COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated June 13, 2018.
The petitioner, Bart Banish of Generations at Oakton Arms, has requested an
amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit in order to add assisted living
services to an existing independent living facility at 1665 Oakton Place. In 1982,
per ordinance Z-2-82, Oakton Arms obtained a Conditional Use Permit to operate
as an independent living facility. To better serve the community, Oakton Arms
proposes to transition the building to include assisted living as well. As the zoning
code distinguishes between independent and assisted living, an updated
Conditional Use is required.
At present, Oakton Arms has 98 units located on floors two through five of the
facility. If approved for assisted living, the number of units would be reduced to
93. This would include a combination of 73 assisted/independent living units and
20 dementia care units.
As an independent living facility, Oakton Arms currently coordinates some
services for tenants, but all are provided off-site. According to the petitioner, most
current residents receive some home healthcare services at their own expense. If
transitioned to include assisted living, the following services will be provided on-
site: assistance with personal care; medication reminders; three daily meals and
available snacks; therapeutic diets if physician prescribed; weekly housekeeping

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approve the amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit.
Staff recommended approval Ordinance Z-19-18 amending a Conditional Use
Permit.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Chester to Approve a Conditional Use Permit
for an Assisted Living Facility at 1665 Oakton Place, Case #18 -041 -CU; and
further recommend that Ordinance Z-19-18 be adopted at the appropriate time
this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated June 13, 2018.
The petitioner, J.J. Jenkins of NorthPoint Development, proposes to rezone
1723 Busse Highway from the C-3 General Commercial District to the M-2
General Manufacturing District in order to construct and operate a self -storage
facility. Commercial storage facilities are not a permitted use in the C-3 General
Commercial District; however, they are permitted in the M-2 General
Manufacturing District. In addition to the map amendment, the petitioner is
requesting setback variations.
Currently, the 1.83 acre lot is vacant. The petitioner is proposing to construct a
four-story self -storage facility that will contain 911 storage units. Staff worked
with the petitioner to ensure quality architecture and materials, as the proposed
building is near the City's downtown. However, staff would like to see more
masonry, in the form of a stone kneewall, along the northeast and northwest
elevations. Staff suggests this be a condition of approval.
The proposed new building encroaches into the required front, rear and side yards
for properties located in the M-2 General Manufacturing District. The petitioner
is proposing setback variations for the following: a front yard setback of 9.66',
when a minimum of 65' is required; a side yard setback of 16.31', when 50' is
required; and a rear yard setback of 10', when 50' is required.
Based on general parking standards for self -storage facilities and parking demand
from similar projects by the petitioner, 12 parking spaces are proposed.
Additionally, the site plan provides five land -banked parking spaces, which can
be built out should the demand prove higher than the 12 parking spaces proposed.
As a reminder, the City Council recently approved a text amendment to add a
parking ratio of one parking space per every 75 units for commercial storage
Page 9 of 15 07/16/18
(Cont.) facilities with self -enclosed storage lockers. Using this ratio for the proposed self -
storage facility, exactly 12 parking spaces are required by code.

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (3-3) that the City Council deny

Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-20-18 based on a review of the
information presented by the applicant and the findings made above subject to
the following conditions:
1. Add a stone kneewall on the northeast and northwest elevations.
2. The City Council have the right to request the land banked parking spaces
be constructed in the event that there are known concerns or issues with
parking after the building is constructed.
Moved by Lysakowski, seconded by Chester to Approve Map Amendment and
Major Variations at 1723 Busse Highway, Case #18 -044 -MAP -V; and further
recommend that Ordinance Z-20-18 be adopted at the appropriate time this
evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
Economic Development Coordinator Patrick Ainsworth reviewed a
memorandum dated June 26, 2018.
Panne Klaprasert., on behalf of Thai Square Restaurant, has filed a business
assistance application requesting $15,000 under the Interior Build -Out grant in
order to modify the kitchen space that is currently occupied by American
Wildburger. The owners of American Wildburger will be moving to their new
location at 1534 Oakton Street which will leave their current space at
1550 E. Oakton Street available. The owners of Thai Square Restaurant have
entered into a five-year lease to occupy the restaurant space at 1550 E. Oakton
Street starting August 1, 2018. The new restaurant will offer take-out and will
have limited seating. However, the kitchen at 1550 E. Oakton Street has to go
through modifications in order to have it support Thai Square's operations. The
Estimated cost for Improvements is as follows: Hood System Modifications,
$29,600; Interior Modifications $15,500; Ineligible $5,802.72. Business
Assistance Program Request $15,000.
Staff recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution R-152-18 to approve
the Business Assistance Program application.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Charewicz to Approve Business Assistance
Program Approval for Interior Build -Out in the Amount of $15,000 for Thai
Square Restaurant, 1550 East Oakton Street; and further recommend that
Resolution R-152-18 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon voice

