SUBJECT:
PZ-05-08 - V ARIA nON (SECOND DRIVEWAY)
1750 AZALEA PLACE
JOAN AND LARRY SCHRAMBECK - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-05-08, a Variation for a
second driveway, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request
at the January 24, 2008 meeting.
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Basswood Lane, between Euclid Avenue and Azalea Place,
and contains a single family residence with related improvements. The Petitioner currently parks a recreational
vehicle on a gravel pad, located in the backyard along Basswood Lane. A gravel pad is not an approved surface
and not allowed per the Village Code. Therefore, the Petitioner proposes to install a second driveway to park the
vehicle on in order to comply with Village regulations. Variation approval is required for the second driveway on
Basswood Lane as the Village Code allows only one driveway per lot.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request and commented on the fact that the pad is
located behind a fence and not visible from the street. They reviewed whether the pad could be considered a legal
nonconforming structure because it had been in place for several years; staff explained that had already been
researched and found the request did not qualify for legal nonconforming status. The Commission discussed why
the second driveway was needed and its impact. Several neighbors addressed the Commissioner and spoke in
favor of the Petitioner's request. One neighbor, who was in support of the request, expressed concerns of cars
entering the subdivision and using the proposed apron as a turn around to avoid freight train traffic. The
Commissioners discussed several design options and concluded that constructing the apron of semi-pervious
pavers, if allowed by Village Code, would address the neighbors concern and be easy to remove prior to the
Petitioners selling their house. They noted that the property had frontage on three streets, which was a unique
feature, and that the request would have minimal impact on the character of the neighborhood.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a Variation
allowing a second driveway to be installed off of Basswood Lane as shown on the Petitioner's exhibit date
stamped January 17,2008, for the property at 1750 Azalea Place, subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to the sale of the home, the right-of-way improvements (apron) shall be removed; and
2. The Petitioner is encouraged to use a semi-pervious paver for the right-of-way improvement.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 19, 2008 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Marlys Haaland made a motion to approve the
minutes of the October 25, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved
3-0 with Chairman Rogers abstaining. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to continue Case Number PZ-38-07 to the
February 28, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Mr. Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was
approved 4-0. After hearing four previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-05-08, a request for a
Variation for a second driveway at 1750 Azalea Place, at 9:32 p.m.
Judith Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Property is located on the west side of Basswood Lane,
between Euclid A venue and Azalea Place, and contains a single family residence with related improvements. The
Subject Property is zoned RI Single Family and is bordered by the R1 District on all sides. The Subject Property
was developed under Cook County jurisdiction and annexed into Mount Prospect in the early 1970s.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner currently parks a recreational vehicle on a gravel pad, located in the backyard
along Basswood Lane. Sec. 14.2209 of the Village Code allows recreational vehicles to be parked in a residential
district but only if the vehicle is parked on an approved driveway or parking pad; gravel is not an approved
surface and not permitted. Staff learned of the gravel pad during a Systematic Inspection and contacted the
Petitioner about removing the gravel pad. The Petitioner proposes to install a second driveway to park the vehicle
on in order to comply with Village regulations. However, Sec. 14.2215 of the Village Code allows only one

driveway per lot. As the Petitioner already has a driveway in the front of the house on Azalea Place, Variation
approval is required for the second driveway on Basswood Lane.
Ms. Connolly showed a table that compared the Petitioner's proposal to the Rl single family residence district's
bulk requirements. It showed that the subject property complies with the Village's Zoning Regulations, with the
exception of the gravel pad. Ms. Connolly stated that Staff reviewed old aerial photos and could not determine
when the gravel was installed. In conversations with the Petitioner, Staff learned the gravel was laid around 1976.
Also, the Village does not have a record of construction for a gravel pad. Since the gravel pad was installed
without the benefit of a permit and it was constructed after the property was annexed into Mount Prospect, it is
not considered a legal non-conformity and is not allowed to remain.
Ms. Connolly said that 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. Ms. Connolly
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 of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner proposes to install a curb cut and driveway on Basswood Lane and
construct a driveway in lieu of the existing gravel pad. The recreational vehicle would be parked on an approved
surface, which would comply with Village Codes. Prior to applying for the Variation, the Petitioner researched
alternatives such as parking the vehicle in front of the house on the existing driveway. They found that the
vehicle may extend over the sidewalk, and that the vehicle would be highly visible in this location. They
researched selling the vehicle, but found that option to be financially prohibitive. They also contacted storage
facilities to determine whether it was feasible to park the vehicle off-site. They found the cost to be somewhat
significant, but another consideration was the inadequate level of security the facilities provide. Based on this, the
Petitioner opted to apply for the Variation for the second driveway.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's application included a petition signed by several neighbors and an email from a
neighbor, both supporting the Petitioner's request, and the email noting how minimal of an impact the driveway
would have on the neighborhood. However, Staff found that the request for a second driveway was not based on
a hardship as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, but would serve as a convenience to the Petitioner. Staff
appreciates the Petitioner's desire to store the vehicle on-site, which is permitted by Village Code, but in order to
do so, a second driveway is needed, requiring relief from the Village's Zoning Ordinance. The Petitioner has
taken considerable steps to screen the vehicle in this location and would modify the surface it is parked on, but the
lot is typical of most lots in the Village, and the request would not be unique to the Subject Property.
Ms. Connolly stated based on this analysis, the Variation request for a second driveway fails to meet the standards
for a Variation as listed in the Village's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning
Commission deny the following motion:
"To approve a Variation allowing a second driveway be installed off of Basswood Lane as shown on the
Petitioner's exhibit date stamped January 17,2008, for the property at 1750 Azalea Place."
Ms. Connolly said the Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Joseph Donnelly asked if a circular driveway was considered with a drive to the backyard so the RV could be
parked on the side of the house while being fenced in. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner wanted to screen
the vehicle as much as possible and that is why they wanted to keep it in the current location. The Petitioner did
consider selling the current vehicle and purchasing a smaller RV to park on the driveway, but there was concern
that the neighbors would see it as an eyesore.
Chairman Rogers said he would be concerned if the RV was parked on the side of the house as the entire vehicle
as opposed to only seeing the front.
Further discussion continued whether or not the entire side of the RV could be seen from Euclid.
Chairman Rogers swore in Garry Schrambeck, 2205 Oak Leaf Lane, Lake Villa, IL. Mr. Schrambeck was
speaking on behalf of his parents', the Petitioners. Mr. Schrambeck stated that they are asking for a Variation to
install a second driveway with access from Basswood Lane into the backyard of the residence. Currently, there is
a gravel pad that is neat and free of weeds. The Petitioners have parked RV vehicles since 1975 and have never
received one complaint from neighbors or Village employees. The location of the residence is within a few
blocks of the Village Manager and several trustees who have never filed complaints.
Mr. Schrambeck said in the summer of 2007, they were informed that his parents were in violation of Code
14.2209 that took effect in 1993. They called for an inspector and met with Robert Roels. According to Mr.
Schrambeck, Mr. Roels stated that the backyard was kept nice and neat and believed there would be no reason
why the gravel pad would not be grandfathered in since it has been there since 1975. He said Mr. Roels would
provide a follow-up after speaking with his boss. He stated Mr. Roels would ask for this RV be grandfathered for
the next 10-15 years and the next homeowner would not be granted use. Mr. Schrambeck said no response ever
came from the Village. He stated that the Petitioners are not refusing to put in a second driveway to conform to
Village Code. They are willing to pay for this major out-of-pocket expense.
Mr. Schrambeck said a second driveway would require a second depression, but only one depression is allowed
per Village Code. He has spotted several homes in the neighborhood that contain a second depression (circular
driveway). He said the Petitioners' RV should not be an issue due to all the depressions. He continued by stating
that the RV is on the road most of the year. Over the past 36 years, the Petitioners have never been in violation of
any Village Codes and they're not ready to start now.
Mr. Schrambeck continued by stating the Petitioners should be grandfathered in and be granted approval
installing a second driveway. Parking the RV in the front of the home would be an eyesore and it would also
block the viewing of a bus stop for neighbors. He said that they have letters and a petition from 25 neighbors
stating that the RV should be left where it is at. The Petitioners have explored the options of storing the RV off
site, but the cost, security, and loading/unloading process would take its toll on the Petitioners.
Mr. Schrambeck said that several Village inspectors have been to the house over the years regarding the fence and
shed, but nothing has been said about the RV. He said the Petitioners have not kept the RV a secret from the
Village as a vehicle sticker has been purchased over the past 32 years. Mr. Schrambeck concluded by stating that
this would be a travesty if the Petitioners lost this RV at this point in their life.
Chairman Rogers asked that if the Petitioners were willing to make a permanent parking pad that contained
concrete or asphalt and would run it to the street if allowed. Mr. Schram beck agreed. Chairman Rogers said he
saw the property with the gate. He stated that the RV could be seen, but it is not intrusive. He said something
needs to be unique in order for a hardship. Chairman Rogers said the property is unique being bordered by three
streets: Euclid, Basswood, and Azalea.

Chairman Rogers swore in Ronald Mueller, 1780 Azalea Place, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Mueller said he has
resided at this address for 36 years and stated that the RV is concealed. He stated that the second driveway is not
a bad idea, but it would lower the value of the home. He said the gravel pad has been maintained by the
Petitioners and cannot be seen from the street. He concluded by stating the property and the motor home are both
well maintained by the Petitioners.
Chairman Rogers swore in Robert Guthrie, 1784 Azalea Place, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Guthrie has resided at
this address for 16.5 years. He said the RV is not an eyesore and he has never had a problem. He does not
understand why a second driveway cannot be installed.
Chairman Rogers swore in Frederick Brill, 1762 Azalea Place, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Brill stated that he wrote
a letter to the Commission. He stated that the Petitioners have been able to drive over the parkway all these years
without damaging it. He said the Petitioners maintain the parkway. He does not see gravel and mentioned that
there use to be trees along Basswood Lane that would hide the RV even more. These trees were diseased and
eventually removed by the Village. He hopes that the Petitioners could be grandfathered in with a cement or
asphalt pad without a driveway to the street and cutting of the curb. Mr. Brill concluded by stating that if a
second driveway was installed, this would create a loss of parking on Basswood and would detract the beauty of
an unbroken parkway.
Chairman Rogers said that a driveway would be required. He said that they can't allow the Petitioners to continue
driving over the grass and the curb. He realizes that the Petitioners have done a great job maintaining the
parkway without any damage.
Chairman Rogers swore in Chris McLaughin, 1756 Azalea Place, Mount Prospect, IL. She said she hopes this
case could be grandfathered in. She is concerned with the safety if a second driveway is built. She stated that
cars would use the driveway apron as a quick turnaround. Ms. McLaughin also mentioned that if the RV was on
the front driveway, it would block her view of the bus stop for her children.
Chairman Rogers asked if there were any provisions to take action on grandfathering the existing conditions. Ms.
Connolly said no because of the way the case was published and the actual request. She said the request came in
for a second driveway, not to grandfather in the gravel pad. Ms. Connolly stated that she has reviewed this case
with the Petitioners. The Village Code gradually evolved over time from requiring a parking pad to be a dustless
hard surface, no gravel and no clay, to where it arrived to today requiring concrete, pavers, or asphalt. Ms.
Connolly said she discussed gravel pads with Public Works and they stated that gravel has been a problem over
the years in the storm sewers. She appreciates the Petitioners being diligent in maintaining the parkway, but the
Village cannot allow one person to be the exception, as ruts in the parkway are a significant property maintenance
Issue.
Mr. Donnelly asked what year the property was annexed into the Village. Ms. Connolly confirmed the year was
1971 and she was told that the pad was installed in 1976. She said Staff could not grandfather this in because the
pad did not exist when the property was annexed. Discussion continued amongst the Commission and Staff
regarding the grandfathering option.
Mr. Donnelly asked if there could be a Conditional Use on disabilities. Ms. Connolly replied that a condition of
approval could be placed on a Variation.
Mr. Donnelly said he would like to leave the property the way it is; Ronald Roberts agreed with Mr. Donnelly.
Mr. Roberts stated that the Schram becks sound like wonderful people and neighbors. He continued by stating that
a driveway would be there forever and a hardship would decrease the property value. He would like to find a way
for the Petitioners not to install a second driveway. The way the case is written is to approve a second driveway,
Mr. Rogers said he would vote to approve this.

Mr. Donnelly asked if they can hold off voting tonight and have the Petitioners come back with a new proposal.
He wanted to know if republishing was an option. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioners could withdraw this case and
submit another application.
Mr. Roberts suggested that the Commission vote on the second driveway and the Petitioners could always change
their plan within a certain limit of time. Ms. Connolly confirmed that the Variation is good for one year.
Mr. Donnelly asked what recourse the Petitioners would have if the Commission voted on the second driveway.
Ms. Connolly said that she could talk to the Village attorney about grandfathering, but as she understood the
issue, there was no basis to grandfather the parking pad in as it was not there when the property was annexed.
Chairman Rogers said he cannot support allowing the Petitioners to drive over the parkway, it has to be an
approved surface. Mr. Roberts stated that the Commission is approving one option for the Petitioners, a second
driveway. He stated that the Petitioners could seek other options. Mr. Roberts continued by mentioning that the
Planning and Zoning Commission does not have the authority to say whether or not the Petitioners can drive over
the parkway. He said the case being presented is for a second driveway, whether they implement this option is up
to the Petitioners or the Village Board to decided.
Mr. Donnelly asked if the driveway could only be where the tires are, so the driveway would not have to be the
whole width. Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Code allows paving strips.
There was general discussion regarding if paving strips were present, there would be less likelihood for cars to use
as a turnaround.
Mr. Schrambeck wanted clarification that the Petitioners could just do strips for the tires rather than do a complete
apron.
Further discussion involved grandfathering in the RV and the 1993 Zoning Code. Ms. Connolly stated that the
1993 Zoning Code was updated to create provisions for RVs to be parked in a residential neighborhood. Mr.
Donnelly followed up this point by stating before 1993, the Village Code did not have provisions for parking RVs
in residential neighborhoods.
The Petitioner, Larry Schrambeck, stated that he put in a gravel pad without a permit because he thought it was
not a permanent structure as it could be removed at anytime. This was the ruling in Niles, where Mr. Schrambeck
worked, and he thought he did not need a permit in Mount Prospect.
Gary Schrambeck said if the second driveway is approved this evening on an approved surface, it would include
the strips. Ms. Connolly stated that the parallel paved strips are an approved alternative by code. However, the
curb cut/depression would still be required.
Further discussion involved whether or not the strips could go into the backyard. Also, it was stated that the
gravel pad would still have to be removed.
Ms. Connolly confirmed that they are not reviewing the materials, as those requirements are defined in Chapters
15 and 16 in the Development Code, the case presented tonight is just for the second driveway. The Petitioners
could go back and revisit the paving materials after Village Board approved the second driveway.
Mr. Donnelly suggested if the Petitioners create a paved surface in the backyard to market this as a patio. If strips
were placed, they would have to be removed upon the sale of the home.

Chairman Rogers asked Ms. Connolly if the Code allows paving bricks that allows the grass to grow through as
an approved material. Ms. Connolly said she would have to check with Engineering as brick pavers are allowed
in the right-of-way.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at
10:07 p.m.
Mr. Donnelly made a motion that the Commission approve the second driveway with the condition that the
driveway apron be removed upon sale of the property; Marlys Haaland seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Donnelly, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers
NAYS: None
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 10:08 p.m., seconded by Ronald Roberts. The motion was approved
by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

SUBJECT:
PZ-05-08 - V ARIA nON (SECOND DRIVEWAY)
1750 AZALEA PLACE (SCHRAMBECK RESIDENCE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 24, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Larry and Joan Schrambeck (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 1750 Azalea
Place (the "Subject Property"). The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the January 9, 2008 edition of the
Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within
250-feet and posted two Public Hearing signs on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Basswood Lane, between Euclid A venue and Azalea Place,
and contains a single family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single
Family and is bordered by the Rl District on all sides. The Subject Property was developed under Cook County
jurisdiction and annexed into Mount Prospect in the early 1970s.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner currently parks a recreational vehicle on a gravel pad, located in the backyard along Basswood
Lane. Sec. 14.2209 of the Village Code allows recreational vehicles to be parked in a residential district but only
if the vehicle is parked on an approved driveway or parking pad; gravel is not an approved surface and not
permitted. Staff learned of the gravel pad during a Systematic Inspection and contacted the Petitioner about
removing the gravel pad. The Petitioner proposes to install a second driveway to park the vehicle on in order to
comply with Village regulations. However, Sec. 14.2215 of the Village Code allows only one driveway per lot.
As the Petitioner already has a driveway in the front of the house on Azalea Place, Variation approval is required
for the second driveway on Basswood Lane.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property complies the Village's zoning regulations, with the exception of the gravel pad. Staff
reviewed old aerial photos and could not determine when the gravel was installed. Also, the Village does not
have a record of construction of the gravel pad. Since the gravel pad was installed without the benefit of a permit
and it is not clear when exactly it was constructed, i.e before or after the property was annexed into Mount
Prospect, it is not considered a legal non-conformity and is not allowed to remain. The following table compares
the Petitioner's proposal to the Rl Single Family Residence District's bulk requirements.

LOT COVERAGE 45% Maximum 21 % (without gravel pad) 24% (with pad)
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 proposes to install a curb cut and driveway on Basswood Lane and construct a driveway in lieu of
the existing gravel pad. The recreational vehicle would be parked on an approved surface and would comply with
Village Codes. Prior to applying for the Variation, the Petitioner researched alternatives such as parking the
vehicle in front of the house on the existing driveway. They found that the vehicle may extend over the sidewalk,
and that the vehicle would be highly visible in this location. They researched selling the vehicle, but found that
option to be financially prohibitive. They also contacted storage facilities to determine whether it was feasible to
park the vehicle off-site. They found the cost to be somewhat significant, but another consideration was the
inadequate level of security the facilities provide. Based on this, the Petitioner opted to apply for the Variation for
the second driveway.
The Petitioner's application includes a petition signed by several neighbors and an email from a neighbor, both
supporting the Petitioner's request, and the email noting how minimal of an impact the driveway would have on
the neighborhood. However, Staff found that the request for a second driveway was not based on a hardship as
defined by the Zoning Ordinance, but would serve as a convenience to the Petitioner. Staff appreciates the
Petitioner's desire to store the vehicle on-site, which is permitted by Village Code, but in order to do so, a second
driveway is needed, requiring relief from the Village's Zoning Ordinance. The Petitioner has taken considerable
steps to screen the vehicle in this location and would modify the surface it is parked on, but the lot is typical of
most lots in the Village, and the request would not be unique to the Subject Property.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, the Variation request for a second driveway fails to meet the standards for a
Variation as listed in the Village's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning
Commission deny the following motion:

TO: The Village of Mt. Prospect
RE: Motor Home
Joan & Larry Schrambeck
1750 Azalea Place
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to advise that the motor home parked in the yard of the Schrambeck's is
neither a detriment nor eyesore to our neighborhood.
We are Ted & Rosemarie Kern 1223 Basswood Lane & Frank & Betti Pierri 1225
Basswood Lane. We look directly at the motor home parked across the street, and truth
be told, we hardly know when it is there or they are on a trip.
The Schrambeck's and our families have been neighbors for 30 plus years and they have
always had a motor home. How suddenly this has become a problem to the village is
simply amazing. If the "neighborhood" people aren't bothered, and the village has
passed a recent law, they should be "grandfathered".
Thank you,
Ted & Rosemarie Kern. ,/

Subject: Case PZ-05-08 1750 Azalea Place Request for Variation
Judy Connolly
Community Development Department
Village of Mount Prospect
Re: Case No. PZ-05-08
Common Address: 1750 Azalea Place
Pin# 03-25-303-027-0000
Owners: Larry & Joan Schrambeck
Judy,
Further to our conversation regarding the upcoming hearing at the Planning & Zoning Commission, I decided to
write this short em ail to express our feelings about this case. Although I will try to appear the night of the hearing,
in case I am not able, please pass this on to Mr. Richard Rogers for me.
Statement from: Frederick & Sharon Brill
1762 Azalea Place, Mount Prospect
(847) 635-7925
Dear Mr. Rogers & Members of the Commission
We have lived on the same block with the house in question since July of 1971, about the same time that the
Schram becks purchased their house.
Through these 35+ years, we've never heard any of our neighbors express the slightest concern about
the parking a motor home behind the Schrambeck's home. Rather, the Schram becks have earned an enviable
reputation of being major contributors to the neighborhoods beautification. They've maintained the parkways that
surround their home and have landscaped and maintained the easements that border their home with Euclid
which present visitors to Boulder Point (the builder's name for our area) the best possible expectation.
Specific to the matter in question, we pass the Schrambeck home several times a day and are almost oblivious
to the motor home's presence behind their house. The reason for this is that it is mostly blocked from view by
their house and the fence. Until recently, the parkway trees along Burning Bush and the shrubbery behind their
property mostly screened the motor home. Those trees were just removed by the village and the replacements
are still quite small, but as they grow, they will again hide the motor home from most eyes.
We understand that the ordinance requires vehicles to be parked on paved driveways (instead of gravel
surfaces), but even that requirement seems unnecessary given the location of the parking spot. If the reason for
this ordinance is appearance or the possible migration of gravel into the public way or storm sewers, we can
attest to the fact that this is not a problem in this situation. We walk daily, east on Azalea, turning north on
Basswood and then later returning the same route home from the local park. We've never seen gravel on the
sidewalk or adjacent parkway along their east fence which encloses their motor home, let alone on the street
(Basswood Lane.) The idea of requiring them to pave their parking pad which is wholly within the fenced-
in backyard, seems to be an unreasonable and expensive requirement to condition the granting of the
requested variance. Moreover, requiring a driveway to be extended across the parkway to the street will detract
from the beauty of the landscaping and should not be required, in our opinion. Mr. Schrambeck is well versed in
maintaining landscaping, having worked in that capacity with the Village of Niles these past 36 years until his
retirement. He's moved that motor home across the parkway through the years without ever leaving visible
damage of ruts or tire tracks, so that a permanent driveway apron there would only serve in detracting from the
Page 2 of2
continuity of the landscaped parkway with no benefit to the Village and considerable expense to Mr. and
Mrs. Schram beck.
Sharon and I thank you for considering our opinion that the Planning and Zoning Commission should consider
recommending an unrestricted variance be granted by the Village Board.
Sincerely,
Sharon A. Brill

Dear Mr. Cooney,
The PlanIling & Zoning Commission n:commended approval of our request for a second
driveway by a 4-0 vote. Our request is scheduled to go before Village Board for the
ordinance's first reading February 19, 2008.
Weare requesting that the Village Board waive the second reading, tentatively scheduled
for March 4, 2008, and take final action at the February 19, 2008 meeting. We are
anxious to start the project as soon as possible.
I appreciate your assistance in facilitating this request. Should you have any questions,
feel free to contact us at 847/699-6258.

