VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only)
James Beuwer. Mr. Beuwer of American Taxi spoke regarding Ordinance 08-15, the
proposed taxi fare rate increase ordinance. He said that when American Taxi had first
approached the Village about a fare rate increase, the price of gas was between $3.12 and
$3.18 per gallon. Last week it was $3.50 per gallon; today it's $3.95 per gallon. Because of
this, he was asking that the ordinance be amended to provide for a rate increase to $2.20. He
also requested that the Village remove references to specific rates. He said that only Skokie,
Morton Grove, and Evanston have specific rates noted in their ordinances. Mr. Beuwer was
asking that they be removed and let the "competitive market" decide what the rates should be.
Melinda Mumford. Ms. Mumford spoke regarding Ordinance 08-18 (revoking the Special Use
Permit for the property at 6415 and 6421 Dempster, and 8717 Lincoln). She felt the property
should be considered for "mixed units": She also felt that the five areas highlighted at the last
meeting, the areas where the higher density will be allowed, should be used for senior/mixed-
generational housing. She said she's had some very positive experiences with that.
VII.
Appointments
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
a. Mayor Krier asked for concurrence with two appointments to the Natural Resources Commis-
sion. Both Sharon Erickson and Sylvia Jurians had been recommended by the Chairperson,
Mary Bush. Trustee Thill moved to concur with these appointments, seconded by Trustee
Minx. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote.
Proclamatibns
b. Mayor Krier then proclaimed June 7, 2008 as "Lin-Mar Motors Day" in honor of this family-
owned and operated business' 50t" anniversary in the Village. He commended Ron Lundin,
owner, for his many activities in the community, stating that, "Besides being a business owner
in Morton Grove, Ron also lives here, and his is one of the first businesses to always step up
to improve the quality of life in Morton Grove." Mayor Krier and the Board congratulated the
members of the Lundin family in attendance.
c. Mayor Krier also proclaimed the week of May 11 through. May 17, 2008, as "Police Week" in
the Village. He noted that Congress and the President have designated May 15 as "Peace Of-
ficers Memorial Day", and the week in which it falls as "Police Week". Mayor Krier said that it
~~:
VII.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT (continued)
is important that all citizens know and understand the problems, duties, and responsibilities of
their police department, and that members of the Village's police department recognize their
duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property. Mayor Krier said the Morton Grove
Police Department has grown to be a modern and progressive law enforcement agency which
constantly provides a vital public service. He called upon all residents to observe May 15 as
"Peace Officers Memorial Day", and to commemorate police officers, past and present, who,
by theirfaithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities, have rendered a dedicated service
to the Village.
VIII.
CLERK'S REPORT
Clerk Fritzshall had no formal report but noted that the Commission on Aging would be meet-
ing tomorrow at 1:00 p. m. She also announced an upcoming Senior Information Forum that
would be held on May 22 between 1:00 and 2:30 p.m. at the Senior Center. Representatives
from area senior service agencies will be present to answer any questions about entitlement
programs, such as respite services, circuit breaker, caregiver services, and other programs,
such as senior protective services and advanced care directives. It's also an opportunity to
learn about all the senior services offered through the State and Federal government. There is
no charge to attend, but interested potential attendees must register at the Senior Center in
advance of the forum.
IX.
A. Village Administrator
STAFF REPORTS
a. Mr. Wade reminded the Board that the meeting scheduled for May 26, 2008, was cancelled
due to the Memorial Day holiday.
b. Mr. Wade announced that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) would begin work
this week on the Waukegan Road Interconnect project, which will ultimately improve traffic
flow. Work will be ongoing through the end of July and will involve temporary lane closures.
B. Corporation Counsel:
Ms. Liston had no report.
X. TRUSTEES'REPORTS
A. Trustee Brunner:
Trustee Brunner presented Resolution 08-35, Authorizing an Application For an
Execution of a Public Transportation Capital Assistance Grant Under the Illinois
Department of Transportation's (IDOT) General Authority to Make Such Grants.
Trustee Brunner explained that this Resolution will authorize the Village Administrator to com-
plete and file an application with IDOT to receive a Public Transportation Capital Assistance
Grant for the capital cost of providing elderly and disable specialized paratransit services.
~,:

A. Trustee Brunner: (continued)
TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
The grant will help the Village obtain funds to purchase a bus for seniors and disabled
persons at little or no cost. The passage of this Resolution is a prerequisite from IDOT to be
considered for and receive grant funds. The Village could save approximately $60,000 on the
purchase of a new bus with this grant.
