SUBJECT:
PZ-19-07 - VARIATION - SIDE YARD SETBACK
585 SLAWIN COURT
FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, DON T ADISH - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-19-07, a request to
allow a 3' landscape setback along the west lot line, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning &
Zoning Commission heard the request at the June 28, 2007 meeting.
The Petitioner is in the process of securing a tenant, Siemens, for the Subject Property. Siemens would like to
expand its operation and would like to move from the adjacent building to the Subject Property. For internal
business requirements, Siemens requires more parking than is currently provided on-site. Due to physical site
constraints, the only viable location for the additional parking is along the west lot line of the Subject Property.
The proposed parking stalls would encroach into the required 10' landscape setback and have a 3' setback. The
Petitioner owns the abutting property, 580 Slawin Court, and proposes to extensively landscape the 13' between
the two properties.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the request. They noted that the Kensington Business Center was
originally designed for warehousing and manufacturing businesses, and that an office use is a more intense use
that requires more parking spaces. There was discussion about the tenant's operation, and how there would be a
higher number of visitors to the facility than a typical office facility, which dictates them needing additional
parking. Also, the Subject Property would remain below the Village's 75% lot coverage limit with the addition of
the new parking spaces. The Petitioner agreed to consolidate the site to a one-lot subdivision and to engineer the
site as noted in the Staff Report.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Variation to
allow a 3' landscape setback along the west lot line as shown in the Petitioner's exhibit prepared by SGM
Architects dated April 20, 2006, and landscaped as shown on the Petitioner's landscape plan prepared by Teska
Associates date stamped May 21, 2007, for the property located at 585 Slawin Court, Case No. PZ-19-07.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17, 2007 meeting. Staff will be present to an~lles~~ this malter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. After
hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-19-07, a request for a sideyard setback Variation
at 585 Slawin Court, at 7:54 p.m.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Property consists of two lots of record and is located at the
southeast edge of the Slawin Court cul-de-sac bulb, in the Kensington Business Center. The Subject Property
contains a one-story office/warehouse masonry building with related improvements. The Subject Property is
zoned II Limited Industrial and is bordered on all sides by the II District.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner is in the process of securing a tenant for the Subject Property. The tenant is
currently located at an adjacent property on Slawin Court, and would like to move to the Subject Property to
accommodate their expanding business operations. However, for internal business requirements, the tenant
requires more parking than is currently provided on-site. She stated that due to physical site constraints, the only
viable location for the additional parking is along the west lot line of the Subject Property. The proposed parking
stalls would encroach into the required 10-foot landscape setback and have a 3-foot setback. She said the
Petitioner owns the abutting property, 580 Slawin Court, and proposes to extensively landscape the 13-feet
between the two properties. The request requires Variation approval because the proposed parking will encroach
into the required 10-foot landscaping setback.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Property does not comply with the Village's zoning regulations because it
consists of two lots of record, and the existing building crosses the lot line. The lot is not a legal lot of record as
defined by the Village Code, and will have to be consolidated to a one-lot subdivision in order to comply with
Richard Rogers, Chairman

PZ-19-07
Page 2
Zoning Code regulations for building on a legal lot of record. The consolidation process would be done
administratively and does not require further action by the Planning and Zoning Commission. She showed a table
comparing the Petitioner's proposal to the II Limited Industrial District's bulk and parking requirements. The
table illustrated that the Petitioner's request complies with lot coverage limitations and exceeds the Village's
parking requirements.
Ms. Connolly said the standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance
and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. She summarized these
findings:
. A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
· Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
. Protection ofthe public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner researched alternative locations to locate the additional parking, but found
that the detention pond, numerous easements, and the adjacent creek limited development options. Therefore, the
proposed location was the 'default option' because the other areas ofthe Subject Property are unbuildable.
Ms. Connolly said Staff contacted the proposed tenant and learned that they intend to use the building as a sales
office and would have a significant number of international clients visit the facility. Consequently, they anticipate
needing more parking than the minimum amount required per the Village Code. She stated that adequate parking
in general has been an issue for a few other properties in the Kensington Business Center, and has led to limited
redevelopment opportunities/prolonged vacancies. She said in this case, the amount of parking is not an issue
since the site will be well below the Village's 75% lot coverage limitation. However, locating the parking in a
required side yard requires code relief.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Zoning Ordinance requires a 10-foot landscape setback along the parking lot
perimeter to screen vehicles and to provide a buffer for the adjacent properties. In this case, the Petitioner owns
both properties and proposes to add a variety of landscape material on the adjacent lot to screen the vehicles and
provide a buffer. Also, the Subject Properties are located at the bulb of a cul-de-sac, which presents limited views
for other properties, and the site is located in an industrial business park.
Ms. Connolly said the proposed encroachment may not be perceived as meeting the definition of a hardship as
defined by the Zoning Ordinance because the request is based on the tenant's internal requirements and could be
interpreted as a convenience. However, the Kensington Business Center (KBC) was initially developed as an
industrial-office park and the parking was designed for less intensive users. As the character and nature of the
KBC changes to more of an office-only park, Staff anticipates future tenants will require additional parking.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Engineering Division reviewed the request and found that the scope of improvements
would require the Petitioner to improve the site as required by Sec. 15.501 of the Village's Development Code.
Among these requirements is the need to provide storm water detention for the new impervious surface created,
which is slightly more than 1,500 square feet. She said the Petitioner is aware of and has agreed to make these
changes as required by code.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposal to construct parking stalls in a required side yard setback meets the
Variation standards contained in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance because the detention pond,
easements, and location of the existing building create physical limitations to expanding the parking lot. Based on
this analysis, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:

"To approve a Variation permitting a 3-foot landscape setback along the west lot line as shown in
the Petitioner's exhibit prepared by SGM Architects dated April 20, 2006, and landscaped as
shown on the Petitioner's landscape plan prepared by Teska Associates date stamped May 21,
2007, for the property located at 585 Slawin Court, Case Number PZ-19-07."
Ms. Connolly said the storm water detention and site consolidation will be addressed at time of Building permit.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case because the setback is more than 25% of the Village Code
requirement.
Chairman Rogers asked if the Petitioner is proposing new parking. Ms. Connolly confirmed it would be a new
parking area.
Chairman Rogers swore in Don Tadish, property manager for 585 and 580 Slawin Court. Mr. Tadish stated they
wish to expand the parking to accommodate Siemens Corporation business expansion. He said that there are
limitations to the site and the required sideyard is the only buildable space on the lot. Chairman Rogers asked if
Siemans will be occupying both spaces. Mr. Tadish said they will be moving into the larger, 585 Slawin Court
building.
Mr. Floros asked how many parking spaces this project IS creating. Mr. Taddish stated this will create
approximately 34 new spaces.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments. Hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed at
8:03 p.m.
Mary McCabe made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-19-07 granting a sideyard setback Variation at 585
Slawin Court. Ronald Roberts seconded the motion.

Motion was approved 5-0.
After hearing seven additional cases, Ronald Roberts made a motion to adjourn at 11 :04 p.m., seconded by Mary
McCabe. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

HEARING DATE: JUNE 28, 2007
SUBJECT: PZ-19-07 - VARIA nON (PARKING LOT SETBACK)
585 SLA WIN COURT (FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 28, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting to review the
application by First Industrial Realty Trust (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 585 Slawin Court
(the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested a Variation to construct additional parking stalls 3' from
the property line when the Zoning Ordinance requires a 10' setback. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in
the June 13,2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written
notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property consists of two lots of record and is located at the southeast edge of the Slawin Court cul-
de-sac bulb, in the Kensington Business Center. The Subject Property contains a one-story office/warehouse
masonry building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned II Limited Industrial and is bordered
on all sides by the II District.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner is in the process of securing a tenant for the Subject Property. The tenant is currently located at an
adjacent property on Slawin Court, and would like to move to the Subject Property to accommodate their
expanding business operations. However, for internal business requirements, the tenant requires more parking
than is currently provided on-site. Due to physical site constraints, the only viable location for the additional
parking is along the west lot line of the Subject Property. The proposed parking stalls would encroach into the
required 10' landscape setback and have a 3' setback. The Petitioner owns the abutting property, 580 Slawin
Court, and proposes to extensively landscape the 13' between the two properties. The request requires Variation
approval because the proposed parking will encroach into the required 10' landscaping setback.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property does not comply with the Village's zoning regulations because it consists of two lots of
record, and the existing building crosses the lot line. The lot is not a legal lot of record as defined by the Village
Code, and will have to be consolidated to a one-lot subdivision in order to comply with Zoning Code regulations
for building on a legal lot of record. The consolidation process would be done administratively and does not

require further action by the P&Z. The following table compares the Petitioner's proposal to the II Limited
Industrial District's bulk and parking requirements. The table illustrates that the Petitioner's request complies
with lot coverage limitations and exceeds the Village's parking requirements.

VARIATION STANDARDS
The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these
findings:
· A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not
generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person
presently having an interest in the property;
· Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
· Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
The Petitioner researched alternative locations to locate the additional parking, but found that the detention pond,
numerous easements, and the adjacent creek limited development options. Therefore, the proposed location was
the 'default option' because the other areas of the Subject Property are unbuildable.
Staff contacted the proposed tenant and learned that they intend to use the building as a sales office and would
have a significant number of international clients visit the facility. Consequently, they anticipate needing more
parking than the minimum amount required per the Village Code. Adequate parking in general has been an issue
for a few other properties in the Kensington Business Center, and has led to limited redevelopment
opportunities/prolonged vacancies. In this case, the amount of parking is not an issue since the site will be well
below the Village's 75% lot coverage limitation. However, locating the parking in a required side yard requires
code relief.
The Zoning Ordinance requires a 10' landscape setback along the parking lot perimeter to screen vehicles and to
provide a buffer for the adjacent properties. In this case, the Petitioner owns both properties and proposes to add
a variety of landscape material on the adjacent lot to screen the vehicles and provide a buffer. Also, the Subject
Properties are located at the bulb of a cul-de-sac, which presents limited views for other properties, and the site is
located in an industrial business park.

The proposed encroachment may not be perceived as meeting the definition of a hardship as defined by the
Zoning Ordinance because the request is based on the tenant's internal requirements and could be interpreted as a
convenience. However, the Kensington Business Center was initially developed as an industrial-office park and
the parking was designed for less intensive userslbusinesses as warehouse requires I space per 1,500 sq. ft. As
the character and nature of the KBC changes to more of an office-only park, Staff anticipates future tenants will
require additional parking.
The Engineering Division reviewed the request and found that the scope of improvements would require the
Petitioner to improve the site as required by Sec. 15.501 of the Village's Development Code. Among these
requirements is the need to provide stormwater detention for the new impervious surface created, which is slightly
more than 1,500 sq.ft.
It should be noted that similar parking lot expansions in the Kensington Business Center have triggered additional
detention volume to be provided. This is typically accomplished be modifying the existing pond. The pond in
question was recently dredged and lined, so any modifications to the pond would have to conform to the existing
pond section. Specifications for the pond section can be provided during the permit review.
It should also be noted that the pond to which 585 Slawin Court drains was identified has having insufficient
volume for the existing tributary area. Consequently, Engineering would not be able to support a Code exception
that would create more impervious area draining to this pond without providing the appropriate increase in
storage volume.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposal to construct parking stalls in a required side yard setback meets the Variation standards contained in
Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance because the detention pond, easements, and location of the existing
building create physical limitations to expanding the parking lot. The Petitioner is aware of and agrees to make
the Village Code required site improvements, including, but not limited to providing storm water detention for the
new impervious surface created. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following
motion:
"To approve a Variation permitting a 3' landscape setback along the west lot line as shown in the Petitioner's
exhibit prepared by SGM Architects dated April 20, 2006, and landscaped as shown on the Petitioner's landscape
plan prepared by Teska Associates date stamped May 21, 2007, for the property located at 585 Slawin Court,
Case No. PZ-19-07."
The storm water detention and site consolidation will be addressed at time of Building permit; the Village Board's
decision is final for this case because the setback is more than 25% of the Village Code requirement.

SUMMARY AND JUSTIFICATION
The owner ofthe property would like to accommodate the needs of Seimens Corp. by
increasing the parking area by 34 stalls. First Industrial owns two adjacent properties at
580 and 585 Slawin Court. Seimens would like to move and expand into the larger 585
property however the parking is less than their needs. This variation is needed due to the
unique situation of the 585 property. 585 Slawin is bounded on two sides by restrictive
elements; on the south is the Feehanville Drainage Ditch and on the east are a detention
pond and a recreation easement. These elements dramatically reduce the usable area on
this parcel. This parking change would help keep a Mount Prospect tenant from leaving.
This change would not be detrimental to other properties in the area and as you see we
will plant substantial greenery to maintain the character of the park. Likewise this
variation will not affect the light or air of adjacent properties nor will it increase
congestion, chance of fire, natural drainage endanger the public safety or diminish or
impair property values.

