VIII. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator:
1. Mr. Czerwinski provided the Board and assemblage with an update on the Alternate Water
Supply Initiative. He noted that William Balling, the Village's consultant in this matter, was also
present this evening.
a. Mr. Czerwinski said that the Village has continued having discussions with Evanston, and has
re-engaged in conversations with Glenview and Wilmette and the Northwest Water Commission
and Aqua Illinois.
VIII.
A. Village Administrator: (continued)
b. Mr. Czerwinski added that the Village has done route studies to find the best configuration for
delivering water, using existing structure. He noted that discussions with Glenview/Wilmette and
Evanston have gone the furthest thus far.
c. The Village's next steps will be to develop a contract with Evanston. To that end, the Village
will need specialized legal and management support resources. The Village will also solicit
proposals to authorize a financial advisor for a "plan of finance." This is a major project, a
"legacy" project, and it is important to have the right plan of finance. Mr. Czerwisnki said there
are a lot of moving parts associated with that—for example, different bonding levels, and also
some opportunities (through the IEPA) for lower -interest loans that need to be considered and
applied for, and everything needs to be completed appropriately. Simultaneously, the Village will
also begin preparation for an Engineering Request For Proposals for Design and Route Study.
The RFP is being developed in-house with staff from Morton Grove and Niles.
d. Mr. Czerwinski said that, in the fall, the priority will be to determine funding for preliminary
engineering and entering into a cost-sharing agreement between Niles and Morton Grove which
will include such things as distance and water quantities. The Village will need to execute an
Engineering Services Contract to develop the route study and 60% of the engineering of the
delivery system. He explained that the contract will specify 60%, because there are always
going to be unexpected nuances, such as a utility problem or property that may need to be
acquired, that can occur. The 60% ensures that the Village will be well on its way to finalizing
the delivery route. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village will review this at various stages—at 10%, at
20%, etc. and can "turn it off' at any time if it doesn't seem to be working out. He said this type
of phased construction would be beneficial, and concurrently, the Village will be working on
applying for a low-interest IEPA loan. Mr. Czerwinski said the process of applying for this type
of loan is arduous and daunting, but well worth the effort if the application is successful.
e. The Village will need to finalize and adopt an agreement with the City of Evanston for water
supply (getting water from Evanston's pumping station) and water purchase at a reasonable
rate. Niles and Morton Grove will work together to develop a Joint Effort Operating Structure
which will cover project construction and financing, as well as ongoing operations.
Mr. Czerwinski wasn't sure if that agreement would be structured as an Intergovernmental
Agreement, the establishment of a Water Commission, or some other option.
f. In late spring of 2017, specific phased construction work (starting at multiple locations) will
begin and permanent financing will be set, with project completion estimated to be late fall of
2018. Mr. Czerwinski said this schedule is somewhat aggressive, but with proper planning and
the right specialists in place, it can work.
Mr. Czerwinski said that a lot of staff time has already gone into this project, between the
Legal Department, Public Works, and General Administration. He said the Village has a strong
partnership with the Village of Niles, and complimented Mr. Balling for "shepherding" the Village
through this process.
h. Trustee Thill asked if the City of Chicago would cut Morton Grove's water supply off.
Mr. Czerwinski assured the Board that the Village has been in communication with the City and
is still paying its water bills to the City. Mayor DiMaria added that this process has been going
on for about two years and Chicago has been involved. This will not be a blindside for Chicago.
The Village has had a lot of communication with the City and the City has been amicable.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
A. Village Administrator: (continued)
i. Trustee Minx asked about the Village's contract with the City.
J.
Minutes of July 25, 2016 Board Meeting
Mr. Czerwinski said the Village does have a contract with the City that expires on December 31,
2018. He said that's why the timeline he outlined is so important, and that's why a phased
construction approach is preferable. The Village of Niles has a contract with the City as well,
but it doesn't expire until the end of 2019.
2. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village has provided notice that its electrical aggregation program
will end. Residents will receive a notice in mid-August from ComEd about this as well.
Mr. Czerwinski said that the program saved residents about $1.8 million over its life. He said,
this year, the savings aren't there, so the Village is opting out. Residents that were participating
in the electrical aggregation program do not need to take any action.
3. Mr. Czerwinski invited everyone to attend the Police Department's "National Night Out" on
Tuesday, August 2nd from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at the Civic Center. The free event includes free
food, entertainment, activities, and giveaways and is a great opportunity for neighbors to meet
and thank our local police officers.
4. Mr. Czerwinski announced that the Community Relations Commission is sponsoring a Village -
wide garage sale in September. He said Clerk Travis would provide more details in her report.
5. Mr. Czerwinski said there would be a Village -wide testing of the Emergency Alert System on
September 6 at 10:OOam. If residents are not already signed up for the mass communication
system, they are encouraged to do so. This will be an annual test. The high speed telephone
communication test will also help to cleanse the Village's database. If there is no response after
multiple efforts, the number will be cleansed from database, which makes the system faster.
6. Mr. Czerwinski encouraged everyone to participate in the Village's summer photo contest to
showcase the Village's new tagline: Incredibly Close. Amazingly Open. All photos must be
submitted by September 9th.
7. Mr. Czerwinski said that targeted adult mosquito spraying would be done by the North Shore
Mosquito Abatement District tomorrow between the hours of 8:OOpm and 2:OOam, weather
permitting.
8. Mr. Czerwinski complimented the Public Works Department for doing a great job of cleaning up
the Village after the severe storms that occurred recently. He added that the Deep Tunnel did
its job, too.
a. Trustee Thill said that there's some digging going on at Austin and Beckwith. Mr. Czerwinski
said there was some damage to the cover there due to the water coming in so fast. It's being
dug up to be repaired.

