REQUEST FOR 6-MONTH EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE ORDINANCE NO.
5096
Attached to this memorandum is a request from Patrick K. Callero, President of the Mil-De Corporation,
requesting a 6-month extension of Conditional Use Ordinance No. 5096. The Conditional Use Ordinance granted
the right to construct a drive-through restaurant at 820 E. Rand Road (originally for a Taco Bell, now for a Baskin
Robbins/Dunkin Donuts/TOGO's). Staff supports the request for the 6-month extension.
The petitioner has been working with staff and several adjacent property owners to finalize details relating to
cross access easements. Once completed, the easements will formalize a series of access drives between the
subject property, Menards and the Brunswick Zone. All issues relating to the easements are nearly resolved and
therefore the project should move forward in the near future. The building permit for the project is ready to be
issued subject to completion of the easement agreement.
PleaSe forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
September 17~ meeting. Staff will be present at that meeting to answer any questions related to this matter.

· Re: 820 E. Rand Road
Dear Mr. Cooney:
As you know Mil-De Corporation is the owner of 820 E. Rand Road.
On March 22, 2000 the Village approved Ordinance 5096 granting a
Conditional Use for a drive-thru restaurant and parking and setback
variations. Previously the Village extended the conditional use
permit initially to March 20, 2002 and earlier this year the
conditional use permit was extended to September 22, 2002.
Also you are aware we have a Lease with Allied Domecq QSR to
lease the premises for use as a Dunkin'Donuts/Baskin-Robbins/ Togo's
Shop, which Lease is subject to obtaining governmental approval of
the proposed use. The tenant's use of the premises would be
consistent with the existing conditionai use permit.
We respectfully request the Village extend the Conditional Use
permit for an additional six months with the condition that
substantial construction be underway and completed within six months
thereafter.
Very truly yours,
MIL-DE CORPORATION

2003 GENERAL FUND BUDGET SHORTFALL
At the recent 2003 Pre-BL]dget Workshop, staff identified an approximate $1.25 million General
Fund deficit for next year. Approximately one-half of the deficit was driven in large part by the
economic downturn and corresponding reductions in certain revenue streams. At that time, the
Village Board directed staff to take a hard look at expenditure reductions in an effort to hoed the
line. Staff has identified approximately $600,000 in potential General Fund expenditure
reductions. Some of the guidelines employed in preparation of the 2003 Budget inciuded:
1) Maintaining non-personnel related spending at 2002 levels wherever possible, 2) deferring or
eliminating non-essential capital projects, 3)modest reductions in general infrastructure
maintenance initia{ives and 4) the prohibition on new programs, or personnel. Further
expenditure reductions will require substantial service and staff reductions. This is inevitable
given that Mount Prospect municipal staffing levels are already one of the lowest in the
northwest suburbs.
The Village has three basic options for eliminating the General Fund deficit: 1) Eliminate deficit
entirely through expenditure, service and staff reductions, 2) generate sufficient revenues to
cover the shortfall, or 3) utilize a combination of staff.reductions and either draw down on
excess General Fund fund balance or fill the gap with new revenues.
In line with these scenarios, the Village Board will consider at the September 17 Village Board
meeting, an Ordinance that would raise the Home Rub Sales Tax by one-quarter of one
percent. This would generate an estimated $1.3 mill.ion annually in additional funds. With
regard to drawing down on General Fund fund balance, over the past several years, the Vii[age
Board has built on its General Fund surplus from approximately '17% to a projected fund balane
of 26.7%. This was done to serve as a cushion during soft economic times or to cover
unforeseen catastrophic losses. Drawing down General Fund fund balance by approximately
$600,000 would reduce the surplus from approximately 26.7% of annual expenditures to 24.7%.
All of the Budget balancing options outlined above are viable.
Staff will seek Village Board direction on how to approach final preparation of the 2003 Budget.

HOME RULE SALES TAX
PURPOSE: To present informatiOn relative to the Village's home rule sales tax.
BACKGROUND: Illinois statutes allow home-rule municipalities to impose a home rule
retailers' occupation tax and home rule service occupation tax ("home rule sales tax") in
one-quarter percent increments. In 1991 the Village established a one-quarter percent
home rule sales tax to fund flood control projects (Ordinance No. 4275). That tax took
effect September 1, 1991. In 1994 the Village increased the home rule sales tax rate to
one-half of one percent effective January 1,1995 (Ordinance No. 4613). The second one-
quarter percent increment was earmarked for street improvements.
