COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
DECEMBER 9, 1997
I. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Farley called the meeting to order at 7:36 p.m. Present at the meeting were:
Trustees George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Richard Lohrstorfer,
Daniel Nocchi and Irvana Wilks. Staff present included: Village Manager Michael
Janonis, Assistant Village Manager David Strahl, Public Works Director Glen Andler
and Solid Waste Coordinator Lisa Angell.
Ill. MINUTES,
Minutes of November 25, 1997. Motion made by Trustee Nocchi and Seconded by
Trustee Corcoran to accept the Minutes. Trustee Hoefert requested two revisions
to his comments concerning the Minutes. Trustee Wilks requested a revision to her
comments in the Minutes. Members voted to accept the Minutes with revisions from
Trustees Hoefert and Wilks.
III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
None.
Public Works Director Glen Andler provided an overview of the request to change
the route schedule of single-family routes to take advantage of the proximity of
some homes to the Wheeling Township Transfer Station. ARC has informed the
Village that such a reworking of the routes would increase efficiency of waste
collection operations and recycling operations. ARC would cover the cost of
revising the notices and mailing to residents. The proposed route change would
affect about 2100 homes and would be effective February 1, 1998.
Solid Waste Coordinator Lisa Angell stated that the Village would assist ARC in
notifying residents of the change and will assist in drafting the transition materials.
She also stated that ARC has been cooperative in the transition of route changes
in the past.
General comments of the Village Board members included the following items:
There was discussion concerning who was responsible for all the notification
materials to the residents concerning the route change. There was also discussion
concerning the means of this communication to the residents.
1
Solid Waste Coordinator Lisa Angell stated that it is her intention to work closely
with ARC to ensure numerous means of communication is undertaken with the
residents to notify them of the change.
Village Manager Janonis stated that solid waste, yard waste pick-up and recycling
would be on the same day of the week just as before and he will utilize the on -hold
message and channel 17 for additional notifications.
Consensus of the Village Board was to accept the proposed route changes
from ARC Disposal effective February 1, 1998.
Village Manager Janonis provided a general overview of the selection process for
Committee of the Whole topics for the upcoming year. He stated that he has
solicited input from Village Board members and staff members suggesting subject
matters to be considered for Committee of the Whole discussions for the upcoming
year. He also stated that there are a number of items which have already been
committed to during the upcoming year or are already in the pipeline that have been
designated on the tally sheet provided to each Trustee.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
There was some discussion concerning if an itemwere listed, how it would be
determined to be included on the list for discussion for the upcoming year.
Village Manager Janonis responded by stating that he would request a majority
consensus on each item and the staff would bring the item to the Board for
discussion purposes as research was completed.
Consensus of the Village Board members included the following items. There
was consensus to remove discussion of the Busse Road widening from the
list for consideration for 1998. However, the subject should be back for
consideration if there is any movement concerning possible road
improvements by the County.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
There was discussion concerning the details regarding the Underage Tobacco
Purchasing Ordinance and whether the current regulations within the Village Code
could address this issue. There was also general discussion concerning possible
mitigation of noise if a second track is built on the North Central commuter line.
There was also a discussion concerning the use of "P" tickets for possible local theft
ordinance enforcement.

The consensus of the discussion is surhmarized in the attached chart
highlighting the subject matter and projected date of discussion.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager
FROM: William J. Cooney Jr., Director of Community Developmen ,.,,
DATE: December 18, 1997
SUBJECT: Downtown Redevelopment Ad Hoc Committee Strategic Plan
The Downtown Redevelopment Ad Hoc Committee forwards their Strategic Plan for the
redevelopment of the downtown to the Village Board for their review and consideration. In addition,
the committee has developed a draft Request for Proposals that would be utilized to generate
developer's interest for phase I of their plan.
The plan and the RFP are the result of significant dialogue from the committee and numerous
property owners, business owners and residents of Mount Prospect. The committee held two Open
Houses and several public meetings over the past three months to encourage the input of the
community. These forums not only provided the committee with additional insights, but also
confirmed that there is a consensus that continued redevelopment of the downtown was desired.
The committee would like to make a brief presentation of their plan to the Village Board at the
December 23rd Committee of the Whole meeting. In addition, Finance Director Brian Caputo will
be present to highlight the financial feasibility of the proposal. It is the committee's desire to obtain
the Village Board's support for the plan and to move forward with the RFP process in January. I
have also attached two draft time lines that highlight the steps necessary to move this project
forward.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their December 23rd meeting. The Committee and staff will be present at the
meeting to answer any questions related to the plan.

Mr. William J. Cooney, AICP
Director of Community Development
Village of Mount Prospect
100 South Emerson Street
Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056
Dear Mr. Cooney:
We are pleased to submit this report on our market study for downtown Mount Prospect. This
report presents the results of our research on the competitive market for potential residential and
commercial development in the downtown area, particularly within the central portion of the
established TIF district.
This market research was conducted in support of the Village's ongoing planning efforts for the
downtown. It is also intended to be used by the Village in soliciting developer interest and
proposals for new projects in the area.
Our work has involved on-site inspection of current conditions in downtown Mount Prospect and
the surrounding area, as well as collection and analysis of a variety of data related to the demand
for and competitive supply of residential, retail, office and other commercial properties. As you
know, this analysis was conducted in coordination with the ongoing efforts of the Village and the
ad hoc Downtown Redevelopment Committee to prepare a plan for key areas in the downtown.
The following report contains the results of our assessment of current conditions in the
downtown area, trends in the larger competitive market, and opportunities for development in
the downtown that will be supported in that market. We have found that,, given the,
accessibility and amenities of the area, together with demographic, econo. 'e, anrc.ompetitive
conditions in the surrounding market area, downtown Mount Prospect can support substantial
new residential and commercial development over the next several years.
Mr. William J. Cooney 2
November 26, 1997
Please call if we can provide any additional information or answer any questions concerning
our analysis or recommendations.
Sincerely,
nary R. lie, CRE, AICP
Senior Vice President

Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis
REGIONAL LOCATION MAP
PH'i'5Jk , FLNCT0&S `. T �EJ2Q)Y"1'' WT PROSPECT MARKET
In order to fully understand the interrelationships between downtown Mount Prospect and its
surrounding market areas and competitive trade areas, it is useful to begin with a review of the
physical setting and current physical conditions in the area.
n r sDect's- radia! armee i !C
Mount Prospect's central business district was first established as an agricultural stop on the
Chicago and North Western's northwest rail line in the 1850s. The naive Mount Prospect was
adopted by a development -minded property owner, Erza Eggleston, to reflect the fact that the
highest point in Cook County was on Northwest Highway just to the west of the dom.itown.
The surrounding area was settled by mostly German settlers -- including such families as the
Busse's and Wille's among others -- who farmed the surrounding countryside and shipped their
harvest from the Mount Prospect station. At one time, much of the existing downtown area,
surrounding the train station, was occupied by onion warehouses. Other products shipped from
the station included dairy products and produce. The area served as a free-standing,
agriculturally -oriented market center.
By the time the Village of Mount Prospect was established in 1917, the area had begun a
transition to becoming a full-service commercial center, and a significant commuter stop for
workers traveling to Chicago. The first Village hall was located at the current site of Village
Commons, later relocating to various sites in the downtown area. In 1975 the Village hall moved
into the former Mount Prospect State Bank building at the corner of Emerson and Busse, where it
remains today. Over the years, the Bank has been a significant continuing anchor in the
downtown, with successive moves from the northwest corner of Busse and Main; to the current
Village Hall building; to its present location as the First Chicago bank on the south side of Busse,
east of Emerson. By the 1950s and 1960s, 7with, the rapid development of.the rest of Mount
Prospect, the downtown had evolved to become a full-service suburban commercial center, with.
a significant commuter component.
Important elements of that full --service commercial core have left downtown in the past few
decades. The area has lost such representative businesses as the movie theater (entertainment),
its traditional hardware and lumber retailers (representative of the comparison goods categories),
and most of the pedestrian -oriented, branded retailers once typical of downtown enters. It has
retained, however, its banking operations, all of the key government institutions in the
community, a number of successful restaurants and food retailers, and a significant component of
professional and personal service businesses.
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 1
None of these changes are unique to downtown Mount Prospect; nor do they indicate any
inherent flaws in the commercial appeal of they area, which remains at the center of a stable and
affluent population base, with good accessibility and visibility. Rather, these changes are
reflections of more general changes in business and consumer behavior and preferences that have
affected communities throughout the county.
From a market perspective, downtown Mount Prospect has adapted to recent market changes in
several different ways. That portion of downtown north of the railroad and west of Wille has
evolved a highway -oriented character, with retail establishments taking advantage of the
visibility and accessibility offered by Northwest Highway and Central Road. The Clocktower
Place development has added a significant residential component to that mix.
On the south side of the tracks, specialty retailers' -and service businesses have kept a compact and
manageable commercial strip well -occupied. Destination -oriented, locally -owned businesses
appear to do well in this setting.
North of Northwest Highway, and east of Wille -- in the area that is the subject of this analysis --
adjustments have been slower in coming. In part this may be due to the more complex mix of
existing uses, larger sites with a diverse mix of ownerships and structures, and some uncertainties
regarding the future use of key sites, including Village Hall, the south end of the library block,
and the Northwest Electric property. This area may also have somewhat greater expectations to
serve as a central place and civic center for the larger community, functions which must be
carefully planned to combine with more common commercial uses. In analyzing private market
demand for various uses in this area, we have kept in mind the community's interest in retaining
and enhancing this central place, civic center function.
E lie , ysical Ihire i 1 v tt_ r Prospect
t
Downtown Mount Prospect is generally bounded by Central Road on the north (with a small
commercial extension on the west side of Main Street), Prospect Avenue on the South, Emerson
and Maple on the east, and the intersection of Northwest Highway and Central Road on the west.
The downtown area adjoins well-established residential areas on the east, north, and south.
Overall, downtown Mount Prospect is not a large area, comprising some or all of about 12
blocks, or about 15 acres. The downtown is considerably smaller in overall dimensions -- and in
development scale, than the downtowns of neighboring communities such as Arlington Heights,
Des Plaines, and Park Ridge. From a market perspective, this influences the scale_of potential
development, both for individual projects and in terms of the area's potential to develop critical
mass as a destination point. At the same time, it presents the opportunity to significantly
transform the downtown's image as a community center with a few key projects. The plan
developed by the ad hoc Downtown Redevelopment Committee includes projects capable of
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 2
making such a transformation.
Subareas in Dowrnt ry Prospect
For market analysis purposes, the downtown area is divisible into several distinct submarkets.
The right-of-way of the Union Pacific (formerly Chicago and North Western) railroad runs
southeast to northwest through the area, paralleling Northwest Highway. The combination of the.
railroad right-of-way, adjacent commuter parking lots, and the parallel four -lane Northwest
Highway effectively divide the commercial uses along Prospect Avenue .from commercial areas
north of Northwest Highway.
The present redevelopment planning (and this market analysis) are focused on areas north of the
rail/highway corridor, and in particular on that portion of the downtown bounded by Northwest
Highway on the south, Wille Street on the west, Central Road on the north, and Emerson/Maple
on the east.
'Ehe' ax Inc ent nt+i a ci Di Ntrict
In 1985 the Village established a tax increment financing district in the downtown area, intended
to foster redevelopment of the area through public improvements that would be funded through
the increment in property taxes resulting from private reinvestments in,the benefited area. The
district was expanded in 1988 and again in 1993. The current boundaries are shown on the MAF
on the following page.
In 1993, the Village initiated the first major improvements .within the TIF district, providing land.
assemblage and infrastructure improvements to support redevelopment of the block west of
Wille, between Central and Northwest Highway�j That development, known as the Clocktower
Place project, involved the construction of a. 7,500 square foot shopping center at the northwest
corner of Wille and Northwest Highway; and a 139 unit condominium project in three structures
on most of the remainder of the block. Two of those three condominium structures have been
completed, with the third due to begin construction soon.
With'the limited time horizon of the TIF district approaching, the Village is cun-ently moving to
facilitate redevelopment in the remainder of the TIF district, east of Wille Street an&west of
Maple. This planning area is depicted in the MAP on the following page.

Existing structures in the planning area comprise a variety of building types, including:
ad" i na tae and TwonSt (ffic et i e i e ti;a ": Included in this
category are a variety of frame and masonry buildings along the north frontage of Northwest
Highway; on both the north and south sides of Busse Avenue, west of Main Street; on the east
side of Main Street, between Northwest Highway and Busse; and on the east side of Emerson,
also between Northwest Highway and Busse. These structures appear to have been constricted
at various times over the past 40 to 75 years. Many, but not all of them share the English "Tudor
style that typifies downtown Mount Prospect north of the railroad corridor. They primarily ,
depend on street side parking, supplemented by scattered parking lots on intervening lots or to
the rear of the buildings.
These structures are best suited to serving local business tenants, including small retailers,
professional offices, and limited amounts of second -floor residential apartments. The limited
amount of dedicated parking associated with these structures limits marketability to the broader
base of national commercial tenants, and, to some extent, to local. professional tenants (attorneys,
doctors, etc.) needing high visibility, easy parking locations.
;yet_ , in le- etail St ucture * This category includes the Carriage House restaurant
at Northwest Highway and Busse/Wille; and the Fannie Mae candy store at Northwest Highway
and Emerson. Both have their own dedicated parking lots, although the Carriage House meets
some of its parking demand through adjacent parking on Busse.
These structures. while not of .recent construction, are well -adapted to current commercial market
requirements, due to their high -visibility locations, proximity to the commuter rail station and
parking, and their dedicated parking lots.
Modern Auto -oriented a t"- n" Re -tail Winer : Three properties on the fringes of the
planning/redevelopment area fit this category. On the southwest corner of Central and Wille is
the Virginia Court shopping center, which currently, is configured with four vacant units and
ample parking spaces. At the northwest corner of Central Road and Main Street. is Central Plaza
shopping center, the former site of Doretti's pharmacy, a long-time Mount Prospect fixtures.
The third property in this category is the retail component of the Clocktower Place development,
at the northwest corner. of Wille Street and Northwest Highway, comprising 7,500 square feet of
leasable area, and currently configured with 4 retail units.
Central Plaza suffers from limited parking and difficult ingress and egress from its relatively
small site. The other two centers have better access, although the Clocktower property has
limited in and out traffic patterns. The Virginia Court center is entirely vacant at the present
time.
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis
C L A. R 1 0 N
Modern Multi-�"'t , Office Structures: The First Chicago bank building east of Emerson and
south of Busse is the only structure fitting this category.
This property is well -used by its owner, with the remaining space leasing well to outside tenants.
The primary limitation of the property is parking, with some of the need being met by a lot one-
half block to the north, on the east side of Emerson.
r ur _ , ctrrarr er " t • The block bounded by Busse, Main, Central, and
Wille includes several specialized commercial structures. The largest of these is the Northwest
Electric pronerty, incorporating a showroom and adjacent warehouse. Also in this block are an
autobody repair shop and a gas station at the southwest corner of Main and Central
Of these, the gas station is suited to its location at the intersection of two high-volume arterial
streets, but has little relationship to other commercial components of the downtown. The
autobody shop is less well -situated. And the Northwest Electric property is constrained by its
current site area and structure. All are older structures.
J!uhlie _Buil ings: Major government buildings in the area include the Library, occupying the
northern portion of the block bounded by Central, Emerson, Busse, and Main; the Senior
Citizen's Center in the same block (formerly the Village Hall); and the current Village Hall at the
southwest corner of Busse and Emerson.
Since it was once a private commercial structure, the Village Hall might have some potential
utility as a private office property. However, it is relatively small by modern office standards,
and appears to have unusual floor plans, due either to its original design as a bank, or its current
use as a municipal office building
�Si�le- '� a . By Rgstdenccee..; The planning area includes four single-family homes, two on the
east side of Wille, and two on the east side of Emerson, north of Busse.

