Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance to grant a Class "C- 1" (super market) liquor license, to Garden Fresh Market, 1145 Mt. Prospect Plaza. Granting the license would amend Chapter 13 (Alcoholic Liquors) of the Village Code by increasing the number of Class "C-1" liquor licenses issued by one (1). Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2) readings of an ordinance: Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Skowron, moved for approval of Ordinance No. 5559: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13 (ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS) OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE CODE Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried. Mr. Adi Mor (owner) and Mr. Dan O'Neil (Vice President of Operations) thanked the Village Board for granting the liquor license. Mr. Mor indicated remodeling and fa~ade improvements should be completed for the store to open in August of this year. Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 st) reading an ordinance that would amend Section 13.117 "Restrictions on Premises" to grant a special permit for the delivery of alcoholic beverages on public or private property in an outdoor area immediately adjacent to the licensed premises upon such terms and conditions as the Local Liquor Control Commissioner may deem appropriate. Village code currently allows for outdoor dining on both public and private property, and with the appropriate liquor license the consumption of alcoholic beverages is also permitted unless the outdoor venue is within 300 feet of a residential zoning district. The 300-foot restriction is commonly referred to as the "Butch McGuire's rule" for the now defunct bar that had an extensive outdoor beer garden that abutted the backyards of a dozen single-family homes. The Mayor explained that with the changes in dining trends and the on-going redevelopment of Mount Prospect's downtown, the restriction presents severe limitations for dining opportunities in the downtown and other areas of the Village. 2 APPOINTMENTS Therefore, the Village Board sought a mechanism that would keep the overall protection provided by the "Butch McGuire rule", yet permit, under closely regulated conditions, outdoor dining opportunities, with alcohol service closer than the 300-foot limit. The ordinance to be considered would provide for the issuance of a "Special Permit" by the Liquor Control Commissioner (Mayor) that would allow, on a case-by-case basis, for an outdoor dining facility to be established closer than the 300-foot limit. Mayor Wilks stated the "Special Permit" strengthens the Village's control as it allows maximum flexibility for both the issuance and revocation of the Permit as well as allowing the Liquor Control Commissioner to establish "conditions" as part of the permit. The following residents presented questions and concerns specific to the impact the issuance of a "Special Permit' could have on residential neighborhoods, such as noise, traffic and parking. · Ms. Rosemarie Henriksen · Mr. Steve Meersman · Mr. Steve Gonczy 20 South Main Street 222 South Emerson Street 221 South Emerson Street Resident Notification Mayor Wilks asked that the proposed amended ordinance include a notification clause to affected residents prior to issuance of a Special Permit. Permit Renewal Mayor Wilks stated a Special Permit may be revoked at anytime if the Liquor Control Commissioner feels "its" presence is detrimental. If revoked the establishment cannot reapply for twelve (12) months from date of revocation. Mr. Nate Figaro, owner of Mrs. P & Me, also addressed the Village Board. Mr. Figaro stated his establishment is .Iosing patrons to restaurants offering outdoor dining in other communities. He indicated his interest in providing outdoor dining was also prompted by local families/customers requesting outdoor dining. He hoped the Village Board would support local restaurants wanting to offer outdoor dining to customers three to four (3-4) months out of the year. Trustees Hoefert and Zadel congratulated Mr. Figaro on upgrading Mrs. P & Me and making it attractive to families. Trustee Zadel encouraged Mr. Figaro to knock on the doors of his residential neighbors letting them know what he would like to do. Mayor Wilks stated the ordinance would be held for a second reading at the May 16, 2006 Village Board meeting APPOINTMENTS Mayor Wilks made the following appointments and reappointment to the Special Events Commission.

