OLD BUSINESS
A. A Resolution Authorizing Adoption of the Village of Mount Prospect's "Comprehensive
OLD BUSINESS Bike Plan"
1) Review of Revised Bike Plan Document
COMPREHENSIVE 2) Transportation Safety Commission Recommendation
BIKE PLAN
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak presented the Resolution Authorizing Adoption of the Village of Mount
Prospect's "Comprehensive Bike Plan."
Community Development Director William Cooney provided an over view of the Revised Bike
Plan document, Transportation Safety Commission (TSC) recommendations and staff
recommendations. The vision of the Bike Plan is to create a safe, comfortable and bicycle -
friendly environment in Mount Prospect, which encourages people of all ages to use bicycles for
everyday transportation and enjoyment.
The Bike Plan was presented to the Village Board at the September 27, 2011 Committee of the
Whole meeting; based on the comments from that meeting the plan was revised to reflect:
1) Revised language to remove "absolutes ": the text now presents the recommendations as
tools to the complete the vision of the plan.
2) The bike plan works in conjunction with other studies and programs and does not
supersede other adopted policies inlcuding the Traffic Calming Program.
3) The implementation matrix was revised and is now a Project Schedule.
4) The report clearly states the main source of funding for the improvements and programs
are from grants.
Mr. Cooney stated the Transportation Safety Commission (TSC) vote on the Bike Plan was
evenly split; no recommendation per se from the TSC. Staff recommend approval of Bike Plan
as revised.
Village Board Comments
• Supports Bike "Safety" plan — educate people on bike safety; motorists /bicyclists need to work
together.
• Appreciate staff and TSC addressed Village Board comments and made revisions to Plan.
• Plan difficult to comprehend as a concept.
• Several concerns; conflict with traffic, costs associated with implementation, implementation
plan.
• Concern adoption of plan as presented will bind the Village Board to all aspects of the Bike
Plan.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 3 of 10
Mayor and Board of Trustees February 7, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
• Multi -year program. Regarding potential costs; like CIP no fees expended without Village
Board approval.
• Good to start with a plan — may see changes to plan before implementation.
• Bike Plan creates a rather inexpensive amenity to resident; good for community.
• Biking more than leisure activity; mode of transportation.
-Adoption of plan is not an authorization for funding or implementation without further approval
from Village Board.
-If the intent is to continue to study and engineer plan before implementation will support plan
approval.
Trustee Juracek recommended the following revision to the Bike Plan: change the word "upon"
to "prior to" in the first (1 St ) paragraph of the "Recommendation Summary" section on page four
of the executive summary.
Village Manager Janonis stated the Bike Plan is a concept plan; will be beneficial to the Village
in applying for additional grant money. He further stated nothing in the Plan would be
implemented without Village Board approval. As the Plan would be approved as a "concept" he
suggested the Plan be adopted by motion rather than as a resolution.
Trustee Juracek, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve the motion authorizing the
adoption of the Village of Mount Prospect's Comprehensive Bike Plan, with the following
revision; page four, first (1 St ) paragraph of the "Recommendation Summary" section, the word
"upon" will be deleted and the words "prior to" inserted

A. PZ- 30 -11, 1440 West Lincoln Street, Chalice Development
PZ- 30 -11, 1440 Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance granting a Conditional
WEST LINCOLN Use Permit for property located at 1440 West Lincoln Street. This ordinance grants a
STREET Conditional Use Permit for a circular driveway for property located at 1440 West Lincoln Street.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 5 -0.
Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information stating the
Petitioner is currently constructing a new single - family residence and proposes to construct a
circular driveway in the front yard; Village Code requires Conditional Use approval for a circular
driveway. The proposed circular driveway will comply with the applicable zoning and the
additional minimum requirements for a Conditional Use approval for a circular driveway. The
circular drive portion of the driveway will measure a minimum of twelve feet (12) wide and
include a turning radius of forty five feet (45'). The lot coverage will not exceed the Code's lot
coverage limitation of thirty five feet percent (35 %).
Mr. Cooney stated the Petitioner was in attendance to respond to questions from the Village
Board.
Trustee Juracek stated she was a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission when the
Conditional Use for circular driveways was adopted. This process allows the Village Board the
opportunity to assess the impact on neighbors. The requested circular drive is in character of
the neighbor; appropriate to waive the rule requiring two (2) readings of an ordinance.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2)
readings of an ordinance:

PZ- 32 -11, 1108 B.PZ- 32 -11, 1108 North Elmhurst Road, Linda Davis
NORTH ELMHURST Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance granting Variations for
ROAD for property located at 1108 North Elmhurst Road. This ordinance grants variations for floor area
and lot coverage for property located at 1108 North Elmhurst Road. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended by a vote of 6 -0 to deny the request; adoption of the ordinance
requires a super majority vote for approval.
Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information stating the
Petitioner is seeking approval of variations to the floor area and lot coverage for a building
addition; 1) a variation to increase the floor area from 7,000 square feet (35 %) to 7,088.63
square feet (35.44 %) and 2) a Variation to increase the overall lot coverage from 7,000 square
feet (35 %) to 11,600.63 square feet (58.02 %). The Petitioner removed a portion of an existing
wood deck and started construction of a two -story building addition without a permit. A Stop
Work order was issued by the Village in November of 2011. The Petitioner's building permit
application was denied as the Subject property exceeds the maximum floor area and lot
coverage. The Petitioner now seeks variations to increase the floor area and overall lot
coverage to allow the building to remain and be completed. A maximum of 7,000 square feet is
allowed for floor area and lot coverage at the subject property. The Petitioner's information
indicates the property has a floor are of 7,088.63 square feet and 11,600.63 square feet lot
coverage; subject property exceeds the permitted floor area by 88.63 square feet and the
permitted lot coverage by 4,600.63 square feet.
Mr. Cooney stated the Petitioner(s) was in attendance to address the Village Board; Mr. and
Mrs. Davis.
Mr. Davis provided background information on the subject from the original construction in 1985
to present. Mr. Davis stated he was aware he needed a permit but proceeded without one to
expedite completion of the project to accommodate the needs of his elderly mother -in -law who
resides with them and is wheel -chair bound. He indicated it was his intent to obtain the permit
and accepts responsibility for starting the work without it. Mr. Davis believes there are special
conditions to his property that warrant the Village granting the variations: 1) lot coverage is at
maximum use because request to build circular driveway in 1985 was denied; resulted in
extended driveway 2) property is across from Randhurst and on major thoroughfare — should not
be limited to residential lot coverage requirements. 3) subject property as well as other
properties in his area should be zoned Business not residential 4) special needs of his mother -
in -law.
Mr. Davis stated he had tried to purchase the foreclosed property adjacent to his home but at
this time the bank is unwilling to sell. He had hoped the purchase of that property would resolve
the lot coverage issue.
Village Board Comments
-Questioned when Mr. Davis was going to apply for the permit; application was not submitted
prior to the Village putting the stop work order. Concerned that even though Petitioner knew
a permit was required went ahead and started the project.
-Helpful to hear history of property — better understanding of existing lot coverage.
-Lot coverage is in excess of Village Code; Village Board cannot overlook, need to enforce code
consistently.
-Flooding issues associated with lot coverage; $20 million in flood control projects.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 5 of 10
Mayor and Board of Trustees February 7, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
-Subject property is still residential; residential properties must comply with lot coverage
standards, unless there is truly a hardship.
Trustee Juracek proposed there may be a way to mitigate lot coverage; option of Petitioner
moving the garage to the front of the property would shorten the length of the existing driveway.
Mr. Davis indicated the cost of having to remove the eighteen foot (18') long drive way and tear
down three car garage did not seem a feasible option. He stated the church adjacent to his
property had greater lot coverage.
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Cooney provided the following:
1) Purpose of lot coverage requirements; to address storm water drainage and enhance property
aesthetics;
2) If the Village Board does not approve the Petitioner's variation request; the Petitioner will be
required to remove the addition and will not be allowed to apply for another variance of this
nature for one (1) year.
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak asked the Petitioner if it was their wish to have the Village Board hold
the request for a second (2 reading or take action this evening.
Village Manager Janonis added he was aware the Petitioner was not available for the February
21, 2012 Village Board meeting and the 2 nd reading of the ordinance could be held until the
March 6, 2012 Village Board meeting. This would allow the Petitioner to work with staff on
options to mitigate the existing lot coverage.
Mrs. Davis requested the 2 nd reading be held until the March 6, 2012 Village Board meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak stated the second (2 reading of the ordinance to grant variations for
floor area and lot coverage for property located at 1108 North Elmhurst Road would be held at
the March 6, 2012 Village Board meeting.
PZ- 31 -11, 701 EAST C. PZ- 31 -11, 701 East Prospect Avenue, Constantine Fourlas
PROSPECT AVENUE Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance to amend the Planned
Unit Development being the subject of Ordinance No. 5642 and Variations for property located at
701 East Prospect Avenue. This ordinance amends the Planned Unit Development being the
subject of Ordinance No. 5642 and grants variations for density and lot coverage for property
located at 701 East Prospect Avenue. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval by a vote of 6 -0.
Mr. Cooney provided background information stating in 2007 the Petitioner received Conditional
Use approval for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of a twelve (12) unit townhome
development. The residential development was not constructed and the Petitioner now seeks to
amend the original PUD from twelve (12) townhomes to twenty -four (24) condominium units.
Illustrations of the plan were presented; the number of buildings, elevations and site layout have
not changed from the originally approved plan. However, an amendment to the original PUD
and variations to density and overall lot coverage are now required to allow the revised plan.
The Petitioner seeks 1) a variation to increase the density from the permitted fourteen (14) to
twenty -four (24) dwelling units and 2) a variation for lot coverage for the five (5) new guest
parking spaces that were not part of the original PUD.
Mr. Cooney provided an overview of the revised parking plan which adds five (5) guest parking
spaces to the interior of the site, increasing the lot coverage from fifty -one (51%) to fifty -four
(54 %) percent. The Petitioner intends to use permeable pavers for the driveway aprons and
guest parking spaces.
