awarded this for the Village's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year
ended December 31, 2009. The Board joined Trustee Toth in congratulating Mr. Horne for

2. Presentation of Plan Commission Case PC 11 -04 Requesting a Special Use Permit for
Outside Sales at 7220 Dempster.
a. Plan Commissioner Chairman Ron Farkas presented this report. The applicant is Produce
World, Economic Development Director John Said noted that Produce World is relocating to
the Village Plaza Shopping Center and will be occupying the space at the east part of the
center formerly held by Old Navy. Produce World would like to install outdoor display areas
along a portion of the front of their building, under the existing canopy. Sales would take place
inside, the outside would be for display only. It would extend about three feet out from the
building, which is about the same depth as a row of shopping carts.
a`NGrtuYesk)iJul ;i0,�1'tx`Sbau�.11A4�iiriil
IV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
Chairman Farkas reported that Mr. Said emphasized that the Produce World store as a whole
does not require a Special Use, the Special Use request is limited to the proposed outdoor
display.
Chairman Farkas said that one individual spoke at the Plan Commission hearing, with
complaints about the chain -link fence, specifically, that the privacy slats were in disrepair
and didn't provide adequate screening. The applicant responded that the fencing, which
extends the entire length of the center, is the shopping center owner's responsibility. No
other interested parties spoke.
d. After deliberation by the Plan Commission, Chairman Farkas noted that the Special Use
request was recommended for approval by a 5 -1 vote. He voted against the proposal
because he was considered that one of the seven conditions for granting a Special Use
permit —the condition regarding "adequate buffering" —was not met.
Mayor Staackmann asked if any of the Board members had any questions for Chairman
Farkas.
Trustee
Thill asked
if the produce would be brought out
each morning
and brought
back in at
the end
of the day.
Chairman Farkas said that question
hadn't come
up during the
hearing.
Trustee Marcus asked if any of the other merchants in the shopping center had any inquiries
or provided any feedback or input. Chairman Farkas said that, to his knowledge, none had —
at least, not at the hearing. Trustee Marcus also asked if other stores in the center could have
"sidewalk sales" and display merchandise outside. Corporation Counsel Liston responded that
there was nothing about that in the Village's code currently, but that staff has begun discuss-
ing and looking at it in the context of the Village's code on "temporary signage11
g. There being
no further discussion, Trustee
Thill moved to accept the Plan
Commission's re-
port. Trustee
Marcus seconded the motion.
Motion passed unanimously
via voice vote.
3. Presentation of Plan Commission Case PC 11
a. Chairman Farkas presented this case to the Board, The applicant, Hyun Sock Kim, is request-
ing a Special Use to allow a senior citizen center (adult day care) at 6027 Dempster. The site
is in a strip mall with 8 tenant spaces, located between School Street and Austin Avenue.
b. Mr. Kim proposes to renovate the existing tenant space for a senior lounge for a variety of
social activities and classes. It will be open weekdays from 10am to 4pm, with 10 -15 visitors
the first year, and an ultimate membership goal of 25. The tenant space is about 1,000 square
feet. and features an open area in front (for classes and social activities), a small kitchen,
and restrooms. A shuttle van will be used to transport members between the center and their
residences.
c. Chairman Farkas said that Mr. Kim testified that members of the facility will go through a
rigorous screening. There would be two employees at the center at all times. Because of
the small size, there will be a cap of 15 members plus 2 employees at all times, When
membership grows, the times for the activities will be staggered.

SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
MrtStts;a`i:Jmyll,x011?atiard'f =:.,
d. Family members will
not be allowed to pick up or
drop off;
all transportation will be done
using the shuttle van,
This is a Medicaid program,
so the
applicant has applied to the Illinois
Department of Public
Health and the Department
of Aging.
e. Chairman Farkas said that no interested parties spoke at the Public Hearing. At the
conclusion of the hearing. the Plan Commission voted 6 -0 in favor of approving the Speciai
Use request, with conditions, including one stating that no drop -off or pick -up will be done
by any family members, as that would unreasonably monopolize the parking lot for the other
tenants; and a provision stating that a maximum of 15 people would be on site.
f. Trustee Marcus asked what other businesses the Kims were in. Chairman: Farkas felt they
had other such locations
in the City
of Chicago.
Trustee Marcus asked if they had any other
senior facility affiliations.
Chairman
Farkas said
not to his knowledge.
g. There
being no
further
discussion, Trustee Thill moved to accept the Plan Commission's
report.
Trustee
Marcus
seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote.
a. Chairman Farkas noted that the applicant in this case is the Village of Morton Grove,
Economic Development Director John Said explained that the proposed text amendments
would allow public notice signs to include general information announcing that a certain
location is the subject of an upcoming public hearing, and providing contact information. The
public notice signs would no longer require specifics, such as the date and time of the hearing.
b. Mr. Said pointed out that signs with a general announcement are much more readable to the
public, especially at a distance, and to traffic, which often passes sites at relatively high
speeds. Further, general signs can be produced by Public Works and used over and over
again. The timeframe to make the signs would drop from 15 days to 10 days, which provides
the necessary latitude for the Village to have such signs installed in a timely manner These
changes would also allow staff to streamline procedures related to public notice signs.
Currently, individual signs are required, using several steps involving four departments
(Building, Community Development, Police, and Public Works), The proposed use of general
information means that a limited number of signs would be needed, and they could be used
over again at sites where planning and zoning approvals are requested.
c. Chairman Farkas noted that none of the Plan Commission members had any questions, nor
did any members of the public. The Commission voted 6 -0 to recommend approval of this
request.
V.
There were no questions from the Village
Board. Trustee Toth moved
to accept the report of
the Plan Commission regarding
Case PC-
11 -06, seconded by Trustee
DiMaria, Motion
passed unanimously via voice
vote.

IX STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator
Mr. Wade reiterated the Clerk's announcement about the Dempster Street Redevelopment
Ideas Workshop.
2. Mr. Wade announced a new "nutritious coupon program" being
offered by the
Department of
Family and Senior Services. For
eligibility requirements and more information,
interested
residents should contact Director
Jackie Walker-O'Keefe at 847-
663 -3071.

railroad tracks at Dempster and Lehigh, The repair work is scheduled for the weekend of
July 16, starting at 6am.
t ,,,, . .• .�, , !,. ° .. t ,. r w . , toil I ay'Edti1 1�, O taatttlW
IX STAFF REPORTS (continued)
A. Village Administrator: (continued)
a. Trustee Marcus asked if the Village's Police Department would be coordinating traffic in that
area. Mr, Wade said that Matra had not advised the Village that traffic coordination would be
required. He noted that Matra is quite experienced at setting up detours for railroad crossing
repairs.
b. Trustee Thill asked if Dempster would be closed at Waukegan or if traffic would be allowed to
go through to the crossing. Mr. Wade said that detour signs would be posted on Oakton
around Gross Point Road and at Caldwell. He did not believe that traffic would be diverted at
Waukegan and did not think there would be a need for that.
4. Mr. Wade noted that the storm had resulted in more power outages today. Initially, 2,180
residents were without power, and as of 4pm, 885 were still without power. ComEd assured
him that they were bringing in crews from out of state as well as private contractors in an effort
to get everyone's power restored,
5. Mr. Wade then introduced Finance Director Ryan Horne to do a presentation on the Lehigh
Avenue Commuter Parking Lot.
a. Mr. Horne explained that the Lehigh Avenue Municipal Parking Lot opened on January 1,
2011, with 112 spaces available for lease at a cost of $800 annually. The fee could be paid
quarterly or annually, and the permit sticker was a "cling" type, making it transferable. After
six months, only 20 permits have been issued. The lot is in direct competition with both
Matra's parking and parking at the Moose. The original pricing model was based on a full -cost
recovery from Matra commuters. Village staff is now recommending that the permit price be
made more competitive. Thus it is being reduced to $500 annually. This can be paid annually,
quarterly, or monthly, although if someone is paying quarterly or monthly, the rate will be
slightly higher ($135 quarterly or $50 monthly) to compensate for additional staff time needed
to manage the billings and collections. Those who paid the full $800 will be given the option of
a refund or a credit towards the 2012 permit. Monthly and quarterly customers will have their
remaining payments adjusted.
b. Trustee Thili noted that $500 is half of what it costs to pay at the Skokie Swift. He said he's
glad the Village is reducing the rate; he did think it was on the high side.
c. Trustee Grear asked how the Village could better advertise or promote the lot and the reduced
fee. He pointed out that Metra's monthly ticket rate is higher in Glenview, and hoped that
commuters would take advantage of the lower commuter railfare by parking in the municipal
commuter lot and getting on the train in Morton Grove.
d. Trustee DiMaria said that this parking lot isn't just for commuters; it will also be a parking lot
for patrons of future businesses there, i.e.. Pequods. He said the lower permit fee comes to
about $2.33 per day, versus Metra's charge of $ 1 .75. That 50 -cent difference could mean that
some commuters who park all the way down Lehigh near Oakton might opt for buying a permit
in the municipal lot. Trustee DiMaria also noted that the Village keeps restricting parking in
areas east of the train station. He suggested that the Village just make the entire area from
Ferris to Austin and from Lincoln to Dempster zoned parking, so that commuters will have to
use either Metra's, the Moose's, or the Village's parking lot.

