MINUTESOF THE SPECIAL MEETING THE JUNE 25, 2008, MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TRUSTEE'S CONFERENCE ROOM RICHARD T. FLICHINGER MUNICIl'AL CENTER 6101 CAPULINA AVENUE, MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS 60053 Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meeting Act, the Special Meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Mayor Richard Krier. Clerk Fritzshall called the roll. In attendance were: Elected Officials: President Richard Krier, Trustees Georgianne Brunner, Roy Kogstad, Shel Marcus, Rita Minx, Dan Staackmann, and John Thill Absent: No absences Village Staff: Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade, and Corporation Counsel Teresa Hoffman Liston, Finance Director Daniela Partipilo, Assistant Finance Director Ryan Horne Also Present: Daniel Berg of Sikich, one member of the press, and approximately 8 members of the community President Krier announced the purpose of the meeting was to answer any questions the Board may have regarding the initial draft of the Village's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Mr. Wade gave a brief overview of the repot[. He noted pursuant to Fcesoiution 04-28 the Village confirmed debt previously owed by the Waukegan Road TIF District Fund to the General Fund. He also reviewed various accounting procedures and draft financial policies includmg reporting requirements. Mr. Wade noted the Village's finance policy should support its goals, not the other way around. Mr. Berg then provided a detailed presentation of the Village's audit process and explained each step of that process: planning meetings; preliminary field work, final field work, and the exit conference. Mr. Berg. then answered questions regarding the delay in submitting the final draft which was in part due. to approval of the resolution confirming the Waukegan Road TIF debt to the Village:' Mr. Berg then discussed the financial highlights of 2007 audit azid explained the transmittal and management letter. He noted the CAFR including all of its documents serves as a historical Village file explaining where the Village stood financially as of aparticular time, i.e., December 31, 2007. A brief discussion then ensued relative to the impact on certain bonds issued by the Village for the Holocaust Museum. Mr. Berg emphasized the Village has no legal or financial obligation with respect to these bonds, and the bonds do not impact the Village's budget in any way. Mr. Berg then answered multiple questions from Village Trustees regarding accounting records and the Village's investment policies: A short discussion then ensued regarding the current deficit in the Waukegan Road TIF District Fund. This Fund is currently generating sufficientrevenue where it is begimiing to pay back the General Fund; however, it can not be determined if and when the debt owed by the TIF Fund to the General Fund will be paid in full. The Board then discussed the Village's internal controls on its payroll process. Ms. Partipilo presented a PowerPoint presentation on the Village's accounts by individual funds. Mr. Wade then discussed the Village's financial policy. Mr. Berg confirmed the Village used cash basis accounting for day-to-day bookkeeping of its transactions. At the end of the year, these accounts are converted to The modifred accrual basis. Mr. Berg stressed this is a common practice for municipal financing. A discussion then ensued regarding historical reports received by Village Trustees from past Finance Directors. Mr. Berg stated the Village could use a modified accrual basis throughout the year but he does notbelieve the cost for such accounting would justify its benefits. A discussion then ensued as to the current percentage of the Village's fund balance. After a general discussion it was the consensus of a majority of the Trustees the Village's fund balance should be maintained at 25% of the operating budget. Mr: Wade then gave a brief presentation on the GASB 45 requirement "thatthe Village quantify its past employee health benefit cost". A brief discussion then ensued. The Village Board then entertained comments from the audience. There being no further business, Trustee Minx moved to adjourn the special meeting. The motion was seconded. by Trustee Brunner and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 9:21 pm. Minutes by: Carol A.

