SUBJECT:
PZ-27 -05 - CONDITIONAL USE (CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY)
109 MAC ARTHUR BOULEVARD
MATTHEW AND GIGI O'MARA - APPLICANTS
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to deny Case PZ-27-05, a request for a
circular driveway, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard
the request at their July 28, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is located in the Northwest Meadows Subdivision on Mac Arthur Boulevard. The street
pavement width of MacArthur Blvd is 27 feet, which is one foot narrower than current Village Code requires.
The Petitioner intends to tear down the existing ranch house to construct a new, two story house and related
improvements that include a circular driveway. The Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for
new circular driveways. Previous requests for circular driveways have been approved to address safety concerns,
not for convenience or to provide additional parking.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the proposed amount of front yard lot coverage, the general
character of the neighborhood, and construction of a turn-around as an alternative to a circular driveway. The
Petitioner stated that he was most concerned about the safety of his daughter and wanted to provide a safe place
for her to play. Neighbors addressed the P&Z and stated concerns regarding additional lot coverage and snow
removal; however one neighbor confirmed that many drivers cut through the neighborhood using Mac Arthur
Boulevard.
The P&Z noted that the circular driveway would be constructed of brick pavers, but that a landscape plan had not
been submitted. The P&Z further noted that a maximum of 11 cars could be parked in the driveway and garages,
and reiterated their concerns about the front yard lot coverage in a neighborhood characterized by open, green
yards. The P&Z also discussed alternatives to a circular drive with the Petitioner. They gave the Petitioner the
opportunity to withdraw the request to explore other design options, but the Petitioner declined this option.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 1-4 to recommend that the Village Board approve a request for a
Conditional Use permit for the construction of a circular driveway at 109 Mac Arthur Boulevard, Case No. PZ-
27-05 subject to the following conditions:
1) overnight parking on the circular portion of the driveway is prohibited; and
2) the Petitioner shall construct the driveway of brick pavers
In order to approve the request, a super majority vote is required from the Village Board since the P&Z did not
make a favorable recommendation.

The Petitioner submitted a revised design that reduces the amount of front yard lot coverage. The attached plans
indicate the driveway width has been reduced and the front yard lot coverage would not exceed 35%. ill addition,
the overall site has less than 33% lot coverage; 35% is the lot coverage limitation for the Subject Property.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
August 16,2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the June 23,2005 meeting and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0.
At 8:32 PM Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-27-05 a request for Variance for a Circular Drive way at 109
Mac Arthur. She said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Elizabeth Schuh, Planning Intern, summarized the request. She said that the Subject Property is located on the
north side of Mac Arthur Blvd between Withorn Lane and Forest Avenue. The Subject Property is zoned RX
Single Family Residence and is bordered by single-family zoning districts on all sides. The petitioner intends to
demolish the existing house and construct a new house and related site improvements. Similar to other requests
for circular driveways, this street does not have sidewalks or curb and gutter, and the street pavement width is 27
feet (which is 1 foot less than the current code requirement). The Subject Property is drained by a ditch and
culvert system.
The Petitioner intends to construct a new house and related site improvements that will meet Village Code
requirements. However, the proposed circular driveway requires Conditional Use approval. The proposed
circular driveway measures 12-feet wide and would connect to a 'standard' 20 -30' wide driveway. The attached
site plan shows that the proposed driveway, to be constructed of brick pavers, would cover 41 % of the front yard.
Additionally, the Petitioner plans to construct a two-car garage and a single car garage. Staff discussed the need
for a Conditional Use for the second garage, which is attached to the house by a roofed, unenclosed porch.
PZ-27 -05
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2005
Page 2
However, the Director of Community Development determined that since both garages are attached to the house,
Conditional Use Approval is not required for the proposed garages. If either or both garages had been detached, a
Conditional Use Approval would have been required.
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section contains specific
findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. Ms Schuh summarized the standards and said
that as with other requests for circular driveways, Staff evaluated traffic patterns in the neighborhood of the
Subject Property. It has been Staff policy to support requests for circular driveways when the Subject Property
fronts on an arterial street and/or the traffic volume is such that a circular driveway is necessary to resolve a safety
conflict. In this case, the street has a minimally substandard pavement width (1 foot short of the 28 feet
required), but it is a Local Street intended to serve only vehicle trips generated within the neighborhood. The
Police Department reviewed the request and deferred to the Traffic Engineer's findings. The Village's Traffic
Engineer did not find that the volume of traffic along Mac Arthur Boulevard would impede the Petitioner from
backing out of the driveway.
The Petitioner's submittal calls for a l2-foot wide, brick paver, circular driveway that results in 41 % front yard lot
coverage. Historically, Staff has used the 35% front yard coverage referenced in the Zoning Ordinance as a
guideline to determine the impact of the circular driveway on the neighborhood character. Although the site
complies with overall lot coverage requirements and brick pavers are an attractive alternative to a concrete
driveway, the lot coverage in the front yard is an issue. The proposed 41% front yard coverage would create an
amount of paved surface in the front yard in excess of the coverage generally present in the neighborhood.
Staff conducted a site visit and found two circular drives in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. The
first is located at 212 Mac Arthur Boulevard on a comer lot and appears to have been installed before a
Conditional Use Permit was required for circular driveways. The second is located at 1006 W Isabella. The
owner of this property applied for a conditional use for the driveway and front porch encroachment into the
setback. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended that the conditional use request for a circular drive be
denied. However, the Village Board approved the request after the petitioner reduced the number of curb cuts
from three to two, reoriented the garage, and reduced the lot coverage to comply with the 35% limit.
After the staff report was completed, staff surveyed the full subdivision and found three additional circular drives,
located at 401 Mac Arthur, 902 Gregory, and 303 Dale. 401 Mac Arthur appears to have been installed before a
Conditional Use Permit was required for circular driveways. 902 Gregory and 303 Dale were installed in 1961
and 1992, respectively, and also before a Conditional Use Permit was required.
The proposed circular driveway fails to meet the Conditional Use standards of the Zoning Ordinance because the
circular driveway is not needed to resolve a safety issue and the amount of front yard lot coverage exceeds 35%.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission deny the following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit for a circular driveway for the residence at 109 Mac Arthur Boulevard,
Case No. PZ-27-05." The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
The property owner Matthew O'Mara and Architect Jeffrey Everett were sworn in. Matthew O'Mara spoke
briefly about safety issues on the street. Ms. Juracek confirmed that the current house will be demolished. Jeffrey
Everett stated that the property was within the overall 35% lot coverage. The petitioners discussed options for
reducing lot coverage, such as a turnaround or narrowing the proposed width, with Joseph Donnelly.
Richard Rogers noted the size of the driveway and the large number of cars that could be parked on the standard
drive without using the circular drive. Mr. O'Mara stated that his concern was not for the number of cars that
could be parked on the driveway, but to provide a safe place for his daughter to play. Ms. Juracek asked why the
petitioner would choose to tear down his existing house and build a new house if the location was unsafe for his
daughter. Ms. Juracek also stated that she was concerned about the lot coverage in the front yard, and thought
that the large lots in the neighborhood and the large, standard driveway provided ample play space without adding
additional pavement to the front yard in an area where the large, green lots are a feature of the neighborhood.

Ronald Roberts asked the petitioner if safety was an issue when backing out of the driveway. The petitioner
confirmed that cars speeding around the curve could be a problem, and that he had almost been hit by a van while
backing out of his driveway that evening. Mr. Roberts also asked if a landscape plan exists. Mr. O'Mara stated
that there is currently no final landscape plan.
Marlys Haaland confirmed that both the standard and circular driveway would be constructed of brick pavers.
Nancy Fritz of 103 Mac Arthur Boulevard was sworn in. She stated that although people do speed on the street,
she does not consider it to be of greater concern than on any other street. She has also raised children in the
neighborhood, but thinks that the yards provide enough space for children to play. Ms. Fritz opposes the circular
driveway because the amount of pavement in the front yard would hurt the rural, green feel of the neighborhood.
Bob Fata of 110 Mac Arthur was sworn in. He stated that he understood the O'Mara's desire to have a circular
drive, and he liked the results at 1006 Isabella. Mr. Fata was concerned about the problem of snow removal
because the removal of snow from 109 Mac Arthur leads to a large amount of snow being deposited near his
driveway, which blocks visibility. Ms. Juracek confirmed that the Isabella Circular Drive was approved because
it minimized lot coverage and included a landscape plan, and that Mr. Fata was concerned about the snow being
deposited on his property.
Don Churchill of 107 Mac Arthur was sworn in. He said that he supported the Petitioner's request and confirmed
that fast drivers were a concern in the neighborhood. He confirmed that he had also seen a van almost run into the
O'Mara's while they were backing out of the driveway earlier that day and stressed that many drivers coming
from the High School use the street as a cut through.
Matthew O'Mara came forward to respond to Ms. Juracek's concerns involving snow removal and landscaping.
Ms. Juracek also asked if the petitioner would instead install a turnaround with one curb cut rather than a circular
drive. Mr. O'Mara stated that they were open to options like the turnaround, but that they had originally liked the
circular driveway because it provided easy access to the front door and they were concerned about safety issues.
Mr. O'Mara also stated that the he was unaware that his snow removal was causing problems for his neighbors,
and that he had helped other neighbors remove snow from their yards.
Mr. Donnelly asked the petitioner if he would agree to a condition that cars could not be parked on the circular
drive overnight. Mr. O'Mara said that he would agree.
Mr. Rogers noted that 11 cars could be parked on the driveway with the addition of the circular drive. Mr.
O'Mara stated that he did not plan to park that many cars on the driveway, and that they intended to install
landscaping and brick paving which would add to the aesthetics of the area.
Ms. Juracek asked if the Petitioner would consider installing a turnaround instead of a circular drive, and
confirmed with staff that this would not require a conditional use. Mr. O'Mara stated that they had been
considering the project for some time, and that the circular drive was something they wanted to pursue. Ms.
Juracek offered the petitioner the opportunity to change his plans to include a turnaround and withdraw his case
before the commission voted. The Petitioner chose to seek a vote.
Ms. Juracek asked if there were any questions from the audience. There were none and the Public Hearing was
closed.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve a Conditional Use to construct a Circular Drive as shown on the
Petitioner's site plan, Case No. PZ-27-05, 109 Mac Arthur Boulevard, with the condition that no overnight
parking be allowed on the driveway. Richard Rogers amended that request to include the condition that the
driveway be constructed of brick pavers. Richard Rogers seconded the motion.

