Motion made by Trustee L.ohrstorfer, and Seconded by Trustee Nocchl to approve the minutes. Minutes were approved. N Mayor Farley provided a general overview of the Budget review process that will take place over the course of the next two months. Village Manager Michael Janonis explained that the budget process is a year-long process highlighting the steps that had led to this meeting, and what next steps would be in the approval process. He stated that this year, In an effort to enhance the budget process and solicit input at the earliest opportunity the Finance Commission had been more involved in the process. Informal meetings were held with department directors in the spring and summer to discuss internal and external Issues, and to closely examine the budget forecast for the upcoming year. He stated that the Village was in a comfortable position fiscally. Revenues are diverse and healthy thanks to a strong economy,and expenditures are prudent and tailored to our objectives and needs. Mr. Janonis went on to highlight the biggest fiscal accomplishments of 1999 which included: balancing the vehicle replacement fund, establishing a partial permanent funding source for the Capital Improvement Flan, and revising the fund balance policy. These critical structural changes position the Village well for the future. Mr. Janonis cited four areas of significance in describing 1999. It was a good time fiscally due to the strong economy, and this in turn meant strong revenues for the Village. Expenditures for the year were within budget ,and ,structural budget changes had been made to improve conditions for'the future. The economic development program was going strong, and many of the projects would be coming to fruition in the next year. A lot of work was being done to improve the curb appeal of the Village, through the street improvement programs, and aesthetically through corridor improvement projects. Finally, some of the challenges that the Village is facing centered around "urban issues" • crime, property maintenance issues, and an increasing at -risk population. These challenges will continue to face us in 2000, and they will be areas that will be focused on. Mayer Farley raised concern about increasing the amount of the reserve fund. Trustee Hoefert said that he was willing to compromise on the percentage amount, but reminded Mayor Farley that it was a very gradual process. Mr. Janonis continued his presentation, explaining that in the 2000 budget, expenditures are down 10.1%, the Operating Budget is up a modest 2.4%, the General Fund Budget up 3.8©/Q, Personal Services up 4.6%. There are no new revenue sources anticipated for 2000, and the programmed increases are Property Tax up 3.5%, and an increase in the Water/Sewer rate of 4%. ` One unanticipated expenditure for 2000 that is not included in the budget is funding for the Route 83 Detour Flan. Extensive construction on Route 83 is scheduled to take place in 2000. A detour plan is being developed and $100,000 is necessary for police overtime for traffic control officers. Mr. Janonis proposed that this funding come from the General Fund Surplus. Finance Director Douglas Ellsworth gave a detailed overview of the 2000 budget. The total Village Budget for 2000 is $82,498,087. Budget expenditures broke down into Capital Budget - 18%, Debt Services Budget 8%, Internal Services 7%, Pension Budget 5%, and Operating Budget 82%. Revenue for 2000 is as follows: Property Taxes 15%, Intergovernmental Revenue 13%, Investment Income 8%, Other Revenue 7%►, Licenses and Permits 5%, Interfund Transfers 2%, Service Charges 19%, and Other Taxes (including Utility Tax, Bales Tax, Home Rule Sates Tax, Special Services Area #8) 25%. Some of the factors affecting the 2000 budget included pension contribution for police and fire (which are determined by the state legislature), a 1 million flood management program grant that was obtained thanks to State Representative Carolyn Krause, which will be used for Weller Creek, and an anticipated 3% increase in state income tax receipts. Mr. Ellsworth highlighted some of the reasons for significant increases and decreases in certain departments` budgets. He pointed out that the $100,000 previously mentioned by Mr. Janonis for the Route 83 Detour Route would come from the General Fund surplus, making the Fund Balance for 200018.6%. . . . . . . ........ 1, Human Services Director fancy Meagan presented a general overview of the services provided by the Human Services Department. She pointed out that the revenue producing programs that the department manages generated 14% of their 2000 budget. A highlight of the 1999 budget year was a grant from Northwest Community Healthcare which enabled them to expand the mentor program and begin a summer day camp program for at,risk children. Ms. Morgan thanked the board for their support of the grant. She explained that the Human ,Services Department was facing a problem with their data base program, and explained than new software would have to be purchased in 2000. Performance measures were not completed this year because of difficulty in producing fair, consistent comparisons. Village Manager Michael Janonls provided a general background on the functions of the Village Manager's office which includes the MIS Department, Public Information, Television Services, and Clerk's Office. He highlighted items which showed significant changes from the previous year. A few significant changes included an increased contribution to the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, and a Vehicle Maintenance line item (due to the changes in the Vehicle Replacement Fund). Legal Services was combined because the same firm is used for General Counsel and Prosecutor. The MIS Budget was up 36% due to the need for new software to upgrade to Windows NT, which would be a one-time expense. TV Services is converting a part-time position to full-time Community Producer, but the difference would be made up by funding from the Library and the Park District, as the position would be responsible half-time for programming for those organizations, Finance Director Douglas Ellsworth provided an overview of the Departmental functions. The overall Finance Department budget for 2000 is up 2.3%. Highlights of the Finance Department budget Include upgrading a Part-time Customer Service Clerk to Full-time (would also assist the PayrolVBenefits Coordinator), Computer financial software conversion expected to be completed, outsourcing of water bill printing and mailing, expanded outsourcing of vehicle license applications, and funds for office furniture and partitions. Mayor Farley Invited comments from the audience. Frank Vlasney, 2103 Jody Court spoke. He stated that the Village Board should give charge to the Village manager to control the budget. He said that tax increases should mirror CIP increases. He stated that ordinary citizens couldn't be expected to come to budget meetings and understand what the increases will mean for them.

