Northwest Highway Tinaglia Architects May 11, 2011 08 -12- 115- 006 -0000 1) Conditional Use for a drive - through 2) Variation to decrease the required parking lot setback Richard Rogers, Chair William Beattie Joseph Donnelly Leo Floros Keith Youngquist Theo Foggy Ronald Roberts Consuelo Andrade, Development Review Planner Jim Tinaglia, Mike Polanski, Rick Bowman, Joseph Maniscalco, Michael Davey, Jane Shaffer, Judy Schoch, Mary Skittone, Pat Jamieson Chairman Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. The minutes of the April 28, 2011 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting were approved 4 -0 with Mr. Beattie abstaining. Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ -10- 11, 320 E. Northwest Highway, at 7:32 p.m. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner for PZ -10 -11 requested a Conditional Use to construct a drive - through and a Variation to decrease the parking lot setback from ten (10) feet to two (2) feet along the north property line for the property known as 320 E. Northwest Highway. Ms. Andrade said the Subject Property is located on Northwest Highway between Maple and School Street. The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial and is considered part of the downtown commercial district. The Subject Property is bordered by R3 Low Density Residential to the north, B5 Central Commercial to the east, I2 Railroad to the south, and R3 Low Density Residential to the west. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner proposed to renovate the existing banking facility and construct two drive - through lanes. The northerly portion of the building would be demolished and a new entry canopy and drive - through canopy would be constructed. Two (2) drive - through lanes and a pass - through lane would be located along the east elevation of the building. The proposed bank would require fourteen (14) parking spaces, which would be met since the proposal would provide a total of sixteen (16) parking spaces. The project requires Conditional Use approval for the drive- through lanes and a Variation to the required parking lot setback along the north property line. Richard Rogers, Chair pZ -10 -11 PIanning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 1 of 6 Ms. Andrade said the building is currently constructed out of brick veneer, including aluminum storefronts, and a seam metal roof. Per the Petitioner's elevations, a new entry canopy and drive - through canopy would be constructed to match the existing brick and metal roof. Ms. Andrade stated the new entry and drive- through canopies would also include stone veneer at the base of each column. Ms. Andrade said the Petitioner submitted a landscape plan detailing the proposed plant materials and sizes. As currently drawn, the landscape plan does not comply with the landscape requirements. The landscape plan would need to be revised to provide additional plantings as listed in the Staff Report. Ms. Andrade stated the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in the Zoning Ordinance and include specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following 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; • And that adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets are provided. Ms. Andrade said the drive- through lanes have been designed to be located on the east side of the building with landscaping located just north of the lanes along the north property line as to not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent properties. Access to the bank would not change from the existing access points. The primary access point would remain off of Northwest Highway. The use as a bank complies with the Comprehensive Plan and would be constructed according to Village Codes. Ms. Andrade stated the standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. This slide represents a summary of these findings, which include: • A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person presently having an interest in the property; • Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and • Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character Ms. Andrade said prior to submittal, the Petitioner discussed the proposal with Staff on numerous occasions. The proposed development was designed to minimize the scope and number of Variations and still create a feasible drive - through bank. The site currently included two parking spaces along the north property line, which have a zero (0) setback to the north property line. The requested Variation to the parking lot setback along the north property line is needed because the Petitioner intends to construct new parking spaces that would be setback two (2) feet away from the property line and still comply with the minimum twenty -four (24) foot two way drive aisle. There is an existing wood privacy fence Iocated along the north property line on the residential property to the north that will remain as is. Also, the Petitioner intended to increase the quantity and quality of the perimeter landscaping along the north property line to mitigate the impact of the parking lot setback. Ms. Andrade stated based staff review, Staff recommended that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the motions listed in the Staff Report, Chairman Rogers swore in the Petitioner, Jim Tinaglia, Tinaglia Architects, 814 W. Northwest Highway, Arlington Heights, Illinois. Also sworn in were Mike Polanski, Chairman of Village Bank and Trust, Arlington Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 2 of 6 Heights, Illinois, and Rick Bowman from Ravenswood Bank, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Tinaglia explained how Village Bank and Trust would be taking over the bank at the Subject Property. The bank would be changing names and Mr. Bowman would be running the branch. Mr. Tinaglia stated that he has spoken with Staff on several occasions and wanted to address some issues before the Commission. He said the request for the two (2) foot setback along the north property line has been changed to four (4) feet. This would move the drive aisle and increase the landscaping along the north property line. Mr. Tinaglia said there were no other ways to configure a drive - through on the Subject Property other than what was submitted. Mr. Tinaglia stated that the garage along the northwest corner of the Subject Property would be demolished allowing an area for employee parking. Mr. Tinaglia said Village Bank recognized the need for drive - through lanes on the Subject Property. There would be two (2) drive - through lanes and one (1) pass - through lane. Mr. Donnelly asked if an ATM would be installed in the pass - through lane. Mr. Tinaglia stated an ATM would be installed, but not in the third lane. The second drive - through lane would be doubled up as a lane for a teller and a lane for the ATM. Mr. Tinaglia said the pass - through lane was needed to meet the ViIlage's stacking requirements. Mr. Beattie confirmed with the Petitioner that the third lane would remain as a pass - through lane. Mr. Beattie asked what kind of additional landscaping would be installed in the area north of the proposed drive - through lanes. Mr. Tinaglia stated that a landscape architect has been hired to include taller shrubbery that is green all year round. He said Staff required more landscaping than what was originally proposed. Chairman Rogers confirmed with the Petitioner that he would address all six (6) recommendations listed by Staff in its report. Chairman Rogers swore in Joseph Maniscalco, 217 Village Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Maniscalco stated he opposed the plans as submitted by the Petitioner. He had concerns about the location of the ATM in regards to his property. Mr. Maniscalco compared the ATM with the standards for a Conditional Use. He also mentioned how close car lights would be to his and his neighbor's property. Mr. Maniscalco questioned why the pass - through lane existed and believed it may be utilized by the bank in the future. Mr. Beattie asked how high the fence was that separated the Subject Property with the residential area to the north. Mr. Maniscalco said the fence was five (5) feet high. He stated the fence is slated so there are some areas that can be seen through the fence. Mr. Donnelly asked if a solid six (6) foot fence would be preferred. Mr. Maniscalco said he wanted something that was soundproof and view proof from all sides. He believed that any use at the Subject Property would significantly alter the character of the townhome development to the north. Chairman Rogers swore in Michael Davey, Executive Director and President of Mount Prospect Child Care Center, 406 E. Northwest Highway, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Davey said his business is located at School Street and Northwest Highway (across the street to the East from the Subject Property). Mr. Davey asked if there were safety measures indicating that there was a child care center in the area. He wanted to know if any signs would be placed to warn motorists. Chairman Rogers swore in Jane Shaffer, 217 College Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Shaffer said she is a member of the Board of Directors for the Village Commons Condominium Association. She stated there were concerns for lights from vehicles, but a major concern was the driveway. Ms. Shaffer stated that the bank has an easement on the Village Commons property. She believed more patrons of the bank would utilize the easement due to the traffic flow of the site and turn onto School Street, rather than Northwest Highway. Ms. Shaffer also discussed signage for safety reasons. She asked the Commission if the Conditional Use would transfer to any Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 3 of 6 other business types. Ms. Shaffer wanted to know if a restaurant with a drive - through could go in if the Conditional Use was approved and issued to the bank. Chairman Rogers said the Conditional Use was only for the bank. Any other proposed use that included a drive - through would be subject to its own public hearing. Chairman Rogers swore in Judy Schoch, 221 Village Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Schoch stated that she was also on the Board of Directors for the Village Commons Condominium Association. She provided a picture that showed the view outside her front window. Ms. Schoch said the current existing fence would be inadequate for the lights that would come through from the proposed drive - through. She knew landscaping was being proposed, but asked about a taller fence. Ms. Schoch stated the four (4) foot request for the setback was more reasonable than the two (2) foot setback that was originally proposed. Mr. Youngquist asked who owned the fence. Ms. Schoch stated that the fence belonged to and was on the Village Commons property. There was additional discussion on replacing the fence and whose property it would be placed on. Mr. Youngquist stated that Ms. Schoch's view would change out her den window with the proposed landscaping. Ms. Schoch was okay with this. Chairman Rogers said the Commission has received letters from neighbors who expressed their concerns regarding the Subject Case. Ms. Schoch stated that there were concerns, but the Association was looking to compromise. Chairman Rogers swore in Mary Skittone, 1503 Oneida Lane, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Skittone stated that she was speaking on behalf of her parents who reside at 221 University Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. She said her parents wrote a letter that was submitted to the Commission. Ms. Skittone wanted to reiterate the Conditional Use standards as stated by Staff. She believed the lights facing north would be detrimental and lower her parents' property value. Chairman Rogers swore in Pat Jamieson, 219 Village Drive, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Jamieson stated that her unit is located entirely on the second floor that overlooks the parking lot for the bank. She said she would see any headlight coming in from Northwest Highway. Ms. Jamieson asked if vehicles could come in off of School Street and face south towards Northwest Highway. She was concerned with the Variance request for the setback and stated all she would be looking at out of her window would be vehicles. Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner if he would be willing to install a higher fence. Mr. Tinaglia stated that he would be willing to replace the fence on the Village Commons property. He said the height of the fence could be determined by Staff and the PIanning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Tinaglia stated greenery would help everyone in regards to the concerns. Mr. Tinaglia discussed the easement that runs to School Street and the bank's relationship with the Village Commons Association. Chairman Rogers asked about the operations of the bank. Mr. Polanski stated the drive -up would be opened from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mr. Bowman said the lobby hours would be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Fridays, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Chairman Rogers said there would not be a lot of traffic with headlights on Iate in the evening. Mr. Tinaglia stated the only time headlights would be on during bank hours would be in the winter time when the days are shorter. Mr. Polanski discussed the concerns regarding ATM traffic when the bank is closed. He stated the data they have was based on their head office and branch of Village Bank and Trust located at 234 W. Northwest Highway in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Mr. Polanski said the Arlington Heights branch is much larger than the proposed Mount Prospect branch. It has one ATM machine as well. Mr. Polanski said from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., the Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 4 of 6 bank has averaged one (1) ATM transaction per day. This data was taken from January 2011 through a part of May 2011. From 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., the bank's ATM averages two and a half (2.5) transactions per day. Mr. Polanski stated the Mount Prospect branch would not be as busy as the Arlington Heights branch and concluded that the ATM activity would not exceed either. Mr. Beattie confirmed with Mr. Polanski that there would only be one ATM at the Subject Property. Mr. Donnelly asked where the ATM would be located on the Subject Property. Mr. Polanski said it would be in the second lane beyond the teller tube. Mr. Polanski stated the majority of the ATM activity is conducted during the day when the bank is open. Mr. Beattie asked what the purpose was of the pass - through lane. Mr. Tinaglia said it is for vehicles that are caught up in the drive - through that no longer want to wait. He stated per Village Code, each active drive - through lane has stacking requirements for four (4) cars. Mr. Tinaglia said he could not meet the stacking requirements for three (3) active lanes. The Petitioner met the stacking requirements for two (2) active lanes and one (1) pass - through lane. Ms. Andrade stated that it is common practice of the Village to request the pass - through lane for any drive - through. Mr. Floros discussed how the Chase Bank on Busse Avenue has ATM traffic that is constant and well into the evening. Mr. Youngquist agreed and stated headlights from vehicles shine on residential single - family homes. He discussed the circulation and traffic flow for the bank and stated that the circulation for the proposed drive - through could not face south because drivers would need to face the teller stations. Mr. Donnelly discussed how landscaping would reduce the amount of light from vehicles. Mr. Polanski stated that the bank would do whatever is necessary. He said that the bank has drawn up the best plan for the site based on existing conditions. Mr. Polanski stated the drive- through is necessary for the bank to be a success. Mr. Donnelly asked if the range of hours of operation be placed within the Conditional Use. Mr. Polanski agreed, but asked for some leeway because the bank just changed its hours trying to determine what works best for them. He would not have any issue if a condition was placed stating that the bank could not be opened past 7:00 p.m. Mr. Maniscalco wanted the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider the noise factor for the subject case in addition to the light issue. He also asked if the Petitioner received approval from the Village Board, when the project would begin. Chairman Rogers said the time table for the project to be completed is not under the jurisdiction of the Planning and Zoning Commission. If the Petitioner received approval from the Village Board, then plans could be submitted to the Building Department and the permit process could begin. Mr. Donnelly stated a bank with its hours of operations creates a lot Iess noise than other uses that could go in at the Subject Property. 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 8:14 p.m. and brought the discussion back to the board. Mr. Floros asked those in the audience to show by a raise of hands who could live with the additional conditions placed and who could not. Mr. Donnelly made a motion, seconded by Mr. Youngquist to approve a Conditional Use to operate a bank with drive- through lanes and Variation to reduce the parking lot setback from ten (10) feet to four (4) feet along the north property line at 320 E. Northwest Highway, Case No. PZ- 10 -11, subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Report and the following additional conditions: Providing a six (6) foot tall privacy fence along the north property line that will be owned by the residential townhome association; and The hours of operation not to exceed from 7:00 a.m. _ 7:00 p.m. Monday - Friday, and 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Saturdays.

