INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Mount Prospect
Village of Mount Prospect
Fire Department
FROM:
FIRE CHIEF
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE:
JULY 11, 2008
SUBJECT: FIRE STATION 14 GROUND LEASE
Attached for Village Board approval is a Ground Lease between the Village of Mou
Prospect and River Trails Park District that will allow us use of land to construct a new F e
Station 14 on the site just east of the current station. Included in Exhibit 2 of the Ground
Lease is the School Land Lease that is a necessary component of our agreement. Exhibit
2 is an agreement between the River Trails Park District and River Trails School District 26,
which was passed by the school district and park district.
BackQround
In an attempt to maintain the location for Fire Station 14 on the east side of the Canadian
National Railway we began looking for parcels of land that could be used to construct a
new fire station. Land is very difficult to come by in this desirable area. The prime property
was the frontage of Tamarack Park, which is owned by the River Trails Park District. We
approached the park district about using the proposed site and they were very amenable to
helping us to find a way to make this land available. Their concern was for the ball field that
we would encroach upon, thereby making it unusable for softball. The park district said that
they could make the land available as long as we could find a location to replace the lost
softball field. They recommended the grassy field located at River Trails Middle School.
Discussions then took place between the school, park and village personnel, which
ultimately lead to the attached Ground Lease.
Ground Lease Terms
The attached Ground Lease includes the following terms and conditions:
1. The agreement terms are in effect for ninety-nine (99) years with the following
milestones:
a. The park district cannot terminate the lease until after the 25th year.
b. After the 25th year through the fiftieth year the park district can terminate the
lease upon 5 years written notice.
c. From the 51st year through the 99th year the park district can terminate the
lease upon 24 months written notice.
F

2. The Village agrees to pay all costs associated with the softball field improvements at
the River Trails Middle School. The estimated cost is $200,000.
3. The rent shall be $10 per year for the land use.
4. If the softball field at River Trails Middle School is no longer available for park
district use it shall be the Village's responsibility to acquire and improve a
comparable alternative site for the remainder of the ninety-nine (99) year lease.
The agreements outlined above provide Village residents with a new fire station site that
will serve the community for years to come. This would not have been possible without the
River Trails Park District and River Trails School District 26 Boards and staff. A
tremendous amount of time and energy went into making this arrangement possible.

INTERESTED PARTIES:

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve the
minutes of the April 24, 2008 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 4-0
with Joseph Donnelly abstaining. Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-11-08, a request for a Variation (side
yard set back) at 100 N. School Street, at 7:34 p.m.
Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development, stated that the property is located on the northwest
corner of East Henry Street and North School Street. He showed the existing site conditions. Mr. Simmons said
the home is presently a one story brick home with a driveway that fronts off of Henry Street. The area in question
is the North property line. The one story room is approximately 14 feet x 14 feet and a deck extends off the room
to the West. Mr. Simmons stated that the Petitioner has proposed to expand this room to the West.
Mr. Simmons said that the proposed expansion would extend 16 feet into the deck and would maintain the
existing setback line along the North property line. This extension would increase the square footage of the house
by approximately 225 feet. The existing Western end of the deck would remain as is so the size of the deck
would decrease in size to ten feet in depth, but total number of impervious area on the site would not increase as
part of the project.
Mr. Simmons stated that the existing home was considered non-conforming based on the side yard setback that
existed along the North property line. He said that the current room is five feet from the property line on the
North side while seven feet is required. Mr. Simmons stated per Village Ordinance, a non-conforming structure
cannot be expanded or constructed upon which would increase the non-conformity of the building. The proposed
expansion would extend the amount of the home which is non-conforming on the North side by approximately 16
feet.
Mr. Simmons showed a table of the R-1 zoning district bulk requirements:

Rear 25' 47' 47'
FAR 50% Maximum 22.8% 24.8%
LOT COVERAGE 45% Maximum 35.6% 35.6%
Mr. Simmons stated that the existing non-conforming setback was not applicable to the proposed room expansion;
therefore, the expansion would require approval of a Variation.
Mr. Simmons said Staff reviewed this matter with the Village's Legal Division due to the unique circumstances of
this case. He stated in 1990, the Federal Government passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which
established guidelines for providing access to individuals who may have disabilities or handicaps. In this case,
the Petitioner is in a wheelchair and is requesting a Variation for his house to provide access to the facility.
The Legal Division determined the applicability of ADA to zoning Variations. Based on legal review, Mr.
Simmons stated that the Village must make reasonable accommodations in light of an applicant's disability when
granting a Variation. Case law exists which demonstrates the Village may grant a Variation if demonstrated
quality of life enhancement exists or the petitioners usability of space is increased. Mr. Simmons said Staff
requested that the Petitioner provide information to show how a Variation would address his needs and how not
granting a Variation would limit the use of home.
Mr. Simmons said by Code, the Petitioner could expand the home to within seven feet for the North property line
and not require a Variation. The proposal asked for a five foot setback to be consistent with the rest of the home
along the North property line. Mr. Simmons stated that insufficient information was provided with the
Petitioner's application on why the reduction of two feet to meet the set back requirement would not enhance the
Petitioner's needs of accessing the home or limit the use of the home. Mr. Simmons said Staff believed that the
justification for the Variation is not supported by the hardship standards listed in the zoning ordinance, nor does
the legal history with ADAjustif)t the variation in this case.
Mr. Simmons stated the Variation request for a five (5) foot interior side yard does not meet the standards for a
Variation contained in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance for the reasons previously noted. Based on
this analysis, Staffrecommends that the P&Z deny the following motion:
"To approve a Variation to allow a five (5) foot side yard setback along a portion of the north lot line, as shown in
the exhibit prepared by Kabal Surveying Company, dated February 29, 2008 for the residence at 100 N. School
Street, Case No. PZ-II-08."
Chairman Rogers swore in Mike Ryan, 100 N. School Street, Mount Prospect, IL and Mike Haaning, 205 Forest
Avenue, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Mr. Haaning said that he appreciates Staffs' position. He believed that they
are covering an existing structure, the deck which is already legal non-conforming. Mr. Haaning stated that they
are covering an existing condition and not expanding. He said that they would be reducing the encroachment of
the deck by a Y2 foot, this would increase the Petitioner's living space.
Mr. Haaning stated that the Petitioner has his exercise equipment in the garage because it does not fit in any other
areas of the home. This new room would allow the equipment to be utilized indoors despite weather conditions.
Mr. Haaning said the proposed room would allow the Petitioner to have an office area if the Petitioner could not
leave his home. He stated that egress/ingress is a current concern as Mr. Ryan can only enter his home through
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008
PZ-11-08
Page 3
the garage. If the power went out on the home, Mr. Ryan could not enter or exit the home. Expanding the den
would allow another point of access for the Petitioner. Mr. Haaning stated that if the room was expanded without
the Variation, Mr. Ryan would not have the mobility that he needs to move within his home.
Chairman Rogers confirmed with the Petitioner that a 12 foot section where the entry door would work.
Chairman Rogers asked if the Petitioner could have an entry door and still maintain the seven foot side yard. Mr.
Haaning said the way the room was situated with the pipes, there would not be enough room to install a door.
Chairman Rogers asked specifics about the exercise equipment. Mr. Ryan said he would like a set of three
stations (machines). He was not able to utilize a park district or commercial facility. Mr. Ryan stated that each
piece of the exercise equipment is approximately four by five feet.
Joseph Donnelly asked Staff about the non-conforming structure. Mr. Simmons said that it may have been
constructed before the zoning ordinance. With the existing structure, there were no Variations in the past that
would justify the five foot set back.
There was general discussion regarding the house because it is located on a comer lot.
Ronald Roberts asked if the Petitioner has discussed this proposal with his neighbor. Mr. Ryan stated that the
neighbor next to his house is supportive of the Variation. Mr. Roberts asked Staff if this case was properly
noticed to the neighbors. Mr. Simmons said the case was properly noticed and Staff did receive feedback, no one
was against the proposal. The neighbor directly adjacent to the proposed property wrote a letter of support.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at
7:45 p.m.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-I1-08, a request for a Variation (Side yard set
back), at 100 N. School Street. Ronald Roberts seconded the motion.
Leo Floros believed this is a reasonable request since the five foot set back exists and the Petitioner is not
increasing this; he saw no problem at all.
Mr. Roberts said safety is an issue and the Petitioner needs an exit in case of a fire. He does not see an issue with
the Variation since the neighbors did not object, especially the neighbor who would be directly affected by this.
Marlys Haaland stated that an entry way was needed and hopes it works out for the Petitioner.
UPON ROLL CALL:
A YES: Donnelly, Floros, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers,
NA YS: NONE
Motion was approved 5-0.
After hearing three additional cases Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 11: 12 p.m., seconded by
Ronald Roberts. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

SUBJECT:
PZ-ll-08 - VARIATION (SIDE YARD SETBACK)
100 N. SCHOOL STREET (RYAN RESIDENCE)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 26, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by Michael Ryan (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 100 N. School Street (the
"Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to encroach 2' into the required interior side yard. The
P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the May 7, 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 northwest corner of School Street and Henry Street, and contains a single-
family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single Family Residence and is
bordered by the Rl District on all sides.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The attached exhibits illustrate the Petitioner's proposed improvements to the existing home, which is an
expansion of a room in the north side of the property to enlarge the existing den. In order to accommodate the
expansion, the addition would encroach into the required interior side yard. The existing structure encroaches
into the interior side yard by two (2) feet. The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to allow a five (5) foot side yard
along the north lot line when the Zoning Ordinance requires a seven (7) foot side yard.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The Subject Property does not comply with the Village's zoning regulations. The principal structure encroaches
into the interior side yard and is considered to be a legal nonconforming structure. The petitioner would not
increase the degree of the encroachment (i.e. the room expansion would maintain its 2' encroachment into the
setback), but would extend the wall of the den that encroaches into the yard to make a larger den.
According to the definitions in the Zoning Ordinance, the east property line is the front property line and the south
property line is considered the exterior side yard. This is important to note because the structure is situated in a
way that the south yard coincides with the front of the house.

FAR 50% Maximum 22.8% 24.8%
LOT COVERAGE 45% Maximum 35.6% 35.6%
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:
· Would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the property is located;
· Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and
· Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character.
The Zoning Ordinance requires a seven (7) foot interior side yard for the proposed addition. In this case, the
existing nonconforming setback for the existing addition is not applicable to the expansion.
The Petitioner states in the attached application that the two (2) foot encroachment is necessary to construct a
room expansion. The Petitioner explored whether the addition could be built with a seven (7) setback, but found
that the accessibility to the room was not improved. The petitioner stated that there is only one other exit in the
home that accommodates wheelchair accessibility. The proposed location on the lot is the only place where an
addition makes sense: the garage makes expanding into the rear (west) difficult and would not create the
accessibility that the petitioner is seeking. Building a second story onto the house is not a consideration for the
petitioner because he is trying to improve wheelchair accessibility within the home.
Staff reviewed the matter with our legal representation to determine if zoning variations may be granted to
individuals with disabilities if the disability is the primary reason for justifying the variation. Per legal counsel,
the Village must make reasonable accommodations in light of an applicant's disability when granting zoning
variations. The Village may grant the application if the petitioner demonstrates that the requested variation will
enhance the applicant's quality of life by reducing the effects of being wheelchair bound. Based on the
information submitted with the application, staff believes that the petitioner has not fully demonstrated how the
variation will address their needs. Greater detail of the floor plan is necessary in order to demonstrate how not
granting the variation would reduce or prohibit the petitioner's use of the home.
Based on the standards for reviewing a variation, and review of legal history regarding the American with
Disabilities Act, staff believes there is insufficient evidence to support the requested sideyard setback variation.

RECOMMENDATION
The Variation request for a five (5) foot interior side yard does not meet the standards for a Variation contained in
Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance for the reasons previously noted. Based on this analysis, Staff
recommends that the P&Z denv the following motion:
"To approve a Variation to allow a five (5) foot side yard setback along a portion of the north lot line, as shown in
the exhibit prepared by Kabal Surveying Company, dated February 29,2008 for the residence at 100 N. School
Street, Case No. PZ-11-08."
This case is Village Board final since the Variation exceeds 25% of the Zoning Ordinance requirement.
I concur:

INTERESTED PARTY:

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve the
minutes of the April 24, 2008 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 4-0
with Joseph Donnelly abstaining. After hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-14-08, a
request to subdivide one lot of record into two lots of records at 215 Westgate Road, at 7:47p.m.
Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development, showed an aerial of the existing property with the
proposed property line. The existing site condition was a single family home with related improvements. Mr.
Simmons said that the Petitioner seeks to subdivide the property into two lots. He presented a chart with
requirements and indicated both lots would conform with the R-l Zoning District Bulk Regulations:
Rl Single Proposed Proposed
Family Existing (north lot) (south lot)
Minimum
Requirements
Minimum Lot Size: 8,125 square 42,047 square 22,840 square 19,126 square
feet feet feet feet
Minimum Lot Width 65' 165 90' 75.36'
Minimum Lot DeDth 120' 253' 253' 253'
Mr. Simmons stated that after the Staff report was distributed, Staff had discussed a fee in lieu of detention
requirement with the Petitioner. This new fee has been with the Village since 2006. Mr. Simmons said for any
new building permits for residential or commercial properties, applicants are required to pay a fee in lieu of
providing storm water detention on their property. In this proposed subdivision, a fee would be assessed for both
lots which total approximately $37,000 for the property lot coverage on the proposed properties. Mr. Simmons
stated that the Petitioner is requesting a waiver of this fee.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008
PZ-ll-08
Page 2
Mr. Simmons said the proposed plats have been prepared according to all Village Codes and requirements noted
in Sec. 15.304. Based on this, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:
"To approve a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Mannella's Westgate Resubdivision, benefiting the property located at
215 Westgate, Case No. PZ-14-08."
Mr. Simmons stated that Staff suggests that the fee in lieu detention not be waived.
Chairman Rogers swore in Angelo Mannella, 215 Westgate Road, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Mannella stated that
he is building a home for himself. He discussed the cost of detention fee. Chairman Rogers said water detention
is a problem in the Village. He said the Village enforces everyone to add additional detention on their property if
they are above a certain size to pay a fee. Chairman Rogers stated that the Petitioner has the alternative of
providing detention on the property himself or paying the fee.
Further discussion continued regarding the detention fee and it was determined that the Planning and Zoning
Commission was not voting on the fee. They were voting on whether or not the Petitioner could subdivide the lot.
The request for the waiver could be addressed by the Village Board.
Leo Floros asked how the detention fee is calculated. Mr. Simmons said there is a fee schedule in the Village
Code. It is based on maximum lot coverage in the zoning district. For R-l, Single Family Residential, the
maximum lot coverage is 45 percent. The fee is based off how much lot coverage was on the property, based on
the square footage. The Petitioner could potentially cover 9,000 square feet of their lot and the fee is calculated
based on this maximum lot coverage.
Chairman Rogers said there was a reason why the Petitioner would like to subdivide the property. Mr. Mannella
stated that he is going to sell his current home and construct a new home without any stairs.
Joseph Donnelly asked about a garage on a property line that he saw when Staff showed an aerial view. Mr.
Mannella stated that the garage is no longer there, it is currently a slab. He confirmed that the driveway and slab
would be removed.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public hearing was closed at
8:00 p.m.
Leo Floros made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-14-08, a request to Subdivide one lot of record into two
lots of record at 215 Westgate Road. Marlys Haaland seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
A YES: Donnelly, Floros, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers,
NAYS: NONE
Motion was approved 5-0.
After hearing two additional cases Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 11: 12 p.m., seconded by Ronald
Roberts. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:

HEARING DATE:
JUNE 26, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-14-08 - PLAT OF RESUBDIVISION
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 26, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting to review the
application by Angelo Mannella (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 215 Westgate (the "Subject
Property"). The petitioner is requesting that the lot be subdivided into two lots. The P&Z hearing was properly
noticed by posting Public Hearing signs on each of the Subject Properties.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on Westgate Road, north of Ardyce Lane, and contains a single-family residence
with related improvements on the south portion of the property. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single-Family
Residence and is bordered on the north, south, and east sides by the Rl District and bordered by the R4 District on
the west side.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The petitioner is requesting to subdivide an existing lot of record into two lots of record. Both proposed lots will
conform to the Rl zoning district requirements. The Village Code requires the Planning & Zoning Commission
review the proposed plat and to forward a recommendation to the Village 13o~rd for their consideration and final
action.
PROPOSED LOT SIZES
Both lots within the proposed subdivision will meet the Village's bulk requirements for the R-l Single-Family
Residential Zoning District. The existing home on the property will remain on the southern parcel while a new
how is proposed to be constructed on the northern parcel. Both structures will meet the lot coverage and setback
requirements as specified in the R-l zoning district. The following table shows the lot size requirements of the R-
1 district, existing lot dimensions, and proposed lot dimensions.

