learning Center, which serves preschool age children, opened at the start of the
2015-2016 school year adjacent to Holmes Junior High School. Prior, the district owned land
TSC Meeting Page 3 of 7 July 11, 2016
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 58 of 578
was vacant. On -street parking on Lonnquist Boulevard was minimal before opening of the
Early Learning Center.
2. The school day at Holmes begins at 7:45am and ends at 2:50pm. Drop-off and pick-up by
parents occurs on Lonnquist Boulevard. Buses load and unload students off-street in the
parking lot.
3. School staff parks in both parking lots at Holmes. There are also available parking spaces for
visitors.
4. The morning session at the Early Learning Center begins at 8:15am and ends at 10:45am.
The afternoon session begins at 12:00pm and ends at 2:30pm. Drop-off and pick-up by
parents primarily occurs in the off-street lane in front of the school. Some parents,
however, choose to park on Lonnquist Boulevard and walk their child to and from the
school. There is no bus service.
5. School staff parks in the parking lot at the Early Learning Center as well as both sides of
Lonnquist Boulevard. With the parking lot full during the school day, visitors park on the
street.
6. Lonnquist Boulevard is a collector street and experiences approximately 1400 vehicles per
day. It is wide enough to maintain two-way traffic with parking on both sides of the street.
2) Observations
1. The Engineering staff observed both on -street and off-street parking on multiple occasions
in the area.
2. During the school day, the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard between Deborah Lane and
Kennicott Place experienced 1— 5 parked vehicles.
3. During the school day, the north side of Lonnquist Boulevard between Deborah Lane and
Crestwood Lane experienced 5 —12 parked vehicles.
4. During the school day, Lonnquist Boulevard west of Deborah Lane only experienced 1 -2
parked vehicles.
5. During the school day, Kennicott Place experienced 0 -2 parked vehicles near the
intersection of Lonnquist Boulevard. These vehicles may or may not have been associated
with the Early Learning Center.
6. The Engineering staff did not observe any parked vehicles on Deborah Lane or Carol Lane
near their intersection with Lonnquist Boulevard.
7. During the school day, the parking lot in front of the Early Learning Center was typically full.
The parking lot in front of Holmes Junior High School had 3 — 5 open spaces. The parking lot
along the west side of the building had 12 — 20 open spaces. The parking lot behind Forest
View Elementary School had 12 — 20 open spaces.
8. There does not appear to be an on -street parking concern in the evenings, on weekends, or
during the summer months.
3) Resident/Business Survey
As part of the study, surveys were sent to 36 residential properties in the area as well as School
District 59 to solicit their input on this issue. A total of 11 surveys were returned (the school
district did not respond). All acknowledged the parking problem on Lonnquist Boulevard. Many
commented the parked vehicles should move to the west parking lot adjacent to Holmes. Some
expressed difficulties with turning onto Lonnquist Boulevard because of parked vehicles blocking
the view of cross traffic. Some expressed concern prohibiting parking on Lonnquist Boulevard
would shift parking to other residential streets such as Kennicott Place, Deborah Lane and Carol
Lane.
TSC Meeting Page 4 of 7 July 11, 2016
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 59 of 578
4) Recommendation
School district officials and project managers at the October 23, 2014 Planning & Zoning
Commission Meeting and the November 5, 2014 Village Board Meeting indicated that adequate
parking would be provided on school property and there would not be an impact on the
neighborhood. During the last school year, the Village Engineering staff on multiple occasions
contacted School District 59 requesting they have all staff and visitors park in one of the four
off-street parking lots. This was done in response to resident complaints. Unfortunately, the
parking concerns persisted to the last day of school. The resident petition was received by the
Village soon after in an attempt to resolve the parking issue prior to the start of the next school
year.
Based on the Engineering staff's observations, there are ample parking spaces in the west
parking lot at Holmes and parking lot at Forest View to accommodate the parked vehicles on
Lonnquist Boulevard during the school day. However, it appears the inconvenience of a longer
walk to the Early Learning Center results in school staff and parents parking on Lonnquist
Boulevard.
The Engineering staff recommends that dialogue continues between the Village and School
District 59 to eliminate or minimize long-term parking on Lonnquist Boulevard during the school
day. The optimal solution is to relocate the street parking to the available off-street parking
spaces. By doing so, the school district keeps their commitment to the Village that construction
of the Early Learning Center will not impact neighborhood traffic.
Even if street parking is minimized on Lonnquist Boulevard during the school day, there are still
two safety concerns raised by nearby residents. First, students and parents do not consistently
use the designated crosswalk and walk between cars. Second, parked vehicles near
intersections can make it difficult for motorists on Kennicott Place and Deborah Lane to see
cross traffic on Lonnquist Boulevard. Both concerns affect the safety of pedestrians and
motorists.
For these reasons, the Engineering staff recommends that stopping, standing, parking be
prohibited on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard between Deborah Lane and Kennicott Lane
on school days from 7:00am to 4:00pm. This parking prohibition is recommended regardless if
street parking is minimized on Lonnquist Boulevard. Additionally, it is recommended that signs
be installed prior to the start of the school year at the Village Manager's authority before
presenting the item to the Village Board of Trustees for ordinance. The Engineering staff will
observe traffic at the start of the school year and react to any new parking issues that may arise
and require immediate action. This may include, with the residents' feedback, expanding the
parking prohibition along the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard or addressing new issues on
Kennicott Place or Deborah Lane. Once the parking issues have been satisfactorily addressed
through signage, the item will be presented to the Village Board of Trustees for ordinance.
2) Discussion
Commissioner Kuehlthau introduced the item and invited the audience to comment on the
topic.
Colleen Bonica, 800 Kennicott Place, circulated the petition in the neighborhood. She expressed
safety concerns for both residents trying to access Lonnquist Boulevard and for children crossing
the street at unmarked locations.
TSC Meeting Page 5 of 7 July 11, 2016
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 60 of 578
Rose Marie Jordt, 806 Deborah Lane, also expressed safety concerns for residents trying to
access Lonnquist Boulevard during the school day. She compared the traffic increase on
Lonnquist Boulevard since the opening of the Early Learning Center to Golf Road. She requested
that resident -only parking signs be posted on Deborah Lane. Commissioner Kuehlthau asked if
permit parking was an option. Traffic Engineer Lawrie and Commander Smith commented that
public streets can be used by anyone and as a matter of policy Mount Prospect does not permit
resident -only parking.
Walter Jordt, 806 Deborah Lane, commented that school staff and visitors should park in the lot
on the west side of Holmes Junior High School. There are open spaces.
Commissioner Kuehlthau asked Traffic Engineer Lawrie to present the Engineering Division's
report. Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided the Commission with background information on this
issue and stated the Engineering Division's recommendations.
Commissioner Keane questioned if the Village should also restrict parking on the north side of
Lonnquist Boulevard. Traffic Engineer Lawrie responded that this may cause school staff and
visitors to park on the side streets such as Kennicott Place. Commander Smith said the Village
typically permits parking on the school side of the street as students would not have to cross the
street.
Commissioner Prosperi suggested extending the parking restriction on Lonnquist Boulevard east
of Kennicott Place to improve the sight line for residents turning onto Lonnquist Boulevard. It
would also prevent vehicles from parking close to the crosswalk. The Commission then
discussed extending the parking restriction west of Deborah Lane for the same reasons.
The Commission discussed the importance of the school district to encourage staff and visitors
to park in the off-street lots. This will minimize the parking issues seen on Village streets. They
asked that Village staff continue to work with the school district prior to the start of the next
school year.
The Commission supported restricting parking on Lonnquist Boulevard in the interest of safety.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie said the Engineering Division would monitor on -street parking at the
start of the school year and react to any new issues observed by residents and/or Village staff.
Commissioner Keane made a recommendation to approve the following:
1. Continue dialogue with School District 59 to minimize on -street parking.
2. Prohibit stopping, standing, parking on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard between
Deborah Lane and Kennicott Place on school days from 7:00am to 4:00pm.
3. Prohibit parking at all times on the south side of Lonnquist Boulevard for the first 20' west of
the crosswalk at Deborah Lane and the first 20' east of the crosswalk at Kennicott Place.
4. Observe traffic at the beginning of the school year and react to any new issues.
5. Present the item for ordinance to the Village Board of Trustees.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tortorello.
The motion was approved by a vote of 9-0.
Commissioner Tortorello requested the Police Department monitor on -street parking near the
Early Learning Center at the start of the next school year.
TSC Meeting Page 6 of 7 July 11, 2016

COMMISSION ISSUES
Commissioner Keane mentioned that he's noticed an increase in overnight parking on Harvest Lane,
Catino Court and other nearby streets. Commander Smith said the Police Department will investigate
the situation.
Commissioner Keane was appreciative of the recent road resurfacing work done in his neighborhood.
He said there is a road construction sign at Callero Circle and Catino Court that has not been picked up.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie said he would notify the contractor.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to discuss, the Transportation Safety Commission voted 9-0 to adjourn at 8:43
p.m. upon the motion of Commissioner Keane. Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion.