DISCUSSION: State statute permits the.municipal home rule sales tax to be imposed
only on general merchandise. It cannot be imposed upon groceries, drugs and medical
appliances, or titled property such as automobiles.
Our current one-half of one percent home rule sales tax is expected to generate $2.6
million in 2003. This is down from a high of $3.4 million reached in 2000. Therefore, an
increase to three-quarters of one percent would generate an estimated $1.3 million of
additional revenue.
Currently, on the purchase of general merchandise in Mount Prospect customers pay a
total sales tax rate of 8.25%. The rate can be broken down as follows:
State of Illinois 6.25% (1)
RTA 0.75%
Cook County Home Rule 0.75%
Mount Prospect Home Rule 0.50%
8.25%
(1) Of the 6.25%, Mount Prospect receives 1% from the State.
ome Rule Sales Tax
September 11, 2002
Page 2
On the purchase of prepared food and beverages, a consumer pays an additional 1%,
which is our food and beverage tax. On the purchase of groceries and drugs the consumer
pays 2%, of which 1% comes to the Village and 1% goes to the RTA.
The majority of home rule municipalities in our area have imposed a one-half of one
percent home rule sales tax. Evanston, Niles and Skokie have had a three-quarter of one
percent tax rate for at least two years. Given the economy and the state of municipal
budgets, several communities have recently, or are in the process of, adopting ordinances
increasing their tax rate to three-quarters of one percent. These include Des Plaines,
Morton Grove, and Elk Grove Village.
Home rule municipalities are permitted to impose, amend or abolish their home rule sales
st st
tax twice each year, January 1 and July 1 . To do so, an ordinance must be filed with the
Illinois Department of Revenue no later than October 1st and April 1st, respectively.

SEPTEMBER SAFETY COMMISSION MEETING
YIELD SIGNS ON PI~E STREET AT SttABONEE TRAIL
The Safety Commission transmits their recommendation to
./
approve Yield signs on Pine Street at Shabonee Trail.
Ms. Susan Coz/ne, 423 S. Pine Street, lives at the northeast corner of the intersection and believes many
motorists are not aware it is an uncontrolled intersection since ali of the other intersections along
Shabonee Trail in the area have either Stop or Yield signs. She is aware of multiple accidents in recent
years and is concerned for the safety of the families with young children in the area. Ms. Cozine
submitted a petition to the Village requesting consideration for Stop or Yield signs at the intersec;ion of
Pine Street and Shabonee Trail.
In August 2002, Staff performed a traffic study of the intersection. Results show there have been three
accidents at the intersection over the past t~vo years. Also, there are approximately 900 vehicles per da.x
(250 on Pine Street and 650 on Shabonee Trail) that enter the intersection. Average recorded speeds
along both streets are beloxv the 25mph speed limit. Finally, while there are no sight obstructions
immediately at any of the corners, landscaping near the homes and even the homes themselves are close
to the comers and may make it difficult for motorists to react to a vehicle approaching on the cross stree:
and avoid a collision.
Staff sent out 21 surveys to residents who live within 200' of the intersection per the Notification ?olicy
t0 surveys C/ere returned and all favored either Stop or Yield signs because of speeding motorists along
Shabonee Trail and the concern for possibly more accidents at the intersection.
This issue was discussed at the September 9, 2002 Safety Commission Meeting. The petitioner, Ms.
Cozine, was the only resident present to speak on the issue. Commission members determined Stop signs
were not warranted at the intersection but supported Yield signs on the minor street (Pine Street) in order
to clarify the right-of-way.
By a vote of 8-0, the Safety Commission recommends to install Yield signs (Section
18.2004B of the Village Code) for northbound and southbound Pine Street at
Shabonee Trail.

CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
Mr. Chris Lenz, 214 S. Louis Street, wanted to thank Commissioner Beening for his years of
service on the Safety Commission and his dedication to the Village.
No further citizens came forth to discuss any topics that were not on the current agenda.
OLD BUSINESS
A) NO TURN ON RED ~IGNS IN DOWNTOWN
1) Background Information
At the June I0, 2002 Safety Commission Meeting, Mr. Norm Kurtz of 32 W. Busse Avenue
requested the Commission consider posting No Turn on Red When Pedestrians Are Present signs
in the downtown area to enhance safety for pedestrians.
