Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. Mr. Beattie made a motion to approve the
minutes of the April 23, 2009 meeting; Mr. Donnelly seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 6-0.
Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-I0-09, a request for Conditional Use approval for a gymnastics school, at
7:34 p.m.
Consuelo Andrade, Development Review Planner, stated the Petitioners were seeking Conditional Use approval
to operate a gymnastics school at 520 Business Center Drive. The subject property is zoned II, Limited
Industrial, and includes an office and warehouse building with related improvements. The property is bordered to
the west by the Rl Single-Family Residence District, and to the north, east, and south by the II District.
Ms. Andrade said the Petitioners obtained a Conditional Use permit in October 2005 to operate a gymnastics
school at 900 Business Center Drive. The Petitioners have terminated their lease at 900 Business Center Drive
and would like to relocate the gymnastics school to the subject property. The Petitioners propose to modifY a
portion of the 36,780 square foot building to operate the gymnastics school. Ms. Andrade stated Conditional Use
approval was required for the gymnastics school at the subject property before Staff could issue a building permit.
Ms. Andrade said the existing building on the subject property included a total of two units. An office/warehouse
space currently takes up 15,502 square feet and the gymnastics school would occupy the second unit which takes
up 21,278 square footage of the building.

Ms. Andrade showed a drawing that the Petitioners submitted as the interior layout of the school. The gymnastics
school would have three offices, a pantry, a conference room, and an open exercise area. The exercise area would
include areas specified for floor exercises, tumbling pits, and equipment.
Ms. Andrade stated the school would offer gymnastics classes that last just over an hour to a variety of age
groups. Class sizes would vary from three to fifteen students at a time, with a maximum of fifteen students at any
given time. Only classes and practices would be held on-site; competitions or performance events would be held
off-site. Ms. Andrade said there would be a total of seven staff members that would consist of a head coach,
manager, secretary, one-full time coach, and three part-time coaches. The school would be open from 9 a.m. to 9
p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Ms. Andrade showed a table that summarized the parking requirements for each use in the building. The required
parking for the office/warehouse space is based on the square footage of each use and required a total of fourteen
parking spaces. The required parking for the gymnastics school is based on the number of employees and
students, which would require 20 parking spaces; bringing the total number of required parking spaces to 34. Ms.
Andrade stated the site currently provided 31 parking spaces, which would be short by three parking spaces from
the requirement. However, based on the Plat of Survey provided by the Petitioners, there appeared to be room for
striping additional parking spaces to bring the property up to compliance with the required number of parking
spaces. Ms. Andrade said the property owner was aware of the additional parking spaces that are required and
would be applying for a building permit to stripe three additional parking spaces on site.
Ms. Andrade summarized the Conditional Use standards. She said other departments reviewed the Petitioners'
proposal and did not object to the use or find it would have been an adverse impact on the adjacent tenants or
properties. The proposed school, as described in the Petitioners' application would have minimal impact on the
adjacent properties.
Ms. Andrade stated that it is important that the enrollment level does not increase to an amount that would exceed
the Village's parking requirements. Based on the information submitted by the Petitioners, it is reasonable to
expect the gymnastics school to have seven staff members and a maximum of fifteen students at any given time.
The subject property would comply with the parking requirements because of the striping of three additional
spaces.
Staff recommended approval of the Conditional Use with the conditions listed in the Staff report.
Chairman Rogers asked if this space was larger or smaller for the Petitioners. Ms. Andrade said that the new
property is slightly larger than the old space. Chairman Rogers said International Gymnastics has been in the
Village since 2005 and asked if there have been any issues. Ms. Andrade stated Staff was unaware of any
problems with the school.
Mr. Beattie asked how the Petitioners are going to limit the class sizes to fifteen with the amount of parking. Ms.
Andrade said the Petitioner has notified Staff that there are several classes throughout the day and students are
usually dropped off and picked up. The Petitioner is aware of the fifteen student limit based on the amount of
parking spaces.
Chairman Rogers swore in Alex Kotlyar and Yury Khandres of International Gymnastics, 900 Business Center
Drive, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Mr. Khandres stated that International Gymnastics teaches gymnastics to kids
ages three to fifteen.
Chairman Rogers asked if the subject property is a larger space. Mr. Khandres stated that more space was needed.
