Information
The Petitioner, Mark DiMeo of DiMeo Brothers Inc., is requesting conditional use approval to
construct a contractor's storage yard at 2400 E. Oakton Street, also known as the Subject
Property. The Village Zoning Code designates the Subject Property as I-1 Limited Industrial.
The proposal requires Village Board approval for the conditional use. The proposal meets the
requirements and standards related to the Village Code, and staff is supportive of the request.
The Subject Property was annexed into the Village of Mount Prospect (Village) in 2017 as part
of an annexation including approximately 40 acres of industrial and commercial property in
unincorporated Cook County. The Subject Property is bound by Oakton Street to the south,
Terminal Drive to the north, Badger Road to the west, and I-1 zoned properties to the east.
The Subject Property consists of three lots and is currently vacant. Based on historical aerial
photography, an industrial building existed on the Subject Property, but it was demolished
sometime between 2006 and 2007. The Subject Property currently provides two driveways
along Oakton Street, and both Terminal Drive and Badger Road are privately maintained.
Aside from a 2019 sign permit, no additional Village building permit history for the site exists.
Most of the Subject Property is within the floodplain of Higgins Creek, an unmapped waterway
that runs through South Mount Prospect, and along the north and eastern sides of the Subject
Property. It is noted that the Subject Property has considerable drainage and flood control
issues.
Discussion
Proposal: The Petitioner is a sewer and water contractor company that has been in operation
since 1973 and is currently located in Elk Grove Village. The Petitioner is seeking to relocate to
Mount Prospect and proposes to construct a two-story building consisting of office and
warehouse space with related improvements. The proposed contractor's yard will provide 31
passenger vehicle parking spaces, 29 truck parking spaces, and storage for materials and
heavy machinery including, but not limited to, material bins, trench and safety equipment,
truck and trailers, and manholes and pipes. As proposed, the project requires conditional use
approval for the contractor's storage yard. The various elements of the proposal are outlined
below.
Operations: Based on the Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) prepared by Kenig, Lindgren,
O'Hara, Aboona (KLOA), the proposed contractor's storage yard would have 7 to 10 office
employees, 5 to 6 garage employees, and 6 truck drivers. All employees would start their day
at 7:00 AM and the majority of the field employees would travel directly to the job sites. The
TIS assumes that all employees will arrive via a personal vehicle with the truck drivers leaving
in a truck during the same hour. During the weekday evenings, the truck drivers will arrive
back to the site in a truck and then all employees would leave in their personal vehicles.
Site Plan: The proposed site plan indicates that an approximately 34,500 square -foot building
will be constructed on the Subject Property. The proposed site layout proposes to keep the
existing driveways on Oakton Street. The western driveway will be located approximately 60
feet east of Badger Road and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the
outbound movements under stop sign control. The eastern driveway will be located
approximately 190 feet east of Badger Road and will provide one inbound lane and one
outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control.
Vehicles would enter from either of these two driveways; passenger vehicles would proceed
directly to the south parking lot and exit through the opposite driveway; truck vehicles would
enter only from the east driveway, proceed past the south parking lot via the drive aisle
located east of the proposed building, and travel directly to the truck vehicle parking and
storage yard located at the rear of the building. Trucks and construction vehicles would travel
in a counterclockwise rotation around the material storage area and would have the option to
park in the heavy machinery parking area located at the northeast corner of the Subject
Property or within the truck parking area located south of the material storage area. Truck
traffic would also exit to the east Oakton Street driveway via the drive aisle located along the
east side of the proposed building. As currently designed, the parking lot setbacks along
Oakton Street and along the north, east and west property lines will comply with the Village
Code's minimum ten -foot (10') parking lot setback.
The project also proposes a 20 -foot tall, dome -like accessory structure for outdoor material
storage bins at the northwest corner of the Subject Property and an 8 -foot tall, solid -style,
white vinyl perimeter fence. As part of the conditional use request, storage materials (such as
dirt, asphalt, concrete, stone, topsoil, hard steel, hard plastic, and concrete) measuring up to
a height of 12 feet would be visible above the 8 -foot tall perimeter fence. The site plan also
indicates a trash enclosure will be located northwest of the building. Detailed drawings will be
required with the building permit submittal.
A large underground storm system is planned to help alleviate the existing drainage and flood
control issues. Per the Petitioner, a hydraulic study of Higgins Creek was previously prepared
and approved by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources - Office of Water Resources
(IDNR-OWR) and is attached to the staff report. Per the Petitioner, the prior report will be
updated to reflect the current site plan and will define the base flood elevation and floodway
limits along Higgins Creek.
Traffic and Parking: The Petitioner submitted a Traffic Impact Statement (TIS). The study
concluded that the proposed facility will be a low traffic generator that will increase the volume
of traffic on Oakton Street by less than one percent, and the proposed access system
consisting of two full -movement access drives off Oakton Street will provide site access
flexibility that will ensure efficient and flexible access is provided. The TIS also concluded that
outbound movements from both access drives should be under stop sign control and that
exclusive right -turn lanes will not be warranted on Oakton Street at either driveway.
The Village Engineer has reviewed the TIS and requested confirmation that the TIS considers
future/full use of the site since the report notes 6 drivers, but the plans show 24 truck parking
spaces. Because of the proximity to Badger Road, the Public Works Department does not
support two (2) driveways onto Oakton Street; however, the Village will defer to the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) as Oakton is under their jurisdiction.
Building Elevations: The attached elevations indicate the proposed building will be
composed of precast wall paneling and clerestory windows. As shown, the proposed building
will not exceed the maximum height of 40' permitted in the I-1 zoning district. The building
height would measure twenty-seven feet six inches (27'-6") at its highest point.
Landscaping: A significant amount of new landscaping is being provided site wide and the
modifications to the site are an improvement to the existing conditions. The proposed
landscape plan indicates a continuous row of permanent peripheral screening around the
perimeter of the Subject Property. Staff has requested that the Petitioner remove all parkway
trees from the landscape plan as the Village will determine the types and locations of the
parkway trees. There are some minor revisions that need to be included in the current
landscape plan; however, staff is confident that appropriate landscaping can be achieved on
the site.
Plat of Consolidation: The Village recommends that the Petitioner consolidate the three lots
to eliminate the construction of improvements over existing lot lines.
Water Distribution System: A public water main runs along the north side of Terminal
Drive, just north of the Subject Property. The Village is considering the annexation of
approximately 47 acres of unincorporated land near the southern border of the Village to
provide municipal services to this area, including the provision of Village water. The Village is
requesting a 10 -foot wide easement along the west property line of the Subject Property for a
public water main that would connect the water distribution system along Terminal Drive to a
future Oakton Street water main extension, and eventually to the potential future annexation
properties. The Petitioner is agreeable and a condition of approval requiring the easement has
been added to the conditional use request.
Public Comment: As of this writing, staff has received one public comment letter. The public
comment letter was submitted by the Subject Property's neighbor, West Shore Pipe Line
Company and Wood River Pipelines, who noted the existence of four steel high pressure
petroleum products pipelines, ranging from 6" to 16" in diameter along the east side of Badger
Road. The aforementioned pipeline companies requested a grading plan to ensure that the
grade elevations of the west side of the property are not altered in a way that would adversely
impact the existing pipelines, cooperation between the aforementioned pipeline companies and
the Petitioner to ensure that any future water lines do not interfere or threaten the integrity of
the pipelines, and finally that any proposed landscaping does not threaten the integrity of the
pipelines. Staff has spoken with the pipeline companies and assured them that these
comments would be addressed during the building permit submittal.
