MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
APRIL 1, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-49-04 - PLAT OF RESUBDIVISION
7 N. MAIN STREET
TERESA LICARI - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-49-04, a request 0
consolidate two parcels and create a one-lot subdivision. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request
at their March 24, 2005 meeting. The Subject Property is located on the east side of Main Street (Route 83),
between Central Road and Henry Street. It consists of two vacant parcels located between two apartment
buildings. The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, reviewed the case. She said that the Village Attorney determined that the Subject
Property was created without the benefit of a subdivision and Village review. In addition, he determined that the
Village could not prevent the Applicant from seeking approval of the proposed Licari's Consolidation. However,
future development of the site must comply with all Village Codes. She said that it is important to note that the
item being reviewed is the plat and that the development of the site is a separate issue. Staff reviewed the
proposed plat and found that it had been prepared in accordance with the Village Code.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request and the possible consequences of
consolidating the site to a one-lot subdivision. Several Commissioners stated their concerns about developing the
site and how it would adversely impact the parking conditions for the existing apartment buildings.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Licari's
Consolidation with the acknowledgement by the Petitioner that approval of the plat does not constitute approval
for future development. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review
and consideration at their April 6, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this
matter.

Acting Chair Joseph Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Leo Floros moved to approve the minutes
of the February 24, 2005 meeting, but corrected to reflect Ronald Roberts voting against the sign Variation, and
seconded by Ronald Roberts. The motion was approved 3-0, with 2 abstentions by Marlys Haaland, new
member, and Matt Sledz. Under Old Business, Mr. Donnelly asked for a motion to continue PZ-50-04 to the
April 28, 2005 meeting. Matt Sledz moved to continue the case; seconded by Ronald Roberts, and it was
approved 5-0. Mr. Donnelley introduced Case No. PZ-49-04, a request to consolidate two parcels and create a
one-lot subdivision into one lot of record. He said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Judy ConTlolly, Senior Planner, summarized the request. She said that discussion on the Petitioner's project was
continued from the February Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. As you recall, the Petitioner is proposing
to consolidate two parcels, which were acquired through a county tax sale, to create a one-lot subdivision. The
parcels would be consolidated through the proposed Licari's Consolidation plat. The Village Attorney
determined that the Subject Property was created without the benefit of a subdivision and Village review. In
addition, he determined that the Village could not prevent the Petitioner from seeking approval of the proposed
Licari's Consolidation. However, future development of the site must comply with all Village Codes. It is
important to note that the item being reviewed is the plat that consolidates the parcels and creates a one-lot
subdivision. The redevelopment of the site is a separate issue. If the proposed development does not comply with
Village regulations or requires Conditional Use approval, the P& Z, and most likely Village Board, would review
the request and make a decision in response to the development.

Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for approving a subdivision and said they relate to the physical
development of a subdivision. The regulations provide requirements for the development of the block, and the
development of the lot. Staff reviewed the proposed plat and found that it had been prepared in accordance with
the Village Code.
In response to the discussion held at the February meeting, the Petitioner submitted a plat of survey. However,
Staff prepared an aerial photograph exhibit titled "Existing Conditions" to depict current conditions. In addition,
the color-coded page from the Sidwell book identifies the adjacent properties and the Subject Property. This
exhibit documents that the existing apartment buildings were built over the property lines. The 'hooks' indicate
common ownership, ánd a dashed line indicates a parcel line. The Village's Zoning Ordinance does not recognize
a parcel line the same as a lot line and current code regulations would require the Petitioner to consolidate the
parcels before the development could be approved. Also, the Staff exhibit titled "Address Verification"
documents that the address assigned to the Subject Property is '7 N. Main Street' although the Petitioner has
referred to it as 7 A N. Main Street.
Ms. Connolly summarized the request: the Petitioner is seeking approval of the Plat of Consolidation only,
however, during the original review of the request, the P&Z Commission raised questions regarding the 30'
easement that extends along the rear lot line of the subject property and the adjacent properties and how the
easement would affect future development with respect to parking. Per the P&Z Commissioner's request, the
Village Attorney prepared a memo clarifying that the parking easement would probably survive upon approval of
the Plat. In addition, he found that the title document submitted by the attorney for the adjacent property
demonstrated that there was limited right to park in the easement, but that it would survive the tax division and the
plat approval as well. The Village Attorney stated that whether the limitation on the parking rights are so
restrictive as to prevent the development would depend on the nature of the development and the extent to which
portions of the easement would be used for parking. He noted that is an issue to contend with when, if ever, a
development plan was submitted.
Therefore, Staff continues to recommend that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the plat for 7 N. Main
Street, Case No. PZ-49-04, because the plat meets Village Code requirements and future development of the site
is a separate issue to be reviewed when plans are submitted for review. However, as stated in the Village
Attorney's memo, the plat should be approved with the statement that the approval is for consolidation purposes
only and does not extend to any development approval of any kind and asks that the applicant acknowledge this
for the record. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Mr. Donnelley asked about current and past zoning for the property. Ms. Connolly said it had been Residential
and now was B5; Village records do not indicate that it was ever a Planned Unit Development. It was determined
that current code regulations would prohibit this same subdividing/development situation.
Teresa Licari, 4 Red Ridge Circle Drive, Barrington, IL, and her attorney, Bryan Mraz, 111 Irving Park Road,
Roselle, IL, were sworn in to testify. Mr. Mraz said he has recently become involved in this case, has read the
Village Attorney's letter and concurs with his opinion. There is an easement agreement across the rear of all the
properties for ingress and egress with a parking reservation that only runs to the subject property. Mr. Mraz said
that is the opinion of the Village Attorney and he concurs with that opinion. What may actually have happened in
practice and over time will need to be worked out amongst the other owners. Mr. Mraz agreed that the hearing's
purpose was to request a consolidation and the Petitioner should and would acknowledge that plat approval does
not extend to development of any kind. Mr. Donnelley asked if she understood she could not block ingress/egress
with parking; Ms. Licari said she did.
Mark Watychowicz, 301 S. WaPella, an attorney for 5 N. Main Street, was sworn in. He said he wanted to
remind the Commission that the Subdivision request is actually a request to build something at the location in the
future. The site was designed for three buildings and another building will cause chaos - to pitch a tent there will
cause a major problem. There are 36 existing units and 36 parking spaces and the present ordinance requires 2
Planning & Zoning Commission
Joseph Donnelley, Acting Chairperson
PZ-49-04
Page 3
spaces per unit. He said building a building there would cause an eyesore and prevent redevelopment of the
undesirable shopping center across the street from it. Anyone coming into town sees this eyesore. All the
overflow parking will fall into the downtown area, which is already overcrowded. He also questioned whether the
Petitioner had the proper standing to bring this request before the Board. Mr. Watychowicz said he had just
received a parking ticket last week and didn't think the Petitioner had the right to come from out-of-town to cause
these problems for him as a resident, taxpayer, father and downtown businessman. Mr. Watychowicz said his
client's needs are not being served because the property is being used for his tenants as parking spaces. His client
purchased his building in 1977 as is, with no additional parking. His client had no notice of any tax sales. He
said the Petitioner had time to study the property and realize what the problems were before getting involved with
it. Mr. Watychowicz said his client would be willing to purchase the property from the Petitioner but not at the
inflated price she wanted for it. He said his client had maintained the parking portion of the property for all those
years without remuneration.
Matt Sledz said he appreciates the comments about future development but hearing the opinion of the Village
Attorney, realizes that the Petitioner is entitled by right to consolidate the lots. Mr. Roberts agreed.
Mr. Floros said he feels approval of the consolidation would be construed as endorsement of future development
of the site; he sees no benefit to the Village.
Mr. Roberts said one possible benefit is that the neighbor might purchase the land and that would be beneficial to
the Village. He stated that the Petitioner has acknowledged she as no approval from the Village to develop the
property, which she must disclose to any buyer by law.
Matt Sledz made a motion to recommend approval of the Licari's Consolidation plat for the property at 7 North
Main Street, Case No. PZ-49-04, with the statement that approval of the plat does not constitute approval for
future development; Ronald Roberts seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Donnelly, Haaland, Roberts, and Sledz
NAYS: Floros
.
Motion was approved 4-1.
Ronald Roberts made motion to adjourn at 8:40 p.m., seconded by Leo Floros. The motion was approved by a
voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the January 27, 2005 meeting and Joe Donnelly seconded the motion to approve. The motion was
approved 6-0. Under Old Business, Ms. Juracek asked for a motion to continue PZ-50-04 to the March 24, 2005
meeting. Richard Rogers made such motion, seconded by Joe Donnelly, approved 6-0. Ms. Juracek introduced
Case No. PZ-49-04, a request to consolidate two parcels and create a one-lot subdivision into one lot of record.
She said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, summarized the request. The Subject Property is located on the east side of Main
Street, Route 83, between Central Road and Henry Street. It consists of two vacant parcels located between two
apartment buildings. The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial and is bordered to the north, west,
and south by the B5 district and by the RA Single Family Zoning District to the east. The Petitioner is proposing
to consolidate two parcels, which were acquired through a County tax sale, to create a one-lot subdivision. The
parcels would be consolidated through the proposed Licari's Consolidation plat. Plat approval includes Planning
& Zoning Commission review and a recommendation to the Village Board. The Village Board's decision is final
for the proposed plat.
Village records indicate that the area north of Central road and south of the single-family residences was rezoned
from R1 to R3 in 1960. The site was then rezoned from R3 to R4 ayear later and the original subdivision
indicates that the development consisted of 5 lots of record. The three existing apartment buildings were
Planning & Zoning Commission
Arlene J uracek, Chairperson
PZ-49-04
Page 2
constructed in the early 1960s. However, the building footprints did not match the lot lines. The Village later
rezoned the properties to B5 Central Commercial in the early 1990s.
Although the Petitioner did not submit a development plan, Staff had concerns regarding the proposed plat
because of the potential impacts of developing the site. Currently, there is not enough parking for the tenants and
developing an open area would intensify the situation. Each building has 12 units, creating a total of 36 units, and
each building has 12 assigned parking spaces. However, it appears that some vehicles parallel park along the east
lot line. The Village Attorney researched the title information and found that the Subject Property, the two
pa~cels the Petitioner is seeking to consolidate, was created through a tax division. A tax division is a petition
processed through the Cook County Assessor's Office whereby a property owner parcels off a portion of their
land for tax purposes. A separate tax bill and PIN# are created. In this case, the Village was first made aware of
this situation when the Petitioner contacted Village Staff to determine whether the property could be developed.
The Village Attorney determined that the Subject Property was created without the benefit of a subdivision and
Village review. In addition, he determined that the Village couldn't prevent the Applicant from seeking approval
of the proposed Licari's Consolidation. However, future development of the site must comply with all Village
Codes. The Petitioner could request relief, which would require going through the zoning process and obtaining
Village Board approval. Currently, the Subject Property is undeveloped, but it includes an ingress/egress
easement along the rear 30' of the property. The easement provides ingress/egress rights between the apartment
properties over the eastern 30' of each property. The Petitioner has not submitted development plans for Staff
review, but has indicated that the property would be sold to another party for redevelopment. The proposed
development would have to incorporate the easement requirements and comply with all Village regulations. The
Subject Property is zoned B5. The table in the Staff Report lists the bulk regulations for the B5 District.
It is important to note that the item being reviewed is the plat that consolidates the parcels and creates a one-Jot
subdivision. The development of the site is a separate issue. If the proposed development does not comply with
Village regulations or requires Conditional Use approval, the P& Z, and most likely Village Board, would review
the request and make a decision in response to the development. The Subdivision Ordinance includes standards
for approving a subdivision, which relate to the physical development of a subdivision. The regulations provide
requirements for the development of the block, length, width, etc. and the development of the lot, size, depth,
shape, etc. Staff reviewed the proposed plat and found that it had been prepared in accordance with the Village
Code. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend the Village Board
approve the plat for 7 N. Main Street, Case No. PZ-49-04. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Ms. Juracek asked if there were 5' utility easements on the north and south ends of the plat; Ms. Connolly replied
yes. Ms. Juracek asked if they could build up to the easements without providing setbacks. Ms. Connolly said
yes, but they would need to provide parking. She explained that in the B-5 district they would need Conditional
Use approval for a residential only development and would have to provide parking to ensure proper
development. Joe Donnelly asked if the existing parking spaces belong to the existing apartment buildings and
was told they did. Richard Rogers asked what was a permissible use for B-5. Ms. Connolly said retail on the first
floor and apartments above; the existing buildings are non-conforming.
Teresa Licari was sworn in and testified that she purchased the property at a Cook County Tax Sale and received a Tax
Deed approximately one year ago, placed a for sale sign on the property, and then there were signs placed on the rear of
the property that the parking area belongs to someone else. She said she is trying to create a one-lot subdivision to make
the property buildable. Mr. Donnelly asked what lots she wants to combine; she said she purchased a pin # that is
listed as a lot for tax purposes but not for building purposes.
Irene Chipinski, 5619 N. Campbell, Chicago, was sworn in and stated that her family owned the apartment
building just north of the Licari property, 9-11 North Main. She reported that there is currently a parking
shortage; they have 11 assigned parking spaces for 12 units, there is space for 4 non-assigned cars to park. There
have been recent problems with a residential neighbor to the north and have had to restrict parking on the north
side of the lot due to those complaints. She said she knows the other buildings have assigned parki ng spaces, but
Planning & Zoning Commission
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson
PZ-49-04
Page 3
also experience a parking shortage. There is a lot of traffic cutting through the lot trying to avoid the traffic lights.
She had come to the meeting tonight and waited two hours to speak to the Commission to make them aware of the
parking deficiency at this property.
Discussion ensued between the Board members and Ms. Connolly regarding the lack of parking spaces and the
future development of this site requiring more parking spaces in addition to displacing some of the existing
spaces. Ms. Chipinski reminded the group that the additional garbage dumpsters would also take up additional
parking spaces.
Mark Watychowicz, 301 S. WaPella, an attorney for 5 N. Main Street, was sworn in. He said he wanted to stress
that the reason for this request for Subdivision is actually a prelude for a request to build something at the
location. And to build anything, even to pitch a tent and add one more car to the area will cause a major problem.
There are three buildings, all built by the same builder. To build another building between those will cause an
eyesore - across the street from another eyesore - an undesirable existing shopping center in need of
redevelopment. Anyone entering or leaving the downtown area sees this eyesore. There are only half of the
parking spaces now required by Code for the present development; to add another building will more than double
the problem. All the overflow parking will fall into the downtown area, which is already overcrowded. He also
questioned whether the petitioner had the proper standing to bring this request before the Board. To that end, Mr.
Watychowicz gave his interpretation of his review of the file of the transcripts of the tax sale: He said, "The
petitioner visited the property and testified to the judge, under oath, that the property was not being used for any
purpose. But it should be clear to all here tonight that the property is being used for parking spaces. I believe if
the petitioner had properly advised the judge in the tax court that the property was being used for parking the
. judge would have required that notice be provided to all the people who would be affected by the tax sale, and
that would have included my client, and as a result my client's interest in the property hasn't been properly
adjudicated. So for that reason, I would petition that the Board either deny this request or, at the very least,
continue the case to allow my firm more time to further analyze the tax case and file any appropriate pleading
which would probably affect petitioner's ability to do anything with this land."
Ms. J uracek said she is having a difficult time understanding how the tax sale occurred since it appears it was a
portion of Mr. Watychowicz's client's property that was sold and how could that have happened without his
knowledge.
Mr. Watychowicz's said his client purchased property in I 977 from Mr. Carlson in this condition. He considered
buying this property but an attorney told him this property was unbuildable so he did not purchase it. The Village
attorney reviewed the case and apparently the property division was done as tax benefit by a previous purchaser.
His client has taken care of that property for the past 30 years, cut the grass, paved the area, re-paved, sealed, re-
sealed, all at his own expense. Ronald Roberts asked him if his client would have bought the property at the tax
sale. Mr. Watychowicz said he would have, but didn't know about the sale. Mr. Roberts asked if his client would
still be willing to buy the property. Mr. Watychowicz said absolutely, but not at the price being asked. Mr.
Rogers asked Ms. Licari if she would accept a lesser price at this time, given the condition of the property. Ms.
Licari returned to the podium and said she had sold the property twice but neither deal materialized because of
these problems. She went on to explain that her research had revealed that the Neri family had owned the Licari
property, along with Mr. Watychowicz's client, Michael Neri's, property since around 1960. Somewhere in the
19605, Edwina Neri divided the property in order to save taxes. Charlie Young then bought the property at a tax
sale but did nothing with it and it went back into a tax sale and was purchased by Ms. Licari. Edwina Neri
subsequently sold the original parcel to Michael Neri.
Ms. Licari explained that she noted in the tax sale that a 60x142 vacant site zoned B-5 was available. She
calculated 1.5 parking spaces for each 2-bedroom units and I parking space for each I-bedroom units would
require 17 spaces. The property has 337' along the property line and at 20' per car that would be enough space.
Ms: Licari said she did not commit any fraud in the tax transaction, the owner of the South building had proper
notice of the sale and whoever put up the parking sign put that up after she put up the for sale sign. She had taken
pictures at the end of lot line and presented those at the tax sale. She said they would have 50' of buildable space
Planning & Zoning Commission
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson
PZ-49-04
Page 4
so there should be 55 parking spaces according to her calculations. She also said one prospective buyer was
considering underground parking.
Ms. Juracek said the problem to consider today is does the petitioner have a legal right to consolidate. Ms.
Connolly said the Village Attorney reviewed it and said the property owner has the right to consolidate even if the
county didn't notify the Village. Ownership has been traced back to 1990, but Staff could not confirm who
transferred it for tax purposes and when. Ms. Licari said property can be traced online to 1985 and a title search
can trace it back to the 1800s. Ms. Chipinski asked whether it was possible the land was sold without the parking
area.
Ms. Juracek said more research needs to be done before they can make arecommendation to the Village Board
that would be fair to all parties involved. She asked that the Village Attorney clarify the limitations of the
recorded easement and clarify whether a formal parking agreement exists and how future parking requirements
would be regulated.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to continue the request to consolidate two parcels and create a one-lot
subdivision/one lot of record at 7 North Main Street, Case No. PZ-49-04. Richard Rogers seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
A YES: Donnelly, Floros, Roberts, Rogers, Youngquist and Juracek
NA YS: None
Motion was approved 6-0. Case was continued to the March 24, 2005 P&Z Meeting.
Joe Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at ] I :28 p.m., seconded by Richard Rogers. The motion was approved by
a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
MARCH 17, 2005
HEARING DATE:
MARCH 24, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-49-04 - RESUBDIVISION (CREATE I-LOT SUBDIVISION)
7 N. MAIN STREET (TERESA LICARI - APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
Discussion on the Petitioner's project was continued from the February Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
Per the P&Z's request, the Petitioner submitted the attached plat of survey. Also, the attorney for the adjacent
property owner has submitted title documents for the Subject Property for considend:ion. The Village Attorney is
reviewing the title documents and his memo will be distributed March 22, 2005 via e-mail or hand delivery. In
addition, the Village Attorney's memo will clarify whether the easement allows for parking rights for the adjacent
property owners. .
In response to the discussion at the February P&Z meeting, Staff prepared an aerial photograph exhibit titled
"Existing Conditions" to illustrate the current conditions. The exhibit titled "Addre~s Verification" documents
that the address assigned to the Subject Property is '7 N. Main Street' although the Petitioner has referred to it as
7 A N. Main Street; the PIN# is the same.
For your convenience, Staff has included a page from the Sidwell book that color-codes the adjacent properties
and the Subject Property. This exhibit documents that the existing apartment buildings were built over the
property lines. The 'hooks' indicate common ownership, and a dashed line indicates a parcel. As you can see,
several lots have been parceled off. Please note that the Village's Zoning Ordinance does not recognize a parcel
line the same as a lot line; current code regulations would require the Petitioner to consolidate the parcels before
the development could be approved. In addition, the original Staff Report has been included after this cover
memo.