They were limited in what they could do at the 900 Business Center Drive location. Mr. Khandres said that they
would be able to add more equipment with the additional space.

Chairman Rogers asked if there was currently a parking problem. Mr. Khandres stated there is no parking
problem at the current location because the kids are dropped off for just over an hour and then they are picked up.
They do have a staff of seven, but the entire staff would not be there all at one time. Mr. Khandres said there are
usually no more than seven to ten students at one time due to the individual work that is needed with the head
coach.
Chairman Rogers asked how many cars are normally parked In the lot. Mr. Khandres said at the most,
approximately ten cars are parked at their current location.
Mr. Donnelly asked what age groups they have at the gym. Mr. Khandres stated ages three to fifteen. Mr.
Donnelly confirmed that none ofthe students would be of driving age.
Mr. Beattie asked if there was a need for a locker room facility. Mr. Khandres said the kids arrive in their
workout outfits or arrive in their sweat suits over their outfits. He said there are restroom facilities, but no need
for a locker room. Mr. Beattie confirmed with the Petitioner that there was no locker room at the current facility.
Mr. Khandres stated it is the same set-up, just more room.
Chairman Rogers swore in Albert Eccker, representing Research Products International, 410-412 Business Center
Drive, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Mr. Eccker stated the immediate concerns were the parking limitations for 520
Business Center Drive. He stated the front of the subject property faces the back of 410-412 Business Center
Drive. Mr. Eccker questioned where three additional spaces would be added to the subject property, unless the
Petitioners were planning on blocking the receiving doors. He wanted to know if this was okay per Village Code.
Mr. Eccker said that they did not want any overflow parking onto their property. He was also concerned with
increased traffic cutting through their property.
Mr. Eccker stated that he was okay with the Petitioners saying there was a maximum on the amount of students at
one time, but he wanted to know what would happen if they wanted to double the enrollment. Chairman Rogers
said the Petitioners would have to come back to the Planning and Zoning Commission if they were to increase
class sizes.
Chairman Rogers asked Mr. Eccker if his business shared a common parking lot with the subject property or if it
was separate. Mr. Eccker stated parking for Research Products International is on the north side of their building.
The separation between 410-412 Business Center Drive and the subject property is a grass median.
Chairman Rogers stated that the Petitioners would only have approximately ten cars maximum at one time. The
additional parking space requirement is defined by Village Code. Chairman Rogers stated if there was a problem
with parking, Mr. Eccker could contact Village Staff.
Chairman Rogers swore in Edward L. Kowalski, 513 Eastman Court, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Kowalski
asked if there would be any outside structures as a part of this approval. Chairman Rogers stated there is no
outside playground; the Petitioners would have to obtain special permission to add anything to the outside. Mr.
Kowalski asked if there would be any exterior remodeling or updating to the subject property. Chairman Rogers
said to the best of his knowledge everything was being done inside the building, nothing on the outside. Mr.
Khandres stated that this was correct.
Mr. Kowalski asked what provisions have been made for signage. Chairman Rogers said any signage would be
on the street side internally in the park, no signage would face the adjacent residential properties. Mr. Kowalski
asked how signs were approved. Chairman Rogers said signs are determined by the zoning of the entire
Kensington Business Center (KBC). Signs would need to be specified by what was determined for the center.
Mr. Kowalski said that the KBC use to operate through a declaration; there were certain rules and regulations that
Richard Rogers, Chair
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 28, 2009
PZ-10-09
Page 3 of 4
it had to follow. He stated that the rules and regulations are now controlled by the Village. Chairman Rogers
stated that if the Petitioner wanted to put up a new sign, they would have to go before the Village.
There was further discussion regarding signage and whether or not there was an association for the KBC.
Mr. Simmons said if there was no longer an association, the Village Property Maintenance requirements would
dictate how properties are maintained in an area. The Village does have a sign ordinance that regulates the
placement of signage on a property. If the Petitioners wanted to install new signs, they would have to apply for a
sign permit. With this specific property as Chairman Rogers stated, the Petitioners would be permitted to install
signs that face Business Center Drive, but not the adjacent residential area.
Chairman Rogers asked if there was anyone else in the audience to address this case. Hearing none, he closed the
public portion of the case at 7:55 p.m. and brought the discussion back to the board.