The pattern of land uses on the south side of the railroad tracks is cohesive, both in terms of
physical structures and land uses. However, the pattern of uses on the north side is more
complex and disjointed, with a wider mix of uses, more vacant or underutilized sites and no clear
and consistent orientation to the major arterials. From a market perspective, this is confusing for
both potential customers and potential developers.
The combination of land uses in the planning/redevelopment area currently offer few
opportunities for mutual support. The commercial uses are scattered along the three major
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 5
arterial corridors and compete individually, rather than as units, for the attention of drivers and a
relatively small number of pedestrians. Other than in the First Chicago building, there is no
apparent concentration of professional services or other office uses.
Government functions are, on the other hand, well -focused in the area north and south of Busse
between Main and Emerson.

The MAP on the following page shows the configurations and estimated sizes for key sites in the
study area. These sites have been delineated without regard for existing ownership patterns, and
with only limited consideration of existing uses. They represent our understanding of general
areas that could become available for development or redevelopment.
Parcel A is the entire block bounded by Central, Main, Busse, and Wille Street. It is the largest
potentially assembleable development site in the planning area. From a market perspective, it is
notable for its long frontage on two important arterial streets, its reasonably large size (slightly
under four acres), and its simple rectangular configuration. Its most limited frontage is on Wille
Street, due in part to the access restrictions at its intersection with Northwest Highway and lack
of signalization at Central.
Parcel B is a much smaller parcel, at slightly less than three-quarters of an acre. Its triangular
configuration is a limiting factor, but access and visibility from Northwest Highway and Main
Street is very good and is actually maximized by the triangular shape. If vacant and available for
development (and not considering the relationships between this block and the Busse Avenue.
frontage to the north, this property is adaptable to a wide variety of moderate-sized, highway -
oriented commercial uses.
Parcel C is mostly in public ownership. It is regular in shape and large enough, at about 1.5
acres, to support a variety of uses, public or private. It has reasonable .Main Street frontage, but
less commercial potential than parcels A, B, or D.
Parcel D is about 2.85 acres in size with a shape that is only slightly irregular and readily
adaptable to a variety of uses. It has the best visibility from the train station of any property in
the planning area, and extensive frontage on Northwest Highway and Main Street. It is,
therefore, not surprising that this block includes some of the more successful continuing retail
businesses in the downtown (Fannie Mae, Continental Bakery, and the Sakura Restaurant).
Parcel E has limited commercial appeal. Although it is relatively large, at two acres, it is also
shallow, comprising only the western half of the block. The best commercial opportunity is

offered by the frontage on Central; but that frontage is short, and, in this location, has a
predominantly residential character.
Ageelsibility and Trgfflc Circulgion
Downtown Mount Prospect is highly accessible and supports heavy volumes of vehicular traffic
on its three major arterial streets.
In spite of an active commuter rail station, virtually all downtown businesses are primarily
dependent on automobile -oriented traffic, rather than pedestrian traffic. This automobile -
dependency is likely to continue even if more sites in the downtown area are developed for
residential use.
Traffic counts in the downtown area are depicted in the MAP reproduced on the following page.
Traffic counts are high downtown, with the heaviest concentration along Main Street and
Northwest Highway. Though situated in the heart of downtown, Busse and Emerson have
considerably lower daily traffic counts.
It is useful to compare traffic counts in downtown Mount Prospect to other key commercial
centers in the area. The MAP on the following page shows traffic counts for 1994 as compiled
by the Illinois Department of Transportation for northwest suburbs surrounding Mount Prospect.
The following TABLE compares counts at several key intersections. The combination of Main
Street with either Central Road or Northwest Highway compares well with comparable
intersections, such as Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway; and it is not far behind
such obviously attractive intersections as Rand Road and Main/Route 83.

With 1,900 boardings and over 1,900 allightings daily, the Mount Prospect station is one of the
busiest among the 22 stations along Metra's Harvard -Chicago Northwest line. It is second only
to Arlington Heights during peak morning and evening travel times.

Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis
Q,i°,rl " N AL DEMOGRAfflIC S
The starting point for assessing the development demand for any category of real estate --
residential, retail, office, or industrial -- is a thorough understanding of the basic trends in
population, employment, and income within the market area.
level ret Stage
Mount Prospect and its neighboring communities are at or rapidly approaching the stage
traditionally perceived as "full -buildout," with relatively little vacant land left for original
development. Communities in the Chicago metropolitan area that reached this stage in the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s -- communities such -as Skokie, Niles, and Park Ridge -- usually
experienced gradual population decline, due to a fixed number of households and a continuing
nationwide trend toward smaller household sizes. However, a significant change in expectations
for regional and subregional growth has occurred in the past five years., led by continuing region
wide growth in new jobs and increasing acceptance in the marketplace of infill development and
of denser redevelopment of sites in many older communities.
] c n n "c Growth and EmnlormeDt3ren 1.
The common perception of the northeastern Illinois metropolitan area between 1970 and 1990
was that, after a period of rapid post-war expansion, the region's rate of growth was slowing.
This was attributed to a variety of factors, including competition from Sunbelt areas and from
overseas for new jobs and the associated population.
In fact, even though population growth in the region was relatively low during these decades,
employment growth was significant. This was an era during which labor force participation rates
increased substantially, particularly due to the entry of increasing numbers of women into the job
market. As a result, a modest increase in population and in the number of households supported
a strong increase in business activity and the creation of new jobs.
By the early 1990s, there was little additional opportunity to fill new jobs from among segments
of the population that had not previously been a part of the market. As the official employment
and population forecasting agency for the region, the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission
(NIPQ came to the conclusion that this area was likely to add many new jobs in the coining
decades: and that the increase in population and households that would be needed to fill these
jobs would be proportionately much greater than past experience might have suggested.
NIPC forecasts of employment growth between 1990 and 2020 indicate a region -wide increase of
more than 37% over the period -- from 3,845,018 jobs in 1990, to 5,280,929 in 2020. In the
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 8
E R 4 NTIA A
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis
C L A R 1 0 N
Northwest Suburban communities of Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Prospect
Heights, Rolling Meadows, and Wheeling, employment growth of more than 36% is expected
over this same period. Mount Prospect, with a large established employment base, is forecasted
by NIPC to see an additional 14,238 jobs by 2020, a 52% increase from 1990 levels.
ReSidential PoDulation Trends and Forecasts
Population forecasts for Near North and Northwest suburban communities in a band from
Evanston on the east to Palatine on the west -- with Mount Prospect at the center show a
substantial increase in population (12.78%) between 1990 and 2020. Although Mount Prospect
is forecasted to grow by only 0.42% over that time, that is a function of the forecasters
assumptions regarding available residential development opportunities. There is- no reason to
assume Mount Prospect could not grow at a similar pace as the larger subregion, if development
sites were available. The TABLE and MAP on the following page depict anticipated population
growth patterns in the north and northwest suburbs.
u.sehold TrepJ1 app 4 ol:ecasts
Even more relevant for the residential market potential of downtown Mount Prospect, household
growth in the area should be significant. Nearly 39,000 additional households are forecasted by
NIPC between 1990 and 2020 in the 13 Near North/Northwest area communities... a 19.38%
increase. 2,356 of those additional households would have to be in Mount Prospect, in order to
meet even the modest 0.42% population growth currently forecasted for the community.
Household trends and forecasts are shown in the following 'CABLE and MAP.
In the remainder of this report, we will consider how these, and other factors are likely to play
out in downtown Mount Prospect over the next several years and more. We begin with an
assessment of the retail market factors in the area.