Staff was asked to inspect the area and provide the information back to the Commission. No
Turn on Red signs exist for northbound and southbound Route 83 at Northwest Highway and for
westbound Prospect Avenue at Route 83. No other such signs exist in the downtown area.
Any new signs along Route 83 or Northwest Highway would have to be installed by :[DOT as
they have jurisdiction of the roads. The Village has jurisdiction over Emerson Street and
Prospect Avenue.
2) Discussion
Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided a brief overview of the existing No Turn on Red signs in the
do~vntown area. Chairman Bencic asked if the Village has had other similar requests or concerns
raised by other residents. Both Traffic Engineer Lawrie and Commander Dahlberg responded
they were not aware of any recent incidences.
After some more discussion, it was decided the issue should be revisited after more development
of the downtown area has occurred.
Commissioner Keane, seconded by Commissioner Bjork, moved to not take any action at
this time but to have Staff monitor the issue over the next year and bring the item back to
the Safety Commission in one year.
The motion was approved by a vote of 8-0.

SEE-GWUN AVENUE TRAFFIC
Discussion
Chairman Bencic provided Traffic Engineer La~vrie some traffic count data he gathered on July
23, 2002 while meeting with the resident at 502 See-Gwun Avenue. Other than one particular
vehicle, the traffic volume and speed appeared to be typical for residential streets. Commissioner
Keane too had spent some time observing traffic and did not See anything unordinary.
Commander Dahlberg noted the Police Department has dedicated a significant amount of time
monitoring traffic speed along See-O,,vun Avenue and officers have not seen an issue. Traffic
Engineer Lawrie responded that Staff is planning to restudy the issue the week of September 16th.
No more discussion took place on this issue.
NEW BUSINESS
A) REQUEST FOR TWO-WAY STREET DESIGNATION ALONG MAIN STREET
1) Background Information
The driveway at 317 S. Main Street has direct access to Main Street between Route 83 and
Lincoln Street. The block is currently posted one-way northbound. The property to the north has
direct access to Route 83 and the property to the south has direct access to Lincoln Street. Mr.
David Baird, '317. S. Main S3reet, requested that the block become a two-way street so that he
may have the opportunity to travel south on Main Street.
2) StaffStudy
Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln Street is an asphalt road with curb and gutter. The
width of the road is 25'. The block is posted one-way northbound. Also, there are No Left Tz~rn
signs posted for southbound Route 83 at Main Street and No Right Turn signs posted for
northbound Route 83 at Main Street. In addition, left turns are prohibited for northbound Main
Street traffic at Route 83 and at Lincoln Street. Finally, parking is prohibited on the east side of
the block and 2-hr parking is allowed on the west side.
Legally, the property owner at 317 S. Main Street must drive northbound when exiting the
driveway. At Route 83, the property owner can then only head northbound. This becomes an
inconvenience when the destination is south of the house.
The road is wide enough to handle two-way traffic. Therefore, to make it more convenient, it is
reasonable to allow this block to be a two-way street designation. The Sole benefit would be to
provide the opportunity for the property owner to head south on Main Street to easier access the
community. The turn prohibition signs on Route 83 would remain in place so as to not create a
potential unsafe situation with turning vehicles at the intersection.
At the intersection of Main Street & Lincoln Street, stop signs are posted for northbound.
eastbound and westbound traffic. By allowing two-way traffic on Main Street between Route 83
and Lincoln Street, a stop sign should be posted for southbound traffic as well.
3)
4)
A survey was not distributed as the property owner at 317 S. Main Street is the only affected
party.
Recommendation
Based on the study performed by Staff:
The Village Traffic Engineer recommends approval of eliminating the one-way street
designation along Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln Street and making it a two-
way street designation; and installing a stop sign on southbound Main Street at Lincoln
Street.
Discussion
Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the report to the Commission.
Commissioner Beening commented that with parking prohibited on the east side of the street
along this block, allowing two-way traffic would require vehicles to be facing southbound when
parked on the west side. This may be confusing as some motorists would continue to face
northbound and park on the west side and others may turn around using the driveway at 317 S.
Main Street and face southbound.
Chaiman Bencic opened up the discussion to the audience. No one spoke on the issue.
