Moved by Rodd, seconded by Chester, to recommend to the City Council approval of
the February 19, 2019 — Warrant Register in the Amount of $20,606,204.80 and

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a

The petitioner, Joseph Taylor, Bayview-Compasspoint Venture Partners, is requesting
a Final Plat of Subdivision, under Section 13-2 of the Subdivision Regulations of the
City of Des Plaines Municipal Code, to consolidate several parcels into one lot of
record. The proposed development will entail the construction of a seven -story,
mixed-use development consisting of the following elements: 212 multi -family units
above the first floor; over 10,000 square feet of ground -floor commercial retail space;
and 409 covered, off-street parking spaces. The development consists of several
properties on Lee Street, Ellinwood Street and Graceland Avenue with a common
project address of 1425 Ellinwood Street.
(Cont.)
Page 6 of 9 2/19/19
The applicants received approval from Des Plaines City Council in June 2018 to
reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces from 424 to 330 and received
approval of the tentative plat of subdivision. The current request is to consolidate all
of the parcels into one lot of record.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (5-1) that the City Council approve the
Final Plat of Subdivision.
Staff recommended approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision, under Section 13-2 of
the Subdivision Regulations of the City of Des Plaines Municipal Code, to consolidate
all subject parcels into one lot of record with seven conditions.
1) The Operational Reciprocal Easement Agreement shall be fully agreed upon
between the City of Des Plaines and the applicant and recorded within 180 days of
recording the Final Plat of Subdivision.
2) Park District Impact Fees in the amount of $286,359 in the form of a certified
cashier's check made out to the City of Des Plaines shall be provided prior to
issuing any building permit for the proposed development.
3) All fees, bonds and letters of credit required to be posted/deposited to the City of
Des Plaines per the Executed Redevelopment Agreement, the Des Plaines
Subdivision Code and any other applicable code shall be provided at their
respective times.
4) Any easement abrogation plat or documentation for the property shall be submitted
to the City of Des Plaines within 60 days of the recording of the Final Plat of
Subdivision for review and approval.
5) Any easements that will be required by any utility company or other government
organization shall be reviewed by the City of Des Plaines prior to official
recording.
6) A temporary parking agreement shall be entered into with a nearby property owner
to accommodate the construction workers for the duration of the project or up until
all construction workers are able to park in the development's parking deck. A
lease shall be produced prior to the building -shell permit being issued.
7) Within 90 days of recording the Final Plat of Subdivision, the applicant shall
submit a complete set of streetscape drawings for Graceland Avenue, Ellinwood
Street and Lee Street for review and approval by the City and any other applicable
government entity.
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon and staff is working
with the area businesses to find temporary parking during construction. Alderman
Sayad expressed his concern about the amount of traffic and parking around this
project.
Mr. Dennis Thompson and Mr. Joseph Taylor of Bayview-Compasspoint explained a
professional consultant was hired to conduct an analysis of the impact of the additional
traffic in the area. This development will primarily cater to those who will use the
train adding only a small amount of additional drivers.
Moved by Charewicz, seconded by Brookman to recommend to the City Council
Approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision at 1425 Ellinwood; and further recommend
that Resolution R-49-19 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon voice

vote, motion declared carried. Alderman Sayad voted no based on the amount of
additional traffic the development will produce.
LEGAL & LICENSING — Alderman Brookman, Chair
City Manager Bartholomew explained the city has identified the need to procure
additional professional advocacy services due to the possibility of gaming expansion.
While the city currently has an agreement with an advocacy service, this individual
will focus exclusively on gaming expansion in Illinois.
Alderman Sayad recommended a shorter term/one-year agreement with Advantage
Government Strategies, LLC.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Smith to recommend to the City Council approval of
the lobbyist agreement with Advantage Government Strategies, LLC; and further
recommend that Resolution R-50-19 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening.
Upon voice vote, motion carried.
ENGINEERING — Alderman Lysakowski, Chair
Vice Chairman Chester explained prioritization of storm water projects is needed and
a cost -benefit -analysis is warranted due to the large expenditure cost of the projects.
Director of Public Works and Engineering Oakley explained the storm water master
plan projects were deferred for future consideration through the Engineering
Committee.
The City's first storm water master plan was prepared in 1986 to address citywide
drainage deficiencies identified in the early 1980's. The design storm was 1.55" of
rain in a 1 hour period. In 2003, this Phase I plan was amended to address additional
local flooding due to the October 13, 2001, 3.8" in 3.5 hours, rainfall.
As a result of flooding from the July 23, 2011, 6.8" in 3 hours, rainfall, Phase II was
prepared to mitigate similar events. There are currently two projects remaining in
Phase II that have not been constructed; they had not been approved for funding in the
2018 Budget and require substantial easements from School District 62 and the
Des Plaines Park District. The completed projects to date total $45 million in City
funding.
In a related subject, the Rear Yard Storm Sewer program was introduced in 1991 to
alleviate flooding in rear yards due to storm water and sump pump discharges from
footing drains. From that time through 2010, projects were constructed at 100% City
cost. Beginning in 2011, the City Council required a 25% resident funding match in
order to construct the rear yard sewers.
Council members reviewed and discussed five problem areas addressed in the Phase
III Storm water Management Master Plan.
Business representatives of Rawls Road addressed the Council to present their view
of the flooding on Rawls Road. Following the discussion, the location of Seymour
Page 8 of 9 2/19/19
(Cont.) Avenue — Dorothy Drive to Florian Drive and Rawls Road were listed as the two top
priorities for repairs.