SUBJECT:
PZ-02-08 - CONDITIONAL USE (DAY CARE FACILITY)
2020 CAMP MCDONALD ROAD
GREGORY SZESZKO, ST. DOMINICK DAY CARE - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-02-08, a Conditional
Use permit request to operate a day care facility at 2020 Camp McDonald Road, subject to the conditions listed in
the staff report, and Variations for the amount of on-site parking and lot coverage, as described in the attached
staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at the January 24, 2008 meeting.
The area was annexed into the Village in 1971, most likely after the building had been built. Therefore, the
existing conditions are considered legal nonconforming and are allowed to remain in its existing condition. The
manner in which the site was developed creates challenges in meeting the Village's parking requirements while
minimizing the amount of new lot coverage. The Petitioner worked with a design professional to modify the site
to comply with the Village's parking regulations. It was the Petitioner's intention to comply with the Village's
parking regulations, but still maintain an adequate play area for the children. Therefore, they submitted a site plan
that indicates one new parking space will be provided, which increases the existing non-conforming amount of lot
coverage from 77% to 78%. The request requires Variation approval for the increase in the already
nonconforming amount of lot coverage and the site having 16 parking spaces when 17 are required by Village
code, as well as Conditional Use approval to operate a day care facility.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's operating requirements and the anticipated amount
of parking needed for a maximum capacity scenario. They noted the Petitioner could control the drop-off / pick-
up times to a certain extent, which would minimize parking conflicts. They also discussed the need to preserve as
much landscaping and trees as possible.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the requests for:
1. a Variation to allow 16 parking spaces,
2. 78% lot coverage, and
3. a Conditional Use permit for a daycare facility, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report
for the property located at 2020 Camp McDonald Road, Case No. PZ-02-08.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 19,2008 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

INTERESTED PARTIES:
Greg Szeszko
Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Marlys Haaland made a motion to approve the
minutes of the October 25, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved
3-0 with Chairman Rogers abstaining. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to continue Case Number PZ-38-07 to the
February 28, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Mr. Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was
approved 4-0. After hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-02-08, a request for a
Conditional Use to operate a Daycare Center at 2020 Camp McDonald Road at 7:50 p.m.
Judith Connolly, Senior Planner, said the Subject Property is located on the north side of Camp McDonald Road,
between River Road and Park Drive, and contains the Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School with related
improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered by the B3 District to the
east and west, the R4 Multifamily District to the north, and B4 Commercial Corridor and Rl Single Family
Residence District to the south.
Ms. Connolly stated the Petitioner is seeking Conditional Use approval to operate a day care facility. The
proposed day care facility would be located in the B3 Zoning District, which requires Conditional Use Approval.
Also, a parking Variation is needed because they will be deficient one parking space and exceed lot coverage
limits. Ms. Connolly summarized the Petitioner's application:
. St. Dominick Day Care is an independently owned and operated child care facility;
. The facility would occupy the soon-to-be former Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School building (the
Montessori School is relocating because they outgrew the site);
. The day care facility has a maximum capacity of 72 clients, which requires 10 staff members;
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-02-08
Page 2
. The facility would be open from 6:30 am to 6 pm Monday - Friday;
. The Petitioner anticipates most children would arrive between 8am to lOam and leave between 3:30pm
and 5:30pm;
. The Petitioner estimates the drop-off and pick-up time to be 10 minutes; and
. Anticipated ages of the children range from 2-5 years old.
Ms. Connolly said the Subject Property does not comply with the Village's bulk regulations as the existing
structure encroaches into the required side and rear setbacks. Also, some of the existing parking spaces are
located in the 10-foot setback and the site exceeds the 75% lot coverage limitation. The area was annexed into the
Village in 1971, most likely after the building had been built as Staff could not locate a building permit for the
original development of the Subject Property or document that code relief had been granted for its development.
She said the existing conditions are considered legal nonconforming and are allowed to remain in its existing
condition.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Property requires relief to meet the Village's requirements. The available
on-site parking would be 16 spaces once the garage is converted from storage back to a garage and one surface
space is created. She said based on the proposed use, the Village's Zoning Ordinance requires 1 space per
employee plus 1 space per 10 children. Based on a maximum enrollment of 72 children (7 spaces) and a staff of
10 employees, the daycare facility would require a total of 17 parking spaces.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner submitted information on the drop-off / pick-up process. They do not anticipate
needing all 16 spaces provided on-site at one time and estimate the peak usage to fall between 8 am to lOam and
3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Therefore, they feel the proposed 16 spaces will meet the facilities needs.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Village's Zoning Ordinance does not have operational requirements for daycare uses.
However, the Petitioner is required to meet specific DCFS regulations, which the Petitioner is aware of and has
worked with in other day care facilities. It is important to note that the Petitioner is required to follow State
regulations, which will be enforced by the appropriate State agency. The DCFS requirements include regulations
pertaining to play areas, providing food service, and program content. These regulations are based on the length
of the child's stay at the facility.
Ms. Connolly summarized other department comments. The interior of the building has to be modified to comply
with the National Life Safety Code and the International Building Code for daycare centers which entails
installing a fire detection system and a fire sprinkler system. While this is a Building Permit issue, it is important
to note in the Staff report to eliminate the potential for confusion during another review process. Also, a complete
egress evaluation will be required and must be prepared by a design professional.
Ms. Connolly stated that Engineering noted that they support the proposed sliding gate to secure the play area.
However, the handicapped space shown on the plan would be located in the fenced in area. As this space must be
accessible at all times, the space needs to be re-striped outside the fenced area.
Ms. Connolly advised that the Petitioner has already addressed this comment and the handicap space has been
relocated outside the fenced area. She said a revised site plan was placed by each Commissioner's seat.
Ms. Connolly mentioned that in order to approve the request, it has to meet the standards for a Variation because
the Petitioner will be short one parking space. 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:
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-02-08
Page 3
. 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.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner met with Staff prior to applying for the Conditional Use permit. Based on
the information obtained from this meeting, the Petitioner worked with a design professional to modify the site to
comply with the Village's parking regulations. It was the Petitioner's intention to comply with the Village's
parking regulations, but still maintain an adequate play area for the children. Therefore, they submitted a site plan
that indicates one new parking space will be provided, which increases the existing non-conforming amount of lot
coverage from 77% to 78%. Because this is an increase in the amount of the non-conformity (lot coverage), a
Variation is needed for the proposed amount of pavement.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner noted in the application that the anticipated amount of parking needed for
the drop-off / pick-up process would not require using more than 15 spaces, although 16 spaces would be
provided on-site. They prepared a chart documenting parking usage throughout the day, noting that even during
the peak drop-off / pick-up times, the site would be able to accommodate the anticipated parking demand.
Ms. Connolly stated the site was developed under Cook County regulation and currently contains a significant
amount of pavement. The site will be modified to accommodate one additional space, which brings the lot
coverage from 77% to 78%, with the opportunity to expand the parking lot further by removing a landscape
island. However, there is a mature tree located in a landscape island and paving over the island would further
increase the amount of lot coverage. In this case, should the facility experience an actual parking shortage, the
Petitioner is in a position to control the drop-off / pick-up process by working with parents to stagger the drop-off
/pick-up times to minimize parking shortages.
Ms. Connolly said the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. She
summarized the findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
. The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
. Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
. Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposed use would not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety or
general welfare. The use would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, or utility
provision and it would be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Furthermore, the Petitioner's drop-off / pick-up analysis indicates that vehicles entering/exiting the Subject
Property will not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood.
Ms. Connolly said the proposed use meets the Variation and Conditional Use standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the
following motion:
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-02-08
Page 4
"To approve:
A) a Variation to allow 16 parking spaces,
B) 78% lot coverage, and
C) A Conditional Use permit for a daycare facility at 2020 Camp McDonald Road, subject to the following
conditions:
I) The St. Dominick Day Care facility will be designed and developed in general accordance with the
site plan prepared by Studio 3 Design, revision date January 22, 2008;
2) The facility shall meet all Building Code & Fire Code requirements, which include but are not limited
to the installation of sprinkler and fire alarm systems and having a design professional prepare an
egress analysis as part of the Building Permit submittal;
3) The Village reserves the right to review any traffic related matters created by the use and require any
necessary measures needed to address them; and
4) Prior to the Village issuing a Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner shall obtain the necessary
permits and authorizations from the appropriate agencies (DCFS, etc.).
Ms. Connolly stated the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Rogers asked Ms. Connolly if this was the same building when it was a Montessori school and the
Commission previously approved a circular driveway; Ms. Connolly confirmed that it was. She clarified that the
Montessori school never installed the circular driveway and eventually outgrew the site. Mr. Rogers questioned if
the Conditional Use was approved tonight, what would happen to the circular driveway that was previously
approved. Ms. Connolly said that the circular driveway approval would no longer be valid as the approval period
already lapsed.
Chairman Rogers swore in Greg Szeszko, 4148 N. Pontiac, Chicago, IL. Mr. Szeszko said he and his wife are the
owners and operators of St. Dominick Day Care. They have been operating this business out of their home since
1999. They are licensed by DCFS and follow all state regulations, they are also licensed by the City of Chicago.
They were incorporated as a corporation in 2003.
Mr. Szeszko said that they provide day care from 15 months to 5 years. They provide typical day care services
including: programs that develop language skills, cognitive development, music appreciation, small and large
motor skills, social interactions. They tend to be rooted in Catholic tradition.
Mr. Szeszko mentioned that the business is successful with its customers. They like the program and the day
care's approach towards education. He has never advertised and strictly relies on word-of-mouth. They are fully
booked with a waiting list. They have outgrown their current facility and would like to expand.
Mr. Szeszko stated that they have come to an agreement with the current owners of the property at 2020 Camp
McDonald Road. It is a one story masonry brick building that contains sprinklers and is connected to a fire alarm.
There is an existing playground along with 15 parking spaces.
Mr. Szeszko said that his proposal included daily operations from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday
with a shortened Saturday schedule if needed. The maximum capacity for the day care would be 72 children and
10 employees.
Mr. Szeszko presented a modified site plan per the Staffs comments. He said there would be 16 parking spaces
for cars. He would convert a spot in the garage for a space and would also set aside a space for the handicapped
area. The floor plan includes four classrooms with one common area for indoor activities. Parents and their
children would utilize an access card to gain entry to the building. This access card would automatically register
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-02-08
Page 5
the child. An additional station would allow registration if a few clients walked in at the same time. After
registering, the parent would walk their child to the assigned classroom.
Mr. Szeszko explained the daily use of parking. He restated the peak times of8:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m. He advised the Commission that he has to maintain a specific child to teacher ratio. Since this ratio
has to be maintained, a pick-up and drop-off schedule can be drafted. He does not believe that he will over-
extend the proposed 16 spaces.
Mr. Szeszko concluded by requesting that the Commission accept his proposal.
Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner if he understood the requirements in order to obtain building permits and
what is needed for the approval of the zoning. The Petitioner stated that he understood and agreed to the
conditions. Mr. Szeszko advised that he and his architects have been working with Staff to make sure the plans
are acceptable and that they are following the guidelines set.
Chairman Rogers said the site is tight and overbuilt, but he understands the need for a child care center.
He called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at 8:12 p.m.
Chairman Rogers asked if the Commission had any questions for the Petitioner or Staff. Mr. Donnelly asked Ms.
Connolly when the Commission reviewed the circular driveway case if they had 15 spaces and did not use the
garage. Ms. Connolly advised that was correct as the previous owner did not use the garage for parking. Mr.
Donnelly asked if the previous owner was within zoning at that point or if the use of the property did not need
parking, just a drop-off point. Ms. Connolly explained that she did not know previous enrollment at that time.
She explained that the present case is based on maximum numbers. She continued by stating that it may be
initially over parked depending on enrollment numbers in the beginning and code requires that information is
provided for the most intense use.
Marlys Haaland made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-02-08, a request for 1) Variation approval for 16
parking spaces when 17 are required; 2) Variation approval for 78% lot coverage when 75% is the limit; and 3)
Conditional Use approval to operate a Day Care Center at 2020 Camp McDonald Road. Ronald Roberts
seconded the motion.

SUBJECT:
PZ-02-08 - CONDITIONAL USE & VARIATIONS (DA Y CARE)
2020 CAMP MCDONALD ROAD (ST. DOMINICK DAY CARE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 24, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Gregory Szeszko of St. Dominick Day Care (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at
2020 Camp McDonald Road (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested Conditional Use approval
and Variations for lot coverage and on-site parking to operate a day care center in the B3 Zoning District. The
P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the January 9, 2008 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 north side of Camp McDonald Road, between River Road and Park Drive,
and contains the Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School with related improvements. The Subject Property is
zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered by the B3 District to the east and west, the R4 Multifamily
District to the north, and B4 Commercial Corridor and R1 Single Family Residence District to the south.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The proposed daycare facility would be located in the B3 zoning district, which requires Conditional Use
approval. The attached exhibits detail the Petitioner's plans for the proposed daycare center, but can be
summarized as follows:
· St. Dominick Day Care is an independently owned and operated child care facility rooted in Catholic
tradition and has been in business for 8+ years;
· The facility would occupy the soon-to-be former Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School building (the
Montessori School is relocating because they outgrew the site);
· The day care facility has a maximum capacity of 72 clients, which requires 10 staff members (based on
Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS) regulations);
· The facility would be open from 6:30 am to 6 pm Monday - Friday;
· The Petitioner anticipates most children would arrive between 8am to lOam and leave between 3:30pm
and 5:30pm;
· Anticipated ages ofthe children range from 2-5 years old;
PZ-02-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 24, 2008

. Currently the Petitioner has 20 active slots, with 12 more children on a waiting list;
. St. Dominick Day Care will require the parent/guardian to physically accompany the child both to and
from their vehicle and to enter an access code on a keypad to enter the building; a log-in book will be
used to sign-in parents who do not enter their access code, i.e. when they enter the building behind
another parent and child who have entered their code; and
. Estimated drop-off / pick-up time to be no more than 10 minutes.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property does not comply with the Village's bulk regulations as the existing structure encroaches into
the required side and rear setbacks. Also, some of the existing parking spaces are located in the 10-foot setback
and the site exceeds the 75% lot coverage limitation. The area was annexed into the Village in 1971, most likely
after the building had been built as Staff could not locate a building permit for the original development of the
Subject Property or document that code relief had been granted for its development. Therefore, the existing
conditions are considered legal nonconforming and are allowed to remain in its existing condition.
The following table compares the Petitioner's proposal to the B3 District's bulk requirements and parking
regulations for a day care.

Parking: As noted above, the Subject Property requires relief to meet the Village's requirements:
. A vailable On-Site Parking: 16 spaces once the garage is converted from storage back to a garage and one
surface space is created
. Required Parking: 17 spaces (based on the following breakdown)
o Proposed Daycare: Based on the proposed use, the Village's Zoning Ordinance requires 1 space per
employee plus 1 space per 10 children. Based on a maximum enrollment of 72 children (7 spaces)
and a staff of 10 employees, the daycare facility would require a total of 17 parking spaces.
The Petitioner submitted information on the drop-off / pick-up process. They do not anticipate needing all 16
spaces provided on-site at one time and estimate the peak usage to fall between 8 am to 10 am and 3:30 pm to
5:30 pm. Therefore, they feel the proposed 16 spaces will meet the facilities needs.
Day Care Operation/Content Regulation: The Village's Zoning Ordinance does not have operational
requirements for daycare uses. However, the Petitioner is required to meet specific DCFS regulations, which the
Petitioner is aware of and has worked within other day care facilities. It is important to note that the Petitioner is
required to follow State regulations, which will be enforced by the appropriate State agency. The DCFS
requirements include regulations pertaining to play areas, providing food service, and program content. These
regulations are based on the length of the child's stay at the facility.

Other Department Comments: The interior of the building has to be modified to comply with the National Life
Safety Code and the International Building Code for daycare centers which entails installing a fire detection
system and a fire sprinkler system. While this is a Building Permit issue, it is important to note in the staff report
to eliminate the potential for confusion during another review process. Also, a complete egress evaluation will be
required and must be prepared by a design professional.
In addition, Engineering noted that they support the proposed sliding gate to secure the play area. However, the
handicapped space shown on the plan would be located in the fenced in area. As this space must be accessible at
all times, the space needs to be re-striped outside the fenced area.
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 met with Staff prior to applying for the Conditional Use permit. Based on the information obtained
from this meeting, the Petitioner worked with a design professional to modify the site to comply with the
Village's parking regulations. It was the Petitioner's intention to comply with the Village's parking regulations,
but still maintain an adequate play area for the children. Therefore, they submitted a site plan that indicates one
new parking space will be provided, which increases the existing non-conforming amount of lot coverage from
77% to 78%. Because this is an increase in the amount of the non-conformity (lot coverage), a Variation is
needed for the proposed amount of pavement.
The Petitioner notes in the attached application that the anticipated amount of parking needed for the drop-off I
pick-up process will not require using more than 15 spaces, although 16 spaces will be provided on-site. They
prepared a chart documenting parking usage throughout the day, noting that even during the peak drop-off I pick-
up times, the site will be able to accommodate the anticipated parking demand.
The site was developed under Cook County regulation and currently contains a significant amount of pavement.
The site will be modified to accommodate one additional space, which brings the lot coverage from 77% to 78%,
with the opportunity to expand the parking lot further by removing a landscape island. However, there is a mature
tree located in a landscape island and paving over the island would further increase the amount of lot coverage. In
this case, should the facility experience an actual parking shortage, the Petitioner is in a position to control the
drop-off I pick-up process by working with parents to stagger the drop-off Ipick-up times to minimize parking
shortages.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
PZ-02-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 24, 2008
Page 5
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
· The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
. Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
. Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
The proposed use would not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety or general welfare. The use
would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, or utility provision and it would be in
compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the Petitioner's drop-off
/ pick-up analysis indicates that vehicles entering/exiting the Subject Property will not have an adverse impact on
the neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed use meets the Variation and Conditional Use standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Based
on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve:
A) a Variation to allow 16 parking spaces,
B) 78% lot coverage, and
C) A Conditional Use permit for a daycare facility at 2020 Camp McDonald Road, Case No. PZ-02-08
subject to the following conditions:
1) The St. Dominick Day Care facility will be developed in general accordance with the floor plans
prepared by Studio 3 Design, dated December 10,2007,
2) The St. Dominick Day Care facility will be developed in general accordance with the site plan
prepared by Studio 3 Design, dated December 10, 2007, but revised so the handicap space is not
located within the gated area;
3) The facility shall meet all Building Code & Fire Code requirements, which include but are not limited

Business Plan
1. Executive Summary
St. Dominick Day Care is a successful corporation operating for over 8 years. It provides child care and
education rooted in Catholic tradition. It is led by experienced management who built the business from
the ground up. The day care is currently fully booked and has a long customer waiting list. In order to
offer its services to waiting and new customers, the day care is actively pursuing an expansion into a new
location.
2. Mission Statement
St. Dominick's Day Care Center is dedicated to ensuring prosperous, peaceful, and dynamically
progressive 21 century. By educating and raising adults of forthcoming decades we are in fact exercising
a tremendous amount of influence on how the future of the world will look like. Through Christian love
of our clients, excellence as a measure of everything we do, and discipline of our approach we provide
fertile grounds for children placed in our care to succeed and reach their fullest potential in making Earth
a better place. We dream big and place those dreams in the smallest hands of our children.
3. Program Philosophy
We strongly believe that childhood is the most critical and fertile period of development of attitudes,
habits, capabilities, and skills. We believe that each child is unique and has their own individual strengths
that should be developed to their fullest potential. We believe that children like to be successful and they
are happiest when they have mastered a skill or solved a problem. It might be done through play which is
a child's the most important work.
Thereby we have made a strong commitment at the center to provide a safe, rich, and supportive child
oriented environment, where each child is encouraged to explore and challenge to learn. We all are
learning while sharing and making choices, while experimenting and exploring, while helping each other
and also while making mistakes. But we still respect each other, we see our differences, and we develop
self-esteem. While working with partners or with groups we are making friends and develop social-
competence as well as our strong leadership confidence such important in our future life.
By experiencing the world through play, each child acquires social, emotional, motor, cognitive, and
language skills. Thus, the curriculum is the play - based, developmentally appropriate, thematic unit
model. The objectives of our curriculum are as follows:
· Social
Throughout the day, your child will have plenty of group motivational activities and partners
interactions to practice cooperation, sharing, taking turns, helping others and sharpening his/her
leadership skills while playing in group.
St. Dominick Day Care... it's a great beginning!