Just a management tool MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HELD ON JULY 10, 2008, AT THE MAIN HALL OF THE AMERICAN LEGION MEMORIAL CIVIC CENTER 6140 DEMPSTER STREET, MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS 60053 TO DISCUSS THE PRELIMINARY ENTGINEERING AND STREETSCAPING PLANS OF THE DEMPSTER STREET CORRIDOR Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meeting Act, the Special Meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Mayor Richard Krier. Clerk Fritzshall called the roll. In attendance were: Elected Officials: Mayor Richard Krier, Trustees Georgianne Brunner, Rita Minx, Dan Staackmann, and John Thill Absent: Trustees Roy Kogstad and Shel Marcus Village Staff: Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade, Village Engineer Ryan Gillingham, Community and Economic Development Director Bill Neuendorf Also Present: Ted Haffner, Terry Guen Design Associates; Nathaniel K. Utz, McDonough Associates; Eric Miller, Representative Beth Coulson's Chief of Staff; approximately 50 residents. Mayor Krier thanked everyone for coming and stated the Village has been diligent in trying to obtain monies for this project for over ten years. He then turned the meeting over to Administrator Wade. Mr. Wade gave a brief overview and background of the project and stated after the formal presentation of the meeting, he would encourage residents to speak and present their questions and concerns. He stated the Village is now working on final engineering plans for this project which has taken ten years to come to fruition. The Village is at the point where they would appreciate public input before the final document is submitted to IDOT for approval. Mr. Wade stated Dempster Street was a Strategic Regional Arterial (SRA) with a traffic flow of between 38,000 and 40,000 cars a day. There`have been above average accidents on this roadway. This project will add a turning lane which should help traffic flow and increase safety. A Dempster Street Committee was originally formed and they devised a concept and the consultants and design engineers have been working diligently to progress through the various steps needed to bring this project to the point of where it is today. Mr. Wade introduced Mr. Gillingham who presented the engineering concepts. Mr. Wade reiterated that residents having .questions and suggestions were encouraged to speak at the conclusion of this presentation. Mr. Gillingham stated he has been working on the project since 2004. He stated it is the intention of the Village to improve safety on this roadway as well as improve the overall aesthetics. In 2001, the master plan was completed for this corridor. In 2006, the Village received Phase I approval which included removing the two parking lanes on either side of the street, adding bi-directional lanes and widening the sidewalk. In 2001, three parcels were acquired and the Village began turning those into parking areas to help patron's access retail businesses in those areas. Three additional parking areas have been designated but funds have not yet been acquired to proceed with those peripheral projects. The Village and their consultants have been working on detailed design drawings and with the comments given here tonight it is anticipated those plans will now be ready to be submitted to IDOT. To date the Village has received a commitment in grant monies from tiie state and federal governments of$7.7 million. As mentioned earlier, there are three additional lots still to be built but unfortunately the $3.6 million that has been promised has yet to be placed into the State's budget. The Village anticipates the earliest this construction could begin is 2010. Construction would begin in the early spring and continue Through fall of the same year. Work continues with the Village's State Representatives to obtain additional funding for the remaining parking areas. Mr. Gillingham also stated as part of this project a twelve inch water main would be placed down the middle of Dempster to replace the antiquated original four h~ch main installed at the turn of he century. Finally, he is hopeful driveways can be consolidated to help make this a safer route. Mr. Neuendorf then discussed the aesthetics of this project. Basically aesthetics give an area character. He stated sidewalks will be expanded and there will nbt only be more area to walk safety but there will now be room for trees, benches, pots of flowers, etc. Street lighting will now be uniform and the style be more contemporary. There will be banner poles so the Village can display seasonal banners to give the roadway a more decorative look. Contemporary bicycle racks will also be installed to promote the use of bicycles. There will be a variety of planters placed in strategic areas. Grant money will pay for the initial construction work; however the maintenance of the project will fall back on the Village. Consequently durable materials and maintenance friendly materials will be used: There has been some discussion about creating a special service area (tax) to be paid by the area that benefits from these improvements. There have been no final decisions yet but rather a thought on how to maintain the plantings and purchase bazmers. Residents were made aware of the many photos and plans that have. been provided for their viewing this evening. At the conclusion of the formal portion of this meeting, the staff and consultants will be available to answer one-on-one questions. Mr. Wade advised those present that money is the key factor. Currently 80% of the project's funds are coming from twelve different funding sources. The Village is very close but help is still needed. Mayor Krier then asked for questions from the audience: Question Will the turning lane be continuous from Central Avenue to the river? Answer Yes, except for intersections or where there is a turning lane. Question What are the terms of design and sustainability for this roadway? ' Answer This is a traditional roadway design. It will mostly consist bf roadway and sidewalk reconstruction. Question How is snow removal going to be handled once this project is completed, taking into consideration the new