IV, SPECIAL REPORTS
1. Swearing -in Ceremony for Various Members of the Morton Grove Fire Department
a. Fire Chief Tom Friel said he was honored to be present at the swearing -in ceremony for three
very fine individuals who will help lead the Fire Department in the future. Steven Martin was
being sworn in as a new Firefighter /Paramedic; Mike Mitchell as a new Fire Lieutenant; and
Scott Exo as a new District Chief. This is to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of District
Chief Joe Paczosa after 32 years of service.
b. Chief Friel explained that the role of District Chief can only be filled by someone with a current
rank of Fire Lieutenant, meaning that filling the District Chief vacancy leaves a vacancy in the
Fire Lieutenant ranks.
C. Firefighter testing began in mid -2009. The Village combined testing with Niles and Wilmette,
and over 200 individuals were given physical and written tests, and underwent oral interviews
and psychological evaluations.
d. Chief Friel said the State mandates that the Lieutenant test be given every three years.
Thirteen individuals tested, participating in oral interviews, written exams. and an assessment
with a third party,
e. Testing for District Chief is a two - phased process, according to the Chief. A Leadership As-
sessment was done by a third -party psychological group. Five individuals went through that
phase. Phase two was oral interviews.
'� �.:`� � ATnidexrcs#Juneti�, 2rUitl Board Nf�G:"'
lV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
Chief Friel explained that it is traditional In the Fire Service that the badge reflects the tools of
a firefighter's trade, The officer's badge incorporates a trumpet, signifying that he is the leader
on the fire around. A lieutenant has one trumpet on his badge, while a district chief has three.
It symbolizes that, during the chaos of a fire, you count on the officers to resolve the chaos.
Chief Friel noted that Fire Department liaison T rustee DiMare would be presenting a uniquely
colored helmet to the two officers being sworn in (red for the lieutenant, white for the district
chief). Having a uniquely colored helmet is another way of identifying fire officers in the midst
of a fire.
Fire and Police Commission Chairman Mike Simkins then performed the swearing - ceremony
for new Firefighter /Paramedic Steve Martin., who began his employment with the Village on
April 26 and started attending the Northern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy (NIPSTA)
in early May. Steve came to the Village as a fully - trained paramedic. He was born and raised
in Rogers Park, graduated from Northside College Prep High School, and attended Oakton
Community College, where he majored in Fire Science. Steve and his wife have a 5 -year old
daughter and are expecting another child in late summer. Steve's wife pinned on his badge
while the assemblage congratulated him.
h. Mr. Simkins then swore in new Fire Lieutenant Mike Mitchell. Mike is a Morton Grove native
and a Niles West graduate. He is a 25 -year veteran of the Morton Grove Fire Department and
has been serving as Acting Lieutenant. He is also certified as a Fire Apparatus Engineer,
Fire Officer I and II, and an incident Safety Officer. Mike and his wife of 26 years have four
children. Mike's wife pinned on his badge while the assemblage congratulated him and his
many relatives in attendance this evening.
3.
Lastly, Mr. Simkins swore in Scott Exo as Morton Grove's newest District Chief. Scott started
with the Village in 1992 as a Firefighter /Paramedic. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 2008..
and holds numerous Fire and EMS certifications. He is involved in many aspects of the Fire
Department, including serving as administrator of the Department's reporting software.
Scott serves as Secretary of the Firefighter's Pension Board and also works closely with the
Training Officer to ensure the Department's training requirements are being met. He is also
an instructor for NIPSTA and the Prairie State College Fire Science Program. Scott has two
daughters, both of whom are pursuing nursing degrees. His daughter pinned on his badge as
the assemblage congratulated him.
Presentation by Mr. Edler, Edler Warehousing in Appreciation of the Village
Mr. Edler thanked the Village Board, calling them a first -class team. His new warehouse will
be done by the end of the month. He felt it would be quite an enhancement for the Village.
Mayor Staackmann pointed out that Mr. Edler had a warehousing operation in Skokie for
many years. The Board thanked him for his kind words.
Plan Commission Chairman Ron Farkas presented this report. The applicant is Planet
Fitness; they are seeking a Special Use Permit to open a fitness facility in Village Plaza
Shopping Center (northwest corner of Dempster and Harlem) at the former site of Shoe
Carnival.
Minutes of June 91, 2019 Moard meam"
IV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
b. Chairman Farkas noted that the facility would be smaller than Bally's— approximately 14,000-
5,000 square feet —and would not have a pool, running track, orjuice bar, like Bally's. Their
experience is that the average visit will be about 35 minutes long. It would cost $59 initially to
enroll, thereafter $10 a month. No contracts are involved. The facility would be open 24 hours
a day, which is a deterrent to crime, according to police, Two staff members will be on -site at
all times. The only external change to the building is that the entrance door will be relocated
more toward the west. That was to encourage customers to utilize parking on the west side of
the building. The Village, however, would like to discourage parking more to the west side of
the building at certain times because that parking abuts the residences there. The applicant
said he would control where his employees parked and would be a good neighbor.
c. Chairman Farkas said that, although no parking study was submitted, the Commission felt
parking in the area was adequate and wouldn't encroach on other businesses parking. He
noted that Trustee Thill spoke as a concerned resident about the possible noise problems of
parking on the west side of the building. No other residents or businesses attended.
d. Chairman Farkas said the Commission voted 5 -0 (with two absent) in favor of recommending
the Special Use Permit.
V.
There
were no questions from the Board.
Trustee Marcus moved
to accent the
Plan Commis-
sion's
report. Trustee Thill seconded the
motion. Motion passed
unanimously
via voice vote.

VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only)
Georgianne Brunner. Mrs. Brunner had a question regarding Ordinance 11 -19 (amending
the Animal Control ordinance). As trustee, she had helped revamp the Animal Control
ordinance in 2006. She was concerned and asked if there was a mechanism in place to follow
up with residents to ensure that they do purchase their animal licenses annually. The burden
on staff of doing so was one of the considerations she and the Board of Environmental Health
had taken into account in 2006, and one of the reasons why they implemented a `lifetime"
license. Corporation Counsel Liston noted that Chief Erickson had assured the Board that
there is a way to cross - reference animals who've received rabies shots with licenses, and that
it's very doable.
Trustee Marcus noted that this newest iteration of the Animal Control ordinance came about
because of community concern about the Village's lack of an animal control officer. He said
this ordinance provides a better way to check to make sure licenses are being renewed, as
well as a mechanism to be able to trace lost dogs. in the long run, Trustee Marcus said, this
will prove beneficial to the community.