THE RE IAJI, MARKET IN DQWNIQjV-jS N01INT PROSPECT
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis
The retail industry is not yet entirely controlled by national and regional chain store operations.
But, the national chains dominate most modern retail centers and most major goods categories;
and they have become prerequisite components for the development of most new retail projects,
from the largest regional center, to big -box power centers, even down to smaller community and
neighborhood centers. Without leasing commitments from at least some of these so-called
"credit" tenants, new retail projects become difficult to finance and build.
There are still many locally -owned, independent retailers, the so-called "Mom and Pop"
operations. But their numbers continue to dwindle, particularly in the retailing of branded
comparison goods such as clothing, furniture, books, and hardware. Part of the disadvantage for
the local retailer in their competition with national chains has to do with economies of scale in
purchasing and marketing. These merchants have lost many of their natural advantages. Many
manufacturers used to offer upscale merchandise lines that the customer would only find in
specialty stores. Now, those same quality goods show up in every large chain or department
store. Local retailers need a relatively higher mark-up to support their operations; but changes in
manufacturer's suggested retail prices have not escalated rapidly enough to continue to provide
that margin. Meanwhile, the larger chains often have the leverage to negotiate arrangements
with suppliers allowing for a variety of benefits, including advertising allowances and
advantageous return privileges, in addition to lower wholesale prices.
All of this is not to say that there is no longer any place for local retailers, especially those that
can provide specialized goods or high levels of service to their customers. But, for the most part,
those local retailers who remain will be less than the majority of tenant space in a new center. It
is, therefore, the market prospects for national tenants that need to be considered first in
assessing the potential for neve retail development in downtown Mount Prospect.
Nat' nal and Regyional Retail Trends
Retail development has been one of the most active segments of the national development
marketplace throughout the 1990s. Although the office market, and to some degree the industrial
and residential markets have seen varying degrees of downturn, retail developers have continued
to build neve space at relatively consistent rates since early in the decade.
The Chicago area has been among the most active retail markets in the country. This reflects, in
large part, the strength and size of the local consumer market, which has attracted wave after
wave of new chain competitors anxious to have a presence in this market. In the midst -of this
fierce competition, some relatively recent entrants to the market have failed, closing stores and
creating numerous vacancies in recently built space, not all of which has been re -absorbed.
Competition is particularly intense in such categories as home improvement, sporting goods,

groceries, appliances, and books. Nevertheless, vacancy rates, overall, in the Chicago market
have been relatively low, although there is clear evidence of overbuilding in certain segments and
local markets.
The Local Retail Market -- Consumer Characteristics
In order to understand the retail potential of downtown Mount Prospect, we have analyzed
demographic trends within one-half mile, one mile, three miles, and five miles of the intersection
of Northwest Highway and Main Street. Demographic data on the population within each of
these concentric areas, generated by National Decision Systems, is reproduced in its entirety in
the addenda to this report.
The one-half mile radius encompasses those areas that might conceivably generate pedestrian
traffic for downtown businesses or for the train station. The one -mile radius can be viewed as
the area from which shoppers might be attracted to downtown convenience -oriented retailers.
The three-mile radius incorporates much of the rest of Mount Prospect, and portions of adjacent
communities. This is an important market radius for many potential national chain stores in
selecting candidate locations. The five -mile radius represents a larger northwest suburban
market from which specialty retailers or service providers might hope to attract customers. This
larger area also allows us to examine some of the ways in which the local market for downtown
Mount Prospect differs from the larger suburban area.
r�uiatigrt
Within the one-half mile and the one -mile radii, population has been declining moderately and is
projected to continue to decline. In 1990 there were 4,077 people within one-half mile of
downtown; by 1997 this population was estimated to be 3,873, a decline of approximately 5%.
Similarly, population within a one -mile radius was 14,944 in 1990, declining by about 6% to
14,033 by 1997. These population estimates, generated through extrapolation of census and
other data using nationwide models, need to be used with some caution when applied to such
small areas. For example, it is not clear that these estimates account for the construction of
specific projects, such as the Clocktower Place development, which added about 90 housing
units to the area.
Such estimates become more reliable when considering larger areas. Moving farther outward
from downtown, modest increases in population become apparent. The three-mile radius
population was 121,372 in 1990, grew to 126,753 by 1997 (a 4.4% increase) and is projected to
continue to climb to 130,722 by 2002. In the five -mile ring, the population was 283,754 in 1990,
increased nearly 6.9% to 303,466 in 1997, and is expected to increase an additional 4.4% in the
next five years, reaching 316,752 by 2002.

The average age of the population surrounding downtown increases with proximity, reaching
more than 40 years in both the one-half mile and one -mile market areas. The drop to 37.52 years
in the five -mile ring is a significant differences.
Households
The National Decision System data reports both historical and projected declines in households
in both the one-half and one -mile radii around downtown Mount Prospect. Here again, small
area counts must be considered with caution, since they may not directly account for specific past
projects, and certainly can't anticipate the sort of changes currently being considered in the
downtown redevelopment planning process.
At the larger scales, increases in households have been occurring and are projected to continue,
with an 11.2% increase in households between 1990 and 2002 in the three-mile ring; and a
12.6% increase in the five -mile ring. As previously discussed, household growth typically out
paces overall population growth as the average size of households continues to decline. 1990
household sizes in the area were in the range of 2.5 to 2.6 people per household.
mrrlovmeent
The population surrounding downtown Mount Prospect is heavily concentrated in the Executive
and Managerial, Professional Specialty, Sales, and Administrative Support categories. This
pattern changes, but only slightly, as the market is expanded farther from the downtown area,
becoming slightly more blue-collar in nature.
The typical family in the area has multiple workers, with 64.9% of all families within one-half
mile having two, three, or more workers. This percentage increases slightly as the market area is
expanded, reaching 69.2% in the five -mile area. Clearly, the majority of families in the area will
have limited opportunities for shopping, placing a premium on convenience in this, as in most
other retail markets.
Income
Average 1997 household income estimates for the area are relatively high. Looking at each
successive ring moving out from the downtown, average income begins at $74,163 in the one-
half mile radius, increases to $78,235 in the ore -mile area, and $76,526 within three miles,
before declining to $74,564 in the five -mile radius. Apparently, income levels in the residential
areas nearest the center of Mount Prospect are slightly lower than those in the next tier of
predominantly single-family neighborhoods, within one mile, then begin to drop with additional

distance.
Measured on a per capita basis, the same pattern is evident.
Hou n
The vast majority of housing units in the area is owner -occupied, with nearly 90% of all housing
units within the one -mile radius in this category as of 1990. However, the percentage of renter -
occupied units increases significantly with distance from the downtown, reaching over 30% for
the five -mile area.
As of 1990, by far the majority of workers in the area commuted to their jobs by private
automobile, usually driving alone. Only 7.74% of workers within three miles of downtown took
public transportation. This percentage did increase with closer proximity to downtown and
access to the commuter station and bus routes. Nevertheless, only 12.42% of workers within
one-half mile of downtown reported using public transit in 1990.
The Local Retail Mark, -`o —Competitive upt). y
For purposes of assessing the competitive retail environment, we have inventoried shopping
centers within a three mile radius of downtown Mount Prospect. There are 26 centers in this
area, ranging in size from three -store neighborhood convenience centers to the Randhurst
regional mall. These centers contain a total of 377 occupied store units. A listing of these
centers and their current tenants is reproduced in the addenda.
Each tenant in these centers was assigned to a category according to the federal government's
Standard Industrial. Classification (SIC) system. The TABLE on.the following page shows the
breakdown of businesses by both one -digit and more detailed two -digit categories.
By far the majority of tenants in competitive centers -- more than 66% -- were involved in
traditional retail trade. In large part, this reflects the influence of Randhurst, with its full range
of comparison goods retailers. However, the area is also well -served by food stores (31 units or
8.29% of the total) and eating and drinking places (71 units or 18.98% of the total. By
comparison, downtown Mount Prospect has few hard goods retailers or food stores;--lthough it is
well represented in the eating and drinking establishment category.
Particularly if one sets aside Randhurst, the remaining centers reveal that, although routinely

