Subject: Pre-Approve Funding for Ford Trucks through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing
Master Contract
Issue: The approved 2022 City budget includes $300,000 in funding for the replacement of three
Ford F-350 pick-up trucks (#5044, #5066, #5077), a F-450 dump truck (#8026), and one F-450
service body truck (#5076).
Analysis: Ford Motor Company has announced that there will be no production on Super Duty
Trucks until next year, when they will produce 2023 models. Ford expects to have new specifications
available in October of 2022 that will feature restyled bodies and conform to revised EPA greenhouse
gas emissions standards for 2023 and later model year vehicles.
Ford Motor Company recently released the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing master contract
specifications for Explorer utility vehicles which had an ordering window of four days. Pricing per
the Illinois Joint Purchasing master contract compared to National Auto Fleet Group pricing through
Sourcewell was approximately $4,000 less per vehicle. Expectations are for Ford pick-up truck
specifications to be rolled out the second week of October 2022 with a similar time frame for ordering.
Due to this expedited time frame for ordering these fleet vehicles PW staff is requesting pre-
authorization to utilize budgeted funding.
During budget preparations for fiscal year 2023 these Ford trucks have been listed as carryover items
as they were unavailable to be purchased in 2022. Pricing was adjusted to reflect increased costs due
to material mark-ups and supply chain issues. Updated pricing is listed in the chart on the following

Date: September 14, 2022
To: Michael G. Bartholomew, City Manager
From: Daniel Anderson, Fire Chief DA
Subject: Approval of On-Going Elevator Alarm Monitoring by Emergency 24.
Issue: The City entered into an agreement several years ago with Emergency 24 Inc. (“E-24”) for the purposes
of monitoring elevator alarms and answering calls initiated from within the elevator on a fee per call basis.
The Fire Department 2022 Budget included $19,200 and which was encumbered through Purchase Order No.
2022-107 earlier this year. The purchase order has been exhausted after having paid invoices for the first
seven months of 2022. Approval of the 2022 continued expenditures for E-24 alarm monitoring is requested.
Analysis: The number of elevator calls monitored and answered by E-24 has been trending consistently
higher than normal this year. Each month’s invoices vary significantly which prompted me to conduct a
review of the entire Elevator Alarm Monitoring Program. Last year, as part of a project to identify phone
lines, circuits and their associated costs, all elevator call boxes and alarms were tested several times over the
last several months which resulted in higher call volume to E-24 and resulted in an expected increase. There
continues to be a significant increase in the number of false activations of the emergency call button which
has resulted in false alarms and has increased the number of calls/alarms to be answered by E-24.
Upon request, E-24 provided itemized data which included address specific locations and types of alarms.
Evaluation of the data by Fire Prevention Division Chief Schuman identified several issues along with
properties that were responsible for the majority of the alarms. Division Chief Schuman was tasked with
reviewing the background and intent of the existing monitoring system and responses. Administrative staff
met with E-24 to review the background, agreement in place, and the actual need to continue the arrangement.
Division Chief Schuman has reviewed the ordinances, codes, and requirements for elevator alarms. We have
determined there is nothing in the code or ordinances that require the City to provide monitoring services for
elevator alarms. Any building that has an elevator in it is required to have their elevator alarm answered by a
24-hour service at their expense. The elevator alarm issue is completely different than the City’s fire alarm
monitoring requirements.
Staff is working to address all these issues and transition away from the current system, however this may
take many months to accomplish.
Upon reviewing the latest statement and preparing the accounts payable batch, it was determined our annual
costs were going to exceed the budgeted amount as well as exhaust the approved purchase order for $19,200.
MEMORANDUM
Page 1 of 4
CONSENT AGENDA #3.
I anticipate the final expenditures for E-24 is estimated to be approximately $37,000 based on a review of the
monthly expenses so far this year which requires City Council approval. Given the remaining monthly
invoices yet to be received for 2022 services, and requirements for elevator alarms/calls to still be monitored,
staff requests authority not to exceed $37,000. This expense is contained in the FY2022 Fire Department
Budget – Fire Department/Emergency Services/Dispatch Services.
Recommendation: I recommend that Resolution R - 159 - 22 be approved, authorizing continued service
provided under contract with E-24 not to exceed $37,000.

Subject: MWRD and IDNR Hazard Mitigation Grant Agreements – Property Buyout Program
Issue: The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) has approved the City’s
application to purchase up to 37 structures in the floodplain where the property owners have volunteered to
participate in the Hazard Mitigation buyout program. We will be working with MWRD and the property
owners on the grant to eliminate structures from the floodplain.
Analysis: MWRD is administrating this grant and requires the City to enter into a Hazard Mitigation Grant
Agreement in order to disperse the funds to the City. The MWRD grant amount is not to exceed $10,000,000
(two installments of $5,000,000) and the local match is $1,500,000. The Illinois Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR) will provide the local match and also requires the City to enter into a Hazard Mitigation
Grant Agreement in order to disperse up to $1,500,000. City costs will be for legal services, closing costs,
and staff costs in a not to exceed amount of $500,000.
The City will take the lead in the acquisition of the properties and the City will be reimbursed for all eligible
expenses incurred in order to purchase and demolish up to 37 homes (listed below) pursuant to both grant
agreements (MWRD and IDNR).

of the District’s Board of Commissioners.

public ownership and maintenance as open space of all acquired Parcels. The Parties

satisfaction of the District, the District may issue a sixty (60) day written notice, as further
provided in Article 22 of this Agreement, to the City directing the City to perform such
maintenance. If the maintenance requested by the District has not been accomplished on or

Exhibit C
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“District”), as
authorized by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act (70 ILCS 2605/1 et seq.),
administers a Flood-Prone Property Acquisition Program (“Program”);
WHEREAS, the Program provides a process for units of local government to apply to the District
for funds to assist in acquiring interests in property, including the purchase of structures in the
floodplain, to demolish and/or remove the structures, and to maintain the use of such property as
open space in perpetuity for the conservation of natural floodplain functions;
WHEREAS, the Illinois General Assembly has appropriated funds to the Illinois Department of
Natural Resources (“IDNR”) to provide assistance to the City of Des Plaines (“City”) under Public
Act 98-0675, Article 8, Section 10 and Public Act 98-0675, Article 8, Section 125; and
WHEREAS, the City has applied for and will receive assistance from IDNR pursuant to an
Intergovernmental Agreement with IDNR to the extent allowed by its statutory authority under the
“Flood Control Act of 1945,” (“Flood Control Act”) 615 ILCS 15/1 et. Seq.
WHEREAS, the City, acting through the City’s Mayor and City Council, has also applied for, and
been awarded, District funds, pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the District for
the Acquisition, Conversion To and Maintenance of Open Space of Certain Flood Prone Parcels
Located Along the Des Plaines River in the City of Des Plaines (“Intergovernmental Agreement”)
to carry out the Project described therein;
WHEREAS, the Flood Control Act and terms of the Program require that the City agree to
conditions that restrict the use of the land to public open space in perpetuity;

Intergovernmental Agreement by and between the City and the IDNR and the
Intergovernmental Agreement by and between the City and the District, the
following conditions and restrictions shall apply in perpetuity to the parcel

open space:
Page 24 of 39Exhibit A
{00127991.1}

perpetuity as open space for the preservation and conservation of natural
floodplain functions. Such uses may include, but are not necessarily
limited to: parks for outdoor recreational activities; wetlands
management; nature reserves; cultivation; grazing; camping (except
where adequate warning time is not available to allow evacuation);
unimproved, unpaved parking lots; buffer zones; and other uses
consistent with the Project.
b.Structures. No new structures or improvements shall be erected on the
Parcel other than:
i.A public facility that is open on all sides and functionally related

iii. A structure that is compatible with open space and conserves the
natural function of the floodplain, including the uses described
in Paragraph 1(a), above.
Any improvements on the Parcel shall be in accordance with proper
floodplain management policies and practices. Structures built on the
Parcel according to paragraph (b) of this section shall be floodproofed or
elevated to at least the base flood level plus one foot of freeboard, or
greater, if required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(“FEMA”), the District, or if required by any State, Tribal, County or
local ordinance, and in accordance with criteria established by the FEMA
Administrator.
c.Disaster Assistance and Flood Insurance. No Federal entity or source
may provide disaster assistance for any purpose with respect to the
Parcel, nor may any application for such assistance be made to any
Federal entity or source.
d.Transfer/Sale. Any subsequent transfer or sale of the Parcel, by the City
or any subsequent owner, representative or assign (“Successor in
Interest”), must comply with this deed restriction. For any proposed
transfer or sale, IDNR and the District must give prior written approval,
in accordance with the following requirements:
i. The City, or any Successor in Interest, may convey a property interest
to the United States or any agency of the federal government, an agency
of the State, or to a unit of local government. Conveyance of any
property interest must reference and incorporate this original deed
restriction, and it must incorporate a provision for the property interest
to revert to the City in the event that the transferee ceases to exist or
loses its eligible status.
ii. The request by the City, or any Successor in Interest, to transfer or
Page 25 of 39Exhibit A
{00127991.1}
sell the Parcel must include a signed statement from the proposed
transferee in which it acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms
of this deed restriction.
2. Inspection. The District and IDNR, their representatives and assigns shall have
the right to enter upon the Parcel, at reasonable times and with reasonable
notice, for the purpose of inspecting the Parcel to ensure compliance with the
terms of this deed restriction, the Parcel conveyance and the terms of the
Intergovernmental Agreements.
3.Monitoring and Reporting. Every three years on July 1, beginning in 2023, the
City, or the current Successor in Interest, shall submit to the District and IDNR
a report certifying that the City or Successor in Interest has inspected the Parcel
within the month preceding the report, and that the Parcel continues to be
maintained consistent with this Deed Restriction and the Intergovernmental
Agreements.
4. Enforcement. The current owner of record of the Parcel, whether it is the City,
or its Successor in Interest, is responsible for taking measures to bring the Parcel
back into compliance if the Parcel is not maintained in accordance with the
terms of this deed restriction. The relative rights and responsibilities of the City
or subsequent holders of the property interest at the time of enforcement shall
include the following:
a.The District or IDNR shall notify the current owner of record in writing
of any violations and advise them that they have 60 days to correct the
violation(s).
i.If the owner of record fails to demonstrate a good faith effort
to come into compliance with the terms of the Agreement
within the 60-day period, the District or IDNR, its
representatives, and assignees may enforce the terms of the
deed restriction by taking any measures it deems appropriate,
including but not limited to one or more of the following:

to the City. The owner of record shall bear the costs of
bringing the Parcel back into compliance with the
terms of the Agreement; or
b)Bringing an action at law or in equity in a court of
competent jurisdiction against the current owner of
record. The owner of record shall pay all reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
b. Following these efforts to attain compliance, if the Parcel continues not
to be used for flood control or other approved public or water resource
purposes, ownership of the Parcel shall transfer to the State of Illinois.
Page 26 of 39Exhibit A
{00127991.1}
IDNR may bring an action at law or in equity in a court of competent
jurisdiction against the current owner of record to accomplish this
transfer.
5. Perpetual/Permanent Easement in favor of the District. The City, or
any Successor in Interest, acknowledges that in the future, the
District may require use of the purchased Parcel for the purpose of
constructing a flood control project, including, but not limited to,
reservoirs, floodwalls, levees, bio-retention systems, porous
pavement, bioswales, constructed wetlands, underground storage,
and conveyance improvements. To that end, this deed restriction,
which is applicable to the City and any Successor in Interest, shall
constitute a perpetual and permanent easement in favor of the
District for any and each of the above-referenced items contained
herein.

The DEPARTMENT will have no obligation to implement or complete the PROJECT without the necessary appropriation, re-appropriation, and availability of state funds. The CITY will be notified in writing of the failure of appropriation or of a reduction or decrease. 5. Attached hereto, marked “ATTACHMENT A,” consisting of one page and made a part hereof by reference, is a listing of 37 properties making up the PROJECT.

B. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. The DEPARTMENT will reimburse the CITY for approved PROJECT costs and expenses of clearing property. Items eligible for reimbursement by the DEPARTMENT as costs and expenses for clearing property are specified in Section D in this AGREEMENT. 2. The DEPARTMENT will reimburse authorized costs and expenses for clearing property based on billing(s) furnished by the CITY to the DEPARTMENT with supporting documentation as evidence that the work covered under such billing(s) is completed and in connection with the PROJECT. No billing(s) from the CITY covering any work will be paid by the DEPARTMENT until the state funds appropriated are released and obligated, and the DEPARTMENT has given written permission to the CITY to proceed with the work. No billing(s) will be honored covering any work accomplished prior to the obligation of funds and written permission by the DEPARTMENT to proceed. 3. Plans, specifications, bids and any contract awarded for the PROJECT that is to be reimbursed in whole or in part with DEPARTMENT funds must be pre-approved by the DEPARTMENT. 4. The DEPARTMENT approves the Deed Restriction which is attached as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference and which grants to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“MWRD”) a perpetual and permanent easement and to the DEPARTMENT certain future rights to properties acquired in the PROJECT. Furthermore, the DEPARTMENT agrees that all deeds for PROJECT property acquisitions will have the Deed Restriction attached as an incorporated exhibit. 5. The DEPARTMENT will furnish technical assistance, guidance, and personnel to aid and assist the CITY, as determined by the DEPARTMENT, throughout the implementation of the PROJECT. Administration costs and work accomplished by DEPARTMENT personnel (including travel expenses) will not be charged to the PROJECT.

Page 30 of 39Exhibit B

3. The CITY will be responsible for the payment of all costs over and above the DEPARTMENT’s $1,500,000 maximum funding obligation for property clearance.

Failure to maintain the books, records, and supporting documents required by this Paragraph 6 will establish a presumption in favor of the DEPARTMENT for the recovery of any funds paid by the DEPARTMENT under this AGREEMENT for which adequate books, records, and supporting documentation are not available to support their purported disbursement. 7. The CITY will vigorously enforce the CITY zoning and subdivision ordinances. The CITY will further maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program and will continue to adopt and enforce appropriate ordinances to satisfy the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the DEPARTMENT’s requirements relative to the regulation of development in floodways and floodplains under the jurisdiction and control of the CITY. 8. The CITY will maintain all acquired flood prone property in an open, safe, neat and manageable condition. Plans for redeveloping the property for open space, flood control or other approved public or water resources purposes will be subject to review and pre-approval by the DEPARTMENT. MWRD projects, pursuant to its statutory authority, do not require review and pre-approval by the DEPARTMENT. 9. The CITY will hold and save the DEPARTMENT and any of its duly appointed agents and employees harmless against any loss, damage, cause of action, fine or judgment, including all costs connected therewith such as attorney and witness fees, filing fees and any other expenses incident thereto, that may be incurred by reason of personal injury, death, property damage or any and all other claims or suits of whatsoever nature that might arise or result from or as a consequence of the implementation, construction, operation and maintenance of the PROJECT. The CITY will further hold the DEPARTMENT harmless in regard to the handling and disposal of any special or hazardous wastes which might be discovered on property rights acquired by the CITY in connection with this PROJECT. The CITY will not be obligated or responsible to hold the DEPARTMENT harmless against any
Page 31 of 39Exhibit B

loss, damages, costs or expenses arising out of the negligent acts, omissions or intentional misconduct by the DEPARTMENT or its agents or employees. 10.

Furthermore, the CITY agrees that all deeds for PROJECT property acquisitions will have the Deed Restriction attached as an incorporated exhibit.

Page 37 of 39Exhibit B
{00127991.1}
sell the Parcel must include a signed statement from the proposed

of this deed restriction.
2. Inspection. The District and IDNR, their representatives and assigns shall have
the right to enter upon the Parcel, at reasonable times and with reasonable
notice, for the purpose of inspecting the Parcel to ensure compliance with the
terms of this deed restriction, the Parcel conveyance and the terms of the

City, or the current Successor in Interest, shall submit to the District and IDNR
a report certifying that the City or Successor in Interest has inspected the Parcel
within the month preceding the report, and that the Parcel continues to be
maintained consistent with this Deed Restriction and the Intergovernmental
Agreements.
4. Enforcement. The current owner of record of the Parcel, whether it is the City,
or its Successor in Interest, is responsible for taking measures to bring the Parcel
back into compliance if the Parcel is not maintained in accordance with the
terms of this deed restriction. The relative rights and responsibilities of the City
or subsequent holders of the property interest at the time of enforcement shall
include the following:

to come into compliance with the terms of the Agreement
within the 60-day period, the District or IDNR, its
representatives, and assignees may enforce the terms of the
deed restriction by taking any measures it deems appropriate,

IDNR may bring an action at law or in equity in a court of competent
jurisdiction against the current owner of record to accomplish this

Z-28-22
Vice-Chair Brookman presented Ordinance Z-28-22, An Ordinance Approving Major
Variations to Allow an Extension of an Existing Commercial Mobile Radio Service
Facility at 2064-2074 Mannheim Road, Des Plaines, Illinois (Case #22-026-V).
The petitioner is requesting a Major Variation from Section 12-8-5.B.1 to allow a
commercial mobile radio service facility to be located in a required rear yard in the
M-2 General Manufacturing district and set back less than 50 feet away from a property
line; and Major Variation from Section 12-8-5.B.2 to allow a commercial mobile radio
service facility height to be greater than its set back distance from a residential district.
The existing 60-foot-tall commercial mobile radio service facility was approved
through a building permit in 1998 to be installed on the subject property 42 feet from
the west property line. Later in 1998, Ordinance Z-8-98 was approved, which repealed
existing regulations and enacted new land use and zoning regulations city-wide. The
new 1998 Zoning Ordinance added the definition, allowance, and bulk regulations for
commercial mobile service facilities including height, setback, and location restrictions
based on the zoning district. Specifically, the regulations restricting commercial
mobile service facilities from being located in any required yard and requiring them to
be a minimum of 50 feet away from all property lines made the existing commercial
mobile service facility non-conforming. Since its construction, the commercial mobile
service facility equipment was upgraded in 2011 and antennas were added in 2014.
This was permitted under the nonconforming structures rules because the height and
location of the facility did not change. However, the desired scope of work at this time
requires variation.
The petitioner wishes to modify the existing commercial mobile radio service facility
by adding a 30-foot-tall tower extension with twelve new antennae and related
equipment to address coverage and equipment requirements without the addition of a
new monopole. The proposed extension would result in a monopole height of 90 feet
with an overall equipment height of 93.5 feet as noted in the attached Architectural
Plans and Project Narrative. All regulations in Section 12-8-5 apply for commercial
mobile radio service facilities.
However, the two regulations in conflict with the petitioner’s proposal are noted below
pursuant to Section 12-8-5.B:
Page 6 of 10 9/19/2022
No commercial mobile radio service facility shall be located in any required yard, nor
shall a freestanding commercial mobile radio service facility be located within fifty
feet (50') of any property boundary line.
A freestanding commercial mobile radio service facility shall be set back from any
residential zoning district a distance equivalent to its height; provided however, that in
no case shall a freestanding commercial mobile radio service facility be located closer
than one hundred feet (100') from any residential district.
Since the proposal does not align with the aforementioned regulations, major variation
requests are required.
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) held a public hearing on August 23, 2022. The
Board made findings of fact, the rationale statements for which are captured in the
excerpt to the draft minutes of the August 23, 2022 meeting. The PZB recommended
(7-0) that the City Council approve the Major Variation requests without any
conditions.
Alderman Zadrozny moved, seconded by Lysakowski to approve ordinance Z-28-22,

Z-29-22
Vice-Chair Brookman presented Ordinance Z-29-22, An Ordinance Amending the
Text of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Des Plaines Regarding Convenience Mart
Fueling Station and Motor Vehicle Sales Uses (Case #22-030-TA).
The City Council through the City Manager assigned staff to identify and propose
amendments for various uses that currently require a conditional use permit but could
be entitled “by right,” or as a permitted use instead. As part of an ongoing goal to
increase business friendliness, the Council realizes that when a conditional use is
required, it adds a minimum 90 days to the start-up process of any use. Some
businesses that currently require a conditional use are those that may activate vacant
properties, generate tax revenue, or otherwise benefit the City, and the conditional use
process can discourage them from locating or investing here.
Nonetheless, conditional uses do serve a purpose, as stated in Section 12-3-4.A of the
Zoning Ordinance: “…uses which, because of their unique character, cannot be
properly classified in any particular district or districts without consideration, in each
case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring lands and upon the public need for
the particular use of the particular location.” For this reason, it is unlikely – and not
suggested – that all conditional uses be removed. But the assignment of the Council
and Manager begs two key questions in determining where there is opportunity to
convert conditional uses to permitted:
Page 7 of 10 9/19/2022
Which types of conditional uses are routinely approved with similar conditions across
various sites? Which types of conditional uses are associated with the type of business
and investment the City is especially looking to attract?
The C-3 General Commercial District is the most common business district in Des
Plaines and is the source of most conditional uses. To begin the process of amending
the Ordinance, staff has looked first at C-3 and identified two uses for which to
consider amendments: convenience mart fueling station and motor vehicle sales.
Staff respects the historical purpose of the Ordinance to place an added level of scrutiny
on certain uses, but there is an alternative approach: Instead of requiring a conditional
use, establish across-the-board, reasonable regulations that are enforceable on
permitted uses and designed to mitigate neighbor impact. The Zoning Ordinance
already contains notes that follow the use matrices as well as Specific Use Regulations
in Chapter 8, which currently cover antennae, radio towers, cell/mobile towers, bed-
and-breakfast establishments, childcare and adult daycare centers, home occupations,
residential care homes, consumer lenders, and cannabis business establishments. Using
a combination of the notes at the bottom of use matrices and Chapter 8, it is possible
to establish regulations that address the use sensitivity and potential neighbor impact
without requiring the conditional use process.
If the amendments are approved and a future business applicant encounters a hardship
or unique circumstance with the newly proposed standards, they could seek a variation.
However, major variations are akin to conditional uses in start-to-finish time (average
90 days), so staff’s intent at this time is to create across-the-board rules that would
hopefully not steer a use into a needed variation and instead promote compliance.
When building permits are required for either motor vehicle sales or convenience mart
fueling, the building permit will require a zoning approval based on the Site Plan
Review factors of Section 12-3-2. These factors cover a range of issues and allow staff
to require changes and when, for example, the use on the specific property creates an
unsafe or illogical circulation pattern.
Proposed Amendments: Convenience Mart Fueling
The following is a summary of the amendments related to convenience mart fueling:
• In the Commercial Districts Use Matrix (Section 12-7-3, Table 3), convenience
mart fueling becomes a permitted use in C-3 on sites 15,000 square feet or
more. The minimum lot area is reduced from the previous 20,000 square feet
because staff is aware of vacant, nonconforming gas station properties, and
obtaining a new user and investment will be easier if the threshold is lowered.
Under these amendments, a convenience mart fueling station would
nonetheless be required to provide the minimum parking and employ a
reasonable circulation pattern, but it eliminates the automatic disqualification
for sites smaller than 20,000 square feet.
• A new Section 12-8-14 is created, titled “Convenience Mart Fueling Stations.”
• Parking and Loading:
Except for spaces adjacent to fuel pumps, requires appropriate
identification and marking of the various types of required spaces (e.g.,
through signs or striping).
Page 8 of 10 9/19/2022
Requires that spaces serving the retail portion be located close to the retail
entrance.
• Landscaping:
Must submit and implement a landscape plan when required by the
landscape chapter of the Ordinance.
• Environmental Performance Standards
Reinforces the requirement of the use to comply with the strictest of local,
county, state, or federal requirements regarding noise, smell, toxic
materials, and all other common safety or operational issues.
• Sets the expectation for lighting plans and details that must be approved, with
some latitude given to the Zoning Administrator regarding examination of
existing lighting or installation of new lighting (e.g., requirement for a
photometric plan).
• Signs:
Reinforces the requirement to follow the sign chapter (Chapter 12-11) and
requires that signs be designed to minimize effects on adjacent property.
Prohibits installation on fences, light poles, etc.
Proposed Amendments: Motor Vehicle Sales
The following is a summary of the proposed amendments related to motor vehicle
sales:
• In the Commercial Districts Use Matrix motor vehicle sales would become a
permitted use in C-3 on sites of 22,000 square feet or more, which is roughly
.5 acres. The minimum lot area is an existing requirement that staff proposes
simplifying.
• A new Section 12-8-15 is created, titled “Motor Vehicle Sales Establishments.”
• Parking and Loading:
Requires clear identification and marking of the various types of parking
spaces (sales/display area, employee parking, customer parking) with
signs or striping.
Vehicle display cannot block entrances, drive aisles, etc.
Vehicles displayed for sale must be parked inside the property boundaries.
Except for vehicles displayed for sale, must always have valid license
plate and registration.
• Landscaping:
Must submit and implement a landscape plan when required by the
landscape chapter of the Ordinance.
Must install landscape buffer, which is usually a combination of plantings
and a fence, when required by the landscape chapter.
• Environmental Performance Standards
Reinforces the requirement of the use to comply with the strictest of local,
county, state, or federal requirements regarding noise, smell, toxic materials,
and all other common safety or operational issues.
• Sets the expectation for lighting plans and details that must be approved, with
some latitude given to the Zoning Administrator regarding examination of
Page 9 of 10 9/19/2022
existing lighting or installation of new lighting (e.g., requirement for a
photometric plan).
• Signs:
Reinforces the requirement to follow the sign chapter (Chapter 12-11) and
requires that signs be designed to minimize effects on adjacent property.
Prohibits installation on fences, light poles, etc.
• Vehicle Parts and Fully Assembly (added by Planning and Zoning Board):
These regulations require all service and repair activities to occur indoors,
require vehicles displayed for sale to be fully assembled, and prohibit the
outdoor storage or display of any vehicle parts.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing and heard the presentation of
staff. The Board was receptive to the amendments regarding convenience mart fueling
as drafted. However, the Board expressed a concern with the lack of mention of
outdoor storage or display of vehicle parts, particularly where auto repair is accessory
to a principal motor vehicle sales use. They suggested adding a provision to the newly
proposed specific use regulations that would cover this circumstance and, in general,
require any vehicles displayed for sale to be fully assembled. This modification was
incorporated into the motion, and the Board recommended (7-0) that the Council
approve the amendments as modified, based on their consideration of the Standards
for Amendments in Section 12-3-7.E.
Moved bv Alderman Brookman, seconded by Lysakowski to direct staff to separate
Convenience Mart Fueling Station and Motor Vehicle Sales from one ordinance and
to defer this item until a time determined by staff. Motion carried unanimously by voice
vote.

