Chairman Rogers explained that the June 23, 2011 Planning & Zoning Meeting was continued to the July 28, 2011 meeting because Village Hall lost power due to a confirmed tornado that struck the Village. Chairman Rogers expressed his appreciation and gratitude towards the public servants of the community for their efforts with cleaning up the Village after the storm. After hearing two (2) previous cases, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ- 15 -11, 1500 W. Central Road, at 8:28 p.m. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner is requesting Conditional Use approval for a lighted driving range and football/soccer fields, and Variations to decrease the building setbacks and increase the height of light standards. Ms. Andrade said the Subject Property is located on the north side of Central Road, between Busse Road and Kenilworth Avenue, and contains a park with related improvements. The specific project area is located on the east half of the park, and contains a detention basin and football and soccer fields. The Subject Property is zoned CR Conservation Recreation and is bordered by the RA Single Family Residential district to the east, 11 Limited Industrial to the west, CR Conservation Recreation and R1 Single Family Residential to the south, and industrial uses in Arlington Heights to the north. The Subject Property is owned by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page I of 9 District (MWRD), but is leased to the Village of Mount Prospect, who subsequently leases the land to the Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights Park Districts. Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner proposed to construct a driving range over the existing detention pond and install light standards on the existing football/soccer fields and the new driving range. The overall recreational plan for McIas Park, as approved by the Village of Mount Prospect, Mount Prospect Park District, and the Arlington Heights Park District on April 16, 1991, allowed for the lighted athletic fields and a golf .driving range. The Village Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for the proposed light standards. Ms. Andrade said the Petitioner's site plan indicated the driving range would include six (6) target greens and a new control building located along the west property line. The building would be setback four (4) feet from the west property line, when Village Code requires a fifteen (15) foot building setback. The Petitioner was seeking a Variation to allow a four (4) foot setback along the west property line. Ms. Andrade stated per the Petitioner's application, the control building would distribute golf balls and club rentals. In addition, the building would be used for storage of equipment and supplies necessary to maintain the driving range. Ms. Andrade said six (6) light standards would be located to light the existing football/soccer fields and six (6) light standards would be located around the driving range. The light standards would measure seventy (70) feet tall, which exceed the Village Code's maximum thirty (30) foot height limitation. The Petitioner was "seeking a Variation to increase the height of the light standards from thirty (30) feet to seventy (70) feet. Per the Petitioner, the light standards would be turned off no later than 10:30 p.m. The Petitioner noted that the lights would be programmed to turn on and off via remote control. Ms. Andrade showed a slide that represented a recreational facility with light standards and illustrated the extent of how much light would spill out. She referenced a picture that illustrated the light standards would have minimal illumination in the opposite direction from the where the lights would be directed. Ms. Andrade showed images that illustrated the front and side views of the proposed light standards. The light standards would include poles with four (4), five (5), and six (6) luminaries and would comply with the Village Code requirement of full cutoff design. 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. These findings include: 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 Petitioner's information demonstrated that lighted athletic fields and a golf driving range have been part of the master plans for Melas Park as referenced in the overall recreational plan that was approved by the Village of Mount Prospect, Mount Prospect Park District, and the Arlington Heights Park District in 1991. The proposed lighting has been designed to be full cutoff and would be directed away from the residential properties as much as possible. The proposed lighted football/soccer fields and driving range would be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 2 of 9 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. The summary of these findings 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 the Petitioner was seeking a Variation to allow seventy (70) foot light standards and a four (4) foot building setback to the west property line. The additional height would allow the Petitioner to install fewer lights poles, thus minimizing the impact on the adjacent properties. The light standards would be keeping with the character of the park's existing facilities as there are lighted soccer fields with sixty (60) foot light standards. The Village approved a Variation allowing sixty (60) foot light standards in 2003. Ms. Andrade stated based on the findings, Staff recommended that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the motions listed in the Staff Report. Mr. Foggy asked what would happen with the existing path. Ms. Andrade stated that the existing path would be preserved around the driving range with no protection. Mr. Youngquist questioned if there was a fence proposed. Ms. Andrade answered the proposal did not include a fence along the east property line or path. She stated that the Petitioner could answer the Commissioners' questions in further detail. Mr. Beattie asked what the length was of the light standards for the Arlington Heights ball fields. Ms. Andrade said the Village Board previously approved sixty (60) foot light poles. The proposal for the Subject Case was for seventy (70) foot light poles for both the soccer /football fields and the driving range. Chairman Rogers swore in Lou Ennesser, Director of Parks and Planning for the Mount Prospect Park District. Mr. Ennesser discussed the ownership of Melas Park. The original lease was drafted in 1981 and it identified the park for recreational purposes. Mr. Ennesser stated in the 1980s, the Village of Mount Prospect along with both Park Districts drafted a Master Plan for Melas Park that called for lit ball fields, playgrounds, parking lots, recreational paths, and a driving range. The Master Plan was an exhibit included when the Melas Park lease was extended in 1991. Mr. Ennesser said that the Park District is now in the financial position to add the lights and driving range according the Master Plan. He discussed the history and development of the park and where it stands today. Mr. Ennesser said there are a total of five (5) premium soccer /football fields that serve all age groups at Melas Park. There are two (2) regulation sized fields, one (1) intermediate field, and two (2) smaller fields. Mr. Ennesser stated that the driving range would be built within the detention basin on the northeast corner of the site. The driving range would consist of approximately thirty (30) driving tees with a training area. The golfers would be driving from west to east at target areas throughout the range. It is approximately 300 yards from the tees to the recreational path; the path would not be modified at all. Mr. Ennesser stated that he believed netting would be needed; but a decision has not been made due to the consultant reviewing MWRD's requirements on the site for netting. The drawings that were submitted to the Village were preliminary; nothing has been finalized for the project. Mr. Ennesser discussed the Variation request to the side yard for the control building. He stated that the control building would run along the line that separates the two (2) park districts, but that line is not the property line. He said there is no effect on either side of the line as it is park districts on both sides. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 3 of 9 Mr. Ennesser stated the Park District has proposed to illuminate the two (2) larger fields along with the driving range. The soccer/football fields would have seventy (70) foot light standards on six (6) poles. He said the seventy (70) foot height was chosen because it is the optimum height for light on the fields only. If the lights were lower than seventy (70) feet, then the lights would need to be angled and this would create a glare and spillage from the lights. Mr. Ennesser said anything higher than seventy (70) feet would be a waste. At the driving range, there would be two sixty (60) foot light standards at the tee and then four (4) seventy (70) foot light standards along the range. Mr. Ennesser said that Arlington Heights has sixteen (16) light standards on their side of Melas Park. Mr. Ennesser stated that football would be played in the fall while soccer ,would be played in the spring. The driving range would most likely follow the golf course hours opening in mid -March to April and closing in late November. Mr. Ennesser discussed the hours of operation. The games would be scheduled to end by 9:45 p.m.; this would allow any tied games to finish up by 10:00 p.m. when the eastern facing lights would shut off. The remaining lights would be turned off at 10:30 p.m. after the Park District attendant has secured and closed the site. The driving range would follow the same schedule as the athletic fields. Mr. Beattie asked who would be playing soccer and football until 10.00 p.m. Chairman Rogers swore in Walt Cook from the Mount Prospect Park District, 1000 W. Central Road, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Cook said the Mount Prospect Recreation League, Green and White Soccer, and Mount Prospect Football would be utilizing the fields. Mr. Foggy confirmed that the fields would only be used by the clubs and activities mentioned. Chairman Rogers swore in Gary Gilmer, 106 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Gilmer stated that his residence backs up to the athletic fields and his property is located approximately fifty (50) yards from one of the proposed light standards. He understood the Park District's request for the lights, but could not support it due to the impact that it would have on the adjacent neighborhood, the impact on the quality of life, and financial impact on the property values. Mr. Gilmer said the seventy (70) foot light standards would be an eyesore and would alter the character of the neighborhood. He stated the lights would bring in additional traffic, noise, and parking issues to the neighborhood. Mr. Gilmer said that these issues already exist during game days. Mr. Gilmer discussed and highlighted the financial impact that the proposed lights would have on his property and its value. He provided the Planning and Zoning Commission a handout that explained his numbers: the purchase price of his home, the current market value, and the potential decrease due to the lights. Mr. Gilmer referenced an economic impact study of lighting a football field in Arlington, Virginia. Mr. Gilmer believed that the Park District did not provide sufficient information on how the lights would impact the adjacent neighborhood. Chairman Rogers confirmed with Mr. Gilmer that patrons of the park were currently cutting through the properties on the west side of Kenilworth. Mr. Roberts said that living near a park may actually add value to a property. He believed that the Park District should provide evidence how the park impacts the adjacent neighborhood. Mr. Roberts stated that Mr. Gilmer would need to offset any deduction the proposed lights may have on the neighboring properties with the addition in value that park may offer. There was general discussion on the current hours of operation for both sides of Melas Park. Mr. Floros asked Mr. Gilmer if he appeared before the Park District Board. Mr. Gilmer said he has not, the first time he found out about this case was when he received the legal notice and attended the informational meeting Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 4 of 9 with the Park District. Mr. Gilmer stated that the zoning rules arc. the only thing that protects him from the Park District. There was general discussion regarding the zoning rules and the proposed light standards. Mr. Simmons stated a Conditional Use would be required to light any athletic field. The maximum height permitted would be thirty . (30) feet by Village Code. Mr. Simmons stated there are two (2) Variation requests before the Commission. The first was for the proposed height of the light standards of seventy (70) feet and the second is for a building setback related to the driving range control building. Mr. Donnelly confirmed that the Park District could light the path (within levels allowed by Code) around the park without zoning approval. Chairman Rogers said that the Planning and Zoning Commission did receive letters from residents stating that they did not want the lights. Mr. Gilmer stated that twenty -five (25) of twenty -seven (27) residents on North Kenilworth did submit a letter of opposition to the Commission; two (2) neighbors said they did not have enough information. Mr. Beattie asked if there was any discussion amongst the neighbors to request the proposed lights be turned off earlier in the evening. Mr. Gilmer stated that he could not speak for his neighbors, but an earlier time off may change things slightly. Mr. Gilmer reiterated the financial impact the lights could have. There was general discussion regarding the items that were up for zoning approval. It was confirmed by Staff that the proposed case was to Iight the existing fields and the new driving range, the height of the light standards, and the setbacks for the control building at the range. Even though the driving range does not currently exist, it is a permitted use for the Subject Property. There was further discussion regarding the setback for the proposed control building. Chairman Rogers wanted to clarify an earlier point and stated that letters have also been received in support of the driving range and light standards. Mr. Beattie wanted to clarify that many of the letters that were received in opposition of the Subject Case were against the use of the driving range, not for the proposed lights at Melas Park. The driving range is a permitted use and not under the Planning & Zoning Commission's jurisdiction. Mr. Ennesser confirmed that Melas Park closes at 11:00 p.m.; as do all of the Park District's other community parks. He discussed that if the lights were approved, it may alleviate the parking issues since so many events would not be scheduled on Saturday and Sundays only. Mr. Ennesser stated that the Village is working with MWRD on possibly constructing a salt dome at Melas Park; there has been discussion about extending the main road with parking on both sides to the proposed salt dome. Mn Ennesser believed that Mr. Gilmer's numbers on property values were unsubstantiated. He said that he has spoken to realtors who stated that living next to a park is a wash on property values. Mr. Ennesser stated that the proposed lights have been in discussion since 1991 and the Park District is doing the best it can to minimize any adverse affect on the adjacent property owners. He said that the Park District has already made some compromises to the proposed lights by turning them off earlier than what they originally proposed. There was discussion regarding the petition that was submitted in support of the project. Mr. Ennesser confirmed that the petition was in support of the lights at Melas Park and the proposed driving range; it was not exclusive to the driving range only. Mr. Ennesser stated that technology has evolved in regards to light standards and the proposed lights would be even more efficient that those constructed on the Arlington Heights side of Melas Park in 2003. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 5 of 9 Chairman Rogers asked the Petitioner if the Park District could help alleviate the parking of patrons along Kenilworth and cutting to -the park. Mr. Ennesser stated that the Park District could encourage patrons not to park in the adjacent neighborhood, but believed it would be up to the Village for enforcement. Mr. Beattie asked if the Park District considered turning off the lights earlier than 10:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. There was general discussion regarding turning off the proposed lights at different times. Mr. Ennesser said that the Park District would need to meet internally to discuss a potential earlier time to turn off the proposed lights. Mr. Donnelly asked if the Park District's lease has been extended. Mr. Ennesser stated that the salt dome discussion changed the character of the lease. MWRD needed more time to research the salt dome, so the lease has been extended on the Subject Property for just one (l) year. Mr. Donnelly asked what entity would be using the salt dome. Mr. Ennesser said that the Village of Mount Prospect, Village of Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect Park District and Arlington Heights Park District would all share the salt dome. Mr. Floros confirmed with the Petitioner that the Park District lights the fields at Meadows Park-and other facilities in Mount Prospect and Des Plaines. Mr. Ennesser stated that the Park District has been a good neighbor and rarely received any complaints about lights at its other parks. Mr. Gilmer reaffirmed his position that the Park District has not provided any fact based evidence in regards to their zoning requests. Chairman Rogers swore in Tom Diltz, 120 N. Kenilworth. Mr. Diltz discussed how he bought his home because of the park. He stated that the Park District proposed to install a driving range with lights approximately fifteen (15) years ago and it failed. Mr. Diltz said that he sees the lights at the Arlington Heights Park District's fields and was in opposition for lighting the football /soccer fields near his home. He stated that he would be in support if the Park District was interested in lighting the recreational path. Chairman Rogers swore in Robert Blaisdell, 104 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Blaisdell stated that the adjacent neighborhood does receive a lot of traffic for the park, but his major concern was with the additional noise that would be added into the evening. He said proposed lights would affect the overall neighborhood character. Mr. Blaisdell believed the request for doubling the height Variance was drastic. Mr. Beattie asked Mr. Blaisdell if his concern was the lights in general or the height of the lights. Mr. Blaisdell stated that he was against the entire proposal, but could comae to more of an agreement if the lights were turned off earlier. Chairman Rogers swore in Jim Solazzo, 10 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Solazzo stated that by having football/soccer games in the evening would not alleviate parking due to evening events at the Arlington Height Park District's fields. He said a golf range was not needed at the Subject Property. Chairman Rogers swore in Steve Burger, 116 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Burger said that Melas Park is no longer a park; it is now classified by the Park District as an athletic complex. He stated that since the Park District made improvements on the athletic fields, he believed there were less games being played and more games could be scheduled during the daytime hours. Mr. Burger stated his overall objection to the lights because it would affect the adjacent neighborhood. Chairman Rogers swore in Lynn Berry, 209 E. Hiawatha, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Berry said she is an avid golfer and believed there are several other driving ranges and golf courses in the area. She discussed how the community has changed and evolved over several years. Ms. Berry believed it would be in the best interest of the Park District to review and update its Master Plan to 2011 before having the Village Board vote on the proposed zoning items. Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 PIanning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 6 of 9 Chairman Rogers swore in Nancy Daly, 121 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Daly said her concerns were with cars being parked on Kenilworth in the evening by those who are utilizing the football /soccer fields at Melas Park. She objected to the lights and believed the additional traffic in the evening would create a safety hazard on Kenilworth. Chairman Rogers swore in Michaele Skowron, 1404 W. Busse Ave., Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Skowron stated she understood the Park District's request to utilize Melas Park to its full capabilities. She said more activity at the park creates more noise to spill over into the adjacent neighborhoods. Ms. Skowron stated she understood that light would not glare or spill into the residential yards; she said neighbors would still see the light projected on the proposed fields. Ms. Skowron said the Planning and Zoning Commission could create a condition on when the lights could be turned off by. She stated that when the Arlington Heights Park District went before the Zoning Board for its lighted ball fields, their argument was that their lights were next to commercial properties, not residential. Chairman Rogers swore in Nancy Weinand, 118 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms.. Weinand stated that the proposed lights would change the character of the neighborhood. She said that residents of Mount Prospect could not use a majority of the park since it is fenced in and locked. Ms. Weinand discussed the enforcement of parking during the Fourth of July. She also questioned why the Park District did not discuss the costs of the proposed project and thought the Park District proposed earlier hours for the lights. Chairman Rogers swore in Monica Cantu, 218 N. Russel St., Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Cantu stated that she was involved with the youth travel soccer program and discussed the need for the proposed lights. She said the Park District's facilities .were limited and she was concerned if the lights were not approved, many of the programs could be eliminated. Chairman Rogers swore in Jack Smorczewski, 15 N. Kenilworth, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Smorczewski questioned the zoning process. Chairman Rogers explained that the public hearing was the first step in the process. The Petitioner would need to come back before the Village Board for a final vote on the zoning requests. Chairman Rogers swore in Peter Konar, 2008 Scott Terrace, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Konar stated that he coached the Mount Prospect soccer league and Green and White. He stated that the proposed lights would allow more time for instruction with the kids, especially during the fall hours. He said most of the games are scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays. Chairman Rogers confirmed with Mr. Konar that he is in favor of the lights. Chairman Rogers swore in Rick Kaempfer, 303 N. Ehnhurst Ave, Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr. Kaempfer stated he was also involved with the youth soccer programs and believed there were hardships on the teams due to the lack of facilities and loss of daylight in the fall. He stated there were many kids in the leagues and that there are constant scheduling conflicts. He understood and believed the adjacent neighbors had concerns, but he said there are concerns from the other side as well. Chairman Rogers swore in Sonja Nilsen, 20 S. Elm St., Mount Prospect, Illinois. Ms. Nilsen said she was in support of