Mr. Cooney stated the Petitioner, Mr. Constantine Fourlas, was in attendance to address the
Village Board.

Mr. Constantine Fourlas — Petitioner /Co -owner of subject property
2300 W. Diversey Avenue, Chicago
Mr. Tim Loucopoulos — Co -owner of subject property
2300 W. Diversey Avenue, Chicago
Mr. Fourlas stated due to the economy the 2007 project was put on hold and they have been
trying to find a good alternative. He stated there is a market for smaller units and the Chicago
two (2) flat model is proving successful. He believes the proposed project is a good solution for
development of the property and meets the market need. Recognizing the problem with parking
and storage the project design includes additional guest parking inside the property and each
unit includes storage area. A permeable paving system will be installed to allow for water
drainage. If approved construction is anticipated for the fall of 2012.
In response to questions from the Village Board regarding parking Mr. Fourlas stated he was
sensitive to the parking issue and addressed this concern by 1) creating additional parking
spaces inside the development and 2) providing each unit with a storage area — he noted that
often times owners without adequate storage space will use their garage for storage.
Village Board Comments
• Increase from twelve (12) to twenty -four (24) — increase in density is a significant concern.
• Intensifying use — need to consider impact on neighborhood/Village; more units, more
occupants, more vehicles.
• Change in economy may generate more of this type of housing.
• Solution lies in the density and lot coverage. Project design options that would reduce density
such as making the end units one (two) story unit.
Mr. Loucopoulos provided additional information regarding the current housing market; potential
buyers looking for smaller units. Occupancy is a mix of people, but many are single owners
using a second (2 bedroom for an office. He also provided financial information including
construction costs relative to unit size.
Public Comment
Mr. Dan Konieczka
622 South Edward Street
Mr. Konieczka expressed a number of concerns regarding the changes in the residential building
project:
• Increasing the number of units will overload the neighborhood.
• Street parking in this area is very dangerous; not sure where the additional on- street parking
spaces will come from.
• Negative impact on single - family housing valuation.
• Condo development — how many owner occupied /rentals; property maintenance issues and
turnover with rental properties.
• Only one (1) stairway from 2 floor is not adequate; for safety purposes buildings should have
two (2) stairways for exiting.
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak stated this was the first (1 reading of the ordinance; the second (2nd)
reading of the ordinance would be held at the February 21, 2012 Village Board meeting.

Recognizing a number of representatives from local organizations were in the audience Mayor
Pro Tern Matuszak thanked those individuals for attending and opened the discussion for Public
Comment.
Public Comment
The following is a list of the individuals and their respective organization who addressed the
Village Board and a list of their collective comments.
Mr. Bill Starr —American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars
1819 West Willow Lane
Mr. Bob McKillop — American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars
1303 Nutmeg
Mr. Ron Matella — Knights of Columbus
1708 Robbie Lane
• The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars use "Tag Day" for their single source of
Revenue; Poppy Day.
• Revenue from Poppy Day provides needed support to veterans, widows and children.
• Dwindling membership — need to maximize use of volunteers at most revenue generating
intersections.
• The revised list of permitted intersections eliminates highest revenue generating intersections.
• Supports all proposed revisions except the list of permissible intersections. Elimination of high
generating intersections will severely impact the support and service they currently provide
those who need assistance.
• Unaware of any accidents or compromise in safety for participants. Participants wear safety
vests and remain out of harm's way when traffic is moving.
-Knights of Columbus uses "Tag Day" for Tootsie Roll Days to raise money for individuals with
intellectual challenges. The revised list eliminates their highest revenue generating
intersections.
-Request the Village reconsider the revised list; allow the charitable organizations to continue
solicitation at their highest revenue generating intersections.
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak thanked the representatives and recognized the importance of their
organizations and services provided. He and the other Trustees expressed a special
appreciation to the members of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars for their
service.
Village Board Comments
• No question about the good these organizations perform; commend them for their charitable
activity.
• Revisions presented to the Village Board as a safety issue.
• Request staff to reassess intersections removed from permitted list; intersections charitable
organizations have identified as essential for successful fundraising.
• Number one (1) priority is safety of participants - second (2 nd ) priority is traffic.
• Complexity of some of the intersections present heightened safety concerns.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 8 of 10
Mayor and Board of Trustees February 7, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
• Would like additional information specific to traffic counts, timing of traffic signals and crash
reports at these intersections.
• Support revisions to time period and application process. Enforce other regulations including
use of safety vests.
• Enforcement of Village guidelines are challenging if solicitation occurs at multijurisdictional
intersection.
Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak stated while addressing the issue of pedestrian and traffic safety the
Village does recognize the significant financial impact the restrictions on permitted intersections
may have on charitable organizations. He requested staff re- evaluate the list of permitted
intersections. Mayor Pro Tern Matuszak stated the second (2 reading of the ordinance will be
held at the February 21, 2012 meeting.