JULY 28, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-27-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (CIRCULAR DRNE)
109 MAC ARTHUR BOULEVARD (O'MARA RESIDENCE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the July 28, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by Matthew and Gigi O'Mara (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 109 Mac Arthur
Boulevard (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested Conditional Use approval to allow the
construction of a new circular driveway. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the July 13, 2005 edition of
the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners
within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the north side of Mac Arthur Blvd between Withorn Lane and Forest Avenue.
The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family Residence and is bordered on all sides by the RX District.
Similar to other requests for circular driveways, this street does not have sidewalks or curb and gutter, and the
street pavement width is 27 feet (which is 1 foot less than the current code requirement). The Subject Property is
drained by a ditch and culvert system.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner intends to construct a new house and related site improvements that meet Village Code
requirements. However, the proposed circular driveway requires Conditional Use approval (Sec. l4.22l5.A.l).
The proposed circular driveway measures l2-feet wide and would connect to a 'standard' 20 -30' wide driveway.
The attached site plan shows that the proposed driveway, to be constructed of brick pavers, would cover 41% of
the front yard.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously noted, the Petitioner plans to construct a new, two-story, single-family residence. The proposed
house and related improvements will comply with Village regulations. The table on the following page compares
the Petitioner's proposal to the bulk requirements of the RX Single Family Residence district.

Interior 10' or 10% oflot width 10' (both)

Additionally, the Petitioner plans to construct a two-car garage and a single car garage. Staff discussed the need
for a Conditional Use for the second garage, which is attached to the house by a roofed, unenclosed porch.
However, the Director of Community Development determined that since both garages are attached to the house,
Conditional Use Approval is not required for the proposed garages. If either or both garages had been detached, a
Conditional Use Approval would have been required.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section
contains seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The circular drive is
listed as a Conditional Use in the parking section of the Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 14.2215.A.l). The following list
is a summary of these findings:
· 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.
As with other requests for circular driveways, Staff evaluated traffic patterns in the neighborhood of the Subject
Property. It has been Staff policy to support requests for circular driveways when the Subject Property fronts on
an arterial street and/or the traffic volume is such that a circular driveway is necessary to resolve a safety conflict.
In this case, the street has a minimally substandard pavement width, but it is a Local Street intended to serve only
vehicle trips generated within the neighborhood. The Police Department reviewed the request and deferred to the
Traffic Engineer's findings. The Village's Traffic Engineer did not find that the volume of traffic along Mac
Arthur Boulevard would impede the Petitioner from backing out of the driveway.
The Petitioner's submittal calls for a 12-foot wide, brick paver, circular driveway that results in 41 % front yard lot
coverage. Historically, Staff has used the 35% front yard coverage referenced in the Zoning Ordinance as a
guideline to determine the impact of the circular driveway on the neighborhood character. Although the site
complies with overall lot coverage requirements and brick pavers are an attractive alternative to a concrete
driveway, the lot coverage in the front yard is an issue. The proposed 41% front yard coverage would create an
amount of paved surface in the front yard in excess of the coverage generally present in the neighborhood.
Staff conducted a site visit and found two circular drives in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. The
first is located at 212 Mac Arthur Boulevard on a comer lot and appears to have been installed before a
Conditional Use Permit was required for circular driveways. The second is located at 1006 W Isabella. The
owner of this property applied for a conditional use for the driveway and front porch encroachment into the
setback (case number ZBA-16-01). The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended that the conditional use request
for a circular drive be denied. However, the Village Board approved the request after the petitioner reduced the
PZ-27-05
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 23, 2005
Page 4
number of curb cuts from three to two, reoriented the garage, and reduced the lot coverage to comply with the
35% limit.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed circular driveway fails to meet the Conditional Use standards contained in Section l4.203.F.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance because the circular driveway is not needed to resolve a safety issue and the amount of front
yard lot coverage exceeds 35%. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission deny the following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit for a circular driveway for the residence at 109 Mac Arthur
Boulevard, Case No. PZ-27-05."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Proposed Conditional Use Request
We are requesting condition use approval for a proposed circular driveway to be installed
as part of our new house that will be built on our existing property at 109 N. MacArthur.
The following safety issues exist that provide reasons for our request:
· Traffic flow is very heavy due to easy access for the Meadows Park baseball
fields, Meadows Park pool and all events that take place at Prospect High School.
The visibility to our house heading southbound on MacArthur from the high
school is poor because our property is right after a curve in the street.
· Related to the above reasons, speeding is also an issue. The village installed a
counter device in front of our house because of the heavy flow of traffic and
complaints of cars racing down the street.
· A neighbor's child was hit by a vehicle last spring which resulted in a broken arm
along with cuts and bruises.
· We have an eight year old daughter who enjoys rollerblading and riding her
scooter, however, do to the heavy flow of traffic and the absence of sidewalks it
is impossible for her to enjoy these activities. With the installation of a circular
driveway she can enjoy these outdoor activities safely.
· Minimize traffic congestion on MacArthur, when we have visitors at our horne,
there is minimal space for traffic to get through when our visitor's vehicles are
parked on the street.
Please consider the above stated safety and congestion issues and grant our request for
condition use approval for a circular driveway.
Thank you.

FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
AUGUST 12,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-26-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (GYM)
1784 W. GOLF ROAD
mLIE KEATING, SHAPEXPRESS - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-26-05, a request to
operate a gym, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the
request at their July 28, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is located at the northwest comer of Golf and Busse Roads, and includes a retail center with
related improvements. The Petitioner proposes to modify the interior of the former 2,400 sq. ft. White Hen tenant
space and operate a women's fitness facility (gym). The Petitioner proposes to market the facility to women and
includes a weight loss and nutritional product sales component. The site does not comply with the Village's
parking regulations because it is deficient by 1 parking space. However, the landlord informed Staff that the site
would be re-striped and that the required space would be provided behind the building and designated as
employee parking.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed installing Fire sprinklers in the unit and the building, services
offered at the gym, and the gym's hours of operation. The Petitioner made a presentation to the P&Z that detailed
the business plan.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a request for a
Conditional Use permit to operate a gym at 1784 W. Golf Road, Case No. PZ-26-05, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The tenant space is remodeled in accordance with all Village Codes;
2. The two lots of record are re-striped to provide at least 339 parking spaces, the required amount
of parking spaces; and
3. The Property Owner agrees to provide additional parking, as needed, for future projects (change
in tenant composition, modifications to current tenant spaces, etc.) in order to continue to comply
with the Village's parking regulations.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
August 16, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered by the B3 district to the south, B4 Business Retail &
Service and RX Single Family to the east, and CR Conservation Recreation to the north and west. The petitioner
proposes to modify the interior of the former 2,400 sq. ft. White Hen tenant space and operate a women's fitness
facility (gym). The attached information includes a floor plan for the operation and indicates that the facility will
include a circuit training area, a cardiovascular area, and spa area. The spa area will include a massage room,
tanning room, and locker room. The Petitioner proposes to market the facility to women and includes a weight
loss and nutritional product sales component.
Ms. Sloan, reports that the Mount Prospect Commons retail center includes multiple uses that range from
restaurants to retail to offices. The Petitioner submitted a summary of current tenants and a break down of tenant
space square footage, or number of seats and employees for the restaurants. Ms. Sloan said the table in the staff
report summarized the square footage for the types of use and parking requirement at the site.

Ms. Sloan said the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The
following list is a summary of these findings: the Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public
health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; the Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment,
or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; the adequate
provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and
compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other
Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the use or find that it would have an
adverse impact on the adjacent tenants or properties. However, the site does not comply with the Village's
parking regulations and is deficient by 1 parking space. After further discussions with the landlord, Staff was
informed that the site would be re-striped and that the required space would be provided behind the building and
designated as employee parking (see attached Site Plan). Also, it is important to note that there is a vacant tenant
space which may require additional parking if an intense use, such as a restaurant, leases the space. (Staff reviews
parking compliance as part of the Business License review.) In addition, the Fire Department noted that fire
sprinklers would be required if the site does not currently have sprinklers.
Ms. Sloan said the proposed gym meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion: "to approve a Conditional Use permit for a gym at 1784 W. Golf Road, Case No. PZ-26-05,
subject to the following conditions: the tenant space being remodeled in accordance with all Village Codes; the
two lots of record are re-striped to provide at least 339 parking spaces, the required amount of parking spaces; and
the property owner agrees to provide additional parking, as needed, for future projects (change in tenant
composition, modifications to current tenant spaces, etc.) in order to continue to comply with the Village's
parking regulations." Ms. Sloan said the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Richard Roberts inquired about the sprinkler system and if the whole building was going to be sprinkled or just
this space. Ellen Divita replied that she believes this retail center was built with fire walls between each space
and the sprinkler system would only be required for this space.
Julie Keating, the Petitioner, swore in. Ms. Keating gave an overview of Shape Express, informed the
commission of her background and described the operations of the business that was proposed to go into the
Mount Prospect Commons Shopping Center.
Ms. Juracek indicated that the application stated that Shape Expresses hours of operation were from 7:00 am to
7:00 pm and wanted to know if these hours were geared towards retirees and stay at home moms. Ms. Keating
said that the franchise determines these hours based on their research, but if women would like to come in earlier
or later than these times she is willing to changer her hours of operation.
Mr. Roberts wanted to know if Ms. Keating was aware of the sprinkler provisions for her space. She said that
there have been several conversations with the landlord about the sprinkler system and that they will be provided.
Ms. Juracek asked if there were any questions from the audience. There were none and the Public Hearing was
closed.
Joseph Donnelly, made a motion to approve the conditional use for a Gym at 1784 W. Golf Road, PZ-26-05, 1784
W. Golf Road. Richard Rogers seconded the motion.

Bill:
Allow this letter to serve as written notice that we are engaged with Ms. Julie Keating (a
ShapeXpress franchise owner) for the leasing of 1784 W. Golf Road in the Mt. Prospect Commons
Shopping Center. We have agreed in terms with a letter of intent and have begun drafting a lease
agreement. Ms. Keating desires to open a 2,400 square foot women's fitness facility in the shopping
center. We believe this will be a valuable addition to the property and surrounding community.
Since this use requires a conditional use permit, we hope that your department along with the Village
board agrees. Please feel free to call with any questions or comments.

FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
AUGUST 12,2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-24-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL)
479 BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE
DMITRY KOTL Y AR - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-24-05, a request to
operate a cosmetology school, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning
Commission heard the request at their July 28,2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center,
and includes an office/manufacturing building with related improvements. The Petitioner proposes to modify a
portion of the 21,877 sq. ft. building and operate a cosmetology school. The school will include office space for
school staff, student classrooms, and a clinic area. There will be 3 teachers and a maximum of 30 students, but no
more than 15 students at the facility at one time. The school will have varying hours and will be open on
Saturdays.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the intensity of the use based on the number of stations in the
school. They stated concerns that a parking deficiency would be created when guests would receive services at
the school. The P&Z inquired about the nature of the school, scope of services offered (hair styling, cutting,
dying), and whether other services would be offered in the future. The Petitioner stated that the services were not
likely to change. The P&Z questioned if there would be any toxic fumes from the beauty supplies and whether
the building would require additional ventilation. The Petitioner could not provide details of the building's
ventilation system since he was not the owner, but agreed that the site would comply with all Village Code
requirements.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a request for a
Conditional Use permit to operate a cosmetology school at 479 Business Center Drive, Case No. PZ-24-05,
subject to the following conditions:
1. That the ventilation system be investigated to confirm whether a special HV AC system is
required;
2. That the parking be monitored to ensure that parking is sufficient for the uses, and
3. That no more than 15 students and 3 teachers attend the facility at one time.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
August 16,2005 meeting. Staffwill be present tOf'wer any questions re.lated to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the June 23, 2005 meeting and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0.
At 8:00 PM Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-24-05 a request for Conditional Use approval for a Cosmetology
School at 479 Business Center Drive. She said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Clare Sloan, Neighborhood Planner, summarized the request. She said the subject property is located on the west
side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center, and includes an office/manufacturing building
with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned II Limited Industrial and is bordered by the II district
on all sides. The Petitioner proposes to modify a portion of the 21,877 sq. ft. building and operate a cosmetology
school. However, the Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for a vocational school; a
cosmetology school is classified as a vocational school. As part of the Conditional Use application, the Petitioner
submitted a floor plan that indicates the 3,018 sq. ft. school will include office space for school staff, student
classrooms, and a clinic area. The clinic area is the area students will use to practice the skills they are learning,
such as hair styling, hair coloring, esthetics, etc. There will be 10 stations set-up in the clinic area (a station
consists of a chair, a mirror, and a cabinet to hold the student's supplies). The Petitioner has provided a
description of the school, the staffs qualifications, and information on how the school will operate: there will be 3
teachers and a maximum of 30 students, but no more than 15 students at the facility at one time. The school will
have varying hours and will be open on Saturdays.

PZ-24-05

The building includes multiple tenants, but they are all office uses. The Petitioner submitted a summary of
current tenants and a break down of tenant space square footage. Ms. Sloan said the table in the staff report
summarized the square footage for the types of use and parking requirement at the site.
The adjacent building, 411 Business Center Drive, is owned by the same management company and there is a
shared parking agreement between the two properties. The management company confirmed that 411 Business
Center Drive has 31,117 square feet of office space. The Zoning Ordinance requires 125 parking spaces for this
development, but the site includes 129 parking spaces. Therefore, the site has 5 'extra' parking spaces to share
and the proposed use will not create a parking deficiency.
Ms. Sloan reported that the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section l4.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The
following list is a summary of these findings: the Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public
health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; the Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment,
or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; adequate
provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and
compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other
Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the use or find that it would have an
adverse impact on the adjacent tenants or properties. The site was developed with a 'twin building' on a separate
lot of record. However, the parking calculation listed in the Staff Report reflects the parking on the Subject
Property only. Staff found that the proposed use would not create a parking deficiency and site inspection
confirmed that the site currently has a lot of available parking.
Ms. Sloan reports that the proposed cosmetology school meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section
l4.203.F.8 of the Zoning Ordinance because it will have minimal impact on the adjacent properties and will not
create a parking deficiency. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission
approve the following motion: "To approve a Conditional Use permit for a cosmetology school at 479 Business
Center Drive, Case No. PZ-24-05 subject to the condition that no more than 15 students and 3 teachers attend the
facility at one time." Ms. Sloan also reported that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Ms. Juracek inquired if the public coming into the facility that the students are working on would impact the
parking. Ms. Sloan replied the reason the parking requirement was given a maximum of 15 was for the amount of
teachers and students that are conditionally allowed to attend the facility at one time. She also stated that the
amount of available parking at the office complex would be more than enough space to accommodate the public
coming in to this business. Ellen Divita also stated that there is a shared parking situation in this office complex
and that all businesses do not operate at the same time.
Dmitry Kotlyar and Carl Costanzo, Petitioners, were sworn in. The petitioners said that Eric Alexander is a
school that offers a high quality and affordable cosmetology education. Mr. Kotlyar said that the facility would
have a maximum of ten training stations, but realistically five or six would be used at a time. He also said that
classes would be small with only six or seven students at a time and that classes would be offered at flexible hours
throughout the day. The space would also utilize two class rooms and no new construction was needed for this
use.
Richard Rogers inquired more about the operations of Eric Alexander. Mr. Costanzo replied that they offer
education for services you would see in any hair salon such as hair cutting/coloring and cosmetics. Mr. Rogers
. 1>Z-24-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005
Page 3
also wanted to know if they were planning on offering any services for finger nails to which Mr. Costanzo replied
that this was possible for the future, but not right now.
Mr. Rogers further inquired if the HV AC system was shared with other businesses in the building. He was
concerned that chemical products used in this type of school give off an odor that might be shared with the other
businesses in the building if they are all connected by the same HV AC system. Mr. Kotlyar replied that as far as
he knew the space had a separate air and heating unit on the roof from any other business in the building. Ms.
Juracek wanted know if this was something the Building Division looked at when approving the permit. Ellen
Divita replied that she was sure this was something the Environmental Health and Building division would review
and that Bill Cooney, Community Development Director, previously met with the owner of the building, where
the school would be located, and the property owner believes there would be no conflicts between this school and
the other tenants. Ms. Sloan also noted the build out would meet all Village codes
Ms. Juracek also wanted to clarify that cosmetology was a state licensed profession. The Petitioners stated that it
was a state licensed profession.
Ms. Juracek asked if there were any questions from the audience. There were none and the Public Hearing was
closed.
Richard Rogers made a motion to amend the approval for conditional use with the with the caveat that the HV AC
system be investigated specifically to ensure that aerosol sprays and related products would not affect the other
tenants in the building, and that parking does not adversely affect the facility. Ronald Roberts seconded the
motion.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to amend the approval for conditional use with the caveat that parking does not
adversely affect the facility. Ronald Roberts seconded the motion.
Richard Rogers made a motion to approve conditional use for a cosmetology school at 479 Business Center
Drive, Case No. PZ-24-05, with the caveat that the HV AC system be investigated specifically to ensure that
aerosol sprays and related products would not effect the other tenants in the building, and that parking does not
adversely effect the facility. Ronald Roberts seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Donnelly, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers, and Juracek
NAYS: None
Motion was approved 5-0. The case will go to Village Board for their consideration
After hearing four more cases, Richard Rogers made a motion to adjourn at 10:03 pm, seconded by Ronald
Roberts. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

479 BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE - DMITRY KOTL Y AR (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the July 28,2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by Dmitry Kotlyar (the "Petitioner") regarding the tenant space located at 479 Business Center Drive
(the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking Conditional Use approval to operate a cosmetology school.
The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the July 13,2005 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 west side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center,
and includes an office/manufacturing building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned 11
Limited Industrial and is bordered by the 11 district on all sides.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to modify a portion of the 21,877 sq. ft. building and operate a cosmetology school.
However, the Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for a vocational school; a cosmetology school
is classified as a vocational school. As part of the Conditional Use application, the Petitioner submitted a floor
plan that indicates the 3,018 sq. ft. school will include office space for school staff, student classrooms, and a
clinic area. The clinic area is the area students will use to practice the skills they are learning, such as hair styling,
hair coloring, esthetics, etc. There will be 10 stations set-up in the clinic area (a station consists of a chair, a
mirror, and a cabinet to hold the student's supplies). The Petitioner has provided a description of the school, the
staffs qualifications, and information on how the school will operate: there will be 3 teachers and a maximum of
30 students, but no more than 15 students at the facility at one time. The school will have varying hours and will
be open on Saturdays.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The building includes multiple tenants, but they are all office uses. The Petitioner submitted a summary of
current tenants and a break down of tenant space square footage. The following table summarizes the square
footage for the types of use and parking requirement.

Parking Deficiency 3
The adjacent building, 411 Business Center Drive, is owned by the same management company and there is a
shared parking agreement between the two properties. The management company confirmed that 411 Business
Center Drive has 31,117 square feet of office space. The Zoning Ordinance requires 125 parking spaces for this
development, but the site includes 129 parking spaces. Therefore, the site has 5 'extra' parking spaces to share
and the proposed use will not create a parking deficiency.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
. The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
. Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
. Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the use or find that it would have an
adverse impact on the adjacent tenants or properties. The site was developed with a 'twin building' on a separate
lot of record. However, the parking calculation listed in the Staff Report reflects the parking on the Subject
Property only. Staff found that the proposed use would not create a parking deficiency and site inspection
confirmed that the site currently has a lot of available parking.
RECOMMENDA TION
The proposed cosmetology school meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance because it will have minimal impact on the adjacent properties and will not create a parking
deficiency. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the
following motion:

