The meeting was convened to discuss Village Hall complex design options and possible
preliminary design with or without the use of Mount Prospect Public Library property. It
was also intended to discuss possible location of the Village Hall building and the
parking deck on the proposed property site.
Kevin Kemp provided a summary of his discussions, to date, with the library architect
and what the various building massing proposals are going to look like. He said one of
the limitations is trying to get light into the building and reorient the public face of the
building to the southeast corner of Emerson and Busse. He said the Library has stated
a desire to create a civic space that the two buildings can share.
General comments from the Village Board members were as follows:
There was a question as to whether a second floor could be added to the Community
Center portion for the proposed site, and a strong desire to incorporate all functional
needs within the building. The preference was also voiced to minimize the height of the
proposed parking deck and improve the visibility of the proposed Village Hall from
Route 83. A suggestion was made regarding possible underground parking as a
consideration.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:57 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dave Strahl
Assistant Village Manager