Information:
During the past year, the Village has accumulated an inventory of surplus personal
property that is no longer utilized. This surplus includes equipment that has been
replaced with new purchases.
Attached is a detailed list of the items (Attachment A) to be declared surplus and an
ordinance that authorizes the sale of these items. The only item included is a Pitney
Bowes refurbished bill inserter with a reserve value of $250. All items will be sold
utilizing the GovDeals.com Internet auction site. Staff has utilized GovDeals.com to
dispose of surplus personal property for the past five (5) years. To date, the Village
has sold 79 items garnering $321,000 in revenue. It is the opinion of staff that this
revenue stream is 10-20% higher than comparable sales at a live auction.
Revenues generated by the sale of surplus equipment are deposited as
miscellaneous revenue in the General Fund.
Alternatives:
1. Pass an ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus personal property owned by
the Village of Mount Prospect.
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:
This proposed ordinance does not require the expenditure of Village funds.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Village Board pass an ordinance authorizing the sale of
surplus personal property specified in Attachment A and owned by the Village of
Mount Prospect.

IN APPENDIX A, DIVISION II OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT
PROSPECT
Department: Finance
Information:
The Village of Mount Prospect currently offers annual permit parking spaces in the
Wille Street Parking Lot to residents and businesses. PerAppendixA, Division II of
Village Code Section 18.1327, the current rates are:
Business: $ 90.00/year
Residential: $ 360.00/year
The Wille Street Parking Lot is utilized by Prospect Avenue businesses for
employee parking and remaining spots are available to residents as commuter
parking. To be consistent with the parking rate increase from $30.00 to $40.00 per
month for the Mount Prospect Commuter Lot which took effect in May 2016, it
is our recommendation to increase the cost of the Wille Street Parking rates to the
following:
Business: $ 120.00/year
Residential: $ 480.00/year
The rate increase would be the first in the Wille Street annual parking rate for
businesses in 11 years. The residential rate was last increased in 2014 when the lot
changed from leased to permit parking .
Alternatives:
1. Approve ordinance authorizing the proposed Wille Street Lot permit parking
rates.
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 69 of 578

CHAPTER 17 "VEHICLE LICENSES" AND APPENDIX A, DIVISION II OF THE VILLAGE
CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
Department: Finance
Information:
The Village of Mount Prospect vehicle license period is from May 1 through April 30. The Village currently applies three
separate late penalties throughout the year for the delinquent purchase of licenses:
May 1 — June 30: 50% of license fee
July 1 —August 31: 75% of license fee
AfterAugust 31: 100% of license fee
Each time the late penalties change:
1. It is necessary to coordinate with the software vendor updates for each individual cost code; the online system is
unavailable to the public during this time.
2. Residents often request penalty exceptions requiring significant staff time and attention.
I n addition, staff feels the delinquent fee schedule is overly punitive to the resident who attempts to comply with the sticker
requirement.
Residents who move into the Village of Mount Prospect or purchase a new vehicle after April 30th and do not purchase a
sticker within the 30 -day allowance are also subject to a late fee. The fee is calculated based upon the length of time over the
30 -day allowance to determine whether the resident is in the first, second, or third penalty phase. Substantiation is required to
calculate the appropriate fee, making it necessary for the resident to provide the dated proof -of -purchase or lease. This
process can become very cumbersome.
A survey of eight neighboring municipalities indicates that six apply a single late fee, two apply a second late fee and none of
those surveyed apply a third late fee.
To eliminate the issues noted above and operate more efficiently, it is our suggestion to replace the current three escalating
vehicle license late fees with one late fee of 50%. The estimated lost revenue is $14,300 based on prior year late fees that
were assessed. The relatively small amount of lost revenue pales in comparison to the good will generated between residents
and the Village by making this change.
The Village of Mount Prospect also will assess a "Transfer" sticker for residents who change vehicles throughout the year.
The current fee for a transfer sticker is $5.00. The code requires that the original sticker be surrendered or proof of
destruction provided before a transfer may be issued.
Based upon feedback from our residents, the sticker material will change in 2017 from a non -transferable permanent TSF
Mylar material to a transferable Reinforced Mylar with less adhesive. Since the change in sticker material will make it easier to
remove and reapply, it is our recommendation to eliminate the requirement for a "Transfer' sticker and permit residents to
move a sticker to a replacement vehicle provided they notify the Village of vehicle or license plate number changes. The
estimated lost revenue based on prior year transfers is $5,100.

transfer fee.
2. Discretion of the Village Board
Budget Impact:
Estimated annual impact to revenue is a reduction of $19,400 to the Street Improvement Construction Fund.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Village Board pass an ordinance amending the Village Code eliminating the sticker
transfer fee and adjusting the delinquent fee schedule.

delinquent purchase of licenses:
May 1 — June 30: 50% of license fee
July 1 — August 31: 75% of license fee

Each time the late penalties change:
• It is necessary to coordinate with Third Millennium Associates, the disabling of
the vehicle sticker program for a period of time to manually perform the updates
for each individual cost code; the online system is unavailable to the public
during this time.
• Residents request penalty exceptions since they are only days over the deadline
for the previous fee.
Residents who move into the Village of Mount Prospect or purchase a new vehicle after
April 30th and do not purchase a sticker within the 30 -day allowance are subject to a late
fee. The fee is calculated based upon the length of time over the 30 -day allowance to

Transfers:
The Village of Mount Prospect Village Code 17.109 requires a "Transfer" sticker for
residents who change vehicles throughout the year. The current fee for a transfer
sticker is $5.00. The code requires that the original sticker be surrendered or proof of

Item VIII. J.: Waive the rule requirig two readings of an ordinance and adopt AN
ORDINANCE TO AMEND WATER AND SEWER RATES SET
FORTH IN APPENDIX A, DIVISION II OF THE VILLAGE CODE
Department: Finance
Information:
To present for the Board's consideration an ordinance increasing the Village's combined water and
sewer utility rate.
The Village continues to follow the practice of approving moderate annual increases to the combined
water and sewer rate, as opposed to implementing large increases periodically. The 2017 Budget
includes a 4.0% increase in this combined rate. The increase in water and sewer rates for 2016 was
5.0%. Adjustments to the utility rate had previously ranged from 9.0% to 9.5% in response to the
series of significant rate increases imposed by the City of Chicago. The four-year rate schedule
from Chicago that commenced in 2012 reflected annual increases of 25% in year one and 15% for
years two through four. Future increases in the cost of water purchased from Chicago are expected
to range between 4.0% and 5.0%.
The following table illustrates the recommended rates as reflected in the proposed ordinance.

Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 80 of 578
For sewer users not connected to the Village's water system, whether located inside or outside the
Village, the monthly charge per dwelling unit will increase 4.0% to $4.76.
Based on the proposed utility rate structure, if a Mount Prospect household uses 8,000 gallons of
water during a one-month period, their monthly water and sewer usage fee would be $92.76. This is
an increase of $3.36 from the current rate. No increase is being proposed for the monthly sewer
construction fee or monthly availability charge assessed customers outside of Special Service Area
No. 5. The monthly sewer construction fee remains at $5.00 while for most customers, those with a
5/8" water line, the monthly availability charge will remain at $10.00.
Recommendation:
It is recommended the Village Board approve the attached ordinance increasing the water and sewer
utility rate effective for bills rendered on or after January 1, 2017.