TO:
MOIJNT PROSPECT PLAN'NING & ZONING COMMISSrON
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
FEBRUARY 17,2005
HEARING DATE:
FEBRUARY 24, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-49-04 - RESUBDIVISION (CREATE I-LOT SUBDrVISION)
7 N. MAIN STREET (TERESA UCARl - APPUCANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the February 24, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting :0
review the application by Teresa Licari (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 7 N. Main Street (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner has submitted a plat of Resubdivision to consolidate two parcels to create a
one-lot subdivision. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the February 9, 2005 edition of the Journal Topics
Newspaper. In addition, Staff has provided written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public
Hearing sign on the Subject Property. :,
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the east side of Main Street (Route 83), between Central Road and Hem;;
Street. It consists of two vacant parcels located between two apartment buildings. The Subject Property is zond
B5 Central Commercial and is bordered to the north, west, and south by the B5 district and by the RA Sing:e
Family Zoning District to the east. .
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner is proposing to consolidate two parcels, which were acquired through a County tax sale, to create :1
one-lot subdivision. The parcels would be consolidated through the proposed Licari's Consolidation plat. P!lt
approval includes Planning & Zoning Commission review and a recommendation to the Village Board. The
Village Board's decision is final for the proposed plat.
Background
Village records indicate that the area north of Central road and south of the single-family residences was rezoned
from R1 to R3 in 1960. The site was then rezoned from R3 to R4 a year-later and the original subdivision
indicates that the development consisted of 5 lots of record. The three existing apartment buildings were
constructed in the early 1960s. However, the building footprints did not match the lot lines. The Village later
rezoned the properties to B5 Central Commercial in the early 1990s.
Although the Petitioner did not submit a development plan, Staff had concerns regarding the proposed plat
because of the potential impacts of developing the site. Currently, there is not enough parking for the tenants and
PZ-49-04
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting February 24, 2005
Page 3
developing an open area would intensify the situation. Each building has 12 units, creating a total of 36 units, and
each building has 12 assigned parking spaces. However, it appears that some vehicles parallel park along the east
lot line.
The Village Attorney researched the title information and found that the Subject Property, the hvo parcels the
Petitioner is seeking to consolidate, was created through a tax division, A tax division is a petition processed
through the Cook County Assessor's Office whereby a property owner parcels off a portion of their land for tax
purposes. A separate tax bill and PIN# are created. In this case, the Village was first made aware of this situa::on
when the Petitioner contacted Village Staff to determine \vhether the property could be developed.
The Village Attorney determined that the Subject Property was created without the benefit of a subdivision and
Village review. In addition, he determined that the Village couldn't prevent the Applicant from setking appro\'al
of the proposed Licari's Consolidation. However, future development of the site must comply with all Village
Codes. The Petitioner could request relief, which would require going through the zoning process and obtaining
Village Board approval.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
Currently, the Subject Property is undeveloped, but it includes an ingress/egress easement along the rear 30' of
the property. The easement provides ingresslegress rights between the apartment properties over the eastern 30'
of each property. The Petitioner has not submitted development plans for Staff review, but has indicated that :he
property would be sold to another party for redevelopment. The proposed development would have to incorporate
the easement requirements and comply with all Village regulations.
The Subject Property is zoned B5.. The following table lists the bulk regulations for the B~ )?istrict:
B5 Central Commercial District
Minimum Requirements
SETBACKS:
Front No more than 30'
Interior No Requirement I
Rear Distance equal to the height of the building
BUILDING HEIGHT 30' mid-point of roof
DENSITY 16 units/acre (3 units in this case)
LOT COVERAGE No Requirement I
SUBDIVISION STAl"DARDS
It is important to note that the item being revie\ved is the plat that consolidates the parcels and creates a one-Iot
subdivision. The development of the site is a separate issue, If the proposed development does not comply \\ith
Village regulations or requires Conditional Use approval, the P& Z, and most likely Vil1age Board, would review
the request and make a decision in response to the development.
Sec. 15.305 of the Development Code lists the standards for a subdivision. The standards relate to the physical
development of a subdivision. It provides requirements for the development of the block (length, \.vidth, etc.) and
the development of the lot (size, depth, shape, etc,). Staff reviewed the proposed plat and found that it had been
prepared in accordance with the Village Code.

RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Licari's Consolidation plat has been prepared in accordance with Village Codes. Staff recommends
that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend the Village Board approve the plat for 7 N. Main Street,
Case No. PZ-49-04. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
APRIL 1,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-07-05 - MAP AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE, VARIATIONS
2410 RAND ROAD (TACO BELL)
THE TWINS GROUP - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-07-05, a request to
redevelop the Subject Property and construct a new Taco Bell restaurant. The Planning & Zoning Commission
heard the request at their March 24, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is comprised of two parcels and has an irregular shape. It is located on the north side of
Rand Road, between Camp McDonald and Schoenbeck Roads. The existing setbacks and site improvements do
not meet current Village regulations. The Petitioner is seeking approval to 1) rezone the Subject Property from
RX Single Family to B3 Community Shopping, 2) Conditional Use approval for a drive-thru restaurant, and 3)
Variations for setbacks, parking, and stacking spaces.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, reviewed the case. She said that the scope of the proposal exceeds the limits of
the legal non-conforming regulations and the redevelopment of the site is required to meet current zoning
regulations. The Subject Property is adjacent to existing commercial and retail businesses and the proposed Taco
Bell with a drive-thru is the same as the existing use. However, the new building, parking lot, and additional
landscaping would be in keeping with current development trends and would enhance the appearance of the
Subject Property. In addition, the proposed site improvements, subject to modifying the entrance driveway,
would improve the character of the area.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's project. Several members stated that the request
would improve the site and that the requested Variations would have minimal impact. The Petitioner agreed to
the conditions listed in the Staff Report and said he would investigate alternative materials to the proposed EIFS.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Petitioner's
request subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Report. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to
the Village Board for their review and consideration at their April 6, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to
answer any questions related to this matter.