Emotional
While opening the door to our center, your child will be affected by a variety of feelings, emotions
and moods of other children. Being in a group setting is a great opportunity to develop self-expression
skills by verbalizing own thoughts, feelings and emotions in a positive constructive way while respecting
our friends. In a day care center, we learn that each child is unique and has own feelings and emotions.
And we learn how to play together, how to work together, how to cooperate, and the most important: how
to solve our problems. It builds up our strong self-esteem, self confidence, self-discipline, and we become
capable of making smart decisions.
· Motor
Our program promotes fitness, healthy living and fun. Every day, we offer our children physical
exercises at different levels, to promote good coordination, balance, and a good posture. Daily outdoor
activities allow children to strength their muscles, improve coordination and general fitness as well as
enjoy the freedom of space.
· Cognitive
Children are introduced to a variety of activities that encourage exploration, experimentation, and
problem solving. Academic skills are learn every day through a variety of learning elements, such as
language arts, music, math, science, art ,and dramatic play. Among others, we are proud to offer a strong
foundation for math skills by comparing, measuring, sorting, sequencing. Through hand-on activities we
learn to graph, estimate, count, recognize numbers and put them in order. All of this is done in a pleasant,
encouraging atmosphere, where there is no wrong answer, and everyone has a right to try again.
· Language
Through variety of materials and language activities such as story dictating, finger play, flannel
board stories, acting out and mini drama, children will enlarge their vocabulary every day, they will
improve their verbal skills, they put their ideas into words, develop sentence structure, and build a strong
foundation for a life lasting love for learning.
Cultural
We loosely follow Catholic calendar throughout the year. We will incorporate various traditions
and some of major celebrations into our program. Children will have an opportunity to discover and
experience emotions and forces that have shaped our culture. Through hands on participation they will
grow awareness of spiritual side of human beings. A very strong emphasis is placed on tolerance and
acceptance of others regardless of their personal beliefs.
4. Past Business Description
St. Dominick Day Care is a home care center operating since June of 1999. It is licensed by the state of
Illinois and follows appropriate regulations set by the Department of Children and Family Services.
Initially it operated as a sole proprietorship but in 2003 was reorganized as an Illinois corporation. As a
home care center it is being run out of a private house, located at 4148 N. Pontiac in Chicago. Despite
being located in household settings, St. Dominick is a full fledged day care. It strives to teach its clients,
the attending children, basic social skills and age appropriate behaviors. It lays groundwork in language
skills, music appreciation, physical movement abilities, basic reasoning skills, and other essential
capabilities the youngest children must master. It fosters social skills appropriate in the context of a

group that often cannot be adequately conveyed by parents at home. It also provides ample opportunity
for fun and play throughout day's activities.
Former education is rooted in the authentic Catholic Christian values. Moral and spiritual concepts are
instilled throughout the curriculum and every interaction. Teachers treat children with respect and loving
attention. Children are in turn expected to show the same to their classmates. Along with parents,
teachers strive to establish a nurturing community that will help children grow spiritually as well as
academically.
St. Dominick Day Care is recognized as a quality educational center by these people whose opinion
counts the most: the parents. The day care has traditionally relied on a word-of-mouth advertising.
Enthusiastic parents tell their friends about the wonderful place their children attend. As a result, the day
care has a long customer waiting list. Parents are known to sign up even while the mother is still pregnant
with the baby! In addition, the day care has been recognized institutionally as well. In January 2005, it
has been awarded the Quality Counts Grant sponsored by Action For Children. The grant recognizes day
care centers committed to raising the standards of education.
Ever since its inception, St. Dominick had been providing care in the Polish language to children of Polish
ancestry. In doing that, the management has recognized a great and often unfulfilled need of Polish-
American families to maintain and cultivate the parents' traditions and heritage at the earliest age. A
desire to pass on to children some appreciation for the "old country's" culture while making sure that they
assimilate in the culture of the "new home" is something that every emigrant family struggles with. St.
Dominick allows this process to take place in a fun and practical way that appeals to children and
provides a good learning context.
The business currently is licensed to care for 13 kids at a maximum. The number of active customers is
20 though, as some children do not attend the day care every day. In addition, the business has a waiting
list consisting of 12 children. Over its lifetime St. Dominick has had 44 clients. The experience of
dealing with a significant number of customers is a valuable asset. It prepares the management well for
working in a context of a bigger operation.
5. Business Expansion
Because of the limitation on the number of children a home center can care for, St. Dominick Day Care
has reached the limit of its capabilities. The only way to reach and serve a wider customer base is to
expand to a bigger site. Such relocation would provide an opportunity to serve a bigger number of
customers.
6. Benefits of a New Site
An important part of the expansion plan is selection of a new site. The owners of St. Dominick have
spent over three years searching for a property suitable to be a day care. A perfect site would be easily
accessible by both customers and employees, have enough space to house all functions essential to

running a day care, offer enough parking spaces to be functional and satisfy local zoning ordinances, and
have an outside area big enough for a playground. That complex set of requirements eliminates most of
the commercial real estate available for purchase or lease.
The site currently being considered for the relocation of St. Dominick Day Care is a free standing building
at 2020 E. Camp McDonald Road in Mount Prospect. The building is located near the intersection of
Camp McDonald Road and busy Des Plaines River Road in Mount Prospect.
The site is located close distance to many of the towns St. Dominick's past and current customers have
come from. Its proper location is in Mount Prospect. Its proximity to the major thoroughfares places the
site few minutes away from Glenview, Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Niles, Arlington Heights, Prospect
Heights, Wheeling and others. These towns historically have been home to many residents of Polish
ancestry, which would be the primary target customer group.
Mount Prospect as well as surrounding communities are constantly being developed with multistory
condominium complexes. These areas are densely populated with mixed retail and condominium
complexes. A significant percentage of occupants of these condominiums are young families which often
need good quality day care services while they pursue professional careers. Many of these apartments are
rented out which broadens the population cross section even more.
Des Plaines River Road, nearby Milwaukee Avenue, as well as Willow Road are busy throughout the day
and offer access to plenty of potential customers.
7. Management
St. Dominick Day Care started out as a sole proprietorship owned by Elzbieta Szeszko. When the day
care incorporated, Elzbieta took on a role of President and Executive Director. Her duties include day to
day business operations, coordination and overseeing of educational program, supervision of teaching
staff, and others.
Elzbieta Szeszko holds an associate degree from Triton College in Early Childhood Education. Following
completion of studies, she had worked for a year in a private day care in a position of a head teacher.
After a three year maternity leave she started St. Dominick Day Care in her house. For the first 3 years of
operation of the day care, Elzbieta was the head teacher. While working in that capacity she successfully
combined structured classroom instructions with full time child care. As the business grew, she hired her
teaching replacement and concentrated more on business duties.

1. Conditional Use
The property at 2020 E. Camp McDonald Road in Mount Prospect is zoned B3. Operation of a day care is
permitted in such a zoning under the conditional use rules. In fact the current use of the property is for the
purpose of running a Montessori school. The school cares for children 3 years old as well as school aged
children. The proposed use of the property by St. Dominick Day Care would continue the use of the
property for the same purpose.
The property does not pose any hazardous or disturbing conditions to its existing neighbors. It does not
produce any industrial waste or any other substances released into neighborhood. Day care's operating
procedures do not create any hazardous or otherwise disturbing conditions in the neighborhood.
The proposed day care will not produce any industrial output or any other substance that could be deemed
detrimental to the neighborhood. The operation of the proposed day care does not involve demolition of any
natural, scenic or historic features.
The current operator has been located in this property for close to 20 years. Through this time it has always
operated in harmony with its neighbors. St. Dominick Day Care has been operating in its current location
over 8 years. It has always enjoyed good relations with its neighbors. Relocation to a new facility would
only heighten our desire to be a good neighbor and a responsible business.
2. Property Appearance and Use
The existing building is fully integrated into its neighborhood. It presents a carefully maintained facade to
the Camp McDonald Road. Its grounds are well taken care of. The existing monument sign in front of the
building is well fitted within its surroundings. The school's playground is in the rear of the property where
it offers the most safety to its little occupants.
Neither the building nor the day care operation would pose any hazards or disturbance to the neighborhood.
As St. Dominick Day Care takes over of the operation of the property it does not plan to change
significantly its external appearance. There are only few minor changes expected:
1. Installation of a lighted sign on the East building wall.
The sign would be installed on the East building wall, in the top left comer of the wall. The sign
would offer the day care a chance to capture attention of traffic on River Road. The sign would be
visible from River Road but not from any of the residences along Camp McDonald Road. The
sign's size, design, and appearance would be muted and conservative.
2. Restoration of a car garage.
During remodeling phase of the building conversion process a garage will be restored back to its use.
The building was originally built with an attached garage. The space, however, is currently used as

additional storage. After the conversion the garage will be restored to its original use. It will
provide a covered parking space.
3. Installation of a sliding gate
The gate would be located on the West side of the building, as per the site plan. The gate would
normally be opened except for the times when the children are out on the playground. The children
could be outside any time between 10:30 am and 2 pm. Various classrooms would be outside during
some part of that time. Children are expected to be outside according to their activity plan for
between half an hour to an hour at a time.
The gate would greatly enhance the security of the playground when it is in use. It would add to the
safety of children. It would prevent unauthorized persons from entering the playground unnoticed.
It would also prevent children from accidentally running out onto the street.
The gate, when closed, would prevent the cars parked in the four North most parking spaces from
leaving. These spaces would normally be occupied by teachers. The teachers do not leave the
school while the children are out in the playground. Such a use of the property would provide
increased security of the kids while preserving the most number of parking spaces and in the most
convenient part of the property to the customers.
4. Installation of additional egress door.
As part of the building renovation an additional egress glass door would be installed in place of the
existing, unused garage door. The remaining part of the garage door opening would be filled in with
matching brick. This change would enhance traffic flow into and out of the building. It would also
clean up the building facade facing Camp McDonald Road.
3. Public Services and Utilities
The operation of a day care from the 2020 E. Camp McDonald building does not place any undue burden on
the public services and utilities. The current facilities are adequate and plentiful. The building is already
connected with the Mount Prospect Fire Department through its fire and burglar alarms.
In addition, the substitution of the current school operation with a day care operation and continuation of the
same use of the property would not diminish the service that the existing day care contributes to amenities
of the neighborhood. Families interested in relocation to a neighborhood might consider a local day care as
an added benefit. Thus presence of a day care in a given area my increase the appeal of that area and
maintain or boost real estate property values.
The proposed day care will not be a burden on the existing public facilities of the area.
4. Day Care Licensing
St. Dominick Day Care is aware of municipal and state regulations pertaining to operation of day cares. St.
Dominick Day Care is fully licensed by State of Illinois and City of Chicago for the operation of the day

care in its current location. Once the new location has been obtained St. Dominick Day Care will apply for
appropriate licenses. All applicable laws and ordinances will be followed to their fullest extent.
5. Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures
As parents or other authorized guardians arrive with their children they would park their car in the parking
lot. They would go to the main entrance and unlock the main door using their pre-assigned entrance code.
A suitable keypad will be mounted just outside the main entrance. Opening the door with the code will be
recorded in the day care computer log with a timestamp and id of the entering party.
A parent entering through the main door "behind" somebody else will be required to use one of the log-in
terminals in the lobby in order to perform the sign in procedure. This procedure will be equally quick and
will entail entering the pre-assigned parent code via a computer keypad.
The parent will then proceed with their children to their assigned classroom. The parent will undress their
child and bid him or her good bye.
In the afternoon, parents picking up their children would follow a similar procedure. They would also be
required to sign out using either an entrance keypad or a log-in computer station.
A routine pick up or drop off procedure is not expected to take more than 10 minutes.
6. Use of the Parking Lot
The current school operation at the property provides 15 outside parking spaces. It operates with 12 full
time employees and 2 part time employees. It cares for 60 children.
If St. Dominick Day Care ever reaches full desired capacity it will provide care for 72 children on
weekdays. In compliance with state and local laws, at that time it will employ 10 full time employees.
In addition to the existing 15 outside parking spaces St. Dominick Day Care will provide an additional
covered parking space within the garage attached to the building. Thus the total number of parking spaces
on the property would be increased to 16.
Although that is less than the 17 spaces required for such an operation by the city code we would like to ask
for a variance in this matter. We believe that the pick up and drop off patterns exhibited in similar day cares
will work well within the existing property infrastructure. The instituted pick up and drop off procedures
are designed to streamline the routine arrival and departure of children and their parents. The proposed
procedures should minimize adverse impact of day care operation on traffic in the neighborhood.
The day care would be opened on weekdays from 6:30 am to 6 pm. There are typically very few parents
that require early opening hours and/or late closing hours. Most parents would arrive with their children

within the two hour window from 8 am to 10 am. They would also pick up their children between 3:30 pm
and 5:30 pm. A handful might stay until 6 pm.
At the time of signing up for day care services parents must specify expected times of pick up and drop off
of their children. This declaration is absolutely necessary in order to ensure proper staff to children ratio at
all times. Because of this standard parent arrival and departure times can be predicted fairly accurately.
A routine pick up or drop off procedure is not expected to take more than 10 minutes. Assuming a full
licensed capacity of 72 children, the required staffing levels, a relatively normal distribution of parents
picking up and dropping off children during the peak hours, the following chart shows anticipated parking
occupancy throughout the day in 10 minute intervals.

children leave between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm. In the calculation only 5 children are shown to leave the day
care outside of this time window.
The number of staff present at the premises tracks the number of children needing supervision.
This exercise tracks normal day care operation fairly well. It demonstrates that the property would be able
to handle routine daily operation without any problems. The diagram shows that even during the busiest
drop off time, between 9 am and lOam, the parking lot would be able to handle the traffic. Furthermore,
during majority of the operating hours a significant portion of parking spaces would be unoccupied and
available.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
FEBRUARY 15, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-O 1-08 - CONDITIONAL USE AMENDMENT (PUD APPROVAL
3401 S. BUSSE ROAD
ARROW ROAD CONSTRUCTION, JOHN HEALY - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-Ol-08, a request to
amend the original Planned Unit Development approval, as described in the attached staff report. The Planning &
Zoning Commission heard the request at the January 24, 2008 meeting.
The Petitioner submitted plans to install two (2) asphalt silos that would not exceed 80-feet in height. There are
existing similar silos on-site that are used in the same manner, and also measure 80-feet in height. The site was
developed under Cook County regulations and the existing structures received zoning relief when the site was
annexed into Mount Prospect. However, construction of the proposed additional silos requires amending the
original zoning approval as the height of the proposed silos was not granted code relief as part of the original
approval.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the request and noted the fact that the Petitioner is in good
standing with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. There was brief discussion on how the silos would
be self-contained and would emit minimal, if any, emissions. The Petitioner clarified that the proposed silos
would be located further away from the property lines, almost in front of the existing silos. There was additional
discussion on IDOT's recently revised asphalt requirements, which was one of the reasons why the Petitioner was
requesting to install new silos, and how the request was in keeping with the existing site conditions.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the request to
amend the Conditional Use permit for the Planned Unit Development approval to allow the construction of two
(2) silos that measure no more than 80-feet from grade, for the property located at 3401 S. Busse Road, Case No.
PZ-Ol-08.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 19,2008 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Tollway, south of Addison Court, and consists of a construction storage yard with related improvements,
including multiple silos measuring 80-feet in height. The Subject Property is zoned II Limited Industrial Planned
Unit Development (PUD) and is bordered by the II District to the north and east, RX Single Family District
across Busse Road to the west, and an unincorporated area to the south.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner submitted plans to install two (2) asphalt silos that would not exceed 80-feet in
height. The silos allow for the storage of completed manufactured asphalt material that will be dispensed into
trucks and trucked off-site. There are existing similar silos on-site that are used in the same manner, and also
measure 80-feet in height. Ms. Connolly referenced a picture showing four silos.
Ms. Connolly stated when the site was annexed into Mount Prospect, the Village granted specific Variations for
existing site conditions that would allow the Petitioner to maintain the existing asphalt manufacturing/refining
operation. The Village Attorney reviewed the 1982 annexation agreement and ordinances granting zoning relief
and found that, although there are existing 80-foot asphalt silos that received zoning relief, the proposed new silos

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008

Page 2
were not included in the original zoning relief. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking to amend the original PUD
approval to allow for two (2) new asphalt silos that measure no more than 80-feet from grade.
Ms. Connolly said that the Subject Property does not meet the Village's current bulk regulations because there are
multiple structures that exceed the maximum 30-foot height limitation for the 11 District. Also, it appears several
of the material storage areas encroach into the required setbacks. However, as the site was developed under Cook
County regulations, and later annexed into the Village, the existing conditions were granted zoning relief and are
allowed to remain in their current state.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's request is considered a major change to the original PUD approval due to
the silos' height. As such, Staff reviewed the ordinance granting original PUD approval and the standards for a
PUD as listed in Sec. 14.504 of the Village Code. In order for the Village to consider the proposed major change
to the PUD, the request is required to continue complying with the PUD standards and the change has to meet
specific findings. Ms. Connolly summarized the following:
1. Except as modified by and approved in the final development plan, the proposed development complies
with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be located.
2. 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.
3. That the proposed Planned Unit Development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes
of this zoning ordinance.
4. That the streets have been designed to avoid:
a. Inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit development;
b. Traffic congestion in the streets which adjoin the planned unit development;
c. An 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 Staff found that the request is consistent with the original PUD approval because the operation
of the business and the physical on-site conditions will be in keeping with the original approval. The height of the
silos will not change the intent of the original PUD approval or increase the intensity of business operations.
Ms. Connolly stated that Staff conducted further analysis of the request because Conditional Use approval is
required for a PUD. The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning
Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. She
summarized these findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
. The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
. Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
. Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
Ms. Connolly said that the Subject Property is zoned Limited Industrial and an asphalt operation is a Conditional
Use in this district. The Petitioner received Planned Unit Development approval in 1982 to continue operating the