Trustee Brunner said there will be a Public Hearing on this matter on May 20; 2008, at
1:00 p.m. at the Civic Center. Appropriate notice has been given to the local newspapers
as well
Trustee Brunner moved to approve Resolution 08-35, seconded by Trustee Marcus. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.
Tr. Brunner a}L Tr. Kogstad ~ Tr. Marcus ~e
Tr. Minx ~ Tr. Staackmann ~ Tr. Thill
Trustee Brunner commented that the Village will be receiving the new bus it had previously
applied for on May 30. It's a 2008 Chevy 6.6 LT Eldorado 22-passenger bus. The cost for
that bus was $81,747, of which 80°/o was paid by the Federal Government and 20% paid by
the State of Illinois-the Village of Morton Grove paid nothing. She thanked Senior Services
Director Jackie Walker-O'Keefe and Village Administrator Wade for all their hard work on the
Village's paratransit efforts.
2• Next, Trustee Brunner presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-17, Amending Title 8,
Chapter 9, of the Village of Morton Grove Municipal Code to Incorporate by Reference
the Smoke-Free Illinois Act.
She explained that, on July 23, 2007, the State of Illinois adopted the Smoke-Free Illinois Act.
This ordinance will adopt by reference that Act and will allow violations of it to be enforced
pursuant to the Village's local adjudicafion hearing system. Trustee Brunner said that, be-
cause this is already an Illinois law, Corporation Counsel Liston was recommending that the
second reading be waived and that this ordinance be acted upon tonight.
Trustee Brunner moved, seconded by Trustee Minx, to waive the second reading of
Ordinance 08-17. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 1 nay.

X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
C. Trustee Marcus:
Trustee Marcus presented Ordinance 08-15, Amending Title 4, Chapter 12L Entitled
"Public Passenger Vehicles" of the Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove.
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
Trustee Marcus explained that this will update the Village's regulations of taxis and adjust
approved taxi rates to be consistent with surrounding communities. Among other changes, the
fare rate will be increased to $2.00 per mile and the flat rate between O'Hare and any location
in the Village will be $25.00. The senior citizen/disabled person discount will continue, and
limitation on the number of taxis which can be licensed within the Village will be removed.
Trustee Marcus said that there were several amendments he wanted to make to the actual
ordinance. In Section 4.12L.7, item 7, he wanted the flat rate numbers changed to reflect a
fare of $24 west of Waukegan Road and $25 east of Waukegan Road, rather than $26 and
$25, respectively. He said that American Taxi has no objections to this. Trustee Marcus
moved to amend the ordinance to so state, seconded by Trustee Minx. Motion passed:
6 ayes, 0 nays.
Tr. Brunner ~ Tr. Kogstad ~ Tr. Marcus ave
Tr. Minx aye Tr. Staackmann a~ Tr. Thill ave
Trustee Marcus moved to approve Ordinance 08-15 as amended. Trustee Brunner seconded
the motion.
Trustee Marcus then asked Mr. Beuwer to reiterate his requested changes. Mr. Beuwer said
he'd like the meter rate increased from $2.00 to $2.20. Mayor Krier said that is covered under
Section 4.12L.7, item 2. He pointed out that this would be a 40-cent rate increase from the
current rate.
Trustee Thill asked, if the rate went to $2.20 and the price of gas went down, would the $2.20
rate go down. Mr. Beuwer said it would not, unless it was written into the ordinance that way.
Trustee Marcus asked about the rates in Skokie. Mr. Beuwer said that Skokie's flat rate to
O'Hare is $26 with a $1 fuel surcharge and their meter rate is $2.00. He said he has not yet
approached Skokie or Evanston to request rate increases, but he will be. He noted that
Lincolnwood's rate is the same as Chicago's. American Taxi tries to keep its rates consistent
in the area. Trustee Marcus asked about the competitive market. Mr. Beuwer felt it was the
best way to go and said American Taxi enjoys competing. Trustee Marcus made the point that
deregulation isn't always the best thing for the consumer.
Trustee Minx asked for an example of a competitive rate in another Village. Mr. Beuwer said
they try to keep the rates consistent in the area; it's easier for the passenger and the driver.
Trustee Minx asked what the rate is in Glenview and in Niles. He said that Glenview's rate is
$26, east of Waukegan it's $27.1n Niles, the rate is $22.
Trustee Marcus said he understood Mr. Beuwer's concerns but said he'd like to leave Morton
Grove's rate at $2.00, rather than jump into $2.20 without doing any research. Mr. Beuwer
said that he could always come back and ask for the $2.20 later.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
Mayor Krier noted that verbiage has also been added in regarding no additional charge for any
extra passenger who is over 65 or has a disability.