SUBJECT:

CATHLEEN SCHIRO - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-33-06, a request for the
Village to vacate a pedestrian right-of-way (walkway), and subdivide the vacated land equally among the adjacent
properties, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at the
April 26 and May 24, 2007 meetings.
The Subject Properties consist of four lots of record that are located south of Golf Road, north of Ash Drive; two
lots are located on Cypress Drive and two lots are located on Lancaster Street. There is a 20' wide pedestrian
right-of-way/intended walkway that is located between the Subject Properties. It is currently grassed over and
used and maintained only by the applicants. The proposed plats would: 1) vacate an undeveloped pedestrian
right-of-way and equally divide that land among the four adjacent property owners, and 2) consolidate the vacated
pedestrian right-of-way with the adjacent properties.
The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the requests and found that the plats are consistent with previous
Village approvals where undeveloped rights-of-way between two homes was vacated. They found that the plats
would not create any nonconformities and were prepared according to Village Code requirements.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a Plat of Vacation
and a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Schiro's Resubdivision, benefiting the properties located at 1011 Cypress Dr.,
1013 Cypress Dr., 1010 Lancaster St., and 1012 Lancaster St., Case No. PZ-33-06.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17,2007 meeting. Staffwill be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0.
Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-33-06, a request for the Village to vacate a 20-foot pedestrian right-of-way
and consolidate the vacated land with the four adjacent properties at 1011 Cypress, 1013 Cypress, 1010 Lancaster,
and 1012 Lancaster, at 7:39 p.m.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Properties consist of four lots of record that are located
south of Golf Road, north of Ash Drive; two lots are located on Cypress Drive and two lots are located on
Lancaster Street. Each of the Subject Properties contains a single-family residence with related improvements.
The Subject Properties are zoned Rl Single-Family Residence and are bordered on all sides by the Rl District.
There is a 20-foot wide pedestrian right-of-way that was intended to be a walkway that is located between the
Subject Properties. It is currently grassed over and used and maintained only by the applicants.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner contacted the Village and requested the Village vacate the pedestrian right-of-
way/walkway. The area in question is located between four homes and the walkway was never installed. Per
Village policy, the Petitioner prepared a Plat of Vacation that vacates the right-of-way and gives each adjacent
property Y2 of the right-of-way. In this case, there are four properties, so each of the properties would receive a
10-foot x 113-foot portion. She said a four-lot plat of resubdivision was prepared that consolidates the soon-to-be
vacated land with each of the Subject Properties. The Village Code requires the Planning & Zoning Commission
review the proposed plats and forward a recommendation to the Village Board for their consideration and final
action.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Properties currently meet the Village's minimum lot size requirements.
However, the properties do not comply with the Village's minimum 120-foot lot depth requirement. She showed

PZ-33-06
Page 2
a table comparing the current lot size to the proposed lot size and shows that the lot size would continue to
comply with Village regulations, but the lot depth would remain unchanged.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposed plats would: 1) vacate an undeveloped pedestrian right-of-way and equally
divide that land among the four adjacent property owners, and 2) consolidate the vacated pedestrian right-of-way
with the adjacent properties. Staff reviewed the plats and found that the plats were prepared in accordance with
the Village's Development Code requirements. Based on this, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the
following motion:
"To approve a Plat of Vacation and a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Schiro's Resubdivision,
benefiting the properties located at 1011 Cypress Drive, 1013 Cypress Drive, 1010 Lancaster
Street, and 1012 Lancaster Street, Case Number PZ-33-06."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Rogers asked the Commission if they had questions for Staff. There were no questions.
Chairman Rogers swore in Cathy Schiro of 1013 Cypress Drive. Ms. Schiro stated that the Petitioners are
requesting approval of the Vacation and Resubdivision because the land in question has never been developed to
its original intent as a walkway, the neighbors currently maintain the parcel, and most importantly, the property
owners not owning the land limits improvements the homeowners can make to their property. As an example,
Ms. Schiro stated that when she applied for a concrete permit, she could not improve her lot as desired because
she didn't own the adjacent land, although she maintained it, and the proposed new concrete would exceed the
Village's lot coverage limit.
Chairman Rogers asked if the neighbors maintain this parcel; Ms. Schiro confirmed that they do maintain the
property. Mr. Rogers asked if one of the adjacent properties had a fence; Ms. Schiro stated that her property does
have a fence and they intend to keep the fence in place.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments. There were none and the Public Hearing was
closed at 7:43 p.m.
Ronald Roberts made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-33-06, a request for a Vacation and Resubdivision at
1013 Cypress Drive, as presented by Staff. Marlys Haaland seconded the motion.
Leo Floros asked if this type of Vacation/Resubdivision has been done in this area before. Ms. Connolly
confirmed this would be consistent with previous Village Board actions.
Mr. Roberts and Ms. Haaland both indicated they live in the area and agree this is an appropriate action.
UPON ROLL CALL:
A YES: Floros, Haaland, Roberts, McCabe, Rogers
NAYS: None
Motion was approved 5-0.
After hearing nine additional cases, Ronald Roberts made a motion to adjourn at 11 :04 p.m., seconded by Mary
McCabe. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

TO: MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: JUNE 21, 2007
HEARING DATE: JUNE 28, 2007
SUBJECT: PZ-33-06 - 1) PLAT OF V ACA nON, 2) PLAT OF RESUBDIVISION (4-LOTS)
1011 CYPRESS DR., 1013 CYPRESS DR., 1010 LANCASTER ST., AND 1012
LANCASTER ST. (SCHIRO RESIDENCE - APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 28, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting to review the
application by Michael and Cathleen Schiro (the "Petitioner") regarding the properties located at lOll Cypress
Dr., 1013 Cypress Dr., 1010 Lancaster St., and 1012 Lancaster St. (the "Subject Properties"). The Petitioner
requested the Village vacate a pedestrian right-of-way (walkway), and the vacated land would be divided equally
among the adjacent properties, which requires approval of the Plat of Vacation and Plat of Resubdivision. The
P&Z hearing was properly noticed by posting Public Hearing signs on each of the Subject Properties.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Properties consist of four lots of record that are located south of Golf Road, north of Ash Drive; two
lots are located on Cypress Drive and two lots are located on Lancaster Street. Each of the Subject Properties
contains a single-family residence with related improvements. The Subject Properties are zoned RI Single-
Family Residence and are bordered on all sides by the RI District. There is a 20' wide pedestrian right-of-
way/intended walkway that is located between the Subject Properties. It is currently grassed over and used and
maintained only by the applicants.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner contacted the Village and requested the Village vacate the pedestrian right-of-way/walkway. The
area in question is located between four homes and the walkway was never installed. Per Village policy, the
Petitioner prepared a Plat of Vacation that vacates the right-of-way and gives each adjacent property Y2 of the
right-of-way. In this case, there are four properties, so each of the properties would receive a I O'xl13' portion.
Also, a four-lot plat of resubdivision was prepared that consolidates the soon-to-be vacated land with each of the
Subject Properties. The Village Code requires the Planning & Zoning Commission review the proposed plats and
forward a recommendation to the Village Board for their consideration and final action.
PROPOSED LOT SIZES
The Subject Properties currently meet the Village's minimum lot size requirements. However, the properties do
not comply with the Village's minimum 120' lot depth requirement (Sec.15.305.B) as the lots measure 113' deep.

PLATS OF VACATION AND RESUBDIVISION
The proposed plats would: 1) vacate an undeveloped pedestrian right-of-way and equally divide that land among
the four adjacent property owners, and 2) consolidate the vacated pedestrian right-of-way with the adjacent
properties. Staff reviewed the plats and found that the plats were prepared in accordance with the Village's
Development Code requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed plats have been prepared according to all Village Codes and requirements noted in Sec. 15.304.
Based on this, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:
"To approve a Plat of Vacation and a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Schiro's Resubdivision, benefiting the
properties located at lOll Cypress Dr., 1013 Cypress Dr., 1010 Lancaster St., and 1012 Lancaster St., Case No.
PZ-33-06."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JULY 13, 2007
SUBJECT:
PZ-15-07 -1) REZONE FROM 11 TO R4 MULTI-FAMILY, 2) CONDITIONAL USE
FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
701 E. PROSPECT AVE.
STRUCTURES CONSTRUCTION LLC, TIM LOUCOPOULOS - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-15-07, a request to 1)
rezone the Subject Property from 11 Limited Industrial to R4 Multi-Family, and 2) approval of a Conditional Use
permit for a Planned Unit Development, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning
Commission heard the request at the June 28, 2007 meeting.
The Subject Property is located at the intersection of Prospect Ave. and Edward Street, and currently contains a
vacant industrial office/warehouse building with related improvements. The Petitioner's proposal includes the
demolition of the existing building and the redevelopment of the site as a 12-unit rowhome development. The
development would consist of (3) groups of 4-unit buildings and the proposed site plan indicates that the buildings
will be located 12' from the Prospect Avenue property line, 10' from the Edward Street property line, and
approximately 9' from the rear (alley) lot line.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the request at length. They noted that the type of housing,
rowhomes, is an appropriate transitional use between the multifamily to the west and the single family to the east.
Several neighbors presented concerns that visitor parking would become an issue, that the buildings were too tall,
and that the proposed setbacks would limit their ability to access their property as they currently use the on-site
parking spaces when parking in their garages. The Commissioners clarified that the project exceeds the Village's
parking requirements and that the neighbors have the option of working with the Village's Safety Commission to
evaluate the current parking situation.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve 1) a Map
Amendment to rezone the property from 11 Limited Industrial to R4 Multi-family Residence; and 2) a Conditional
Use permit for a 12-unit row home Planned Unit Development subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Report
for the property located at 701 E. Prospect Ave., Case No. PZ-15-07.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17,2007 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. After
hearing six previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-15-07, a request for Rezoning from 11 to R4 and
a Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development at 701 East Prospect Avenue, at 8:32 p.m.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Property is located at the intersection of Prospect Avenue
and Edward Street, and currently contains a vacant industrial office/warehouse building with related
improvements. The Subject Property is zoned 11 Limited Industrial and is bordered by the Rl Single Family
District to the east, R3 Low Density Residential to the south, and R4 Multi-family to the west.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's proposal includes the demolition of the existing building and the
redevelopment ofthe site as a 12-unit rowhome development. The Subject Property is currently zoned 11 Limited
Industrial, and the Petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the Subject Property to R4 Multi-family. The R4
district allows a maximum density of 16 dwelling units per acre for multi-family developments. She said the
Petitioner's proposal includes a density of 13 units per acre (12 units/0.92 acres), which falls below the maximum
density permitted within the R4 District.
Ms. Connolly stated that in addition to the requested rezoning, the Petitioner is also requesting approval of a
Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the rowhome development. This request is
due to the Village Code's requirement that two or more multi-family residential buildings may be located on the
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-15-07
Page 2
same zoning lot only as part of an approved PUD. The PUD process also allows for unified zoning control over
the entire development, which would require formal Village approval if any modifications to the development are
proposed in the future.
Ms. Connolly showed a site plan illustrating the proposed layout for the 12-unit rowhome development. The
development would consist of three groups of 4-unit buildings: one group would have frontage along Prospect
A venue, the second group would have frontage along Edward Street, and the third group would be accessed from
the existing alley, but have frontage to an interior courtyard area. Each of the rowhome units would have a
separate entrance, a two-car garage, and a two-car driveway. She said the pavement width of the access
aisle/driveway throughout the development is 22-feet and allows for 2-way traffic throughout the development,
although the Village Code requires a 24-foot width for 2-way traffic.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposed site plan indicates that the buildings will be located 12-feet from the
Prospect Avenue property line, 10-feet from the Edward Street property line, and approximately 9-feet from the
alley lot line. She showed a table listing the Bulk Regulations for the R4 District and showed that all of the
proposed setbacks require relief from the R4 Bulk Regulations.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.9% lot
coverage, which is below the 50% limitation. The project is subject to all development requirements as detailed
in Sec. 15.402 of the Village Code.
Ms. Connolly showed elevations indicating the architectural composition of the rowhomes. The units are 3-story
rowhomes, with attached rear loading garages on the first floor, and a deck above it. She said each building will
have a flat roof, but the height of the roofline will vary for each individual unit, and the end units include a turret.
The overall average height of the buildings is 36-feet, 4-inches and requires relief from the Zoning Ordinance as
the height limitation in the R4 District is 34-feet from the mid-point of the roof. The building materials for the
exterior elevations will consist of stone, and two different types of brick as well as decorative trim.
Ms. Connolly stated that in response to Staff comments, the Petitioner prepared a turn radius plan showing that
vehicles can access all of the garages. The Petitioner took a field measurement and confirmed a 20-foot wide
alley width, which meets the Fire Department's requirement for access. Currently, there are utilities that would
block access to the rear garages, and plans to relocate the utilities will be reviewed as part of the Building permit
process.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's proposal indicates that there will be at least two types of floor plans for the
rowhomes. Each unit would include at least 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room, which could be converted to a
bedroom or an office. She stated that the Village Code requires 2 Y2 parking spaces per dwelling unit for
multiple-family dwellings containing 3 bedrooms or more. The Petitioner's proposal contains a 2-car garage plus
two driveway parking spaces per unit. In addition, the Petitioner's plans indicate 15 on-street parking spaces are
available along the south side of Prospect Ave. and the west side of Edward Street. However, the on-street spaces
are not available for overnight parking.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of new landscaping materials will be
planted throughout the development. The plan was revised to reflect a 5-foot fence along the west lot line, which
complies with the minimum fence height limitation.
Ms. Connolly said the property is located along a collector street and it is adjacent to an apartment complex,
townhomes, and single family residences. The recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the
subject properties as Multi-family Residential, which allows for the R4 zoning district. She stated, as previously
noted, the proposal does not comply with the R4 Bulk Regulations and requires relief from the Code.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007

Ms. Connolly stated that the standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section l4.203.D.8.a of the Village
Zoning Ordinance. When a Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make
findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the
following matters:
· The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
. The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
. Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
Ms. Connolly said the Subject Property is adjacent to an existing townhome development, a multi-family
apartment building, and across the street from single-family residences. It would be consistent with recent
developments approved in the Village and it would be an appropriate use for the Subject Property. She said the
proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is compatible with existing properties within the
general area ofthe Subject Property.
Ms. Connolly stated that the standards for approving a Planned Unit Development are listed in Section 14.504 of
the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section contains specific findings that must be made in order to approve a
Planned Unit Development. These standards relate to:
. The proposed development complies with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be
located;
. The principal use in the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the recommendations of
the comprehensive plan of the village for the area containing the subject site;
. That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of
this zoning ordinance.
. That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
She said the proposal is consistent with the recently updated Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map. Also, the
rowhomes are in keeping with previously approved redevelopment projects in the downtown area of the Village.
Although the proposal does not comply with the R4 Zoning District regulations, the project location is in close
proximity to the B5 District and the proposal has similar setbacks as other recently approved rowhome
developments. However, it is unclear how the project creates a public benefit as noted in Sec. 14.501; she stated
that previously approved PUD projects included off-site improvements when it was not possible to provide an on-
site amenity. She said there are many options available to the developer.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposed Map Amendment and Conditional Use requests meet the standards for each
request as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning
Commission approve the following motion:

Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case, 701 E. Prospect Avenue, Case Number
PZ-15-07.
Chairman Rogers asked why the project is being recommended for approval when none of the setback
requirements have been meet. Ms. Connolly stated that this project is very similar to and consistent with other
Richard Rogers, Chairman

PZ-15-07
Page 5
rowhome products in the area and due to its proximity to the B5 District, which has no setback requirements, Staff
felt this project fit into the area.
Mary McCabe asked what the lot coverage requirement is in the 11 District. Ms. Connolly said the 11 District has
a 75% lot coverage requirement. The Subject Property currently is close to 90% lot coverage and the proposed
project will take it down to less than 50%.
Leo Floros asked if the Fire Department has signed off on this project. Ms. Connolly confirmed the Fire
Department approval, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
Chairman Rogers swore Mark Hopkins of HKM Architects at 43 South Vail Street, Arlington Heights, Illinois.
Mr. Hopkins thanked Staff for a thorough presentation. He stated he would like to focus his presentation on some
of the design concepts of the project. He showed exhibits displaying the traditional style of the brownstone-style
rowhomes. He explained that several of the mature trees on the property will be maintained in the proposed
project. The open space indicated on the exhibits are added greenspace to decrease lot coverage. He gave a brief
overview of the floor plans for the three-story units. He showed elevations and gave a summary of the proposed
building materials.
Chairman Rogers stated that he likes the project and it is a good mix that will fit into the development of the
downtown. He asked for clarification on the materials being used to face the turrets. Mr. Hopkins stated that the
material is a cementitious hardy board. Chairman Rogers asked if the roofing over the entry ways are shingle-
roofs. Mr. Hopkins confirmed the entrances have shingle-roofs.
Chairman Rogers asked for clarification on the existing trees in the landscape plan. Mr. Hopkins stated those
trees are currently located in the parking lot in landscape plots.
Leo Floros asked who the target market is for these townhomes. Mr. Hopkins said they will be geared at young
professionals and empty-nesters that are willing to climb stairs. Mr. Floros asked what the price range is on the
units. Mr. Hopkins stated that pricing will start in the mid-$500,000 range.
Mr. Floros asked if the new median being placed on Prospect Avenue will affect the parking at the townhomes.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Engineering Division indicated there is currently no intention to extend the median
plantings that far down Prospect Avenue.
Ronald Roberts asked if the current building is vacant and how long it has been vacant. Chairman Rogers swore
in Tim Loucopoulos, owner of 701 East Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Loucopoulos stated that
the building has been vacant for nearly two years. There was general discussion regarding previous tenants. Mr.
Loucopoulos said they have owned the property for six months and could not confirm previous occupants or
tenants.
Marlys Haaland stated that the project is very appealing and will make a nice addition to the downtown. Mr.
Roberts concurred.
Mary McCabe said that the existing building has an industrial appearance and does not fit into the character of the
neighborhood; the proposed rowhomes will fit into the area.
Ms. Connolly asked the Petitioner to clarify where the HVAC units will be located. Mr. Hopkins said the
condensers will be located on the roof, behind the parapets. Mr. Roberts asked if any of the condensers would be
visible from the street; Mr. Hopkins stated that the condensers would be concealed by the parapets and would not
be visible from the street or sidewalk.

Chairman Rogers called for questions or comments from the audience.
Chairman Rogers swore in George Wiedemann of 801 E. Prospect Avenue, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr.
Wiedemann said he understands that this comer does need to be redeveloped and agrees that townhomes are most
likely the best fit for the property. He does not agree with the proposed 10-foot setback along Edward Street. He
stated that this development, with the proposed setbacks, does not fit in with character of the neighborhood. He
also said the height of this project is out of character with the neighborhood. He offered suggestions to the
Petitioner on ways to address these concerns. Mr. Wiedemann also indicated that he has concerns that the Staff
memo was unable to identify the public benefit of this project as sited in Village Code Section 14.501 and would
like more information regarding this requirement. He stated that he is also concerned with the parking for the
proposed development. He is concerned that the new parking lot entrances and the on-street parking will create a
blind spot and that the additional traffic volume will be more than the neighborhood streets and alley's can handle.
There was general discussion regarding the parking in the area. Mr. Wiedemann concluded by stating that unless
the setbacks is changed to 25-feet along Edward Street and the parking concerns are addressed, he would like to
see the Commission vote "no" on this project.
Chairman Rogers swore in Thomas Manion of 501 S. Edward Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Manion stated
he has similar concerns regarding the parking in the neighborhood. He said he had been on a committee when the
neighborhood had issues with the DMS building. He stated that he does not feel the parking issue has been fully
addressed; he would like to see "No Parking" signs posted in front of some of the single family homes. Chairman
Rogers clarified that the project is providing more parking per unit without including the on-street parking than
the Code requires. Mr. Manion said he does not want additional parking conflicts to start in the neighborhood.
Chairman Rogers swore in Rodger Kruse of 515 South Louis Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Kruse stated he
is not in favor of the proposed setbacks of the project, but parking is a nightmare in the neighborhood and he is
most concerned about the parking. He stated in the morning there are 15 cars parked on Sha Bonee Trail, creating
a one-lane situation. Chairman Rogers asked who is parking in the street; Mr. Kruse stated that it is the residents
of the Sha Bonee condos.
Chairman Rogers swore in Matt Bradley of 714 East Sha Bonee Trail, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Bradley said
his driveway exits into the alley directly across from the proposed townhome. He said his vehicle requires a wide
turning radius and he currently uses the parking lot to assist in turning his vehicle. He stated the proposed
driveways will make the turn radius into his garage a tight turn.
Chairman Rogers swore in Myroslava Lenz 420 South Edward Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Lenz stated
she lives directly behind the entrance of the proposed townhomes. She is concerned that the project will add a lot
of traffic. Chairman Rogers asked if they have adequate parking for their tenants. Ms. Lenz confirmed there is
enough parking, but she is worried about the traffic increase in the alley and added difficulty to snow removal.
She also asked how the refuse collection would be handled for the new development.
Chairman Rogers deferred to Mr. Hopkins to address resident concerns. Mr. Hopkins stated the 10-foot setback is
required to maintain the aesthetics of the project and keep the relationship with stairs and the sidewalk. He said
they had explored the idea of moving the units back, but that would require the garages being moved to face
Edward Street. Mr. Hopkins said pushing the units back would increase lot coverage and would not fit on the lot
as well. Mr. R()b~t1s stated if the units on Edward Street were pushed back, there would not be adequate room to
maneuver cars in and out of the garages. There was general discussion regarding setbacks and configuration of
the project. Mr. Hopkins said from a planning standpoint, this layout is very similar to other suburban-center
developments. He said this is a nice transition from urban center of Mount Prospect to the suburban
neighborhood aspect of Mount Prospect.

Mr. Hopkins stated that garbage cans will be stored inside the garages and the trash collector will pull the truck
into the development's driveway to collect the refuse.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments. Hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed at
9:28 p.m.
Leo Floros made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-15-07 granting rezoning and a Conditional Use at 701
East Prospect Avenue. Mary McCabe seconded the motion.
Chairman Rogers stated that he sees the benefit of having this type of transitional space between the downtown
area and the single family residence and understands that residents don't necessarily want this in their backyard,
but it has to occur somewhere, and this project is attractive and fits into the character of the neighborhood. He
said this project will not resolve the existing parking situation, but the Planning and Zoning Commission does not
have control over parking regulations. He stated that the parking issue would need to be brought to the Village's
attention and handled in the proper manner.
Mr. Floros stated that he prefers this design to having the garages in front of the properties. He also said he would
like Staff to take note of the residents concerns regarding the parking along Edward Street and pass that along to
the Village Board. Ms. Connolly stated that she already directed Mr. Wiedemann to speak to Matt Lawrie, Village
Traffic Engineer, regarding his parking concerns. There was general discussion regarding the overnight parking
in the neighborhood.
Chairman Rogers stated that the Petitioner understands there are conditions attached to this approval and the
Petitioner concurred.

TO: MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: JUNE 21,2007
HEARING DATE: JUNE 28, 2007
SUBJECT: PZ-15-07 - MAP AMENDMENT & CONDITIONAL USE (PUD ROWHOME
DEVELOPMENT)
701 E. PROSPECT AVE. - STRUCTURES CONSTRUCTION LLC (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 28, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by Structures Construction LLC (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 701 E. Prospect
Ave. (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking: 1) to rezone the Subject Property from II Limited
Industrial to R4 Multi-Family, and 2) approval of a Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development. The
P&Z Commission hearing was properly noticed in the May 9, 2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In
addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted Public
Hearing signs on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located at the intersection of Prospect Ave. and Edward Street, and currently contains a
vacant industrial office/warehouse building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned II Limited
Industrial and is bordered by the Rl Single Family District to the east, R3 Low Density Residential to the south,
and R4 Multi-family to the west. The Metra rail road tracks are across Prospect Avenue, north of the Subject
Property, and metered parking is currently available along .the north side of Prospect Avenue, and two hour
parking is currently available on the south side of Prospect Ave., west of Edward Street.
SUMMARY
The Petitioner's proposal includes the demolition of the existing building and the redevelopment of the site as a
12-unit rowhome development. The various elements of the proposal are outlined below:
Rezoning Request - As noted previously, the Subject Property is currently zoned II Limited Industrial, and the
Petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the Subject Property to R4 Multi-family. The R4 district allows a
maximum density of 16 dwelling units per acre for multi-family developments. The Petitioner's proposal
includes a density of 13 units per acre (12 units/0.92 acres), which falls below the maximum density permitted
within the R4 District.
PZ-15-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28, 2007
Page 3
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development - In addition to the requested rezoning, the Petitioner is also
requesting approval of a Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development for the rowhome development.
This request is due to the Village Code's requirement that two or more multi-family residential buildings may be
located on the same zoning lot only as part of an approved planned unit development (PUD). The PUD process
also allows for unified zoning control over the entire development, which would require formal Village approval
if any modifications to the development are proposed in the future.
Site Plan - The attached site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the l2-unit rowhome development. The
development would consist of (3) groups of 4-unit buildings: one group would have frontage along Prospect Ave.,
the second group would have frontage along Edward St., and the third group would be accessed from the existing
alley, but have frontage to an interior courtyard area. Each of the rowhome units would have a separate entrance,
a two-car garage, and a two-car driveway. The pavement width of the access aisle/driveway throughout the
development is 22-feet and allows for 2-way traffic throughout the development, although the Village Code
requires a 24-foot width for 2-way traffic.
The proposed site plan indicates that the buildings will be located 12' from the Prospect Avenue property line, 10'
from the Edward Street property line, and approximately 9' from the rear (alley) lot line. The following table lists
the Bulk Regulations for the R4 District and shows that all of the proposed setbacks require relief from the R4
Bulk Regulations.
R4 Re uirements
30 feet
10 ercent of lot width, or 10 feet, whichever is less
20 feet
25 feet
Building Design - The enclosed elevations indicate the architectural composition of the rowhomes. The units are
3-story row homes, with attached rear loading garages on the first floor, and a deck above it. Each building will
have a flat roof, but the height of the roofline will vary for each individual unit, and the end units include a turret.
The overall average height of the buildings is 36'4" and requires relief from the Zoning Ordinance as the height
limitation in the R4 District is 34' from the mid-point of the roof. The building materials for the exterior
elevations will consist of stone, and two different types of brick as well as decorative trim.
The Petitioner's Site Plan indicates wall mounted lights will be installed. This was called out in response to the
Police Department's requirements. Also, the Crime Prevention Unit requires that the addresses be installed under
the photocell light fixtures and that the front and rear of the units display the address. This will ensure optimal
visibility/identification for emergency vehicles.
Site Access - The Petitioner's plan shows that residents will access the development from the existing alley, off
of Edward Street. The proposed access requires relocating the existing on-site utilities. A 22-foot wide drive
aisle provides access to the rear-loading garages. Staff has concerns that access to/from a few of the garages may
be difficult to negotiate due to the pavement width and garage location. Therefore, Staff recommends the
Petitioner prepare a turning radius plan before the case is presented to the Village Board that illustrates vehicles
can easily access all of the garages. Also, in order to comply with the Fire Department's requirements, the
Petitioner shall take a field measurement and update the site plan to reflect a 20-foot wide alley width. Plans to
relocate the utilities will be reviewed as part of the Building permit process.
Parking - The Petitioner's proposal indicates that there will be at least two types of floor plans for the rowhomes.
Each unit would include at least 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room, which could be converted to a bedroom or an
office. The Village Code requires 2 12 parking spaces per dwelling unit (for multiple-family dwellings containing
3 bedrooms or more). The Petitioner's proposal contains a 2-car garage plus two driveway parking spaces per
PZ-15-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28, 2007
Page 4
unit. In addition, the Petitioner's plans indicate 15 on-street parking spaces are available along the south side of
Prospect Ave. and the west side of Edward Street. However, the on-street spaces are not available for overnight
parking.
Lot Coverage - The Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.9% lot coverage,
which is below the 50% limitation. The project is subject to all development requirements as detailed in Sec.
15.402 of the Village Code.
Landscape Plan - The Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of new landscaping materials will be
planted throughout the development. The landscape plan indicates that shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees
will be the primary screening material around the perimeter of the Subject Property. Flowering shrubs and
perennials will be installed along the foundation of the units.
Also, the plan indicates that an 8-foot tall fence would be installed along the west lot line. However, the
maximum fence height allowed between two residential properties is 5-feet; therefore the proposed fence will
have to be modified to comply with the 5-foot height limitation.
Engineering - The Petitioner submitted preliminary storm water detention plans as part of their initial submittal.
However, the site is eligible to participate in the Village's 'fee in lieu of program (Sec. 16.606). The Petitioner is
required to prepare site engineering plans as part of the Building permit process and Staff will review the plans at
that time to confirm code compliance.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The property is located along a collector street and it is adjacent to an apartment complex, townhomes, and single
family residences. The recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the subject properties as
Multi-family Residential, which allows for the R4 zoning district.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously noted, the proposal does not comply with the R4 Bulk Regulations. The following table provides
zoning district information for the property's proposed zoning classification and summarizes the proposed
setbacks.

