DATE: MARCH 14,1996 t- i43
SUBJECT: ZBA-3-CU-96 J°
1800 W. CENTRAL ROAD 49 `j --
The Zoning Board of Appeals transmits for your consideration their recommendation on a request
for a Conditional Use for a 41 Acre Industrial Planned Unit Development (PUD); Variation to
increase the maximum permitted building height from thirty (30) feet to eighty-five (85) feet; Site
Plan Approval and Signage Approval for the US Robotics Planned Unit Development to be located
at 1800 West Central Road.
The request was reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals at a meeting on February 22, 1996. At
that meeting, Mr. Jerry Callahan, Attorney representing US Robotics, presented the proposed
development plan for the renovation of the existing property and construction of a five story office
building adjacent to Central Road. When completed, the facility will house approximately 2,000
new research, engineering, sales, marketing and management jobs.
Daniel Ungerleider, Planning Coordinator, summarized the staff report. He stated that the petitioner
is also proposing several traffic related improvements as part of the project. These improvements
include widening Central Road to accommodate a five lane cross-section from Arthur Avenue to
Busse Road, providing traffic lights at the main entrance to US,Robotics from Central Road and
providing a westbound right -turn lane from Central Road to Arthur Avenue. US Robotics is
proposing to provide several public transit services to its employees including a PACE Bus Stop and
a detailed ride -share program. The petitioner also proposes providing a new sidewalk along Arthur
Avenue as well as parkway trees along Central Road and Arthur Avenue. In addition, US Robotics
will be providing perimeter and foundation landscaping and will completely rehab the parking lot
to include curb and gutter, sidewalk and new perimeter fencing.
The Zoning Board of Appeals discussed the request. They noted that, although the proposed facility
will have an impact on Central Road's traffic conditions, they believed that the proposed roadway
improvements and provisions for public transportation and ride -share will minimize this impact.
By a vote of 7-0, the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of the requested conditional
use for an Industrial Planned Unit Development with noted variations for US Robotics at 1800 West
Central Road.

Robotics. He stated that the Village and US Robotics are working with the Illinois
f
ZBA-3-CU-96
Page 3
Department of Transportation to design and construct improvements to Central Road
including the widening of Central Road by eight (8) feet to provide a center left turn lane.
The traffic on Arthur and Central as well as Central and Busse should increase from the
additional office space by approximately 500 vehicles. The proposed Central Road
improvements should minimize the impact of the new resulting traffic.
Mr. Daniel Ungerleider, Planning Coordinator for the Village of Mount Prospect,
summarized staffs report for the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Ungerleider stated that
the petitioners proposed improvements will include widening Central Road to
accommodate a five lane cross-section from Arthur Avenue west to Busse Road-,
providing traffic lights at the main entrance to US Robotics from Central Road and
providing a westbound right -turn land from Central Road to Arthur Avenue. The
petitioner will also be providing a new sidewalk along Arthur Avenue as well as parkway
trees along Central Road and Arthur Avenue. US Robotics will also provide perimeter and
foundation landscaping and will completely rehab the parking lot to include curbing,
sidewalk and perimeter fencing. In addition, US Robotics is proposing to provide several
public transit services to its employees. As illustrated on the development plans, US
Robotics will be providing an on-site PACE Bus stop for its employees and twenty (20)
reserved van pool parking spaces. These reserved spaces will be used by their PACE
Ride -share van pool program. US Robotics is currently working with PACE to provide
these services. US Robotics plans include 600 parking spaces in excess of the Village
requirements.
Mr. Cassidy asked staff about Arthur Avenue being dedicated to the Village of Arlington
Heights up to the curb. In response, Mr. Ungerleider stated that Arthur Avenue is under
Arlington Heights jurisdiction and the Village is requesting that they dedicate that portion
of Arthur Avenue to accommodate the new public sidewalk. He finther noted that there
are no current plans for the improvement of Arthur Avenue roadway. Mr. Cassidy also
questioned the curb cuts along Arthur Avenue. Mr. Ungerloider stated that there will be
no changes with regards to the curb cuts along Arthur Avenue.
Mr. Verhasselt asked staff if there will be access to the parking area from Arthur. In
response, Mr. Ungerleider stated that yes there will be a formal drive to the North
although Central Road will have the most traffic access.
Mr. Lannon asked staff about the storm water detention. In response, Mr. Ungerleider
stated that there will be many improvements to accommodate storm water detention
including a complete overhaul of the parking lot which will have areas specifically setup to
accommodate storm water, curbing, etc.

Mr. Cassidy asked staff about future redevelopment plans for Busse Road. Mr.
Ungerleider stated that the Central Road Corridor Study, currently under Village Board
review, specifies the five lane cross-section mentioned earlier.
Mr. Brettrager asked if a significant portion of the traffic is westbound on Central. Mr.
Ungerleider stated that until US Robotics is in full operation, it will be almost impossible
to determine where their employees will be coming from.
Chairman Basnik asked Mr. Friedman about the number of employees working at this
facility. In response, Mr. Friedman stated that there will be approximately 1,000
employees initially. US Robotics is projecting approximately 2,000 employees within the
next two (2) years. He stated that should the operation continue to grow, their plans do
not include "moving out" of this site to another, but to just obtain another building to
accommodate their growth.
Mr. Henry Engel, 825 S. McKinley Road, Arlington Heights, IOL., introduced himself to
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Engel raised concerns over the additional traffic down
the side streets in this area. In response, Mr. Ungerleider stated that people have and will
continue to use the easiest, fastest route to their destination which includes the use of side
streets. The proposed Central Road improvements should help alleviate the traffic and
keep it going smoothly and safely so that the side streets will not be as desirable.
Mr. Cassidy asked where the eighty-five (85) foot portion of the building will be- Mr.
Ungerleider referenced the site plan noting the majority of the office section of the
building is seventy (70) feet and only a small portion will be eighty-five (85) feet which is
a lantern or a skylight and behind that is a parapit which is allowed to exceed the height
limitations. The mechanical equipment on the roof will be screened.
Mr. Floros asked what is directly across the street on Central Road. Mr. Friedman stated
that there are three (3) story thirty (30) foot in height apartment buildings.
Ms. Luxem asked staff if the petitioners do not need to go before the sign review board
because it is a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Mr. Ungerleider stated that because it
is part of the plan and that aren't any variations for their proposed signage the petitioners
are not required to go before the sign review board. He noted that there will be one (1)
monument sign in front of the office structure and directional signage on site.
Chairman Basnik asked about the parking space dimensions. Mr. Ungerleider stated that
the parking spaces will be 18' long by 8 1/2' wide for employee parking. The parking
space requirements for guest parking will be 18'x 9'. The reduction for employee parking
ZBA-6-CU-96
Page 6
is allowable per approval of the Director of Community Development for 'Village Code
Section 14.2216. Mr. Ungerleider stated that handicapped parking stalls will be provided
at 18'x 16' as required by code.
Mr. Floros then moved that the Zoning Board of Appeals approve petitioners request for