Mayor Krier called for the vote on the motion to adopt Ordinance 08-15 as amended.
Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.
Tr. Brunner aye Tr. Kogstad awe Tr. Marcus aye
Tr. Minx aye Tr. Staackmann aye Tr. Thill aye
Trustee Marcus thanked American Taxi for their service in the Village and for the courtesies
they extend to our seniors and disabled residents.
D. Trustee Minx:
Trustee Minx presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-18, An Ordinance Revoking the
Special Use Amendment for the Property Located at 6415 Dempster, 6421-6457
Dempster, and 8717 Lincoln Avenue, and to Rescind an Extension of Time to
Commence and Proceed with Construction of a Planned Unit Development.
She explained that that this ordinance will allow for the revocation of an amendment to the
Special Use Permit approving a planned unit development for this site which allowed for a
time extension for the progression of construction. No financing has been secured and no
construction schedule has been created, which is the reason the Village is considering this
revocation.
Mayor Krier said he wanted to highlight two things: the. next Board meeting is June 9 so it'll be
almost a month before action is taken on this, unless a motion to waive the second reading is
made and approved. Also, the Village has received a letter from the development group
requesting an extension, unless anyone tonight makes any changes.
Trustee Thill noted that Mr. Kropp was in the audience and wondered if he would be allowed
to speak to the Board. Mayor Krier said that Mr. Kropp was certainly welcome to speak under
"Residents' Comments". Trustee Thill asked, if the Board revoked the Special Use
amendment, what would become of the property. Mayor Krier said it would just mean that the
building that was approved for that property by the Special Use would no longer be approved.
What happens to the property will be up to the owners.
2~ Trustee Minx next presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-22, Amending Titles 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 of the Village of Morton Grove Code by Removing the Individual
Fines and Establishing a Fine Section.
Trustee Minx explained that, in 2007, Village staff began to review the Village's fines and pen-
alties in an effort to determine if they were consistent with State statute and other municipali-
ties' fees and fines. Staff determined that the Village's fines and fees required an increase in
the general penalty and other specific fines to be consistent with other towns. Staff also felt
that placement of all the fines in one section of the Municipal Code would allow for a more
efficient review of such fines and penalties by Village staff, the Village's adjudication system,
,,..
X.
D. Trustee Minx: (continued)
TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
and by residents and businesses. This ordinance also grants the Village Administrator the
authority to enter into stipulated settlements for violations which are settled prior to the
designated hearing date. The stipulated settlement for parking tickets shall be $10 if paid
prior to the initial due date on the citation, $15 if paid after the initial due date but prior to the
administrative hearing, and $20 if paid on the date of the administrative hearing.
Trustee Brunner thanked Corporation Counsel and Village staff for doing a magnificent job on
this review. She also asked that, for clarity, all references to the Clean Indoor Air ordinance be
changed to Smoke-Free Morton Grove ordinance. Mayor Krier agreed.
Trustee Kogstad asked if there are any fees in this ordinance that have not been previously
approved by the Board.
Corporation Counsel Liston said that this Ordinance only pertains to fines, not fees; fees will
come soon in a separate Ordinance. She said that some of the fines are different. There is a
posting on the Village's web site that lists, in detail, the "current" fines and these "new" fines.
For the most part, fines were changed to be consistent with what's being done in other
municipalities. Ms. Liston noted that the most significant change is that most of the Village's
fines ranged from a minimum of $50 to a maximum of $500, but State law is now a minimum
of $75 to a maximum of $750, so Morton Grove's have now been changed to be consistent
with that:
Trustee Brunner asked, if there was no fine mentioned in any specific ordinances, would the
new Title 1, Section 4 coverthat. Ms. Liston noted that, in the proposed ordinance, Title 1,
Section 4 states that a violation of a~ Village ordinance will result in a fine of a minimum of
$75 to a maximum of $750, and every day is a separate offense, unless there are specific
fines for a specific offense.
Trustee Thill asked if bicycles have to be licensed. Ms. Liston said it's on the Village's books,
but is pending review and will eventually be "modernized". Trustee Thill asked if there was a
snow removal ordinance. Ms. Liston said yes, there is. He asked if it was for businesses or
private property. She said she would have to research and get back to Trustee Thill: Trustee
Thill also pointed out a typo ("far" housing should be "fair" housing).
3. Trustee Minx announced that, on June 8, the Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training
Academy (NIPSTA) will be holding a Public Awareness event from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p. m.
NIPSTA is located at 2300 Patriot Drive in Glenview. Many activities for the family are
scheduled for this day. The cost is $5 per person, children under the age of 3 are free. For
more information, residents should call 1-847-998-8090 or visit NIPSTA's website at
www.nipsta.org.
