SPECIAL REPORTS
a. Plan Commission Chairman Ron Farkas said that he was presenting two reports tonight; both
are similar in that the Village's Unified Development Code must be amended first to allow the
respective types of businesses in the particular zoning districts as a Special Use. Both also
then request a Special Use Permit to operate their respective facilities.
b. In this Case, the Applicant is Safelite AutoGlass. They are requesting an amendment to the
Village's Unified Development Code to include auto glass replacement within the definition
of the Automotive Repair use in the C -1 zoning district, and to add a reference to auto glass
replacement to the definition for "Automotive or Other Motor Vehicle Repair." They are also
requesting a Special Use Permit to open an auto glass repair facility at 8910 Waukegan Road.
Mr. Farkas said that, currently, auto glass repair /replacement and auto body work are only al-
lowed in the M- Manufacturing zoning district. After discussion, the Plan Commission felt that,
by itself, auto glass installation /repair /replacement appears to cause less noise, vibration,

IV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
c. odor, waste product, etc., than auto repair uses already allowed in C -1 zoning districts as
special uses. The Commission felt the standards for amending the Unified Development Code
were met, and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the text amendment.
d. Safelite AutoGlass proposes to construct a facility of approximately 4,500 square feet at
8910 Waukegan Road. The facility will be limited to auto glass replacement, installation, and
repair, and all activity will be done onsite within the facility. Because there are single - family
residential homes located west of the site, with a 16 -foot wide alley separating the proposed
Safelite facility and the homes, Safelite is proposing to install a solid 6 -foot wood fence along
the west edge of the alley, and use the alley area itself for landscaping. The Village will retain
ownership of the alley, as there is an existing sewer line there. Safelite, however, will be
responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping and fencing.
Regarding parking, the Safelite representatives testified that much of the work originating from
this location will be done by mobile units visiting customers throughout the area. Mobile units
will come to the facility, pick up supplies and auto class, and then visit customers during the
course of the day, completing their work while the customer's car is parked at work or in the
owner's driveway. Mobile units will be parked at employees' homes during non -work hours.
The proposed 19 parking spaces, including 15 outside spaces and 4 garage spaces, meets
the Village's requirements.
Mr. Farkas said the applicant was initially requesting a rear yard setback variance, however,
they are now stating that they are modifying the site so that they don't need to request this
variance after all.
Mr. Farkas said the Commission felt that this application met the seven standards for granting
a Special Use Permit, and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Special Use
request.
h. Commissioner Toth sought
clarification
that
the
15
external
spaces will not be used to park
customers' cars overnight.
Mr. Farkas
said
that
is
correct.
Trustee Marcus asked if any of the residents from the neighborhood spoke. Mr. Farkas said
none did, although they were invited to do so.
Trustee Thill said he had spoken to some residents in that area who were concerned about
the 6 -foot fence. One neighbor has a gate going out to the alley. Trustee Thill asked if the
alley would still be usable. Mr. Farkas said there will still be a little area in between, and said
that Village staff and the applicant had said they would work with the residents on that. He
said no one had mentioned a gate, though.
k. Trustee Thill was also concerned about work beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays. Mr. Farkas
said that all work would be done within the building and therefore noise should not be an
issue.
Trustee
Thill moved to accept the Plan Commission's report
regarding
PC 11 -10. Trustee
Marcus
seconded the motion, which passed unanimously
via voice
vote.

a
Text Amendment to the Village's Unified
Development
Code
and
a Special
Use
Permit
for Clubs & Lodges Uses at 6419 Chestnut
a. Mr. Farkas said that the Applicant in this case is the Morton Grove Moose Lodge #376. They
are requesting that the Village's Code be amended to allow clubs and lodges as special uses
in the C/R (Commercial /Residential District). They are also requesting a Special Use Permit
for their current location.
b. Mr. Farkas said that the Moose Lodge is currently a legal non - conforming use, meaning that,
while clubs and lodges are prohibited from being in a 0-1 zoning district, the Moose Lodge, in
its present location, was there legally before the area was rezoned to C /R. So they have the
right to be there; however, they cannot make any substantial changes to the building, or, if the
building sustains damages over 50 %, they would not be allowed to rebuild.
c. The Moose Lodge wishes to establish compliance with the Village's existing requirements,
especially as they may do some minor improvements in the future, such as an exterior
upgrade or a parking area resurfacing. They do not want to have difficulties in the future
due to zoning nonconformity.
d. Community Development Director John Said testified at the Plan Commission hearing that
clubs and lodges do not appear to be in conflict with the intent of the C/R zoning district. The
Moose Lodge complies with applicable development standards, such as setbacks, FAR, and
related requirements.
After the discussion, the Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
request for the text amendment and the Special Use Permit.
e. Trustee Thill said he was surprised that it had taken the Moose Lodge so long to come
forward. He also asked if the Moose Lodge moved out of its current location and another club
came in and took it over, could they? Corporation Counsel Liston said that another club could,
because the Code would be amended, and the Special Use stays with the property. So an-
other club could be there, as long as they qualify, unless the Village amends the Code again.
f. Mr.
Farkas
noted
that the Moose
Lodge was indeed "legal"
for many years, and only recently,
the
zoning
district
changed. So it
really hasn't taken them a
long time to come forward.

STAFF REPORTS
Finance Director Ryan Horne sat in for absent Village Administrator Joe Wade.
Trustee Gomberg noted that the Illinois Senate had recently voted to approve legislation that
would divert the corporate personal property replacement tax revenue away from local gov-
ernments in order to reinstate the salaries and benefits of regional superintendents of educa-
tion. Having passed both chambers, the bill will now go to Governor Quinn for signature or
veto. He asked Mr. Horne how this could potentially affect the Village's budget and finances.
Mr. Horne said that he had just become aware of this: his understanding is that it is a one -time
diversion of 613 million dollars for the regional superintendents of education. He asked the
Board for more time to research this matter and report back to them.
Corporation Counsel:
Corporation Counsel Liston had no report.
A. Trustee DiMaria:
TRUSTEES'REPORTS
Trustee DiMaria had a "public service announcement" from EMA, the Village's Emergency
Management Agency. This week (November 14 -9) is "Winter Weather Preparedness" week.
People probably still remember the blizzard of this past February, which left hundreds
stranded and /or without power. Although the storm was predicted, it still caught many people
unprepared.
Minutes of November 14,2011 Hoard MeeGn
X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
A. Trustee DiMana: (continued)
EMA encourages all residents to "be prepared" by making sure to have on hand plenty of non-
perishable food, drinking water, a battery- operated weather radio, a portable AM /FM radio,
flashlights, any necessary medication, and a first -aid kit. Residents should also have a plan for
warmth and heat if the power is out for an extended period. They should also make up a kit
for each vehicle, which would include many of the above -noted items., but also extra clothing,
blankets, jumper cables, a tow rope, sand or cat litter, and basic tools.
Trustee
DiMaria said that the
National
Weather Service's long -range forecasts
are predicting
weather
much like we had in
February
for this winter, so he urged everyone to
get prepared.
For more information, contact
EMA at
847- 965 -1502.
B. Trustee Gombera:
Trustee Gomberg had no report.
C. Trustee Grear:
Trustee Grear had no formal report, but wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and
encouraged people to donate some time this year at the American Legion to help out with
"Navy Day ".
D. Trustee Marcus:
1. Trustee Marcus presented Ordinance 11 -34, An Ordinance Amending Title 5, Chapter 13,
Article E, Section 1 Entitled "Streets and Alleys Designated as One -Way" of the
Municipal Code of the Village.
a. Trustee Marcus moved to remove Ordinance 11 -34 from the table and bring it up for
reconsideration. The motion was seconded by Trustee DiMaria.
b. Trustee Marcus asked for clarification on where things stood with this ordinance. He knew that
the alley in question had formerly been one -way eastbound and in September, the Board
voted to change it to allow two -way traffic. If the Board votes now, is it voting to make the
alley one -way eastbound again?
c. Corporation Counsel Liston said that the alley has signage indicating traffic flow was one -way
eastbound only. This was requested by CVS during the Special Use process, and is preferred
and necessary for its supply trucks. The trucks would have a tough time backing up to the
loading dock otherwise. However, the Village's Code reflected that that alley was one -way
westbound. Ms. Liston said that, if the Board decided to vote down Ordinance 11 -34, that
they also direct staff to prepare a new ordinance to make the Village's Code consistent with
the historical use of the alley. Also, from a practical standpoint, there should be some
direction to staff to delay the implementation of Ordinance 11 -34.
Minutes of November 14, 2011 Board Meetin `"
X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
D. Trustee DiMaria: (continued)
d. Trustee Marcus asked Ms. Liston if she was suggesting that Ordinance 11 -34 be tabled again.
She responded that there was no need for that, she was only cautioning the Board that if they
voted this ordinance down, something else needs to be done, specifically, an ordinance needs
to be drafted and direction given to delay implementation until after the next Board meeting.
The last paragraph of the ordinance has language that typically states the ordinance will be in
"full force and effect" upon its passage.
e. Public Works Director Andy DeMonte noted that there was an ordinance passed in 1972 that
made that alley a one -way westbound. After CVS was granted its Special Use Permit, the
signage was changed to reflect one -way eastbound. He felt the only options for the Board
were either keep the alley open to two -way traffic or make it one -way eastbound.
Ordinance 11 -34, when voted upon in September, made the alley open to two -way traffic.
Trustee Marcus again sought clarification. Mayor Staackmann said that if the Board votes
"yes," it will keep Ordinance 11 -34 in its current form. If the Board votes "no", staff will prepare
a new ordinance.
Trustee Grear suggested the Board vote on the matter. Mayor Staackmann called for the vote.
Trustee Marcus asked if the motion could be amended as per Ms. Liston's recommendation.
Mayor Staackmann said it could not, since there was a motion on the floor already.
Upon the vote, the motion failed: 1 aye, 5 nays.