IX. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator
1. Mr. Wade reiterated the Clerk's announcement about the Waukegan Road and Lehigh- Ferris
TIF Joint Review Board meetings at 1 Dam on June 28th. The TIF Joint Review Board is com-
prised of representatives from all of the taxing bodies impacted by the TIF, including the
Library, Park District, School District 67, School District 70, and High School District 219.
2. Mr. Wade asked Police Chief Mark Erickson to discuss the Animal Control Ordinance and the
upcoming Cook County Rabies Vaccination and Microchip Event.
a. Chief Erickson congratulated Chief Friel on his newly - promoted members. He then introduced
CSO Shannon McMillan, who will be the Village's new part-time animal control officer.
b. As Trustee Marcus had alluded to earlier, these revisions to the Animal Control Ordinance
were brought about by some community concerns. The Police Department had been given
direction by the Village Board to bring animal control back. The provisions in this ordinance
outline various animal control measures, including increased owner accountability (via in-
creased fines for violations), annual registration, and zero tolerance on violations. Lost pet
notices will be posted on the Adopt -a -Pet website. As Mrs. Brunner pointed out, there had
been in place a lifetime pet registration, pet owners who opted for that option will be arand-
fathered in and exempt from the annual registration restriction, unless or until that particular
pet is no longer with them. There is a plan to tie annual pet registrations to the annual vehicle
registration process, so that both vehicle and pet license renewals can be accomplished at the
same time, hopefully electronically, to reauce staff time
c. Chief Erickson said that one of the goals of the new animal control ordinance was that animal
control in the Village be a self - sustaining program. Thus Officer McMillan will be in charge of
donations and volunteers for this program. Chief Erickson said he hoped those who were
concerned about animal control would be stepping forward and volunteering or donating to
the program.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
d. There will be a rabies vaccine /microchip clinic at the Civic Center, starting at 10am on July 27.

Grayslake since high school. He has also worked with K -9 units at over 60 police depart-
ments, training dogs to do everything from bombs to cadaver work. His wife trains horses.
He said he was excited to start helping out in Morton Grove, and get things back on track.
Trustee Marcus reiterated that this all came about because of community concern. The Board
listened, met with Chief Erickson, and came up with this plan, which should address those
concerns, using appropriate technology. He said he was pleased the Village could do this.
He thanked Chief Erickson and Mr. Wade and their respective staffs for their work on this.
Trustee Marcus noted that if any community members come to the Board with legitimate
concerns, the Board listens and acts. He encouraged people to come forward and volunteer
for the animal control program.

2. Next, Trustee Gomberg presented Ordinance 11 -16, Amending Title 1, Chapter 4,
Section 2, of the Municipal Code Entitled "Monetary Penalties and Fines for Specific
Violations and Offenses."
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
a. Trustee Gomberg said this ordinance establishes a range of fines for local parking violations
between $30 and $750, and for animal control ordinance violations ranging from $150 to $750.
This change ensures that the Village's ordinances are compliant with contemporary statutes
and relevant to current Village operations.

Tr. Marcus aye Tr. Thill acre Tr. Toth absent
Trustee Gomberg then presented Ordinance 11 -17, Amending Title 5, Chapter 1 of the
Municipal Code Entitled "Traffic Administration and Enforcement."
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
a. Trustee Gomberg said that various chapters have been rewritten to clarify the Village's
existing procedures for immobilizing vehicles and for towing and impoundment. An
amendment has also been added stating that, unless otherwise prohibited by law, law
enforcement officials are authorized to enter private property for the purposes of enforcing
the provisions of Title 5 and 6 of the Municipal Code,
Trustee Gomberg moved to adopt Ordinance 11 -17, seconded by Trustee DiMaria.
Trustee Gomberg noted that there had been some public concerns and questions about the
amendment and how it impacted peoples' constitutional rights. He asked Corporation Counsel
Liston to elaborate on this and the need for it.
c. Ms. Liston said that this amendment is not a new clause. The Village's current ordinance
states that police officers are authorized to enter private property to enforce this chapter. The
wording is changing so that, instead of saying "this chapter ", it will now say "to enforce the
rules and regulations of chapter 5, traffic enforcement, and chapter 6, police regulations."

X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
B. Trustee Gombero: (continued)
d. Ms. Liston said the intent was to clarify a long- standing ordinance and existing practice. An
additional clause was added that prefaces this amendment, specifically stating "unless
otherwise prohibited by law" officers are allowed to enter private property to enforce Village
ordinances. She assured the Board that the Fourth Amendment is alive and well in Morton,
Grove.
e. Ms. Liston detailed the occasions when police officers can enter private property: with owner
or occupant permission, with a warrant, in emergency situations, in pursuit of a felon, and
other instances where it's appropriate for enforcement officers to enter private property. A
person's front sidewalk and front porch are considered private property, but they're parts of
one's property held out as being open to the public. This part of your property is informally
referred to as the "mailman route ". Condominium parking lots can be entered by law
enforcement under certain circumstances.
f. Trustee Marcus also had some concerns about this issue and complimented Ms. Liston on her
explanation. He said that, while he doesn't want to hinder law enforcement in Morton Grove,
he did still have some concerns about constitutional rights when it comes to approaching
personal property. He could understand it in terms of "pursuit of a felon," but his personal
concerns would not allow him to support this ordinance.