Trustee Minx said she hoped everyone will have a fun and safe Memorial Day, and hoped that
everyone will keep all our veterans and current armed forces in their thoughts and prayers.

X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
E. Trustee Staackmann:
Trustee Staackmann presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-19, Amending the Village
of Morton Grove's Unified Development Code, Sections 12-3-3C1d, 12-4-2D1c, 12-4-3D,
12-5-3A, 12-5-5A, 12-5-7C, 12-5-8A, 121-7-2H3, 12-7-3E, 12-9-1B2i, and 12-16-4C7.
He explained that these miscellaneous text amendments will correct and clarify certain
provisions, and keep other sections current with State law. The Plan Commission has
unanimously recommended approval of these text amendments.
Trustee Thill had a question about one of the provisions being changed to correct a math error
in calculating minimum lot area for multiple-family dwelling units. Corporation Counsel Liston
said the formula that had originally been used was incorrect. He also questioned a provision
removing senior housing as an allowable use in the M-1 Manufacturing zoning district. He
thought that had already been done. Ms. Liston confirmed that it had been approved, but
when the Unified Development Code had been approved, it wasn't updated to reflect that
change.
Trustee Thill also commented on a provision modifying a section of the Code that prohibits the
location, construction, or operation of adult entertainment facilities. Ms. Liston said that the
Supreme Court has ruled that municipalities could not ban adult entertainment facilities as it
would violate their First Amendment rights; however, municipalities can require such facilities
to be located only in certain specific locations. She said that, under recently passed State law,
any new construction of adult entertainment facilities prohibits their construction within one
mile of schools, day care facilities, places of worship, cemeteries, or forest preserves.
2• Trustee Staackmann commented that in six weeks it will be the Fourth of July. He encouraged
the assemblage to support the Morton Grove Days Committee by purchasing .raffle tickets for
their raffle. The grand prize is $5,000, second prize is a 42" TV donated by Abt, and 31d prize
is a $1,000 savings bond donated by MB Financial. Tickets are available for $10 each or 12
for $100. Proceeds will help defray the cost of the Parade.
F. Trustee Thill
Trustee Thill presented Ordinance 08-16, An Ordinance Amending Title 7 to Add
Chapter 10 of the Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove Establishing Standards
for Erosion and Sediment Control and Grading Within the Village of Morton Grove.
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
He explained that, to be in compliance with the Village's National Pollutant and Discharge
Elimination Permit, it must update its code related to standards for erosion and sediment
control and grading for development within the Village. There was no further discussion on
Ordinance 08-16.
Trustee Thill moved to approve Ordinance 08-16, seconded by Trustee Staackmann. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

2. Trustee Thill next presented for a first reading Ordinance 08-21, An Ordinance Establishing
the Prevailing Rate of Wages for Laborers, Mechanics, and Other Workers in the Village
of Morton Grove Employed in Performing Construction of Public Works for the Village.
He explained that the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act requires contractors and subcontractors to
pay laborers, workers, and mechanics employed on public works projects no less than the
general prevailing rate of wages as established by the Village. "Public works" projects, as
defined by the Act, mean all fixed works constructed by any public body, or paid for wholly
or in part out of public funds. The Act requires that each year, in June, the Village must
investigate and ascertain the prevailing rate of wages.
There was no further discussion on Ordinance 08-21.
3. Trustee Thill noted that a river clean-up work day had taken place this past Saturday. He
thanked the 50 volunteers who participated, and noted that 43 bags of debris were collected.
Also, he asked residents to use less fertilizer on their lawns this year-that will mean less
fertilizer that ends up in the river. Trustee Thill requested that residents consider mulching
their lawn. It not only saves money, but returns important nutrients to the lawn.
XL OTHER BUSINESS
Mayor Krier reminded the assemblage that the Memorial Day Parade will take place on
Sunday, May 25. It will kick-off at the Civic Center at 1:30 p.m. and end up at the Library. He
encouraged all residents to participate or come out and watch the parade.
XI I. WARRANTS
Trustee Minx presented the Warrant Register for May 12, 2008, which totaled $268,232.20.
She moved to approve the Warrants as presented, seconded by Trustee Marcus.
Trustee Thill noted that there's a line item for a payment of $601.50 for an impounded dog.
He wondered if the owner had come forward yet and if the Village had been reimbursed.
Administrator Wade said he would research this and let the Board know.
Trustee Thill also asked about a $2600 payment for a tree to be removed at 8820 Major.
He asked if this was a tree that the Village could have handled. Public Works Director Andy
DeMonte said the Village could not have handled it.