Grear asked to

again on the matter,
but Mayor Staackmann advised him that,
with the
vote taken, the
matter
is now closed.
2. Trustee Marcus then presented Ordinance 11 -40, Providing For The Submission to the
Electors of the Village of Morton Grove, Cook County, Illinois, the Question Whether the
Village Should Have the Authority Under Public Act 096 -0176 to Arrange For The Supply
of Electricity For Its Residential and Small Commercial Customers Who Have Not Opted
Out of Such a Program.
Trustee Marcus moved to table Ordinance 11 -40 to the December 12 Board Meeting,
seconded by Trustee Toth. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Trustee Marcus noted, as liaison to the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County
(SWANCC), that because the Village is a member of SWANCC, it receives a percentage of
revenue based on the amount of recycling it does. He was pleased to report that the Village
had received $47,000 as its share of recycling revenue. This money will go into the General
Fund. He encouraged everyone to recycle, not only for its benefits to the environment, but
also for its benefits to the Village.

emerald ash borer. The funds would come out of the $47,000 the Village is receiving as a
result of its recycling program. Trustee Thill seconded the motion.
Trustee DiMana asked Trustee Marcus if he wanted to include any further direction in his
motion, such as where the trees should be planted and what kind of trees should be planted.
Ms. Liston asked if it was Trustee Marcus' intention that the trees should be planted before the
end of this year. He said no, next spring is fine.
Mr. Horne pointed out that, since the Budget hasn't been approved yet, it would be a fairly
simple matter to just increase the line item for tree replacement in the budget.
Trustee Marcus agreed and withdrew his motion. Trustee Thill withdrew his second.

Minutesnf November 14,2011 Board Meeting
XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
1. Michael Rizzo. Mr. Rizzo stated that he had provided the Clerk with copies of a five -page
document to distribute to the Board. He asked the Board to keep their copies for future
reference, and for use to follow along with his comments.
a. He said the first page of the document was a FOIA request done by his mother, requesting
information on what police personnel were on duty on various dates over the past several
years. Page 2 is the Village Attorney's response. He said that the response was, in his
opinion, "no response" because the information requested was not provided. The response
cited security and safety measures as reasons why and noted that the information requested
was considered confidential. Mr. Rizzo said it was ridiculous and insulting. He said the
reason for the request in the first place was because he and his mother thought that a couple
of Morton Grove cops showed up on his private property in Glenview in March of 2010 under
the pretense of being Glenview cops. Mayor Staackmann corrected Mr. Rizzo's use of the
term "cops," asking him to use "police officers" instead. Mr. Rizzo was reluctant to do so at
first, saying that they are "employees" like those who fix streets or pick up leaves.
Mayor Staackmann said, "in this room, we show them respect." Mr. Rizzo said he would refer
to them as police officers out of respect for the Mayor, if he so requested it.
Mayor Staackmann did so.
b. Mr. Rizzo went on to say that the lack of response to a fairly benign FOIA request was
troubling. Another FOIA request was made, regarding information as to the names of any
police officers having contact with him on March 4, 2010. Instead of a response, he received
what appeared to be an abstract of times and dates.
c. Mr. Rizzo said that he has been able to establish that officers entered his private property
(which is posted "private ") in a black, unmarked car. They were not in uniform and they
represented themselves as Glenview investigators. They stopped his mother's car on their
private property. He said the denial of the first FOIA request was done to cover up a lie.
d. Mr. Rizzo then pointed to copies of a Chicago Tribune article about the Park Ridge police
department. He said that he has worked to expose police corruption in Park Ridge since
2003.
e. Mayor Staackmann asked Mr. Rizzo to clarify what he was getting at. Did he feel a crime had
been committed, and if so, what? Was he accusing Morton Grove police officers of being on
his private property? Was he asking the Village to do an internal investigation? Mr. Rizzo said
he was being stymied because of the lack of response to his FOIA requests and asked to be
allowed to finish his presentation.
f. Mr. Rizzo pointed out a 2007 Pioneer Press article which included comments he made about
Park Ridge police officers. Apparently an officer had come to his house several days after
Mr. Rizzo had filed a complaint against this officer. He accused the officer of committing
crimes under the pretense of enforcing laws. Mr. Rizzo felt that local police departments could
function as an "unelected government," usurping the elected officials if they weren't watchful.
He said the lack of response to his FOIA requests did not look good for the Village.
g. Mr. Rizzo said that the Park Ridge officer stopped him was Lt. Robert France, who retired in
2007. He also brought up Park Ridge Deputy Police Chief Tom Swoboda and another officer,
Jeff Caudell. Mayor Staackmann asked again, what does this have to do with Morton Grove?
Minutes of November 14 „2011 Board Meetin
XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)
Mr.
Rizzo
said that a pattern of corruption exists
and
he thought
it might exist here. However,
he
did not
have enough evidence at this time to
bring
forward a
formal complaint.
Mr. Rizzo stated that one of Morton Grove's police commanders had lied to lawyers and
"targeted” him, and wanted to know if this commander, or anyone on the police department
who had "targeted him," "committed crimes against him,° or "trespassed on his private
property" was personally acquainted with Lt. France, Deputy Chief Swoboda, or Officer
Caudell. He noted that his phone number was on the documents he provided and said he
would accept calls from any elected officials or residents, but not from the police department.
He said that corruption exists and he thinks there might be a problem here.
j. Mayor Staackmann said that if Mr. Rizzo is accusing the Morton Grove Police Department of
corruption, he was free to file a formal complaint and the Village would do an investigation.
Otherwise, he told Mr. Rizzo, "you're coming here with a lot of accusations and generalities."
Trustee DiMana added, "We just want to know what your point is."
k. Mr. Rizzo said that the Board kept interrupting him and that he'd like to be allowed to finish.
Mayor Staackmann said that Mr. Rizzo had an attitude toward the Village and its police
department, and said, "If there is a problem, we would like to know. If you have an accusation,
make it." The mayor pointed out that what happens in Glenview is Glenview's business; what
happens in Park Ridge is Park Ridge's business. Mr. Rizzo said that kind of attitude is the
problem. Police Departments feel they can do what they want because no one is watching.
I. Mayor Staackmann told Mr. Rizzo he had 45 seconds to finish. Mr. Rizzo said that was not
enough time, and argued that he had a right to speak. Mayor Staackmann said that the Board
offers the privilege of addressing it, and it says on the sign -in form that people have four
minutes to speak. Mr. Rizzo had already gone well over four minutes. He insisted that he
be allowed to finish speak and said he would not leave the podium until he had done so. At
that point, Trustee DiMaria moved to adjourn the meeting. Mayor Staackmann said that the
meeting could not adjourn, as another person had signed up to address the Board.
m. Mr. Rizzo said told the mayor that "your police department threatened my mother and lied,
saying they were Glenview officers." Mayor Staackmann told Mr. Rizzo that he was very
belligerent and that he was out of order. Mr. Rizzo said, "You can't hide what goes on here,"
and threatened to bring in the U.S. Attorney. He said he was upset that he hadn't been
allowed to speak. Mayor Staackmann noted that Mr. Rizzo had spoken for over 10 minutes.
Trustee
Grear asked if Ms.
Liston
could shed any light on this matter, but Mayor Staackmann
said this
is not the time for
debate
or question- and - answer. This is for "residents' comments.,'
2. Rudy Firenzik, 7628 Lake. Mr. Firenzik asked if the Village could look into safety issues on
Dempster where the shopping center is (Harlem and Dempster). He felt it was dangerous with
people turning into and coming out of the shopping center, and said he's seen many accidents
there.
Mr. Firenzik noted that he had finally received a response from Public Works, but was not
satisfied with it. He said he was asking for technical specifics on the sanitary sewer system in
Morton Grove, information that he felt, as a taxpayer, he was entitled to see. He noted again
that he bought property at the highest elevation in the Village just so he would have no flood-
ing problems.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)
b. In 2008, he began asking the Village to find and resolve his flooding problem. He said that he
is now refusing to pay his sewer charges so the Village is threatening to shut off his water. He
felt the charges should be separate, and pointed out that he is paying his water bill. He won-
dered why he should pay for a "shoddy" product.
C. Mr. Firenzik stated that he has had to throw out a furnace, carpeting, a washer and dryer, all
because of flooding. He was looking for someone knowledgeable about the sanitary sewer
system to sit down and talk with him. He said he would like answers to his questions and said
he would come back and speak at every meeting until he got them.