Mr. Beattie made a motion, seconded by Mr. Donnelly to approve the following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit for a gymnastics school at 520 Business Center Drive, Case No.
PZ-I0-09 subject to the following conditions:
1) No more than 15 students and 7 staff members attend the facility at one time unless other parking
arrangements have been agreed upon with the property owner and approved by the Village;
2) The Petitioner submits an egress study as part of the Building permit application and modifies the
tenant space in accordance to all applicable building and fire codes for a new assembly occupancy.
3) The parking lot is restriped to provide an additional three (3) parking spaces for a total of thirty-four
(34) spaces on site."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Beattie, Donnelly, Floros, Roberts, Youngquist, Rogers
NAYS: NONE
Motion was approved 6-0.
After hearing two additional cases, Mr. Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 10:23 p.m., seconded by Mr.
Beattie. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: JUNE 11, 2009
SUBJECT: CHAPTER 19 NONRESIDENTIALlCOMMERICIAL SOLID
WASTESERVICES CODE CHANGES
In June 2008 the Village Board approved a contract between the Village and ARC Disposal
(ARC) that made ARC the exclusive provider of solid waste services to
nonresidential/commercial properties. At the time the contract and the corresponding code
changes allowed for only one exemption to the exclusive commercial services. The code states
the nonresidential properties that have national contracts (contracts signed at the corporate
level to provide services to multiple facilities in multiple states) would be exempted from the
exclusive agreement and would be allowed to continue service with their existing hauler (at
present time no property has been exempted because of a national contract).
During the implementation process several school districts requested to be exempted from the
exclusive franchise. The school districts argued that they and other government entities were
legally obligated to bid services in excess of $25,000. The Village's legal counsel reviewed the
matter and determined that the governmental agencies including school districts could accept
services from other governmental bodies that were competitively bid. Subsequently a second
issue did arise concerning governmental entities that have facilities in the Village and outside of
the Village boundaries. To address the second issue Village staff is recommending the Village
Code be amended to allow government entities including local, state and federal the option of
exempting out of the Village's exclusive solid waste contract. This change creates an
exemption similar to the exemption for national contracts.
The Village Attorney has drafted the attached changes to the code to establish an exemption for
governmental entities. Governmental entities would be required to submit a request for
exemption in writing to the Village Manager. The Village Manager shall grant such request,
subject to the solid waste contractor's compliance with the requirements set forth in the Village
Code. In addition the proposed changes will allow for the Village to issue a restricted license to
haulers servicing those exempted governmental entities.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions.

PROPOSED CODE UPDATE FOR CRIME FREE HOUSING AND
ENFORCEMENT FEES
As part of the proposed updates to the Property Maintenance Code, the Enforcement Fee and related
provisions 21.606-21.609 were eliminated. These previsions are more appropriate to the Residential
Landlord and Tenant Regulations in Chapter 23, Article XVIII where they may be used to encourage
compliance of all Village Code violations cited during a rental license inspection. The attached ordinance
relocates the existing provisions from the Property Maintenance Code to the Crime Free Housing
regulations. The text for these sections has been amended as needed to eliminate conflicts and update
waiver requirements to current crime-free housing practices. In addition staff recommends inserting text
into Chapter Section 8.2106 to permit Administrative Law Judge to order participation in any training,
program or certification provided under Section 23.1815, Crime Free Housing. The attached ordinance
addresses these proposed changes.
Staff recommends the Village Board approve the attached ordinance Please forward this memorandum
and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their June 16, 2009 meeting.

Residential Landlord and Tenant Regulations, of Chapter 23 of the Village Code shall be deleted
in its entirety and the following inserted in its place:
23.1816: INSPECTIONS BY VILLAGE:
A. Inspection Requirements; License Issuance Or Denial:
1. Each multi-family rental structure and each unit within the structure, shall be
subject to inspection, in accordance with this section, for compliance with all
applicable regulations. A license may be denied if the property has been inspected
and is not in compliance with applicable regulations. In such a case, the licensee may
apply for a conditional license.