REDUCTIONS OF

Ordinance
Z-29-22
Vice-Chair Brookman presented Ordinance M-28-22, An Ordinance Amending Title
13 of the Des Plaines City Code Regarding Subdivision Procedures and Plats. The
proposed changes are designed to clarify and streamline both plat approval processes
and the ongoing and periodic reductions of performance securities that secure public
improvements.
The Subdivision Regulations work hand in hand with the Zoning Ordinance (Title 12)
to regulate land use and development in the City. Subdivisions occur frequently in
development projects, not only to split land into smaller pieces but also to consolidate
it when the boundaries and ownership of properties – often contiguous – change
through a redevelopment process.
The Regulations set up a Tentative and Final Plat process. The Tentative Plat comes
first and does not require as much detail as a Final Plat, which is ultimately the approval
upon which a subdivider can use toward building permitting and construction. While
some applicants take advantage of the two-step process, as the Tentative Plat is
designed to give a signal that a project design is on the right track before an applicant
invests in final engineering design, sometimes an applicant will choose to submit these
concurrently. Historically, the City has allowed this, but the code is currently not clear
on this process. The amendments are intended to add language to provide for applicants
to utilize this option—provided their submittal complies with the Final Plat
requirements.

Additionally, the Subdivision Regulations are the mechanism by which the City can
require applicants to pay for public improvements (generally infrastructure) that either
run through a site or border it in adjacent rights-of-way. The Code gives the
Department of Public Works and Engineering (PWE) the ability to determine which
public improvements are necessary given the location and scope of a proposed
subdivision project, as well as the current conditions of adjacent and connecting
infrastructure (e.g., street width, sewer capacity, etc.)
While the City and a developer/applicant always intend for public improvements to be
constructed in full as designed and required, in rare circumstances a project may not
be finished in the manner approved by the City Council. The Subdivision Regulations
provide a mechanism to protect against this instance by requiring a subdivider to file a
performance security – generally in the form of either a cash deposit or a letter of credit.
These securities, in an amount approved by PWE and the Council, are designed to
cover the full scope of required public improvement in the event that the City must pay
to complete public improvements.
However, recognizing that holding either liquid funds or credit in a large volume can
be hampering to a subdivider/developer, the Code provides for periodic reductions in
the performance security once certain benchmarks are completed in construction.
These are approved by PWE after inspection. Current practice has these amendments
approved only by Council resolution. These amendments allow for an
administrative/City Manager approval of reductions, still based on inspection approval
by PWE, up to 75 percent of the public improvement cost. The City Council would
retain resolution authority on the final 25 percent of the amount, as well as the
maintenance warranty, which is 10 percent of the full security amount and is held 18
months after the improvements are accepted by the Council.
Moved by Alderman Brookman, seconded by Lysakowski to direct staff to separate
the two issues from the ordinance and to defer this item until the next City Council
meeting on October 3, 2022. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.

Subject: Amendments to Title 13 of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations) Regarding the Plat of
Subdivision Application, Submittal, and Approval Process
Update: At the September 19, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council deferred consideration of Ordinance
M-28-22, which consisted of amendments to the Subdivision Regulations (Title 13 of City Code) in two
respects: (i) clarifications regarding the Plat of Subdivision application, submittal, and approval process; and
(ii)changes to the performance security reduction process for required public improvements. At the
Council’s direction, these topics have been split into two ordinances. Ordinance M-29-22, attached to this
report, addresses the subdivision application, submittal, and approval process.
Issue: Consider amendments to Title 13 of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations). The proposed
amendments are designed to clarify current practices in administering the Subdivision Regulations, notably
(i)to allow flexibility for submittal format, such as electronic; (ii) to clarify a current practice to allow
written property owner consent to suffice for initiating an application; (iii) to allow utility approvals via
written correspondence; and (iv) to allow specifically for an applicant to choose to combine tentative and
final plat approvals in a single, streamlined request.
Analysis: The Subdivision Regulations work hand in hand with the Zoning Ordinance (Title 12) to regulate
land use and development in the City. However, they are separate titles of City Code. Some development
projects require only zoning relief, some need only subdivision approval, and some need both. Subdivision
applications occur frequently with proposed projects, not only to split land into smaller pieces but also to
consolidate it when the boundaries and ownership of properties – often contiguous – change through a
redevelopment effort.
The Regulations set up Tentative and Final Plat steps. The Tentative Plat is designed to come first and does
not require as much detail as a Final Plat, which is ultimately the approval upon which a subdivider can use
toward building permitting and construction. Under the current code, the Planning and Zoning Board (PZB)
has final authority on a Tentative Plat but has only recommending authority on a Final Plat, which requires
the final approval of the City Council. Some applicants take advantage of the two-step process, as the
Tentative Plat can signal that a project design is on the right track per the Regulations before an applicant
invests in final engineering design. However, sometimes an applicant will choose to submit tentative and
final concurrently to save time. Historically, the City has allowed this, but the code is currently not clear on
MEMORANDUM

this process. The amendments are intended to add language to provide for applicants to utilize this option—
provided that their submittal complies with the Final Plat requirements and has undergone a staff review,
including Public Works and Engineering.
In addition, the City accepts written owner consent to fulfill the application requirement of Section 13-2-
1.B, but this is not explicitly enumerated in the text. The proposed amendments would clarify this current
practice. Further, at the Tentative Plat phase, the current language under “Utility Easements” refers to a
requirement of private utility companies to provide approvals “in writing,” but it is unclear whether that
should be printed directly on the plat. Historically, written correspondence has been accepted to augment a
plat application submittal. Under the amendments, the PZB would have the ability in its Tentative Plat
review to allow utility approvals to be provided at the Final instead of the Tentative Plat stage.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve Ordinance M-29-22, which amends the
Subdivision Regulations regarding components of the application, submittal, and approval process.

Subject: Amendments to Title 13 of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations) Regarding Reductions
of Performance Security for Required Public Improvements
Update: At the September 19, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council deferred consideration of Ordinance
M-28-22, which consisted of amendments to the Subdivision Regulations (Title 13 of City Code) in two
respects: (i) clarifications regarding the Plat of Subdivision application, submittal, and approval process; and
(ii)changes to the performance security reduction process for required public improvements. At the
Council’s direction, these topics have been split into two ordinances. Ordinance M-30-22, attached to this
report, addresses performance security reductions.
Issue: Consider amendments to Title 13 of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations). The proposed
amendments are designed to streamline periodic reductions of performance securities that secure public
improvements.
Analysis: The Subdivision Regulations are the mechanism through which the City can require applicants
(“subdividers”) to pay for public improvements (generally infrastructure) that either run through a site or
border it in adjacent rights-of-way. These improvements could lie directly on public property or on private
property that is for public use and benefit. Chapter 3 of the Regulations lays out the standard requirements
and gives the Public Works and Engineering Department (PWE) the ability to determine which public
improvements are necessary based on the location and scope of a proposed subdivision project as well as the
current conditions of adjacent and connecting infrastructure (e.g., street width, sewer capacity, etc.)
While the City and a developer/applicant always intend for public improvements to be fully constructed, in
rare circumstances a project may not be finished in the manner approved by the City Council. The
Regulations protect the City against this instance by requiring a subdivider to file a performance security –
generally in the form of either a cash deposit or a letter of credit. These securities, in an amount approved by
PWE and the Council, are designed to cover the full scope of improvements if the City must complete them.
MEMORANDUM
Page 1 of 9
UNFINISHED BUSINESS #1B.
However, recognizing that holding either liquid funds or credit in a large amount for a long time period can
be burdensome to a subdivider/developer, the Code provides for periodic reductions in the performance
security once certain benchmarks are completed in construction. These reductions are approved by PWE
after inspections. Current code allows these reductions to be approved only by Council resolution. The
proposed amendments allow for an administrative/City Manager approval of reductions, still based on
inspection approval by PWE, up to 75 percent of the performance security amount. Council resolutions
would be required on the final 25 percent of the amount. Further, Council approval would still be required to
accept the public improvements, as well as to release the maintenance warranty, which is 10 percent of the
full security amount and is held until 18 months after the improvements are accepted by the Council.
Finally, the proposed amendments broaden the definition of “public improvements” so that the term
includes privately owned infrastructure or facilities that are for public use and benefit.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve Ordinance M-30-22, which amends the
Subdivision Regulations regarding reductions in performance securities.

Property Area: 297,414.82 square feet (6.83 acres) north of Howard Avenue; 258,111.92
square feet (5.93 acres) south of Howard Avenue; total is 555,526.74 square
feet (12.75 acres).
Petitioner: Des Plaines Park District, 2222 Birch Street, Des Plaines, IL 60018

Street Classification White Street, Prospect Avenue, Stockton Avenue, Illinois Street, and Howard
Avenue are local roads.
Comprehensive Plan Open Space is the recommended use of the property.
Project Summary: The petitioner, the Des Plaines Park District, is requesting a Map Amendment
to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single Family Residential District to I-
1 Institutional District. Their intent is to bring the zoning in line with the district
typical for parks of more than two acres (I-1) and also to capitalize on the I-1
allowance for more than one principal building per zoning lot. There is currently
only one principal building, but in adding the pool and an aquatic building, there
are proposed to be two, which is not allowed in R-1. The associated variations
will facilitate revitalization of the park to include a new pool and bathhouse,
free game court, new playground equipment, two picnic shelters, lighting,
landscaping, expansion of the parking lot, and a new walking loop around the
park.
Project Details
The Arndt Park Aquatic and Recreation Facility is a proposed enhancement of
an existing park facility. One component of the proposed project is the interior
and exterior remodeling of the existing 2,617-square-foot field house.
According to the petitioners, the fieldhouse building would continue to provide
programming space for summer camps, athletics, classes, the Maine-Niles
Special Recreation Association, and community rentals.
New building construction would include a new 5,115-square-foot aquatic
center to the north of the fieldhouse. Outdoor pool facilities would include six
lap lanes, a shallow area, a dive well depth, pool deck, an on -deck picnic area,
and shade structures. This outdoor pool would serve as a replacement to the
recently demolished Iroquois Pool, which had previously served the south Des
Plaines community. The interior of the building is proposed to include a
building/concession center, restrooms, locker rooms, storage, mechanical
maintenance areas, and a lifeguard office. Proposed additions to the park overall
include a new walking path loop, free game court, new playground equipment,
two picnic shelters, security lighting, and an expanded parking lot.
Access to the site will continue to be provided along White Street. New lighting
will be located around the aquatic building and will not exceed the spillage
requirements. Refer to the Photometric Plan for locations and information on
spillage of light. Refer to the Site Plan for locations of these facilities and
Architectural Plans for specifics on the buildings.

ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
Development Standards for I-1 Versus R-1
Parks are a permitted use within R-1 zoning districts. However, the intended
zoning for public facilities, including parks, is I-1 zoning. The I-1 zoning
district is designed to recognize the public nature of specific areas or properties,
as well as provide guidelines for use and development in this zoning district,
and provide protection of public and semi-public facilities from encroachment
of noncompatible uses. Re-zoning this area to I-1 would more closely align with
the existing and future use of this park area. The below table provides a
comparison of standards for the current R-1 zoning to the proposed I-1 zoning.