Acting Chair Joseph Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Leo Floros moved to approve the minutes
of the February 24, 2005 meeting, but corrected to reflect Ronald Roberts voting against the sign Variation;
seconded by Ronald Roberts. The motion was approved 3-0, with 2 abstentions by Marlys Haaland, new
member, and Matt Sledz. Under Old Business, Mr. Donnelly asked for a motion to continue PZ-50-04 to the
April 28, 2005 meeting. Matt Sledz moved to continue the case; seconded by Ronald Roberts, and it was
approved 5-0. After consideration of another case, Mr. Donnelly introduced Case No. PZ-07-05, a request for a
Map Amendment to rezone from RX to B3, Conditional Use approval for a drive-thru restaurant and Variations
from bulk, setback, and stacking regulations. He said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, summarized the request. She said that the Subject Property is comprised of two
parcels and has an irregular shape. It is located on the north side of Rand Road, between Camp McDonald and
Schoenbeck Roads. The site currently contains a Taco Bell restaurant with a drive-thru that was developed under
Cook County regulations. Consequently, the existing setbacks and site improvements do not meet current Village
regulations. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family and is bordered to the north, east, and west and by
RX Single Family and a golf course to the south, but that is in Arlington Heights. The Subject Property and
surrounding properties were already developed as commercial and retail uses when the Village of Mount Prospect
annexed them in 1999. As required by state statute, the properties were given the Village's most stringent zoning
designation, RX Single Family, upon annexation.
Planning & Zoning Commission
Joseph Donnelley, Acting Chairperson

The Petitioner proposes to demolish the existing Taco Bell and drive-thru and build a new Taco Bell restaurant
and drive-thru. The Zoning Ordinance allows legal non-conforming structures to remain in their current state, and
to be maintained and repaired as necessary. However, the scope of the proposal exceeds the limits of the legal
non-conforming regulations and the redevelopment of the site is required to meet current zoning regulations.
Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking approval to rezone the property from RX Single Family to B3 Community
Shopping, Conditional Use approval for the drive-thru restaurant, and Variations from zoning regulations. The
Variations include relief from: the parking lot and dumpster setbacks, and relief from the number of required
parking and stacking spaces.
The Petitioner's exhibits include a color rendering of Taco Bell's prototypical building. However, the Petitioner
revised the elevations to comply with the Village's Building Code regulations that limit the use of Dryvit to no
more than 30% of the building's square footage. The building would have a stone band around the base of the
building, and then approximately 12' of buff co lored face brick, topped off with a 3' 8" EIFS band. EIFS would
be used as a decorative element for the drive-thru area and two entrance points. A 'tower' canopy would extend
above the roofline to delineate the main entrance of the building and would be in keeping with the Taco Bell
image.
The Petitioner's landscape plan includes a variety of plants, trees, and shrubs throughout the site. However, the
plan does not include a sufficient amount of species that have year-round interest. Staff recommends modifying
the plan to require at least 50% species that have year-round interest along the Rand Road frontage. In addition,
Staff suggests the Petitioner explore whether the detention area could include native grasses, subject to
engineering division approval so it does not adversely impact the detention design.
The site currently has two driveways, which the Petitioner proposes to modify slightly. In response to comments
from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Petitioner proposes that the northern driveway be the
only exit point and have a dedicated right-turn lane and a dedicated left-turn lane from the site. The southern
driveway would be an entrance only driveway. The Engineering Division reviewed the proposal and found that
narrowing the driveway to 15' and having a 20-25' turning radius would better identify the driveway as an
entrance only and minimize confusion and potential vehicle conflicts.
The Petitioner's proposal includes 23 parking spaces and 7 stacking spaces for the 47-seat Taco Bell Restaurant.
Typically, 4-6 employees work per shift, but 6-8 employees would work during a peak shift. The Zoning
Ordinance requires I parking space per 3 seats and 1 parking space per employee during a peak shift as well as 8
stacking spaces for the drive-thru. Therefore, the Petitioner requires Variations to allow one less stacking space
and one less parking space. The Petitioner states in their application that the proposed traffic pattern is similar to
the existing patterns customers currently use and the shape of the Subject Property poses physical limitations.
In response to earlier Staff comments, the Petitioner has agreed to modify the freestanding sign to a monument
style sign and is not seeking relief from Sign Code regulations. The Petitioner proposes to install wall signs on
three elevations of the building, which is permitted by the Sign Code. The 'tower' canopy over the primary
entrance on Rand Road complies with the 30' height limitation and the bell meets the criteria for a logo.
Therefore, these elements of the proposal comply with Village Sign Code regulations.
The Petitioner's lighting plan indicates the lighting levels will slightly exceed the Zoning Ordinance regulations
that limit light levels to an average of 2A-foot candles. In addition, some areas of lights at the property line
exceed the 0.5fc limitation. The Petitioner has not requested a Variation from the Village's lighting regulations
and has not provided justification for a Variation. Therefore, the lighting plan must be revised to comply with
Village Code requirements.
Other departments reviewed the project and comments from the Village's Traffic Engineer were already
discussed, However, the Fire Department and Public Works Department had comments, but their comments
could be addressed as part of the Building Permit process. Their comments are listed in detail in the Staff Report.

The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family. In order to construct the proposed restaurant, the site has to be
rezoned, obtain Conditional Use approval, and obtain Variations from Zoning Regulations. This requires a public
hearing and recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission followed by final review and action by the
Village Board.
The existing site conditions do not comply with current Village zoning regulations because the parking lot
encroaches into the required setbacks. The existing parking lot is pretty much built up to the lot line. However,
the Petitioner would demolish the existing building and construct a new parking lot. The proposed building
would meet all setbacks, but the parking lot and dumpster would encroach into the required 10' perimeter
landscape setback. The Petitioner requires relief for a portion of the front setback, the interior side yard setbacks,
and the rear setbacks because the parking lot and dumpster enclosure would encroach into the required 10'
setback.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for Map Amendments, as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She said that
the subject property is adjacent to existing commercial and retail businesses. The proposed Taco Bell with a
drive-thru is the same as the existing use. However, the new building, parking lot, and additional landscaping
would be in keeping with current development trends and would be an appropriate use for the Subject Property.
Also, rezoning the property to B3 would be consistent with recently approved developments approved in the
Village, specifically the Metro Federal Credit Union. The proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment
because it is compatible with existing properties within the general area of the Subject Property.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for conditional uses, which are listed in another section of the Zoning
Code, and said that the Petitioner proposes to construct a restaurant with a drive-thru, which is the same as the
current use. The proposed conditional use, which is the drive-thru component of the restaurant, was designed to
go together with the proposed site improvements and to create a safe interior circulation pattern. The proposal
meets the standards for a Conditional Use subject to minor modifications to the site plan and landscape plan.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for a Variation. She said that the Petitioner is proposing to construct a
fast food restaurant with a drive-thru. The redevelopment of the site would improve a property originally
developed under Cook County regulations and currently exceeds Mount Prospect Code requirements. However,
the parking lot and dumpster enclosure would encroach into the 10' landscape setback. The Petitioner has worked
with Staff to minimize the scope and location of the encroachments to ensure the Rand Road frontage is vastly
improved and to create a safe interior circulation pattern.
The Petitioner's request for Variations for I stacking space and I parking space during peak shift hours is in
keeping with the current site conditions. Modifying the driveway to address Engineering's comments regarding
the entrance only driveway would ensure a safe traffic flow and minimize the impact of the stacking deficiency.
The size and shape of the Subject Property present physical limitations for redeveloping the site. The proposed
site plan, subject to modifying the entrance driveway, would improve the character of the area and be in keeping
with the Village's Corridor Design Guidelines that call for increased landscaping.
Based on this analysis, the proposal complies with the Map Amendment, Conditional Use, and Variation
standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend that Village Board approve the proposed request subject to the following conditions:
1) Development of the site in accordance with:
. The site plan prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March II, 2005 revised to reflect a
narrowed entrance driveway to 15' and having a 20-25' turning radius;
. The landscape plan prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March 11, 2005 revised so
the Rand Road frontage has at least 50% year-round interest species;
. The lighting plan prepared by John Bujake, Accuserv Lighting & Equipment, but revised to comply
with the Village's lighting regulations;
Planning & Zoning Commission