ANALYSIS
Page 2
As you are aware, US Robotics has been busy renovating the former AM Multigraphics building at
Central Road and Arthur Avenue to accommodate their new factory operations. U.S. Robotics,
currently based in Skokie, plans to increase their modem manufacturing production in Mount
Prospect. This move will result in 2,000 to 2,500 new jobs in the Village. In addition to the
renovation work already underway, US Robotics is proposing to demolish the existing front office
portion of the building and construct a 340,000 square foot, five -story office.building. US Robotics
also proposes to upgrade the entire property to meet the Village's parking, landscaping and design
requirements. Given the unique nature of the overall development improvements proposed, the
height of the proposed office building, and the existing secondary building on site, US Robotics is
seeking a conditional use for a 41 acre industrial Planned Unit Development.
According to a land use survey prepared by Evert Kincaid and Associates, manufacturing was
located on the subject property at Central Road and Arthur Avenue as early as in 1957. Originally
developed by Charles Bruning Company in the late 1950's, the subject property was purchased and
occupied by AM Multigraphics in 1990. Village records indicate the subject property has always
maintained the Village's industrial zoning designation.

Staff believes that the proposed office building addition and site improvements will be an asset to
the Village and will ensure that the site remains compatible with the surrounding land uses.
The subject property is designated for continued office/industrial use. In addition, the subject
property has the same designation according to the Central Road corridor study, a proposed element
of the village's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use and improvements are in compliance with
this designation.

Prior to the approval of final engineering plans, the petitioner shall make a cash contribution in the
amount of $10,125 in lieu of installing parkway trees along Central Road and Arthur Avenue. This
figure is based on fourteen (14) trees being planted at forty (40) foot intervals along Central Road,
thirty-one (3 1) trees being planted at forty (40) foot intervals along Arthur Avenue at a rate of $225
per tree (45 trees x $225 per tree).
The Village's Zoning Ordinance requires parking to be provided at a rate of four spaces per 1000
square feet of office; two spaces per three employees for production, and one space per 1,500 square
feet for warehouse space. In accordance with the Village's requirements, US Robotics is required
to provide 1,691 parking spaces. The parking requirements are calculated as follows:
WM
Office: 340,000 sq. ft.
Production: 708 employees
Site Plan
4 spaces/1,000 sq. ft.
2 spaces/3 employees
TOTAL REQUIRED
Excess parking
1,224 spaces
468 spaces
1,691 spaces
2,316 spaces
625 spaces
US Robotics is proposing to locate the new five -story office building addition at the southeast corner
of the existing manufacturing portion of the building (see attached development plans). During
discussion with US Robotics, staff directed their development team to ensure that the building
setback to Central Road be a minimum distance equal to the height of the proposed building (not
including the rooftop mechanical penthouse). As a result, the building is set back 74 feet when 30
feet is the minimum required by the zoning Ordinance. Although the building is 85 feet at the tallest
structure, the majority of the new building is 70'-6" in height. Staff is satisfied with the building
setback as proposed in relation to the building massing proposed.
The site plan illustrates three parking areas. First of which is the parking lot located at the southwest
corner of the property. This parking lot provides executive and guest parking for the office building.
It is served by right-in/right-out drive off of Central Road and a full access drive from Arthur
Avenue. In addition, there is a one-way aisle/fire lane leading from this parking lot around the front
of the building to the second parking lot area. The second parking lot is located along the east side
of the building from Central Road to the rear of the property. This parking lot's main function is to
provide parking for the office and production facility employees. In addition, the parking has been
designed to incorporate an on-site PACE Bus stop and twenty parking spaces designated for PACE -
Van pool parking.
Gil Basnik, Chairman Page 4
Mount Prospect Zoning Board of Appeals
The third parking lot proposed is a twenty-one space maintenance parking lot located along Arthur
Road at the southwest comer of the property. This parking lot is a derivative of the parking area that
exists today at this same location. As proposed, the parking lot is set back approximately eight (8)
feet away from the proposed property line along Arthur Avenue. Village Zoning Ordinance requires
that parking lots be set back a minimum of ten feet from all front yard property lines within
commercial and industrial properties. A condition of the Planned Unit Development shall be that
prior to the approval of the engineering plans, the petitioner shall revise all plans indicate that this
parking lot be located a minimum of ten (10) feet from the west property line along Arthur Avenue.
In addition, the petitioner shall provide one hundred (100) percent landscape screening along Arthur
Avenue and around the perimeter of this maintenance parking lot. The landscaping shall consist of
shrubbery and other plant materials at a minimum of three feet in height. Furthermore, the plans
shall depict that the proposed sidewalk along Arthur Avenue shall run one (1) foot outside of the
west property line in its entirety.
M
US Robotics is predicting that they will have between 2,000 and 2,500 employees working at this
facility. As required, US Robotics retained SDI Consultants to assess the possible impacts created
by a large employer at this location. As a result of this study, US Robotics in cooperation with
IDOT and the Village, is proposing to do several significant improvements to Central Road in the
immediate vicinity to accommodate the increased traffic which will be caused by the predicted 2,000
employees. These improvements will include widening Central Road to accommodate a five lane
cross-section from Arthur Avenue west to Busse Road; providing traffic lights at the main entrance
to US Robotics from Central Road and providing a westbound right -turn lane from Central Road to
Arthur Avenue. In addition, US Robotics is proposing to provide several public transit services to
its employees. As illustrated on the development plans, US Robotics will be providing an on-site
PACE Bus stop for its employees and twenty (20) reserved van pool parking spaces. These reserved
spaces will be used by their PACE ride -share van pool program.
Plat of Subdivision
The subject property currently consists of a number of individual lots and parcels. A condition of
the Planned Unit Development request shall be that prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for
the five -story office addition, the petitioner shall submit a plat of subdivision to the Village for
review, approval and recordation. Said plat shall:
1. Consolidate all lots and parcels into a one lot subdivision.
2. Reinstate all private -shared access driveway easements for the property.
3 Dedicate a ten foot public utility and drainage easement around the entire perimeter
of the property.
4. Dedicate additional public right-of-way to accommodate Central Road and Arthur
Avenue improvements (including existing and proposed public sidewalks). A
minimum of twelve (12) feet of additional right-of-way along Arthur Avenue shall
be required.