streetscape? Answer The Public Works DeparUnent currently handles snow removal on Dempster and will continue to do so. Streetscape items will be grouped together so snow removal will continue to fast and efficient. Question Will the timing of signals be better managed? Answer Congestion mitigation and air quality -Signals will be timed and synchronized w better manage congestion and mitigate air pollution.. Question Currently there are three additional parking lots, the Village does not have. How do we get them? Answer Certain criteria are in place to obtain the funding and the property. Question How is the Village going to pay for the maintenance of the landscaping and snow removal on Dempster? Answer A merchant tax is possible but the Village Board is not looking at that at this time. 2 Question Can the Village control the speed limit down Dempster? Answer It is the Village's understanding the speed limit on Dempster Street (30 mph) will remain the same; however, if it was to change it is understood the State would consult with the Village before making such a change. Question Will there be a bicycle lane? Answer Due to the limited right-of--way space there are no plans for a bicycle lane. Question How are the signals timed relative to speed of traffic? Answer The signal devices are regulated and timed to efficiently move the flow of traffic. Question How is pedestrians crossing the roadway timed? Answer There are engineering calculations done on the amount of time it takes to cross the street times the width of the roadway, eta Question Whattype of striping will be done on the pedestrian crossings? Answer There will be two types, white lines plus the asphalt will be stamped. Question Has the Village taken a took at the conditionof the streets and alleys that feed into Dempster? Answer Currently Pubfic Works has all the streets and alleys mapped with a rating from good to bad. Replacing streets comes down to the overall budget. Currently only radius returns are being planned to be replaced with this project. Question What about a pedestrian bridge at Harrer Park? Answer That issue has not been explored because funding for such a project is different. It should be noted that IDOT would never allow a bridge to be built if there was any chance that it would interfere with signals or visibility by motorists. A pedestrian bridge must also meet the criteria of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). It would therefore bring the beginning of the bridge to approximately mid-block. TrusteeThill then suggested the entrance into the forest preserve hat is just to the east of Ferris Avenue be moved to line up directly with Ferris Avenue. There is currently no mention of this reconfiguration on the plan. He stated after talking with other officials that it was felt that this was a noteworthy change. It was felt that while this was a good idea, it could ultimately delay the Dempster Street project by a couple of years. The consultant noted it is very difficult to work with the Forest Preserve and has consequently not been included in the plan. Trustee Thill stated this is not a large project. It is only moving the driveway to make it safer for motorists and pedestrians at this intersection. He named several communities that have alreadydone this type of change. Question Should the forest preserve entrance change be a separate project? Answer It may be worth pursuing as a separate project. Question Are there set areas where handicapped parking will be? Answer This project, as well, as aI1 other projects need to be ADA compliant so ramps and accessibility for handicapped individuals will be part of this project. Question Will there be access for the businesses while the street is under construction? Answer The Village will wor~C diligently to make access available to all businesses during construction. Question How are restricted left hand turns determined? Answer Left hand turns will be more palatable with the integration of the left turn lane down Dempster Street. Question What is the status of the Simkins Furniture store? Answer The Village has been approached by someone to purchase the building. Once the Village owned the. building it was determined it was not needed to provide sufficient parking for this area. A contract is currently pending and the Village Board will be voting on the purchase in the next few weeks. The proceeds will be placed back into the General Fund. Trustee Staackmann stated he would like to see the monies go back into the Dempster Street Project and be earmarked for parking, or at a minimum for the project as a whole. Trustee Staackmann thanked everyone for their hard work. It has taken a long time to get to this point. He suggested the businesses get together and form a Dempster Street Business Association. He would not like to see a special taxing district but businesses need to get together and share ideas and see how costs can be consolidated, parking can be shared, eta Mayor Krier then closed the formal portion of the meeting, however he encouraged everyone to stay and share ideas in an informal setting. There being. no further business, Trustee Minx moved to adjourn the_special meeting. The motion was seconded by Trustee Thill and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 8:12 pm.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) Mayor Krier asked if any residents had any comments regarding agenda items other than Or- dinance 08-36 which would be discussed later. Eric Poders, 7940 Foster asked for a detailed explanation regarding ±he commuter parking situation relative to Ordinances 08-34, 08-35 and 08-37 from the Board. Bob Burkhart, 6034 Grove had concerns about the Metra parking and the restricted parking areas throughout the Village and expressed concern on how to resolve this growing problem. He felt the Village should be committed to being a ".green" community and promote more pub- lic transportation. Mayor Krier stated as part of the Village's long range plan is hopeful it can build a parking garage at the commuter station. VIII: PRESIDENT'S REPORT a. Mayor Krier read a proclamation proclaiming Chamber of Commerce Week which is September 8 -September 12, 2008. b.