Village of Morton Grove

Morton Grove, IL 60053 -2902
Dear Mr. Wade:
SB Friedman & Company (SB Friedman) is pleased to continue our work with the Village of Morton Grove
( "the Village ") to prepare a formal Redevelopment Plan to designate a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district
covering an area at the intersection of Dempster Street and Waukegan Road. Under our most recent
contract for TIF services (dated June 21, 2011), we completed an eligibility reconnaissance of the study area.
We concluded thatthe area, including approximately 50 parcels, would qualify as a conservation orblighted
area under the TIF Act. The reconnaissance and related analysis from our previous engagement will be
incorporated into the formal Eligibility Study and Redevelopment Plan for TIF designation.
The scope below outlines the work required to draft a full Eligibility Study and Redevelopment Plan and
facilitate the public approval process. Tasks related to negotiating a redevelopment agreement are included
in a separate contract.
Scope of Services
PART ONE: PREPARE ELIGIBILITY STUDY AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. Confirm Study Area Boundary and Route to Designation
Based on our prior research, we will confirm with Village staff the study area boundary for the TIF
designation. If the Village determines that they would like to adjust the boundary, we will assess the
eligibility of additional parcels if the addition results in a boundary expansion. Additionally, we will confirm
the Village's preferred route to TIF designation (blighted or conservation). We determined that the study
area has enough factors to be designated as a conservation area or a blighted area. We will discuss
sensitivities or concerns (where applicable) associated with each option.
2. Prepare Eligibility Study and Redevelopment Plan and Report
An Eligibility Study and Redevelopment Plan document will be prepared for the proposed TIF district. As
required by the Act, this document will include the following:
® Redevelopment Project Area Description
55 FRIEDMAN I DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS 1 www.sbfriedman.com
Village of Morton Grove TIF District Designation
• Formal Legal Description of the Boundary of the Redevelopment Project Area
• Summary of Eligibility Findings
• Redevelopment Plan Goals and Project Objectives
• Redevelopment Strategies and Activities
• Existing and Proposed Land Use
• Estimated Redevelopment Project Costs (TIF Budget)
• Most Recent EAV and Estimated Future EAV
• Assessment of Impacts on Other Taxing Districts
• Affirmative Action Plan
A series of maps of the proposed TIF district will also be prepared (or updated) and included in the report.
These maps will include: community context, proposed boundary, eligibility factors by parcel, existing land
use, and future land use.
3. Meet to Review the Redevelopment Plan/ File Plan
The Eligibility Study and Redevelopment Plan document will be reviewed with you and other staff assigned
to oversee the Plan. Following staff review, we will brief the Village Board on the Plan and hold a public
meeting (addressed in the following section) to review key elements of the Plan. Applicable changes will be
incorporated into the final Plan and filed with the Village Clerk.
PART TWO: FACILITATE PUBLIC APPROVAL PROCESS
4. Prepare Mailing Lists
Our scope includes the compilation of mailing /address lists, as required for mailing notices, including taxing
agencies, taxpayers within the proposed TIF area, the taxpayers of properties within the proposed TIF area
for the past three years where taxes were not paid in the prior year, and residential addresses within 750
feet of the TIF boundary. An allowance for title searches (to identify property tax delinquencies) is included
in the budget. We assume that the Village attorney or special TIF counsel will draft the necessary ordinances,
resolutions and notices required to designate the TIF district.
The Village may elect to engage a mailing company for preparation and distribution of the mailings or to
prepare the mailings using Village staff resources. If these resources are notavailable, we can recommend a
mailing company and coordinate noticing, as appropriate. We have assumed that the Village's TIF counsel
will draft required notices for these mailings, the Village will publish required notices in local newspapers,
and that the costs associated with these activities will be handled by the Village outside of the terms of this
agreement.
Complete Public Approval Process
We will attend and make presentations, as appropriate, at an informational public meeting and atstatutorily
required meetings that are part of the TIF review process as well as other informational and briefing
meetings that may be requested. The attached budget includes an allowance for the following meetings:
• One (1) additional Village Staff Review Meeting

Timeframe and Fees
We understand that the designation of this TIF district is a time sensitive matter for the Village. We
previously discussed targeting March /April of 2012 to complete all Village approvals. We will work as
diligently as possible to meet this timeframe.
Professional fees for these services will be based on the time required at the current hourly billing rates of
those involved. Based on the scope of services outlined herein, we estimate our professional fees will be
approximately $25,000. This estimate includes statutorily required meetings and certain additional meetings
that, based on our discussions with you, we expect will be required. Including an allowance for general
expenses and other TIF related expenditures, the total budget is estimated at $29,000. A detailed budget
estimate is included on the last page of this letter.

as incurred.
This fee estimate is subject to revision if the engagement entails more timethan estimated due to problems
that are encountered that could not reasonably have been foreseen at the commencement of the
engagement, or if the scope is changed. In this event, we will discuss the matterwith you so that a mutually
acceptable revision maybe made. If the time spent on this engagement is substantially less than we have
estimated, we will bill you a lesser amount.

