III. McDONALD'S CORD - REZONINCS AND TEXT AMENDME NTS
Jack Lawlor, attorney representing McDonald's, introduced everyone who will be making a
presentation on behalf of McDonald's.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes January 16, 1995
1
Bonnie Kos, Corporate Representative for McDonald's Corporation, said that they are very proud
of the relationship they have built with the Village. Oak Brook is a first class residential and
business community. The employees and management of McDonald's are extremely proud and
feel very fortunate to have shared and participated in the growth of such "a Village. As the
Village is looking forward to it's long range future success and growth, McDonald's finds itself
in the same position.
They started building the office campus in 1976 and they are almost at the end of that twenty
year plan. The company has gone through dramatic growth and change during this time. They
have taken over the 711 Jorie Blvd. (300,000 square feet) and the purchase and renovation of the
building at 800 Commerce. They do not want to grow with pieces of property and facilities
spread around the Village. While it may seem premature, they feel it is necessary to discuss it
with the Village now. As business becomes more competitive large multi-national companies
have to do responsible planning. If they want to stay number one in their industry, they have
to do it too. When they moved to Oak Brook in 1971 they had 280 employees. Today they have
2400. In 1977, when they appeared before the Village with plans for the South Campus, they
had 3,000 restaurants. Today, they have 15,000; of which 5,000 are internationally based.
Employees in Oak Brook have been increasing at a.rate of 10% per year for the last few years.
They expect this number to level off by next year. However, the term "level off' means to 8%
in two years, and then to increase at a rate 6% yearly after that.
It is totally possible for McDonald's to be out of current buildable space by the year 2000. In
short, they need to complete long-term planning now and determine if Oak Brook can
accommodate their long-term needs before investing further in short-term solutions. They are
here tonight because of the following:
1. They hope to retain a centralized headquarters rather than disperse headquarters
around Chicago and around the country. They have people around the country
that they would like to have in Oak Brook.
2. Their goal is to consolidate operations as much as possible within contiguous
parcels in Oak Brook. (Campus North and South). McDonald's only prudent
course of action is to obtain adequate zoning approvals to support long-term
growth while retaining the flexibility to accommodate changes in the market.
McDonald's and the Village of Oak Brook have the expertise and professionalism to continue to
work closely together to meet these challenges with the same degree they have achieved in the
past. They also believe that McDonald's continued presence in the Village will enhance the value
of the executive residential homes of which they have many living in Oak Brook. They believe
that it will bolster the balance of the Oak Brook real estate market, can stabilize the real estate
tax base of local government bodies, and add to the employee based segment of Oak Brook retail
sales and service businesses. During the recent traffic studies, 2 percent of the trips that leave
the plaza after work go to the Oak Brook Center.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes January 16, 1995
(� 2
They will be describing their Master Plan to be developed over the next twenty years. They need
to know if Oak Brook can accommodate their long-term needs. They have limited the scope of
the zoning requests to levels that can be accommodated by the existing street system as enhanced
by additional turning lanes. The time and sequence of these projects is yet to be determined.
Their goal is to plan for long-term maximum flexibility. She thanked the Village for allowing
them to come forward to present this long-term plan.
Joe Antunovich of Antunovich Associates said that of the 128 acres that McDonald's owns or
currently has under option, the corporation's intent is to apply the same level of detail and design
attention to all those properties as was applied to the 74-acre office campus site. A book of
exhibits dated January 16 was passed out to all members to use as reference during his
presentation. He reviewed McDonald's objectives and summarized their zoning requests detailing
the proposed changes in zoning, analyzing the increase of the F.A.R., and increase in building
height. He made the following points:
1. The flood retention will be complied with pursuant to the DuPage County
Stormwater Management Plan.
2. Parking will be in excess of the requirements of Village Ordinance.
3. The County plans to upgrade Oak Brook Road by 1997 and McDonald's would
be interested in tying into Oak Brook Road immediately west of Salt Creek.
4. They have met with the Hinsdale Sanitary District, Mike Meranda, and Bollinger
and Lach and have determined that the water system in Oak Brook can support
this size development.
5. Increasing the structure height in some areas from 35 feet to 70 feet utilizes the
F.A.R. to preserve ground space.
6. Autumn Oaks property from Route 83 to Jorie Blvd. will be changed to ORA-1.
Ronald Lane will be extended through Jorie and signalized at Jorie Blvd. There
will be a large setback from Route 83 and it will be developed as a large
landscaped park.