There will be a pancake breakfast followed by a new resident reception, food throughout the day, as well as activities for all. He encouraged everyone to attend. c. Mayor Krier stated he was concerned about a recent newspaper article in which an individual expressed concern over an "inadequate siren warning system". Mayor Krier stated grants have been recently obtained and money spent to upgrade the Village's. tornado warning system. He went on to state this is strictly a "warning system" and not intended to relay information. If residents hear this warning they must turn on a radio and/or television to find out further information. The evening in question had a tornado sighted in Schiller Park which is within ten miles of the Village. At no other time that evening had a tornado been reported, although we had very heavy rains and wind.

As explained under the Plan Commission report, this Ordi- Hance will authorize a planned unit development at the aforementioned addresses. It should be noted this ordinance also includes significant additional conditions above the recommendations made by the Plan Commission that relate to the applicant's financial capabilities to complete this project. in a timely manner. These conditions include flexi- bility for the Village to reconsider or revoke the special use if certain construction benchmarks are not met in a timely fashion along with penalties in the event the appli- cant fails to suitably complete this project. The ordinance also requires the applicant provide security in the amount of $200,000 to insure its completion.

Mr. Tolan from Tolan Construction spoke to the Board and explained their position as construction and project manager, and how they anticipate the project to proceed. He explained this project has lingered for five years because the wrong team was assem- bled and the project was not financed properly. Now the correct team has been as- sembled and 100% financing for the project is available which requires no presale of any units. All land costs, subcontractors and creditors will be paid. New price points have been determined and they will not be TIF dependent. Financing is contingent upon the approval of the special use and they have until the end of September; how- everthe foreclosure on the property is August 28, 2008, and documentation needs to be in place before that: At the closing a check will be placed in escrow at the Bank of America. The summary of project costs are as follows: land cost and creditors - $6,931,631, hard costs (construction) - $19,475,000, soft costs (various accounts and legal fees) - $1,717,147, and sales/marketing $565,000, equity is anticipated to be $2,688,822. Contingencies have also been figured in for the project. It was explained a market study was not needed because the appraisal addressed all historical and fu- ture data needs. He explained the first priority will be to clean up the site and create an inviting appearance. They have agreed to the escrow agreement and penalties be- - Minutes of August.25, 2006 Board Meeting'. cause they believe in the project and know it can succeed. Construction will begin with the townhomes on the south side of the site and in the spring Building "B" will begin. Trustee Thlll expressed concern about parking for the retail portion of the project. The architect explained there were service entrances on the back of the buildings depend- ing on the leases. Indoor parking is being provided for residents and there should be adequate parking in the back lot, as well as parking on Lincoln Avenue. Mr. Marino will be heading up the sales and marketing teams and believes sales will do well considering properties are selling better this year than last. He also stated there is a demand for a development of this type and he is optimistic. Trustee Thill stated in the same editorial previously noted by Mayor Krier that Mr. Kropp is "not connected". He is a good and decent individual who is working hard to bring his vision to fruition.. Ne wanted everyone to know the. Village does not own this property nor does it have control over what is built there. As long as this project abides by the rules and regulations of the Village that is all that can be done. Trustee Minx was in agreement. She stated the Village can only guide and advise owners of what the laws are in the Village. Trustee Marcus stated the only reason this project is here this evening is to satisfy the special use regulations. The Trustees have only a fiduci- ary responsibility on behalf of the community. Trustee Brunner thanked everyone for being cooperative. Mayor Krier then asked if anyone else would like#o make a brief comment concerning this ordinance. The following .individuals spoke: Eric Poders, 7940 Foster asked about what would be the economic benefit of this project to the Village? The Board explained this project would provide more value than the vacant property that now exists. It is not a TIF project and therefore the Village is hopeful this project will succeed and bring businesses and pride into that area.