COLLECTION OF TAXES FOR THE CORPORATE AND
MUNICIPAL PURPOSES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT
PROSPECT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1,
2016 AND ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2016
Department: Finance
Information:
The Village Board discussed the proposed 2016 tax levy multiple times during the past year,
most recently at the Village Board meeting of November 15, 2016. The proposed levy
presented by staff provides for a 2.27% increase over the 2015 levy and totals $18,727,573. A
table showing the allocation for the proposed 2016 levy is included with this write-up.
Abatements reduce the gross 2016 levy by $1,252,301. The source of funds for abatements to
debt service come from an interest credit on the 2009C Bonds totaling $42,000 and home rule
sales taxes (flood control) totaling $396,956. The source of funds for abatement of the two
pension fund levies totaling $840,345 is the General Fund.
After some discussion, staff was asked to return with two alternative 2016 levies. The first
alternative reflects a 1.0% increase over the prior year levy. The levy amount for this alternative
totals $18,495,881, a reduction of $231,692 from the original proposed levy. The second
alternative reflects a flat levy, no increase from the prior year. The levy amount for this alternative
totals $18,312,756, a reduction of $414,817 from the original proposed levy. General Fund
monies would be needed to make up for the reduction in property tax revenue if one of these
alternative levies were approved.
The Village's 2015 equalized assessed valuation (EAV) is $1,354,550,848. Our total 2016 EAV
is estimated to increase approximately 8.0% from the prior year to $1,462,899,811. Growth in
the base EAV is projected at 4.0% using historical trends while approximately $54 million in
new growth, or an additional 4.0%, is expected from the recent annexations. The final 2016 EAV
will not be available until summer 2017. Using the projections for EAV, the Village's 2016 tax
rate is estimated at $1.280, compared to the 2015 rate of $1.352. The Library's 2016 tax rate is
estimated at $0.760, compared to the 2015 rate of $0.801.
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 86 of 578
For illustration purposes only, a home with an EAV of $97,161 will pay taxes of $1,167 in 2017
to the Village of Mount Prospect and $693 to the Library for the levy extended in 2016. Based
on the assumptions used for EAV growth and changes in the tax rate and state multiplier, the
Village portion of the levy for a typical home will see a decrease of $15 while a decrease in the
Library portion of the levy of $7 is expected. Please note that these amounts will vary based on
eligible tax reductions for homeowner or senior exemptions or senior assessment freezes.
Alternatives:
1. Pass an ordinance authorizing the 2016 property tax levy to reflect an increase
of 2.27% over the prior year.
2. Select an alternative levy and utilize General Fund reserves to make up for the
reduction in property tax revenue.
Recommendation:
It is recommended the Village Board approve the 2016 property tax levy reflecting
an increase of 2.27% over the prior year.

YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2016 AND ENDING DECEMBER
31, 2016
Department: Finance
Information:
This ordinance reduces a portion of the Series 2009C and Series 2013 debt service
tax levies established by its bond ordinance at the time of issuance. The abatement
of the Series 2009C levy is the result of issuing these bonds as Build America
Bonds as part of the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in 2009. This
federal program rebates 35% of the interest expense on taxable issues. The rebate
amount for 2017 is $42,000. Funds to abate the Series 2013 levy in its entirety will
come from the home rules sales tax dedicated to support flood control projects.
That rebate amount is $369,956.
The abatement to the public safety pension levies is not included in this ordinance
as there is no formal levy requirement established for the pension levies as there is
for debt service. It is important to note that these pension levies are being reduced
by $840,345 using General Funds. This is the first year of a four-year phase-in of
the levy requirement established by the pension actuary at the end of 2015. The
abatements to the pension levies for the next three levy years are $630,000,
$420,000 and $210,000. This phase-in allowed for more moderate increases to the
tax levy rather than the significant increase to the pension levies (20%) that would
have been realized had the entire amount been added to the levy.
Alternatives:
1. Pass an ordinance authorizing the abatement of all or portions of the Series
2009C Bonds and Series 2013 Bonds.
2. Discretion of the Village Board
Budget Impact:
Total abatements to the 2016 property tax levy are $1,252,301. Funds for the
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 113 of 578
abatement come from multiple sources and include the BAB subsidy, home rule
sales taxes (flood control) and the General Fund.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Village Board pass an ordinance abating the 2016
property tax levy.

Item X. E.: PZ -23-16: CODE AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTERS 5, 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21
AND DIVISION I OF THE APPENDIX OF THE VILLAGE CODE
Department: Community Development —Planning Division
Information:
A public hearing was held on October 27, 2016 by the Planning & Zoning Commission
to review the application by the Village of Mount Prospect (the "Petitioner') regarding
proposed amendments to the following code sections:
• Chapter 7: Sign Code
• Chapter 9: Public Utilities, Pavement and Tree Regulations
• Chapter 14: Zoning
• Chapter 15: Subdivision, Development and Site Improvement Procedures
• Chapter 16: Site Construction Standards
• Chapter 21: Building Code
The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the October 12, 2016 edition of the Daily
Herald Newspaper.
Summary of Proposal
Periodically, the Village performs amendments to the village code to better address
current development trends within the community. The Community Development
Department has been performing a review of these codes over the past year, with
support and feedback from Public Works, Village Manager's Office, and the Village
Attorney. The recommended modifications 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.
Specifically, Chapters 7 and 14 require amendment as a result of recent legal and
legislative decisions. Also included are adjustments to clarify, simplify, and better
organize the Zoning Ordinance. Many of the amendments are a result of requests by
residents to replace obsolete standards with provisions that are complimentary to
today's housing and construction market. This continuous improvement approach is
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 118 of 578
consistent with voai 5 of the Strategic Mian: vovernance. Looe amenaments 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.
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.
Chapter 7: Sign Code
Replaced in its entirety due to chapter reorganization
In response to the discussion at the September 13, 2016 Committee of the Whole
meeting, staff has worked in conjunction with our Village Attorney to revise our Sign
Regulations found in Chapter 7 of the Village Code. Minor changes discussed at that
meeting have been incorporated in this new draft, such as allowing one real estate sign
per street frontage for single-family residential properties. Guidelines regarding
Electronic Message Centers (EMC) have been further researched. Just as we have
eliminated "content -based" regulations for temporary or permanent signs, the EMC
regulations found in Article III Section 7.302 H. have been revised to avoid restrictions
on the information displayed, and instead limit the regulations to size, brightness,

Chapter 14: Zoning
Article 111: General Provisions — replaced in its entirety due to chapter reorganization
The General Provisions Article of Chapter 14 contains several proposed amendments
that will greatly improve the readability and understanding of regulations for all users.
Notable code and policy changes within this article:
• Design Standards (14.304.1), Fences and Walls (14.318), and Permitted
Obstructions (14.319) are each given their own code sections. This reorganization
will allow for users to find the information they are looking for quickly, and the code
is arranged in a logical fashion. Having section numbers will also allow for staff to
link directly to that specific section, using Sterling Codifier's online web access.
• 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 into the General Provisions section,
resulting in easier reference and clearer interpretation and enforcement of the
regulations.

