IV, SPECIAL REPORTS
Presentation by Commonwealth Edison Representative Jeff Batara
Village Administrator Ryan Horne introduced Jeff Batara of ComEd.
a. Mr. Battara said ComEd was pleased to present several new ways that the company is
improving communication with its customers. He gave some background on himself. He
has been with ComEd for 23 years and recently replaced Eric Duray due to internal
reorganization. He worked the last few years with Chicago City Hall and also was Eric's
back -up from 2008 to 2011.
b. Mr. Battara said he was pleased to inform the assemblage of enhancements to the ComEd
customer experience. One new enhancement is called "Factor" and it can be found on
ComEd's website: www.comed.com. This enhancement allows customers to view outages by
town, county, even general neighborhood. This is similar to a feature that has previously been
provided to municipalities only called "eOutage'.
Minutes of June25 2012 Board Meet 6p
IV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
c. Factor allows customers to view the number of outages related to a specific ticket. Customers
can see online the number of outages, their cause, and an estimated time for restoration.
d. Another new enhancement is a mobile application (app), the result of listening to customer
feedback. ComEd has also increased the number of trunk and phone lines to its Customer
Service Center. The mobil app allows customers to report an outage, check the status of an
outage, make a payment, view account activity, locate payment centers, and enroll in budget
billing. The app is available for smartphones or iPads at the app store and is called
ComEd.com. People need to have an established online account with ComEd, and they
would log in to the app with the same user name and password information.
e. Yet another new feature is two -way text messaging. By texting "IN" to 26633 (which is
ComEd), customers will be asked for their account number of the social security number
of the account holder or the phone number on the ComEd account. That will "enroll" the
customer to receive text updates regarding outages, account activity, etc. Customers can
text "OUT" to 26633 if they decide they no longer want to receive text updates.
f. Customers also have the ability to compare energy usage and savings with friends on
Facebook via httos: / /social.opower com.
g. Lastly, Mr. Battara said there is a new sweepstakes called "Coolest Ever Sweepstakes" where
customers can compete and receive cool prizes. This is also to help educate customers
about energy conservation. There is a link to the sweepstakes on ComEd's Facebook page.
h. Mayor Staackmann asked Mr. Battara if all of this information was available on the ComEd
website (it is) and if he would give the information to Village Administrator Horne.

X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee DiMaria:
1. Trustee DiMaria presented Resolution 12 -54, Authorization to Execute a Letter of
Commitment to the Advocate Lutheran General Emergency Medical Services System.
a. He explained that adoption of this resolution and associated Letter of Commitment will allow
the Morton Grove Fire Department to transition all paramedic certification, continuing
education, supervision, and operations from the current Resource Hospital, St. Francis of
Evanston. The change of hospital affiliation will result in increased efficiencies in the delivery
of pre - hospital care to the Morton Grove community.
b. Trustee DiMaria said that all providers of EMS (paramedic) services in the State of Illinois
must "affiliate" their organizations with a Resource Hospital recognized by the Illinois Depart-
ment of Health. The Resource Hospital acts as a central point of education, supervision, and
coordination for all EMS activities under licenses granted to the provider by the State.
St. Francis of Evanston has been the Resource Hospital for Morton Grove paramedics
since the early 1980's. Recently, the Advocate organization has committed to a corporate
philosophy that places pre - hospital emergency medical services as a priority in its community
mission. Last year, Advocate Lutheran General approached the fire departments in Glenview,
Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge, and the North Maine Fire Protection District about changing
hospital affiliations. The other four fire organizations have indicated their intent to affiliate with
Advocate.

A. Trustee DiMaria: (cont'd.)
Trustee DiMaria added that approximately 80% of emergency medical services patients from

over $2,700 in continuing education costs by making this switch.

K TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
D. Trustee Marcus: (continued)
a. Trustee Marcus explained that this ordinance is required for the Village to be in compliance
with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, which requires that a contractor or subcontractor pay
laborers, workers, and mechanics employed on public works projects no less than the general
prevailing rate of wages as established by the Village. The term "public works" is defined by
the Act to mean all fixed works constructed by any public body or paid for wholly or in part out
of public funds. Each June, the Village is required to investigate and establish the prevailing
rate of wages.
b. Trustee Marcus said that this ordinance adopts the prevailing wage rates established by the
Illinois Department of Labor for Cook Count as the prevailing wage rates for public works
projects in Morton Grove.
Trustee Marcus moved, seconded by Trustee Toth, to approve Resolution 12-47. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Trustee Marcus then introduced for action this evening Resolution 12 -53, Authorizing the
Execution of a Contract With Bill's Painting Company for the Waukegan Road Street
Light Pole Painting Project.
He explained that the ornamental street light poles installed along Waukegan Road from
Dempster Street to Golf Road need to be painted to protect against further corrosion and to
restore their decorative appearance. This project was bid out and the bids were open and
read in May. Bill's Painting Company was the low bidder in the amount of $21,108, and Public
Works staff has concluded that the company is capable of satisfactorily performing this work.
Trustee Marcus moved, seconded by Trustee Thill, to approve Resolution 12 -53. Motion

XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
Eric Poders, 7940 Foster Street. Mr. Poders read a prepared statement noting that rumors
are circulating in town. He encouraged people to realize that there are open meetings for the
public to attend and see and hear about what's happening in the Village. There are also
closed meetings, but minutes are taken and recorded for possible future use, or destroyed if
deemed applicable, in accordance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act. Mr. Poders that the
types of things discussed in closed meetings are generally related to personnel, real estate,
litigation and labor negotiations. Public officials have explained that it is vital —and illegal —to
"leak" or disseminate information from closed meetings for several reasons. Closed meetings
are a tool to discuss the hiring, firing, disciplinary action, or other issues with personnel. They
are also used to discuss the probability of a developer or business coming to town and other
real estate topics. If real estate and development are discussed within a community before the
necessary applications, permits, and licenses are applied for, it enables other municipalities to
persuade or steal that developer or business owner to do business in their town.
Mr. Poders said that the citizens of a community should band together, especially in these
current difficult economic times, to bring about positive change. If they see an issue to which
they want answer, they should become more involved. Once an idea or concept becomes
public, residents are enabled through the use of regular meetings, special meetings, work-
shops, and other communication tools to bring about change through new and fresh ideas,
civility in public discourse, respectful discussion, and open dialogue. Rumors are rumors and
facts are facts.

