PZ-03-10, 13 Westgate Drive, Saldana Residence
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance granting a variation for a side
yard setback and variation for roof pitch for property located at 13 Westgate Drive. This
ordinance grants a variation for side yard setback and variation for roof pitch for an
accessory structure. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a vote of 5-0
to deny the request; adoption of the ordinance requires a super majority vote for approval.
Page 2 of 6
March16,2010
Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information stating
the Petitioner is seeking approval of a variation to the required side yard setback and roof
pitch for a garage addition.
The Petitioner constructed a 20.68' wide by 10.20' deep garage addition in the fall of 2009
without a permit. As constructed, the garage addition encroaches into the required side yard
2.65 feet and has a one to twelve (1:12) roof pitch. The Village Code requires a minimum
five (5') foot setback and a three to twelve (3:12) roof pitch for accessory structures.
Mr. Cooney stated the garage addition does not comply with the Village Building Code nor
the International Residential Code. The garage addition does not comply with the required
footings, floor, header, bracing, structural ties, lumber fasteners and roof pitch.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a vote of 5-0 to deny the request.
Mr. Fred Saldana, Petitioner, presented additional information regarding the garage addition
and responded to questions from the Village Board.
· The drawings submitted with request did not illustrate the corner and lateral bracing that
were installed during construction of the addition.
· Documentation submitted demonstrates the addition does not harm the neighboring
properties.
· If the addition is brought up to building code requirements and asphalt floor of garage is
replaced with concrete; COULD the request for setback and roof pitch variations be
reconsidered?
Villaqe Board Discussion/Comments
· Permitting process - Petitioner's awareness
· Zoning requirements - important issue
· Building codes - uniformly comply with industry standards
· No hardship demonstrated
· Variations run with the property not the structure.
· Zoning requirements address safety issues.
· Village Code sets standards for compliance throughout Village
· If request is denied by the Village Board, Petitioner cannot apply for
variation for one (1) year.
· If Petitioner withdraws request; Petitioner can submit another request for variation
for the garage, if needed.
Mr. Cooney stated regardless of the Petitioner's decision to pursue or withdraw the request
for variations, the garage must be taken down. Mr. Saldana will need to obtain a demolition
permit from Cook County; once the structure is down he can review his options with Village
staff.
2009 BUDGET
AMENDMENT
NUMBER 5
Indicating he understood his options, Mr. Saldana requested the Village Board hold the
ordinance (request for variations), for a second (2nd) reading at the April 6, 2010 meeting.
Mayor Wilks stated the second (2nd) reading of an ordinance granting a variation for a side
yard setback and variation for roof pitch for property located at 13 Westgate Drive would be
held at the April 6, 2010, Village Board meeting. She informed Mr. Saldana that if he decides
to withdraw his request he may do so anytime prior to the April 6th meeting.
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance making certain amendments to
the Village Budget adopted for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2009 - December 31,
2009.
Finance Director Dave Erb stated this amendment, Budget Amendment Number Five (5),
adjusts revenue projections by $3,200,869 and expenditures by $3,200,869. Amendments to
the budget for both revenues and expenditures are made up of various adjustments related
to the bond sale completed December 22, 2009.

AMENDMENT
NUMBER ONE
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance making certain amendments to
the Village Budget adopted for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2010 - December 31,
2010.
Finance Director Dave Erb stated this amendment increases the 2010 budget for
expenditures by $3,390,144. Except for two (2) minor adjustments in operating accounts,
amendments made to the General Fund are limited to items that are supported by a
dedicated revenue source (donations or grants) or projects started, but not completed in the
prior year. Amendments in other funds are for expenditures related to capital projects for
building and infrastructure improvements, water and sewer system improvements and
vehicles and equipment replacement. The most notable adjustment made to capital
expenditure accounts was $1.2 million for Phase I related projects; weather delays in these
projects as well as Fire Station #14 pushed completion into 2010. Additional adjustments
included $598,000 (lift station stand-by generator) and $250,000 (emergency generator) for
the Public Works facility; $370,000 (Public Works replacement vehicles) and $100,000
(Basin 14 overhead sewer project.)
Village Manager Janonis stated the adjustments to the accounts were with funds already
budgeted from the previous year.