7. Using todays zoning standards, McDonald's can build approximately two million
square feet. The overall increase sought over the next 25-30 years is an additional
one million square feet.
8. These will not be overnight changes.
9. 76% of the South Campus site will remain as open space even when the plan is
fully implemented.
Jack Lawlor reviewed McDonald's application and their intent as explained in the January 16
Exhibit book. The Plaza I site has split zoning and cannot be further developed with the
remaining parcel of land. Changing this area to meet the surrounding ORA-2 District is.a logical
map change. The preliminary planning report issued by Lohan with respect to the Village's
comprehensive planning effort also recommends that the density in this business core be
increased to 1.2. This will have a minimum impact on the surrounding residential areas and will
enhance the competitiveness of Oak Brook. ORA-2 is isolated from residential areas on the east,
south, and west. There are some residential areas to the extreme north and are substantially
buffered by the Salt Creek water shed. This area is adjacent to the 0-3 office area that currently
contains 11 and 12 story buildings.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes January 16, 1995

The South Campus east of Jorie is unique in Oak Brook and is much like a planned development
site. They are requesting the addition of one level on the South Campus building and seeking
an increase of the ground level building coverage from 15 to 24%, primarily to accommodate
parking structures. The majority of the site will remain as open space.
They are seeking to decrease the ORA-3 minimum lot size from 70 acres to 5 acres. There are
no other minimum lot sizes in respecting office properties in Oak Brook. This essentially means
that McDonald's could not sell or dispose of any portions of the South Campus. They are
seeking parity with other property owners or something more reasonable.
McDonald's will continue to honor the parking requirement ratios or exceed them. Much of the
development will occur in areas screened from adjacent property and public right-of-way by
considerable distance and foliage. The development of the South Campus will add to the tax
base and appears to be consistent with the Village's comprehensive plan review.
Traffic Consultant, Norm Roden reviewed the recommendations of his firm as a result of traffic
studies and analysis of the streets and infrastructure systems. Field studies were done on traffic
and all studies are based on current usage and at the completion of McDonald's phases. Levels
of service rated from A to D are acceptable. The street system operates satisfactorily in all areas
with the exception of the following streets:
1. 22nd and Spring Road is currently rated E. - Recommend the addition of a
northbound and southbound through lane. There will be better performance in
future than at the present time - D.
2. McDonald Drive and 22nd Street - recommend the addition of a westbound right
turn lane.
3. Spring and Commerce - recommend the signal be modified so that two lanes can
turn left at the intersection.
South Campus study:
4. 31st and Jorie - critical rated E. Recommend the addition of another southbound
turn lane going east on 31st. This should be done when the Oak Brook Road
improvements are made in 96-97. Recommend the addition of another southbound
turn lane going west onto 31st. To move the heavy traffic through that area, an
additional southbound turn lane onto Route 83 is needed. This will require a
wider ramp.
5. A new intersection is proposed linking a newly aligned Ronald Lane to Oak —
Brook Road. This would not initially warrant signalization with the developed 4-
lane Oak Brook Road.
6. Kroc Drive is recommended that the left turn lane be turned into a dual lane.
7. Ronald Lane and Jorie to be changed from a T-intersection to a cross-street. This
site would warrant signalization and would aid the reduction of traffic onto Jorie
Blvd.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutea January 16. 1995

These changes will be added in as McDonald's phases are developed and the changes will result
in improved services to the roadway system.
Harlan Spiroff, attorney for the Oak Brook Park District, said that on behalf of the Park Board
he gave the Park District's approval and recommendation for approval of McDonald's Plan to the
Village.
John Lindquist, member of the Board of Directors for the Oak Brook Park District and resident
of Oak Brook living at 61 Sheffield Lane, said that McDonald's is a fine neighbor to the Park
District. He gave a glowing testimonial to McDonald's and a history of the Oak Brook Park
District property.
Lawlor thanked the Commission for this opportunity. They realize that this is an ambitious
request seeking the increase in F.A.R. of one million square feet above existing zoning
approvals. This is dispersed over 128 acres of property. The traffic impact of this development
can be managed. They believe that the development will enhance the value of executive
residential homes and bolster the balance of the Oak Brook real estate market. It will stabilize
the tax base of the municipal bodies that levy real estate taxes in order to function and which
now have to deal with tax caps such as school districts and the park district. The additional
employees will also lead to an increase of retail sales and service markets.