cumbersome text format, making it difficult to find a particular improvement. A
permitted obstruction table is now proposed, resulting in easier reference.
Additional permitted obstructions are added to the table based upon current
development requests, including sport courts and "decorative outdoor structures"
such as light posts or other small landscape features that are currently not
regulated in the code. Clarification was also added to note where on a property
these regulations shall apply.
Articles VI: Land Use Table
Unique Use as a Conditional Use has been added to the Business, Industrial and
Office/Research Zoning Districts, with a definition of Unique Use added to Article XXV.
Articles VIII, IX, X, XI: Bulk Regulations for Various Zoning Districts
These code sections are modified to reflect a building height that would now be
measured from finished grade to peak of the roof. See also: the amendment to the
definition of Building Height noted in Chapter 21.
Article XXII: Off-street Parking and Loading — replaced in its entirety due to chapter
reorganization
A significant portion of the proposed amendments to Article XXII are related to
reorganization. This section contained several code "subsections" which were
consolidated into a "General Provisions" section, 14.2202. Other modifications of note
include:
• Driveway and parking pad regulations were modified/added. 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 now allows for parking pads and provides regulations pertaining to
side load garages. Pursuant to the feedback from the September 13th meeting,
parking pads will be applicable to attached garage situations only.
• A subsection now titled "Parking Lot Design" is proposed, 14.2206. This section
compiled regulations which currently exist in various areas and puts them under
one clear category. A modification to the existing language is included to ensure
the regulations related to parking stall and drive aisle dimensions are easily
interpreted.
• Parking lot lighting is struck from this section of the code and regulations are
proposed to be placed in Article III, General Provisions. This results in a code
where all lighting regulations are in one location. In addition, contradictory language
between lighting sections has been addressed.
Article XXIII: Landscape Requirements — replaced in its entirety due to chapter
reorganization
After a thorouah analvsis and discussion of the current reaulations. it was clear that the
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 120 of 578
landscaping section could be simplified without reducing the amount of landscape
required for various development projects. There was a great amount of "overlap" or
repetitiveness between subsections, and the applicability of the regulations was, in
some cases, unclear. The proposed amendments also include the addition of prohibited
and recommended plant lists. This results in a code that can be more easily reflected in
a landscape plan, leading to efficient staff review of submissions.
Article XXIV.Definitions
Many of the proposed "additions" to this section of Chapter 14 are relocated from other
articles within the chapter, i.e. terms related to personal wireless telecommunication
facilities. Therefore, all definitions for Chapter 14 are found in one location. Other
additions include new definitions for Unique Use, Temporary Structure, Parking Pad,
and Outdoor Storage Cabinets. Modification to the definition of FAR (Floor Area Ratio)
was made to accurately reflect the applicability of the regulation and to be clearer to the
reader. Some outdated terminology was struck from the article, as it is no longer used
elsewhere in the Village Code.
Chapter 9: Public Utilities, Pavement and Tree Regulations
Article III: Public Streets and Sidewalks
The changes to this article include adding the term "drive aisle" for certain regulations
regarding driveway and drive aisle aprons. This change results in consistency between
Chapter 9 and Chapter 14. Driveways refer to single-family access while drive aisles
refer to non -single family parking lot access.
Chapter 15: Subdivision, Development and Site Improvement Procedures
Article ll: Rules and Definitions
This amendment includes definitions for driveway, drive aisle, and their associated
aprons, with consistent application in Chapters 9 and 14.
Chapter 16: Site Construction Standards
Article III: Paving, Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter
The amendments to this section result in consistency in regulations of parking lot
striping found in Chapter 14. The proposed amendments also include clarification of
drive aisle width requirements, which directly relates to parking lot design.
Chapter 21: Building Code
Article V.Definitions
The proposed amendment to the definition of "Height of a Building" is included in this
section. The use of this definition is carried throughout bulk regulations found in Chapter
14 (Zoning). Current language takes measurement of a building from base grade to the
midpoint of a pitched roof. The proposed amendment takes the measurement to the
peak of a roof, which results in greater understanding of the regulation and is easier to
provide on building plans. The amended definition also makes reference to "finished
grade", a term which more accurately describes how the overall height should be
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 121 of 578
calculated — from averaged finished grade to peak of a roof. Changes to the overall
height of a structure as a result of this proposed definition change are reflected
throughout Chapter 14 (Zoning), so the overall heights of buildings will be consistent with
today's regulations.
Standards for Text Amendments
Section 14.203 (D) lists standards for the P&Z to consider for text amendments to the
Zoning Code. The standards relate to:
• The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an
individual parcel;
• Consistency of the amendment with objectives of the Zoning Code and
Comprehensive Plan;
• The degree to which the amendment would create non -conformity;
• The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more
permissive; and
• Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous
rulings.
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code would be applicable to the community
as a whole and are not proposed in response to an individual parcel within the Village.
The amendments are comprehensive in nature, and will have limited impact on creating
additional nonconformities. The proposed amendments would not make the Zoning
Code more permissive. The majority of the proposed changes are intended to reflect
current Village objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and other accepted
planning documents. The proposed amendments satisfy the standards for text
amendments as required in the zoning code.
The proposed text amendments to the zoning and subdivision codes are contained in
the attached documents. Modifications to each the chapters are indicated
as deletions, additions and relocations of existing regulations. For Chapter 7, these
modifications are noted as delet'e ;s and relocations.

Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm. Commissioner Youngquist made a motion to
approve the minutes of the September 8, 2016 meeting Commissioner Filippone seconded the motion.
The minutes were approved 4-0 with Commissioners Fitzgerald and Filippone abstaining. Chairman
Donnelly introduced case PZ -23-16 and stated that the case was Village Board final.
Mrs. Arguilles stated that Village Staff is presenting code amendments to Chapters 7,9,14,15,16 & 21 of
the Village Code. She further explained the Community Development Department has been performing a
review of these codes over the past year, with support and feedback from Public Works, Village
Manager's office, and the Village Attorney. She stated that the changes were discussed at the September
13, 2016 Village Board and Planning & Zoning Commission joint meeting and that the information
presented tonight addressed the feedback received at the joint meeting.
Mrs. Arguilles summarized the reasons for the updates including- resolving conflicts or absence of
regulation, and to address current development trends and feedback from community stakeholders. She
also stated that the sign code needed to be amended to eliminate content based categories in response to a
recent Supreme Court ruling.
She introduced Neighborhood Planner, Janet Saewert, to explain the amendments to the sign code.

Mrs. Saewert stated that Article I still includes the General Purpose and Scope and combined the general
comments. She explained that Article II contains information regarding Prohibited and Exempt Signs
with no significant changes to the Prohibited Section. She further explained that Article II also includes
all of the signs that do not need a permit; for instance, traffic control, public information, flags, window
signs, and sidewalk signs. Category based signs were eliminated from the Exempt Section
Mrs. Saewert explained that Article III contains the general guidelines for all signs that require a permit
which include temporary and permanent signs. She mentioned the significant changes that were made in
this Article. Category based signs were eliminated from the Temporary Sign Section. Regarding
Permanent signs, she explained that the max area for a freestanding sign was changed to 75 square feet
and 12 feet in height.
She further stated, in this Article the special use permits were eliminated and the changeable copy boards
and electronic message centers were combined allowing a maximum of 6 permanent items of information,
40% of the sign area can be changeable, static messages only, transition must be instant, and messages
must be displayed at least 10 seconds.
Mrs. Saewert gave a brief explanation on how the light from a sign is measured.
Mrs. Saewert discussed some other significant changes to article III which included eliminating special
area of control, and the current Article IV "Sign Design". She stated that signs allowed in the B5 zoning
district are now included under "Projecting Signs".
She summarized the following changes of Articles IV -VII:
• Article IV- Illumination and Maintenance
o Provided illumination guidelines for all signs in one section
• Article V- Administration and Enforcement
o Referred applicant to the permit application for submission requirements
• Article VI- Appeals Variations and Text Amendments
o Eliminated Special Use Permits
• Article VII- Definitions and Illustrations
o Updated definitions and illustrations
Mrs. Saewert asked if there were any questions regarding Chapter 7. Hearing no questions from the
board, Village Staff moved forward with Chapter 14.
Mrs. Arguilles stated the notable code and policy changes within article III of Chapter 14 included
providing own sections for design standards, fences and walls, and permitted obstructions to make it
easier for the public to find in the code. She further explained that article III now combined the lighting
sections into one. Also, a table was added to the article listing the permitted obstructions with some
additional permitted obstructions based upon current development requests. She further explained that the
sectional was clarified to note where on a property these regulations would apply.
Mrs. Arguilles discussed the Land Use Table in Article VI was amended to include unique uses as a
conditional use and added a definition of a unique use to Article XXV. She stated that a unique use
would be anything that isn't clearly defined in the land use table.