Chairman Bencic brought the issue back to the Cornnfission.
There was some discussion about the turn restrictions at the intersection of Route 83 and Main
Street. It was decided that these signs would be left in place and no changes made.
Chairman Bencic questioned whether a No Right Turn sign should be posted for southbound
Main Street and Lincoln Street if the two-way street designation is approved. Traffic Engineer
Lawrie ageed.
There was some more discussion about mo~difying the parking restrictions for the block to make
it safer for motorists. Also, after some discussion, it was decided no changes would be made
concerning the driveway at 315 S. Main Street.
Mr. Bures, seconded by Commissioner Beening, moved to approve eliminating the one-tvay
street designation along Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln Street and make it a
two-way street designation; installing a stop sign and No Right Turn sign on southbound
Main Street at Lincoln Street; prohibiting parking on the west side of Main Street between
Route 83 and Lincoln Street at all times; and restricting parking to 2 hours on the east side
of Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln Street.
The motion was approved by a vote of 8-0.

REQUEST FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBINE
DR.IVE, LARCH DPdVE AND ONEIDA LANE
Background Information
Mr. Jim DeMar, 1515 N. Larch Drive, is concerned with cut through traffic and would like to see
3-way stop signs at the intersection. He believes the new train station along Wolf Road south of
Camp McDonald Road is the source of increased traffic in the neighborhood. His neighbors
have also voiced concern over vehicle speeds and lack of courtesy by motorists.
StaffStudy
The Engineering Staff performed a traffic study including reviewing accident reports, gathering
volume and speed data, identifying sight obstructions near the intersection, surveying the
residents and monitoring cut through traffic.
There have been zero recorded accidents the intersection over the past five years.
Representative speed surveys were performed at ali three legs of the intersection between July
26th and August 2nd, and between August 16~ and 23~d. The average speeds varied between 18-
21mph and the 85°~ percentile speeds varied between 23-26mph. The speed limit on all three
streets is 25mph. Based on the results, there doesn't appear to be an overall speeding problem.
However, the data did show some motorists did drive above the speed limit as is evident on most
residential streets.
Traffic volume data was gathered in July and August. Based on the results, there are
approximately 700 vehicles per day that enter the intersection. 350 vehicles travel on Columbine
Drive, 110 vehicles on Larch Drive and 240 vehicles on Oneida Lane. The peak hour of the day
(typically 5pm-6pm) experiences approximately 60 vehicles that enter the intersection.
A total of 14 surveys were sent out in August 2002 to collect the residents' comments on this
request. 4 surveys (29%) were returned to the Village. 2 of the responses supported Stop signs
because of close calls at the intersection and the other 2 responses opposed any signs because of
the lack of traffic.
Based on an inspection of the intersection, there is not any landscaping at any of the comers
causing a severe sight obstruction. However, since this is an uncontrolled intersection, there is to
be sufficient stopping sight distance for all three legs of the intersection. Stopping sight distance
is the distance a vehicle travels from the point when a motorist sees an approaching vehicle on
the cross street, reacts and comes to a full stop. A motorist should have enough clear vision to be
able to stop, if necessary, before reaching the intersection. Our measurements show there aren't
any sight obstructions near the intersection that should interfere in allowing a motorist to come to
a full stop before reaching the intersection if necessary. The fact there hasn't been any accidents
over the past 5 years supports this determination.
The petitioner claims many motorists are avoiding the traffic signals at Camp McDonald Road
and Wolf Road during peak travel times. As a result, the neighborhood is experiencing cut
through traffic. Looking at the volume data, it appears the peak afternoon hour (5pm-6pm)
experiences approximately 15 vehicles traveling north on Columbine Drive and turning left onto
5
3)
Larch Drive. The same volume is seen for motorists traveling east on Larch Drive and turning
right onto Columbine Drive.
This is not a significant amount of traffic. Aisc, many of the motorists may live in the
neighborhood or have reason to be traveling on the streets. This leaves only a few motorists
possibly cutting through the neighborhood.
Since the volume data was collected in the summer, most of the arterial streets such as Camp
McDonald Road and Wolf Road typically experience below average volume. Cut through traffic
may have been minimal during the study if the arterial streets did not experience significant
back-ups during peak travel times.