Acting Chairman Aktipis thanked McDonald's for the detailed presentation and advised them that
the Commission will not take action at this evenings meeting.
Tappin questioned whether the additional number of people visiting the area and attending
seminars had been accounted for in the study. Roden said that vehicles not people were taken
into account during his study. The forecast included visitor vehicles. General traffic growth in
the area was not included in the study. They are not responsible for handling that growth. This
will be handled by the Village's comprehensive plan study. Pequet questioned the amount of
existing and proposed parking.
Dudek questioned the anticipated time frame for development of the garage on the South Campus
and the increase of cars exiting east onto Oak Brook Road as traffic is backed up through that
area now. Antunovich said that the work will not begin until the road improvements are started
by the County. Only the p.m. peak hour will effect the eastbound Oak Brook Road traffic and
the study has not shown the warranting of a signal at that site.
Hawk questioned what are the priorities, as to what is anticipated to be built first. Kos said that
no sequencing has been set. They are just trying to find out if their home can remain in Oak
Brook.
Aktipis questioned what basic growth factors have been used. Kos said they used what they call
their blood pressure chart. They started and have expanded their satellite industry, McDonald's
express, tollway sites, etc. They are anticipating an expansion of 10,000 units over a 5-year
period. Their domestic growth includes a food service called Hearth Express, which is different
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes January 16, 1995

from the hamburger business. They also have massive international growth and the projections
can far surpass the U.S. company over the next ten years. With all this aggressive growth, they
started at 10 percent because that is where they jumped to several years ago in using their
projected space for Oak Brook. They then started strategic growth by department. No one can
see any less than 6 percent growth of employees. Right now they are using'-absolute numbers
for the way they have grown and the type of space it takes for them to occupy.
Harry Terlecki, Oak Brook resident questioned who will cover the cost of the recommended road
changes. Lawlor said that McDonald's will be required in pursuit of its building and occupancy
permits to make substantial contributions to the DuPage County Impact fee, under the
Countywide Fair Share DuPage County Impact Ordinance, which will be substantial. Beyond
that level, Illinois law provides that where a project is specifically and uniquely the source of
additional traffic it is fair for the developer to pay that cost, so they will be paying a sizable
portion of that cost.
Linda Gonnella, said that she has been the Village Clerk for six years, but spoke as a resident
of Oak Brook. She said that she hopes the recommending bodies study all aspects of this
enormous project. Many communities in the western suburbs would love to have McDonald's
as their home base. Many ancillary businesses exist due to McDonald's presence. If Oak Brook
lost the revenue generated due to McDonald's, it would be devastating to the residents. They
would see a real estate tax that would have to be initiated to operate government facilities. She
requested that the commission study the plan carefully, but move forward with it.
Joe Rush, Oak Brook resident said that there are many penalties that will be felt by the Village
with the requested changes and to sit down and calculate what these changes are going to do.
They start compounding one another, it will be a massive change.
Jeff Moul, said he was the officer in charge of Metropolitan Life, who is the owner of Commerce
Plaza just north of the North Campus and had a few concerns: In the traffic study, issues were
dealt with interchanges but not necessarily the accessibility into and out of the parking garages.
Concerned with the peak times on Spring Road and Commerce and high traffic volume;
Commerce Plaza is only 7-stories; and the impact or relationship proposed by Lohan. Roden
answered that the functionality of garage exits are directly dependent upon the capacity of the
street system onto which they feed. The recommendations proposed will satisfy the capacity
demands of present traffic plus the capacity demands of any and all McDonald's future projects
that may be implemented. In some cases the traffic will be better than present, and in no case
will they be significantly impacted with respect to their level of service. The North Campus Plan
operates at level B-C; The impact of the additional height may permit additional building at
Commerce Plaza; Antunovich said in the comprehensive plan, recommendations increased the
parcels in the ORA-2 to 1.2 F.A.R. with 12-story buildings. This is in line with McDonald's
proposal.
Lawlor advised the commission that McDonald's would be willing, at the Board's leisure, to
reconvene to a special meeting, if appropriate. They need to get 200,000 square feet under roof
by 1997 in order to remain on that critical path. They want to work with the Village to make
that happen.