the proposed lights. She stated that with school starting in the fall and the loss of sunlight, it was hard to find time for teams to practice. She stated it was kind of a waste just to use the park between school hours and dusk. She stated that the lights would allow for more use of the park and would be beneficial for the kids. She believed the Park District was doing everything it could to reduce the impact on the adjacent neighbors. Ms. Weinand stated that she was told by the Park District that the football /soccer fields would be only used for games. She wasn't sure that the fields would be able to be used for practices. Mr. Cook said the Park District was deficient in the amount of acreage that it should have in order to adequately serve the community population. He stated the plans for the driving range were only preliminary because they cannot build a range without receiving approval for lights. Mr. Cook said the Park District was trying to be a Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 7 of 9 good neighbor, but there is a demand of activities for 1,500 to 1,700 children. He stated there needs to be a balance between the Park District and the adjacent neighbors. Mr. Beattie was concerned that there would be adult leagues renting the football/soccer fields and utilizing those facilities during the later hours, not the kids who are involved with the Park District. Mr. -Cook stated -that the Park District needs more areas for practice and the Melas Park fields would be utilized. He said as long as he is with the Park District, adult leagues would not be using the Melas Park fields; they were there for the community. Mr. Donnelly asked if Mr. Cook would agree to conditions being placed on the lights for practices only. Mr. Cook stated that he is.open to do anything for the lighting. Mr. Donnelly believed the major noise was for the games, not for the practices. . There was additional discussion regarding the issue of noise and parking. Mr. Roberts stated that the residents along Kenilworth may want to work with the Village regarding parking restrictions. There was additional discussion regarding the Planning & Zoning Commission's ability to place restrictions on the hours of operation for the proposed Iights- Chairman Rogers said that the Commission does have the rights to place conditions on a Variation. He believed by placing time limits on the proposed lights would make the case less objectionable for the adjacent neighbors. Chairman Rogers swore in Bryan Bolin, Musco Sports Lighting, 1150 Powis Road, West Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Foggy asked Mr. Bolin to discuss the grading of the proposed seventy (70) foot light standards. Mr. Bolin stated that all of the football/soccer light standards are seventy (70) feet tall on level grade. He discussed the need for the seventy (70) foot light standards versus thirty (30) foot light standards. Mr. Bolin said the pole and mounting height does vary on the proposed drivingrange due to the changes in elevation. Chairman Rogers confirmed with Mr. Bolin that there would be zero (0) spillover on the adjacent properties. Mr. Bolin stated the amount of light at the adjacent properties would be 0.19 foot candles when Village Code allows for up to 0.5 foot candles. Mr. Simmons confirmed that the proposed light fixtures based on the photometric plan will meet Village Code Mr. Bolin discussed the differences in lighting the football/soccer fields and the driving range. 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 10:32 p.m. and brought the discussion back to the board. There was general discussion regarding the zoning requests. Mr. Youngquist clarified that that the Ianguage in the motion should include lighted driving range along with lighted football and soccer fields. Mr. Simmons stated the Planning & Zoning Commission could not restrict the use of the fields (practice versus games) as these activities are permitted by right based on the underlying zoning for the property. Chairman Rogers confirmed with Staff that the Commission .could only place a condition on the time that the lights would need to be .turned off by. Mr. Simmons said the Park District already has approval for the land use; the zoning requests were for the proposed lights and their height, along with the setbacks for the control building. There was additional discussion regarding the Planning & Commission's jurisdiction in regards to the zoning requests. Mr. Simmons confirmed that the Village Board's decision was final for the Subject Case. Mr. Donnelly made a motion, seconded by Mr. Foggy to approve a Conditional Use to allow lighted football/soccer fields and a lighted driving range, subject to the following conditions of approval: a. The primary light standards are turned off at 9:00 p.m. b. The secondary light standards are turned off at 9:30 p.m. UPON ROLL CALL: AYES: Beattie, Donnelly, Fioros, Foggy, Youngquist, Rogers NAYS: Roberts Richard Rogers, Chair PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting July 28, 2011 Page 8 of 9 Motion was approved 6 -1.

CENTRAL RD. / CONDITIONAL USE (LIGHTED DRIVING RANGE & FOOTBALL /SOCCER FIELDS) & VARIATIONS (BUILDING SETBACK & 70' LIGHT POLES) A public hearing has been scheduled for the June 23, 2011 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by the Mount Prospect Park District (the "Petitioner ") regarding the property located at 1500 W. Central Road, commonly known as Mclas Park, (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested Conditional Use approval for a lighted driving range and football /soccer fields, and Variations to decrease the building setbacks and increase the height of light standards. The P &Z hearing was properly noticed in the June 8, 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 is located on the north side of Central Road, between Busse Road and Kenilworth Avenue, and contains a park with related improvements. The specific project area is located on the east half of the park, just north of the existing football/soccer fields. The Subject Property is zoned CR Conservation Recreation and is bordered by the RA Single Family Residential district to the east, I1 Limited Industrial to the west, CR Conservation Recreation and R1 Single Family Residential to the south, and industrial uses in Arlington Heights to,the north. The Subject Property is owned by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), but is leased to the Village of Mount Prospect, who subsequently leases the land to the Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights Park Districts. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The Petitioner proposes to construct a driving range over the existing detention pond and install light standards on the existing football /soccer fields and the new driving range. The overall recreational .plan for Melas Park, as approved by the Village of Mount Prospect, Mount Prospect Park District, and the Arlington Heights Park District on April 16, 1991, allows for. the lighted athletic fields and a golf driving range. The Village Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for the proposed lighted driving range and football /soccer fields. PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 23, 2011 GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE Page 3 Setbacks The proposed driving range would be located approximately thirty five (35) feet from the west property line, which would comply with the Zoning Ordinance minimum ten (10) foot interior side yard setback requirement. The Petitioner's site plan indicates the driving range would include six (6) target greens and a new control building located along the west property line. The Petitioner indicates the building would be setback four (4) feet from the west property line, when the Village Code requires a fifteen (15) foot building setback. The Petitioner seeks a Variation to reduce the building setback from fifteen (15) feet to four (4) feet along the west property line. Approximately ten (10) parking