--
The standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a
Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence
presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the following matters:
· The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
· The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
· The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
· Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
The Subject Property is adjacent to an existing townhome development, a multi-family apartment building, and
across the street from single-family residences. It would be consistent with recent developments approved in the
Village and it would be an appropriate use for the Subject Property. The proposal meets the standards for a Map
Amendment because it is compatible with existing properties within the general area of the Subject Property.
PZ-15-07 .
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28, 2007

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The standards for approving a Planned Unit Development are listed in Section 14.504 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance. The section contains specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Planned Unit
Development. These standards relate to:
. The proposed development complies with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be
located;
. The principal use in the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the recommendations of
the comprehensive plan of the village for the area containing the subject site;
. That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes. of
this zoning ordinance.
. That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
The proposal is consistent with the recently updated Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map. Also, the row
homes are in keeping with previously approved redevelopment projects in the downtown area of the Village.
Although the proposal does not comply with the R4 Zoning District regulations, the project location is in close
proximity to the B5 District and the proposal has similar setbacks as other recently approved row home
developments. However, it is unclear how the project creates a public benefit as noted in Sec. 14.501.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Map Amendment and Conditional Use requests meet the standards for each request as listed in the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion:
"To approve:
1) a Map Amendment to rezone the property from II Limited Industrial to R4 Multi-family Residence;
2) a Conditional Use permit for a 12-unit row home Planned Unit Development subject to the following:
A. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall:
a. prepare and submit a turning radius plan;
b. update the Site Plan to note the actual alley width;
c. identify the public benefit as noted in Sec. 14.501;
B. Variation approval to allow:
. 12' Front Yard
. 8' Interior Yard
. 10' Exterior Yard
. 9' Rear Yard
. 22' Drive Aisle
. 36'4":!: Building Height

F. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the Petitioner shall submit a lighting plan that complies with
the Village's lighting regulations for the lighting within the development;
G. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit homeowner's
association documents for Staff review and approval that include text stating on-street over night
parking is prohibited; and
H. The Petitioner shall construct all units according to all Village Codes and regulations, including, but
not limited to: the installation of automatic fire sprinklers, fire hydrants and roads must be located and
constructed according to Development and Fire Code standards."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case, 701 E. Prospect Avenue, Case No. PZ-15-07.

TOTAL NET AREA: 40,486.9 sa. FT.
COMMONLY KNOWN AS: 701 PROSPECT AVENUE, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS
Describe the Justification for the Proposed Map Amendment
The present 11 zoning no longer remains viable due to the nature and requirements of modern
industrial facilities and no longer meets the following objectives as outlined by the Village of Mount
Propect Comprehensive Plan (pages 8, 9, 11):
· Orderly expansion of existing industrial area would be prohibited due to surrounding
zoning and existing residential developments
· The existing parcel does not necessarily exist in a concentrated area of similar or
compatible use
· Continued industrial use would potentially negatively impact neighboring land uses
· The existing parcel does not necessarily exist near major transportation facilities
· Not located in the village's identified desirable southwestern industrial area as outlined in
the comprehensive plan
An R4 change will be consistent with the surrounding existing zoning as the site is encompassed
by B5 zoning from the North, R3 zoning from the South, R1 zoning from the East, and R4 from the
West.
Describe in Detail the Buildings and Activities Proposed
The proposed three buildings shall be residential in nature. Each building shall be two and a half
stories in height and composed of residential"row-homes" each separated by code required fire
walls. Of the three buildings, the one along Prospect Avenue shall contain six row-homes, the
building along Edward Street shall contain five row-homes, and the building running within the
parcel along the alley shall contain four row-homes. In total among the three buildings there will be
fifteen row-homes. The activities shall be typical of a residential use.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JULY 13, 2007
SUBJECT:
PZ-16-07 - 1) REZONE FROM RX SINGLE F AMIL Y TO R2 A IT ACHED INGLE
F AMIL Y, 2) CONDITIONAL USE FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
401 E. KENSINGTON ROAD
TERRA ARCHITECTS, INC. - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to deny Case PZ-16-07, a request to 1)
rezone the Subject Property from RX Single Family to R2 Attached Single Family, and 2) approval of a
Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning
& Zoning Commission heard the request at the June 28, 2007 meeting.
The Subject Property is located on the south side of Kensington Road, between Rand Road and Wilshire Drive,
and currently contains a vacant single family residence with related improvements. The Petitioner's proposal
includes the demolition of the existing house and the redevelopment of the site as an II-unit townhome
development. The development would consist of (2) clusters of townhomes: one cluster would have 6 units and
the second cluster would have 5 units. Each of the townhome units would have a separate entrance, a front-
loading two-car garage, and a two-car driveway. The proposed townhome site plan indicates that the western
access point for the townhomes would extend to the adjacent lot of record, and the driveway would be located on
the adjacent lot. Therefore, a cross access agreement and easement is required to ensure perpetual access for the
proposed townhome development.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the request at length. They noted that the property owner cut
down almost all of the trees before submitting redevelopment plans, which was unfortunate since some of the
trees could have been saved. There was discussion about the front loading garages, and how the Kensington Road
elevation would be garage doors and the nicer elevation would face away from the road.
Several residents addressed the Commission and stated concerns that the trees were removed improperly and the
project should include additional landscaping; drainage/water ponding is currently a problem for some properties
and they questioned whether the townhome development would make the situation worse; and there was
discussion about ownership of the property, and how the adjacent property would be developed now that the
Conditional Use approval for the Taiwanese Community Center had expired.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board deny 1) a Map Amendment
to rezone the property from RX Single Family to R2 Attached Single Family; and 2) a Conditional Use permit for
an II-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Report, for the
property located at 401 E. Kensington Road, Case No. PZ-16-07, but the conditions modified to include:

at least 50% more landscaping than is required by Village Code along the Kensington Road
frontage and includes year-round materials,
Prior to Village Board review, the Property Owner shall pay all outstanding property
maintenance fines and provide proof that the site will be maintained on a consistent basis.
2)
The Petitioner is in the process of finalizing the Public Benefit, and it will be determined prior to Village Board
review. Since the case is going to the Village Board with a negative recommendation, a super majority is required
to approve the project. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review
and consideration at their July 17, 2007 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this
matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. After
hearing seven previous Cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-16-07, a request for Rezoning from RX to
R2 Attached Single Family and a Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development at 401 East Kensington Road,
at 9:28 p.m.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Property is located on the south side of Kensington Road,
between Rand Road and Wilshire Drive, and currently contains a vacant single family residence with related
improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family and is bordered by the B3 Community Shopping
District to the west and north, and by the Rl Single Family District to the south and east.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's proposal includes the demolition of the existing building and the
redevelopment of the site as an II-unit townhome development. The Subject Property is currently zoned RX
Single Family, and the Petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the Subject Property to R2 Attached Single
Family. The R2 district allows a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre for multi-family developments.
The Petitioner's proposal includes a density of 5.5 units per acre, which falls below the maximum density
permitted within the R2 District.
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-I6-07
Page 2
Ms. Connolly stated that in addition to the requested rezoning, the Petitioner is also requesting approval of a
Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the townhome development. This request is
due to the Village Code's requirement that two or more multi-family residential buildings may be located on the
same zoning lot only as part of an approved PUD. She said the PUD process also allows for unified zoning
control over the entire development, which would require formal Village approval if any modifications to the
development are proposed in the future.
Ms. Connolly showed a site plan illustrating the proposed layout for the II-unit townhome development. The
development would consist of two clusters of townhomes: one cluster would have 6 units and the second cluster
would have 5 units. Each of the townhome units would have a separate entrance, a front-loading two-car garage,
and a two-car driveway. The units would be setback approximately 77-feet from the Kensington Road lot line.
She said a 24-foot wide drive aisle would run parallel to Kensington Road, in front of the units, and there would
be two driveways/access points from Kensington Road; a right-in, right-out for the eastern drive and full access
for the western drive.
Ms. Connolly stated that the lot west of the Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is intended to
retain its B3 zoning designation. The Village Board granted a Conditional Use permit to operate a Community
Center for the lot west of the Subject Property. However, the facility was not built and the Conditional Use
permit has since expired. She said the proposed townhome site plan indicates that the western access point for the
townhomes would extend to the adjacent lot of record, and the driveway would be located on the adjacent lot.
Therefore, a cross access agreement is required to ensure perpetual access for the proposed townhome
development. Also, Staff recommends that the road and driveway on the adjacent lot to the west be configured
and installed to accommodate vehicles from the anticipated drive aisle from the south.
Ms. Connolly showed a table listing the Bulk Regulations for the R2 District and the table showed that the units
comply with the R2 Bulk Regulations, but the guest parking spaces encroach into the required front yard. The
Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.5% lot coverage, which is below the
50% limitation. The project is subject to all development requirements as detailed in Section 15.402 of the
Village Code, which includes, but is not limited to providing storm water detention and street lights, if applicable.
She then showed elevations indicating the architectural composition of the townhomes. The units are 2-stories
tall, measure approximately 25-feet wide, and have 2-car front loading garages. The building materials for the
exterior elevations consist of stone, brick and stucco for the second story. The units include an unfinished
basement and a IO-foot x IO-foot deck located along the rear elevation ofthe building.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's proposal indicates that each unit would include 3 bedrooms on the second floor
plus a den on the first floor. The Village Code requires 2 Yz parking spaces per dwelling unit. The Petitioner's
proposal contains a 2-car garage plus two driveway parking spaces per unit. In addition, the Petitioner's plans
indicate 11 guest parking spaces are available on-site.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of shrubs, shade and evergreen trees will
be planted along the perimeter of the Subject Property and the foundation of the buildings. The landscape plan
indicates that deciduous shrubs and a IO-foot wide band of evergreen shrubs will be planted along the Kensington
Road frontage to screen the guest parking. Since the garages also face Kensington Road, efforts must be made to
screen the garages and enhance the view from the road; she said Staff recommends the landscape plan be
modified accordingly. Also, any shrubs planted along the public sidewalk should be no taller than 36-inches,
including berm height, to avoid creating sight obstructions for vehicles exiting onto Kensington Road. She said
the plan indicates that a fence would be installed along the south and east lot line, but not along the west lot line.
However, the fence material and height are not noted. The maximum fence height allowed between residential
properties is 5-feet and the proposed fence would need to comply with the 5-foot height limitation. Staff suggests
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-16-07
Page 3
extending the fence along the west lot line, up to the front setback of the unit to screen the development from the
adjacent driveway.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner has submitted preliminary storm water detention plans and is working with
the Village Engineer to arrive at a design that will comply with Village Code regulations. A final design is
typically submitted as part of the Building Permit process, and this issue shall be addressed prior to permit
submittal. It should be stressed that the proposed development will be subject to all development requirements, as
detailed in Section 15.402 of the Village Code.
Ms. Connolly said the property is located along an arterial street and it is adjacent to single family residences and
commercial properties. The recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the Subject Property as
Single Family Residential Development and allows for the R2 Zoning District. Ms. Connolly said, as previously
noted, the proposal does not comply with the R2 Bulk Regulations because the guest parking encroaches into the
front setback. She showed a table providing zoning district information for the property's proposed zoning
classification and summarized the proposed setbacks.
Ms. Connolly stated that the standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village
Zoning Ordinance. When a Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make
findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the
following matters:
. The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
. The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
. Consistency with the trend of development in the general area ofthe property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
Ms. Connolly said the Subject Property is adjacent to existing single family residential and commercial properties,
and is across the street from the Randhurst Shopping Center. The proposed townhomes would be consistent with
recent in-fill developments approved in the Village and it would be an appropriate transitional use for the Subject
Property. The proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is compatible with existing
properties within the general area of the Subject Property.
Ms. Connolly stated that the standards for approving a Planned Unit Development are listed in Section 14.504 of
the Village Zoning Ordinance. The section contains specific findings that must be made in order to approve a
Planned Unit Development. These standards relate to:
. The proposed development complies with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be
located;
. The principal use in the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the recommendations of
the comprehensive plan ofthe village for the area containing the subject site;
. That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of
this zoning ordinance.
. That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-16-07
Page 4
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
Ms. Connolly said the proposal is consistent with the recently updated Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map.
Also, the townhomes are in keeping with other previously approved townhome projects in the Village. Although
the proposal does not comply with the R2 Zoning District regulations because the guest parking encroaches into
the required front setback, the project location is in close proximity to commercial properties and the parking
setback would have minimal impact on the adjacent properties when screened appropriately. However, it is
unclear how the project creates a public benefit as noted in Section 14.501 of the Village Code.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposed Map Amendment and Conditional Use requests meet the standards for each
request as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning
Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve:
1) a Map Amendment to rezone the property from RX Single Family to R2 Attached Single Family;
2) a Conditional Use permit for an II-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the following:
A. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall identify the public benefit as noted in Section
14.501;
B. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall prepare elevations that specifies the building
materials and documents the townhomes comply with the Village's 28-foot height limitation;
C. Approving a Variation to permit a 10-foot front setback for the guest parking spaces;
D. Development of the site and floor plans in general conformance with the plans prepared by Terra
Architects revision date June 1, 2007 but revised to include a 20-foot wide fire lane/no parking in the
drive aisle requirement;
E. Development of the elevations in general conformance with the exhibits prepared by Terra Architects
revision date June 1, 2007;
F. Development of the site in general conformance with the landscape plan prepared by Pamela Self,
revision date May 30, 2007, but revised to include materials that screen the garages and enhance the
view from the road;
G. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the Petitioner shall submit a plat of dedication that dedicates
an additionalI7-foot of right of way (ROW) to provide a fulll00-foot ROW for Kensington Road;
H. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the Petitioner shall submit a lighting plan that complies with
the Village's lighting regulations for the lighting within the development and includes low level
lighting and 4' fixtures for the areas adjacent to the guest parking;
I. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit homeowner's
association documents for Staff review and approval;
J. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit a cross access
agreement and plat of easement to ensure perpetual access to/from the western driveway;
K. The Petitioner shall construct all units according to all Village Codes and regulations, including, but
not limited to: the installation of automatic fire sprinklers, fire hydrants and roads must be located and

L. Prior to Village Board review, the Property Owner shall pay all outstanding property maintenance
fines and provide proofthat the site will be maintained on a consistent basis."