Mayor Krier called for the vote on the Warrants. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Village President
Members of the Village Board
6101 Capulina Avenue
Morton Grove, Illinois 60053
Dear President Krier and Members of the Village Board:
On April 21, 2008 and May 19, 2008, public hearings were conducted by the Morton Grove Plan
Commission aftex a legal notice was published in "The Champion" newspaper or. April 3, 2008, a sign.
posted on the property and written notification sent to property owners within 250 feet of the subject
property as required by ordinance, regarding:
Plan Commission Case PC08-02, wherein the applicant, B1aek and Veatch, agent for Cricket
Communications, requested a Special LTSe Permit to construct a commercial wireless antenna installation
and associated ground-mounted. equipment at 8820 National Avenue.
Ms. Bonnie 7acobson, Planner, sununarized the case for the Village. She indicated that the proposed
installation will be joining four other carriers on the water tower. The antemras will be mounted on the
neck of the water tower and the ground-mounted equipment just northeast of the tower. Staff reviewed
the application and there was concern regarding a readjustment of the landscaping and the Village
Engineer was concerned about the anchoring of the platform. Both concerns were addressed in proposed
staff conditions.
Mr. Dennis Schumerhorn of Black and Veatch represented the applicant at the April 21, 2008 hearing and
Mr. Jack Hickey, also of Black and Veatch represented the applicant at the May 19, 2008 hearing. Mr.
Schumerhom indicated that Cricket Communications was a new carrier entering the market whose
primary service will be local customers. He described the location and placement of the antennas and
equipment.
Commissioner Roepenaclc requested the information on the power output and frequency, anal both
Commissioner Gabriel and Commissioner Shimanski questioned the aesthetic impact and use of the
mounting bracket for the antennas as opposed to the other carriers whose antennas are mounted directly to
the tower.
No interested parties spoke regarding this case but several concerned parties spoke. Mr. Cornel Albu was
concerned about the eleettomag~etic field created by so many antennas; Ms. Nancy Lanning was
concerned about removal oP the antemias if they are no longer m use; and, Ms. Lili Moi was concerned
about the health hazard of the antennas.
Commissioner Roepenack responded that the frequency and wattages were too low to have a health
impact and Chairman Farkas responded that according to federal law the Plan Commission is prohibited
from evaluating health risks -this is Che purview of the FCC. Ms. Jacobson responded to Ms. Lanning's
question, indicating that according to Village Code al] carriers are responsible for removing their antennas
if they are no longer in use.

Based on the infom7ation presented at the April 21, 2008 hearing, the Plan Commission continued the
case to May 19, 2008 allowing for the applicant to provide the frequency information, and a better
graphic representation of the mounting bracket on the tower to better deterntine the aesthetic impact. The
additional information was provided at the May 19, 2008 hearing. Mr. Jack Hickey responded to any
questions from the Commission.
After seeing the graphic representation of the mounting bracket, the Commissioners felt that although the
mounting system is different than the other carriers, there was no significant impact.
Mr. Eric Poders another concerned party, spoke. He stated that he was researching whether the
frequencies might have an adverse effect on the Village's water supply within the tank by reason of
ionization. He also stated that pending his ongoing research he was urging our approval of the application
as it was a source of income to the Village. Commissioner Roepenack responded that frequencies are
non-ionizing and anyway the metal of the tank shields the water from the antennas which are directed
outward. Chairman Farkas advised Mr. Poders that if his research revealed any adverse environmental
effects of the frequencies on the Village's water that he bring his research to- tihe attention of the FCC
since that agency has the exclusive purview over environmental effects of the frequencies.
Based on the information presented, Commissioner Patel moved, and Commissioner Gabriel seconded, to
approve a commercial wireless antenna installation and associated ground-mounted equipment at 8820
National Avenue, subject to the Following conditions:
1. That the antenna installation and equipment be constructed in compliance with the site plan
dated 05/01/08 but with the landscaping adjusted per approval of the Village Planner;
2. 't'hat the antenna installation be constructed in accordance with the elevations dated. OS/O1I08;
3. That no fence be placed around the equipment cabinet;
4. That the construction and anchoring of the platform for the equipment cabinets be reviewed
and approved by the Village Engineer; and
5. That all other Village Codes and Ordinances be met.
The motion passed: Yes -- 7, No - 0, Absent - 0.

Plan Cormission Chairman
Findings of Fact
Listed below are seven standards articulated in Section 12-16-4C of the Village of Morton Grove Unified
Development Code upon which the Plan Commission based its decision.