Mr. Denson stated that he and his neighbors had been having a great deal of problems with the Menards construction project. It started with trash and debris accumulating on the site, failure of the construciton crews to mow and remove litter. The elevation of the fence has been raised, construction crews have been starting before 8:00 a.m., a painting sub- contractor was neglegent and as a result, the homes, vehicles and other property of the residents has been damaged with paint flecks. Village Manager Janonis stated that the Menards site had been one of the worst managed construction sites in the village, and that Menards would not take ownership of the problem. He suggested putting them on notice that the site will be shut down if we do not get a response. He suggested sending a better from Mayor Farley and copy of the tape from this meeting. Discussion took place on the subject. Several trustees felt that an immediate shut down might be in order. Finally, it was agreed that a letter from Mayor Parley and a copy of the tape of the meeting would be sent to Menards, and if a response was not received, action would be taken. Melissa Benson spoke. She stated that Menards had promised to leave the trees behind the houses. Ms. Benson stated that the trees had been destroyed. She was very concerned about this matter. She also said that the construction noise from the site was unbearable. Mr. Benson stated that by cutting dawn these trees it ruined the screening effect that the residents were hoping for. Mel Mozcal, 302 Harvest Lane spoke. He expressed concern that the stop sign near Aldi onto Harvest Lane was missing, and he requested that It be replaced. He also stated that the construction workers from the Menards ,site had been parking along Harvest Lane and causing hazardous driving conditions. Mr. Mozcal also stated that Menards trucks were Menards' delivery trucks were trying to exit east onto Harvest Lane, a narrow street, and were running over peoples' lawns. Joseph Liberio, 302 Autumn Lane spoke. He stated that the windows on his house had been damaged by the construction. The fence in the back of his house had been knocked down and was actually missing portions. He believes this is the fault of the Menards construction. Joe Medina, 224 Autumn Lane spoke. He ,stated that his garden had been covered in the paint specs and he couldn't eat anything out of his garden all summer. Mike Mousbaca, 220 Autumn Lane .spoke. He stated that his car had paint flocks on the inside and outside. He had received a quote that it would cost $1,100 to repair it. The attorney for the painter is not being responsive. He also stated that his deck was full of the paint flecks and would have to be sanded out. 4 Norton Geller, 301 Autumn Lane spoke. Mr. Geller is in the insurance claims and litigation field. He stated that Menards was trying to hide behind their indemnification with the general contractor. He stated that the subcontractor had substandard insurance, and that the general contractor did not want to put their liability on notice. Mr. Geller stated that the residents were not receiving any response on the paint issue. He asked that a stop work order be issued and not lifted until residents were paid for the damages. Mayor Farley stated that the board would send via Federal Express a packet including a letter under the Mayor's signature, and a copy of the tape of the meeting. Louis Devaca, 222 Autumn Lane spoke. He stated that he his garden and cars had also been covered in the paint specs. He expressed concern because his family had eaten vegetables out of the garden and wanted to know what was in the paint. Mayor Farley thanked the residents for coming to the meeting and promised prompt follow-up. Mayor Farley announced he had received notice that a group from Serves, France, Mount Pros*pect's Sister City, would be visiting May 16-21, 2000. He also expressed sympathy to the family and citizens of Des Plaines for the sudden death of Mayor Paul Jung who had passed away the previous Sunday. Trustee Wilks announced that a public service would be held for Mayor Jung., She also described an internet Information night for parents that she had attended at St. Emily's School which the Mount Prospect Police Department participated In. She encouraged parents to understand protections that children have in regard to these issues. Trustee Nocchl asked if the Village had received an answer from Metra about the unsightly structures. Mr. Janonis replied that they were control mechanisms for the grade crossing gates and lights$ Will.

Scezniak p The meeting was called to order at 7:36 p.m. At 7:40 p.m., Chairperson Jumcek introduced Case No. IBA -26-99, a request for a Conditional Use and Variations to establish a fast food restaurant with a drive-through window. Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given, Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this case had been given in the form of a newspaper legal ad, signs posted at the property, and a mailing to property owners within 250' of the subject property* Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, a Conditional Use and Variations for the establishment of a drive-through Taco Bell/K.F.C. restaurant Mr. Perkins stated that the subject property is the vacant former Giordanoi Pizza Restaurant site that was damaged by an automobile accident in 1994 and demolished in 1997, leaving the parking lots and curb cuts to Rand Road remaining on the parcel. He stated that the property has covenants requiring cross -access between the property and the properties to the east and that the applicant proposes to maintain the cross -access and one of the existing curb cuts. He also stated that the proposed plans 'include provisions for extending cross -access to the Menard's property to the n6rth. r. Perkins described the proposed Conditional Use for a drive-through Taco Bell/K.F.C. restaurant. He stated that' M the drive-through would be located on the northeast side of the building about 15 feet from the rear property line and that the drive-through would be accessed from the site's main driveway. He added that customers would exit the drive-through via the parking lot or a north/south drive aisle at the east boundary of the site shared with the bowling alley property. Mr. Perkins stated that the proposed restaurant is a 3,302 s.f off-white dryvit structure with a 3' brown masonry block base, purple and red awnings, a red cupola, and red, white and purple accent bands. He stated that the building would meet all setback and height requirements, He then reminded the ZBA that both they and the Village Board have long Zoning Board of Appeals ,SBA -26-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 standing policies of requiring masonry construction for new buildings in the Village and cited recent examples such as Steak 'n Shake, Borders, Country Inns and Suites and Menard's. He recommended that the ZBA enforce the masonry construction policy with this project also. Mr. Perkins stated that the proposed parking lots meet the minimum 10' setback from property lines adjacent to non- residential property. He added that the site is across Rand Road from a vacant RI zoned parcel, which would require a 30' setback from that property line and that the proposal includes a 10' setback, so a Variation would be required. Mr. Perkins outlined the Zoning Code parking requirements for Fast-food Restaurants of 12 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus eight stacking spaces per drive-through and stated that the proposed 3,302 square foot restaurant would require 40 parking spaces and eight stacking spaces. He then stated that the proposal includes 37 spaces and 7 stacking spaces and thus requires a Variation for those items., Mr. Perkins described the provisions of the Rand Road Corridor Plan, which call for the development of a "loop road" to allow for cross -access between commercial uses on the north side of Rand Road from Business Center Drive to Mount Prospect Plaza and for reducing the number of curb cuts on Rand Road. He explained that the proposed site plan eliminates one curb cut from the site and provides for cross -access connections between the subject parcel and nearby commercial parcels. He added that the owners of the subject property and bowling alley property have submitted documentation of an existing cross -access agreement between the properties. He then briefly described modifications to the Menard's, Wal-Mart, and bowling alley properties the cross -access would require and stated that negotiations are under way to finalize the configuration of the cross -access. Mr. Perkins discussed the subject property in terms of the Zoning Code Standards for Conditional Uses. He stated that the proposed use would be on a vacant parcel in an established commercial area, formerly occupied by a restaurant and that the proposed restaurant and drive-through will be similar in intensity to the former use of the site. He stated that the site plan furthers the goals of the Rand Road Corridor Plan by eliminating a curb cut to Rand Road and advancing the development of cross -access between commercial uses. He added that the proposal should have no negative impact on the adjacent area, utility provision or public streets and may help improve circulation. He further stated that the proposed Conditional Use will comply with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance requirements, except where Variations are requested, would not affect the essential character of the area, and would have no significant effect on the public welfare. Mr. Perkins then described the proposal in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Variations. He stated that the subject parcel is a small, nearly triangular, property with existing cross -access easements and additional Village requirements for cross -access, which make the site difficult to develop and added those factors supported a positive finding regarding a hardship due to the unique characteristics of the site. He added that site conditions and Village and IDOT requirements to improve traffic circulation, rather than financial gain were the reasons for the proposed Variations. He also stated that any negative effects from the proposed Variations would be outweighed by the public benefits from eliminating a curb cut and promoting development of the cross -access. He said that because of those factors, positive findings could be made regarding the purpose of the proposed variation and the protection of the public welfare and neighborhood character. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code standards for Conditional Uses and Variations, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend to the Village Board approval of the proposal, with the conditions outlined in the staff report. He also informed the IBA that the Village Board is final for the item. Leo Floros asked if this proposal would have an adverse affect on the Jiffy Lube next to the property and Mr. Perkins said they would not be affected. Thomas V. Scezniak, 1754 W. Wise Road in Schaumburg, was sworn in. He testified that he had worked over the plans for many months wit: the Plantiving staff. He said there is a cross -access agreernent in place that theY'are re- working to include Menard" s legal counsel. This agreement will be finished and 'in, place before appearing before the Village Board. Mr. Scezniak pointed out on an exhibit the stormwater detention area and said they are going to save Zoning Board of Appeals Arlene Juracek, Chairperson ZBA-26-99 Page 3 the trees in that area. He stated that Taco Twins would acquiesce to the Village's condition for an all masonry building by providing a split -face block structure. Ms. Juracek said the Board appreciated their cooperation with having an all masonry building. She explained the Board does not approve of Dryvit type materials because of rotting due to weather conditions. Mr. Floros asked if the Taco Twins was a franchisee. Mr. Scezniak said yes, they have 21 Taco Bellsin the Chicago area, Mr. Floros asked about the other Taco Bell on .and Road, wouldn't that be too close. Mr. Scezniak said no, the traffic patterns were entirely different and the proposed combination restaurant would be very lucrative,, Ms. Juracek asked how soon they planned to open. Mr. Scesniak said that, depending on weather conditions, would probably start construction in the spring, Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Conditional Use and Variations to establish a fast food restaurant with a drive-through window, with the seven conditions 'unposed by staff and an addition to Condition #3, providing that the accent trim will not be made of E.I.F.S.