2. Initial and subsequent annual licensing inspections shall be conducted on a
regular schedule and include the building exterior, common areas, basement and not
less than twenty percent (20%) of the individual dwelling units. All units within the
structure shall be inspected every five (5) years unless inspections are required less
frequently pursuant to the incentive provisions of this article. However, no multi-family
structure, which is less than ten (10) years old, shall be subject to individual dwelling
unit inspections unless cause exists to make such an inspection, such as a complaint
regarding noncompliance with applicable regulations. The age of the structure shall
be established from the date of the original certificate of occupancy or if not available,
by proof otherwise acceptable to the village.
3. Inspections shall be required for each inspection group. If an inspection group has
twelve (12) or fewer units, the owner may elect to have inspection conducted on an
"as vacant" basis. If the owner elects to be inspected on an "as vacant" basis, the
village must be given two (2) weeks to schedule an inspection before a vacant unit is
to be reoccupied. If a violation, other than a warning condition, is found during such
an inspection, then subsections A4 through A9 of this section shall apply and an
inspection group's "as vacant" inspection status shall be revoked until the village is
satisfied that all units are in compliance.
4. The owner will be given at least thirty (30) days notice by regular mail prior to any
inspection. Upon receipt of the notice of inspection, the owner shall notify the tenant,
on a form provided by the village, of the date and time of the inspection by placing the
completed form under or on the door of the unit at least seventy two (72) hours prior
to the inspection. The form shall contain a certification that the owner has served
such notice. Each notice shall inform the owner and occupant of their right to refuse
to consent to the inspection and to require the village to obtain an administrative
search warrant. The director may establish procedures to assure reasonable notice in
certain circumstances, e.g., lack of cooperation by owner, and such service and
posting requirements need not comply with the requirements of this subsection A4.
iManage:230785_3

5. Rental structures, other than multi-family rental structures, shall be subject to
inspection in response to complaints regarding noncompliance with applicable
regulations. The exterior of such structures shall also be subject to inspection as part
of the village's routine property maintenance program. Inspections shall be
conducted in accordance with subsections A6 through A9 and A 11 of this section.
6. If any owner, property agent, tenant or other person in control of a rental structure
fails or refuses to consent to free access and entry to the property for any inspection
pursuant to this article, the code official or designee may, upon approval of the village
manager, apply to the circuit court for an administrative warrant or other appropriate
court order authorizing such inspection. Such an application shall not be a waiver of
the village's right to seek other remedies pursuant to this article.
7. The director may establish compliance time periods during which violations must
be corrected. A separate time period may be established for correction of warning
conditions. Failure to comply with such a time period shall be a violation of this
article.
8. If a licensing inspection reveals any violation or warning condition, a compliance
time period shall be set by the director. The code official shall serve notice of the
violations and/or warning conditions, and the compliance time period on the owner or
property agent personally or by regular U.S. mail at the address provided on the most
recent license application. The notice shall include the following:
a. Identification of the property;
b. A statement listing the violations and applicable code sections;
c. The time periOd for compliance;
d. A statement that the owner has a right to request a hearing before the village
manager to contest the finding of violations or warning conditions. Said request
for a hearing must be received by the village manager within eight (8) days
following the date such notice was personally delivered or placed in the mail. If
such a request for a hearing is not received within that time period, the code
official's determination shall become final.
e. An explanation that all violations and warning conditions must be corrected
within the compliance time period, or fees, charges, and liens, as described in
section 23.1817 of this article, may result, and the license will be subject to
suspension, revocation and nonrenewal.
9. The effective date of a notice of violation shall be the date personally served or
when placed in the mail. Once a notice of violation has been served, the owner shall
be responsible for all enforcement fees associated with the property until the
violations are corrected.
10. The director shall monitor compliance with the notice of violation through periodic
tracking and inspection of the repair status. Once a notice of violation has been sent,
the owner shall be responsible for all enforcement fees associated with the property.
iManage:230785_3

11. A licensing reinspection will be conducted at the request of the owner(s).
12. If during a licensing inspection or reinspection any dwelling unit is determined to
be unfit for human occupancy pursuant to the village's property maintenance code,
an additional twenty percent (20%) of the dwelling units in the subject multi-family
rental property shall be inspected. If similar violations are observed in the additional
dwelling units, the owner's entire rental residential property shall be subject to
inspection. All additional dwelling units inspected shall be subject to inspection fees
per unit as set forth in appendix A, division II of this code.