Page 4
.
The elevations prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March 11, 2005 that document the
building will not exceed the Village's 30% EIFS limitation.
2) The proposed improvements shall be constructed according to all applicable Village Codes (Sign Code,
Site Construction Standards, Building and Fire Code regulations);
3) Prior to obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner shall prepare a plat of resubdivision that
consolidates the site to a one-lot subdivision; and
4) The Petitioner shall obtain permits from all appropriate agencies, including, but not limited to, mOT, and
MWRD. .
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Ronald Roberts asked if graphics of the existing restaurant were available; Ms. Connolly said no. He also asked if
the monument style sign were replacing a freestanding sign. Ms. Connolly said it was and he said he thought that
was a good improvement.
Joe Donnelley asked if Taco Bell was applying for Sign Variations. Ms. Connolly said no, but if they needed
relief they would need to go before the P&Z at a later date. Mr. Floros asked if Taco Bell had an Arlington
Heights address. Ms. Connolly said yes, although it is in Mount Prospect.
When asked about setbacks, Ms. Connolly said most of the existing parking lot was at a zero setback and the front
building setback was between 20'-30'. Mr. Sledz asked if there would be less impervious surface on the property
than before. Ms. Connolly said yes, the current lot coverage is approximately 86% and the Petitioner proposes to
reduce it to 72% although the Zoning Ordinance allows up to 75% lot coverage.
Gene Guzzardi, Source Architects, 121 S. Wilke Road in Arlington Heights, was sworn in. He said that Taco Bell
is increasing the amount of pervious area. He noted the wheel stops are currently right against the property line.
The existing building is beige with clay tile roofs, which are being phased out. Contractually, The Twins Group
must replace the building by agreement with Taco Bell. He said the existing traffic pattern area for the property is
V-shaped. The entrance is being revised and has been sent to IDOT and will be sent back to Mount Prospect for
plan review. Parking spaces will be similar to what is thereat present. He informed the Commission that
deliveries and trash pick-ups are scheduled at night so they will not conflict with business traffic. The front
grassy area is being proposed as part of detention area. They will use a menu board with speaker post for food
ordering.
Joe Donnelley asked if the menu board with speaker post proposal would be brought to the Commission for
further review. Ms. Connolly said Staff would need to review the proposal to determine if it would comply with
the Sign Code.
Ronald Roberts inquired what type of property was behind the restaurant. Ms. Connolly said it was commercial.
Mr. Roberts asked for further description of the monument sign and Mr. Guzzardi said it would have a large stone
base similar to the stone used in the building.
Joe Donnelley asked if they were asking for Variations for menu boards at this time and Mr. Guzzardi said that
the drive-thru was at such a bare minimum that they do not have room for a preview menu board.
Mr. Sledz asked has there been a net change in parking. Mr. Guzzardi said he didn't believe there will be. They
were trying to maximize the amount of parking they could get at the site to function properly and fit in the
guidelines proposed by Staff. Mr. Sledz asked if any thought had been given to underground detention. Mr.
Guzzardi said there will most likely need to be underground detention based on the calculations in the process

right now. Mr. Sledz said the photometrics submitted are slightly above Village requirements and asked whether
it would be a problem complying with Village requirements. Mr. Guzzardi said no. Mr. Sledz said that delivery
and garbage trucks would service the facility at night but many Taco Bell Restaurants are currently 24 hour and
do not close. He asked what would happen if this restaurant goes 24 hours? Mr. Sledz asked Ms. Connolly if the
Commission should entertain restrictions in the vote of Taco Bell hours. Ms. Connolly said the P&Z could
include that with the motion. Mr. Guzzardi said they would schedule deliveries and garbage service around the
restaurant's hours so there wouldn't be a conflict.
Chair Joe Donnelley closed the hearing at 8:35.
Matt Sledz said this was a nice project, he could recognize the site did have its problems and was pleased to see
The Twins Group was working to comply with Village Code. Mr. Flores said the Variations requested were
minor and he strongly supported the project. Mr. Roberts agreed and said the monument sign would be more
appropriate than the freestanding. Mr. Donnelley said more pervious coverage would be an improvement and
asked what material the building trim would be. When told it was EIFS, he asked if they could use a different
material. Mr. Guzzardi said he would investigate to see if they could use another material. Mr. Sledz said that the
Building Code allows a limited amount of EIFS and that the Village should ban EIFS altogether if they do not
want it used, but not base each case on approval of not using it. Other Commissioners asked if it had been
decided to ban EIFS entirely. Ms. Connolly said no, that the Building Code limits its use to 30%.
Leo Floros moved to recommend approval of a Map Amendment to rezone from RX to B3, Conditional Use
approval for a drive-thru restaurant and Variations from bulk, setback, and stacking regulations subject to the
Conditions listed in the Staff Report for the property at 2410 E. Rand Road, Case No. PZ-07-05. Ronald Roberts
seconded the motion.

PZ-07-05 - MAP AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE & VARIATIONS
2410 E. RAND ROAD (EXISTING TACO BELL RESTAURANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the March 24, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by The Twins Group (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 2410 E. Rand Road (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested a Map Amendment, Conditional Use approval, and Variations
from zoning regulations to allow the development of a new restaurant with a drive-thru. The P&Z hearing was
properly noticed in the March 9, 2005 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed
the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject
Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is comprised of two parcels and has an irregular shape. It is located on the north side of
Rand Road, between Camp McDonald and Schoenbeck Roads. The site contains a Taco Bell restaurant with a
drive-thru that was developed under Cook County regulations. Consequently, the existing setbacks and site
improvements do not meet current Village regulations. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family and is
bordered to the north, east, and west and by RX Single Family, and a golf course to the south (Arlington Heights).
The Subject Property and surrounding properties were already developed as commercial and retail uses when the
Village of Mount Prospect annexed them in 1999. As required by State statute, the properties were given the
Village's most stringent zoning designation, RX Single Family, upon annexation.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to demolish the existing Taco Bell and drive-thru and build a new Taco Bell restaurant
and drive-thru. The Zoning Ordinance allows legal conforming structures to remain in their current state, and to
be maintained and repaired as necessary (Sec. 14.402.B). However, the scope of the proposal exceeds the limits
of the legal non-conforming regulations and the redevelopment of the site is required to meet current zoning
regulations. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking approval to rezone the property from RX Single Family to B3
Community Shopping, Conditional Use approval for the drive-thru restaurant, and Variations from zoning
regulations. The Variations will be discussed in detail later in this report, but include relief from: a) the parking
lot and dumpster setbacks, and b) relief from the number of required parking and stacking spaces. The following
is a brief summary of the various development elements:
Buildinf! Desif!n: The Petitioner's exhibits include a color rending of Taco Bell's prototypical building,
However, the Petitioner revised the elevations to comply with the Village's Building Code regulations that limit
the use of dryvit to no more than 30% of the building square footage. The enclosed line drawings (Sheet A4 and
A4.1) indicate the proposed building elevations would comply with the Village Code. The building would have a

stone band around the base of the building, then approximately 12' of face brick (Buff colored), topped off with a
3'8" EIFS band (parapet band paint pattern). EIFS would be used as a decorative element for the drive-thru area
and two entrance points. A 'tower' canopy would extend above the roofline to delineate the main entrance of the
building (south elevation) and would be in keeping with the Taco Bell îmage.
Landscape Plan: The Petitioner's landscape plan încludes a variety of plants, trees, and shrubs throughout the
site. However, the plan does not include a sufficient amount of species that have year-round interest. Staff
recommends modifying the plan to require at least 50% species that have year-round interest along the Rand Road
frontage. In addition, Staff suggests the Petitioner explore whether the detention area could include native
grasses, subject to engineering approval.
Site Access and Parkin!!: The site currently has two driveways, which the Petitioner proposes to modify slightly.
In response to comments from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Petitioner proposes that the
northern driveway be the only exit point and have a dedicated right-turn lane and a dedicated left-turn lane from
the site. The southern driveway would be an entrance only driveway. The Engineering Division reviewed the
proposal and found that narrowing the driveway to 15' and having a 20-25' turning radius would better identify
the driveway as an entrance only and minimize confusion and potential vehicle conflicts.
The Petitioner's proposal includes 23 parking spaces and 7 stacking spaces for the 47-seat Taco Bell Restaurant.
Typically, 4-6 employees work per shift, but 6-8 employees would work during a peak shift. The Zoning
. Qr"dinance requires I parking space per 3 seats and 1 parking space per employee during a peak shift as well as 8
štacking spaces for the drive-thru. Therefore, the Petitioner requires Variations to allow one less stacking space
arid one less parking space. The Petitioner states in the attached application that the proposed traffic pattern is
similar to the existing patterns customers currently use and the shape of the Subject Property poses physical
limitations.
Si£Útaf!e: In response to earlier Staff comments, the Petitioner has agreed to modify the freestanding sign to a
monument style sign and is not seeking relief ITom Sign Code regulations. The Petitioner proposes to install wall
signs Qn three elevations of the building, which is permitted by the Sign Code. The 'tower' canopy over the
primary entrance on Rand Road complies with the 30' height limitation and the bell meets the criteria for a logo.
Therefore, these elements of the proposal comply with Village Sign Code regulations.
Lif!lttin!! Plan: The Petitioner's lighting plan indicates the lighting levels will slightly exceed the Zoning Ordinance
regulations that limit light levels to an average of2.4-foot candles (Sec. 14.22l9). In addition, some areas oflights at the
property line exceed the O.5fc limitation. The Petitioner has not requested a Variation from the Village's lighting
regulations and has not provided justification for a Variation. Therefore, the lighting plan must be revised to comply
\\ ith Village Code requirements.