Michael Blue, AICP, Deputy Director of Community Development Jeffery Perkins, Planner INTERESTED PARTIES: Edward & Yvonne Steinweg Chuck Engels The meeting was called to order at 7:36 p.m. and the Board heard one case previous to this case. At 8:00 p.m., Chairperson Juracek "Introduced Case No. ZBA-30-99, a request for a Variation to reduce the required rear setback from 25' to 201, to allow a building addition. Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given, Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this ewe had been given i Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-30-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 standard. Based on that finding, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation for denial of the proposal and informed the ZBA that their decision is final for this case. Richard Rogers inquired if the shed at the back of the lot was on a foundation and was it permitted. Mr. Perkins said the area had been annexed some time ago and all permit records were not available. He did not know if there al was a foundation under the shed. Mr. Floras asked if the shed would remain. Edward & Yvonne Steinweg, 1307 Pima Lane, were sworn in. They said they were indifferent as to the shed remaining. Mr. Steinweg said it was not on a foundation. Ms. Steinweg said they have three growing children, are well established in the community, and wanted to invest in their present home rather that leave the community. She added that, due to the shape of their lot, they investigated many possible designs for an addition and found the best and most economical to be the one they had proposed. She said they feel that where they wish to place the addition will not detract from the appearance of the neighbors' gardens. Ms. Steinweg said this proposal was the best solution aesthetically, also. Mr. Steinweg pointed out that this was the best plan for plumbing connections, too. Ms. Steinweg said they wanted to leave enough back yard for family enjoyment. Ms. Juracek questioned the room measurements on the sketches. She said her calculations showed a 17' room addition and what would the larger room that they are requesting look like. Mr. Steinweg said after getting the sketches, they visited open houses to get an idea of room sizes and what would fit their particular needs. A 20' family room was found to be more suitable. They also want the room size to accommodate a comer fireplace. Only the family room portion of the addition would encroach into the setback, the kitchen and second floor of the addition would not. Mr. Rogers asked the Steinwegs' intentions regarding the shed. Mr. Steinweg said he had planned to keep it but was flexible. Mr. Rogers said the shed was less desirable than the addition and having both would be the worst of both cases. Mr. Steinweg said that their shed covered their view of the neighbor's shed. Mr. Rogers asked if the Steinwegs had spoken to the neighbors to the rear. They had not. The Steinwegs presented photographs of the back yard to the Board. The improvements would include replacement of the present patio. The master bedroom addition would cost approximately $55,000 and the family room addition would be approxff"nately $120,000 to $150,000, including excavating a basement. This is being considered as a family rather than financial investment. Chuck Engels, 1305 Pima Lane, stood up in the audience to say the Steinwegs were wonderful neighbors and he did not want to see them move from the area. Mr. Rogers asked if the Steinwegs would consider removing the shed as a basis for approval of the Variation request. They responded yes. Ms. Juracek pointed out that the only neighbor who would be affected by this addition was the neighbor with the shed, which would remain regardless of the Steinweg addition, Mr. Floros said he was always in favor of people investing in their homes and remaining in the community. Mr. Rogers said he viewed the proposal as an improvement to the rear yard, especially if the present shed were removed. Mr. Floras agreed the shed should be removed. Michael Blue stated that Section 14.203.C.11 of the Zoning Code permits the IBA to apply conditions to a Variation. Ms. Juracek asked if the petitioners were willing to accept that condition. Mr. Perkins suggested that they word the Variation approval with a condition to relocate the shed to a place in compliance with zoning requirements. The Steinwegs agreed to this condition. Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Variation to reduce the required rear setback from 25' to Zoning Board of Appeals Arlene Juracek, Chairperson ZBA-30-99 Page 3 20% to allow a building addition, under the condition to relocate the shed to a location in conformance with zonin requirements.

Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, Rezoning and two Variations to permit construction of an electrical supply store at the comer of Rand Road and Business Center Drive, Mr. Perkins stated that the Village Board approved a rezoning to B3 Community Shopping and Variations for a 47,950 square of elee rtcal supply store on four parcels totaling 2.02 acres in May 1999. He added that the single family res t"dence and landHca pebusin ess, on, the subjeot property have since been demolished. He then stated that th'e' applicant has purchased, 10 more, feet of property on the north boundary of the site, bringing the total site area to 2. 11 acres and pro ores to iintcrease ,the size ,of -the structure to 50,95 6 square feet and that the site would contain 79 parKing, spacesjbur loading docks, and landscaping. A plat of consolidation to combine the variousparcels into a single lot is scheduled,for the Plan, Commiss'ion, on November 3rd. Zoning Board of Appeals ZEA -31-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 Mr. Perkins stated that the 10' of additional property is zoned R1 Single-family Residential and CR Conservation Recreation and must be rezoned to B3 to accommodate the proposal and that the petitioner is seeking Variations to reduce the interior side yard setback from 10 feet to 2 feet for the north driveway and to increase to the maximum permitted lot coverage from 75% to 81.1%. He added that the proposal meets all other zoning code requirements. Mr. Perkins described the applicant's justifications for the proposed Variations, which were related to the shape of the lot, it's topography, required easements, and IDOT locational requirements for the Rand Road entrance to the property. He stated that the combination of those factors make development of the site according to all zoning code requirements difficult while providing for sufficient access for emergency and delivery vehicles, necessary easements, and requirements for driveway location. Mr. Perkins discussed the subject property in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Map Amendments. He stated that the property is located on a principal arterial road near large existing commercial and industrial areas and that the proposed B3 zoning and use of the site will be compatible with those surrounding land uses and zoning districts. He added that the parcel is suitable for the proposed use and the proposed home improvement center will be complementary to similar uses located in the vicinity. He further stated that the Hill Street Nature Preserve buffers the residential areas to the north from the subject property and that the portion of the proposed development nearest the Nature Preserve will contain a small landscape area and an employee parking area which will limit future impacts form the proposal on the adjacent Park. The proposed zoning district and use of the property are consistent with provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, and Rand Road Corridor Plan. Mr. Perkins then described the proposal in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Variations. He stated that the subject property is odd -shaped and sloped, which constrains its potential development. He added that because of those facts, a positive finding can be made regarding a hardship due to the unique characteristics of the site. He then said that the proposed variations are related to the particular type of building needed by the applicant and access and utility requirements, rather than a desire to maximize total square footage so that a positive finding can be made regarding the purpose of the proposed variation. He then described the site's location adjacent to a nature preserve and that the proposed variations affect the property Iffie shared with the preserve. He stated that the nature preserve parcel will ensure that the proposed variations do not have an adverse impact on nearby properties or neighborhoods and that the limited usage of the employee parking area will limit impacts from the variations on the nature preserve itself. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code standards for Map Amendments and Variations, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend to the Village Board approval of the proposal. Arlene Juracek questioned if the north wall of the building had moved any further north with this plan. Mr. Perkins responded that everything in the plan had shifted 10' north and the building would be 10' larger and explained the changes illustrated in the exhibit. Richard Rogers reminded the group that the trees on the north line were to serve as a buffer zone to the residential area to the north and asked what would happen to them Tom Reindl, 904 Lakewood, Barrington, who is co-owner of Northwest Electric Supply and property owner of this parcel was sworn in and shared a brief history of Northwest Electric. He stated that the planned construction would damage the trees, none of which was a hardwood variety but just the type of trees that grow along fence fines. In dealing with the Park District for purchase of their land Northwest Electric made their proposed driveway available to the Park District for future access. At this time, all concerned realized a new buffer needed to be established. Northwest Electric wanted to purchase 16' of land and supply the buffer area but it was the Park District's preference to sell only 10' of land and require a cash contribution of $16,000 for landscape material to re-establish a proper buffer. Northwest Electric acquiesced to this request. Mr. Reindl explained that their plan to allow the Park District use of their driveway would also reduce the total number of ingress/egress points needed from Rand Road, which is desirable for IDOT standards. Zoning Board of Appeals Arlene Juracek, Chairperson ZBA-31-99 Page 3 Mr. Rogers said he considered that a great solution and commended Northwest Electric in this endeavor to Mr. Reindl pointed out there would be no parking against the north lot line, all parking would be against the building, Ms. Juracek asked, what type of interior changes were, being made *or n the original pt"an,s. Mr. Rel'indl, said they had, not real 1",zed they would require a separate entrance to a sprinkler room and th,e basement would -require a separate exit to the outs,i'de, Mr. Floros, asked what the proposed timetable was. Mr. Reindl said they hoped the building would be completed by Summer of 2000, Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 8:45 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve the request for Rezoning from RI Single-family Residence and CR Conservation Recreation to B3 Community Shopping, and Variations to side exterior yard setback and maximum 1.0 lot coverage requirements for the establishment of a lignting and electrical store. Richard Rogers seconded the motion. UPON ROLL CALL: AYES: Cotton, Floros, Juracek, Rogers Motion was approved 4-0. The ZBA heard one additional case. At 9:05 p.m., Leo Floros made motion to adjourn, seconded by Richard Rogers. Meeting was adjourned.

Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given. Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this case had been given in the form of a newspaper legal ad, signs posted at the property, and a mailing to property owners within 250' of the subject property, Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, a Conditional Use for modifications to a PUD and Variations as required to permit decks/patios for 22 residences, He stated that the subject property was recently approved for a 22 -unit *duplex Planned Unit Development that is currently under construction and that the current approval does not "Include any patios or decks. He added that the applicant has begun selling units and has received interest from purchasers about adding decks or patios. He explained that the Zoning Code requires that changes to Planned Unit Developments that reduce the originally approved open space must be approved as an amendment to the PUD Mr. Perkins stated that the approved development includes 64,327 square feet of coverage on a 131,434 square foot site (48.9%) and that the R2 district 50% maximum lot coverage would allow an additional 1,390 square feet of lot coverage for the site, or 63.2 square feet per unit. He added that -the applicant is requesting a PUD Modification to add decks or patios and a Variation increasing the maximum lot coverage for the site from 50% to 51% to permit 120 square foot (10' X 12') decks for each unit. Mr. Perkins stated that the reason the petitioner is requesting the PUD modification and Variation is that the proposed 10' X 12' decks would provide a more functional amenity for the future unit owners in the development. He added that the application does not propose a hardship rationale for the Variation. Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-32-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 Mr. Perkins acknowledged the applicant's contention that the proposed Variation would tend to make the overall development more appealing and functional for future residents. He added that the decks would promote a better development and would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety, morals, comfort, general welfare, utility provision or public streets. He further stated that the proposed improvements could have a positive impact by making the development more appealing to residents. He explained that, unfortunately, the applicant does not have a hardship, as specified by the Zoning Ordinance, related to site conditions. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code PUD and Conditional Use standards, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend approval of a Conit,"tonal 'Use to modify -the PUD, to pen, n"'i't, patios or decks on the units up to 50% lot coverage. Based on its analysis of theproposal, with, respect to Zoning Code Variation standards, Mr. Perkins gave staffs recornmendationtliat the Z,BA deny the proposed lot coverage Variation due to a lack of hardship. He informed the ZBA that the Villi ge'Boar d's decision is final or this case, Ms. Juracek asked if all the units could have 6' x 10' decks or patios without exceeding the maximum lot coverage a need for a Variation. Mr. Perkins said they could. Mr. Adel Sotolongo was sworn in. He explained the Dearborn, Group purchased the project from Insignia Homes. He said that if he had been involved in the project from the start, he would have requested permission for 10 x 12 patios/decks for all the units at that time. As it stands, the first owners could request permits for larger decks and the development would remain within the established maximum lot coverage, but owners of units built later would not be able to have decks/patios because the lot coverage would be met by the first owners. 0 Mr. Perkins reminded members that the development has a private street, which also counts against the percentage of lot coverage, whereas a dedicated road R.O.W. would not be included in lot coverage. Mr. Cotten pointed out the development was helping the Village by maintaining their own street and they could dedicate the street back to the Village and have a sufficient percentage of lot coverage for patios/decks. Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Conditional Use for modifications to a PUD and Variations as required to permit decks/patios for 22 residences.