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-OI-08
Page 3
existing asphalt operation. However, the additional silos requires the amending the original approval as the height
of the proposed silos was not granted code relief as part of the original zoning approval.
Ms. Connolly stated that Staff reviewed the Petitioner's application, visited the site, and contacted the Illinois
Environmental Agency (IEPA) to clarify their approval process and understand the possible impacts of the
proposed silos. The IEPA confirmed the most recent inspection was done in May 2007 with no 'flags' noted. In
talking with the IEP A liaison, Staff learned that the Petitioner's proposal is not considered to be a large source of
air emissions: the tanks are designed to contain the product so there will be minimal impact on the adjacent
properties. Also, smaller scale projects such as the Petitioner's are inspected every two to three years unless the
agency receives complaints. However, there is recourse through the IEP A if anyone wishes to file a complaint.
Ms. Connolly stated that based on this information and the fact that the Petitioner is replicating existing
conditions; Staff found that the request would meet the Conditional Use Standards noted because the silos are
allowed under an existing EP A permit. The site is inspected on a regular basis and the Petitioner's request is not
considered a large source of air emissions. Therefore, the request would have minimal impact on the adjacent
properties. Also, the IEP A has a recourse system in place should residents find otherwise.
Ms. Connolly stated that the request to amend the original zoning approval to allow the construction of two new
80-foot tall asphalt silos meets the standards for a Conditional Use contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:
"To amend Ord. 3289 granting Planned Unit Development approval and allow two additional 80-foot silos, as
shown in the Petitioner's exhibit prepared by SEC Group, Inc., dated November 4,2007, for the business located
at 3401 S. Busse Road, Case No. PZ-OI-08."
Ms. Connolly said the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Rogers stated that there would be two new silos creating a total bank of six (6) next to the toll road
overpass on Busse Road in an industrial area.
Chairman Rogers swore in Kelly Cahill, Attorney for Arrow Road Construction, 50 Virginia Street, Crystal Lake,
IL and John Healy, President of Arrow Road Construction, 1726 Kay, Wheaton, IL. Chairman Rogers questioned
what the Petitioners would be doing with the silos. Mr. Healy gave a brief history of the company. He stated that
Arrow Road bought the 3401 S. Busse location in 1962. The property line originally extended to Oakton Street,
but the south half was sold when the property line was divided during the building of the tollway. Mr. Healy
described his positive relationship with the Village and contributions that Arrow Road has made to the Village.
Mr. Healy continued by saying that the original annexation agreement stated that Arrow Road would enhance and
promote the general welfare of the Village. He believes that the request tonight would do the same as the original
annexation agreement.
Mr. Healy referenced a handout provided to the commission in regards to the dimensions of the silos. These silos
are a quarter-inch roll steel cylinder measuring 65 feet in height from the deck to the top of the legs. They contain
a complete asphalt manufactured product (95% aggregate and 5% liquid asphalt). The silos sit over truck scales
and dispense the asphalt directly into the trucks.
Mr. Healy stated the purpose of adding two silos to create a total of six allows for operational flexibility and a
control over the final product inventory. Mr. Healy added that the addition of silos would not increase the
intensity of his operation. He also said that over the years, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has
requested changes of asphalt mixtures. There are different recipes or mixture designs. Each silo would contain a
different mixture. This is a seasonal business and different mixtures fill IDOT's needs and requirements.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-O 1-08
Page 4
Mr. Healy said that they are helping with the green initiative. The company is a member of the National Asphalt
Pavement Association and the Illinois Asphalt Pavement Association. Through these agencies, they are a
promoter of new mixes: poures asphalts, polymer modified asphalts, warm mixture asphalts, stone matrix
asphalts, polymer sand mixes, and advances in recycling. Their plant is used by IDOT to test these mixes.
Mr. Healy feels that the addition of silos would not create harm for the neighbors. Their current EPA permit
allows for construction up to eight silos. They are only requesting two to bring the total to six. The silos are to be
installed within the existing footprint of the plan. The two silos would be adjacent the two silos that are currently
in the middle. As the silos contain the product, there is not risk of dust, smoke, or anything hazardous.
Mr. Healy stated that the development of the silos complies with the regulations of the zoning district. The silos
are consistent with the principle use when the property was annexed in 1982. He stressed once again that the silos
would not increase intensity of the approved use. The silos would only help with the finished product inventory,
create operational flexibility, and would decrease waiting time.
Mr. Healy said that the petition seeks to replicate the silos currently on the property that measure 80 feet in height.
He referred to a letter that was provided by the National Asphalt Pavement Association. The letter stated that the
Association recognizes the plant as showing good practices.
Mr. Healy concluded by requesting the Commission's support be consistent with the Staff's recommendation.
Chairman Rogers stated that Arrow Road is a good neighbor and well represented in the community. He thanked
Mr. Healy for what they have done in the community. Chairman Rogers asked if there were any questions for the
Petitioner.
Joseph Donnelly asked if there would be a logo or other adverting placed on the silos. Mr. Healy advised that a
company logo would be placed on the silos. Mr. Donnelly clarified that no additional advertising would be placed
on the silos; Mr. Healy confirmed that was correct.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at
7:50 p.m.
Ronald Roberts made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-OI-08, a request to amend original Conditional Use
approval and Variations at 3401 S. Busse Road. Richard Donnelly seconded the motion.

RE: PZ-01-08/3401 S. Busse Road
Arrow Road Construction Co.
Dear Mr. Cooney:
The Planning and Zoning Committee recommended approval of our request to amend our Planned
Unit Development and allow the construction of two (2) asphalt storage silos, measuring no more than
80 feet from grade, by a vote of 4-0. Our request is scheduled to go before the Village Board for the
Ordinance's first reading on February 19,2008.
We are requesting that the Village Board waive the second reading, tentatively scheduled for March 4,
2008, and take final action at the February 19,2008 meeting. We are anxious to start the project as
soon as possible due to the seasonality of our business.
I appreciate your assistance in facilitating this request. Should you have questions or require additional
information, please feel free to contact me at (847) 437-0700.
Sincerely,

HEARING DATE:
JANUARY 24, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-O 1-08 - AMEND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL
3401 S. BUSSE ROAD (ARROW ROAD CONSTRUCTION)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 24, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Arrow Road Construction Company (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 3401
S. Busse Road (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking to amend its original Planned Unit
Development approval to allow two (2) asphalt silos not to exceed 80-feet in height. The P&Z Commission
hearing was properly noticed in the January 9, 2008 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 was developed under Cook County regulations and annexed into Mount Prospect in 1982.
It is located on the east side of Busse Road, north of the Northwest Tollway, south of Addison Court, and consists
of a construction storage yard with related improvements, including multiple silos measuring 80-feet in height.
The Subject Property is zoned 11 Limited Industrial Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is bordered by the 11
District to the north and east, RX Single Family District across Busse Road to the west, and an unincorporated
area to the south (Willow Way Trailer Park facility).
SUMMARY OF REVISED PROPOSAL
The Petitioner submitted plans to install two (2) asphalt silos that would not exceed 80-feet in height. The silos
allow for the storage of completed manufactured asphalt material that will be dispensed into trucks and trucked
off-site. There are existing similar silos on-site that are used in the same manner, and also measure 80-feet in
height.
When the site was annexed into Mount Prospect, the Village granted specific Variations for existing site
conditions that would allow the Petitioner to maintain the existing asphalt manufacturing/refining operation. The
Village Attorney reviewed the 1982 annexation agreement and ordinances granting zoning relief and found that,
although there are existing 80-foot asphalt silos that received zoning relief, the proposed new silos were not
included in the original zoning relief. Therefore, the Petitioner is seeking to amend the original PUD approval to
allow for two (2) new asphalt silos that measure no more than 80-feet from grade.

GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property does not meet the Village's current bulk regulations because there are multiple structures
that exceed the maximum 30-foot height limitation for the II District. Also, it appears several of the material
storage areas encroach into the required setbacks. However, as the site was developed under Cook County
regulations, and later annexed into the Village, the existing conditions were granted zoning relief and are allowed
to remain in their current state.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The Petitioner's request is considered a major change to the original PUD approval due to the silos' height. As
such, Staff reviewed the ordinance granting original PUD approval and the standards for a PUD as listed in Sec.
14.504 of the Village Code. In order for the Village to consider the proposed major change to the PUD, the
request is required to continue complying with the PUD standards and the change has to meet specific findings.
The following list is a summary of these findings:
1. Except as modified by and approved in the final development plan, the proposed development complies
with the regulations of the district or districts in which it is to be located.
2. 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.
3. That the proposed Planned Unit Development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes
of this zoning ordinance.
4. That the streets have been designed to avoid:
a. Inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit development;
b. Traffic congestion in the streets which adjoin the planned unit development;
c. An excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve
or are proposed to serve the Planned Unit Development.
Staff found that the request is consistent with the original PUD approval because the operation of the business and
the physical on-site conditions will be in keeping with the original approval. The height of the silos will not
change the intent of the original PUD approval or increase the intensity of business operations.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
Staff conducted further analysis of the request because Conditional Use approval is required for a PUD. The
standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven
specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary of
these findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
PZ-O 1-08
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
Page 4
· The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
· Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on
Village streets; and
· Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and
other Village Ordinances.
The Subject Property is zoned Limited Industrial and an asphalt operation is a Conditional Use in this district.
The Petitioner received Planned Unit Development approval in 1982 to continue operating the existing asphalt
operation. However, the additional silos requires the amending the original approval as the height of the proposed
silos was not granted code relief as part of the original zoning approval.
Staff reviewed the Petitioner's application, visited the site, and contacted the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (IEPA) to clarify their approval process and understand the possible impacts of the proposed silos. The
IEPA confirmed the most recent inspection was done in May 2007 with no 'flags' noted. In talking with the
IEPA liaison, Staff learned that the Petitioner's proposal is not considered to be a large source of air emissions.
The tanks are designed to contain the product so there will be minimal impact on the adjacent properties. Also,
smaller scale projects such as the Petitioner's are inspected every two to three years unless the agency receives
complaints. If anyone wishes to file a complaint, they would contact the Des Plaines Office at 847/294-4000 for
an immediate response.
Based on this information, and the fact that the Petitioner is replicating existing conditions, Staff found that the
request would meet the Conditional Use standards noted above because:
· the silos are allowed under an existing EPA permit (see attached exhibit in Petitioner's
application),
· the site is inspected on a regular basis, and
· the Petitioner's request is not considered a large source of air emissions.
Therefore, the request would have minimal impact on the adjacent properties, and the IEP A has a recourse system
in place should residents find otherwise.
RECOMMENDATION
The request to amend the original zoning approval to allow the construction of two new 80-foot tall asphalt silos
meets the standards for a Conditional Use contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Zoning Ordinance as noted
above. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:
"To amend Ord. 3289 granting Planned Unit Development approval and allow two additional 80-foot silos, as
shown in the Petitioner's exhibit prepared by SEC Group, Inc., dated November 4,2007, for the business located
at 3401 S. Busse Road, Case No. PZ-OI-08."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

1. Due to the current use of the subject property (the operation of asphalt manufacturing and
refining and related uses including rock crushing, concrete mixing and the maintenance of a
quarry), the establishment, maintenance or operation of the two (2) additional asphalt silos
will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general
welfare. The silos simply allow for additional storage of completed manufactured asphalt
material to dispense in trucks. The material is stored for no more than 20 consecutive hours.
Allowing the two additional silos will not increase the intensity of asphalt manufacturing
process, or material output of the plant, but will provide operational flexibility to meet
current IDOT specifications which have recently changed. Granting the applicant's request
for the two additional asphalt silos would be consistent with the existing permit issued from
the IEP A Division of Air Pollution Control, see attachment.
2. Because of the zoning and existing uses of surrounding property and the subject property (1-1
Light Industrial District), as well as the current conditional uses for the subject property, the
conditional use amendment will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property
in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and
impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is located. The height of the two
proposed asphalt storage silos, not to exceed 80 feet, does not exceed the height of the
current silos and will be located no closer to the neighboring property. In addition, there is
no proposed change to the existing land elevations, landscaping, paving or drainage pattern.
3. Ingress and egress to and from the property in question will not change from the existing
access point on Busse Road. Traffic flow has not been a problem in the past and the addition
of the two proposed silos will not increase traffic generated by the plant because the two
additional silos does not increase the material output of the plant.
4. Due to the current I-I Light Industrial District zoning and uses of surrounding property, the
establishment of the conditional use will complement the current uses of the subject property
and not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding
property for uses permitted in the district. The two (2) additional storage silos will be
consistent with the current uses allowed on the Subject Property.
5. Adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities are already in
place for the conditional use amendment being requested.
6. The proposed conditional use amendment is not contrary to the objectives of the Mount
Prospect comprehensive plan, which identifies the Subject Property as being planned for
industrial uses.
7. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the I-
I Light Industrial District as previously permitted by the Village ofMt. Prospect.

FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
FEBRUARY 15, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-03-08 - MAP AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE (TOWNHOME PROJE
1040 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY
VICTOR DZIEKIEWICZ, DESIGN BRIDGE, L TD - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-03-08, a request to
construct a 14-unit townhome development requiring Map Amendment and Conditional Use approval, as
described in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at the January 24,
2008 meeting.
The Property Owner previously employed another design firm, who appeared before the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the Village Board. After making numerous modifications to the project and retaining the
services of a different design firm, the Property Owner has submitted plans for a 14-unit townhome development.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request in detail and heard testimony from several
neighbors. The neighbors' concerns related to the density of the project, emergency vehicle access within the
development, the amount of proposed storm water detention, the impact of the development on the sanitary sewer
system, and guest parking on holidays and other special events.
Several of the Commissioners felt the proposal was an improvement over the previous submittal. They discussed
the elevations, the building materials, and the proposed 20-foot rear setback when Village Code required a 25-foot
setback. There was discussion about the amount of required storm water detention vs. the benefit of increasing
the capacity of the proposed vault by 25%. The Petitioner agreed to 'over-engineer' the site if there was a need or
a justification, and clarified that the proposed below grade storm water detention design would comply with the
Village Code requirements.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 3-1 to recommend that the Village Board approve:
1) a Map Amendment to rezone the property from Bl Business Office to R2 Attached Single Family
Residence;
2) a Conditional Use permit for a 14-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the conditions
listed in the staff report and the following additional conditions:
a. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall revise the landscape plan to include additional
landscaping along Northwest Highway (on private property);
b. Prior to Village Board review, the Petitioner shall work with the Mt. Prospect Park District to
identify an off-site improvement to meet the Public Benefit requirement;
c. Revise the engineering plans to increase the storm sewer vault capacity by 25%; and
PZ-03-08

d. The Home Owners Association Documents shall state that snow will be removed and deposited to
an off-site location.
Included with this packet is a memo from Project Engineer Chuck Lindelof, which provides an analysis of
providing 125% storm water detention for the project. Staff discussed the recommendation and found the need to
provide more storm water detention than the amount required by Village Code has not been established through
documented calculations, and originated from neighbors' complaints. Also, providing more detention than the
Village Code requires places a burden on this property unlike any other property in the Village. Therefore, staff
recommends the site be designed according to Village Code requirements.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
February 19, 2008 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: SENIOR PLANNER JUDY CONNOllY
FROM: PROJECT ENGINEER CHUCK L1NDElOF
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2008
SUBJECT: PZ-3-08; UNNAMED PUD
(1040 WEST NORTHWEST HIGHWAY)
We understand that the proposed unnamed Planned Unit Development (PUD) at 1040 West
Northwest Highway was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission
(P&Z) with the additional recommendation that 125% of the stormwater detention volume
typically required by the Village Code be installed. We have analyzed the site as part of our
review of the requested PUD, and find no reason to support the P&Z's recommendation for the
additional volume.
It must be understood that the Village Codes regarding stormwater detention have become
stricter since the State Farm site was first developed in 1988. The Code now incorporates more
accurate rainfall data, accounts for greater runoff rates, and allows for smaller restrictors. The
result of these changes is that stormwater runoff would be better controlled on the proposed site
than on the existing site and would actually have a positive impact on the neighborhood's
drainage system. See below:
State Farm Site
Proposed Development

Restrictor Size

Volume Provided
3"
0.63 cfs
0.35 ac-ft
2.5" (estimated)
0.41 cfs
0.50 (estimated)
34% slower
42% greater
The plans submitted for the P&Z review are not required to include final engineering details, so
we can only estimate the proposed restrictor size and storage volume. However, the design
submitted meets the Village Code, and represents a significant improvement over the existing
condition. Consequently, we recommend approval of the proposed development without the
requirement to provide the additional detention volume.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Marlys Haaland made a motion to approve the
minutes of the October 25, 2007 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved
3-0 with Chairman Rogers abstaining. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to continue Case Number PZ-38-07 to the
February 28, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting; Mr. Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was
approved 4-0. After hearing two previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-03-08, a request to
Rezone from B 1 to R2 attached Single Family and a Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development at 1040 W.
Northwest Highway, at 8:12 p.m.
Judith Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the developer arranged a meeting with interested parties on Monday,
January 21, 2008. Therefore, some of the information presented may be adjusted due to this meeting, however
the general concepts and the number of units remain the same. She said that the Subject Property is located on the
north side of Northwest Highway, between Dale and Forest Avenues. The site currently contains the vacant State
Farm office building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B1 Business Office and is
bordered by the RX Single Family District to the north and east, railroad tracks to the south, and by an R2
Attached Single Family Planned Unit Development to the west, the Villas of Sevres. The Villas development has
6.4 units/acre density and received zoning approval in 2002.
Ms. Connolly said the Property Owner previously employed another design firm, who appeared before the
Planning & Zoning Commission and the Village Board, seeking approval of a 17-unit townhome development.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-03-08
Page 2
After making numerous modifications to the project and retaining the services of a different design firm, the
Property Owner has submitted plans for a 14-unit townhome development.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Property is currently zoned B 1 Business Office. 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 6.7
units per acre (14 units/2.08 acres), which falls below the maximum density permitted within the R2 District.
Deducting the drive aisle as it is similar to a street, the site measures 1.77 acres, which is 7.9 units per acre.
Ms. Connolly said 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 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 clarified that if the Petitioner wanted to increase the amount of units or change the
design, they would need to go before the Village Board for review and approval.
Ms. Connolly stated that the site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the 14-unit townhome development. The
development would consist of: (2) 4-unit buildings and (2) 3-unit buildings. The Development will be accessed
from Northwest Highway and have one means of ingress/egress. The access aisle/driveway that loops throughout
the development measures 24-feet wide and allows for 2-way traffic throughout the development. The cul-de-sac
designs and required fire lane have been reviewed by the Fire Department and found to comply with the Village
Code requirements.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.9% lot
coverage, which is below the 50% limitation.
Ms. Connolly said the elevations indicate each building will have peaked roofs and each unit will have a front-
loading 2-car garage. The building materials for the exterior elevations will consist of stucco, two types of brick,
and Renaissance stone. Also, wood decks will be included on the rear elevation of all units.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner's proposal indicates that there will be multiple types of floor plans for the
townhomes. Each unit would include at least 3 bedrooms, with some floor plans including a loft. 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 proposes 14 guest parking spaces to be shared by the development; currently on-street parking is not
allowed on Northwest Highway. She said Village's Engineering Division reviewed the feasibility of creating on-
street parking along Northwest Highway and found it could be done, subject to IDOT approval and designing the
on-street parking in a manner that provides an unobstructed view for a motorist exiting the site. Ms. Connolly
said that the Petitioner did not include this in their proposal, but she wanted to clarify that this could be done per
IDOT's approval.
Ms. Connolly stated the Petitioner's landscape plan indicates that a variety of new landscaping materials will be
planted throughout the development. She mentioned that changes were made due to comments and feedback by
the neighbors at the meeting. The Petitioner will review the plan in greater detail during his presentation.
Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner has submitted preliminary storm water detention plans and is working with the
Village Engineer to document that the design will comply with Village Code regulations. A final design is will be
submitted as part of the Building Permit process, and the minor comments noted in the Staff report can be
addressed at that time as well.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-03-08
Page 3
Ms. Connolly stressed that the proposed development will be subject to all development requirements, as detailed
in Section 15.402 of the Village Code.
Ms. Connolly addressed comments from a meeting with neighbors. She contacted Public Works and learned that
this area is not a known problem area with respect to the sanitary sewer infrastructure. In fact, the area is rated
average or better. Also, the Village has been replacing pipes in poor condition. By the end of2008, all pipes in
Mount Prospect will have a rating of 3-2-or-l, with 5 being the worst. Ms. Connolly confirmed with the Project
Engineer that the new development is creating less impervious surface, which will put less water in the storm
system. The Petitioner can go into more detail if need be, but basically the new storm water detention will
improve current conditions.
Ms. Connolly stated that the property is located along a state highway, on a commercial corridor. It is adjacent to
a townhome development (Villas of Sevres), and single family residences. The Comprehensive Land Use Map
designates the Subject Property as Single Family Residential, and the development is consistent with a townhome
development approved by the Village Board in 2002.
Ms. Connolly said 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.
Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Property is adjacent to an existing townhome development and 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.
Ms. Connolly said 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.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-03-08
Page 4
Ms. Connolly stated that the proposal is consistent with the recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map.
Also, the townhomes are in keeping with previously approved redevelopment projects in this area of the Village.
The development has been designed in a manner that provides safe access to and from the development.
Ms. Connolly said 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 Bl Business Office to R2 Attached Single Family Residence;
2) a Conditional Use permit for a 14-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the following:
A. Development of the site in general conformance with the site plan and landscape prepared by Design
Bridge, revision date to be confirmed;
B. Development of the units in general conformance with the floor plans prepared by Design Bridge,
revision date January 14,2008;
C. Development of the elevations in general conformance with the site plan prepared by Design Bridge,
revision date January 14,2008;
D. 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;
E. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit homeowner's
association documents for Staff review and approval; and
F. The Petitioner shall construct all units according to all Village Codes and regulations, including, but
not limited to: the installation of fire sprinklers, fire hydrants and roads must be located and
constructed according to Development and Fire Code standards."
Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case, 1040 W. Northwest Highway, Case
No. PZ-03-08.
Chairman Rogers requested that the building elevation be displayed as it did not match the elevation in his
Commission packet. He said there seemed to be some differences as the peak roof and garages look different and
that there is no stucco shown on his elevation, it is all brick.
Joseph Donnelly suggested that the view on sheet A-I.3 (dated January 14, 2008) is an angle view, this would
explain why Chairman Rogers is not able to view the sides. Chairman Rogers said the peaked roofs are not the
same. Ms. Connolly checked the materials on sheet A-l.3 and said the Petitioner could discuss why there is
possibly a discrepancy in the rendering elevation. Chairman Rogers said there is brick on the projection and
stucco on the back wall. Ms. Connolly stated that is correct.
Chairman Rogers swore in Victor Dziekiewicz, Principal of Design Bridge, Ltd, 1415 W. Grand Avenue,
Chicago, IL, and his assistant, Jacob Swindler, 1232 W. Huron, Chicago, IL.
Chairman Rogers asked if there is a different elevation shown in the Staff's presentation than the copy of the
elevation provided to the Commission. Mr. Dziekiewicz explained that they should be the same. He said that this
development is unique unlike most developments set in rows. The proposed elevation rotated the buildings so
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008
PZ-03-08
Page 5
they're offset from one another. The 3D view is a clear representation of what will be seen on site. This would
be a different than looking head on. Stucco would only be used in a small area; the rest of the sides, front, and
back would be two (2) different colors of brick.
Chairman Rogers mentioned that this was an innovative design and was surprised in the way everything fit while
providing neighbors with some green space. Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that he did review Village tapes of previous
meetings and he spent time listening to the things that were said. There is more yard space between the proposed
development and the neighbors on the East and West side. He took a cue from Northwest Highway and created
the rotation of the site, and he was able to squeeze the development in. The facades facing the neighbors would
not just be flat, but would be staggered so there would be a significant amount of expression rather than having
just a plain wall. The original proposal included 17 units and he believes 14 is a good compromise for the project
to be viable; anything less would not work for his client.
Mr. Dziekiewicz briefly discussed the 3D view. There would be 10 "A" units, 2 "B" units, and 2 "C" units. The
basic "A" units are a standard 3 bedroom layout. The living day functions on the ground level with parking. The
bedrooms would be upstairs. The units contain a 2 car garage with an additional two parking spots on the
driveway. The buildings are staggered to create private entryway and each unit faces its own driveway. The "B"
and "C" units vary with the option of having the master bedroom on the ground floor.
Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that he met with neighbors and wanted to address some of their concerns. He discussed
the landscaping and stated that all units would have basements. The escape windows and air conditioning unit
would be in the back of the unit, the decks measure 12' x 18'. He also mentioned the circular turn area in the
development would be the area for underground detention. He stated that the water on the property would go
through a restrictor and would be designed according to the Village requirements and the requirements of dealing
with a 100 year storm.
Mr. Dziekiewicz said that emergency vehicle access works with the Fire Department equipment. He created a
template for the Fire Department to review and it provided ample maneuvering room, meeting Code requirements.
Mr. Dziekiewicz reviewed the plan for the existing trees and created a new landscape plan. Concerns were raised
from the townhome neighbors to the West, this allowed the Petitioner to change the type of shrubberies. He also
stated that trees and bushes would shield the auxiliary parking area for the neighbors. He said that the proposed
landscaping will contain more green space that is currently on the property.
Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that the setback on the East side is 50 feet; the last proposal was at 40 feet. He also
mentioned that there is a 30 foot set back on the West side. He added that the setbacks are greater in this new
proposal and asked if any of the Commission members had a question.
Chairman Rogers mentioned that there was little landscaping along Northwest Highway. He said more parkway
trees were needed along with more landscaping in the 30 foot setback. Ms. Connolly mentioned that the Village
would require that trees be planted, by the Village, on the parkway at the developer's expense. The trees would
be planted during the spring or fall Village planting schedule.
Mr. Donnelly asked what the price range is on the townhomes. Mr. Dziekiewicz said between the low $500,000s
and middle $600,000s. Mr. Donnelly mentioned that part of the PUD requires that there has to be a benefit to the
community, he asked Staff how this requirement was met. Ms. Connolly said that in the past, Petitioners have
been allowed to make a donation to the Park District for improvements to a local park. She asked that the
Petitioner have this benefit prepared prior to the Village Board meeting.