Public Hearing: At the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on January 25, 2024, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the project by a vote of 6-0. One
member of the public voiced support for the project but asked the Village to consider a
partnership with the Petitioner and MRWD to alleviate the existing flooding and drainage
issues in the area and to improve the conditions of Higgins Creek. Staff stated that the
Petitioner is required by MWRD to fix any issues related to the creek near the Subject Property
and this would be the opportunity to review any specific plans that MWRD has that would be
part of the MWRD permit process. Director Cooney added that this area is also within a TIF
district and if there is Village contribution that would benefit the whole area, that is something
the Village would consider.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the information submitted, the surrounding uses, and the
proposed development's compliance with the Village's long-range planning documents, staff
recommends approval of the conditional use request. The proposed project would replace an
underutilized industrial site with a suitable, alternative use on parcels that have remained
vacant for a long time.
The Petitioner is requesting that the Village Board waive the second reading and take final
action at the February 6, 2024 meeting.

BACKGROUND/PROPERTY HISTORY
The Subject Property was annexed into the Village of Mount Prospect (Village) in 2017 as part of an
annexation including approximately 40 acres of industrial and commercial property in unincorporated Cook
County. The Subject Property is bound by Oakton Street to the south, Terminal Drive to the north, Badger
Road to the west, and 1-1 zoned properties to the east. The Subject Property consists of three lots and is
currently vacant. Based on historical aerial photography, an industrial building existed on the Subject
Property, but it was demolished sometime between 2006 and 2007. The Subject Property currently provides
two driveways along Oakton Street, and both Terminal Drive and Badger Road are privately maintained.
Aside from a 2019 sign permit, no additional Village building permit history for the site exists.
Most of the Subject Property is within the floodplain of Higgins Creek, an unmapped waterway that runs
through South Mount Prospect, and along the north and eastern sides of the Subject Property. It is noted
that the Subject Property has considerable drainage and flood control issues.
PROPOSAL
The Petitioner is a sewer and water contractor company that has been in operation since 1973 and is
currently located in Elk Grove Village. The Petitioner is seeking to relocate to Mount Prospect and proposes
to construct a two-story building consisting of office and warehouse space with related improvements. The
proposed contractor's yard will provide 31 passenger vehicle parking spaces, 29 truck parking spaces, and
storage for materials and heavy machinery including, but not limited to, material bins, trench and safety
equipment, truck and trailers, and manholes and pipes. As proposed, the project requires conditional use
approval for the contractor's storage yard. The various elements of the proposal are outlined below.
Operations: Based on the Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) prepared by Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona
(KLOA), the proposed contractor's storage yard would have 7 to 10 office employees, 5 to 6 garage
employees, and 6 truck drivers. All employees would start their day at 7:00 AM and the majority of the field
employees would travel directly to the job sites. The TIS assumes that all employees will arrive via a
personal vehicle with the truck drivers leaving in a truck during the same hour. During the weekday
evenings, the truck drivers will arrive back to the site in a truck and then all employees would leave in their
personal vehicles.
Site Plan: The proposed site plan indicates that an approximately 34,500 square -foot building will be
constructed on the Subject Property. The proposed site layout proposes to keep the existing driveways on
Oakton Street. The western driveway will be located approximately 60 feet east of Badger Road and will
provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control.
The eastern driveway will be located approximately 190 feet east of Badger Road and will provide one
inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control.
Vehicles would enter from either of these two driveways; passenger vehicles would proceed directly to the
south parking lot and exit through the opposite driveway; truck vehicles would enter only from the east
driveway, proceed past the south parking lot via the drive aisle located east of the proposed building, and
travel directly to the truck vehicle parking and storage yard located at the rear of the building. Trucks and
construction vehicles would travel in a counterclockwise rotation around the material storage area and
would have the option to park in the heavy machinery parking area located at the northeast corner of the
Subject Property or within the truck parking area located south of the material storage area. Truck traffic
would also exit to the east Oakton Street driveway via the drive aisle located along the east side of the
2
proposed building. As currently designed, the parking lot setbacks along Oakton Street and along the north,
east and west property lines will comply with the Village Code's minimum ten -foot (10') parking lot setback.
The project also proposes a 20 -foot tall, dome -like accessory structure for outdoor material storage bins at
the northwest corner of the Subject Property and an 8 -foot tall, solid -style, white vinyl perimeter fence. As
part of the conditional use request, storage materials (such as dirt, asphalt, concrete, stone, topsoil, hard
steel, hard plastic, and concrete) measuring up to a height of 12 feet would be visible above the 8 -foot tall
perimeter fence. The site plan also indicates a trash enclosure will be located northwest of the building.
Detailed drawings will be required with the building permit submittal.
A large underground storm system is planned to help alleviate the existing drainage and flood control issues.
Per the Petitioner, a hydraulic study of Higgins Creek was previously prepared and approved by the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources — Office of Water Resources (IDNR-OWR) and is attached to the staff
report. Per the Petitioner, the prior report will be updated to reflect the current site plan and will define the
base flood elevation and floodway limits along Higgins Creek.
Traffic and Parking: The Petitioner submitted a Traffic Impact Statement (TIS). The study concluded that the
proposed facility will be a low traffic generator that will increase the volume of traffic on Oakton Street by
less than one percent, and the proposed access system consisting of two full -movement access drives off
Oakton Street will provide site access flexibility that will ensure efficient and flexible access is provided. The
TIS also concluded that outbound movements from both access drives should be under stop sign control and
that exclusive right -turn lanes will not be warranted on Oakton Street at either driveway.
The Village Engineer has reviewed the TIS and requested confirmation that the TIS considers future/full use
of the site since the report notes 6 drivers, but the plans show 24 truck parking spaces. Because of the
proximity to Badger Road, the Public Works Department does not support two (2) driveways onto Oakton
Street; however, the Village will defer to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) as Oakton is under
their jurisdiction.
Building Elevations: The attached elevations indicate the proposed building will be composed of precast
wall paneling and clerestory windows. As shown, the proposed building will not exceed the maximum height
of 40' permitted in the 1-1 zoning district. The building height would measure twenty-seven feet six inches
(27'-6") at its highest point.
Landscaping: A significant amount of new landscaping is being provided site wide and the modifications to
the site are an improvement to the existing conditions. The proposed landscape plan indicates a continuous
row of permanent peripheral screening around the perimeter of the Subject Property. Staff has requested
that the Petitioner remove all parkway trees from the landscape plan as the Village will determine the types
and locations of the parkway trees. There are some minor revisions that need to be included in the current
landscape plan; however, staff is confident that appropriate landscaping can be achieved on the site.
Plat of Consolidation: The Village recommends that the Petitioner consolidate the three lots to eliminate
the construction of improvements over existing lot lines.
Water Distribution System: A public water main runs along the north side of Terminal Drive, just north of
the Subject Property. The Village is considering the annexation of approximately 47 acres of unincorporated
3
land near the southern border of the Village to provide municipal services to this area, including the
provision of Village water. The Village is requesting a 10 -foot wide easement along the west property line of
the Subject Property for a public water main that would connect the water distribution system along
Terminal Drive to a future Oakton Street water main extension, and eventually to the potential future
annexation properties. The Petitioner is agreeable and a condition of approval requiring the easement has
been added to the conditional use request.