Page 10 of 15 07/16/18
The perspective building owner of 340 E. Howard Avenue, Masterpiece
Acquisitions LLC, has filed an application requesting a City resolution in support
of its Cook County Class 6b Tax Incentive Application based on occupation of
an abandoned property for less than twenty-four (24) months of continuous
vacancy, with a purchase for value, and with substantial rehabilitation.
The vacant 26,000 square foot facility is situated on a 1.55 acre property which
is currently zoned M-2, General Manufacturing. The property has been without
an operating business since January 2017, but it has been used as a 'dead storage'
facility from May 2017 to March 2018. The building has been completely vacant
since March 2018.
The proposed building purchaser also owns Ace Computers which is currently
based in a 15,000 square foot facility in Elk Grove Village. The owners have
grown out of their facility and they are proposing to relocate all of their 24
employees to this facility if they are successful in obtaining a Cook County Class
6b Property Tax Incentive. The applicants plan to spend between $400,000 and
$450,000 on improvements to the property.
The property successfully obtained a Class 6b in 2012; however, the applicant is
requesting a new Class 6b Property Tax Incentive as the building has been vacant
and needs rehabilitation.
Staff recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution R-153-18 to support
and consent to the filing of Masterpiece Acquisitions LLC's Class 6b application
to the Cook County Assessor's Office.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Chester to Approve Resolution in Support of
a Cook County Class 6b Tax Incentive for Masterpiece Acquisitions, LLC,
340 E. Howard Avenue; and further recommend that Resolution R-153-18 be
adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared
carried.
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated June 27, 2018.
The petitioner, George Jarrett of Monro Muffler Brake, Inc., has requested a
Conditional Use Permit to operate an auto service repair facility at
1108 E. Oakton Street. The site and building were previously utilized by Car -X,
the same proposed tenant; however, the building was destroyed by a fire in
December 2017 and has since been vacant. Auto service repair requires a
Conditional Use Permit in the C-3 General Commercial District. As Car -X had
not previously received a Conditional Use Permit, one is now required, even to
re-establish the use exactly as it was.
The rear of the building was demolished as a result of the fire and will be
completely replaced; however, the front of the building will be renovated and
restored. The proposed new rear building will be a single story with a primarily
brick facade and have the same footprint as the previous structure. There will be
eight total service bays and 400 square feet of retail space after construction. Note
Page 11 of 15 07/16/18
(Cont.) that a fire suppression system will be required throughout the entire building as
part of the rebuild.

MESSAGE BOARD
SIGN/395 W
ALGONQUIN RD:
Auto repair facilities are required to be parked with two parking spaces per
service bay, plus one space for every 200 square feet of accessory retail. The
proposed Car -X needs 18 parking spaces based on these requirements.
Previously, the site only had 14 parking spaces; however, the site plan has been
modified to accommodate 19 parking spaces in order to meet the minimum
required.
Car -X will be open from 7:OOam to 7:OOpm, Monday through Saturday. Car -X
sells tires and performs light automotive repair. There will be no body repair as
part of the operations.
The Planning and Zoning Board, recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approve the Conditional Use, subject to the following conditions:
1. Maintain the landscaped area along Oakton Street at the front of the site;
however, note that the bushes need significant trimming so that they do not
encroach upon the sidewalk or create a driveway sight obstruction.
2. Remove the vertical "BRAKES" sign and all associated sign elements on the
pole of the existing pole sign.
3. Install a fire suppression system throughout the entire building (both old and
new portions of the building).

Moved by Brookman, seconded by Rodd to Approve Conditional Use for Auto

Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated June 27, 2018.
The applicant, Dan Malartsik of the Mount Prospect Park District, has requested
Major Variations in order to install a monument sign with an electronic message
board (EMB) at Friendship Park Conservatory. The proposed new sign will
replace an existing monument sign at the site entrance.
The new monument sign is proposed to be 10 feet tall and 8 feet 2 inches wide.
A decorative aluminum curved rooftop is proposed for the top of the sign that is
11 feet wide. The total area of the sign face is 60 square feet. The bottom 50% of
the sign (30 square feet) will be the EMB.

The sign meets the maximum permitted area and height for monument signs on a
lot of this size; however, a variation is required for the setback of the sign from
the front property line. The sign is proposed to be in the same location as the
existing monument sign and will be approximately 8 feet from the front lot line.
Typically, a 5 -foot setback is required for monument signs; however, if the sign
is between 5 feet and 10 feet in height, additional setbacks are required. For a 10 -
foot tall sign, a setback of 20 feet is required. As a result, a setback variation is
required as the sign is proposed to be 8 feet from the front property line, not 20
feet.
A second variation is requested for the sign's distance from a residence. EMBs
may be located no closer than 250' from a residence in the R-1, R-2 and R-3
zoning districts. The EMB is proposed to be located 137' from the nearest
residence, a single-family home on the north side of Algonquin. The proposed
sign will be placed perpendicular to Algonquin Road so that there is no direct
glare into the residences across the street. If approved, the EMB is required to
meet all performance standards identified in Section 12-11-6(B) of the City's
Sign Code. These standards include how often the EMB copy may change and
how bright the EMB may be.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approve the Major Variations.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-22-18.
Moved by Charewicz, seconded by Brookman to Approve Major Variations for
Electronic Message Board Sign at 395 W. Algonquin Road, Case #18-047-V; and
further recommend that Ordinance Z-22-18 be adopted at the appropriate time
this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
PUBLIC WORKS — Alderman Don Smith, Chair
The City currently owns and maintains nine gateway signs at various locations
throughout the City. The signs constructed of wood have deteriorated over the
years and require replacement.
The City Council approved a master contract with the Lakota Group, Inc. for
engineering design services at its January 2, 2018 meeting. In accordance with
the master contract agreement the Lakota Group consultants have completed the
design proposal. Kevin Clark of the Lakota Group, Inc. presented four designs
for consideration.
The consensus was to use Option lb and Option 2 to bring back to the committee
more information, such as where these types of signs are located in other
communities and actual photos.