PLATS OF VACATION AND RESUBDIVISION
The proposed plats would divide one lot of record into two lots of record without creating zoning
nonconformities. Staff reviewed the plats and found that the plats were prepared in accordance with the Village's
standards.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed plats have been prepared according to all Village Codes and requirements noted in Sec. 15.304.
Based on this, Staff recommends that the P&Z approve the following motion:
"To approve a Plat of Resubdivision, titled Mannella's Westgate Resubdivision,benefiting the property located at
215 Westgate, Case No. PZ-14-08."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve the
minutes of the April 24, 2008 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 4-0
with Joseph Donnelly abstaining. After hearing three previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-15-08,
requests for: a Conditional Use for a Commercial Planned Unit Development, building height and setback
Variations, and Special Use for signs associated with a large scale development at 999 N. Elmhurst Road, at 8:10
p.m.
Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development, gave a brief overview of different types of retail
centers. He also summarized the history of Randhurst and stated the existing conditions that include several large
big box stores. He indicated that several of the larger anchor stores will remain with the proposed project. Mr.
Simmons said the status of the mall has decreased due to competition in the retail market. There has been a shift
in both retail design and strategies. Mr. Simmons said the area demographics are still strong enough to support a
mall. Mr. Simmons concluded by stating Casto Lifestyle Properties and JP Morgan would be presenting and
encouraged the public to voice their opinions.
Chairman Richard Rogers swore in Aarti Kotak, 203 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL. Ms. Kotak introduced the
development team for the proposed project. She said the subject property is approximately a 100 acre site and
stated the property location. The applicant (Petitioner) is the owner of the property. The subject property is

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008

Page 2
currently zoned B-3 community shopping district with an amended Planned Unit Development (PUD). Ms.
Kotak said the application proposed approximately 155,000 square feet of newly constructed retail with a total
square footage of approximately 980,000 square feet at the site.
Ms. Kotak stated the Petitioner is seeking the following approvals:
1) Conditional Use for a PUD with use exceptions and approval of a final plan for the PUD.
2) Residential uses allowed on the Chase bank building parcel and the existing AMC Theater parcel on the
Northwest corner of the property.
3) Variations for the following: maximum building height of 60 feet. A reduction in the front yard setback
from 30 feet to 20 feet. Reduction in the existing side yard setback from 30 feet to 15 feet for the existing
Jewel building.
4) A waiver to permit the location of street lights at locations other than at the frontage as well as other relief
to the illumination provisions for the lighting plans that have been submitted.
5) Special Use permit for signs associated with a large scale development and such other relief as may be
necessary to accomplish or submit development plans.
Chairman Rogers swore in all personnel at one-time testifying on behalf of the Petitioner.
Brett Hutchens, President of Casto Lifestyle Properties, 401 N. Cattlemen Road, Sarasota, FL, discussed the needs
for the re-development of Randhurst Mall. He also discussed the background of Casto Lifestyle Properties and
his company's commitment to Mount Prospect by offering new restaurants, stores, offices, and a hotel. Mr.
Hutchens stated the proposed development would provide convenience to shoppers and spur economic
development with increased jobs and business opportunities.
Mr. Hutchens made several comparisons of Randhurst Village (proposed project) and a mall that Casto re-
developed several years ago in Winter Park, FL. Mr. Hutchens discussed Randhurst Village would contain mixed
uses of retail, hospitality, offices and residential components in the future. He said he has been asked several
times how he knows that this proposed development would work. Mr. Hutchens said his company looked at the
market and the opportunity in mall re-development is only there if the real estate is good and the market is still
strong. He provided and showed a comparative demographic analysis between Mount Prospect and Winter Park.
Mr. Hutchens discussed the vision for Randhurst Village.
Arnold Gitten, 116 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables, FL, discussed the site. He mentioned that they are not
changing traffic entrances into the site. There would be walking paths designed so people have a trail to walk
through the entire shopping center. There would also be sidewalks added on site so residents from the
surrounding neighborhoods could walk in safely along with crosswalks across Elmhurst and Euclid. Mr. Gitten
said there would be a parking garage directly south of the theaters.
David Galler, 116 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables, FL, discussed the architectural elements and elevations. He
discussed the signs that would be placed throughout the property. He said that there would be wider sidewalks
down the Main Street area. Mr. Galler showed pictures that included site amenities and discussed the furniture
and planters.
Chairman Rogers asked if the elevations presented represented what would be built. He also wanted to clarify
that the only difference would be signage or the color for a particular client.
Mr. Galler said the only thing that might change would be if a retailer came in with a larger space. They might
have to modify the elevation slightly to have the retailers' door centered where they might be showing a different
color on the elevation. Mr. Galler said they submitted a design guideline booklet with the case for design criteria
for retailers. He stated retailers need to conform to sign regulations, use of materials, and the way store fronts are
designed. The buildings would be made with mostly brick and glass with stone at the base.

Mr. Gitten discussed the brick work and representation in greater detail by showing the colors and a material
sample board to the Planning and Zoning Commission members.
Jim Conroy, Director of Development for Casto Lifestyle Properties Chicago, 999 N. Elmhurst Road, Mount
Prospect, IL, stated that he has an office on site and will make himself available to the public. Mr. Conroy
presented a three dimensional fly through of the proposed development.
Mr. Conroy discussed the residential component for the proposed site. The original plans called for residential to
be located above the retail along Main Street. He said that this was just not feasible due to construction costs.
Mr. Conroy stated that residential is a needed component for the mixed use lifestyle. He said they looked at the
Northwest corner of the site and they would be able to provide retail on the first floor with residential above. Mr.
Conroy stated that they could segregate commercial and residential parking for this area. The preliminary plan
included 200 apartment units and 12,000 to 20,000 square feet of retail. Mr. Conroy mentioned that Staff put
together verbiage so the two Northwest corner parcels could possibly have residential zoning. He said they
accepted Staffs five conditions for this proposed area.
Ms. Kotak discussed the Conditional Use and Special Uses for signs. She said that the Conditional Uses have
been addressed in the Petitioner's application. She requested that this application be included into the record for
the proceeding. She stated additional uses do no represent more than 40 percent of the total floor area. The signs
they construct would serve as a public convenience and they would not be detrimental to the safety, visibility, or
general welfare. Ms. Kotak said the signs would be in harmony in scale with the architecture of the building and
surrounding neighborhood. The location and size of the signs would not impede the adjacent properties. They
would enhance the proposed development. Ms. Kotak stated the Special Use application conforms to the
applicable regulations of the sign ordinance. She said the applicant, as far as the Special Use that they requested
for the signs is a unique development being proposed along 5,000 linear feet of street frontage.
Mr. Donnelly questioned the traffic flow through the property. He stated that the ring road disappears on the
West side of the property. Mr. Conroy said that the ring road is difficult to manipulate with the development
evolving over time. He stated that he would like to funnel traffic through the Main Street area. Mr. Conroy
mentioned that they did retain the ring road coming off of Elmhurst and an area off of Kensington. He said there
will be a substantial traffic flow for the theater.
Mr. Donnelly said that ring roads typically do not have stop signs. He said people tend to cut through parking
lots. He asked the Petitioners to address this. Mr. Conroy said there are currently huge gaps to the East ring road.
Access points would be framed out by the building immediately East of Costco. He stated actual aisles would be
better defined with the proposal. Mr. Conroy said he is willing to work with Staff in regards to the stop signs Mr.
Donnelly addressed in front of the Home Depot store.
Ronald Roberts said the whole idea is to get people out of their cars and create a pedestrian friendly environment.
He thought it is great that the development is getting rid of most of the ring roads.
Mr. Donnelly asked about outdoor sales. Mr. Conroy said part of the proposal and site plan included an area that
they are requesting as seasonal outdoor display for Home Depot. This would include typical garden displays. Mr.
Conroy stated that there would be outdoor dining areas along Main Street as well.
Chairman Rogers said the issue is that Home Depot has to taken over part of the parking lot which has made it
dangerous for pedestrian traffic and he wanted to know if something could be done about closing off a part of this
area.
Discussion continued regarding the seasonal area.
William Cooney, Director of Community Development, said all outdoor sales areas have to come to the Village
for review and comments.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008

Mr. Donnelly recommended that the seasonal area be moved to the East side of the Home Depot store. He
believed Home Depot needed a road like Jewel to move traffic through. Mr. Donnelly asked about the
intersection of Rand, Kensington, and Elmhurst Roads, he wanted to know if the road could be expanded to get
more cars into the development.
Mr. Hutchens wanted to address the seasonal area; he said seven tenants have outdoor lease rights to outdoor
sales. He stated that they would work with tenants regarding traffic flows.
Lou Aboona, 9575 W. Higgins Road, Rosemont, IL, completed a comprehensive traffic study on the site. He said
he has been working with Staff to upgrade the signal at Kensington. The signal currently operates independently
from the signal at the triangle (Rand, Kensington, Elmhurst). He stated that he is also working with the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT). The east bound traffic would have a protected left turn and they are not
planning additional lanes at this time.
Chairman Rogers believed one more lane would greatly help as Leo Floros concurred.
Mr. Donnelly stated circles into the proposed development would not be a good move. Mr. Gitten said that they
have added circles into their projects all over the United States. There are only two circles in the proposed
development. He stated that these are not major intersections and they would mainly act as one-way circles. Mr.
Gitten said they have not had accidents at their previous projects concerning the circles and does not foresee this
being a problem. Chairman Rogers stated circles would help, they would even slow traffic.
Mr. Galler said he has worked with Staff regarding the circle on the Chase bank site. There are four ways around
the circle and agreed that the circles are just trying to calm the traffic as people head towards the theater.
Chairman Rogers asked how the outdoor cafes and work areas would work with our region's climate. Mr.
Hutchens said one of the most successful lifestyle mixed-use centers is in Columbus, OH. He stated that you
would not eat outside in the wintertime, but it is very important to activate the street when the temperatures are
warmer.
Chairman Rogers asked how the Petitioner would handle snow removal. Mr. Conroy said they currently contract
this out. They have a full-time operations manager who has reviewed the plans. Snow can be pushed out of the
Main Street area and be moved to the outer areas of the parking lots. He stated that they will not have snow
melting machines. They are comfortable that they can control the snow.
Mr. Donnelly asked if there are any commitments for a hotel operator. Mr. Gitten said there is a hotel committed
to the project. They would just have to finalize plans just like they do with other tenants. Mr. Donnelly asked if
any restaurants were committed. Mr. Gitten said until the final lease is signed, they cannot release any names.
Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Floros both had questions regarding the storage facility that has been referenced on the site
plan. Mr. Conroy said the storage facility would be a three story fully self-contained building with heat and air
conditioning. He stated there has been interest from three to four storage facility companies. Mr. Floros asked
how a storage facility would meld with the proposed lifestyle center. Mr. Conroy said they want to bring in the
residential component with the proposed project. People in the area might be interested in downsizing and have
storage needs. Mr. Conroy stated the community itself has storage needs. He said area of the proposed storage
facility was currently located on the least utilized portion of the site. A storage facility is a light and quiet user.
Trucks would gain access to the building on the West side so they would be further away from the residential area
along the Eastern property line. Mr. Conroy said this provided a nice buffer to the residents of the East and it
would blend in with the rest of the architecture for the proposed development.
Mr. Donnelly asked how the lights on top of the parking garage would be screened for the residents directly to the
East. Mr. Gitten said lights would not be tall on the top of the parking garage. They would have the ability to
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008
PZ-15-08
Page 5
control lights and place them along the property line without any spillover. Mr. Conroy added that they will have
cut off lenses to eliminate the glare.
Mr. Gitten said the whole property line along the East would be fully landscaped. Mr. Conroy said there would
be a six foot fence and additional landscaping across the street along the perimeter edge ofthe parking garage.
There was discussion regarding the hotel. Mr. Gitten said it was a need especially for the Kensington Business
Center.
Mr. Donnelly confirmed that Casto and Chase owned the entire property. He wanted to know if the residential
component was added, if it would be apartments and not condos because of shared ownership. It was confirmed
that the residential area would be apartments.
There was a discussion regarding lease agreements with the major anchors. Everything has been worked out for
the proposed development.
Chairman Rogers stated that the Petitioners have shown storm detention, lighting, and landscaping on the plans.
He asked the Petitioner if they were in agreement with Staffs recommendations on the various items in this entire
development plus the process of obtaining building permits. Mr. Conroy stated that they are providing seven to
eight acres of storm detention and they are looking at an underground location. This location could be under the
future parking garage or under one of the existing buildings in the basement. Mr. Conroy said they have been in
contact with the Village Engineer and have toured other similar facilities in regards to the proposed underground
detention. Mr. Conroy stated a complete photometric plan was submitted with the application. There may be
some modifications to the original plans based on security concerns. Mr. Conroy said they are in agreement that
they could comply with the Ordinances set forth by the Village of Mount Prospect.
Chairman Rogers received a memo from Staff with some additional items. Mr. Conroy said they are in agreement
of keeping the fence along the Eastern property line at six feet. Mr. Conroy stated that they still request a waiver
for the street lighting.
There was general discussion regarding the lighting along Kensington, Euclid, and Elmhurst Roads.
Chairman Rogers said this is something that can be worked out with Staff and it is something to incorporate with
the plans in order to get the approval. Chairman Rogers stated that residential on the Northwest corner is a good
idea. He said as long as they meet the 30 units per acre, he thought the residential request should be included with
the development. Chairman Rogers stated that the signs are too large, but he is willing to increase them from
what is normally allowed.
There was general discussion regarding signage. Mr. Roberts felt that more signage was necessary due to the
segregated parking lots in the proposed plan. There was discussion on the sizes of the signs. The signs at the
entrances would be 15 feet, Village Code allows 12 feet. Mr. Cooney provided Staffs input on the signage. He
said Staff has been restrictive on signage throughout the Village. They have discussed the Randhurst signs at
great length. Mr. Cooney stated the text on the signage basically conforms to code. Staff believed that the
location is appropriate for these signs due to the importance of this shopping center.
Mr. Donnelly asked about the sight lines with the monument signs. Mr. Gitten said signs are pushed back and
would not interfere with sight lines.
There was further discussion on the number of tenant names that could appear on the sign. The general consensus
between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Petitioner was seven names.
Mr. Floros asked why Randhurst has been a failure with other indoors malls being successful. Mr. Hutchens said
when interstates where added, they had the ability to provide regional access. Indoor malls along interstates have
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008
PZ-15-08
Page 6
been very successful. Mr. Hutchens stated anchor stores drive traffic into the core of the malls so smaller stores
could feed off of the traffic created. The rent for department stores tends to be very low while it is very high for
smaller stores. Mr. Hutchens said the cost for maintaining the common areas of the mall is increasing due to
heating and air conditioning. Smaller tenants have to support the costs of the common area.
There was general discussion regarding the re-development of the mall.
Chairman Rogers swore in Dominik Fong, 1172 Boxwood Drive, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Fong was concerned
with the fence and landscaping along the eastern property line blocking his view and access of the mall.
Chairman Rogers said people who live in residential areas next to malls or other properties generally like to be
screened. Mr. Fong stated that he would like to have the construction completed as quickly as possible. Mr. Fong
was also concerned with the construction hours. Mr. Cooney stated that construction hours were 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
per Village Ordinance.
Chairman Rogers swore in Marlene Friedrichs, 320 W. Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL. Ms. Friedrichs read in
the newspaper that the proposal did not include any residential. She said the presentation now included 200
apartments rather than the 150 that were originally proposed. Ms. Friedrichs stated that the rest of the project is
wonderful, but objected to any more apartments in Mount Prospect.
Chairman Rogers swore in Wes Pinchot, 747 White gate, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Pinchot said he is impressed
with the presentation and concept. He asked if the Main Street parking would be adequate for shopping. Mr.
Gitten said there would be breezeways along Main Street to lead to adjacent parking areas. Mr. Pinchot asked if
parking was adequate for all uses on the property. Mr. Gitten confirmed that parking was adequate and valet
parking was included throughout the center.
Mr. Donnelly asked where the office population would park. Mr. Hutchens said the office space users would park
in the garage. The parking garage would be a shared use with the theater.
There was general discussion on locations of the offices and distance from the parking areas. The office space
users would be required to park in the garage.
Mr. Hutchens said the mixed use concept is to go to the site, park, and create pedestrian traffic.
Mr. Pinchot said he was concerned with the signage on Euclid Road for the residents to the North of the proposed
site. Mr. Gitten said the sign would not bleed into the residential area. Mr. Pinchot appreciated the proposal and
thought it would be a compliment for Mount Prospect.
Mr. Donnelly asked about the existing signs for Jewel, Steak and Shake, and Borders. Mr. Conroy said the
existing signs would remain, there were no plans to take these down. Chairman Rogers asked if the flags at the
entry ways would be taken down, Mr. Conroy said they would. Mr. Hutchens stated there is currently an AMC
sign near the Borders building. He said that Casto objected to the look of this sign and AMC allowed them to
construct a different sign and move it to a different position.
Mr. Donnelly requested a drawing of where all the signs would be located. Mr. Hutchens said they do not have
this, but it is something that they could provide in the future.
Chairman Rogers swore in Richard Sassan, 1004 N. Elmhurst Road, Mount Prospect, IL. Mr. Sassan said the
plans were fabulous and he asked where signage would be along Elmhurst Road. Mr. Conroy said a freestanding
pylon sign would be at the signalized intersection off of Elmhurst Road and a second pylon sign at the intersection
by the Chase Bank building.
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008
PZ-15-08
Page 7
Mr. Sassan wanted to know additional information regarding the buildings along the West property line adjacent
to Elmhurst Road. Mr. Simmons said the buildings as proposed are to be setback 20 feet from the property line.
The buildings would be screened in by landscaping.
Mr. Sassan asked the Petitioner how his other projects have affected property values of the nearby residential
neighborhoods. Mr. Hutchens said the property values have consistently gone up, more so with commercial. He
believed that if nothing was done with Randhurst, the residential property values would fall. Mr. Hutchens
believed that the proposed project would stabilize or increase residential property values because there would be
more services nearby. Mr. Sassan said the proposed project is good for Mount Prospect.
Chairman Rogers called for additional questions or comments; hearing none, the public comment portion of the
hearing was closed. Chairman Rogers said he will entertain a motion, but would like it to include all of Staffs
recommendations from both the Staff report dated June 18, 2008 and the Staff supplemental memo dated June 26,
2008.
Chairman Rogers asked Mr. Donnelly if he had anything additional to add to the motion. Mr. Donnelly thought
that the Petitioner would come back with a revised plan for the Planning and Zoning Commission to review with
where the real signs would be located and fixing the road situation before they vote. Chairman Rogers said he
would like to see the project proceed, otherwise there would be another month before it comes back to the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Rogers suggested that Staff review the signs and make sure that
they are within reason.
Mr. Cooney said the only signs that are in addition to the proposed plan would be the existing signs on site with
the exception of the AMC sign which would be moved within a few feet from where it is currently located. Mr.
Cooney confirmed this with the Petitioner.
Mr. Donnelly said if the residential was not advertised, is the Planning and Zoning Commission prepared to vote
on this. Mr. Cooney stated that Staff is fine with the way the Planned Unit Development was advertised in the
newspaper. Mr. Donnelly said he is concerned that they have done this with other developments in the past.
Chairman Rogers said he understands Mr. Donnelly's concern, but he believes Staff knows what the Planning and
Zoning Commission wants to see regarding this development. Chairman Rogers said he would like to include the
residential sketch in the motion and possible reduction of pylon signs at the main entry, but keeping at least seven
tenant names on the sign itself.
Mr. Donnelly asked if they are approving all the plans on the site plan the way that they are drawn. Mr. Cooney
stated that they would be voting on the way the site plans are presented. Mr. Donnelly asked about phasing.
There was general discussion on phasing for previous projects and Randhurst.
Mr. Conroy said upon approval, he expected the outlots along Elmhurst Road, the Main Street retail and offices,
the theater, and parking garage all to be completed by the Spring 2010. The storage facility adjacent to Costco
would be delayed for strategic reasons because this is the area where construction materials and equipment would
be stored. Once Main Street opens, the storage facility would be completed. Mr. Conroy stated they will have to
wait on residential component until at least 2010 to develop the area by Chase Bank and the existing theaters.
General discussion continued regarding construction dates and what was being voted on regarding residential.
Chairman Rogers confirmed that the vote would give the Petitioner the right to look at residential for the
Northwest corner of the property. Chairman Rogers said the Petitioner would be back in front of the Planning and
Zoning Commission when the residential would be ready for review.
There was general discussion on how the Planning and Zoning Commission would vote on Case Number PZ-15-
08.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting June 26, 2008