OTHER BUSINESS
OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Korn provided a summary of the local officials meeting with State Representative
Mark Walker that he and Trustee Po lit attended. State Representative Walker met with local
officials to discuss their concerns regarding the proposed reduction in state income tax to the
municipalities; 10% to 7%. If approved, the reduction would have a devastating impact on
municipal budgets; $1.3 million short fall to Mount Prospect. Trustee Korn encouraged
residents to contact their state representatives to let them know how the reduction would
negatively impact the local economy.
Trustee Korn also encouraged residents to complete and mail-in their completed 2010
Census forms.
Village Manager Janonis stated the census information is important as the data determines
how much federal funding municipalities receive.
Trustee Juracek stated although she was unable to attend the March 2, 2010 Village Board
meeting when the red light camera was discussed, she wanted to go on record as being
opposed to the program. Trustee Zadel also stated for the record that he too was opposed
to the red light camera program.
Trustee Polit encouraged residents to take a few minutes to complete the Youth Commission
Survey posted on the Village's web site. The brief survey will assist the Youth Commission in
its mission.
There was a brief discussion regarding the constitutionality of the state attempting to alter the
income tax distributive agreement between the state and local governments. Assistant
Village Manager Dave Strahl stated it did not appear the state's effort to alter the percentage
of income tax returned to municipalities was unconstitutional; legislatively controlled.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl added that the Northwest Municipal Conference is
mobilizing to oppose the proposed reduction in income tax to municipalities. The message
opposing such action is being heard in Springfield.

lanes. Ms. Ackerman thinks the building association should be accountable for unacceptable

continue enforcement of the law.

NEW BUSINESS
Mayor Wilks presented a resolution in support of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., 580
Slawin Court making application for Cook County Class 6b tax abatement.
Community Development Director William Cooney stated the property, located within the
Kensington Business, is owned by First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. The property has been
vacant for over two (2) years and qualifies for the Class 6b designation. (The previous tenant
relocated.)
First Industrial Trust is requesting the Class 6b abatement so they can competitively recruit
prospective tenants for the property. It is estimated that the abatement would reduce the
amount of property tax per square foot from $5.87 to $2.35 for this property; they are
competing against other industrial buildings in the market that have tax rates below $2 per
square foot, putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
First Industrial Realty Trust was represented by Mr. Locallo and Mr. Farace, Amari & Locallo
Law Offices. In requesting the Village Board's approval of the Class 6b resolution, Mr.
Locallo stated the subject property would generate more real estate tax revenue with the
Class 6b than if the property were to remain vacant.
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Cooney reviewed the Cook County
Class 6b vacancy requirements, and the twelve (12) year tax schedule for businesses with
the Class 6b designation.
Villaqe Board Discussion/Comments
· Class 6b is a "but for" inducement; without tax abatement would be difficult to occupy
property to keep business in Cook County.
· Approval of Class 6b allows net gain to general tax bill.
· Granting approval creates job.
· Village proactive in bringing in businesses; good for the community.
Trustee Po lit, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval of Resolution 10 -10:

VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Janonis stated the only remaining item under the Manager's report was a
Public Works' request for approval of the mobile column lifting systems.

MOBILE COLUMN
LIFTING SYSTEMS
Mr. James Breitzman, Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent, presented staff's request and
recommendation for the purchase of two (2) new mobile column lift systems in an amount not
to exceed $65,950.64.
Mr. Breitzman stated to properly maintain Village fire equipment the Public Works
Department needs a safe way to lift the various apparatus and vehicles. And, the most
efficient way to lift this equipment is with a mobile lifting system; there are two (2) flat work
bays for fire equipment. He noted the mobile lifting systems are also more cost effective
than in-ground hoists which cost approximately $100,000 each.
Staff did extensive research of the mobile lifting systems, including demonstrations, to
ensure the systems would accommodate all the equipment.
In reviewing the bids received Mr. Breitzman stated the lowest bidder did not meet
specifications. The Public Works bid specified a low friction ball-screw lift design and the low
bidder submittal was for a hydraulic lift system.
The second lowest bidder, Automotive Resources, Inc. did comply with all bid specifications
and the demonstration of their system revealed a very high degree of satisfaction from Public
Works mechanics and other users.
Staff recommend approval of the lowest qualified bid for the purchase of two (2) new mobile
column lift systems as submitted by Automotive Resources, Inc. in an amount not exceed
$65,950.64.
In response to questions from the Village Board, Mr. Breitzman provided the following:
· Cost benefit to purchase directly from manufacturer vs. local dealer.
· Bid requires 24 hour response time and 1 day parts replacement; local support.
· 5 year warranty component and electrical; lifetime training.
Public Comments
Ms. Joyce Ackerman
In consideration of today's economy Ms. Ackerman questioned how long the company had
been in business, certification of the lifts and product warranty.
Mr. Breitzman responded the company has been in business a long time and has a solid
history with other users, the lifts are certified and bid includes labor and parts warranty.
Trustee Juracek, seconded by Trustee Pol it, moved for approval of request to accept the
lowest qualified bid for mobile column lifting systems in an amount not to exceed $65,950.64.