PLAN COMMISSION Minute January 16, 1995

Aktipis said that two members were missing and they should have the opportunity to review the
material presented this evening. Tappin said that they may want to consider a special meeting
prior to do that.
Member Tappin motioned, seconded by Member Mueller to adjourn the discussion on the
McDonald's issue to the next formal Plan Commission meeting.
VOICE VOTE: All in favor. Motion carried.
IV. REED ELSEVIER/O.A.G. -2000 CLEARWATER DRIVE-TEXT AMENDMENT AND
SPECIAL USE AMENDMENT RE: HELIPORTS
Robert Pugliese, of Lord, Bissell and Brook identified himself as the attorney representing the
petitioner and introduced Jim Dish, Director of New and Programming for ChicagoLand TV.
Pugliese reviewed material and said that CLTV identified the need,on a limited basis, to dispatch
crews to a fast breaking story site and felt the use of the heliport at times would be the best way
to get crews there with cameras. CLTV approached Reed Elsevier of the possibility of sharing
their heliport.
In 1989 O.A.G. came before the Village and the Special Use was approved with conditions that
allowed controls over heliport usage and to make sure there was not a proliferation of heliport
usage within the Village, a problem that never materialized It was imposed on O.A.G. that only
O.A.G. could use the heliport. The general Ordinance also prohibits any sharing of this facility
by CLTV, the neighbor to O.A.G.
This is a common sense approach to allow two adjacent property owners use one facility rather
than to have two facilities built.
1. This new request does not in any way, shape, or form change any physical
characteristics of what exists at these properties. No building permit will be
sought or need to be issued.
2. There is no change in the manner in which the existing facility is used. All of the
conditions that apply pursuant to the original Special Use Ordinance as well as the
general ordinance have been reviewed and accepted by CLTV and they have,
through their application, committed to live with all of those conditions. This is
a very limited use facility by ordinance.
They are not attempting to establish a new Special Use at this facility, one already exists. There
are only 12 operations allowed at this facility per year and no changes are sought regarding those
standards. Hawk said that there are three other heliports in the Village existing at McDonald's,
Waste Management and Chicago Bridge and Iron. Pugliese said that the use will be extremely
limited.

C IV. McDONALD'S CORP. - REZONINGS AND TEXT AMENDMENTS
Jack Lawlor, attorney representing McDonald's, introduced everyone who will be giving testimony on
behalf of McDonald's. All were sworn in by Chairman Davis.
Bonnie Kos, Corporate Representative for McDonald's Corporation, said that they are very proud of the
relationship they have built with the Village. Oak Brook is a first class residential and business
community. The employees and management of McDonald's are extremely proud and feel very
fortunate to have shared and participated in the growth of such a Village. As the Village is looking
forward to it's long range future success and growth, McDonald's finds itself in the same position. Kos
reviewed the history of the office campus from 1976 through today, describing McDonald's dramatic
growth and changes and their need for responsible planning at this time. All the rapid changes have
left them in the position of running out of current buildable space by the year 2000. They hope to
retain a centralized headquarters rather than disperse headquarters around Chicago and around the
country. They have people around the country that they would like to have in Oak Brook. Their goal
is to consolidate operations as much as possible within contiguous parcels in Oak Brook. (Campus
North and South). McDonald's only prudent course of action is to obtain adequate zoning approvals
to support long-term growth while retaining the flexibility to accommodate changes in the market.
They will be describing their Master Plan to be developed over the next twenty years. They have limited
the scope of the zoning requests to levels that can be accommodated by the existing street system as
enhanced by additional turning lanes. The time and sequence of these projects is yet to be determined.
Their goal is to plan for long-term maximum flexibility. She thanked the Village for allowing them to
come forward to present this long-term plan.
Joe Antunovich of Antunovich Associates said that of the 128 acres that McDonald's owns or currently
has under option, the corporation's intent is to apply the same level of detail and design attention to
all those properties as was applied to the 74-acre office campus site. He reviewed McDonald's
objectives and summarized their zoning requests detailing the proposed changes in zoning, analyzing
the increase of the F.A.R., and increase in building height.
Jack Lawlor reviewed the McDonald's application and the requirements they have met for the Board
to recommend approval of the map amendment. To aid the members in his review, he referred to the
McDonald's Intent diagram in the January 16 Exhibit book (petition #10).