Staff fully supports the renovation and redevelopment of the AM Multigraphics property and is
confident that US Robotics' office building will serve as an architectural centerpiece for the
community for years to come. The petitioner has worked very closely with staff to ensure that the
proposed office structure is in compliance with all applicable Village Codes and Ordinances and
that the added employment base will minimally impact the surrounding neighborhoods, streets and
businesses. 'Therefore, staff recommends approval of a Conditional Use for a 41 acre industrial
Planned Unit Development, variation to increase the maximum building height from 30 feet to 85
feet, site plan approval and signage approval for US Robotics Corporation, located at the northeast
corner of Central Road and Arthur Avenue, 1800 West Central Road, Case No. ZBA-3-CU-96
subject to the following conditions:
Prior to the approval of final engineering plans, the petitioner shall make a cash
contribution in the amount of $10,125 for the installation of parkway trees along
Central Road and Arthur Avenue. This figure is based on fourteen trees being
planted in forty foot intervals along Central Road, thirty-one trees being planted at
forty foot intervals along Arthur Avenue at a rate of $225 per tree (45 trees X $225
per tree).
2. Prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for the five story office addition, the
petitioner shall submit a plat of subdivision to the Village for review, approval and
recordation. Said plat shall:
a. consolidate all lots and parcels into a one lot industrial subdivision;
b. reinstate all private shared access/driveway easements for the property;
C. dedicate a ten foot public utility and drainage easement around the entire
perimeter of the property;
d. Dedicate additional public right-of-way to accommodate Central Road and
Arthur Avenue improvements (including existing . and proposed public
sidewalks). A minimum of twelve feet of additional right-of-way along
Arthur Avenue will be required.
3. Prior to the approval of the engineering plans, the petitioner shall revise all
development plans illustrating the relocation of the maintenance parking lot to be set
back a minimum of ten feet from the new property line. The revised plans shall also
illustrate the proposed public sidewalk along the west property line to be one (1) foot
outside of the property line in its entirety.

FROM: WILLIAM J. COONEY, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT/k
DATE: MARCH 15,1996
SUBJECT: ZBA-7-V-96, JOHN FLICKINGER
121 SOUTH EDWARD STREET
The Zoning Board of Appeals transmits their recommendation to approve a variation request
submitted by John Flickinger. Mr. Flickinger is requesting a variation from Section 14.1005.B. I to
reduce the required rear yard setback for the principal structure from 25 feet to 12 1/2 feet.
The request was reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals at their regular meeting of March 14,
1996. During the meeting, Mr. Flickinger presented his case. He indicated he is seeking a variation
in order to construct an additional bedroom and an attachedthree
car garage on is pr6j56
Mike Sims, Planner, summarized the staff report and stated there are alternative designs that would
not require a variation and still allow the proposed addition to be built. These include building a
three car detached garage with a 5/8" drywall finish on the interior wall and ceiling. In such
instances, the Zoning Ordinance allows a minimum 3 foot separation between a garage and a
principal structure. In this case, the separation could be up to 7-1/2 feet. Another alternative would
be to construct the proposed addition (living space) as a second floor addition. Given that the
petitioner is creating his own hardship by designing the addition as proposed, staff recommended
denial of the petitioner's rpqij9jL
The Zoning Board of Appeals discussed the request including the need for the petitioner to identify
a hardship for approval of the variation. Ms. Luxern suggested omitting the additional living space
as a means of building without the need for a variation. By a vote of 4 pq
Appeals recommended approval of a variation to reduce the requir—ed rear yard at 121 South Edward