X. STAFF REPORTS (continued)
A, Village Administrator (continued)
e. Mr. Horne said he would like to see 108 -110 spaces sold. He thanked Trustee DiMaria for his
comments.
Trustee Marcus thanked Mr. Wade and Mr. Horne for their work on this. He commented that
the original thought was that the lot should pay for itself, so the permit cost was set up to cap -
c, ture what the construction of the lot cost. It seemed prohibitive, but it made sense for the'Vd_
lage to set the permit price that way so the Village could recoup its costs to build the lot. Trus-
tee Marcus said he hadn't realized the lot would be competing with the Moose, and noted that
it was never meant to be a "subsidized" parking lot. He said that he's glad that we're more
competitive now, noting that the Moose charges $4 a day. He urged residents to call Village
Hall about obtaining a permit.
d. Mayor Staackmann wondered if staff had or would develop a policy regarding special events
held in the Forest Preserve, and whether people could park in the municipal lot for those. He
said that it could either be a potential problem or a revenue - generating opportunity.
B. Corporation Counsel
Corporation Counsel Liston had no report.
X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee DiMana:
Trustee DiMana had no formal report, but offered kudos to Trustee Grear and the Morton
Grove Days committee for a very successful event. He also urged residents to volunteer to
become members of the Village's Emergency Management Agency (EMA). They're always
looking for volunteers.
B. Trustee Gomberg,
Trustee Gomberg had no report.

C. Trustee Grear: (continued)
He explained that, subsequent to the adoption of the 2011 Budget, the Village assumed
responsibility for the planning and management of the 2011 Morton Grove Days festival. This
budget amendment will account for and incorporate the proposed expenses /revenues into the
Village's General Fund. The net effect of this amendment is anticipated to have no impact on
the Village's fund balance, since revenues are projected to meet all expenses for the event.
Trustee Grear moved, seconded by Trustee DiMana, to adopt Ordinance 11 -28. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

had been involved with the successful event, including Mr. Wade, Mr, Horne and his staff, and
members of the Public Works Department, Police and Fire, and EMA, who had helped to
make it all run smoothly. Trustee Grear said that he's looking forward to next years event!
D. Trustee Marcus,
Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 11 -33, Authorizing a Contract with Hayes
Mechanical for the Maintenance of Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment.
He explained that, In 2009, the Village bid and awarded a three -year contract to International
Piping Systems of Schaumburg for the maintenance of all Village -owned heating and air
conditioning equipment. Since then, it is believed that the company has gone out of business.
(The Building Commissioner was told that; but the Village never received any written
confirmation.) The contract states that the Village has the right to terminate the contract for
non - performance, and it has done so. Staff is recommending that the contract be transferred
to Hayes Mechanical. Hayes is willing to honor all the terms and conditions of the original
contract until August 31, 2012. Hayes has also hired the technician from International Piping
who is already familiar with and has worked on the Village's equipment.

markings at more than 40 roadway segments or intersections.