Ms. Connolly said the Village Board's decision is final for this case, 401 E. Kensington Road, Case Number PZ-
16-07.
Chairman Rogers stated that the parking is in the front yard and asked if the road is in the front yard as well. Ms.
Connolly stated that a drive aisle is a permitted encroachment. Chairman Rogers also stated that if the guest
spaces were done with parallel parking, they could be located 20-feet off the front lot line versus 10-feet. There
was general discussion regarding the different parking configuration.
Chairman Rogers swore in Bill Schneider of Terra Architects at 14044 Petronella Lane, Libertyville, Illinois. Mr.
Schneider thanked Staff for their comprehensive report. He summarized the project and stated that this is an 11-
unit project, reduced from the original request for a 15-unit project. He stated that the required standards in the
Village Code for each request have been met. He stated that he did not interpret the public benefit requirement, as
listed in Section 14.501 to be a developer donation. He said he feels Terra Development meets this requirement
by providing sidewalks and landscape improvements to a dilapidated property. He also stated they are required to
make a Village Donation under Code Section 15.807 of$1350 per unit for a total of $29,700.
Chairman Rogers swore in David Block of Terra Architects at 14044 Petronella Lane, Libertyville, Illinois. He
stated the project consists of 11 units in two clusters. He said the easement to the west will remain as-is and they
will be obtaining perpetual easement to the Subject Property. He stated the project is under the maximum lot
coverage requirement. He agreed to extend the fence along west property line, that preliminary engineering has
been completed, and they agree to the requirements in the staff report. He said they prepared a landscape plan and
that it was developed per the required screening requirements listed in the Village Code.
Chairman Rogers swore in Pamela Self, Landscape Architect of 1 Ann Court, Hawthorne Woods, Illinois. Ms.
Self gave a brief summary of the proposed landscape plan, stating that it will soften the appearance of the
development. Chairman Rogers asked where the planting bed will be located. Ms. Self said the continuous
planting bed is 10 to 12-feet wide and contains several large trees within this same planting line. Chairman Rogers
stated that it is unfortunate the garages face Kensington Road and he would like to see additional screening to
soften the vast elevation. Ms. Self showed elevations with the mature landscaping in place, providing screening
from the road. There was general discussion regarding the types of landscaping material that could be used. Ms.
Self showed additional elevations of the foundation and perimeter landscaping. She stated that the plan exceeds
the Village's requirements for landscaping and believes it has succeeded in softening the architecture of the
development.
Mr. Block provided an overview of the architecture and building materials for the project. He stated the building
height is in compliance with Village Code. He showed exhibits depicting the floor plans of the available units.
He stated there are 5 parking spaces per unit: two in the garage, two in the parking pad, and one guest space per
unit.
Ronald Roberts asked if there were elevation views of what the residential neighbors to the south would see. Mr.
Block showed an elevation without the fence in place. He stated he could develop a rendering and get it to the
Commissioners. He also stated they are adding more landscaping that what is required by Village Code. Ms. Self
stated the proposed trees and shrubbery will provide 100% screening at maturity.
Chairman Rogers asked how long the owner has owned the property. Mr. Block stated that it has been less than
one year. Chairman Rogers stated that there were several mature trees on this lot that were taken down and he
appreciates the fact that they are adding several trees back to the property. He said he would like to see more
landscaping added to the Kensington Road frontage to screen the vast expanse of garage doors.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007

Chairman Rogers swore in Fred Biermann of 410 Garwood, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Biermann stated that
his wife's family had owned the Subject Property since 1866. He gave a brief history of the Subject Property and
stated that the sale of the Subject Property to Dr. Hsu ended a long family history with this land. Mr. Biermann
stated that the application listed Dr. Robert Hsu as the owner of the Subject Property, but wanted to point out that
at the closing of the property, the owner was listed as the Taiwanese-American Cultural Center.
Mr. Biermann stated that he had no concerns with the proposed development until he reviewed the landscaping
plans. He said he is not happy with the location of the detention area. He would prefer to see that located more to
the west closer to the commercial properties, rather than directly behind their house. He asked if the detention
area will be an open pond or if it will be underground, and asked if it would drain to Kensington Road.
Chairman Rogers swore in Steve Polit of 601 North Wilshire Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. He thanked the
Commission for their time and listening to the residents. Mr. Polit stated that this project requires a lot of "Tender
Loving Care" because this project has not had much "TLC" when the 80+ mature trees on the property were taken
down without regard for the future land use. He stated that he does not believe the traffic study is accurate; it still
states there are 15 townhomes, that the residential numbers are artificially low, and the west side access point does
not address the future use of that property. He said there is no information regarding the traffic on the eastern side
of the property. He stated that he feels the project does not provide for public safety in regard to traffic issues.
Mr. Polit said that over 65 mature trees were taken off the site and the owner needs to take steps to return the site
to the previous condition. He said he feels the Petitioner, not the Village, should have to provide the parkway
trees, as retribution for the dozens of mature trees he had removed from the property. Mr. Polit stated that he has
concerns with water drainage from the site. He said the residents do not know ifthe water that currently runs into
the 2 acre site will continue to do so. He did commend the architects on the project designs and appreciates that
the elevations that face the single family residences are beautiful.
Chairman Rogers swore in Paul Stonis of 606 North Windsor Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Stonis asked if
the small western portion of the site is rezoned, but not developed at this time, what will be the future of that
property. He asked what the possibility of something less desirable than the Cultural Center going in would be.
He stated that the Petitioner took down several mature trees on his property at the time he cleared the site, with
the promise that landscaping improvements were made when the site was developed. He wants to know what
would be allowed on that site in the future. Chairman Rogers said there is nothing currently planned, but the
redevelopment would need to come before the Commission for approval if the proposal was not a permitted use.
Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner to address concerns raised tonight. In regards to water detention, Mr. Block
stated that the on-site detention will be more than adequate for the largest rains and they have very capable
detention facilities planned for this property. In addressing the traffic concerns, Mr. Block stated that KLOA
conducted the traffic study and they are more than capable in providing traffic information. He said the proposed
easement will be designed to be extended to the southern properties in the future; however he cannot speak to the
future use of this parcel.
Chairman Rogers asked if Dr. Hsu is the owner of the property. Mr. Block stated that he cannot speak for Dr.
Hsu, but indicated that Dr. Hsu works with many LLCs. Ms. Connolly stated that the Village transfer stamp
record does show Dr. Robert Hsu as the owner of 40 1 East Kensington.
Chairman Rogers asked if there is an Ordinance in place regarding the removal of the trees from the Property.
Ms. Connolly replied the Subject Property is zoned as residential and tree removal is allowed without a permit.
Chairman Rogers asked if Dr. Hsu, as owner, was responsible for the authorization of the tree removal. Mr.
Schneider stated to the best of his knowledge, Dr. Hsu did authorize the tree removal. Chairman Rogers stated he
would like to add an additional landscape requirement to this site to account for the mature trees that were
removed. He said he would like to require larger trees for replacement; a 4" diameter tree versus the 2.5"
diameter requirement. Ms. Self said she would need concession for oak trees as they are not available in sizes
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-16-07
Page 7
over 3". Mr. Rogers said for oak trees, he could accept the 2.5" requirement, but for all other trees would like to
require the 4" diameter tree. He would also like to require landscaping 50% over the Code requirement. Mr.
Schneider stated that the Petitioner will be paying for the parkway trees, but the Village takes care of the
installation of those trees.
Mr. Polit stated he understands that the water that generates on the Petitioner's property must be dealt with by the
Petitioner; however he is concerned with the water that flows through the project, particularly during construction.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments. Hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed at
10:32 p.m.
Mary McCabe made a motion to approve a request for Rezoning from RX to R2 Attached Single Family and a
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development at 401 East Kensington Road, Case Number PZ-16-07, with the
additional conditions presented this evening. Leo Floros seconded the motion.
Mr. Floros stated that he does not support this proposal until Dr. Hsu speaks to the Case. He said there are several
unanswered questions that Dr. Hsu needs to address.
Mr. Roberts stated that he does not like seeing the zoning changing from single family to a higher density district.
Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development, stated that there is currently a $1,000 fee levied on
the property for grass mowing and the project cannot go before the Village Board until the fees are paid.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: None
NA YS: Floros, Haaland, McCabe, Roberts, Rogers
Motion was disapproved 5-0.
After hearing two additional cases, Ronald Roberts made a motion to adjourn at II :04 p.m., seconded by Mary

Village of Mount Prospect

TO: MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: JUDY CONNOLLY, AICP, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: JUNE 21, 2007
HEARING DATE: JUNE 28, 2007
SUBJECT: PZ-I6-07 - MAP AMENDMENT & CONDITIONAL USE (PUD TOWNHOME
DEVELOPMENT)
401 E. KENSINGTON ROAD - TERRA ARCHITECTS, INC. (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 28, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by Terra Architects (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 401 E. Kensington Road (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking: 1) to rezone the Subject Property from RX Single Family to R2
Attached Single Family, and 2) approval of a Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development. The P&Z
Commission hearing was properly noticed in the May 9, 2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In
addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public
Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the south side of Kensington Road, between Rand Road and Wilshire Drive,
and currently contains a vacant single family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned
RX Single Family and is bordered by the B3 Community Shopping District to the west and north (across
Kensington Road), and by the RI Single Family District to the south and east.
SUMMARY
The Petitioner's proposal includes the demolition of the existing building and the redevelopment of the site as an
II-unit townhome development. The various elements of the proposal are outlined below:
Rezoning Request - As noted previously, the Subject Property is currently zoned RX Single Family, and the
Petitioner is requesting approval to rezone the Subject Property to R2 Attached Single Family. The R2 district
allows a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre for multi-family developments. The Petitioner's
proposal includes a density of 5.5 units per acre (II ullitsll.97 acres), which falls below the maximum density
permitted within the R2 District.
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development - In addition to the requested rezoning, the Petitioner is also
requesting approval of a Conditional Use permit for a Planned Unit Development for the townhome development.
This request is due to the Village Code's requirement that two or more multi-family residential buildings may be
located on the same zoning lot only as part of an approved planned unit development (PUD). The PUD process
PZ-I6-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28, 2007
Page 3
also allows for unified zoning control over the entire development, which would require formal Village approval
if any modifications to the development are proposed in the future.
Site Plan - The attached site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the II-unit townhome development. The
development would consist of (2) clusters of townhomes: one cluster would have 6 units and the second cluster
would have 5 units. Each of the townhome units would have a separate entrance, a front-loading two-car garage,
and a two-car driveway. The units would be setback approximately 77-feet from the Kensington Road (front) lot
line. A 24-foot wide drive aisle would run parallel to Kensington Road, in front of the units, and there would be
two driveways/access points from Kensington Road; a right-in, right-out for the eastern drive and full access for
the western drive.
The lot west of the Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is intended to retain its B3 zoning
designation. The Village Board granted a Conditional Use permit to operate a Community Center for the lot west
of the Subject Property. However, the facility was not built and the Conditional Use permit has since expired.
The proposed townhome site plan indicates that the western access point for the townhomes would extend to the
adjacent lot of record, and the driveway would be located on the adjacent lot. Therefore, a cross access agreement
and easement is required to ensure perpetual access for the proposed townhome development. Also, Staff
recommends that the road and driveway on the adjacent lot to the west be configured and installed to
accommodate vehicles from the anticipated drive aisle from the south (300 E. Rand Road).
The following table lists the Bulk Regulations for the R2 District and shows that the units comply with the R2
Bulk Regulations, but the guest parking encroaches into the required front yard.
R2 Re uirements
30 feet
25 feet buildin /15' deck
50% limit
Building Design - The enclosed elevations indicate the architectural composition ofthe townhomes. The units are
2-stories tall, measure approximately 25' wide, and have 2-car front loading garages. The building materials for
the exterior elevations will consist of stone, brick and stucco for the second story. The units include an unfinished
basement and a lO'xIO' deck located along the rear elevation of the building.
Parking - The Petitioner's proposal indicates that each unit would include 3 bedrooms on the second floor plus a
den on the first floor. The Village Code requires 2 Y2 parking spaces per dwelling unit (for multiple-family
dwellings containing 3 bedrooms or more). The Petitioner's proposal contains a 2-car garage plus two driveway
parking spaces per unit. In addition, the Petitioner's plans indicate 12 guest parking spaces are available on-site.
Lot Coverage - The Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.5% lot coverage,
which is below the 50% limitation. The project is subject to all development requirements as detailed in Sec.
15.402 of the Village Code, which include but is not limited to providing storm water detention and street lights,
if applicable.
Landscape Plan - The Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of shrubs, shade and evergreen trees will
be planted along the perimeter of the Subject Property and the foundation of the buildings. The landscape plan
indicates that deciduous shrubs and a 10-foot wide band of evergreen shrubs will be planted along the Kensington
Road frontage to screen the guest parking. However, since the garages also face Kensington Road, efforts must
be made to screen the garages and enhance the view from the road; Staff recommends the landscape plan be
modified accordingly. Also, any shrubs planted along the public sidewalk should be no taller than 36" (including
berm height) to avoid creating sight obstructions for vehicles exiting onto Kensington Road.
PZ-16-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28,2007
Page 4
The plan indicates that a fence would be installed along the south and east lot line, but not along the west lot line.
However, the fence material and height are not noted. The maximum fence height allowed between residential
properties is 5-feet and the proposed fence shall comply with the 5-foot height limitation. Staff suggests
extending the fence along the west lot line, up to the front setback of the unit to screen the development from the
adjacent driveway.
Preliminary Engineering - The Petitioner has submitted preliminary storm water detention plans and is working
with the Village Engineer to arrive at a design that will comply with Village Code regulations. The proposed
water main and sanitary main and services will be reviewed by the Department of Public Works. Based upon the
preliminary design, it seems likely that these mains will be publicly owned, but privately maintained, in which
case easements would have to be granted to the Village. Regardless of ownership of the water main, the main
appears to be too close to the westernmost unit as shown on the originally submitted engineering arid grading
plan. A final design is typically submitted as part of the Building Permit process, and this issue shall be addressed
prior to permit submittal. It should be stressed that the proposed development will be subject to all development
requirements, as detailed in Section 15.402 of the Village Code.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The property is located along an arterial street and it is adjacent to single family residences and commercial
properties. The recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the Subject Property as Single Family
Residential Development and allows for the R2 Zoning District.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously noted, the proposal does not comply with the R2 Bulk Regulations because the guest parking
encroaches into the front setback. The following table provides zoning district information for the property's
proposed zoning classification and summarizes the proposed setbacks.

MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS
The standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a
Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence
presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the following matters:
· The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
· The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
PZ-16-07
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 28,2007
Page 5
. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
. Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
The Subject Property is adjacent to existing single family residential and commercial properties, and is across the
street from the Randhurst Shopping Center. The proposed townhomes would be consistent with recent in-fill
developments approved in the Village and it would be an appropriate transitional use for the Subject Property.
The proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is compatible with existing properties within
the general area of the Subject Property.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The standards for approving a Planned Unit Development are listed in Section 14.504 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance. The section contains specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Planned Unit
Development. These standards relate to:
. The proposed development complies with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be
located;
. The principal use in the proposed planned unit development is consistent with the recommendations of
the comprehensive plan of the village for the area containing the subject site;
. That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of
this zoning ordinance.
. That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
The proposal is consistent with the recently updated Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map. Also, the
townhomes are in keeping with other previously approved townhome projects in the Village. Although the
proposal does not comply with the R2 Zoning District regulations because the guest parking encroaches into the
required front setback, the project location is in close proximity to commercial properties and the parking setback
would have minimal impact on the adjacent properties when screened appropriately. However, it is unclear how
the project creates a public benefit as noted in Sec. 14.501 ofthe Village Code.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Map Amendment and Conditional Use requests meet the standards for each request as listed in the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion:
"To approve:
1) a Map Amendment to rezone the property from RX Single Family to R2 Attached Single Family;
2) a Conditional Use permit for an II-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the following:
A. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall identify the public benefit as noted in Sec. 14.501;
B. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall prepare elevations that specifies the building
materials and documents the townhomes comply with the Village's 28' height limitation;

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
'Be:.. M~
fl/11101
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JUNE 15,2007
SUBJECT:
PZ-23-07: TEXT AMENDMENTS (OUTDOOR DINING)
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation for a text amendment to toning
Ordinance, Case PZ-23-07, to modify sections of the Village Code pertaining to outdoor dining, described in
detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at the June 28, 2007
meeting.
Currently the Village of Mount Prospect's regulations permit outdoor dining on both public and private property.
This amendment proposes a change to Section 14.311 which would require outdoor dining permits for areas
within the public right-ofway only, and not on private property.
No changes are being proposed to the standards which allow for outdoor dining, the only change is whether or not
a permit is required. These standards require that outdoor dining does not encroach on neighbors, the dining area
is aesthetically pleasing, noise is not a nuisance to others, all local and state codes are met, and the public's health,
safety, and welfare are maintained. Also continuing is the requirement that outdoor dining on public property will
be allowed by permit, with the application reviewed by the Community Development Department, proof of
insurance will be submitted, and the permittee will acknowledge and assume responsibility for any damage to
public property.
All outdoor dining operations, whether on public or private property will continue to be inspected by the Village
Health Division staff on an annual basis to insure they comply with all sections of the Village Code. If a liquor
licensee wishes to serve or permit the consumption of liquor in an outdoor dining area, he must first contact the
Village Manager's Office to determine whether he needs to obtain a special permit from the Local Liquor Control
Commissioner (Section 13.117 requires permission if the outdoor dining area is within 300' from any property
zoned residential).
The Planning and Zoning Commission briefly discussed the proposal and found that it would benefit the
businesses by streamlining the outdoor dining process, but outdoor dining would continue to operate in a safe
manner. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the text
amendment as outlined for case PZ-23-07 which would only require a permit for outdoor dining on the public
right of way. Outdoor dining on private property would be allowed if the outdoor dining area is in conformance
with all sections of the Village Code.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17,2007 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. After
hearing eight previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-23-07, a request for a Text Amendment at
10:32 p.m.
Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development stated that the purpose of the text amendment is to
change Section 14.3 II of the Zoning Code to require permits for Outdoor Dining only on Public Right Of Way
and to no longer require them when on private property. The text amendment was properly noticed in the June
13,2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper.
Ms. Divita said the Village of Mount Prospect's regulations permit outdoor dining on both public and private
property. This amendment proposes a change to Section 14.311 which would require outdoor dining permits for
areas within the public right-of-way only, and not on private property. Despite this proposed amendment, all
outdoor dining operations, whether on public or private property will be inspected by the Village Health Division
staff on an annual basis to insure they comply with all sections of the Village Code. If a liquor licensee wishes to
serve or permit the consumption of liquor in an outdoor dining area, he must first contact the Village Manager's
Office to determine whether he needs to obtain a special permit from the Local Liquor Control Commissioner
(Section 13.117 requires permission if the outdoor dining area is within 300-feet from any property zoned
residential).
Ms. Divita said the only text change is outdoor dining on private property no longer requires an annual
application. All outdoor dining, whether on public or private property must still comply with these current
requirements:
· Annual inspections by Village Health Department
· Alcoholic beverages subject to all requirements of chapter 13
.Outdoor dining with liquor requires special permit from Liquor Commissioner if within 300' from any
property zoned residential (Section 13.117)

-Dining will be on the same zoning lot as the restaurant, not encroaching on neighbors
-Cannot be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of nearby residents or persons working or shopping in
the vicinity
-Must meet all applicable village and state health requirements
-Barricades, landscaping will be used to define the area and enhance aesthetic appeal
-Outdoor Dining will not extend before 6:00 A.M. or later than 11 :00 P.M. and no music or noise will be
audible on adjacent properties
-Furniture must be of materials and colors in harmony with the principal and adjacent structures, of sturdy
construction designed to withstand a minimum wind pressure of not less than 30 pounds per square inch, and
easily removable during winter months and/or if required
- Adjacent walkways and sidewalks must be a minimum of 5 feet wide
- Adequate refuse disposal must be provided for
-May be revoked at any time on 14 days notice for failure to comply
-Exempt from applicable parking requirements. If needed, must provide for off-site parking on nearby
nonresidential properties.
- Advertising or promotional features limited to umbrellas or canopies.
Ms. Divita stated that in addition to the above requirements, Outdoor Dining on public property still must submit
an annual application, proof of insurance, and accept responsibility for any damage to the public right of way.
The application should include a site plan, proposed hours of operation, construction/appearance of all furniture,
and provisions for refuse disposal. The insurance certificate must be for $1,000,000 general liability insurance
and $30,000 of dramshop insurance. The Village must be named as an additional insured against liability
resulting from dining permit.
Ms. Divita said the permittee would submit a written statement acknowledging responsibility and agreeing to
maintain the sidewalk and keep it free of obstructions, to comply with all Village and State codes, and to restore
public sidewalk to original state when operation of dining area ceases.
Ms. Divita said Section 14.203.D.8.b of the Village Code lists standards for the P&Z to consider for text
amendments to the Zoning Code. These standards relate to:
- The general applicability ofthe amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
- Consistency of the amendment with objectives ofthe Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan;
- The degree to which the amendment would create non-conformity;
- The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive; and
- Consistency ofthe amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
Ms. Divita stated that the proposal to amend the Village's existing outdoor dining regulations would be applicable
on a community-wide basis and would be consistent with the Village's previous requirements, maintaining health
and safety on the public right of way.
Ms. Divita said the proposed text amendment meets the standards contained in Section 14.203.D.8.b of the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion:
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-23-07
Page 3
"To approve the text amendments as outlined above for case PZ-23-07 which would only require
a permit for outdoor dining on the Public Right of Way. Outdoor dining on private property
would be allowed if the outdoor dining area is in conformance with all sections of the Village
Code. "
She stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Rogers asked if we are seeing more applications for outdoor dining. Ms. Divita confirmed that the
Village continues to receive several applications each year. There was general discussion regarding the
establishments in the Village that currently have outdoor dining. Chairman Rogers asked if the purpose of this
Text Amendment is to insure safe Outdoor Dining on Public Property. Ms. Divita stated the current ordinance
already does this, the purpose of this Text Amendment is to drop the application and insurance requirement for
Outdoor Dining on private property.
There was general discussion regarding Public Right of Way versus private property. Ms. Divita said the public
Right of Way is generally the area between the sidewalk and the street. Downtown zoning has a zero-lot line
requirement for the front yard and these buildings are often right up to the sidewalk.
Marlys Haaland made a motion to approve the Text Amendment, as presented, for PZ-23-07. Leo Floros
seconded the motion.