Absent from the meeting was Trustee Timothy Corcoran. Staff members present included Village Manager Michael Janonis, Finance Director Douglas Ellsworth, Deputy Finance Director Carol Widmer, MIS Coordinator Joan Middleton, Public Information Officer Maura Jandris, Human Services Director Nancy Morgan, Deputy Human Services Director Jan Abernethy, Secretary Julie Gutierrez, Office Manager Judy Fell, Social Worker April Foley, Bi -Lingual Social Worker Nina Persino, Village Nurse Peggy Florey. Approval of Minutes from October 12, 1999. Motion made by Trustee Lohrstorfer, and Seconded by Trustee Nocchi to approve the minutes. Minutes were approved. Ill. ,CITIZENS TO BE HEARD None. Mayor Farley provided a general overview of the Budget review process that will take place over the course of the next two months. Village Manager Michael Janonis explained that the budget process is a year-long process highlighting the steps that had led to this meeting, and what next steps would be in the approval process. He stated that this year, in an effort to enhance the budget process and solicit input at the earliest opportunity the Finance Commission had been more involved in the process. Informal meetings were held with department directors in the spring and summer to discuss internal and external issues, and to closely examine the budget forecast for the upcoming year. He stated that the Village was in a comfortable position fiscally. Revenues are diverse and healthy thanks to a strong economy, and expenditures are prudent and tailored to our objectives and needs. Mr. Janonis went on to highlight the biggest fiscal accomplishments of 1999 which included: balancing the vehicle replacement fund, establishing a partial permanent funding source for the Capital Improvement Plan, and revising the fund balance policy. These critical structural changes position the Village well for the future. Mr. Janonis cited four areas of significance in describing 1999. It was a good time fiscally due to the strong economy, and this in turn meant strong revenues for the Village. Expenditures for the year were within budget and structural budget changes had been made to improve conditions for the future. The economic development program was going strong, and many of the projects would be coming to fruition in the next year. A lot of work was being done to improve the curb appeal of the Village, through the street improvement programs, and aesthetically through corridor improvement projects. Finally, some of the challenges that the Village is facing centered around "urban issues" - crime, property maintenance issues, and an increasing at -risk population. These challenges will continue to face us in 2000, and they will be areas that will be focused on. Mayor Farley raised concern about increasing the amount of the reserve fund. Trustee Hoefert said that he was willing to compromise on the percentage amount, but reminded Mayor Farley that it was a very gradual process. Mr. Janonis continued his presentation, explaining that in the 2000 budget, expenditures are down 10.1%, the Operating Budget is up a modest 2.4%, the General Fund Budget up 3.8%, Personal Services up 4.6%. There are no new revenue sources anticipated for 2000, and the programmed increases are Property Tax up 3.5%, and an increase in the Water/Sewer rate of 4%. One unanticipated expenditure for 2000 that is not included in the budget is funding for the Route 83 Detour Plan. Extensive construction on Route 83 is scheduled to take place in 2000. A detour plan is being developed and $100,000 is necessary for police overtime for traffic control officers. Mr. Janonis proposed that this funding come from the General Fund Surplus. Finance Director Douglas Ellsworth gave a detailed overview of the 2000 budget. The total Village Budget for 2000 is $62,496,087. Budget expenditures broke down into Capital Budget - 18%9 Debt Services Budget 8%, Internal Services 7%, Pension Budget 5%, and Operating Budget 62%. Revenue for 2000 is as follows: Property Taxes 15%, Intergovernmental Revenue 13%, Investment Income 8%, Other Revenue 7%, Licenses and Permits 5%, Interfund Transfers 2%, Service Charges 19%, and Other Taxes (including Utility Tax, Sales Tax, Home Rule Sates Tax, Special Services Area #5) 25%. Some of the factors affecting the 2000 budget included pension contribution for police and fire (which are determined by the state legislature), a $1 million flood management program grant that was obtained thanks to State Representative Carolyn Krause, which will be used for Weller Creek, and an anticipated 3% increase in state income tax receipts. Mr. Ellsworth highlighted some of the reasons for significant increases and decreases in certain departments' budgets. He pointed out that the $100,000 previously mentioned by Mr. Janonis for the Route 83 Detour Route would come from the General Fund surplus, making the Fund Balance for 200016.6 lam. . .............. Human Services Director Nancy Morgan presented a general overview of the services provided by the Human Services Department. She pointed out that the revenue producing programs that the department manages generated 14% of their 2000 budget. A highlight of the 1999 budget year was a grant from Northwest Community Healthcare which enabled them to expand the mentor program and begin a summer day camp program for at -risk children. Ms. Morgan thanked the board for their support of the grant. She explained that the Human Services Department was facing a problem with their data base program, and explained that new software would have to be purchased in 2000. Performance measures were not completed this year because of difficulty in producing fair, consistent comparisons. f I LVI Village Manager Michael Janonis provided a general background on the functions of the Village Manager's office which includes the MIS Department, Public Information, P� Television Services, and Clerk's Office. He highlighted items which showed significant changes from the previous year. A few significant changes included an increased contribution to the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, and a Vehicle Maintenance line item (due to the changes in the Vehicle Replacement Fund). Legal Services was combined because the same firm is used for General Counsel and Prosecutor. The MIS Budget was up 36% due to the need for new software to upgrade to Windows NT, which would be a one-time expense. TV Services is converting a part-time position to full-time Community Producer, but the difference would be made up by funding from the► Library and the Park District, as the position would be responsible half-time for programming for those organizations. FINANCE DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW Finance Director Douglas Ellsworth provided an overview of the Departmental functions. The overall Finance Department budget for 2000 is up 2.3%. Highlights of the Finance Department budget include upgrading a Part-time Customer Service Clerk to Full-time (would also assist the Payroll/Benefits Coordinator), Computer financial software conversion expected to be completed, outsourcing of water bill printing and mailing, expanded outsourcing of vehicle license applications, and funds for office furniture and partitions. Mayor Farley invited comments from the audience. Frank Vlasney, 2103 Jody Court spoke. He stated that the Village Board should give charge to the Village manager to control the budget. He said that tax increases should mirror CIP increases. He stated that ordinary citizens couldn't be expected to come to budget meetings and understand what the increases will mean for them. FINANCE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS John Korn, Chairman of the Finance Commission presented the tentative recommendations of the Finance Commission for the 2000 Budgets of the Village Manager's Office, Finance Department and Human Services. He stated: Finan, enaqmmal The Commission voted to support the upgrade of the part-time customer service clerk to full time. (6-0) The Commission voted to support the decision to gradually increase fund balance in the General Fund to 25%.