NORTHWEST HIGHWAY 1 CONDITIONAL USE (DRIVE - THROUGH) & VARIATION (PARKING LOT SETBACK) BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the May 26, 2011 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Tinaglia Architects on behalf of Village Bank & Trust (the "Petitioner ") regarding the property located at 320 E. Northwest Highway (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is requesting a Conditional Use to construct a drive - through and a Variation to decrease the parking lot setback from ten (10) feet to two (2) feet along the north property line. The P &Z hearing was properly noticed in the May 11, 2011 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250 - feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property (formerly Ravenswood Bank) is located on Northwest Highway between Maple and School Street. The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial and is considered part of the downtown commercial district. The Subject Property is bordered by R3 Low Density Residential to the north, B5 Central Commercial to the east, I2 Railroad to the south, and R3 Low Density Residential to the west. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The Petitioner proposes to renovate the existing banking facility and construct two drive - through lanes. As proposed, the project requires Conditional Use approval for the drive - through lanes and a Variation to the required parking lot setback. The various elements of the proposal are outlined below: Site Plan —The proposed site plan indicates that the northerly portion of the building will be demolished and a new entry canopy and drive - through canopy will be constructed. As currently designed, the bank will include two drive - through lanes and a pass -thru lane located along the east elevation of the building. The parking lot will be reconfigured to allow for the drive- through lanes and incorporate new landscape islands. The four parking spaces currently located perpendicular to Northwest Highway and the six parking spaces located in the center of the lot will be removed. As shown, the Petitioner proposes to construct seven new parking spaces and landbank four parking spaces along the north property line. The overall lot coverage will be reduced from seventy eight (78) percent to seventy six (76) percent. i PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 3 Access to the bank will be provided via the existing entrance /exit drive located on Northwest Highway and the drive located at the northeast corner of the site that leads to School Street. As currently drawn, the site plan will require revisions to address the following Village Staff comments: 1. Handicap accessible ramps should be installed where the proposed sidewalk meets the driveway near the handicap accessible parking spaces, and in the public sidewalk on either side of the driveway onto Northwest Highway. (3 locations total) 2. A stop sign should be installed at the driveway onto Northwest Highway for vehicles leaving the site. 3. If there is no building entrance located on the north elevation, a sidewalk should be installed to direct the customers to the front door. Parking — The Village Code requires three (3) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for a bank. The proposed 4,606 square foot bank requires fourteen (14) parking spaces. The Petitioner's proposal will meet the required parking spaces by providing a total of sixteen (16) parking spaces. In addition, the Petitioner intends to land bank four (4) parking spaces along the north property line. The Village Code also requires four (4) stacking spaces for each drive through window. Since the Petitioner's proposal includes two drive - through windows, a total of eight (8) stacking spaces are required. The proposal would comply with the required eight (8) stacking spaces. Trash Enclosure - The site plan indicates there is an existing wood fence trash enclosure adjacent to the north building elevation. The Petitioner intends to utilize the existing trash enclosure. Building Elevations - The building is currently constructed out of brick veneer, including aluminum storefronts, and a seam metal roof. Per the attached elevations, the Petitioner proposes to construct the new entry canopy and drive - through canopy to match the existing brick and metal roof The new entry and drive - through canopies will also include stone veneer at the base of each column. Landscaping - The attached landscape plan details the proposed plant materials and sizes. As currently drawn, the landscape plan does not comply with the landscape requirements. The landscape plan shall be revised to address the following Village Staff comments: 1. Providing one (1) additional shade tree along the north lot line. 2. Providing 50% of live coverage, including a mixture of plantings, in the landscape islands at each end of the row of two parking spaces (located just east of the drive - through canopy). 3. Replacing the two Chanticleer Pear trees along the south property line with shade trees. 4. Providing two clusters of shrubs that are a minimum height of three feet (3') and containing seven (7) to nine (9) shrubs per cluster in the perimeter landscape area currently shown with two ornamental trees. 5. Providing at a minimum one shade or ornamental tree in the south foundation landscape area. 6. Providing at a minimum one shade or ornamental tree in the west foundation landscape area. 7. Include a plant material schedule listing botanical names, common names, caliper or height, and quantity of all proposed plantings. Lighting Plan — Per the site plan, three (3) new parking lot lights will be installed. The Petitioner will be required to submit a photometric plan, including fixture cut sheets, for lighting as part of the building permit process. The Petitioner has not requested relief from the lighting regulations and will be required to comply with the Village's regulations. Sig age — The attached drawings indicate the proposed signs for the bank. As proposed, there would be one new wall sign on the south building elevation. The existing freestanding sign would be modified to include a new acrylic sign display. Signage will require separate reviews and permits. 4 PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION Page 4 The Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the Subject Property as Neighborhood Commercial, and notes that the Neighborhood Commercial areas contain a range of office, retail, and commercial service establishments. Residential areas often abut the rear of these commercial properties, as is the case with the Subject Property. The Petitioner's proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's designation. GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE The Subject Property is zoned B5 Central Commercial. The B5 District does not have a required building setback or maximum lot coverage regulations. Therefore, the existing building setbacks and lot coverage are considered conforming. The Village Code requires a minimum ten (10) foot parking lot setback. The existing parking lot setback along the east property line is currently about seven (7) feet. This parking lot setback is considered non - conforming and will not be changing with the Petitioner's proposal. The existing parking lot setback along the north property line is currently zero (0). The Petitioner proposes to construct seven (7) new parking spaces with a two (2) foot setback along the north property line. The Petitioner seeks a Variation approval to reduce the required parking lot setback from ten (10) to two (2) feet along the north property line. 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; Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and The petitioner's request to construct drive - through lanes for the existing bank meets the standards for a Conditional Use. The drive - through lanes have been designed to be located on the east side of the building as to not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent properties, and access to the bank will not change from the existing access points. The use or value of the adjacent properties will not be impaired. The use as a bank complies with the Comprehensive Plan and will be constructed according to Village Codes. ►•!1 I&EIVI_[f)►R3..10043 The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these findings: • Would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located; • Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and • Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character. PZ -10 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 5 Prior to submittal, the Petitioner discussed the proposal with Staff on numerous occasions. The proposed development was designed to minimize the scope and number of Variations and still create a feasible drive - through bank. The requested Variation to the parking lot setback along the north property line is needed because the petitioner intends to construct new parking spaces. The site currently includes two parking spaces along the north property line, which have a zero (0) setback to the north property line. The proposed parking lot setback for the new parking spaces would be about two (2) feet. Village Staff has reviewed the Variation request and finds that it would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood. There is an existing wood privacy fence Iocated along the north property line on the residential property to the north. The fence will remain as is. Also, the Petitioner intends the increase the quantity and quality of the perimeter landscaping along the north property line to mitigate the impact of the parking lot setback. RECOMMENDATION Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the petitioner's requests for a Conditional Use to operate a bank with drive - through lanes and Variation to reduce the parking lot setback from ten (10) feet to two (2) feet along the north property line, subject to the following conditions: 1. Development of the site in general conformance with the site plan prepared by Tinaglia Architects dated April 7, 2011. 2. Development of the building in conformance with the elevations prepared by TinagIia Architects dated April 7, 2011. 3. Development of the site in general accordance with the Iandscape plan prepared by Tinaglia Architects, but revised to comply with Code 4. The third lane remains as a pass -thru lane. 5. Submittal of a photometric (lighting) plan and fixture cut sheets that indicate the site will comply with Village Code requirements. 6. Compliance with all Development, Fire, Building, and other Village Codes and regulations including signage that meet the Village Sign Code regulations. The Village Board's decision is final for this case. I concur: William J.