OLD BUSINESS Mayor Wilks stated the 2nd reading of the following three (3) ordinances as listed on the agenda were deferred, but a presentation and general discussion of the Downtown TIF Redevelopment Project Area would be conducted. · AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TAX INCREMENT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR THE DOWNTOWN TIF NO.1 (AMENDMENT #3) REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT · AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE AMENDMENT #3 TO THE DOWNTOWN TIF NO.1 REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA PURSUANT TO THE TAX INCREMENT ALLOCATION REDEVELOPMENT ACT · AN ORDINANCE CONFIRMING TAX INCREMENT ALLOCATON FINANCING FOR THE DOWNTOWN TIF NO.1 REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Mr. Janonis stated that for the benefit of the residents Community Development Director William Cooney would present a visual depiction of the general concepts for the redevelopment of Sub Area One (1); small triangle bounded by Route 83, Northwest Highway and Wille Street. The general concept for redevelopment is to create a "destination" area that would draw residents to the downtown area. Oz Development, a private developer, presented a proposal that included new restaurants, entertainment and existing businesses wanting to stay in the area. With the support of the Village, the developer has worked with the property owners/businesses in the area; purchasing properties and assisting with the relocation of businesses within or outside redevelopment area. Mr. Cooney stated the redevelopment concept is consistent with the resident response to the community survey that asked Mount Prospect residents what they wanted in the downtown area. He said that while the number one (1) request was for a grocery, a high percentage of respondents wanted restaurants and entertainment establishments. Indicating that a grocery store would not be part of this development, he said the plans did include the Blues Bar and a "white table cloth" type restaurant. . Mr. Cooney acknowledged parking is a significant issue, and concerns regarding its impact on residents and businesses will be addressed. Mayor Wilks opened the discussion for comments and questions. Mr. Michael Janczak, Gail's Carriage Inn, 20 West Northwest Highway Mr. Janczak asked when the Village anticipates actual redevelopment to begin. He stated the property owner where Gail's is located wants to participate in the redevelopment, and he said he and his wife Gail have yet to find a new location for the restaurant. Mr. Cooney stated demolition of some of the properties could begin mid to late June of this year. Mayor Wilks stated the Village has worked with the Janczaks, and proposed several possible sites to relocate their restaurant. She noted the Village has kept all the affected businesses informed at each step of the redevelopment project and will continue to work with the businesses. 5 Ms. Dev Ghandi, 18 West Busse Avenue Ms. Ghandi stated she lived above the Ye Olde Town Inn and was concerned she would lose her apartment with the redevelopment. Trustee Corcoran informed her that 18 West Busse Avenue is shown on the redevelopment drawings as the existing building, and there were no plans for demolition of the property. Ms. Donna Franczyk, 20 South Main, Ms. Franczyk stated she was supportive of the redevelopment plan but as a representative for the Village Centres Condominium Association there is a great concern for the downtown parking. She asked if the Village had considered valet parking service. The Village Board responded that parking is a critical issue and a significant factor for the success of the redevelopment. Parking is first and foremost in the Village Board's mind, and they have a responsibility to provide parking for residents. Every strategy to accommodate parking needs will be evaluated. Ms. Gloria Flores, 20 South Main Street Ms. Flores inquired whether a proposed five (5) condominium building was presented in last years plan was still be considered. Mr. Cooney responded a condominium building was not part of the Sub Area 1 redevelopment plan. Several residents encouraged the Village Board to consider the historical value and preserve some if not all of the structures on Busse Avenue. Ms. Arlene Juracek, 303 South Lancaster, Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Ms. Juracek stated she is very supportive of the downtown redevelopment but as a resident she encouraged the Village Board to be creative in their choice of building design, and build character into the downtown area. She suggested use of a creative design to facilitate the reuse of existing buildings and avoid a monolithic appearance. Mr. Gavin Kleespie, Mount Prospect Historical Society Executive Director Mr. Kleespie encouraged the Village Board to consider the long-term benefit to the community with the preservation of Busse Avenue. He stated the buildings form a historical legacy and suggested the use of grant money to renovate the existing buildings for reuse by the developer. Trustee Hoefert commented that the Historical Society had provided historical documentation of all the buildings in that area. Ms. Katie Moran, 1403 South Brentwood Drive Ms. Moran expressed her support for preserving Busse Avenue. She asked the Village Board to allow the Retail Consultant hired by the Village to find suitable merchants for the existing properties. Mr. George Clowes, 604 South Elm Street Mr. Clowes suggested the TIF concept be