DEWIS Deputy Village Clerk ALL Meeting Location: Meeting Date and Time: Mount Prospect Senior Center Tuesday, June 22, 1999 50 South Emerson Street 7:30 p.m. 4iayor Gerald L. Farley Trustee Timothy Corcoran Trustee Daniel Nocchi Trustee Paul Hoefert Trustee Michaele Skowron Trustee Richard Lohrstorfer Trustee Irvana Wilks Ile ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF JUNE 8,1999 Ills CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV, 0 ISC'U$S ION, O1NA­..N,9 gHOU'LiDg.,,�,,POLICY FOR, VILLAGE, g1,REETS The Village has long followed a policy of installing stone shoulders at the edge of pavement where no curbs exist. Thereis a very small percentage of Village streets without curbs as highlighted in the map enclosed in the packet. The policy regarding streets without curbs is to repair existing stone shoulders or to install a 24" -wide stone shoulder wherever a non -curbed street is included in the street resurfacing program. This discussion is being brought forward at the request of residents of Golfview Estates. Glendale Lane was resurfaced in 1998 and a new 24" -wide stone shoulder was Installed according to Village policy. Numerous residents that live on Glendale Lane objected to the presence and appearance of the stone shoulder. Residents also attended a Coffee with Council meeting in the fall of 1998 to voice their concerns directly to the Village Board. At the Coffee with CouncIl meeting, the Mayor and attending Village Board members reiterated the policy regarding the stone shoulders for non -curbed streets. A number of residents remained dissatisfied with the response at the Coffee with Council meeting so a follow-up meeting was held on April 7, 1999 at the Public Works facility. The meeting at the Public Works facility included the Engineering staff and 27 residents representing 20 homes in the Golfvie'w area. The residents raised a number of concerns including safety, visual DIY and maintenance issues. Engineering staff communicated why stone shoulders are utilized. Engineering staff responded by stating there is a need to protect the pavement edge from crumbling due to traffic and to allow parkin ' g without damaging yards and the pavement edge. The use of stone shoulders is typical for non -curbed streets in surrounding communities as well. Residents from Golfview Estates have been invited to the me o eting so that they can voice their concerns directly tthe Village Board In an effort to discuss this policy and provide direction to Village staff as to whether the policy should be altered. Appropriate Engineering staff will be present to e facilitatthe discussion. 01 OF #1 il, MAX In an effort to save the General Store which is the oldest remaining commercial structure in the Village, over a year ago, the building was offered to anyone who could relocate and renovate the building. As a result of this offer, an individual came forth with a plan to move and renovate the building. Unfortunately, he focused on a location that was not under the Village's control and the current owner was not interested in selling the property for the building to be relocated. Following this private attempt to relocate the building, Trustee Hoefert has been attempting to coordinate the relocation and reuse of this historical building for general office/professional space in the downtown area. He has secured the commitment of the local high school and Nipper School trade programs and of local businesses for labor and materials that will underwrite a significant portion of the project costs. While significant donations will be made, there will also be a level of financial assistance required by the Village to cover the cost to move the building, utilities, and skilled trade work necessary to renovate the building at the new site. 0 The proposal that is being forwarded for consideration by the Village Board is to move the building to a Village -owned site on Pine Street adjacent to Tri-State Electronics, across from the Clocktower Condominiums. Given that there was concern about the relocation by the residents of the Clocktower Condominiums, the ClocKtower Condominium Association convened a meeting last ..vening, June 21, to discuss the proposal. Results of that meeting will be reported out by Trustee Hoefert at the Committee of the Whole meeting this evening. Residents and representatives of the Clocktower Condominium Association have been invited to the meeting this evening as another opportunity to offer input regarding the proposal. V1. VILLAGE Y2K PLAN The Village Manager convened a Task Force of Village staff representing all Departments in March of this year in an effort to formulate a Village Response Plan for the Y2K rollover at the end of this year. Y2K is the common designation for Year 2000 issues relating to computers recognizing the year 2000 instead of the year 1900 in the memory and date functions of the computers. The Village Plan is divided into four critical elements. These elements include the following: 1. Ensure critical system compliance for internal and external systems. 