Trustee Trill'
Trustee Trill presented Ordinance 11 -26, Amending the Village of Morton Grove Unified
Development Code, Sections 12 -4 -4E and 12 -17 -1 to Allow Entertainment Uses as Spe-
cial Uses in the M2 General Manufacturing District.
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
This ordinance will modify the Village's unified development code to allow entertainment as a
special use in the M2 zoning district. This will hopefully provide opportunities for reuse of in-
dustrial areas. Special use review is warranted because of the unique operations of enter-
tainment uses, which usually have different hours and parking needs than most typical M2
uses. This text amendment includes a provision prohibiting alcohol at such facilities.

This is the second reading of this ordinance.
a. This ordinance will allow applicant Big City Entertainment, LLC to open and operate an
entertainment use known as Fear City, subject to certain conditions, including improvements
to the parking lot, and days and hours of operation.

X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
E. Trustee Thill (continued)
b. Trustee Grear noted that he had attended all of the procedural control meetings regarding this
Special use request, and felt that Fear City was quite a professional addition to the Village.
He said that he understood the concerns that some residents had shared with him, but noted
that one of the good things about granting a Special Use permit is that if the applicant doesn't
abide by all of the provisions of the permit, it can be rescinded. He said that, as a trustee, he
has a responsibility to the Village overall to try to bring in more businesses, restaurants, and
revenue. Fear City will bring in people from outside the Village who will end up spending
money here, even though they will only be open one month of the year.
c. Trustee Grear said that, while he personally would like to make everyone in town happy, it's
not always possible. The Village staff, the Board, and Fear City have tried to address all
possible concerns. Again, if the conditions of the Special Use permit are not met, the permit
can be pulled. Trustee Greer was optimistic that Fear City will be successful in and for
Morton Grove.
d. Trustee Marcus concurred with Trustee Grear's remarks, and said he, too, was concerned
about the neighborhood. He wanted to ensure that the rules and regulations are being
followed, and said that his impression of the Big City Entertainment organization is that they
want what's in the best interests of the community so that they can and will be successful.

ments to a project (such as a revised landscape plan) to be made without the need of going

Lmisiative Summary
Resolution 11 -35
AUTHORIZING A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH AT &T TO
PROVIDE TELEPHONE SERVICES FOR THE VILLAGE'S TELECOMMUNICATION
INFRASTRUCTURE AT ALL VILLAGE BUILDING LOCATIONS
Introduced: August 8, 2011
Synopsis: To authorize a telephone service agreement with AT &T for telephone services for the Village's
telecommunication infrastructure, which includes digital telephone circuits, and other services.
Purpose: To maintain a favorable rate plan for the Village's telephone services which includes normal
voice calling, data and alarm circuits, and long distance telephone service.
Background: The Village of Morton Grove, in April 2011, engaged Wilson Consulting to audit the current
telephone service structure and to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) for telephone services.
The Village received responses from three companies representing two telephone service
providers. The Village currently has a telephone service infrastructure for voice calling, data and
alarm circuits, and long distance telephone services with AT &T. Establishing a contract
agreement allows the Village to lock in favorable rates for the duration of the agreement versus a
" month -to- month" arrangement. After the initial evaluation, cost savings appeared to be, possible
by dividing the service agreement among two of the vendors. The Information Technology
Division and Wilson Consulting decided to recommend dividing the telephone service agreement
between AT &T and Call One.
Programs, Debts All Departments
or Groups Affected
Fiscal Impact: By dividing the telephone service agreement among vendors, the Village anticipates savings
between $10,000 and $15,000 annually compared to the current telephone service agreement.
Based on historical usage patterns, the estimated cost of the agreement is $12,000 annually.
Source of Funds: Funds from the Information Technology division is available for this project.
Workload Impact: The Information Technology division as part of their normal work activities will oversee and
coordinate the management of this agreement.