13. If, during any licensing period the village finds no violations or only warning
conditions, then, except as provided below, subsequent inspections shall be made
according to the following incentive schedule:
a. An inspection group with twelve (12) or fewer units shall have individual dwelling
unit inspections waived for the following license year.
b. An inspection group with thirteen (13) to nineteen (19) units shall have only one
unit inspected for the next license year.
c. An inspection group with twenty (20) or more units shall have only five percent
(5%) of the units inspected for the next license year.
If, while the incentive schedule is in effect, violations other than warning conditions
are discovered, then the incentive schedule shall be terminated and the regular
schedule shall immediately be reinstated. The incentive schedule shall remain in
effect so long as only minor warning conditions are found and they are corrected in a
timely manner.
A change in ownership of an inspection group shall not affect the incentive schedule
status of the inspection group.
14. The village inspector shall, prior to entering an occupied apartment, give the
property agent or owner a reasonable opportunity to be present during the inspection.
Unless otherwise specified in a court order or warrant, the inspector will not inspect or
search personal property of the owner or tenant. The inspector, while performing the
duties of hislher office, will otherwise fully consider the privacy and dignity of the
owner and tenant, and will not enter or open closets, medicine cabinets or the other
closed cabinets or lockers unless the inspector has reasonable grounds to believe
that to do so would establish evidence of code violations. If a tenant desires to be
present for an inspection and it would result in an unusual hardship for that resident
to be present during regular village business hours, the inspector shall attempt to
conduct the inspection at a time reasonably convenient to the tenant.

MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
JUNE 4, 2009
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, BUILDING, FIRE, SIGN, AND
ZONING CODE UPDATES
The Community Development Department has been focused on reviewing the Village of Mount
Prospect's current rules and regulations related to the development and maintenance of property within
the community. Staff has performed an in-depth analysis of the Property Maintenance, Building, Fire,
Sign, and Zoning sections of the Village Code. The proposed updates to each of these codes were
originally presented to the Committee of the Whole during the April 14, 2009, meeting. Based on the
discussion during this meeting, extensive changes to the proposed code updates were not requested. The
Board did discuss a few areas that require further attention which are addressed below. Pending the
review of these items, staff recommends that the Village Board approve the proposed code amendments
for the Building (Chapter 21.103-21.229), Property Maintenance (Chapter 21.603) and Fire (Chapter 24)
Codes.
The proposed updates to the Zoning (Chapter 14) and Sign (Chapter 7) Codes are presently being
reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A public hearing was held on May 28th to review
these amendments. The P&Z Commission continued the review to their June 25th hearing for a final
decision. Following a recommendation from this Commission the proposed amendments will be
presented to the Village Board at a later date.
Construction Signage
Staff proposed as part of the changes to the Building Code to incorporate construction signage on
residential projects involving 500 sq. ft. or more of new construction. The signage proposed was intended
to advertise the name of the contractor, permit number, and other identifying information. The Board
expressed concerns with the size of signage and information to be posted. Based on these concerns, staff
has developed three options that can be used in place. Options] and 2 would require that signage be
posted, but differ from the contractor or Village being the primary contact. Option 3 is to eliminate this
requirement entirely.
Option #1: Original Proposal
Section 21.1 06.A.6.e. Construction Site Signage: The construction site must display a 24" wide
by 18" high white sign with black 2" block printed legible lettering that indicates the following:
1. The exact verbiage: "Any questions or concerns, please contact: (847) 870-5675 or
bu i Iding@mountprospect.org"
2. Permit number
3. Project address

4. General Contractor's name
5. General Contractor's phone number with 24-hour contact availability.
The construction site signage must be mounted securely on a maximum of two posts a minimum
of36" above grade.
Option #2: Require Sign with Village Contact Information
Section 21.1 06.A.6.e. Construction Site Signage: The construction site must display a 24" wide
by 18" high white sign with black 2" block printed legible lettering that indicates the following:
1. The exact verbiage: "Any questions or concerns, please contact: (847) 870-5675 or
building@mountprospect.org"
2. Permit number
3. Project address
The construction site signage must be mounted securely on a maximum of two posts a minimum
of 36" above grade.