Mr. Donnelly noticed that the rear setback requirement for R2 is 25 feet and the proposed setback is 20 feet. He
wanted to know if we needed to include this as part of the amendment; Ms. Connolly said she would look into
this. Mr. Donnelly stated that this set back was indicated on a chart in the Staff report on page 4.
Mr. Donnelly continued and referred to page A-l.O of the Petitioner's packet. He asked if the 14th parking space
is handicap or if the parking is 14 plus one additional handicap space. Jacob Swindler confirmed there are 14
spaces; they had to remove a handicap space due to the lot coverage limitation requirements. Mr. Donnelly asked
the Petitioner to adjust the exhibits accordingly.
Ms. Connolly advised that she received e-mails from the neighbors and stated that they were included in the
Commission's packet. Chairman Rogers confirmed that these would be submitted into the records.
Chairman Rogers swore in Mary Simon, Vice President for the Homeowner's Association, 803 W. Isabella,
Mount Prospect, IL. Ms. Simon stated that she is representing the association and its concerns. She stated that
she met with the Petitioner on Monday, January 21 and mentioned that the Petitioner has only covered a few
items. She said that the first zoning change on the property was for State Farm and now there is a request to have
the zoning changed again to multi-family units that use to be Yz acre lots. She stated that prior to State Farm, the
whole neighborhood was zoned RX Single Family.
Ms. Simon's biggest concern is density. She said that in the past, there were 17 units proposed and that the
Village Board said that was too much. She mentioned that the Village Board said the highest amount it would
allow on the site would be 14. She agreed with the previous mention of 12 units or under, 14 units are too many.
Ms. Simon feels that the Village is using the townhomes (Villas) to the West as precedent for the area. She feels
that multi-family developments are going to continue in the area based on previous cases. She said that when the
Villas were built, only one property was affected. This proposal directly affects nine homes and the entire
neighborhood. She is concerned with the storm sewers and water. Water is backed up all the time and the
neighborhood was built over a creek. She said sump pumps are constantly going off and fears the addition of 14
townhomes (laundry, dishes, toilets, bath, etc.) would tax the system.
Ms. Simon told the Petitioner that she is still confused on the location of the windows, and location of the air
conditioning units. She also said the last time this property went to Village Board that the Police Department
wanted a fence. A fence is not addressed in this proposal and she is confused by what the Village wants. Other
concerns included snow removal and where would cars be placed if all the parking spaces were filled. She states
that extra cars would park in the neighborhood with people cutting through yards.
Ms. Simon said she learned that the storm water goes through the neighborhood as mOT does not allow it to go
to Northwest Highway. She said the plans on the garages included a 19' x 19' size. She spoke with an
architectural student and questioned what size a garage should be. She found out that the minimum size should be
20' x 22' and stated that the Petitioner is making the smallest garage to say it's a 2-car garage. She has additional
concerns on the real estate market, and believes that a couple units may sell and fears the remaining would
become rentals.
Ms. Simon calculated the lot coverage on her own by using the buildings, decks, and parking spaces. She came
up with 50% coverage and wants the numbers that the Petitioner provided to be checked. Ms. Simon disagrees
that this development is compatible with the neighborhood. She briefly discussed the elevations and what the
neighbors would eventually see from their point-of-view. She concluded by stating that this new proposal is
much better than what was submitted in the past, but still believes that 14 units is too dense and it will be a
detriment to the neighborhood.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008

Chairman Rogers wanted to clarify the lot coverage. Ms. Connolly said the calculations are based on the
Petitioner's information and her understanding is the road is included when figuring out lot coverage; she asked
the Petitioner to verify. Mr. Dziekiewicz says that he is able to accurately measure lot coverage with today's
computer technology, and that 49.9% is correct. Ms. Simon said that she is confused because she added the
square footage of every building and ended up with 50%. She also wanted to clarify an error stating that page A-
1.0 in the Petitioner's packet contains an error, this page states that there are 12 "A" units as opposed to the
correct number of 10. Mr. Dziekiewicz confirmed that square footage is dimensional as it would include the 2nd
story, etc. Ms. Simon said she now understood the Petitioner's calculations.
Chairman Rogers swore in Tim Fulk, 1003 Isabella, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Fulk stated his property backs up to
the proposed location and has been following the project since previous proposals at neighborhood meetings. He
said that it is difficult to develop the site. According to Mr. Fulk, other townhome developments that have been
approved have never been to 7 single family homes in the RX zoning district. He discussed the possibility of
having 11 or 12 units as this would increase the distance from the lot lines and create more green space. Mr. Fulk
concluded by stating that he wants quality and not quantity, and he urged the developer to build fewer units.
Chairman Rogers swore in Paul Glombowski, 206 MacArthur, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Glombowski wanted to
reinforce some of the objections that were discussed by his neighbors. He is concerned with the proposed
development being surrounded by the RX zoning. He said the current proposed property does not have a pass
through access road like the adjacent townhomes (the Villas). The proposed site is landlocked. He forecasted a
worst case scenario in which parking over busy holidays would obstruct emergency response equipment. He
disagrees that there is adequate turning room for emergency vehicles.
Mr. Glombowski stated that the Fire Department was doing drills last summer on the State Farm site. He advised
them not to spray water as the lot would fill up as it does not drain fast. He mentioned that there is currently a
restrictor that services the Northwest Meadows Association. He believes that this is plugged up as it fills up fast
and drains slower than a 2.5 inch restrictor would normally allow. Mr. Glombowski also disagrees with the
Public Works assessment stating that the sewer and sanitary lines are average or better. He stated that the
additional taxing on the 50 year old system would cause expensive repairs and believes that Staff and the
Commission should talk to Public Works.
Ms. Connolly clarified that she spoke with the Water Superintendent, who stated that they are currently working
on a spot repair program, where Public Works is lining four to five miles of sewer a year. This is a CIP project
with over $3 million spent to correct worst case scenarios. They use a scale of 1-5 to classify the condition of the
pipes with 3,2,1 (average to best) and 4's and 5's are the worst. Public Works projects there will be no pipes
worse than a 3 by the end of2008.
Chairman Rogers asked when the Villas were built, he said the water went to through the neighborhood. Mr.
Glombowski advised no. He said the sewer from State Farm goes directly through his property. Chairman
Rogers asked again where does the water run from the Villas? Mr. Glombowski said down Dale Avenue (the
other direction from the surrounding neighborhood). Mr. Glombowski continued by stating that with the storm
last summer, there was a lot of water overflowing at the State Farm building. He said most of the storm water
was absorbed by the surrounding properties with the exception of one neighbor. Chairman Rogers clarified that
there would be more green space on the proposed property than the current amount. Mr. Glombowski stated that
he is aware of the change, but not certain it will do its job and has his doubts. Mr. Glombowski concluded by
stating that the Staff recommends that this proposal be accepted, and he disagrees vigorously.
Ms. Simon mentioned Meadows Pool and the giant basin that was installed to catch the water. She stated that
they had to re-design the parking lot to be a retention basis. She wanted to know if these 14 units had the same
problem. What would be done to fix it? She said the site is landlocked and wanted to know what the Petitioner
would do.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting January 24, 2008

Chairman Rogers swore in Lou Sbarboro, 702 French Way, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Sbarboro said he is
concerned with parking. He never heard anything about anyone seeking to put parking on Northwest Highway.
He briefly discussed his safety concerns with traffic turning onto Northwest Highway and was surprised to hear
that this subject came up. Chairman Rogers said this is not an option being proposed, but he does know people
are looking into this is as a possibility, and he understood Mr. Sbarboro's concerns.
Mr. Donnelly stated that he drove through the Villas and asked where the homeowners park extra cars when
residents have parties. He noticed that there isn't substantial parking on their property. Mr. Sbarboro said that the
subdivision is a unique situation; families allow others to park on each others' driveways and it all works out.
Chairman Rogers swore in Jean Spejcher, 202 MacArthur, Mount Prospect, IL. She stated that her backyard has
the largest impact to the proposed development. Her concern is about the water and she stated that she does
understand that there will be more green space. She said with the addition of 14 units, there is going to be more
need for the water to be absorbed. She concluded by stating that the proposed development will have higher
needs and feels there will be an imbalance in the current system.
Chairman Rogers asked if there were any other questions from the audience. Hearing none, he asked the
Petitioner to address questions raised by the neighbors. He asked the Petitioner what they have done to protect
the homeowners: Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that the parking lot would be its own detention pad. Currently, there is
a substantial non-permeable surface. He suggested that the current restrictor on the site may not be working. He
tried to maximize the side yard spaces so that they could be as far away from the homes as possible, and they also
created as much green space as possible.
Mr. Dziekiewicz also wanted to clarify and separate the sewer system and the water detention system, even
though they will eventually connect. He said that they are considered separate from an engineering stand point.
The vault and inlets are designed for a storm. Storm water will eventually end up in the system, but the vault was
built to allow it to enter the system at a slower rate. Mr. Dziekiewicz said by creating a great amount of
permeable space, the significant amount of rain water will go away as it was intended to if there was no
development at all. When storage for natural percolation would not be sufficient, that is when the inlets would
take over and water runs into the storm system vault. The water would be contained on-site and would flow at a
rate it is intended to be compatible with a 100 year storm.
There was brief discussion on water that would enter the sewer system.
Chairman Rogers mentioned the biggest problem seems to be storm water. He asked the Petitioner how much
acreage feet is in the vault. Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that his engineer was not at the hearing, but the overall size of
the vault is 21,800 cubic feet. Based on the plans, the vault looks like it measures 60' x 50'. Chairman Rogers
asked if the poured concrete vault could be increased by 25% more than what is required.
There was a brief discussion about possibly increasing the size of the vault by 25%.
Mr. Dziekiewicz said he would need to discuss this with his Civil Engineer, but would consider increasing the
size of the vault if there was a valid need to do so. Chairman Rogers said increasing the vault size would allow
water to stay on the site for a longer period of time.
Chairman Rogers asked about the 19' x 19' size of the garage stating that 20' x 20' is usually the minimum size.
Mr. Dziekiewicz stated that he has a 19' x 19' garage and it works out fine. Mr. Donnelly asked to confirm that
there was a separate area in the garage for garbage and recycling containers. The Petitioner stated that there is an
area for the containers and it is not included in the 19' x 19' dimension.

Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner about snow removal. Mr. Dziekiewicz replied that the homeowners'
association documents could be written to require off-site snow removal. Chairman Rogers asked if this could be
made a requirement; the Petitioner agreed to the condition.
Mr. Donnelly asked if the Police Department required a fence, he stated that the Developer would have to install
due to specifications provided by the association. Mr. Dziekiewicz asked Staff if they knew if a fence was
required or not. Ms. Connolly said that the Police made a recommendation for a fence with the last proposal as a
way to deter crime or a cut through. They did not make this comment this time. Ms. Connolly questioned if the
Police Department did not address this matter on this submittal since neighbors strongly objected to a fence last
time. Mr. Donnelly said he remembered the discussion. Mr. Dziekiewicz said if a fence would be required, it
would be installed.
Chairman Rogers asked for a motion to include the increase of the storm sewer detention be increased by
approximately 25%. Mr. Donnelly added in the benefit for the community.
Ms. Connolly repeated the additional conditions of approval:
A. Install additional landscaping along Northwest Highway;
B. Note a 20-foot rear setback;
C. Identify the public benefit before Village Board review;
D. Increase the storm vault capacity by 25%; and
E. Require the association to remove snow off site.
Ms. Connolly asked if anything else needed to be added. Mr. Donnelly asked about the fence requirement; Ms.
Connolly stated that she would confirm with the Police Department. Chairman Rogers said the consensus with
the Petitioner and neighbors is no fence, which he supports.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-03-08, the rezoning of 1040 Northwest Highway
from Bl to R2 attached single family and to approve a Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development with the
conditions listed in the Staff Report and the additional conditions agreed upon tonight and just noted by Staff, for

HEARING DATE:
JANUARY 24, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-03-08 - MAP AMENDMENT & CONDITIONAL USE (PUD TOWNHOME
DEVELOPMENT)
1040 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY - VICTOR DZIEKIEWICZ (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the January 24, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review
the application by Victor Dziekiewicz (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 1040 W. Northwest
Highway (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking: 1) to rezone the Subject Property from Bl Business
Office 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 January 9, 2008 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 on the north side of Northwest Highway, between Dale and Forest Avenues. The
site currently contains the vacant State Farm office building with related improvements. The Subject Property is
zoned Bl Business Office and is bordered by the RX Single Family District to the north and east, railroad tracks
to the south, and by an R2 Attached Single Family Planned Unit Development to the west, the Villas of Sevres.
The Villas development has 6.4 units/acre and received zoning approval in 2002.
SUMMARY
The Property Owner previously employed another design firm, who appeared before the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the Village Board, seeking approval of a 17-unit townhome development. After making
numerous modifications to the project and retaining the services of a different design firm, the Property Owner
has submitted plans for a 14-unit townhome development. The various elements of the proposal are outlined
below:
Rezoning Request - The Subject Property is currently zoned B 1 Business Office. 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 6.7
units per acre (14 units/2.08 acres), which falls below the maximum density permitted within the R2 District.
Deducting the drive aisle as it is similar to a street, the site measures 1. 77 acres, which is 7.9 units per acre.
PZ-03-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 24, 2008
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 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
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 l4-unit townhome development. The
development would consist of 4 townhome buildings: (2) 4-unit buildings and (2) 3-unit building. Each of the
townhome 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 24-feet and allows for 2-way traffic throughout the
development. Also, the plan reflects the Fire Department's requirements for a Fire Lane throughout the site.
Building Design - The enclosed elevations indicate the architectural composition of the townhomes. Each
building will have peaked roofs and each unit will have a front-loading 2-car garage. The building materials for
the exterior elevations will consist of stucco, two types of brick, and Renassance stone. Also, wood decks will be
included on the rear elevation of all units, and the buildings will be staggered, creating a sense of privacy.
Site Access - The proposed site plan indicates that the development will be accessed from Northwest Highway
and have one means of ingress/egress. The access aisle/driveway that loops throughout the development provides
access to the individual driveways.
The Petitioner included a turning radius plan to demonstrate that Emergency Vehicles can access the site. The
Petitioner's Engineer worked with the Village Fire Marshal to ensure the site allows access for the Department's
vehicles. The enclosed plan documents that the vehicle will be able to safely enter and exit the site.
Parking - The Petitioner's proposal indicates that there will be multiple types of floor plans for the townhomes.
Each unit would include at least 3 bedrooms, with some floor plans including a loft. 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 proposes 14 Guest Parking Spaces to be shared by the development; on-street parking is not allowed on
Northwest Highway. However, Engineering reviewed the feasibility of creating on-street parking along
Northwest Highway and found it could be done, subject to IDOT approval and designing the on-street parking in
a manner that provides an unobstructed view for a motorist exiting the site.
Lot Coverage - The Petitioner's site plan indicates that the project would have approximately 49.9% lot coverage,
which is below the 50% limitation.
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.
Preliminary Engineering - The Petitioner has submitted preliminary storm water detention plans and is working
with the Village Engineer to document that the design will comply with Village Code regulations. A final design
is typically submitted as part of the Building Permit process. However, the following comments were noted and
Engineering noted the issues are fairly minor, and can be worked out as part of the Building PermitlReview
process:
1. The parkway trees are not shown, and may be in conflict with the proposed driveway. If the driveway
cannot be modified to accommodate the tree, it will have to be removed and a fee for replacement paid by
the Developer.
PZ-03-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 24, 2008
Page 4
2. Revised landscape plans indicate shrubs to be planted in the cul-de-sac island. However, it is under this
island where underground storage chamber for stormwater detention shall be installed. It is unclear if
sufficient space would be provided above the detention chamber to allow for the planting of the shrubs;
the final design must address this concern.
3. A fee shall be paid for new parkway trees, which shall be planted by the Village. The number, type, and
locations of the trees shall be determined by the Village and can be addressed at time of building permit
application.
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. The comments noted above represent a cursory review, and are provided as a
courtesy to facilitate the submittal, review, and approval of the plans for a Building Permit.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The property is located along a state highway, on a commercial corridor. It is adjacent to a townhome
development (Villas of Sevres), and single family residences. The Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the
subject properties as Single Family Residential, and the development is consistent with a townhome development
approved by the Village Board in 2002.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
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;
· 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.
PZ-03-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting January 24, 2008
Page 5
. 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 and 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.
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 recently updated Comprehensive Land Use Map. Also, the townhomes are in
keeping with previously approved redevelopment projects in this area of the Village and the proposal complies
with the R2 Zoning District regulations. The development has been designed in a manner that provides safe
access to and from the development.
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 B 1 Business Office to R2 Attached Single Family Residence;
2) a Conditional Use permit for a 14-unit townhome Planned Unit Development subject to the following:
A. Development of the site in general conformance with the site plan and landscape prepared by Design
Bridge, revision date January 14,2008;
B. Development of the units in general conformance with the floor plans prepared by Design Bridge,
revision date January 14,2008;
C. Development of the elevations in general conformance with the site plan prepared by Design Bridge,
revision date January 14,2008;
D. 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;
PZ-03-08

E. Prior to obtaining the first Certificate of Occupancy, the Petitioner must submit homeowner's
association documents for Staff review and approval; and
F. 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, 1040 W. Northwest Highway, Case No. PZ-03-08.