Mr. Joe Wade
Village Administrator
Village of Morton Grove
6101 Capulina Ave.
Morton Grove, IL 60053 -2902
Dear Joe:
Pursuant to our recent discussions, SB Friedman & Company !SB Friedman) is pleased to present this
proposal to provide Tax Increment Financing (TIF} services to the Village of Morton Grove ( "the Village ".
It is our understanding that the owner of the Prairie View Plaza, a retail development atthe southeast corner
of Dempster Street and Waukegan Road, plans to redevelop and re- tenant the shopping center. While
Dominick's and Bally Total Fitness currently serve as the center's anchortenants, the shopping center has
deteriorated over the years. Per information from the developer, the property is only 70% occupied and has
issues with asbestos. Additionally, extensive infrastructure improvements are needed, including grading and
new stormwater management. The developer is confident that the redevelopment of the shopping center
will attract new tenants to the center, which may result in additional taxes to the Village.
Both the developer and the Village anticipate that there will be extraordinary costs associated with the
development project and are looking to TIF to cover some of the infrastructure costs. The shopping center is
not currently located within an existing TIF district. SB Friedman proposes to conduct a reconnaissance to
assess the project's potential to be designated as a TIF district, conduct a preliminary review of the
developer's financials to determinethe approximate level of TIF assistance needed, review the availability of
TIF revenues, and assess the Village's return on its potential investment in the project.
4
S. PROJECT START MEETING
We will meet with the Village to review the scope and tasks to be completed by5B Friedman and define the
timeframe in which the analysis should be completed. At this time, we anticipate discussing with you the
outline for the potential study area boundary and collecting select base study area information, including
sales tax receipt records forthe shopping center, building permitdata, codeviolations data, etc. These data
will be used in subsequent steps.
513 FRIEDMAN I DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS 1 www.sbrrieciman.com
Village of Morton Grove TIF Services
Z. MEET WITH DEVELOPER /OBTAIN KEY PROJECT INFORMATION
We will meet with the developer of the shopping center to confirm the timeline and development status of
the project, and to obtain available data, including the development's targeted tenant mix, phasing,
projected development budget, sources and uses, and preliminary TIF request.
3. OUTLINE TIF BOUNDARY ALTERNATIVES AND TIF RECONNAISSANCE
The Village anticipates that the shopping center project will need some level of public assistance and is
considering creating a new TIF district to provide funding to the project. First, we will conduct a field
reconnaissance of the shopping area and surrounding area to determine the likelihood of the parcel(s)
qualifying for TIF designation. Field- observable factors such as deterioration, obsolescence and vacancywill
be noted and analyzed. Factors notvisible during field research will also be analyzed, potentially including:
inadequate utilities (both onsite and off- site), presence of structures below minimum code, lack of
community planning, and others.
Different boundary alternatives will be considered, including evaluating opportunities to abut the Lehigh -
Ferris TIF District. The shopping center and the Lehigh Ferris TIF are separated by the Cook County Forest
Preserve; however, the current TIF Act does allow porting where forest preserves are the only separation
between TIF districts less than one mile apart. We will review opportunities to gain adjacencies in
accordance with the TIF Act and will meet with the Village to discuss alternatives.
4. PREPARE PROJECT AND AREA -WIDE PROJECTIONS
Based on the selected TIF boundary alternatives, we will prepare TIF projections for the project, and where
applicable, project the incremental taxes for other parcels included in the TIF boundary. We will collect tax
and assessment data on comparable retail properties (newer shopping centers with similar tenancies), as
well as other applicable tax data, to estimate the incremental taxes potentially generated from the proposed
project and district. The projections will be used to estimate the district's potential capacity to cover the
developer's TIF request.
In the event thatthe new TIF district becomes adjacent to the Lehigh - Ferris District, available monies from
the Lehigh- Ferris TIF fund balance may be used to provide supplemental funds to the project. We are
assuming that will be the case and therefore will also update projections for the Lehigh- Ferris TIF District.
S. CONDUCT PRELIMINARY GAP ANALYSIS
Once the developer has assembled his proposed development program, we will obtain the project's site plan
and financials, including the development budget, sources and uses for funds, and operating pro forma. We
will review the plan and development pro forma to verify the assumptions as to hard and soft costs,
revenues, and financing parameters. As part of this review, we will
• Review hard and soft costs against benchmarks, including cost estimation manuals and typical
industry factors;
• Evaluate financing in light of market conditions;
• Evaluate development fees and profits in light of industry benchmarks;
• Confirm the amount and nature of the financing gap; and
saFRIEDMANI DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS 2 wwwsbfriedman.com
Village of Morton Grove TIF Services
6 Identify TIF- eligible costs.
6. ESTIMATE THE VILLAGE'S RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The Village is interested in understanding their potential return on investment in allocating TIF funds to the
shopping center redevelopment project. This "return' can best be quantified by estimating the amount of
net new sales tax provided to the Village and calculating the remaining property tax, increment that would
not be absorbed as subsidy to the project. A third return measure could include estimating the number of
net new jobs /wages, but that is beyond the scope of this analysis.
The redeveloped shopping center will feature new tenants that are expected to generate increases in sales
tax revenue to the Village. We will project the portion of sales tax directed to the Village based on the new
tenancy of the shopping center and applicable sales tax rates above that which are currently being
generated from the site. If applicable, using the TIF projections that were prepared in Task 4, we will
estimate the remaining portion of incremental property taxes to be collected by the Village. We will also
make note of the estimated taxes to the Village once the 23 -year term of the TIF district expires.
7. MEETING
We will meet with you to discuss the findings of our reconnaissance work and our review of the developer's
need for assistance. We also anticipate discussingthe appropriate next steps forthe Village to undertake in
financing the project.
(Vent Steps
If it is determined that the project will have enough financial gap and TIF- eligible costs to warrant the
creation of a new TIF district, we would recommend proceeding with the following next steps. We would be
pleased to assist you with these tasks.
m TIF Designation. Begin the process of conducting a formal Eligibility Study and create a
Redevelopment Plan for the study area.
Deal Structuring. Based on the project's financial gap and eligible costs, determine how much the
Village is willing to subsidize the project and consider different alternatives to financing (e.g,
determine whether an upfront grant, loan or pay -as- you -go developer note is appropriate).
® Term Sheet /Redevelopment Agreement. For negotiation purposes, structure a formal term sheet
that outlines business and financing terms. Once the terms of the deal are agreed upon, a
Redevelopment Agreement should be drafted as the legal and binding agreement between the
Village and the developer.