The stormwater detention calculations shown on Sheet I of 1 seem to indicate that the lot will be only
14% impervious. (0.08 ac impervious out of 0.55 total ac). This should be verified/corrected. In
addition, the restrictor detail, high water level, . volume provided calculations, etc. will have to be
provided.
.
Section I5.S02.B.3 requires that public sidewalk be installed in the Rand Road right of way adjacent
to the site.
.
Stop signs will have to be provided at the stop bars on the driveways.
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family. In order to construct the proposed restaurant, the site has to be
rezoned, obtain Conditional Use approval, and obtain Variations from Zoning Regulations. This requires a public
hearing and recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission followed by final review and action by the
Village Board. .
~.
GENERÂL ZONING COMPLIANCE
">, "The existing site. conditions do not comply with current Village zoning regulations because the parking lot
.',. .
'encroaches into the required setbacks. The parking lot is primarily built up to the lot line. However, the
Petitioner would demolish the existing building and construct a new parking lot. The proposed building would
meet all setbacks, but the parking lot and dumpster would encroach into the required 10' perimeter landscape
setback. The following table compares the Petitioner's proposal to the required landscape setback.

REQUIRED FINDINGS
MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS
The standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a
Map 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:
.
The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
> '" "-'»-ç-~...".<.c_»,>'.'.~,,",~~.-~,.>o,,
PZ-07 -05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting March 24, 2005
Page 5
.
The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
.
.
Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
The Subject Property is adjacent to existing commercial and retail businesses. The proposed Taco Bell with a
drive-thru is the same as the existing use. However, the new building, parking lot, and additional landscaping
would be in keeping with current development trends and would be an appropriate use for the Subject Property.
Also, rezoning the property to B3 would be consistent with recently approved developments approved in the
Village (Metro Federal Credit Union). The proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is
compatible with existing properties within the general area of the Subject Property.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.7 of the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section
contains seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. These standards relate
to:
.
The conditional use will not have> a detrimental effect on the public health, safety, morals, comfort
or general welfare;
The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
Adequate provision of utilities and drainage and design of access and egress to mInImIZe
congestion on Village streets; and
Compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code,
- and other Village Ordinances.
.
.
.
The Petitioner proposes to construct a restaurant with a drive-thru, which is the same as the current use. The
proposed conditional use (drive-thru) was designed to reflect the proposed site improvements and would create a
safe interior circulation pattern. The proposal meets the standards for a Conditional Use subject to minor
modifications to the site plan and landscape plan.
VARIATION STANDARDS
The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these
findings:
.
A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
.
.
Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
The Petitioner is proposing to construct a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru. The redevelopment of the site
would improve a property originally developed under Cook County regulations and currently exceeds Mount
Prospect Code requirements. However, the parking lot and dumpster would encroach into the 10' landscape
,,-,-- '.,._,'",
PZ-07-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting March
Page 6
setback. The Petitioner has worked with Staff to minimize the scope and location of the encroachments to ensure
the Rand Road frontage is vastly improved and to have a safe site circulation.
The Petitioner's request for Variations for 1 stacking space and 1 parking space during peak shift hours is in
keeping with the current site conditions. Modifying the driveway to address Engineering's comments regarding
the entrance only driveway would ensure a safe traffic flow and minimize the impact of the stacking deficiency.
The size and shape of the Subject Property present physical limitations for redeveloping the site. The proposed
site plan, subject to modifying the entrance driveway, would improve the character of the area and be in keeping
with the Village's Corridor Design Guidelines that call for increased landscaping.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, the proposed request complies with the Map Amendment, Conditional Use, and
Variation standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends that the Planning
and Zoning Commission recommend that Village Board approve the proposed request subject to the following
conditions:
1) Development of the site in accordance with:
. The site plan prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March 11, 2005 revised to reflect a
narrowed entrance driveway to 15' and having a 20-25' turning radius;
. The landscape plan prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March 11, 2005 revised so
the Rand Road frontage has at least 50% year-round interest species;
. The lighting plan prepared by John Bujake, Accuserv Lighting & Equipment, but revised to comply
with the Village's lighting regulations (Sec. 14.22l9);
. The elevations prepared by Ronald Source Architects date stamped March ll, 2005 that document the
'"
building will not exceed the Village's 30% EIFS limitation.
2) The proposed improvements shall be constructed according to all applicable Village Codes (Sign Code,
,Site Construction Standards, Building and Fire Code regulations);
3) Prior to obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner shall prepare a plat of resubdivision that
consolidates the site to a one-lot subdivision; and
4) The Petitioner shall obtain permits from all appropriate agencies, including, but not limited to, mOT, and
MWRD.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Re:
Taco Bell Restaurant
2410 E. Rand Road
Mt. Prospect, IL
To Whom It May Concern:
Ro.nald P. Sorce Architects is seeking conditional use approval, variation request and
map amendment for the above referenced project.
f.
.,",
The Twins Group, a franchisee of Yum! Brands, owns this location. Yum! Brands
requires the franchisee to build new facilities when their franchise agreement
matures.
A 25-year-old Taco Bell building is currently on the site. The new building will keep
the same orientation and face Rand Road.
Parking is located adjacent to the east and west sides of the building. Stacking is
available for seven (7) cars in the drive-thru lane. A bypass lane is also provided.
These traffic patterns are similar to the existing patterns customers are currently
familiar with.
We are seeking variances to the parking set backs for the side and rear yards. We
worked closely with staff to develop a site plan that provides similar traffic pattern
flows that would adhere to most of the set back requirements. The side and rear
yards that encroach on the set backs will be significantly landscaped and screened
to minimize the encroachment. We will continue to work with your Community
Development staff to develop the final landscape plan in order to address these
areas to the staffs' satisfaction.
The proposed new building has the same function as the existing facility. We feel
that this request is not detrimental to, nor a danger to, public health and welfare and
will not hinder the enjoyment of the adjacent properties. This request does not
impede the development and improvement of the surrounding properties, as this is
an established restaurant site.

The new facility will have adequate utilities, access, drainage, etc., by utilizing
existing services or providing new where required. The proposed ingress and egress
minimizes traffic congestion and is similar to existing.
The proposed use- for this site is not contrary to the current comprehensive site plan
for the Village and will conform to the regulations of the district except for those
regulations pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
We are requesting a map amendment from T-X zoning to 83 zoning. Please contact
me with any questions or comments you may have.

A new hydrant was shown near the southwest corner of the property. We will
confirm the spacing with the Development Code and include in our permit submittal.
It is my understanding that this building will be equipped with sprinklers. The
system will be design/build by the general contractor. Appropriate plans and
calculations will be submitted to the Building and Fire Department for approval..~-~",- ---"

2.
The size of the parking spaces along the southeast side of the building have been
corrected. Please refer to Sheet AO.
The limited physical size of the site and Taco Bell operations (the amount of time
anticipated to serve a drive-thru customer) predicated the seven (7) car stack. This
prototype typically has two drive-up windows, 1 pay and 1 pickup. The pay
window was eliminated to streamline the time patrons are in the drive thru lane.
To Be Addressed Prior To Issuing A Building Permit:
.
The sanitary service exists on the site. As required, we will have the sanitary line "
televised to insure its use.
.
Storm water calculation will be review and any corrections included with the
set. All details, high water level, calculations, etc., will be included in the permit

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
lab. ~~
~I (..Io~
FROM:
ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE:
MARCH 10,2005
REVISIONS TO FLEXIBLE COMPENSATION PLAN
SUBJECT:
The Village has had a flexible compensation (flex camp) plan in place since 1985 that
allows employees to redirect compensation to pay for out of pocket medical/dental
expenses or dependent care expenses on a tax exempt basis. It is not uncommon for
employees to set aside several thousand dollars during the year for deductible expenses of
dependents so the funds are readily available for such expenses without putting a burden
on the employee to cover the expense on a short-term basis. Employees must submit
written documentation of any expenses incurred for monthly reimbursement.
The flex comp plan needs to be revised to comply with tax law regulation changes and
general clarification of the plan for improved administration. Two modifications to the plan
relate to regulation changes in the definition of "dependent" and privacy information as part
of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).The modification of the term
"dependent" would now coincide with the definition of "dependent" as stipulated by the IRS.
The privacy regulations are mandated by HIPAA and have been phased in over time to
various plans depending on the size of the plan assets. While the HIPAA regulations are
retroactive back to April 14, 2004, the Village had a year to come into compliance with the
regulations. The other modification is the need to clarify the "eligible medical and dental
expenses" so health club expenses or exercise equipment is excluded from the list of
expenses that could be reimbursed through the plan. Previously the definition language that
had been utilized directly from the IRS could be interpreted to allow for the purchase of
such items and it was determined that such an option is not a legitimate use of flex comp
funds.
The attached resolution is intended to modify the plan as described above. A copy of the
red-line version of the plan document is also available for review, if desired. Staff is
recommending approval of the Resolution to modify the Village Flex Camp Plan.

VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
FLEXIBLE COMPENSATION PLAN AMENDMENTS
APRIL, 2005
At a meeting held on the 6th day of April, 2005, at which a quorum was present, the Board
of the Village of Mount Prospect (the "Board") adopted the following amendments to the Flexible
Compensation Plan:
RECITALS
1.
The Village of Mount Prospect (the "Village") has established, and maintains, the Village
of Mount Prospect Flexible Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
2.
The Plan defines the term "Dependent" by reference to section 152 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code").
The Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004 (the "WFTRA") modified the definition of
the term "dependent" under Code section 152 (and related statutory provisions) effective
January 1, 2005.
3.
4.
The Village must amend the Plan to reflect the modifications made to the definition of
"dependent" under the WFTRA.
5.
In addition, the Village's Business Office is concerned that employees are using
amounts set aside in their Health Reimbursement Accounts under the Plan to purchase
exercise equipment and health club memberships by obtaining physician prescriptions
that may, or may not, be legitimate.
6.
The application of Health Reimbursement Account balances to expenses that are not
legitimate medical expenses could jeopardize the tax status of the Plan.
7.
To minimize the risk the Plan's tax status could be jeopardized by the improper
reimbursement of expenses associated with exercise equipment, health club
memberships, or equipment or services simply intended to promote general health, the
Board has determined it is in the Village's best interest to amend the Plan to exclude
coverage of those items.
8.
The Health Insurance Portability and Account Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and the regulations
under HIPAA require that the Plan limit the use and disclosure of protected health
information ("PHI") and protect the confidentiality of PHI in the Plan's possession.
The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Village to amend the Plan
to clarify the application of HIPAA to the Plan.

adjudication of health benefit claims (including
appeals and other payment disputes); and
billing, collection activities and related health care
data processing.
.
.
Use and Disclosure of PHI As Permitted by Authorization
of the Participant or Beneficiary. With an authorization, the

fitness for duty examinations, 2) requests for leave under
the federal or state Family and Medical Leave Act, 3) short
term disability claims, 4) long term disability claims,
5) workers' compensation claims, and 6) requests for
accommodations under the Americans with Disability Act. .
(c)
Permitted Disclosures to Employer. The HRA Plan will
disclose PHI to the Employer only upon receipt of a
certification from the Employer that the plan documents
have been amended to incorporate the following provisions
and the Employer agrees to the following. The Employer
shall:
.
Not use or further disclose PHI other than as
permitted or required by the HRA Plan document or

Ensure that any agents, including a subcontractor,
to whom the Employer provides PHI received from
the HRA Plan agree to the same restrictions and
conditions that apply to the Employer with respect
to such PHI;

actions and decisions unless authorized by an
individual;

compliance with HIPAA; and
If feasible, return or destroy all PHI received from
the HRA Plan that the Employer still maintains in
any form, and retain no copies of such PHI when
no longer needed for the purpose for which
disclosure was made (or if return or destruction is
not feasible, limit further uses and disclosures to
those purposes that make the return or destruction
infeasible).
.
.
.
.
.
Separation Between HRA Plan and Employer. In
accordance with HIPAA, only the following employees or
classes of employees may be given access to PHI:
.
The Human Resources Director;
The Village Manager;
The Assistant Village Manager;
The Payroll and Accounts Payable Clerk; and
Staff designated by the Human Resources Director.
.
.
.
.
Limitations of PHI Access and Disclosure. The persons
described above may only have access to and use and

sanctions.

ARTICLE II
PARTICIPA TION
Conditions of Participation. An Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan as
of the date he or she satisfies the eligibility requirements of the Employer's group health
plan. An Employee need not participate in the Employer's health plan to participate in
this Plan.
The foregoing notwithstanding, any Employee who is a "part-time" Employee shall not
be eligible to participate in the Plan. A "part-time" Employee is any Employee who is
designated as a part-time Employee pursuant to the Employer's employment policy.
Termination of Participation. Except as provided in Article VI, an Employee shall cease
to be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the date the Employee terminates
employment with the Employer or becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan pursuant
to Section 2.1 above (i.e., becomes a part-time Employee). For purposes of this Section,
a Participant on FMLA Leave shall be deemed an Employee eligible for participation in
this Plan until the earlier of:
The end of the FMLA Leave; or
The date the Participant gives notice to the Employer of an intent not to return to
active employment.
A Participant absent from employment due to a period of service with the Unifonned
Services shall be deemed an Employee eligible for participation in this Plan until the
Participant is absent from employment of at least thirty hours per week for more than
thirty-one days due to such period of duty.
If the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that an Employee has filed, or
assisted in the filing of, a dishonest or fraudulent claim for benefits under a Health
Reimbursement Account or a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account, the Employee's
participation in the Health Reimbursement Account and the Dependent Care
Reimbursement Account features of the Plan shall terminate immediately. In addition,
that Employee will not be eligible to participate in either the Health Reimbursement
Account feature of the Plan or the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account feature of
the Plan for any future period.
(a)
(b)
Participation During Leave.
(a)
FMLA Leave.
(1)
Health Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Plan, if a Participant goes on FMLA Leave, then to the extent required by
the FMLA, the Employer will continue to maintain the Participant's health
insurance benefits and Health Reimbursement Account benefits on the
same tenus and conditions as if the Participant were still an active
Employee. That is, if the Participant elects to continue his or her coverage
while on leave, the Employer will continue to pay its share of the
contribution.
4
An Employer may elect to continue all coverage for Participants while
they are on paid FMLA Leave (provided Participants on non-FMLA
Leave are required to continue coverage). If so, the Participant's share of
the contribution shall be paid by the method nonnal1y used during any
paid leave (e.g. on a pre-tax, compensation reduction basis if that was the
method used before FMLA Leave.)
In the event of unpaid FMLA Leave (or paid FMLA Leave where
coverage is not required to be continued), a Participant may elect to
continue his or her coverage under the Premium Program and/or Health
Reimbursement Account components during the FMLA Leave. If the
Participant elects to continue çoverage while on leave, then the Participant
shall pay his or her share of the contribution in one of the following ways
(as agreed upon by the Plan Administrator):
(A) With after-tax payments, by sending monthly payments to the
Ernployer by the due date established by the Employer;
(C)
With pre-tax, compensation reduction contributions, by having
such amounts withheld from his or her ongoing compensation (if
any) or pre-paying all or a portion of the contribution for the
expected duration of the leave with pre-tax compensation reduction
contributions [To pre-pay the contribution with pre-tax
compensation reduction amounts, the Participant must make a
special election to that effect prior to the date that such
compensation would nonnally be made available (pre-tax
compensation reduction contributions may not be used to fund
coverage during the next Plan Year).]; or
Under another arrangement agreed upon between the Participant
and the Plan Administrator (e.g., the Plan Administrator may
choose to fund coverage during the FMLA Leave and withhold
"catch-up" amounts upon the Participant's return with pre-tax,
compensation reduction contributions or after-tax contributions).
If the Employer requires all Participants to continue coverage during the
leave, the Participant may elect to discontinue the Participant's required
contributions until the Participant returns from FMLA Leave. Upon return
from leave, the Participant will be required to repay the contribution not
paid by the Participant during the FMLA Leave. Payment shall be
withheld £Tom the Participant's compensation either on a pre-tax or after-
tax basis, as may be agreed upon by the Plan Administrator and the
Participant.
If a Participant's coverage ceases while on FMLA Leave (e.g., for non-
payment of required contributions), the Participant will be pennitted to re-
enter the Plan upon return from such FMLA Leave on the same basis as
the Participant was participating in the Plan prior to the leave, or otherwise
required by the FMLA. Employees whose coverage tenninated during the
leave may be automatically reinstated provided that coverage for
(8)
5
2.4
Employees on non-FMLA Leave is automatically reinstated upon return
from leave. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with regard to Health
Reimbursement Account benefits, a Participant whose coverage ceased
will be entitled to elect whether to be reinstated in the Health
Reimbursement Account at the same coverage level as in effect before the
FMLA Leave (with increased contributions for the remaining period of
coverage) or at a Health Reimbursement Account coverage level that is
reduced pro-rata for the period of FMLA Leave during which the
Participant did not make contributions.
Non-Health Benefits. If a Participant goes on FMLA Leave, entitlement to
non-health benefits, such as the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account,
is to be determined by the Employer's policy for providing such benefits
when the Participant is on non-FMLA Leave, as described in subsection
(b) below. If the Employer continues a Participant's non-health benefits
during a qualifying FMLA Leave, the Participant will, upon returning
from leave, be required to repay the contributions due from, but not paid
by, the Participant during the FMLA Leave.
Non-FMLA Leave. If a Participant goes on an unpaid leave of absence that does
not affect eligibility, then the Participant will continue to participate and the
contributions due for the Participant will be paid by pre-payment before going on
leave, by after-tax contributions while on leave, or with catch-up contributions
after the leave ends, as may be determined by the Plan Administrator. If a
Participant goes on an unpaid leave that affects eligibility, the election change
rules in Section 3.7 will apply. If the Employer continues the Participant's
benefits while on leave, the Participant will upon returning from leave be required
to repay the contributions due from, but not paid by, the Participant during the
leave.
Reinstatement of Fonner Participant. An Employee who is a former Participant becomes
a Participant again if and when such Employee satisfies the requirements of Section 2. I.
If, during the same Plan Year, the fonner Participant satisfies the requirements of
Section 2.1 within 30 days of the date his coverage under the Plan was tenninated
pursuant to section 2.2, the Participant's prior elections under the Plan shall be
automaticaI1y reinstated. If, during the same Plan Year, the former Participant satisfies
the requirements of Section 2.l more than 30 days after the date his coverage under the
Plan was tenninated pursuant to Section 2.2, the Participant shall be entitled to make new
elections under the Plan as provided in Section 3.3.