Mr. Donnelly asked for clarification regarding the maximum building height. Mr. Simmons said the maximum
height Variation that the Petitioner requested was for 60 feet across the entire property. Mr. Simmons stated the
hotel would be the tallest structure. With any future buildings, the height would be limited including the plans for
residential. The 60 foot height is a blanket proposal, the storage facility and parking garage would not be this
high.
There was further discussion regarding the Variation for maximum height.
Mr. Roberts said this is a packaged development. He stated that Commission has to be careful with all of the
qualifications that are being piled on. Mr. Roberts does not believe adding all of these qualifications are a good
idea, there are a lot of moving pieces. Mr. Roberts said that the Commission needs to trust Staff. Chairman
Rogers agreed with Mr. Roberts, but he did not want a 60 foot building next to Boxwood.
There was general discussion regarding the Variation for setbacks and the height of the proposed storage facility
and parking garage.
Mr. Conroy estimated that the storage facility would be around 40 feet in height. The theaters are going to exceed
the 30 foot allowed height. Mr. Conroy said the Village of Mount Prospect only allows 30 feet in height unless a
Variation is granted. He felt that a 60 foot Variation would provide flexibility and would allow the architectural
accent of some towers along the development.
Chairman Rogers asked if the Petitioner understood the concerns regarding residential and took them into
consideration. Chairman Rogers also asked that if 60 feet were allowed on the entire site, the Petitioner would not
build a 60 foot storage facility. Mr. Conroy understood the residential concerns and would not build a 60 foot
storage facility.
Mr. Donnelly said by giving a 60 foot Variation, it would stay with the property forever. Mr. Cooney suggested
that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the site plan and elevations as submitted. Mr. Cooney
understood that there is no elevation provided for the proposed storage facility, but it shall not exceed 60 feet.
Chairman Rogers said the only way to resolve this is to let Staff use their best judgment knowing that the
Planning and Zoning Commission does not want a 60 foot structure next to residential and let the architect design
something appropriate that the Staff could approve or disapprove.
Mr. Donnelly asked if the next owner of the property could raise the height of buildings without going before the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Rogers said if a future owner decides to place a new building on
the property, it would have to come back via the Planning and Zoning process. Mr. Donnelly asked what if the
Petitioner decided to raise a tower in five years. Mr. Cooney stated prior to the Village Board meeting, Staff
would ensure in the Ordinance that raising the height could not happen. Staff would also obtain schematic
elevations.
There was no further discussion. A motion was made and seconded to recommend approval of a Commercial
Planned Unit Development, building height and setback Variations, Special Use for signs associated with a large
scale development, Variation to allow brighter and taller parking lot lighting than permitted by code, and
Variation to install two temporary leasing signs, for the property located at 999 N. Elmhurst Road, Randhurst

RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
BRIAN SIMMONS, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPUTY DIRECTOR
DATE:
JUNE 18, 2008
HEARING DATE:
JUNE 26, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-15-08 - RANDHURST VILLAGE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 26, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by CLP/SPF Randhurst LLC. (the "Petitioner"), regarding the property located at 999 N. Elmhurst
Road known as the Randhurst Shopping Center. The Petitioner is seeking approval of a Conditional Use permit
for a Planned Unit Development to redevelop the subject property. The P&Z Commission hearing was properly
noticed in the June 12, 2008 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, the Petitioner has completed
the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and Staff has posted Public Hearing signs on the
Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located northeast of the intersection of Rand Road and Elmhurst Road, and is generally
bounded by Euclid A venue, Elmhurst Road, Kensington Road, and the Boxwood residential development. The
property currently contains the existing Randhurst Shopping Center with related improvements. The Subject
property is zoned B-3 Community Shopping, and is primarily bordered by the R-X Single Family District to the
east and west, B-3 Community Shopping District to the south, and single family residential in the Village of
Prospect Heights to the north.
SUMMARY
The Petitioner is proposing a partial redevelopment of the existing Randhurst Shopping Center. Under the
proposed development plan, the interior portion of the mall will be demolished with the existing big-box retailers
of Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Carson's to remain. The existing outlot buildings will also remain with the
exception of the AMC Movie Theatre which will be relocated to the eastern portion of the property. The amount
of total building square footage for the entire development will increase from the existing 877,000 sq. ft. to
979,500 sq. ft as part of the redevelopment. The proposed mall will incorporate a lifestyle center design which
will differ from the traditional enclosed mall which exists on the property today. Lifestyle centers are a recent
trend in commercial development which incorporates retail, office, entertainment, restaurant, and sometimes
residential uses. The proposed Randhurst Village will incorporate all of these uses in some form. While
residential is currently not proposed, the potential exists for future outlot development of residential uses.
Additionally, a hotel is proposed in the center of the development which will provide a quasi residential
PZ-15-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 3
component to the project. Lifestyle centers in general utilize entertainment uses to attract customers to the
facility, and the residential uses allow the centers to provide vibrancy to the development throughout the day.
Conditional Use for a Planned Unit Development
The Subject Property is currently zoned B-3 Community Shopping and has received previous conditional use
approvals for a commercial planned unit development (PUD). The Petitioner is' requesting to waive the previous
conditional use permits and is requesting approval of a new conditional use permit for the proposed PUD.
According to the Village's Zoning Code, a mixed commercial development requires approval of a planned unit
development. The PUD process allows for unified zoning control over the entire development, which would
require formal Village approval if any modifications were proposed to the development in the future.
Currently the petitioners plan's illustrate that additional outlot buildings are proposed to the exterior of the site
while no information has been provided in regards to their architectural design or landscaping. This information
was excluded from the application packet as each building will be designed based on the future tenant needs of
these locations. Under Village PUD regulations each outlot building would be required to go through the zoning
process in order to amend the overall PUD; however, staff recommends a condition be included in the approval of
the PUD which would allow for administrative review of the outlots in lieu of requiring review by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and Village Board. In the event that staff determines proposed uses or outlots require
review by the Village Board, or additional variations are required, the formal PUD process can be utilized to
amend the proposed plan. This process would limit both the number of future amendments to the PUD and
necessity for public hearings requiring notification of all property owners surrounding the entire one hundred acre
site.
Site Plan
The attached site plan illustrates the proposed layout for the Randhurst Village commercial development. As
proposed, the central portion of the existing mall will be demolished and the southern entrance from Elmhurst
Road will be extended through the center of the site. New commercial store fronts, pedestrian areas, and parking
will be constructed on either side of this roadway which will create a "Main Street" feel to the development. The
existing AMC theatre will be relocated to the northern end of this roadway to provide a prominent focal point for
both pedestrians and motorists within the shopping center. The central corridor of the development will
incorporate elements to enhance the pedestrian environment including decorative pavement, seating walls,
planting beds, street furniture, and outdoor dining areas. Canopies and awnings over individual storefronts will
also enhance the pedestrian experience in this area. The existing Bed, Bath and Beyond, Carson Pirie Scott, and
Costco retail stores will remain on the property and will be incorporated into the new development.
Surrounding the center, the existing parking lot will be reconfigured to both maximize the number of parking
spaces and to improve traffic flow. New outlot buildings are proposed along Elmhurst Road that will
accommodate future retail and restaurant uses. A new commercial building is proposed to the east of Costco that
will face the Home Depot retail building and provide greater utilization ofthe parking lot located between the two
buildings. Finally, a parking structure is proposed along the east property line which will serve the development
and accommodate the majority of parking for the theatre.
Loading zones will be located in recessed areas of the development and will be screened from view from adjacent
roadways via either landscaping or other buildings within the development. To ensure minimal conflicts between
motorists and truck traffic, deliveries should be scheduled during off-peak hours whenever possible. The
petitioner will work with individual store owners to regulate when deliveries will be made to the property.
The site plan also incorporates three vehicle drop-off areas. These drop-off areas are located in the circular drive
in front of the hotel, near the T-intersection in the center of the development, and in the drive aisle adjacent to the
PZ-15-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 4
movie theatre. These drop-off lanes may be utilized for vehicles which are dropping off and picking up
passengers, or for valet operators at restaurants within the development. There also are seven parallel parking
spaces provided in front of the Carson's store which could be utilized for valet operations in the evenings or
during special events.
To enhance the pedestrian environment, street furniture is utilized throughout the central main street area. Raised
planting beds with seating walls, benches, planters, decorative light fixtures and trash receptacles are all
incorporated to provide a unique pedestrian experience. Decorative pavements are utilized in portions of the site
to enhance the pedestrian areas and an outdoor fireplace is proposed near outdoor dining areas in the center of the
development. In total, the development will incorporate five pocket parks or plazas as pedestrian amenities.
Building Design
The proposed buildings will utilize an urban prairie style of architectural design. The center will incorporate
architectural elements such as louvers, metal canopies, canvas awnings, balconies, and varying window and
material types to provide interest to the buildings. Varying roof heights are utilized throughout the development
to take advantage of unique views upon entering the development and also to break up the massing of the
structures. Site furniture proposed on the property will incorporate design elements utilized on the building to
provide greater symmetry between the buildings and the pedestrian streetscape. While the overall design of the
center will be primarily urban in nature, individual storefronts will be designed when each tenant applies for their
individual building permits to allow for branding of tenant spaces. The petitioner has provided a design criteria
packet as part of their application which details requirements that future tenants of the shopping center will be
required to adhere to in order to maintain a uniform cohesive look to the center.
The petitioner continues to work with staff to refine the architecture of the building. Most notably staff believes
that additional architectural interest should be incorporated into the design of the hotel to provide a more
prominent entrance to the hotel which will be visible to vehicles entering the site from Elmhurst Road.
Additionally, more detail needs to be provided at the top of the structure to provide definition at this area of the
building. The petitioner is currently in negotiations with a hotel service provider that once completed, will be
able to provide more solid plans for the hotel while also addressing these concerns.
Site Access
Access into the property from neighboring roadways will not significantly change from present conditions.
Existing signalized intersections along Kensington Avenue, Elmhurst Road, and Euclid A venue will still provide
the primary access points for the center. The existing ring-road system will be modified to provide more direct
routes into the central commercial area, but will remain relatively intact to provide circulation around the site.
Sidewalks will be added along both entrances to Elmhurst Road to provide pedestrian access from this street
frontage into the development. Staff continues to discuss with the petitioner possible upgrades to the signalized
intersection on Kensington Road to increase the efficiency of this signal and its relation to the intersection of
Rand Road. Other minor improvements around the property include installation of pedestrian signals at traffic
signals on Elmhurst Road and Euclid Avenue.
Parking
Parking for the development will be spread throughout the entire site. While parking spaces will be provided
along the central drive through the center of the development, the majority of parking will be located on the
periphery of the center. In total, 5,292 spaces will be provided in both structured and surface parking. The
proposed parking will exceed code requirements by over 700 spaces. Parking for the hotel will be accommodated
in underground spaces that are accessed by the main entrance to this building. A parking structure is proposed
adjacent to the movie theatre to accommodate this facility. The surface parking lots have been reconfigured to
pz- 15-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 5
create greater efficiency in the use of land and have incorporated landscaped areas to break up large expanses of
pavement.
Landscape Plan
The Petitioner's landscape plan provides extensive new plant materials throughout the property. In total over
4,000 new plant materials, induding shade trees, ornamental trees, evergreen trees, shrubs, and perennial
plantings are proposed. The redevelopment and reconfiguration of the site will require existing vegetation to be
removed from the property, but where feasible existing plant materials will be transplanted to preserve some of
the more established vegetation. Landscaping has been provided along either side of the main entrance to the
shopping center leading up to the hotel entrance and "Main Street" portion of the development. Once matured,
the landscaping will help to frame this view of the development. The primary shopping area will incorporate
several shade and ornamental trees, as well as low growing perennials to soften the streetscape and provide an
inviting pedestrian environment.
To better screen the development per Village Codes, landscaping is proposed along the Elmhurst Road frontage
and along the east property line adjacent to the Boxwood residential area. The Boxwood side will blend with
existing landscaping near the Jewel property and will provide more of a year round screening. Additionally a six
foot high board on board fence is also proposed along this property line to buffer the development from adjacent
residential uses.
Additional plant materials are also proposed in parking areas and along the foundations of existing buildings to
bring the site closer to current standards. In particular, additional plantings are proposed around the Carson's and
Bed, Bath, and Beyond retail stores to soften these facades. Overall, the proposed landscape improvements will
significantly upgrade the plant materials located at the shopping center and will provide for an attractive
streetscape.
Storm water Detention
To provide stormwater detention for the areas of the site that are being disturbed by the project, the petitioner is
proposing to construct a stormwater vault under a portion of the mall. The vault will utilize a portion of the
existing basement of the mall and will be designed to accommodate storm water volumes generated by a 100 year
storm. The outflow pipe of the vault will connect to existing storm sewers along Elmhurst Road. The remainder
of the existing basement will be either filled with fill materials to allow for development on the street level above,
or converted to underground parking for the hotel. Two additional surface detention areas will provide additional
storm water detention for the property and will incorporate native vegetation to assist in water filtration. Final
design of the storm water detention area will be accommodated at the time of final engineering for the site.
Signage
The proposed development will incorporate several ground signs around the perimeter of the site to provide
visibility for the shopping center. A total of four entry signs will be placed around the site including the eastern
most driveway at Kensington Road, both entrances along Elmhurst Road, and the primary entrance from Euclid
Avenue. Two additional corner signs will be placed adjacent to the intersection of Rand. Road and Elmhurst
Road, and the intersection of Euc1id Avenue and Elmhurst Road.
Internal to the property additional ground signs and two types of directional signs are proposed to direct traffic
through the development. Four large directional signs are incorporated at locations upon entering the property to
direct traffic flows to major tenants. Three of these signs are located along the northern circular drive. A fourth
sign is located along the east property line. Nine smaller directional signs are scattered throughout the remainder
of the property. Finally, the petitioner is proposing two additional ground signs within the center of the
PZ-15-08
Planning & Zoning COlTImission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 6
development. These signs will be designed as spires to create a focal point for both pedestrians and motorists
utilizing the property. The two spires will be approximately seven (7) feet wide at their base, and thirty-five (35)
feet in height. The width of the spires will decrease towards the top of each sign limiting the bulk of each
structure. The two spire signs will have limited visibility from the exterior of the site and are designed more as
architectural features.