LONG-RANGE PLANNING
The Village Comprehensive Plan's existing land use map designates the Subject Property as vacant, and the
Future Land Use map as "mixed-use district" which includes as primary uses: commercial, heavy industrial,
manufacturing, office, research, solid waste handling, warehousing uses, and uses that benefit from the
proximity to the 1-90 tollway and secondary uses that include screened outdoor storage. Key characteristics
of the district include encouraging larger sites to allow for large-scale employment facilities, with lot
consolidation in areas that would benefit from redevelopment. The Connect South Mount Prospect 2020:
Subarea Plan designates the property as an opportunity site and recommends manufacturing, office,
warehousing/distribution, or storage related uses within the site.
The proposed development is a redevelopment site and will provide storage -related uses within a state-of-
the-art facility; therefore, the Petitioner's proposal does not conflict with the long-range goals of the
Comprehensive Plan.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for conditional uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and
include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a conditional use. The following list is
a summary of these findings:
• The conditional use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort,
or general welfare;
• The conditional use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
• There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize
congestion on Village streets; and
• The request is in compliance of the conditional use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan,
Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances
The Petitioner has stated 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 Petitioner
states that they have been in business for over 50 years and have never posed a threat to the local
community, nor been cited for any law violations. The Petitioner also states that the proposed development
would be a benefit to the surrounding community by providing repair and remediation services on an
emergency or contract basis. Further, the Petitioner states that adequate public utilities, access roads,
drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been or will be provided, and current utilities are essentially
sufficient to serve the proposed development. Finally, the Petitioner states the proposed development will
provide a stable tax source for the Village, and elevate the standard for future Village projects and
developments. Based on the information submitted, the surrounding uses, and the proposed development's
compliance with the Village's long-range planning documents, staff recommends approval of the conditional
use request. The proposed project would replace an underutilized industrial site with a suitable, alternative
0
use on parcels that have remained vacant for a long time.
Staff finds that the conditional use request meets the standards. Based on these findings, staff recommends
that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the
Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the following motion:
"To approve:
1. A conditional use to allow for a contractor's storage yard, including the storage of construction
materials, construction equipment, and construction vehicles, for the property located at 2400 E.
Oakton Street, Case No. PZ -22-23, subject to the following conditions:
a. The Petitioner shall address all comments included in the Village review letters dated January
8, 2024 and January 12, 2024;
b. The construction materials, construction equipment, and construction vehicles shall not
exceed a maximum height of twelve feet (12'-0");
c. The applicant shall submit a plat of consolidation application prior to building permit
submittal; the plat shall be recorded with Cook County prior to the issuance of any
Certificates of Occupancy;
d. A ten -foot (10') wide easement dedicated exclusively to the Village for water main purposes
that runs along the entire length of the west lot line shall be provided by the Petitioner. The
easement shall be recorded with the property prior to the issuance of a building permit;
e. The design shall meet all Village, and other agency (MWRD, IDNR, IDOT, FEMA, etc.)
requirements. This includes the possibility of obtaining a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) from FEMA prior to beginning construction;
f. The appropriate code analysis, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
energy, and accessibility drawings shall be prepared for permit application review to the
Village; and
g. Compliance with all applicable Village Code requirements, including, but not limited to,
zoning, fire code, sign code regulations, environmental health, and building regulations."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Mt Prospect, IL 60056
Dear Mr Khan,
Phone 847.640.2240
Fax 847.640.2221
We want to sincerely thank you for considering our move into your flourishing town.
DiMeo Brothers has been around for over 50 years. It was started by my father and uncle in 1973 out of
necessity, that special kind of inspiration called The American Dream. Now, my brother John and I
continue to bring that dream to life each day.
We propose to purchase 2400 Oakton, remediate the property, and construct a state-of-the-art office
building and shop like the one we currently operate in Elk Grove. Except more in line for this modern age.
As it stands, 2400 Oakton is zoned 1-1 and would allow for our contractor offices. However, we would
require and are seeking a conditional -use permit to allow for the outdoor storage of our equipment and
material. Based on our observations, the surrounding area accommodates multiple businesses with similar
work practices and in need of outdoor storage.
DiMeo Brothers operates a profitable construction business that has grown into $40-50 million in revenue
over recent years. We run a successful operation because we invest our resources in both people and the
technology that will help our employees perforin at high levels. Therefore, it is the right step forward to
continue on that path and invest in a new facility to help bring DiMeo Brothers to new heights.
Our move is also the right step for Mt Prospect since we will bring myriad benefits to your village. First,
we are a sewer -and -water contractor that can be a valuable resource for repairs on public and private
property. Second, we can become an even more competitive bidder on public projects as efficiencies are
realized. Third, we can be looked to for employment opportunities as we try to maintain and possibly
increase our base of 70-75 employees. Fourth, there will be an immediate economic impact for local
businesses as our subcontractors are in need of resources, such as fuel and accessories, and our employees
frequent the area.
It has been a very trying time in deciding where to move DiMeo Brothers after decades of stability and
prosperity. It is with confidence and optimism that we have chosen Mt Prospect to be our next home and
epicenter for years to come.
Sincerely,
Mark DiMeo, DiMeo Bros, Inc.

"EXHIBIT 7
Dec 29th, 2023
Village of Mt Prospect
Attn: Ann Choi
50 S Emerson St
Mt Prospect, TL 60056
Dear Ann,
Pursuant to the DiMeo Brothers' proposal to purchase 2400 Oakton and rezone it for conditional
use, allow this document to serve as Exhibit 1 in support of approval:
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.
DiMeo Bros. has been in business for over 50 years and has never posed a threat to the
local community, nor been cited for any law violations. Our company takes great pride
in working with villages and serving the public good.
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. Our vision is
to construct a state-of-the-art facility that will not only elevate the surrounding property
values, but also the aesthetics of the local area. Additionally, DiMeo Bros. is currently
located at the apex of a residential road, and has proven since its inception to conduct its
business in a compatible fashion with its adjoining residential neighbors. Also, DiMeo
Bros. would be a benefit to the surrounding area by being able to provide repair and
remediation services on an emergency or contract basis.
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. Our new state-of-the-art facility will bring a much-needed refreshing aesthetic to
the surrounding community, while also helping to ignite growth in new business to the
local area. DiMeo Bros. has recurring monthly shop, fuel, food, and miscellaneous supply
expenses and is need of convenient local sources for fulfillment.
Adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been or
will be provided. Current utilities are essentially sufficient to serve DiMeo Bros. A large
underground stormtrap is planned per our site plan by Civil and Environmental
Consultants (CEC) to help alleviate drainage issues. We also intend to install newly
paved areas for parking lot and access roads, while beautifying the site with modern
landscaping touches. A concealed fence will surround and defend the property.
Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed
as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. Two existing entrances will be
sufficient to accommodate the needs of DiMeo Bros. Traffic flow for office personnel is
limited to less than 15 vehicles, while traffic flow for business personnel is coordinated
and streamlined with job activities each day.
6. The proposed conditional use is not contrary to the objectives of the current
Comprehensive Plan for the Village. DiMeo Bros. has been in business over 50 years and
will congruously assimilate with the local businesses in the surrounding area. Not only
will our state-of-the-art property provide a stable tax source for the village, but it will also
elevate the standard for future village projects and developments.
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 & Zoning Commission.
DiMeo Bros. has been working in conjunction with the engineering firm CEC to develop
a construction plan that meets the building codes and standards of Mount Prospect.
Drawings have already been submitted for village review.