She further explained that articles VIII, IX, X, XI regarding the bulk regulations for various zoning
districts were modified to reflect that building height would be measured from finished grade to peak of
the roof.
Mrs. Arguilles summarized the modifications to Article XXII: Off-street parking and loading as the
following:
• Modified driveway and parking pad regulations
• Added a subsection titled "Parking Lot Design" to help clarify regulations & standards
• Removed the parking lot lighting from the section and combined with the lighting regulations
provided in Article III- General Provisions.
She further explained that Article XXIIL Landscape Requirements were simplified without reducing the
amount of landscape required and reintroduced a list of prohibited and recommended plantings.
Mrs. Arguilles stated that Article XXIV- Definitions contains some "additions" which are relocations
from other articles within the chapter. Other additions include new definitions for Unique Use, Temporary
Structure, Parking Pad, and Outdoor Storage Cabinets.
She further explained the definition of FAR (Floor Area Ratio) was modified to accurately reflect the
applicability of the regulation and to clearer to the reader. Also, outdated terminology was removed.
Mrs. Arguilles summarized the minor changes to the following chapters:
Chapter 9: Public Utilities, Pavement and Tree Regulations
• Added the term "drive aisle"
Chapter 15: Subdivision, development, and Site Improvement Procedures
• Included definitions for driveway, drive aisle, and their associated aprons
Chapter 16: Site Construction Standards
• Amended to be consistent with parking lot striping found in Chapter 14
• Clarified drive aisle width requirements
Chapter 21: Building Code
• Amended definition of "height of a building" to be consistent with the bulk regulations found in
Chapter 14 (Zoning)
Mrs. Arguilles summarized the standards for the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider for text
amendments to the Zoning Code as the following:
• The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
• Consistency of the amendment with objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan;
• The degree to which the amendment would create non -conformity;
• The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive; and
• Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
Mrs. Arguilles stated the proposed amendments satisfy the standards for text amendments as required in
the zoning code. The proposed amendments would be applicable to the community as a whole and are

in nature, and will have limited impact on creating additional nonconformities. The proposed amendments
would not make the Zoning Code more permissive. The majority of the proposed changes are intended to
reflect current Village objectives as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and other accepted planning
documents.
Mrs. Arguilles stated that Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a
recommendation to the Village Board to approve the text amendments as outlined in the documents for
case PZ -23-16, which would perform certain amendments to the text of the Village Code.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Commissioner Beattie thanked Staff for their time and effort for the significant amount of changes being
proposed.
Commissioner Youngquist asked if the height requirement being measured to the peak has been changed
in all of the zoning districts.
Mrs. Arguilles stated it was for the single-family residential districts and stated the change would not
increase the height that is already permitted. The code sections were modified to reflect a building height
as measured from finished grade to peak of the roof versus to the midpoint of the roof.
Commissioner Mizwicki clarified that the temporary construction signs should be removed three days
after the project is completed or after the final inspection.
Mrs. Arguilles stated that the sign would be required to be removed three days after the project is
complete. Mrs. Saewert stated only the exempt signs that measure up to sixteen square feet or less are
limited to the three day period and clarified a permit would be required for temporary sign that is larger in
size and could be up for a full year.
Hearing no further questions, Commissioner Beattie made a motion seconded by Commissioner
Youngquist to approve the following motion:
"To approve the text amendments as outlined in the attached documents for case PZ -23-16 which would
perform certain amendments to the text of both the Village's Zoning and Subdivision regulations."

Electronic message centers, or EMCs, continue to grow in popularity for business and community use. You may have heard EMCs being
referred to as changeable message displays or digital signs.
EMCs are not digital billboards, which advertise a good or service that is located away from the sign. Rather, EMCs are digital signs that
are located on the premises, and that advertise goods and services that are available at the location.
Electronic Message Center (EMC)llorpremise sign advertising a bank that is
located on the .some premises as the .sign
Digital b `F+`boord/affpremis`e sign advertising on automobile business `in another
location
There is often confusion regarding on- and off -premise digital signs. However, EMCs and digital billboards have very distinct capabilities and
purposes, each targets a specific audience and each has traditionally been treated under separate legal and regulatory regimes, a zoning
practice which was noted in the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Reed v. the Town of Gilbert. For the purposes of this publication, we
are focusing solely and exclusively on EMCs.
EMCs that are too bright at night can be offensive and ineffective. Night-time EMC brightness is an issue where sign users, the sign industry,
and local offices have a common goal: ensuring that EMCs are appropriately legible. We know the messages that these signs convey can
be rendered unattractive and perhaps even unreadable if they are programmed too bright.
That's why many sign companies recommend to their customers that in order for these signs to be most effective, their brightness be set
at such a level to be visible, readable and conspicuous.

The International Sign Association (ISA) retained noted lighting expert Dr. Ian Lewin of Lighting Sciences to help the industry develop scientifically -
researched, understandable recommendations for EMC brightness. Dr. Lewin was a past chair of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North
America (IES), and was greatly respected within the lighting field. His work for ISA was conducted with the input of experts within the sign industry.
As a result of his research, Dr. Lewin recommended two different brightness settings based on whether the EMC was located in an area of
high or low ambient light. After field testing and utilizing Dr. Lewin's recommendations, it was determined that using the more conservative
recommendation is appropriate in areas of both low and high ambient light. In order to simplify Dr. Lewin's recommendations, and to take
a more reasonable approach to ensure that EMCs are sufficiently visible but not overly bright, it is recommended that EMCs not exceed
0.3 footcandles over ambient lighting conditions when measured at the recommended distance, based on the EMC size.
The research and the recommendations contained in this report pertain only to EMCs, not traditionally internally illuminated signs, such
as these channel letter and neon signs below. EMCs use a different lighting technology than most of these types of signs, and as such the
scientific approach differs.
Community leaders should understand that, while it is recommended that brightness measurements be taken perpendicular to the sign,
sign viewers rarely see the sign at that some perpendicular approach. At any viewing point away from or off the forward angle, the apparent
brightness will be reduced. In other words, the measurements will capture the recommended brightness levels, but, unless viewers are
looking at the sign directly perpendicular, they will not perceive the brightness at the full level.
We have provided recommended statutory language and tips to measure brightness with and without control of the EMC. If you need further
assistance, feel free to contact ISA, signhelp@signs.org or at (703) 836-4012 to answer any of your EMC questions.

COLUMBUS
COMMUNITY ............ Columbus, Ohio
POPULATION............ 836,000
LOCATION .............. As Ohio's largest city and state capitol, Columbus is the country's 15th largest city.
SPECIFIC EMC ISSUE..... Crafting a reasonable, enforceable code that addresses complaints while preserving
the ability for businesses to use what it termed automatic changeable copy signs.
As automatic changing copy signs—as Columbus refers to EMCs—grew in use, so did community complaints.
By 2011, city planners began to edit the graphics codes to limit special effects. The goal was to continue
to allow for a variety of commercial graphics, "but not at the expense of neighborhoods," said Lisa Russell,
the city's Planner II who facilitated the code development project.
The city had in place certain limits on automatic changing copy signs, aka EMCs, in the graphics code,
limiting their use to commercial and manufacturing zoning districts and requiring that only half of the
sign could be used for the changeable copy. But signs lacked brightness limits and a hold time.
Russell led a team to draft the new code, which incorporated a brightness limit for both on -premise and
off -premise signs. The testing method also is included in the code.
It was the result of much scientific discussion. "I believe that the best answer is revealed if you have
enough information," Russell said. The committee included a community group leader who was an
architect specializing in lighting and representatives from the sign and graphics industry.
"When we started exploring brightness, it appeared the footcandle method was the way to go," Russell
said. "However, some group members wanted us to explore the luminance method. ISA believed so
strongly that the luminance method was problematic that they brought a demonstration to us."
The demonstration included a field trip to visit a sign to show the impact of the two measurement
methods. "They wanted to make sure that we didn't go down the wrong path. They rented a lift and
showed us that with the luminance method you'd have to get up in the lift, raise it and shine the nit gun
at the sign. With the footcandle meter, you can stand on the ground."
Russell helped the group to see that the "members of the professional sign and graphics industry are not
the some as end-users of signs, such as an owner of a carryout who wants to draw attention to his shop
over others. We all had an interest in developing reasonable regulations instead of just banning these
signs. We also did not want to take away the rights that businesses had to display electronic signs."
The new code has significantly lessened complaints about sign brightness. And when a complaint is
received, the code enforcement officers have a verifiable process for determining whether the sign
complies with the code.