Chairman Basnik introduced Case ZBA-7-V-96 being a request for a variation to reduce
the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 12'-6" per Section 14.1005.B. 1.
Mr. John Flickinger, 121 S. Edward Street, introduced himself to the Zoning Board of
Appeals as the petitioner for the fisted property. Mr. Flickinger stated that he is
requesting this variation to allow for a room addition and a new garage.
Village Planner, Mike Sims, then summarized the staff report for the Zoning Board of
Appeals. Mr. Sims stated that the petitioner is seeking a variation to permit a 12'-6" rear
yard in order to construct additional living space and a three car garage. Mr. Flickinger
intends to use part of the three car garage to house his commercial vehicle. Mr. Sims
stated that the owners development plans involve removing the existing driveway,
converting the present garage into a dining room, constructing an additional bedroom
immediately east of the existing home and building an attached three car garage. The
petitioner's justification for seeking the variation is to save two mature trees and provide
enough room to construct a three car garage. Mr. Sims said the petitioner stated the
additional 1216" saved would allow a third stall to house a work van which is now left on
the driveway overnight which is currently in violation of the Village Code.
ZBA-7-Z-96
Page 2
Mr. Sims stated that based on the review of the petitioner's plan and site visit, staff
believes there are alternative designs that would not require a variation. For instance, a
detached three car garage could be built up to five feet from the rear and interior sideyards
along the property lines. If the detached garage is built with 5/8" drywall finish on the
interior wall and ceiling, which is allowed by code, the petitioner could have as little as a
three foot separation between the three (3) car garage and his principal structure. There
would actually be a T-6" separation that would be available. Another alternative would be
to add the proposed bedroom area (living area) as a second floor addition and move the
,garage further towards the home. Staff feels the petitioner is creating his own,hardship by
designing the addition as proposed. If the proposed living area was shortened by 12'-611 or
built as a second story, there would be no need for the variation. Mr. Sims then stated
that the petitioner must jus* the request for variation based on the seven (7) standards
listed in section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mi. Cassidy asked staff if there were pictures of the subject property. In response, a video
of the subject property was shown noting the mature trees that the petitioner is proposing
to save. If the project i1scompleted the way the petitioner proposes, he would lose one (1)
tree, Ifthe project is completed the way staff suggests, the petitioner would lose two (2)
mature trees. Currently, there are six (6) mature evergreen trees on the property.
Mr. Flickinger stated that he has been a resident for ten (10) years. He feels the
alternative proposal from staff would not be suitable to his wants and needs, He
purchased a ranch style house and would like to keep it a ranch style house. Mr.
Flickinger stated that the alternative proposal allows him to build a three (3) car detached
garage within five (5) feet of the rear property line and the addition could be moved within
three (3) feet of the garage. He stated that this does not make any sense to pursue sand no
one would benefit from it. He stated that his neighbors support the project and concur
with him about the enhancement of his property and the neighborhood.
Chairman Basnik noted three (3) letters from the immediate neighbors of the subject
property who are in support of Mr Flickingers proposal.
Mr. Verhasselt asked about the utility easement. Mr. Flickinger stated he checked with
the utility companies and the reduced setback would not adversely, affect the utilities.
Further noting the electric service for the neighborhood is overhead but he has some
electric service underground which would need to be moved. There would be enough
room in the rear property to allow for utility trucks.
Mr. Cassidy asked about the size of the garage and room addition. Mr. Flickinger stated
the he would like to construct'a three (3) car garage to house his three (3) vehicles. The
ZBA-7-Z-96
Page 3
specifications of the addition are not available at this time due to the outcome of the
variation request.
Chairman Basnik asked about the subject property value in relation to a detached or
attached garage. Staff did not have any information with regard to the property value.
Chainnan Basnik asked staff what the purpose was between the allowed five (5) foot
setback with a detached garage and a twenty-five (25) foot setback with an attached
garage. In response, Mr. Sims stated that the detached garage would provide additional
open space in the rear of the property and would provide a separation between the
neighbors.
Ms. Luxem confirmed the 46 % lot coverage and asked the petitioner about the footage
from the side of the house to the lot line. In response, Mr. Flickinger said the footage is
approximately T-6".
Mr. Cassidy asked about the removal of the driveway. In response, Mr. Flickinger stated
that all of the existing drive and deck would be removed and replaced.
Mr- Flickinger, in response to Mr. MOM' question, stated the proposed addition would
cost approximately $60,000.00.
Mr. Floros stated that if he were in the petitioners situation, the proposals for a 2 story
home with a detached garage would be unsuitable for his needs. Further noting when
residents are willing to invest such a considerable sum of money to enhance their property
and the neighborhood in exchange for this allowance he could only support, the petitioners
request.
Chairman Basnik then stated that in defense of staffs alenial of the request, the Village is
required to support the Zoning Ordinance and the petitioner needs to provide a hardship
for the variation. In response, Mr. Flickinger stated that he would like to house his
commercial vehicle which is currently in violation of being parked outside and he has
mature trees that he would like to save. Chairman Basnik stated that he is on a comer lot
and he can build up to 500/o of the lot and with the proposed addition, the petitioner would
still be under the allowed 50%.
Mr. Floros then moved that the Zoning Board of Appeals approve a request for variation
to Section 14.1005.B.1 to allow a reduction of the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 121-611
as shown in petitioners exhibit 1. The motion was seconded be Mr. Verhasselt.

The petitioner and owner of the property, John Flickinger, is seeking a variation to permit a 121-6"

to use part of the three car garage to house his commercial vehicle.
If the petitioner's site plan is approved, the existing concrete drive off Edward Street will be removed
and the two car garage converted into a dining room,
Gil Basnik, Chairman Page 2
Mount Prospect Zoning Board of Appeals
The site consists of a 13,120 square foot comer lot zoned R -A, Single Family Residence. This
zoning classification allows a maximum lot coverage of 50%, The petitioner's proposed
development would have a lot coverage of 6,052 square feet, or 46% of the lot. The calculated lot
coverage includes a 600 square foot garage.
The subject property has been developed with a single family home and an attached garage with
access off of Edward Street, A deck has been constructed at the rear of the home. The property is
densely landscaped along its rear and interior sideyard property lines,
Staff Comments
Based on review of the petitioner's plan and site visit, staff believes there are alternative designs that
would not require a variation. For instance, a detached three car garage could be built up to five feet
from the rear and interior sideyard property lines. A ten foot separation from the home is required
by Code. If the detached garage is built with 5/8" dr I finish on the interior w d g, the
Ywal ri all an ceilin
separation could be as little as three feet. Another alternative would be to add the proposed bedroom
area (living space) as a second floor addition.
The petitioner is creating his own hardship by designing the addition as proposed. If the proposed
living area was shortened by 12'-6" or built as a second story, there would be no need for a variation.
Likewise, a three car garage is permitted by Code if it can be properly located on the property. Staff
contends the proposed development will also negatively affect the open characteristic of the
backyards of the surrounding properties.
Pstitionees Jusitificatio
The owner's development plans involve removing the existing driveway, converting the present
garage into a dining room, constructing an additional bedroom immediately east of the existing home
and building an attached three car garage. The petitioner's justification for seeking the variation is
to save two mature trees and provide enough room to construct a three car garage. He states the
additional 12 1/2 foot saved would allow a third stall to house a work van which is now left on the
driveway overnight in violation of Village Code.
RECDAMENRAMN
The petitioner must justify the requested variation based on the seven standards listed in Section
14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance, It is staffs opinion that the petitioner has not met these
standards and therefore recommends denial of the request.