XI. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee Grear:
1. Trustee Grear presented Resolution 16-49, Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement
By and Among the Village of Glenview, the Village of Niles, and the Village of Morton
Grove For Public Safety Communications Services.
4
XI.
A. Trustee Grear: (continued)
a. Trustee Grear explained that, in 2012, the Village entered into a five-year agreement with the
Village of Glenview for police dispatching services for all 911 and 10 -digit emergency calls.
These calls are currently being routed through the Glenview Public Safety Dispatch Center.
b. Morton Grove has received excellent quality dispatching services during this time, and has seen
cost savings compared to its previous dispatch service provider. Because the current contract
expires on December 31, 2017, staff initiated discussions with the Village of Glenview and the
Village of Niles to extend the dispatch service contract through December 31, 2022.
TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
Minutes of July 25, 2016 Board Meeting
c. As a result of those discussions, Glenview has offered a "freeze" of 2016 rates for 2017 and
2018. Further, the contract will now establish performance standards, require Glenview to
provide general information to Morton Grove residents about public health and safety issues,
allow for quarterly payments, provide a facility alarm monitoring option, and give Morton Grove
the ability to review Glenview's expenses and revenues.
d. Trustee Grear said the contract calls for the cost of services to continue at the 2016 rate
through December 31, 2018. Thereafter will be a cost increase of 3% each year for 2019, 2020,
2021, and 2022. This is a cost savings to Morton Grove of $65,000 for the 2017 fiscal year.
Trustee Grear moved, seconded by Trustee Pietron, to approve Resolution 16-49.

b.
Trustee Grear next presented Resolution 16-50, Authorizing the Execution of a
Professional Services Agreement By and Between the Village of Morton Grove and
True North Consultants, Inc. For Plan Review, Code Enforcement, and Inspectional
Services.
He explained that the Lehigh/Ferris Framework Plan, which was adopted in 2008, identified
Sites 1 and J (parcels bounded by the river/railroad, Dempster Street, Ferris Avenue, and Hen-
nings Court) as priority development sites. In order to facilitate future redevelopment of
these sites, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) requires a separate storm
sewer system to service new development in this area.
Earlier this year, the Board approved a resolution authorizing the Village to enter into a contract
with the Ciorba Group to design this storm sewer system. The proposed route for the new
sewer system traverses the property at 6415 Dempster. The Village had engaged True North
Consultants, Inc. earlier this year to complete Phase!! Environmental Assessments for 6415
Dempster, 8721 Narragansett, 8733 Narragansett, and 8720 Ferris. The Phase 11 Environmen-
tal Assessment for the site at 6415 Dempster indicated some levels of contamination present.
True North has provided a proposal for additional testing for this site in order to better assess
and potentially reduce overall remediation costs.

