III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IV. MAPLE STREET PARKING LOT - PARKING ACCOMMODATION REQUEST
Ramesh Ganhdi, President of the Mount Prospect Town Home Association, has requested the Village
consider establishing a pro-rated system for Maple Street Lot parking tags so the residents and
related parties of his town home association could purchase parking privileges for only the months
necessary. Residents may only park in the Maple Street Lot between April and November. Mr.
Ganhdi has requested the option to purchase parking tags for less than the normal period of
consecutive months. For example, if a student were home from school for the summer, they could
purchase a parking tag for only the months they would be home compared to the cost of the tag for
the entire period when they only need a few months. Any change to the existing agreement will
require Board action.
V. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE MODIFICATIONS/FEE IN LIEU OF STORMWATER
DETENTION
Based on increasing feedback from developers of smaller residential building projects (teardowns and
small resubdivisions), staff would like to explore with the Village Board the concept of providing relief
from certain storm water detention requirements by allowing for payment of a "fee in lieu of' providing
the required storage on site. The "fee" would then be used to address storm water detention issues
on a larger scale basis. Given the steadily increasing number of teardowns and small residential
resubdivision projects, it is likely the fee will generate significant revenue that will allow the Village to
undertake larger scale projects.
The attached memorandum and back-up material will provide the basis for initial review. Appropriate
staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.
NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THIS MEETING BUT BECAUSE OF A
DISABILITY NEEDS SOME ACCOMMODATION TO PARTICIPATE, SHOULD CONTACT THE
VILLAGE MANAGER'S OFFICE A T 50 SOUTH EMERSON, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056,
847/392-6000, EXTENSION 5327, TDD #847/392-6064.
VI. REFUSE COLLECTION PROGRAM/ADDITIONAL WHEELED CART POLICY OPTIONS
In May of this year, the Village transitioned from a modified volume-based refuse collection program
to an unlimited volume wheeled toter program. The new solid waste program is designed around the
concept of a fully automated system and success hinges on residents using the wheeled toters. In a
few circumstances, the maximum issue of a 95-gallon refuse and a 55-gallon recycling cart may not
offer enough capacity on a weekly basis.
Residents have inquired about the availability of a second wheeled cart for refuse since the first
informational flyers were mailed. The Village's standard response to these inquires has been, "all
refuse and recycling must be contained in the cart and any refuse or recycling outside of the cart will
not be collected. If the cart is not meeting your needs, please call us in June to discuss options
available to you." The Public Works Department has developed several options to address the issue
of the availability and use of multiple carts for refuse and recycling service.
Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.