SUBJECT: ZBA-4-CU-96, SUNDANCE HOMES, 350 N. WOLF. RD. (FORMER
WINONA SCHOOL OF PHOTOGRAPHY) REZONING FROM B-1
OFFICE TO R-2 ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT -
CONDITIONAL USE FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
The Zoning Board of Appeals transmits for your consideration their recommendation on a request
for a rezoning from B-1, Office to R-2 Attached Single Family Residence District and a Conditional
Use for a 59 unit multiple family residential Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Belle'Flora
Courthomes'proposal would be located at 350 North Wolf Road, formerly the Winona School of
Photography. This property is located south of Feehanville Drive west of Wolf Road.
The request was reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals at their regular meeting of March 14,
1996. At the meeting several members of the Sundance Development team presented the overall
propo5AI to raze the existing Winona School of Photography building and redevelop the property for
a'59 unit -multiple family residential P1115- ed Unit Development. As proposed, the eight acre
property will be developed to conta,, 14 to ome buildings, an entry park, detention areas, and
a private street and utility network.
Daniel Ungerleider, Planning Coordinator, presented a summary of the staff report. He stated staff
has several concerns regarding the requested rezoning of the property to the R-2 classification and
a conditional use for a Planned Unit Development. Staff explained that given the property's
proximity to the Kensington Business Center and its direct access to Wolf Road, staff believes that
the property should remain zoned non-residential.
In addition, staff does not believe that the proposed development provides adequate private and
public open space for those amenities commonly contained therein, and therefore recommended
denial of the proposed rezoning from B- I to R-2 and the Conditional Use for the PUD.
The Zoning Board of Appeals discussed the petitioner's request. They noted that although the
proposed development may meet the Village's zoning requirements for a Planned Unit Development
they do not believe that this would be the appropriate location for a multiple family development of
this kind. They further stated that they did not feel that this would be the appropriate location for
any type of multiple family development.
By a vote of 4-2, the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended denial of the requested rezoning and
conditional use for a multi -family residential Planned Unit Development at 350 North Wolf Road.

building will face toward the street. There are minimal curb cuts onto the private streets
and the cars will be parked internally between the buildings. The parking ratio is 4.22
spaces per unit which exceeds the current zoning ordinance of 2 spaces per single family
dwelling unit. He said the proposed walk system will be, tied in with the public Wolf Road
sidewalk. He noted that the proposed project meets or exceed setback requirements under
the Village"s provisions for ;Planned 'Unit Developments (PUD). The area will be heavily
landscaped .with evergreen and shade trees as well as flowering shrubs. Mr. Mack further
noted that the structural coverage for the proposed project will be 1.32 acres which is
16% site coverage. The pavement and drive coverage will be 1.99 acres which is 25% site
coverage. And 4.77 acres will be impervious surface or open space. The total of site
coverage of the proposed project will be 59%. The building height will be 32'-6" to finish
grade. 54% of the units will be 2 bedroom and 46% will be 3 bedroom units. In
summary, Mr. Mack stated that the proposed townhome development for this site would
best serve the community and its people by providing; them quality single-family type
homes at an excellent location.
Mr. Bill Schwartz introduced himself to the Zoning Board of Appeals as the Architect for
the project. He is with The Balsamo/Olsen Group. He referenced the site plan for the
proposed project. He noted the roof features with gables. He stated that the exterior of
the buildings would consist of plaster and brick on most of the exterior. Mr. Schwartz
stated the units would range from 1,550 to 1,950 square feet in size. All units would have
a 2 car garage. He discussed in detail the floor plan of each unit that would be available.
Mr: �m ;;;r )introduced himself to the Zoning Board of Appeals as Senior Vice-
Presi ent o�aine-Wetzel Associates. He represents the sellers of the property: He stated
that Paine -Wetzel Associates is a Commercial/Industrial Real Estate firm which deals with
the selling and leasing of commercial and industrial properties. Mr. Barnett has been a
licensed agent since 1962 and has several affiliations. He is also very familiar with Mount
Prospect's real estate including this parcel of property. He noted that he helped bring US
Robotics to the Mount Prospect community. Since September, 1993, the Winona School
of Photography building has been vacant. Mr. Barnett presented a brochure of the
property to the Zoning Board of Appeals. He stated that his firm mailed in excess of
10,000 brochures, advertised and made numerous phone calls in attempt to lease or sell.
this piece of property for an office use. The building has two wings, along with a 130 seat
auditorium and cafeteria. He said that due to the economy, with the downsizing of
companies, computers, working from home, etc., there is very minimal need for a building
of this size to accommodate office users. There were inquiries made from churches and
schools with the only serious inquiry (with a need for a variation) being a nursing home
facility which had potential to purchase except that it was denied the certificate of need by
the State of Illinois leaving the building to sit vacant. There is residential neighboring
properties and the only way, at this time, after several attempts to bring business (office)