COMMUNITY ........... Kitsap County, Washington
POPULATION............ 260,000
LOCATION .............. Across the Puget Sound from Seattle and bordered by rural
communities on the west. It is the third most densely populated county in the state.
SPECIFIC EMC ISSUE..... Existing codes did not cover electronic signs.
�-,A ILI ",I:;AI CII
As a "transition" county between rural Washington and the metropolitan city of Seattle, Kitsap County
had the challenges of creating regulations for electronic signs that fit the county's dual personalities.
"The first step was to identify where these signs would be allowed," said Darren Gurnee, a planner with
the county. "We wanted to make sure these were restricted to areas of increased density and primarily
non-residential use such as industrial zones and commercial zones within the urban growth area."
Previously, the county had allowed electronic signs "as a matter of interpretation," Gurnee said. Crafting
more defined electronic sign regulations would provide a measure of stability—and help business owners
know what was allowed and where. An added bonus: Gurnee felt the signs would be more attractive
than the block letters signs that had to be changed manually.
While the county wanted to make it easier for businesses to convert existing static monument signs
into electronic signs, it also wanted to ensure that the regulations were not written in a way that would
allow billboards to convert.
"We were able to craft our regulations in a way that required signs be brought into conformance before
any change could be made," Gurnee said. "Billboards were non -conforming, so that would not be an
issue."
ISA provided Gurnee with industry standards—contained in this publication—and some background
on the technology that today's electronic signs offer, such as automatic dimming. It also incorporated
some of the recommended language on animation, hold times and transitions.
"The regulation is written in a way that it would be easy to enforce," Gurnee said, and easy to understand,
without the ambiguities contained in the previous method. The ending code created a perfect fit for
both of the community's personalities.

COMMUNITY ........... Sparks, Nevada
POPULATION............ 93,500
LOCATION .............. A rapidly growing community, Sparks is located near Lake Tahoe,
California, and Reno, Nevada, and is Nevada's fifth largest city.
SPECIFIC EMC ISSUE..... Existing regulations were difficult to enforce and outdated.
Sparks, Nevada had existing regulations of electronic message centers—or electronic variable signs as
the community deemed them. But "it wasn't very explicit," said senior planner Karen Melby. "The brightness
standards were in lumens, which we didn't even know how to measure."
The regulations were outdated as well—having been drafted in 2002. Technology had changed dramatically
and the costs of EMCs had dropped, putting them in the range of more businesses' budgets. "We felt
we could see more coming and felt that we needed to get a handle on it."
As a first step, planners required that those seeking an EMC permit meet their standards before approval
was granted, but nothing was written into the code. That method can create problems.
So Melby led the city through the code revision process. She sought out industry expertise from both
the planning community and the sign and graphics industry. For industry insight, she turned to ISA. ISA
provided feedback on how other communities were regulating electronic message centers, and rec-
ommendations on what was working for these communities.
One outside group felt strongly that the standards should be regulated in nits, not footcandles. They brought
in an expert who opposed the proposed regulations. But Melby held strong on the issue of footcandles.
"In my research, it seems like footcandle is what you can see with your eyes while a nit is pinpointing a
spot on a sign. When you look at a sign, you're looking at the whole thing, not just one small spot."
The city adopted the widely recognized standard of 0.3 footcandles above ambient light, using the distance
measurements outlined in this publication. Melby took that table, determined the formula and wrote the
formula into the code.
The community allows smaller signs—those under 32 square feet—to include scrolling, while those larger
do not.
The result has been a city that has successfully navigated the balance between business interests and
community aesthetics. "We've had very few complaints," Melby said. "When we do get a complaint
about a sign being too bright, we go out and measure it. When they bring it down to standards, we don't
get complaints."
Being able to use a simple light meter to measure brightness is for easier than simply guessing whether
the sign is in compliance, Melby said. "The other method (measuring nits) was really based on opinion.
What may seem bright to me may not seem bright to you. Now, we can say, 'This is what the meter says."'
By having clear standards that are easier to enforce, both community and business win.

This summary has been developed with an understanding that EMCs that are unreasonably bright are not effective for the
communities or end users. This intends to help communities and stakeholders develop brightness standards for on -premise
EMCs. The summary comprises:
1) An overview of the importance of ensuring appropriate brightness,
2) Technology utilized to ensure appropriate brightness, and
3) Recommended brightness standards
1. Overview of the importance of ensuring
appropriate night-time brightness.
EMCs that are too bright at night can be offensive and ineffective.
There are significant advantages to ensuring than an electronic
display is not overly bright. These advantages include:
Conservation of energy
Increased life expectancy of the electronic display components
Building goodwill with the community
Ensuring the legibility of the display
It is in the best interest of all stakeholders to ensure that EMCs are
sufficiently bright to ensure clear legibility, while at the same time
avoiding a display that is overly bright.
2. Technology utilized to ensure appropriate
brightness.
Most EMCs are designed to produce sufficient brightness to
ensure clear legibility during daylight hours. However, daytime
brightness settings are usually inappropriate for night-time
viewing. The following general methods are used to dim an
EMC for appropriate night-time viewing:
1. Manual Dimming. Using this method, the sign operator dims
the display in response to changing ambient light conditions.
2. Scheduled Dimming. Sunset -sunrise tables allow an EMC
to be programmed to dim at the some time that the sun sets
and rises. This method is generally acceptable, but is more
effective when used as a backup to automatic dimming controls
capability, such as photocell technology.
3. Photocell Technology. An EMC that utilizes photocell technology
can automatically dim as light conditions change. A photocell
sensor alerts the display to adjust brightness according to
ambient light conditions.
3. Recommended night-time brightness standards.
Dr. Lewin recommended the development of brightness criteria
based on the Illuminating Engineering Society's (IES) well-established
standards pertaining to light trespass, IES Publication TM -11-00.
The theory of light trespass is based on the concept of determining
the amount of light that can spill over (or "trespass") into an adjacent
area without being offensive.
In order to simplify Dr. Lewin's recommendations, and to take a
more reasonable approach to ensure that EMCs are sufficiently
visible but not overly bright, it is recommended that EMCs not
exceed 0.3 footcandles over ambient lighting conditions
when measured at the recommended distance, based on
the EMC size.

ANGUAGE
Electronic Message Center (EMC) Criteria: The night-time
illumination of an EMC shall conform with the criteria set forth in
this section.
A. EMC Illumination Measurement Criteria: The illuminance of
an EMC shall be measured with an illuminance meter set to measure
footcandles accurate to at least two decimals. Illuminance shall be
measured with the EMC off, and again with the EMC displaying a
white image for a full color -capable EMC, or a solid message for a
single -color EMC. All measurements shall be taken as close as practical
to a perpendicular plane of the sign at the distance determined by the
total square footage of the EMC as set forth in the accompanying
Sign Area of a Sign versus Measurement Distance table.
B. EMC Illumination Limits: The difference between the off and
solid -message measurements using the EMC Measurement Criteria
shall not exceed 0.3 footcandles at night.
C. Dimming Capabilities: All permitted EMCs shall be equipped
with a sensor or other device that automatically determines the ambient
illumination and programmed to automatically dim according to
ambient light conditions, or that can be adjusted to comply with the
0.3 footcandle measurements.
D. Definition of EMC: A sign that utilizes computer-generated
messages or some other electronic means of changing copy. These
signs include displays using incandescent lamps, LEDs, LCDs or a
flipper matrix.