Trustee Staackmann explained this code change would update the plumbing regula- tions and coordinate those regulations with the 2004 Illinois State Plumbing Code. Unique local amendments would also clarify various technical sections with the major change being the list of allowed plumbing materials. No Board action was taken. This ordinance will appear again on the September 8 Village Board Agenda for a second reading. Trustee Thill 1) Trustee Thill presented for a second reading Ordinance OS-32 which will authorize the sale of surplus property owned by the Village. Four vehicles have been deemed to be no longer useful to the Village due to either cost of maintenance, and/or scheduled for replacement. Funds from the sale will be entered in the General Fund.

Trustee Thill stated this contract is needed to maintain the Village's sewer system. This annual contract rehabilitates the sewers in specified areas to help main- tain the structural integrity, improve efficiency, decrease infiltration, and essentially ex- tend the service life of a particular sewer. This public process contracted bid is in ac- cordance with Village Code. The estimated contract amount is $48,491.60; however this is a unit price contract and the final contract amount will be based on the actual quantity of wbrk performed. The Board asked Mr.`DeMonte;`Director of Public'-Works'` to explain and show how the relining is done. Mr. DeMonte had a model which he ex- plained. He also explained the process is five to ten times cheaper than the actual re- placement of a sewer, and should extend its life by a minimum of 50 years.

To alleviate commuter parking congestion on this street, the Traffic Safety Commission is recommending this street be made into a restricted Zone 11 parking zone. There is minimal cost to the Village associated with this restriction for signage, materials, and installation. Trustee Kogstad asked the Traffic Safety Commission minutes that relate to this ordinance be attached. Trustee Minx expressed concerns for this area of the Village and the inconveniences parking restrictions convey; how- ever, she felt there was no immediate solution. No Board action was taken.

With the various restricted parking areas throughout the Village where parking permits are distributed to residents who reside on the affected streets, there are those instances where nearby residents may also be af- fected and place an unintentional burden on those residents. This ordinance would give the Village Administrator discretionary authority to provide parking permits to those area residents who demonstrate special circumstances that warrant the receipt of that particular zoned parking permit. No Board action was taken. This ordinance will appear again on the September 8 Village Board Agenda for a second reading OTHER BUSINESS A brief discussion ensued among Board members concerning a handicapped spot wherein a resident from Skokie parks and walks to the train. This assigned handicapped spot cannot be restricted"at this time; however, Corpdration Counsel stated a special zone could be created within the Municipal Code allowing for a particular sticker number to be assigned to that spot. Mayor Krier felt it important for residents to write the Traffic Safety Commission concerning this situation. Trustee Staackmann wanted to know where the minutes were from the Dempster Street Open House? Mr. Wade informed the Board there was a delay due to the preparation of other documents that required staff attention. Those minutes should be completed and available for Board review and approval at the next Village Board meeting to be held on September 8, 2008. XI I1. WARRANTS Trustee Minx presented the Warrant Register for August 25, 2008, which totaled $496,437.57. She moved to approve the Warrants as presented, seconded by Trustee Thill.

Ms. Bonnie Jacobson, Planner, introduced the case for the Village. She indicated that there were not_any staff/commission coneems regarding this case except for adchngatum-around for the service truck Staff also suggested the driveway be accessed off of Mansfield Avenue instead of Marmora Avenue since it is closer. The applicant did not appear at the inifialhearing, and thus the case was continued to the following month. Despite the continuance, several residents spoke at the initial hearing, indicating their displeasure with the Mansfield Avenue driveway, instead preferring the Marnlora Avenue accessway. Therefore, for the second hearing date, the site plan was changed back to showing the access drive off of Mannora Avenue, as initially proposed by the applicant. The applicant, at the August 18,2008, hearhng was represented by Mr. Mark Layne. Mr. Layne took over for the person who was to present the case and apologized for no one attending the last hearing date. He noted that this installation is similar to other installations already in the right-of--way, except that this tower is for a new provider, and is not an infill site. Mr. Layne presented the coverage area and the RF study required by the FCC. He added that the FCC sets safety guidelines for all radio broadcasts and iieenses them. The proposed antenna frequencies are well below the FCC maximum limits. Local authority regarding frequencies is pre-erupt by the FCC. Mr. Layne did bring the RF engineer, Mr. Mike Gitomer to answer specific technical questions. The local authority can regulate the aesthetics, and Mr. Layne presented a new site plan that shows the access drive off of Mannora Avenue with a tun? around. CC~lard. T.

