He also encouraged residents be given follow -up data regarding activity related to solving the reported crime; arrest of suspects. Stating community safety is a shared concern, Mayor Juracek thanked Mr. Weisser for his comments and asked Deputy Chief Wagner to respond to the questions. Deputy Chief Wagner provided an update on the recent burglaries. He stated that while the Police Department has instituted additional residential patrols, the eyes and ears of the community are a primary resource for alerting the police to suspicious activity. Deputy Chief Wagner emphasized residents should never hesitate to call 9 -1 -1 to report suspicious activity. He added the Police Department utilizes facebook and twitter in addition to the Village's web site to keep residents informed; residents can also contact Crime Prevention Officer Greg Sill, Crime Prevention Unit with questions. Regarding the occurrence of criminal activity, Deputy Chief Wagner stated the numbers are down; more criminal activity to the east of the Village. Mayor Juracek noted the Village does as much as it can, including regular communication with other law enforcement agencies; these coordinated efforts led to the arrests of those individuals responsible for a string of earlier burglaries. Mayor Juracek also strongly encouraged residents to call 9 -1 -1. Mr. Leonard Zack 1650 Greenbriar Drive Mr. Zack asked if there was a relationship between the burglaries and the pawnshop located at Busse and Central Roads. Trustee Hoefert noted the pawnshop in question is not located in Mount Prospect but Arlington Heights; there are no pawnshops in Mount Prospect. Trustee Rogers stated he was the Chair of the Planning and Zoning (P & Z) Commission when a request to locate a pawnshop in Mount Prospect was brought before the P & Z Commission. He stated the heavy regulations and careful scrutiny by the Village make it almost impossible for a pawnshop to locate in Mount Prospect. Deputy Chief Wagner stated police department detectives make routine visits to pawnshops; maintain a check and balance of inventory and reported stolen goods. Relating the recent break -in at his home Trustee Korn encouraged residents to keep their doors locked at all times - day or night even if you are in your own backyard. Trustee Polit stated the information provided by Deputy Chief Wagner is available under the Police Department in the Village's budget; budget is on the Village's web site.