Required Buffering Between Institutional and Residential Districts
A required buffer area including an eight-foot-tall, solid fence, shade trees, and
shrubs is required to exist between any institutional district abutting a
residential district. A section of the west and east boundary is abutting
residences and is required to provide this buffer. However, due to the existing
open space and turf in these areas, the petitioner has included a variation request
to Section 12-10-9.C to grant relief from the requirement. It is worth noting
there is existing fencing in these areas that has stood for years, and the petitioner
is arguing existing conditions should suffice, while also allowing desired
visibility into the park. Refer to the Site Plan and the Petitioner’s Response to
Standards for this variation for additional details.
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed project, including the proposed site improvements, address
various goals of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan to “Promote Recreational
Facilities to Boost the Local Economy” and policy 7.12 to “Continue to
implement the Des Plaines Park District’s Strategic Plan.” The Des Plaines Park
District’s Strategic Plan includes an objective to explore the renovation or
construction of pool facilities in the area, specifically noting Arndt Park as a
possible location for this type of facility.1
VARIATIONS
The District is seeking multiple variations, three of which are driven by its
desire to expand the existing parking lot. The expansion is intended to
accommodate an anticipated growth in visitors to the park with the construction
of the new pool facilities.
Outdoor parks require a minimum of two spaces plus one space for every half
acre of property. For this 12.75-acre park, thirty (30) spaces are required,
including two (2) accessible parking spaces. The site currently has sufficient
parking per the requirements – even with adding the aquatic facilities – with an
existing sixty-six (66) total parking spaces, including three (3) accessible
spaces. However, the District believes it is prudent to add parking. The
proposed new lot will provide ninety-seven (97) total spaces, four (4) of which
are accessible spaces.
Parking Lot Location and Curb
The I-1 district limits the location of parking in required yards to the rear. The
petitioner has included a variation to the I-1 standards to allow for parking in
the front yard. The existing parking lot is located in the front yard is proposed
to be expanded to the north. In addition, a variation is included to vary the
location of the curb and gutter. Parking areas are required to have curb and
gutter located a minimum distance of 3.5 feet from any adjacent property line
or right of way line, but the existing parking lot – and thus the proposed
extension – are directly next to the White Street right of way. Refer to the
Standards for Variation section for additional information and justification.

Plaines, adjacent to a low income population of residents. The development of the
proposed Arndt Aquatic & Recreation Facility is a revitalization project which will
improve recreation opportunities in this area of Des Plaines. The 13.84 acre
project includes finishing renovations to both the interior and exterior of the existing
fieldhouse which was built in 1958. This space will provide programming space for
district summer camps, athletics, specialty classes and Maine Niles Special
Recreation Association. It will continue to be utilized for community rentals. New
construction on the Aquatic Center includes a new pool and bathhouse with a
building/concession front office, outdoor accessible rest rooms and locker rooms.
The new pool facility will include lifeguard guard office, mechanical maintenance
room, storage and on deck picnic area. The construction features of this outdoor
aquatic center include: 6 lap lanes, shallow area, dive well depth, pool deck and
shade structures. These locker rooms will also be used by, athletic rentals (soccer,
baseball, and swimming). The new outdoor swimming pool will replace the existing
53 year old Iroquois Community Pool located approximately one mile away (five
blocks southeast) of Arndt Park would be moved to this location.

MAP AMENDMENT R-1 TO I-1
1. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the comprehensive plan, as adopted and amended from time to time by the
city council
The property in questions is a park and will continue to be a park. Moving the park
property to Institutional zoning is more in line with its use as a public facility, owned
and operated by the Des Plaines Park District.
2. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with current conditions and the
overall character of existing development in the immediate vicinity of the subject
property
The property in questions is a park and will continue to be a park. Moving the park
property to Institutional zoning is more in line with its current conditions and the overall
character of the existing development.
3. Whether the proposed amendment is appropriate considering the adequacy of public
facilities and services available to this subject property.
The property in questions is a public facility and will continue to be a public facility.
The map amendment is appropriate as zoning for a public park is better as
Institutional instead of R-1.
4. Whether the proposed amendment will have an adverse effect on the value of
properties throughout the jurisdiction.
The proposed zoning change is expected to have no adverse effect on the value of
neighboring properties. The property will remain a park.
5. Whether the proposed amendment reflects responsible standards for development
and growth.
The proposed map amendment reflects responsible standards for development and
growth. Moving the Park to Institutional zoning is more in-line with a public facility,
such as a park.

MAJOR VARIATION SECTION 12-7-5.A.5.a
1. Hardship: The existing facility is a park with an existing parking lot in the front yard.
The existing building and amenities on site prohibit the relocation of the parking lot. The
proposed condition will expand the existing parking lot to the north, to provide additional
parking for the proposed park improvements, keeping cars from parking on the public
street.
2. Unique Physical Condition: The existing facility is a park with an existing parking lot in
the front yard. The existing building and existing parking lot create a unique physical
condition where meeting the parking lot stall and drive isle standards between the
existing building and roadway, require a variance to parking in the front yard. The
proposed design mimics the existing condition.
3. Not Self-Created: The aforesaid unique physical condition, having an existing parking
lot in the front yard of the park, is an existing condition and not the result of any act or
inaction of the owner. Furthermore, this design maximizes the usable space and
provides a clear location where the public should park.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: Carrying out the strict letter of the provision would
generate a less efficient, less safe park. In park design, maximizing usable recreation
space for the public to enjoy is a good design principal to follow. Adhering to the strict
letter of the provision would then require a more meandering parking lot that would
break up the usable recreation space, depriving the owner, and the parks constituents
of the substantial rights the commonly enjoy today.
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The hardship is based on the location of the existing
building and the spacing required for a parking lot. The proposed project merely
expands the parking lot to the north. There is no significant change to the front yard
setback as they exist today.
6. Title and Plan Purposes: Confirmed. The lot will continue to be a park and provide
amenities to the public.
7. No Other Remedy: The hardship is based on the location of the existing building and
the spacing required for a parking lot. No other reasonable remedy is available.
8. Minimum Required: Confirmed. The requested variation is the minimum measure of
relief necessary to alleviate the alleged hardship.

MAJOR VARIATION TO SECTION 12-10-8.A.2
1. Hardship: Adding perimeter and landscape islands would increase the footprint of the
parking lot to the north. This expansion would make more park land impervious and
would impact existing trees that are planned to be saved.
2. Unique Physical Condition: The site is owned by the Park District where their goal is
to create open space and recreational opportunities. The existing parking lot that been
in place for years, included no perimeter or landscape islands and we are continuing
with that same design intent.
3. Not Self-Created: The physical condition of the site is to create as much open space
by reducing the expansion of the parking lot.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: Forest Preserve and City properties designated in the R-1
and/or I-1 would be in a similar category of the Park District in which they are public
entities that serve the same population. Arndt Park should be held to the same
substantial rights who have this same provision.
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The Park District does not deem this as a special
privilege. An existing parking lot has been there for decades without any perimeter or
interior landscape islands. Trees, mulch, and a new accessible sidewalk will be added
to separate the parking lot from adjacent neighbors.
6. Title and Plan Purposes: The landscape plan and overall park aesthetic still achieves
the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. Existing trees continue to
provide habitat during construction and the proposed landscape will enhance habitat
and introduce water quality on site through the stormwater basin which will be planted
with native landscape varieties.
7. No Other Remedy: The requested variation would reduce landscaping at the parking
lot perimeter and remove interior landscape islands. Landscape and trees are proposed
elsewhere on site for more adequate room in an environment suitable for long term
growth.
8. Minimum Required: Landscape is being installed around the parking lot. The
requested variation is only to reduce the requirement.

MAJOR VARIATION TO SECTION 12-10-9.C
1. Hardship: Adding the fence and landscape buffer requirement would create a barrier
for views into the site which is to be used by the general public.
2. Unique Physical Condition: The site is owned by the Park District where their goal is
to create open space and recreational opportunities. Along the western side of the lot,
existing residents have personal fences and plantings that we intend to leave in place.
3. Not Self-Created: The space is a publicly used space and want to have the space be
visible to the public. The exiting resident fences and plantings along the west side of the
lot were installed by others not the park district so they shall remain in place.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: Forest Preserve and City properties designated in the R-1
and/or I-1 would be in a similar category of the Park District in which they are public
entities that serve the same population. Arndt Park should be considered should be held
to the same substantial rights who have this same provision.
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The Park District does not deem this as a special
privilege. Existing plantings and fence have been there for decades and we will provide
additional plantings if requested on a per neighbor basis.
6. Title and Plan Purposes: The landscape plan and overall park aesthetic still achieves
the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. Existing trees continue to
provide habitat during construction and the proposed landscape will enhance habitat
and introduce water quality on site through the stormwater basin which will be planted
with native landscape varieties.
7. No Other Remedy: The requested variation would only remove the fence and planting
requirement for the ordinance. Shade Trees and shrubs would still be provided
throughout the site to increase the aesthetics of the site
8. Minimum Required: Leaving the existing fences and plantings in place to avoid
creating any additional barrier is the minimum that can be done.

Mayor Goczkowski and Des Plaines City Council, CITY OF DES PLAINES
Subject: Planning and Zoning Board, 1946-1990 White St (Arndt Park), Case # 22-031-MAP-V, 6th Ward
RE: Consideration of a Zoning Map Amendment and Major Variations
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Des Plaines City Council:
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) met on September 13, 2022 to consider several requests to allow for the
revitalization of Arndt Park: 1.) map amendment from the R-1 Single-Family Residential District to the I-1
Institutional District; 2.) a major variation to allow parking in the required front yard up to the lot line; 3.) a major
variation from the interior parking lot landscaping requirement; 4.) a major variation from the perimeter parking
lot landscaping requirement; 5.) a major variation from the required landscape buffering of areas abutting
residential district; and 6.) a major variation from the curb and gutter distance requirement for parking areas.
1.Don Miletic, executive director of the Des Plaines Park District, discussed the proposal for Arndt Park, to
expand the park amenities and construct a new aquatic center. The petitioner listed the necessary zoning
map amendment and variations to allow for this type of development. The petitioner stated variations are
primarily necessary to accommodate the parking lot, including the parking lot landscaping, and reducing
the landscaping buffer required for the west boundary.
2.CED staff summarized the staff report and explained the zoning map amendment request, overall project
details, and the variations necessary to facilitate the revitalization of the park.
3.PZB members asked about the areas of parking lot expansion and the location of trees. Petitioner stated
that approximately sixteen (16) trees would be removed and twenty-three (23) new trees added with this
project. PZB members also asked about pool hours, whether it will be heated (it will not) and proposed
park amenities for Arndt Park and other parks throughout the city.
4.Public comment for this item was received from one resident adjacent to the site regarding whether the
grass areas will be used for parking. The petitioner and CED staff confirmed all parking will be located
within the parking lot. CED staff noted a gate exists to the north blocking access to the pedestrian pathway
at the terminus of Prospect Ave to limit vehicular access. The petitioner stated only park maintenance
vehicles would be allowed to drive within the park.
5.The PZB recommended (7-0) that the City Council approve the request for Map Amendment to I-1 and
five (5) Major Variations with the following conditions: (i) Plans may be required to be revised during the
building permit process to adhere to applicable local and state building and engineering requirements; (ii)
All landscaping must be maintained according to the landscape plan included with this application. Any
modifications to the landscape plan will require review and approval by the zoning administrator. The
second condition is standard for approval ordinances, which require compliance with plans.

Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan illustrates this area as open space.
Zoning/Property History: South Park, renamed Arndt Park in 1982, was acquired by the Des
Plaines Park District (Park District) in 1951. The fieldhouse was
constructed in 1958 and currently exists in the southwest.1 1946
White Street was formerly a single-family residence. According to
city records, the park district purchased the property and
demolished the house, incorporating this area as open space into
the overall park complex in 2013. Park amenities include a
playground, basketball courts, baseball fields, and a
sled/snowboard hill with turf, shade trees, and other landscaping
throughout the site. Public parking is provided in the lot to the
southeast of the park, along White Street. The site is bisected by an
existing right-of-way for Howard Avenue, as shown on the
attached Location and Aerial Map. The site has been zoned Single
Family Residential throughout its known history.2
Project Summary: The petitioner, the Des Plaines Park District, is
requesting a Map Amendment to rezone the subject property from R-1
Single Family Residential District to I-1 Institutional District. Their intent

Attachment 6 Page 24 of 63
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
is to bring the zoning in line with the district typical for parks of more than
two acres (I-1) and also to capitalize on the I-1 allowance for more than
one principal building per zoning lot. There is currently only one principal
building, but in adding the pool and an aquatic building, there are proposed
to be two, which is not allowed in R-1. The associated variations will
facilitate revitalization of the park to include a new pool and bathhouse,
free game court, new playground equipment, two picnic shelters, lighting,
landscaping, expansion of the parking lot, and a new walking loop around
the park.
Project Details
The Arndt Park Aquatic and Recreation Facility is a proposed
enhancement of an existing park facility. One component of the proposed
project is the interior and exterior remodeling of the existing 2,617-square-
foot field house. According to the petitioners, the fieldhouse building
would continue to provide programming space for summer camps,
athletics, classes, the Maine-Niles Special Recreation Association, and
community rentals.
New building construction would include a new 5,115-square-foot aquatic
center to the north of the fieldhouse. Outdoor pool facilities would include
six lap lanes, a shallow area, a dive well depth, pool deck, an on-deck
picnic area, and shade structures. This outdoor pool would serve as a
replacement to the recently demolished Iroquois Pool, which had
previously served the south Des Plaines community. The interior of the
building is proposed to include a building/concession center, restrooms,
locker rooms, storage, mechanical maintenance areas, and a lifeguard
office. Proposed additions to the park overall include a new walking path
loop, free game court, new playground equipment, two picnic shelters,
security lighting, and an expanded parking lot.
Access to the site will continue to be provided along White Street. New
lighting will be located around the aquatic building and will not exceed the
spillage requirements. Refer to the Photometric Plan for locations and
information on spillage of light. Refer to the Site Plan for locations of these
facilities and Architectural Plans for specifics on the buildings.
Request Summary: ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
Development Standards for I-1 Versus R-1
Parks are a permitted use within R-1 zoning districts. However, the
intended zoning for public facilities, including parks, is I-1 zoning. The I-
1 zoning district is designed to recognize the public nature of specific areas
or properties, as well as provide guidelines for use and development in this
zoning district, and provide protection of public and semi-public facilities
from encroachment of noncompatible uses. Re-zoning this area to I-1
would more closely align with the existing and future use of this park area.
The below table provides a comparison of standards for the current R-1

Required Buffering Between Institutional and Residential Districts
A required buffer area including an eight-foot-tall, solid fence, shade trees,
and shrubs is required to exist between any institutional district abutting a
residential district. A section of the west boundary is abutting residences
and is required to provide this buffer. However, due to the existing open
space and turf in this area, the petitioner has included a variation request to
Section 12-10-9.C to grant relief from the requirement. It is worth noting
there is existing fencing in this area that has stood for years, and the
petitioner is arguing existing conditions should suffice, while also allowing
desired visibility into the park. Refer to the Site Plan and the Petitioner’s
Response to Standards for this variation for additional details.
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed project, including the proposed site improvements, address
various the goals of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan to “Promote
Recreational Facilities to Boost the Local Economy” and policy 7.12 to
“Continue to implement the Des Plaines Park District’s Strategic Plan.”
The Des Plaines Park District’s Strategic Plan includes an objective to
explore the renovation or construction of pool facilities in the area,
specifically noting Arndt Park as a possible location for this type of
facility.3
VARIATIONS
The District is seeking multiple variations, three of which are driven by its
desire to expand the existing parking lot. The expansion is intended to
accommodate an anticipated growth in visitors to the park with the
construction of the new pool facilities.
Outdoor parks require a minimum of two spaces plus one space for every
half acre of property. For this 12.75-acre park, thirty (30) spaces are
required, including two (2) accessible parking spaces. The site currently
has sufficient parking per the requirements – even with adding the aquatic
facilities – with an existing sixty-six (66) total parking spaces, including
three (3) accessible spaces. However, the District believes it is prudent to
add parking. The proposed new lot will provide ninety-seven (97) total

spaces, four (4) of which are accessible spaces.
Parking Lot Location and Curb
The I-1 district limits the location of parking in required yards to the rear.
The petitioner has included a variation to the I-1 standards to allow for
parking in the front yard. The existing parking lot is located in the front
yard is proposed to be expanded to the north. In addition, a variation is
included to vary the location of the curb and gutter. Parking areas are
required to have curb and gutter located a minimum distance of 3.5 feet
from any adjacent property line or right of way line, but the existing
parking lot – and thus the proposed extension – are directly next to the
White Street right of way. Refer to the Standards for Variation section for
additional information on the justification for the parking in this location.
Parking Lot Landscaping
Landscaping is required to be located on the interior of parking lots and the
perimeter. The petitioner has included a variation to reduce parking lot
landscaping in both locations. Refer to the table below for the requirements
and what landscaping is proposed to be provided.
Requirement Provided

Landscaping
Landscaping will be provided around the proposed building, including
shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, grasses and turf. The petitioner has
requested a Major Variation to Section 12-10-9.C to reduce the landscape
buffer requirements for required fencing and landscaping adjacent to the
residential zoning district to the west. Refer to the attached landscape plans
for information on location and the standard for variation provided by the
petitioner and below.
Standards for Zoning Map Amendment
The following is a discussion of standards for zoning amendments from Section 12-3-7(E) of the
Zoning Ordinance. Comments for how the proposed amendments would satisfy the standards is
provided. The PZB may use these comments as rationale, or the Board may make up its own. See
also the attached petitioner’s responses to standards.
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
comprehensive plan, as adopted and amended from time to time by the city council:
Comment: The land use for this property in the Comprehensive Plan is “Open Space,”, a
land use that includes public park and recreation areas. In the short term, the amendment
from R-1 to I-1 facilitates the new development on this property and fulfills the
Comprehensive Plan goal to, “promote recreational facilities to boost the local economy.”
The proposed project also supports Policy 7.12 to “Continue to implement the Des Plaines
Park District’s Strategic Plan.” The Des Plaines Park District’s Strategic Plan includes an
objective to explore the renovation or construction of pool facilities in the area,
specifically noting Arndt Park as a possible location for this type of facility.4
This site will continue to operate as a public park and provide necessary recreational
facilities for the area, encouraging the use of parks with the City instead of venturing into
other communities. In the long term, amending the zoning preserves this area as a public
facility. I-1 zoning prevents the use of this area for anything except public or semi-public
facilities and protects it from noncompatible uses.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
2. The proposed amendment is compatible with current conditions and the overal l
character of existing development in the immediate vicinity of the subject property:
Comment: Arndt Park has existed for 71 years in this location, a landmark within this
residential neighborhood. I-1 is the intended zoning for public facilities within the zoning
ordinance and this amendment aligns the zoning more closely with its historic and future
uses.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
3. The proposed amendment is appropriate considering the adequacy of public
facilities and services available to this subject property:
4 Des Plaines Park District Strategic Plan 2019-2024
Attachment 6 Page 30 of 63
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
Comment: There is no anticipated additional strain on public facilities and services for
this zoning amendment. The area seeking the amendment is currently a public park and
will continue to operate as a public park for the foreseeable future.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
4. The proposed amendment will not have an adverse effect on the value of properties
throughout the jurisdiction:
Comment: Amending the zoning to align with its current and future use as a public facility
will preserve this valuable recreational resource in the established neighborhood. This
amendment will have no adverse effect on property values in the city but reinforces the
continued operation of this land for public use.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
5. The proposed amendment reflects responsible standards for development and
growth:
Comment: This site is a public park and will continue to operate as a public park. The
Institutional District (I-1) is designed to protect public facilities, including parks, by
providing guidelines for their continued use and future development and preventing
incompatible uses to be located within these districts. This amendment would directly aid
in the enhancement of this park to include desirable recreational amenities for its adjacent
neighborhood and the community as a whole.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
Standards for Variation
Summary of Variation Requests
1. Major Variation from Section 12-7-5.A.5.a to allow parking in the required front yard at
the lot line (no setback).
2. Major Variation to Section 12-10-8.A.2 to vary required interior landscape areas in the
proposed parking lot expansion.
3. Major Variation to Section 12-10-8.B.3 to vary required perimeter landscaping areas for
the proposed parking lot expansion.
4. Major Variation to Section 12-10-9.C to reduce the landscape buffer requirements for
required fencing and landscaping adjacent to a residential zoning district.
5. Major Variation to Section 12-9-6.D to vary the location of the curb and gutter of a
parking area.
All of the variation requests are subject to the standards set forth in Section 12-3-6.H. of the
Zoning Ordinance. The petitioner’s statements for how the requests would satisfy each of the
standards is attached, along with staff comments below. The PZB may use the petitioner’s
statements or staff comments as rationale, or the Board may create its own. The standards that
serve as the basis of the rationale are the following:
1. Hardship: No variation shall be granted pursuant to this subsection H unless the
Attachment 6 Page 31 of 63
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
applicant shall establish that carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this
title would create a particular hardship or a practical difficulty.
Comment: The existing parking lot does not contain interior landscaping. The proposed
design seeks to balance the increased parking demand for the new aquatic facility without
increasing additional impervious surface. Including the required 5% landscaping would
expand the footprint of the parking lot, expanding impervious surface and requiring the
loss of existing landscaping and mature trees to the north of the property. Further,
requiring additional landscaping in the perimeter would result in the loss of existing
landscaping and open space in this area and reduce the amount of usable space in the park.
The variation for the parking lot curb is necessary to allow for the addition of curb to the
existing parking lot and expansion of this area. Moving the curb back 3.5 feet would be
impractical given the location of the current lot.
Regarding the required buffer screening (plantings and fence, notably along the west lot
line where the property abuts residential properties on Illinois Street), requiring a fence
and landscaping in this area would reduce the amount of visibility into the park in this
area for both the visitors and the adjacent residents. In the instance of Arndt Park, visibility
into the park is actually useful for public safety, and neighborhood observation is
important for observed ongoing use of the park.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ____________________________________________
2. Unique Physical Condition: The subject lot is exceptional as compared to other lots
subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including
presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or
nonconforming; irregular or substandard shape or size; exceptional topographical
features; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the
subject lot that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that
relate to or arise out of the lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner
of the lot.
Comment: The existing parking lot does not contain interior landscaping and the petitioner
seeks to continue this design with the expansion. This design reduces the loss of
landscaping elsewhere, including mature trees, to create landscape islands in the parking
lot. Existing turf and mature trees are located around the parking lot. Adding perimeter
landscaping would disturb the existing landscaping and open space of the park
surrounding the parking lot. The variation for the parking lot curb is necessary due to the
distance of the property line from the existing parking lot; the property line extends into
White Street rather than along the existing parking lot and park property.
Finally, the park has existed in this location for decades, and the adjacent residents have
erected their own fences in this area at the lot line. Adding an additional fence and
landscaping in this buffer area would be excessive and prevent visibility of the park for
the adjacent residents and visitors of the park.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ___________________________________________
3. Not Self-Created: The aforesaid unique physical condition is not the result of any
action or inaction of the owner or its predecessors in title and existed at the time of
the enactment of the provisions from which a variance is sought or was created by
Attachment 6 Page 32 of 63
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
natural forces or was the result of governmental action, other than the adoption of
this title.
Comment: The existing parking lot did not require interior landscaping, perimeter
landscaping or curb and gutter requirements when it was constructed. The petitioner seeks
to expand the parking lot and maintain the same design without meeting these
requirements. An additional landscaping and fencing buffer between residents and the
park property has not existed throughout its history and has not been required previously
due to its R-1 zoning. The petitioner seeks to maintain the same views of the park for the
abutting residents, both for aesthetic and surveillance purposes.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ____________________________________________
4. Denied Substantial Rights: The carrying out of the strict letter of the provision from
which a variance is sought would deprive the owner of the subject lot of substantial
rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same provision.
Comment: Creating interior landscaping would require a larger footprint for the parking
lot and thus removal of existing landscaping, open space, and mature trees to the north of
the parking lot. Strict adherence to the perimeter landscaping standards would require the
loss of other landscaping in the area surrounding the parking lot and reduce the amount of
available open space for park use. Strict adherence to the buffer requirements would
reduce the amount of useable recreational area and limit the amount of visibility of park,
adversely affecting the aesthetics and hindering surveillance of the park. Strict adherence
to the curb and gutter requirements would require offsetting the expansion area of the
parking lot from the existing parking lot. The intent of this park and all parks within the
city is to provide the maximum amount of attractive recreational space possible to the
public.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ___________________________________________
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The alleged hardship or difficulty is neither m erely the
inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right
not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor
merely the inability of the owner to make more money from the use of the subject
lot.
Comment: Requiring additional landscaping in the perimeter would result in the loss of
existing landscaping and open space in this area and reduce the amount of usable space in
the park. This park and all parks within the city have an interest in providing the maximum
amount of usable space for public use. A larger footprint would result in the loss of usable
public park area. This park and all parks within the city have an interest in providing the
maximum amount of usable space for public use.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ___________________________________________
___
6 Title And Plan Purposes: The variation would not result in a use or development of
the subject lot that would be not in harmony with the general and specific purposes
for which this title and the provision from which a variation is sought were enacted
or the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
Comment: The expansion of the parking lot without interior landscaping allows for a
Attachment 6 Page 33 of 63
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
smaller footprint to accommodate additional parking demand from the aquatic facility
without encroaching on other park amenities. Strict adherence to the perimeter
landscaping standards would require the loss of other landscaping in the area
surrounding the parking lot and reduce the amount of available open space for park use.
Strict adherence to the buffer requirements would reduce the amount of useable
recreational area and limit the amount of visibility of park, adversely affecting the
aesthetics and hindering surveillance of the park. Strict adherence to the curb and gutter
requirements would require movement of the parking lot and expansion into the public
street.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): ____________________________________________
7 No Other Remedy: There is no means other than the requested variation by which
the alleged hardship or difficulty can be avoided or remedied to a degree sufficient
to permit a reasonable use of the subject lot.
Comment: There are no other locations that parking can be reasonably located on the site.
According to the petitioner, this parking lot design is the most reasonable to meet
increased parking demand on the site without creating additional impervious surface and
loss of useable park space or expanding the parking lot into the public street . Further, no
other remedy maintains the same amount of existing landscaping including mature trees
in the perimeter of the parking lot. Finally, no other remedy would provide the same
visibility of the park features for adjacent residents and visitors of the park.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any):____________________________________________
8 Minimum Required: The requested variation is the minimum measure of relief
necessary to alleviate the alleged hardship or difficulty presented by the strict
application of this title.
Comment: Regarding parking lot location, parking lot landscaping (interior and
perimeter), curb and gutter location, and screening into the park, the petitioner has asserted
that full relief from the requirements is necessary to alleviate the hardship.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if any): __________________________________________
PZB Procedure and Recommended Conditions: Under Section 12-3-7.D (Amendments) and
Section 12-3-6.G. (Major Variations) of the Zoning Ordinance, the PZB has the authority to
recommend that the City Council approve, approve subject to conditions, or deny the above-
mentioned requests for a Map Amendment and Major Variations. The City Council has final
authority on the proposal. Consideration of the requests should be based on a review of the
information presented by the petitioner and application of the standards above.
Conditions of Approval
1. Plans may be required to be revised during the building permit process to adhere to
applicable local and state building and engineering requirements.
2. All landscaping must be maintained according to the landscape plan included with this

