Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the December 17, 2013
Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect
-Took before and after photos of the golf (before and after snow); photo shopped how netting
would be shown on course. Illustrate how layer of trees would shield netting.
-Mr. Kuhs was on -site at the golf course to answer questions.
-Village staff was given sample of netting; (Village Board given sample during meeting.)
Mr. Green provided a summary of the MPPD's planning process and objectives for the
proposed driving range and associated safety features. He stated the primary goal was to have
a driving range that would accommodate all groups; an area that could be used for both practice
and warm -up in a safe manner.
Members of the Village Board posed several questions to the petitioner including:
-Motivation for driving range?
■ Number of trees to be removed?
-Type and color of poles netting; least visible?
-Longevity/maintenance of netting and poles?
-Spacing between poles?
• Landscape plans?
-Increased traffic in residential area - adequate parking?
-If conditional use is not approved — does the MPPD have an alternate plan?
In addition to the questions, Trustee Matuszak provided a photograph he recently took of the
netting at Glenbard South High School; illustrated the unsightly appearance of the netting and
poles without landscape screening. Trustee Matuszak questioned whether there had been any
discussion with the residential neighbors regarding landscape plans.
The Petitioner and representatives responded to the questions from the Village Board.
-Motivation for driving range — provide appropriate space for people using course and youth to
practice. Enhance golf lesson program and youth golf. Increase revenue is low on list for
expansion.
Citizens' advisory committee indicated residents wanted driving range to remain at golf course;
original plan to relocate to Melas Park was no longer considered optimal.
-Number of trees to be removed — approximately twenty (20) plus trees will be removed;
primarily cluster of trees right side of 18 fairway.
-Steel or wood poles can be used; recommending wood poles with black netting. 1) black
netting less visible; blend in with tree line. 2) Final spacing of poles yet to be determined —
still need to do soil testing; may use fewer poles than indicated. 3) netting specialists
recommend leaving netting up year round; 4) netting can be patched but typically life is 7 —
10 years.
-Landscape plans — MPPD sensitive to aesthetic concerns of Village Board and neighbors; 1)
plan includes fast growing trees to shield netting and 2) $100,000 funding for new
landscaping.
-Parking — over last ten (10) years reduction in usage of golf course; no issue with parking when
at higher usage. The modernization of golf course for sustainability. Do not anticipate any
increased traffic or parking issue with driving range. Statistically golfers do not drive a
significant distance simply to use driving range.
As part of the variation for tent display the MPPD must provide plat of consolidation;
consolidation of the lot creates additional parking.
-Conditional Use — if the request for Conditional Use is not approved the MPPD will need to re-
evaluate plans; no plan B already have looked at Plan B and others.
Mayor Juracek stated the request for Conditional Use is a zoning issue; community
considerations — safety and aesthetics. MPPD does not need Village approval for removal of
trees. Parking will resolve itself; if parking not available golfers will go somewhere else.
Mayor Juracek stated the Village has received additional input from residents both pro and con
regarding the request for Conditional Use; all emails are on record. The meeting was then
opened for public comment.

AND MUNICIPAL
PURPOSES 2013 Mr. Erb stated the abatement ordinance reduces a portion of the Series 2009C and 2013 debt
service tax levies established by its bond ordinance. The abatement of the 2009C levy is the
result of issuing these bonds as Build America Bonds (BAB).
The BAB's provide a federal subsidy of the interest paid on the bonds to the issuer which lowers
the overall cost of borrowing. Funds to abate the Series 2013 levy will come from the home rule
sales tax dedicated to support flood control projects.

• When General Fund is back; Village finances will stabilize.

NEW BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS
A. An ordinance amending Chapter 13 entitled "Alcoholic Liquors" of the Village Code of Mount
AMEND CHAPTER Prospect.
13, "ALCOHOLIC
LIQUORS" OF THE Mayor Juracek presented for a first (1 reading An ordinance amending Chapter 13 entitled
VILLAGE CODE "Alcoholic Liquors" of the Village Code of Mount Prospect. This ordinance amends Articles I, II,
III and IV of the Chapter 13, "Alcoholic Liquors" of the Village Code regarding licensing, sale and
services of alcoholic beverages. Mayor Juracek provided background information regarding
the proposed amendments as presented and discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting;
November 26, 2013. Discussion included changes to the five (5) major areas: 1) Bring your
own bottle service (BYOB), designated as Corkage Service 2) Bottle service at banquet halls 3)
Service at barbershops, beauty shop, spa and cosmetic establishments 4) Consolidation of
various special permits into a single ad hoc temporary permit classification and 5) Due process.
Since the November 26 COW meeting further revisions were made; changes highlighted in
red -line version of draft ordinance.
-Definitions - Cosmetic Facility. Definition added; includes language "cosmetic facilities" shall
not include massage establishments.
-Section 13.203.610. — modified to reflect the principal(s) and manager(s) of an establishment
must complete Basset training in a classroom if the principal(s) of an establishment has
never held a liquor license.
Mayor Juracek also noted the scrivener's error on page 11; Class S -6 Spa License should be
Class S -6 Cosmetic License.
Trustee Hoefert reiterated the requirement for Basset Training for cosmetic facilities; he has
heard the serving of alcohol may already be occurring at some locations. He cautioned This
type of activity without the proper training and insurance places tremendous liability on the
facility. While not supportive of over regulation HE believes regulation of service of alcohol is
important; Village regulating in responsible manner.
Mayor Juracek added service of alcohol is limited to two (2) glasses.
Trustee Matuszak stated the expansion of alcohol for this line of business is a good step;
understands this is a very popular feature offered to customers. Regulation allows businesses
to move forward with acceptable opportunities to expand customer base.
Mayor Juracek stated she had received only one (1) phone call against this provision. She
noted cosmetic facilities are not required to serve alcohol; market choice.
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Village will conduct a mandatory seminar regarding
liquor code. In response to questions regarding insurance, Manager Janonis stated applicants
will need to provide proof of dram shop insurance to the Village before obtaining a liquor license
and must attend the mandatory seminar.
Mayor Juracek stated there is a tremendous amount of detail associated with the application
process and issuance of a liquor license. Mayor Juracek recognized and thanked Administrative
Assistant Doreen Jarosz for her experience and expertise in the development of the liquor code
modifications. Ms. Jarosz administers the liquor licensing process and issuance of licenses;
she will coordinate the mandatory meeting for applicants.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Korn, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2)