Resolution 11 -55
AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH S.B. FI2IEDMAN AND COMPANY
TO REVIEW A REQUEST FOR VILLAGE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
SUBMITTED BY THE OWNERS OF THE PRAIRIE VIEW SHOPPING CENTER
Introduced:
November 28, 2011
Synopsis:
This resolution will authorize a contract between the Village of Morton Grove and S.B. Friedman and
Company to review i request for Village financial assistance for the renovation of the Prairie View Shopping
Center.
Purpose:
Special expertise is required to determine the propriety and appropriate level and structure of financial
assistance in order to complete a major renovation of one of the Village's primary shopping centers.
Background:
I The Prairie View Plaza is located at the southeast corner of Dempster Street and Waukegan Road. The
!I center was originally built in the 1960s and occupies 25 acres and contains approximately 350,000 square
feet of retail space on two levels. The current tenants include a Dominick's food store, a Bally's fitness
center, a Harlem Furniture, and a Starbucks. The center currently suffers from obsolescence, an aging facade,
infrastructure, and lacks on -site detention. The owners have submitted a proposal to the Village to construct
a new 290,000 retail shopping center. The owners expect to make a private investment of approximately
$58.5 million. In order for this reconstruction to be feasible, the developer has made a proposal to the Village
for substantial financial assistance, the amount of which is subject to negotiations. Currently, the shopping
center is only 73% occupied. In order to properly consider this proposal, the Village needs to conduct a
thorough review of the developer's pro forma and financial assistance application to determine the
appropriate level and structure of financial assistance for the project.
The Village has worked closely with S.B. Friedman and Company on analyzing similar proposals and
has been satisfied with the quality of their services. S.B. Friedman and Company has submitted a proposal to
the Village to conduct an analysis of the Prairie View Plaza's proposal. This analysis will include:
• Review development information to determine possible need for assistance.
• Evaluate development costs, including construction costs, site preparation costs, design fees,
construction oversight, etc.
• Review rents and lease -up assumptions.
• Financial analysis - review revenues, expenses, resulting net operating income.
• Evaluate returns both with or without municipal assistance.
• Prepare memo of findings.
• Participate in term sheet /redevelopment agreement negotiations.
The services should be concluded within the next two months. Professional fees for these services will
be based on time required to complete this assignment and S.B. Friedman and Company estimates the fee to
review the proposal and draft a term sheet on the Village's behalf that will outline the business terms and
financing structures of a potential redevelopment agreement to be between $23,000 to $25,000. Further
negotiations of the term sheet will be based on S.B. Friedman and Company's standard hourly rates.

Mr. Joe Wade
Village Administrator
Village of Morton Grove
6101 Capulina Ave.
Morton Grove, IL 60053 -2902
Dear Mr. Wade:
SB Friedman & Company (SB Friedman) is pleased to continue our work with the Village of Morton Grove
( "the Village ") to review a request for Village financial assistance submitted by the owners and
representatives of the Prairie View Shopping Center (the "Developer"). Plans are underwayto demolish and
redevelop the shopping center to create a more contemporary shopping environment and attract higher
profile retail tenants.
Under our previous engagement with the Village (dated June 21, 2011), we prepared projections of
incremental property and sales taxes to estimate the project's potential capacity to finance the Developer's
preliminary request. The next step now involves conducting a thorough review of the Developer's pro
formas and financial assistance application to determine the appropriate level and structure of financial
assistance for the project. The following scope of services outlines SB Friedman's role in assisting you with
this comprehensive review.
Scope of Services
The scope of our review includes the following tasks:
1. Review Developer's Recent Submittals. The Developer has provided an updated site plan and a
financing gap analysis that demonstrates his need for financial assistance. SB Friedman will identify
any material changes in the development program and review the assumptions and data presented
in the gap analysis.
2. Evaluate Development Costs. We will review detailed construction cost estimates from the
Developer as information becomes available. Using industry sources such as R. S. Means Building
Construction Costs and in -house data, we will compare the Developer's estimated hard costs to
typical industry costs. If there are unique or unusual features (e.g. extraordinary site prep costs) that
require further analysis, we will identify them and recommend alternative approaches to validate
the costs. Soft costs will be reviewed against industry norms including design fees, construction
oversight, taxes and insurance during construction, marketing and leasing costs, legal and
accounting fees, and construction period interest. We will also review the Developer's appraisal of
existing land value.
SE FRIEDMAN ( DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS 1 www.sbfriedman.com
Village of Morton Grove Prairie View Project Review
3. Review Rents and Lease -up /Absorption Assumptions. We will perform limited independent
research using CoStor to confirm the rent and lease -up /absorption assumptions used in the pro
forma. We will assume pass through of retail operating costs and will validate our assumptions using
industry sources such as Dollars & Cents of Shopping Centers.
4. Financial Analysis. Our analysis will review the revenues, expenses, and resulting net operating
income generated by the project, including the capitalized value of the retail space against
development costs. We will confirm appropriate capitalization rates for the hypothetical sale of the
retail portion of the project using industry sources such as ACLI, RERC and
Korpacz /PriceWaterhouseCoopers reports and benchmarks.
5. Evaluate Returns. We will create a model that calculates returns both with and without municipal
assistance. Options for assessing profitability include reviewing returns on total cost and return on
equity. Return benchmarks will be derived from the sources noted above, adjusted for applicable
development and marketing risks.
6. Prepare Memo of Findings. We will prepare a memorandum of findings detailing our evaluation of
assumptions and conclusions. We will meet with Village staff to review the memorandum and
present our findings in a meeting with the Village Board. If additional meetings are required or
requested that exceed the time allotted in the budget, they will be billed at the applicable rates for
the personnel involved.
7. Draft a Term Sheet. We will draft a term sheet on the Village's behalf that will outline the business
terms and financing structure of the type and level of public assistance to the Developer. We will
work with the Village to insert provisions that best protect the Village's policy concerns and financial
interests.
8. Participate in Term Sheet /Redevelopment Agreement Negotiations. We will participate in direct
negotiations with the Developer regarding the provisions outlined in the term sheet. It is anticipated
that the Village's legal counsel will merge the mutually agreed upon term sheet into a formal
Redevelopment Agreement. We will also review the Redevelopment Agreement with regard to
business terms and assist the Village in its negotiations with the Developer.
Considering the unique dynamics of every negotiation, it is difficult to estimate the time that will be
expended for th is task. We expect that it will likely entail review meetings with you and Village staff,
meetings with the Developer, supplemental research and analysis /refinement, and other tasks to be
determined. Since the scope forthis task is undefined, we will bill you for actual time and expenses
incurred at the current hourly billing rates of the staff involved (see page 3).
Timeframe and Fees
The Developer and the Village have jointly agreed that a term sheet should be firm by the end of January
2012. While our analysis is largely contingent on the timely receipt of requested information from the
Developer, we will work as diligently as possible to meet this timeframe.
Professional fees for these services will be based on the time required at the current hourly billing rates of
SB FRIEDMAN I DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS 2 www.sbfriedman.com
Village of Morton Grove Prairie View Project Review
those involved. Based on our experience with similar projects, our fee estimate is as follows:
Tasks 1 to 7 Deal Review, Financial Structuring and Term Sheet Draft $23,000 to 25,000
Task 8 Term Sheet/Redevelopment Agreement Time at Standard Rates
Negotiation Support
A detailed budget estimate is included on the last page of this letter. These estimates will serve as
benchmarks to measure our progress. We will inform you if we are diverging from these estimates so that
we can discuss how to modify the scope or the budget to our mutual satisfaction.