spaces would be lost with the construction of the control building. The Petitioner notes in the attached application that the construction of additional parking is being discussed as part of the proposed salt storage facility. As shown, six (6) light standards would be located to light the existing football /soccer fields and six (6) would be located around the driving range. The lights standards would measure seventy (70) feet tall, which exceed the Village Code's maximum thirty (3 0) foot height Iimitation. The Petitioner seeks a Variation to increase the height of the light standards from thirty (30) feet to seventy (70) feet. Per the Petitioner's application, the light standards would be turned on half an hour before dusk or as light conditions require. The lights would be turned off no later than 11:00 p.m. The Petitioner notes that the lights will be programmed to turn on and off via remote control. Lighting Plan — The Petitioner submitted a photometric plan that indicates the proposed illumination levels. As shown, the photometric plan indicates light levels that comply with the Village Code limitations on lighting. The light levels at the east property Iine are shown as .l foot - candles, with complies with the Code's maximum .l foot candles permitted at a property line abutting a residential property. The proposed illumination will also comply with the maximum forty (40) foot- candles average illumination level permitted for outdoor sports lighting. As shown, the average illumination levels would be thirty (30) foot - candles for the football /soccer fields and twenty one (21) foot - candles for the driving range. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION The Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the Subject Property as Open Space. The Petitioner's proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's designation. CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203 Y.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 • Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The Petitioner's information demonstrates that lighted athletic fields and a golf driving range have been part of the master plans for Melas Park as referenced in the overall recreational plan that was approved by the Village of Mount Prospect, Mount Prospect Park District, and the Arlington Heights Park District in 1991. The proposed PZ -15 -11 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting June 23, 2011 Page 4 lighting has been designed to be full cutoff and will be directed away from the residential properties as much as possible. The proposed lighted football /soccer fields and driving range would be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, VARIATION STANDARDS 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: • 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. The Petitioner seeks a Variation to allow seventy (70) foot light standards and a four (4) foot building setback to the west property line. The additional height would allow the Petitioner to install fewer lights poles, thus minimizing the impact on the adjacent properties. The light standards would be keeping with the character of the park's existing facilities as there are Iighted soccer field with sixty (60) foot light standards. The Village approved a Variation allowing sixty (60) foot light standards in 2003. Per the Petitioner's application, the building would be used as the driving range control building. Golf balls and club rental will be distributed to range users at the building. In addition, the building would be used for storage of equipment and supplies necessary to maintain the driving range. The proposed building location was selected because of its proximity to the existing parking lot. The Variation for the taller light standards and building setbacks meet the Variation standards and would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, utility provision or public streets. RECOMMENDATION Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the following motions: "To approve: 1) A Conditional Use to allow lighted football/soccer fields and a driving range; 2) A Variation to increase the height of light standards from thirty (30) feet to seventy (70) feet; 3) A Variation to reduce the building setbacks from fifteen (15) feet to four (4) feet along the west property line. The Village Board's decision is final for the motions above. i concur: William J. ooney, AICP, Director of Community Development & H:WLAMplan dng & Zoning C13MMp&22o111S1aff RCpmt.\PZ -15.13 141x7 W, CMn -t lid - McWs Puk {CIS - LigbtM Driving Range, VAR- Bldg, S Vbacks Height orr1%tu=1 -dccx VILLAGE OF MOT NT PROSPECT x '"' ` COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEr z &RTMENT — Planning Division 50 S.

HISTORY Melas Park is presently owned by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) and consists of a total of approximately 68 acres. MWRD leases the east 37.81 acres to the Mt. Prospect Park District (MPPD) through a sub -lease with the Village of Mt. Prospect (VOMP). The following is a brief history of the site: • 1975 - Original lease between MWRD and the Village of Arlington Heights (VOAH) and VOMP a Construction of reservoir o All maintenance responsibility by VOAH and VOMP, alternating years. • 1977 - Amendment to 1975 lease • Split maintenance responsibility • VOAH, pumping station • VOMP, all other site improvements for reservoir • Track all costs and split 50150 1981 - Lease to use site 35.68 acres for recreation by VOMP o Amendment agreement with MWRD, VOAH, VOMP, MPPD to allow recreational sport activities, including carnivals, fairs, and fireworks. • 1989 - Lease extension and amendment • Extended 20 years from 06/01/91 to 05/31/11 • Amendment to allow for sale of alcoholic beverages for 5 events. a 1991 -Agreement between VOMP, MPPD and AHPD for recreational use of Melas Park 1991 (04116/91) expires 05131111. o Park Districts can build recreational facilities with MWRD approval. • Park Districts to maintain site. • VOMP to maintain road, parking lots and storm drainage system. • VOAH to maintain pumping station. • VOMP, 5 community events per year • VOMP has right to allow sale of alcoholic beverages at 5 events per year. • VOMP has use of north lot for dumping snow and leaves. • VOAH may construct large diameter storm relief sewer. • VOMP has exclusive use one acre at south west corner for future elevated water storage tank and 20' strip premises for utilities. • VOMP has responsibility for police patrolling. 1996 - Second amendment to lease o MPPD to construct 17 car parking lot at 1326 W. Central Rd. (The Studio) • - 2011 — Lease extension to 2031 is pending. The present arrangement is that the MWRD leases the entire site to the VOMP and the VOAH; the VOMP then sub- Ieases the east portion of the park (detention basin, north mound and south mound including rights to parking) to the MPPD and the west portion of the park (baseball and soccer fields, playground, picnic areas) to the AHPD. The most recent overall recreation plan is detailed in the agreement between the VOMP, the AHPD and the MPPD dated April 16, 1991 and attached as attachment No. IA. This document specifically allows for, among other amenities, "athletic field lighting." In addition, Exhibit `A' to attachment IA indicates a clear intention and agreement by all parties that future athletic fields and a golf driving range are planned and acceptable. AHPD installed athletic field lighting for their baseball fields in 1995. This installation used Musco Lighting for their poles and fixtures, the same manufacturer proposed to be used by the MPPD for the athletic fields and driving range. DESIGN Musco Lighting is an innovator in sports field lighting with recent installations located in northeastern Illinois. See attachment No. 1 B. The lighting design of both the athletic fields and driving range are in compliance with the zoning requirement for fixture design, light intensity levels at property lines and maximum illumination levels.

BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY Athletic Fields The Mt. Prospect Park District athletic programs at Melas Park currently support over 1700 participants, and over 1000 spectators, the majority of these being Village of Mount Prospect residents. Convenient use of the site by participants is limited because of the limited daylight available in spring and fall when the programs are available. The addition of lights would allow the Mt. Prospect Park District to expand the programs and allow participants to use the facility after work/school. Golf Driving Range The community benefits of a lighted range and ball fields are simply that they increase available hours for recreational use. Most residents are home from work between 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Add dinner you are in the 6:30pm to 7:00pm range. In the spring and fall it is already dark at dinner. Even at the height of summer, you only have one hour to 1 -' /a hours for recreation use. With lighting, ball fields and driving ranges can stretch this time to 11:00pm. This affords Mt. Prospect residents more hours of "day- light" to use these outdoor recreation facilities. We are providing a service of 2 increased recreation opportunity time and programs for our increasingly busy residents. In particular, it allows families more time to use the range, since a large percentage of driving range participants are children. Driving ranges are starting grounds for golfers. With more usable hours, the availability for evening practice time will increase for Mount Prospect's two high school golf teams whose numbers have nearly doubled over the past decade. Finally, we intend to create a state of the art golf learning center with a grass tee, practice greens, short game area and all weather teaching bays in what now is essentially a wet hole in the ground. It will be conveniently centered in the heart of Mt. Prospect surrounded by the sports field complex and accessible from a main arterial street. In order to-feasibly provide such an upscale golf facility and add this amenity to the community, lights are an essential feature to the overall operation's success. MITIGATION OF POTENTIAL IMPACT TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS • Operations of athletic field and driving range lights may impact adjacent properties to the east and to a lesser extent, to the south. AHPD operations to the west include athletic field lighting and VOAH Public Works to the north is a daytime operation. Neither will be impacted by lights. • All proposed lights are designed to Village codes with full cut -off luminaries to keep the majority of the light on the fields/range and with minimum spillover to adjacent properties. (See design section and drawings 1 of 2 and 2 of 2). • The majority of luminaries are directed away from the residential properties (east and south). • Lights can (and will) be programmed to turn on and off via remote control insuring that agreed upon hours of operation are enforced. • Lights are fully adjustable after installation to ensure the optimum lighting effects. ■ Relief from a 30' minimum side yard setback (4' proposed) to allow for the future placement of a Driving Range Control Building. HISTORY Same as above DESIGN The Driving Range Control building is a vital component of the proposed driving range. Golf balls and club rental will be distributed to Range users through this facility and mechanical and electrical services will be located here. Storage for equipment and supplies necessary to support the range will also be provided. The buildings location has been chosen because of its proximity to existing parking. Approximately 10 existing parking spaces will be lost by the placement of the Driving .Range Control Building, however, the construction of additional parking is being discussed as part of the proposed salt storage facility BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY The placement of the Control Building will allow the use to readily access the driving range from the existing on -site parking. Security of the facility will also be enhanced by placing the building where it can be accessed by police, fire, and other emergency agencies.

Prospect and I am against using the retention pond as a lighted driving range. This area is utilized by the residents of Mt. Prospect for various activities, such as running, biking, sledding, etc. For the park district to "take over" the entire area and use it for one purpose would be disappointing to the various people and families that use that site for non -golf related activities. There a plenty of ranges in the area earmarked for this purpose. Please allow the rest of us "non golfers" the luxury of having a great area to do all sorts of various activities.

It is an impressive plan that includes a lighted golfing range and lighted ball fields for the park district's youth football and youth soccer programs. Residents were .told that the plans, while currently incomplete, are likely to cost between $1M and $1.4M million dollars. Walter Cook, CEO of the Park District, suggested that the funding for the project would come from general obligation bonds that would be repaid with proceeds from the new driving range. Mr. Cook projected that the project would pay for itself in 7 years after which time it would generate in excess of six figures ($100,000) annually. Specific numbers were not provided as the plans remain incomplete. On its surface this sounds like a plausible development plan for the community with little to no cost to the tax payers. Mr. Cook was passionate in articulating the Park District's position. He did a very nice job of explaining the lack of open space in Mount Prospect that can be used for leisure activities. He explained the need for gated ball fields that are dedicated solely for youth sports. He clearly had a command of the interests of the Park District. About a dozen or so of the neighboring home Owners, myself included, came out to voice concerns about the project. The home owners were equally passionate in the defense of their property rights, if somewhat less articulate, as Mr. Cook. They described the effect the current ball fields, developed in 2007 and opened in 2009, have had on the quality of life in the neighborhood. Issues ranging from an increase in traffic through the neighborhood, increased parking congestion on our streets, and an increase in the abuse of private property in the neighborhood during park district sponsored games. The residents asserted that the addition of a driving range and the increase in activity in the park after dusk will only exacerbate these problems while at the same time lowering our property values. Mr. Cook and the Park District have a difficult challenge in trying to provide an important service to our community, and a service that certainly makes Mount Prospect a better place to live and raise families. Mr. Cook's concern is for all of the families that participate in Park District programs. He was very clear in stating that while there are roughly 50 neighbors who oppose the development plan, there are a thousand or more who are in favor of the plan, and he went on to state that we live in a democracy and the majority rules. This is where Mr. Cook and I are very much in disagreement. Yes, we live in a democracy. More importantly we live in society that protects the rights of the common man and we have a long and rich history of protecting the property rights of individual home owners. Our zoning rules exist to ensure that our neighbors cannot make changes to their property that reduce the value or usability of our property. And, that applies to government authorities as well. For the average homeowner zoning rules are all we have to maintain the integrity of our neighborhoods, preserve our quality of life and of course protect us from economic harm. In our case the Park District is our neighbor and they are proposing changes to their property that will most certainly cause harm in all of those ways. The changes