characterized as , pin ', centers, much of the space in a typical strip center is occupied by non -
retail establishments providing various kinds of �eri, as well as a modest representation of
financial institutions. Fully 28.07% of all "retail" units in the market area were devoted to
various forms of personal services (e.g. barber shops and beauty shops), business services (e.g.
printing shops), amusement and recreation services (e.g. arcades, health clubs), and
health services (e.g. doctors and dentists). In this respect, these more modern, highway -oriented
centers are much closer in character to the business mix currently found in downtown Mount
Prospect than some people might realize. The primary distinctions are in the design of the
structures and configuration of buildings and parking areas, rather than in function.
Overall, the market area has a significant concentration of convenience goods and convenience
service providers, mostly arrayed along the system of high-volume arterial streets. There is
limited opportunity for additional convenience goods -related development in the downtown area;
that which does occur will primarily be ancillary services supporting continuing residential
development in the immediate vicinity, as well as existing residential areas surrounding
downtown
Retail ,iDoortunitiesfor Downig-w—pr o s eat
National tenants or dominant regional tenants (e.g. Dominick's and Jewel in the foods category)
can be found in Randhurst, and in the more modern centers on Rand Road and along Route 83 to
the south. These tenants clearly have tended to focus on the automobile -oriented traffic along the
area's major arterial streets. There are, however, indications that some of these tenants are
increasingly willing to consider a less traditional setting, including new downtown developments
recently completed, under construction, or planned in downtowns from Highland Park, to Oak
Park, to Park Ridge and Arlington Heights. However, adequate parking, usually in open lots at
least partially visible to the passing motorist, remains a primary concern in these suburban
downtowns settings. In the absence of adequate parking area to support these destination -
oriented comparison goods retailers, opportunities for new retail development in downtown are
likely to be limited to convenience -oriented retailers and service -providers in relatively small
spaces ancillary to other uses, such as residential, condominiums or apartments.
In terms of the scale of additional retail space that could be supported in downtown Mount
Prospect, site and design issues are more limiting than are either the location or the purchasing
power and competitive supply in the surrounding market. Traffic counts are strong, as are the
income characteristics of the surrounding population. Randhurst and the variety of retail arrayed
along Rand Road represent significant competition. But there is likely still opportunity to
accommodate many of the smaller to mid-sized specialty retailers that continue to enter and
expand in the Chicago market. If a large enough site were made available to accommodate larger
store units such as Old Navy or Whole Foods, a center in the range of 40,000 to 70,000 square
feet might be supportable. If, however, unit sizes are smaller, and/or parking is limited, retailing
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 15
C L A R 1 0
opportunities are more likely to be on the scale of the 7,500 square foot center built as part of the
Clocktower Place development.
Some of the concepts discussed for downtown Mount Prospect would require a form of parking
structure to avoid an auto -oriented character. While we continue to think that structured parking
has limited appeal for retailers and their customers, some downtown developments in the region
are proceeding with structured parking concepts. The Village may find a developer willing to
consider such a concept if the costs can be justified by the scale of the development. However,
the Village should consider the risks associated with a slow lease up and/or development pace.
In any event, structured parking on one side of Main supporting retail on the other, is unlikely to
be successful.
Based on our review of existing retailers in the three-mile radius, as well as various national and
regional quality -credit chains looking in the area, there appear to be some gaps or additional
opportunities in the following categories:
• Specialty Apparel
• Arts & Crafts/Hobbies Supplies
• Housewares, Furniture and Furnishings
• Eating & Drinking Establishments (bagel shops, ice cream and yogurt shops, urban -
oriented restaurants)
Future non -retail developments, particularly residential developments, in the downtown area are
likely to have limited impact on the overall retail potential in the downtown. For example, an
additional residential development on the scale of the Clocktower project (139 units) would add
only that many households and probably less than 260 individuals to the market. This would
represent a small fraction of the existing population in even the one-half mile market radius
around downtown. And it would be insignificant as a retail demand generator, compared to the
volumes of automobile traffic passing through the area.
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 16
Ugal lepants.
Local tenants -- non -franchised, non -national credit businesses -- can and should continue to be
an important element in the downtown Mount Prospect business environment. However, these
tenants will not, by themselves, support a substantial new construction program. Rather, they
represent the primary pool of potential tenants for retained existing retail space (such as along
Busse Avenue), and may also be expected to fill a minority of the space in any newly developed
retail or residential/retail project.
The most important category for local tenant recruitment may be in the eating & drinking
establishment category. In our opinion, the existing base of successful restaurants downtown
represents a focal point for future commercial expansion. Although it might be possible to attract
national restaurant operations to some sites downtown based on traffic counts and area
demographics, many of these businesses will require site sizes and/or parking configurations that
are either unavailable or undesirable in downtown Mount Prospect. Local operations, however,
similar to Mrs. P's, the Carriage, Sakura, or the Village Inn, usually are more amenable to non -
standardized building and parking configurations.

THE . D � IAL MAR,KEI IN DOWNTOWN MOUT PROSEECI
In assessing the market potential for residential development in downtown Mount Prospect, we
have begun with certain assumptions, derived either from the community's preferences, as
established through the downtown planning process, or from observation of the area.
First, free-standing single-family homes are not an appropriate use in an area as compact and
intensively used as downtown Mount Prospect. Second, the community wishes to limit
residential density to a degree, consistent with the carrying capacity and planning objectives for
the area. Beyond these limitations, however, the community is willing to consider a variety of
residential concepts, ranging in scale from single-family townhome structures to multi -family
developments with maximum heights of approximately six to eight stories. The residential
portion of the Clocktower Place project has often been cited as representing a desirable scale of
residential use in the downtown area. The community is also amenable to a variety of unit types
and forms of ownership, including flats, two-story units, and possibly loft -like designs. Either
owner -occupied condominiums or rental units may be acceptable, so long as they are supportable
in the market.
Accordingly, our residential market analysis is divided into three segments: (1) owner -occupied
mid -rise multi -family structures; (2) owner -occupied townhomes, and (3) renter -occupied multi-
family structures.
THE MID -RISE CONDOMINIUM MARKET
Irends in ffie Near Ngrib and Norlhwest Suburban w arket.
The most comparable market area for mid -rise condominium development in downtown Mount
Prospect is the 13 communities comprising the Near North and Northwest suburban market area.
In order to assess activities in this market, we obtained data from Tracy Cross & Associates, a
firm that regularly monitors residential development and sales activities in the Chicago area.
Data from 1992 to 1997 was examined. The TABLE on the following page presents information
on each of the projects monitored in this area, including opening date, the pace of sales, and unit
pricing.
Within the Near North and Northwest submarkets, a total of 26 projects have been marketing
since 1992. There were a total of 2,383 units in these projects. Average project size was 92
units.
These units ranged in price from $91,290 at the Mallard Cove Condos which opened in
Arlington Heights in early 1997; to $231,150 at the Lincoln Ridge Carriage Houses in Skokie,
Downtown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 18
Near North
Northwest
opened in September, 1996. Both of these represent somewhat atypical projects in the market.
A more representative price range might be between $119,350 at Perry Street Commons in Des
Plaines and $215,900 at the New Biscuit Condos in Evanston.
Average unit price for the market area was $176,400. The highest priced units were found in the
communities of Evanston, Prospect Heights, Skokie, and Wheeling, indicating no particular
geographic hierarchy in price. 339 units were marketed in Mount Prospect, comprising the
Pontarelli projects downtown and at Creekside at Old Orchard, at an average price of $171,731
per unit.
The number of mid -rise condominium units opening per year varied substantially from year to
year, peaking in 1996 (1,089 units), but showing neither an overall increase or decline over the
analysis period. The average number of units opening per year was 611 for the five years
between 1993 and 1997.
The strong pace of condominium sales in this area throughout the 1990s is consistent with
several of the demographic trends that were discussed earlier. In particular, the combination of
an aging population, smaller household sizes and relatively high incomes makes for strong
underpinnings in a mid -rise condominium market. Furthermore, the accelerating pace of both
population and household growth seen since 1990 is expected to continue for several decades.
This general population growth, combined with the movement of the baby boom population
bulge into an age bracket in which children leave home and people decide to dowmsi.ze their
housing, should continue to support condominium development throughout this market area for
the foreseeable future, at least at the same pace experienced so far in the 1990s.
In our opinion, this market can continue to support sales of approximately 600 units per year,
recognizing that this would represent a significant portion of the total projected household
growth in the market area over the next several decades.
id -Rise Co d.- 1Hit e1 t Mou Owed
Mount Prospect had 339 new mid -rise condominium units between 1992 and the present, all cif
which opened for sale in 1994. Overall average price per unit in those projects has been
5171,731. Unit prices have varied with variations in size, amenities, and design. The range of
prices in Mount Prospect has been between $165,000 and $190,000. This range clearly falls near
the middle of the larger market.