Chair Szabo swore in Don Miletic and Cayce Horton. Mr. Miletic is the Executive Director to
the Park District representing Des Plaines Park District and Ms. Horton is an architect for
Cordogan, Clark and Associates. Mr. Miletic explained the reasoning for the zoning change.
This is for the Arndt Park project which would be incorporating a pool and major improvements
to Arndt Park which is the 8.5- 9-million-dollar project. The zoning amendment from R-1 to I-
1 would be similar to other park districts. The park district will need to expand and redo the
parking lot which is currently has 66 space and would increase to 97 spaces. Looking to reduce
some of the planting along the street area. Requestor is also asking for reduces planting in the
park area further to the west where there is lots of fencing. The Des Plaines Park district would
like Arndt Park to have one of the nicest pools in Des Plaines.
Samantha Redman, Associate Planner reviewed the staff report.
Member Weaver asked since there is an area of expansion, will trees would need to be
removed for the project.
Mr. Miletic responded that 16 trees will be removed but they will be planting 23 trees. Mr.
Miletic states that 1946 White Street which was a home purchased by the park in 1997 and
later demolished.
Chair Szabo swore in resident Mike Roggeman, 1894 White Street asked if there would be
parking in the grass. He also asked if vehicles are able to drive in the park. Stating that would
be a safety concern.
Mr. Miletic responded that only vehicles allowed in the park are Des Plaines Park District
maintenance vehicles.
Samantha Redman stated that there is no vehicular access to the park except for to the parking
lot. Also, as seen on the site map there is an existing gate that blocks access on the north
boundary, at the terminus of Prospect Avenue.
Chair Szabo asked how long the pool would be open.
Mr. Miletic stated the pool would be open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. They hope the
project will be completed by August. He said depending on staffing they would like to keep
the pool open later into September for the first year.

Subject: Consideration of Major Variations Related to Hard Surfaces at 815 Thacker Street
Issue: The petitioner is requesting the following items under the Zoning Ordinance: (i) a variation to allow
the width of a residential driveway to be more than 20 feet, with approximately 2.5 parking spaces, for a
residential property with no garage; (ii) a variation to allow a residential driveway on a property with no
garage or carport to have no evergreen shrub landscaping along the entire exterior edge of the driveway; (iii)
a variation to allow a residential walkway to be less than one foot from the property line; and (iv) a variation
to allow a patio to be set back less than five feet from the property line.
A minor variation to allow a residential driveway to be less than two feet from the property line is also
required, but the Zoning Administrator will consider the request separately.

Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan illustrates the site as single-family residential.
Zoning/Property History: Based on City records, there have been continuous violations attributed to this
property from 2019 to present in regard to work being completed without
proper building permits starting with the removal of the residential driveway.
Code enforcement notified the petitioner with an enforcement letter on July 19,
2019 addressing the violations and a follow-up enforcement letter on August 7,
2019 when no response had been received and no building permit had been
filed. Around August 31, 2019, the petitioner approached staff regarding a
minor variation request for the driveway width and the setback of a concrete
pad and patio surface. Staff informed the petitioner of the requirements for the
minor variation and answered questions regarding the required submittals and
process. The Zoning Administrator determined that a minor variation request
could be approved—based on the attached 2019 Minor Variation Site Plan that
differs from the one that has been built and is proposed as part of this request—
but not before the other code violations on the property had been addressed.
On September 20, 2019, a ticket was issued for the removal of the driveway
followed by a citation to attend an administrative hearing on October 3, 2019
when no response was received. The petitioner contacted staff on October 3,
2019 and the administrative hearing date was moved to November 7, 2019. The
minor variation was approved on October 10, 2019 with the attached 2019
Minor Variation Site Plan. The petitioner did not show at the November 7, 2019
or December 5, 2019 hearings and the outstanding code violations had not been
resolved so fines were issued and the administrative hearing case was closed.
By June 22, 2020, work had begun on the property for the driveway without
proper building permits. Staff posted stop work orders and repeatedly contacted
the petitioner but received no response. Staff noted that the stop order signs
were removed from the residence and work was continuing on the driveway. A
citation was issued on June 26, 2020 for work done without a permit. By June
29, 2020, the driveway, sidewalk, and patio surfaces had been paved on the
property. On December 6, 2020, an administrative hearing was held and a final
judgement was given including a fine for all work done on the subject property
in 2020. This case was then escalated to Cook County Circuit Court with the
first hearing in February 2021 and monthly continuances since then. The next
scheduled court date is October 25, 2022, and the City Council’s decision will
be central in the hearing.

Project Description: The petitioner, Miguel Pulido, is requesting Major Variations for the following:
(i) to allow the width of a residential driveway to be 22’-11,” resulting in 2.55
parking spaces, where a maximum width of 20 feet is permitted for a residential
property without a garage or carport; (ii) a variation to allow a residential
driveway on a property with no garage or carport without the installation of
evergreen shrub landscaping along the entire exterior edge of the driveway; (iii)
to allow a residential walkway to be six inches from the property line where the
minimum is one foot from the property line; and (iv) to allow a patio to be six
inches from the property line where the minimum is five feet in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District at 815 Thacker Street. These requests are related to
existing structures and surfaces on the subject property that were installed
without a building permit and do not comply with the applicable regulations in
the Zoning Ordinance. Note that the proposed driveway width equates to 2.55
off-street parking spaces which makes the request ineligible for a minor
variation under Section 12-3-6.E.1.e. The subject property is 11,878 square feet
and is currently improved with a one-story, 1,561-square-foot residence as
shown in the attached Plat of Survey dated February 1, 2017. Since then, the
petitioner has done the following work on the subject property, which is the
genesis of the variation requests:
• The existing concrete residential driveway has been widened to 22’-11”
and is only six inches off the east property line;
• There is no evergreen shrub landscaping installed along the entire
exterior (east) edge of the driveway for a property without a garage;
• The existing concrete residential walkway has been widened to 6’-6”
and is only six inches off the east property line; and
• The existing concrete patio dimensions have been expanded to 16’-0”
long by 15’-0” wide and the patio is now only six inches off the east
property line.
The following code sections are in conflict with the petitioner’s request as
summarized in the table below:
Zoning Regulation Requirement Proposal
Driveway width (no garage or carport) Maximum 20’-0” 22’-11”, more
than 2.5
parking
spaces
Driveway Exterior Landscaping
(required for properties without a
garage or carport)
Evergreen bushes
installed along the
full exterior edge
of the driveway
No
landscaping
proposed
Driveway setback from property line Minimum 2’-0” 0’-6”
Walkway setback from property line Minimum 1’-0” 0’-6”
Patio setback from property line Minimum 5’-0” 0’-6”
Since the aforementioned improvements on the subject property do not meet
the requirements above, a major variation request is required for each item with
the exception of the driveway setback request which is a minor variation
decided by the Zoning Administrator.

PZB Recommendation and Conditions: The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) held a public hearing on
September 13, 2022 to consider the requests. The Board’s discussion and rationale are captured in the excerpt to
the draft minutes of the September 13, 2022 meeting. The PZB recommended (4-3) that the City Council approve
all requests.
Pursuant to Section 12-3-6.G.2.c of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council may vote to approve, approve with
modifications, or deny the requests, which are included in Ordinance Z-31-22. The Council has final authority
over the major variation requests. Should the City Council vote to approve the requests, staff recommends the
following conditions for the major variations.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
1. All improvements may not encroach in any easements or create any drainage concerns.
2. Petitioner must install at least three-foot-wide landscape areas on the west side of the driveway and in
front of the residence populated with shrubs and perennials. A landscape plan must be submitted to the
City identifying the landscape areas, their dimensions, and the names, quantity, and location of the
planting material to be installed within them.
3. The plans submitted at the time of building permit application must be revised to include dimensions
and labels necessary to denote the improvements and to comply with applicable City codes.
4. Petitioner must apply for and obtain all required building permits for the improvements. All documents
submitted as part of the building permit application process must be sealed and signed by a design
professional licensed in the State of Illinois and must comply with all City of Des Plaines building and
life safety codes.

Mayor Goczkowski and Des Plaines City Council
CITY OF DES PLAINES
Subject: Planning and Zoning Board, 815 Thacker Street, 22-032-V, 3rd Ward
RE: Consideration of Major Variations for Driveway Width, Walkway and Patio Setbacks, and Driveway
Landscape Requirements for Properties without a Garage or Carport
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Des Plaines City Council:
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) held a public hearing on September 13, 2022 to consider the following
items under the Zoning Ordinance: (i) a variation to allow the width of a residential driveway to be more than 20
feet, with approximately 2.5 parking spaces, for a residential property with no garage; (ii) a variation to allow a
residential driveway on a property with no garage or carport without the installation of evergreen shrub
landscaping along the entire exterior edge of the driveway; (iii) a variation to allow a residential walkway to be
less than one foot from the property line; and (iv) a variation to allow a patio to be set back less than five feet
from the property line in the R-1 Single Family Residential District at 815 Thacker Street.
1.Miguel Pulido introduced the variation requests to retain as is the existing hard surfaces that were installed
on the subject, which consists of three parcels, without any permits in violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
He described that part of the improvements on the property was a concrete swale, which he states has
helped alleviate flooding concerns on the property. He added that many other properties have utilized
concrete swales to help address water run-off and mitigate flooding concerns and showed pictures and
videos to illustrate this point.
2.PZB members asked about and discussed with staff and the petitioner the timing of this request, if permits
were obtained to install the surfaces on the property, if the flooding concerns expressed by the petitioner
were addressed with the City, and what surfaces were approved in the 2019 Minor Variation site plan in
comparison to the surfaces currently installed on the property. Throughout this process, CED staff
summarized the staff report with slides noting the previous and current violations on the subject property
in regard to work done without permits as well as provided clarification of code requirements and
enforcement history related to the subject property.
The petitioner discussed the flooding issues on his property and surrounding properties, mentioning that
they approached the City engineering department to address these concerns and were told that since it was
private property, they would need to address these concerns on their own. Staff reiterated that multiple
departments have worked diligently with the petitioner to address these concerns, noting that the 2019
Minor Variation site plan was approved in 2019 to address flooding issues on the property. The petitioner
claimed that the 2019 Minor Variation site plan did not address the flooding issues present on the property
at that time and that he could not get further assistance regarding this issue from the City. Staff confirmed
that they were not made aware of the petitioner’s concerns with the 2019 Minor Variation Site Plan and
had difficulty communicating with the petitioner. Staff added that multiple letters were sent and stop work
orders posted on the property to halt work but that no responses were received from the petitioner.
Additional discussion occurred regarding the concrete swales installed on the property and where the
water is diverted, specifically noting that the water is being relocated to the public street and not being
Attachment 6 Page 15 of 41
retained on the subject property. A further discussion on the installed driveway regarding its setback and
width. The petitioner contested that the driveway was 18’-10” and had four-foot- wide walkway alongside
it. Staff confirmed that since both surfaces directly abutted each other that the total driveway width was
22’-10”. It was also noted that the 2019 Minor Variation site plan identified a three-foot-setback from the
property line so additional pavement was added on both sides of the driveway without permits.
3. Two members of the public spoke on this request regarding the flooding concerns expressed by the
petitioner. One individual stated that the installation of the concrete swale and grading at the rear of the
property have alleviated the flooding issues that were previously present on the property. The other
individual who spoke this request was a neighbor who mentioned that the improvements done on the
property, among other actions of the petitioner, created flooding concerns on other properties. There was
a discussion regarding whether the flood concerns expressed by the second individual where present
before the improvements on the subject property were installed.
4. The PZB recommended (4-3) that the City Council approve the requested major variations.
Respectfully submitted,
James Szabo,
Des Plaines Planning and Zoning Board, Chairman