4. Trustee Gomberg presented Ordinance 11 -18, Amending Title 5, Chapter 8, Section 4 of
the Municipal Code Entitled "Prohibited Equipment or Condition."
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
a. Trustee Gomberg said this ordinance more closely mirrors the Illinois Vehicle Code's
prohibition against darkened or tinted windshields. He moved to adopt Ordinance 11 -18,
seconded by Trustee Thill.
Mayor Staackmann asked Chief Erickson to explain this ordinance in terms of legality of tinted
windows.
b. Chief Erickson said it's a complicated state law. There are percentages of tint on rear and
front windows. The percentages change if one of the percentages of the front or rear window
changes. To alleviate any gray areas, the PD purchased meters that can tell with certainty
what the percentage of tint is. However, these meters cannot be used on moving vehicles, so
the Police Department is restricted to using them when a car is parked or the owner allows
them to be used. Their usage requires that the vehicle's windows be partially rolled down.
Thus the Village's ordinance had to be amended to allow this. Using these meters, there will
be no mistake as to what the percentage of tint is. Trustee Thill asked if a car would be pulled
over if there was some question about the tint. Chief Erickson responded that it would only be
pulled over if there was some other violation— tinted windows will not be a primary violation,

Municipal Code Entitled "Animal Control."
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
a. Trustee Gomberg explained that this ordinance incorporates relevant State statues regulating
the care and treatment of animals, and provides protection for animals from abuse, neglect..
or abandonment. It imposes a public safety fee of $500 on any person who abandons an
animal, and raises the fee from $250 to $500 for any animal determined to be "dangerous ",
It provides for the humane destruction of strays, establishes an annual pet license fee, and
reduces the registration fee for animals that have been spayed, neutered, and micro - chipped.
He thanked the residents who came to the Board Meeting with their concerns, or who
otherwise contacted the Board. He also thanked Corporation Counsel and the Board of
Environment Health for their assistance with this ordinance.

D. Trustee Marcus'.
Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 11 -22, 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 contractor and subcontractor 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" is defined to mean all
fixed works constructed by any public body or paid for wholly or in part out of public funds,
Each year, during the month of June, the Act requires the Village to investigate and ascertain
the prevailing rate of wages.
There was no discussion on Ordinance 11 -22.
2. Next, Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 11 -24, Amending Title 5,
Chapter 13, Particle F, Section 4 of the Municipal Code Entitled "Restricted Parking
Streets."
He explained that the Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a request to establish parking
restrictions on Ferris Avenue between Lincoln and Capulina Avenue to allow on- street parking
during off -peak travel times on Ferris to provide additional parking for a business and
residents. The Commission made a two -part recommendation on this request. The on- street
parking during off -peak travel times will be considered by the Board as part of a separate
action. The other part of the issue is updating the parking restrictions to match the intended
design of the recent construction improvements on Ferris. Current, parking is allowed on the
west side of Ferris from a point 75 feet north of the centerline of Lincoln Avenue to the center-
line of Capulina. The recent construction improvements on Ferris near the intersection of
Lincoln include a long right -turn bay where on- street parking was formerly allowed. To allow
on- street parking on Ferris near the Lincoln Avenue intersection will hinder southbound traffic
moving through the intersection, so the Traffic Safety Commission's recommendation is to
amend the parking restrictions to allow the intersection to operate as intended in its improved
design.
There was no further discussion on Ordinance 11 -24.
Trustee Marcus announced, as the new Community Relations Commission liaison, that
the Commission is partnering with the Farmers' Market on Saturday, June 25, to present
"Welcome to Morton Grove" day. This event will present information and feature many
organizations that make Morton Grove unique, including the Morton Grove Library, the Garden
Club, Friends of the Forest Preserves, and the Morton Grove Days Commission. Village
officials will be present as will several local religious entities. The Farmers' Market is open
from 8am to 1 pm and is located at 8930 Waukegan Road. For more information, check their
website at mgfarmersmarket.com.
Trustee Marcus noted that the North Shore Senior Center has recently recognized Jeanette
Frasier and Betty Primer as "Super Senior Contributors." He and the Board congratulated
both women.

Re: Plan Commission Case PCII -02; Request for Text Amendments to the
Unified Development Code and a Special Use in the M2 District (regarding
proposed entertainment use at 8220 N. Austin)
Commission Report
Legal notice for this public hearing was published in the local newspaper (Morton Grove
Champion) on June 2, 2011, A public notice sign was posted on the site on June 3, 2011, and
notification letters were sent to surrounding properties on .tune 2, 2011,
On June 20, 2011, a public hearing was conducted by the Morton Grove Plan Commission after
notice for this public hearing was duly provided, as noted above, for Plan Commission case PC 11-
07. PC 11 -07 consists of a request by applicant Big City Entertainment for text amendments to
the Unified Development Code, and a Special Use, to allow an entertainment use (haunted house)
in the M2 General Manufacturing District, at 8220 N. Austin,
Director of Community Development and Village Planner John D. Said introduced the case on
behalf of the Village. He reviewed details of the request, including the proposed text amendment
language, the proposed haunted house's characteristics and the building and site layout, The
proposed haunted house is called 'Fear City',
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Mr, Chuck Grendys of Big City, Mr. Tony Duffy,
marketing consultant to Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Mark Oieson of Ament, traffic consultant These
three testined concerning the request, and Village staff Mr. Said provided an overview of the
project. The testimony and overview included the following information:
The subject site is 8220 N. Austin Ave., located on the west side of Austin, north of Dakton
Street. The proposed tenant space for Fear City is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the way baci:
along the building, with at least one tenant within the building in front of Fear City's space
towards Austin Ave. and more tenants to the west of the Fear City space. The building is laid out
on an east west axis, perpendicular to Austin Ave. The site is bounded on the east by Austin
Ave., with residential uses across the street, on the north and south by industral uses, and on
the west by the Milwaukee North railroad tracks (with Lehigh Ave, and industrial uses beyond the
railroad tracks to the west),
Feat City plans to occupy at r/-
39,000 square foot tenant
space for their
haunted house
business. The facility will include a
customer waiting area with
vending services
(warmed food,