Should there be more cut through traffic at different times of the year, No Thru Traffic signs can
be effective. While not necessarily enforceable by the Police Department since the streets in the
neighborhood are public streets, the signs do deter some motorists from cutting through.
Recommendation
3-way Stop signs are normally warranted at intersections where there is a condition of severely
restricted view, accidents or a significant amount of vehicles and pedestrians. Based on an
inspection, there are not any sight obstructions immediately at the intersection that would cause a
full stop to be necessary at all times for all four directions. In addition, there have been 0
accidents 'over the past 5 years. In order to meet the criterion for a multiway stop sign
installation, there is to be 3 accidents in a 12-month period. Fir~ally, the peak hour of the day
experiences approxi~nately 60 Vefifcles entering the intersection. In brdbr :to meet the criterion;
the volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches is to average 300 vehicles
per hour for any 8 hours of the day and 200 vehicles per hour for the same 8 hours from the
minor street approaches. Based on the data, 4-way Stop signs are not warranted at this
intersection.
I-way or 2-way Stop signs are normally warranted at intersections where the criteria for a 4-way
Stop sign installation is not met but where a full stop is necessary at all times on one street in
order to clarify the right-of-way. As stated above, there are not any sight obstructions
immediately adjacent to the intersection that would cause a motorist to have to come to a full
stop in order to safely proceed through the intersection. Also, there is not a significant amount of
traffic at the intersection. A routine motorist may become accustomed to not seeing any traffic at
the legs of the intersection. This, in mm, may result in disobedience of a full stop by motorists
creating a potential safety concern for other motorists and pedestrians. Motorists may also feel
the need to make up for "lost" time after stopping at the intersection resulting in higher speeds at
the midblock. Based on the existing conditions, 1-way or 2-way Stop signs are not recommended
at this intersection.
At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should be given to
using less restrictive measures such as Yield signs. Yield signs assign right-of-way to traffic
when the normal right-of-way rule appears to not be effective. 0 accidents in the past 5 years
appears to reveal that motorists are safely negotiating driving through the intersection without
Stop or Yield signs. Based on the speed data, motorists appear to have sufficient clear vision to
come to a full stop before reaching the intersection if necessary. Based on the existing
conditions, Yield signs are not recommended at this intersection.
6
4)
Based on the traffic study performed by Staff,
The Village Traffic Engineer recommends:
denial of Stop or Yield signs at the intersection; but approval of a No Thru Traffic sign at
Camp McDonald Road and Columbine Drive.
Discussion
Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the report to the Commissionl
Commissioner Bencic opened up the discussion to the audience.
Mr. Jim DeMar, 1515 N. Larch Drive, provided a brief power point presentation detailing his
concerns with vehicle speed and cut through traffic, and emphasizing the need for 3-way stop
signs at the intersection.
Chairman Bencic brought the issue back to the Commission.
Commissioner Beening commented that he believed Metra was planning to double the number of
train stops at the Prospect Heights station over the next five years. He also mentioned he thought
the bus stopg at the intersection were after the morning rush hour.
Commissioner Beening explained to the audience how stop signs are not effective ir} controlling
a speeding issue. Motorists may actually increase speed past the intersection to make up for "lost
time".
Commander Dahlberg said the intersection of Basswood and Cree is a similar configuration to
this intersection and has 3-way stop signs. He suggested that Mr. DeMar spend time watching
traffic at that intersection and watch the number of motorists who disobey the stop signs. Stop
signs are only effective when people obey them. That may be why the standards are so high to
warrant 3-way stop signs explained Commander Dahlberg. He offered to have an officer meet
with Mr. DeMar to monitor traffic speed to identify if there is a speeding issue.
Chairman Bencic commented that stop signs at unwarranted locations can provide a false sense
of security to pedestrians. Since the intersection has a bus stop, a child may cross the street
assuming a motorist will stop if there is a sign posted. The safety of the child may be
compromised if the motorist is used to not stopping at the sign.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie explained the warrants for stop signs and how accidents are seen at
intersections that have stop signs that may not be warranted. He also explained ~vhy uncontrolled
intersections may be the appropriate decision if there is low traff~c volume, Iow speeds and
sufficient vision for motorists to react to oncoming vehicles.
Mr. Bures noted that some issues are revisited as conditions change. With more and more trains
in the future, the traffic in the neighborhood may change. However, based on the current study,
stop signs are not warranted. Mr. Bures stated the Commission does not want to approve
something that could possibly create even more problems.