Pace of Sales in the Camarable Marke
The average project in the market area has sold out at a pace of 3.7 units per month, with an
average marketing period of approximately 36 months. Experience at the Shires at Clocktower
Place has been somewhat slower, selling at a rate of only 2.6 units per month. However, that
project has reportedly experienced some problems in development related more to the particular
circumstances of the developer, than to conditions in the market. We see no reason to expect a
quality, well -marketed project such as this in downtown Mount Prospect to sell at less than the
overall average for the market, without, for the moment, considering pricing variations.
It is unlikely that a condominium project in downtown Mount Prospect will compete with all of
the projects in the comparable market area. Rather, we would anticipate the majority of sales to
be generated from a more localized market, comprising Mount Prospect, Des Plaines, Arlington
Heights, and, to some extent, Prospect Heights and Elk Grove Village. The most directly
competitive projects will likely be in Des Plaines, Arlington Heights, or in other portions of
Mount Prospect.
The downtown market will need to absorb the 50 units planned for the remaining building in the
Clocktower development. Assuming that this project reaches marketing stage in 1998, we
estimate that it might achieve 3 sales per month, selling out in 17 months. Considering other
activity in the area, we currently estimate that an additional mid -rise condominium project could
enter the market simultaneously, selling at a similar pace of 3 units per month. This would be an
overall sales pace downtown of 6 units per month for the first 2 years; representing 7.2% of the
overall market, and most, if not all, of the raid -rise condo market in Mount Prospect.

Pricing reflects. location, .but primarily is influenced by units size and amenities. In deciding on
the level of amenities to incorporate into a project, a balance needs to be developed between
quality/price and affordability, which will affect the pace of sales. Assuming that a pace of 3
units per month is the minimum desired, and considering the experience at other projects in the
market over the past several years, we estimate that the appropriate unit pricing for new mid -rise
condominiums in downtown Mount Prospect is likely to be between $165,000 and $190,000 per
unit.

Trgnds ip the Near Nodh and Norlhweg ,�► he.:
In analyzing comparable townhome projects we have looked at the same 13 -community north
and northwest suburban market area, and have again looked at monitoring data provided by
Tracy Cross & Associates. However, in the case of townhomes, we believe there is likely to be
more local market variation. We have, therefore, focused most of our attention on projects
relatively close to Mount Prospect, in immediately adjacent communities.
Within the larger market, a total of 30 projects have been marketing since 1992. There were a
total of 2,029 units in these projects, for an average project size of 68 units.
These units ranged in price from $108,900 at Willow Glen in Palatine, to $278,950 at Park Ridge
Pointe Villas in Park Ridge. Average unit price for the market area was $185,270. A total of 87
units were marketed in Mount Prospect, including Orchardfield, Millers Station and the Courts of
Hill Street. Average price in these projects ranged between $141,308 and $203,050.
Units initiated per year varied substantially from year to year, but averaged 338 units each year.
In our opinion, this market can continue to support sales of approximately 325 additional
townhome units annually.

Townhome projects tend to vary more widely in quality and amenities than do the mid -rise
projects. At one end of the market, developers sometimes offer no-frills townhomes as entry
housing for younger people making their first home purchase. At the other extreme are those
townhomes that appeal to a luxury market, with much higher qualities of materials, finish, and
amenities. In our opinion, a townhome project in downtown Mount Prospect is more likely to be
targeted at the higher end of the range, although perhaps not at the top. In this portion of the
market, the same general, demographic factors supporting the mid -rise market will also support
the townhome market. including the continued -household growth' and aging; downsizing
residential population.
, I mnhorne D v lcrpment in Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect has averaged 12.8 new townhome units per year between 1992 and 1996. None
of these projects are directly comparable to a townhome project in downtown Mount Prospect.
The most directly comparable project is the Village Commons, at the eastern end of downtown.
That project sold out at a moderate to slow pace in 1988 to 1990, at original prices of about

$195,000 per unit. We have examined eight resales of those units between 1995 and 1997, at
prices which ranged between $180,000 and $220,000. We consider that the most likely price
range on a smaller, lower amenity townhome project today would be between $175,000 and
$190,000.
Pace of Sales in the , able M • yet
The average townhome project in the market area has sold out at a pace of 2.5 units per month,
with an average marketing period of 36 months. The only other downtown Mount Prospect
townhome project is the Village Commons development by Hemphill, which sold out 48 units
between 1988 and 1990. The unit prices were approximately $195,000. The pace of sales was
reported to be only 1.7 units per month.
We estimate that a modestly -sized, 20 -unit townhome project in central Mount Prospect might
achieve 1.5 sales per month, selling out in a little more than one year. It would represent a
modest portion of the total likely townhome market in Mount Prospect.
THE RENTAL APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT MARKET
Trends in the Market
We have examined the market: for rental properties in various submarkets in northwest Cook
County. The three most relevant submarkets are:
Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village
-- Des Plaines
-- Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights, Wheeling
Within these three areas Grubb & Ellis reports that there is a total of 17,912 rental units in
properties with more than 100 units.
Overall occupancy rates, as of July, 1997, for these markets were as follows:
-- Mount Prospect... 97.6%
-- Des Plaines... 98.3%
-- Arlington Heights... 98.7%
This compares to an occupancy rate for all of Northwest Cook County of 97.3%. Generally,
throughout the metropolitan area, and in most other markets around the country, rental

f I A d a A 1k*
occupancy rates have been or... the rise since at least 1994. It is noteworthy, however, that, in the
local submarkets, occupancy is actually a little better in the older, less expensive units, than in
the newer, more expensive ones.
Average monthly rents have also been generally increasing in the Chicago market. As of July,
1997, average reported rents for Class A apartments (units less than eight years old and with full
amenities) in the three submarkets were as follows:
-- Mount Prospect... $912, or $0.91/square foot
-- Des Plaines... NA
-- Arlington Heights... $953, or $1.13/square foot
Rents in both the Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights markets were generally increasing
throughout the first half of 1997. Indeed, over the longer term, the Northwest Cook County
apartment market has seen average rents rise from $0.83 per square foot in January, 1994, to
$0.94 per square foot in July, 1997, a 13.25% increase over a three and one half year period.
co, nt etitive Market for Rental t
With both rents and occupancy increasing, interest in new rental apartment construction is
strengthening, including in neighboring downtowns, such as Arlington Heights and Des Plaines,
both of which currently have rental projects at the proposal stage.
%,� al art er�t 1?er�el a ent in 1) w ra e
Similar developmentt of rental units in downtown Mount Prospect is supportable, if they were
part of a large project (probably in excess of 100 units) which could include the common
amenities expected in the Class A rental apartment category.
There has been some discussion by the ad hoc Downtown Redevelopment Committee about the
development of a smaller number of rental units in conjunction with, and perhaps above, ground
floor retail space. In our opinion, such small scale development would make it difficult to. offer
the standard amenities expected in the new apartment market. This could lower achievable
rents, by as much as $0.10 to $0.15 per square foot, jeopardizing the feasibility of new
construction.
However, it is possible that this lack of standard amenities can be compensated for by a design
Uowntown Mount Prospect Market Analysis 2;

that is uniquely attractive in this market. One possibility might be a design concept that
incorporates physical configurations and building services that specifically accommodate
individuals interested in a combination workiliving environment.