Option #3: Do Not Require Additional Signage
No signage: Delete proposed section 21.106 A6e from ordinance. No construction site signage
requirement.
PODS
The Board also raised concerns with portable on demand storage containers (PODS) and their use on
residential properties. Most of the discussion revolved around the signage that typically is mounted on
the side of these units. Staff contacted two leading PODS companies to inquire on their signage and each
indicated that all of their storage units include signs on the side of the unit. Neither company had units
that did not include signage. Based on this information, staff is recommending that the original proposed
text for regulations on PODS remain and no additional language be added regarding signage.
Staff believes that the signage on a POD unit differs from that on a commercial vehicle which may also
be parked in a residential area. The proposed time frame would limit the total time that a POD sign could
be displayed while the unit is on a property. Whereas, a commercial vehicle may be permitted on a
property indefinitely, provided it conforms to the Village's regulations pertaining to signage on the
vehicle. Establishing more stringent requirements on POD signage would be difficult to enforce and
would likely limit the ability of residents to utilize these services.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration
at their June 16, 2009 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER
FOR:
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FROM:
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE:
SUBJECT:
APRIL 6, 2008
PROPOSED PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, BUILDING, LIFE SAFETY,
SIGN, AND ZONING CODE UPDATES
The Community Development Department has been focused on reviewing the Village of Mount
Prospect's current rules and regulations related to the development and maintenance of property within
the community. Staff has performed an in-depth analysis of the Property Maintenance, Building, Sign,
and Zoning sections of the Village Code. Staffs goals throughout this process have been to make each
code as user friendly as possible, to limit the need for any local amendments to adopted international
codes, and to maintain the Village's policies in relation to the development and maintenance of property
within Mount Prospect. The following memorandum is intended to provide an overview of the proposed
changes to the Property Maintenance, Building, Sign, and Zoning sections of the Village Code.
Property Maintenance Code
Staff recommends the Village adopt the 2006 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code
(IPMC), with limited local amendments. The Village is currently operating under the 2000 edition of this
same code. Although local amendments are proposed, the majority are consistent with existing
amendments the Village has to the code and are intended to provide either greater strength in enforcement
or make the code more applicable to Mount Prospect. Examples of minor changes include incorporating
references to the Illinois Plumbing Code, elimination of the fee section as it conflicts with Village fees,
and other modifications. Six primary amendments proposed which are different compared to previous
versions of the IPMC are detailed below:
· Section 104.7 - IPMC requires retaining records for the life of a building. Staff is proposing
amending this section to be consistent with Village Policies and record keeping practices to retain
records for a period of five years.
· Section 106.3 - The 2006 IPMC states all violations shall be a lien on a property. To limit this
burdensome requirement of placing a lien on all properties that are cited with a violation "shall"
was replaced with "may" to eliminate requirement, but still allow for the use of liens if necessary.
· Section 110.1 - Proposed to eliminate requirement that construction project has to be inactive for
two years before condemnation is considered.
· Section 111.8 - The stay of enforcement section as written in the IPMC would halt compliance
procedures upon the application of any appeal by a property owner. The section has been
modified to permit persons to apply to a court for a stay of enforcement ruling.
Proposed Property Maintenance, Building, Sign, and Zoning Code Updates
Committee of the Whole Meeting April 6, 2009
Page 2
. Section 302.71 - Added text to regulate the placement of portable on-demand storage structures
(PODS) consistent with existing policies that a POD is an unlawful structure and shall be
removed within 14 days of delivery.
· Section 404 - Occupancy requirements for the 2006 edition of the IPMC are no longer based on
room sizes and overcrowding is a subjective decision of the code official. Staff recommends
maintaining the existing occupancy and overcrowding language from the 2000 edition as it is
more restrictive and eliminates interpretation discrepancies.
Building and Fire Prevention Code
Updates to the Building and Fire, Prevention Codes were coordinated between the Village's Fire
Prevention Bureau and Building Division. Similar to the Property Maintenance Code, staff recommends
adopting the 2006 edition of the International Building and Residential Codes (I-Codes) and the
International Fire Prevention Code. Although staff is recommending some local amendments to the 1-
Codes, the number of amendments is approximately 45% less than the amendments adopted from the
2000 version. Several existing local amendments have been incorporated into the 2006 I-Codes. The
following provides an overview of the proposed changes to the Village's Building Code:
· Deleted all local amendments related to concrete because 2006 I-Codes reference the American
Concrete Institutes Concrete Building Code for production specifications and installation.