IJ 3A3,~~°_Lr 6/, ., Ms. Beth Berman filed an appearance as an interested party. She thanked the Village for switching the access drive, but is still concerned about the frequency ernissions. She knows this is regulated by the FCC and has called Representative Tan Schakowslcy's office. She had several questions of the RF engineer, to which Mr. Gitomer responded. Several concemed parties spoke regarding this case expressing their displeasure with the proposed tower, Many were concerned about the safety despite the testhriony provided regarding the minimum frequency output and the fact that the Plan Convnission cannot base their decision on such issues. In fact, some commission members noted that electromagnetic output from ordinary power lines exceeds that from the proposed antennas. A motion was made by Commissioner Gattorna and seconded by Commissioner Gabriel to approve a Special Use Permit for a Commercial Wireless Antenna Snstallation at the existing ComEd Towner at 9398 Mansfield Avenue, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the proposed installation be constructed in accordance with the site plan dated 3/14/08, but that a "grasscrete" turnaround be added at the end of .the driveway, subject to the review and approval of the Building Department; prior to obtaining a building permit; 2. That the proposed installation be constructed in accordance with the proposed elevation dated 3/14/08; 3. That the equipment be screened with an eight-foot high wooden fence and five mission arborvitae each on the north and south sides of the equipment shelter; and 4. That ail other pertinent Village Codes and Ordinance be met The motion passed: Yes - 6, No - 0, Absent - 1. The Voting: Chairman Farkas Yes Commissioner Dorgan Yes Commissioner Gabriel Yes. Commissioner Gattoma Yes Commissioner Patel Absent Commissioner Roepenaclc Yes Commissioner Shimansla Yes The "Findings of Fact" relative to the seven standards for Special Uses is attached. Plan Commission Comm Dev\Zoning\Plan Comm\pc08-04 report Findin^s of Fact Listed below are seven standards ariiculated in Article N "Special Uses" of the Village's Zoning Ordinance upon whichthe 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 Commissioners concluded the proposed antenna installation would not be injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the community. Despite complaints from neighboring residents regarding the safety of the electro-magnetic output, The Plan Commission felt comfortable that all FCC safety guiflelines would be met. The Plan Commission is also pre-empted by the FCC from ruling on environmental issues. 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. Based on testimony and consensus from neighboring residents the access drive was changed from Mansfield to Marmora Avenue. This would have less impact on the .neighboring properties. The proposed installation is on an existing ComEd transmission tower and will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for d1e uses permitted in the zoning district. 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. antetma installation is located on as existing utility tower and. is located in an already developed area and thus will not impede orderly development. 4. Adequate Facilities -Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities ara-in nvictanre nr am heinv nrnvidvd. The proposed antenna installation has adequate facilities. Access was expanded to the site`to allow trucks to tum around and enter and exit the site more eff ciently and not cause damage to the grass in the right-of--way. 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. Based on the letter provided by the applicant and Traffic Safety Connnission's "iro comment", the Plan Commission determined that there is no significant traffic impact from the proposed antenna installation. By changing the access drive to Mannora Avenue, the service truck wi]I not be affecting any traffic on Mansfield Avenue. 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 proposed installation will be screened with a solid fence and landscaping from the adjacent neighbors per the approved site plan. The "grasscrete" driveway will also screen the access drive. 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 meet all pertinent Village codes and. ordinances Comded~zoning\plancom\pc08-04 findings of fact ~Vgll~~~~ ®~ I~1[®>r~®~a ~~®v~ W~-1~I`~,~~5, tr~atm¢nt and long-tQrm rQCOV~ry from ~ub~tanc~ uarz di~ord¢ra can of fir s r¢n~wrzd outlook on lif¢ for thoa¢ who arQ addict¢d and thtzir family m¢mbQr~; and W'I1~Y;~~S, ~ub~tanc¢ ua¢ di~ord¢r~ impact 22.6 million pQOp1Q agQd 72 or o1dQr in thQ unitQd StatQa, which i~ morQ than thQ numbQr of ptzopl¢ living with coronary hQart di~¢8~¢, cancQr, or `fllzh¢im¢r'a dia¢aaQ eombinQ~; and W`Ff~9~,~~~, paoplQ who r¢c¢iv¢ trQatm¢nt for aubatancQ ua¢ di~ord¢ra can lead morQ produetiv¢ and fulfilling live, p¢raonally and profQ~~ionally; and.