Eric Alexander

Eric Alexander is a full time cosmetology school dedicated to consistently providing
high quality and affordable cosmetology education to a broader demographic. We are commit-
ted to rendering an excellent and varied learning experience for each student who attends our
classes. We value relationships and will foster a friendly, fair, and creative work environment
conducive to higher learning. We have a broad range of learning methods to offer our students
and the comfortable setting in which to offer them. We respect diversity and welcome ideas as
well as rewarding diligent work. We believe in keeping the focus on the student and the quality
of the education being provided. Keeping our teachers on top of changes within the industry as
well as keeping in mind the different ways students learn is of supreme importance to us.
Our mission: Eric Alexander is committed to being the best at teaching advanced skills in hair
cutting, coloring, styling, chemical processing and esthetics. We strive to provide students with
the technical skills as well as the confidence they need to enter the diverse world of cosmetol-
ogy. Our focus will remain on integrity, values and a fundamental understanding of the indus-
try which will provide each student with the foundation to a successful career.
The timing is right for starting this venture. We have patiently researched changes within the
beauty industry as well as sought the perfect location. The demand from those seeking to join
our industry for affordable, quality, consistent education as well as the ambitions of the owners
to one day start our own cosmetology school and the procurement of highly trained and experi-
enced teachers to support the school, makes this business one of great potential.
Dmitry Kotylar co-owner with Tina Toniolo bring knowledge and experience to the business.
Mr. Kotylar is a no-nonsense business manager and Mrs. Toniolo is a licensed cosmetologist
and has worked in upscale salons, building a large client base through her hard work and dedi-
cation. She has also earned her cosmetology teaching license and is eager to impart her experi-
ence to her future students. Together, they have organized a talented team of educators to be led
by seasoned cosmetology master educator, salon owner and hairdresser Johannes Burkert. Mr.
Burketi has had extensive experience in both salons and cosmetology schools. He has
partnered with Franco Tricoci in the Tricoci School of Hair Design. He was an educator for the
Mario Tricoci Salons during their genesis and for many years thereafter. . He has an insiders
sense of the industry from a variety of vantage points and brings invaluable wisdom and
knowledge to this company. Carlo Costanzo is also a cosmetology educator with experience
in business management. We believe this team and others who, with equally qualified resumes,
will make this venture and extremely successful one. We fully expect our growing reputation to
lead students to our doors to support our anticipated growth.
Eric Alexander will, upon commencement of operations, provide thorough, quality
cosmetology education in the areas of hair styling, coloring, perming, relaxing as well as in
esthetics. As per the state of Illinois requirements, all services rendered are provided by the stu-
dents. These students are supervised at all times by a licensed cosmetology instructor. What
will set Eric Alexander apart from the competition of other cosmetology schools will be offer-
ing education provided by highly experienced and educated teachers at an affordable price to
the student.
Eric Alexander wants to set itself apart from other cosmetology schools by focusing on
relationships and values and by keeping tuitions affordable to the general population, thus wel-
come a more diversified student body which will accurately reflect our growing community.
There certainly exists other cosmetology schools in the area, perhaps larger and with
more frills. We do not intend to compete with such large companies. It is also possible to find
somewhat more affordable education but at the expense of not having such experienced educa-
tors. We wish to offer a middle ground for students who cannot afford the high expense that
accompanies such ornate settings, but who want the assurance they are being taught by people
who know the technical skills of cosmetology and the beauty industry as a whole. We believe
our size, both in building and staff is just right to accomplish our mission of blending quality
with affordability.
Our atmosphere will be a relaxing and manageable one for both the students and the
clients who will be serviced by the students. The atmosphere and daily working operations will
be similar in fashion to an upscale area salon.
Our marketing strategy is an uncomplicated one: word of mouth is our business' best
advertising. We will seek to partner with area salons who wish to have people educated with
the sole intent to work for them when the student graduates. The advantage is to both the
student and the salon owner. Area high schools will also benefit from being able to offer
another vocational school in the area for interested students, once again with a tuition that is
more easily attained by the average working family. We have a plan in place to offer salons and
schools a scholarship program as added incentive to the potential students.
Eric Alexander will be organized and managed in a way that will promote student
confidence and awareness. The climate will be conducive to a high degree of personal develop-
ment allowing for future economic success for its' graduates as they enter the cosmetology field
fully prepared to meet demands of daily salon life. Training classes for its' employees will
continue on a regular basis to ensure our educators remain informed of changes and progression
throughout the beauty industry.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
'bb. \--t~
~1't.IoC"
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
AUGUST 12, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-23-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (GYM)
50 E. NORTHWEST HWY
JOHN ANDERSON - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-23-05, a request to
operate a gym, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the
request at their July 28, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is located on the north side of Northwest Highway, between Emerson and Main Streets.
The Subject Property, known as the "Lofts & Shops" is a mixed use development and includes approximately
20,950 square feet of retail/commercial space on the first floor and 34 condominiums (total) on the second and
third floors. The Petitioner proposes to modify the interior of the 2,934 sq. ft. tenant space and operate a gym.
The Petitioner proposes to market the facility primarily to residents of the Lofts & Shops building, people who
live in the downtown area, and commuters who take the train. The Petitioner stated that most of the clients would
walk to the facility because they live in close proximity to the facility or use their existing parking space.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed whether the parking situation was sufficient. Also, questions were
raised as to the nature of the business. The Petitioner testified that all of the employees would park in the deck,
which is only located a block from the proposed gym. In addition, the Petitioner stated that the business is
marketed to people already in the downtown area or who commute via Metra. The P&Z questioned if the 25
pieces of equipment would be in use at the same time. The Petitioner explained that the gym offers circuit
training and they switch machines throughout a 30-minute exercise routine. Usually, Monday, Wednesday and
Friday are the most popular days. If a customer asks, the Petitioner will suggest that people schedule their
workouts on days that are not as busy.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a request for a
Conditional Use permit to operate a gym at 50 E. Northwest HWY, Case No. PZ-23-05, subject to the condition
that all Commuter Fitness employees park in the municipal parking deck.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
August 16, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the June 23, 2005 meeting and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0.
At 7:46 PM Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-23-05 a request for Conditional Use approval for a Gym at 50 E.
Northwest Highway. She said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Claire Sloan, Neighborhood Planner, summarized the request. She said the subject property is located on the
north side of Northwest Highway, between Emerson and Main Streets. The Subject Property, known as the
"Lofts & Shops" is a mixed use development and includes approximately 20,950 square feet of retail/commercial
space on the first floor and 34 condominiums (total) on the second and third floors. The Subject Property is zoned
B5C Downtown Commercial Core Planned Unit Development and is bordered by the B5C district to the north,
east, and west and by the Union Pacific (Metra) rail road tracks to the south. The Petitioner proposes to modify
the interior of the 2,934 sq. ft. tenant space and operate a gym. The attached information includes a floor plan for
the operation and indicates that the facility will include cardiovascular machines, a free weight area, exercise
machines, and a locker room. The locker room will have showers, lockers, and restrooms. The Petitioner
proposes to market the facility primarily to residents of the Lofts & Shops building, people who live in the
downtown area, and commuters who take the train. The Petitioner's application states that the clients would walk
to the facility because they live in close proximity to the facility or use their existing parking space (i.e.
commuters who drive to the train).
PZ-23-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005

Ms. Sloan reported that the Subject Property previously obtained Conditional Use approval in 1999 for a Planned
Unit Development, mixed use facility. The Subject Property includes 34 residential units and 10 commercial
tenant spaces. Shortly after the Lofts & Shops mixed-use project was approved, the developer entered into an
agreement with the Village and leases 40 parking spaces in the Village's parking deck. Employees who work in
the Lofts & Shop development are required to park in the Village parking deck to ensure the surface and street
parking lot is available for customers.
The Lofts & Shops site includes an underground parking garage for the residential units. Currently, while the site
is under construction, there are 49 surfaces spaces for the Lofts & Shops, neighboring office space, restaurant, and
bakery as well as 21 on street parking spaces. In addition, the Village parking deck, located less than one block
from the Subject property, has 383 free parking spaces available to downtown shoppers. A free valet service
parks vehicles in the parking deck during peak dining hours, which ensures the Village parking deck is used for
'longer trips' and that the surface lot spaces are turned over quickly by people making 'short trips' to the mixed
use development or the neighboring businesses.
Staff reviewed the parking situation and found that the proposed gym requires 7 parking spaces to comply with
Zoning Ordinance requirements (5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. then divided in half because it is located downtown).
However, the development was approved with a retail use in mind, which requires 12 parking spaces (4/1,000 sq.
ft.). Therefore, the proposed gym will have a less intense impact on the Lofts & Shops development and the
neighboring properties because it requires fewer parking spaces.
Ms. Sloan reported that the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section l4.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The
following list is a summary of these findings: the Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the
public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; the Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use,
enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village
streets; and compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions ofthe Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the proposed use. However, Staff has
concerns regarding the parking situation. Ms. Sloan reported that the Petitioner is marketing the gym to people
who already live in the downtown area or will already be in the area for another purpose, such as taking the train.
In theory, the use will not generate new and/or additional vehicle trips to the site. The Petitioner states in the
attached application that he anticipates needing less than 1 space for every 10 customers and that the peak usage
times would vary. Based on the fact that the gym is geared toward commuters, it is reasonable to anticipate peak
usage times during the morning and evening commutes. Since LePeep closes at 2pm, there would not be a
parking conflict in the evening (per Zoning regulations, 30 parking spaces would be available). However, the
free valet service is available during the lunch and evening dining hours for people who are not interested in
parking in the Village parking deck when surface parking is not available. Since there are alternatives to the
surface and street parking (free valet service, parking deck less than 1000' from the site) and the fact that the use
will be marketed to people who will already be in the downtown area, it is reasonable to conclude that Commuter
Express patrons will not create a parking deficiency for the site.
Ms. Sloan said the proposed gym meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion: "to approve a Conditional Use permit to allow a gym to operate, as detailed in the
Petitioner's application, at 50 E. Northwest Highway, Case No. PZ-23-05, subject to the condition that the
Commuter Fitness employees park in the municipal parking deck." Ms. Sloan said that the Village Board's
decision is final for this case.

Richard Rogers asked staff how many employees would be working at the facility and if a traffic study was
completed for this case. Ms. Sloan replied that the applicant would be able to answer how many employees
would be working at the gym and that a traffic study was not completed.
Ms. Jurack wanted clarification on planning staffs concern of the parking situation. Ms. Sloan noted the
sensitivity of available parking in a downtown district and said staff just wanted to take extra care. She stated that
the original use for this location was retail and that this gym would require less parking than was originally
intended and wanted to make sure that was clearly stated and understood.
John Anderson, the applicant, was sworn in. He thanked the commission for the opportunity to propose his
business, Commuter Fitness. He described that his customer base would consist of people living in condos in the
area that do not have an existing fitness centers and train commuters. He further explained that equipment layout
for Commuter Express is set up for circuit training that typically takes 45 minutes to an hour to work out and that
his customers would be in and out within one hour to one hour and fifteen minutes. He knows that parking is an
issue in the area and said this would not be a problem for his business because his customer base would be
coming down from the condominiums or were already parked for the train station. He also said that he would
have 3 employees at a maximum at all hours of operation and that his employees would use the municipal parking
deck. Mr. Anderson closed his presentation by saying that he was planning to use the same signage that the
jeweler next door uses and would be in compliance with Village code.