PZ -10 -11 To Mount Prospect Planning and Zoning Commission: My name is Sharon Hahn and I've lived at 219 University Drive, Mt. Prospect, Village Commons 211/2 years. My patio is approximately 4' -5' from Village Commons property fence and on the other side is Village Bank and Trust approximately 2' from the fence. My view of the bank is part green lawn and part the bank's back wall (garage). I understand this building would betaken down to accommodate drive through, parking lot and turn around. The parking lot and turn around would be directly on the other side of the fence replacing green lawn and building. I use my patio throughout the year and would be sitting within feet of their expanded parking lot. That is also the view I would have from my eating area and living room.. Having cars parked within 2 ft. of the property line from the University, Village and School Street buildings would put the bank and parking lot nearly on top of us. They would be infringing on our quiet residential area. Of critical importance is the negative effect the proximity of the bank drive through would have on the values of our homes; our quality of life and our privacy. The unpleasant view and extreme closeness would be very unwelcome. Our homes and living space are very personal. Who would want to buy my home with a parking lot just feet from my patio? I know I wouldn't. I understand the bank's desire to put in a drive through, but not at the expense of homeowners' property values and quality of life. I STRONGLY OPPOSE TINAGLIA ARCHITECTS REQUEST ON BEHALF OF VILLAGE BANK AND TRUST TO BUILD A BANK DRIVE THROUGH AT 814 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY. Thank you for considering my comments.

Prospect Condominium Association DATE: May 19, 2011 RE: Case No. PZ -10 -11 Conditional Use for Drive -thru Bank and Zoning Variance It is our understanding that the Bank located at 320 E. Northwest Highway is seeking a Conditional Use for a drive -thru bank on its.property as well as Zoning Variances including one that would permit it to have parking spaces within 2 feet of our shared property line. As representatives of the unit owners of Village Commons, the townhome project located directly north and west of the property in question, we find it necessary to inform you of our concerns about these requests. We believe that as proposed, the drive -thru lanes project will serve to reduce both the quiet enjoyment and the long term value of the units located at the end of Village Drive and School Street for several reasons. 1. As designed, it is more likely than not that the cars leaving the drive -thru lanes will exit via the easement on our driveway leading out to School Street rather than out the bank's entrance on Northwest Highway. This will create heavy commercial traffic on this driveway of a type not envisioned when the easement was granted for normal B5 use. The easement brings cars within 10 feet of some homeownes' front porches. Headlights will be flashing through windows located on that side of the building. In addition, this is a driveway used as the only access for some homeowners' driveways and front porches. This plan would effectively change their access to their homes through the drive as well as limit or endanger normal pedestrian access to their homes. 2. The increased use of the easement will also create additional wear and tear on the driveway which is maintained and cleared by Village Commons— 3. 3. Although it does not appear on the plan shown to us by the city, we have been told by bank employees that they plan to include an ATM machine in these drive -thru lanes which means that there will be cars driving in all night long. This would extend all of the traffic issues stated above not to only business hours, but twenty four hours a day Please note especially that this means the homeowners affected by lights would be subject to them at any time of day or night. This also creates security issues of bringing the public onto our private property around the clock. We are also concerned about the request for the Zoning Variance that would permit parking spots to be within 2 feet of the property line. We believe this variance would both infringe on the privacy of the homes close to the property line and will result in potential damage to our privacy fence which is located just north of the property line. Currently, there are three parking spots in the bank's lot that are within a foot of our fence. That section of our fence has been repeated ly hit by cars creating permanent damage to the fence. We believe that any variance granted should require either a curb or roll stop far enough from the fence that even the largest cars cannot reach and further damage it. Andrade, Consuelo From: John & Madeline Fate Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 4:31 PM To: Andrade, Consuelo Subject: Tinaglia Architects: Case No. PZ -10 -11 SUBJECT: Tinaglia Archiects: Case No. PZ -10 -11 We oppose Tinaglia Architects request to expand the parking lot with additional parking spaces and a drive- through at 320 East Northwest Highway. The parking lot and turn- around could be as close as 2 feet to the property line putting cars and traffic within a few feet of our patio. The commercial driving activities of the bank customers would adversely affect our residential quality of living and lower the resale value of our home.

My husband and I are 22 -year residents of Village Commons, the condo community adjacent to the proposed zoning changes. We feel that the addition of a drive- through banking facility to the existing building would push the limits of reasonableness in regard to the neighboring residents, especially those at the ends of the University and Village Drive.. The proximity to the fence (lot lines), the increased traffic (especially consideing headlights), and the mutual use of the School Street exit from the parking lot are all negative factors that affect the entire Village Commons community. We certainly do not want to discourage businesses who wish to locate in Mount Prospect, but serious evaluation of the effects on the established neighborhood must be a high priority of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and eventually the Village Board. We regret we are unablae to attend this meeting on May 26, but wish our comments to be included among those from other homeowners who do plan to attend.

School St Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847- 749 -4675 RE: Ravenswood Bank ATM P2 -10 -11 To whom it may concern: > K MAY 2 7 2011 Village of € ' I- PrusPG:ct Com[nunify DeiOiOPInent I was at the meeting on May 26, 2011, and feel I should summarize my thoughts before you make your final decision. I am a member of the Village Commons Board, and my townhome directly faces Re/Max and Ravenswood Bank. When Judy Schoch spoke last night, she made a lot of sense. Putting a 6 foot fence right at the property line would be a great solution and resolve the whole thing. The arguments of this bringing down the property value are totally ridiculous. I owned Century 21 Langos and Christian until 1996, and have had my broker's license since 1974. The townhouses that face Re/Max and the bank were already of lesser value because they were purchased when that commercial real estate already existed. Ravenswood Bank did not hurt the value when it took over Pesche's Flowers, it was already a commercial business. Adding an ATM would not hurt the value in any way. To be honest with you, .I think it will be a great addition because they are going to beautify the exterior appearance. The townhouses of some of the people that wrote in live in a location that will be minimally affected by the addition of a drive through. One of the people that spoke last night about the lights lives 2 doors in, and I cannot see how lights would affect him at all. The woman worrying about keeping her shades down should lower her shades anyhow if she has concerns about privacy. Judy Schock and my wife and I will be closest to the headlights, and all of us would welcome a 6 foot fence. If you look at the survey, the existing fence is one foot inside of our.property. A new fence should be positioned closer to the lot line. Many of the individuals at the meeting last night repeatedly oppose our association board despite efforts to make them happy. It is likely that you have encountered similar individuals in the community. This correspondence is meant to reflect my views on this matter. I would prefer that this letter not be made public as I value my position on the board. Some of the unhappy homeowners would not want us supporting for the bank's position. I have been a customer of Ravenswood Bank since they opened, and have known them.to be good people. I feel they would. do anything to make the association happy. These are the kind of people Mount Prospect needs as business partners. In summary, I am completely in favor of the Village allowing the plan for the Ravenswood Bank ATM assuming they are willing to put a new fence all along the property line.

JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: MAY 27, 2011 SUBJECT: PZ -11 -11 / NORTHWEST HIGHWAY CORRIDOR PLAN The Community Development Department is seeking approval of the Northwest Highway Corridor Study, which is a proposed amendment to the Official Comprehensive Plan. Since the adoption of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan, Staff has been working to initiate strategies from the Plan's Implementation Program. One of the strategies listed in the Implementation Program is to create a strategic plan for Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue to promote the area as a commercial corridor for development and redevelopment. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study serves as a guide for future development and addresses issues and opportunities within the corridor. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study is comprised of an Existing Conditions Report, Issues & Recommendations, Vision Goals & Objectives, and Implementation Program. The Existing Conditions discusses the characteristics of the Northwest Highway Corridor within the past year. Information for this section was gathered through interviews, surveys, public meetings, and from multiple data sources. The Issues & Recommendations section was based on information analyzed from the Existing Conditions Report, the public, and staff comments. The Goals & Objectives Section outlines the vision and future direction for the corridor study. The Implementation Section provides specific strategies targeted to address the issues identified in the study. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to review the request on Thursday, May 26, 2011, and by a vote of 5 -0, with two members absent, recommended that the Village Board adopt the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Details of the proceedings and items discussed during the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing are included in the attached minutes. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their June 7, 2011 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter. �k , � William J.