· The 2006 I-Codes incorporate several green building components to provide a regulatory
framework to oversee some of these practices. Green components include direction on the use of
alternative materials, solar energy systems, and other green construction techniques.
· Proposed a local amendment to include a requirement for additional site construction standards
for residential projects that are larger than 500 square feet including requiring portable washroom
facilities, silt fencing, construction site fencing, a construction mailbox, a construction drawing
container for site drawings, and placement of site construction signage listing the permit number,
contractors name, and 24/7 contact number.
. The 2006 I-Codes incorporate the Fuel Gas Code which clarifies gas piping requirements. This
change eliminates the need for existing local amendments related to gas piping.
· The number of local amendments to the Mechanical Code were reduced as several existing
amendments were incorporated into the 2006 I-Codes.
· Provided more consistency across the Fire Prevention and Building Codes for performing
building egress analysis calculations.
Sign Code
Proposed changes to the Sign Code were intended to make the code more user friendly. The crux of the
changes to Chapter 7 can be traced to the proposed elimination of Table 2 (Table of Sign Requirements).
This table currently lists the maximum size for any sign proposed in the Village according to land use and
street classification. Through the enforcement of the sign ordinance staff has found that property owners
and contractors have had difficulty in interpreting this table to determine what type and size of signs they
are permitted to install. To correct this staff is proposing to eliminate the table and incorporate the
requirements into the text of the chapter. To do so, a standard size for each land use was established for
freestanding ground signs. The changes to the Sign Code can be highlighted as follows:
. Eliminated Table 2 (Table of Sign Requirements) resulting in the following changes:
o Elimination of Table 3 (Land Use Classification)
o Established maximum of 75 sq. ft. for commercial ground signs regardless of street
frontage.
o Established maximum of 50 sq. ft. for all other ground signs regardless of street frontage.
Proposed Property Maintenance, Building, Sign, and Zoning Code Updates
Committee of the Whole Meeting April 6, 2009
Page 3
o Maximum ground sign sizes decrease by 20% if located within 100 ft of a residential
property .
o Modified sign area calculation from 50% of signable wall area, to 10% and 20% of
building fa~ade area. Maximum size of 150 sq. ft. was maintained.
. Established ability for Director of Community Development to approve signs up to 300 sq. ft. in
size if located at least 250 ft from property line. This is consistent with variations approved by
the Village for larger big box retail stores.
. Prohibited Signs: Added pennants, streamers, inflatable signs, and signs on parked vehicles to
code for additional clarification. Village hasn't historically permitted these signs.
. Eliminated Bonus Section of Code: Modifications discussed above increased the sizes for certain
free standing signs. Removal of bonuses also provides uniformity for all signs within the Village.
. Established Illumination Standards for Signs:
o Electronic Message Centers/LED Signs - Established acceptable daytime illumination of
5,000 nits (464 foot candles) and nighttime illumination of 500 nits (46 foot candles).
o Wall and Ground Signs - Maximum lighting levels for signs established at 75 ft candles.
Zoning Code Changes
The Zoning Code incorporates several changes which can be narrowed down to five primary areas. The
bulk of modifications to the Zoning Code are related to townhome developments, senior housing
developments, green technologies, site design elements, and creation of a land use table. Each of these
major changes is detailed in the bullet list below:
. Townhome Design Standards - The code incorporates changes to townhome development
projects based on recent Village requirements of these projects. Changes include requirements of
providing at least a 100 sq. ft. patio/deck, two garage parking spaces and two driveway parking
spaces per unit, and one guest space per 2.5 units. The PUD ordinance was also amended to
regulate the size and design of required open space as part of a residential development.
. Senior Housing - The proposed code eliminates the R-5 Senior Housing Zoning District. At
present only one property in the Village has this zoning designation. With the elimination of the
district, Senior Housing and Assisted Living Facilities were added to the use table as conditional
uses when developed as part of a PUD in the R-3 and R-4 zoning districts. Provisions for density
of these developments were then incorporated into the PUD section.
. Green Technologies - Staff reviewed the ability to incorporate green technologies into the code.