Judy-
Thank you for forwarding the memo. I believe we have responded to
all of the concerns outlined except the general issue of density.
We have prepared the following statement which we will read at the
beginning of our presentation. Our powerpoint slides will include
the changes listed. I am forwarding it to you in case you wish to
include it in your memo to the P&Z board.
On Monday January 21 we met with neighbors from the Meadows
Association to the Northwest and the Villas development to the East
of our site. We have made the following changes and corrections to
our proposal in response to feedback we received at this meeting.
On sheet A-1.0 the unit count for the 'A' -type units has been
corrected to 10 units, from the 12 units previously indicated. The
summary of total square footage for the development has been
correctly reduced to 31,736 sqft which results in an updated FAR of
0.35.
On sheets A-1.2 and A-1.3 we have identified the area of each deck
and included the proposed location of AC condensers. We have also
added basement window wells for each unit.
On sheet L-1.1 we relocated the hedges on the East side of the site
to provide extra space for existing arborvitae at the Villas and to
extend the row of arborvitae along the south end of their fence. We
removed the Gazebo structure from the center of the cul-de-sac. We
have also added information indicating the proposed species of new
plants.
Thank you.

Dear Planning & Zoning Commission,
My name is Jan Ramion and I live at 715 French Way, the Villas adjacent to
1040 Northwest Hwy.
I attended the Neighbor/Architect/Owner meeting held Monday, January 21. The
following points are of concern to me regarding the 14-unit townhouse
development:
+ Looking at eight units along our property line, while we have three
units that face that same area. Density is still an issue.
+ The plans to date did not address the placement of window wells
and a/c units.
+ The question of snow storage was raised and they agreed land was
limited so snow removal will have to be part of the association
requirements. The Villas has several areas for our snow storage
yet we did have to have snow removed once due to large snowfalls.
It was very expensive. Why set up a community with that type of
problem situation?
I still feel that this is not the best plan for this parcel.
Sincerely,
Jan Ramion

For tonight's Zoning Board Meeting
Dear Zoning Board,
Re: Proposed development at 1040 West Northwest Highway
The surrounding residents met with the architect and owner (at their request) for the
proposed development on January 21st to discuss the project before the zoning board
meeting. I will be out of town on Thursday so I would like to convey my concerns to the
Board via this email.
The residents of the Villas have many of the same concerns of Nancy Fritz and the
neighbors - that the density of the project is too much for this inlet of land - with only
one access - surrounded by 1/2 acre homesites and the 7 villas on the corner.
We are still concerned since there are still unanswered questions like the window wells -
they are not shown yet the architect says there will be basements - but he is not sure
where window wells will be.
He is not sure where he will put the air conditioning units - he said they might be placed
on the decks - but he was not exactly sure.
The quality of building materials is yet to be determined by the builder.
The Villas of Sevre residents are primarily concerned with:
1. The 2 rowlike massive structures of the eight townhomes adjacent to our property.
2. Architect/Owner assured us that their proposed bushes along our fence line - will not
be too close to our fence - so as to kill our arborvitae.
3. They also assured us that they would plant arborvitae along the remainder of our fence
on their proposed site so as to shield us from the massive row structures.
Thank you for listening.

Concerned Neighbors
I have summarized the comments made during the meeting in the bullet point list below. I have
included our response in bold. We plan to address several of the issues prior to the planning and
zoning meeting on January 24th.
Issues Raised Durina the Meetina
. The unit count listed on sheet A-1.0 for Type A units is listed incorrectly as 12, it should read 10.
We will correct this error prior to the P&Z meeting.
. The density of housing on the site is too high. Neighbors are concerned that this will create
traffic congestion and will overload the existing sewer system.
We cannot reduce the number of units beyond what has been done already. The project
currently meets all standards for traffic, and parking required by village ordinances. The
sewer system was designed by our engineer to accommodate a worst-case condition.
The storm water retention vault was designed to handle a 1 OO-year storm event. This has
been reviewed by village engineers and has been deemed capable of supporting the
anticipated load.
· The fire lane and cul-de-sac are too small to accommodate village fire services. The problem
could be compounded if people park in the fire lane.
We have prepared a fire-truck simulation using data provided by the Mt. Prospect fire
department. The fire department has reviewed our plans and confirmed that our roadway
will meet their needs. Although we understand the concern that individuals may illegally
park in the fire lane, many possible situations can be conceived. We design our project
with the assumption that residents will obey village laws.
· The location of the cul-de-sac and off-street parking will create light pollution for neighbors on
the NorthEast corner of the site.
We have designed landscaping along the East and North sides of the site to prevent
headlights from projecting past our lot line. Our design calls multiple layers of evergreen
shrubs and trees, which our landscape architect has confirmed, will be sufficient to stop
the light. I will update our landscape plan to clarify the species of plantings prior to the
January 24th meeting.
· There is insufficient parking provided for each town home. The parking space and garage
space provided are too small. Overflow parking is insufficient for the density of housing.
We have designed the parking to meet village ordinances for both size and number.
Individuals who require more than four parking spaces or require exceptionally large
parking spaces are not in our target market for this kind of product. Providing additional
off-street parking would force a reduction in landscaping and would negatively impact
the quality of this development.
· Snow storage is not explicitly identified in the plan.
The resident association will need to contract with a snow removal company to remove
the snow for off site disposal.
· The quality of materials to be used in the development is unclear.
We will prepare a sample of materials, which have been used in past, similar, projects.
This will, at the latest, be available for the village board meeting on Feb. 19.
· Basements are not detailed in the plan. Escape window wells are not shown.
Basement plans are not required for review by the planning and zoning committee. We
will update our elevations and site plan to identify locations of the escape window wells
prior to the meeting on January 24th.
· Landscaping on the West side of the site should not crowd the existing fence or impact the
existing arborvitaes. The neighbors request we plant arborvitaes along the south end of the
west property line.
We will update our landscape plan to address these concerns prior to the meeting on
January 24th.
· The air-conditioning condensers are not identified on the plans.
We will update our plans to locate the air-conditioning condensers prior to the meeting
on January 24th.
· The village has requested a fence be installed in prior plans. The neighbors would prefer to not
have a fence so long as security is not considered an issue.
If the village requests that a fence be installed we will update our plan to accommodate
their request. Unless that happens we will proceed without a fence.

TO: MAYOR AND VILLAGE BOARD
FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2008
SUBJECT: AMENDED HISTORICAL SOCIETY LEASE AGREEMENT
The Village of Mount Prospect (Village) owns certain property commonly known as
101-103 South Maple Street (site) located in the Village, which is the site of the Mount
Prospect Historical Society (Society) Museum and ancillary structures. A ninety-nine (99)
year lease between the Village and Society has been in place since 1989. The Society
has been in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease since its inception.
With the impending move of the Central School House to the Site, the Village and Society
felt it was in the best interest of both parties to review and update the existing Lease
Agreement. The original Lease term (99 years) and location (101-103 South Maple
Street) remains unchanged. Changes to the amended Lease Agreement capture the
existing and future conditions at the site and minor clarifications as to the rights and
responsibilities of the parties.
The Society has already voted favorably to amend the Lease. Staff recommends that the
Village act likewise to approve the amended Lease Agreement.

AMENDMENT TO LEASE
101-103 SOUTH MAPLE STREET, MOUNT PROSPECT
This Amendment is made this _ day of , 2008, between
the Village of Mount Prospect, an Illinois municipal corporation (the "Village")
and the Mount Prospect Historical Society, formerly known as the Mount
Prospect Historical Society of Elk Grove and Wheeling Townships, an Illinois not-
for-profit corporation (the "Society"). (The Village and Society are sometimes
referred to as "Party" or "Parties.")
RECITALS.
The Village and the Society previously entered into a Lease dated March 7,
1989, (the "Lease"), for the leasing of premises, being Village-owned property
located at 101-103 South Maple Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois; and
The Parties desire to amend the Lease by rewriting it in its entirety, except for the
term and location, which will remain unchanged.
BACKGROUND
The Village and the Society have had a long history of cooperation and
mutual support, which has included periodic monetary grants from the Village to
the Society. The Village had pledged to support the Society in its search for a
permanent site for Society offices and an historical museum. To that end, the
Village purchased the property commonly known as 101-103 South Maple Street,
Mount Prospect, Illinois from the First Chicago Bank of Mount Prospect.
Proceeds for the purchase of that property were the result of a fund-raising
campaign co-sponsored by the Village and the Society. The fund-raising
campaign also sought to establish an operations and maintenance fund to
underwrite the cost of renovating and restoring a single-family home of historical
significance and constructing an Education Center on the site. In addition, the
Village has given the Society an annual grant for its operational support and the
Society has provided its annual reports to the Village's Board of Trustees on the
Society's events and activities.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Lease. The Village hereby leases to the Society, and the Society
hereby leases from the Village, the real property commonly known as 101-103
South Maple Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois, along with all buildings and
structures, which include, but are not limited to, a single-family house, a carriage
house, and an Education Center, as well as the Central School building, which is
to be relocated to 103 S. Maple Street, all as depicted on the Site and Demo

(99) years, beginning March 1, 1989, and ending February 29, 2088 (the
"Term"). At the expiration of the Term of this Lease, the Parties may, upon
mutual agreement, extend this Lease for an equal or lesser time period under
terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the Parties (the "Extended Term.")

building on the Premises without first obtaining written consent of
the Village.
f. Materials. The Society shall not use, store or allow to remain in or
on the Premises any flammable and/or environmentally hazardous
materials.
g. The Society Not To Misuse. The Society shall not permit any
unlawful practice, with or without its knowledge or consent, to be
committed or carried on at the Premises by itself or any other
person. The Society shall not allow the Premises to be used for any
purpose that will increase the rate of insurance thereon, nor for any
purpose other than that hereinbefore specified.
8. Licenses and Taxes. The Society shall pay all license fees,
income taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, payroll taxes, and any other kind of taxes
arising from and relating to Society's activities. The Society shall, at all times,
maintain its not-for-profit designation and tax-exempt status with the appropriate
governmental authorities. The Society shall supply to the Village, annually,
evidence of such designation and status. In the event that the Society does not
maintain its not-for-profit designation and tax-exempt status, and as a result, the
Village loses its tax-exempt classification of the Premises with regard to real
estate taxes, the Society shall be solely responsible for the payment of same.
Because real estate taxes are paid a year later than they are assessed, this
covenant and condition shall survive the termination of the Lease and shall
remain an obligation of the Society. The Society has the right to appeal any
decision by the Cook County Assessor's Office regarding the real estate taxes,
all at its expense.
9. Utilities. The Society, as its sole expense, shall provide, or shall
otherwise pay for, when due, all costs for all utilities and other services on or to
the Premises including but not limited to elevator service, electricity, gas,
telephone, cable, heating, janitorial, security and grounds keeping (excluding
water and sewer charges, and as noted in paragraph 7(a)) and shall also pay all
charges for utility installation and modification thereto occasioned by its
requirements. So long as the electrical service costs for the Premises are waived
under the Village's franchise agreement with Commonwealth Edison, or other
iManage:202701_1
4
electric provider, the Society shall not be responsible for payment of said costs.
However, should that waiver cease, the Society will be responsible for payment
of its electrical costs. The Village shall be responsible for regularly scheduled
garbage pick-up except that special pick-ups or dumpsters, which are required as
part of any ongoing restoration or repair, shall be the responsibility of the Society.
The Village shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by or
resulting from any interruption or failure of said services due to any causes
whatsoever.
10. EQuality of Opportunity/Nondiscrimination. The Society shall
comply with all federal, state and local laws and ordinances prohibiting
discrimination in employment unless lawful based upon a bona fide occupational
qualification. The Society shall comply with the provisions set forth in the EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CLAUSE required by the Illinois Department of
Human Rights as a material term of all public contracts, see Title 44, Part 750,
Section 750, APPENDIX A, Illinois Administrative Code, Equal Employment
Opportunity Clause.

injury to the Society, or any other person, or to any property,
including but not limited to museum collections, artifacts, exhibits,
private collections on loan to the Society, files, records, and

the extent that such damage or injury is caused by any negligent or
willful act or omission of the Village. All personal property of the
Society that may be on the Premises during the Term or Extended
Term, if any, shall be at the sole risk of the Society, and the Village
shall not be liable to the Society, or to any person on the Premises,
for loss or damage to such property, or for loss of income in the
event of fire or other casualty, which prevents the Society from
operating. The Society agrees to assume, pay and at all times
indemnify, protect and save harmless the Village from any liability
or damages to any person or property upon or about the Premises,
in any way related to this Lease or caused by the acts, actions,
omissions or property of the Society or its agents, licensees or
invitees, except to the extent that such liability or damages are
caused by any negligent or willful act or omission of the Village.
b. Insurance. During the term of this Lease, and any Extended Term,
if any, the Village shall maintain general comprehensive liability, fire
and extended coverage insurance in the amount and within the
limits of the plan then in force at the time of any casualty. No other
insurance coverage of any kind whatsoever maintained by the
Village is required under this clause.
iManage:202701_1 5

including contents and liability coverage, with limits of not less than
$1,000,000.00 for injury or death from one accident and $100,000.00
property damage, insuring the Village and the Society, among other
things, against injury to persons or damage to property on or about the
Premises. In addition, excess coverage shall be maintained with limits of
not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate. The
Village shall be named as an additional insured on said policies, which
coverage shall be primary and in no event considered contributory to any
insurance purchased by the Village. Such insurance will not be canceled,
reduced, or materially changed without providing the Village thirty (30)
days advance written notice, via certified mail.
12. Subleasino and Assionments. This Lease contemplates no
subleasing by the Society. This Lease may not be assigned.
13. Condemnation. If the whole or any part of the Premises is
condemned by any public entity, this Lease shall cease as to the part

not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking or any payment in lieu
thereof, but the Society may file a claim for moving expenses and relocation
costs.
14. Destruction of Buildino. In the event that a building or structure on
the Premises shall be rendered uninhabitable by fire, other casualty, or
government determination or adjudication, the Village may, at its sole option,
terminate this lease, or repair the building or structure within sixty (60) days, and
failing so to do, or upon the destruction of the building or structure by fire or other
casualty, the Lease term hereby created shall cease.
15. Termination. In the event that the Society defaults in the
performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements and
such default is not corrected within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from the
Village or such shorter period as may be reasonable under the circumstances; or
defaults in the performance of a provision, covenant, or agreement after notice
on three (3) or more occasions within a two (2) year period; or if the Society shall
vacate the Premises, request release from its duties, file a petition in bankruptcy
or otherwise become the subject of bankruptcy or receivership proceedings; or
should the Society materially change its organization or its character so as to
constitute a de facto assignment, or come under the dominion of another entity to
the degree that its operations, judgments or commitment to acting as a historical
society and museum are diminished, this Lease may be terminated at the option
of the Village. In the event of termination, all personal property of the Society
shall remain property for distribution according to the By-Laws of the Society.
iManage:202701_1
6
To terminate the Lease, the Village shall send notice of termination by
certified mail or deliver the same to the Society at the address provided pursuant
to Section 18, and all of the estate, right, title and interest of the Society in the
Premises shall cease effective thirty (30) days from service of the notice. The
Village may then reenter the Premises.

equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to, or built into, the
Premises at the commencement of, or during the Term or Extended Term, if any,
shall become and remain a part of the Premises and shall be deemed the
property of the Village, without compensation or credit to the Society and shall
not be removed by the Society at the expiration date unless the Village requests
their removal.
16. Holdover. Should the Society remain in possession of the Premises
following expiration of the Lease Term or Extended Term, if any, the Society shall
pay the Village a holdover payment of one hundred ($100.00) dollars each day
until possession is delivered to the Village. Such a holdover payment does not
constitute a new lease term or acceptance by the Village of a new or additional
lease term of any kind, and no provision in this clause shall constitute a waiver by
the Village of any right of re-entry or any other right the Village holds, including
the right to forfeit for a breach of any of the covenants in this Lease.
The Village shall not be liable for any damage caused by the Society's
holdover, nor shall this lease be void or voidable, but the Society shall not be
liable for any holdover payments until possession is delivered.
17. Liens. The Society shall at all times indemnify, save and hold
harmless the Village and keep the Premises free and clear from any claims,
liens, charges, encumbrances or litigation arising directly or indirectly out of the
occupancy or use of the Premises by the Society, or of any work performed,
material furnished or obligations incurred by the Village and shall keep the
Premises free and clear of all mechanics' or material men's liens. The Society
shall give the Village notice of any claim of lien filed, and in such event shall
immediately cause the proper proceedings to be instituted to test the validity of
the lien claimed thereby and in case any lien shall be found to exist, the Society
will pay and satisfy and cause the release thereof within thirty (30) days after the
date of such final judgment and/or decree.
18. Notices. Written notices, rental payments, requests and grievances
shall be made to the Village at the following address: 50 South Emerson Street,
Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056; Attention: Village Manager.
Written notices to the Society shall be made at the following address: 101

address by giving the other five (5) days' notice in writing.
19. Attorney's Fees and Confession of Judqment. In case suit should
be brought by either Party against the other for recovery of the Premises, or for
any sum due hereunder, or because of any act which may arise out of the
Society's possession of the Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all
costs incurred in connection with such action, including a reasonable attorney's
fee.
20. Force Maieure. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for action
to be taken by the Village or the Society, they shall not be liable or responsible
for, and there shall be excluded from computation for any such period of time,
any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war,
governmental laws, regulators or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind
whatsoever which are beyond the control of the Village or the Society,
respectively.
21. Miscellaneous Matters.
a. This Lease may only be modified by agreement of the parties in
writing.

compliance with the terms and conditions of this Lease by the

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 (RT A) for assistance
with a public transportation system plan through the Regional Technical Assistance Program (RTAP). 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 (CTA, 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 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 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.
RTAP Public Transportation System Plan
July II, 2007
Page 2
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, f)
3) project budget, and 4) a signed resolution by the Village, authorizing the filing of the application and execution L.:&>~
of the required Technical Assistance Agreement (TSA). When a consultant is selected, the Village will then need Ac..ll (
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.

CONTRACT DECISION - RTAP GRANT
SUBJECT:
Background
The RTA's Regional Transportation Assistance Program (RTAP) provides technical and/or financial
support to selected municipalities or governmental agencies for transit planning projects that enhance
transit. RT A support may be provided as funding for comprehensive transit planning and market
research studies, innovative approaches to improve access to local transit facilities, or new institutional
arrangements to address emerging transportation needs within non-traditional markets. The Village of
Mount Prospect was notified that the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) awarded $125,000 to
conduct a Mount Prospect Public Transportation System Study. The Village must provide a 25% match
of the RT AP assistance.
Bid Results
The Village of Mount Prospect released a Request for Proposals in November and received seven
responses to the request.
Company Cost
Vlecides Schroeder $97,407
SCB $105,630
DLK $108,981
Tylin International $123,313
Trans Systems $124,794
EDAW $154,622
Images, Inc. $211,434
An interview team reviewed the proposals and scheduled interviews with three of the consultants.
The team eliminated the following consulting:
· EDAW's proposal was eliminated because the scope of work was not defined.
· V3's proposal was over budget for this project.

· DLK's proposal did not have consistent costs and did not have a scope of work.
· SCB had the wrong project in the proposal.
The Village interviewed TranSystems, Vlecides Schroeder, and Tylin International.
Discussion
The criteria established for the consultant selection was: understanding of project scope, timeline, GIS
data delivery, cost, and the variety of data utilized to understand the demands of the transportation
system. The interview team determined that Tran Systems best met the criteria established for
selection and therefore recommend that the Village enter into a contract with Tran Systems for an
amount not to exceed $124,794.47. $24,958 has been budgeted by the Village of Mount Prospect for
2008 to meet the match requirement.
Recommendation
Attached is a Technical Service Agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and the Regional
Transportation Authority and a Professional Service Agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect
and Tran Systems to complete the public transportation system study. Both documents are required
by all RTAP grant recipients. The Technical Service Agreement must be signed and returned for its
signatures from the RTA before the Village fully executes the Professional Service Agreement (Le.
obtain signatures from Tran Systems). Please forward this information to the Village Board on February
19, 2008. Staff recommends approval and will be present to answer any questions.

extent they are noncancellable. The acceptance of a remittance by the RTA of any or all Project

ineligible purpose;
( e) The Recipient is unable to substantiate the proper use of funding provided to the
R T A pursuant to paragraph 7.1;

Agreement;
(i) The RTA determines that the purposes of the applicable governing laws would not
be adequately served by continuation of state or federal assistance to the Project;

forwards the final Agreement payment or when an appropriate refund of R T A Agreement funds has

Scope of Services
VilIaee of Mount Prospect Public Transportation Study
Project Description:
The project is a Public Transportation System Plan evaluating the current level of service,
usage, and access to Pace, Metra, and bicycle routes for the Village of 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 this 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.
Project Location:
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 the City of Prospect Heights,
on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve and the Village of Des Plaines, on the south
by the Village of Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village, and on the west by the Village of
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 'h mile radius
of the station site.