TO:
MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
ARLENE JURACEK, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE:
JULY 21,2005
HEARING DATE:
JUL Y 28, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-23-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (GYM)
50 E. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY (COMMUTER FITNESS)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the July 28,2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by John Anderson / Commuter Fitness Gym (the "Petitioner") regarding the tenant space located at 50
E. Northwest Highway (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking Conditional Use approval to allow a
gym. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the July 13,2005 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 north side of Northwest Highway, between Emerson and Main Streets.
The Subject Property, known as the "Lofts & Shops" is a mixed use development and includes approximately
20,950 square feet of retail/commercial space on the first floor and 34 condominiums (total) on the second and
third floors. The Subject Property is zoned B5C Downtown Commercial Core Planned Unit Development and is
bordered by the B5C district to the north, east, and west and by the Union Pacific (Metra) rail road tracks to the
south.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to modify the interior of the 2,934 sq. ft. tenant space and operate a gym. The attached
information includes a floor plan for the operation and indicates that the facility will include cardiovascular
machines, a free weight area, exercise machines, and a locker room. The locker room will have showers, lockers,
and restrooms. The Petitioner proposes to market the facility primarily to residents of the Lofts & Shops building,
people who live in the downtown area, and commuters who take the train. The Petitioner's application states that
the clients would walk to the facility because they live in close proximity to the facility or use their existing
parking space (i.e. commuters who drive to the train).
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property obtained Conditional Use approval in 1999 for a Planned Unit Development, mixed use
facility. The Subject Property includes 34 residential units and 10 commercial tenant spaces. Shortly after the
Lofts & Shops mixed-use project was approved, the developer entered into an agreement with the Village and
PZ-23-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28,2005
Page 3
leases 40 parking spaces in the Village's parking deck. Employees who work in the Lofts & Shop development
are required to park in the Village parking deck to ensure the surface and street parking lot is available for
customers.
The Lofts & Shops site includes an underground parking garage for the residential units. Currently, while the site
is under construction, there are 49 surfaces spaces for the Lofts & Shops, neighboring office space, restaurant, and
bakery as well as 21 on street parking spaces. In addition, the Village parking deck, located less than one block
from the Subject property, has 383 free parking spaces available to downtown shoppers. A free valet service
parks vehicles in the parking deck during peak dining hours, which ensures the Village parking deck is used for
'longer trips' and that the surface lot spaces are turned over quickly by people making 'short trips' to the mixed
use development or the neighboring businesses.
Staff reviewed the parking situation and found that the proposed gym requires 7 parking spaces to comply with
Zoning Ordinance requirements (5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. then divided in half because it is located downtown).
However, the development was approved with a retail use in mind, which requires 12 parking spaces (4/1,000 sq.
ft.). Therefore, the proposed gym will have a less intense impact on the Lofts & Shops development and the
neighboring properties because it requires fewer parking spaces.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a
summary of these findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
. The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development ofthose properties;
. Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
. Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the proposed use. However, Staff has
concerns regarding the parking situation.
The Petitioner is marketing the gym to people who already live in the downtown area or will already be in the
area for another purpose, such as taking the train. In theory, the use will not generate new and/or additional
vehicle trips to the site. The Petitioner states in the attached application that he anticipates needing less than 1
space for every 10 customers and that the peak usage times would vary. Based on the fact that the gym is geared
toward commuters, it is reasonable to anticipate peak usage times during the morning and evening commutes.
Since LePeep closes at 2pm, there would not be a parking conflict in the evening (per Zoning regulations, 30
parking spaces would be available). However, the free valet service is available during the lunch and evening
dining hours for people who are not interested in parking in the Village parking deck when surface parking is not
available. Since there are alternatives to the surface and street parking (free valet service, parking deck less than
1000' from the site) and the fact that the use will be marketed to people who will already be in the downtown
area, it is reasonable to conclude that Commuter Express patrons will not create a parking deficiency for the site.

RECOMMENDATION
The proposed gym meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the
following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit to allow a gym to operate, as detailed in the Petitioner's
application, at 50 E. Northwest Highway, Case No. PZ-23-05, subject to the condition that the Commuter
Fitness employees park in the municipal parking deck."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
I concur:

COMMUTER FITNESS
Retail Health/Fitness Store & Exercise Center
DOWNTOWN MOUNT PROSPECT
For the Downtown Mount Prospect Northwest Highway property, I propose an upscale
retail health/fitness store and exercise center to be named COMMUTER FITNESS. The
retail outlet will feature health food, fitness bars, fitness drinks, and fitness clothing. The
exercise center will feature an aerobic work out and strength training circuit.
The retail and exercise center will be targeting Mount Prospect residents, the 300 plus
new condominium residents, Northwest Highway drive by traffic, and the 3,000 plus
daily commuters that want to spend their money in Mount Prospect to improve their
health and appearance in a short period of time for a small amount of money.
The value added to the community and it's residents is a retail and training center that
offers better health and appearance at a reasonable price, in a short period of time, in a
convenient location. COMMUTER FITNESS will fill a niche helping local sales of up
scale condos and draw the attention of fast paced potential shoppers to the downtown
Mount Prospect area.
COMMUTER FITNESS
Estimated Parking Burden
The primary customers of the Fitness center will be the Northwestern commuters
and the upscale condominium residents. Both groups require no additional parking. The
commuters will either be dropped off or use the same parking that they would have used
with or without a workout at Commuter Fitness. The condominium residents live within
walking distance and also would require no additional parking.
The only additional parking required would be Mount Prospect residents or drive
by traffic. As for employees, they will park wherever is most convenient for the village
You can't work for a fitness center and be afraid to walk a few blocks twice a day.
Therefore the sum total of estimated parkin!:! burden for Commuter Fitness
would be between one or two cars at one time. The rest ofthe customers will use their
existing parking or walk to their fitness center.
The estimated number of customers will vary from hour to hour, but in all cases
for every 10 customers only one will require an additional parking space. At the same
time, all ten new customers will provide ten additional potential customers to be shared
with the local businesses. Ten new potential customers for one less parking space
seems like a good deal for everyone involved.
It is a good deal for the local businesses. It is also a good deal for Mount Prospect
residents and commuters. Customers get to feel better, look better, and live longer and
healthier, thanks in part to the location, convenience, and effectiveness of Mount
Prospect's Commuter Fitness.
COMMUTER FITNESS
Marketing Strategy
The initial, marketing strategy will focus primarily on the effectiveness of the fitness
training circuit and the convenience of the times and location for the customers. The
marketing message will be communicated via brochures and fliers given to the over 300
new condominium owners and over 3,000 Chicago & Northwestern commuters.
Marketine: Messae:e
The initial marketing message will be:
Look Better,
Feel Better,
Live Longer,
Work-out at
Near-by,
Convenient,
Commuter Fitness
Tare:et Customers
Our target customers will include both male and female, aged 25 and up, that are looking
for a work out opportunity that is within walking distance from their home or on the way
to and from their daily commute. We anticipate minimal "drive by" and "drive to"
traffic. Our primary customers will either live within walking distance or already be
parked for their commute.
Maior Selline: Points
The convenience oftime and location will be strong selling points for potential members.
The major selling point will be the cultural emphasis on physical fitness, the personal
gains in better appearance, better health, and a better quality of life.

FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
AUGUST 12, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-25-05 - TEXT AMENDMENT (SIGN CODE)
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-25-05, a request to
amend the Sign Code to allow sidewalk signs in the B5 and B5C zoning districts, and to permit the use of
projecting signs in the expanded "Special Area of Control" in combination with a wall sign, as described in detail
in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their July 28, 2005 meeting.
The two text amendments are applicable to the B5 and B5C zoning districts only. The amendment regarding
sidewalk signs would add sidewalk signs as another type of Special Sign and would allow one sidewalk sign per
business. The other amendment would amend Exhibit 1 which identifies the Special Area of Control to expand
the Special Area of Control. The proposed change would allow all businesses within the Special Area of Control
to have a projecting sign in combination with a smaller wall sign.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed their approval of the use of sidewalk signs in the downtown area,
but stated concerns regarding projecting signs. The Commission's major concerns regarding projecting signs
were related to the aesthetics of the signs and how the projecting sign might adversely impact the appearance of
the downtown district. They decided to approve the use of projecting signs downtown with the condition that the
signs obtain conditional use approval prior to applying for a sign permit.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the text
amendment requests for changes to the downtown sign regulations for the B5 and B5C districts, Case No. PZ-25-
05, subject to the following conditions/modifications:
"That conditional use approval is required for all projecting signs (regardless ofthe zoning district)."
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
August 16, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the June 23, 2005 meeting and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0.
At 9:22 p.m. Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-26-05 a request for text amendments to the Village Sign Code.
She said that this case would be Village Board Final.
Christina Park, Planning Intern, reviewed the Staff Memo on behalf of the Village. Ms. Park said that this case is
regarding proposed changes to the downtown sign regulations. This case evolved from a request by the Chamber
of Commerce and the Downtown Merchants Association that the Village permit downtown businesses the use of
sidewalk signs. Staff took a comprehensive look at downtown signage and determined that downtown businesses
have less signage opportunity than businesses in other commercial districts. Staff then took this issue to the
Committee of the Whole Meeting on June 14, 2005 where three items were put up for consideration: directional
kiosks, sidewalk signs, and projecting signs. The Village Board was supportive of all three items and directed
Staff to draft the necessary text amendments and bring it to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ms. Park said that the first issue, the use of directional kiosks downtown, does not require any changes to the
current Sign Code. She said that directional kiosks would be permitted as "notice boards" under the sign code.
Directional kiosks would be used to identify downtown businesses and upcoming Village events and would be
located at the train station and other downtown sites. The Village currently has a Downtown Signage Program
that was adopted in 2003 by the Village Board. This document includes examples of "Village Kiosks" and
PZ-25-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005
Page 2
proposes locations for their placement. Staff also took a look at examples of directional kiosks in other nearby
communities, including Glenview, which uses these types of sign at The Glen.
The other changes that Staff is proposing both require text amendments. These changes include 1) permitting all
businesses in the downtown the use of sidewalk signs, 2) expanding the geographic area denoted in the ordinace
as the "Special Area of Control" to permit projecting signs in a greater area and 3) permitting the use of projecting
signs in combination with smaller wall signs.
Staff performed extensive research on the use of sidewalk signs in the communities surrounding the Village. Few
communities allow sidewalk signs, although several permit them downtown. Most municipalities do not have any
specific regulations regarding these types of signs and many look the other way when businesses use them. Staff
also found that the Village Plans, including the Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown TIF Plan, support the use
of special signage as a way to create Village identity and promote downtown businesses.
The text amendment that Staff is proposing has provisions that would regulate the use of sidewalk signs in a
number of ways. First, only one (1) sign would be permitted per business and they would be limited in size to
four (4) feet in height with a maximum of two (2) sign faces, six (6) square feet each. Sidewalk signs would be
permitted in the B5 and B5C zoning districts and must be placed a maximum of one (1) foot from the building to
ensure they are geared towards pedestrians. These signs would be permitted during business hours only and
would be prohibited during times of snow, high winds, or when the signs would impede the movement of
pedestrians. Permitting and Insurance was another issue. Staff is recommending that a permit only be required
when the sign is placed on public property at which time a business would need to provide the Village with proof
of all necessary insurance.
The second text amendment would change Exhibit 1 of the Sign Code thereby expanding the "Special Area of
Control." This change would expand the use of projecting signs to all areas zoned B5 and B5C. The amendment
would also permit businesses the use of a combination of projecting signs and wall signs, provided that the wall
sign does note exceed 25 percent, instead of 50 percent, of the signable area. The intention of this change is to
increase visibility for downtown businesses. Staff also looked at examples of this combination of signs in
surrounding communities such as Glenview.
Ms. Park then briefly summarized the proposed changes and said that Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the text amendments as written as they meet the standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
This case is Village Board final.
Ronald Roberts asked whether Staffs recommendations would permit the projecting and sidewalk signs to be
illuminated. Ms. Park responded that illumination of sidewalk signs would not be permitted, but illumination of
projecting signs in already permitted. Mr. Roberts then asked if in Glenview, where examples during the
presentation were shown, exceptions are made for The Glen that allow businesses to use these types of signs. Ms.
Park stated that the Village of Glenview works with management at The Glen and may make certain exceptions
for this development.
Richard Rogers asked how the Village plans on policing signs in the downtown area. Ms. Park explained that the
Community Development Department has an employee in charge of sign enforcement who polices the Village,
especially the community's main corridors. He would be in charge of enforcing any new sign regulations.
Arlene Juracek asked about the maximum width of the projecting signs at four (4) feet. She noted that it seemed
large and asked about the size of the current projecting signs downtown. Ms. Park estimated that the local
projecting sign examples shown are all four (4) feet in width. She also explained that in areas where the frontage
may be narrower, the code states that the sign can only project to within 2 feet of the curb line.
PZ-25-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005
Page 3
Mr. Roberts again asked about illumination in regards to projecting signs. Ms. Divita clarified that what Staff is
proposing is only that the area permitted to use projecting signs downtown be expanded and that projecting signs
be permitted in combination with smaller wall signs. Staff is not recommending that changes to the projecting
sign regulations be made.
Joseph Donnelly voiced concerns that every business downtown would install a projecting sign if the amendment
is approved and that in certain areas, such as along Northwest Highway, the street will look very busy. Ms. Divita
responded that these types of signs do create a certain character in a downtown district and that combination of
projecting and wall signs would decrease wall signage downtown. She also noted that projecting signs are most
often placed higher on buildings, where they appear much smaller, and that they are especially helpful for
pedestrians trying to identify businesses.
Mr. Roberts said he was concerned that if all of the businesses use projecting signs it will alter the new streetscape
downtown. Ms. Juracek noted that other municipalities have appearance standards for signs and expressed her
feeling that the Commission would be more comfortable if the Village had similar standards in place. The
Commission discussed various ways that projecting signs could be aesthetically regulated and ways the signs
could be made more uniform. Mr. Rogers said that they also had to be conscious of the fact that some major
roads run through the downtown and they have to keep automobile safety in mind. Mr. Roberts said that he had
additional concerns regarding sidewalk signs and how they will affect the appearance of downtown.
Ms. Divita once again noted that Staff was only proposing the expansion of the area permitted to use projecting
signs and that they be permitted in combination with smaller wall signs. Ms. Park noted that some of the areas the
Commission was concerned about are already permitted to use projecting signs, but are choosing not to.
Tom Zander, with Picket Fence Realty, was sworn in. Mr. Zander spoke briefly about efforts being made by the
Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Merchants Association, and the Village to promote the downtown. He
noted that the groups are working to try and create a more pedestrian friendly downtown and that the merchants
support Staff's recommendations regarding changes to downtown signage.
Jim Uzler, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce, was sworn in. He said that he
agreed with Mr. Zander's remarks and noted that the merchants are trying to make the downtown better for
pedestrians. He also said that the merchants want to be able to use tasteful signs to help them survive in the midst
of downtown redevelopment.
Rita Dauphinee, a member of the Downtown Merchants Association, was sworn in. She said that she spoke with
Michael Martin, the owner of Le Peep Restaurant, and that he told her that when he was told by the Village to
remove his sidewalk sign he saw an immediate decrease in daily sales, though business has since improved.
Ms. Juracek verified with Staff the details of their recommendation. Mr. Rogers said that his concerns are only
with projecting sign, not sidewalk signs. He said he wants some kind of appearance board or uniformity among
the signs. Ms. Juracek asked if provisions could be added to the projecting sign regulations regarding
construction and maintenance. Ms. Park responded that these types of regulations already exist in the sign code
that apply to all signs. Ms. Juracek asked if Staff felt they had the power to remove signs they deemed "gaudy" or
"inappropriate." Ms. Divita said she would like to defer to the Village Attorney for that question. She said that
she had considered the idea of making projecting signs a conditional use. She clarified with the commission if
they wanted to see conditional use review on all projecting signs or in cases where projecting signs were being
used in combination with wall signs. The Commission expressed consensus for the former: conditional use
review for all projecting signs.
PZ-25-05

Page 4
The Commission discussed how to vote on the issues. Ms. Park clarified that only the text amendments regarding
sidewalk signs and projecting signs need to be voted on. The directional kiosk issue was for informational
purposes only.
Ms. Juracek asked if there were any questions from the audience. There were none and the Public Hearing was
closed.
Richard Rogers made a motion to recommend that the Village Board approve the amendments as written with the
caveat that all projecting signs be made a conditional use. Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. Chairman
Juracek closed the hearing at 10:01 p.m.