Resolution 11 -39
AUTHORIZATION TO ADD ADDITIONAL WORK TO THE
2011 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Introduced: August 8, 201 1
Synopsis: To authorize the Village President and Viliage staff to execute agreements changing the plans
for 2011 Street improvement Program to include (1) the resurfacing of Churchill Street from
Dead End to Lehigh; (2) the resurfacing of Narragansett Avenue north of Beckwith; (3)
approximately 300 feet of additional curb and gutter replacement on New England Avenue from
Davis to Church: which will increase the original project cost by an amount not to exceed
$60,000_
Purpose: To add unforeseeable rehabilitation work to the scope and value of the 2011 Street Improvement
Program contract with Arrow Road Construction Company.
Background: Resolution 1 1 -29 awarded a contract to Arrow Road Construction Company for the 2011 Street
Improvement Program. The contract includes rehabilitating Churchill Avenue from the Dead
End to west of Natoma Avenue. The condition of the pavement surface east ofNatoma has also
deteriorated and should be replaced, it is desirable to extend the limits of the rehabilitation work
of Churchill Avenue to be from the dead end to Lehiah Avenue. The Public Works Department
also budgeted for and planned to resurface Narragansett Avenue north of Beckwith Road in
2011 using Public Works staff to perform the work. However, the Public Works crews have
been overwhelmed by multiple storm events resulting in weeks of cleanup from extensive
damage to trees making it impractical for Public Works crews to complete the resurfacing work
on this street in 2011. The extent of necessary curb and gutter repairs on New England Avenue
from Davis Street to Church Street resulting from water main rem a; ement on this segment
makes it more practical to replace the fu I I length of curb and gutter on the east side of this street
segment. There are sufficient funds in the Capital Project Fund to complete this work.