The speculative or for -lease office market in Mount Prospect comprises approximately 26
properties with a total of more than 1.3 million square feet of space. Much of this is modern
space in locations such as Kensington Center; but there are also numerous mid-sized and smaller
buildings in scattered locations on Northwest Highway, Central, and Main Street.
Recent performance in this office market is mixed, with some buildings virtually full, while
others suffer substantial vacancies. Although new speculative office construction has returned in
some suburban locations, there is probably not adequate support at present for such development
in downtown Mount Prospect. Over the long term, however, office development projects might
be supportable, if, in fact, Mount Prospect experiences the sizable increase in jobs forecasted by
the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission. With full development in existing business
parks, demand for smaller office buildings along the major arterials may firm up.
Office l ernan l in Downtown Mqgnt Prospect
Small professional service firms should continue to find downtown to be an attractive location.
In this setting, however, most will need first floor visibility, easy access, and close, surface
parking. In these respects, their market needs are similar to those of various small local retailers
and personal service providers.
The most appropriate locations for office uses are in the retained commercial spaces along Busse
Avenue west of Main Street; and in flexible retail/office spaces on the first floor of
residential/retail buildings fronting Main Street or Northwest Highway.

15, Effective January 26, 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) established
requirements intended to make most privately operated, non-residential buildings
accessible to and usable by disabled persons. We have not undertaken a specific
compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not or to what
extent it conforms to the provisions of the ADA. Such a survey and detailed analysis
of ADA requirements could reveal that the property does not comply with the act in
one or more respects. We have assumed that the property either is in compliance or
that measures can be taken to remove architectural barriers or otherwise achieve
compliance at minimal cost.
16. The professional fees paid for preparing the appraisal report were not based in whole
or in part on the amount of the appraised value of the property, but rather upon a fixed
price plus expenses or hourly reimbursement basis.
17. The authors have made inquiries to determine if there are any restrictions upon the use,
sale or disposition of the property, and all such restrictions found are described in the
appraisal.

DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Phone: (847) 818-5328
Fax: (847) 818-5329
TDD: (847) 392-6064
The Village of Mount Prospect is requesting proposals from qualified development companies to
develop Phase I of the Village's downtown redevelopment program. The Phase I area, which is just
under five acres in size, is bounded on the east by Illinois Route 83 (Main Street), the south by
Illinois Route 14 (Northwest Highway), the west by Wille Street, and the north by Central Road
Mount Prospect has been involved in an ongoing program to upgrade the quality and image of
downtown for several years. Storefront facade improvements and sidewalk renovations around the
downtown attest to the success of these efforts. Just this year, the Village spent approximately
$525,000 to begin implementation of a downtown streetspcape program (a copy of the program is
attached to this RFP).
The Phase I area is part of an overall Strategic Plan for redevelopment of the downtown, which the
Village recently completed (that plan is attached to this RFP). The plan calls for the Phase I area to
be developed with a mix of residential and commercial uses. The area also includes sever existing
commercial buildings that are to be preserved and incorporated into the redevelopment project.
Details of the desired development program are described below.
The strategic planning effort included preparation of an independent market assessment of Mount
Prospect's, downtown. It analyzed trends for the market and submarket areas, and considered
potential for new residential, commercial, and office development (the market study is attached to
this P). The study shows that sufficient depth exists in all three markets to support downtown
redevelopment.
Village of Mount Prospect Downtown Redevelopment RFP
Page 2 DRAFT
The Phase I area, and the rest of the strategic planning area, are part of a Tax Increment Finance
(TIF) district established in 1985. The Village has used TIF funds to support redevelopment projects
in the past, and intends to apply those resources to the present redevelopment plan.
The Village owns a portion of the Phase I area. It is the intention of the Village to facilitate the
acquisition of the balance of the property to encourage new private redevelopment. Negotiations for
property acquisition have been initiated with property owners in the Phase I area.
After competitive review, a developer will be selected to work with the Village to undertake the
redevelopment project. The framework for competitive evaluation of developers has been designed
to minimize speculative expenditures of time and money by prospective development teams. It is
the intent of the Village to select the developer (or development team) that best evidences the ability
to help the Village bring about the redevelopment program outlined in its downtown strategic plan.
The Village sees the effort to be a public/private partnership, and considers activities such as
conducting land acquisition, demolishing structures, and installing infrastructure as possible
contributions to the partnership.
DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OBJECTIVES
Redevelopment of the Phase I area should strive to fulfill the vision described in the Downtown
Strategic Plan. The development and design objectives contained in that plan are summarized below:
Development Program
A graphic depiction of the land use scheme described in the strategic plan is shown on page 29 of
the
For the Phase I area, that land use plan includes:
• Four condominium buildings with 160 new residential units. The buildings would be six to eight stories
high (between 72' to 93'). The required 280 parking spaces would be enclosed and/or first level parking
areas.
0 A common parking court of approximately 100 cars would be located in the center of the buildings to
accommodate visitors and commercial parking.
0 12,500 square feet of existing retail space along the north side of Busse Avenue.
0 13,500 square feet of commercial space in new two-story buildings along the north side of Busse
Avenue.
0 Between 15,500 and 60,000 square feet of new flexible commercial/office space on the ground floor of
the residential buildings. It is anticipated that this space would be clustered near gaps in the four
buildings in order to keep it close to visible and accessible parking.
• 7,500 square feet of commercial space on the triangular parcel between Northwest Highway and Busse
Avenue, with sufficient parking.
Village of Mount Prospect Downtown Redevelopment RFP
Page 3 DRAFT
• Public right-of-way dedications will be required along Central Road and Main Street in order to provide
the required 50' from the centerline right-of-ways for both streets.
The Village understands that the final development program for the Phase I area will differ from the
attached sketch plan and development details listed above. However, it is the desire of the Village
that the Phase I development program reflect the intent of the land use and design objectives
described here and in the Downtown Strategic Plan.
Land Use
The redevelopment area is intended to include a mix of residential and commercial land uses. It is
the preference of the Village that the residential uses be condominium units. The amount, type, and
location of commercial space in the redevelopment is understandably more complex. Clearly, the
commercial spaces must be flexible enough to accommodate a range of retail, office, and/or service
uses. The Village is looking for the developer to incorporate as much commercial space into the
development program as possible. This is intended to support the objectives of enhancing the
activity level and tax base of the downtown.
Development Objectives
1. Generate significant pedestrian activity downtown during evenings and weekends. Making
entertainment uses part of the development, such as restaurants or a theater, would support this
objective.
2. An innovative development that encourages a pedestrian scale mixed use project that explores
all market potentials, is harmonious with the surrounding land uses and is competitive in the
Northwest Cook County market area.
3. Create a development compatible with nearby residential areas that can stimulate other private
sector investment in the downtown, including new construction, expansion and rehabilitation.
4. Provide a development that can yield the highest possible real estate and sales tax to the Village
consistent with other downtown development objectives.
5. Protect and enhance the present retail and service businesses in the downtown.
6. The redevelopment project shall serve to improve the image of the downtown, recognizing its
potential as the town center.