From: Ronald L. Farkas, Chairman, Plan Commission' ) r
Date: June 21, 2012 .
Re: Plan Commission Case t
School (over arr r' W, Dempster
Commission Report
Public Notice was provided for the public hearing for this request in accordance with applicable
requirements. A public notice was published in the local newspaper (Morton Grove Champion) on
May 31, 2012. A public notice sign was posted on the site on June 4, 2011, and notification
letters were sent to surrounding properties on May 31, 2012.
On June 18, 2012, 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 12-
05. PC 12 -05 consists of a request by applicant Sinai Lee /North Shore Martial Arts for a Special
Use to allow a martial arts school (of over 1000 square feet) in the Cl General Commercial
District.
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 business, site,
and operations. The subject site is a strip center on the south side of Dempster containing
several tenant spaces located between School Street and Austin Ave.
The applicant (North Shore Martial Arts) proposes to renovate the existing tenant space for a
martial arts school, which will have a variety of classes during the day and evenings. The subject
tenant space is approximately 1650 square feet (33' x 50�. The space is within a +/- 11,900
square foot multi- tenant building that contains other commercial uses, such as a rental car office
and a medical office. There are also some vacant tenant spaces within the subject building.
Mr. Said explained that the Unified Development Code allows martial arts schools of under 1000
square feet as permitted uses, while it specifies that those over 1000 square'feet must obtain a
special use.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Ms. Susanne Gilbert and Mr. Greg Gilbert. Both
Susanne and Greg testified concerning this request. The testimony and overview included the
following information:
® School
background: North Shore martial
arts school was previously
located in the Bally's
Fitness
Center at Prairie
View Shopping
Center. However, when
LA Fitness took over
Bally's.
the martial arts
school was not
allowed to continue as a
tenant there. As a
result, the school relocated to the strip center (a few doors down from the proposed
location), in a space smaller than 1000 square feet.
Operations: North Shore Martial Arts will have classes days and evenings including
weekends. Many of the students are school -aged children that are dropped off and
picked up by their parents. Typically, students carpool to classes, which helps reduce
the number of trips and parking needs for this use.
Building and parking: The existing parking lot, and the adjacent public lot, will easily
handle the needs for the martial arts school. Because they are already located in this
building, they are now used to the location and the business operations run smoothly
there.
After conclusion of the presentation by the applicant, the Commission concluded that the
Standards for Special Use were met by the evidence presented for this request. The Commission
specifically complimented the parking study as a well -done document.
There were no interested parties to speak regarding this proposal.
Findings of Fact
The Commission agreed that the proposed use meets the applicable Standards for a Special Use
as specified in Sec. 12 -16 -4C of the Unified Development Code, and based their decision on these
findings.
1. Preservation of Health, Safety, Morals and welfare — The establishment,
maintenance and operation of the Special Use will not be detrimental to or
endanger the public health, safety, morals or general welfare,
The
proposed use
will be
a health- oriented operation, with a focus on physical fitness, as
well
as discipline,
respect
and teamwork.
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 use will be entirely located within the designated tenant space, will require
limited parking because of the limited number of students in each class, and the short
pickup and drop off times. The overall parking supply in this area is excellent as well with
55 spaces on site (47 are required), and a 22 space public parking lot immediately east of
this building. The proposed use is a commercial use and is reasonably compatible with the
other commercial uses in the plaza. Therefore, the proposed special use has no appreciable
impact on surrounding properties.
development Orderly Development — The establishment of the Special Use will not impede
normal and orderly i,
property for uses permitted in the zoning
2
The existing property is located within the C1 General Commercial District, and the project
is using an existing area in front of the existing building without impacting surrounding
properties.
4. Adequate Facilities — Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other
necessary facilities are in existence or are being provided.
This proposed use plans to locate in an existing building and use existing parking, so there
will be no changes to utilities or drainage.
s. Traffic Control — Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide
ingress and egress designed to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets.
The proposed use of the subject site should not draw substantial amounts of
traffic on local residential streets.
The site has adequate parking in front and in back of the building. The existing front
driveways appear to serve the site circulation well with easy access to and from Dempster
Street, while the rear of the building is served from the alley, where there is minimal traffic.
6. Adequate Buffering —Adequate fencing and/or screening shall be provided ilk.
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 use is locating in an existing space, and all surrounding properties are
developed. Therefore no additional screening or buffering is necessary.
P• 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.

The Village is pursuing designation of the Dempster /Waukegan Area for TIF Increment Financing (TIF) in
response to a request from the owners of Prairie View Shopping Center, who desire to redevelop the center as
a new retail /commercial shopping center, thereby revitalizing the entire Dempster /Waukegan commercial
area. This resolution addresses those steps necessary in the TIF designation process.
To set a public hearing on September 10, 2012, to hear public comments pertaining to the designation of the
area as a Redevelopment Project Area and the area for redevelopment, and adopting tax increment al location
financing for the area pursuant to the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act.
The owners of Prairie View Shopping Center, Federal Construction (Montreal, Canada), have approached the
Village of Morton Grove about redeveloping the shopping center. They have identified significant costs
associated with the redevelopment, including asbestos abatement and storm water facilities installation
requirements that would be part of any redevelopment of the shopping center. Federal has noted these costs
make the project financially unfeasible unless local assistance is provided. The Village, in its limited powers
as a municipal authority, can implement a TIF (Tax Increment Finance) program to assist in such a project.
Consistent with applicable state law, the Village has determined the Dempster /Waukegan Area has met the
applicable criteria for designation as a TIF redevelopment area. Criteria such as blight and a decline in
property tax revenues were identified as qualifying factors in a TIE study provided to the Village by
consultants SB Friedman and Company of Chicago, Illinois. This study is available for public review on the
Village website www.mortongroveil.ore as well as in the Village Clerk's office. Federal Construction has
informed the Village that without the TIF, the Prairie View redevelopment cannot and will not be done,
which would lead to further decline for the Dempster /Waukegan area in particular, and for the Village
overall.
Administration, Community and Economic Development, Finance, and Legal Departments
The financial impact of this designation will be dependent on numerous variables which are not solidified at
this time.