The map request is consistent with the existing zoning and uses in the area. The preliminary planning
report issued by Lohan with respect to the Village's comprehensive planning effort has identified the
ORA-2 zone as the business core of Oak Brook. They also recommend that the density in this
business core be increased to 1.2. The ORA-2 zone while not widespread throughout the Village,
is critically located. There are only four property owners in that zone, McDonald's, AT&T, Commerce
Plaza and the Hyatt. This location will have a minimum impact on the surrounding residential
properties. The ORA-2 zone is bound on the west by Oakbrook Center, tollway on the south and ORA-1
zones and tollway on the east. While there are residential R-3 and R-4 properties on the far northern
boundary they are buffered to a considerable extent by the Salt Creek water shed.

The requested increase in height in this area will not have a direct effect on the remainder of this
district. The height request is consistent with existing heights in the vicinity. Immediately to the south
and west is the 0-3 district with an office area that currently contains 11 and 12 story buildings. There
are no height or story limitations in the 0-3 district.
McDonald's is not seeking a map amendment with respect to the Plaza II site. They are seeking a
minor F.A.R. adjustment to increase the permitted density for retail uses from the currently level of .3
to .5. The request is consistent with recommendations made by Lohan in its preliminary report that
mixed retail and office uses be encouraged in the vicinity of the Oakbrook Center. The .5 F.A.R.
happens to be the same F.A.R. permitted in Oak Brook in both the B-1 and B-2 zoning districts.
The Autumn Oaks west property is currently owned by the Oak Brook Park District and is currently
zoned CR and they are seeking to change the classification to ORA-1. McDonald's is not seeking to
increase the permitted F.A.R. in the ORA-1 district. They are seeking to increase the permitted heights
in ORA-1 districts from 35 feet to a maximum of 70 feet. The rezoning of this site is also consistent
with that of the Village planner in its preliminary report which recommends that this site enjoy a higher
density. The normal setback in ORA-1 zones is only 100 feet. However, the text in the Ordinance says
that where ORA-1 property abuts residential is required to have 1.50 side yard. In reviewing the zoning
ordinance there is a confusing provision in Section V (q) that indicates that setbacks for ORA-1
property adjacent to CR district should be 150 feet not the 100-feet setback shown on the plat of
subdivision. The requested text amendment would rectify any appearance of inconsistency. The
100-foot setback is more than adequate to have a pleasing aesthetic result in this area.
Autumn Oaks east property is currently zoned ORA-3 just as the rest of McDonald's campus east of
Jorie. It is currently subject to regulations which are much more rigorous than any other office
classification in the Village. Currently, the F.A.R. is only .14 which translates to only 120,000 square
feet of permitted floor area on a twenty-acre site. In addition, Autumn Oaks is subject to a prohibition
on any structured parking. McDonald's proposes to rezone this site to ORA-1 to be consistent with
existing zoning north of Kensington and to release the prohibition on structured parking. The site is
buffered from the Park District property by the Ginger Creek watershed. The proposed rezoning is
consistent with the uses of adjacent property and will not have a negative impact on it. It will spur the
development of a long vacant site and enhance the tax base of local tax levying governmental bodies.
It is also consistent with the draft planning report generated by the Village consultant.
The South Campus east of Jorie is unique in Oak Brook and is much like a planned development site.
They are requesting the addition of one level on the South Campus building and seeking an increase
of the ground level building coverage from 15 to 24%, primarily to accommodate parking structures.
This request will result in an adjustment from the existing 60-foot limitation to 75 foot limitation on
this portion of the campus. This will not have an adverse impact on the ambiance of the area because
it is separated by such distance from arterial streets and considerable foliage. Although the increase
to 24% may not seem appealing, however, 76% of the site will remain entirely as open space.
There are a variety of restrictions unique to McDonald's in the ORA-3 zone that they are seeking to
release. An existing restriction prohibits McDonald's from leasing space to third party users for a
period of five years after construction is complete. This means that McDonald's cannot lease over 33%
of an occupied area to third parties during that period. This restrictions has made it difficult to proceed
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes February 7, 1995
'� 3
with the construction of a large building that the owner-occupant intends to occupy fully with the
passage of time. McDonald's does not have the intention to become a developer or landlord.
Nonetheless, it would be helpful for McDonald's to have the flexibility to lease space free of this
restriction. This will enable them to either grow into large buildings once the construction is complete
or to downsize, if they have guessed wrong on the rate of employee growth.