Tel: (847) 965 -4100
Fax:

soft drinks, Fear City apparel), in addition to the primary haunted house
entertainment area.
The
applicant proposes to have the facility open
a maximum of 30 days
during the year for
the
Halloween season, with hours from 7 pm — 11
pm Monday — Thursday,
and 7 pm — 12 am Friday
and Saturday nights. (Discussion during the
public hearing indicated that the applicant
also
desires to have the facility stay open until 12
am on October 30 and
31, so the conditions
of
approval reflect that request).
Village staff provided an overview concerning the request, specifically the following items:
• The proposed text amendment was researched and developed using material from
the APA (American Planning Association;; the definition was purposely kept general
to be flexible enough to address future uses that may wish to locate in the M2
District.
• The proposed definition for the Unified Development Code reads as follows:
Entertainment Use: An establishment that provides entertainment and /or recreational
activities for a fee to visitors. Any type of adult use, gambling, or intertrack wagering
facility is specifically excluded from this definition.
• Staff proposes that this use only be allowed as a special use in the M2 District. The
unique nature of entertainment uses, especially as to hours of operation, traffic
patterns and other factors makes them significantly different than typical M2
businesses. At the same time, an amendment allows for future flexibility for possible
adaptive re -use of industrial areas.
• This use's proposed operating hours, which are evenings and weekends, do not
coincide with operating hours of most of the businesses in this area, which helps
reduce potential traffic issues.
• The business activity will be limited to approximately 1 month per year, while the
remaining 11 months of the year, the use will remain in place, which essentially
means it will be a storage facility with minimal traffic to- and -from the business.
The applicant testified concerning this request, specifically the following items:
• Business projections indicated possible attendance of 20,000 over the Halloween
holiday period. This translates to an average of up to 1,000 attendees per day, over
a several hour period. However, traffic volume can be accommodated on local
roads, and is somewhat less than other uses might generate as it is spread out over
a several hour period. Also, vehicle occupancy for visitors is higher than normal, as
visitors to this type of 'business typically do so as a group outing.
• The proposed customer base will be regional in nature, with many visitors from
other communities. Ticket prices will be in the $20 - 30 range for each person. No
one under the age of 12 will be permitted.
• Traffic and parking will be monitored by on -site parking attendants and off -duty
police officers that will help direct traffic, guide visitors to the parking lots, and
otherwise help maintain order of outdoor operations.
• Over 250 spaces are available on the site itself, and parking agreements have been
reached with adjacent property owners to the north and south, allowing a parking
capacity of 400 cars. All parking will be provided free of charge.
• Parking attendants and off -duty police will monitor possible parking off -site,
especially from the adjacent residential area. Should they observe visitors walking
across Austin Ave., the visitors will be instructed to return to their vehicles and park
in designated areas.
• Fire Department recommendations will be met with appropriate sprinklers, access
ways, emergency exits, and any other required improvements.
After conclusion of the presentation, the Commission then posed a number of questions and
comments concerning the proposal. Commission questions and applicant responses (in
parentheses) are summarized as follows:
• Where are all the parking spaces provided? Are they all on -site? (Over 250 spaces
will be provided on -site, with the rest from the buildings to the north and south;
agreements have been reached with these buildings to use this parking during Fear
City's hours of operation, which are after these businesses close.)
• What days will the business be open? What about the hours of operation? (Fear
City will be open approximately 21 days during October, with some additional days
possible for group outings. Upon further discussion, the applicant concurred with
the Commission's recommendation for a condition of approval to identify a 30 -day
maximum opening period.)
• Will signs be provided indicating the business and parking? identification signs will
be provided in front and on the building at the place of business, along with some
temporary signs at access driveway. Attendants will also be on hand to guide
drivers to parking.)
• Will vending be provided? (Yes; this will consist of Fear City appare! such as hats and
t- shirts, and warmed food likely from area restaurants. Soft drink service is also
planned; no liquor will be served at this business.)
• What are the planned hours? (Hours will be Monday — Thursday 7 pm —11 pm;
Friday — Saturday 7 pm — 12 am. The applicant also requested an exception to allow
opening until 12 am October 30 -31, no matter which days these dates are on, and
the Commission agreed to this request, which is reflected in the conditions of
approval.)
• Does Fear City anticipate opening this year? (Yes.)
• Do you see an opportunity for using this business during the other 11 months of the
year? (That's not likely at this time( but if the opportunity arises, the applicant
would need to return to the Plan Commission for an amendment to the special use.)
During discussion, the Commission emphasized that this business, if approved, would be required
to adhere to the Standards for Special Uses and the approved conditions. If the business did not
meet these requirements, then the special use could be withdrawn by the Village.
After Commissioner questions were concluded, any members of the public in attendance were
invited to express their views on the Project. They included the following individuals:
tric Poders, 7040 Foster Ave., with positive comments about the proposal; that it's a
good reuse of industrial space. He mentioned that sound could be reduced by using
sound absorption suspended from the ceiling (applicant responded that such
equipment would block pre sprinklers, and that sound should be contained on site
and within building due to layout and interior activities).
• Jody McKeown, 5944 Monroe, with concerns about teenagers, property damage,
volume of visitors, and bad precedent this would set.
• Alison and Randy Giuffre, 5944 Monroe, with concern about parking problems,
underage drinking /substance abuse, trespassing, violence, noise and trafric.
b Colin hoather of Magra'oar (neighboring business at 6100 Madison C-L.), with
questions concerning parking and truck traffic.
® jack Malloy, 5937 Washington, with questions about benefits of this business for
Morton Grove, and concerns about emergency service requirements, and that the
business should go somewhere eise.
Joseph Borst, 8340 Callie, with questions about marketing, and concerns about
volume of visitors.
The applicant and Commissioners responded to these concerns with a number of points including
the following:
• The relatively higher admission price (around 525 on average) will reduce negative
elements by making this site a destination. Therefore, there will not be as much
"pass -by" traffic, and external issues such as criminal activity will not be as likely.
6 Fear City will emphasize good neighbor relations with parking attendants and off -
duty police constantly monitoring traffic and parking locations, including redirecting
people from parking in adjacent residentiai areas to the ample parking on the
subject site and adjacent available lots.
® The special use can be rescinded if the conditions of approval and standards for
special use are not met (this was mentioned a few times during the proceedings).
• The traffic volume is spread out over several weeks and several hours during each
evening the business is open,.
• Fear City staff will clean up the site on a nightly basis to maintain a clean
appearance and optimal site conditions.
® Vehicle occupancy will be higher for visitors to this site, as this type of business is
typically seen as a destination for group outings.
Findings of Fact
The applicants also testified to the applicable Standards for a Special Use as specified in Sec. 12-
16-4C of the Unified Development Code, The Commission concurred with testimony from Mr.
Oieson, Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Duffy, and based their decision on, these findings.
The proposed use will be monitored and managed to maintain the public health, safety and
welfare through its operations with parking monitoring and off -duty police assistance. The
proposed use provides an additional entertainment opportunity for the public.
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 business will operate during hours that are not the same as the typical
industrial business operating hours, which will minimize difficulties with adjacent properties
and provide more use for otherwise unused areas. Parking and traffic attendants will be
used to keep parking on the site.
3. Orderly Development establishment
normal and orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding
property for uses permitted in the zoning district,
The existing property is located within the M2 General Manufacturing District, and the
project is using a portion of an existing building to its fullest extent. This site and all
surrounding sites are already fully developed and used, and this use does not change that
status.
4. Adequate facilities — Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
The use of this existing tenant space for an entertainment use (haunted 'house) does not
change requirements for utilities or drainage.
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 applicant provided a traffic and parking plan that the Commission found acceptable for
this use. The applicant also testified that parking attendants and off -duty police personnel
would be employed to assist with parking and traffic circulation. The applicant's business
will use existing access points, and thereby will maintain the existing traffic flow pattern.
fencing 6, Adequate Buffering — Adequate provided ,
ensure the right of , of ro , g properties to provide i o , f...
safety or to screen parking t other visually incompatible
The Fear City tenant space is located over 400 feet away from the nearest residential use to
the east, and will use existing parking on its site and adjacent industrial sites away from the
residential area, so existing buffering will be maintained as is.
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-
3A2, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the village Board of
Trustees as a part of the special use permit.
The proposed Special Use will be required to meet all Village Codes and Ordinances, and
otherwise the proposal and the building appear to conform to applicable zoning
requirements.