Commission Report
Legal notice for this public hearing was published in the Total newspaper (Morton Grave
Champion) on 3 u n e 2, 2011. As this request is for a text amendment, not a request for a specifsc
site, no public notice signs of notification letters were required,
On )une 20, 2011, a public hearing was conducted by the Morton Grove Pian Commission after
notice for this public hearing was duly provided, as noted above, for Pian Commission case pi-
Village 11
65. PC ii Oo consists of a request by applicant of Morton Grove for text amendments to
the Unified Development Code, regarding public notice signs. Public notice signs are required to
be posted at the sites of upcoming public hearings for planning and /or zoning requests.
Director of Community Development and Village Planner )ohn D, Said introduced the case on
behalf of the Village as applicant. He reviewed the details of the request, lncluding the proposed
text amendment language, and the background for this proposal.
Mr. Said explained that the request consists of text amendments to Section 12 -16 -5 of the Unified
Development Code to allow modifications to public notice signs, The Village's proposed
amendments would allow these signs to 'include general information announcing that the location
is the subject of an upcoming public hearing, and providing contact information. The signs would
no longer require specific date, time and request information,
Signs with a general announcement are much more readable to the public, especially at a
distance, and to traffic (which often passes sites at relatively high speeds), Further, such signs
can be produced by the Village's sign shop (Public Works Dept.), and used again and again for
new projects. The revised time frame (10 days from 15 days) inconsistent with other public
notice signs in other communities, and it provides the necessary latitude for the Village to have
such signs installed in a timely manner,
Mr. Said further explained that the changes would also allow Village Staff to str eamiine
procedures related to the public notice signs. Currently, individual signs are required to be
prepared using several steps involving four departments (Building, Community Development,
Police and Public Works), The proposed use of general information signs means that a limited
number of signs are needed, and these can be used again and again at all sites where pianninc
and zoning approvals are requested.
Mc Said concluded by noting that Village Staff has observed public hearing "general information"
signs in use in other communities around the region, and the ten -day notification period is
common practice throughout the region, Authordation and use of such signs is allowed based on
the Village's powers and duties as a home -rule community,
Upon conclusion of Mr, said 's presentation, Commissioners had no specific questions cancernlno_
this requJ.K, other than to expreSs their support for the requested Changes.
Findinos o- Fay
Pursuant to Sec, 12 -16 -4 —E of the UDC, the amendment process "is intended as a tool to adjust
the DroVi5i0nS Of this Code.... whenever new conditions, situations or knowledge of gene, ; al
significance or appidation occurs, It is not intended to relieve particular hardships nor to confer
special privileges or rights." The proposed change does not confer special privileges or rights; in
fact it is intended to provide increased public awareness of zoning requess.
The Commission concurred that the pr Oposed text amendment adheres to these provisions as
specified in the Unified Development Code,

Janice testified concerning this request. The testimony and overview included the following
information:
Members of this facility will go through a rigorous screening. The average number of
members staying at the center is 10 -15, there would be 2 employees, and business
hours would be between 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The programs they would have are education, various activities, fellowship, reading
newspapers, books, magazines, snacks, medical assistance. Medical doctors, physical
therapy, dialysis, medical center, home health agency, medical equipment, Filipino food
catering, and a barbershop are available in that shopping center.

to be able to get in and out without such a Hfr. Assistance will be provided to those that
require it.)

Parking spaces and would only take up three of them. The applicant also conduced a
parking review, at various times during days and evenings for a week, and found
maximum occupancy of 7 spaces in this 16 -space lot. Staff noted that Village
requirements do not specify numbers for adult day care, and that parking for such uses
is subject to Plan Commission review as part or the special use request, Staff also noted
that the overall parking supply for the center was considered legal non - conforming.)
® What if more than 15 people want to join the center? (If more people wish to join,
different schedules would be arranged so that no more than 15 people would use the
center at one time, due to limited capacity of the facility.)

Department of Public Health (IDPH} and Department of Aging, who would then send out
case manager and review applicants for acceptance into the center. This would be a
Medicaid Program, The State would reimburse the center for the membership fees.)