Thank you very much for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Mark DiMeo

Re: Request for Waiver of Second Reading - 2400 Oakton Avenue - PZ -22-23
Dear Ann,
Pursuant to the unanimous approval of our conditional -use application by the Village of
Mount Prospect's Planning & Zoning Commission, DiMeo Bros. humbly requests that
the requirement of a second reading be waived.
Our request stems mainly from significant time concerns. First, our purchase of 2400
Oakton Avenue is subject to a 1031 property exchange, and certain advantages will be
lost if we don't meet our tax deadline.
Second, the development of our new site is tied to the review and approval of multiple
third -party agencies, such as MWRD and IDNR. This oversight process can't begin until
after we close, so getting started immediately is of the essence.
Third, upon an expedited approval, we can help facilitate the Village's plan to install a
new watermain along Oakton Avenue, part of which would be in the easement at 2400
Oakton.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter and trying to expedite our conditional -use
approval. We look forward to the first reading scheduled for February 6, 2024, and are hopeful
the Village Board is prepared enough to take affirmative action on our application.
Sincerely,

Good afternoon Ann,
I performed a quick review of the proposed development and I have the following comments to
provide on behalf of West Shore Pipe Line Company ("West Shore") and Wood River Pipelines LLC, a
subsidiary Buckeye Partners, L.P. ("Wood River"):
West Shore and Wood River accumulatively own and operate four (4) steel high pressure petroleum
products pipelines, ranging from 6" to 16" in diameter along the east side of Badger Road. These
pipelines are critical infrastructure and provide petroleum products to O'Hare airport and also to the
surrounding community.
Although the overall development of the property should not impact the pipelines there are a few
details and a request I would like to provide to the Village of Mount Prospect to aide in their review.
1. A grading plan was not provided with the conceptual design package. It will be crucial to
ensure the elevations of the west side of the property are not altered in a way that would
adversely impact the existing pipelines.
2. The Site Plan (attached hereto) show for two proposed waterlines on the north side of the
property, tying into the existing waterline on the north side of Terminal Drive. It is likely these
waterlines will be crossing existing pipelines. West Shore/Wood River will work with the
developer to design the crossing as to not interfere or threaten the safety of the pipelines.
3. The Landscape Plan (attached hereto) show trees and other decorative vegetation to be
planted along Badger Drive. It is difficult to delineate the property boundary on this drawing,
but West Shore and Buckeye politely request the plan to be redesigned to not include any
trees or large woody vegetation along the west property boundary and at the corner of
Oakton Ave and Badger Rd. These types of vegetation threaten the integrity of the pipelines.
Also, the vegetation will be damaged if/when maintenance is necessary. The preference is to
have only grass/sod along this corridor.
I've attached an aerial showing the approximate location of the pipelines near and within the
proposed project area.
Do you feel it would be prudent for me to attend the meeting tonight or may these comments be
addressed outside today's planned meeting?

INTERESTED PARTIES: John DiMeo, Mark DiMeo, Rob DiMeo
Chairman Donnelly was absent from the January 25, 2024 meeting; therefore, Vice Chairman Beattie
assumed the role as the acting Chairman. Chairman Beattie called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM.
Commissioner Miller made a motion seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from
the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on December 14, 2023. The minutes were approved 6-0.
After hearing one previous case, at 7:12 PM Chairman Beattie introduced case PZ -22-23: 2400 E. Oakton
Street for conditional use approval for a contractor's storage yard.
Ms. Choi introduced an aerial and stated that the subject property was annexed into the Village in 2017
as part of an annexation including approximately 40 acres of industrial and commercial property in
unincorporated Cook County and noted that the property is zoned 1-1 Limited Industrial.
Ms. Choi gave a description of the subject property and indicated that most of the subject property is
within the floodplain of Higgins Creek, an unmapped waterway that runs through South Mount
Prospect, and along the north and eastern sides of the Subject Property. Ms. Choi stated that the subject
property has considerable drainage and flood control issues, and is bound by Oakton Street to the
south, Terminal Drive to the north, Badger Road to the west, and 1-1 zoned properties to the east. Ms.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
Choi noted that the site consists of three lots and is currently vacant. Ms. Choi further noted that the
subject property currently provides two driveways along Oakton Street, and both Terminal Drive and
Badger Road are privately maintained.
Ms. Choi gave a brief description of the Petitioner and stated that the Petitioner is a sewer and water
contractor company that has been in operation since 1973 and is currently located in Elk Grove Village.
Ms. Choi stated that the Petitioner is seeking to relocate to Mount Prospect and proposes to construct a
two-story 34,500 SF building consisting of office and warehouse space with related improvements. Ms.
Choi further stated that the proposed project will provide 31 passenger vehicle parking spaces, 29 truck
parking spaces, and storage for materials and heavy machinery including material bins, trench and
safety equipment, truck and trailers, and manholes and pipes.
Ms. Choi explained that the western driveway will be located approximately 60 feet east of Badger Road
and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop
sign control. Ms. Choi further explained that the eastern driveway will be located approximately 190
feet east of Badger Road and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound
movements under stop sign control.
Ms. Choi explained the different circulation paths for different types of vehicles and stated that
passenger vehicles would proceed directly to the south parking lot and exit through the opposite
driveway; truck vehicles would enter only from the east driveway, proceed past the south parking lot via
the drive aisle located east of the proposed building, and travel directly to the truck vehicle parking and
storage yard located at the rear of the building. Ms. Choi indicated that trucks and construction vehicles
would travel in a clockwise or a counterclockwise rotation around the material storage area and would
have the option to park in the heavy machinery parking area or within the truck parking area located
south of the material storage area. Ms. Choi further explained that truck traffic would also exit to the
east Oakton Street driveway along the east side of the proposed building and that the parking lot
setbacks along Oakton Street and along the north, east and west property lines will comply with the
Village Code's minimum 10 -foot parking lot setback.
Ms. Choi then discussed the accessory structures proposed including a 20 -foot tall, dome -like accessory
structure for outdoor material storage bins at the northwest corner of the site and a 8 -foot tall, solid -
style, white vinyl perimeter fence. Ms. Choi noted that as part of the conditional use request, storage
materials (such as dirt, asphalt, concrete, stone, topsoil, hard steel, hard plastic, and concrete)
measuring up to a height of 12 feet would be visible above the 8 -foot -tall solid perimeter fence. Ms.
Choi stated that some construction equipment such as excavator arms would go up to 16 feet and that
one of the conditions of approval would be modified to reflect the new height. Ms. Choi also pointed
out that a trash enclosure will be located northwest of the building.
Chairman Beattie asked where the construction material would be kept and if they would be stored
inside and outside. Ms. Choi presented a slide that showed that the materials would be stored at the
center of the site and within the accessory structure and would be open to the sky except for the
materials stored in the dome accessory structure.
Ms. Choi stated that a large underground storm system is also planned to help alleviate the existing
drainage and flood control issues. Per the Petitioner, a hydraulic study of Higgins Creek was previously
prepared and approved by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources — Office of Water Resources
(IDNR-OWR) and is attached to the staff report. Per the Petitioner, the prior report will be updated to
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
reflect the current site plan and will define the base flood elevation and floodway limits along Higgins
Creek.