to this location and to maximize the usefulness of this property is to rezone from B -I
business to R-2 residential,
Mr. Steve Hovany, introduced himself to the Zoning Board of Appeals as President of
Strategy Planning Associates located in Schaumburg, Illinois. He said they are a
marketing research and economic development firm. Mr. Hovany provided the fiscal
impact study which is the relationship of how the money goes in and goes out for an
established taxing body. He also stated that they are the project demographer. This
proposed project would have approximately 139 residents; 19 of which being school age
individuals. Mr. Hovany stated that the overall study conducted indicates that this project
will have a positive .fiscal impact on, Mount, Prospect and no negative impact on the
property's tax base,
Mr. Daniel Ungerleider, Planning Coordinator for the Village of Mount Prospect, then
stated the petitioner is seeking approval of a rezoning from B•I Office to R-2 Attached
Single Family Residence District and a conditional use for a fifty-nine (59) unit multi-
family residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Belle'Flora Courthomes at 350
North Wolf Road, As proposed, =the petitioner will raze the existing vacant building,
formerly the Winona School for Photography, and redevelop the eight (8) acre property
with fourteen (14) townhome buildings, entry park, detention areas and a private street
and utility network, He stated that the property is surrounded by industrial properties to
the north and west (Kensington Center for Business) and single family residential to the
south and east (Kennedy Homes - Des Plaines). The property in question surrounds the
small office building and property located south of the property. Both properties are
zoned B-1 Office. Staff has several serious concerns regarding the requested rezoning of
the property to the R-2 classification. Staff does not believe that multiple family
residential is the highest and best use of this property, Given the property's proximity to
the Kensington Business Center and lits direct access to Wolf Road, staff believes that the
property should remain zoned non-residential. The subject property is designated for
institutional use on the land use map, an adopted element of the Village!s Comprehensive
Plan. This designation was assigned given the previous use of the property, Winona
School of Photography. The proposed land use is not fitting with this designation.
Mr. Ungerleider stated that the petitioner has attempted to design a residential
development which meets the Village's required criteria for PUD's. Staff has been pleased
with the level of cooperation by the petitioner. Although the overall design meets the
Village's requirements for setbacks, landscaping, guest parking and private street design,
staff does not believe that, the proposed development provides adequate private and public
open space or those amenities commonly contained therein. The "living courts" located
between the fronts of the buildings, will not serve as private or public space. Although the
proposed buildings have wood balconies, located over the garages and driveway, staff
does not feel that these areas will be utilized by the residents for anything
ZBA-4-CU-96
Page 5
more than a barbecue storage area. The entrance park is a decorative entry feature and
will not be utilized by the residents given its size and configuration to Wolf Road. The
remainder of open space is for the most part unusable, given that it is comprised of a
detention pond, the Feehanville ditch and an unaccessible area north of the ditch. These
open spaces do allow for the development's low density value, however, they do not
provide for the open space and recreation areas required by the Village's Zoning
Ordinance. Mr. 'Ungerleider stated if these areas were not included in the density
calculation, the proposed density would be 9.2 dwelling units per acre which is still below
the 10 units required by ZoningOrdinance.
Chairman Basnik asked staff about the condition of the building. Mr. Ungerleider stated
that the building was vacant and the; structural condition was unknown at this time.
Mr. Richard Rogers introduced himself to the Zoning Board of Appeals as the President
of ACM Associates. He owns the one acre parcel which is surrounded by this piece of
property as well as residential. He, stated that he spent approximately $150,000.00 on
improvements of his property to convert the single family home to an office in 1983. Mr.
Rogers is a 28 year resident of Mount Prospect. He stated that his business is "a General
Contracting Firm and feels the addition of townhomes on this property would be
detrimental to his business. He said that he has been in the Winona School building
several times and said he felt it was in excellent shape but it would have to be modified for
any other use than a school building. At one time he was asked to take care of the
building regarding vandalism, etc.
Mr. Floros asked why the building hasn't been sold seeing that it is in decent shape and a
good location. Mr. Rogers stated that perhaps it hasn't been sold due to the Feehanville
Creek being in the floodplain. Further noting that it would be difficult to expand the
building from what it is today.
Mr. Phil Bernath introduced himself to the .Zoning Board of Appeals as co -broker and
Vice -President of Paine -Wetzel Company. Mr. Bernath stated that it has been a long time
since Mr. Rogers has been in the building and the building is deteriorating steadily. The
roof has severe tile damage and there has been some vandalism, etc. He stated that the
ditch has never been an issue with regards to selling the property. He stated the ratio of
inquiries were 10 to 2, churches and schools to office users, respectively.
Chairman. Basnik read into the record a letter opposing the petitioners request for
rezoning. The letter was from Frain Camins & Swartchild, I Raymond Galivan, RPA,
General Manager Kensington, as Agent for OTR, Kensington. The letter stated that the
proposal' would be detrimental to the adjoining parcels and the, addition of a 59 unit PUD
could potentially lessen the future marketability of the commercial buildings.

townhome development stating that multi -family hoaxes do not appreciate in value like
single family residences.
Mr. Cassidy stated that he concurs with staffs recommendation of denial of this request.
He stated that this property would serve best as industrial use noting the adjacent property
of Kensington Business Center. He said that the townhomes would, be out of context of
Wolf Road.
Mr. Floros mentioned to staff that previously the Mount Prospect Park District wanted to
take over the Trade Services building (rezone from industrial to recreational) and at that
time; staff stated that they could go either way with that property. Mr. Floros asked staff
what the difference was between that project and their apposition to this proposal. In
response, Mr. Ungerleider stated that the proposed PUD is a different situation given the
circumstances. Staff i does not believe that this residential development is ,not a good
transitional use to place adjacent to office and industrial/office uses.
ZBA-7-CU-96

Mr. Floros asked staff about the need and demand for this type of development noting the
popularity of The Kimball Home.multi-fannly development. Also, if this development was
looked at as if it were in a strictly residential area, would staff have any objections
considering it has met all the setback requirements, etc, In response, Mr. Ungerleider
stated that if every open parcel was developed under residential the demand for housing
would exist. The petitioner would not be here if they couldnI sell the townhome . Staff
would still oppose this type of development.
Mr. Brettrager asked about the height limits ° for these buildings. Mr. Ungerleider stated
that the petitioner meets the height requirement of 28' measured in accordance with the
Zoning Ordinance. There was a discussion between staff, Mr. Brettrager and the petitioner
as to how many stories the multi -family buildings would have. Mr. Brettrager referenced
the drivewhich is at ground level plus a 2 story home would make the buildings 3 stories.
Mr. Ungerleider stated that the buildings are considered 2 story.
Ms. Luxem stated that this property has a clean cut-off between the Kensington Business
District and the residential areas. The primary funding for the school district comes from
residential taxes. She stated that the Randhurst Shopping Mall and the Kensington
Business Center provides tremendous support of our tax base and school district #26.
There is much to be proud of in Mount Prospect,
Chairman Basnik stated that he has a bias against the development of multi -family on this
particular site.
Mr. Burney stated that the petitioners request and the Village's ideas about the use of the
property are both inconsistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. He stated that this
development of property is physically isolated from the Kensington Business Park noting
the subject property has been used as 2 different educational facilities. Mr. Burney stated
the 1 acre parcel of property is not a trended development toward office use on Wolf
Road. He stated that the owner of this parcel has not shown any documentary evidence
he would close up his office should this development proceed. Mr. Burney stated that
there is residential all over this area and strongly urged the Zoning Board to consider this
proposal further noting that the petitioner actively tried to lease or sell the building as
office use and was quite unsuccessful. He stated that the PUD would not be a disruption
of orderly, development and there would be not be a negative impact of traffic or flooding
issues. He asked what public purpose is being served by not developing this parcel of
property.
Chairman Basnik stated that the Village of Mount Prospect has approximately 17,000
multi -family homes compared' to 9,000 single family homes. He stated that perhaps the
owner has the price of the property set too high for its intended use.
ZBA-8-CU-96