To amend Title 5, Chapter 13, Article F, Section 4 Entitled "Restricted Parking Streets"
To change the limits of parking restrictions on Ferris Avenue to allow the unhindered
operation of Ferris Avenue at its intersection with Lincoln Avenue.
The Traffic Safety Commission received a request to establish parking restrictions on Ferris
Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Capulina Avenue to allow on- street parking during off -
peal: travel times on Ferris Avenue to provide additional parking for a business and residents.
The Traffic Safety Commission has made a 2 -part recommendation on this request. The on -street
parking during off -peak travel times will be considered by the Board as part of 'a separate action.
The other part of this issue is updating the parking restrictions in the Municipal Code to match the
mended design of the recent construction improvements on Ferris Avenue. The Municipal Code
allows parking on the west side of Ferris Avenue from a point 75 feet north of the centerline of
Lincoln Avenue to the centerline of Capulina Avenue. The recent construction improvement on
Ferris near the intersection at Lincoln Avenue includes a long right turn bay where on- sweet
parking was allowed. Allowing on -street parking near the intersection will hinder southbound
traffic moving through the intersection during the morning and evening rush hours. The Traffic
Safety Commission recommended amending the parking restrictions to allow the intersection to
operate as it was intended in the design.

Division.
The Public Works Department routinely reviews vehicles and equipment for
fuel economy, safety, dependability, age, and excessive repair cost.
Replacing or eliminating equipment which no longer meets the department's
needs. During the bidding process, vendors brought various chippers for
demonstration. The Forestry crew tested five chipper makes and models
with the Mobark, Beever MI8R 200hp being far superior than the lesser
horse power models.
Public Works and Finance Departments.
Funding in the 2011 Public Works Adopted Budget have been approved in
the amount of $62,000 for replacement of vehicles and related equipment.
The equipment replaced in this resolution will be in the amount of $47.590

Memo.
ATTACH MEW "A"
This memo is written In regards to the recent wood chipper hid opening.
The ve meer model, which well the bid, exhibited some problems with its ease of usage. It had a safety feature
that was located on the feed tray that v ✓as too sensitive and easily activated during the normal course of feeding
brush. Each time it was activated the material being fed would be reversed and the user was required to walk
around the side of th= machine to depress a button in order to start the feed wheels again. This process would
occur numerous times, often several times on the same bfa;nch.. Ultimately, the job of feeding branches became
more difficult and frustrating for the use;.
The two models that wel ked the best during our test demonstrations were the 200 horsepower Morbark and the
140 horsepower Bandit. Each of the machines demonstrated tare quality necessary for the work that is expected of
the Forestry Division. Taking into consideration [he large number of Ash trees alone that the Village of Nmrton
Grove will be removing in the coming years ( approximately 1000) 1 believe that these facts should be given
consideraticn when choosing which chipper is the correct choice for the Village rather than merely accepting me
lowest hio .
in conclusion, given the recent economic hard times and the Village's inability to replace equipment reguiariv, I am
asking that consideration be given to purchase piece of equipmentthat will endure the work load that will be
expected of it during the coming year,_ While it is easy to review the bid opening and say that one chipper is more
economical than another, I don't helleve [hat the Village can afford to make the wrong decision with this purchase.
Fiease take this letter into consideration when making the final decision and aflow the For Division to have a
chipper that will allow it to efficiently address the much greater work load that wilt be expected of it in the coming
years

Re: Plan Commission Case PC11 -02; Request for Special Use for Fitness
Facility at 7300 Dempster (Village Plaza)
-,,
Legal notice for this public hearing was published in the local newspaper (Morton Grove
Champion) on April 28, 2011. A public notice sign was posted on the site on April 29, 2011, and
notification: letters were sent to surrounding properties on April 28, 2011,
On May 16, 2011, a public hearing was conducted by the Morton Grove Plan Commission after
notice for this public hearing was duly provided, as noted above, for Plan Commission case PC 11-
02. PC 11 -02 consists of a request by applicant Planet Fitness for a Special Use to allow a
physical fitness facility in the C1 General Commercial District, at 7300 Dempster in the Village
Plaza Shopping Center.
Director of Community Development and Village Planner John D. Said introduced the case on
behalf of the Viliage. He reviewed details of the request, including Planet Fitness' characteristics
and the layout of the shopping center.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Mr. Anthony Rufo of Planet Fitness, Mr. Rufo
testified concerning the request, and Mr. Said from the Village provided an overview of the
project. The testimony and overview included the following information:
The subject site is Village Plaza Shopping Center, located at the northwest corner of Dempster
and Harlem. Planet Fitness' proposed tenant space is the westernmost space in the shopping
center, formerly occupied by Shoe Carnival. The site is bounded on the east by Harlem Ave.,
with commercial and residential uses across the street, on the north and west by residential, and
on the south by commercial in the Village of Niles.
The site contains the in -fine shopping center with a number of commercial /retail tenants, along
with two outiots. One outiot at the southeast corner of the site (northwest corner of
Dempster /Harlem intersection) contains Kappy's Restaurant, while the other outiot, directly south
of the subject tenant space, is the location of a future Culver's Restaurant which is under
construction.