EXHIBIT C
CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5323(n), the following certifications and assurances have been
complied to cover all grants and agreements that include Federal Transit Administration
("FT A"), Illinois Department of Transportation ("IDOT") and/or Regional Transportation
Authority ("RTA") assistance programs. Twenty-Five (25) Categories of certifications and
assurances are listed below by roman numerals I through XXV. Category I applies to all
Grantees. Category II applies to all applications exceeding $100,000. Categories III through
XXV will apply to and be required for some, but not all, Grantees and projects and will be
indicated with an "X" as needed.
The R T A and the Grantee understand and agree that not every provision of these certifications
and assurances will apply to every Grantee or every project for which the RTA provides federal
financial assistance through an agreement. The type of project and the section of the statute
authorizing federal financial assistance for the project will determine which provisions apply.
The terms of these certifications and assurances reflect applicable requirements of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU), Pub. L. 109 -59, Aug. 10,2005.
The Grantee also understands and agrees that these certifications and assurances are special
pre-award requirements specifically prescribed by federal law or regulation and do not
encompass all statutory and regulatory requirements that may apply to the Grantee or its project.
A comprehensive list of those Federal laws, regulations, and directives is contained in the current
FTA Master Agreement MA(13) for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 (the "Master Agreement") at the
FTA website http://fta.dot.gov/documents/13-Master.doc. The certifications and assurances in
this document have been streamlined to remove most provisions not covered by statutory or
regulatory certification or assurance requirements.
Because the number of provisions that could flow down to subrecipients are so extensive, the
FT A has removed the partial list of provisions pertaining to subrecipients formerly included
within certifications and assurances for various specific programs to preclude a
misunderstanding that those provisions listed fully encompass all federal provisions that may be
imposed on a subrecipient. As a result, the FTA and the RTA strongly recommends that each
Grantee, that will be implementing projects through one or more subrecipients, secure sufficient
documentation from each subrecipient to assure compliance, not only with these certifications
and assurances, but also with the terms of the Agreement for the project, and the Master
Agreement incorporated therein by reference. Each Grantee is ultimately responsible for
compliance with the provisions of these certifications and assurances irrespective of participationgin the project by any subrecipient.

XXIV. ADDITIONAL FTA CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES
Section 24-1 Definitions
As used in Sections XXIV and XXV of these certifications and assurances:
A. "Agreement" means the agreement between the RTA and Grantee to which these
certifications and assurances are appended as an exhibit.
B. "Government" means the government of the Vnited States of America, the State of
Illinois and the R T A.
C. "Project" means the studies, demonstrations, and/or development projects described in
the Grantee's approved application, for which grant funds are intended to be provided
pursuant to this Agreement.
D. "Project Cost" means costs, eligible for reimbursement or payment under the
Agreement, incurred by the Grantee and/or its contractor(s) in performing the Project.
Section 24-2. Project Implementation
A. Grantee's Responsibility to Extend Federal Requirements to Other Entities.
(1) Entities Affected. Only the entities that are signatories to the Agreement are parties to
the Agreement. To achieve compliance with certain federal laws, regulations, or directives,
however, other Project participants, such as subrecipients and third party contractors, will
necessarily be affected. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to take appropriate measures necessary
to ensure all Project participants .comply with applicable federal requirements affecting their
M:\databases\ctap\FT A _IDOT Certifications 3 14 2007.DOC
30
performance.
(2) Documents Affected. The applicability provisions of federal statutes, regulations, and
directives establishing each federal requirement determine the extent to which that requirement
affects a Project participant. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to include adequate provisions to
ensure that each Project participant complies with those federal requirements. In addition, the
Grantee also agrees to require its third party contractors and subrecipients to include adequate
provisions to ensure compliance with applicable federal requirements in each lower tier
subcontract and subagreement financed in whole or in part with financial assistance provided by
the FTA, through the RTA, under the Agreement. Additional requirements include the
following:
(a) Third Party Contracts. Because Project activities performed by a third party
contractor must comply with federal requirements, the Grantee agrees to include appropriate
clauses in each third party contract stating the third party contractor's responsibilities under
federal law, regulation, or directive, including any necessary provisions requiring the third party
contractor to extend applicable requirements to its subcontractors to the lowest tier necessary.
When the third party contract requires the third party contractor to undertake responsibilities for
the Project usually performed by the Grantee, the requirements applicable to the Grantee
imposed by the Master Agreement and the Agreement for the Project must be included in that
third party contract and extended throughout each tier to the extent appropriate. Additional
guidance pertaining to third party contracting is contained in the FT A's "Best Practices
Procurement Manual." FTA cautions, however, that its "Best Practices Procurement Manual"
focuses mainly on third party procurement processes and may omit certain other federal
requirements applicable to the work to be performed.
(b) Subagreements. Because Project activities performed by a subrecipient must be
carried out in accordance with federal requirements, the Grantee agrees to include appropriate
clauses in each sub agreement stating the subrecipient's responsibilities under federal law,
regulation, or directive, including any necessary provisions requiring the subrecipient to impose
applicable federal requirements on other Project participants to the lowest tier necessary. When
the subagreement requires the subrecipient to undertake primary responsibilities for the Project
usually performed by the Grantee, the requirements applicable to the Grantee imposed by the
Agreement for the Project must be included in that subagreement and extended throughout each
tier to the extent appropriate.
B. No Government Obligations to Third Parties. The Grantee agrees that, absent the
Government's express written consent, the Government shall not be subject to any obligations or
liabilities to any subrecipient, third party contractor, or other person not a party to the Agreement
in connection with the performance of the Project. Notwithstanding that the Government may
have concurred in or approved any solicitation, sub agreement, or third party contract, the
Government has no obligations or liabilities to any party, including any subrecipient or third
party contractor.
Section 24-3. Ethics
M:\databases\ctap\FT A_IDOT Certifications 3 142007 .DOC
31
A. Code of Ethics. The Grantee agrees to maintain a written code or standards of conduct that
shall govern the performance of its officers, employees, board members, or agents engaged in the
award. or administration of third party contracts or subagreements supported by federal
assistance. The code or standards of conduct must provide that the Grantee's officers,
employees, board members, or agents may not solicit or accept gratuities, favors, or anything of
monetary value from any present or potential third party contractor or subrecipient or agent. The
Grantee may set minimum rules for insubstantial financial interests or gifts of unsolicited items
of nominal intrinsic value. The code or standards of conduct must prohibit the Grantee's officers,
employees, board members, or agents from using their positions in a manner that creates a real or
apparent personal or organizational conflict of interest or personal gain. The code or standards
of conduct must include penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by the
Grantee's officers, employees, board members, or agents, or by the Grantee's third party
contractors or subrecipients or their agents as permitted by State or local law or regulations.
(1) Personal Conflicts of Interest. The Grantee's code or standards of conduct shall prohibit
the Grantee's employees, officers, board members, or agents from participating in the selection,
award, or administration of any third party contract or subagreement supported by federal funds
if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when an
employee, officer, board member, or agent, including any member of his or her immediate
family; partner; or organization that employs, or intends to employ, any of the parties listed
herein has a financial interest in the firm selected for award.
(2) Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The Grantee's code or standards of conduct must
include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational conflicts of
interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be
performed under a proposed third party contract or subagreement may, without some restrictions
on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third party contractor or
subrecipient or impair its objectivity in performing the contract work.
B. Debarment and Suspension. The Grantee agrees to comply, and assures the compliance of
each third party contractor and subrecipient at any tier, with Executive Orders Nos. 12549 and
12689, "Debarment and Suspension," 31 V.S.C. 9 6101 note, and V.S. DOT regulations,

regulations and other requirements the RTA or the FTA may impose. Use of financial
institutions owned at least 50 percent by minority group members is encouraged.
C. Documentation of Proiect Costs and Program Income. The Grantee agrees to support all
costs charged to the Project, including any approved services contributed by the Grantee or
others, with properly executed payrolls, time records, invoices, contracts, or vouchers describing
in detail the nature and propriety of the charges. The Grantee also agrees to maintain accurate
records of all program income derived from Project implementation, except certain income
determined by FT A to be exempt from the general federal program income requirements.
Section 24-5. Record Retention and Access
A. Record Retention. The Grantee agrees to maintain intact and readily accessible all data,
documents, reports, records, contracts, and supporting materials relating to the Project as the

and to audit the books, records, and accounts of the Grantee and its subrecipients pertaining to
the Project.
Section 24-6. Civil Rights
A. Equal Employment Opportunity. The Grantee agrees to comply, and assures the compliance
of each third party contractor and each subrecipient at any tier of the Project, with all equal
employment opportunity (EEO) requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 V.S.C. ~ 2000e, and 49 V.S.C. ~ 5332 and any implementing requirements FTA

(b) If the Grantee is required to submit and obtain Federal Government approval of its
EEO program, that EEO program approved by the Federal Government is incorporated by
reference and made part of the Agreement. Failure by the Grantee to carry out the terms of that
EEO program shall be treated as a violation of the Agreement. Upon notification to the Grantee
of its failure to carry out the approved EEO program, the RTA or the Federal Government may
impose such remedies as it considers appropriate, including termination of federal financial
assistance in accordance with the Agreement, or other measures that may affect the Grantee's
eligibility to obtain future federal financial assistance for transportation Projects.

36
(1) Except for its own internal use, the Grantee may not publish or reproduce subject data in
whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Grantee authorize others to do so
without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as the Federal
Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public.
(2) The restriction on publication of Subsection 24-9.b(1) of these Certifications and
Assurances, however, does not apply to an agreement with an institution of higher learning.

out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data
furnished under the Project. The Grantee shall not be required to indemnify the Federal
M:\databases\ctap\FT A _IDOT Certifications 3 14 2007.DOC
37
Government for any such liability caused by the wrongful acts of federal employees or agents.

Grantee may find it necessary to provide data developed without any federal funding or support
to the Federal Government. The requirements of Subsections 24-7.B, 24-7.C and 24-7.D of
these certifications and assurances do not apply to data developed without federal funding or
support, even though that data may have been used in connection with the Project. Nevertheless,
the Grantee understands and agrees that the Federal Government will not be able to protect data
from unauthorized disclosure unless that data is clearly marked "Proprietary" or "Confidential."
H. Statutory Requirements to Release Data. To the extent required by V.S. DOT regulations,
"Vniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations," at 49 C.F.R. ~ 19.36(d), or by

Section 5332, the Grantee agrees to comply with applicable Federal statutes,
executive orders, regulations, and Federal policies, including the U.S. Department
of Labor regulations entitled, "Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs,

Employment Opportunity,"') that may in the future affect construction activities
that are undertaken in the course of this Project. The Grantee agrees to take

treated during their employment, without regard to race, color, creed, sex, age, or
national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment
advertising, layoff or termination, rates of payor other forms of compensation; and
selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Grantee also agrees to comply
with any implementing requirements that the FT A may issue.
B. Illinois Human Rights Act - The Grantee shall comply with the "Equal Employment
Opportunity Clause" that the Illinois Department of Human Rights requires. It is
understood that the term, "contractor," shall also mean "Grantee." The Equal Employment
Opportunity Clause reads as follows and shall apply to the Project:
The Grantee may be declared ineligible for future contracts or subcontracts with the
State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal corporations, if the
Grantee fails to comply with any provisions of the Illinois Equal Employment
Opportunity Clause and/or the Illinois Human Rights Act Rules and Regulations of the
Illinois Department of Human Rights (hereinafter "Department" for this subsection
only). The Agreement may be wholly or partly canceled or voided and other sanctions
or penalties may be imposed or remedies invoked as statutes or regulations have
provided. During the Grantee's performance of the Agreement, the Grantee agrees as
follows:
1. That it will not discriminate against any employee or Grantee for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, ancestry,
age, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or unfavorable discharge from
military service. It will also examine all job classifications to determine if
minorities or women are underutilized and take appropriate affirmative action to
rectify any underutilization.
2. That, if it hires additional employees to perform this contract or any portion of it,
the Grantee will determine the availability (under the Department's Rules and
Regulations) of minorities and women in area(s) where it may reasonably recruit
M:\databases\ctap\FT A_lOOT Certifications 3 14 2007.DOC
43
and hire for each job classification that employees are hired, in a way that
minorities and women are not underutilized.
3. That the Grantee will state that all Grantees will be given equal opportunity without
discrimination based on color, race, religion, sex, national origin, sexual
orientation, ancestry, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or
unfavorable discharge' from military service in all solicitations or advertisements
for employees placed by it or on its behalf.
4. That the Grantee will send a notice to each labor organization or workers'
representative that has a collective bargaining agreement or other agreement or
understanding that binds the Grantee, to advise them of the Grantee's obligations
under the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Department's Rules and Regulations.
If a labor organization or representative fails or refuses to cooperate with the
Grantee in its efforts to comply with the aforementioned Act and Rules and
Regulations, the Grantee will promptly notify the Department and the contracting
agency and recruit employees from other sources when necessary to fulfill its
obligations thereunder.
5. That the Grantee will submit reports that the Department's Rules and Regulations
have required, furnish all relevant information that the Department or contracting
agency may request from time-to-time, and fully comply with the Illinois Human
Rights Act and the Department's Rules and Regulations.
6. That the Grantee will allow the contracting agency and Departmental personnel to
access all relevant books, records, accounts, and work sites to determine its
compliance with the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Department's Rules and
Regulations.
7. That it will include this section's provisions verbatim or by reference in every
subcontract it awards, under which any portion of the contract obligations are
undertaken or assumed, so that these provisions will bind the subcontractors. In the
same manner as with other provisions of these Certifications & Assurances, the
Grantee will be liable for its subcontractors' compliance with 'this clause's
applicable provisions and will promptly notify the RTA and IDOT if any
subcontractor fails or refuses to comply with these provisions. The Grantee will
also not use any subcontractor that the Illinois Human Rights Commission declares
ineligible for contracts or subcontracts with the State of Illinois or any of its
political subdivisions or municipal corporations.
C. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise ("DBE") - To the extent required by federal law,
regulation, or directive, the RTA encourages all of its grantees to make a good-faith
effort to contract with "DBEs." Grantees who receive more than the minimal federal
assistance threshold (currently $250,000 in FT A capital and operating funds, exclusive
of funds for transit vehicles purchases, see 49 CFR Part 26.67, or $100,000 in planning
funds) agree to facilitate participation of disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) as
follows:
1. The Grantee agrees to comply with current U.S. DOT regulations at 49 CFR
Part 26, including any amendments thereto that may be issued during the term of
the Agreement.
2. The Grantee agrees that it shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any U.S. DOT-assisted
M:\databases\ctap\FTA_IDOT Certifications 314 2007,DOC
44
contract. The Grantee agrees to take all necessary and reasonable steps under
49 CFR Part 26 to ensure that eligible DBEs have the maximum feasible
opportunity to participate in U.S. DOT-assisted contracts. The Grantee DBE
program, if required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by U.S. DOT, is
incorporated by reference into the Agreement. Implementation of this program is
a legal obligation, and the RTA shall treat failure to carry out its terms as a
violation of the Agreement. Upon notification to the Grantee of its failure to carry
out its approved program, U.S. DOT may impose sanctions as provided for under
49 CFR Part 26.
3. The Grantee agrees to include the following clause in all of its agreements and in
of its third party contracts funded wholly or partly with Governmental assistance:
"The Grantee or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, or sex in the performance of this (contract or agreement). The
contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the
award and administration of U.S. DOT assisted (contracts or agreements).
Failure by the (contractor, or subcontractor) to carry out these requirements is a
material breach of the (contract or agreement), that may result in the termination
of this (contract or agreement) or such other remedy as the RTA deems
appropriate. "

Assembly or the federal government). If any such governmental agency fails to approve this
Agreement (if approval is required by the governmental agency), appropriate such funding or
provide such funding, the Village may terminate this Agreement and the Contractor will be
entitled to receive, as its sole and exclusive remedy, compensation for Services properly
performed to the date of termination to the extent the Village has funds available and
appropriated to pay the Contractor such amount. Upon the request of the Contractor, the Village
will inform the Contractor as to whether any governmental agency other than the Village is
providing funding to pay all or a portion of the Contract Sum and the status of approval of this
Agreement by any such agency. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any
funding agreement between the Village and a governmental agency providing funding to pay all
or a portion of the Contract Sum, the terms of such funding agreement will control.

circumstances that the Village believes to be an Event of Default and will allow the Contractor a
reasonable amount of time to proceed to cure such Event of Default (which period of time will
be no more than thirty (30) calendar days). If the Contractor has failed to proceed to cure the
Event of Default within such cure period, the Village may declare the Contractor to be in default;
provided, however, if such Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the cure period,
the Village may, in its sole discretion, allow the Contractor additional time in which to cure such
Event of Default so long as the Contractor diligently pursues such cure.
Written notification of any decision of the Village to declare the Contractor in default
will be provided to the Contractor, and such decision will be final and effective upon the

all materials accumulated in the performance of the Services, whether
completed or in process, to the Village.
12.4 Remedies Nonexclusive. The remedies under the terms of this Agreement are
not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy
will be cumulative and will be in addition to any other remedies, existing now or hereafter, at
law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any Event of Default will impair any such right or power, nor will it be construed as a waiver of
any Event of Default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
12.5 Right of Authority to Terminate. The Village may terminate this Agreement at
any time hereafter, with or without cause, by giving seven (7) days' written notice to the
Contractor at the address specified in Section 13.7. Termination will be effective upon the
expiration of such seven (7) day period or on such other date as mutually agreed by the parties.

the Contractor's profit based on the portion of Services then performed to the total Services that
would have been performed.

the Contractor (a "Stop Work Order"), require the Contractor to stop all or any part of the
performance of Services required by this Agreement for a period of up to ninety (90) days after
the Contractor receives a Stop Work Order. Upon receipt of the Stop Work Order, the
Contractor will comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize costs for
Services covered by the Stop Work Order during the period of work stoppage. Within a period
of ninety (90) days after the Contractor's receipt of a Stop Work Order, or within any extension
of that period to which the Contractor and the Village have agreed in writing, the Village will
either cancel the Stop Work Order, or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.
Provided this Agreement has not theretofore been terminated, the Contractor will resume
performance of Services upon cancellation or expiration of any Stop Work Order. An equitable
adjustment will be made in the Contract Sum if the Stop Work Order causes a demonstrable
increase in the time required for performance of the Services and/or in the Contractor's costs in
performing such Services, as the case may be.