Purpose: Commercial wireless antenna installations are allowed only as special uses, above a certain height. Background: Powder River, as agents for Benali Spectrum operations dba Cricket Communications requested a special use permit to construct a commercial wireless antenna installation on the existing Commonwealth Edison transmission tower located at 9398 Mansfield Avenue. Section 332 (c)(7) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 states local government may not unreasonably discriminate among providers of cell phone 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 antennas based on RF emissions. The Plan Commission held two public hearings on this matter on July 21, .2008 and August 18, 2008, and the applicant answered various concerns of the Plan Commission, and the public. After the public hearings, the Plan Commission recommended approval of the request for the special use permit by a unanimous vote. Programs, Depts.

Rlan Commission Corun UevlLonirgV'lan Comm\pc08-04 report Findings of Fact Listed below are seven standards articulated. in Article N "Special Uses" of the Village's Zoning Ordinance 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 Commissioners concluded the proposed antenna installation would not be injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the community.. Despite complaints fi-om neighboring residents regarding the safety of the electro-magnetic output, the Plan Commission felt comfortable that all FCC safety guidelines would be met. The Plan Commission is also pre-empted by the FCC from ruling on environmental issues. 2. Adjacent Properties -The .Special Use should not be injurious. to the use and enjoymenfpf other property in the immediate vicinity for the uses permitted in the zoning district. • Based on testimony and consensus from neighboring residents the access drive was changed from Mansfield to Marmora Avenue. This would have less impact on the neighboring properties. The proposed installation is on an existing ComEd transmission tower and will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the uses permitted in the zoning district: 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 antenna installation is located on as existing utility tower and is located in an already developed area and thus will not impede orderly development. 4. Adequate Facilities -Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities are in existence or are beingprovided. The proposed antenna installation has adequate facilities: Access was expanded to the site ao allow trucks to turn around and enter and exit the site more efficiently and not cause damage to the grass in the right-o£--way. 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. • Based on the letter provided by the applicant and Traffic Safety Comnussion's "no coimnent", the Plan Commission determined that there is no significant traffic impact from the proposed antenna installation. By changing the access drive to Marmora Avenue, the service truck will not be affecting any traffic on Mansfield Avenue. 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 proposed installation will be screened with a solid fence and landscaping from the adjacent neighbors per the approved site plan. The "grasscrete" driveway will also screen the access drive. 7. Conformance to Other Regulations -The Special tise 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 nse permit. • The proposed installation will be required to meet all pertinent Village codes and ordinances.

Background: The owners of Produce World grocery store intend to acquire two commercial properties at the intersection of Waukegan and Churchill and construct a new grocery store specializing in fresh produce and international foods. The new facility will include approximately 20,000 square feet of space for the grocery store plus an additional 5,000 square feet of space for commercial tenants. Simultaneously, the owner of Castle Honda intends to expand the showroom and sales offices as well as make other site improvements. Both business expansions are. expected to be completed in 2009. To promote this investment in Morton Grove, it is advantageous to vacate the existing alleys and relocate the existing street. Although platted as public alleys, these alleys are essentially being used exclusively by the adjacent businesses. The existing Churchill. Street is in serious disrepair and does not present an attractive route to the Park District recreation fields. The relocation of the street will allow customers of the new grocery store to enter and exit the store without having to cross a public road. The new street location will also result in a safe and attractive route to access the businesses and the Park District facilities. The future roadway will include a pedestrian sidewalk, street trees, and landscaping where none currently exists. The new roadway will also increase visibility to the adjacent businesses.