The application also requests that the list of permitted accessory uses in the ORA-3 district be
increased with the addition of employee daycare centers, employee restaurants, and owner/occupied
radio and television production studios.
They are seeking to decrease the ORA-3 minimum lot size from 70 acres to 5 acres. There are no
other minimum lot sizes in other office districts in Oak Brook. This essentially means that McDonald's
could not sell or dispose of any portions of the South Campus. They are seeking parity with other
property owners or something more reasonable.
McDonald's will completely comply with the parking requirement ratios or exceed them. Rather than
25%, 20% of the parking will be in enclosed facilities. They would like to amend the ORA-3
documentation to reflect this.
Traffic Consultant, Norm Roden reviewed his firms' recommendations as a result of traffic studies and
analysis of the streets and infrastructure system. Field studies were done on traffic and all are based
on current usage and at the completion of McDonald's phases at both the north and south campus.
This does not include development other than McDonald's or traffic attributable to other developers
within/outside the Village. Levels of service rated from A to D are acceptable. The following
recommendations are made to satisfactorily improve the street system:
1. 22nd and Spring Road is currently rated E - Recommend the addition of a northbound
and southbound through lane. There will be better performance in the future than at
the present time - D.
2. McDonald Drive and 22nd Street - recommend the addition of a westbound right turn
lane.
3. Spring and Commerce - recommend the signal be modified so that two lanes can turn
left at the intersection.
South Campus study:
4. 31 st and Jorie - critical rated E. Recommend the addition of another southbound turn
lane going east on 31st. This should be done when the Oak Brook Road improvements
are made when DuPage County does their road improvements in 96-97. This will also
be done prior to McDonald's construction adding additional traffic to this intersection.
Also, recommend the addition of another southbound turn lane going west onto 31st.
To move the heavy traffic through that area, an additional southbound turn lane onto
Route 83 is needed. This will require a wider ramp.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes February 7, 1995

5. A new intersection is proposed linking a newly aligned Ronald Lane to Oak Brook
Road. This would not initially warrant signalization with the developed 4-lane Oak
Brook Road. '
6. Kroc Drive is recommended that the left turn lane be turned into a dual lane.
7. Ronald Lane and Jorie to be changed from a T-intersection to a cross-street. This site
would warrant signalization and would aid the reduction of traffic onto Jorie Blvd.
These changes will be constructed as McDonald's phases are developed and the changes will result in
a traffic flow system that is as good or better than is on the street today.
Harlan Spiroff, attorney for Oak Brook Park District, acknowledged that part of the Autumn Oak property
is owned by the Park District and is subject to option with McDonald's. The Park District has no
objection to McDonald's proposal or they would not have considered this option. However, the Park
District will remain a neighbor and the Park Board has authorized him to state that the Park District has
no objection to this request and would recommend it to the Village Boards.
John Lindquist, member of the Board of Directors for the Oak Brook Park District for 22 years, and a
resident of Oak Brook living at 61 Sheffield Lane, said that McDonald's is a fine neighbor to the Park
District. He gave a glowing testimonial to McDonald's and a history of the Oak Brook Park District
property.
Chairman Davis asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak for or against the proposal. No
one in the audience responded.
Shah questioned the traffic counts and the impacts additional developments in Oak Brook or Oakbrook
Terrace will have. Roden answered that they cannot forecast what might happen on other parcels in
and out of town that no one may have any controls. Appropriately, McDonald's cannot be assigned
the responsibility for other developments and additional traffic that may be generated by those
developments. They have accounted for additional traffic that they anticipate due to this proposal.
Shah questioned the estimated costs of construction Mike Lach identified himself as the Civil Engineer
for the McDonald's project. He will prepare the numbers for the next meeting.
Dosedlo questioned the water usage and drainage. Hawk said that information should be available from
the Fire Department, Police Department and Public Works prior to the next meeting.
Resident, Robert Lindgren commented that he felt the plan needs to be thoroughly reviewed and should
not be rushed through the hearing process.
Member Shah motioned, seconded by Member Dosedlo to table the public hearing of the McDonald's
petition for the completion of their presentation and discussion to the March 7, 1995 Zoning Board of
Appeals meeting.