Tel: (847) 965 -4100 Fax: (847) 465 -4162
�r;
Planet Fitness
proposes to occupy the existing
, /-
14,000 square foot tenant space for a new
fitness facility.
The facility will be staffed at all
times
with at least two employees. The applicant
has noted the
facility will be open on a 24 -hour
basis
to accommodate customers.
The floor plan indicates a first floor area as well as a mezzanine. The plan shows the mezzanine
area will include weightlifting machines, while the first floor will include aerobic machines and
other fitness- related areas and services. The facility will also include locker rooms with changing
areas, showers and lavatory facilities
After conclusion of the presentation, the Commission then posed a number of questions and
comments concerning the proposal. Commission questions and applicant responses (in
parentheses) are summarized as follows:
• What are the enrollment fees? (Enrollment fees will be a lower price than the typical
health club, such as a $59 enrollment and $10 a month thereafter. The Planet
Fitness website calls their pricing "absurdly low ".)
How many staff and trainers will be present during various hours? (This will depend
on the activities scheduled, but typically there will be a minimum of two staff
working at ail times.)
• Explain the similarities and differences with other businesses such as Cardinal Fitness
and Bally's. (Planet Fitness customers are generally not the same as Bally's
customers; Planet Fitness encourages a "judgment free" environment, where
customers are not intimated. Heavy weightlifting, dropping of weights, and other
such activities is not part of the Planet Fitness atmosphere.)
h How will locker room security be handled? (Customers will be able to lock persona!
items in their lockers when exercising and showering. Staff will monitor locker room
entrances and exits as well_)
6 Parking demand and location. (As this is a smaller facility, parking demand Is also
expected to be correspondingly lower. Signs will be posted to guide customers to
park in front of the facility.)
Parking resulted in more extensive discussion by the applicant, staff and the commission.
Concerns were expressed by Trustee ThM, who appeared as both a resident and as Board liaison
to the Plan Commission, that nighttime parking in the west part of the site, adjacent to the
residential area, would generate complaints from residents. The Commission then discussed
various parking issues focused on nighttime usage of the west lot, At the same time, they also
reviewed the issue of parking demand in front of the building and the possibility that spaces
usually used by customers of nearby retail stores could be occupied by Planet Fitness visitors.
Upon asking the applicant, the Commission learned the front of the building, specifically the area
in front of the Planet Fitness space, had approximately 60 parking spaces. Due to the smaller
size of Planet Fitness and more limited activities when compared to Bally's, the Commission
determined customers would tend to park in front anyway. Further, the Commission chose to
delete a draft condition of approval (in the staff memorandum) that recommended parking along
the west side. (Staff had recommended the condition to minimize parking encroachment into
adjacent retail areas.)
The Commission asked the applicant to install signs in the Planet Fitness facility asking customers
and employees to be courteous to neighbors. Mr. Rufo testified he agrees to this, and further
testified he was willing to adhere to any condition of approval made /recommended by the
Commission for parking control.
Finally, Commissioners emphasized the public notice for this proposal was provided to all
surrounding property owners within 250' of the subject site, yet no one from the public that lives
west of the site was present to testify concerning this proposal
Findings of pact
Applicant Mr, Tony Rufo then testified to the applicable Standards for a Special Use as specified in
Sec. 12 -16-4C of the Unified Development Code. The Commission concurred with Mr. Rufo's
testimony, and based their decision on, these findings.
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 proposed use will actually enhance public health by providing a physical fitness facility
at a reasonaoie cost for customers. The proposed use is generally in keeping with the
public interest as a commercial use.
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 project is typical of uses found at shopping centers and commercial areas.
The planned front location of parking will reduce usage of the side parking area closest to
residential areas.
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 existing property is located within the Cl General Commercial District, and the project
is using a portion of an existing building to its fullest extent. This site and all surrounding
sites are already fully developed and used, and this use does not change that status.
4. Adequate Facilities - Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
The use of this existing tenant space for a physical fitness facility does not change
requirements for utilities or drainage.
S. 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.
No significant changes to existing traffic are expected due to this minor site change. Th:
applicant's business will use existing access points, and thereby will maintain the existing
traffic flow pattern.
s Adequate Buffering Adequate ,g and/or r shall be provided w
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 existing site includes various fencing and landscape hedges and buffering along the
west property line adjacent to the residential area. This will help minimize noise and light
between properties.
7. Conformance to Other Regulations other respects,
conform o applicable provisions of Ordinance ■ . thereto.
Variation from provisions of this Ordinance, as provided for in Section 12-16-
3AI, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of
Trustees as a part of •- permit,
The proposed Special Use will be required to meet all Village Codes and Ordinances, and
otherwise the proposal and the building appear to conform to applicable zoning
requirements.

AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
AND T.P.I. BUILDING CODE CONSULTANTS, INC.
FOR PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTIONAL SERVICES
Introduced: June 27, 2011
Synopsis: This resolution will authorize a contract with T.P.I. Building Code Consultants, Inc. to perform
Village plan review and inspectional services, and other functions formally performed by the
Village's Building Department.
I
Purpose: Adoption of this resolution will provide for the outsourcing of many functions formally
performed by the Village's Building Department. The outsourcing of these services will provide
more flexibility in the allocation of resources, and a diversified level of expertise.
Background: With the retirement of the Village's Building Commissioner, the Village Board requested staff
review options for a cost effective professional and courteous provision of plan review, code
enforcement, and inspectional services. Village staff developed a Request for Proposal (RFP)
and received multiple proposals. After interviewing several companies, it was determined T.P.I.
Building Code Consultants, Inc. (TPI) best suited the Village's needs. If this resolution is
approved, the Village will retain this company to perform plan review, zoning review,
inspections, code enforcement, emergency inspections, and appearances for the Village.
Services may be reduced at the option of the Village or expanded at the mutual option of the
parties. The consultant will be supervised by the Village Administrator. Tile consultant will
charge the Village on an hourly basis and it is expected the current hourly fee will be
comparable and possibly less than salaries and benefits paid to former Building Department
employees. One of the benefits of outsourcing these services is the Village will have the benefit
I of master code inspection professionals, an Illinois licensed architect, certified plumbing
inspectors, residential and commercial building inspectors, and plan examiners. TPI provides
similar services for other municipalities such as Lockwood, Lakewood, Lincolnwood, Country
Side, and Bensenville.