will alter the character of our neighborhood by bringing in more traffic congestion and substantially raising noise pollution after dark. What is currently a quiet and sleepy street in the evening will become a parking lot with strangers milling about. The Park District is proposing changes that will reduce our families' quality of life and inhibit our ability to continue to enjoy our homes in the evening. Additionally, these changes will most certainly reduce the market value of our homes, our most personal and our most important financial asset. Just imagine the.challenge of selling a property adjacent to a noisy field that will be lit until 10:30pni pm and flooded with cheering fans. While we appreciate the fact that Mr. Cook told the crowd on Wednesday night that "he gets it ", such a remark is of little consolation when families with young children lie awake late in the evening looking at the bright lights through the bed room windows and listening to the cheers of the crowds. While we will take him at his word that he "gets it ", it is of little consolation that the homeowners in the neighborhood suffer the economic loss his proposed changes will bring about. And, of course the fact that "he gets it" will not help at all the fact that families in the neighborhood will literally be locked into this situation as it will hardly be possible to sell and move. Granting the variance would surely be a violation of our property rights. Please join me at the public hearing on June 23' and help me protect the property rights of all of the neighbors of Melas Park. The meeting will be at 7:30pm at the Mount Prospect Village Hall, 50 South Emerson Street in Mount Prospect. This meeting is our opportunity to remind the zoning commission that our individual property rights are more important than the Park District's desire to hold youth football and youth soccer games late into the evening. A thousand people in Mount Prospect may be in favor of Thursday night football but they shouldn't be allowed to do it at the expense of 50 families who have invested both their finances and livelihoods in the neighboring property. I believe Mount Prospect still values the property rights of the little guy. Help me make sure the zoning commission doesn't lose sight of that fact as Mr. Cook eloquently articulates why late night football is more important than our families. Sincerely, Gary Gilmer, Jr. 106 N. Kenilworth Ave. f North Kenilworth Avenue Homeowners RLE �a ' Neighbors opposing the Melas Park Lighting Project VILLAGE OF n MT P1?SPE6- TO: Consuelo Andrade FROM: Gary Gilmer, Jr. & the Residents of North Kenilworth Ave JUN 15 2011 DATE: June 14, 2011 c ornirL`J n hj €1 V °Ji 3�iY31i :YI SUBJECT: PZ -15 -11 Mount Prospect Park District / Melas Park / Conditional Use and Variation I am writing on behalf of my neighbors on North Kenilworth Ave and myself to formally protest the proposed zoning variation for approval to construct a lighted driving range and install eight (8)70 foot light fixtures at Melas Park. We are protesting on the grounds that the request does not meet the Standards for Variations defined in Chapter 14, Article 1, Section 203, Paragraph C, Sub - section 9. In truth, the request fails to meet the standards on the following basis: a. No specific hardship would result to the Petitioner other than mere inconvenience if the letter of the regulation were applied. b. The conditions upon which the application is made are not unique to the property for which the variation is sought. c. The primary purpose of the proposal is for financial gain of the Petitioner. The driving range is intended to generate in excess of $100,000 annually for the Park District * *If ** it stays open after dark. d. There is no difficulty or hardship, other than darkness, identified by the Petitioner. e. The granting of this variation will cause financial injury to the surrounding property. The Petitioner has offered no fact based evidence to the contrary. f. The granting of the variation will alter the essential character of the neighborhood through increased traffic and congestion on North Kenilworth Avenue and will bring a great deal of late night noise to an otherwise quiet street. The Petitioner has offered no fad based evidence to the contrary. g. The granting of the variation will substantially increase the congestion on North Kenilworth Ave, a public street, and it will substantially diminish the propertyvalues in the neighborhood. The Petitioner has offered no fact based evidence to the contrary. We apologize for amateurish legal explanation above. We are not attorneys but we are doing our best to interpret the legal definitions provided to us by the Village without incurring financial hardship to formally protest this request. In the interest of stating this in more English terms: a. The petitioner is asking for a variance in order to hold sporting events after dark and to generate additional revenue from the driving range after dark. Darkness is an inconvenience to the Petitioner and does not qualify as a hardship. r North Kenilworth Avenue Homeowners Neighbors opposing the Melas Park Lighting Project b. There are other lighted fields in Mount Prospect that can already be used for these purposes; namely Lions Park and Majewski Park. There are also additional parks where the sporting events can be held during daylight hours including Sunrise Park. c. The primary purpose for the lighting at the Driving range is to extend the hours of operation of the range and increase the revenue needed to pay for the project. d. The only hardship created by the current zoning rules is that the Petitioner cannot conduct leisure activities late into the evening. Leisure activities hardly qualify as a hardship. e. The variation will most certainly harm our property and our ability to enjoy the use of our property. The noise, traffic congestion, and debris left in our yards are without question harmful. f. We live on a street that is sleepy and quiet in the evening. That fact is core to the character of our neighborhood. The petitioner should not be allowed to alter that character. g. The impact on the value of the neighboring property is enormous to the homeowners on North Kenilworth Ave. Very few potential buyers will want to live less than 200 feet from the light and noise that would come with this variation. The current market value of the homes on just the west side of North Kenilworth Ave (6/13/2011) according to Ziliow Real Estate is estimated at $6,142,000. If each homeowner experiences a 10% decrease in value because the pool of potential buyers goes down we will collectively lose $614,200 for the mere convenience of the Petitioner. If we want to avoid the affect the variation will have on our quality of life we will be forced to sell. If forced to sell in the current economic environment that loss will be multiplied by the loss of equity that most of us have already experienced in the past decade. The hardship will be ours, not the Petitioner's. This should not be allowed to happen. These are the standards defined by the Village as the criteria that must be met to grant a variation. Failure to meet any one standard should result in a denial of the Petitioner's request. It is our position that the Petitioner has failed to meet ALL of the defined standards and has failed to even attempt to provide any factual evidence to the contrary.

I'm strongly opposed to this. That particular area is one used often by all sorts of folks. Kids sledding in the winter, people working out, etc. The recently built football /soccer fields are bad enough, it seems to me they're used only 4 -5 weekends the entire year. Large lighting standards, and the safety nets required are just going to be an eyesore. My children and I use that area of the park a lot, and they would not understand having to stay away from it. There are enough sporting event venues in this area, and not enough large park areas for just 'regular' folks. Thank you for your consideration... Kim Rivera, 30 Millers Lane, Mt. Prospect.