Some discussion took place regarding speed enforcement tactics such as use of the speed trailer,
drone cars and actual radar enforcement to control any speeding concerns. Commander Dahlberg
will set up a schedule and involve Mr. DeMar in the process.
Commissioner Beening, seconded by Commissioner Keane, moved to deny Stop or Yield
signs at the intersection; approve a No Thru Traffic sign at Camp McDonald Road and
Columbine Drive; have Staff contact the City of Prospect Heights and request a No Thru
Traffic sign be installed at Wolf Road and Alderman Avenue; and revisit the issue in a
year.
The motion was approved by a vote of 8-0.

REQUEST FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF PiNE STREET
AND SHABONEE TRAIL
Background Information
Ms. Susan Cozine, 423 S. Pine Street, lives at the northeast comer of the intersection and
believes many motorists are not aware it is an uncontrolled intersection since all of the other
intersections along Shabonee Trail in the area have either Stop or Yield signs. She is aware of
multiple accidents in recent years and is concerned for the safety of the families with young
children in the area.
Staff Study
The Engineering Staff performed a traffic study including reviewing accident reports, gathering
volume and speed data, identifying sight obstructions near the intersection and surveying the
residents.
There have been three recorded accidents the intersection over the past two years.
Representative speed surveys were performed at all four legs of the intersection between August
16th and 23fa. The average speeds varied between 20~2mph and the 85th percentile speeds varied
between 25-30mph. The speed limit on Pine Street and Shabonee Trail is 25mph. Based on the
results, there doesn't appear to be an overall speeding problem. However, the data did show
some motorists did drive above the speed limit as is evident on most residential streets.
Traffic volume data was gathered in August. Based on the results, there are approximately 900
vehicles per day that enter the intersection. 250 vehicles travel on Pine Street and 650 vehicles on
Shabonee Trail. The peak hour of the day (typically 5pm-6pm) experiences approximately 100
vehicles that enter the intersection.
A total of 21 surveys were sent out in August 2002 to collect the residents' comments on this
request. 10 surveys (48%) were returned to the Village. All of the responses favored either Stop
or Yield signs because of speeding motorists along the streets and many children living in the
neighborhood.

3)
Based on an inspection of the intersectioh, there is not any landscaping at any of the comers
causing a severe sight obstruction. However, since this is an uncontrolled intersection, there is to
be sufficient stopping sight distance for all four legs of the intersection. Stopping sight distance
is the distance a vehicle travels from the point when a motorist sees an approaching vehicle on
the cross street, reacts and comes to a full stop. A motorist should have enough clear vision to be
able to stop, if necessary, before reaching the intersection.
Our measurements show landscaping near the homes and even the homes themselves at the
intersection may not provide sufficient stopping sight distance for motorists. Therefore, Stop or
Yield signs would assist in clarifying the right-of-way and possibly reduce the potential for an
accident.
Recommendation
4-way Stop signs are normally warranted at intersections where there is a condition of severely
restricted view, accidents or a significant amount of vehicles and pedestrians. Based on an
inspection, there are not any sight obstructions immediately at the intersection that would cause a
full stop to be necessary at all times for ail four directions. In addition, there have been 3
accidents over the past 2 years. In order to meet the criterion for a multiway stop sign
installation, there is to be 5 accidents in a 12~month period. Finally; the peak hour of the day
experiences approximately 100 vehicles entering the intersection. In order to meet the criterion,
the volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches)
is to average 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of the day and 200 vehicles per hour for the
same 8 hours from the minor street approaches. Based on the data, 4-way Stop signs are not
warranted at this intersection.
2-way Stop signs are normally warranted at intersections where the criteria for a 4-way Stop sign
installation is not met but where a full stop is necessary at all times on one street in order to
clarify the right-of-way. As stated above, there are not any sight obstructions immediately
adjacent to the intersection that would cause a motorist to have to come to a full stop in order to
safely proceed through the intersection. Also, there is not a significant amount of traffic on the
major street (Shabonee Trail) during the day. A routine motorist on the minor street (Pine Street)
may become accustomed to not seeing any traffic on Shabonee Trail at the intersection. This, in
mm, may result in disobedience of a full stop by motorists creating a potential safety concern for
other motorists and pedestrians. Motorists on Pine Street may also feel the need to make up for
"lost" time after stopping at the intersection resulting in higher speeds at the midblock. Based on
the existing conditions, 2-way Stop signs are not recommended at this intersection.