more Dependents.
Limit on Health Reimbursement Account. The total amount that a Participant
may elect to have credited to the Participant's Health Reimbursement Account for
a Plan Year may not exceed $5,000.00. If an Employee first becomes a
Participant during a Plan Year, as described in Section 3.3, the applicable limit
described in the preceding sentence shall be reduced by multiplying it by a
fraction, The numerator of that fraction shall be the number of calendar months
during the Plan Year that the Employee will be a Participant and the denominator
of which is the total number of months in the Plan Year. For purposes of the
foregoing calculation, the Employee shall be considered a Participant for a
calendar month only if the Employee is a Participant on the fifteenth day of that

or the Participant's Dependents, provided such expenses are submitted properly in

Reimbursement Account shall be reduced by reimbursements the Participant receives for
such Eligible Medical or Dental Expenses. Expenses incurred before an Employee
becomes a Participant or after an Employee ceases to be a Participant shall not be eligible
for reimbursement under this Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, if a Participant
becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan during a Plan Year due to a change from full-
time to part-time employment status, reimbursable expenses include Eligible Medical or
Dental Expenses incurred during the Plan Year but after the Employee ceases to be a
Participant.
Detem1Înation of Status as a Spouse or a Dependent. The Plan Administrator shall

Expenses incuned before an Employee becomes a Participant or after an Employee
ceases to be a Participant shall not be eligible for reimbursement under this Plan. The
foregoing notwithstanding, if a Participant becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan
during a Plan Year due to a change from fu1l-time to part-time employment status,
reimbursable expenses include Dependent Care Expenses incurred during the Plan Year
but after the Employee ceases to be a Participant.
Crediting of Accounts. The amount that the Participant elects to have credited to the
Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account for the Plan Year shall be credited
to the Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account over the course of such
Plan Year. As of a given date within the Plan Year, the arnount credited to a Participant's
Dependent Care Assistance Account sha1l equal:

for each Plan Year shall be debited from time to time by the amount of any
payment under this Article V to or for the benefit ofthe Participant for Dependent
Care Expenses incuned during such Plan Year. Amounts debited to a
Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account shall be treated as
payments of the earliest amounts credited to that Account and not yet treated as
paid under this sentence, under a "first-in/first-out" approach.
Payment of Dependent Care Expense Reimbursements.
(a) Claims for Reimbursement. A Participant applying for reimbursement of
Dependent Care Expenses must submit the following to the Plan Administrator,
on a fOI111 approved by the Plan Administrator no later than the March 31 st after

any additional documentation which the Plan Administrator may request.
Any claim for reimbursement submitted to the Plan Administrator by the

the Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account at the time of the
reimbursement or payment. The amount of any Dependent Care Expenses
incurred in a Plan Year that are notreirnbursecI or paid as a result of the preceding
sentence shall be reimbursed or paid only if and when the balance in the
Participant's Account for such Plan Year is sufficient to penTIit such
reimbursement or payment.
Excess Reimbursements or Failure to Use Amount Available. If the reimbursement
provided by the Employer pursuant to the Plan for the Plan Year exceeds the amount
credited to the Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account for the Plan Year,
the Participant shall repay such excess amount to the Employer. If a Participant's
incurred and properly submitted Dependent Care Expenses for a Plan Year are less than
the amount credited to the Participant's Dependent Care Reimbursement Account for that
Plan Year, the excess of the amount credited to the Participant's Dependent Care
Reimbursement Account over the Dependent Care Expenses incurred and properly

ARTICLE VI
CONTINUATION COVERAGE UNDER
HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT
Continuation Coverage After Tennination of Nonnal Participation. During any Plan
Year during which the Employer has more than 20 employees and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan to the contrary, each person who is a Qualified Beneficiary
described under Section 6.2 shall have the right to elect continued coverage for the
remainder of the Plan Year under the Health Reimbursement Account upon the
occurrence of a Qualifying Event. Such extended coverage under the Plan is known as
"Continuation Coverage."
Continuation Coverage, however, shall not be available if, as of the Qualifying Event, the
sum of the premiums the Qualified Beneficiary must pay to obtain Continuation
Coverage for the remainder of the Plan Year pursuant to Section 6.l 0, equals or exceeds
the Qualified Beneficiary's remaining benefit for the Plan Year. The Qualified
Beneficiary's remaining benefit for the Plan Year shall be detennined by subtracting the
Participant's previously reimbursed Eligible Medical and Dental Expenses for the Plan
Year from the amount the Participant elected to have credited to the Health
Reimbursement Account for that Plan Year.
Qualified Beneficiary. A "Qualified Beneficiary" for purposes of this Article VI is any
person who, as of the day before a Qualifying Event, is:

A Participant can be a Qualified Beneficiary only if the Qualifying Event is described in
subsection (b) of Section 6.3. A retiree or other fonner employee actively participating in

Beneficiary." A person is not a "Qualified Beneficiary" if, as of the date of the
Qualifying Event, the individual is covered under a Health Reimbursement Account
under the Plan by vÍ1iue of an election of Continuation Coverage by another person and is
not already a Qualified Beneficiary by reason of a prior Qualifying Event. Furthennore,
an individual who fails to elect Continuation Coverage within the election period
provided in Section 6.6, below, shall not be considered to be a Qualified Beneficimy.

(b) Tennination (other than by reason of gross rnisconduct) of the Participant's
employment or a reduction of hours of employment below any minimum level of
hours required for participation in this Plan. In the case of a Participant who:

Qualifying Event oftennination occurs on the earlier of the last day of the
20
FMLA Leave or the date the Participant notifies the Ernployer of the

Is absent more than 31 days due to a period of duty with the Unifonned
Services, the Qualifying Event occurs on the first day of such absence.
Divorce or legal separation of a Participant from the Participant's Spouse.
A Participant becoming eligible to receive Medicare Benefits under Title XVIII of
the Social Security Act.
(e) A Dependent child ofa Participant ceasing to be a Dependent.
Benefit Available Under Continuation Coverage. A Participant who is eligible to elect to
continue coverage under this Article VI shall have the right to continue the level of
coverage in effect for the Participant on the day before the Qualifying Event. If a
Participant has a Spouse and/or Dependent child(ren) at the time of a Qualifying Event

An electing Qualified Beneficiary becomes covered under another group health
plan after making that election; or
An electing Qualified Beneficiary becomes eligible to receive benefits under
Medicare after making that election.
Required Monthly Premium. To obtain Continuation Coverage, a Qualified Beneficiary
must pay the Required Monthly Premium to the Plan Administrator. The amount of the
Required Monthly Premium shall be determined by the Plan Administrator based upon
the amount the Participant elected to contribute to the Health Reimbursernent Account for
the Plan Year and as provided in 42 U.S.CA. section 300bb-4. The Required Monthly
Premium is due as of the first day of each calendar month during which coverage is
continued under this Article VI. A Required Monthly Premium payment shall be
considered timely if it is made within 30 days after the date such payment is due.
The initial Required Monthly Premium for Continuation Coverage shall be considered
timely if paid by the later of the date which is 45 days after the date the Qualified
Beneficiary timely elects Continuation Coverage pursuant to Section 6.6 or which is 30
days after the first day of the first calendar month of Continuation Coverage. If the initial
Required Monthly Premium is timely, as described in the preceding sentence, but is paid
more than 30 days after the due date of a Required Monthly Premium for a month of
Continuation Coverage, the initial Required Monthly Premium shall include the Required
Monthly Premium for that month.

Article VI, a Participant absent from work for more than 3l days in order to fulfill a
period of duty in the Uniformed Services has a Qualifying Event as of the first day of the
Participant's absence for such duty. Such individual shall be treated as any other
Qualified Beneficiary for all purposes of COBRA and this Article VI. The Plan
Administrator shall furnish the Participant a notice of the right to elect Continuation