1. Preservation of Health, Safety, Morals and Welfare -The establishment, maintenance and
operation of the Special Use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
morals or general welfare..
The Plan Commission concluded that the public welfare would not be endangered. by the
proposed installation. Commissioner Roepenack commented that electromagnetic emissions
are way below FCC regulations, per concerns raised at the hearing by neighbors.
2. Adjacent Properties -The Special Use should not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of
other property in the immediate vicinity for the uses permitted in the zoning district.
• The proposed antenna installation will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of
surrounding property. .There are several other installations on this water tower and the
addition of this one will not impact or be injurious to surrounding properties.
3. Orderly Development - T'he establishment of the Special Use will not impede normal and
orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding property for uses permitted in
the zoning district.
• The proposed installation is on an existing water tower in an existing built-out residential area
That is not planned for redevelopment. Thus, orderly development is not impeded.
4. Adequate Facilities -Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities
are in existence or are being provided.
The proposed Special Use is on an existing tower where adequate facilities are already
present..
5. Traffic Control -Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress
designed to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets.. The proposed use of the subject
site should not draw substantial amounts of traffic on local residential streets.
The proposed antenna installation requires once a month service and thus will not affect
traffic or cause congestion. The Traffic Safety Commission. waived review of the case due to
minimal traffic impact.
6. Adequate Buffering -Adequate fencing and/or screening shall be provided to ensure the right
of enjoyment of surrounding properties to provide for the public safety or to screen parking
areas and other visually incompatible uses.
• The landscaping and screening will be adjusted per condition to blend in with The surrounding
area.
7. Conformance to Other Regulations -The Special Use shall, in all other respects, conform to
applicable provisions of this Ordinance or amendments thereto. Variation from provisions of
this Ordinance, as provided for in Section 12-16-3A1, may be 'considered by the Plan
Commission and the Village Board of Trustees as a part of the special use permit.
• The proposed installation will be required to adhere to all pertinent Village codes and
ordinances.

Requirements:
May ] 2, 2008
This ordinance will allow for the revocation of an amendment to the Special Use Permit
approving a planned unit development for this sate which allowed for a time extension for the
progression of construction.
An extension of time was previously requested since this project was stalled due to lack of
financing and a change in management. This extension was provided in Ordinance 08-03,
adopted on January 14, 2008. Subsequently, the project has not progressed and a revocation is
warranted.
The Village granted. a SpecialUse for this property pursuant to Ordinance OS-48, adopted
October 24, 2005, for the construction of two mixed unit development buildings consisting of
13,115 square feet of retail space, 54 condominiums, and 2l townhome units. The Special Use
Pennie was amended on September I I, 2006, pursuant to Ordinance 06-31 to make minor
changes to the site plan. The Unified Development Code requires construction of a planned unit
development begin within twelve months after passage of the authorizing ordinance and
construction to proceed in accordance with a submitted phasing plan and construction schedule.
Construction on this project was delayed due to management and financing concerns. The
developer assured the Village when financing has been secured construction would progress
pursuant to an appropriate construction schedule. Subsequent to that amendment no financing
has been secured and no construction schedule has been created causing the V illage to reconsider
and. rescind the special use amendment extension.

AMENDING TITLES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 AND 12 OF THE VILLAGE OF MORTON
---~' GROVE CODE REMOVING THE INDIVIDUAL FINES AND ESTABLISHING A FINE SECTION
Introduced May O5, 2008
Synopsis: This Ordinance amends Titles 1 through 10 and 12 of the Municipal Code.
Purpose: This Ordinance will restructure the Village's Municipal Code to remove references to
specific fines from individual Code Titles, Chapters, and Sections, and set forth all Village
fines in Title 1, Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code. The ordinance also revises the
Village's fines and penalties so they are consistent and current with other Village
ordinances and fines imposed for other similar offenses and penalties assessed by
State statute. This amendment will allow fines and penalties to be easily reviewed
by law enforcement and other Village enforcement officers as well as the Village's
adjudication hearing system.
Background: In 2007, staff began to review the Village's fines and penalties in an effort to determine if
'
fines and fees. Staff
they were consistent with State statute and other municipalities
determined the Village's fines and fees required an increase in the general penalty and other
specific fines to remain consistent with other municipalities. Village staff also believes
placement of all fines and penalties in one section of the Village Code will allow for a more
'
s adjudication
efficient review of such fines and penalties by Village staff, the Village
hearing system, and by residents and businesses. This ordinance also grants the Village
Administrator to enter into stipulated settlements for violations which are settled prior to
the designated hearing date. The stipulated settlement amount for parking tickets shall be
$10.00 if paid prior to an initial due date specifiedbn the citation, $15.00 if paid after the
initial due date but prior to the administrative hearing, and $20:00 if paid on the date of the
administration hearing.