My kids and I use this area almost daily year -round (honestly) to walk our dog and to use the hills for exercising. In the winter, it is our favorite place to go sledding. Every time I am there (no matter the weather), I see many other people enjoying the area - elderly couples, families with kids, dog - owners, etc. Just this morning, I saw a woman teaching her son how to ride a bike along the path. There are not any other recreation areas nearby that offer such a safe, spacious place to enjoy the outdoors the way the Melas water retention area does. It is especially conducive to families because it is set so far off the road. A driving range would appeal to a much smaller demographic and could only be used a portion of the year. But it's existence would take SO much away from SO many people! I am actually an avid golfer myself (my family has a tee time scheduled for this weekend) and often enjoy going to the driving range. However, there are PLENTY of other driving ranges in the area that are easily accessible. I find it completely unnecessary (and possibly heartbreaking!) to add another one at Melas. Please consider my plea to keep this beautiful area open for ALL the public to enjoy, Thank you, Jodie Moeller This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

We were children here and are now raising our children here. In that time, we have been very proud of the effort the Village of , Mount Prospect has put forth to provide high caliber recreational facilities, programs and parks. We have utilized many of the Village facilities and opportunities and have encouraged our neighbors to do the same. It is our belief, however, that the proposed zoning changes presentedin Case PZ- 15 -11, in support of a new driving range at Melas Park, are not necessary and, in fact, INDULGENT. Within a 5 mile radius of Mount Prospect, there are 9 or more public golf courses and driving ranges already in existence. One more driving range will only introduce new costs to the city and increased traffic on Central Avenue. It is doubtful that this requested zoning change is motivated toward meeting gaps in the community recreational NEEDS of the Mount Prospect resident community. The Melas Park back park (water retention area) is a fantastic open area for sledding, fitness training, frisbee play, etc which is not disruptive to any of the other sporting complex activities. As suburbs have grown over the years, these type of open areas are much more rare than driving ranges. We strongly recommend that the Zoning Board reject the proposed changes presented in Case PZ- 15 -11. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I am a resident of Arlington Heights since 1992 and my family, including three kids and a dog, has enjoyed Melas for the purposes of softball, soccer, sledding, dog walking, and more. The retention area is especially important to us because there are so very few green spaces in the suburbs which are free from structured activities and allow for frisbee, dog play, sledding, exercise, etc. Recently I heard that the park district wants to change the use to create a driving range. I would be very disappointed to see this happen and I think many other AH and Mt. Prospect residents would be too. It changes an area that is currently used by many for various purposes into something that only benefits a minority of residents, excludes all the others, and is completely redundant given that there are already numerous driving ranges in the area. Furthermore, it accentuates a certain economic disparity since jogging, exercise, frisbee, dog walking and sledding are all free activities, but golfing requires a certain investment even if only in golf clubs. It's so important that the park district and the village maintain a stance that amenities that are provided through taxes need to be for all of the general public, not a select few. I sincerely hope you will reconsider this idea and conclude at a minimum that this is something that residents need to weigh in on since they are the ones who will be affected.

I don't play golf and I know_ that the park district already has a.driving range ( http: / /www.rtpd.org /Golf /miniGolf.html I can also think of three other driving ranges that are a short drive away (two in Des Plaines and one in Northbrook). I also think that the following questions should be answered: 1. Who will pay for the change and how will it be funded? I hope there will not be won't be any additional costs for the residents to bear - as a reminder, we are in the middle of a huge recession. 2. Have the families that will be affected by the new lighting etc. been contacted for their input? I can't imagine that most would be happy with the proposed change. 3. Why are we looking to add additional maintenance when we cannot currently maintain Kopp field. My daughter plays soccer there and the field is a mess most days.

The only lighted facility available to us now is Majewski Park, and the 2 lighted fields there do not provide enough space for all our teams to practice. Please consider what is best for'all the - residents of Mt. Prospect as you make your decision about lights at this centrally- located facilityi Name r Address IUD (f. f!5-71 r,&AnC-3TWzrAr- 4 9 k, & /I - P, /L- 1� n 3 L,beJ- C L - [ Y 17 ect I I L- 660t ? o t PO E r 44 hr P�,,�f-� RECEIVED AUG 3 1 2M1 �OIt'11'T1 n[••• rrpSpG� l�eveloprnent Melas Park Comparable Propeqy SalesChart Sales Between 2008 and 2011 Key Properties Square Square Footage Footage # Address City Sale Price Sale Year (Land) (Living) 1 114 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $292,500.00 07/20/201!0 8,250 1,568 Total $292,500.00 Average $292,500.00 Base Properties $339 019/1212005 8,250 u - are Square :7 1=08 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect Footage Footage # Address City Sale Price Sale Year (Land) (Living) Average $358,500.00 Base Properties 0 =0 RIPINIM Square Square 1 01"'IM/00101 0'", M p t M MF I MENEM//' Footage Footage # Address '0"' Sale Price Total l $628,000.00 l Average l $209,333.33 Sales Between 2002 and 2007 Key Properties Square Square Footage Footage # Address city Sale Price Sale Year Land L iviin g) 5 202 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $341,,5010.00 07/26/20 7,500 1,237 6 1101 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Proseect $339 019/1212005 8,250 1,333 :7 1=08 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $395,000,00 011/2 8,250 1,115,2 Total $1,075,500.00 Average $358,500.00 Base Properties Square Square Footage Footage # Address City Sale Price Sale Year Land : (Living) IVER, Total $610,000.00 Average $305,000.00 Sale Prices and Square Footages from http.:llchicago,blockshopper.com/ Similar house square footages and /or lot size used to determine "comparable, Melas Park Overall Property Sales Chart Address Sales between 2008 andl 2011 Key Properties Address -City Sale Price Sale Year 114 IN Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $292,,500,00 07/2012010 Total $292,500.00 Average $292,500.00 Base Pro eirties Address City Sale Price Sale Year $395,000,00 01122/2007 106 N Kenilworth, Ave Mt Prospect $735,000.00 04/11412006 201 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $222,0001,00 05/1712002 Total $2,237,500.00 Average, $372,916.67 Base Properties Address city Sale Price Sale Year MOINIMMINIMMI NO Total $1,143,000,00 Total $3,372,000M Average l $228,600.00 1 Sales between 20 and 2007 Key Properties Address C �it Sale Price Sale Year 206 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $205,000.00 01/10/2002 202 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $341,500.00 017/26/2005 110 IN Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $339,000.00 09/12/2005 108 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $395,000,00 01122/2007 106 N Kenilworth, Ave Mt Prospect $735,000.00 04/11412006 201 N Kenilworth Ave Mt Prospect $222,0001,00 05/1712002 Total $2,237,500.00 Average, $372,916.67 Base Properties Address city Sale Price Sale Year MOINIMMINIMMI NO Total $3,372,000M Average l $337,200.00 Sale Prices from http.