Ms. Choi stated that a public water main runs along the north side of Terminal Drive, just north of the
subject property, and that the Village is considering the annexation of approximately 47 acres of
unincorporated land near the southern border of the Village to provide municipal services to this area,
including the provision of Village water. Ms. Choi explained that the Village is requesting a 10 -foot -wide
easement along the west property line for a public water main that would connect the water
distribution system along Terminal Drive to a future Oakton Street water main extension, and eventually
to the potential future annexation properties. Ms. Choi noted that the Petitioner is agreeable and a
condition of approval requiring the easement has been added to the conditional use request.
Ms. Choi stated that a significant amount of new landscaping is being provided site wide and the
modifications to the site are an improvement to the existing conditions. There are some minor revisions
that need to be included in the current landscape plan; however, staff is confident that appropriate
landscaping can be achieved on the site.
Ms. Choi then advanced to the slides of the floor plans and noted the single floor of warehouse and two
floors of offices. Ms. Choi presented the next slides including the building elevations and the renderings.
Ms. Choi stated that the elevations indicate the proposed building will be composed of precast wall
paneling and clerestory windows and as shown, the proposed building will not exceed the maximum
height of 40' permitted in the 1-1 zoning district. The building height would measure 27'-6" at its highest
point.
Ms. Choi moved onto the Village's long-range planning documents and stated that the Comprehensive
Plan's Future Land Use map designates the Subject Property as "mixed-use district" which includes as
primary uses: commercial, heavy industrial, manufacturing, office, research, solid waste handling,
warehousing uses, and uses that benefit from the proximity to the 1-90 tollway and secondary uses that
include screened outdoor storage. Ms. Choi pointed out that key characteristics of the district include
encouraging larger sites to allow for large-scale employment facilities, with lot consolidation in areas
that would benefit from redevelopment. Ms. Choi further stated that the Connect South Mount
Prospect 2020: Subarea Plan designates the property as an opportunity site and recommends
manufacturing, office, warehousing/distribution, or storage related uses within the site.
Ms. Choi wrapped up the presentation by stating that the proposed development is a redevelopment
site and will provide storage -related uses within a modern industrial facility; therefore, the Petitioner's
proposal does not conflict with the long-range goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Based on the
information submitted, the surrounding uses, and the proposed development's compliance with the
Village's long-range planning documents, Ms. Choi stated that staff recommends approval of the
conditional use request. Ms. Choi maintained that the proposed project would replace an underutilized
industrial site with a suitable, alternative use on parcels that have remained vacant for a long time.
Ms. Choi stated that staff finds that the standards for a conditional use have been met. Based on these
findings, staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staff's
findings as the findings of the Planning & Zoning Commission and recommend approval of the following
motion:
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
4
"A conditional use to allow for a contractor's storage yard, including the storage of construction
materials, construction equipment, and construction vehicles, for the property located at 2400 E.
Oakton Street, Case No. PZ -22-23, in general conformance with the drawings prepared by Civil &
Environmental Consultants, Inc., bearing the latest revision date of 12/29/2023, subject to the following
conditions:
a) The Petitioner shall address all comments included in the Village review letters dated
December 7, 2023, January 8, 2024 and January 12, 2024;
b) The construction materials and construction vehicles shall not exceed a maximum height of
twelve feet (12'-0"), and construction equipment shall not exceed a height of sixteen feet
(16'-0");
c) The applicant shall submit a plat of consolidation application prior to building permit
submittal; the plat shall be recorded with Cook County prior to the issuance of any
Certificates of Occupancy;
d) A ten -foot (10'-0") wide easement dedicated exclusively to the Village for water main
purposes that runs along the entire length of the west lot line shall be provided by the
Petitioner. The easement shall be recorded with the property prior to the issuance of a
building permit;
e) The design shall meet all Village, and other agency (MWRD, IDNR, IDOT, FEMA, etc.)
requirements. This includes the possibility of obtaining a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) from FEMA prior to beginning construction;
f) The appropriate code analysis, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
energy, and accessibility drawings shall be prepared for permit application review to the
Village; and
g) Compliance with all applicable Village Code requirements, including, but not limited to,
zoning, fire code, sign code regulations, environmental health, and building regulations."
Ms. Choi stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Beattie asked Ms. Choi why a conditional use is required if the zoning was already 1-1.
Ms. Choi stated that the 1-1 district requires that all business be conducted indoors and that the
contractor's storage yard is primarily outdoors and requires a conditional use. Chairman Beattie asked if
there are any environmental concerns that come with storing materials outside. Ms. Choi noted that
there are concerns related with the Higgins Creek but that the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District
(MWRD) would have their own conditions that would address those environmental concerns.
Chairman Beattie asked if there were any questions for staff.
Commissioner Miller stated that since the site is within a flood zone, and water would not be able to get
into the site, would the Village experience flooding elsewhere in other parts of the Village. Ms. Choi
stated that the Petitioner is working on defining the limits of the flood plain and that the MWRD will
also restrict the building of structures within the flood plain if this is not defined, and deferred questions
on the flood plain issue to the Petitioner's civil engineer.
Commissioner Weir asked if all water would be flowing into the storm trap or and if water would be
flowing off the site and directly into Higgins Creek. Director Cooney responded that all the water would
be going into the creek, whether the water is stored and slowly released at a rate that meets code, and
some of the water on the fringes may go into the stream, but the majority of the water will be in the
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
basin. Commissioner Weir asked if filtration of the water to remove sediments will occur before it goes
into the creek. Director Cooney stated he does not know if there is an filtration of sediments but
deferred to the Petitioner's civil engineer.
Chairman Beattie swore in the following individuals:
• Petitioner, John DiMeo of DiMeo Brothers at 321 Grand Boulevard, Park Ridge, IL
• Petitioner, Mark DiMeo of DiMeo Brothers at 737 Washington Avenue, Park Ridge IL
• Anastos Sukurti, attorney for the Petitioner
• Brendan May, traffic consultant with KLOA
• Louis Wehrspann, civil engineer with Cicil & Environmental Consultants
Chairman Beattie asked the Petitioners why they are looking to move to Mount Prospect.
John DiMeo explained that they are looking to relocate to Mount Prospect because their business is
rapidly expanding and they outgrew the location they are currently in and believe the location at 2400 E.
Oakton Street is perfect for their company. Mr. John DiMeo explained that 70% of their clients are
municipalities, including Mount Prospect, and they also do mass excavation in the private sector. The
current site in Elk Grove is 2 acres and they are hoping to find a permanent home at the subject
property in Mount Prospect.
Mr. John DiMeo explained that their company specializes in sewer, water and excavation and that their
employees approximately 50-70 people at its peak; approximately 15 of those employees are in the
shop and offices and the others would go to the job sites including truck drivers at the site that would
leave between 7-8 AM and come back in the evenings. Mr. John DiMeo stated that the use is not a high
traffic use.
Chairman Beattie asked how many trucks would be coming and leaving in the mornings and evenings at
the facility. Mr. John DiMeo responded that there would be anywhere from 5 to 8 trucks. Chairman
Beattie asked if everyone was coming and going off Oakton Street. Mr. John DiMeo stated that Badger
Road is a private road and there would be no access to Badger Road or Terminal Drive so Oakton Street
will be the primary entrance. Mr. John DiMeo stated that the west entrance would be for the shop
employees and office users, and the east entrance located closer to the Higgin Creek would be for larger
trucks and equipment.
Chairman Beattie asked if the Petitioner or the Petitioner's civil engineer could address the earlier
concern about sediment from the construction materials going into the creek. Mr. John DiMeo deferred
to the engineer but stated that there would be coordination with the MWRD to eliminate contamination
going into the creek.