Public Transportation System Plan
Scope of Work
Project Management
Steering Committee Review of Draft Deliverables: While the Steering Committee will provide comments on the draft
summary reports and products, all of these products will remain in draft form throughout the course of the project and
will not be revised, except where noted. Any portions of these products that are incorporated into the Final Report
will include relevant comments from the Steering Committee. The only deliverable from the scope of work that will be
considered "final" is the Final Report.
Steering Committee Flow of Comments: All Steering Committee comments on the draft deliverables should be
provided directly to the Village of Mount Prospect. The Village will then consolidate all comments and contact
Steering Committee members as needed to clarify issues or resolve any conflicts. One set of comments for each
draft deliverable will then be presented to the consulting team. As noted above, any portions of the draft deliverables
that are incorporated into the Final Report by the consulting team will include relevant comments made by the
Steering Committee.
Project Kick off and Define Work Plan
At the project kick off meeting, we will work with the Steering Committee to an agreed upon scope of work and
schedule. This is important to make sure that all parties are entering the project with a shared expectation and vision
of the work to be done and the process under which it will proceed. The schedule will reflect a time completion of
between twelve and sixteen months. The schedule will identify proposed meeting dates with the Project Team and
the public.
Oeliverables:
. Scope of work
. Schedule indicating important meeting dates and completion date
Task1: Public Involvement
Steering Committee
The TranSystems team will meet with the Steering Committee that has been established for the project. The Steering
Committee will consist of local residents, Village staff, elected officials, and members of the RTA/Metra/Pace. This
group would meet approximately six times at project milestones. The Steering Committee will meet at the project
kickoff, before and after public workshops and to discuss and approve interim work elements and products.
Public Workshops
Exhibit B-Professional Consultant Services Agreement
between the Village of Mount Prospect and Tran Systems
Page lof I
Three public workshops will be held during the development of the Public Transportation System Plan. The
workshops will be facilitated to gain best advantage of the ideas that are present and to keep the focus on issues that
relate to the development of modal plans and multi-modal issues.
Vision Workshop
The initial public workshop, called a "vision workshop" will be held early in the project. It would be held once initial
data collection is done and some preliminary research was gathered. It will be designed to solicit input from the
community - both residents and business owners- about the needs of the transportation system in Mount Prospect
and potential redevelopment opportunities in the STAR Line station area. Input regarding unmet needs given the
current system will be sought and the public will be gauged as to the type of development that is desirable in the
STAR Line station area.
System and Station Area Plan Workshop
When the preliminary public transportation system plan and station area plan is developed, another public workshop
will be held to present the draft concept plans for both Tasks 4 and 6 and seek comments and refinements from the
public. At this point in the project, significant public input will be sought.
Planning & Zoning CommissionNillage Board Meeting
A final public meeting will be held once the conceptual plans are completed and the draft report is written. This
meeting will be in the form of a presentation to the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Village Board. A joint
meeting between the commission and the board may be possible.
Task 2: Collect and Analyze Existing Conditions - Public Transportation
Data Collection
The TranSystems team will begin by reviewing the body of information that is available to support this project:
· Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map
· Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Map
. Village of Mount Prospect Corridor Design Guidelines
All of these studies, and other relevant studies, will be reviewed by the consultant team for issues, data and insight
for this project.
The TranSystems team will work directly with Pace, Metra and the RTA in order to collect the necessary data and
assess existing transportation conditions.
A GIS database will be created for the Village of Mount Prospect. The data base will show the following elements:
. Passenger Rail Lines
. Bus Routes
. Rail Stations
. Bus Stops
. Bicycle Routes
The team will then assess the general condition of the public transportation infrastructure, including:
· Ridership
. Frequency
· Hours and Days of Service
. Capacity
. Condition of physical facilities
· Potential to meet future needs of Mount Prospect residents
Exhibit B-Professional Consultant Services Agreement
between the Village of Mount Prospect and Tran Systems
Page 20f2
All of the data will be entered into GIS for easy visual review.
Deliverables:
. A draft summary report of the public transportation infrastructure in Mount Prospect for review by the
Steering Committee
. Map(s) of the public transportation infrastructure and GIS files
Task 3: Existing Conditions Assessment (STAR Line Station Area Component)
Development Data
The first task will be to collect data relevant to station area planning within one half mile of the station area. Land
uses, existing transportation features including roadways and parking lots, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, signage,
landscaping, and any environmental features will be field checked and marked on an existing conditions map. A
summary document will review what the existing conditions are.
Deliverables:
. A draft summary report with descriptive map describing the assessment of the existing conditions within the
proposed station area for review by the Steering Committee.
Task 4: Concept STAR Line Station Area Plan
Development
Two draft concept plans for the study area will be developed. The concept plans will take into consideration the
recommendations of the public and data collected from Metra and Pace, the Village's Comprehensive Plan, the
Village's Zoning Map, and other sources.
The concept plans will include a station facility footprint, incorporate access and circulation recommendations
developed as part of Task 5, identify key development opportunity sites, present the land use mix, present the
building massing and configuration, and recommend urban design improvements. The Village's Corridor Design
Guidelines will also be utilized. Specifically, design recommendations related to improving aesthetics, improving the
Village's image and clarifying boundaries, will be included in the concept plans.
The concept plans will be presented to the Steering Committee for review, including a transit agency technical
review. Based on this review, the concepts will be revised and presented to the public at a workshop for review and
comment. Based on comments, adjustments will be made to the draft concept plans and the Steering Committee will
select a draft Preferred Concept Plan, which may be one or a combination of the draft concept plans.
Deliverables:
. Two draft concept plans that demonstrate a vision for future development in the study area.
. The draft preferred concept plan will include bird's eye drawings of the new development depicting layout
and elevations in addition to a revised base map depicting the future land uses in the study area.
Task 5: Circulation and Access Plan Component of Preferred Concept
Task 5 will consist of a planning level review of roadways leading to the proposed STAR Line station area. This
review will include an analysis of what roadway improvements might be needed in order to have best access. A
Exhibit B-Professional Consultant Services Agreement
between the Village of Mount Prospect and Tran Systems
Page 300
general transportation map for the station area will be developed that includes guidelines and recommendations for a
roadway and bicycle/pedestrian network and identify recommended strategies for improvement.
The following steps will be completed:
· Collect available traffic data including accident data for roadways leading to the proposed station
· Plot and inventory key elements of the network including roadway classification, signal locations, roadway
configu ration
· Supplement with field study/data collection as needed
· Create GIS figures/layers-existing conditions.
· Evaluate links of roadway volume to capacity ratio.
· Use information from other studies (such as the Comprehensive Plan) and the station area plan developed
in Task 4 to determine proposed land use changes in the station area and their potential impact on the
existing roadway system.
· Identify opportunities for capacity improvements.
Deliverables:
· Illustrative circulation and access map
· Summary of findings for review by the Steering Committee
Task 6: Public Transportation System Improvement Recommendations
Upon the completion of the existing conditions assessment and through the public involvement process, the
TranSystems team will begin to have an understanding of the current unmet and future transit needs of Mount
Prospect. A market analysis utilizing existing data such as census Journey-to-Work data, Metra and Pace rider
surveys, Metra origin-destination data, and Chicago Metropolitan Agency on Planning (CMAP) data will be conducted
using GIS software. Close attention will be paid to determining what the unmet transit needs of Mount Prospect are.
Concurrently. TranSystems will review Lakota's STAR Line station area plan to determine what type of transportation
links are needed to serve the new station.
TranSystems will then develop recommended public transportation system improvements and improvements by:
· Comparing existing services with the needs that emerged from the existing conditions assessment.
· Identifying the gaps between what is currently offered (by location, time of day and day of week) and the
need for transit.
For each recommendation. a cost-benefit analysis will be conducted. including
· Estimated operational and capital cost
. Potential revenue streams
· A thorough discussion of the pros and cons of the recommendation
· Estimated impact on ridership using comparable services
With this analysis. the team will identify strategies to better address transit needs as identified in the Village's
Comprehensive Plan. The summary recommendations will be presented to the public at a public workshop. Based
on comments from the workshop. a separate transit agency technical review, and steering committee review, the
recommendations may be adjusted.

(the "Agreement")
CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES
In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5323(n), the following certifications and assurances have been
complied to cover all grants and agreements that include Federal Transit Administration
("FT A"), Illinois Department of Transportation ("IDOT") and/or Regional Transportation
Authority ("RTA") assistance programs. Twenty-Five (25) Categories of certifications and
assurances are listed below by roman numerals I through XXV. Category I applies to all
Grantees. Category II applies to all applications exceeding $100,000. Categories III through
XXV will apply to and be required for some, but not all, Grantees and projects and will be
indicated with an "X" as needed.
The R T A and the Grantee understand and agree that not every provision of these certifications
and assurances will apply to every Grantee or every project for which the RTA provides federal
financial assistance through an agreement. The type of project and the section of the statute
authorizing federal financial assistance for the project will determine which provisions apply.
The terms of these certifications and assurances reflect applicable requirements of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU), Pub. L. 109 -59, Aug. 10,2005.
The Grantee also understands and agrees that these certifications and assurances are special
pre-award requirements specifically prescribed by federal law or regulation and do not
encompass all statutory and regulatory requirements that may apply to the Grantee or its project.
A comprehensive list of those Federal laws, regulations, and directives is contained in the current
FTA Master Agreement MA(12) for Federal Fiscal Year 2006 (the "Master Agreement") at the
FTA website htto://www.fta.dot.gov/1687416882ENGHTML.htm. The certifications and
assurances in this document have been streamlined to remove most provisions not covered by
statutory or regulatory certification or assurance requirements.
Because the number of provisions that could flow down to subrecipients are so extensive, the
FT A has removed the partial list of provisions pertaining to subrecipients formerly included
within certifications and assurances for various specific programs to preclude a
misunderstanding that those provisions listed fully encompass all federal provisions that may be
imposed on a subrecipient. As a result, the FT A and the R T A strongly recommends that each
Grantee, that will be implementing projects through one or more subrecipients, secure sufficient
documentation from each subrecipient to assure compliance, not only with these certifications
and assurances, but also with the terms of the Agreement for the project, and the Master
Agreement incorporated therein by reference. Each Grantee is ultimately responsible for
compliance with the provisions of these certifications and assurances irrespective of participation
in the project by any subrecipient.

XV. URBANIZED AREA FORMULA PROGRAM
Each Grantee receiving Urbanized Area Formula Program assistance authorized under 49
U.S.C. 5307 is required to provide the following certifications on behalf of itself and any
subrecipients participating in its projects. Unless the RTA or FTA determines otherwise in
writing, the Grantee is ultimately responsible for compliance with its certifications and
assurances even though a subrecipient may participate in that project. Consequently, in
providing certifications and assurances that involve the compliance of its prospective
subrecipients, the Grantee is strongly encouraged to take the appropriate measures, including but
not limited to obtaining sufficient documentation from each subrecipient, to assure the validity of
all certifications and assurances the Grantee has made to the R T A. If, however a "Designated
Recipient" as defined at 49 U.S.C. 5307(a)(2)(A) enters into a Supplemental Agreement with the
FT A and a Prospective Grantee, that Prospective Grantee is recognized as the Grantee for
Urbanized Area Formula Program assistance and must provide the following certifications.
Each Grantee required by 49 U.S.C. 5307(d)(I)(K) to expend at least one (I) percent of
its Urbanized Area Formula Program assistance for eligible transit enhancements must list the
projects carried out during that federal fiscal year with those funds in its quarterly report for the
fourth quarter of the preceding federal fiscal year. That list constitutes the report of transit
enhancement projects carried out during the preceding fiscal year that is required to be submitted
as part of the Grantee's annual certifications and assurances, in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
5307(d)(I)(K)(ii). Accordingly, the information in that quarterly report will be incorporated by
reference and made part of the Grantee's annual certifications and assurances for this fiscal year.

XXIII. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANK PROGRAM
This Category does not apply to this Agreement.
XXIV. ADDITIONAL FTA CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES
Section 24-1 Definitions
As used in Sections XXIV and XXV of these certifications and assurances:
A. "Agreement" means the agreement between the RTA and Grantee to which these
certifications and assurances are appended as an exhibit.
B. "Government" means the government of the Dnited States of America, the State of
Illinois and the R T A.
C. "Project" means the studies, demonstrations, and/or development projects described in
the Grantee's approved application, for which grant funds are intended to be provided
pursuant to this Agreement.
D. "Project Cost" means costs, eligible for reimbursement or payment under the
Agreement, incurred by the Grantee and/or its contractor(s) in performing the Project.
Section 24-2. Project Implementation
A. Grantee's Responsibility to Extend Federal Requirements to Other Entities.
(1) Entities Affected. Only the entities that are signatories to the Agreement are parties to
the Agreement. To achieve compliance with certain federal laws, regulations, or directives,
Exhibit E-Professional Consultant Services Agreement
between the Village of Mount Prospect and TranSystems
Page 30 of30
however, other Project participants, such as subrecipients and third party contractors, will
necessarily be affected. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to take appropriate measures necessary
to ensure all Project participants comply with applicable federal requirements affecting their
performance.
(2) Documents Affected. The applicability provisions of federal statutes, regulations, and
directives establishing each federal requirement determine the extent to which that requirement
affects a Project participant. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to include adequate provisions to
ensure that each Project participant complies with those federal requirements. In addition, the
Grantee also agrees to require its third party contractors and subrecipients to include adequate
provisions to ensure compliance with applicable federal requirements in each lower tier
subcontract and subagreement financed in whole or in part with financial assistance provided by
the FT A, through the R T A, under the Agreement. Additional requirements include the
following:
(a) Third Party Contracts. Because Project activities performed by a third party
contractor must comply with federal requirements, the Grantee agrees to include appropriate
clauses in each third party contract stating the third party contractor's responsibilities under
federal law, regulation, or directive, including any necessary provisions requiring the third party
contractor to extend applicable requirements to its subcontractors to the lowest tier necessary.
When the third party contract requires the third party contractor to undertake responsibilities for
the Project usually performed by the Grantee, the requirements applicable to the Grantee
imposed by the Master Agreement and the Agreement for the Project must be included in that
third party contract and extended throughout each tier to the extent appropriate. Additional
guidance pertaining to third party contracting is contained in the FT A's "Best Practices
Procurement Manual." FT A cautions, however, that its "Best Practices Procurement Manual"
focuses mainly on third party procurement processes and may omit certain other federal
requirements applicable to the work to be performed.
(b) Subagreements. Because Project activities performed by a subrecipient must be
carried out in accordance with federal requirements, the Grantee agrees to include appropriate
clauses in each subagreement stating the subrecipient's responsibilities under federal law,
regulation, or directive, including any necessary provisions requiring the subrecipient to impose
applicable federal requirements on other Project participants to the lowest tier necessary. When
the subagreement requires the subrecipient to undertake primary responsibilities for the Project
usually performed by the Grantee, the requirements applicable to the Grantee imposed by the
Agreement for the Project must be included in that subagreement and extended throughout each
tier to the extent appropriate.
B. No Government Obligations to Third Parties. The Grantee agrees that, absent the
Government's express written consent, the Government shall not be subject to any obligations or
liabilities to any subrecipient, third party contractor, or other person not a party to the Agreement
in connection with the performance of the Project. Notwithstanding that the Government may
have concurred in or approved any solicitation, subagreement, or third party contract, the
Government has no obligations or liabilities to any party, including any subrecipient or third
party contractor.
Section 24-3. Ethics
Exhibit E-Professional Consultant Services Agreement
between the Village of Mount Prospect and TranSystems
Page 31 of 31
A. Code of Ethics. The Grantee agrees to maintain a written code or standards of conduct that
shall govern the performance of its officers, employees, board members, or agents engaged in the
award or administration of third party contracts or subagreements supported by federal
assistance. The code or standards of conduct must provide that the Grantee's officers,
employees, board members, or agents may not solicit or accept gratuities, favors, or anything of
monetary value from any present or potential third party contractor or subrecipient or agent. The
Grantee may set minimum rules for insubstantial financial interests or gifts of unsolicited items
of nominal intrinsic value. The code or standards of conduct must prohibit the Grantee's officers,
employees, board members, or agents from using their positions in a manner that creates a real or
apparent personal or organizational conflict of interest or personal gain. The code or standards
of conduct must include penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions for violations by the
Grantee's officers, employees, board members, or agents, or by the Grantee's third party
contractors or subrecipients or their agents as permitted by State or local law or regulations.
(1) Personal Conflicts of Interest. The Grantee's code or standards of conduct shall prohibit
the Grantee's employees, officers, board members, or agents from participating in the selection,
award, or administration of any third party contract or subagreement supported by federal funds
if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when an
employee, officer, board member, or agent, including any member of his or her immediate
family; partner; or organization that employs, or intends to employ, any of the parties listed
herein has a financial interest in the firm selected for award.
(2) Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The Grantee's code or standards of conduct must
include procedures for identifying and preventing real and apparent organizational conflicts of
interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be
performed under a proposed third party contract or subagreement may, without some restrictions
on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third party contractor or
subrecipient or impair its objectivity in performing the contract work.
B. Debarment and Suspension. The Grantee agrees to comply, and assures the compliance of
each third party contractor and subrecipient at any tier, with Executive Orders Nos. 12549 and
12689, "Debarment and Suspension," 31 V.S.C. ~ 6101 note, and V.S. DOT regulations,

payrolls, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders, or other accounting documents related in whole or
in part to the Project shall be clearly identified, readily accessible and available to the R T A or the
FT A upon its request, and, to the extent feasible, kept separate from documents not related to the
Project.
B. Funds Received or Made Available for the Proiect. The Grantee agrees to deposit in a
financial institution all advance Project payments it receives from the R T A or the federal

Federal Government in support of the Agreement and all other funds provided for, accruing to,
or otherwise received on account of the Project (Project funds) consistent with applicable federal
regulations and other requirements the RTA or the FTA may impose. Use of financial
institutions owned at least 50 percent by minority group members is encouraged.
C. Documentation of Proiect Costs and Program Income. The Grantee agrees to support all
costs charged to the Project, including any approved services contributed by the Grantee or
others, with properly executed payrolls, time records, invoices, contracts, or vouchers describing
in detail the nature and propriety of the charges. The Grantee also agrees to maintain accurate
records of all program income derived from Project implementation, except certain income
determined by FT A to be exempt from the general federal program income requirements.
Section 24-5. Record Retention and Access
A. Record Retention. The Grantee agrees to maintain intact and readily accessible all data,
documents, reports, records, contracts, and supporting materials relating to the Project as the
Government may require during the course ofthe Project and for three years thereafter.
B. Access to Records of Grantees and Subrecipients. Upon request, the Grantee agrees to

their authorized representatives, to inspect all Project work, materials, payrolls, and other data,
and to audit the books, records, and accounts of the Grantee and its subrecipients pertaining to
the Project.

A. Equal Employment Opportunity. The Grantee agrees to comply, and assures the compliance
of each third party contractor and each subrecipient at any tier of the Project, with all equal
employment opportunity (EEO) requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. ~ 2000e, and 49 U.S.C. ~ 5332 and any implementing requirements FTA

EEO program shall be treated as a violation of the Agreement. Upon notification to the Grantee
of its failure to carry out the approved EEO program, the RTA or the Federal Government may
impose such remedies as it considers appropriate, including termination of federal fmancial
assistance in accordance with the Agreement, or other measures that may affect the Grantee's
eligibility to obtain future federal financial assistance for transportation Projects.
B. Disadvantaged Business Enterorise. To the extent required by federal law, regulation, or
directive, the Grantee agrees to take the following measures to facilitate participation by
disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) in the Project:

all necessary and reasonable steps set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in
the award and administration of all third party contracts and subagreements supported with
federal assistance derived from U.S. DOT. As required by 49 C.F.R. Part 26 and approved by
U.S. DOT, the Grantee's DBE program is incorporated by reference and made part of the
Agreement. The Grantee agrees that implementation of this DBE program is a legal obligation,
and that failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of the Agreement. Upon
notification by U.S. DOT to the Grantee of its failure to implement its approved DBE program,
U.S. DOT may impose sanctions as provided for under 49 C.F.R. Part 26 and may, in appropriate
cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. ~ 1001, and/or the Program Fraud Civil

subcontract it awards, under which any portion of the contract obligations are
undertaken or assumed, so that these provisions will bind the subcontractors. In the
same manner as with other provisions of these Certifications & Assurances, the
Grantee will be liable for its subcontractors' compliance with this clause's
applicable provisions and will promptly notify the RTA and IDOT if any
subcontractor fails or refuses to comply with these provisions. The Grantee will

opportunity to participate in U.S. DOT-assisted contracts. The Grantee DBE
program, if required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by U.S. DOT, is
incorporated by reference into the Agreement. Implementation of this program is
a legal obligation, and the R T A shall treat failure to carry out its terms as a
violation of the Agreement. Upon notification to the Grantee of its failure to carry
out its approved program, U.S. DOT may impose sanctions as provided for under
49 CFR Part 26.
3. The Grantee agrees to include the following clause in all of its agreements and in
of its third party contracts funded wholly or partly with Governmental assistance:
"The Grantee or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, or sex in the performance of this (contract or agreement). The

TO:
DATE:
SUBJECT: CLEAN AIR REGULATIONS
PURPOSE
To obtain the Village Board's approval to replace Chapter 19, Article VIII, of the municipal code,
entitled "Clean Air Regulations" with a revised version that primarily regulates the placement,
installation, and use of smoking shelters, as well as prohibits smoking on public usage property.
BACKGROUND
On February 8, 2008, the Village Board reviewed the revised Clean Air Regulations. During the
meeting, the Board identified several concerns and directed staff to make changes.
DISCUSSION
During the week, staff examined the issues identified by the Board and made the following revisions:
. Defined the phrase "clear opening" so that it meets the intent of an open area;
. To address security concerns, required that the smoking shelter walls be transparent;
· Added seating;
. Provided a minimum number of tobacco waste receptacles;
· Added garbage receptacles;
. Added language that refers to Section 14.306, "Accessory Structures," of the Village's
zoning code to address location concerns.
See Exhibit A for the revised version of the Clean Air Regulations ordinance.
Please note, Section 19.804 (B) provides the Board two different shelter location regulation
alternatives to choose from. The first alternative (ALTERNATIVE #1) subjects the location of the
shelter to the requirements outlined under Section 14.306, "Accessory Structures," of the Village's
zoning code. See Exhibit B for Section 14.306. Importantly, as an exception to the zoning code, the
Clean Air Regulations ordinance permits shelters to be located in a front or side yard if it cannot be
located in a back yard. Staff believes that without this exception, most Village businesses currently
interested in a shelter could not erect one.
The second alternative (ALTERNATIVE #2) specifically addresses the location and set-back
requirements without the need to refer back to the zoning code regulations.

The other concerns identified by the Board, but not addressed in the revised draft ordinance,
include:
· Police enforcement;
· Fairness - Not every business can have a shelter due to site issues;
. Penalty - Should a business license be revoked for a violation;
. Permitting outside heaters in unenclosed structures is inconsistent with the adoption of
the Greenest Region Compact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board review the revised ordinance, select one of the aforementioned
alternatives under Section 19.804 (B), discuss the unaddressed concerns , and provide
direction.