The Village's Sign Code provides provisions for large scale developments which allow these developments to
apply for special use to increase both height and area of signs above the maximum standards permitted in the sign
code. A special use may be granted provided that the following three standards are met:
· Street Frontage: Five hundred (500) linear feet of street frontage.
· Minimum Lot Size: Four (4) acres
· Highway Oriented Business: Business must qualify or be classified as a highway oriented business
serving a community or greater market base.
Staff believes that these standards are satisfied by the subject property and therefore justify the requested larger
signs. The subject property is one hundred acres in size and has over 5,000 linear feet of street frontage.
Additionally, the shopping center is a regional center which serves a greater market base than other developments
located within the Village. The proposed signs have been uniquely designed to blend with the architecture of the
development and incorporate landscaping and lighting into their designs. Finally, the proposed signs will provide
an overall uniform look to the shopping center as a whole.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING
The Village Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Community Commercial Use. This land use
designation is appropriate for developments on large sites that include large-scale "big-box" and "mixed-use" type
developments that include smaller scale outlot parcels. The proposed mixed-use shopping center is designed with
larger big-box tenants and small outlot parcels, as well as other retail, office, and hotel users within the central
portion of the development. The proposed development therefore is consistent with this designation and is
appropriate for the area.
GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
As previously mentioned, the petitioner is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development within the B-3
Community Shopping Zoning District for the Randhurst Village project. As such, the standards for Planned Unit
PZ-15-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 7
Developments (PUD's) would supersede the underlying zoning requirements. Per code, the maximum building
height permitted is thirty (30) feet, while the highest proposed roof height wilJ be sixty (60) feet. Staff is
supportive of this variation as the majority of the development wilJ average under the thirty (30) foot height
restriction. Additionally, the taller building structures are located in the center of the development and wilJ have
limited negative impacts on surrounding properties. The petitioner is also seeking a variation to the front yard
setback from thirty (30) feet to twenty (20) feet. The proposed reduction in setback is located along the Elmhurst
Road frontage and only appl ies to the three outlot buildings. Staff is supportive of this variation as the proposed
design will provide a uniform street frontage of building setbacks along Elmhurst, and extensive landscaping has
been provided to provide screen ing of these structures. Staff is also supportive of a reduction in the exterior side
yard setback for the Jewel building from the required thirty (30) foot setback, to the existing fifteen (15) foot
setback.
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 vilJage for the area containing the subject site;
· That the proposed planned unit development is in the public interest and is consistent with the purposes of
this zoning ordinance.
· That the streets have been designed to avoid inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development and for the surrounding neighborhood; and that the development does not create an
excessive burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, and other public facilities which serve or are
proposed to serve the planned unit development.
The proposal is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Land Use Map and is compatible with the
underlying zoning for the property. The mixed-use development wilJ be compatible with other retail
developments that are located within the vicinity and will provide an updated shopping center on the property that
will better compete in today's commercial market.
PUD Use Exceptions
The ordinance approving a PUD may provide for uses in the planned development which are not normally
allowed in the underlying zoning district provided that the folJowing conditions are satisfied:
· The proposed use exceptions enhance the quality of the planned unit development and are compatible
with the primary uses.
· Proposed use exceptions are not of a nature, nor are located, so as to create a detrimental influence to
surrounding properties.
· Proposed use exceptions shalJ not represent more than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area. No
industrial uses shalJ be permitted.
In addition to any use permitted in the B-3 Community Shopping Zoning District (the underlying district), the
petitioner is requesting that the following uses be allowed as additional use exceptions within the PUD:
I. Health services, clubs or gymnasiums
2. Hotels and motels
PZ-15-08
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 8
3. Medical and Denta] Laboratories
4. Drive-Through Facilities (in connection with a bank, restaurant, and pharmacy use)*
5. Storage Facility*
6. Multifamily dwelling units on and above the ground floor*
7. Senior Housing on and above the ground floor*
8. Parking lots and structures
9. Outdoor display and sales of products the sale of which is a permitted use*
10. Game rooms
Aside from items 5-7, all of the above uses are listed as conditional uses in the B-3 district. Staff believes these
lIses would be compatible with the proposed development and concurs they can be added as use exceptions within
the PUD. A storage facility is not listed as a conditional use, but would provide a good buffer use between
residential properties to the east and the proposed retail development. Staff recommends that the proposed
storage facility be approved as part of the proposed PUD, but that future facilities would require an amendment to
the PUD. Therefore, staff does not recommend this use be incorporated into the use exceptions permitted on the
entire property. Staff also recommends that access to any individual storage space for the proposed building be
restricted to be from the interior of the building and that no exterior overhead doors into individual storage units
be permitted. Staff also concurs that outdoor sales of products would be appropriate use in the center, but
recommends that any outdoor sale of merchandise is required to comply with Section 14.311 of the Village Code
which regulates these sales. Finally, staff is supportive of the proposed drive-through uses as demonstrated on the
PUD plan, but does not recommend these be included as use exceptions in the PUD approval. The proposed bank
and pharmacy drive through are acceptable but future drive throughs will require an amendment to the PUD.
As previously discussed, lifestyle centers in general tend to incorporate residential components into their overall
development scheme. While staff believes that these uses would be appropriate in this type of development, care
should be taken in their future placement on the property. Because of the commercial nature of the shopping
center, staff believes that any residential or senior housing component should require a future amendment to the
PUD and not be a permitted use within the PUD. Incorporating residential into the project in the future will
require stricter review of impact on neighboring properties, parking, and similar issues. Additionally, permitting
residential by right would permit existing areas planned for office and or retail to be converted to residential
without requiring an amendment to the overall PUD.
RECOMMENDA nON
The proposed Conditional Use for a Commercial Planned Unit Development meets the standards for this request
as listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve:
I) A Conditional Use permit for the Randhurst Village Commercial Planned Unit Development consisting of
approximately 979,500 square feet of retail subject to compliance with the following conditions:
A. All previous conditional uses for a planned unit development or associated amendments and variations on
the subject property are hereby nullified by reference.
B. Variation approval to allow:
a. A maximum building height of 60 feet.
b. A reduction in the required front yard building setback from 30 feet to 20 feet.
c. A reduction in the required exterior side yard setback from 30 feet to 15 feet for the existing Jewel
retail building.

RICHARD ROGERS, CHAIRPERSON
FROM:
BRIAN SIMMONS, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPUTY DIRECTOR
DATE:
JUNE 26, 2008
HEARING DATE:
JUNE 26, 2008
SUBJECT:
PZ-15-08 - RANDHURST VILLAGE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND
The following memo is intended to supplement the staff report prepared for the June 26, 2008, public hearing
concerning the proposed Randhurst Village PUD. Following the completion of the staff report, Village staff has
had additional discussions with the petitioner regarding the project that would require additional zoning relief.
The additional items are highlighted as follows:
Temporary Leasing Sign
The petitioner is requesting to install two temporary leasing signs at the southwest and northwest corner of the
subject property. Per code, the maximum size permissible for a temporary leasing sign is 50 square feet and 10
feet in height. As proposed, the petitioner is proposing two signs 180 square feet in size and 12 feet in height.
Similar to the justification for the larger development signs, staff is supportive of the request for larger leasing
signs due to the size of the development and impact on the regional market. The proposed signs are temporary,
and would be removed following the completion of the project.
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Fence Height Variation
The petitioner is currently proposing to install a six foot board on board fence along the east property line,
adjacent to the Boxwood residential area. This fence is permissible by code and is the maximum height
permitted. The petitioner has requested approval of a variation to have future flexibility to install an eight foot
fence along this property line. Eight foot fences are permitted within the Village to screen industrial storage
yards, and along property lines fronting railroad rights-of-way. Staff does not believe that an eight foot fence
would be appropriate at this location. The proposed six foot fence and associated landscaping will provide
sufficient buffering between the two properties.
Staff recommends denial of this request.
Waiver of Street Lighting
Due to the scale of the proposed project, Village Code requires the petitioner to install street lighting along the
right-of-way frontages of Elmhurst Road, Euclid Avenue, and Kensignton Road adjacent to the subject
development. The intent of the ordinance is to provide street lighting of all major roadways within the Village
and increase the safety of these roadways. The petitioner has requested a waiver of this requirement. Staff is not
supportive of waiving the requirement outright, but is willing to consider placing a covenant on the property to
PZ-15-08 Supplement
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 26, 2008
Page 2
delay the installation of these fixtures for a set time period. The final agreement regarding installation of the light
fixtures could be finalized as part of the development agreement between the petitioner and the Village.
Therefore, staff does not support this variation, but will continue to discuss the matter with the petitioner prior to
finalizing the development agreement.
Staff recommends denial of this waiver request.
Variation to Site Lighting Standards
The petitioner is also requesting variations to the lighting standards on the property. Previously, variations to the
lighting standards have been approved on the subject property for the Costco project. Staff is supportive of this
request, contingent on the proposed lighting adhering to previous approvals on the property with respect to pole
height and illumination levels. The approval of this variation will provide uniformity to site lighting across the
entire property.
Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
Use Exceptions for Future Residential
The petitioner has also requested that residential be included as a use exception as part of the PUD approval. The
petitioner is seeking residential as a future use in the northwest corner of the property. The residential use would
be limited to the height variation already requested over the entire development, and limited in density to a
maximum of 30 units per acre (of the portion of the site developed for residential). Staff is receptive to future
residential, but is concerned with the review process that would be necessary to approve the residential and
permitting this use outright. Through discussions with the petitioner, the development agreement can be
established to include language which would require a future residential component to return through the zoning
process for site plan review, but not require an amendment to the entire PUD. At a minimum, notification could
be required to the properties located immediately adjacent to the proposed residential component for a public
hearing.
Staff recommends approval of the petitioner's request to permit residential as a use exception in the PUD,
provided that the following conditions be included prior to the development of residential on the property.
1. Residential uses shall be restricted to the northwest corner of the property generally bounded by Euclid
A venue, Elmhurst Road, the northern access road from entering from Elmhurst Avenue, and the central
access road entering from Euclid A venue.
2. Residential uses shall be limited to a maximum density of 30 units per acre for the portion of the
development constructed for residential use.
3. The maximum height for future residential uses shall conform to the maximum building height for the
PUD.
4. Future development of residential shall be in general conformance with the design guidelines submitted
by the petitioner for PUD.
5. Development approval of future residential uses shall be in compliance with the terms and conditions of
the development agreement executed between the Village of Mount Prospect and the petitioner, including
but not limited to, public hearings and required public notification.
The Village Board's decision is final for this case, for the property commonly known as the 999 N. Elmhurst
Road, Case No. PZ-15-08.