At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should be given to
using less restrictive measures such as Yield signs. Yield signs assign right-of-way to traffic
when the normal right-of-way rule appears to not be effective. 3 accidents in the past 2 years
reveal this may be the case. Also, the speed data shows that because of the proximity of the
homes to the intersection, motorists may not have enough time to see other vehicles on the cross
street, react and stop before reaching the intersection. Motorists controlled by Yield signs would
need to slow down before reaching the intersection resulting in a shorter distance to come to a
full stop if necessary. Finally, when installed, Yield signs should be placed on the minor street.
Similar to unwarranted Stop signs, Yield signs on major streets may lead to disobedience by
routine motorists creating a potential safety concern.

Based on the traffic study performed by Staff,
The Village Traffic Engineer recommends:
approval of Yield signs on Pine Street at Shabonee Trail.
Discussion
Traffic Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the report to the Commission.
Commissioner Bencic opened up the discussion to the audience.
Ms. Susan Cozine, 423 S. Pine Street, said that between Route 83 and the park district pool, all
of the intersections along Shabonee Trail are controlled by either Stop or Yield sig-ns except for
Pine Street. Many motorists traveling Shabonee Trail assume Pine Street traffic will stop. She
explained there are many children living near the intersection and there have been recent
accidents.
Chairman Bencic brought the issue back to the Commission.
Commander Dahlberg noted that two of the three accidents involved residents in the
neighborhood. Even though these motorists are aware this is an uncontrolled intersection, it
supports the belief there may be a sight obstruction issue that reduces the reaction time to avoid a
collision.
Commissioner Bjork, seconded by Mr. Bures, moved to approve Yield signs on Pine Street
at Shabonee Trail.
The motion was approved by a vote of 8-0.
COMMISSION ISSUES
Chairman Bencic acknowledged this is Commissioner Beening's last meeting as he is moving to
Indiana. He thanked him for his years of service on the Commission and to the Village. Traffic
Engineer Lawrie presented Commissioner Beening a couple of street name signs with his and his
wife's name on them as a token of the Village's appreciation.
Chairman Bencic. asked each of the Commissioners to consider a new Vice Chairman as
Commissioner Beening is retiring. He asked that they approve a new Vice Chairman at the next
regular meeting.
No other Safety Commission items were brought forth at this time.

DJOURNMENT
With no further business to discuss, the Safety Commission voted 8-0 to adjourn at 8:45 p.m.
upon the motion of Commissioner Keane. Commissioner Tortorello seconded the motion.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT:
SEPTEMBER SAFETY COMMISSION MEETING
TWO-WAY STREET DESIGNATION ALONG MAIN sTREET
The Safety Commission transnfits their recommendation to
approve eliminating the one-way street designation along Main Street between
Route 83 and Lincoln Street and make it a two-way street designation; installing a
Stop sign and No Right Turn sign on southbound Main Street at Lincoln Street;
prohibiting parking on the west side of Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln
Street at all times; and restricting parking to 2 hours on the east side of Main Street
between Route 83 and Lincoln Street.
The block of Main Street between Route 83 and Lincoln Street is currently posted one-way northbound.
Mr. David Baird, 317 S. Main Street, requested to the Village that the block become a two-way street so
that he may have the opportunity to travel south on Main Street to easier access the community. The
dr/veway at 317 S. Main Street has direct access to Main Street. The property to the north has direct
access to Route 83 and the property to the south has direct access to Lincoln Street. Legally, the resident
at 317 S. Main Street must drive northbound when exiting the driveway. At Route 83, the resident can
then only head northbound. This becomes an inconvenience to the resident when the destination is south
of his house. ,'
Th/s issue was discussed at the September 9, 2002 Safety Commission Meeting. Mr. Baird was not in
attendance at the meeting. Commission members agreed this was an inconvenience to the resident. They
also considered other factors should it be recommended to the Village Board that the street become two-
way. First, no action should be taken with any of the signs in the area. In particular, Route 83 traffic
should still not be permitted to turn onto southbound Main Street. Second, with permitting southbound
traffic for the block, a Stop sign and No Right Turn sign should be posted for southbound Main Street at
Lincoln Street. Finally, the current parking restrictions for both sides of the street should be switched.