SUBJECT:
PZ-25-05: TEXT AMENDMENTS (DOWNTOWN SIGN REGULATIONS)
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
A public hearing has been scheduled for the July 28, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by the Village of Mount Prospect (the "Petitioner") regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 7 of
the Village's Code, concerning sign regulations for the B5 and B5C zoning districts (Sections 7.205, 7.325, and
7.335). The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the July 13,2005 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper.
BACKGROUND
The Downtown Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce have requested that the Village allow
downtown businesses to use freestanding sidewalk signs. Recognizing that businesses in the B5 and B5C zoning
classifications (downtown) do not always have the same opportunity for signageas businesses in other zoning
classes, Staff felt it merited further research and therefore took a comprehensive look at downtown signage (see
attached Committee of the Whole Summary Memo). The issue was discussed at the Committee of the Whole on
June 14,2005 where the following three items were put up for consideration:
1. Use of pedestrian oriented sidewalk signs in the B5 and B5C zoning districts
2. Expanded use of projecting signs downtown
3. Kiosk signage at the train station
The Village Board was supportive of all three items and directed Staff to perform further research and prepare the
necessary text amendments before bringing it to the July P&Z (see attached meeting minutes). Staff is proposing
two text amendments that would change sign regulations for all businesses in the B5 and B5C zoning districts.
The amendments would permit downtown businesses to use sidewalk signs and projecting signs. Provisions
already exist in the code that would permit the Village to install informational/directional kiosks at the train
station and other downtown locations.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
As noted previously, the proposed text amendments would affect two different sections of the Village Code: Section
7.325 - Special Signs and Section 7.335 - Special Area of Control. The Village Sign Code already has provisions that
would permit the Village to install directional kiosks downtown (see Section 7.205.J below).
PZ-25-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005
Page 2
7.205 EXEMPT SIGNS
J. Notice Boards: Notice boards for public or religions institutions or other uses as approved by the Director
and primarily intended for pedestrians.
Kiosks can be classified as notice boards as they would be installed by the Village and would benefit pedestrians
downtown. In addition, the Village already has a plan in place that illustrates example kiosks. The Downtown
Signage Program, which was adopted in 2003 by the Village Board, includes designs for the downtown
directional signs already in place as well as "Village Kiosks" that would identify downtown businesses and other
Village events (see Exhibit 3). The Plan also indicates three potential locations for the placement of these kiosks
(see Exhibit 4).
To allow downtown businesses the use of sidewalk signs, Staffrecommends that Section 7.325 be amended to
create a new section as follows:
7.325 SPECIAL SIGNS
J. Sidewalk Signs
The Director of Community Development is authorized to issue permits for the use of public
property for sidewalk signs, subject to the following conditions:
1. Sidewalk Signs: Signs placed on sidewalks for the purpose of advertising businesses on
property adjoining the building.
2. Permits: A Sidewalk Sign Permit shall be required prior to placing a sidewalk sign on
public property. Sidewalk signs placed on private property do not require a permit.
Permits issued hereunder shall be valid from January 1st or the date of the permit issuance,
whichever is later, through December 31st ofthe same year (Refer to Appendix A for
permit fees). Applicant must provide proof of insurance as specified below prior to issuance
of a Sidewalk Sign Permit.
The Village may suspend or revoke a Sidewalk Sign Permit or request the removal of a
sidewalk sign placed on private property, to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
Where a sidewalk sign violates any provision of the Mount Prospect Village Code, the
permittee shall immediately after notification correct such violation.
2. Number of Signs: Only one sidewalk sign shall be permitted per business establishment,
except that public service signs (i.e., signs indicating the curb location of valet parking) may
be permitted in addition to the one sign per business establishment.
3. Use of Signs: Sidewalk signs may only be displayed during business hours and must be
removed at the close of each business day. Sidewalk signs may not be displayed during
times of high winds, snow, or when sidewalks are congested and the placement of a sign
may impede the movement of people.
4. Location: Sidewalk signs will only be permitted in the B5 (Central Commercial) and B5C
(Core Central Commercial) zoning districts. The sign shall not unreasonably interfere with
pedestrian or vehicular traffic or with access to parked vehicles, and shall not reduce the
open portion of any sidewalk to less than five feet (5') in width. The sign shall be placed no
more than one foot (1') from the wall of the building, unless the Director of Community
Development approves another location due to other obstructions in the right of way. The
PZ-25-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28,2005
Page 3
sign shall not be attached or affixed to the sidewalk, parkway, poles or any other public
facilities. Sight triangle regulations as defined in Section 7.801 must be met.
A plat of surveyor a site plan shall be submitted with permit applications, indicating the
location of the proposed sign.
5. Size: A sidewalk sign shall be a maximum of four (4) feet in height and the maximum sign
area shall not exceed six (6) square feet per sign face. A maximum of two (2) sign faces are
permitted.
6. Illumination & Attention-Getting Devices: Sidewalk signs shall not be illuminated. No
attention-getting devices, such as balloons, shall be attached to a sidewalk sign
7. Aesthetics & Maintenance: Sidewalks signs shall be high in quality and professionally
constructed of durable materials. Sidewalk Signs shall be properly maintained as provided
for in Section 7.405.
8. Insurance: Sidewalk signs placed on private property are placed at the risk of the owner.
The applicant for a Sidewalk Sign Permit, shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, and
shall maintain in effect during the entire period of the permit, insurance in the following
manner:
a. The following insurance coverage:
1. Worker's Compensation Insurance in at least the required statutory limits;
2. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, including owner's protective
liability insurance and contractual liability insurance covering claims for
personal injury and property damage with limits of at least one million
($1,000,000.00) dollars per occurrence, and one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars
for any single injury; and
3. Prior to issuance of a Sidewalk Sign Permit, the applicant shall provide the
Village with copies of the certificates of insurance for the required insurance
naming the Village as an additional insured party.
4. The required insurance policies shall each provide that they shall not be
changed or cancelled during the life of the Sidewalk Sign Permit until 30 days
after written notice of such change has been delivered to the Village, attention:
Director of Community Development.
5. The permittee shall agree to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Village
from and against any and all injuries, deaths, losses, damages, claims, suits,
liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, consequential or otherwise, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which may in any way arise out of or be connected
with the granting of a Sidewalk Sign Permit, or in any way result therefrom or
from any act or failure to act by the permittee, its agents or employees.
To allow all of the businesses in the B5 and B5C zoning districts the use of projecting signs, Staff recommends
that Exhibit 1- Special Area of Control of Section 7.335 be changed. Exhibit 1 depicts the current area allowed to
use projecting signs. The area is roughly bounded by Central Road, School Street, and Prospect Avenue. Exhibit
PZ-2S-0S
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 200S
Page 4
2 shows the amended map, where the boundary has been expanded to include all downtown businesses in the BS
and BSC zoning districts. In addition, Staff is recommending that businesses within the "Special Area of Control"
be permitted the use of projecting signs in combination with smaller wall signs. Staff recommends that Section
7.33S - Special Area of Control be changed to the following:
7.33S SPECIAL AREA OF CONTROL
The Village Board may designate geographic areas within the Village as a "special area of control" for purposes
of these regulations. A special area of control is an area in which special standards are drafted in order to
incorporate a wider variety of sign design.
A. The Director shall prepare a map showing all designated areas of special control (see Exhibit 1).
B. Areas of special control shall permit the following:
1. Projecting Signs
a. Number: One (1) projecting sign shall be permitted per business establishment. A projecting sign
and a wall sign may be placed on the same wall provided that the projecting sign complies with
Section 7.30S.C.2 through 7.30S.C.S and the area of the wall sign does not exceed twenty-five
percent (2S%) of the signable wall area (as defined in Section 7.801).
b. Location: Projecting signs permitted under these regulations may extend over the public right-of-
way four feet (4') or to within two feet (2') of the curb line, whichever is less (see subsection
7.305.C).
2. Canopies or Awnings
a. Location: Canopies or awnings permitted under these regulations may extend over the public
right-of-way the lesser of five feet (S') or to within two feet (2') of the curb line; provided no
supporting posts, columns, or braces extend beyond the property line.
STANDARDS FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS
Section 14.203.D.8.b lists standards for the P&Z to consider for text amendments to the Zoning Code. The
standards relate to:
· The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
· The degree to which the amendment would create non-conformity;
· The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive;
· Consistency of the amendment with objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan; and
· Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
The proposal to amend the Village's downtown signage regulations would be applicable to the downtown area
because there are physical site constraints that limit opportunities for signage. Many buildings in the BS and BSC
zoning districts are built very close to the property line, which does not allow for a freestanding sign. In addition,
the buildings are positioned parallel to the street, which limits their visibility.
PZ-25-05
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting July 28, 2005
Page 5
The proposed text amendments would make the sign regulations more permissible in only the downtown area.
However, the proposed changes are a result of physical site limitations and the proposed regulations have been
drafted to ensure new signage would not detract from the character of the downtown area. The amendments are
also consistent with other Village Plans and would be consistent with the Village's previous signage
requirements. The Downtown Signage Program includes examples of kiosk signage and the Comprehensive Plan
and the Downtown TIP District Strategic Plan both support the use of special signage downtown.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed text amendments meet the standards contained in Section 14.203.D.8.b of the Zoning Ordinance.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a recommendation to
the Village Board to approve the text amendments as outlined above for case PZ-25-05. The Village Board's
decision is final for this case.

MEMORANDUM
~
TO:
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FROM:
WILLIAM J. COONEY
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JUNE 10, 2005
SUBJECT:
DOWNTOWN SIGN REGULATIONS
The Downtown Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce have requested that the
Village allow downtown businesses the use of freestanding sidewalk signs. Representatives
from both organizations plan to attend the June 14th COW meeting and would be available to
discuss with you the benefits of using sidewalk signs and their experiences with them.
Recognizing that businesses in the B5 and B5C zoning classifications (downtown) do not always
have the same opportunity for signage as businesses in other zoning classes, Staff felt the request
merited research and consideration by the Village Board. Outlined here are several items for the
Committee's consideration:
1. Use of pedestrian oriented sidewalk signs in the B5 and B5C zoning districts
2. Expanded use of projecting signs downtown
3. Kiosk signage at the Train Station
Justification for Consideration
Businesses located in the B5 and B5C districts have less opportunity for signage than is found
elsewhere in the Village. Unlike commercial properties in an auto-oriented shopping center
where buildings are set back from the road, downtown stores are close to the street and the
development scale caters to pedestrians. In downtown Mount Prospect, there is not always room
for a freestanding ground sign as the code requires placement of these to be at least 5 feet from
the property line. Wall signs are allowed downtown but such signage is not always visible from a
traveling car or by a pedestrian standing directly underneath the sign. Hanging perpendicular
signs, which could help remedy the situation, are allowed downtown, but only in a small area
(Village Code 7.335: SPECIAL AREA OF CONTROL, Exhibit 1).
Both the Village's Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown TIF District Strategic Plan support
the use of special signage in the downtown district. Planning guidelines in both documents
recognize that signage can help:
. Provide a strong and positive Village image
. Improve the character and appearance of the commercial environment
. Emphasize the role of downtown as a vibrant social and visual focal point for the
community
. Create an attractive and comfortable downtown for pedestrians
. Enhance identity and way-finding clarity
Rather than focusing solely on the request for sidewalk signs, staff believes it would be prudent
to take a more comprehensive look and to ensure the most effective downtown signage is
available to our businesses. As noted above, this would include:
1) Expanding the area within which projecting signs may be used to include all B5 and
B5 C zoned properties. (Exhibit 7 of this memorandum)
2) Construction of an information kiosk at the train station to be used to identify
downtown businesses and upcoming events.
The issue of permitting sidewalk signs in the B5 and B5C Districts is more complex than it may
seem at first blush. First, few communities allow these signs so little knowledge exists in the
Chicago area as to liability and effectiveness. Second, the request from the business community
includes the caveat that sidewalk signs be permitted away from the building, which contradicts
the planning philosophy that sidewalk signs communicate best with pedestrians. Staff presents
to the Board the following research and considerations to be used in weighing the use of
sidewalk signs.
Planning Goals
In considering any change to the current Sign Code, the purpose of sign control as outlined in the
Sign Code (Exhibit 2) should be considered, as well as these planning goals:
. Ensure pedestrian safety - Signs should not be so large to obstruct view of the
sidewalk from a wheelchair, or allow a person to hide behind. Signs should be placed
within 12 inches of the building; this will help identify the door of the establishment and
limit risk of injury from someone entering a parked automobile at curbside.
. Meet Federal ADA Requirements - The Federal ADA requirements state that a
minimum of 36 inches clear is needed to accommodate 1 wheelchair passage and 60
inches for 2 wheelchairs to pass. Also, 60 inches is needed for 1 wheelchair to make a
180 degree turn. The maximum height for a service counter is 36 inches because 34
inches is approximately chest level for most wheelchair bound individuals. Dimensions
of an adult wheel chair are 26 x 48 inches.
. Create a pedestrian friendly atmosphere - Signs would assist business owners in
appealing to the pedestrian and inviting them in to the store. Sidewalk signs are not
effective in communicating to a person within a traveling automobile.
. Limit liability - The Village should be indemnified from all liability from signs on
public property; use of the signs on private property is at the risk of the property owner.
· Maintain integrity of the downtown architecture and streetscape - Signs should be
of a high quality, durable material, and must be professionally fabricated. Hand written
messages would only be allowed on a chalkboard, such as to advertise a daily special.
Only 1 sign would be allowed per door per building so as to avoid clutter.
· Maintain a healthy business climate - Additional signage, used effectively, will assist
business owners in growing their clientele.
Research
The attached table (Exhibit 3) summarizes research on the use of sidewalk signs. Staff
researched sidewalk sign regulations in the communities surrounding the Village, calling each
and reading their sign codes. Staff also contacted other communities in the Chicago area and
out-of-state known to allow such signs, and studied various Village Plans and Ordinances to
determine if the documents would support the use of sidewalk signs.
The research identified several key findings:
· Few municipalities in the area allow businesses to use sidewalk signs, although several
do allow them as temporary signs.
· Most communities do not have specific regulations for sidewalk signs in their
ordinances.
· Some communities in the metro area, such as Geneva, St. Charles, Naperville and
Aurora do successfully allow businesses to use sidewalk signs in their downtown.
· Slightly more than half ofthose ordinances allowing the signs require a permit.
Sign Criteria
Staff considered several components of sidewalk signs needing regulation to ensure pedestrian
safety and meet the Planning Goals outlined above. These are outlined in exhibit 6 and include:
1. Placement
Sidewalk signs would be allowed in the B5 and B5C Zoning Districts as these properties
have less opportunity for signage. Only 1 sign should be allowed per street side door to
eliminate clutter. The sight triangle and pedestrian clearance must be maintained. Signs
should be placed adjacent to the building (not be more than 12 inches from the building)
not curbside. At least 5 feet of unobstructed sidewalk must be maintained around each
SIgn.
Sidewalk signage can enhance a pedestrian oriented shopping district, but is ineffective
for use in communicating to a moving vehicle: research shows at a speed of 35 mph or
greater, letters on a sign would need to be 6 inches or higher to be legible (U.S.
Department of the Interior). For safety reasons, Staff recommends a maximum size of2'
x 3' sign. This would allow 3 lines of copy with a maximum of 8 characters on each.
2. Times of Use
Signs are only to be displayed during business hours, and would not be allowed at times
of high wind, snow events, or when they could be a hazard, as outlined in the sample
ordinance.
3. Permitting
Sign regulations will be applied to all sidewalk signs; however, permits will only be
required for those on public property.
4. Aesthetics
It is important that these signs be of high quality and be professionally constructed of
durable material. The Village will reserve the right to deny the use of a sign not meeting
these minimal design criteria or that is not properly maintained as provided for in Section
7.405.
If the Village Board supports the use of sidewalk signage, please direct staff to take this topic for
consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Please also provide direction to Staff
regarding 1) the expansion of projecting signs throughout the B5 and B5C Districts, and 2)
construction of an information kiosk at the Metra Station.