reproduction, faxes, messenger and express services, postage, data purchased specifically for this project,

estimate and will be billed in addition to professional fees incurred. These are typically less than 5% of total
professional fees.
Invoices will be rendered either monthly or at key milestones as our work progresses for services and costs
incurred. Invoices are payable within 30 days.
If at any point the decision is made to discontinue our services, our fee will be based upon the actual time

We are pleased to be considered for the role of special counsel to the Village of Morton
Grove in connection with the proposed Prairie View TIF. This letter outlines the intended scope of
our engagement and indicates a range of expected fees.
Scope of Services
As special counsel, we understand that our role is to work collaboratively with you, as
corporation counsel for the Village, and with S.B. Friedman & Co., the Village's TIF consultant, We
will render advice on the procedural requirements for the creation of the TIF and under your
direction assume a direct role in negotiating and preparing a Redevelopment Agreement with the
owner of the shopping center (Developer).
S.B. Friedman has expertise in identifying the presence of eligibility factors, preparing a
Redevelopment Plan and recommending economic terms for the Redevelopment Agreement,
including resolving questions about thejustifiable level of TIF subsidy. We expect to participate in
those discussions with the redevelopment team, review the Plan against the requirements of the TIF
Act and seek clarity concerning the range of programs and expenditures —so that future activities can
take place within the intent and purposes of the Plan.
The Prairie View Redevelopment Plan will identify programs that the Developer will
undertake — and therefore preparation of the Plan will entail discussions and negotiations with the
Developer for determining the content and budget of such programs. We understand that a sales tax
sharing agreement has been mentioned as an element of the Redevelopment Agreement. In this case,
negotiation and preparation of the Plan goes hand in hand with the term sheet for the Redevelopment
Agreement.
Assuming the
eligibility findings
support the
formation of the TIF, we then advise on a
timeline of procedural
steps as required by
the TIF Act.
The broad action categories are as follows:
Comply with Interested Parties Registry (adoption of rules, notice)
Make proposed Redevelopment Plan available to public
Preparation of Ordinance to set date for hearing on the Plan
Preparation of Ordinances designating Area, adopting Plan, and adopting tax increment financing
Convene and meet with Joint Review Board (JRB) and issue report
Notices and hold public hearing by the Village Board
Professional fees for our services will be based on time required at the billing rates of lawyers
in our firm. I will be the lawyer principally involved in this matter. The hourly rate that I apply when
working for municipalities on development work is $295. Other lawyers in our firm may assistme, at
hourly rates ranging from $250 to $295.
Our charges for out -of- pocket costs, overnight courier charges or other client disbursements
are based on our costs. Our invoices are mailed monthly covering services for the prior month, with
payment due in 30 days.
With respect to retention of files, we generally attempt to retain contract documents, letters
and file materials in electronic format, and only maintain hard copy client Piles for originals or
important documents specifically entrusted to us. We may archive, delete or dispose of all files
pertaining to this matter at any time after two (2) years have elapsed after we have last performed
services on such matter. The Village may request, at any time before disposal of files, copies of any
materials contained in such files. Please recognize that our lawyers may, in exercising their
judgment while working on a platter, discard certain documents, such as interim drafts, the retention
of which they do not believe to be significant to the protection of your interest.
For the range of fees described below, we have not included text amendments or zoning
changes or eminent domain proceedings. We assumed 5 meetings with the redevelopment team to
review the proposed Plan,, two meetings with the JRB and no need to revise the Plan on the basis of
JRB recommendations. We assumed no need to amend the Plan of the adjacent TIF (Lehigh
Terrace). We have assumed one meeting for the Village Board to hold a hearing and a second
meeting at which the TIF ordinances are adopted. We have not assumed preparation of any
disclosure materials or opinions relating to outside financing.
Estimate of Fees
On the mostly procedural elements of the TIP process, we would budget 20 -40 hoes, not
including time and meetings to review the Plan and tern sheet with the Developer.
We cannot fully anticipate [lie complexity of the economic arrangements in the
Redevelopment Agreement. Often, the interests of outside parties providing financing or major
tenants come into play. My experience tells me there will be six to ten drafts, internal review, major
deal points and possibly some unique provisions. I can estimate 60 -120 hours.
With this budget, I would round off our estimate of fees at between $25,000 and $50,000.
Our estimate will need to be adjusted if we commit to additional meeting time and services beyond
what we have assumed. In all cases, our intent will be to charge fairly for our services.
Disclosures
As you know, I am currently village attorney in Golf. Last year, the Village of Golf entered
into an agreement with the Village of Morton Grove for the purchase of municipal water. The
villages sometimes discuss other topics which may result in other intergovernmental agreements in
the future.
The professional rules of conduct describe a "direct adversity" conflict, when a lawyer is
representing two clients in the same matter, which will not be the case here. Another conflict is said
to arise when the representation of one client creates a material limitation on the ability of lawyer to
represent independently the interests of the other client. A lawyer must identify whether a material
limitation conflict will likely arise.
Given the nature of the representation for each village, I believe that I can fully discharge my
duty of loyalty to both clients and there is very little likelihood that my work for one client will act as
a material limitation on exercising my professional independence for the other client. I am aided in
coming to this judgment by the fact that both villages are experienced consumers of legal services
and understand that my duty is to exercise the same professional courtesy and competence in all
matters I undertake.
Acceptance of Engagement
We are very appreciative of the opportunity to be considered for this engagement. If we are
selected, we would appreciate receiving a letter confirming the details of our engagement asset forth
herein.
Sincerely,
COHEN, SALK & HUVARD, P.C.

AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 5, CHAPTER 13, ARTICLE E, SECTION I ENTITLED
"STREETS AND ALLEYS DESIGNATED AS ONE -WAY "
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
Introduced:
November 28, 201 1
Synopsis: (
Following review of Ordinance 1 1 -34, the Board determined the one -way alley behind the CVS
Pharmacy would remain, and the alley would be one way eastbound.
Purpose:
To amend title 5, Chapter 13, Article E, Section 1 Entitled "Streets and Alleys Designated as
One- Way"
Background
In 1972, the alley south of Dempster between Austin and Marmora was designated one -way west
bound raider Ordinance 72 -17. With the construction of CVS Pharmacy in 2001 and under special
use permit, Ordinance 01 -60 was passed that called for the alley to be designated one -way east
bound. Signage was installed to reflect the alley's east bound status, however Ordinance 72 -17
was never removed form the Municipal Code. On September 26, 201 1, the Village Board of
Trustee's passed Ordinance 11 -34. That Ordinance called for the removal of the one -way
restriction allowing two -way traffic flows. At the October 10, 2011 Board Meeting, Trustee's
requested an additional review of Ordinance 1 1 -34. That review was conducted during the
November 14, 2011, Board meeting, and at that time staff was directed to prepare an Ordinance
designating the alley to be one-way east bound from Austin to Marmora, so that any conflicting
ordinances would be removed from the Municipal Code.

Of the current proposal is for all C -1 areas of the Village-
Based on staff review of zoning requirements from other communities reviewed. it was
determined allowing an auto glass repair /replacement facility as a special use in C -1 would be
reasonable, and would provide opportunities for adaptive reuse of commercial areas. Special
use review is warranted because of the unique operations of auto related uses which usually
have different operations than most typical C -1 uses. This topic was discussed by the Plan
Commission at the public hearing. Staff recommends this change.
The Plan Commission recommends approval of these amendments.