The management and preparation of the appropriate documentation will be done by the Village
Administrator, Community and Economic Development Director, Finance Department, and Corporation
Counsel as part of their normal work activities.

NOTICE OF BEARING
NOTICE is hereby given pursuant to Section 11- 74.4 -6 of the Tax Increment Allocation
Redevelopment Act, as amended (the "Act') that on the 10'x' day of September 2012, the President and
Board of Trustees of the Village of Morton Grove (the "Village ") will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m.
at the Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center, 6101 Capulina Avenue, Morton Grove, Illinois 60053,
regarding (i) approval of the "Dempster /Waukegan Tax Increment Financing District Eligibility Study,
Redevelopment Plan and Project" (the "Redevelopment Plan "), as the redevelopment plan and project
under the Act for the area more fully described below (the "Project Area "); (ii) designation of the
Project Area as a Redevelopment Project Area for purposes of the Act; and (iii) adoption of tax
increment allocation financing pursuant to the Act to finance all or a portion of the costs of
improvements proposed to be made in the Project Area.
The Project Area is generally bounded by the following streets: on the west, by Sayre Avenue,
the Village corporate limits and Waukegan Road: on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve; on
the north, by the north line of Prairie View Park and a line just south of Churchill Street for certain
parcels with frontage on Waukegan Road or New England Avenue; and on the south, by the north line
of Meadow Lane.
A boundary legal description of the Project Area is attached to and made a part of this Notice as Exhibit
1. A boundary map of the Project Area is attached to and made a part of this Notice as Exhibit 2.
The overall goals of the Redevelopment Plan are to: (1) reduce or eliminate conditions that have the
potential to lead to blight within the Project Area; (2) provide the direction and mechanisms necessary
to establish the Project Area as a vibrant commercial district that accommodates a mix of uses including
public /institutional and open space through new development; (3) stimulate the redevelopment of
vacant, obsolete, ill configured, and underutilized parcels; and (4) provide and improve necessary public
infrastructure, facilities and utilities. Redevelopment of the Project Area will strengthen the economic
base and enhance the quality of life of the Village as a whole by revitalizing the commercial corridor
along Dempster Street and Waukegan Road.
The Redevelopment Plan seeks to achieve these goals by implementing an integrated and
comprehensive strategy that leverages public resources to stimulate additional private investment,
principally through the use of tax increment financing, as well as other funding sources, to encourage
further private investment. In pursuit of these goals, the Village may enter into redevelopment
agreements for the construction of public and private improvements, and to finance a portion of the
costs of such improvements using funds from the special tax allocation fund described in the Act and to
issue one or more series of obligations secured by such funds. Please see the Redevelopment Plan for a
more complete description of the proposed activities. Copies of the Redevelopment Plan are available at
the Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center, 6101 Capulina Avenue, Morton Grove, Illinois 60053,
during business hours, Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard at the Hearing. The Illinois Department
of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and each taxing district having taxable property included in
the Project Area are invited to submit comments to the Village concerning the subject matter of the
Hearing prior to the hearing date addressed to: John D. Said, AICP, Community and Economic
Development Director, Village of Morton Grove, at the Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center, 6101
Capulina Avenue, Morton Grove, Illinois 60053 or to Mr. Said at commdev(cymortongroveil org. The
Hearing may be adjourned by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village without further notice
other than a motion to be entered upon the minutes of the Hearing fixing the time and place of the
subsequent hearing.