2. Citizen/employee education. 3. Special needs individuals. 4. Communications apparatus. The Task Force reviewed operations as they related to the Village in its effort to provide service to the residents. In many instances, the Village does not provide service directly such as the case for telephone, natural gas, electricity and water and sanitary service to a portion of the Village served by Citizens' Utilities. The Village participates as a joint service provider for the Northwest Central Dispatch System, the Joint Water Agency and the Water Reclamation District. Task Force members reviewed *Internal systems relating to computers and other related systems, which may be at risk and have undertaken appropriate action to minimize any Y2K impact. Discussions with external service providers have yielded assurances that the service providers will be prepared for the changeover. However, since no one knows for sure what will occur, members of the Task Force formulated plans to provide Village core services in the event that there are disruptions to basic utilities. The Task Force has drafted a citizen education piece, which is a Special Newsletter set to be distributed, after July 4 to all Village residents and em'ployees of the Village. This info rmatiort piece summar I i,zes many of the preparations, which the Village, has undertaken for the Y2K weekendlo, Staff has geared the response plan to maintaining core services during the critical weekend period Of December 31 to January .1 The Human Services Department has an ongoing program where people with special needs can notify i• for follow-up calls and visits if necessary depending on weather and other related situations which may put these individuals at risk. While this program has-been underway for almost a yeAr, information Is included h theSpec"a s an j, I Y21K Newsletter for additional s'i ign-ulp, d follow-up 'The Emer en,qy Oporations Center at the Police a,nd F"i ilding will be during the Y2K, weekend, 9 ro bu activated duringthe Y,2K weekend and6taftd by appropriate Village personnel to answer calls and coordinate responses to citizens depending on service disruptions or for other information purposes. While the staffing needs have yet to be finalized for the Communications Center, it is the intention of the Task Force that this Center will remain open during the entire weekend and Departmental phones will be transferred to the Call Center in addition to the special Y2K information line which has been s t up and is advertised in the Special Y2K Newsletter. There have been minimal expenditures for Y2K related 'Items to date, however, depending on the level of preparedness the Village Board Is comfortable with, there are some expenditures highlighted in the material that include generator rental and rewiring expenses for generator back-up of some key municipal facilities. Staff is requesting Village Board input 'Into the Plan itself and direction as to whether staff should consummate the necessary contracts to ensure generator availability for critical building facilities. While the rental of the generators highlighted in the memorandum from D. eputy Public Works Director Sean Dorsey is not required by the proposed Plan, their inclusion would provide an extra level of preparedness. Members of the Y2K Task Force and Department Directors will be in attendance at the meeting to facilitate any discussion and answer any questions that the Village Board or public may have regarding the Village Y2K Preparedness Plan.

JANONIS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS GLEN ANDLER FROM: VILLAGE ENGINEER DATE: JUNE 18, 1999 SUBJECT: STONE SHOULDER POLICY Recently our policy concerning stone shoulders was questioned by residents in the Golfview Estates Subdivision. Most of the streets within the Village have curbs installed at the edge, of pavement,, There is, a small, percentage of streets without' curbs. A map is at,tached whw ich highlight,s, the rion-curbed streets in, Mount Prospect. Our policy is to repair I existing stone, shoulder or to 1"nstall a 24 wide stone shoulder, whenever a non -curbed street is included in the resurfacing program. Their specific concern is about Glendale Lane. This street was resurfaced in 1998 and a new 24" wide stone shoulder was installed in conformance with our policy. The residents on Glendale Lane objected to the presence and the appearance of the stones. In the fall of 1998, several residents attended a Coffee with Council and voiced their objections. At that meeting, the Mayor and the attending Council members upheld the staf-rs policy of maintaining existing stone shoulders and installing stone shoulders on streets that do not have curb and gutter. Since the residents were not satisfied with this response, they requested a second meeting,. The residents voiced the following concerns, atthat April 7, 1999 meetilng which was, held at the Public Works, Facility: 0 Safety Concerns: * Lawnmowers may pick up stones and project them at bystanders. 