Re: Plan Commission Case PC11 -10; Safelite Auto Glass (8910 Waukegan
Road); Request for Text Amendments to the Unified Development Code
and a Special Use regarding an auto glass facility in the C1 District
Commission Report
Public Notice was provided for the public hearing for this request in accordance with applicable
requirements. A public notice was published on October 2, 2011, letters were sent to
surrounding property owners on September 29, 2011, and a public notice sign was placed on the
subject property on September 30, 2011,
On October 17, 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 -10. PC 11 -10 consists of a request by applicant Safelite AutoGlass for the following:
• Amendments to Section
12 -4 -3
of the Unified Development Code
(UDC), to include
auto glass replacement
within
the definition of Automotive Repair
use;
• Amendment to
Section 12 -17
-1,
definition for "Automotive or Other Motor Vehicle
Repair" to add
a reference
for
auto glass replacement;
• A resulting Special Use to permit the proposed Safelite AutoGlass as a Special Use
for automotive repair at 8910 Waukegan; and
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 status of the Safelite AutoGlass application, the site plan and related details.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Mr. Greg Alexander of Safelite and Mr. John
Szabo of Kudrna Associates architects. Both individuals testified concerning their request, and
Village staff through Mr. Said provided an overview of the zoning matters associated with this
application. The testimony and overview included the following information:
They testified that Safelite proposes to construct a Safelite AutoGlass facility of approximately
4500 square feet, and in order to do so, amend to Village's requirements and obtain a special use
to have this use conform to Village requirements. Safelite consists solely of auto glass
replacement, installation and repair, and all such activity onsite is done entirely within the
proposed enclosed building.
Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center
6101 Capuiina Avenue • Morton Grove, Illinois 60053 -2985 v�
Tel: (847) 965 -4100 Fay: (847) 965 -4162 +��'
Mr. Said affirmed that the UDC (Unified Development Code) currently prohibits auto glass
installation in the C -1 District, as it is classified with auto body repair. Auto body repair is allowed
in the Village's M Districts; as a special use in M -1 and as a permitted use in M -2.
Mr. Said further noted that Safelite's proposed operations, which as described above are limited
to auto glass; they will not be engaged in body repair /collision services. Further, Safelite does
not do auto repair such as mechanical work, tire replacement, brakes, oil, and related services,
although such auto repairs are allowed in the C -1 District as special uses. Mr. Said noted that
there are a number of mechanical shops in the immediate vicinity of the subject location,
although he was not aware of any other business in the Village solely involved in auto glass
replacement.
Mr. Said asserted that there are single- family residential homes located west of the subject site,
in an R -2 Single Family Residence District. There is an intervening 16' wide alley between the
subject site and the single - family homes which provides further separation between the proposed
commercial use and the residential area.
Mr. Said noted that Safelite has agreed to cooperate with the Village to use the alley as part of
their development plans for an increased buffer between the proposed commercial use and the
adjacent residential area. In response, the applicant proposes a solid 6' wood fence along the
west edge of the alley, and proposes to use the alley area for landscaping. In this way, Safelite's
property and the alley will be developed as a unified site.
According to Mr. Said, a license agreement will be developed between the Village and Safelite, so
that the Village will retain ownership of the alley area, as there is an existing sewer line within the
alley property. As such, the Village can access the sewer at any time for maintenance or repair
needs. Safelite will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping and fencing in
this area, the same as those improvements on their site. A condition of approval is included
regarding the licensing agreement.
In response to questions about parking, the applicants testified that much of the work originating
from this location will be done by mobile units visiting customers throughout the region. Mobile
units will visit this location, pick up supplies and auto glass, and then visit customers throughout
the day. Often, such mobile units will visit a customer's home or place of work and complete
glass replacement /repairs while a car is parked on a driveway or in a parking lot. Mobile units will
be parked at employees' homes during non -work hours, not at this location. The proposed
nineteen (19) parking spaces, including 15 outside spaces and four garage spaces, meets
applicable requirements.
Regarding the text amendment, Mr. Said further explained that the unique aspect of the
proposed use, as a limited use, made comparisons to zoning requirements of other communities
more difficult. Similar to Morton Grove, most zoning regulations from other communities do not
delineate between auto glass and other body shop activities. Some communities allow auto body
repair in their more intensive commercial areas (typically as special uses), while others limited
such uses to industrial areas. More intensive activities, such as body work and auto painting, are
certainly a consideration in those instances of increased restrictions. By itself, auto glass
installation /repair /replacement would appear to cause less noise, vibration, odor, waste product,
etc. than auto repair uses already allowed in C -1 as special uses.
2
Initially, the applicant was requesting a rear yard (along north property line) setback variation of
1.0 feet; however, based on questioning from the Commission, the applicants testified that they
would be able to slightly modify the site to eliminate the requested variation. Revised plans will
comply with the required 5' setback.
Commissioners also asked about the text amendments, and instructed that a few references be
omitted. This way, glass repair will continue to be allowed in industrial districts (auto body uses).
Commissioners further asked the applicant to relocate a light pole to improve lighting on the
subject site.
Finally, regarding the review process, Mr. Said explained that the applicant has received positive
recommendations from the Appearance Commission and Traffic Safety Commission for this
project. They went through some revisions based on Staff review and Appearance Commission
review, and have addressed all requested recommendations.
After testimony and Commissioner questions and discussion were concluded, any members of the
public in attendance were invited to express their views on the project. No one in the audience
wished to speak about this request.
Findings of Fact — Text Amendment
The applicants also testified to the applicable standards for amendments in Sec. 12- 16 -4 -E of the
Unified Development Code; this testimony was further supported by Staff. The proposed text
amendment will benefit the Village as a whole and does not confer special rights upon the
applicant, as their proposed development is consistent with the intent of the commercial area.
The applicant does not have a particular hardship that this amendment will address, as the
proposal is intended to provide flexibility for the entire C1 District.
Findings of Fact — Special Use
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.
Oleson, Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Duffy, 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 is designed to support the public health, safety and other concerns of the
Village. No detrimental impact is expected.
2. /adjacent Properties —'She 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 is utilizing a commercially -zoned lot for a commercial business. The
applicant plans to install landscaping and fencing to minimize this site's impact on residential
properties.
3. Orderly Development —The establishment of the Special Use will not impede
normal and orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding
property for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The property is located within the C1 Commercial District, and surrounding properties are
fully developed, except for the site to the south, which can develop without negative impact
from the proposed business.
4. Adequate
Facilities
— Adequate utilities,
access roads, drainage and other
necessary
facilities
are in existence or are
being provided.
Adequate facilities, including utilities, access
roads and
related services are already
provided
to this area. Utilities and other services are
adequately
sized to accommodate this
business.
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.
The proposed site includes a single entrance /exit off Greenwood Ave., and will not directly
access Waukegan Road. This will ensure better circulation and reduced conflicts along
Waukegan Road.
6, Adequate Buffering — Adequate fencing and /or screening shall be provided to
ensure the right of enjoyment of surrounding properties to provide for the public
safety or to screen parking areas and other visually incompatible uses.
The proposed site plan includes appropriate landscape buffering around the site, including
use of the 16' alley along the west edge for buffering to the adjacent residential area. A 6'
solid wood fence will be provided in this area as well to provide a visual barrier between the
commercial and residential properties.
7. Conformance to other Regulations — The Special Use shall, in all other respects,
conform to applicable provisions of this Ordinance or amendments thereto.
Variation from provisions of this Ordinance, as provided for in Section 12-16 -
3A1, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of
Trustees as a part of the special use permit.