II McDONALD'S CORP. - REZONINGS AND TEXT AMENDMENTS
Chairman Savino said this evening, Member Doyle, two members of the Zoning Board of Appeals
and himself met with the McDonald's team to review the proposals and bring them up to date with
the materials presented at the last meeting. Having had this review they will be-able to vote on this
matter.
Chairman Savino asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak in favor of this proposal.
Douglas Slansky, Attorney with Keck, Mahin and Cate, spoke on behalf of his client, Metropolitan
Life the owner of Commerce Plaza, immediately adjacent and north of the North Campus at
Commerce Drive and Spring Road. They had a meeting with McDonald's Corporation and there
is a recognition that the two properties have similarities and will have impacts on their uses as they
develop the area so as not to have a harmful impact on the community. His client has given their
supporting assistance as the planning process goes through because the two properties will impact
each other over time.
Jack Lawlor, attorney representing McDonald's, noted that Park Commissioner, John Lindquist,
appeared on January 16, 1995 to voice the Park District's support and they have contracted to sell
a parcel of land to McDonald's.
Chairman Savino asked if anyone in the audience was opposed to the proposal.
Howard Trier, resident, spoke in opposition to this proposal. He hopes that the Commission is
aware that with this sort of change in zoning and text amendments there are significant possibilities
for the future of Oak Brook. The original plan called for a balance between residential and
commercial use. The Park District is not at an arms length position in relation to this proposal in
light of the purchase of their property. Allowing five story buildings on the Kensington property
will dramatically change the whole esthetic aspect in relation to the park. In future years, other
buildings along the area will be added to or torn down to be built at the increased height.
McDonald's has been a fine commercial neighbor. Contracts are made, and then twenty years later
those contracts are changed. Many things about Oak Brook and its commercial area vs. residential
area, will over a period of some years be dramatically changed. He hopes that the commission
thinks about these things very well and take a long range view of what this situation is.
Mary Thompson, President of Yorkshire Woods Homeowners Association, said that she is not
speaking against the proposal, but rather to express their concern that while the Comprehensive
Plan Update is still in public hearings, it seems to be premature to make such major decisions with
regards to McDonald's which would be precedent setting. They would prefer that a decision on
this matter be postponed until such time as the Village adopts and updates its Comprehensive Plan.
Dr. Ray Dunn, President of Hunter Trails Homeowners Association, said that traffic is always
turning into their intersection because they don't know where the campus is. He is also concerned
about widening the road where Butler used to live, and the impact it will have on their community.
If the Village allows them to change the codes anytime they choose, they are worried about what
the community will look like down the road.

Dr. Sam Reddy, resident of Hunter Trails, said that he really likes McDonald's, they are wonderful
neighbors. His only concern is the traffic pattern. Sometimes he cannot get onto 31st street in
the morning between 7:30 and 8:00.
Beverly Leha, Vice-President of Hunter Trails Homeowners Association read their letter to the Board
(Petition file #15).
Audrey Mueschler, 55 Yorkshire Woods, is concerned with the traffic. Possible solutions to the
problems have been given, but before any decisions are made, the solutions and the cost estimates
should be really firm.
Joe Fullan, President of the Timber Trails/Merry Lane Homeowners Association, spoke in support
of the letter from Mary Thompson and asked the Board to delay any decision on the McDonald's
proposal until after Lohan Associates have had a chance to develop fully and get residents input
into the Comprehensive Plan.
Savino asked Lawlor to respond to some of the concerns the residents expressed.
1. McDonald's timing in relations to the filing of their application was in response to pressure
to grow the headquarters. McDonald's had consumed approximately 300,000 square feet
of space in the previous year, at two locations which are not contiguous to the existing
headquarters property. The company does not want to proceed in this fashion. At that
rate, McDonald's will be out of space by 2000. Their current estimate is that they need to
have a new building under occupancy by 1997 in order to meet known internal demands.
You need to know when doing Master Planning if the overall zoning envelope will be
adequate to accommodate the headquarters in a given municipality. They have been
working closely with the Village with its traffic and planning consultants, ever since they
filed the application. What they have submitted in regards to the Comprehensive Plan is
more conservative than that of the Lohan study. In regards to traffic, they have met their
own internal rigorous analysis of what can be sustained with feasible traffic infrastructure.
They would like to continue on this present course. It may seem like things are moving
rapidly to everyone else, on the other side, it does not seem rapid.