Hurngn,.Services Depgrtment The Commission voted in favor of continuing the summer mentoring program another year. (6-0) Mr. Korn thanked the Village Board and the staff for involving the Finance Commission early in the process this year. V. OTHER BUSINESS Rich Benson, President of Harvest Heights Homeowners Association spoke. Mr. Bensen stated that he and his neighbors had been having a great deal of problems with the Menards construction project. It started with trash and debris accumulating on the site, failure of the construciton crews to mow and remove litter. The elevation of the fence has been raised, construction crews have been starting before 8:00 a.m., a painting sub- contractor was neglegent and as a result, the homes, vehicles and other property of the residents has been damaged with paint flecks. Village Manager Janonis stated that the Menards site had been one of the worst managed construction sites in the Village, and that Menards would not take ownership of the problem. He suggested putting them on notice that the site will be shut down if we do not got a response. He suggested sending a letter from Mayor Farley and copy of the tape from this meeting. Discussion took place on the subject. Several trustees felt that an immediate shut down might be in order. Finally, it was agreed that a letter from Mayor Farley and a copy of the tape of the meeting would be sent to Menards, and if a response was not received, action would be taken. Melissa Benson spoke. She stated that Menards had promised to leave the trees behind the houses. Ms. Benson stated that the trees had been destroyed. She was very concerned about this matter. She also said that the construction noise from the site was unbearable. Mr. Benson stated that by cutting down these trees it ruined the screening effect that the residents were hoping for. Mel Mozcal, 802 Harvest Lane spoke. He expressed concern that the stop sign near Aldi onto Harvest Lane was missing, and he requested that it be replaced. He also stated that the construction workers from the Menards site had been parking along Harvest Lane and causing hazardous driving conditions. Mr. Mozcal also stated that Menards trucks were Menards' delivery trucks were trying to exit east onto Harvest Lane, a narrow street, and were running over peoples' lawns. Joseph Liberia, 302 Autumn Lane spoke. He stated that the windows on his house had been damaged by the construction. The fence in the back of his house had been knocked down and was actually missing portions. He believes this is the fault of the Menards construction. Joe WOW, 224 Autumn Lane spoke. He stated that his garden had been covered in the paint specs and he couldn't eat anything out of his garden all summer. Mike Mousbaca, 220 Autumn Lane spoke. He stated that his car had paint flecks on the inside and outside. He had received a quote that it would cost $1,100 to repair it. The attorney for the painter is not being responsive. He also stated that his deck was full of the paint flecks and would have to be sanded out. 4 PLEASE NOTE EARLY START TIME COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AGENDA Meeting Location: Meeting Date and Time: Mount Prospect Senior Center Tuesday, November 9, 1999 50 South Emerson Street 6:00 P.M.

Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given.

He also stated that the proposed plans include provisions for extending cross -access to the Menard's property to the north. Mr. Perkins described the proposed Conditional Use for a drive-through Taco Bell/K.F.C. restaurant. He stated that the drive-through would be located on the northeast side of the building about 15 feet from the rear property line and that the drive-through would be accessed from the site's main driveway. He added that customers would exit the drive-through via the parking lot or a north/south drive aisle at the east boundary of the site shared with the bowling alley property. Mr. Perkins stated that the proposed restaurant is a 3,302 s.f off-white dryvit structure with a 3' brown masonry block base, purple and red awnings, a red cupola, and red, white and purple accent bands. He stated that the building would meet all setback and height requirements. He then reminded the ZBA that both they and the Village Board have long Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-26-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 standing policies of requiring masonry construction for new buildings in the Village and cited recent examples such as Steak 'n Shake, Borders, Country Inns and Suites and Menard's. He recommended that the ZBA enforce the masonry construction policy with this project also. Mr. Perkins stated that the proposed parking lots meet the minimum 10' setback from property lines adjacent to non- residential property. He added that the site is across Rand Road from a vacant RI zoned parcel, which would require a 30' setback from that property line and that the proposal includes a 10' setback, so a Variation would be required. Mr. Perkins outlined the Zoning Code parking requirements for Fast-food Restaurants of 12 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area, plus eight stacking spaces per drive-through and stated that the proposed 3,302 square foot restaurant would require 40 parking spaces and eight stacking spaces. He then stated that the proposal includes 37 spaces and 7 stacking spaces and thus requires a Variation for those items. Mr. Perkins described the provisions of the Rand Road Corridor Plan, which call for the development of a "loop road" to allow for cross-access between commercial uses on the north side of Rand Road from Business Center Drive to Mount Prospect Plaza and for reducing the number of curb cuts on Rand Road. He explained that the proposed site plan eliminates one curb cut from the site and provides for cross-access connections between the subject parcel and nearby commercial parcels. He added that the owners of the subject property and bowling alley property have submitted documentation of an existing cross-access agreement between the properties. He then briefly described modifications to the Menard's,, Wal-Mart, and bowling alley properties the cross-access would require and stated that negotiations are under way to finalize the configuration of the cross-access. Mr. Perkins discussed the subject property in terms of the Zoning Code Standards for Conditional Uses. He stated that the proposed use would be on a vacant parcel in an established commercial area, formerly occupied by a restaurant and that the proposed restaurant and drive-through will be similar in intensity to the former use of the site. He stated that the site plan furthers the goals of the Rand Road Corridor Plan by eliminating a curb cut to Rand Road and advancing the development of cross-access between commercial uses. He added that the proposal should have no negative impact on the adjacent area, utility provision or public streets and may help improve circulation. He further stated that the proposed Conditional Use will comply with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance requirements, except where Variations are requested, would not affect the essential character of the area, and would have no significant effect on the public welfare. Mr. Perkins then described the proposal in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Variations. He stated that the subject parcel is a small, nearly triangular, property with existing cross-access easements and additional Village requirements for cross-access, which make the site difficult to develop and added those factors supported a positive finding regarding a hardship due to the unique characteristics of the site. He added that site conditions and Village and IDOT requirements to improve traffic circulation, rather than financial gain were the reasons for the proposed Variations. He also stated that any negative effects from the proposed Variations would be outweighed by the public benefits from eliminating a curb cut and promoting development of the cross-access. He said that because of those factors, positive findings could be made regarding the purpose of the proposed variation and the protection of the public welfare and neighborhood character. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code standards for Conditional Uses and Variations, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend to the Village Board approval of the proposal, with the conditions outlined in the staff report. He also informed the ZBA that the Village Board is final for the item. Leo Floros asked if this proposal would have an adverse affect on the Jiffy Lube next to the property and Mr. Perkins said they would not be affected. Thomas V. Scezniak, 1754 W. Wise Road in Schaumburg, was sworn in. He testified that he had worked over the plans for many months with the Planning staff. He said there is a cross-access agreement in place that they are re- working to include Menard's legal counsel. This agreement will be finished and in place before appearing before the Village Board. Mr. Scezniak pointed out on an exhibit the stormwater detention area and said they are going to save Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-26-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 3 the trees in that area. He stated that Taco Twins would acquiesce to the Village's condition for an all masonry building by providing a split -face block structure. Ms. Juracek said the Board appreciated their cooperation with having an all masonry building. She explained the Board does not approve of Dryvit type materials because of rotting due to weather conditions. Mr. Floros asked if the Taco Twins was a franchisee. Mr. Scezniak said yes, they have 21 Taco Bellsin the Chicago area. Mr. Floros asked about the other Taco Bell on Rand Road, wouldn't that be too close. Mr. Scezniak said no, the traffic patterns were entirely different and the proposed combination restaurant would be very lucrative. Ms. Juracek asked how soon they planned to open. Mr. Scesniak said that, depending on weather conditions, would probably start construction in the spring. Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Conditional Use and Variations to establish a fast food restaurant with a drive-through window, with the seven conditions imposed by staff and an addition to Condition #3, providing that the accent trim will not be made of E.I.F.S. Leo Floros seconded the motion. 47PON ROLL CALL: AYES: Cotton'. Floros, Juracek, Rogers Motion was approved 4-0. The ZBA heard three additional cases.