Mr. Art Titus asked the Zoning Board of Appeals to consider the implications of the tax
base with relation to this project.. He said perhaps the size of the parcel, or the
restrictions of the grade and creek played a part in the non leasing or selling of this

single-tanuly attached homes noting each have their own front door which is unlike most
multi -family dwellings. He said this quality project; is far superior to other multi -family
dwellings which provides maintenance free living to its residents.
Mr. Andrew Foster introduced himself to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Foster is the
Executive Director ; for the Professional Photographers of America, the 'owner of the
Winona School of Photography building. He stated that in 1984 the photography studio
was built along with a photography darkroom and auditorium. He stated that there are
14,000 photography members in this 71 year old organization. They have reduced the°
price of the building by $1.3 million. Mr. Foster stated that this proposal makes business
sense. The property is sitting vacant and is a hardship to maintain', He feels the multi-
family units would be the best use of the property.
Mr. Burney read into the record a letter to Mr. Lipe from Dr. ShirleyF. Smalley,
Superintendent of School District #26. The <letter was in support of the proposed multi-
family
ulti-f y units as presented,
Chairman Basnik read into the record a letter from Mr. Vincent Traviney, 1150 Wexler
Court, Des Plaines, Illinois, who opposes the project as presented.
Mr. ,Rogers stated that currently he pays $16,000 in property taxes for his 1 acre of
property. If the site was kept industrial use the taxes for that site would be double.
Rezoning to residential would negatively impact his parcel of land.
Mr. `Hovany and the Zoning Board of Appeals discussed the cost to taxpayers for the
education of the children,
Dr. Shirley Smalley introduced herself to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Dr. Smalley
stated that the school' district is in support of this project because 1. the ,quality and 2. the
school board is concerned that they would give a TIF if kept industrial use and the school
would not receive any revenue for the next 20 or so years. Currently it costs
approximately $5,000,a year to educate a student.
Ms. Donna Johnson, 1009 N Westgate, Mount Prospect, Illinois, introduced herself to
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Ms. Johnson stated that there is too high of a density
already and we do not need additional townhomes.

The petitioner is seeking approval of a rezoning from B-1 Office to R-2 Attached Single Family
Residence District and a conditional use for a fifty-nine (59) unit multi -family residential Planned
Unit Development (PUD) for Belle'Flora Courthomes at 350 North Wolf Road. As proposed, the
petitioner will raze the existing vacant building, formerly the Winona School for Photography, and
redevelop the eight (8) acre property with fourteen (14) townhome buildings, entry park, detention
areas and a private street and utility network.
The property is surrounded by industrial properties to the north and west (Kensington Center for
Business) and single family residential to the south and east (Kennedy Homes - Des Plaines). The
property in question surrounds the small office building and property located south of the property
(see attached map). Both properties are zoned B-1 Office.
Staff has several serious concerns regarding the requested rezoning of the property to the R-2
classification. Staff does not believe that multiple family residential is the highest and best use of
this property. Given the property's proximity to the Kensington Business Center and its direct access
to Wolf Road, staff believes that the property should remain zoned non-residential.
Furthermore, the proposed rezoning does not include the office building property to the south/east.
Essentially, this action would create an isolated commercial property completely and inappropriately
surrounded by residential.
Site
The petitioner has attempted to design a residential development which meets the Village's required
criteria for PUD's. Although the overall design meets the Village's requirements for setbacks,
landscaping, guest parking and private street design, staff does not believe that the proposed
development provides adequate private and public open space or those amenities commonly
contained therein. The "living courts" located between the fronts of the buildings, will not serve as
private or public space. Although the proposed buildings have wood balconies, located over the
garages and driveway, staff does not feel that these areas will be utilized by the residents for
anything more than a barbecue storage area.
The entrance park will service only as a decorative entry feature and will not be utilized by the
residents given its size and configuration. The remainder of open space is, for the most part
unusable, given that it is comprised of a detention pond, the Feehanville ditch and an unaccessible
area north of the ditch. These open spaces do allow for the development's low density value (7.3
dwelling units per acre), however, they do not provide for the open space and recreation areas
required by the Village's Zoning Ordinance. If these areas were not included in the density
calculation, the proposed density would be 9.2 dwelling units per acre.

The subject property is designated for institutional use on the land use map, an adopted element of

property, Winona School of Photography. The proposed land use is i14I fitting with this designation.
For these reasons, stag` believes that the requested rezoning and PUD should be denied as proposed.
Staff continues to believe that non-residential development is the appropriate use for this property.
Staff believes the proposed rezoning request does not comply with the Village's Comprehensive
Plan, that the proposed rezoning would isolate the remaining office building to the south and render
itself incompatible with its surrounding residential neighbors. Staff therefore recommends denial
of the proposed rezoning from B-1 to R-2 conditional use for a fifty-nine (59) unit multi -family
residential PUD, and site plan approval for Belle'Flom Courthomes at 350 North Wolf Road, Case
No. ZBA-4-CU-96.

VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTY
Mount Prospect, Illinois , 4
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: WILLIAM J. COONEY, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: MARCH 27, 1996
SUBJECT: USE OF THE VILLAGE'S 1996 IRB ALLOCATION
One of the economic development incentives that is available to home -rule municipalities is the
ability to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds for certain qualified projects. Industrial Revenue Bonds
(IRB's) are bonds that are issued by the municipality for the owner of a project and, as a result, the
owner receives tax-exempt financing for the project. A home -rule municipality is authorized to issue
IRB's up to a "volume cap" of $50 per capita each year. For the Village of Mount Prospect this
amounts to $2,665,750 per year.
During the early 1980's, Mount Prospect issued IRB's for six different projects: K -Mart, Xytel,
Graco, Toko-America, Cummins Allison and Lee's Marketing. However, the Tax Reform Act of
1986 drastically changed the requirements regarding the type of projects that are eligible for the IRB
financing, and since 1985 the Village has not issued any IRB's. The only projects that are now
eligible for this type of financing are certain housing -assistance programs, some types of housing
projects, projects for certain not-for-profit organizations, and certain projects that are predominantly
manufacturing or manufacturing related.
One of the conditions of the volume cap authorization is that if the amount allocated to the home -
rule unit is not used or "ceded (transferred) to another public entity by May 1 each year, it reverts
to the Governor's office. These amounts are then redistributed by the Governor.
In 1995, the Village transferred $665,750 of its allocation to the Illinois Housing Development
Authority to continue the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program for first-time home buyers. The
money is reserved for eligible Mount Prospect properties for a one-year period and then it becomes
available on a state-wide basis. In addition, the Village ceded $2,000,000 to the Village of Niles for
a project to finance equipment for the Fort Dearborn Lithograph Company. In return for this action,
it was agreed that if the opportunity came up in the future, Mount Prospect would get first priority
to use any of Niles' uncommitted allocation.
I currently am Vice -Chairman of the Northwest Municipal Conference's Economic Development
Commission. One of the initiatives created by the Conference's Economic Development
Commission was to give member communities first priority when ceding IRB funds. It was
Michael E. Janonis
March 27, 1996
Page 2
mutually agreed that Northwest Municipal Conference communities should benefit member
communities in our region rather than cede the allocation to the Governor's Office.
As part of the Village's Economic Development Program, Mayor Farley sent a letter to all
manufacturing operations in the Village to determine if they could take advantage of the IRB
Program. Three manufacturing operations contacted the Village to express an initial interest in the
program. Unfortunately, the IRB Program did not meet the needs of these businesses and therefore
the Village did not have the opportunity to use these funds during the 1996 fiscal year. However,
staff will continue to market next year's bond allocation to our business community to attempt to
benefit Mount Prospect businesses in 1997.
The Village has once again been approached by the Village of Niles requesting that we cede a
portion of our IRB allocation to a Niles business. Niles is requesting that we cede $1.85 million of
our allocation to Lewis Spring and Manufacturing Company which is located in their community.
As they had agreed last year, Niles will give Mount Prospect first priority for their unallocated 1997
funds.
In addition to the $1.85 million allocation to Niles, I would also recommend that we cede the
remaining portion to the Illinois Housing Development Authority to continue the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program. As stated above, this program assists first-time home buyers in Mount
Prospect.
Staff recommends that the Village Board cede the Village of Mount Prospect's 1996 Industrial
Revenue Bond Allocation in the following manner:
$1.85 million to the Village of Niles
$815,750 to the Illinois Housing Development Authority for the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their April 2nd meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions regarding this
matter.

Dear Mayor Farley:
The Village of Niles has received a request from Lewis Spring and Manufacturing
Company for Industrial Revenue Bond financing. They intend to purchase a building in
Niles for the expansion of their operations. Their request of $3,250,000 exceeds our
bonding authority of $1,400,000.
To make up the difrerence, we hereby request that Mourn Prospect consider ceding
$1,850,000 of its bonding authority to the Village ofMles. Your help in this matter will
allow this manuiactwrer to proceed with their expansion plans in a timely manner.
We appreciate your consideration of this request.
Very truly yours,

Subject Safety Commission's Recommendations
The Safety Commission transmits their recommendation to approve yield signs on Main
Street otSho-BuneeTrail.
Mr. Resolut of 511 South Main Street originally requested four-way stop signs at Main
Street and Qha-BoneeTrail. The request was reviewed bythe Safety Commission at
their regular meeting onMarch 11.1SQG. During the meeting, Mr. Reoo1utsaid that ho
made this request because 1) he observed several accidents during the last several
years and 2)cars were speeding otthe intersection.
The Village Traffic Engineer, Sean Won, summarized the staff report and stated that
the intersection did not meet the stop sign warrants based on the number of accidents,
the traffic volume, nor the speed study. However, observations ofthe intersection and
recognition of the accidents that have occurred resulted inthe determination that yield
signs onMain Street would be the best form oftraffic control.
The Safety Commission and Mr. Resolut agreed with the staff recommendation. By
vote of 6-0, the Safety Commission recommended the installation of yield signs on
Main Street at Sha-BoneoTrai|.

1. History of Illuminated No-Right-Turn & No-Left-Tum Signs
at IL 83/Northwest Highway & Emerson Street/Northwest Highway
iDOT said that they have no records about illuminated No-Tum signs at these
intersections. (Commissioner Andy; Mitchell informed the Safety Commission
that these intersections did have illuminated' No-Right-Tum/No-Leff-Turn signs In

3. Federal, State and Local Authorities and Railroad
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that 1) they already
completed public hearings, 2) they will complete the report In 6-7 months, and 3)
probably all other organizations are waiting fartheir recommendations. Union
Pacific Railroad said that the maximum speed for a passenger train is 70 mph
and the maximum speed for a freight train Is 60 mph.
He said that the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) has no special
,activities planned for the train crossing safety. NWMC collected accident data at
train crossings due to the federal whistle blowing mandate. Note that this
mandate was postponed for further comments.

revised per the Safety Commission's comments.

included per Trustee Wilks' comment. All Commissioners agreed that
this sign may not be effective to improve the safety of the intersection.
The available roadway length signs will not be recommended

station and the parking toll boxes, not on cars in the commuter parking lots
creating a litter problem. Commissioner Arlene Juracek requested an increased

MEMO
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: ROSS ROWE, CABLE PRODUCTION COORDINATOR
DATE: MARCH 28,1996
RE: S -VHS CABLECASTING PACKAGE BID RESULTS
During the 1996 budget process, Communications Division staff identified, in the capital
improvement plan, the need to replace the Village's current U -uratic cablecasting Video decks.
These video decks are used to cablecost the local government programming on Channel 6.
They were purchased as part of the access channel's original production equipment over ten
years ago, and are currently long post their intended usable lifespon, The Village has
experienced numerous failures and hove had to repair several of these decks in the last two
years, In addition, the U-matic tape format has been experiencing a slow phase-out by
manufacturers over the post five years as more cost-effective and higher quality formats have
replaced them. Over the post two years, Communications Division staff have gradually made
a tape format change from U-motic to the higher quality S -VHS format, and currently only use
U-matic tape for air copies due to the playback decks older format. Purchasing S -VHS decks will
complete the change -over and enhance the air quality of Channel 6.
To ensure compatibility with the current system, a detailed bid specification was developed with
specific technical requirements. Copies of the bid request were distributed to recognized
vendors and a legal notice was published in the March 15 edition of the Daily Herald.
The bid request specified the following items:
Four (4) Sony SVP -5600 S -VHS Players (decks)
Four (4) Tech Electronic CC -Sony -IIA interface box/cable
Four (4) Tech Electronic CC -PVC -111A interface cables
The S -VHS players will replace the current U-matic decks, while the Tech Electronic interface
boxes will allow those decks to be controlled by the current cablecasting timer.