Motion was approved 5-0.
After hearing one additional case, Ronald Roberts made a motion to adjourn at II :04 p.m., seconded by Mary
McCabe. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JULY 2, 2007
SUBJECT:
PZ-24-07: TEXT AMENDMENT (REVIEW PROCESS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
CONDITIONAL USE - UNENCLOSED PORCH OBSTRUCTION IN REQUIRED
FRONT YARD SETBACK)
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation for a text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, Case PZ-24-07, to modify sections of the Village Code pertaining to front porches, described in detail
in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at the June 28, 2007 meeting.
Village regulations (Section 14.202.BA) allow for the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve a conditional
use permit for unenclosed front porches that encroach up to five (5) feet in the required front yard setback. Such
porches were first allowed in 2001, and in 2004 the Village Board allowed the P&Z Commission's decision to be
final. Zoning approval was shortened to 30 to 60 days; after P&Z approval, the applicant may apply for a
building permit. Since 2004, twenty (20) Conditional Use applications for unenclosed porches have been
received and all approved. Staff reviews these applications to determine if quality materials are being used and
whether the design blended with the existing house and neighboring houses, and to confirm that the encroachment
would not create a sight obstruction. Further streamlining was first discussed at an April 10, 2007 Committee of
the Whole Meeting of the Village Board and at an April 26, 2007 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Staff has met with the Village Attorney to identify this proposed process. Currently "Administrative Hearings"
are used for the Director of Community Development to consider "Minor Variations." A front porch within the
required front yard setback cannot however be considered a variation because virtually all homes in the Village
are set back thirty feet from the front property line so this is not a unique situation. Front porches are currently
considered a "Conditional Use" because they may present an impact upon adjoining properties or the
neighborhood in general. Currently Conditional Use approval may only be granted by the Village Board, and in
the case of front porches, by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Village Attorney has advised to leave this system in tact and to create 14.316 as a special category to allow
administrative review of unenclosed front porches in the required front yard. This amendment proposes a notice
and review process similar to that used for a Minor Variation, yet with the standards of a Conditional Use. This
new process will be referred to as an "administrative conditional use" and follows:
o Requests would be reviewed by Staff for conformance to Standards including lack of site obstruction,
materials, design, and aesthetics.
o Notices would be mailed to neighbors within 100' ofthe Subject Property.
o A Public Hearing sign would be posted on the Subject Property.
o A Staff Report is prepared and presented at an open hearing.
o The approval process takes approximately 3 weeks and the Director of Community Development's
decision is final, but may be appealed to the P&Z.
PZ-24-07: TEXT AMENDMENT (REVIEW PROCESS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONDITIONAL USE
UNENCLOSED PORCH OBSTRUCTION IN REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK)
July 2, 2007
Page 2
These changes to Section 14 ofthe Zoning code are necessary to enact administrative review for these porches:
1. Permission for unenclosed front porches encroaching into the front yard as a conditional use would be
removed from the duties of the Planning & Zoning Commission.
2. Permission for unenclosed front porches encroaching into the front yard would be established as a duty of
the Director of Community Development subject to administrative review and hearing.
3. Section 14.203.F.2 would be amended to note that except for 14.316, the Planning and Zoning
Commission will convene hearings for conditional uses.
4. Section 14.316 would be created to treat unenclosed front porches encroaching into the front yard as a
separate entity. It would include standards, process for review and appeal.
The Planning and Zoning Commission noted that there has been an increase in the number of requests to construct
unenclosed porches over the years, and that the P&Z has approved all of the requests that have come before them.
There was minor discussion on how the review process would proceed if the porch was administratively denied:
that the Petitioner could appeal to the P&Z. The Commission commented that the proposed text amendment
would make the permit process more 'user-friendly'. The P&Z voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board
approve the text amendment for case PZ-24-07 which would allow administrative review of unenclosed porches
in the required front yard setback to encroach up to 5'.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17,2007 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. Marlys Haaland moved to approve the minutes
of the May 24, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. After
hearing nine previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-24-07, a request for a Text Amendment at
10:42p.m.
Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development stated that the Village of Mount Prospect regulations
(Section l4.202.BA) allow for the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve a conditional use permit for
unenclosed front porches that encroach up to five (5) feet in the required front yard setback. This amendment
proposes a change to allow unenclosed porches in the required front yard with "administrative review and
approval" from the Director of Community Development. Neighbors would still receive written notice of the
proposal with the date and time of the administrative hearing. Staff would continue the same level of review and
base recommendations on materials and design and safety concerns such as potential site obstructions.
Administrative review would reduce approval time and costs for our residents, and free up the Planning and
Zoning Commission agenda.
Ms. Divita said in 2001 the Village Board approved changes to the Village Code creating provisions for an
unenclosed porch to be constructed on an existing house in the required front yard. The approval process entailed
applying for a Conditional Use permit and limiting the encroachment to 5-feet into the required front yard, with
the condition that the porch remains unenclosed. The application was reviewed by Staff, then forwarded to the
then Zoning Board of Appeals (the precursor to the Planning & Zoning Commission). A Public Hearing was held
and the ZBA made a recommendation to the Village Board; the Village Board's decision was final. The zoning
approval process took between 90 to 120 days, depending on meeting dates, and then the applicant would apply
for a building permit.
In 2004 the Village Board approved a code change that allowed the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision
to be final for unenclosed porches. This change shortened the approval process for the applicant. It currently
takes between 30 to 60 days to get zoning approval for an unenclosed porch. Once the P&Z approves the request,
the applicant may apply for a building permit.
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-24-07
Page 2
Ms. Divita said since the Village Code was changed in 2004, the Village has received 20 Conditional Use
applications for unenclosed porches and all have been approved. Staff recommendation and the Commission
decisions have been based on whether quality materials were being used, confirming the encroachment would not
create a sight obstruction, and whether the design blended with the existing house and neighboring houses.
Ms. Divita stated that in considering the upcoming revisions for the Village zoning ordinance at their April 10,
2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting, the Village Board agreed that further streamlining this process makes
sense. At the April 26, 2007 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Commissioners agreed this makes sense.
Staff has met with the Village Attorney to identify this proposed process. As presented here, it most resembles
the process used for minor variances and includes a public notice and hearing component and due process with
appeals to be heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Currently administrative hearings are used for the
Director of Community Development to consider "Minor Variations." She said the review process for a front
porch within the required front yard setback cannot however be considered a variation because:
14.203.C.9.b. "The conditions upon which an application for a variation are based are unique to
the property for which the variation is sought and are not generally applicable to other property
within the same zoning classification."
Ms. Divita stated that virtually all homes in the Village are set back thirty feet from the front property line so this
is not a unique situation. Rather, unenclosed front porches in the required front yard are one of the two situations
which qualify as a "conditional use:"
14.203.F.1.b. "Uses entirely private in character but of a nature that their operation may present a
different impact upon adjoining properties or the neighborhood in general."
Ms. Divita said that currently Conditional Use approval may only be granted by the Village Board, and in the case
of front porches, conditional uses approval is granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Village
Attorney has advised to leave this system in tact and to create 14.316 as a special category to allow administrative
review of unenclosed front porches in the required front yard. This new process will be referred to as an
"Administrative Conditional Use" and follows:
· Requests would be reviewed by Staff for conformance to Standards including lack of site obstruction,
materials, design, and aesthetics.
. Notices would be mailed to neighbors within 100' ofthe Subject Property.
. A Public Hearing sign would be posted on the Subject Property.
· A Staff Report would be prepared and presented at an open hearing.
. The approval process would take approximately 3 weeks and the Director of Community Development's
decision is final, but may be appealed to the P&Z.
Ms. Divita said Section 14.203.D.8.b of the Village Code lists standards for the P&Z to consider for text
amendments to the Zoning Code. These standards relate to:
. The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
· Consistency of the amendment with objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan;
. The degree to which the amendment would create non-conformity;
· The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive; and
Richard Rogers, Chairman
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 28, 2007
PZ-24-07
Page 3
. Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
Ms. Divita stated that the proposal to amend the Village's existing process of reviewing of unenclosed front
porches would be applicable on a community-wide basis and would be consistent with the Village's previous
requirements, maintaining health and safety for the neighbors at large.
Ms. Divita said the proposed text amendment meets the standards contained in Section 14.203.D.8.b of the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve
the following motion:
"To approve the text amendments as outlined above for Case Number PZ-24-07 which would
allow administrative review of unenclosed porches in the required front yard setback to encroach
up to 5-feet. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
She stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Mr. Roberts asked if the encroachment was greater than 5-feet, the case would still need to come before the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Divita confirmed and stated in addition, that if the porch was also part of
another zoning case, it would come before the Planning and Zoning Commission, rather than sort the porch out
from the zoning case.
Mary McCabe stated she had a question regarding item HI in the Staff memo. She asked about the verbiage
allowing the permit to be revoked without final action from the Village Board. Ms. Divita stated the new process
combined the notice component of a variation and the standards and process of a conditional use. Mr. Roberts
clarified that the eighteen month standard is existing language and there is no change; he clarified that revocation
of the Conditional Use comes from the Village Board if the project has not been significantly completed within 18
months or no further action taken to extend the conditional use permit. Ms. Divita stated his interpretation is
correct.
Chairman Rogers closed the public hearing at 11 :00 p.m.
Leo Floros made a motion to approve a Text Amendment, Case Number PZ-24-07. Mary McCabe seconded the
motion.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
TO:
DATE:
JULY 11,2007
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING TITLE TO PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 902
ARDYCE LANE AND 608 MEIER ROAD
SUBJECT:
Attached to this memorandum is a resolution that allows the Village to accept title to two properties
located at 902 Ardyce Lane and 608 Meier Road. Both properties are improved with dry detention
basins that were developed as part of the Westgate Garden Subdivision (1976) and St. Cecilia
Subdivision (1978).
At the time that these subdivisions were approved, no homeowner's association was formed and the
developer, a limited liability corporation (LLC), maintained ownership of these parcels. The LLC no
longer exists and the properties are not being maintained and the property taxes are not being paid.
The Village has been maintaining the properties through our property maintenance program, but since
there isn't an owner to bill for this service, the Village is ultimately stuck with this expense
(approximately $400 per cutting). If we accept ownership of the properties, we can include them in the
overall lawn mowing contract that applies to Village properties which would cost approximately $1,500
per year. Staff is therefore recommending that the Village accept title to the properties to ensure that
they are properly maintained and that they are not acquired by another individual through a tax sale.
Please forward this memorandum and attached resolution to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their July 17th meeting. Staff will be at the meeting to answer any questions related to
this matter.

iManage:193723_1

22) PROPERTY TAXES.
(A) Definition of "Real Property Taxes." For purposes of this
Lease, the phrase "Real Property Taxes" shall include general real estate taxes and
assessments payable with respect to the Property which are imposed by any authority
having the power to tax any legal or equitable interest of Landlord or Tenant in or on the
Premises, specifically including any tax on the leasehold interest created under this
Lease; provided, however, that assessments shall be prorated and divided into the
maximum number of installments permitted by law and only the current portion shall be
included in Real Property Taxes for any Lease Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

assessments Iiened against the Property prior to the Commencement Date.

23) REMOVAL OF LIENS. In the event any lien upon Landlord's title
results from any act or neglect of Tenant, and Tenant fails to remove said lien within ten
(10) days after Landlord's notice to do so, Landlord may remove the lien by paying the full
amount thereof or otherwise and without any investigation or contest of the validity
thereof, and Tenant shall pay Landlord upon request the amount paid out by Landlord in
such behalf, including Landlord's costs, expenses and attorneys fees.
24) LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(A) Tenant's Close of Operations. If Tenant intends to close its

in this Section, it must notify the Landlord in writing one hundred and twenty (120) days
prior to shutting down. If Tenant must cease operation as a result of an emergency, it
must notify the Landlord as soon as possible of the reason and the anticipated duration.
The Landlord may terminate the Lease immediately if Tenant closes for seven (7) days,
subject to exception due to force majeure, casualty, condemnation and remodeling, and
fails to reopen within twenty (20) days after receiving written notice from the Landlord.
Tenant's right to the possession of the Premises thereupon shall terminate with or (to
the extent permitted by law) without any notice or demand whatsoever, and the mere
retention of possession thereafter by Tenant shall constitute a forcible detainer of the
iManage: 193723_1
Premises; and if the Landlord so elects, but not otherwise, and with or without notice of
such election or any notice or demand whatsoever, this Lease shall thereupon
terminate, and upon the termination of Tenant's right of possession, as aforesaid,
whether this Lease be terminated or not, Tenant agrees to surrender possession of the
Premises immediately, without the receipt of any demand for rent, notice to quit or
demand for possession of the Premises whatsoever, and hereby grants to Landlord full
and free license to enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof, to take
possession thereof with or (to the extent permitted by law) without process of law, and
to expel and to remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying the
Premises or any part thereof, and Landlord may use such force in and about expelling
and removing Tenant and other persons as may reasonably be necessary, and
Landlord may re-possess himself of the Premises as its former estate, but such entry of
the Premises shall not constitute a trespass or forcible entry or detainer, nor shall it
cause a forfeiture of rents due by virtue thereof, nor a waiver of any covenant,
agreement or promise in this Lease contained, to be performed by Tenant. Tenant
hereby waives all notice of any election made by Landlord hereunder, demand for rent,
notice to quit, demand for possession, and any and all notices and demand whatsoever,
of any and every nature, which mayor shall be required by any statute of this state
relating to forcible entry and detainer, or to landlord and tenant, or any other statute, or
by the common law, during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof.
(B) Tenant's Defaults. The occurrence of anyone or more of the
following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
i. Tenant shall be in default if, after receiving written notice
from Landlord, Tenant fails to: (i) pay, within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of written notice, any rent or other
monetary payment which is past due pursuant to the terms
of this Lease; or (ii) cure, within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice, any breach of any other covenant,
conditions, provision or obligation to be performed by Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease; provided, if such non-
monetary cure cannot reasonably be completed with such
thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time
as may reasonably be necessary, so long as the cure has
been commenced within thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice, and is thereafter diligently prosecuted to
completion.
ii. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by
Tenant to make any payment of Base Rent or any other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and
when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of
seven (7) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant in
writing of such failure.
iManage:193723_1
iii. Tenant's failure to reopen as provided in this Lease;
iv. The failure by Tenant to abide by the Village of Mount
Prospect's regulations, or observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Tenant, other than the payment of
sums due hereunder, where such failure shall continue for a
period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from
Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of
Tenant's default is such that more than ten (10) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be
deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure
within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently
pursues such cure to completion;
v. If Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or file a petition in any court for bankruptcy,
reorganization, composition or make an application in any
such proceeding for the appointment of a trustee or receiver
for all or any portion of its property;
vi. If any petition shall be filed against Tenant in any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings, and
such proceedings are not dismissed or vacated within one
hundred twenty (120) days after such petition is filed;
vii. If a receiver or trustee shall be appointed under state law for
Tenant for all or any portion of the property of Tenant, and
such receivership or trusteeship shall not be set aside within
ninety (90) days after such appointment.
(C) Remedies in Default. In the event of any such uncured
default, Landlord may pursue the following remedies in addition to any other remedies
available at law or in equity:
i. Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease
shall terminate and Tenant shall surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord within ten (10) days after written notice
from Landlord to Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not
limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises,
expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and
alteration of the Premises. Any damage or loss of rent
sustained by Landlord may be recovered by Landlord, at
iManage: 193723_1
landlord's option, at the time of the reletting, or in separate
actions, from time to time, as such damages shall have been
made easily ascertainable by successive relettings, or at
landlords' option in a singl~ proceeding deferred until the
expiration of the term of this lease (in which event Tenant
hereby agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed
to have accrued until the date of expiration of such term) or
in a single proceeding prior to either the time of reletting or
the expiration of the term of this lease.
ii. landlord may maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which
case this lease shall continue in effect whether or not
Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event,
landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of landlord's rights
and remedies under this lease.
iii. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the enforcement of
any claim landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory
breach of the unexpired term of this lease. In the event of a
breach or anticipatory breach by Tenant of any of the
covenants or provisions hereof, landlord shall have the right
of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by
law or in equity as if reentry, summary proceedings and
other remedies were not provided for herein. Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by
or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant
being evicted or dispossessed pursuant to the terms hereof,
or in the event of landlord obtaining possession of the
Premises by reason of Tenant's default of any of the
covenants and conditions of this lease, as set forth herein.
(0) Acceptance of rent. The acceptance of rent, whether in a single
instance or repeatedly, after it falls due, or after knowledge of any breach hereof by
Tenant, or the giving or making of any notice or demand, whether according to any
statutory provision or not, or any act or series of acts except an express written waiver,
shall not be construed as a waiver of landlord's rights to act without notice or demand
or of any other right hereby given landlord, or as an election not to proceed under the
provisions of this Lease.
(E) Cumulative Remedies. Except where otherwise expressly provided
in this lease, no remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall,
wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity and all
those specifically provided herein.
25) TERMINATION. At the termination of the term of this lease, by lapse of
time or otherwise, Tenant will yield up immediate possession of the Premises to landlord,
iManage:193723_1
in good condition and repair, loss by fire and ordinary wear excepted, and in the condition
it was in prior to Landlord's installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and will return
the keys therefor to Landlord at the place of payment of rent. If Tenant retains possession
of the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of the term by lapse of time or
otherwise, then Landlord may at its option within thirty (30) days after termination of the
term serve written notice upon Tenant that such holding over constitutes either (a) renewal
of this Lease for one year, and from year to year thereafter, at double the rental
(computed on an annual basis) specified in Section 6, or (b) creation of a month to month
tenancy, upon the terms of this Lease except at double the monthly rental specified in
Section 2, or (c) creation of a tenancy at sufferance, at a rental of 150.00 dollars per day,
for the time Tenant remains in possession. If no such written notice is served, then a
tenancy at sufferance with rental as stated at (c) shall have been created. Tenant shall
also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from retention of
possession by Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver by
Landlord of any right of re-entry as otherwise set forth in this Lease; nor shall receipt of
any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of tenancy operate as a waiver of the right
to terminate this Lease for a breach of any of the covenants herein.
26) COSTS AND FEES. Tenant shall pay upon demand all Landlord's
reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys, agents
and others retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease or in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Landlord shall,
without Landlord's fault, become involved through or on account of this Lease.
27) ASSIGNMENT. Tenant will not assign this Lease or any part of it to any
other person, firm or corporation, except affiliates, without the written consent of the
Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to sublease the location to a qualified franchisee of
Tenant with the written consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Such sublease arrangement shall not relieve Tenant from any
Tenant obligations, as set forth in the Lease, including but not limited to, the reasonable
quality standards established by the Landlord. The Landlord may look to Tenant should
any default arise as a result of actions of a subTenant.
28) NOTICES. Whenever a provision is made under this Lease or by law for
any demand, notice or declaration of any kind, or where it is deemed desirable or
necessary by either party to give or serve any such notice, demand or declaration to the
other party, it shall be in writing and served either personally or sent by United States mail,
certified, postage prepaid, or by pre-paid nationally recognized overnight courier service,
addressed at the addresses set forth below or at such address as either party may advise
the other from time to time.