At 8:00 p.m., Chairperson Juracek introduced Case No. ZBA-30-99, a request for a Variation to reduce the required rear setback from 25' to 20', to allow a building addition. Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given. Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this case had been given in the form of a newspaper legal ad, signs posted at the property, and a mailing to property owners within 250' of the subject property. Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, a Variation to reduce the required rear setback from 25' to 20', to allow a building addition 11 Mr. Perkins stated that the subject property is an existing home on a cul-de-sac, which meets all Zoning Code bulk requirements and that the applicant plans to build a 22' x 33' family room and kitchen addition. He then stated that the existing house is set back 42 feet from the rear property line and that, since the Rl rear setback requirement is 25', the proposed addition would encroach 5' into the required rear setback, requiring the proposed Variation. Mr. Perkins then restated the petitioners' justification for the Variation — that an addition meeting required setbacks would be too small to meet their needs and that the placement of the existing structure on the shallowest portion of the lot is a hardship. Mr. Perkins described the subject parcel and the proposal in terms of the Zoning Code standards for Variations. He stated that the proposed Variation is not for financial gain and that the proposed addition would enhance the existing structure and the neighborhood in general. He then stated that the applicants could build a 17' X 48' 81/2" (828 s.f) addition without a Variation and that, therefore, the proposal does not meet Zoning Ordinance hardship Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-30-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 standard. Based on that finding, Mr. Perkins gave staff's recommendation for denial of the proposal and informed the ZBA that their decision is final for this case. Richard Rogers inquired if the shed at the back of the lot was on a foundation and was it permitted. Mr. Perkins said the area had been annexed some time ago and all permit records were not available. He did not know if there was a foundation under the shed. Mr. Floros asked if the shed would remain. Edward & Yvonne Steinweg, 1307 Pima Lane, were sworn. in. They said they were indifferent as to the shed remain, .'n nwe i i i i ,g. Mr. Stei g, �sa*d it was, not on a, f6tindation. Ms. Steinweg said the have three growing children, are y well established in the community,, and wanted toinvest in their present home rather that leave the commun,ty. She added that cluo the shape of their lots they investigated many possible designs for an addition and found the best and most economical to be the one they had proposed. She said they feel that where they wish to place the addition will not detract from the appearance of the neighbors' gardens. Ms. Steinweg said this proposal was the best solution aesthetically, also. Mr. Steinweg pointed out that this was the best plan for plumbing connections, too. Ms. Steinweg said they wanted to leave enough back yard for family enjoyment. Ms. Juracek questioned the room measurements on the sketches. She said her calculations showed a 17' room addition and what would the larger room that they are requesting look liike# Mr. Steinweg said after getting the sketches, they visited open houses to get an idea of room sizes and what would fit theirparticular, needs. A 20' family room was found to be more suitable. They also want the room size to accommodate a comer fireplace. Only the family room portion of the addition would encroach into the setback, the kitchen and second floor of the addition would not. Mr. Rogers asked the Steinwegs' intentions regarding the shed. Mr. Steinweg said he had planned to keep it but was flexible. Mr. Rogers said the shed was less desirable than the addition and having both would be the worst of both cases. Mr. Steinweg said that their shed covered their view of the neighbor's shed. Mr. Rogers asked if the Steinwegs had spoken to the neighbors to the rear. They had not. The Steinwegs presented photographs of the back yard to the Board. The improvements would include replacement of the present patio. The master bedroom addition would cost approximately $55,000 and the family room addition would be approximately $120,000 to $150,000, including excavating a basement. This is being considered as a family rather than financial investment. Chuck Engels, 1305 Pima Lane, stood up in the audience to say the Steinwegs were wonderful neighbors and he did not want to see them move from the area. Mr. Rogers asked if the Steinwegs would consider removing the shed as a basis for approval of the Variation request. They responded yes. Ms. Juracek pointed out that the only neighbor who would be affected by this addition was the neighbor with the shed, which would remain regardless of the Steinweg addition. Mr. Floros said he was always in favor of people investing in their homes and remaining in the community. Mr. Rogers said he viewed the proposal as an improvement to the rear yard, especially if the present shed were removed. Mr. Floros agreed the shed should be removed. Michael Blue stated that Section 14.203.C.11 of the Zoning Code permits the ZBA to apply conditions to a Variation. Ms. Juracek asked if the petitioners were willing to accept that condition. Mr. Perkins suggested that they word the Variation approval with a condition to relocate the shed to a place in compliance with zoning requirements. The Steinwegs agreed to this condition. Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Variation to reduce the required rear setback from 25' to Zoning Board of Appeals Arlene Juracek, Chairperson 201, to allow a building addition, under the condition to relocate the shed to a location in conformance with zoning requirements.