Development Character
Downtown Redevelopment RFP
DRAFT
The predominant character of the Phase I redevelopment (and the entire downtown) is to be a
pedestrian friendly orientation. Clearly, having three regional arterial roads (Northwest
Highway, Route 83, and Central Road) abutting the site makes bringing about this objective a
challenge. However, ability to create a pedestrian orientation for the Phase I area is critical for
the downtown.
2. The Phase I area includes a mix of land uses, and a mix of new and existing uses. It is the
Village's intention that redevelopment create a strong interaction between land uses, as well as
new and existing development in the Phase I area. This should be designed in a manner which
has minimal impact on residential properties north of Central Road.
3. Redevelopment should reflect the character and quality of key downtown buildings (public
safety Building, Clock Tower Condominiums, the train station). This high quality character
continues to be brought to downtown with the redevelopment of two bank projects just north and
south of the Phase I area.
4. It is the intent of the Downtown Strategic Plan that downtown Mount Prospect develop a greater
"sense of place". To do this, the Phase I redevelopment should consider how residents and
businesses will interact with the rest of the downtown's activities and the plan's future. Physical
connections across Route 83 will require creative design on the part of the Village, Developer,
and Illinois Department of Transportation. However, this objective also should be met from an
architectural design perspective.
Design Guidelines
The Village's intent for the design character and quality are indicated by the descriptions and photos
in the Downtown Strategic Plan. Overall, they seek to continue and enhance the high quality
character development that has been occurring in the downtown. In addition, the following design
guidelines should be addressed in the redevelopment.
1. Buildings should be placed at the property line in order to enhance the pedestrian atmosphere
of the downtown. Taller buildings should be located in such fashion as to lessen the impact to
surrounding residential uses.
2. There is no "architectural theme" for the downtown. In fact, it is the Village's hope that a
variety of buildings and architectural styles continue to be a part of the downtown. Those
various styles would be brought together by a unified image. Unifying elements will include
brick construction, possibly arcaded bases, sloping roofs, and a pedestrian orientation (walkways,
courts, or other gathering points).

4. An integrated site plan should create pedestrian connections throughout the Phase 1 area with
no physical barriers between land uses.

7. Public art that enhances the appearance of the area and supports its pedestrian character is
encouraged in the Phase I area.
Parking
1. Large parking fields located out in front of buildings, indicative of strip center development, is
not desirable for the Phase I area, or future downtown redevelopment.
2. It is understood that parking must be highly visible and readily accessible. However, it should
be on -street, in the rear, or at the side of buildings. This parking design element is considered
critical to maintaining the pedestrian character of the downtown.
3. Sufficient off-street parking should be provided to meet the demand of the proposed land uses.
The use of shared parking utilizing off-peak operating hours should be encouraged.
4. Parking should be designed with adequate provisions for short-term customer parking and long-
term employee parking.
5. Underground and/or covered parking for residential units is expected to be part of the
redevelopment project. This parking is not expected to be used for retail shoppers.

SITE INFORMATION
Downtown Redevelopment RFP
DRAFT
1. The Phase I area is a total of 4.75 acres, which includes the preservation area. Redevelopment
in that area is desired for the northern 3.25 acres of the site and the 0.75 acre triangular shaped
parcel along Northwest Highway (see map on page 29 of the Downtown TIF District Strategic
Plan). The Village of Mount Prospect currently has ownership of the parcels indicated on Figure
6 Status Map, (see page 13 of
2. Surrounding land uses to the north include a commercial development (Central Plaza and the
new Mount Prospect National Bank) and well established single family residential
neighborhoods. To the east (across Route 83) is a mix of commercial and public uses (Library,
Senior Citizen Center, and Village Hall). To the south across Northwest Highway is commuter
parking and the Prospect Avenue commercial area. To the west is the Clocktower Condominium
development and a small retail center at the corner of Wille and Northwest Highway. Figure 2,
on page 6 of the shows the existing land uses.
3. Traffic counts on adjacent roads are high, and reflect their regional arterial nature: Route 83 -
26,000 vehicles per day (vpd), Northwest Highway - 20,000 vpt, and Central Road - 16,000 vpt,
(see page 11 of the DgAnloym TIF District Strategic Plan).
4. The Metra Rail Station is located just southeast of the Phase I area, providing easy access to
downtown Chicago. With approximately 1,900 boardings, the station is the second busiest on
the Union Pacific Northwest Line.
5. The site is currently zoned B -5C Central Commercial District (see page 9 of the
District, -SJ=gjc ). The Village will work with the selected developer to process the
necessary Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) application.
6. Utilities are available at the site boundaries. The Village receives water from a Lake Michigan
allocation and supply is adequate. Sewers in the area are combined sanitary/storm and also are
expected to be adequate for the project.
SELECTION PROCESS
The Village. Board has adopted the TIF Program, and has publicly stated its commitment to the
project by adopting the Downtown Strategic Plan as an amendment to its comprehensive plan (Note:
this is pending). They are supportive of immediate implementation as the project will provide the
Village with optimal results. The board is supported by qualified staff and consultants who have
prior experience in similar development efforts. They will assist the developer through the process,
but it will be the developer's responsibility to make a presentation to the Village Board.
Village of Mount Prospect Downtown Redevelopment RFP
Page 7 DRAFT
The steps in the process can be summarized as follows.
1. Developer submittals are due to the Mount Prospect's Department of Community Development
no later than 4:00 p.m. on March 18, 1998.
2. All submittals will be evaluated by the Ad Hoc Downtown Strategic Plan Committee.
3. The Committee will rank the finalists based on approved downtown goals and objectives and the
prospective real estate purchase offer, and will recommend that the Village Board designate one
"Developer of Record". It is expected that this designation will be made at the Village Board
meeting on April 21, 1998. Once so designated, the development team shall have the exclusive
right to work with the Village on tailoring the implementation of a mutually satisfactory
development project.
4. The development team must be prepared to promptly enter into negotiations with the Village to
specifically identify the obligations of both parties in the development project. The obligations
so specified will be incorporated in a redevelopment agreement. This agreement will include
a fair and reasonable price for the sale of the land.
5. The Village Board shall then approve and put into motion the redevelopment agreement.
THE PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
The Village of Mount Prospect recognizes the importance of a public/private partnership in order
to make this redevelopment a reality. To that end, the Village is willing to have its participation
include, but not be limited to:
1. Municipal Land Assembly,
2. Sale of municipally acquired land,
3. Lease of municipally owned land,
4. Flexible land payment schedule or take-down schedule,
5. Required public improvements by Village.
The chosen Development Team will be expected to work with the Village of Mount Prospect on a
cooperative basis to determine the type and extent of public participation required to ensure
successful redevelopment that is consistent with the Village's objectives.

Any financial information provided will be treated as confidential information by the Village.
BASIS FOR EVALUATION
All submissions for the Mount Prospect Phase I redevelopment will be evaluated in accordance with
all of the following criteria listed in no specific order:
a Developer Expertise
The Village seeks to work with a developer who brings the experience and creativity required for
a project of this type. In particular, the Village is looking for the selected developer to help address
issues that are particular to the Downtown Mount Prospect redevelopment. They are:
• Keeping existing retailers in the downtown. This may include options for facilitating an
ownership position for retailers in new buildings - in effect a retail condominium.
• Integrating the existing commercial buildings on the north side of Busse Avenue, which are
at the center of the project site, into the redevelopment project.
• Creating a successful development that does not require strip center type parking designs. In
order to support a pedestrian scale, the Village seeks to have buildings at the property line,
rather than behind a field of parking. Providing parking at the rear or side of buildings is
considered important in creating a pedestrian character for the downtown.