This ordinance will approve a text amendment to amend the Unified Development Code to
allow entertainment uses in the M2 Manufacturing District as a special use.
To allow entertainment uses in the M2 Manufacturing District as a special use.
The Unified Development Code (UDC) is a comprehensive set of regulations for the zoninu of
land and development of parcels within the Village. Currently, the UDC does not allow
entertainment uses in the M2 General Manufacturing District, The current applicant has
submitted a request requesting an amendment to allow an entertainment use as a suecial use.
While the applicant desires to locate a haunted house at P20 N. Austin, which is zoned M2:
the Village's review of the current proposal is for all M2 areas of the Village.
Based on review of zoning requirements from other communities surveyed by the American
Planning Association (APA), staff determined allowing entertainment as a special use in M2
would be reasonable, and would provide opportunities for adaptive reuse of industrial areas.
Special use review is warranted because of the unique operations of entertainment uses which
usually have different hours and parking needs than most typical M2 uses. Staff also added a
phrase to the definition prohibiting alcohol at such facilities. This topic was discussed by the
Plan Commission at the public hearing even though the definition was not changed at that
time Staff recommends this change.
The Plan Commission recommends approval of these amendments.

To: Village President and Board of Trustees
From: Ronald L, Farkas, Chairman, Plan Commission
Date: June 21, 2011
Re: Plan Commission Case PC11 -07; Request for Text Amendments to the
Unified Development Code and a Special Use in the M2 District (regarding
proposed entertainment use at 8220 hi, Austin)
Commission Report
Legal notice for this public hearing was published in the local newspaper (Morton Grove
Champion) on June 2, 2011. A public notice sign was posted on the site on June 3, 2011, and
notification letters were sent to surrounding properties on June 2, 2011.
On June 20, 2011, a public hearing was conducted by the Morton Grove Plan Commission after
notice for this public hearing was duly provided, as noted above, for Plan Commission case PC 11-
07. PC 11 -07 consists of a request by applicant Big City Entertainment for text amendments to
the Unified Development Code, and a Special Use, to allow an entertainment use (haunted house)
in the M2 General Manufacturing District, at 8220 N. Austin.
Director of Community Development and Village Planner John D. Said introduced the case on
behalf of the Village. He reviewed details of the request, including the proposed text amendment
language, the proposed haunted house's characteristics and the building and site layout. The
proposed haunted house is called `Fear City'.
The appficant was represented at the hearing by Mr. Chuck Grendys of Big City, Mr, Tony Duffy,
marketing consultant to Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Mark Oleson of Ament, traffic consultant These
three testified concerning the request, and Village staff Mr. Said provided an overview of the
proiect. The testimony and overview included the following information:
The subject site is 8220 N. Austin Ave., located on the west side of Austin, north of Cakton
Street. The proposed tenant space for Fear City is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the way back
along the building, with at least one tenant within the building in front of Fear City's space
towards Austin Ave. and more tenants to the west of the Fear City space. The building is laid out
on an east -west axis, perpendicular to Austin Ave. The site is bounded on the east by Austin
Ave., with residential uses across the street, on the north and south by industrial uses, and on
the west by the Milwaukee North railroad tracks (with Lehigh Ave. and industrial uses beyond the
railroad tracks to the west).
Feat City plans to occupy at +/ 39,000 square foot tenant space for their haunted house
business. The facility will include a customer waiting area with vending services (warmed food,
Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center
6101 Capulina Avenue • Morton Grove, Illinois 60055 -2485
Tel: 847 965 -4100 4 � 8=
( Fax: ,,R 7; 965 -416_ i'
soft drinks, Fear City apparel), in addition to the primary haunted house entertainment area. The
applicant proposes to have the facility open a maximum of 30 days during the year for the
Halloween season, with hours from 7 pm — 11 pm Monday — Thursday, and 7 pm — 12 am Friday
and Saturday nights. (Discussion during the public hearing indicated that the applicant also
desires to have the facility stay open until 12 am on October 30 and 31, so the conditions of
approval reflect that request).
Village staff provided an overview concerning the request, specifically the following it
• The proposed text amendment was researched and developed using material from
the APA (American Planning Association); the definition was purposely kept general
to be flexible enough to address future uses that may wish to locate in the M2
District,
• The proposed definition for the Unified Development Code reads as follows
Entertainment Use: An establishment that provides entertainment and /or recreational
activities for a fee to visitors. Any type of adult use, gambling, or intertrack wagering
facility is spec!><cally excluded from this definition.
Staff proposes that this use only be allowed as a special use in the M2 District. The
unique nature of entertainment uses, especially as to hours of operation, traffic
pattems and other factors makes them significantly different than typical M2
businesses. At the same time, an amendment allows for future flexibility for possible
adaptive re -use of industrial areas.
5 This use's proposed operating hours, which are evenings and weekends, do not
coincide with operating hours of most of the businesses in this area, which helps
reduce potential traffic issues.
The business activity will be limited to approximately 1 month per year, while the
remaining 11 months of the year, the use will remain in place, which essentially
means it will be a storage facility with minimal traffic to- and -from the business.
The applicant testified concerning this request, specifically the following items:
® Business projections indicated possible attendance of 20,000 over the Halloween
holiday period. This translates to an average of up to 1,000 attendees per day, over
a several hour period. However, traffic volume can be accommodated on local
roads, and is somewhat less than other uses might generate as it is spread out over
a several hour period. Also, vehicle occupancy for visitors is higher than normal, as
visitors to this type of business typically do so as a group outing.
The proposed customer base will be regional in nature, with many visitors from
other communities. Ticket prices will be in the S20 — 30 range for each person. No
one under the age of 12 will be permitted.
® Traffic and parking will be monitored by on -site parking attendants and ofFduty
Police officers that will help direct traffic, guide visitors to the parking lots, and
otherwise help maintain order of outdoor operations.
Over 250 spaces are available on the site itself, and parking agreements have been
reached with adjacent property owners to the north and south, allowing a parking
capacity of 400 cars. All parking will be provided free of charge.
Parking attendants and off -duty police will monitor possible parking off -site,
especially from the adjacent residential area. Should they observe visitors walking