Legislative Summary
Ordinance 12 -24
PROPOSING THE APPROVAL OF A BUSINESS DISTRICT PLAN, THE DESIGNATION OF THE
DEMPSTER/WAUKEGAN BUSINESS DISTRICT, AND THE IMPOSITION OF BUSINESS
DISTRICT TAXES PURSUANT TO THE BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT LAW
Introduced:
July 9, 2012
Synopsis:
This ordinance will affirm the Village's commencement of a process to approve a Business District Plan
for the Dempster /Waukegan Business District and approve the imposition of a Business District Sales Tax
I of one quarter of one percent (.25 %).
Purpose:
( A Business District created contiguous to the boundaries of the Dempster /Waukegan TIF District, would
allow the Village to impose a sales tax within the area of .25 %, Revenue collected from this tax would be
used to correct blighting conditions and stimulate redevelopment of vacant, obsolete, or underutilized
parcels and provide improvements to public infrastructure.
Background:
As part of the process to create a Tax Increment Financing District, in the area that includes the Prairie
View Shopping Center and certain other adjacent properties, Village staff and its consultants have
proposed a Business District created pursuant to the Illinois Business District Development and
Redevelopment Law be considered for the same area. Creation of the Business District would allow the
Village to impose and collect additional sales taxes within the area which can be used to improve the area
and stimulate economic growth. A .25% sales tax is being considered for this District.
In order to create a Business District, the Village must pass this Ordinance in order to set the time and
place for a Public Hearing. The Public Hearing is scheduled to take place on August 13, 2012. at 7:00 pm.
The Village is also required to publish a notice of the Public Hearing at least twice, not more than 30 nor
less than 10 days prior to the hearing. All interested parties will have an opportunity to provide comments
at the Public Hearing.

VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS

AND IMPOSITION OF BUSINESS DISTRICT TAXES
Pursuant to Section 11- 74.3 -2 of the Business District Development and Redevelopment Law,
65 ILCS 5111- 74.3 -1 et seq. (the "Act"), that on the 13th day of August, 2012, the President and Board
of Trustees of the Village of Morton Grove (the "Village ") will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. at
the Richard T. Flickinger Municipal Center, 6101 Capulina Avenue, Morton Grove, Illinois 60053,
regarding (i) approval of the "Dempster Waukegan Business District Redevelopment Plan" (the
"Business District Plan"), as the business district plan under the Business District Act for the area more
fully described below (the "District "); (ii) designation of the District as a business district for purposes
of the Business District Act; and (iii) imposition of a retailers' occupation tax and service occupation
tax in the District, pursuant to subsection (10) of Section 11- 74.3 -3 of the Business District Act,
The District is generally bounded by the following streets: on the west, by Sayre Avenue, the
Village corporate limits and Waukegan Road; on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve; on the
north, by the north line of Prairie View Park and a line just south of Churchill Street for certain parcels
with frontage on Waukegan Road or New England Avenue; and on the south, by the north line of
Meadow Lane.
A boundary legal description of the District is attached to and made a part of this Notice as
Exhibit 1.
The Corporate Authorities propose to impose a retailers' occupation tax and a service
occupation tax in the District, pursuant to subsection (10) of Section 11- 74.3 -3 of the Business District
Act at a rate of one - quarter of one percent (0.25 %).
The Business Plan sets forth goals to: (1) reduce or eliminate conditions that cause the District
to qualify as a blighted area under the Business District Act; (2) provide the direction and mechanisms
necessary to establish the District as a vibrant commercial district that accommodates a mix of uses
including public /institutional and open space through new development; (3) stimulate the
redevelopment of vacant, obsolete, ill configured, and underutilized parcels; and (4) provide and
improve necessary public infrastructure, facilities and utilities. Redevelopment of the District will
strengthen the economic base and enhance the quality of life of the Village as a whole by revitalizing
the commercial corridor along Dempster Street and Waukegan Road.
The Business Plan seeks to achieve these goals by implementing an integrated and
comprehensive strategy that leverages public resources to stimulate additional private investment. The
taxes to be imposed pursuant to subsection (10) of Section 11- 74.3 -3 of the Business District Act, as
well as other funding sources, will be used to further these purposes. Please see the Business District
Plan for a more complete description of the proposed activities. Copies of the Business District Plan