Project Narrative:
CLP/SPF Randhurst, LLC (the "Applicant") is undertaking the development of Randhurst
Mall and creating Randhurst Village. The Applicant will retain approximately 577,000 square feet
of retail (including several anchors), develop approximately 280,000 square feet of additional retail
space and over 25,000 square feet of new restaurants, relocate and redevelop the existing AMC
theater and develop a hotel of approximately 60,000 square feet. Randhurst Village will also
include approximately 23,000 square feet of office and approximately 5386 parking spaces.
The site has a lot area of approximately 99.9 acres, and the proposed development will have
a floor area ratio of .36.
The proposed development will substantially upgrade the existing Randhurst Mall and will
create an attractive new development which will provide vital services to the residents of the
Village of Mount Prospect and surrounding villages.
The managing member of the Applicant, Casto Lifestyle Properties, L.P., ("Casto") is a
pioneer in creating mixed use lifestyle developments with nearly eighty years of experience in
successfully developing and managing commercial, industrial and residential real estate. Casto
completed a similar mall renovation/reinvention at a property in Winter Park, Florida, formerly
known as Winter Park Mall and now known as Winter Park Village, and also completed a
comparably sized development known as Lakeside Village in Lakeland, Florida.
CHG02\40244021.2
APPLICATION FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
(CONDITIONAL USE APPROV ALl
RANDHURST VILLAGE
CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
The Zoning Ordinance, in Sections 14.203.F.8 and 14.504, sets forth findings to be made in authorizing a
Special Use for approval. Those findings are identified below and italicized. As indicated below, and as
supplemented by the information in this application for a planned unit development/conditional use
approval, Randhurst Village satisfies all of the findings set forth in Sections 14.203.F.8 and 14.504:
1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or
endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare;
The development of Randhurst Village will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety,
morals, comfort or general welfare; instead, the development of Randhurst Village will greatly improve the
public health and safety by reinvigorating an obsolete and declining shopping center and will positively
impact the morals, comfort and general welfare by providing over 280,000 square feet of additional retail
space and over 25,000 square feet of additional restaurant space for the benefit and convenience of the
residents of the Village and surrounding villages.
2. That the conditional use 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 to be located;
Randhurst Village will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
vicinity nor diminish or impair property values. A vibrant shopping center will only encourage the use and
enjoyment of surrounding property and will encourage an increase in the property values within a
neighborhood that may have been negatively impacted by the decline of Randhurst Mall.
3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of the surrounding property. Randhurst Village will complement and enhance the existing
Shopping Center, parking and circulation are all being designed to further support the normal and orderly
development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
4. That adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
As identified on the plans accompanying the application for Conditional Use Approval, adequate public
utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities have been provided. A new 12" water main
loop will be installed to provide fire protection for the development. Detention facilities will be provided for
impacted impervious areas.
5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to
minimize traffic congestion in the public streets..
As discussed in more detail in the traffic study conducted by KLOA, dated May, 2008, the proposed
development provides adequate measures to provide ingress and egress designed to minimize traffic
congestions in the public streets. The development will provide additional parking per the Village's
CHG02\40243468.2
Zoning Ordinance and a total of approximately 5386 parking spaces (more than 400 spaces in excess of
the Village's requirements.) The existing property is served by six full access drives (including three
signalized access points) on Kensington Road, Elmhurst Road and Euclid Avenue, allowing an even
distribution of traffic to avoid overburdening the existing system.
6. That the proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan
for the Village; (Section 15.504(A)(2)
The proposed conditional use is not contrary to but rather fully supported by the current Comprehensive
Plan for the Village. The Comprehensive Plan states, "Randhurst Mall, Downtown Mount Prospect, and
the Kensington Business Park, all important commercial districts, are recognized as important to the
Village's fiscal sustainability." Figure 2.18 of the Comprehensive Plan identifies Randhurst Mall as the
highest principal taxpayer in the Village. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Plan includes the
maintenance and attraction of retail and commercial services in the Village and the initiation of programs
to encourage improvement of the condition of older existing commercial buildings and areas as
objectives. The development of Randhurst Village will reverse the decline of Randhurst Mall, due to its
high vacancy and tenant turnover, and will again create a productive, active central shopping center.
7. That the conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located, except as such regulations may, in each instance, be modified pursuant to
the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission. (Section 15.504(A)(1)
Other than those variations identified in this application, the planned unit development shall, in all other
respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the B-3 Community Shopping District.
8. That the streets have been designed to avoid: (1) inconvenient or unsafe access to the planned unit
development; (2) traffic congestion in the streets which adjoin the planned unit development and (3) 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 development will utilize the existing access drives currently serving Randhurst Mall. With three
signalized access drives to facilitate vehicular circulation and six full access drives to distribute the overall
volume of traffic, the proposed development will have little impact on the adjoining roads currently serving
Randhurst Mall.

MEMORANDUM
~
FROM:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS~ VILLAGE MANAGER
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
TO:
DATE:
JULY 10,2008
RANDHURST VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT - PROPOSED
REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
SUBJECT:
Attached to this memorandum is a resolution that would approve a Redevelopment Agreement (R A)
for the Randhurst Mall property, JP Morgan Chase and Casto Lifestyle Properties (Casto), joint owners
of the Randhurst Mall, are proposing a significant redevelopment project for this property. Built 46
years ago in 1962, Randhurst has been and continues to be the primary commercial property in the
Village. Casto is proposing a,$150 million renovation to the property, transforming the mall into a more
contemporary lifestyle center, In order to accomplish this undertaking, Casto is requesting that the
Village contribute $25 mimo~ in future project-generated revenues to the project.
If approved, Casto would demolish the mall portion of Randhurst and construct a lifestyle shopping
center that would include a new theater, a hotel, 2nd story office space and approximately 200,000
square feet of new retail/restaurant space. The project would maintain several existing retailers
(Costco, Carsons, Bed Bath and Beyond and all the outlot tenants) and relocate the AMC Theater to
east end of the property to become the focal point of the new lifestyle retail area.
The Village initiated discussions with Casto regarding the proposed public/private partnership in 2007.
While the Village was encouraged by the redevelopment proposal, a key premise to considering any
public assistance for this project was that we must protect the sales tax revenue that currently is
generated by the property ($3.65 million in FY 2007). Therefore any public assista'nce would have to
be generated by new revenue produced by the redevelopment project.
The attached term sheet and review memorandum from our financial consultant, The Laube
Companies, provides greater detail of the proposed public financial participation. In summary, the term
sheet commits the Village to provide $25 million towards this project with funds that are generated by
the redevelopment. The funds would be pledged in non-recourse revenue bonds that would be backed
by the following five revenue sources:
1. A quarter percent Business District Retailer's Occupation Tax (new tax on Randhurst only);
2. Incremental Local Distributive share of the sales taxes over $236.5 million (2007 base sales);
3. Hotel Tax (increase current rate Village-wide from 3% to 6%);
4. A 25 cent Amusement Tax on the sale of movie tickets (new Village-wide tax);
5. Food and Beverage Tax.
It is important to note that the proposed $25 million in revenues would only be paid if the above sources
generate this amount. The Village is not obliged to pay any monies from existing revenue sources or
from any future sources if the above taxes do not generate their projected amounts. In addition, the
:\
Village will continue to receive the current amount of sales taxes generated by the property ($3.65
million) plus approximately $1 million annually in new home rule sales taxes. After the revenue bonds

A. Note (Taxable). The Village will issue one or more taxable notes (the "Taxable Note") to
Developer upon the closing of the redevelopment agreement (the "RDA") (the "Issuance Date") in an
aggregate initial principal amount equal to the amount of the eligible costs as delineated in the Business
District Plan which have been incurred by the Developer by the Issuance Date up to a maximum principal
amount of $25,000,000, as evidenced by a certificate provided by the Developer and approved by the Village
substantiating as much ("Certificate of Expenditure"). After the initial issuance of the Taxable Note, if the
principal balance ofthe Taxable Note is less than $25,000,000, then the principal balance of the Taxable Note
will be increased when the Village issues additional Certificate(s) of Expenditure, up to a maximum of
$25,000,000. Eligible costs will be certified by the Developer to, and approved by, the Village on the Issuance
Date and on a quarterly basis thereafter. Interest on the Taxable Note will accrue upon issuance at a rate equal
to the median value of the 10-year Treasury constant maturity as published in the daily Federal Reserve
Release for 15 business days prior to the Issuance Date plus 300 basis points (the "Taxable Note Interest
Rate") and will compound semi-annually. The Taxable Note shall be payable from the Business District Taxes
Incremental Sales Taxes, Hotel Taxes, F&B Taxes, and Amusement Taxes. The Taxable Note will begin to
accrue interest upon the closing of the RDA, but no payments will be made until the Certificate(s) of
Completion are issued as delineated below. The Taxable Note will have a first lien on the Business District
Taxes, Incremental Sales Taxes, Hotel Taxes, F&B Taxes, and Amusement Taxes. Upon issuance of the Bonds
( as hereinafter defined), the lien of the Taxable Note will automatically subordinate to the liens of the Bonds
with respect to the pledged payments to that series of bond issuance. Any Bonds that are issued by the Village
will have a first lien on the pledged source of repayment to that Bond issuance. The Village may not prepay
the Taxable Note for a period of 10-years at anytime without the Developer's consent.
The principal value of the Taxable Note will be reduced by the net proceeds of the Bonds when issued (as
discussed below in 3C).
B. Assignment of Notes. The Taxable Note may be (i) assigned or pledged as collateral to any senior
lender holding the Taxable Note, or, following the issuance of Certificate of Completion 2, (ii) sold or assigned
to a qualified investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may transfer the Taxable Note at any
time to (i) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Developer or (ii) any entity in
which the majority equity interest is owned by the parties that have a majority equity interest in Developer.
C. Revenue Bonds - Upon Developer's request, the Village shall issue at least two or more series of
revenue bonds (the "Bonds") in the amount required to yield up to $25 million in net proceeds (after
provision for debt service coverage, capitalized interest, debt service reserve fund, and closing costs) to retire
all or a portion of the Taxable Note. The source of repayment for the Bonds will be the Business District
Taxes, Incremental Sales Taxes, Amusement Taxes, F &B Taxes, and Hotel Taxes, which, when collected, are
allocated to and paid to the Treasurer of the Village for deposit by the Treasurer into the special tax allocation
fund specifically set up for the Project (the "Tax Allocation Fund").
The Village will issue one or more series of Business District revenue bonds that will have an amortization
schedule of up to 23-years as allowed by the Business District Act.
The Village will issue one or more series of Revenue Bonds supported by the Incremental Sales Taxes,
Amusement Taxes, F&B Taxes, and Hotel taxes that will have an amortization of up to 30-years.

To the extent issued, the Bonds will have first lien on the Business District Taxes, Incremental Sales Taxes,
Hotel Taxes, F&B Taxes, and Amusement Taxes. Beginning on the date of issuance, the Village shall deposit
all Business District Taxes, Incremental Sales Taxes, Hotel Taxes, F&B Taxes, and Amusement Taxes into the
Tax Allocation Fund.
The Bonds shall be issued by a qualified investment banker, chosen at the Village's sole discretion and
reasonably acceptable to Developer, upon the later of (i) the Developer's request, (ii) the determination that the
Bonds are marketable, and (iii) the issuance of Certificate of Completion 2. Typical market requirements are
as follows:
o A certain percentage of the Project shall be leased or sold to tenants, ground lessees and/or
purchasers.
o Developer and/or subsequent developers (in the case of a ground lease or pad sale) shall
have secured a binding commitment from a construction lender to provide funds to
construct the Project.
o Developer or subsequent developers (in the case of a ground lease or pad sale) shall have
entered into a lump sum agreement with a general contractor to construct the Project.
o The Village will need to pledge the coverage to the 30-year revenue bonds to pay the
principal down early after the call protection periods as may be required by the Village's
bond underwriter to maintain marketability.
The Village and Developer will make all reasonable efforts, to the extent possible, to ensure that the Bonds
will be exempt from federal taxation under the IRS code. However, it is anticipated that the Bonds
supported by the Business District Tax will not be tax-exempt.