SUBJECT:
REGIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (RTAP)
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN
On July 20, 2006, Staff submitted a pre-application to the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) for assistance
with a public transportation system plan through the Regional Technical Assistance Program (R TAP). Earlier this
year RTA approved the Mount Prospect Public Transportation System Plan for inclusion in the 2007 RTAP.
RTA budgets the project at $125,000 with a 20% local match ($25,000). For the project a consultant will be hired
to create the plan.
Regional Technical Assistance Program
The RTAP was created to enhance coordination between local governments and agencies. RTAP provides
planning assistance, technical support, information services, presentations, consultation, training, and workshops.
Eligible recipients are municipalities, townships, counties, the region's public transit operators (CT A, Metra and
Pace), transportation management associations, and local planning agencies. Since inception, the RTAP has
assisted local communities and operators with station area planning studies, county transit plans, corridor studies,
and technology demonstrations. A brochure with more information about the project is attached.
Village of Mount Prospect Public Transportation
The community has expressed concern that the current public transportation system in Mount Prospect is difficult
to navigate and does not provide adequate service to all areas of the Village. This was expressed from the public
input that was gathered from the Comprehensive Plan Update and the business retention visits conducted by
Village Staff and the Economic Development Commission. It is important that the Village fully understand who
is using mass transit within the Village (origination and destination) and seek opportunities to improve
connectivity to critical destinations within the Village and the surrounding area.
The Suburban Transit Access Route (STAR) Line is also currently in the early stages of planning and will
dramatically affect the way the southern half of Mount Prospect connects to the Chicago land area. The proposed
STAR Line will create a new commuter rail transit infrastructure between O'Hare Airport, Hoffman Estates, and
Joliet. In the most recent version ofthe plan, a station is planned at a site on Busse Road, immediately north of the
Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90). The line itself will be located within the Tollway right-of-way. Although it
will be several years before the start of construction for the STAR Line, the Village will benefit from analyzing
the placement of a STAR Line station and its impacts on existing and future land uses and transportation routes.
Planning proactively for the placement of the station will ensure proper connections to multiple modes of public
transportation options and make certain that development related to the station is transit-oriented and pedestrian
friendly.

If studied and planned correctly, a public transportation plan will aid the Village in increasing connectivity
between key destinations in the community, encourage transit ridership, and provide residents with viable
alternatives to driving. Furthermore, the recent update of the Comprehensive Plan recommends studying the
public transportation system in Mount Prospect evaluating the current level of service, usage, and access to
transit, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic in order to improve the Village's public transportation system and
connections to multiple modes of transportation.
Village of Mount Prospect Public Transportation System Plan
This project will address two elements of public transportation within the Village. The first project component
will review the current level of local public transportation service and identify connectivity, usage, and service
area improvements to destinations within the Village and the region. The second component will develop a station
area plan for a proposed station within the Village on the proposed Metra STAR Line. More detail on the project
can be found in the attached application.
RT AP Final Application
The Village needs to submit a final application which presents 1) the project scope, 2) project management plan,
3) project budget, and 4) a signed resolution by the Village, authorizing the filing of the application and execution
of the required Technical Assistance Agreement (TSA). When a consultant is selected, the Village will then need
to sign the TSA with RTA. A copy of this agreement is attached; it has been reviewed by the Village Attorney.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
July 17, 2007 meeting. Staff and a representative from RTA will be present to answer any questions related to
this matter.

SECTION 4: DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
attach additional pages, if necessarYI
Briefly describe, with assistance from your RTA project manager, the nature, size,
location, and limits of all elements of the proposed project. Also discuss existing
conditions and how the proposed project will improve such conditions. Applicants
are advised to focus on the project description within the context of benefits to the
public transit system and its patrons.
If the work proposed for Regional Technical Assistance Program funding is part of
a larger project, describe its relationship to the larger project. Please provide a
description of the physical boundaries of the study area.
The project is a public transportation system plan evaluating the current level of
service, usage, and access to Pace, Metra, and bicycle routes for Mount Prospect
residents and businesses. The plan will provide recommendations for
improvements to the public transportation system serving the Village, which
currently includes two Metra commuter rail lines, with one station located in the
Village and one station adjacent to the Village; nine public bus routes; and a
bicycle network.
As part of the scope of the project, a sub area plan will also be conducted - an
inter-modal transportation station area plan which will evaluate the placement of
a station on the proposed Metra STAR Line route and its impacts on the Village
as a whole. The plan should provide recommendations for adding transit-
supportive development within close proximity of the station and linkages to
other modes of transportation to the station site.
The Public Transportation Improvement portion of the study will cover the entire
Village of Mount Prospect, which covers an area of approximately ten square
miles located 22 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. It is bordered on the
north by Prospect Heights, on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve and
Des Plaines, on the south by Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village, and on the west
by Arlington Heights. The proposed STAR Line station is planned at a site on
Busse Road, immediately north of the Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90). The line
itself will be located along the Tollway right-of-way. The Sub-Area Plan will cover
an approximate % mile radius of the station site.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.0 Introduction
1.1. Describe the Project Management Plan
This Project Management Plan articulates the process for the Village of Mount
Prospect Public Transportation System Plan, which also includes the STAR Line
Station Area Plan, the decision making structure for the project, and the roles
and responsibilities of each party involved.
1.2. State Reasons for the Project
The community has expressed concern that the current public transportation
system in Mount Prospect is difficult to navigate and does not provide adequate
service to all areas of the Village. The Village wants to identify what issues exist
and look for opportunities to improve connectivity to critical destinations within
the Village and the surrounding area. If studied and planned correctly, the
Plan will increase connectivity between key destinations in the community,
encourage transit ridership, and provide residents with viable alternatives to
driving. .
There is one key opportunity for better connectivity in the Village's public
transportation system that requires study and planning - the Metra STAR Line
Route. The Village needs to analyze the placement of a STAR Line station in
Mount Prospect and its impacts on existing and future land uses and
transportation routes. Planning proactively for the placement of the station will
ensure proper connections to multiple modes of public transportation options
and make certain that development related to the station is transit-oriented and
pedestrian - friendly.

2.1 Present Relevant Historical Highlights of the Study Area
Since 1950, the Village of Mount Prospect grew from a small residential
community of approximately 4,000 people in a somewhat rural setting to an
established and diversified community with an estimated population of 56,706.
The following were largely responsible for this growth in population:
. Available property;
. Proximity to O'Hare International Airport; and
. Access to transportations routes, such as the Union Pacific Rail Road and
several state routes that bisect through the Village.
The burst in population resulted in several public transportation options to
meet the transportation demands of the community. Mount Prospect is home
to one Metra commuter rail station, on the Northwest Union Pacific line, which
commuters have been using since the early 1950s. Another Metra commuter
rail station, on the North Central line, is located immediately northeast of the
RTA, Regional Technical Assistance Program Application
Project Management Plan
Page 1
Village in Prospect Heights. In 2006, Metra expanded the schedule for the
Metra North Central line to include 22 passenger trains, up from the 8 that
were previously in operation.
In 1967, several area communities worked together to solicit federal funds for a
bus demonstration study. In 1974, the buses became so popular that United
Motor Coach, the bus owner, asked the voters to support a Regional
Transportation Authority referendum in order to keep the busses running.
NORTRAN officially took over the buses and routes in early 1975. Today the
Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is the fmancial oversight and regional
planning body for Metra commuter rail and Pace suburban bus.
In 2000, the Northwest Municipal Conference recognized that bicycle travel was
an integral component of the region's public transportation system. The need
for a variety of transportation options in Northeastern Illinois increased
significantly due to the region's road network system being plagued with
congestion. Clearly, more transportation alternatives were necessary to keep
up with ever-increasing travel demands. In order to meet the demands, the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Committee formed to plan for the connection of existing
and future bicycle facilities into a regional bicycle network.
Today, the public transportation system is continually evolving through out the
Chicago metropolitan region. The Suburban Transit Access Route (STAR) Line
is currently in the early stages of planning and will dramatically affect the way
the southern half of Mount Prospect connects to the Chicagoland area. The
proposed STAR Line will create a new commuter rail transit infrastructure
between O'Hare Airport, Hoffman Estates, and Joliet. In the most recent version
of the plan, a station is planned at a site on Busse Road, immediately north of
the Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90). The line itself will be located along the
Tollway right-of-way.
2.2 Describe the Existing Conditions and Boundaries of the Study Area
The Village of Mount Prospect covers an area of approximately ten square miles
located 22 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. It is bordered on the north by
Prospect Heights, on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve and Des
Plaines, on the south by Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village, and on the west by
Arlington Heights. The Village is bisected by several major transportation
corridors:
. Public Involvement
. Northwest Union Pacific Railroad, which runs diagonally through the Village
from a southeast to a northwest direction with a station in the downtown;
. Canadian National Railroad, which runs diagonally through the northeast
portion of the Village with a station at our border with Prospect Heights;
. Northwest Highway (Route 14), which runs parallel to Northwest Union
Pacific Railroad;
. Rand Road (Route 12), which also runs diagonally through the Village from
a southeast to a northwest direction in the north half of the Village;e. Central Road, which runs west and east through the center of the Village;
RTA, Regional Technical Assistance Program Application
Project Management Plan
Page 2
. Golf Road (Route 58), Dempster Street, and Oakton Street, which run west
and east through the south portion of the Village; and
. Illinois Route 83 which runs north and south through the center of the
Village.
Mount Prospect is an established, developed community, with a healthy mix of
residential, commercial, and industrial development. Since most of the
community is already committed in terms of land use, the existing development
pattern significantly influences the type and extent of new development which
will be possible, and the extent to which redevelopment will be appropriate.
The following is a summary of Mount Prospect's public transportation system
linkages:
Airports. Mount Prospect is within close proximity of two airports: O'Hare
International Airport, located southeast of Mount Prospect, which is currently
expanding its current facilities; and Chicago Executive Airport, which continues
to expand jet and private airplane traffic.
Transit and Bus Routes. Within Mount Prospect, there are nine PACE bus
routes, an O'Hare and Midway Airport Shuttle Service, and the Metra
Commuter Trains (Union Pacific Northwest and North Central routes).
Bicvcle Network. Throughout the Village, there are a number of bicycle paths
and streets that are designated as bicycle routes. The Village continues to
investigate methods of enhancing bicycle route network to connect with key
destinations in the community, including rail stations and bus routes, and our
neighbor's bicycle systems.
2.3 Discuss of Methods to Coordinate or Build Upon Previous Studies
Mount Prospect Comprehensive Land Use Plan
In 2007, the Village of Mount Prospect updated the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan and Map. The update represented a significant commitment by Mount
Prospect to guide and control its future. It was based on several months of
intense effort by local officials, staff, and residents to review improvement needs
and development requirements. It reflects a strong local consensus concerning
what the Village should become in the future. For the update, an
implementation program was developed to serve as a means to achieve the
goals and objectives of the plan. The program prioritized strategies and
identifies responsibility for achieving them. The Mount Prospect Public
Transportation System Plan will complete the following recommended actions
from the implementation program:
"Study the public transportation system in Mount Prospect evaluating
the current level of service, usage, and access to transit, pedestrian, and
bicycle traffic. The study should provide recommendations for improving
the Village's public transportation system and connections to multiple
modes of transportation"; and
RTA, Regional Technical Assistance Program Application
Project Management Plan
Page 3
"Evaluate opportunities for better linkages between parks, schools,
Village destinations, and neighboring communities. Study the feasibility
of constructing a regional bicycle path along the Union Pacific Metra
line. "
New Start Alternatives Analvsis
Before Metra can implement any new service or expand existing service,
projects must undergo several feasibility and environmental studies to ensure
all federal and state guidelines are met. Metra must comply with the federal
New Start process which requires documentation and rigorous studies to justify
that the Metra STAR Line best addresses the transportation needs and issues
within its planned corridor. This process, which Metra will complete at the end
of 2007, is called Alternatives Analysis. The STAR line is expected to be
identified as the locally preferred alternative (LPA) that best meets the federal
requirements and serves the transportation needs of the corridor in the most
economically feasible and environmentally sensitive manner. Metra is expected
to submit the STAR Line as the LPA to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
for its evaluation. Similar to other communities chosen as proposed station
sites for the STAR Line, the Village will analyze the placement of a Metra Star
Line station and its impacts on existing and future land uses and
transportation routes, through the STAR Line Station Area Plan, a sub area
plan of the Mount Prospect Public Transportation System Plan.
NWMC Regional Bicvcle and Pedestrian Plan
In July 2007, the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) completed an
update of the NWMC Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The plan identifies
gaps and barriers to the regional network and considers roadway projects with
the potential to include shared use paths and on street facilities. The Mount
Prospect Public Transportation System Plan can build upon the update of this
Plan, which will offer recommendations to better connect the regional bicycle
and pedestrian system with the regional public transportation system.
3.0 List the Goals and Ob'ectives of the Stud
Proiect Goal
The overall goal of the project is to provide a plan for a balanced public
transportation system which provides for safe and efficient movement of
vehicles and pedestrians, supports surrounding land development, and
enhances regional transportation facilities.