The meeting was called to order at 7:36 p.m. and the Board heard two cases previous to this case. At 8:25 p.m., Chairperson Juracek introduced Case No. ZBA-31-99, a request for Rezoning from RI Single-family Residence and CR Conservation Recreation to B3 Community Shopping, and Variations to side exterior yard setback requirements and maximum lot coverage requirements for the establishment of a lighting and electrical store. Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given. Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this case had been given in the form of a newspaper legal ad, signs posted at the property, and a mailing to property owners within 250' of the subject property. Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, Rezoning and two Variations to permiAl construction of an electrical supply store at the comer of Rand Road and Business Center Drive. Mr. Perkins stated that the Village Board approved a rezoning to B3 Community Shopping and Variations for ,z 47,950 square foot electrical supply store on four parcels totaling 2.02 acres in May 1999. He added that the single family residence and landscape business on the subject property have since been demolished. He then stated that the applicant has purchased 10 more feet of property on the north boundary of the site, bringing the total site area to 2.11 acres and proposes to increase the size of the structure to 50,956 square feet and that the 'Site would contain 79 parking spaces, four loading docks, and landscaping. A plat of consolidation to combine the various parcels into a single lot is scheduled for the Plan Commission on Novernber P. Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-31-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 Mr. Perkins stated that the 10' of additional property is zoned RI Single-family Residential and CR Conservation Recreation and must be rezoned to B3 to accommodate the proposal and that the petitioner is seeking Variations to reduce the interior side yard setback from 10 feet to 2 feet for the north driveway and to increase to the maximum permitted lot coverage from 75% to 81.1%. He added that the proposal meets all other zoning code requirements. justi Mr.Perkins described the applicant's fications f6r the proposed'Variations, which were related to the shape of the lot,, it's topography', required easementsem i and IDOT locational req ire entsfor the Rand,Road entrance to the I property, He stated that the combination of those factors make development of the site according to all zoning code requirements difficult while providing for sufficient access for emergency and delivery vehicles, necessary easements, and requirements for driveway location. Mr. Perkins discussed the subject property in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Map Amendments. He stated that the property is located on a principal arterial road near large existing commercial and industrial areas and that the proposed B3 zoning and use of the site will be compatible with those surrounding land uses and zoning districts. He added that the parcel is suitable for the proposed use and the proposed home improvement center will be complementary to similar uses located in the vicinity. He further stated that the Hill Street Nature Preserve buffers the residential areas to the north from the subject property and that the portion of the proposed development nearest the Nature Preserve will contain a small landscape area and an employee parking area which will limit future impacts form the proposal on the adjacent Park. The proposed zoning district and use of the property are consistent with provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, and Rand Road Corridor Plan. Mr. Perkins then described the proposal in terms of the Zoning Code Standard for Variations. He stated that the subject property is odd -shaped and sloped, which constrains its potential development. He added that because of those facts, a positive finding can be made regarding a hardship due to the unique characteristics of the site. He then said that the proposed variations are related to the particular type of building needed by the applicant and access and utility requirements, rather than a desire to maximize total square footage so that a positive finding can be made regarding the purpose of the proposed variation. He then described the site's location adjacent to a nature preserve and that the proposed variations affect the property line shared with the preserve. He stated that the nature preserve parcel will ensure that the proposed variations do not have an adverse impact on nearby properties or neighborhoods and that the limited usage of the employee parking area will limit impacts from the variations on the nature preserve itself. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code standards for Map Amendments and Variations, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend to the Village Board approval of the proposal. Arlene Juracek questioned if the north wall of the building had moved any further north with this plan. Mr. Perkins responded that everything in the plan had shifted 10' north and the building would be 10' larger and explained the changes illustrated in the exhibit. Richard Rogers reminded the group that the trees on the north line were to serve as a buffer zone to the residential area to the north and asked what would happen to them Tom Reindl, 904 Lakewood, Barrington, who is co-owner of Northwest Electric Supply and property owner of this parcel was sworn in and shared a brief history of Northwest Electric. He stated that the planned construction would damage the trees, none of which was a hardwood variety but just the type of trees that grow along fence lines. In dealing with the Park District for purchase of their land Northwest Electric made their proposed driveway available to the Park District for future access. At this time,, all concerned realized a new buffer needed to be established. Northwest Electric wanted to purchase 16' of land and supply the buffer area but it was the Park District's preference to sell only 10' of land and require a cash contribution of $16,000 for landscape material to re-establish a proper buffer. Northwest Electric acquiesced to this request. Mr. Reindl explained that their plan to allow the Park District use of their driveway would also reduce the total number of ingress/egress points needed from Rand Road, which is desirable for IDOT standards. Zoning Board of Appeals Arlene Juracek, Chairperson ZBA-31-99 Page 3 Mr. Rogers said he considered that a great solution and commended Northwest Electric in this endeavor 1, Mr. Rcindl pointed out there would be no parking against the north lot line, all parking would be against the building, Ms. Jurnek asked,what type of interior changes were, being made, ftom the original plans.

At 8:45 p.m., Chairperson Juracek introduced Case No. ZBA-32-99, a request for a Conditional Use for modifications to a PUD and a Lot Coverage Variation to permit decks/patios for 22 residences. Ms. Juracek opened the public hearing and inquired if notice of the case had been given. Mr. Perkins stated that public notice for this case had been given in the form of a newspaper legal ad, signs posted at the property, and a mailing to property owners within 250' of the subject property. Mr. Perkins then introduced the staff memorandum for the item, a Conditional Use for modifications to a PUD and Variations as required to permit decks/patios for 22 residences. He stated that the subject property was recently approved for a 22 -unit 'duplex Planned Unit Development that is currently under construction and that the current approval does not include any patios or decks. He added that the applicant has begun selling units and has received interest from purchasers about adding decks or patios. He explained that the Zoning Code requires that changes to Planned Unit Developments that reduce the originally approved open space must be approved as an amendment to the PUD Mr. Perkins stated that the approved development includes 64,327 square feet of coverage on a 131,434 square foot site (48.9%) and that the R2 district 50% maximum lot coverage would allow an additional 1,390 square feet of lot coverage for the site, or 63.2 square feet per unit. He added that the applicant is requesting a PUD Modification to add decks or patios and a Variation increasing the maximum lot coverage for the site from 50% to 51 % to permit 120 square foot (10' X 12') decks for each unit. Mr. Perkins stated that the reason the petitioner is requesting the PUD modification and Variation is that the proposed 10' X 12' decks would provide a more functional amenity for the future unit owners in the development. He added that the application does not propose a hardship rationale for the Variation. Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA-32-99 Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2 Mr. Perkins acknowledged the applicant's contention that the proposed Variation would tend to make the overall development more appealing and functional for future residents. He added that the decks would promote a better development and would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety, morals comfort, general welfare, Utility prov,tsion or public streets. He fu her stated that the proposed improvements could have a positive impact by making the development more appealing to� residents. He explained that, unfortunately, the applicant does not have a hardship, as specii,fited by the Zoning Ordinance, related to site conditions. Based on its analysis of the proposal with respect to Zoning Code PUD and Conditional Use standards, Mr. Perkins gave staff s recommendation that the ZBA recommend approval of a Conditional Use to modify the"FUD,to permtt patios or decks on the units up to 50% lot coverage. Based on its analysts of the proposal with Code Variation standards, Mr. Perkins gave staffs recomniendation, that the ZBA, den * h respect to, Z,oning ,y the proposed, lot coverage Variation duet a lack of hardship.