Commissioner Weir asked if it was a possibility to eliminate contamination or if the Petitioner was going
to design this into the storm trap. Mr. John DiMeo stated that the engineers would design something to
prevent any contaminants from going into the creek.
Chairman Beattie noted that this was not included as part of the conditions of approval from the Village.
Director Cooney responded that the Village would require approval from the MWRD and the IDNR.
Chairman Beattie reiterated that the two agencies would make the decision as to whether or not
filtration of contaminants would be necessary.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
Chairman Beattie asked the civil engineer to reintroduce himself. Louis Wehrspann of 1230 E. Diehl
Road, Naperville IL, introduced himself as the civil engineer for the project.
Mr. Wehrspann addressed the question regarding the sediment basin and stated that this is a
requirement of the MWRD who require sediment basins prior to the water entering the storm trap and
then all that water will be released into the creek.
Commissioner Weir asked if there was flood plain on the property and if this would be consolidated into
the creek. Mr. Wehrspann responded in the affirmative and stated that portions of the property will be
filled in and other portions of the property would be excavated. Commissioner Weir asked if the storm
trap would serve as both regular detention and compensatory storage. Mr. Wehrspann stated that there
will be one storm trap for detention and a second storm trap for compensatory storage. Commissioner
Weir asked if the red rectangle would have a division in it. Mr. Wehrspann stated that there is a second
rectangle that was not highlighted on staff's slide that would serve as compensatory storage. Chairman
Beattie asked to see the slide that shows the rectangles. Mr. Wehrspann stated that the rectangle
highlighted in blue would serve as detention and the area located towards the back of the site would
serve as compensatory storage. Mr. Wehrspann noted that this area would be located under the parking
area.
Commissioner Weir asked if there would be any surface runoff into the creek. Mr. Wehrspann
responded that any runoff would be from the areas outside of the curb lines within the grassy areas
along the perimeter, and any water that falls on pavement within the curb lines would be treated and
released to the detention system.
Chairman Beattie asked where Higgins Creek is in relation to the site. Mr. Wehrspann stated that Higgins
Creek is along the north and east sides of the site.
Commissioner Weir asked if there are any wetlands on the property. Mr. Wehrspann stated there are
wetlands on the property and they have already been delineated and noted the wetlands are of poor
quality. Mr. Wehrspann stated that when the grading is restored around Higgins Creek, that they will be
improving the wetlands by providing plantings in those areas. Commissioner Weir asked if the plantings
would be native. Mr. Wehrspann stated that they would not be native but they would be plantings that
would control erosion, stabilize the banks, and hopefully allow the creek to improve on its own.
Commissioner Weir asked the traffic consultant if the truck traffic would only use the east driveway and
if high level impacts were evaluated for Oakton Street. Mr. May with KLOA responded that the traffic
impact statement that was prepared shows that Oakton Street carries approximately 20,000 to 21,000
vehicles per day and as was indicated earlier most of the employees would be traveling directly to the
field.
Chairman Beattie asked what kind of trucks and construction equipment would be coming in and out of
the property. Mr. John DiMeo stated that there would be about 4-5 semis going in and out of that east
entrance per day, and 2 low -boys that transport the construction equipment and are not used daily
(project -based). Mr. May stated that this would translate to the addition of less than one percent of
traffic that currently exists on Oakton Street, so there would be very minimal impact.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
Commissioner Weir asked if there would be on-going operational procedures needed for maintaining
erosion and dust control within the neighborhood, aside from the erosion control plan during
construction.
Mr. John DiMeo responded that they maintain their own dust control, and use tanks on trailers with
sprayers to minimize dust, and noted that the materials stored in the accessory structure would be
contained by concrete blocks with tarps on top of the materials so no materials would be blowing onto
the neighbors' properties. Commissioner Weir asked if the materials would always be covered with tarp
and if the materials would be open to the south. Mr. John DiMeo responded in the affirmative to both
questions.
There was an inaudible question from one of the commissioners. Mr. John DiMeo responded that the
subject property would be their headquarters. Commissioner Mizwicki asked if the Petitioner had any
other locations. Mr. John DiMeo stated they have one other location in Wilmette which is used more as
a satellite yard to store additional materials and equipment for projects in the Northshore but there
would be no office or staff there.
Chairman Beattie asked about the totality of construction vehicles. Mr. John DiMeo stated they operate
5 semi -trucks and 2 low -boys. Chairman Beattie asked if it was standard operating procedure to have
materials covered. Mr. John DiMeo stated that this is a general procedure they follow for construction
materials loaded onto trucks, and that in Elk Grove they were not required to cover the materials on-site
but are willing to do so to comply with Mount Prospect's codes.
Chairman Beattie asked if there was anyone in the audience who had questions for staff or the
Petitioner.
Chairman Beattie swore in Randy Spitzer, 141\1569 Timber Ridge Drive, Elgin IL. Mr. Spitzer stated that he
is a neighbor of the subject property and represents Citgo, Exxon, and West Shore, and noted the
flooding problem in the area. Mr. Spitzer stated that MWRD has been tremendously helpful and
welcomed the Petitioner into the community. Mr. Spitzer noted that there is an existing MWRD program
that would help the flooding in this area if a partnership is formed between the Village and the
Petitioner. Mr. Spitzer stated that Terminal Drive and Badger Road become flooded and semis need to
drive through a couple of feet of water. About eight years ago, $1.5 million was invested in Higgins
Creek on the south side of Oakton Street and shortened the flooding and drainage issues from one day
to half a day. Mr. Spitzer asked if the Village could partner with MWRD to improve the creek conditions.
Chairman Beattie stated he did not know if the Planning and Zoning Commission or Village Board have a
recommendation on a partnership and that what they are doing is addressing the question of whether
the conditional use for a contractor's storage yard should be approved. Director Cooney stated that he
has spoken with Mr. Spitzer about this issue in the past and that the Petitioner is committed and
required by MWRD for fixing up the creek and make it function for them and that this would be the
opportunity to review any specific plan that MWRD has and would be part of the MWRD permit process.
Director Cooney added that this area is also within a TIF district and if there is Village contribution that
would benefit the whole area, that is something the Village would consider.
Chairman Beattie stated that it sounds like the Village may already be considering what Mr. Spitzer is
proposing. Mr. Spitzer commended the Petitioner on their excellent plans and the separation of truck
traffic on the subject property and the truck traffic coming from Terminal Drive.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting—January 25, 2024 PZ -22-23
Commissioner Mizwicki stated that it would be a good idea for Mr. Spitzer to attend the next Village
Board meeting to provide his support and ask questions for the Village Board. Director Cooney stated
the next Village Board meeting will be held on February 6.
Chairman asked if there were any further questions. Commissioner Weir asked staff if there was a
possibility of incorporating an operational dust control condition into the approval or if this is something
that cannot be monitored. Director Cooney responded that the Village has property maintenance
regulations in place already so if there were any complaints made because of dust, the Village has the
ability to address that.
Commissioner asked if the approval can be conditioned based on a regional MWRD cooperation based
on storm water detention. Director Cooney replied that MWRD has authority over the site and would
need to sign off on the project. Chairman Beattie noted that as a condition of approval, the project
would need to follow the other agencies' regulations.
Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Beattie closed the hearing and asked for a motion.
Commissioner Mizwicki made a motion seconded by Commissioner Miller to approve the following
motion:
"A conditional use to allow for a contractor's storage yard, including the storage of construction
materials, construction equipment, and construction vehicles, for the property located at 2400 E.

