shopping center by 8,000 sq. ft. It was noted that the
proposed shopping center would be buffered from the
single family homes.
Witnesses were presented by the Petitioner who
testified that this shopping center would.not adversely
effect property values of the surrounding homes and

appropriate for this type of use. It was also stated
that the Village would benefit through increased
property taxes and sales tax, with the projection of
approximately $300,000 to the Village.

consultants and they too stated that this proposed

location.

residents of the area some years ago, in conjunction
with the defense of a law suit proposing a commercial
use on a portion of the subject property, that the
Village would oppose commercial zoning in this area.
Otherconcerns expressed by Mrs. Conrad and residents
included -, increased traffic, their opinion that
another shopping center is not needed in the area, and
their desire to maintain the residential character of
the area.
Page 4 - February 20, 1990
Mrs. Conrad noted that petitions had been filed
with the Village Clerk, pursuan= to the requirements
of Chapter 14, which would require a majority of the
Board to vote in favor of this project in order to
secure approval. Copies of petitions with 1,700
signatures were also presented in opposition to this
proposal.
Inasmuch as Trustee Wattenberg is the attorney for
one of the property owners being the subject of this
proposal, Mayor Farley requested Trustee Wattenberg
to refrain from voting since it would be deemed a
conflict of interest.

feel this would be a quality development, they could
not support the location.

to concur with the recommendation of the Zoning
Board of Appeals to deny the rezoning being the

Mayor Farley p~esented an Ordinance for first reading BUSSE SCHOOL
that would amend Chapter 18 (Traffic Code) by
prohibiting parking on Henry Street between Owen and
William Street~, on both sides of the street.
It was noted that the Village Board had proposed
prohibiting parking on the asphalt parkway on
Henry Street by moving the parking bumpers to the
curb area and prohibiting parking on the Henry Street.
Michael Moran~ attorney for Suzuki School, stated that
t~e proposal would create a problem for both Suzuki School
and the Creative Academ~ since 36 pax'king spaces would
b~ eliminated without provi~in9 spaces else%.~he)?e. He also
~tated that the proposed action would create more of a
hazardous condition that the one deemed under the
existing conditions.
Numerous parents of students at this location spoke in
opposition to the proposal.
It was noted by Mayor Farley that the property is owned
by the Mount Prospect Park District and the Village is
attempting to resolve the problem. It was the consensus
of opinion among the Village Board members that one final
Page 5 - February 20, 1990
meeting should be held whereby everyone interested in
this subject, including residents of the area, Park
District officials, officials from the Suzuki and
Creative Academy should be in attendance in order to
resolve this problem.
Mayor Farley stated that such a meeting would take
place on Saturday, March 10th at 11:00 A.M. in the
Senior Citizen Center. Notices will be sent announcing
this meeting. Coffee with Council, normally held on
this morning will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. at

OLD BUSINESS
PATE SUBDIVISION The Pate Subdivision, 1000 Cardinal Lane.
The subject property is a parcel of land at the west
end of Wildwood Lane. The developer proposed the
creation of 7 lots of record for single family homes.
Also requested, in conjunction with this development
are modifications from the Development Code to
eliminate the sidewalks on the proposed cul de sac, a
cul de sac exceeding the permitted length, parkway
trees, and a modified request to permit a pavement
width of 23 feet, instead of 297. This matter was
continued from previous meetings in order to work out
various details of development. The administration has
worked with the developer in a effort to reach an
agreement as to the improvement of Wildwood Lane at an
acceptable width and to determined the method and
responsibility of payment for certain roadway
improvements.
It was determined that since Wildwood Lane is presently
13 feet wide and the fact that there are utility __
easements to the north, preventing additional width,
the improved width would be 23 feet. The developer
will install water mains along Wildwood Lane and
provide the improved roadway for the 2 lots closest to
the propos.ed subdivision, all of which would be the
subject of a recapture for the developer. The
developer will also make a cash contribution of
$11,800, which is the difference between the 23' wide
street instead of the normal 29' width and one street
light. The Village will install the street for the
balance of Wildwood Lane east to Westgate Road. The
property located on the southwest corner of Wildwood
and Westgate is not included in this improvement.
It was also noted that as the vacant properties are
developed sidewalks will be installed as required and
for the existing property, the Village will install the
sidewalks.
Mr. Ed Labuz, 1215 Wildwood Lane, asked various
questions regarding this development~ noting that he
is the only resident on Wildwood Lane. Mro Labuz had
no objection to thi~ amended, proposal°