After hearing two cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ- 11 -11, Northwest Highway Corridor Study, at 9:23 p.m. Ms. Andrade stated Northwest Highway has historically played a vital role in the development of the Village. It was the first commercial corridor in Mount Prospect and the primary vehicular linkage to other communities in the Northwest Suburbs. Ms. Andrade said that Northwest Highway continues to be one of the primary roads in the Village connecting the central business districts of several communities along the Union Pacific Northwest train line and providing a mixed use environment. Ms. Andrade stated the importance of the corridor and the direction of the Village Comprehensive Plan calling for the development of a strategic plan for Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue. She mentioned that the Northwest Highway Corridor Study was developed in order to promote the area as a commercial corridor for development and redevelopment. The study serves as a guide for future development and addresses issues and opportunities within the corridor. Ms. Andrade said the study area included Northwest Highway from Mount Prospect Road to Waterman Avenue, and Prospect Avenue from Central Road to School Street. The study area was broken down into three distinct areas: East Northwest Highway, Downtown Northwest Highway, and West Northwest Highway. Ms. Andrade stated the Northwest Highway Corridor Study was created based on input from a steering committee and the public. The Steering Committee consisted of Village Staff members from various departments, including Public Works, Fire, and the Building Department. The public was involved through several forums, which included interviews and surveys completed by businesses currently located within the study area. In addition, there was an open house that was held in May 2010 as well as an online comment period, and a public meeting held in November 2010. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -11 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 1 of 4 Ms. Andrade said the Northwest Highway Corridor Study was comprised of four (4) principal sections: An Existing Conditions Report, Issues & Recommendations, Vision Goals & Objectives, and Implementation Program. The Existing Condition section discussed the characteristics of the Northwest Highway Corridor as where within the past year. The Issues & Recommendations section identified issues that residents and businesses identified and provided recommendations for addressing them. The Vision Goals & Objectives Section outlined the vision and future direction for the corridor study. Finally, the Implementation Program provided specific strategies targeted to address the issues identified. Ms. Andrade stated the Northwest Highway Corridor consisted of a mix of land uses, including commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial. Approximately half of the land area is zoned commercial. Land zoned for residential makes up approximately nineteen percent (19 %) of the total land area. This includes single family and multi- family residential. Meadows Park and the Aquatic Center is zoned CR Conservation Recreation and occupies twenty -two percent (22 %) of the land area within the study area. Finally, approximately six percent (6 %) of the study area is zoned industrial. Ms. Andrade said according to Costar (a commercial real estate information company), approximately seventeen percent (17 %) of commercial, office, or retail space within the corridor is available for lease. The vacancies are not limited to one area along the corridor study area, but are scattered throughout the study area. Ms. Andrade stated the study area was divided by the railroad tracks and Northwest Highway. Northwest Highway, Central Road, Elmhurst Road, Emerson Street, and Mt. Prospect Road are the primary means of vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The corridor experiences traffic delays during the morning and evening peak hours when demand and train services are increased. Ms. Andrade said the public and Staff identified seven (7) focus areas and created recommendations to address issues. The public reported a lack of public awareness for some of the businesses, public transportation, and public parking available. The study recommended using signage and marketing mediums to let people know what is available in Mount Prospect. In regards to land uses, the public expressed a desire to see a wider array of uses such as entertainment and family - friendly businesses within the corridor. The Village would continue to work with brokers and local entrepreneurs to establish desired land uses in the corridor. Ms. Andrade stated the public mentioned they would like to see consistent streetscape throughout the corridor and programs for improving storefronts. The study called for the completion of the streetscape improvements along the corridor. Since some of the buildings within the corridor are aging structures in need of updates, the Village would work with property owners and prospective businesses to understand the cost of retrofitting older buildings. The public identified traffic and circulation related issues caused by the railroad lines. Village Staff would work to enhance the pedestrian and vehicular environment in downtown. Finally, in regards to infrastructure, the public pointed out street and sidewalk deterioration in some areas of Northwest Highway. Since Northwest Highway is under the jurisdiction of IDOT, the Village would proactively work with IDOT on long range improvement plans for Northwest Highway. Ms. Andrade said a vision statement for the corridor was created based on the community input. To "Enhance the economic viability of the Northwest Highway Corridor by making it more attractive and accessible place for conducting business and living" is the vision statement that was created for the Northwest Highway Corridor. This statement captures what residents and businesses envisioned the Northwest Highway Corridor to be. Economically viable and accessible for not only the businesses, but for residents that live or visit the corridor were key items expressed as important. Ms. Andrade stated the goals and objectives of the study relate back to the Village's Comprehensive Plan. For Economic Development, the goal was to create a viable commercial corridor that consists of a mix of desired land uses and services. Objectives for Economic Development include maintaining current businesses and attracting new businesses, such as kid friendly uses and a grocery store. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -11 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 2 of 4 Ms. Andrade said regarding transportation, the goal was to provide a balanced transportation system which provides for safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians, supports surrounding land development, and enhances regional transportation facilities. Promoting and encouraging alternative modes of transportation is one objective for transportation. Ms. Andrade stated in terms of infrastructure, the goal was to maintain a public infrastructure system that efficiently provided utilities, public improvements and flood control. Objectives for infrastructure included protecting natural water retention and drainage where possible and ensuring new development does not have an adverse impact on flood control. Ms. Andrade said the goal of housing and community facilities was to provide housing and amenities that supported the population and enhanced the quality of life within the corridor. Ms. Andrade stated strategies were developed to meet each goal and objective similar to the Implementation Program of the Comprehensive Plan. Each strategy has a related objective which refers to the goal and objective to which it is addressing. Each listing would identify the Village Department or other agency /group that would lead the implementation of the strategy. There would be a defined timeline for completing a strategy: five (5) years is short-term, five (5) to fifteen (15) years is long -term, and there would also be an ongoing timeline as well. Finally, each listing would provide a type of strategy which could be an action, study, or coordination. Ms. Andrade said based on the direction of the Village Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning make a positive recommendation for the Northwest Highway Corridor Study. Chairman Rogers stated how comprehensive the study was and commended Staff for their time and effort in putting the study together. Mr. Donnelly asked if Staff looked into making the corridor more bike friendly. Ms. Andrade responded the study included recommendation regarding biking within the corridor, and added that the Village was in the process of finalizing a bike plan, which included more detailed information for making the Village overall more bike friendly. Mr. Donnelly asked if there was any consideration for tunnels to go under the railroad tracks so the trains would not cause traffic interference. Ms. Andrade stated one of the recommendations was to explore potential grants to see what the feasibility would be in either creating a pedestrian bridge at a minimum or some type of bridge to improve circulation. Mr. Donnelly discussed the need for traffic congestion relief so residents could get North or South of the tracks without trains holding up traffic. Chairman Rogers said that the study did discuss bike traffic along the railroad tracks and a beautification program along the tracks. Mr. Youngquist stated the study was a great plan. Chairman Rogers swore in Ruta Veitmanis, 104 Mac Arthur, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Veitmanis stated that her property was in the western area of the proposed study. She wanted to know why a small residential section was included in the study when the commercial areas seemed to be the areas of improvement. Ms. Veitmanis said she would like to know what the Village's long term plans were regarding her property. Chairman Rogers stated that the entire section of Northwest Highway that runs through Mount Prospect was included from boundary to boundary. He said that since Ms. Veitmanis' property was residential, it would most likely stay as residential. Mr. Floros and Mr. Youngquist agreed that the residential sections included in the study would remain as residential. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -11 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 3 of 4 Ms. Veitmanis discussed other issues regarding evergreen trees along the right -of -way. It was determined that Ms. Veitmanis would need to contact the Public Works Department regarding the trees. Mr. Donnelly made a motion, seconded by Mr. Beattie for the Planning & Zoning Commission make a positive recommendation to the Village Board to amend the Official Comprehensive Plan to include the Northwest Highway Corridor Study. UPON ROLL CALL: AYES: Beattie, Donnelly, Floros, Youngquist, Rogers NAYS: None Motion was approved 5 -0. The Village Board's decision is final for this case. Mr. Donnelly made a motion, seconded by Mr. Beattie to adjourn at 9:41 p.m. The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

PZ -11 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 BACKGROUND Page 2 A public hearing has been scheduled for the May 26, 2011 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by the Village of Mount Prospect (the "Petitioner ") regarding a proposed amendment to the Village's Comprehensive Plan. The P &Z hearing was properly noticed in the May 11, 2011 edition of the Journal & Topics Newspaper. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL Since the adoption of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan, Staff has been working to initiate strategies from the Plan's Implementation Program. One of the strategies listed in the Implementation Program is to create a strategic plan for Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue to promote the area as a commercial corridor for development and redevelopment. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study serves as a guide for future development and addresses issues and opportunities within the corridor. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study is comprised of an Existing Conditions Report, Issues & Recommendations, Vision Goals & Objectives, and Implementation Program. The Existing Conditions discusses the characteristics of the Northwest Highway Corridor within the past year. Information for this section was gathered through interviews, surveys, public meetings, interviews, and from multiple data sources. The Issues & Recommendations section was based on information analyzed from the Existing Conditions Report, the public, and staff comments. The Goals & Objectives Section outlines the vision and future direction for the corridor study. The Implementation Section provides specific strategies targeted to address the issues identified in the study. A summary of the recommendations include: • Visibility/Public Awareness • Propose a way finding signage program; • Explore the idea of promoting areas of the Village through the Village newsletter; • Educate business owners on signage permitted per Code. • Land Uses o Encourage a wider range of lands uses, including a grocery store and family friendly uses. • Aesthetic Improvements o Complete the streetscape improvements in the planned areas; o Continue to work with Union Pacific Railroad on landscaping and maintenance of their railroad property; o Encourage infill development without front yard setbacks and with parking behind the buildings to provide a continuous row of storefronts; o Explore ideas for programs that address vacant storefronts with local organizations; o Explore the possibility of working with property owners to encourage decorating vacant storefronts or use of them to advertise or market the downtown area. • Building Conditions/Utilities o Work with property owners of older buildings, such as those on Prospect Avenue, to proactively upgrade the water service to help attract new tenants; o Work with prospective businesses to understand the costs of retrofitting older buildings; o Continue property maintenance enforcement of abandoned buildings and properties. • Traffic o Work with Pace to market their bus routes and services and advertise bus stop locations; o Publicize the conclusions from previous Route 83 and Northwest Highway intersection studies to help the public understand the issues and how the Village has implemented options available to improve circulation; PZ -11 -I1 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 26, 2011 Page 3 o Encourage shared parking agreements between private parking lot owners to open their parking lots to the public after business hours (5 p.m. to 10 p.m.). • Circulation o Work to enhance the pedestrian environment in downtown with countdown pedestrian signals, areas of refuge, or other improvements to increase crossing safety. • Infrastructure o Work with IDOT on long -range improvement plans for Northwest Highway that will affect the road condition and drainage; o Work with IDOT to address maintenance issues through a maintenance schedule. Staff worked to create consistency between the Northwest Highway Corridor Study and the Comprehensive Plan where possible. The general framework of the Comprehensive Plan was followed, but some of the categories for the Goals and Objectives were modified to better address the specific needs of the Northwest Highway study area. The Goals and Objectives closely resemble the structure of the Comprehensive Plan Goals Section by breaking the goals down by Economic Development, Transportation, Infrastructure, and Housing & Community Facilities. The strategies to reach the goals are actionable tasks and are specific to the study area. The Implementation Program contains strategies, responsible parties, and timeframe for each action. Adopting specific directives which address the characteristics of the Northwest Highway Corridor will provide the development community with a clear vision of the type of development and redevelopment that the Village will support for the corridor. Communicating these policies to the development community prior to formal submission of a plan to the Village will allow developers and property owners to better evaluate development opportunities for the area and develop initial plans that are consistent with the Village's vision. "Up front" information will result in high duality development within the Northwest Highway Corridor. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a recommendation to the Village Board to amend the Official Comprehensive Plan for the Village of Mount Prospect to include the Northwest Highway Corridor Study.