reimbursement From the Village ofMt Prospect 613/'FIF funding opportunities for small
businesses. DiMeo Bros. has chosen and is aggressively pursuing making this property our new
]ionic.
We estimate that DiMeo Bros. will need to invest roughly $12,485,000 to transform this vacant
land into a state -of -the art facility that will meet our business needs. In addition to the purchase
price near $3,850,000, we estimate additional funding of $3,635,000 for site remediation and
approximately $5,000,000 in construction costs.
DiMeo Bros. recognizes that it will be necessary to improve some village property as kvell. We
intend to develop and upgrade the existing right-of-way on Oakton Avenue with new sidewalk
and landscaping. This aesthetic measure will help spark future interest and development in the
area. Also, we intend to remediate Higgins Creek, which will benefit. the drainage system for both
our site as well as the surrounding at -ca.
With these efforts in mind, please consider working with LIS in developing a plan for the use of
6B/'FIF funds, We welcome your Suggestions and guidance in helping to streamline this process.
Thank you very much for your attention to these matters.

MEMORANDUM TO: John DiMeo
DiMeo Brothers' Inc.
FROM: Brendan May, PE, PTOE
Senior Consultant
Luay R. Aboona, PE, PTOE
Principal
DATE: January 15, 2024
SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Statement
DiMeo Brothers HQ Relocation
Mount Prospect, Illinois
This memorandum summarizes the findings of a traffic impact evaluation prepared for the
proposed relocation of the DiMeo Brothers HQ to 2400 East Oakton Street in Mount Prospect,
Illinois. As proposed, the facility will contain a 29,330 square -foot building consisting of office
and warehouse space. The site will provide 30 passenger vehicle parking spaces, 24 truck parking
spaces, and storage for materials and heavy machinery. Access will be provided via two full -
movement access drives off Oakton Street.
The purpose of this memorandum was to document the existing roadway conditions, estimate the
traffic projected to be generated by the facility, provide a general assessment of the impact the
traffic will have on the adjacent roadway system, and to review the proposed access configuration.
Figure 1 illustrates an aerial view of the site in relation to the area roadway network.
..RIMMOMM
Oakton Street is an east -west principal arterial roadway that in the vicinity of the site provides two
travel lanes in each direction. Oakton Street operates under free flow conditions at its intersection
with Badger Road, Hamilton Road, Diane East and Elizabeth Drive. Oakton Street is designated
as a class II truck route north per Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Designated Truck
Route map. Oakton Street carries an annual average daily traffic (AADT) volume of 20,500
vehicles (IDOT 2021), has a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour and is under the jurisdiction
of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
It should be noted that Badger Road borders the site on the west and Terminal Drive borders the
site on the north and these roadways are private roadways that serve West Shore Pipeline and do
not provide for any through traffic through the area.
K H.i11i.„ Vena.., mid Pmkilig 11I<mining (A)m,wknnli ,
Site Location Figure 1
As proposed, the facility will contain an approximately 29,330 square -foot office building, 30
passenger vehicle parking spaces, 24 truck parking spaces, storage for heavy materials and
machinery, with access proposed to be provided off Oakton Street at two locations:
• The western driveway will be located approximately 60 feet east of Badger Road. The
access drive will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound
movements under stop sign control. This access drive will only serve passenger vehicles.
The eastern driveway will be located approximately 190 feet east of the Badger Road. The
access drive will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound
movements under stop sign control. This access drive will provide access for both
passenger vehicles and trucks and should be designed to with adequate width and radii to
accommodate the truck traffic without encroachment.
A copy of the proposed site plan is included in the Appendix.
Based on the information provided by the operator, DiMeo Brothers' Inc. currently has seven to
10 office employees, five to six garage employees, and six truck drivers. All of the employees start
their day at 7:00 A.M. With the relocation of the headquarters to Mount Prospect, there will not
be a significant growth expected to the number of employees operating at the new location as
majority of the employee increase will be field employees that go directly to the job sites.
It should be noted that while 24 truck parking spaces will be provided, that these spots will be
utilized for the parking of other heavy vehicles that are not utilized daily and that the number of
truck trips during the peak hours is determined by the regular use of the six truck drivers.
For the purposes of this evaluation, it was assumed that all of the employees will arrive via a
personal vehicle with the truck drivers leaving in a truck during the same hour. Conversely, during
the weekday evening peak hour, the truck drivers will arrive back to the site in a truck and then all
employees would leave in their personal vehicles. Table 1 summarizes the estimated vehicle trip
generation. As can be seen from Table 1, the proposed headquarters is estimated to generate a total
of 50 to 60 (25 to 30 inbound and 25 to 30 outbound) trips on a typical weekday. Furthermore, the
facility is only projected to generate 27 total trips during the weekday morning peak hour and 27
total trips during the weekday evening peak hour.

Traffic Evaluation
When the estimated peak hour traffic volumes anticipated to be generated by the proposed facility
are compared to the existing traffic volumes on the surrounding roadways, the facility -generated
traffic will not have a detrimental traffic impact on the area roadways based on the following:
• The proposed facility will generate approximately 27 trips during the weekday morning
peak hour and the weekday evening peak hour.
The site -generated trips will be distributed over two driveways, thus reducing the traffic
load and potential delays.
• When compared to the daily traffic on Oakton Street, the proposed facility will increase
the traffic by less than one percent.
As indicated earlier, access to the proposed facility will be provided off Oakton Street at two
locations. The design of the access drives with one inbound lane and one outbound lane with
outbound movements under stop sign control will ensure that efficient and adequate access will be
provided. It should be noted that given that Oakton Street is under the jurisdiction of IDOT that
the proposed access system will need to be reviewed and approved by IDOT.
Based on the right -turn lane warrant criteria summarized in Chapter 36 of the IDOT Bureau of
Design and Environment (BDE) Manual, the minimum threshold to warrant an exclusive right -
turn lane is 40 vehicles during the peak hours. Since the proposed facility is projected to generate
a total of 27 inbound trips during the peak hours which will be distributed over the two access
drives with vehicles arriving from both directions, therefore a right -turn lane will not be warranted.
CI
Based on the preceding evaluation and recommendations, the following conclusions have been
made:
The proposed facility will be a low traffic generator that will increase the volume of traffic
on Oakton Street by less than one percent.
• The proposed access system consisting of two full -movement access drives off Oakton
Street will provide site access flexibility that will ensure efficient and flexible access is
provided.
Outbound movements from both access drives should be under stop sign control.
Exclusive right -turn lanes will not be warranted on Oakton Street at either driveway.

Public Works Department:
Engineering/Public Works has no objections to the use proposed for the site. However, the following
issues must be addressed before PW can recommend granting the requested Conditional Use:
16. Most of the site is within the floodplain (Flood Zone A) of Higgins Creek and is subject to all
floodplain regulations. Because the floodway has not been defined in this area, per Section
22.108.13. La of the Village Code, the entire floodplain area will be subject to the restrictions
associated with a floodway. This includes, but is not limited to, restricting development to those
determined to be an "Appropriate Use". Per Section 22.107.13 of the Village Code, "Appropriate
Uses do not include the construction or placement of any new structures, fill, building additions,
buildings on stilts, excavation or channel modifications done to accommodate otherwise
nonappropriate uses in the floodway, fencing (including landscaping or planting designed to act
as a fence) and storage of materials except as specifically defined above as an appropriate use."