From: Mike Laube
Subject: Review and Analysis of the Development Economics for the Proposed
Redevelopment of Randhurst Mall- Internal Confidential Memo
Date: June 5, 2008
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this memo is to provide an objective financial analysis ofthe proposal
that Casto has provided to the Village of Mount Prospect for the redevelopment of
Randhurst Mall.
Our goals in our review are essentially two (2) fold - 1. To make sure that, if the
Developer receives the commitment of the Village to his request or a reasonable amount,
he will be able to reasonably finance and execute this project subject to market
conditions, and 2. To provide reasonable assurances that the Developer, with the granting
of the requisite municipal financing, is not making a beyond market range profit at the
expense of the Village.
The Developer is requesting $25 million in net bond proceeds from the Village.
Our analysis ofthat request follows.
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Analysis of the Projected Costs of the Project
The total gross project cost of this development is $154 million. This includes an
attribution of $45 million for land cost.
Analysis of Land Cost
The current structure ofthis project is that Casto has entered into a joint venture
agreement with JP Morgan, the current owner of the center. This agreement
contemplates that Casto make a payment to JP Morgan for the land of something much
less than the true FMV and JP Morgan contribute the property into the deal for some
level of back ended payment or profit distribution. As a result, the agreement
contemplates that the net book value of the center be used as the land cost in the
development pro-formas. The net book value attributed to this project as a cost is $45
million.
This structure provides the deal with a clear advantage to appropriate development return
on the overall deal.
In order to show the order of magnitude of this, if you take the current NOI of the center
of approximately $5.5 million in its current configuration and impute a 7.5%
capitalization rate, you rough out a $73.5 million sale price. Although, under a joint
venture agreement, it is very reasonable to assume that the difference in value is made up
by the provision to share profits if the development is successful. We can also conclude
that the JV structure puts a much lower up- front financial burden on the deal economics.
Vertical Construction Costs
The Developer is estimating that the vertical construction costs of the buildings that he is
responsible for constructing ranges from $85 - $210 per square foot.
Current market conditions show that hard construction costs for retail are $90 - $115 per
square foot for the core, shell and mechanicals (commonly called the "vanilla box") and
then interior finishes or tenant improvements range from $0 - $110 per square foot
depending on the actual retailer going into the space. The higher end of the range is
generally for lifestyle tenants, in which this development is being proposed.
Based on these market averages, the Developer's cost are being estimated well within the
reasonable range of where the market is today.
Site Work
The Developer is estimating that the site work will be $198,048 per acre and in addition
to that $10 million is for sub-surface renovation.
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
A general rule of thumb for site preparation costs is $5 per land square foot for a site that
is essentially ready to go. That equates to about $220,000 per acre.
One must also realize that site preparation vary greatly from site to site, particularly when
you get into in-fill or redevelopment projects in areas that are already built and
established.
However, the estimates provided here seem very reasonable given "Greenfield"
standards.
The $10 million in sub-surface renovation is really an extraordinary cost of the site due to
the sub-structures originally built under this center and the cost to renovate and covert
them.
We therefore, conclude that these costs are reasonably stated.
Soft Costs
There are many line items constituting the soft costs ranging from legal to interest paid.
We look at the total of the soft costs in aggregate given that anyone line item within the
soft cost budget can vary widely from budget to actual. However, when cost are
estimated for any development project, the general rule is that soft costs should be about
25% ofthe hard costs being incurred by the Developer.
The Developer is estimating that the soft costs they are incurring are 20.68% oftheir hard
costs.
We believe that this cost is being estimated very reasonably and well within market
ranges.
Developer Fee
The Developer is proposing a $1.9 million developer fee.
The market range for development fees are 3.5% - 5% of total costs being incurred by the
Developer.
The Developer's proposed fee is 2 % ofthe total costs. Thus it is under market.
Also, in many cases, the development fee is often thought of as developer profit. When
within market ranges, this is not the case. The investors that put equity into the project
must receive a market rate or acceptable rate of return to attract their equity. The
development fee is for the Developer's significant time, effort and overhead of putting a
deal together. Many times the investors and the Developer are not the same. Therefore,
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
in my opinion, a market rate development fee should be paid to the Developer which is in
addition to the return to the capital to the investors.
REVENUES
Lease Rates
The Developer is estimating that lease rates range from $15 psf at the low end to $26.69
psf. The average of these is about $20 psf.
When you look at weighted averages of the rents for big box anchored retail power
centers with the lifestyle component, you are generally seeing averages of $18 - $30 psf
in markets similar to Mt. Prospect. Given where the market is today and how retailers are
cutting back, it is very reasonable to assume that the high end of the range is not feasible
as it may have been 3 or 4 years ago.
The Developer is, for all practical purposes, at the mid-point of this range and therefore, I
believe his pro-formas are very reasonable in that respect.
Profit Levels
The Developer has requested a municipal financing agreement that contemplates $25
million which would put them at an 8% return on total costs.
· Total Developer Cost - ($154 million)
· Less: Net Proceeds of Bonds - $25 million
· Net Cost of Deal- ($129 million)
· Total Projected Net Operating Income as Redeveloped - $10.3 million
Total Return on Costs - 8% (NOI divided by $129 million)
This methodology of calculating returns is very appropriate when the Developer is
proposing to hold the property for a very long period of time. This is the case here. The
current owner is part of the development entity, wherein the business model is not to
developer and sell.
We can also look at this on a static pro-forma sale type basis as follows:
· Capitalized Value of NO I (using 7.5% cap) - $137.5 million
· Less Net Cost of Project - $129 million
· Total Estimated Profit on Sale - $8.5 million
Total Profit Level- 6.6% ($8.5 million divided by $129 million)
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
Benchmarking of Market Profit Levels
There are many benchmarks of profit or return to capital for a real estate development
project. Unleveraged rate of return on a long term hold basis is one of them. Others are
static profit on costs, unleveraged internal rate of return on costs assuming a sale,
leveraged return on equity, and others. These three are the most widely used.
General market rates for these measures are currently as follows:
. Unleveraged rate of return (assuming long term hold) - 10% - 12%
. Static return on costs - 17% - 20%
. Unleveraged internal rate of return on total project costs (assuming a sale)-
13.5% - 15%
. Leveraged internal rate of return on equity - 25% - 30%
All of these market based measures when calculated show the same level of profit or
return to a developer in general terms. In other words, a 10% unleveraged rate of return
(assuming long term hold), 17% static return on costs is approximately a 13%
unleveraged IRR on costs (assuming sale), and a 25% leveraged IRR to equity.
One way to benchmark and derive a market return is to use the Korpacz Survey, as
published by PricewaterhouseCoopers. This is an annual report that shows the
unleveraged IRR on a total project cost for a fully stabilized asset. In other words, this
survey annually benchmarks what a institutional investor would require in terms of an
IRR for a fully constructed and stabilized asset if they paid for it entirely with cash.
This survey shows that the required return for an institutional investor to purchase a big
box anchored power center hovers right around 11.5% unleveraged IRR. If then you add
100 - 150 basis points for construction risk and 100 - 150 basis points for lease and
stabilization risk, you arrive at a market benchmark for return of 13.5% - 15%
unleveraged IRR if one buys land and develops it.
It is our conclusion that the profit levels being shown here are very reasonable and
frankly, under current market rates for these types of redevelopments.
Projections of Revenue and Structure Being Discussed
Weare currently in discussions with the developer on the exact form of the
reimbursement to them of the $25 million.
Weare discussing revenue bonds and revenue notes that, by nature, are no recourse to the
Village. That is if the pledges of cash flow assigned to repay them don't materialize in
the amount we project, the developer note the bond/note holders do not have any claim
against the Village.
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
The pledges of cash flow to repay the securities are tied only to revenues generated by the
redevelopment project. Therefore, ifthe developer does not perform, the value ofthe
obligations is directly impacted negatively. Conversely, if the development goes better
than planned, they are limited to $25 million (net proceeds) and the Village receives the
project cash flow that is in excess of that repayment.
The pledges from the Project are currently contemplated as follows:
· Business District Tax - we are proposing to impose an additional Business
District sales tax on Randhurst only in the amount of 0.25%. As part of the deal,
Costco is being carved out ofthat imposition. (New tax)
· Food and Beverage Tax - We are pledging all the food and beverage tax
generated by the Project to the Notes/Bonds. (Existing 1% tax)
· Hotel Tax - We are discussing to increase the hotel tax to 6% and pledge the hotel
tax from the Project only to the notes/bonds. (Current tax - 3%, New tax - 6%
total)
· Amusement Tax - Weare proposing to impose a $0.25 amusement tax on theater
tickets, which would also be pledged to the notes/bonds. (New tax)
· Incremental Sales Tax - We are contemplating pledging the incremental local
distributive share of the sales tax only. Incremental being defined as the sales
taxes over what the center is currently producing. Therefore, the Village is out no
money that is has right now. (2007 base sales of$236 million = $3.65 million in
sales taxes)
Note - there will be significant increases in sales tax generation, and no home rule sales
tax is being pledged to this deal. That all inures to the Village.
The Business District bonds/note would have a 23-year life as mandated by Illinois
Statute and the remainder of the bonds would have a 3D-year life in order to achieve the
required net proceeds of $25 to make the deal work. The bonds would be structured that,
after a call protection period, that principal would be paid down early. Thus, if
everything goes according to projections, the bonds could be paid down in about a 20-
year timeframe.
This structure and amortization periods will allow the Village to protect its current sales
tax base and 100% of its home rule sales tax.
One of our main goals throughout this negotiation is to preserve the Villages general
revenues, primarily the main revenue of sales tax. Therefore, we have arrived at this
structure at this point in time. This add-on Business District sales tax is a critical
component to this deal if we are to preserve the Village's general sales tax. To give you
an idea of the order of magnitude of this, every 0.25% represents approximately $4
million in net proceeds of bonds from this deal. If this tax were not able to be
implemented for whatever reason, we would need to find $4 million from another Village
general revenue source to replace it. However, we believe that this center can qualify for
To: The Village of Mount Prospect
Subject: Review of Proposed Randhurst Mall Redevelopment
a Business District and it is a concept that the developer and retailers' don't typically
make a deal breaking issue.
It is my opinion that we are in the process of negotiating and achieving a structure that is:
. No recourse to the Village
. Only defeased by Project revenues
. Protects the Village's interests in the general sales tax
. Gives the developer the amount that they need to execute the deal
. Gets the deal done for the benefit of all
. Maintain the long-term viability of Randhurst
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMEDATIONS
Based upon my review of the costs, revenues, value, increment and sales tax production
of this proposed development, it is my opinion that a request of $25 million is very
reasonable. Frankly, ifthey are to achieve current market rates of return, they should be
requesting in range of$35 - $40 million.
The Developer along with the current owner is very well capitalized and already owns the
center and is a very good position to be able to finance and execute this project.
Also, $25 million in the context of a $154 million total project or approximately 16% of
total project cost is optically within the range of many other projects. Of which, this
percentage of public contribution often is in the 20% - 25% range oftotal project costs,
and sometimes higher.
Therefore, I recommend that the $25 million (net proceeds) request by the Developer be
seriously considered and a business deal worked out along the lines of the structure that is
discussed above.

required for public utilities and sidewalks. A plat of easement providing a 5.5 feet easement along 19-21
S. Emerson Street has been prepared to provide such access. This 5.5 feet easement is consistent with
the property to the north and provides the necessary area to install public improvements.
The Plat of Easement requires Village Board review and approval. Attached is a copy of the Plat of
Easement prepared by the Applicant. It denotes the location of the utility and sidewalk easement and
includes the appropriate signature blocks. Staff has reviewed the plat and found it to be prepared
according to all Village codes and requirements.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their July 15,2008 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this
matter.

FLOODPlAIN ORDINANCE MODIFICATIONS
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM:
VILLAGE ENGINEER
DATE:
JULY 10. 2008
BACKGROUND
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued updated Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRM's) for all of Cook County. The revised maps more accurately depict
the floodplain areas for all communities including Mount Prospect. FEMA held open
houses for local government officials and for the public at large to view and comment on
the maps. The Village staff has reviewed the maps and has found them to be the best
representation of the floodplain areas in the Village. FEMA has established an effective
date for the maps as August 19, 2008.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requires that communities enact and
enforce Floodplain Regulations in order to be eligible to participate in and receive the
benefits of the NFIP. Mount Prospect accomplished this in 1977 by adopting Chapter 22
of the Village Ordinances entitled Floodplain Regulations. Periodically these regulations
require modifications for various reasons. Ordinance amendments were approved by
the Village in 1987. 1992, 2000 and most recently in 2007 when new Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FI RM) were prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) for one specific waterway. These regulations specify that the regulated
floodplain areas are those depicted on the FIRM maps. To avoid confusion when maps
are modified, FEMA requires that our code reference the effective date of the most
current map. Prior to the effective date of the maps. it will be necessary for the Village
to modify the Village's Floodplain Regulations to formally adopt the new date of the
maps.
NEW MAPS FEATURES
The new maps reflect new flood studies that were performed for the tributary waterways
and creeks leading into the Des Plaines River. This new data was then overlaid onto
aerial maps to provide more accuracy in determining the location of the floodplain limits
especially in relation to individual properties and structures. More precise ground
elevations were used to produce better contour maps to more accurately delineate the
floodplain areas.

Floodplain Ordinance Modifications
July 10, 2008
IMPACTS OF NEW MAPS
The Village staff has compared the new maps to the current maps that were adopted in
2000, and have identified the impacts to properties and structures within the Village. In
general the impacts are very positive. Many properties and buildings currently located
within the floodplain have been mapped outside of the floodplain. However, a few
properties and buildings are now shown within the limits of the floodplain that are not
in the current maps. The results are shown below.
Properties removed from the floodplain:
Buildings removed from floodplain limits:
123
193
Properties added within the floodplain:
Buildings added within the floodplain:
6
11
Most of the changes occurred along Weller Creek, which saw a drop of 3' in the
floodplain elevation, because of the restudy of the creek and the improved accuracy of
the mapping techniques.
RECOMMENDATIONS
D Map Adoption: I recommend revisions to Chapter 22 of the Village Code to adopt
the new maps and reflect the new effective date of August 19. 2008. Please place this
on the agenda for the July 15th Village Board Meeting. Since this needs to be
accomplished prior to the effective date of the maps which is August 19, 2008, I
recommend that the second reading be waived so that this item can be approved
prior to the effective date.
D New Floodplain Properties Buildings: Similar to when the new maps Were adopted
in 2000, I recommend that the Village prepare elevation certificates for the new
buildings that have been included within the floodplain limits to determine if they are
within the floodplain by actual ground elevations. If the elevations indicate that they
should not be included within the floodplain, I recommend that the Village submit a
Letter of Map Amendment (LaMA) to FEMA requesting that the building be
removed from the floodplain. This is similar to what was accomplished when the
maps were changes in 2000 as residents in the northeast section of the Village along
the Des Plaines River and McDonald Creek Were impacted.
I will be available at the July 15th Village Board meeting to ansWer any questions.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 ENTITLED
"FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS"
OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF
MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS ACTING IN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR
HOME RULE POWERS:
SECTION ONE: That Section 22.102, "Definitions" of Chapter 22 of the Village Code of Mount
Prospect, as amended, is hereby further amended by deleting the definitions of "Floodplain" and
"Regulatory Floodway" in their entirety and inserting new definitions of "Floodplain" and
"Regulatory Floodway," which shall be and read as follows:
"FLOODPLAIN": That land typically adjacent to a body of water with ground surface elevations
at or below the base flood or the 100-year frequency flood elevation. Floodplains may also
include detached special flood hazard areas, ponding areas, etc. The floodplain is also known
as the SFHA. The floodplains are those lands within the jurisdiction of the Village that are
subject to inundation by the base flood or 100-year frequency flood. The SFHAs of the Village
are generally identified as such for the Des Plaines River, Feehanville Ditch, Higgins Creek,
McDonald Creek, McDonald Creek Tributary B and Weller Creek on the Cook County Flood
Insurance Rate Map prepared by FEMA on Map Number 170131 C panels 0202J, 0203J,
0204J, 0206J, 0207J, 0208J, 0209J, 0211J, 0212J, 0214J and 0216J dated August 19, 2008.
The SFHAs of those parts of unincorporated Cook County that are within the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of the Village or that may be annexed into the Village are generally identified as such
on panel number 0209J, 0212J and 0214J of the countywide Flood Insurance Rate Map
prepared for Cook County by FEMA and dated August 19, 2008.
"REGULATORY FLOODWAY": The channel, including on stream lakes and that portion of the
floodplain adjacent to a stream or watercourse, as designated by IDNR/OWR, which is needed
to store and convey the existing and anticipated future 1 OO-year frequency flood discharge with
no more than a one-tenth foot (0.1 ') increase in stage due to the loss of flood conveyance or
storage, and no more than a ten per cent (10%) increase in velocity. The floodways are
designated for the Des Plaines River, Feehanville Ditch, Higgins Creek, McDonald Creek,
McDonald Creek Tributary B and Weller Creek on the Cook County Flood Insurance Rate Map
prepared by FEMA on Map Number 170131 C panels 0202J, 0203J, 0204J, 0206J, 0207J,
0208J, 0209J, 0211J, 0212J, 0214J and 0216J dated August 19, 2008. To locate the regulatory
floodway boundary on any site, the regulatory floodway boundary should be scaled off the
regulatory floodway map and located on the site plan using reference points common to both
maps. Where interpretation is needed to determine the exact location of the regulatory
floodway boundary, IDNR/OWR should be contacted for any interpretation.
SECTION TWO: That Section 22.105, "Base Flood Elevation" of Chapter 22 of the Village
Code of Mount Prospect as amended shall be further amended by deleting items A. and B. in
their entirety and inserting new items A. and B., which shall be and read as follows:
iManaae:175625 10
Amend Chapter 22
Page 2 of2
A. The base flood or 1 DO-year frequency flood elevation for the SFHAs of the Des Plaines
River, Feehanville Ditch, McDonald Creek, McDonald Creek Tributary B, and Weller Creek
shall be as delineated on the 1 DO-year flood profiles in the flood insurance study of Cook
County prepared by FEMA and dated August 19, 2008 and such amendments to such study
and maps as may be prepared from time to time.
B. The base flood or 1 DO-year frequency flood elevation for the SFHAs of those parts of
unincorporated Cook County that are within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Village that
may be annexed into the Village shall be as delineated on the 1 DO-year flood profiles in the
flood insurance study of Cook County prepared by FEMA and dated August 19, 2008 and
such amendments or revisions to such study and maps as may be prepared from time to
time.
SECTION THREE: That this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, approval and publication in pamphlet form in the manner provided by law.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM:
PROJECT ENGINEER
DATE:
JULY 10, 2008
SUBJECT: JUNE SAFETY COMMISSION MEETING
TRAFFIC STUDY AROUND ST. PAUL LUTHERAN SCHOOL & C
The Safety Commission transmits their recommendation to
eliminate the part-time one-way designations along School Street and Busse A venue
adjacent to St. Paul Lutheran School and Church.
In the summer of 2007, various traffic regulations were changed around St. Paul Lutheran School in an
effort to enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety. At the time, the Safety Commission and Village Board
of Trustees requested that the Engineering Division perform a post-study in the spring of 2008 to
determine the effect of the changes. Staff was asked to take into account school, church and park
activities.
School Activities -
During the Engineering Division's observations of drop-off and pick-up, traffic conditions were orderly
and safe for both parents and students. Issues such as motorists disobeying the one-way designation on
Busse Avenue, students walking between cars, and traffic congestion on School Street and Elm Street
have been solved. And other issues such as double-parking and parking close to crosswalks have been
minimized. Overall, conditions have improved and the school continues to support the new traffic
regulations.
Church Activities -
The church recently completed a renovation project to the building. While scheduled for a future phase,
the parking lot was not expanded as part of the initial work. The Police Department observed traffic
conditions on a Sunday morning and reported little problems. On-street parking was present but
congestion along the streets was not evident. The one-way southbound designation along School Street
from Central Road to Evergreen A venue on Sunday mornings, however, was routinely disobeyed even
though signs are in place. There is also a one-way westbound designation along Busse Avenue from Elm
Street to Owen Street according to Village Code though no signs are in place. This ordinance, too, was
routinely disobeyed.
Park Activities -
The three streets that border Owen Park: Busse A venue, School Street and Owen Street all have a 2-hour
parking limit from 7:00am-6:00pm Monday-Friday. The Engineering Division observed traffic
conditions during weekday evenings and on a Saturday afternoon and did not see any issues. There were
people at both the playground and ball field during our visits. On-street parking was observed but there
was no congestion evident along the streets surrounding the park.