Department Affected: All Departments
Fiscal Impact: Because of the variable nature of ordinance violations, additional revenues generated by
imum fine for most ordinances will

now be $75.00 to $750.00 per offense and each day is considered a separate offense.
Previously, the fine for many ordinances was $50.00 to $500.00; therefore it is possible the
Village will receive additional revenue of approximately $22,500.00 per year based on the
increase of this general penalty.

AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8220 NATIONAL AVENUE
FOR A COMMERCIAL WIRELESS ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Introduced: June 9, 2008
Synopsis: This ordinance will approve a special use permit to construct a commercial wireless
antemia installation and associated ground mounted equipment at 8820 Nagle Avenue for
Cricket Communications.
Purpose: Commercial wireless antenna installations are allowed only as special uses.
Background: Black and Veatch, as agents for Cricket Communications requested a special use permit
to construct a commercial wireless antenna installation and associated ground mounted
equipment at 8820 National Avenue. Section 332 (c)(7) of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 states local government may not unreasonably discriminate among providers of
ceILphone services and may not regulate the siting of commercial antennas in a manner
that has the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services. This statute
also preempts local decisions based on environmental affects of Radio Frequency (RF)
emissions, as the FCC has exclusive jurisdiction to regulate antermas based on RF
emissions. The Plan Commission held two public hearings on this matter on Apri121,
2008 and May 19, 2008, and the applicant responded to concerns about potential health
risks regarding the installation of such antennas. After the public hearings, the Plan
Commission recommended approval of the request for the special use by a unanimous
vote.

Morton Grove, Illinois 60053
Dear President Krier and Members of the Village Board:
On April 21, 2008 and May 19, 2008, public hearings were conducted by the Morton Grove Plan
Commission after a legal notice was published in "The Champion" newspaper en April 3, 2008, a sign
posted on the property and written notification sent to property owners within 250 feet of the subject
property as required by ordinance, regarding:
Plan Commission Case PC08-02, wherein the applicant, Black and Veatch, agent for Cricket
Communications, requested a Special Use Permit to construct a commercial wireless antenna installation
and associated ground-mounted equipment at 8820 National Avenue.
Ms. Bonnie Jacobson, Planner, summarized the case for the Village. She indicated that the proposed
installation will be joining four other carriers on the water tower. The antetmas will be mounted on the
neck of the water tower and the ground-mounted equipment just northeast of the tower. Staff reviewed
the application at~d there was concern regarding a readjustment of the landscaping and the Village
Engineer was concerned about the anchoring of the platform. Both concerns were addressed in proposed
staff conditions.
Mr. Dennis Schumerhorn of Black and Veatch represented the applicant at the April 21, 2008 hearing and
Mr. Jack Hickey, also of Black and Veatch represented the applicant at the May 19, 2008 hearing. Mr.
Schumerhorn indicated that Cricket Communications was a new carrier entering the market whose
primary service will be local customers. He described the location and placement of The antennas and
equipment.
Commissioner Roepenack requested the information on the power output and frequency, and. both
Commissioner Gabriel and Commissioner Shimanski questioned the aesthetic impact and use of the
mounting bracket for the antennas as opposed to the other carriers whose antennas are mounted directly to
the tower.
No interested parties spoke regarding this case but several concerned parties spoke. Mr. Gomel A1bu was
concerned about the electromagnetic field created by so many antennas; Ms, Nancy Lanning was
concerned about removal of the antennas if they are no longer m use; and, Ms. Lili Moi was coneemed
about the health hazard of the antennas.
Commissioner Roepenack responded that the frequency and wattages were too low to have a health
impact and Chairman Tarkas responded that according to federal law the Plan Commission is prohibited
from evaluating health risks - this is the purview of the FCC. Ms. Jacobson responded to Ms. Lanning's
question, indicating that according to Village Code all carriers are responsible for removing their antennas
if they are no longer in use.

Based on the information presented at the April 21, 2008 hearing, the Plan Commission continued the
case to May 19, 2008 allowing for the applicant to provide the frequency information, and a better
graphic representation of the mounting bracket on the tower to better determine the aesthetic impact. The
additional information was provided at the May 19, 2008 hearing. Mr. Jack Hickey responded to any
questions from the Commission.
After seeing the graphic representation of the mounting bracket, the Commissioners felt that although the
mounting system is different than the other can~iers, there was no significant impact.
