She stated this project also includes an off-site parking agreement for four (4) parking spaces in the municipal deck. Mayor Wilks asked for a motion to defer the resolution authorizing the execution of the parking agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and the Historical Society for consideration with the 2nd reading of the ordinance to grant a Conditional Use permit and Development Code Exception at the February 6, 2007 Village Board meeting.

This ordinance prohibits the use of groundwater as potable water supply by the installation or use of potable water supply wells or by any other method. Village Manager Janonis provided background information regarding Shell Oil's request for the Village to adopt a Groundwater Ordinance. The ordinance would ban the use of groundwater wells within a certain limited area around Shell's facility located at 927 South Busse Road so that Shell Oil can obtain a No Further Remediation Letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). He added that the Village had sought the recommendations of K-Plus Environment Engineering Group and the legal advise of Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins (KT&J) regarding the request. Mr. Janonis stated that based on the opinion of K-Plus there would be no adverse environmental impact to the Village, and from a legal standpoint the Village would be adequately protected if the groundwater ordinance was adopted. Shell Oil and the Village would also enter a limited Environmental Indemnity Agreement. Village Manager Janonis stated adoption of the ordinance would allow the Village to work with Shell Oil to clean-up and redevelop the area. It was noted that the ordinance needs to be corrected to accurately reflect the location as of the Shell Oil facility as 927 Busse Road.