Illinois 60053, during business hours, Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

requirements. A public notice was published in the local newspaper (Morton Grove Champion) on
May 31, 2012. A public notice sign was posted on the site on June 4, 2011, and notification
letters were sent to surrounding properties on May 31, 2012.
On June 18, 2012, 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 12-
05. PC 12 -05 consists of a request by applicant Sinai Lee /North Shore Martial Arts for a Special
Use to allow a martial arts school (of over 1000 square feet) in the Cl General Commercial
District.
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 business, site,
and operations. The subject site is a strip center on the south side of Dempster containing
several tenant spaces located between School Street and Austin Ave.
The applicant (North Shore Martial Arts) proposes to renovate the existing tenant space for a
martial arts school, which will have a variety of classes during the day and evenings. The subject
tenant space is approximately 1650 square feet (33' x 50�. The space is within a +/- 11,g00
square foot multi- tenant building that contains other commercial uses, such as a rental car office
and a medical office. There are also some vacant tenant spaces within the subject building.
Mr. Said explained that the Unified Development Code allows martial arts schools of under 1000
square feet as permitted uses, while it specifies that those over 1000 square feet must obtain a
special use.
The applicant was represented at the hearing by Ms. Susanne Gilbert and Mr. Greg Gilbert, Both
Susanne and Greg testified concerning this request. The testimony and overview included the
following information:
® School background: North Shore martial arts school was previously located in the Bally's
Fitness Center at Prairie View Shopping Center. However, when LA Fitness took over
Bally's, the martial arts school was not allowed to continue as a tenant there. As a
result, the school relocated to the strip center (a few doors down from the proposed
location), in a space smaller than 1000 square feet.
Operations: North Shore Martial Arts will have classes days and evenings including
weekends. Many of the students are school -aged children that are dropped off and
picked up by their parents. Typically, students carpool to classes, which helps reduce
the number of trips and parking needs for this use.
Building and parking: The existing parking lot, and the adjacent public lot, will easily
handle the needs for the martial arts school. Because they are already located in this
building, they are now used to the location and the business operations run smoothly
there.
After conclusion of the presentation by the applicant, the Commission concluded that the
Standards for Special Use were met by the evidence presented for this request. The Commission
specifically complimented the parking study as a well -done document.
There were no interested parties to speak regarding this proposal.
Findings of Fact
The Commission agreed that the proposed use meets the applicable Standards for a Special Use
as specified in Sec. 12 -16 -4C of the Unified Development Code, and based their decision on these
findings.
1. Preservation of Health, Safety, Morals and Welfare — The establishment,
maintenance and operation of the Special Use will not be detrimental to or
endanger the public health, safety, morals or general welfare.
The
proposed use
will be
a health - oriented operation, with a focus on physical fitness, as
well
as discipline,
respect
and teamwork.
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 use will be entirely located within the designated tenant space, will require
limited parking because of the limited number of students in each class, and the short
pickup and drop off times. The overall parking supply in this area is excellent as well with
55 spaces on site (47 are required), and a 22 space public parking lot immediately east of
this building. The proposed use is a commercial use and is reasonably compatible with the
other commercial uses in the plaza. Therefore, the proposed special use has no appreciable
impact on surrounding properties.
3m 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,
2
The existing property is located within the C1 General Commercial District, and the project
is using an existing area in front of the existing building without impacting surrounding
properties.
4. Adequate
Facilities
— Adequate utilities,
access roads, drainage and other
necessary
facilities
are in existence or are
being provided.
This proposed use plans to locate in an existing building and use existing parking, so there
will be no changes to utilities or drainage.
S. Traffic Control — Adequate measures have been or will be taken
ingress • r• Y designed to congestion Y public
The proposed of the subject • • is draw
traffic on local d . streets,
The site has adequate parking in front and in back of the building. The existing front
driveways appear to serve the site circulation well with easy access to and from Dempster
Street, while the rear of the building is served from the alley, where there is minimal traffic,
Adequate Adequate Buffering — be provided to
ensure the right of enjoyment of •..: • •. properties to provide • - public
safety or to screen parking areas and other visualiy incompatible uses,
The proposed use is locating in an existing space, and all surrounding properties are
developed. Therefore no additional screening or buffering is necessary.
7. Conformance to Other Regulations —The Special Use shall, in all other respel
conform to appiicable provisions of this Ordinance or amendments thereto
Variation from provisions of this Ordinance, as provided for in Section I 2-i 6_
3AI, may be considered by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of