Northwest Highway was the primary vehicular linkage to other communities in the Northwest Suburbs throughout the first half of the twentieth century. It continues to connect the central business districts of several communities along the Union Pacific Northwest train line. As development of the northwest suburbs continued throughout the late 20th century, other corridors supplanted the Northwest Highway Corridor as primary commercial corridors. In Mount Prospect, the Rand, Elmhurst, and Golf Road corridors have been developed with regional shopping centers. The importance of Northwest Highway prompted the Village of Mount Prospectto complete a study on the Northwest Highway Corridor to sustain it as an essential corridor and an asset to the community. Additionally, the Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan recommended a more detailed corridor study of Northwest Highway. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study ( "Study') identifies current issues within the corridor and recommends actions to address these issues. The Study provides existing and prospective businesses and residents with a future vision for the corridor and an action plan for achieving goals. The Study strives to highlight key forces impacting the corridor and to enhance the character and economic viability of the Northwest Highway Corridor. The Study was developed through an interactive planning process that involved input from the public on their views of the corridor and suggestions to continue the vitality of the corridor. The Northwest Highway Corridor Study is broken up into the following sections: • Study Area Definition: Discusses the boundaries and rationale for the study area. • Background: Includes a description of the Village's Comprehensive Plan and how it relates to the corridor study. Describes other corridor studies that have been completed by the Village. • Planning Process: Describes the development of the Northwest Highway Corridor Study. • Existing Conditions: Documents the conditions of the corridor in 2010. • Issue Identification & Recommendations: Discusses the issues within the corridor as identified by the public and Village staff. Discusses strategies to mitigate issues or accentuate positive aspects of the corridor. • Vision, Goals, and Objectives: Provides a vision for the corridor and goals and objectives to achieve the vision. • Implementation Program: Contains an actionable plan for meeting the recommendations of the study. Page 1 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan STUDY AREA DEFINITION The study area includes Northwest Highway from Mount Prospect Road (east Village boundary) to Waterman Ave (west Village boundary), and includes Prospect Avenue from Central Road to School Street. Part of Prospect Avenue was included in the study area because it is located within the Village's downtown area and includes comparable characteristics to Northwest Highway, including a mix of uses, compact development, and a variety of building types. The study area is broken down into three distinct areas: East Northwest Highway, Downtown Northwest Highway, and West Northwest Highway. The three segments of the study area each have different attributes and characteristics. For purposes of discussion, the Prospect Avenue portion of the study will be included in the downtown area. The downtown segment of the study includes properties that border Northwest Highway or Prospect Avenue. The Downtown Strategic Plan addresses the larger footprint of the downtown for planning purposes. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 2 BACKGROUND In 2007, the Village of Mount Prospect updated its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a land use and policy document that guides development for the entire Village over a period of 10 to 15 years. Included in the Comprehensive Plan is an implementation program, which addresses how the goals of the community will be met. One implementation strategy of the Comprehensive Plan recommended that the Village undertake a more detailed corridor study of Northwest Highway. Corridor studies and sub -area plans are similar in scope to a Comprehensive Plan but take a more detailed look at a specific geographic area and act as a sub - section of the Comprehensive Plan. The Village of Mount Prospect has completed other sub -area plans or corridor studies based on Comprehensive Plan directives. Other completed plans or studies are the South Mount Prospect Sub -area Plan, Rand Road Corridor Study, Central Road Corridor Study, and the Downtown Strategic Plan. The land use designations from the Comprehensive Plan guide the land use decisions throughout town. East Northwest Highway is designated as Neighborhood Commercial, which allows for office, retail and commercial service uses. The designation is typical for smaller properties along major Village thoroughfares. Neighborhood Commercial areas are often located in close proximity to residential neighborhoods. This designation is appropriate for the existing land uses and it preserves the commercial characteristic of the corridor. The Comprehensive Plan designates the downtown area along Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue as Central Commercial. The Central Commercial designation encourages dense development with a mix of retail, dining, commercial, and residential uses. The designation also encourages pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access to the area. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan provides a range of land use designations for West Northwest Highway: Single- family, Multi- family, Institutional, and Neighborhood Commercial. The land uses are more varied along the west segment of Northwest Highway, but the uses are not as intensive or as dense as the mixed uses in the downtown district. Similarly, these land use designations are clustered within West Northwest Highway with commercial uses being located primarily adjacent to downtown, residential in the center, and institutional/ offices to the west. Page 3 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan THE PLANNING PROCESS Public involvement is an important component to all planning and land use documents for the Village. To produce this document, the public was consulted through several forums: interviews, public meetings and surveys. The Economic Development Commission dedicated their May 2010 Business Retention Program Visits to the Northwest Highway Corridor Study and interviewed thirteen businesses located within the study area. The purposes of the visits were to understand strengths of the area as a business location and to learn about opportunities for improvements. The next opportunity for input was a public meeting on May 25, 2010. The Village sent a mailing to all addresses located in the study area boundary notifying property owners of the meeting. The meeting included a presentation on the corridor study and an open discussion on attendees' perceptions of the corridor. From the meeting and the interviews, staff compiled a distribution list to keep interested parties involved in the process and to notify them of updates and upcoming meetings. EXISTING CONDITIONS Corridor Characteristics East Northwest Highway has 1950s architectural style buildings with office and retail buildings set close to the front property line and alleyways behind the buildings for parking and access. A select number of properties in the east segment do not follow this lot configuration and primarily consist of small retail shopping centers or automotive uses with vehicle bays visible from the street. Because the service drives or private parking lots are situated to the sides or rears of buildings, curb cuts leading to parking lots and alleyways may be in close proximity to one another. East Northwest Highway has many examples of parking lots that break up the continuous storefront. The aerial image below demonstrates how parking areas located to the sides and rears of buildings on Northwest Highway are accessed. East Northwest Highway segment is comprised of very narrow lots. As redevelopment occurs, opportunities to consolidate lots and eliminate or combine curb cuts for parking and access should be explored to provide more cohesive development, lot access, and continuous storefronts. Downtown Mount Prospect includes a mix of new and old buildings. The north side of the railroad tracks has experienced significant residential and retail redevelopment over the last two decades centered around the Metra Train Station. Most of the development follows the recommendations from the Downtown TIF District Strategic Plan. Since the mid 1990s, 442 condominiums or townhomes have been constructed in the downtown area to accommodate residents seeking to "down size' and commuters looking for a convenient way to live near the train. The area south of the tracks, along Prospect Avenue, consists primarily of single story commercial buildings in a boulevard setting. Several structures located throughout the corridor are aging structures and will need significant upgrades to meet current standards. Items such as water service upgrades, fire sprinklers and accessibility will need to be addressed when there is a change of use in any of these structures. The cost associated with the upgrades can be challenging to prospective new tenants. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 4 West Northwest Highway area shares some similarities with the east segment. As in East Northwest Highway, several blocks in the west segment have buildings situated in front of parking lots and alleyways. However, the area west of the downtown has a greater mix of uses. The west segment has access to large public uses such as Meadows Park and Aquatic Center, commercial/ office buildings, and residential townhomes and single family homes. The single- family homes do not have frontage onto Northwest Highway and are separated from the roadway with fencing and landscaping. Prior to the recent economic downturn, there was strong interest from the development community to convert the offices uses located at the western edge of the corridor to residential uses. This interest will likely resurface in the coming years. Page 5 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan DEMOGRAPHICS The demographics within the Northwest Highway Corridor mirror those throughout the rest of the community, while household income and housing values averaging slightly higher than the rest of Mount Prospect. Within one mile of the downtown area, there are approximately 6,000 households with a median household income in the upper $70,000 (see chart below). According to demographic projections through Costar, a commercial real estate information company, the number of households in all three of the segments studied is projected to slightly decline by 2015 primarily due to an aging population. Businesses and retailers continually target Mount Prospect for store locations because of Mount Prospect's favorable demographics. Costar Report, April 2010 (10-90 E. Northwest Hwy) Occupancy Rate According to a Costar vacancy report for the fourth quarter of 2010, the regional retail and office markets are experiencing an 8.9% and 15.5% vacancy rate, respectfully. Within the corridor study area, approximately 17% of commercial, office, or retail space is for lease (Costar). The Northwest Highway Corridor is likely experiencing a slightly higher vacancy rate than the region due to the building stock's functional obsolescence and relatively low traffic counts for a commercial corridor. The vacancies are not limited to one area along the corridor study area, but are scattered throughout the study area. This study provides several recommendations to improve the commercial occupancy rate. Land Uses & Compatibility Comprehensive Plan land use designations identify land use patterns for future development. Existing land uses are not always consistent with the Comprehensive Plan category. In this section, the existing land uses for each section and their compatibility with the zoning or land use designation will be discussed. Overall, the Northwest Highway Corridor consists of a mix of land uses, including commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial. Each distinct area (east, downtown, and west) of Northwest Highway has some or all of these uses. However, each area differs from one another in land use composition and housing density.

Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 6 The East Northwest Highway segment includes the Village water tower, commercial, offices, and residential uses. Offices and commercial uses occupy sixty five percent (65 %) of the segment's land area, and typically back up to residential. Commercial uses include personal service, merchandise sales, a financial institution, and restaurants. Personal service uses consist of hair salons, child care, and computer and auto repair. Merchandise sales include jewelry, bikes, luggage, flooring, and appliances stores. Future commercial land uses should be evaluated to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses. Residential uses make up thirty three percent (33 %) of the land area and include a fifty four (54) unit townhouse development, which backs to Northwest Highway, and rentals units located above commercial spaces. The remaining land area is occupied by the Village water tower (2 %). The aerial image below illustrates the east segment. The downtown area of the Northwest Highway Corridor has a wider range of land uses and increased density. The downtown segment includes office, retail, personal service facilities, institutional uses, Metra Train Station, eating establishments, financial institutions and residential uses. Institutional uses include the fire and police station and public parking lots, which combined occupy fifteen percent (15 %) of the downtown land area. Other institutional uses, such as the Village Hall, parking deck and Mount Prospect Public Library, are located a block from the study area boundaries. Commercial and office uses take up the largest land area in the downtown area with sixty two percent (62 %). The residential uses make up twelve percent (12 %) and include a five unit (5) townhouse development on Prospect Avenue, eighteen (18) unit condominium building on Central Road, thirty -four (34) unit condominium building on Northwest Highway, and two condominium buildings with ninety (90) units. Additionally, Prospect Avenue has parking, commercial, light manufacturing, and some auto oriented uses, which include a repair shop and a car wash. Industrial uses make up eleven percent (11 %) of the downtown land area of Northwest Highway. Page 7 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan West Northwest Highway includes a park and aquatic center, office buildings, and residential. Meadows Park and Aquatic Center occupies fifty four percent (54 %) of the land in West Northwest Highway. The residential uses take up twenty -six percent (26 %) and consist of a fifty -four (54) unit condominium building, seven (7) unit townhome development, and eight (8) detached single - family homes, which back up to Northwest Highway. The remaining office and commercial uses are limited in density and dispersal throughout the West Northwest Highway segment. Office and commercial uses occupy twenty percent (20 %) of the land area in this segment. The aerial image below illustrates the west area. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 8 Zoning The Northwest Highway Corridor study area is made up of several zoning districts. The largest land area within the study area is zoned CR Conservation Recreation due to the Meadows Park and Aquatic Center. Half of the land area within the study area is zoned for commercial and office uses. Thirty percent (30 %) is zoned B5, and fourteen percent (14 %) is zoned B5C. Six percent (6 %) of the land area is zoned B1 Business Office. The area zoned for residential makes up nineteen percent (19 %) of the total land area within the study area. This includes single family and multi- family residential. Finally, six percent (6 %) of the study area is zoned for industrial. The table below provides a breakdown of the land area by zoning classification.

The Village owns and maintains the water mains, which have sufficient capacity to meet the water supply demands of the corridor, and the combined sewers, which provide adequate capacity to meet the sanitary and storm water drainage needs of the corridor. The Village recently upgraded the water mains within the corridor study area through the replacement of an aging water main located between Maple Street and Elmhurst Avenue. Overall, storm water drainage operates efficiently throughout the study area. While the storm water drainage is generally adequate, portions of Northwest Highway in the west segment experience slow drainage. These areas, located primarily to the west of Forest Avenue, may require improvements to the drainage systems as part of any future improvements to the roadway. The water service to private properties has been identified as a barrier to development in the study area. A change of use or occupancy classification for a space or building may trigger a property to comply with current fire code requirements (automatic fire sprinkler systems and /or fire detection systems). In some cases, it might also require a fire pump and water service upgrade depending on the use and size of the space. The cost to new businesses opening in the Northwest Highway Corridor will likely be impacted if these improvements are required to be installed. These are costs that the business may not have to incur if they were to locate to a new building elsewhere in the community. Circulation The study area is bifurcated by the railroad tracks and Northwest Highway. There are four streets that provide the primary means of vehicular and pedestrian circulation: Central Road, Main Street/ Elmhurst Road, Emerson Street, and Mt. Prospect Road. The Northwest Highway intersections at Central Road and Main Street, in particular, experience heavier traffic and make pedestrian crossing more difficult. Combined, these intersections experience approximately 64,900 vehicles a day. The adjacency of the Union Pacific Rail Line causes additional delay for motorists during peak time periods to accommodate commuter rail traffic. Several residents at the public meeting stated they would like to see safer crossings throughout the corridor. While crosswalks with pedestrian signals exist at Northwest Highway, the perception of traffic along Main Street/ Elmhurst Road acts as an inhibitor for people to cross this roadway. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 10 Traffic - Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Counts Northwest Highway (U.S. Route 14) is a federal route, which is maintained by the State of Illinois. The Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan designates Northwest Highway as one of ten major arterial roads in the Village. Northwest Highway experiences higher traffic volumes and congestion delays because of train service and number of street intersections located along the corridor in close proximity to one another. Traffic delays are most prevalent during the morning and evening peak hours when demand and train services are increased. Because Northwest Highway is an arterial road, traffic counts are higher than on the surrounding local roads. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) provides Average Daily Traffic counts for Northwest Highway. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts are measurements of traffic volume on a roadway, which indicate the average number of vehicles that travel on the roadway daily. The current ADT counts for Northwest Highway are 12,800 in the east segment, 12,500 in the downtown segment, and 13,500 in the west segment. Approximately 5% of the ADT Counts are truck traffic which is typical of a roadway of this type. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Counts Village of MOUd Prwpect o ma 'M os rba N NortlWest Higtway Corridor Shitly A Prospect Avenue is a local road maintained by the Village of Mount Prospect. Traffic on Prospect Avenue is not as intense as the traffic on Northwest Highway because it primarily serves local properties versus a larger region. The ADT counts for Prospect Avenue range from 1,900 to 3,200 vehicles per day. The map below illustrates the ADT for Northwest Highway and parts of Prospect Avenue within the study area: Page 1 1 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Peak Hour Turing Movement Counts along Northwest Highway The map below illustrates 2007/2008 peak hour traffic counts for Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue. The traffic counts were conducted in September and October 2007 and April 2008 during weekday morning (7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M), weekday evening (4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.) and Saturday midday (Noon to 2:00 P.M.) peak periods. The results of the traffic counts show that the weekday morning peak hour of traffic occurs from 7:35 to 8:35 A.M., the weekday evening peak hour of traffic occurs from 5:00 to 6:00 P.M. and the Saturday midday peak hour of traffic occurs from 12:45 to 1:45 P.M. Based on the traffic counts, there are no significant traffic movements that are over capacity that would require additional improvements to increase traffic flow, such as additional turn lanes. The existing roadway configuration is adequate to meet the current traffic demands. Improvements to increase the efficiency therefore would be limited to traffic signal optimization to reduce delays. The presence of the Union Pacific Northwest Line makes signal optimization difficult but should still remain a priority in order to improve access to the corridor and downtown area.