Signs on the west side currently restrict parking to two hours. Signs on the east side currently prohibit
parking at ail times. Permitting two-way traffic would require vehicles to be facing southbound when
parked on the west side. The Commission members believed this may be confusing as some motorists
would continue to face northbound and park on the west side and others may mm around using the
driveway at 317 S. Main Street and face southbound.
By a vote of 8-0, the Safety Commission recommends to:
repeal the one-~vay northbound street designation for Main Street between Illinois
Route 83 and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2003 of the Village Code)
age two...
September 12, 2002
September Safety Commission
repeal the 2-hour parking restriction along the west side of Main Street between
Route 83 and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2011B of the Village Code)
install a Stop sign for southbound Main Street at Lincoln Street (Section 18.2004A
of the Village Code)
install a No Right Turn sign for southbound Main Street at Lincoln Street (Section
18.2002 of the Village Code)
install 2-hour parking signs along the east side of Main Street between Illinois
Route 83 and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2011B of the Village Code)
install No Parking Any Time signs along the west side of Main Street between
Illinois Route 83 and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
While reviewing the parking restrictions as written in the Village Code, Staff discovered some
irregularities between the identifications of Main Street, Lincoln Street, Oakton Street and Elmhurst
Road as the road is called along Route 83. To clear up the confusion and provide a single name
identification, Staff recommends to repeal the following parking restrictions and replace them with a
single parking restriction:
repeal the no parking restriction along the east and west sides of Elmhurst Avenue
between Golf Road and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
repeal the no parking restriction along the west side of Elmhurst Road between
Golf Road and Oakton Street (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
repeal the no parking restriction along the east and west sides of Elmhurst Road
between Golf Road and Lincoln Street (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
repeal the no parking restriction along the east and west sides of Elmhurst Road
between Kensington Road and Camp McDonald Road (Section 18.2006 of the
Village Code)
repeal the no parking restriction along the east and west sides of Main Street
between Lincoln Street and Kensington Road (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
repeal the no parking restriction along the north and south sides of the entire
jurisdiction of Oakton Street (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)
include a no parking restriction along both sides of Illinois Route 83 for the entire
jurisdiction (Section 18.2006 of the Village Code)

P, luda Y. Allhou
You have asked for my opinion as to whether the Village may prohibit or restrict the
use of Dryvit or EIFS systems for new construction in the Village.
It is my opinion that such restrictions are permissible. It is well within the Village's
home rule powers to set building code standards and prohibit the use of materials which are
either unsafe or inappropriate for our weather conditions. The City of Chicago has long
prohibited the use of PVC piping for any plumbing application. Other communities in the
Chicago area and indeed some entire states ban the use of EIFS or Dryvit systems.
You and I have discussed the possibility of banning such use entirety for residential
applications, but of restricting and closely monitoring its use in commercial applications. Such
a distinction between commercial and residential is permissible.

ARTICLE Il, RULES OF ORDER
During an unrelated review of Chapter 2, Board of Trustees, Article II, Rules of Order, it
was discovered that a conflict existed between two sections of the Code with regard to
where, in the Order of Business, the Consent Agenda item should appear. The
proposed Ordinance amending the Code deletes certain language in 2.201.1 which
would have the Consent Agenda listed between Old and New Business. Section 2.202
provides the correct Order of Business for Village Board Agendas.
Logically, the Consent Agenda should appear prior to Old Business since it is often the
case that second readings of non-controversial Ordinances listed under Old Business
can be disposed of through the Consent Agenda. Staff considers this to be a minor
housekeeping matter.

Other Classifications of Work:
For definitions of classifications not otherwise set out, the
Department generally has on file such definitions which are
available. If there is no such definition on file, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics SIC list will be used. If a task to be performed is
not subject to one of the classifications of pay set out, the
Department will upon being contacted state which neighboring county
has such a classification and provide such rate, such rate being
deemed to exist by reference in this document. Further, if no such
neighboring county rate applies to the task, the Department shall
undertake a special determination, such special determination being
then deemed to have existed under this determination. If a project
requires these, or any classification not listed, please contact IDOL
at 618/993-7271 for wage rates or clarifications.