(Note: This method can be completed by one individual, but requires operational control to shutoff the EMC)
OBTAIN AN ILLUMINANCE METER.
Purchase or otherwise procure an illuminance meter. Most city/county
traffic departments have an illuminance meter, which are also referred
to as lux or footcandle meters (lux is the metric measure of illuminance;
footcandles is the English measure of illuminance). The illuminance
meter must have the ability to provide a reading up to two decimal
places and must be set to read footcandles. It is preferred to have
an illuminance meter with a screw -mount that allows the sensor to
be mounted on a tripod. A tripod ensures that the highly sensitive
sensor is held perfectly still; otherwise it may be difficult to obtain
an accurate reading.
DETERMINE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
Determine the square footage of the face of the electronic message
sign (EMC) by multiplying the height and width of the EMC. This infor-
mation may be available in a permit application, or can be determined
by physically measuring the height and width of the EMC. Do not
include the sign face square footage attributable to any additional
static signs associated with the EMC (if applicable).
DETERMINE THE MEASUREMENT DISTANCE.
Using the total square footage found in Step 2, look up the measurement
distance in the table provided in the Recommended Legislative
Language on page 8, to determine the distance to measure the
brightness of the EMC. The distance should be measured perpendicular
to the EMC sign face. The use of a measuring wheel, laser finder
or a smartphone app are the most convenient ways to measure
the distance.

PREPARE THE DISPLAY FOR TESTING.
Ensure that the EMC is programmed to alternate between a solid white
(or in the case of a monochrome display - the solid color of the display)
message and a blank message. The community may require that the
sign owner cooperate with testing by programming the EMC for
testing upon written notice.
f- ;
USE AN ILLUMINANCE METER TO MEASURE THE BRIGHTNESS
OF THE EMC.
Mount the sensor of your illuminance meter to a tripod and orient
the sensor directly towards the face of the EMC at the measurement
distance determined in Step 2.
Ensure that the illuminance meter is set to measure footcandles up
to two decimal places. As the display alternates between a solid
white message and an "off" message, note the range of values on the
illuminance meter. If the difference between the readings is less than
0.3 footcandles, then the brightness of the display is in compliance.
If not, the display will need to be adjusted to a lower brightness
level using the manufacturer's recommended procedures.

ENSURE THAT THE DISPLAY CAN ADJUST TO DIFFERENT
AMBIENT CONDITIONS.
Inspect the sign to ensure that it incorporates a photocell or other
technology to ensure that the display can adjust according to ambient
lighting conditions.

(Note: This method requires two individuals, but does not require operational control of the EMC.)
There will be instances where the EMC illumination needs to be
evaluated to ensure that it does not exceed the brightness levels
established in the municipal sign ordinance. If the municipality is
unable to obtain access to the sign controls or attempting to take the
measurement after business hours, this method should be followed.
Unlike the six -step process described previously, this process measures
the difference in brightness between the sign in operation and when
the sign is completely blocked from the illuminance meter. This proce-
dure is extremely simple and requires only an illuminance meter and
a piece of painted cardboard cut to the proper size.

POSITION THE TESTERS.
Based on the size of the digital display, the person conducting the test
should position themselves as close to directly in front of the digital
display as practical, at the appropriate distance (calculated in Step 3).
A helper should position themselves about 7 ft. to 10 ft. in front of
the light meter and hold up an opaque, black sheet of material that
is roughly 12 in. high by 40 in. wide. (Regular cardboard painted
matte black works well for this.) The sheet should be positioned so it
blocks all light from the EMC, but still allows the remaining ambient
light to register on the illuminance meter.

USE AN ILLUMINANCE METER.
The illuminance meter should be held at a height of about 5 ft.
(which is approximately eye level) and aimed directly at the EMC.
The illuminance meter will account for surrounding sources of light
or the absence thereof.
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
In this case our ambient light reading was 2.3 fc. The new light reading
with the LED displaying a full white frame cannot read above 2.6 fc or 2.3
(ambient)+0.3 (threshold). If a full white frame cannot be arranged, watch
the meter to see if any ad exceeds 2.6 fc.
I lllllullllll�dlllllllllluuum
T.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
At this point, readings should be taken from the illuminance meter
to establish a baseline illumination level. (ISA recommends that the
illuminance meter is capable of levels to 2 decimal places 0.00).
Once the baseline level is established, add 0.3 footcandles to the
baseline level to calculate the max brightness limit. (For example:
Baseline reading is 3.15 footcandles. The max brightness level is
3.45 footcandles.)
T,, ,6
DETERMINE THE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL.
Remove the opaque sheet from blocking the EMC. Watch the foot-
candle meter for 3 to 5 minutes to see if the max brightness level is
exceeded by any of the images on the sign. If the readings do not
exceed the max brightness levels, then the EMC illumination is in
compliance.
If any of readings consistently exceed the max brightness level, the
lighting level is not in compliance. In this scenario, the municipality
will need to inform the sign owner of noncompliance and take
appropriate steps to ensure that the EMC be adjusted to a lower
brightness level using the manufacturer's recommended procedures.

A. The planning and zoning commission shall not recommend or grant a variation
unless it shall make findings of fact based upon evidence presented at the hearing in
any given case that:
1. The sign in question cannot reasonably identify the establishment if permitted to
be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations of the sign
ordinance.
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and the proposed variation
will not merely serve as a convenience to the petitioner, but will alleviate some
demonstrable and unusual hardship which will result if the strict letter of the
regulations of this chapter were carried out and which particular hardship or
practical difficulty is not generally applicable to other comparable signs or
properties.
3. The alleged hardship has not been created by any person presently having a
proprietary interest in the subject sign (or property).
4. The proposed variation will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood.
5. The proposed variation will not impair visibility to the adjacent property, increase
the danger of traffic problems or endanger the public safety.
6. The proposed variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood;
and
7. The proposed variation is in harmony with the spirit and intent of this chapter.
B. The planning and zoning commission may impose such conditions and restrictions
upon the subject sign and property, the location, the construction, design and use of
the sign benefited by such a variation as may be necessary or appropriate to comply
with the foregoing standards and to protect adjacent property and property values,
and ensure traffic safety.

A. When a text amendment is proposed, the planning and zoning commission shall
make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with
respect to, but not limited to, the following matters:

village at large and not intended to benefit specific property.
2. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the objectives of this chapter
and the intent of the applicable sign regulation.
3. The degree to which the proposed amendment would create nonconformity.
4. The degree to which the proposed amendment would make this chapter more
permissive.
5. The consistency of the proposed amendment with other plans and ordinances
regulating property development.

14.307: STANDARDS FOR HOME OCCUPATIONS:II
"Home occupations", as defined in section 14.2401 of this chapter, shall be governed by
the following standards to ensure that they are conducted in a manner that does not
have any adverse impact on a residential area, or infringe on the rights of adjoining
property owners:
A. There shall be no sign displayed in conjunction with a home occupation. The purpose
of this standard is to assure that no commercial signs are displayed in residential
areas.
B. There shall be no separate entrance for use by a home occupation, or any exterior
alteration to a dwelling unit that will indicate from the exterior that any part of the
residence is being used for any purpose other than that of a dwelling. The entrance
to any space devoted to a home occupation shall be from within the dwelling. The
purpose of this standard is to prohibit any alterations to a dwelling solely to
accommodate a home occupation.
C. Storage or inventory maintained at a residence in conjunction with a home
occupation shall not exceed one hundred (100) cubic feet. The purpose of this
standard is to limit any storage to an amount that could readily be stored in a closet.
D. There shall be no noise, odor, dust, vibration, smoke, glare, television signal
interference or radio signal interference, electrical interference, fire hazard or any
other hazard emanating from the dwelling. No home occupation shall involve the use
or production of noxious, toxic or harmful materials. The purpose of this standard is
to ensure that a home occupation has no adverse environmental impact on adjoining
properties.
Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 22
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 271 of 578
Updated: Q« to a e ...Il..4.9eptemlbea 2, 2016
E. No person shall be employed other than a member of the immediate family residing
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.

1. Placement: Comment [IT18]: We don't take collocations
The village encourages toPzorVB
collocation to minimize the proliferation of antenna supporting structures. Owners,
lessees, or their representatives shall cooperate in good faith to achieve collocation
Chapter 14, Article III General Provisions 33
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 282 of 578
Updated: Dto a e ...Il..4.9eptemlbea 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.
2. Structure Design: Any proposed
guyed, lattice, or monopole tower shalll be designed structurally, electrically / Comment [IT19]: Roof mounted should be
and, in all respects, to accommodate both the applicant's antennas and comparable excluded here, as its only for collocation
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 bra} he 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.