Mr. Eric Foders another concerned party, spoke. He stated that he was researching whether the
frequencies might have an adverse effect on the Village's water supply within the tank by reason of
ionization. He also stated that pending his ongoing research he was urging our approval of the application
as it was a source of income to the Village. Commissioner Roepenack responded that frequencies are
non-ionizing and anyway the metal of the tank shields the water from the antennas which are directed
outward. Chairman Earkas advised Mr. Poders that if his research revealed any adverse environmental
eff cts of the frequencies en the ViLage's wa±er that hP hrinbr 11ic re~cear_rh to the ati r~nisnn of the FCC
since that agency has the exclusive purview over environmental effects of the frequencies.
Based on the information presented, Commissioner Patel moved, and Commissioner Gabrie] seconded, to
approve a commercial wireless antenna installation and associated ground-mounted equipment at 8820
National Avenue, subject Yo the following conditions:
1. That the antenna installation and equipment be constructed in compliance with the site plan
dated 05/01(08 but with the landscaping adjusted per approval of the Village Planner;
2. That the antenna installation be constructed in accordance with the elevations dated 05!01/08;
3. That no fence be placed around the equipment cabinet;
4. That the construction and anchoring of the platform for the equipment cabinets be reviewed
and approved by the Village Engineer; and
5. That all other Village Codes and Ordinances be met.

The "Findings of Fact" relative to the seven standards by which a Special Use is evaluated is attached
to this report.
Ronald Farkas fir.
Plan Commission
findings of Fact
Listed below are seven standards articulated in Section 12-16-4C of the Village of Morton Grove Unifed
Development Code upon which the Plan Commission based its decision.
1. Preservation of Health, Safety, 1l4orals and Welfare -The establishment, maintenance and
operation of the Special Use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
morals or general welfare.
The Plan Commission concluded that the public welfare would not be endangered by the
proposed installation. Commissioner Roepenack commented that electromagnetic emissions
are way below FCC regulations, per concerns raised at the hearing by neighbors.
2. Adjacent Properties -The Special Use should not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of
other property in the immediate vicinity for the uses permitted in the zoning district.
• The proposed anaemia installation will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of
surrounding property. There are several other installations on this water tower and the
addition of this one will not impact or be injurious to surrounding properties.
3. Orderly Development -The establishment of the Special Use will not impede normal and
orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding property for uses permitted in
the zoning district.
• The proposed installation is on an existing watertower in an existing built-out residential area
that is not planned for redevelopment. Thus, orderly development is not impeded.
4. Adequate Facilities -Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities
are in existence or are being provided.
• The proposed Special Use is on an existing tower where adequate facilities are already
present.
5. Traffic Control -Adequate measures have been or will. be taken to provide ingress and egress
designed to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets.. The proposed use of the subject
site should not draw substantial amounts of traffic on local residential streets.
• The proposed antenna installation requires once a month service and thus will not affect
traffic or cause congestion. The Traffic Safety Commission waived review of the case due to
minimal traffic impact
6. Adequate Buffering -Adequate fencing and/or screening shall be provided to ensure the right
of enjoyment of surrounding properties to provide for the public safety or to screen parking
areas and other visual)y incompatible uses.
• The landscaping and screening will be adjusted per condition to blend in with The sunrounding
area.
7. Conformance to Other Regulations -The Special lise shall, in all other respects, conform to
applicable provisions of this Ordinance or amendments thereto. Variation from provisions of
this Ordinance, as provided for in Section 12-16-3A1, may be considered by the Plan
Commission and the Village Board of Trustees as a part of the special use permit.
The proposed installation will be required to adhere to all pertinent Village codes and
crdinances.

Legislative Summary
Resolution 08-36
AUTHORIZING THE EXCLUSION OF THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
FROM THE COOK COUNTY URBAN COUNTY PROGRAM FOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING
Introduced: June 9,2008
Synopsis: This resolution will serve as the Village's formal intent to exclude itself from
the Cook County Urban County Program. This is necessary so the Village
can apply directly to the State of Illinois for an individual grant.
Purpose: To allow the Village greater flexibility in its pursuit for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
Background: The State of Illinois provides grant funding for the community development
progra*ns Including, without limitation, acquisition of property for public
purposes; construction or reconstruction of streets, water and sewer facilities,
and other public works; rehabilitation of public and private buildings; and
assistance to nonprofit and private entities for community and economic
development. The Village may apply for these funds if it affirmatively
excludes itself from the Cook County Urban County Program. For several
years the Village has not received direct funding from the County Program
and Village staff has recommended the Corporate Authorities adopt this
ordinance to formally exclude itself from the Cook County Urban County
Program so it may independently pursue County Development Block Grants
through the State of Illinois.