A new code section was created with provisions on regulating the placement of Wind and Solar
Energy Conversion Systems. Rain barrels were also added to the accessory structure section of
the ordinance. In addition to these changes staff explored the potential to incorporate building
standards into the code based on the LEED rating system as discussed later in this report.
. Design Elements - Staff also incorporated changes into the code to regulate certain property
design elements. Requirements were included for large buildings (over 200 ft in length),
screening of mechanical and utility equipment, and placement of wireless telecommunication
equipment on buildings.
. Use Table - Two land use tables were created to regulate the placement of permitted and
conditional land uses within the Village. Currently each zoning district has text to highlight what
uses are permitted. The creation of the tables eliminates the need for this text, and provides
greater access to the information in the code while also providing greater flexibility in the
placement of land uses if future amendments are required. The result of adding these tables in
Section 14.604 removed the permitted and conditional use lists from the C-R, R-X, R-l, R-A, R-
2, R-3, R-4, B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, O/R, and I-I sections accordingly. New land uses not

addressed in the current code were added to the table to reflect recent land use trends (i.e. Animal
Daycares).
In addition to the above changes, staff also reviewed other areas of Chapter 14 that needed updating or
language clarification. These minor changes range from cleaning up of text to reflect current Village
practices to . establishing consistent standards for bulk regulations pertaining to building height and
parking setbacks. Additional changes to the code include the following:
· Section 14.203 Public Hearing Requirements - Modified to reflect current notification practices.
· Section 14.206 Accessory Structures - Added.gazebos, greenhouses, and other similar structures
to regulate the maximum size of these structures.
· Section 14.311 Outdoor Sales and Storage - Modified language to reflect current practices for
outdoor dining.
· Section 14.312 Second Housekeeping Units - Removed language related to aromatization period.
· Section 14.314 Outdoor Lighting - Added regulations for max property illumination levels and
architectural lighting.
· Section 14.402 Nonconforming Buildings - Modified language to clarify code requirements.
· RX, Rl, RA, R2, R3, R4 - Established maximum height of non residential buildings of 35 feet
and 75 feet for church steeples.
· B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4 - Established 10 foot parking setback and increased height to 35 feet in all
districts plus B-5 based on industry trends.
· I-I - Increased building height to 40 feet based on industry trends.
· 14.2226 Loading Berths - Eliminated section as industry sets criteria for berths in developments.
· 14.2309 Landscaping - Established minimum number of plant materials based on area to be
landscaped, provided recommended plant list, and screening of ground based utilities.
Green Technology
As part of all of the code updates, staff reviewed ways in which to increase the use of green technologies
or practices into the Village's Codes. The current leader in regulating green technology is the United
States Green Building Council. This organization developed a Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) rating system to rate the energy efficiency of new developments. While some
municipalities have adopted the LEED rating system into their codes, this system originally was not
intended as a regulatory mechanism but one more for guidance. As a result, municipalities which have
used this system for regulatory purposes have had difficulty in obtaining compliance. Recently in March
2009, the International Code Council (ICC) and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)
developed a new code which provides more regulatory control of green building practices. The new code
(ICC 700-2008) will compensate in areas where the LEED rating system is currently lacking. Due to its
relative infancy, staff is not recommending the Village adopt the new code as part of the current updates,
but instead intends to review the code over the next year to determine the validity and potential issues of
adopting it. If the code is deserving of adoption, staff will present future amendments to the Village's
code to adopt these green standards.
Review Schedule
The proposed modifications to the Zoning and Sign Codes require scheduling for review at a public
hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to their adoption. As part of the public hearing
process, staff intends to send a copy of the proposed zoning changes to both the Park District (for review
of the C-R District requirements) and local shopping center owners (for review of the proposed use table).
The proposed review will allow these entities to comment on any additional uses they would like to see
Proposed Property Maintenance, Building, Sign, and Zoning Code Updates
Committee of the Whole Meeting April 6, 2009

added to the table based on their experiences. Staff will review their proposals and make any
recommendations as part of the report to the Commission.
The Property Maintenance and Building Codes do not require a public hearing and can be scheduled for
review directly by the Village Board.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Committee of the Whole for their review and
consideration at their April 14, 2009 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this
matter.