H. Screening: A combination of landscaping, berming, fences or other screening
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:( Il IEl
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 46
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 295 of 578
Updated: Dto a Gni ...Il..4.9eptemlbea 2, 2016
energy generation. Conditional use permits to authorize WECS are allowed in all
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.

ate � « ta�a a
f. All climbing apparatus affixed to a WECS tower shall terminate twelve feet (12')
short of ground level.
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
to prevent uncontrolled rotation, overspeeding and excessive pressure on the tower
structure, rotor blades and turbine components.
B. Solar Energy Conversion Systems: The village of Mount Prospect has found solar
energy conversion systems (SECS) to be a viable and useful method of localized
energy generation. SECS shall be permitted in all zoning districts in accordance with
the following minimum standards:
1. Rooftop mounted SECS:
a. Shall not project higher than the maximum building height permitted for the
zoning district. If mounted on an accessory structure, the SECS shall not project
higher than the maximum height permitted for that structure.
b. 11Lnou n.. �nu� j. Cnhall be mounted flush With the sloDe of the roof

14.2301: INTENT AND PURPOSE?� ]i El
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?]

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

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)

Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 354 of 578
Updated g ptembe 2,.2 II D:Ao b r....:I.4:.....20,1:.6
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.
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 355 of 578
Updated g ptembe 2,.2 II D:Ao b r....:I.4:.....20,1:.6
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:

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
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 394 of 578
Updated November 17, 2016
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:
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 395 of 578
Updated November 17, 2016
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
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.

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).

Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 470 of 578
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;
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.
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.
H. Screening: A combination of landscaping, berming, fences or other screening 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.
372461_2
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 471 of 578
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.
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 beyond that set forth in this
subsection L, shall be subject to review by the planning and zoning commission and
approval of the village board.
1. Special Events: Temporary personal wireless service facilities shall be permitted 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
372461_2
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 472 of 578
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:
1. Federal aviation administration permit and the FAA reply;
2. Copy of the FCC permit and intermodulation interference report;
3. Copy of the annual filing to the FCC stating the carrier's compliance with all FCC rules and
regulations.

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.

requirements of the zoning district in which the WECS is located or be set back a
distance equal to 1.1 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').

SECTION 10: Article XXII "Off Street Parking and Loading" to Chapter 14 "Zoning" to the
Mount Prospect Village Code shall be removed in its entirety and shall be replaced in its entirety
as follows:
14.2201: SCOPE OF REGULATIONS:
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:
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 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,
372461_2
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 499 of 578
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 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
chapter 16 of this code. Off street parking facilities and drive aisles shall be designed so as to
discourage use of same as shortcuts and/or bypasses when located between major arterial
roadways. Wherever feasible, shared interconnects and shared drive aisles with adjoining
properties shall be provided. (Ord. 5751, 8-4-2009)
G. Repair and Service. No motor vehicle repair work of a commercial nature shall be permitted
in conjunction with off street parking facilities provided. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
H. Maintenance. Upon completion, all off street parking facilities shall be properly maintained at
all times, without potholes, broken curbing or other irregularities. (Ord. 4590, 9-21-1993)
I. Land Banking. Any development that has a requirement for one hundred fifty (150) 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
372461_2
Village Board Meeting - December 6, 2016 Page 500 of 578
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)
K. Construction Specifications. The construction of off street parking facilities shall conform to all
site construction specifications contained in chapter 16 of this code. (Ord. 5253, 5-21-2002)

of a Class 6b property tax incentive for Wireformers Inc. for their property located at
500 W. Carboy Road. The renewal would be for an additional 12 years and would
enable Wireformers to maintain their operations in Mount Prospect.
The Village has granted several Cook County Class 6b tax incentives to attract and
retain businesses. The 6b incentive reduces the assessment level for qualified
manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities from 25% to 10% for the first 10
years, 15% for year 11 and 20% in year 12. After year 12, the assessment level
returns to the full 25% for the benefitting property. The 6b incentive can also be
renewed for additional 12 year terms if supported by the Village.
Wireformers currently employs 12 individuals at their facility. They are requesting the
Class 6b abatement to maintain their taxes at around $1.30 per square foot for their
property. If the extension is not granted they estimate that their tax bill would rise to
$3.45 per square foot. Similar properties in nearby Lake and DuPage County range
from $1 to $1.50 per square foot.
Please forward this memorandum to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their meeting on December 6th. Staff will be present at that
meeting to further discuss this matter.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the resolution supporting the Class 6b extension.
2. The discretion of the Village Board.

Re: Renewal of Class 6B Real Estate Tax Incentive
Property Address: 500 W. Corboy Rd., Mount Prospect, IL 60056
PIN: 08-23-401-012-0000
Petitioner: Owner: Eva Lischko, Trustee Lischko Trust/Tenant: Wireformers, Inc.
Dear Mr. William Cooney,
Please be advised that I am the attorney for Eva Lischko, individually, and as Trustee of
Lischko Trusts, as owner and General Counsel of Wireformers, Inc., Eva Lischko,
President, as tenant, all of on behalf of whom I am sending this letter requesting an
extension of the existing 613 R.E. Tax Incentive on the subject property referenced above..
I, on direction of my clients, do formally request a Municipal Resolution from the Village
of Mount Prospect which will expressly authorize and support the renewal of the 613 real
estate tax incentive on the subject property. It is my understanding that I must request
that the Village pass a resolution expressly stating that the "Village of Mount Prospect
supports and consents to this Class 613 Renewal and has determined that the
industrial/manufacturing use of the property is necessary and beneficial to the local
economy." and for any other assistance available from the Village in regards petitioning
the Cook County Assessor in to granting the continuance of the benefits of this incentive.
The continuing or renewal of the 613 incentive is required in order to maintain the
occupancy of the building, and the survival of Wireformers, Inc. as a viable business in
Mount Prospect and Cook County. If the incentive is not renewed, continuing occupancy
of the parcel by Wireformers, Inc. is unlikely, as the substantial increase in the R.E. Tax
burden which will occur will make the location unsustainable. Renewal of the 613
incentive will insure that Wireformers, Inc. a 40 -year-old family owned business founded
and continuously operated in Cook County will continue to employee approximately 15-
20 individuals, including the founder's children and his surviving spouse.
The renewal of the 613 incentive will insure that Wireformers, Inc. remains in the
building, and likely results in the tax levy and collected real estate taxes remain
consistent. The certainty of continuing with the 613 incentive property taxes will increase

Letter to William Cooney
Renewal of Class 613 Real Estate Tax Incentive
Property Address: 500 W. Corboy Rd., Mount Prospect, IL 60056
the likelihood of Wireformers survival, which will hopefully result in the Company's
expansion, with the possibility of future job growth. If the renewal is not granted, the
building is likely to become vacant in the near future. The vacant building without the
6B incentive is likely to result in in lower tax revenue, and result in a negative impact to
Mount Prospect and the community.
Wireformers is a family owned manufacturing company. The founder of Wireformers,
Inc., Louis Lischko passed away in 2014, followed quickly by the death of a key
employee and Vice President, his son in law Horst Lang. The remaining family members
and the widow of Mr. Lischko, Eva Lischko, have struggled with the transition required
due to these losses of family member, in addition to the macroeconomic struggles
confronting American Manufacturing in general. It is not certain that anyone other than a
founder or his heirs is likely to put this property to its highest and best use as a
manufacturing plant. Loss of Wireformers, and its employees, some of whom live in
Mount Prospect, and all of whom regularly contribute to the local economy by
frequenting other small businesses in Mount Prospect as part of their work week, is not
likely to be easily replaced.
Please inform at your earliest convenience as to whether there is any other information I
can provide in support of this request. I thank you in advance for your kind assistance,
and ask you to endeavor to prioritize the presentation of this request to the Village Board
for formal resolution as soon as possible. Please acknowledge receipt and inform if you
require anything else.
Sincere,
nt. Terenzio, as Attorney and Counsel for Eva Lischko & Wireformers, Inc.