June Safety Commission Meeting
July 10, 2008
Resident Survey -
As part of the post-study, 17 surveys were sent to nearby homes soliciting their feedback on the traffic
regulation changes and their observations during school, church and park functions. Surveys were also
sent to the school, church and park district. Three surveys were returned. All supported the changes
made last year around the school.
This issue was discussed at the June 9, 2008 Safety Commission Meeting. There were two residents in
the audience to speak on this issue. One commented that the recent traffic regulation changes around the
school have improved conditions and the other had no objections. After some discussion, the Safety
Commission agreed that the new traffic regulations have enhanced safety and no further changes
associated with school-related traffic were necessary.
The remainder of the conversation focused on Sunday morning church-related traffic. Based on feedback
from the Police, Fire and Public Works Departments as well as the residents in the audience, the Safety
Commission concluded that doing away with the part-time one-way designations on School Street and
Busse Avenue would eliminate the routine disobedience and confusion, allow residents easier access into
and out of the neighborhood, and would not compromise safety.
By a vote of 9-0, the Safety Commission recommends the following:
· Repeal the ordinance that provides for a one-way westbound designation along
Busse Avenue between Elm Street and Owen Street on Sundays from 7:00am
and 1:00pm (Section 18.2003).
· Repeal the ordinance that provides for a one-way southbound designation along
School Street between Central Road and Evergreen Avenue on Sundays from
7:00am and 1:00pm (Section 18.2003).
Since both the original and post-study surveys were sent only to those residents around the school, the
Safety Commission asked that another survey be sent to those residents that would be directly affected by
this latest recommendation. 24 surveys were, therefore, sent to nearby homes soliciting their feedback on
the recommended changes to School Street and Busse Avenue. Surveys were also sent to the school,
church and park district. The Engineering Division received comments from only two residents. One
supported the change to eliminate the part-time one-way designations and the other opposed the change.
The survey also indicated the recommendation would be presented to the Village Board of Trustees at the
July 15th Village Board Meeting and invited the residents to attend.
Please include this item on the July 15th Village Board Meeting Agenda. Enclosed is a location map for
your reference.

CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
There was no one in attendance that spoke on an issue not on the agenda.
OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business to discuss.
NEW BUSINESS
A) TRAFFIC STUDY AT ST. PAUL LUTHERAN SCHOOL
1) Background Information
In the summer of 2007, various traffic regulations were changed around St. Paul Lutheran School
in an effort to enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety. The Safety Commission and Village
Board of Trustees requested that the Engineering Staff perform a post-study in the spring of 2008
to determine the effect of the changes. Staff was asked to take into account school, church and
park activities.
2) Current Traffic Regulations
1. Busse Avenue in front of the school was converted from a one-way westbound street during
specific times of the school day to a two-way street at all times during the school day.
2. There is now a 15-Minute Parking School Days 8:00am-4:00pm parking regulation along
the north side of Busse Avenue between Elm Street and School Street.
3. There is now a No Parking Drop-Off / Pick-Up Zone School Days 8:00am-4:00pm parking
regulation along the west side of School Street between Busse Avenue and Central Road
excluding the first 196' north of Busse Avenue and first 150' south of Central Road.
4. There is now a No Stopping, Standing, Parking School Days 8:00am-4:00pm parking
regulation along the south side of Busse Avenue between Elm Street and School Street, the
east side of School Street between Busse Avenue and Central Road, and the west side of Elm
Street from Busse Avenue to a point 150' north.
5. There is a two-hour parking limit Monday-Friday 7:00am-6:00pm on many of the streets in
the neighborhood.
6. School Street from Central Road to Evergreen Avenue is one-way southbound and Busse
Avenue from Elm Street to Owen Street is one-way westbound on Sundays from 7:00am-
1 :OOpm.
3) Observation & Evaluation
School Activities -
During the Engineering Staffs observations of drop-off and pick-up, traffic conditions were
orderly and safe for both parents and students. Issues such as motorists disobeying the one-way
designation on Busse A venue, students walking between cars, and traffic congestion on School
Street and Elm Street have been solved. And other issues such as double-parking and parking
close to crosswalks have been minimized. During our visits, parents were observed to park
illegally on only a few occasions. Overall, however, conditions have improved.
Church Activities -
The church has recently completed a renovation project to the building. While scheduled for a
future phase, the parking lot was not expanded as part of the initial work. The Police Department
observed traffic conditions on a Sunday morning and reported little problems. On-street parking
I
was present but congestion along the streets was not evident. The one-way southbound
designation along School Street from Central Road to Evergreen Avenue on Sunday mornings,
however, was routinely disobeyed even though signs are in place. There is also a one-way
westbound designation along Busse Avenue from Elm Street to Owen Street according to Village
Code though no signs are in place. This ordinance, too, was routinely disobeyed.
Park Activities-
The three streets that border Owen Park: Busse A venue, School Street and Owen Street all have
a 2-hour parking limit from 7:00am-6:00pm Monday-Friday. The Engineering Staff observed
traffic conditions during weekday evenings and on a Saturday afternoon and did not see any
issues. There were people at both the playground and ball field during our visits. On-street
parking was observed but there was no congestion evident along the streets surrounding the park.
ResidentlParent Survey -
As part of the post-study, 17 surveys were sent to nearby homes soliciting their feedback on the
traffic regulation changes and their observations during school, church and park functions.
Surveys were also sent to the school, church and park district. 3 surveys were returned. All
support the changes made last year. One commented that the one-way designation along School
Street is not adhered to and another one commented that some parents to do not follow the
parking restrictions during the school day.
4) Recommendations
School - Based on the Engineering Staff's observations, the new traffic regulations appear to be
effective in creating an orderly and safe environment. No further traffic regulation changes are
recommended. However, it would be beneficial to remind parents via letter prior to the start of
the school year to not park close to crosswalks and to not double-park. Police Department
presence at the beginning of the school year would help to reinforce the traffic regulations.
Church - The one-way designations on Sunday mornings along School Street and Busse Avenue
are recommended to be removed to allow for two-way traffic at all times. The one-way
designations were put into place in 1971 but appear to not be of benefit today. Since some
residents affected by this potential change are outside the current notification area, it is
recommended that they be informed and that this issue be discussed in greater detail at a future
Safety Commission Meeting. Further, we would want to inform the church of the potential
change as well. There are no other changes to the traffic regulations recommended around the
church.
Park - No traffic-related issues were observed during the Engineering Staff's visits to the park.
Also, a representative of the park district was not aware of any issues. There are no changes to
the traffic regulations recommended around the park.
5) Discussion
Chairman Keane introduced the issue and opened the discussion to the public.
Michael Landgraf, 21 S. School Street, supports the changes to the traffic regulations associated
with school drop-off and pick-up activities. With respect to Sunday morning traffic, there is a lot
of on-street parking on School Street. The one-way designation during this time should be
signed better or eliminated to allow for two-way traffic because many motorists don't follow the
existing signs. Further, he believes there should be some consideration for limiting parking on
one side of School Street during Sunday mornings.
Carol Lynch, 919 S. Maple Street, is a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and was not aware
Busse Avenue is designated a one-way street on Sunday mornings.
Chairman Keane asked Traffic Engineer Lawrie to present Staff s study and recommendations.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie then shared with the Commission Staff s observations and
recommendations.
Chairman Keane brought the issue back to the Commission.
There was consensus from the Commission that the traffic regulations around the school have
been effective in creating a safe environment. The discussion then focused on church activities.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie commented that limiting parking to one side of School Street and Busse
A venue on Sunday mornings would displace many vehicles. With the church and school parking
lots full, on-street parking would extend further into the neighborhood. Commissioner Bencic
and others said they thought Busse Avenue was wider than School Street and two-way traffic
could be maintained even with parking on both sides of the street. One issue with School Street
is that there are many driveways and allowing parking on both sides of the street can make it
difficult for residents to maneuver in and out of their driveways.
There was a question about emergency vehicle access. Battalion Chief Livingston said there was
an alarm at St. Paul Lutheran Church on a recent Sunday morning and the Fire Department was
able to negotiate School Street even with vehicles parked on both sides of the street.
Commissioner Fisher commented that allowing parking on both sides of the street prevented thru
traffic during the Fire Department's response. This created a safe situation for the personnel.
Sergeant Eterno commented that residents on other streets may also want parking restrictions if
parking is limited on School Street and Busse Avenue.
Chairman Keane told the Commission there are a couple of issues to consider. First, should the
Sunday morning one-way designation on School Street and Busse Avenue be eliminated and,
second, should parking restrictions be enacted on streets around the church.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie reiterated Staffs recommendation to convert School Street and Busse
Avenue to two-way streets on Sunday mornings and to allow on-street parking to remain as is.
Sergeant Eterno supports two-way streets because motorists are more likely to disobey the part-
time one-way designation because it can be confusing.
Commissioner Tortorello asked if the parking regulations did not change could the Police
Department review the situation in the fall to determine if any restrictions are necessary. Traffic
Engineer Lawrie and Sergeant Eterno responded that Staff could again review the issue in the
fall.
There was consensus from the Commission that School Street and Busse Avenue should be
designated two-way streets at all times including on Sunday mornings. Traffic Engineer Lawrie
suggested that those residents who are outside the current survey area but who would be affected
by this change be notified before the change.
After some further discussion, Commissioner Bencic, seconded by Commissioner Pampel,
moved to remove the Sunday morning one-way designations on School Street between Central
Road and Evergreen A venue, and on Busse Avenue between Owen Street and Elm Street
resulting in both streets having a two-way designation at all times. Also, a notice is to be sent to
the affected properties and allow for a two-week period for feedback. If there are no objections,
Staff is to present the change to the Village Board of Trustees for final approval. If there are
objections, Staff is to bring the issue back to the Safety Commission for further discussion.
Finally, there are no recommended changes to the parking regulations at this time. Staff,
(
however, is to review the parking situation around the church in the fall to determine whether
any parking restrictions are necessary.
The motion was approved by a vote of 9-0.
Commissioner Fisher asked that the church be notified of the change to the one-way designation
so that the parishioners can also be made aware.
COMMISSION ISSUES
Chairman Keane requested the Commission choose a new Vice Chair. This person would
facilitate the meetings in the absence of the Chairman. After some discussion, there was
consensus that Commissioner Bencic would serve as Vice Chairman.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie updated the Commission on the status of the Neighborhood Traffic
Study. He indicated the next Open House would be in September or October.
Commissioner Tortorello asked that Staff review whether any portion of Evergreen Avenue in
front of St. Mark Church is a designated Fire Lane. If so, she requested that it be signed
accordingly.
ADJOURNMENT
. With no further business to discuss, the Safety Commission voted 9-0 to adjourn at 8:05 p.m. upon the
motion of Commissioner Pampel. Commissioner Bencic seconded the motion.
Respectfully submitted,
Matthew P. Lawrie, P.E.

TO:
VILLAGE BOARD AND FINANCE COMMISSION
DATE: JUNE 6, 2008 (UPDATED)
SUBJECT: PROPOSED CIP: 2009-2013
Attached hereto is the proposed 2009-2013 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). The ojects
being considered for the year 2009 total $21,989,401. The five-year total for all projects is
$57,178,404.
We encourage you to read the Manager's transmittal letter beginning on page ii. This
correspondence describes the purpose of the CIP, highlights some of the more significant
projects, and reviews project funding. To help you evaluate our ability to fund the requested
projects we have again provided five-year financial forecasts for the major operating and capital
project funds that provide funding for the CIP. These forecasts can be found in Section H of the
document.
In general, the projects being presented directly relate to the monies expected to be available.
However, from reviewing the CIP requests in conjunction with the five-year financial forecasts I
would like to direct your attention to several project areas.
General Fund Proiects
The CIP is showing the five-year average of projects being paid from General Fund revenues as
$407,000 (A-1 0). This is typical ofthe amount of capital projects funded by the General Fund on
an annual basis. I would like to point out the five-year financial forecast for the General Fund.
This forecast is showing an operating deficit in 2009 of $907,727 with annual deficits increasing
each subsequent year through 2013 ($3,759,017). See the complete five-year forecast for the
General Fund beginning on page H-1.
Motor Fuel Tax Fund (MFT)
Receipts from motor fuel taxes beginning in 2008 are expected to remain flat through 2013. Due
to the flattening of the motor fuel taxes, the Fund has annual deficits for every year of the
forecast. This is significant as the MFT Fund supports approximately one-half of the funding for
the annual street program. Originally to be finished in 2006, the completion of the street program
was pushed back to 2009 due to budget constraints. Shortfalls in MFT funding for the street
program will be made up using monies from the Street Improvement Construction Fund.
Proposed CIP
June 6, 2008
Page 2 of 3
Capital Improvement Fund
The Capital Improvement Fund is meant to support intermediate sized capital expenditures for
various departments that are non-recurring in nature. Some examples of these projects are
Detention Pond Improvements, PW Emergency Generator and Video Conferencing between the
three fire stations. From 2002 through 2007 approximately $3.7 million in projects were deferred
due to discontinuing the General Fund transfer. In 2007, the Village Board approved a
permanent funding source for these mid-sized capital projects. An additional X percent home
rule sales tax was implemented beginning January 2008 that will generated approximately $1.3
million annually. A portion of the revenue will be allocated towards building up the fund balance
for the Capital Improvement Fund and the Village's two Parking Funds. Approximately $1.0
million annually will be available for capital projects. Projects included in the five-year plan after
2010 will need to be further prioritized with some deferrals to bring the total annual amount down
to what can be supported with current revenue streams.
Street Improvement Construction Fund Proiects
The forecast for the Street Improvement Fund (H-11) is showing a positive fund balance of
$483,274 at the end of 2008, but the fund balance will become a deficit by the end of 2009 due to
slowing revenues. Revenue to support the program comes from the state and local motor fuel
tax and X percent home rule sales tax. Each of these revenue sources are expected to either
decline (home rule sales tax) or remain flat (state motor fuel tax) over the next year resulting in
fewer funds available to fund the street program. Adjustments to the amount of work planned
each year will be necessary if these revenue sources do not rebound during 2009.
Flood Control Construction Fund Proiects
Fund balance for this Fund is projected to be $81,511 at December 31,2008 (H-12). Two larger
size flood control projects for Prospect Meadows ($600,000) and McDonald Creek ($1 ,500,000)
are planned over the next five years. Although funding from the X cent sales tax (portion not
allocated for debt service) becomes available in 2010, there are temporary shortfalls in 2009 and
2011 that need to be addressed. After 2011, sufficient funding is available to support the
ongoing flood control program.
Water and Sewer Fund
There are several large capital projects included in the CIP for 2009-2013. The first is the
ongoing Combined Sewer Improvement project started in 2005. The total cost for the project
was originally estimated at $15 million and expected to take 10 years to complete. Funding for
this project comes from a $5 per month sewer construction fee and basic sewer usage fee.
Based on early results, the overall costs may come in lower than originally estimated and
completion could occur before the planned 10 years. Other major projects include ongoing
sewer and water main replacements/rehab averaging $813,000 per year and emergency
generators for water pumping stations at approximately $360,000 per year through 2011. Water
tank rehab totaling $1 .3 million is also included in the five-year forecast for the Water and Sewer
Fund. The cash and investment balance is projected to remain relatively level over the five-year
period and end 2013 with approximately $3.5 million.