Re: Plan Commission Case PC11 -10; Safelite Auto Glass (8910 Waukegan
Road); Request for Text Amendments to the Unified Development Code
and a Special Use regarding an auto glass facility in the C1 District
Commission Report
Public Notice was provided for the public hearing for this request in accordance with applicable
requirements. A public notice was published on October 2, 2011, letters were sent to
surrounding property owners on September 29, 2011, and a public notice sign was placed on the
subject property on September 30, 2011.
On October 17, 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 -10. PC 11 -10 consists of a request by applicant Safelite AutoGlass for the following:
• Amendments to Section
12 -4 -3 of
the Unified Development Code
(UDC), to include
auto glass replacement
within the
definition of Automotive Repair
use;
m Amendment to
Section 12 -17
-1,
definition for "Automotive Dr Other Motor Vehicle
Repair" to add
a reference
for
auto glass replacement;
A resulting Special Use to permit the proposed Safelite AutoGlass as a Special Use
for automotive repair at 8910 Waukegan; and
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 status of the Safelite AutoGlass application, the site plan and related details.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Mr. Greg Alexander of Safelite and Mr. John
Szabo of Kudrna Associates architects. Both individuals testified concerning their request, and
Village staff through Mr. Said provided an overview of the zoning matters associated with this
application. The testimony and overview included the following information:
They testified that Safelite proposes to construct a Safelite AutoGlass facility of approximately
4500 square feet, and in order to do so, amend to Village's requirements and obtain a special use
to have this use conform to Village requirements. Safelite consists solely of auto glass
replacement, installation and repair, and all such activity onsite is done entirely within the
proposed enclosed building.

Tel: (847) 96:5 -4100 Fax: (847) 965 -4162 ��.r
Mr. Said affirmed
that the UDC
(Unified Development Code) currently
prohibits auto glass
installation in the
C -1 District, as
it is classified with auto body repair.
Auto body repair is allowed
in the Village's M
Districts; as a
special use in M -1 and as a permitted
use in M -2.
Mr. Said further noted that Safelite's proposed operations, which as described above are limited
to auto glass; they will not be engaged in body repair /collision services. Further, Safelite does
not do auto repair such as mechanical work, tire replacement, brakes, oil, and related services,
although such auto repairs are allowed in the C -1 District as special uses. Mr. Said noted that
there are a number of mechanical shops in the immediate vicinity of the subject location,
although was not aware of any other business in the Village solely involved in auto glass
replacement.
Mr. Said asserted that there are single - family residential homes located west of the subject site,
in an R -2 Single Family Residence District. There is an intervening 16' wide alley between the
subject site and the single - family homes which provides further separation between the proposed
commercial use and the residential area.
Mr. Said noted that Safelite has agreed to cooperate with the Village to use the alley as part of
their development plans for an increased buffer between the proposed commercial use and the
adjacent residential area. In response, the applicant proposes a solid 6' wood fence along the
west edge of the alley, and proposes to use the alley area for landscaping. In this way, Safelite's
property and the alley will be developed as a unified site.
According to Mr. Said, a license agreement will be developed between the Village and Safelite, so
that the Village will retain ownership of the alley area, as there is an existing sewer line within the
alley property. As such, the Village can access the sewer at any time for maintenance or repair
needs. Safelite will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping and fencing in
this area, the same as those improvements on their site. A condition of approval is included
regarding the licensing agreement.
In response to questions about 'parking, the applicants testified that much of the work originating
from this location will be done by mobile units visiting customers throughout the region. Mobile
units will visit this location, pick up supplies and auto glass, and then visit customers throughout
the day. Often, such mobile units will visit a customer's home or place of work and complete
glass replacement/ repairs while a car is parked on a driveway or in a parking lot. Mobile units will
be parked at employees' homes during non -work hours, not at this location. The proposed
nineteen (19) parking spaces, including 15 outside spaces and four garage spaces, meets
applicable requirements.
Regarding the text amendment, Mr. Said further explained that the unique aspect of the
proposed use, as a limited use, made comparisons to zoning requirements of other communities
more difficult. Similar to Morton Grove, most zoning regulations from other communities do not
delineate between auto glass and other body shop activities. Some communities allow auto body
repair in their more intensive commercial areas (typically as special uses), while others limited
such uses to industrial areas. More intensive activities, such as body work and auto painting, are
certainly a consideration in those instances of increased restrictions. By itself, auto glass
installation /repair /replacement would appear to cause less noise, vibration, odor, waste product,
etc. than auto repair uses already allowed in C -1 as special uses.
Initially, the applicant was requesting a rear yard (along north property line) setback variation of
1.0 feet; however, based on questioning from the Commission, the applicants testified that they
would be able to slightly modify the site to eliminate the requested variation. Revised plans will
comply with the required 5'setback.
Commissioners also asked about the text amendments, and instructed that a few references be
omitted. This way, glass repair will continue to be allowed in industrial districts (auto body uses).
Commissioners further asked the applicant to relocate a light pole to improve lighting on the
subject site.
Finally, regarding the review process, Mr. Said explained that the applicant has received positive
recommendations from the Appearance Commission and Traffic Safety Commission for this
project. They went through some revisions based on Staff review and Appearance Commission
review, and have addressed all requested recommendations.
After testimony and Commissioner questions and discussion were concluded, any members of the
public in attendance were invited to express their views on the project. No one in the audience
wished to speak about this request.
Findings of Fact — Text Amendment
The applicants also testified to the applicable standards for amendments in Sec. 12- 16 -4 -E of the
Unified Development Code; this testimony was further supported by Staff. The proposed text
amendment will benefit the Village as a whole and does not confer special rights upon the
applicant, as their proposed development is consistent with the intent of the commercial area.
The applicant does not have a particular hardship that this amendment will address, as the
proposal is intended to provide flexibility for the entire Cl District.
Findings of Fact — Special Use
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.
Oleson, Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Duffy, and based their decision on, these findings.
Is 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 is designed to support the public health, safety and other concerns of the
Village. No detrimental impact is expected.
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 is utilizing a commercially -zoned lot for a commercial business. The
applicant plans to install landscaping and fencing to minimize this site's impact on residential
properties.
3. Orderly Development —The establishment of the Special Use will not impede
normal and orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding
property for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The property is located within the CI Commercial District, and surrounding properties are
fully developed, except for the site to the south, which can develop without negative impact
from the proposed business.
4. Adequate Facilities — Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
Adequate
facilities, including utilities, access
roads and
related services are already
provided
to this area. Utilities and other services are
adequately
sized to accommodate this
business.
Traffic Control — Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide
ingress and egress designed to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets.
The proposed use of the subject site should not draw substantial amounts of
traffic on local residential streets.
The proposed site includes a single entrance /exit off Greenwood Ave., and will not directly
access Waukegan Road. This will ensure better circulation and reduced conflicts along
Waukegan Road.
6. Adequate Buffering — Adequate fencing and /or screening shall be provided to
ensure the right of enjoyment of surrounding properties to provide for the public
safety or to screen parking areas and other visually incompatible uses.
The proposed site plan includes appropriate landscape buffering around the site, including
use of the 16' alley along the west edge for buffering to the adjacent residential area. A 6'
solid wood fence will be provided in this area as well to provide a visual barrier between the

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.

