Mayor Wilks presented for a second (2nd) reading an ordinance amending Chapter
18 of the Village Code. This ordinance prohibits parking at all times along the north
side of Milburn Avenue and limits parking to two (2) hours along the south side of
Milburn Avenue. The Safety Commission recommended approval by a 8-0 vote.
Village Engineer Jeff Wulbecker presented the results of the additional field study
staff conducted relative to on-street parking in the subject neighborhood since the
January 15, 2008 Village Board meeting. Mr. Wulbecker stated the data supports
staffs' recommendation to prohibit parking at all times on the north side and restrict
parking to two (2) hours Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the south side of
Milburn Avenue between Hi-Lusi and I-Oka Avenue.
(Trustee Zadel returned to the meeting at approximately 7:42 p.m.)
Mr. Sahagian
400 Milburn Avenue
Mr. Sahagian stated that while he was disappointed an alternative solution was not
found to allow limited parking on the north side of Milburn Avenue, he understood the
reason for staffs' recommendation. He remains concerned that the on-street parking
problems will be shifted to another neighborhood. Individuals who have been
parking in his block for up to eight hours a day will simply go to the next block to
park.
Ms. Carol Tortorello
223 South Elmhurst Avenue
Safety Commissioner Carol Tortorello stated she lives one (1) block from Mr.
Sahagian and is subject to parking restrictions already in place in front of her home.

Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance granting a variation for a
second (2nd) driveway; PZ-05-08, 1750 Azalea Place.
Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information
on the petitioner's request for the variation to install a second (2nd) driveway. The
petitioner currently parks a recreational vehicle on a gravel pad located in the
backyard of the property; per the Village Code the gravel pad is not an approved
surface. To comply with Village Code the petitioner proposes to install a second
(2nd) driveway to park the vehicle.

PZ-02-08, 2020
CAMP
MCDONALD
ROAD
As Village Code allows only one (1) driveway per lot, a variation is required for the
second (2nd) driveway. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the Conditional Use permit by a vote of 4-0 with the condition that the 2nd
driveway be removed prior to sale of the home.
Mr. Gary Schram beck, spoke on behalf of his parents, Joan and Larry Schrambeck
(petitioners). Mr. Schrambeck provided additional information regarding his parent's
use of the recreational vehicle and decision to keep the vehicle on their property
rather than an off-site location. He also asked for clarification regarding acceptable
materials for the pad and curb cut for the driveway.
Village Board discussion included the following comments/questions:
. Staff's negative recommendation - petitioner does not meet the hardship
standard for a variation as required by Village Code
. Off-site storage - petitioner finds the cost and physical demands of off-site
storage prohibitive
. Curb-cut - driveway installation would include curb-cut
. Removal of right-of-way improvements - petitioner would also be required to
restore roll-curb and remove pad up to the built-line
Mr. Fred Brill
1762 Azalea Place
Mr. Brill spoke on behalf of several neighbors in support of the Schram beck's
request. Until pine trees were removed the fence and trees provided acceptable
screening for the neighborhood. Placement of the vehicle in drive at the front of the
house creates a site obstruction. Feels storage of vehicle in rear yard should be
grandfathered in and remove requirement for curb cut.
Mayor Wilks stated the second (2nd) reading of the proposed ordinance would be
held at the March 4,2008 Village Board meeting.
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading of an ordinance granting a Conditional
Use to operate a Day Care Facility, PZ-02-08, 2020 Camp McDonald Road.
Mr. Cooney presented background information pertinent to the petitioner's request for
the conditional use to operate a day and variations to allow 16 parking spaces rather
than the 17 spaces required by code and 78% lot coverage. He stated the facility has
operated as a day care for approximately two decades; property was annexed into the
Village, and is considered legal nonconforming. The manner in which the site was
developed creates challenges in meeting Village's parking requirements while
minimizing the amount of new lot coverage. In an effort to comply with the Village's
parking requirement yet maintain adequate play area for the children, the Petitioner
submitted a site plan that includes one (1) additional parking space and lot coverage
from 77% to 78%. The facility will have approximately 72 children with 10 staff.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Village Board
approve the requests for: 1) a variation to allow 16 parking spaces 2) 785 lot coverage
and 3) a Conditional Use to operate a daycare facility.
Mr. Gregory Szesko, petitioner, addressed the Village Board. He stated he and his
wife have been operating a day care for over eight (8) years. In response to a
question regarding the play area, Mr. Zesko stated a gate will be installed to separate
the play area from the parking lot.

Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance to amend the
Conditional Use, Planned Unit Development (PUD) for property located at 3401
South Busse Road; Arrow Road Construction.
Mr. Cooney presented background information stating the petitioner requested an
amendment to the Conditional Use (PUD) to allow installation of two (2) asphalt silos.
Like the existing silos at the site, the new silos will measure 80-feet in height.
Developed under Cook County regulations, the existing structures received zoning
relief when the site was annexed into the Village. 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 and 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 to allow the construction of two (2) silos that measure no more than 80-
feet from grade.
Ms. Kelly Cahill, attorney and Mr. John Healy, President of Arrow Road were in
attendance. Mr. Healy stated IDOT had changed standards and the additional silos
were critical to the operation of the business. Mr. Healy also responded to questions
regarding asphalt mixtures; cost and durability.
There was a brief discussion regarding the poor condition of South Busse Road due to
potholes, and efforts to have IDOT make repairs.

Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information
on the proposed project including revisions the property owner made to the original
site plan since retaining a new design firm, Design Bridge, LTD. Based on
comments and concerns generated when the project was first presented by the other
design firm, numerous modifications have been made to the proposed fourteen (14)
unit townhome development. To enhance the development plan and address
concerns associated with the previous development plan, representatives from
Design Bridge met with neighbors. The design firm has also agreed to a financial
contribution to the Mt. Prospect Park District for neighborhood improvement.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval by a vote of 3-1.
Mr. Cooney stated one of the conditions for approval of the Conditional Use, made
by the Planning and Zoning Commission, required the petitioner to revise the
engineering plans to increase the storm sewer vault capacity by 25%; exceeds code
requirement. Mr. Cooney indicated staff does not support this condition; the
Engineering Department analyzed the site as part of the review process and found
no reason to support the recommendation for the additional sewer vault capacity.
Mr. Victor Dziekiewicz, Design Bridge, provided an overview of the project noting
specific modifications from the original plan:
· Interior - unit design
. Exterior - structural style and materials
· Landscape
· Parking
· Garages
. Adherence to stricter Village Codes
As part of their discussion the Village Board commented favorably on the
modifications to the design plan and increase in green space. Responses to
general questions and comments from the Village Board included:
. Need for additional parking - petitioner will explore options to increase
parking
. Garage - petitioner will explore use of wood
. Cui de sac - turning radius meets Village Code and acceptable to Fire

Board; a collective list of their primary concerns and comments follows.

This ordinance regulates smoking shelters and prohibits smoking on certain public
usage property.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated the proposed ordinance includes revisions
from the February 8, 2008 Committee of the Whole meeting.
The Village Board conducted a lengthy discussion regarding the application of the
ordinance:
1) Section 19.804 (B)
. support for the proposed Alternative # 2 which would not deem the
smoking structure as an accessory structure, specifically addresses the
location and set-back requirements without the need to refer back to
the zoning code regulations
. front yard set-backs - language that would prohibit placement of
smoking structure in front yard
. businesses that do not meet set-back requirements
2) Zoning Districts - evaluate smoking structure regulations for areas beyond
restaurants/lounges
3) Smoking Structures - safety issue
Indicating there was a need to further explore the impact of the proposed smoking
structure regulations Village wide, the Village Board requested staff expand their
research of what other businesses are doing to accommodate
employees/patrons/residents that smoke. Noting the need for additional
information, it was recommended the ordinance be brought back as a first (1st)
reading on March 4, 2008.

accept bid for shade tree furnishing and planting.
Forestry/Grounds Superintendent Sandy Clark provided background information on
the bid process including two major changes to this year's bid package:
1) To assist property owner's recover from the August 2007 storm, the Village Board

contract award between Arthur Weiler Inc., KGI Landscaping, Mike Greco
Landscaping, Karlstedt Landscape Inc., St. Aubin Nursery, Alaniz Landscaping
Group, San Fillippo Landscape Inc. and Bill Huffman Landscape Service and 2) Oak