Fundina to be Determined
The CIP is showing five new projects were funding has yet to be determined. These projects
include the construction of a new Fire Station 14 at $8.6 million, expansion of the Public Works
vehicle maintenance building at $2.3 million and construction of an Emergency Operations
Center for approximately $2.1 million. A funding source also needs to be identified for the Ash
removal/replacement program expected to cost $4 million over a ten-year period. All five
projects are slated to begin in 2009 and 2010.
Meetings to review the CIP were held on June 18 with the Finance Commission and on July 8
with the Village Board. Staff was on hand at both meetings to discuss project submittals and
answer questions from the Commission and Board members. No changes were made to the
proposed document as a result of the two meetings. It is important to note that although a
project is included in the final CIP document, it does not guarantee funding and completion. Only
if sufficient funds are available will a project be included in the annual budget. Funding decisions
will not be finalized until later this year.
Please let me know ifthere are any questions regarding the Proposed CIP. Thanks.

Village of Mount Prospect
50 South Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056
June 6, 2008
The Honorable Irvana K. Wilks, Village President,
Board of Trustees, Finance Commission Members,
and Residents of the Village of Mount Prospect
1 am very pleased to forward to you a copy of the 2009-2013 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) of the Village of
Mount Prospect. This is the Village's twelfth CIP. The CIP gives us a clear, comprehensive view of our long-
term capital needs and a firm basis from which to begin the preparation of the next year's operating budget. The
total cost for all proposed projects in the 2009-2013 CIP is $57,178,404.
The Concept of a CIP
The CIP is our plan for capital expenditures/projects over the upcoming five years. We have defined capital
expenditures/projects, in general, as the purchase or construction of long-lived, high-cost, tangible assets. For our
purposes, "long-lived" implies a useful life in excess of one year. "High-cost" means that the project amounts to
at least $25,000. "Tangible" assets exclude contractual services except those that are necessary for putting a
tangible asset into service.
The guidelines for capital expenditures/projects have been relaxed in certain instances so as to include certain
items in the CIP that otherwise would not meet our basic definition of a capital item. For the first instance,
departments were asked to state any need for an addition to the Village's vehicle fleet as a CIP project request
even if the cost of the vehicle concerned would be less than $25,000. We have used this convention because the
purchase of a vehicle represents a substantial commitment on the part of the Village. Once a vehicle is recognized
as an operational need, lease payments to the Vehicle Replacement Fund (internal service fund charges) become
necessary in the budget programs of the operating departments so as to provide for the replacement of the vehicle.
In other words, we start programming the financial means to replace a vehicle in the year following its purchase.
Given the continuing financial implications of adding a vehicle to the Village fleet, proposals for additions to the
fleet should be closely scrutinized.
The second instance of relaxation of the capital project guidelines relates to certain high-cost projects that do not
necessarily give rise to a tangible asset but are related to maintaining capital assets. This has been done simply to
document the other large capital-related expenses that confront us. The best example of such a project included in
this CIP is Sewer Main Rehabilitation (page F-5).
In addition, Information Technology (IT) related projects are now part of the CIP. Many of these projects have
costs that fall below the $25,000 threshold, but are being included to coordinate IT purchases among the different
11
departments. This will also ensure that additions to the computer system are picked up in computer replacement
program, similar to the way replacement vehicle purchases are made using the vehicle replacement fund.
A project's inclusion in the CIP does not, in and of itself, commit the Village to funding and accomplishing it. As
stated above, the CIP identifies our capital needs. Available funds, taxing capacity, and debt capacity may require
that some projects ultimately be deferred beyond the years in which they are initially programmed for
accomplishment in the CIP. Even so, the CIP will have served its purpose as a planning tool. However, projects
programmed for the first year of the CIP (the year 2009 in the case of this 2009-2013 document) take on special
importance because they must be addressed in the next year's Village operating budget. To help understand the
impact the proposed project/expenditure would have on the Village's finances, detailed five-year financial
forecasts for all major operating and capital funds have been included in this document and can be found in
Section H (Five-Year Financial Forecast).
The Review Process
The process that we have put in place to yield the CIP closely parallels what has been the Village's traditional
budget process. For the 2009-2013 CIP, the operating departments submitted their project requests to the Finance
Department. The Finance Department compiled the project requests. A staff review team consisting of the
Village Manager, Assistant Village Manager, Director of Finance and Deputy Finance Director then meet with
each of the departments to discuss the requests. The proposed CIP is then distributed to the Village Board and
Finance Commission for consideration (without a commitment to funding all included projects).
The Project Requests
You will note that most of the project requests included in the 2008-2012 CIP reappear in the 2009-2013
document. In some cases, a project scheduled for a particular year has been accelerated or deferred based upon
the staffs reassessment of Village needs. In other cases, the cost of a project may have changed due to our
obtaining more complete information about it. Refinements such as these are an appropriate part of the capital
projects planning process. The CIP is a working document. Our intent is to update it annually to reflect the
current needs of the Village and the best information available.
There are a few aspects of the 2009-2013 CIP that I would like to highlight.
· Street Improvement Program (page F-2). This submittal is part of the continuation of the street revitalization
program approved by the Board in early 1997. The amount allocated for resurfacing has decreased from the
original program spending plan. The street program is funded with a combination of MFT and Street
Improvement funds. Revenue shortfalls in 2001 - 2004 had forced the Street Improvement Fund to reduce its
contribution from the original plan amount. As a result, the expected completion date of the original program has
been pushed backed from 2006 to 2009. Revenue shortfalls are again having an impact on the timely completion
of the original program. If revenue from the home rule sales tax and the state motor fuel tax do not rebound
during 2009, the program may again need to be extended an additional year (into 2010). The 2009-2013 CIP is
showing a total of$14.95 million being spent on resurfacing over the five-year period.
· Flood Control Program (page F-4). Over the next five years, only two large-scale flood control improvement
projects are anticipated. Year two of the Prospect Meadows storm sewer and ditch improvements project is
scheduled for 2009. Total cost of the project is estimated at $600,000. The second large-scale project included in
the 2009-2013 CIP is the McDonald Creek Bank Stabilization. This project is estimated to cost $1.5 million.
Due to limited resources, this and other large-scale projects have been deferred until a dedicated funding source
becomes available. The dedicated funding source is a ~ percent home rule sales tax that is currently used to
support debt service issued for flood control related projects. A portion of the revenue becomes available during
2010 when several of the issues are expected to be paid off.
1ll
. Combined Sewer Improvements (page F-3). A study of the combined sewer service area revealed significant
structural deterioration of main line pipes and manholes. A combined sewer evaluation study was completed in
2004 and the results of this study were used to identify potential problems and prioritize repairs. Category 5
(immediate attention needed) defects were first addressed in 2006 and were completed in 2007. Category 4
(severe, although not as immediate) defects are expected to be addressed beginning in 2007 - 2009. Category 3
(less immediate) defects are to be corrected during 2010 - 2013. The total amount of the project was initially
estimated to be $15,000,000. Pricing during the early, most critical phases has been favorable and the total cost
for the program will likely come in below original estimates. Funding for the project comes from an increase in
the sewer rate and a $5.00 per month sewer construction fee.
. New Fire Station (page D-2). Due to the needed improvements of station 14, it is recommended that the
V illage pursue construction of a new fire station. A space needs study was competed in 2007 to determine an
appropriate size of the facility and provide an estimated cost of construction. It is estimated a new fire station will
cost $8.6 million. It is anticipated that surplus funds on hand will provide seed money for the project and partially
offset the cost of construction. The majority of funding has yet to be determined, but is expected to come from
the issuance of general obligation bonds.
. Public Works Expansion (page D-3). A companion project to fire station 14 is the expansion of the Public
Works maintenance facility. Once a new fire station 14 is constructed, additional maintenance facilities will be
needed to service fire vehicles. Currently, Fire Department fleet repairs are performed at station 14. Combining
the vehicle maintenance operations of Fire and PW makes better economic sense than trying to maintain two
separate facilities. The cost of the project is estimated to be $2.3 million. The timing of the project is tied to the
completion of the new fire station. This project was included as part ofthe space needs study to come up with the
estimated cost.
. Emergency Operations Center (page D-4). A final related project to fire station 14 and the expansion of the
Public Works maintenance facility is the construction of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The existing
EOC is too small and is poorly located. A new state of the art facility with a remote location will improve the
Village's ability to respond to multi-tiered emergencies. This project was also included as part of the space needs
study. The cost of the project is estimated to be $2.1 million.
. Ash Tree Removals and Replacement (pages F-15 and F-16). The Emerald Ash Borer is an exotic beetle that
was discovered in southeastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The adult beetle nibbles on ash
foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the
tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. This destructive pest was first found in Illinois in June 2006, in
Kane County. Since then it has been found in Wilmette, Evanston and Winnetka. In response to these
announcements, the Village of Mount Prospect is attempting to minimize the impact on its tree population by
establishing a systematic tree removal and replacement program for its Ash population. This ten-year program
will remove and replace all Ash trees on public property (4,251 trees). Current pricing for tree removal is $378
and for tree replacement is $286. Total estimated cost for the ten-year program (with inflation) is approximately
$4.0 million.
Sources of Funds
The 2009-2013 CIP includes a summary of "Projects by Sources of Funds" (pages A-I0 through A-12). This
summary provides an overview of the potential demands upon the Village's financial resources. A few comments
are warranted with regard to the "Projects by Sources of Funds" summary. To further assist the reader in
understanding the affordability of the proposed projects, five-year financial forecasts are included in this
document in Section H.
. General Fund. The General Fund is the Village's primary operating fund. The only capital projects charged
to the General Fund are those to be undertaken each and every year, although the level of funding from one yeare
IV
to the next may vary. Some of the projects charged directly to the General Fund include IT projects (G2-G4, G6-
G10 and GI2-15), sidewalk improvements (F-6 and F-9), tree planting (F-ll) and Aerial Photogrammetry (F-28).
There is typically $300,000 to $400,000 worth of projects charged to the General Fund each year. The General
Fund five-year forecast (H-2) is showing a preliminary deficit of $907,727 for 2009. It is expected that this
deficit will be addressed during the budget process to bring the budget into balance.
· Capital Improvement Fund. The Capital Improvement Fund is the Village's fund for
"intermediate sized" capital expenditures that are either nonrecurring or expected to end at a determinable point in
the future. It is not a fund through which bond proceeds are expended. Large capital purchases would generally
be made through a bond proceeds fund. Prior to 2001, the Village was able to transfer excess General Fund
revenues to the Capital Improvement Fund. However, stalled revenues resulted in our having to discontinue the
transfer beginning with the 2002 fiscal year. From 2002 through 2007 approximately $3.7 million in projects
were deferred due to discontinuing the General Fund transfer.
In 2007, the Village Board approved a permanent funding source for these mid-sized capital projects. An
additional y.j percent home rule sales tax was implemented beginning January 2008 that will generated
approximately $1.3 million annually. It is intended to allocate a portion of the revenue towards building up the
fund balance for both the Capital Improvement Fund and the Village's two Parking Funds. Approximately $1.0
million is available for capital projects. Fund balance at the end of 2007 in the Capital Improvement Fund was
$411,805. At the end of 2009 fund balance is expected to grow to $841,230. Fund balance shall be maintained at
50% of the five-year average for capital expenditures supported by this fund to a maximum of $1 million. Further
prioritizing of projects is needed in 2010 to ensure the goal of fund balance stabilization is met.
· Motor Fuel Tax Fund and Street Improvement Construction Fund. The street maintenance and resurfacing
programs are supported primarily from these two funds. Revenue to support the programs comes from the state
and local motor fuel tax and y.j percent home rule sales tax. As mentioned earlier in this transmittal, both of these
revenue sources are expected to decline (home rule sales tax) or remain flat (state motor fuel tax) over the next
couple years resulting in fewer funds available for program. Adjustments to the amount of work planned each
year will be necessary if these revenue sources do not rebound during 2009.
· Water and Sewer Fund. There are numerous projects listed in the CIP as being funded out of the Water and
Sewer Fund since they directly relate to our providing water and sanitary sewer service to customers. The 2009-
2013 CIP is showing projects valued at an average of $2.6 million per year over the next five years. The Water
and Sewer Fund had a cash and investment balance of $5.4 million at the end of 2007. Our five-year financial
forecast for this fund is shown on pages H-13 thru H-16. The current rate structure is sufficient to support
ongoing operations as well as the capital projects proposed in the five-year plan.
A great deal of staff time and effort has been invested in the development of the 2009-2013 CIP. Certainly, the
investment has been a prudent one. The CIP gives us a clear picture of the Village's capital needs for the next
several years. Meetings with the Village Board and Finance Commission to discuss the Proposed CIP will
provide further direction leading in the budget process for 2009.

Structure of the Document and the Project Request Form
Conceptually, there are two ways of organizing the various project requests: by requesting department
or by project type. Organization by department is most useful to the Village for management purposes.
Therefore, after the summaries section of the CIP, project requests are organized by department and set
off in separate sections.
The summaries section begins with a recapitulation of project requests by department on page A-I.
However, immediately following this recapitulation, beginning on page A-2, are several summaries by
project type group. These summaries provide the alternate view of the project requests. The project
type groups are: Water and Sanitary Sewer, Flood Control and related projects, Street
Construction/Reconstruction and Resurfacing, Public Buildings, Computer Hardware and Software,
Equipment, and Miscellaneous.
In the final pages of the summaries section, pages A-I0 through A-12, the project requests are listed by
their sources of funds.
Each departmental section begins with a summary of the project requests. Most of the blocks on the
project request form are self-explanatory. However, some elaboration about certain blocks may be
helpful.
. Project Name. In this block, each project is given a short title followed by an "(E)" if it is the
continuation of an established project or an "(N)" if it is a new project. Until funds are provided for
a project for at least one year in the Village operating budget, the project is considered to be new.
. Project Type Code. As stated above, each project or portion of a project has been assigned to a
project type group. Each group has a specific project type code. These codes are detailed on page
viii. Projects or portions thereof with the same project type code are presented in separate
summaries on pages A-3 through A-9.
. Description. This block provides a more detailed description of the project than is possible in the
"Project Name" block.
. 2009 Dept. Priority. Because projects for which amounts have been requested for 2009 must be
considered for funding during the formulation of the 2009 Village Budget, they take on special
importance. To facilitate the evaluation of these projects, the departments have prioritized them
with "1" being the highest priority, "2" the next highest, and so on. The priorities have been
assigned without regard to source of funds. This has been done to provide an overall picture of the
relative importance of each project from the department's perspective.
. Annual Dollar Impact Upon the Operating Budget. Operating expenditures may come with the
purchase or construction of a capital asset. For example, annual maintenance agreements are
necessary with many items of equipment. In some circumstances, the purchase of a capital asset
may enable the Village to reduce operating expenditures. Information provided in this block
addresses those effects.
. Source of Funds. A potential source of funds has been indicated for most projects. For some
projects, multiple potential sources are shown.