III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
None.
Village Manager Janonis announced the passing of Village Clerk Velma Lowe and
provided information regarding the times, locations and dates of the services.
IV. TIF - SUB-AREA #1 REDEVELOPMENT OPTION DISCUSSION
Mayor Wilks stated the Village Board is prepared to move forward in some direction,
however, there will be no decision tonight regarding that direction and is intended only to
start the process of discussion.
1
Village Manager Janonis stated that the work of the Board will likely take the next six to
nine months to arrive at a final decision regarding this Area. The Village Board
commissioned DLK Architects to review Sub-Area #1 which is bounded by Northwest
Highway, Route 83 and Busse Avenue. He also stated that representatives from W. B.
Olson have been invited to participate in the discussion regarding cost options and
related up charges likely with each option presented this evening.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney provided an overview of the Area and
summarized the discussions in the Report of the Second Ad Hoc Committee. He stated
discussions regarding the extension and expansion of the TIF are currently under way.
He stated some of the attributes of the existing buildings include the oldest commercial
buildings in the community, currently viable businesses and affordable rents. He said
the challenges that await any redevelopment include minimal private investment, limited
functionality of existing structures including structural obsolescence, stagnant property
values and lack of parking.
Charlie Freidlander of DLK provided an overview of all the options that had been
drafted by DLK Architecture.
Option A, which contains the most preservation and the most likely significant cost
premiums, was presented.
Dave Olson of W. B. Olson stated the cost impacts would be significant related to
construction staging and the required steps to save the front of the buildings and support
them from behind.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney stated that Option A provides limited
retail value and tends to maximize residential units.
Option B includes a single, five story structure with underground parking with a
basement next to the buildings that are recommended for saving under this Option.
There is some retail included and this is the smallest overall change to the Area but
highly the highest cost per square foot.
Option C contains two main retail parcels with surface parking for retail. The
underground parking would not be part of the support for the retail operations. There
would be foundation retention expenses.
Option 0 would have the same retail issues as Option C, however, it includes more retail
in the small triangle and more underground parking.
Option E includes a large retail operation in the small triangle and Busse would be the
surface parking area.
Option F is a combination plan but also limits the additional cost that would include cost
for upgrades of the buildings that would be retained. There would also be issues with
modifying the existing buildings versus building new and the additional costs associated
with such modifications would be higher than building new.
2
Dave Olson also stated that the facades could be duplicated with new materials to get
an old-time look versus trying to retain the existing materials and there would be some
difference that would be noticeable. The ability to reconstruct with previous materials
would most likely not yield positive results.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
There was concern voiced about the amount of surface parking for retail and the costs
associated with protecting existing buildings. It was also noted that some businesses
would be driven out due to likely higher rents and currently this area enjoys lower rents
associated with the quality of buildings and location.
Gavin Kleespies, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Historical Society
spoke. He provided historical background on the area and noted that this is the initial
commercial area within Mount Prospect and feels it defines Mount Prospect character.
David Lindgren, Chair of the Economic Development Commission spoke. He
stated that the Commission is planning to meet this week to discuss development
options and would forward the Commission's recommendation to the Board after the
meeting.
Jean Reibel, Four North Pine Street, a local architect, feels that the combining of
Options A and B with all new along Northwest Highway could be an option to consider.
Tom Neitzke, owner of the business at 22 West Busse, spoke. He would prefer that
everything be left alone as is. He stated he has concerns that just because the buildings
have limited architectural value does not mean they have no value and stated that this
Area allows lower rents for small business to start out and survive.
Mike Reese, owner of the business at 50 West Busse, spoke. He owns His and
Hers Hobbies. He stated he picked downtown Mount Prospect for his business because
of the character of the buildings but did acknowledge they are getting rundown. He
stated himself and several other business people in the Area have been reluctant to
invest in the buildings because they are uncertain of the future of the properties. He
suggested utilizing TIF money to upgrade the buildings.
Jim Uszler, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce,
spoke. He stated it is necessary to get a certain amount of density to make the project
work and felt that preservation of historical buildings could be accomplished through
relocation.
George Busse, 111 South Maple Street, spoke. He stated he is the former Chair of
the Economic Development Commission. He stated the EDC felt the most significant
redevelopment Option was to avoid a canyon effect and maintain some historical
appearance where possible. He stated there is a need to move forward and change.
The Area cannot grow and prosper without change.
Tim Gear, Historical Society Board member and resident, spoke. He stated he is
questioning how an Area is measured as viable and how it is defined.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
3
It was noted that some of the Options have positives which could be combined into
elements of other plans to create hybrid plans. There was also a question regarding the
cost of bringing the buildings up to Code and the ongoing maintenance costs. The
Village Board determined to eliminate Option E from further consideration.
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that discussion will continue regarding what
could work for the entire area.
v. UTILIZATION OF SIGNS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA
Community Development Director Bill Cooney provided a summary of the available
options regarding some changes in downtown signage.
Planning Intern Christine Park presented the information summarizing all the
downtown sign recommendations. The sign types that are recommended are the use of
pedestrian level oriented signs along the sidewalk, extended signs from the buildings in
the B5 and B5C areas and kiosk signs which would include area information about
businesses. She stated the downtown businesses have less opportunity for signage and
staff is recommending the use of projecting signs extending from the buildings so that
the business is more noticeable. The kiosk option is recommended for the train station
which would identify businesses in the area and general interest items. She stated that
most comparable towns do not allow A-frame signs but larger downtowns use A-frame
signs under special circumstances. She stated the recommended criteria would include
one A-frame sign per street side door adjacent to the building with a maximum 12" from
the building and a minimum of five feet of sidewalk unobstructed. These signs are
pedestrian oriented and would only be out during business hours and not during adverse
weather conditions. They would need to be considered high-quality and professionally
constructed and would require a Permit only if on public property.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
A concern was voiced regarding the safety of A-frame signs and the need to clearly
define the quality and design requirements that illustrate the necessary quality. It was
also recommended that a trial period be undertaken and then the program be re-
evaluated after the trial. It was also stated that some clarification may be necessary
regarding the number of signs allowed for businesses that happen to be on corner
property.
Ken Fritz, Mount Prospect resident, spoke. He stated he was involved in drafting the
original Sign Code and felt that these recommendations standardizing the appearance of
signs in the downtown was worthwhile.
Katie Dix, owner of Capannari's Ice Cream and the Chair of the Downtown
Merchants Association, spoke. She stated that utilizing the sign package that is
recommended would encourage a branding concept for the area.
Consensus of the Village Board was to consider the Ordinance as presented by
staff if subsequent and sufficient oversight is included for maintaining the
professional appearance.

VI. VILLAGE HALL ENTRANCE ENHANCEMENTS
Assistant Village Manager David Strahl provided an overview of the proposals drafted
by DLK for Board consideration. These enhancements include installation of banners on
the east wall of the Village Hall including a banner above the main entrance doors of
Emerson Street and the Route 83 side. Another option would be the installation of a
glass panel above the main entrance door. These options also include the installation of
paneling and a camouflage paneling on the fire panel wall in the main stairwell.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
It was noted that the building functions extremely well and the overall block turned out
very well. A shortcoming that has been commented on from c,~;nstituents has focused
on the entrance and the main stairwell. It was suggested that the porch area be
considered a grand entrance which could incorporate the stairwell depending on Code
limitations.
Consensus of the Village Board was to postpone the decision regarding these
proposals presented this evening and to request a design for review and pricing
from DLK regarding main entrance enhancements including improvements of the
portico area.
Village Manager Mike Janonis requested a couple of Elected Officials participate in the
design discussions. Trustee Hoefert and Mayor Wilks volunteered to participate in those
discussions.
VII. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Mike Janonis stated the Farmers' Market is running on Sundays now.
The Lions Club 4th of July Festival is scheduled to begin on June 29 and continue
through July 5.
He also stated there is no need for a Closed Session this evening.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
~. J..t~
&llc. Cj';'
FROM:
ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2005
SUBJECT: COMED EASEMENT AGREEMENT - 100 S. EMERSON SWITC
RELOCATION
Attached is a copy of the ComEd approved easement agreement to move the switchgear
from 100 S. Emerson to a location approximately 250 feet east on the Busse Avenue right-
of-way. The current location of the switchgear is in conflict with the building footprint and
must be moved. After significant discussions with ComEd about an acceptable location this
site was determined to be the best possible site due to other utility conflicts at other sites.
ComEd was reluctant to locate switchgear in ROW due to the expense that ComEd would
have to absorb if the switchgear were to be relocated in the future at the request of the
Village. However, in this instance ComEd was willing to relocate the switchgear into the
ROW if the Village granted an easement and agreed to accept the responsibility for the
costs associated with possible relocation out of the ROW at some future date.
The attached easement agreement memorializes this agreement and the work is scheduled
for completion on August 22, so that the construction is not adversely impacted by the
relocation. Staff is requesting Village Board approval of the easement agreement at the
August 16 Village Meeting.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