As an alternative, the applicant will be required to have a hydraulic study of Higgins Creek
performed in the vicinity of the project site to define the floodway. Any area then determined to
be outside the limits of the floodway will not be subject the Appropriate Use or other floodway
restrictions. (Note: MWRD preparing to do a study of Higgins Creek to establish BFE and areas
in need of repair, including the stretch of creek along this property. Contact the MWRD for
additional info.).
17. Per LOMA 06-05-BT58A, the Base Flood Elevation for the site has been determined to be 664.4.
Section 22.102 of the Village Code defines the Flood Protection Elevation as the BFE + 2', so the
Village of Mount Prospect I Page 4
FPE for this site is 666.4. Provide a preliminary Grading Plan on which it is confirmed that the
finished floor elevation of the building is set at or above the FPE.
18. Per Section 401.3 of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's (MWRD's) Watershed
Management Ordinance (WMO), "Soil stockpiles or other construction materials shall not be
located within flood protection areas or their buffers." Confirm that all areas intended to store
(or potentially may store) materials shall be elevated above the FPE.
19. The plan shows the new building to be constructed over ComEd and Nicor easements. These
easements must be vacated before construction of the building can occur. The applicant must
obtain statements from both ComEd and Nicor confirming that these easements can be vacated
before granting the Conditional Use. The plats vacating these easement vacations be required
before a Building Permit could be issued.
20. Confirm how sediment from all stockpiles and material storage areas will be prevented from
running off into the stormwater management system.
In addition, the following comments will have to be addressed before the Building Permit can be issued.
They need not be addressed prior to receiving approval of the requested Conditional Use but are
provided as a courtesy to facilitate the eventual Building Permit submittal/review process.
21. Known flooding problems exist upstream of this site. As part of this project, the creek will have
to be cleaned of any debris, and the banks stabilized, adjacent to the project site.
22. The Village's water main is located in an easement on the neighboring property. The applicant
will have to coordinate all with adjacent property owner.
23. Loop the proposed water service. The maximum length of a dead-end pipe may not exceed one
pipe length.
24. Show where the trash enclosure will be located.
25. Modify the design of the public sidewalk as follows:
- Align the proposed public sidewalk with the existing sidewalk west of Badger Road. Shift the
walk toward the curb at the east driveway.
- Specify that the public sidewalk shall be 5' wide, except where abutting the curb where the
sidewalk shall be 7' wide.
- Pour sidewalk separately thru driveways.
26. Provide pedestrian access from public sidewalk.
27. Additional permits needed from MWRD, IDOT & Elk Grove Township (for the sanitary service
connection), IEPA (ILR10 Permit) and IDNR (for floodway determination & permitting).
Fire Department:
The petitioner is advised of the following conditional approval comments from the Fire Department:
28. Additional fire hydrants may be required for this project. Hydrants shall be provided around the
perimeter of the building at a maximum of three hundred feet (300') spacing measured along
access roads. Such hydrants shall be installed not more than fifty feet (50') nor less than twenty-
five feet (25') from the building. Fire hydrants will be required within three hundred feet (300')
(spacing) around the entire building. An additional fire water loop will be required along the

Re: 2400 E. Oakton Street / Conditional Use for Contractors' Storage Yard / Review #2
Comments
Dear Mr. Dimeo,
The Village of Mount Prospect has reviewed the submittal requesting conditional use approval for a
contractors' storage yard and has the following review comments. A review response letter should be
submitted with the revised plans stating how each comment was addressed:
Planning Division:
1. Revise the Responses to Conditional Use Standards #2 to correct the reference to "residential" in
the third sentence. The subject property is located along industrial roads, and adjoining neighbors
are industrial.
2. Landscape Plan (can be addressed during building permit submittal):
a. Remove from the landscape plan all parkway trees and the parkway tree plant
schedule specifying the trees to be planted by the Village as the Village will
determine the types and locations of the parkway trees.
b. Delete all perimeter shades trees that are located outside of the property boundaries.
All required perimeter shade trees shall be planted within the property boundaries.
c. Shrubs to be installed shall meet the minimum criteria at time of installation:
i. Fifty percent (50%) of shrubs shall be deciduous and fifty percent (50%)
evergreen.
ii. For shrubs that mature at less than five feet (5') in height, minimum
installation size shall be two feet (2').
iii. For shrubs that mature taller than five feet (5') in height, minimum installation
size shall be three feet (3').
3. Per Section 14.314: Outdoor Lighting Regulations: Full cutoff luminaries with a total cutoff
angle of not more than 90 degrees and flat lenses are required. Wall lights, where used, shall be
full cutoff and fully shielded.
Village of Mount Prospect I Page 2
a. Tilt angles for "AWFD" light fixtures should be zero to comply with full cutoff
requirement.
b. Provide details for proposed light poles and foundations at time of building permit
submittal.
4. Please provide the height of the stored construction material that will be visible above the
proposed 8 -foot -tall perimeter fence.
5. If the Conditional Use is approved by the Village, a Plat of Consolidation will be required to
consolidate the three lots into one. The applicant shall submit a plat of consolidation application
prior to building permit submittal; the plat shall be recorded with Cook County prior to the
issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy.
6. Page 1 of the Traffic Impact Statement states that Oakton Street is under the jurisdiction of the
Village of Mount Prospect but this statement should be revised to state that Oakton Street is
under the jurisdiction of IDOT.
Building Department:
7. For the permit submittal, the appropriate code analysis, architectural, structural mechanical
electrical plumbing energy and accessibility drawings shall be prepared for permit application
review to the Village. This preliminary review does not constitute approval of the building
permit application.
Public Works Department:
S. Engineering/Public Works has no objections to the use proposed for the site. However, it must
be noted that several challenges exist to developing this site (the proximity of Higgins Creek and
the associated floodplain, utility easements across the site, etc.). These challenges were detailed
in our previous review, and discussed with the owner and design engineer. No Code variations
or exceptions were requested or are recommended for approval. The design will have to
meet all Village, and other agency (MWRD, IDNR, IDOT, FEMA, etc.) requirements. This
includes the possibility of having to obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from
FEMA prior to beginning construction.
Fire Department:
The petitioner is advised of the following conditional approval comments from the Fire Department:
9. Additional fire hydrants may be required for this project. Hydrants shall be provided around the
perimeter of the building at a maximum of three hundred feet (300') spacing measured along

Re: 2400 E. Oakton Street / Conditional Use for Contractors' Storage Yard / Review #3
Comments on Traffic Impact Statement
Dear Mr. Dimeo,
The Village of Mount Prospect has reviewed the submittal requesting conditional use approval for a
contractors' storage yard and has the following review comments on the Traffic Impact Statement that
was submitted on 01/04/2024. Please be ready to address each comment in addition to the
comments provided in the review letter dated 01/08/2024 at the public hearing and provide a
review response letter addressing comments provided in both review letters.
Public Works Department:
PW's comments regarding the Traffic Impact Statement:
1. Correct the report to note that Oakton Street is under IDOT jurisdiction.
2. The report notes 6 drivers, but the plans show 24 truck parking spaces. Confirm that the TIS
considers future/full use of the site.
3. Because of the proximity to Badger Road, PW does not support two (2) driveways onto Oakton
Street. However, the Village will defer to IDOT.
Please make the changes as noted above and submit a point -by -point response letter and pdf files
of the drawings. You may e-mail the digital copy. Feel free to contact me at (847) 818-5314 /