Public parking spaces are located within and outside the study area, and include the Village parking garage, on -street parking, and surface parking lots. There are approximately six hundred fifty (650) off -street public parking spaces available at no cost to the public. In addition, there are over two- hundred (200) on -street parking spaces provided along Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue. The Village parking garage and two of the surface parking lots are located approximately one block north of Northwest Highway. Although the parking garage and two surface parking lots are not located within the study area, they are located in close proximity and serve the uses within the study area. Visitors to downtown Mount Prospect generally utilize the free on -street parking and parking garage. The public off -street pay parking lots available are primarily used by Metra commuters. The largest of the pay parking lots is located on Maple Street, just south of Prospect Avenue. This pay parking lot provides two hundred eighty -four (284) parking spaces intended for Mount Prospect residents. There are also approximately three hundred (300) parking spaces located on Northwest Highway, just north of the railroad tracks. Busse Car Wash also offers their private parking lot for commuter and overnight parking. The number of private parking spaces for commercial buildings within the study area is limited. Generally, businesses located within the study area provide little to no parking spaces on their lot. Those businesses with private parking spaces usually provide less than ten (10) parking spaces on the side or rear of the building. Private parking lots are commonly accessed off the existing alley system. Overall, there appears to be sufficient parking in the downtown area to meet demand. Parking is available to all business locations within a short walking distance. The map below illustrates the parking available within the study area and the surrounding Downtown area. Page 13 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan VIMage of Motmt Prospect Downtown Parking Parking Code Analysis The Village's parking requirements vary depending on the type of use. For example, a professional office space requires four (4) parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area. Similarly, a retail store up to 30,000 square feet requires four (4) parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area. The parking requirement for food establishments differs from that of an office or retail use. Depending if the food establishment is a sit down or fast food restaurant, the required parking spaces can be based on the number of seats, employees, or gross floor area. A complete list of parking requirements for uses is provided in Section 14.2224 of the Village Code. The Village Code acknowledges that there are existing properties in the downtown with little or no off -street parking spaces for their property. For this reason, the parking requirements are less stringent in the B5 Central Commercial and the B5C Core Central Commercial District. To allow existing conditions to continue, additional off -street parking is not required at locations within the B5 and B5C Districts where limited or no off -street parking is currently provided. New uses which are similar to those previously in operation at a property are not required to add additional parking. There are parking spaces available to support downtown businesses, such as the Village parking deck. However, when there is new construction or major rehabilitation (50% or more), or a change in use which warrants additional parking, the Village Code requires additional parking to be provided on -site or through off -site parking agreements. Streetscape In 1997, the Village implemented a streetscape program for the downtown district. In 2000, the Village of Mount Prospect adopted the Corridor Design Guidelines to develop a consistent streetscape throughout the Village. Some of the study area in the Northwest Highway Corridor Study area benefitted from the recommendations of the study. As indicated through the planning process, the public would like to see more aesthetic improvements throughout the corridor. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 14 East Northwest Highway was identified as a "gateway' opportunity in the Corridor Design Guidelines. At Mount Prospect Road, there is a "Welcome to Mount Prospect" Gateway sign and landscaping. The sign is located on the south side of Northwest Highway adjacent to the railroad tracks. The Village has worked very closely with the Union Pacific to improve the appearance of the area and, as a result, has placed more landscaping along the railroad easement. The future recommendations from the Corridor Design Guidelines are to continue urban forestry efforts, enforce regulatory controls (i.e. setbacks, screening), and to strengthen edges with walls, fences, trees, lights, signs, and/or buildings. Depending on the capital improvements budget, all of East Northwest Highway will eventually have streetscape improvements performed from downtown to Mount Prospect Road. The Corridor Design Guidelines specifically identified downtown Mount Prospect as an area to show the distinction of the district and to improve accessibility to the train station. The streetscape in Downtown Mount Prospect has been implemented by installing decorative brick paver sidewalks, landscape areas, banners, gateway signs, and improved street and pedestrian lighting. The improvements have been implemented on Prospect Avenue and Northwest Highway. The streetscape is consistent throughout the downtown section of the corridor study. The western boundary of the Village currently has a gateway sign; however, there is an opportunity for a more prominent gateway sign. The landscaping along the railroad easement continues along the corridor and frames the street. The Corridor Design Guidelines recommend taking advantage of gateway signage, enforcing regulatory controls and continuing urban forestry efforts. The Village of Mount Prospect does not have plans to continue the streetscape design of brick sidewalk and planter boxes west of Fairview Avenue because the land uses in this area are not consistent when compared with the downtown and east corridor areas. The area west of Fairview Avenue currently has a considerable amount of landscaping behind the residential properties that adds to the aesthetic appeal of the corridor and screens uses from Northwest Highway. Pedestrian & Bicycle considerations Generally, the downtown area is pedestrian friendly because of streetscape improvements, wide walkways, curbed streets, and push buttons at signalized intersections to cross the streets. Further away from downtown, the area begins to lose some of the pedestrian friendly elements. Sidewalks and service walks are showing signs of aging and some of the sidewalks are narrow and close to the street. Traffic signals do not exist at intersections or pedestrian push buttons have not been installed. The pictures below illustrate some of the areas which could benefit from additional improvements as the streetscape program is implemented. Page 15 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) updated their regional bike plan in 2010 and identified Northwest Highway as a regional bike corridor. Bicyclists identified the corridor as a direct route from the city to the suburbs; however, improvements to the corridor should be made to allow for safer travel. One suggestion is to utilize the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way to enlarge the area where bicyclists ride. Signs Signage within the Northwest Highway corridor is either public or private. Public signs are located within the public right -of -way and identify the Village of Mount Prospect, streets or a bus stop. Village public signs within the Northwest Corridor are generally freestanding and act as gateway signs for the Village. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 16 North side of Northwest Highway between George and Albert St. Northeast Corner of William St. and Northwest Hwy. Private signs are located on private property and identify a business. The majority of private signs are wall signs that are either attached to the building facade or to an architectural building component, such as an awning. In some cases, a business on a large lot and building setbacks has a freestanding sign. Since most of the buildings within the corridor have little to no setback between the building and property line, it is uncommon for a business to have a freestanding sign. However, a few do exist within the corridor. Recognizing the unique characteristic of the corridor, the Village has implemented a Special Area of Control for signs within the Central Business District. A majority of the properties within the Northwest Highway Corridor Study Area fall within the Village of Mount Prospect's Special Area of Control for signs. The map below illustrates the properties designated as "Special Area of Control ". The Special Area of Control is defined by the Village Sign Code as an area in which special sign standards are applicable. Areas of special control permit projecting signs and awnings /canopy signs that extend over the public right -of -way by four to five feet or within two feet of the curb line, whichever is less. This is a special provision that allows businesses along Northwest Highway to have wall signage that is better viewed from the sidewalk and the street based on the orientation of the buildings on the lot. Projecting signs and awnings /canopy signs that extend over the Northwest Highway public right -of -way will be subject to compliance with applicable regulations from IDOT because the right -of -way is under IDOT's jurisdiction. Page 17 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan ISSUE IDENTIFICATION & RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Through the public input process, residents and businesses identified key issues that currently exist in the study area. The following is a summary of the issues and recommendations, broken down into categories, identified by Village staff members and the public. Visibility /Public Awareness Businesses and residents reported a lack of public awareness about businesses located on Emerson Street, Busse Avenue, and Prospect Avenue. Automobile and pedestrian traffic may only see the businesses that front the corridor and not the businesses located off of Northwest Highway. In addition to the lack of Northwest Highway street frontage, canopies of mature trees were also mentioned as contributing to the poor visibility. Some trees along Prospect Avenue, in particular, were mentioned as blocking business signage. Lack of public awareness of public transportation and public parking was also expressed. Most people who participated in the meetings and interviews were unaware of existing Pace bus routes along the corridor and throughout the Village. Additionally, residents were not aware of the public parking facilities, including free parking spaces, available for people shopping and dining in downtown Mount Prospect. Visitors to downtown Mount Prospect stated that street parking can be difficult or unavailable. Proposed Actions: 1. Way - finding signage program: The Village received several comments about the lack of visibility or awareness about local shopping areas on Prospect Avenue, Emerson Street, and Busse Avenue. A way finding sign system would help to notify visitors and residents about these areas. The system would have a directory at a public, high traffic location such as the Library or train station. This directory would highlight the areas for shopping, public parking lots, and local destinations. As a complement, signs throughout the downtown area would direct people to businesses, parking and shopping areas. 2. Off premise tenant signs: Off premise signs are not permitted by the sign code; however, the public stated that an off- premise tenant board would benefit businesses located off of Northwest Highway. Staff will review this option to understand the impact of the request, but the way finding sign program may accomplish the same goal of notifying the public that there are more businesses throughout downtown 3. Temporary Signs: Businesses indicated that they would like to have more opportunities for temporary signs on their building, but the Village's temporary sign regulations are too strict. Staff will review the regulations and research other communities' sign regulations to evaluate options that may increase local business visibility. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 18 4. Newsletter. The Village will investigate the option of promoting areas of the Village through the Village Newsletter, such as focusing on Prospect Avenue or sections of the corridor study area 5. Wall Signs: Businesses may not be aware of sign options permissible within the Village Sign Code. Staff will continue to work with business owners to explore permissible sign options. The Village should also continue its parkway tree maintenance program to ensure that adequate visibility to business locations is maintained as landscaping matures. Land Uses The public stated they would like a wider variety of commercial uses than what currently exists within the corridor. Specifically, the public expressed their desire for a grocery store, retail and entertainment uses. Entertainment uses that are kid/ family friendly are currently lacking and could generate downtown activity and revenue. The public stated that these uses would complement existing businesses and bring more people into downtown Mount Prospect. Retailers outside of the downtown district would like to see more traffic generating uses. One retailer indicated that beauty salons create synergy because people will shop in the local retail stores before or after their salon appointment. The businesses would also like to see more consignment stores, specifically those that re -sell clothing and household goods. A year - round farmers market would also be a destination in Mount Prospect. Proposed Actions: 1. Residents and businesses would like to see a wider range of land uses in the study area because they believe that more people would patronize Mount Prospect stores if there were more reasons to visit the study area. The Village will continue to work with brokers and local entrepreneurs to establish desired uses in the corridor. Some of the desired uses include consignment stores, year round farmers market, grocery store, restaurants, retail, entertainment uses, and family friendly uses. 1. Residents indicated a positive attribute of Mount Prospect was having "something for everyone" with respect to housing, commercial, retail, and restaurant options. The Village should continue to attract a range of housing and commercial uses to the corridor. 1. The public was pleased with the open public areas, such as the Village Green outside of Village Hall, and are supportive of more open space opportunities, both public and private. Page 19 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Aesthetics & Occupancy The public identified a lack of visual interest in some areas of the corridor as an issue. Building and site conditions could be improved to make the corridor more aesthetically pleasing. For example, some areas of the corridor have not been improved with streetscape. Suggested improvements include installing streetscape and making improvements consistent throughout the corridor. Vacant storefronts and lots are other contributing factors to the lack of visual interest. The corridor lacks a continuous storefront in some areas due to vacant spaces, vacant lots, or parking lots. The public mentioned an art incubation program where a store front is utilized by emerging artists as one idea to address vacant storefronts. An incubation program is a tool to cultivate small businesses through business support resources and services. Examples of support services include marketing assistance, help with financial and accounting management, access to loans and financing, networking activities, and links to strategic partners. In Mount Prospect's case, the art sector would receive assistance in business start- up and administration through a program where an organization shares the risk and responsibilities of opening a business. The age and appearance of the buildings is another concern of the public. The Village has a retail grant program in the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, which is limited to downtown Mount Prospect, north of the railroad tracks. The program provides assistance to sales tax generating businesses to upgrade their appearance or ease the financial burden of renovating a space. The vacant storefronts in the study area are not unique to Mount Prospect. Other towns have adopted a "vacant storefront decorative code" to help manage the appearance of vacant storefronts. This code requires merchandise and colorful displays in the windows of the vacant storefronts. While Mount Prospect is not considering formally adopting such a code, the vacant storefronts could be an opportunity for landlords to improve the appearance of their investments and for other businesses in town wishing to advertise in an off -site location. Proposed Actions: 1. Streetscape improvements have not been made in some areas of the corridor and are not planned for areas west of Fairview Avenue. The areas in need of streetscape improvements will be identified and an expected time table for completion will be publicized. 2. The Village will continue to maintain areas of the right -of -way that have been improved with streetscape or landscaping. The Village will continue to work with Union Pacific Railroad on landscaping and maintenance of their railroad property. 4. The existing fagade program is funded with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funding and is only available to businesses located within the TIF boundaries. The Village and business organizations will research developing a fagade improvement Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 20 program and potential funding sources to improve the aesthetic appearance of buildings located outside of the TIF district. 5. The east and downtown segments of the corridor have similar development trends, which creates a consistent streetscape. To ensure continuity of the storefronts, staff will work with developers to encourage infill development without front yard setbacks and with parking behind the buildings to provide a continuous row of storefronts. 6. The Village will work with local organizations to identify an interested party to explore an incubator program for new businesses or artists using vacant storefronts. 7. The Village and business organizations will explore the possibility of working with property owners to encourage them to decorate vacant storefronts or use them to advertise or market the downtown area. Building Conditions /Utilities The public stated that some of the buildings in the study area need to be updated. Most of these comments were directed at the visual appearance of the buildings, but Village Staff Members addressed the functionality of the buildings. Many of the buildings were built over 50 years ago and may not have the capacity or functionality of newer or updated buildings. The financial burden for upgrading the buildings is another issue identified due to aging infrastructure and new system demands. The buildings located along Prospect Avenue may require upgrading the water service from the building to the water main. Potential tenants and small business owners may find this issue to be an obstacle to opening a business in Mount Prospect. Proposed Actions: 1. An obstacle for new businesses moving into some of the older properties is the substandard water service. The improvement is an investment in the building so it should be a responsibility of the property owner. The Village will work with property owners of older buildings, such as those on Prospect Avenue, to proactively upgrade the water service to help attract new tenants. 1. In the cases where the water service upgrades have not been made to the building, the Village will work with prospective businesses to understand the costs of retrofitting older buildings. Property maintenance must be consistent throughout the corridor including for the vacant storefronts and lots. The Village will continue property maintenance enforcement of abandoned buildings and properties. Page 21 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Traffic The availability of the train was identified as a positive part of Mount Prospect, not only for today's businesses, but in the establishment of the Village. However, the multi-modal transportation near the train station does create negative externalities for the study area. The public identified several traffic and transportation related issues. During peak commuting hours, traffic congestion near the train station creates back -ups and jams. As traffic travels further out to either end of Northwest Highway, traffic moves very quickly and is perceived as dangerous. Parking issues were identified by the public who would like to have more parking on street level, outside of restaurants or businesses in the study area. Proposed Actions: 1. The Village will work with Pace to market their bus routes and services and advertise bus stop locations. The Village will publicize the conclusions from previous Route 83 and Northwest Highway intersection studies to help the public understand the issues and how the Village has implemented options available to improve circulation. 3. The downtown area has a variety of commercial uses with different hours of operation. The Village should encourage shared parking agreements between private parking lot owners to open their parking lots to the public after business hours (5 P.M. to 10 p.m.). 4. The Village will work with IDOT regarding signal coordination on Northwest Highway, Central and Route 83. Circulation The public stated that the study area and Village are divided by the railroad tracks, Northwest Highway, and Elmhurst Road/ Main Street/ Route 83. Neighborhoods are disconnected from each other and other areas of town. Proposed Actions: 1. Resident indicated that Northwest Highway and the railroad tracks divide the Village and disconnects neighborhoods. The Village will explore grant funding for a proposed bridge at west end of corridor and /or will investigate the feasibility of an underpass or bridge in downtown Mount Prospect to improve non - motorized connectivity in these areas. 1. Access within downtown can be challenging for pedestrians because of several high traffic areas. The Village will work to enhance the pedestrian environment in downtown with countdown pedestrian signals, areas of refuge, or other improvements to increase crossing safety. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 22 Infrastructure At the public meeting, residents mentioned drainage problems along the west side of Northwest Highway. Additionally, the public stated there are potholes in the corridor study area streets and sidewalk deterioration. Proposed Actions: 1. Northwest Highway is under the jurisdiction of IDOT, which means any large scale improvements will have to be initiated by IDOT. However, the Village will proactively work with IDOT on long - range improvement plans for Northwest Highway that will affect the road condition and drainage. 2. The Village will work with IDOT to address maintenance issues through a maintenance schedule. The following map illustrates some of the issues identified above.