XI. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
A. Trustee Grear: (continued)
c. Based on True North's familiarity with the site and the satisfactory performance of their previous
work the Village, staff recommends that True North be engaged for this additional work. With
the current proposal, the total compensation to be paid to True North in 2016 will exceed
$20,000, and therefore Board approval is required.

from J.A. Johnson Paving Company, and was $8,175 less than the Engineer's Estimate of Cost.

To approve a final plat of subdivision to allow the owner of 9109 Menard Avenue to subdivide
the existing parcel into two lots, where the new Lot 1 will include the existing single family
residence and the new Lot 2 will be a vacant substandard lot.
Mr. Phil Van Swol, the applicant and owner of 9109 Menard Avenue, is seeking approval to
create a new two lot subdivision. The existing 12,375 sq. ft. subject property is in the R2 Single
Family Residence District and consists of three record lots, which are currently utilized as one
zoning lot. The applicant is proposing to create two new lots at follows: Lot 1 will be 54 ft.
wide and 125 ft. deep, with 6,750 sq. ft. of land area, and Lot 2 will be 45 ft. x 125 ft., with
5,625 sq. ft. of land area. Subdivisions of record created after August 4, 1959, in the R2 District,
must have a minimum lot area of 5,900 sq. ft. (Section 12-4-2:D.1) and a minimum lot width of
50 ft. (Section 12-4-2:D.2). Lot I with the existing single-family residence will comply with the
minimum lot requirements and with the bulk and dimensional control. Lot 2, will be a
substandard lot, with respect to both the lot width and lot area. The Plan Commission reviewed
the proposal at their May 16, 2016 public hearing. During their discussion, the Commissioners
noted this application is strictly for the approval of the subdivision only. Any future
development or redevelopment on these lots will need to comply with current ordinance
requirements, and specifically any proposed development on the substandard lot (Lot 2) will
require approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals per Section 12-15-4 and 12-15-5. Based on the
application, supporting documents and testimony presented, the Pian Commission voted
unanimously (6-0, Dorgan absent) to recommend approval of this final plat of subdivisions with
conditions.

the lot and has now applied for review of this subdivision, with requested waivers. Mr. Van Swol
concluded with a description of the immediate 9109 Menard area as being developed with a
combination of newer and older homes with a majority of the of neighboring homes on 45 ft.
wide lots.
Commissioner Blonz asked the applicant about the existing landscaping, and if the bushes on
the south side of proposed south lot would remain and if there would be any problems with
emergency access. Mr. Van Swol stated he intends to leave the bushes unless there is some
reason in the building process to remove.
Chairperson Farkas then opened the hearing for public comment and two residents spoke.
Barbara Kuzinski, at 9118 Menard, stated her opinion that the proposed subdivided lot is not big
enough to build a house. Ms. Kuzinski also noted her concern regarding potential increased
parking on the block. Arnie Reznick, at 9114 Mango, also voiced concerns of building on a 45 ft.
wide lot. In his opinion, for any new single family development, a garage in the front would
need to be 20 ft. wide which would leave only a 15 ft. facade facing the street. Building a
garage with access to the alley would, in turn, be very difficult for access particularly from
snowplowing in the winter. He noted that in his opinion this lot should not be considered
buildable.
Commissioner Shimanski asked staff if approval of the proposed subdivision would also imply
that the 45 ft. lot is buildable or would new construction on the substandard 45 ft. lot require
approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Argumedo answered that any development on the
new 45 ft. wide lot would still need approval by the Zoning Board of Appeals per Section 12-15-
4 and 12-15-5. He continued that a condition could be added to the ordinance reiterating that
this case and future ordinance is solely for the proposed subdivision and that any future
development must meet Section 12-15-4 and 12-15-5. Terry Liston, Corporation Counsel,
confirmed that the current application is only for the subdivision, and as such, any new single
family development would need to appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals for review, as
the lot width and size would be below code requirements. Ms. Liston further noted that Section
12-15-5 states: "The creation of a non -conforming lot subsequent to the effective date of this
title (which was 2007) or any subsequent amendment shall not entitle the owner of such non-
conforming lot to a building permit as provided elsewhere in the code." Ms. Liston concluded
that the property owner may apply for a building permit for new development, but the owner is
not entitled to it just by a matter of right just by approving the subdivision.
Chairperson Farkas asked if there was any further discussion. With no response, Farkas added
that he was bothered that the applicant's case's was based upon conversation with a Village
Official in 2008. Chairperson Farkas added that there was a statement made that the Village
had provided incorrect information; however, the applicant could have checked the code himself
as that is a public record. Mr. Farkas said he felt this sets a bad precedent that the Village could
be stuck with an incorrect verbal opinion. Chairperson Farkas added he is not asking for a
response, he was just stating his opinion.
Mr, Van Swol asked to be heard and stated that he believed it was well-documented as he
reviewed plans and surveys the Village Planner.
Ms. Liston explained that from a legal standpoint, if a Village employee gives out the wrong
information, it is not binding on the Village.