reviewed. He asked if the Village Board would recommend to the Cook County Clerk that use of the TIF funds be included in resident's tax bill. As not all Mount Prospect property owners share the same taxing bodies, Trustee Corcoran questioned whether this information could be accurately reflected on the tax bills. Trustee Corcoran asked if Mr. Clowes would be able to provide additional information for further review and discussion. Mr. Clowes indicated he would do so. 6 Mr. David Lindgren, 743 Whitegate Court, Economic Development Commission (EDC) Chair Referring to the statement from the Economic Development Commission submitted earlier in the year, Mr. Lindgren reiterated the Commission's support of the redevelopment of Sub Area One and confidence the Village Board would act in the best interest of the community. He stated the redevelopment is an opportunity for new businesses to give the Village an economic lift. Mr. Lindgren agreed parking was an issue to be addressed. Mayor Wilks thanked those individuals who spoke for their comments and asked if the Village Board had any final comments. Acknowledging the emotional aspects associated with preserving the Village's history, Trustee Zadel said that making a community more viable and a better place to live sometimes requires change. He also stated the redevelopment remains in a conceptual stage and the Village Board will continue their decision making process with a focus on what is best for the community. Trustee Corcoran also thanked everyone for their comments stating the Village and developer have taken a collaborative approach encouraging existing owners to participate in the redevelopment. He said discussions continue, and the proposed plans are not solidified. With respect to historical preservation of the area, Trustee Corcoran stated the developer had the structural integrity of all the buildings evaluated and if salvageable efforts may be made to save those structures. Trustee Hoefert stated Dr. Oztekin, Oz Development, approached the Village with a plan for redevelopment, and Dr. Oztekin was willing to commit private funds, and take on the necessary risks for redevelopment. And, that while the concept is exciting there is a need for balance. Trustee Hoefert also offered assurance the Village Board would remain involved and address issues of concern, such as parking, as the redevelopment moves forward. Dr. Erie Oztekin, Oz Development, addressed the Village Board apprising them of his efforts since beginning this project eight (8) months ago. Dr. Oztekin stated he has taken a proactive approach with all of the businesses and property owners in the area, inviting them to be a part of the redevelopment project. In most instances feedback from the businesses has been positive. He has purchased most of the buildings; some of the businesses want to be part of the redevelopment and others have relocated. He continues to work with Mr. Cooney, and accommodate the businesses. In response to the Historical Society's request to preserve the buildings Dr. Oztekin stated the organization could have the buildings, as it would be cost prohibitive for him to bring the existing properties up to Village Code. Adding that he has already made successful investments in the Village with his dental practice and day care center, Dr. Oztekin stated he is committed to the success of the redevelopment. However, parking is critical and for the redevelopment to proceed, the Village Board needs to discuss and develop a plan for underground parking. Mayor Wilks thanked Dr. Oztekin, and asked if there were any other comments before closing discussion. Mr. Tim Murphy, 219 South Elmhurst Road Mr. Murphy presented two questions: 7 NEW BUSINESS DISPOSAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ORD 5561 VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION TRAFFIC STUDY CONTRACT 1) Is the Village pursuing condemnation proceedings on the properties not participating in the redevelopment? 2) Where is the site for the underground parking be and at how much will this cost taxpayers? Mr. Cooney provided the following responses. 1) The Village has asked Dr. Oztekin to negotiate privately with the existing businesses. Although under the TIF program Eminent Domain is an option, it is not action the Village is considering at this time. 2) Underground parking project would take approximately eight (8) months to a year at approximately $30,000 - $40,000 per space. TIF funds could be used for the parking project, however, no plans have been formalized. Mayor Wilks called for a brief break at 9: 15 p. m.

Mr. Janonis asked Project Engineer Matt Lawrie to elaborate on the scope of the services. Mr. Lawrie stated since the successful completion of the first Neighborhood Traffic Study conducted by KLOA staff requested a proposal from KLOA to study the next five traffic zones.

He stated Police Chief Eddington would provide additional information and respond to questions. Police Chief Eddington stated staff is recommending the ID Networks system because it will meet both current and future needs of the Department. He also stated this same system will soon be implemented by at least six of the eight Northwest Central Dispatch System police agencies as well as several other agencies in the suburban Chicago. The system has been thoroughly evaluated, and current data maintained in the existing system can be easily converted to the I D Networks system.

Police Chief Eddington indicated the Justice Department requirements were a separate issue.