0 Stones that get kicked onto the pavement are hazardous to bike riders, skateboarders and walkers. * Visual concerns: The majority of residents at the meeting prefer the look ofgrass alongside the edge of pavement rather than the stone edge. Maintenance concerns: 0 The shoulders need inspections and possibly repair on ayearly basis. * Snowplows pushed some stone into the lawn areas, which required cleanup by Public Works. 0I Future concerns: '01 Greenbriar Lane is scheduled for resurfacing, and shoulder installation this year. Page 2 Stone Shoulder Policy June 15, 1999 Staff has addressed the safety concerns of the residents. Last year the shoulders were installed using stone up to 3/4" in size. That has been removed and a fine aggregate, a limestone sand type of material, has been installed. This should reduce the flying stone and bike/rollerblade hazard potential of the larger stone while maintaining the structural integrity of the shoulder. The installation of stone shoulders is a standard of non -curbed pavement design. Attached is a Typical Section of the Resurfacing Program Pavement Improvements. According to the Paving Textbook "Principles of Pavement Design", "Performance surveys have indicated that increased pavement performance will result whenever stabilized shoulders are used." The aggressive paving program the Village has undertaken and the desire to maximize the pavement life require that staff incorporate the best design standards in pavement design. The specific engineering and maintenance benefits of the stone shoulders are: & Structural benefits: 0 Stone shoulders provide lateral support for the asphalt pavement, which help to reduce pavement edge cracking. # As opposed to grassed shoulders, stones shoulders provide better vertical support for parked vehicles. 10 Unlike grassed shoulders, stone shoulders retain their support properties when wet. • Maintenance benefits: • Stone shoulders are easier and cheaper to repair if damaged. Yearly inspections and repairs are made. • Stone shoulders minimize sod damage from plowing. • Visual benefits: Stone shoulders help delineate and emphasize the edge of pavement at night and during rainfall. • Stone shoulders eliminate the need for pipes and boulders which are used by many property owners to delineate the pavement edge and prevent rutting of the grass parkways. Finally, discussions with Des Plaines and Arlington. Heights indicated that both Engineering Staffs also consider stone shoulders a standard pavement design feature of non -curbed streets. \\PU BLICWORK\SYS2\Fi LES\ENG I NEER\RES U R FAC\RESURF99\CORRES\MEMOJAN3.

HOEFERT DATE: JUNE 18, 1999 SUBJECT: MOVING THE GENERAL STORE AND CREATING A DOWNTOWN POCKET PARK This memo serves as an update and expansion of the memo I sent to the Board on May 17. We have discussed various outcomes for the General More over the past year as property acquisition has occurred and redevelopment of the Northwest Highway frontage has gotten closer. With redevelopment now imminent, a final proposal to "save the General Store" has been generated which centers around moving the building from its current location to the Village -owned lot on Pine Street. Once relocated, the building would be renovated, inside and out, and begin its next 100 years as a living, usable structure. The following outline summarizes the major points of the proposal and is meant to be used as a basis for discussion by the Board at the June 22, 1999 Committee of the Whole meeting. Also included with this memo are two articles detailing similar projects in West Dundee and Itasca. Vacant Village -owned triangular shaped lot bounded by the Tri-State Electronics parking lot to the south, the ComEd substation to the north, and Pine Street to the east. Kurt Muehlfelt, of J. C. Muehlfelt & Sons Building Movers in Wheaton, has inspected the building. He has indicated that the building is solid and straight and easily able to make the short move to Pine Street. He estimates the move, itself, at $25,000-$30,000. 1 have attached a list of 35 moves made by Muehlfelt & Sons since 1983 (Exhibit #11). 1 believe Muehlfelt to be a highly reputable, skilled and insured building mover. Many of their moves were done f& municipalities and, as such, will provide an excellent basis for reference checks. ..... . .. . • District 214: Forest View Vocational School Program • Maryville Academy: Nipper School Vocational Program • Home Depot: Volunteer support (project oriented) At this point, Edward Hines Lumber, Home Depot and Menard's have offered support of the project through donations of various building materials needed for the renovation such as drywall, lumber, shingles, siding, conduit, etc. I am confident that numerous other businesses in the Village would support this project, as well. . ........ . it, • Keith Youngquist has offered to provide architectural support to the project as needed. Foundation Norwood Builders has offered to form up and pour the new foundation when they pour for the new condominiums on the Northwest Electric site. • While there would be obvious oversight by the Building Department and Inspection Services during the renovation, management of the overall project could be a burden. As such, I would recommend that a local resident, possibly a senior citizen with experience, be hired to perform, manage and coordinate theproject. We may have a number of people in the Village that could do this work. One person who comes to mind is Walt Rutkowski who did an outstanding job as project manager for the Mount Prospect Historical Society's Dietrich Friedrichs House Museum renovation. I have spoken to Walt and he is considering the position. I would suggest that the individual be paid a nominal hourly rate. Time Frame • 1 would anticipate the move to occur sometime in mid -summer thereby IS w0uld clear the way for removing the building from its current locaflon., Th' redeve1opment of the Northwest Highway frontage which, from the latest estimates, will begin in the fall of this year, or, early spring 2,000. This timing of the move will have the General Store in place at its new location in time to begin renovation 'at the beginning of the school year. 0) Exterior: I would recommend that the exterior of the building be renovated to look much as it did at the turn of the century with any additional or modification to be made in keeping with the look of that era. Interior: I would suggest that the interior be remodeled into an up-to-date space for an office/professional use. • Once renovated, the building can be leased as an office or professional space. Interest has been expressed in this type of use. The existing building is approximately 1,500 square feet on the first and second floor not including the basement. Using a reduced cost per square foot, given the donations of labor and materials, it is estimated that the all in costs to move and renovate the building would be approximately $100,000*. This includes a small addition on the rear of the building for ADA accessible washroom facilities. In an effort to reduce costs, interior renovation could be limited to the first floor. This would save approximately $20,000 reducing the cost of the project to $80,000**. Additionally, the home at 15 North Wille behind Northwest Electric which the Village now owns and is to be torn down to make way for the new condominiums has a newer furnace. It is possible that this furnace could be removed and used in the General More saving approximately $2,000. Given that the Board had committed approximately $50,000 in equity support for the Saewert plan, I feel that the Village's underwriting of these costs could be considered to be both reasonable and appropriate. Tull Renovation 1,500 square feet x $25 per square foot $40,000 Cost to Move 30,000 Washroom Addition 20$000 Miscellaneous 10,000 91 'First Floor Renovation 750 square feet x $25 per square foot $20,000 Cost to Move 30,000 Washroom Addition 20,000 Miscellaneous 101000"" I would propose that the remainder of Ten South Pine property be made into a downtown, passive pocket park with brick paver walkways, park benches and landscaping. A Site Plan is attached (Exhibit #2). In addition, I would suggest that the ComEd substation which is an obvious necessity, but an unfortunate eyesore, be fenced with a new wooden fence and appropriate perimeter landscaping. This would certainly be a specific benefit to the residents of Clocktower as well as the surrounding businesses and would help beautify the downtown in general. Com Ed is being contacted by staff to assist with the 'Construction and/or funding of these improvements around the substation. As a note, given the proposed position of the General Store on the northern edge of the Pine Street property, the building itself will block the view of the substation for many of the Clocktower residents in the southern most condominium building, as well. I believe this framework provides a viable plan to save the General Store and a solid basis for our Committee of the Whole discussion. `JO,�u� � orY� . � ��CI PAUL WM.

The Dundee Township Historical Society, with the help of the Dundee Township Park District and a slew of volunteers, is planning to restore the building to the way it looked in the early 1900s. The building will be used for School tours, living history pro - 1s, natureelasses and other k dis-trict, and historical, society programs, Edwards said. "We had so much fun here," said Arnie Lauber of St. Charles, who was a student at Centerville in the late 1940s. "Now it's going to be saved for generations to enjoy." Renovation work on the school is far from over. The historicalsociety is looking for vol untee rs to, help; t the inside and outside of the building, demolish non -historic interior walls, do plaster work, floor work and more. Edwards is looking for antique desks, blackboards and other fur- nishings to complete the look Pho- tos of Centerville School from 1903 are helping to guide the renovation, she said. To donate money, time or antiques to the project, contact the Dundee Township Historical Soci- ety at 426 Highland Ave. in West Dundee.