Zoning/Property History: Based on City records, there have been continuous violations
attributed to this property from 2019 to present in regard to work
being completed without proper building permits starting with the
removal of the residential driveway. Code enforcement notified the
petitioner with an enforcement letter on July 19, 2019 addressing
the violations and a follow-up enforcement letter on August 7, 2019
when no response had been received and no building permit had
been filed. Around August 31, 2019, the petitioner approached staff

could be approved—based on the attached 2019 Minor Variation
Site Plan that differs from the one that has been built and is

violations on the property had been addressed.
On September 20, 2019, a ticket was issued for the removal of the
driveway followed by a citation to attend an administrative hearing
on October 3, 2019 when no response was received. The petitioner
contacted staff on October 3, 2019 and the administrative hearing
date was moved to November 7, 2019. The minor variation was
approved on October 10, 2019 with the attached 2019 Minor
Variation Site Plan. The petitioner did not show at the November
7, 2019 or December 5, 2019 hearings and the outstanding code
violations had not been resolved so fines were issued and the
administrative hearing case was closed.
By June 22, 2020, work had begun on the property for the driveway
without proper building permits. Staff posted stop work orders and
repeatedly contacted the petitioner but received no response. Staff
noted that the stop order signs were removed from the residence
and work was continuing on the driveway. A citation was issued on
June 26, 2020 for work done without a permit. By June 29, 2020,
the driveway, sidewalk, and patio surfaces had been paved on the
property. On December 6, 2020, an administrative hearing was held

Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
and monthly continuances since then. The next scheduled court
date is September 21, 2022, and the recommendations of the PZB
will be considered in the hearing.
Project Description: The petitioner, Miguel Pulido, is requesting Major Variations for
the following: (i) to allow the width of a residential driveway to
be 22’-11,” resulting in 2.55 parking spaces, where a maximum
width of 20 feet is permitted for a residential property without a
garage or carport; (ii) a variation to allow a residential driveway
on a property with no garage or carport without the installation of
evergreen shrub landscaping along the entire exterior edge of the
driveway; (iii) to allow a residential walkway to be six inches
from the property line where the minimum is one foot from the
property line; and (iv) to allow a patio to be six inches from the
property line where the minimum is five feet in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District at 815 Thacker Street. These requests
are related to existing structures and surfaces on the subject
property that were installed without a building permit and do not
comply with the applicable regulations in the Zoning Ordinance.
Note that the proposed driveway width equates to 2.55 off-street
parking spaces which makes the request ineligible for a minor
variation under Section 12-3-6.E.1.e. The subject property is
11,878 square feet and is currently improved with a one-story,
1,561-square-foot residence as shown in the attached Plat of
Survey dated February 1, 2017. Since then, the petitioner has done
the following work on the subject property, which is the genesis
of the variation requests:
• The existing concrete residential driveway has been
widened to 22’-11” and is only six inches off the east
property line;
• There is no evergreen shrub landscaping installed along the
entire exterior (east) edge of the driveway for a property
without a garage;
• The existing concrete residential walkway has been
widened to 6’-6” and is only six inches off the east property
line; and
• The existing concrete patio dimensions have been expanded
to 16’-0” long by 15’-0” wide and the patio is now only six
inches off the east property line.
The following code sections are in conflict with the petitioner’s
Attachment 7 Page 19 of 41
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
request as summarized in the table below:

Walkway setback from property line Minimum 1’-0” 0’-6”

Since the aforementioned improvements on the subject property do not meet the requirements
above, a major variation request is required for each item with the exception of the driveway
setback request which is a minor variation decided by the Zoning Variation Findings: Variation
requests are subject to the standards set forth in Section 12-3-6(H) of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff
has the following comments based on the standards. The PZB may use staff comments, the
petitioner’s responses, or state their own comments as rationale for their decision.
1. Hardship: No variation shall be granted pursuant to this subsection H unless the
applicant shall establish that carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this
title would create a particular hardship or a practical difficulty.
Comment: Staff does not see a hardship or practical difficulty preventing the petitioner
from complying with the driveway width, landscaping, and setback requirements for
residential driveways, residential walkways, and patios. Generally, there is not only ample
space to install each of these surfaces and their respective non-paved landscape and/or turf
setback areas on the subject property in conformance with code requirements, there is
nothing that qualifies as a hardship or practical difficulty on the subject property that is
any different from all other residential properties, which are governed by the same
regulations. The 20-foot driveway width regulation allows for a minimum of two off-street
Attachment 7 Page 20 of 41
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
parking spaces, as required by code, and there is ample room on site to accommodate the
required two off-street parking spaces. This, is in addition to the available on-street
parking that is available on both the north and south sides of Thacker Street that front the
subject property, negates the parking and safety concerns asserted by the petitioner as
parking on the driveway apron is not necessary. A third off-street parking space was
available on the subject property via a single-car-wide attached garage. However, the
petitioner converted a portion of it into storage space, reducing its size so that is no longer
large enough to accommodate a vehicle and therefore eliminating an off-street parking
space on the subject property. It is important to note that the 2’-11” wide driveway area
that is in excess of the maximum driveway width regulation is only a partial parking space
so its removal to make the driveway compliant with the code would not remove available
off-street parking from the property. The front and interior side yards provide more than
enough room and design flexibility to meet the petitioner’s needs and meet the code
requirements. As these requests do not constitute a defined hardship or practical difficulty,
approving the variation requests would undermine the setback regulations and reward
work done without proper permitting.
2. Unique Physical Condition: The subject lot is exceptional as compared to other lots
subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including
presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or
nonconforming; irregular or substandard shape or size; exceptional topographical
features; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the
subject lot that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that
relate to or arise out of the lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner
of the lot.
Comment: Staff does not see a unique physical condition on the subject property that
warrants the requested variations. In fact, this property consists of three parcels
(collectively one zoning lot) and is larger than all of the residential properties in the
immediate vicinity, giving the petitioner ample space to locate and design improvements
to comply with all applicable codes. While the rear portion of the property has an irregular
shape, this in no way affects the surfaces that are the subject of the variation requests. The
petitioner has made improvements to address topographical aspects of the property related
to flooding on the property and has credited the installation of the concrete swales as an
impactful solution to these issues. While the concrete swales may alleviate these concerns,
staff argues that these swales would still be effective even if relocated to meet the
appropriate setback requirements. In fact, the decrease of paved area near the property
lines, especially along the side of the residence, would further help alleviate water run-off
concerns expressed by the petitioner. Thus, the variation requests appear to be more of a
personal preference and convenience of the property owner instead of a definable physical
condition. Nonetheless, see the Petitioner’s responses to Standards for Variations.
Attachment 7 Page 21 of 41
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
3. Not Self-Created: The aforesaid unique physical condition is not the result of any
action or inaction of the owner or its predecessors in title and existed at the time of
the enactment of the provisions from which a variance is sought or was created by
natural forces or was the result of governmental action, other than the adoption of
this title.
Comment: While the subject property’s location and size may not be a result of any action
or inaction of the property owner, the subject property was purchased with the
understanding of these attributes and conditions. Additionally, the further development of
the subject property through interior/exterior remodeling of the residence, site grading,
and the installation of the multiple hard surfaces—including the aforementioned
driveway, walkway, and patio surfaces that are subject of the variation requests—are the
direct result of the petitioner. In any case, it is staff’s opinion that the proposal does not
adequately utilize the available space and access on the site or appropriately design the
proposed improvements to avoid the need for variations. Nonetheless, see the Petitioner’s
responses to Standards for Variations.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: The carrying out of the strict letter of the provision from
which a variance is sought would deprive the owner of the subject lot of substantial
rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same provision.
Comment: Carrying out the strict letter of this code for the driveway width and various
hard surface setback regulations does not deprive the property owners of substantial rights.
First, while some homeowners may have larger garages or additional space that allows
them to install larger pavement areas on their properties, having the ability to construct
these larger pavement areas is not, in and of itself, a right granted to property owners. All
residential properties are governed by the same setback requirements in Section 12-7-1.C
of the Zoning Ordinance regardless of size, shape, and development. Enforcing the
setback requirements does not deny the property owners from constructing the hard
surfaces on the subject property but requires said hard surfaces to conform with the
applicable setback requirements that apply to all residential properties. The argument that
the requested variations for work done on the subject property without permits shall be
approved solely because other residential properties have existing non-conforming
surfaces near or abutting property lines is dubious, as property nonconformities are
common enough that property owners throughout Des Plaines must work with what they
have, so to speak. All obstructions in required yards, such as driveways, walkways, patios,
etc., are held to the same standards under Section 12-7-1.C, so enforcing the minimum
setback requirements would not deprive the property owner from any substantial rights
enjoyed by other single-family residential properties.
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The alleged hardship or difficulty is neither merely the
inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right
not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor
merely the inability of the owner to make more money from the use of the subject
lot.
Attachment 7 Page 22 of 41

Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
Comment: Granting this variation would, in fact, provide a special privilege for the
property owner not available to other single-family residential properties. Namely, the
hard surfaces that are the subject of the variation requests were installed on the property
without permits in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. Approving the variations under this
condition, even if merit is found for any of the requests, reinforces improper actions by
the homeowner that would not be eligible for other residents. While other properties may
have existing non-conformities in relation to driveway, walkway, and patio setbacks for
surfaces established through earlier regulations—and have repaired said non-conformities
regularly—this does not compare to the proposal on the subject property for new non-
conformities created without permits in direct violation of the current codes. The
aforementioned consideration for setbacks indicates to staff that variation decisions are
made on a case-by-case, project-by-project basis upon applying the variation standards.
In those evaluations, the determining body (e.g. PZB and/or City Council) usually looked
to see if the applicant exhausted design options that do not require a variation. In this case,
it seems there are different design options and positions for the surfaces on this site, given
the ample space in the front and side yards. Granting a variation for this design, when
other viable options are available, could be too lenient and tread into the territory of
allowing a special privilege. Nonetheless, the PZB and Council should decide.
6. Title And Plan Purposes: The variation would not result in a use or development of
the subject lot that would be not in harmony with the general and specific purposes
for which this title and the provision from which a variation is sought were enacted
or the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
Comment: On one hand, the project would allow re-investment into a single-family home,
which the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan want to encourage. However, the
proposed hard surfaces, including their dimensions and setbacks, is largely for the benefit
of the property owner. For one, the existing driveway is currently able to accommodate
multiple vehicles on the subject property without a perceived impact on the street and
alley. The previous attached garage, a portion of which was converted into storage space
making it unusable for vehicle parking, did provide another off-street space in addition to
the driveway. The proposal not only fails to provide additional adequate off-street parking
space outside of the requirements on the site but also adds additional impervious surfaces
on the property with known flooding and drainage concerns, neither of which aligns with
Chapter 7: Water Resource Management of the Comprehensive Plan. Moreover, staff’s
review concludes that there are reasonable options for redesigning the hard surfaces on
site to provide adequate parking, pedestrian access, and recreation space without needing
relief from the required setback regulations.
7. No Other Remedy: There is no means other than the requested variation by which
the alleged hardship or difficulty can be avoided or remedied to a degree sufficient
to permit a reasonable use of the subject lot.
Attachment 7 Page 23 of 41
Case 22-031MAP-V 1946 & 1990 White Street Map Amendment
Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
Comment: There are multiple alternatives to the proposed setback variations being
requested by the petitioner. First, the driveway width regulation allows for a 20-foot-wide
driveway surface that is more than enough space for vehicle access and parking.
Repurposing the space previously utilized as an attached single-car-wide garage would
provide an additional off-street parking space. Further, the space between the residence
and the east property line is more than sufficient to accommodate a walkway with concrete
swale for paved pedestrian access and the one-foot-wide non-paved separation area.
Alternatively, the existing walkway installed along the other side of the residence could
be widened where there is even more space to design and accommodate a wider walkway.
If additional drainage needs are realized, a drainage system along the side of the residence
or walkway could be installed to handle water run-off instead of excessive paved areas or
concrete swales. The rear portion of the site is expansive and could easily be utilized for
patio space that is nowhere near property lines. The existing patio at the back of the house
could also be expanded to the south away from the house while still maintaining the
required 5’-0” setback requirement from the property line. The identified receptacle pad
alongside the house could also be positioned and designed against the residence to attach
to the walkway while also being located a minimum of one foot off the property line.
Given the multiple alternatives available, the PZB may wish to ask why certain alternative
designs are not feasible.
8. Minimum Required: The requested variation is the minimum measure of relief
necessary to alleviate the alleged hardship or difficulty presented by the strict
application of this title.
Comment: The request for the setback reduction is not, in staff’s opinion, the minimum
measure of relief to address the petitioner’s concerns. Instead, the petitioner could
redesign the proposed hard surface areas to better utilize the available property and to
meet the requirements.
PZB Procedure and Recommended Conditions: Under Section 12-3-6(G) of the Zoning
Ordinance (Major Variations), the PZB has the authority to recommend approval, approval
subject to conditions, or denial of the major variation requests for the single-family residence at
815 Thacker Street. The decision should be based on review of the information presented by the
applicant and the standards and conditions met by Section 12-3-6(H) (Findings of Fact for
Variations) as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council has the final authority. If the
PZB recommends approval of the requests, staff recommends the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
1. No easements are affected or drainage concerns are created.
2. Minimum three-foot-wide landscape areas shall be installed on the west side of the
driveway and in front of the residence populated with shrubs and perennials. A landscape
plan shall be provided identifying the landscape areas, their dimensions, and the names,
quantity, and location of the planting material to be installed within them.