Page 23 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan VISION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES The visions, goals, and objectives of this study outline the basic purpose and intent of the Northwest Highway Corridor Study. They have been prepared based on community input acquired in the planning process. Vision: Enhance the economic viability of the Northwest Highway Corridor by making it more attractive and accessible place for conducting business and living. The Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan categorizes recommendations based on land use. To maintain consistency throughout the Village's planning documents, the recommendations in the Northwest Highway Corridor Study are also grouped according to land use. However, the categories differ slightly based on the areas the public identified as issues. The following section presents the goals and objectives broken down into the following elements of the study: • Economic Development • Transportation • Infrastructure • Housing and Community Facilities A. Economic Development Goal: To create a viable commercial Northwest Highway Corridor with a mix of desired uses and services. Objectives: 1. Maintain Village services and facilities which assure the long- term economic strength of the corridor. 2. Maintain current businesses and attract new commercial businesses, such as a kid - friendly uses and a grocery store, to the corridor. 3. Educate the public about the condition of older buildings and compliance with municipal code requirements. 4. Ensure that the appearance of all buildings, grounds, and parking areas within the corridor is maintained. 5. Maintain a progressive business climate with an understandable development process. 6. Design and implement strategies for attracting commercial opportunities to Mount Prospect in order to further strengthen and expand the Village's tax and economic base. 7.

Page 25 Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan D. Housing & Community Facilities Goal: To provide housing and amenities that supports the population and enhances the quality of life within the corridor. Objectives: 1. Ensure that adequate open space is set aside as a part of new residential developments. 2. Encourage the linking of greenways, parks, and recreational facilities in neighborhoods, Village wide and regional levels. 3. Promote the improvement and rehabilitation of deteriorating residential properties. 4. Encourage "infill" residential development which will provide a range of housing types, while maintaining appropriate density and character with surrounding existing development. Village of Mount Prospect - Northwest Highway Corridor Plan Page 26 IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM The Implementation Program is the section of the corridor study that ties the issues, recommendations, goals and objectives together. The following charts include the recommended strategy, related objective, type of strategy, timeframe, and responsible party. The type of strategy refers to the following: Action Can be acted upon to produce a result Study Additional study to determine best course of action Coordination Requires ongoing coordination with other parties outside Village Staff Related objective indicates with goal and objective relate to the strategy. The letter refers to the goal and the number refers to the objective within that goal.

Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR IRVANA WILKS BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: MICHAEL E. JANONIS DATE: JUNE 2, 2011 RE: EXTENTION OF MELAS PARK LEASE In 1975 the Village of Mount Prospect along with the Village Arlington Heights, first entered into a series of agreements with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) for development of storm water detention facilities at property commonly known as Melas Park, located at the intersection of Central and Busse roads. This 70 acre site contains, among other things, a substantial storm water detention basin and associated pumping structures which serve the Villages of Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights. Under the original agreements the Villages, as beneficiaries of the storm water detention facility, assumed certain maintenance responsibilities for the basin and pumping structures. Since the inception of this relationship with the MWRDGC there have never been problems with regard to maintenance responsibilities and both Villages have benefited greatly from the storm water detention facility. In 1981 the Village entered into a long term lease agreement to provide for recreational activities on the site. The acreage is divided roughly evenly between the Mount Prospect Park District and the Arlington Heights Park District, as sublessees to the Village. Each park district has invested substantial sums to create recreational facilities including ball diamonds, soccer and football fields, jogging paths and play areas all of which see substantial use on a seasonal basis. The initial term of this lease was 10 years. The lease was subsequently amended in 1989 and provided for a set number of community events to be held at the site, the most visible being the annual Lion's Club 4 of July Carnival. A number of other Community Events events have been hosted over the course of the lease. This amendment also extended the term of the lease until May 31, 2011. The lease agreement was amended a second time in 1996 to facilitate construction of a parking lot adjacent to the Mount Prospect District facility (former "Pop Shop ") at 1326 West Central. With the current lease set to expire on May 31, 2011 staff recently entered into discussions with MWRDGC staff regarding the possibility of reserving some property at the north end of the Park for a salt storage facility. Unfortunately, the lease term was set to expire before that issue could be finalized. On May 19, 2011 the MWRDGC approved a one month extension to June 9, 2011 (Third Amendment) while negotiations continued. Because the Village was not scheduled to meet until June 7, in consultation with the Village Attorney the Mayor executed the one month extension with the provision of that her action would be ratified at the June 7 Village Board meeting. On June 2, 2011 the MWRDGC approved a one year extension (Fourth Amendment) of the lease so that discussions could continue in an unhurried manner. Staff anticipates a new lease will be satisfactorily negotiated within the next several months and will include provision for the salt storage facility as well as a multiyear lease term. Staff is requesting passage of the attached resolution which 1.) Ratifies the Mayor's signature on the Third Amendment and 2.) Authorizes execution of the 4 Amendment which provides for the one year extension. Note: The 4 Amendment is currently being drafted by MWRDGC staff and, if available, will be distributed at the June 7 meeting. MICHAEL E.

WILKS DATE: MAY 26, 2011 SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF O’HARE NOISE COMPATIBILITY COMMISSION (ONCC) INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT The O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) was founded in 1996 to reduce aircraft noise in the communities around O’Hare International Airport. Since its inception membership has been limited to suburban areas surrounding O’Hare; current membership includes 28 municipalities, Cook County and 16 school districts that represent 45 communities. It was believed that limiting the City of Chicago to administrative functions would ensure fair and equal distribution of the sound insulation program funds to qualifying suburban as well as Chicago homes and schools. Over the last few years, in conjunction with the O’Hare runway expansion there has been an increase in the number of Chicago residents, impacted by the aircraft noise, attending the ONCC meetings. Accordingly, these homeowners are asking for representation on the ONCC. The Chicago City Council has approved a revised Intergovernmental Agreement that will allow participation by five (5) Alderman with wards impacted by aircraft using O’Hare on the ONCC. The representatives will be appointed by the Mayor of Chicago. The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) has been reviewed by the ONCC Executive Board and ONCC members. Each of ONCC’s 45 members is being asked to approve the revised IGA. The addition of the five (5) representatives from the City of Chicago wards will not impact the Village of Mount Prospect’s representation on the Commission. This item will be presented at the June 7, 2011 Village Board meeting for your consideration. IRVANA K. WILKS Mayor RESOLUTION NO.