across Austin Ave., the visitors will be instructed to return to their vehicles and park
in designated areas.
Fire Department recommendations will be met with appropriate sprinklers, access
ways, emergency exits, and any other required improvements.
After conclusion: of the presentation, the Commission then posed a number of questions and
comments concerning the proposal. Commission questions and applicant responses (in
parentheses) are summarized as follows:
• Where are all the parking spaces provided? Are they all on -site? (Over 250 spaces
will be provided on -site, with the rest from the buildings to the north and south;
agreements have been reached with these buildings to use this parking during Fear
City's hours of operation, which are after these businesses close.)
• What days will the business be open? What about the hours of operation? (Fear
City will be open approximately 21 days during October, with some additional days
possible for group outings. Upon further discussion, the applicant concurred with
the Commission's recommendation for a condition of approval to identify a 30 -day
maximum opening period.)
• Will signs be provided indicating the business and parking? Identification signs will
be provided in front and on the building at the place of business, along with some
temporary signs at access driveway. Attendants will also be on hand to guide
drivers to parking.)
• Will vending be provided? (Yes; this will consist of Fear City apparel such as hale; and
t- shirts, and warmed food likely from area restaurants. Soft drink service is also
planned; no liquor will be served at this business.)
• What are the planned hours? (Hours will be Monday — Thursday 7 pm — 11 pm;
Friday — Saturday 7 pm — 12 am. The applicant also requested an exception to allow
opening until 12 am October 30 -31, no matter which days these dates are on, and
the Commission agreed to this request, which is reflected in the conditions of
approval.)
• Does Fear City anticipate opening this year? (Yes.)
• Do you see an opportunity for using this business during the other 11 months of the
Year? (That's not likely at this time, but if the opportunity arises, the applicant
would need to return to the Plan Commission for an amendment to the special use.)
During discussion, the Commission emphasized that this business, if approved, would be required
to adhere to the Standards for Special Uses and the approved conditions. If the business did not
meet these requirements, then the special use could be withdrawn by the Village.
After Commissioner questions were concluded, any members of the public in attendance were
invited to express their views on the project. They included the following individuals:
Eric Poders, 7040 Foster Ave., with positive comments about the proposal; that it's a
good reuse of industrial space. He mentioned that sound could 'oe reduced by using
sound absorption suspended from the ceiling (applicant responded that such
equipment would block fire sprinklers, and that sound should be contained on site
and within building due to layout and interior activities).
® Jody McKeown, 5944 Monroe, with concerns about teenagers, property damage,
volume of visitors, and bad precedent this would set
• Alison and Randy Giuffre, 5944 Monroe, with concern about parking problems,
underage drinking /substance abuse, trespassing, violence, noise and traffic.
• Colin Hoather of Magrabar (neighboring business at 6100 Madison Ct.), with
questions concerning parking and truck traffic,
• Jack Malloy, 5937 Washington, with questions about benefits of this business for
Morton Grove, and concerns about emergency service requirements, and that the
business should go somewhere else.
• Joseph Borst, 8340 Caliie, with questions about marketing, and concerns about
volume of visitors.
The applicant and Commissioners responded to these concerns with a number of points including
the following:
The relatively higher admission price (around $25 on average) will reduce negative
elements by making this site a destination. T'nerefore, there will not be as much
"pass -by" traffic, and external issues such as criminal activity will not be as likely.
« Fear City will emphasize good neighbor relations with parking attendants and off -
duty police constantly monitoring traffic and parking locations, including redirecting
people from parking in adjacent residential areas to the ample parking on the
subject site and adjacent available lots.
The special use can be rescinded if the conditions of approval and standards for
special use are not met (this was mentioned a few times during the proceedings).
• The traffic volume is spread out over several weeks and several hours during each
evening the business is open.
Fear City staff will clean up the site on a nightly basis to maintain, a clean
appearance and optimal site conditions.
• Vehicle occupancy will be higher for visitors to this site, as this type of business is
typically seen as a destination for group outings.
Findings of Fac`
The applicants also testified to the applicable Standards for a Special Use as specified in Sec. 12
16-4C of the Unified Development Code. The Commission concurred with testimony from Mr.
Cleson, Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Duffy, and based their decision on, these findings.
Preservation
public maintenance and operation of the Special Use will not be detrin
endanger the •. or general
The proposed use will be monitored and managed to maintain, the public health, safety and
welfare through its operations with parking monitoring and off -duty police assistance. The
proposed use provides an additional entertainment opportunity for the public.
4
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 'business will operate during hours that are not the same as the typical
industrial business operating hours, which will minimize difficulties with adjacent properties
and provide more use for otherwise unused areas. Parking and traffic attendants will be
used to keep parking on the site.
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 existing property is located within the M2 General Manufacturing District, and the
project is using a portion of an existing building to its fullest extent. This site and all
surrounding sites are already fully developed and used, and this use does not change that
status.
4. Adequate Facilities — Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
The use
of
this existing tenant space for an entertainment
use (haunted
house)
does not
change
requirements
for utilities or drainage.
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 applicant provided a traffic and parking plan that the Commission found acceptable for
this use. The applicant also testified that parking attendants and off -duty police personnel
would be employed to assist with parking and traffic circulation. The applicant's business
will use existing access points, and thereby will maintain the existing traffic flow pattern,
6, Adequate Suffering — 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
The Fear City tenant space is located over 400 feet away from the nearest residential use to
the east, and will use existing parking on Its site and adjacent industrial sites away from the
residential area, so existing buffering will be maintained as is,
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 -36-
3641, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of
Trustees as a part of the special use permit.
The proposed
Special Use will be required to meet
all Village Codes and
Ordinances, and
otherwise the
proposal and the building appear to
conform to applicable
zoning
requirements.