Mr. Mike Simonds, Menards, was in attendance to provide additional information and respond to questions from the Village Board. Mayor Juracek stated the first item to be discussed would be the request for parking Variation. Mr. Simonds provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board regarding the request to reduce the number of parking spaces. -Currently 489 parking spaces; includes Aldi parking. -Conducted parking studies at comparable Menards locations; parking demand never reached 200. Menards is comfortable with 200 parking spaces but designated 293 spaces. -if Menards leaves and additional parking is needed — the garden center and lumber yard would come down; 600 additional parking spaces. -Designated parking for employees would probably be near garden center; perimeter of property. -If Menards doesn't provide adequate parking will lose customers. Village Board Comments - Parking -Concern there will not be enough parking — if this Menards is off the charts will need additional parking; need to think about availability of additional parking. -Concern with further reduction of parking; currently 339 parking spaces. 7of12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the August 6, 2013 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect -Need parking for 50 employees reduces customer parking to 250 spaces; will employees start parking in neighborhoods. Impact on surrounding neighborhoods. -Why build bigger store and then reduce parking; impact on sales tax. -Make a condition to prohibit outdoor sales. -Not as concerned about parking; need to look at nature of use when comparing square footage of stores with different uses; variations in density, parking requirements and product layout. -Yet to see Menards parking lot full — doesn't see a parking issue with reduced spaces. -Storm water management — two (2) ponds and underground storage. Conducted study of storm water on -site; engineers confident Menards meets Village Code. ■72 " -96" pipes for underground storage. As there were no further comments regarding the request for parking variation, Mayor Juracek opened discussion of the variations to increase the lighting at the property. Mr. Simonds reviewed the Photometric Site plan — identified the hot spots including those in front of the main entrance and formula used for uniformity ratios. He stated Menards has hired two (2) consultants to attain compliance with Village lighting code. Consultants have indicated there is no way to meet Village requirements. Menards put best foot forward to try and meet code. Added and relocated poles to address lighting issues; not intended to be cost - savings measure. Village Board Comments — Lighting -Light spillage onto streets makes sense; problem with lighting near Kohls and Hobby Lobby. -Mount Prospect — moving to dark sky community; move from bright lighting to cut -off lighting. -Hot spot lighting acceptable but not comfortable with entire parking lot. -Targeted lighting ■Fixtures /lamination go hand in hand. -Consistency with parking lot light requirements; maintain standards for all developers. -Staff is considering having brighter lights at intersections; but Village has rules. -There are companies that can design lighting to meet Village Code; consult with surrounding businesses. -Issues with uniformity and illumination levels. Mr. Cooney stated the maximum and minimum levels impact uniformity. He also indicated he was unaware Menards consultants could not meet Village lighting code. Village Board Comments - Concerns -Outstanding concerns regarding proposed parking — need assurance of on -site employee parking. -Removed parking to put above ground retention; parking still a major issue. Reduce retention ponds and add more underground retention to get parking back. -May need to reconsider landscaping plan to get more parking. -Village Board has shown support for development; need commitment from Menards that back area between Menards and residential properties will be maintained. -Maintenance of underground retention area; spills into Harvest Heights detention area. Assistant Village Manager Dave Strahl stated in a recent on -site visit the property looked maintained; could have been better, brush needed to be picked up. Need to confirm responsibility of fence between Menards and homeowners. (Mr. Simonds indicated Menards installed the fence on residents property with an agreement that resident's would maintain.) Mayor Juracek stated the ordinance would be held for a second (2nd) reading at the August 20, 2013 meeting. At that time there will be discussion of the following items: 1) Lighting - Mr. Simonds to work with Community Development to provide more information. 2) Parking — additional assurance that proposed parking is adequate. 3) Commitment from Menards to maintain rear property. 4) Storm water detention - Mr. Cooney to make sure Menards assumption regarding adequacy for storm water management is consistent with Public Works. 8of12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the August 6, 2013 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect 5) Parking lot — consideration of adding condition to ordinance prohibiting further removal of parking spaces for outdoor sales. AMEND CHAPTER E. 1 St reading of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Village Code of Mount 18 (TRAFFIC) Prospect Mayor Juracek presented for a first (1 reading an Ordinance Amending Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Village Code. This ordinance amends Section 18.2009A, "Schedule IX — Parking During School Hours," Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Village Code, to prohibit stopping, standing, parking along the eastside of Burning Bush Lane between Cree Lane and Burr Oak Drive on school days from 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. The Transportation Safety Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of 5 -4. Public Works Traffic Engineer Matt Lawrie provide background information and the recommendation of the Transportation Safety Commission. St. Thomas Becket Church contacted the Village with concerns of cut through traffic in their parking lot by school related vehicles. Church officials also stated it is difficult for parishioners to exit their driveways with vehicles parked on the east side of Burning Bush Lane during the school day. The Engineering Division observed traffic during multiple school days and noted other traffic related issues. The Engineering Division and Police Department then discussed all issues with the principal of Indian Grove Elementary School. To enhance traffic and pedestrian safety at the school, the school formally requested parking be prohibited during school hours along the east side of Burning Bush Lane between Cree Lane and the church's north driveway; eight (8) on- street parking spaces. In addition to improving pedestrian /traffic, Engineering staff believe the parking prohibition will reduce the cut - through traffic in the church parking lot. St. Thomas Becket also supported the proposed parking restrictions on Burning Bush. The traffic /parking issue and staff recommendation were presented at the July 8, 2013 Transportation Safety Commission meeting. All Commission members supported the school's request and the Engineering Division's recommendation to prohibit parking during school hours along the east side of Burning Bush Lane. However, some of the Commission members believed the entire block should have signs that prohibit parking during school hours. Those members contend it may be difficult for some neighborhood motorists to maneuver around the line of vehicles waiting on the street at the school parking lot and then move back into the travel lane before reaching the four (4) parked vehicles near Burr Oak Drive. There was also concern that students may still not cross the street at the Burr Oak crosswalk should the four (4) on- street parking spaces remain. By a vote of 5 -4, the Transportation Safety Commission recommended the following: prohibit stopping, standing, parking along the east side of Burning Bush Lane between Cree Lane and Burr Oak Drive on school days from 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. Mr. Lawrie stated the Indian Grove principal was unable to attend the meeting but had submitted a letter in support of staff's recommendation to prohibit parking during school hours along the east side of Burning Bush Lane; limiting the restriction to eight (8) parking spaces between Cree and the church's parking lot not extending the prohibition to Burr Oak. Mr. Lawrie provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board: -Staff opinion — 100 feet is sufficient distance to get back into traffic lane. -Student safety — active participation of crossing guards. -Percentage of students riding the bus is down due to change in bussing policy; more parents dropping off. -Technically Burning Bush is not wide enough for two travel lanes; double yellow that runs length of center lane works well without stripping. Village Board Comments -Including the prohibition on the four (4) additional parking spaces; a safety measure. 9of12 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the August 6, 2013 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect -Support staff recommendation; incumbent on school and crossing guards to have students /parents cross at walk. -Support extending to Burr Oak — monitor /re- evaluate. -If you leave the parking spaces open- people will still go around. -Parents will park, stand or stop in through lane. ■ Drop- off /pick -up is problematic at all schools — schools trying to do best. -Traffic issues at schools — result of change in school district's bussing policies. More parents driving — creating dangerous situation. -School Districts need to address issue; how to manage more students arriving in cars -Interim approach will relieve current issue — whether regulations are for eight (8) or twelve (12) parking spaces. -Village Board not going to create universal answer. In response to questions from the Village Board, Village Manager Janonis provided the following: -Traffic safety issues near school created by parent's behavior; traffic issues drop -off and pick- up. -School opens August 21 — if Village Board does not act tonight — Village Manager could use emergency powers to put restrictions in place to address safety. -School District Superintendent is fine with recommendations of the Transportation Safety Commission. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Rogers, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2) readings of an ordinance. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Korn, Polit, Rogers, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried.

GOLFVIEW ESTATES Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information including the bid process DRAINAGE and staff recommendation.

The Golfview Estates Drainage Project reestablishes a consistent flow line to both improve the drainage of the ditches and to eliminate the water ponding in the ditches. The Engineer's estimate for the project was $150,880.00 Eight (8) contractors submitted bids for this project. The low bid of $104,235.00 was submitted by LIFCO Contractors, Inc. LIFCO has previously completed work within the Village; all work has been satisfactory.

SEALING Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information including the bid process and staff recommendation The brick paver contract is for the sealing of brick pavers in the downtown streetscape area. Sealing of the bricks extends the life expectancy of the brick walk and facilitates cleaning. The life expectancy of the sealant is five (5) to seven (7) years and currently all brick walks are scheduled to be sealed on a six (6) year cycle. Four (4) bids were received; the low bid of $54,500.00 was submitted by Midwest Brickpaving, Inc. Midwest Brickpaving, Inc. has previously completed work within the Village; all work has been satisfactory. The Village budget for this project is $75,000.00. As this year's bid unit prices are less than anticipated and the low bid is less than the budgeted amount, staff recommend the Village take advantage of the lower than anticipated unit prices and include additional work up to the budgeted amount of $75,000.00. (Allows Village to have catch -up work completed; when funding was not available.)