Chair Szabo swore in Miguel Pulido, Mr. Pulido is the petitioner. Mr. Pulido stated the reason
for applying for the variations is to keep the concrete as it is. The reason he did it is because his
property had continued issues with extreme flooding. He said the cement work and swale collect
and reroutes the runoff and it is typical every other house on the block. He feels the swale has
helped to protect neighbors from flooding. Mr. Pulido stated that the Des Plaines City Engineer,
Mr. La Berg, was out 3 weeks ago and even checked the grading mentioning that he should keep
it. Mr. Pulido showed photos and videos of before and after the concrete work. Mr. Pulido showed
a video after last heavy rain showing no puddling because driveway was pitched towards the
swale and goes down to the storm drain. Mr. Pulido stated all his neighbors love the work because
it is protecting their properties as well. Mr. Pulido is asking that we leave the work as is and move
on to allow the variation and permit.
Chair Szabo asked if this work was done two years ago, how did you end up here tonight?
Mr. Pulido stated that there is a lawsuit going on. And this is the next step to finalize it. Mr.
Pulido stated that he had a partial permit to start but he did not agree with all of the restrictions,
so he was working to get a full permit. He states his work is typical and within code.
Member Hofherr asked how many violations or citations Mr. Pulido has had with the City of
Des Plaines for work without permits.
Mr. Pulido stated he has been in court every two months since 2020 and they have all been
continued since he is working with zoning. Mr. Pulido stated the fee was dismissed but he had
a fine that was around $1000.
Member Hofherr said it took numerous tickets before you came through to get this resolved. I
am sure they told you that you need a permit.

Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
Member Saletnik asked the staff at what point did engineering get involved and why did it take
two years to get it resolved?
Jonathan Stytz, Senior Planner, responded that staff has been working with the petitioner since
2019 but is unaware of the exact date that engineering became involved. Senior Planner Stytz
mentioned that additional information will be provided to answer this question in the review of
the staff report.
Chair Szabo asked staff to review the staff report, which Senior Planner Stytz did.
Senior Planner Stytz explained that staff stated that in July 2019 Code Enforcement sent a letter
to Mr. Pulido for work being done without a permit and sent a follow-up letter on August 7, 2019
when no response had been received and no building permit had been filed. Around August 2019
the petitioner submitted a permit for a minor variation to help alleviate the flood concerns
expressed and to allow additional parking spaces. Senior Planner Stytz displayed and discussed
the minor variation site plan that was approved in 2019, identifying what surfaces where
approved. He added that the corresponding building permit for the minor variation site plan was
approved but never picked up by the petitioner.
Staff further described that in 2022, work began on the driveway without any permits. Des
Plaines Code Enforcement staff posted stop work orders which were not followed. A diagram
was shown and explained of what was approved in 2019 versus what was completed in 2022.
He mentioned that there were no building permits for the work completed in 2022.
Staff explained each of the variations requested by the petitioner, noting that there was a recent
remodel to the home that removed an existing attached garage, classifying the property has
having no garage or carport, and now requiring a major variation for the proposed driveway
width request. He also added that properties without a garage or carport are required to install
landscaping along the full exterior edge of the driveway.
Member Hofherr asked if the City was aware of the hard surfaces installed on the property and
approved of them or if the hard surfaces were installed without approval until they were
addressed by the City.
Staff recalled that 2019 Minor Variation was approved to address the flooding and parking
concerns expressed by the petitioner and referred to the 2019 Site Plan noting the approved hard
surfaces and their dimensions.
Member Saletnik asked to go back to the site plans for questions. He asked the petitioner if he
addressed the swale and drainage problem with the city before doing the work.

Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
Mr. Pulido once again stated that the work is typical of other homes on Thacker. I did it to
protect against the extreme flooding. Mr. Pulido stated that the City Engineer was out and
checked it out and reported to the court that the grading in my backyard is perfect and my
concrete should remain to keep his neighbor’s property dry.
Staff went over other slides showing violation of current codes including driveway, sidewalk,
and patio extensions in addition to the removal of the existing garage removed.
Member Catalano asked if Engineering was involved and whether they authorized it?
Senior Planner Stytz stated that engineering was involved in 2019 but he is not aware of any
current engineering report.
Chair Szabo swore in Tim Burchard, 823 East Thacker. Mr. Burchard said he is a neighbor of
Mr. Pulido. Mr. Burchard’s father has lived in the house for 30 years. He stated that this is the
first time in 30 years that he did not have pooling in his yard. He stated that before the concrete
was done that he would have puddled in his and his neighbors’ yards. Mr. Burchard stated he
has no objections to the variations. Mr. Burchard also stated that he talked to the engineer and
stated Mr. La Berg agreed that the swale does help with the water retention issue.
Chair Szabo swore in Jove Joy, 795 East Thacker, two houses west of Mr. Pulido. Mr. Joy stated
that Mr. Pulido has been doing a lot of work the last few years including a roof, siding and
concrete and did not know if he has had permits. Mr. Joy stated that when Mr. Pulido built his
driveway, he put all the dirt on his additional property which is located behind him. He believes
he is using the dirt to increase the height of his yard causing flooding in the neighboring yards.
He believes the other neighbor that is affected has already reported to the city. Mr. Joy stated he
does not have any pictures, but he can bring some next time. Mr. Joy stated his other neighbor
is also having problems but was not available to come to the meeting. He was just responding
to letter sent.
Member Fowler asked staff if the triangular properties in the back have anything to do with this
variation.
Staff stated no the two triangle properties in the back do not affect the variations we are
discussing.
Member Weaver stated that he is concern about the accomplished drainage for the few houses
that was done without permit is channeling the water to other areas. Channeling water does not
make it go away. Where is that water going?
Mr. Pulido states that the water is channeling and draining into the lawn and down the storm
drain not causing accumulation. Also, the city walkway has a control joint that stops the water
between your driveway and the city sidewalk.

Case 22-032-V 815 Thacker Street Variation
Chair Szabo asked if Engineer La Berg went to court and said that the work is fine. Did he sign
off on what you have done?
Mr. Pulido stated yes, Engineer La Berg came out to court, and it was continued until September
2022 depending on the outcome of this meeting.
Staff stated that the first circuit court meeting was in February of 2021 and has been continued
monthly since then. The next meeting will be September 21,2022. Based on the determination
of tonight’s meeting we will relay the information to the Circuit Court Case.
Member Catalano stated that Mr. Pulido solved his drainage problems. But we need verification
from Engineer La Berg and Mr. Catalano suggested we table this until we talk to Engineer La
Berg.
Member Weaver stated that the case before us and the Cook County circuit court is fees for not
having a permit and not obeying the stop work orders. Mr. Pulido has had a three-year process
of not getting approval. This is not about whether Mr. Pulido’s solution is working. This is still
a case about the building permit process not being followed.
Mr. Pulido stated that he is sorry for the past and he was just trying to get things done for his
family to be able to move into the house. He stated he is sorry for not following the process, but
he wants to continue working and building in Des Plaines. He stated he just wants to move on
from this.
Member Veremis asked if the court case was only dealing with fines and penalties if the outcome
of this meeting would affect circuit court.
Staff stated that the motion or decisions from this meeting will be considered by the court in their
proceedings.
A motion was made by Board Member Fowler, seconded by Board Member Saletnik to
recommend approval of the following items: (i) a variation to allow the width of a
residential driveway to be more than 20 feet, with approximately 2.5 parking spaces, for a
residential property with no garage; (ii) a variation to allow a residential driveway on a
property with no garage or carport without the installation of evergreen shrub landscaping
along the entire exterior edge of the driveway; (iii) a variation to allow a residential
walkway to be less than one foot from the property line; and (iv) a variation to allow a patio
to be set back less than five feet from the property.

I am writing concerning my one story residential home in the city of Des Plaines. In the hopes to
soon live there with my wife and three daughters that are currently attending Forest Elementary
School.
The driveway measures 22 feet 11 inches of that 4 feet is the sidewalk leading to the front door,
leaving 18 feet 11 inches just enough space to park two cars. The driveway, sidewalk, and patio
on the east side all remain 6 inches away from the property line including a concrete swale to run
off water. The lowpitch valley long roof caused flooding and standing water between my home
and my neighbor’s home at 823 E. Thacker St.. This concrete driveway was completed 3 years
ago and my neighbor has resided at their home for over 30 years. They recognized the problem
of constant flooding and once my driveway was in place the space between our homes has been
without flooding since. If the concrete swale were to be removed by cutting it off the area will
begin to flood again like it would before the construction of the driveway since there'd be
nothing to route it out to the street onto the storm drain.
1. Hardship: if it is decided that we cut off some of the concrete we would have trouble
parking our 2 cars and having enough space for our walkway into our home. And the
runoff water ponding between 815 and 823. My daughter will start driving in the future
and with barely any parking space we would have to park on the apron and block the
view of our neighbor when he is backing out of his driveway onto the street and can
cause an accident.
2. Unique Physical Condition: This is not a unique situation since I have seen other
properties with a swale at the property line. The only reason why the driveway is 22 feet
and 11 inches is because our 4 foot walkway to our front door is conjoined with the
driveway.
3. Not Self-Created: The swale was mainly created because of the runoff water. The runoff
water would pond between the properties in heavy rain and the ponding could have
weathered our home foundation and cracked the foundation making a bigger problem.
4. Denied Substantial Rights: Other properties with the same situation have been granted the
right to have a concrete swales or just concrete up to the property lines. There are lots of
examples like the property at 462 E Thacker st, 1302 6th ave, 690 North ave, 821 E grant
Dr, 161 Mt prospect Rd, and 1302 S 6th ave in Des plaines
5. Not Merely Special Privilege: The swail should stay since it will benefit me and my
neighbors. The water will be channeled out instead of making a swamp between 815 and
823 E thacker st. With the water swamping between the houses, it will flood the area
where his A/C unit and gas meter are located.

Variation Application
6. Title And Plan Purposes: This variation would be the best solution to the ponding. It
would be the best solution because the water will have somewhere to go since slope and
swale direct the water to the front.
7. No Other Remedy: there is no other good solution to stop the ponding between 815 and
823. This is the best solution because it controls where the water is going and there has
already been major improvements because the water has stopped ponding between the
houses and kept the area nice and dry.
8. Minimum Required: Keeping the swale is the minimum measure of relief. If we remove
the swale my neighbor will not allow it since it will pond the area between our houses
and be unusable.