Plan Commission Board Report - June 22, 2016
PC #16-02: 9109 Menard
With this clarification from staff, Commissioner Shimanski stated that the case before the
Commission is just the first step in getting approval for a subdivision, any consideration of
future development cannot occur before a subdivision is approved. Ms. Liston added that the
code per Section 12-2-2:A states you cannot build two homes on one lot, and right now this is
considered one lot. In order for any potentia/ development to occur, such a subdivision
application must be approved, but that does not guarantee that any development will be
approved.
Commissioner Shimanski moved to approve Case PC16-02, 9109 Menard, request for
recommendation of approval for a Subdivision at 9109 Menard Avenue with waivers to lot width
and area in accordance with Section 12-8 of the Unified Development Code (Ordinance 07-07)
1. The subdivision shall be recorded in accordance with all materials submitted with the
application in accordance to Section 12-8-3.
2. The owner and successive ownership shall be duly notified through a recorded deed that
any future development on each lot shall correspond to existing unified development
code.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Blonz.
The motion passed unanimously (6-0, Dorgan Absent)

of the Unified Development Code (Ordinance 07-07).
Commission Report
Public Notice
The Village of Morton Grove provided Public Notice for the June 20, 2016 Plan Commission
public hearing for PC 16-04 in accordance with the Unified Development Code. The Pioneer
Press published the public notice on June 2, 2016, and the Village notified surrounding property
owners via mail on June 4, 2016 and placed a public notice sign on the subject property on
June 10, 2016.
Overview of the Application
The applicant, Mr. Gabriel Varga, proposes to subdivide an existing 15,104 sq. ft. parcel, which
is 128 ft. wide and 118 ft. deep, into two new 7,552 sq. ft. lots, each with a width of 64 ft. The
subject property is currently improved with a single family residence. The existing residence
would be demolished in order to build two new single family residences on the newly created
lots. The property is in the R2 Single Family Residence District.
The R2 zoning district regulations state that subdivisions of record after August 4, 1959 must
have a minimum lot area of 5,900 sq. ft. (Section 12-4-2:D.1) and a minimum lot width of 50 ft.
(Section 12-4-2:D.2). For this proposed subdivision, each of the proposed lots would comply
with the minimum lot area and lot width requirements.
June 20, 2016 Public Hearing
Mr. Dominick Argumedo, Zoning Administrator/Land-Use Planner, introduced the case and
summarized the Plan Commission staff report dated June 14, 2016, which was entered, in its
entirety, into the public record. (Attachment 1)
James Kubik, an attorney and relative of Mr. Varga represented the applicant at the public
hearing. Mr. Kubik explained that Mr. Varga intends to subdivide the existing lot to build a
single family residence on each new subdivided lot. He believes that the new homes will add to
the character and value of the existing neighborhood and reiterates that the proposed
subdivision meets the standards for new lots in the R2 zoning district. Mr. Kubik added that the
existing property at 7915 Foster Avenue is in disrepair and was acquired through an estate sale.
Mr. Vargas is anxious to demolish the existing structure and begin to make improvements to
the properties.
Commissioner Farkas inquired of staff if the subdivision is by -right. Nancy Radzevich,
Community and Economic Development Director, answered that the while the subdivision meets
the minimum lot area and lot width requirements and the Plan Commission is charged with
reviewing the subdivision against the standards for Subdivisions, per the Unified Development
Code.
Commissioner Farkas asked staff where Minor Subdivision is located in Chapter 8 of Title 12.
Dominick Argumedo clarified that Minor Subdivision is defined in Chapter 17 "Definitions" of the
Unified Development Code and then referenced in the Subdivision Regulations (Chapter 8).
Chairperson Farkas asked if there was anyone else present that wanted to be heard. There was
no response. Chairperson Farkas then asked if there were any further comments from the
Commission. Hearing none, Farkas asked for a motion to approve this case.
Commissioner Blonz moved to approve Case #PC16-04, a request to subdivide 7915 Foster
Street into two new lots, each with 64 ft. of lot width and 118 ft. of lot depth, with the following
conditions:
1. The Final Recorded Plat of Subdivision shall be in accordance with:
a. Foster Place Resubdivision, prepared by Morris Engineering, dated 5/5/16
2. The applicant shall not record the Final Plat of Subdivision in the Cook County recorder of
deeds office until they have complied with all relevant requirements of Chapter 8 of the
Unified Development Code and have provided the Village of evidence of such compliance.
Commissioner Gillespie seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously (5-0, Khan and Shimanski Absent)