A summary of the material included in the Y2K plan includes the following: • Y2K Response Plan Outline • Y2K Response Plan Report • Draft of the Special Y2K Newsletter for Residents and Staff Memorandum from Deputy Public Works Director summarizing potential expenditures for back-up generator rental and identifying Village buildings for which additional wiring may be required to take advantage of generator usage. • Draft of a letter from the Village Manager to Village employees describing the Village Y2K Response Plan. The Task Force discussed numerous potential scenarios due to Y2K, but many of the services the Village provides directly to residents are limited. The potential for service disruptions by utilities is a possibility, however, the Village has no impact on addressing Y2K plans of external service providers. The Y2K issue has been on the minds of many people for a lengthy period of time, and the fact that businesses have been preparing contingency plans to respond to service needs does raise the level of comfort, but since no one can predict exactly what might occur, the Village plan focused on providing core Village services based on realistic resources. The Task Force also created a communications apparatus to respond to questions and concerns of residents so that emergencies and other service needs can be addressed. Generally, the sincere hope is that little or nothing will occur during the Y2K weekend, but we are confident that the Village is prepared to respond nonetheless. I VILLAGE Y2K PREPAREDNESS PLAN June 15, 1999 Page 2 It would be nearly impossible to prepare for every eventuality within realistic budget limits, however, the information attached is quite comprehensive and is designed to address major concerns. Hopefully, residents will prepare for the Y2K weekend utilizing the suggestions in the special newsletter so that the Village response necessary to assist residents will be minimal.

Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, •a proposal for a Variation to the maxl*mum size and setback requirements for garages to allow construction of a •768 square foot garage setback 3' from a interior side property line. The subject property 'is an existing home in a resiaential neighborhood. The home currently has a 20' X 22' two -car garage with a 1.5' setback from the property line. The petitioner i's seeki*ng to replace the exiting garage with a 768 square foot two -car garage, The Zoning Code sets the maximum size for detached garages at 600 square feet and the minimum setback at five feet. The petitioner is seeking Variations to allow the proposed garage to exceed the 600 square foot maximum size requirement And to be 3' from the lot line. 0 Mr. Perkins summarized staff s findings regarding the Zoning Code Variation standards. The reasons for the proposed variation are primarily for the convenience of the petitioner, rather than financial. The petitioner proposed the oversized garage to accommodate a camper and a workroom. Although the garage 'i's somewhat the character of the neighborhood — a single-family residential area would not be affected by the oversized, proposed variations, nor would the proposed variations have any significant effect on the public welfare. Zonl*ngBoard of Appeals ZBA- 12-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 The subject parcel 'is a rectangular 8,544 square foot parcel that is relatively 1"0 1 9pt of any flood zone, and developed With a single family home and a detached garage. No particul -nakcs the cow n ar of the lot i proposed 768 square foot garage necessary. The petitioner simply wou h= Id like to a larger garage tnan in permitted by code. This is not sufficieftt justification for a Variation by the above standards. The petitioner states that the proposed 3' setback forlhe garage is necessary with the. larger garage because maneuvering a vehicle into,the proposea garage would be'diffilbult if the required setback is - met. However, the proposed garage is 26' behind the structure and a standard two -car garage could be over 30" behind the structure. Those distances would appear to leave ample room tamlaneuver most vehicles into the garage. Therefore, no hardship exists for the subject parcel. Mr. Perkins then gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA make a recommendation of dental of the proposed Variations, based on the lack hardship and i rme finNl for this case. nfo i clthe ZBA that the Village, Board's decision is Mr. Bob Foley, 7151 Prospect Manor was sworn in.

Ms. Juracek called for a motion and read 1he standards for hardship to the Board. Mr. Cassidy said the 0 hardship was that the garage was rotting away and the petitioner needed a new garage. Mr. Rogers again stated hewould be against changing the location of the garage and Iosing the old Ma ple tree. Ms. Luxem, pointed out the garage would be deeper, not wider, and would not affect the neighbors to the rear.