This ordinance will approve a text amendment to amend the Unified Development Code to
allow clubs and lodges in the CR Commercial /Residential District as special uses.
To allow clubs and lodges in the CR Commercial /Residential District as special uses.
The Unified Development Code (UDC) is a comprehensive set of regulations for the zoning of
land and development of parcels within the Village. Currently, the UDC does not allow clubs
and lodges in the CR Commercial /Residential District. The current applicant has submitted a
request requesting an amendment to allow a special use. While the applicant desires to
maintain an existing club as a special use at 6419 Chestnut, which is zoned CR; the Village's
review of the current proposal is for all CR areas of the Village.
Based on staff review of zoning requirements from other communities, allowing clubs and
lodges as a special use in the CR District would be appropriate, and would provide additional
flexibility for land uses in the CR District. Special use review is warranted because of the
unique operation of clubs and lodges which may have different homy and parking needs than
most typical CR uses. Staff has also added further controls to help limit such facilities to
locations and conditions appropriate to the CR District. This topic was not discussed at a
public hearing and the definition has not been changed. Staff and the Plan Commission
recommends approval of these amendments.

Re: Plan Commission Case PC11 -11; Moose Lodge (6419 Chestnut); Request
for a Text Amendment to the Unified Development Code and a Special Use
regarding club and lodge uses in the CR District
Commission Report
Public Notice was provided for the public hearing for this request in accordance with applicable
requirements. A public notice was published on October 2, 2011, letters were sent to
surrounding property owners on September 29, 2011, and a public notice sign was placed on the
subject property on September 30, 2011.
On October 17, 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 -11. PC 11 -11 consists of a request by applicant Morton Grove Moose Lodge #376 for the
following:
• Amendment to Section 12 -4 -3 of the Unified Development Code (UDC), to allow
clubs and lodges as special uses in the C/R (Commercial /Residential) District; and
• A resulting Special Use to permit the Moose Lodge at its current location (6419
Chestnut).
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 status of the existing Moose Lodge and land use, and the site layout.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Mr. Eric Hoffman and Mr. Gerry Swearingen of
the Moose Lodge. Both individuals testified concerning their request, and Village staff through
Mr. Said provided an overview of the zoning matters associated with this application. The
testimony and overview included the following information:
The subject site is 6419 Chestnut, located west of Lehigh Ave. near the Morton Grove Metra
station. The applicant desires to have the existing Moose Lodge conform to Village land use
requirements, which currently prohibit Clubs and Lodges in the CR District, although they are
allowed as Special Uses in the Ci and C2 Districts. As such, the Moose Lodge has been
considered a legal nonconforming use.
Staff identified one other club /lodge facility in the Village; the American Legion, which is at 6140
Dempster in the Cl District. Mr. Said mentioned that other clubs and social organizations
Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center

Tel: (847) 965 -4100 Fax: (847) 965 -41162
certainly exist in the Village, but typically conduct meetings at facilities such as schools, houses of
worship, civic facilities, or business locations.
The applicants testified that they plan no major changes to the Moose Lodge in the foreseeable
future. Rather, they wish to establish compliance with the Village's existing requirements. They
may do some relatively minor improvements in the future, such as an exterior update /upgrade
and possibly a parking area resurfacing. Whatever changes are to come, they wish to avoid
difficulties later due to a zoning nonconformity.
Mr. Said asserted that Clubs and Lodges do not appear to conflict with the intent of the C/R
District. He further explained that the existing Moose Lodge has been present at its current
location for nearly 50 years, and can arguably be considered as more consistent with the
emerging business /commercial uses in its immediate area than the previous quasi - industrial land
uses around the subject site. He also emphasized that with the Special Use provision, the Village
will retain a higher level of review for each potential request for this use in the CR District.
Mr. Said further asserted that the Moose Lodge complies with applicable Development Standards
(such as setbacks, FAR, and related requirements) of the C/R District. While the existing building
does not conform to several of the recommended General Provisions in C/R (such as the
recommended design guidelines and pedestrian orientation), these provisions are intended for
new projects developed after this zoning district was created; however, the Moose Lodge has
been present on this site since the early 1960's.
Finally, Mr. Said explained that the long -term existing nature of this facility translated to no
substantive Staff comments. As well, Traffic Safety Commission and Appearance Commission
review were not required, as no traffic or appearance changes are proposed,
Upon questioning from the Plan Commission, applicant Mr. Hoffman testified that the Moose
Lodge meets the applicable Standards for Special Use; he reviewed and responded to each of the
Standards to the satisfaction of the Commission. The Commission had other general questions
concerning the site and the Moose Lodge, which the applicant answered.
After Commissioner questions were concluded, any members of the public in attendance were
invited to express their views on the project. No one in the audience wished to speak about this
request.
Findings of Fact — Text Amendment
The applicants also testified to the applicable standards for amendments in Sec. 12- 16 -4 -E of the
Unified Development Code; this testimony was further supported by Staff. The proposed text
amendment will benefit the Village as a whole and does not confer special rights upon the
applicant, as their existing operations will not change based on this request. Further, the
applicant does not have a particular hardship that this amendment will address; their business
has operated for approximately 50 years, and is considered a legal non - conforming use.
Findings of Fact — Special Use
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.
Oleson, Mr. Grendys, and Mr. Duffy, and based their decision on, these findings.
IQ
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 is managed to maintain the public health, safety and welfare. It has
existed for a long time, and has not posed any difficulties for public health, safety, morals or
welfare.
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 is bounded on two sides by the
Forest Preserve,
on a third by a
municipal parking
lot, and on the fourth by a proposed
restaurant. The
use and operations
of the subject site
are self- contained and do not spill over onto adjacent
properties.
3. Orderly Development — The establishment of the Special Use will not impede
normal and orderly development or impede the utilization of surrounding
property for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The property is located within the CR Commercial /Residential District, and the use already
occupies an existing building. The Moose plans to maintain the existing site without using
adjacent sites.
4. Adequate Facilities — Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
Adequate facilities, including utilities, access roads and related services are already provided
to this area. No changes are proposed to the Moose Lodge, so no changes need to be
considered to services.
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 existing building and parking areas are already provided with appropriate entrance and
exit points. The location of the Moose Lodge on a dead -end street further helps to control
traffic in this area, which is a mix of commercial, Metra train station, residential and other
uses.
Fs. Adequate Buffering — Adequate fencing and /or screening shall be provided to
ensure the right of enjoyment of surrounding properties to provide for the public
safety or to screen parking areas and other visually incompatible uses.
The existing building requires no additional buffering beyond what is already provided. No
changes are proposed to the Moose Lodge. Further, wooded forest preserve land is located
adjacent to the forest preserve on two sides, and to compatible uses on its other sides.
7. Conformance to Other Regulations — The Special Use shall, in all other respects,
conform to applicable provisions of this Ordinance or amendments thereto.
Variation from provisions of this Ordinance, as provided for in Section 12-16 -
3A1, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of
Trustees as a part of the special use permit.
The proposed 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.

COUNTY, ILLINOIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2012 AND ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2012

within the Village of Morton Grove.
Background: Pursuant to Ordinance 11 -47, the Village Board of Trustees passed the 2012 Budget for the Village of

of $56,706,376. The amount necessary to be levied for 2011 property taxes is the amount of
$11,573,832. By law the Village is required to levy an additional $6,300,396 for debt service
payments authorized by general obligation notes and bonds for a total levy before abatement in the
amount of $17,874,228. However, the Village Board intends to adopt Resolutions which will
immediately abate $5,231,265 from the levy resulting in the net levy as intended by the Corporate
Authorities in the amount of $12,642,963. After extensions for loss and cost, the effective result is a
0.0% increase in the Village's portion of the tax levy and a reduction of ($136,186) or (4.27 %) in the
Library's portion of the tax levy, resulting in an overall decrease of (- 1.03 %) from the requested final