Plan Commission Review & Final Determination
Per the Unified Development Code Section 12-17-1: "...Any subdivision fronting on an existing
street, not involving any new street or road, that cannot result in more than two (2) buildable
lots...." is defined as a Minor Subdivision . A minor subdivision does not require submission or
approval of a preliminary plat of survey, "...but shall still be reviewed before the Plan
Commission with a subsequent recommendation forwarded to the Board of Trustees for final
determination." (Section 12-8-1:C)

Plan Commission Review Standards
To recommend a subdivision a proposal must meet the following standards per Section 12-16-
4.D.3:
a. Orderly Development: The proposed subdivision will encourage orderly and harmonious
development within the village. The proposed minor subdivision would result in two
compliant lots for single family residential development within the R2 Single Family
zoning district. Although the properties immediately to the east and west and to the
north are larger lots, comparable to the existing 7915 Foster property, the proposed
subdivision is consistent with most of the other properties in this block — particularly the
7 lots further west along Foster and all of the properties to the south (fronting Wilson
Terrace).
b. Coordination Of Street:: The streets within the proposed subdivision will coordinate with
other existing and planned streets within the village. The proposed minor subdivision
would not result in any additional streets and would utilize Foster Street for ingress and
egress access.
c. Coordination Of Utilities: The utilities within the proposed subdivision will coordinate
with existing and planned utilities, and create a uniform system of utilities within the
village. The new residences developed on the two new lots will tie into the utilities
within the public right of way and/or on site. The applicant and/or developer will be
required to file complete architectural and engineering and utility plans, in accordance
with the Village Codes, prior to the issuance of any building permits.
d. Consistency With Comprehensive Plan: The proposed subdivision will be evaluated
based on its consistency with the overall land use policies of the village as may be
expressed in the village's comprehensive plan. The proposed minor subdivision would
result in lots compliant with code requirements for subdivided lots within the R2 Single
Family Residential District and will be of a consistent size to many of the existing lots
within this block and neighborhood.

August 8, 2016
This resolution will authorize the Village President to execute a contract with Path
Construction Company, Inc. to make concrete repairs to the Beckwith Road bridge over the
North Branch of the Chicago River.
A 2015 bridge inspection itemized needed repairs on the Beckwith Road bridge. Expansion
joint replacement, approach slab replacement and pier repairs were included in the list of
needed repairs. Public Works staff budgeted $120,000 for expansion joint replacements in
2016. The contract authorized by Resolution 16-44 was $62,000 and the engineering cost
is estimated to cost $18,000 leaving an anticipated budget surplus of $40,000. It is
therefore practical for the Village to utilize the budgeted funds in order to balance multi-
year funding levels with the amount of time elapsed to make needed repairs. A project was
subsequently developed to repair the deteriorated areas of the approach slabs and one pier
to an extent that would fit the budget and provide value to the Village. The contract was
then bid through a public process in accordance with the Village's Municipal Code. The
contract was advertised and sealed bids were received with the bid tabulation as shown on
the attached Exhibit "A". This contract must conform to the requirements of the Prevailing
Wage Act. The proposal price from the lowest bidder (Path Construction Company) is
$28,800.00
Public Works.
The estimated contract value is $28,800.00. Since this is a unit price contract, the final
contract amount will be based on the actual quantity of work performed.