2. In a previous meeting it was asked what McDonald's is likely to build first. The answer to
that question was the 192,000 square foot additional building on the Plaza I site. They
cannot identify what order they will build the buildings. What they did determine to do was
to prepare a menu of recommended infrastructure improvements that correspond to any
one of a variety of buildout options that McDonald's might select in the future. (This chart
was distributed to the members and made a part of the file) Joe Antunovich reviewed each
item on this chart.
3. Norm Roden said that it's one thing to request from the Tollway a new entrance or exist
ramp. The reason commonly given by the Tollway Commission for not doing so is the
possible loss of revenue. They are not seeking nor recommending any change in the
access, but merely to add a lane to the existing ramp. They are proposing to add a lane
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes February 20, 1995

A S•a.
to allow a left turn onto 22nd Street that will help get traffic off the Tollway. He does not
anticipate a difficulty with the Tollway because the costs will be incurred by the
McDonald's-
4. Antunovich said that they have started discussions with the County. The two major road
improvements, the left turn lanes onto Route 83 and the Tollway improvements, are really
just a small part of what they are planning overall.
5. Lawlor said that with respect to the height request at the North Campus, the Lohan study
is telling them that the 275 acres in this area should be viewed as the business core of Oak
Brook in order to maintain Oak Brook's competitive position and importance in the County.
This area is the most remote from the subdivisions. It is consistent with neighboring land
uses. Going from 8 to 12 stories is not out of context. In the current text of the Oak
Brook Zoning Ordinance there are no height restrictions for the 0-3 zone. There are
currently 11-12 story buildings, directly adjacent to the site.
6. Autumn Oaks property is suggesting a height increase up to 70 feet. Antunovich said that
they have made a very large 600 foot setback to the subdivision to the west. The large
park allows a significant amount of landscaping. The infusion of high tech infrastructure
into buildings has necessitated the increased height per story. They are better able to use
the space within the stories.
7. Roden said that McDonald's has discussed the traffic problem at Hunter Trails with Mr.
Kirchner and his wife. McDonald's will work with them to get some signage from the
DuPage County Highway Department, so that fewer people would turn into the entrance
to get directions at the gatehouse. Possibly some signage on Jorie Blvd. showing where
Village facilities are. Another possibility would be to gate the entrance with a pass card
system. Unfortunately they cannot do anything about where the entrance is located.
Hawk read Fire Chief Nielsen's letter (petition file #17). In Police Chief Flemings absence, Hawk
spoke with Lt. Carlson and he felt that something of this size will definitely have an impact on
Police Department personnel and equipment, but is something that takes place over a period of
time and will depend on the increased police response activities in terms of traffic problems and/or
people behavior problems that may impact the police department.
Hawk said they have a response from the Hinsdale Sanitary Sewer (petition file #16). Durfey said
that they do not have an answer on the water infrastructure at this point.
Hawk said that the Village's consultant's have met with McDonald's, but do not have a written
report yet.
Durfey read his memo to the Commission (petition page 13-13a). He said that he received the
requested documentation this evening. The drainage problems will be addressed at the building
permit time. Anything they build must meet the then current regulations at the point of building
permit stage.

Roden said that they met with Metro Transportation, Durfey and Veitch and have identified each
of the issues in their study. Most of the requests in their study have been a need for clarification.
Lawlor said in regards to the Lohan study, everything they have done has been consistent with
or more conservative than their preliminary report.
Savino asked about the area of the parking development in the Autumns Oaks area that is in the
Ginger Creek Flood Plain. Antunovich said that the mapping of the flood plain along the Ginger
Creek area has been undertaken by DuPage County. The maps they use to locate the buildings
are the most recent maps they can obtain from.DuPage County. Michael Lach said that they have
been working very closely with DuPage County. The entire Ginger Creek watershed is undergoing
its fine tuning for its entire remapping according to the new county ordinance and FEMA. The
existing flood maps do show the flood plain. Two ordinances were passed for each of these
properties allowing for the flood plain to be reconstructed and modified. There is a sunset provision
in those ordinances that allows them until February of 1996 to reconstruct and fill in the flood plain
and provide appropriate compensating excavation along the other areas of the floodplain to
accommodate that change. When that is done the buildings and parking garage will no longer be
in the mapped flood plain.
Hawk said that they have based their menu on the impacts as they are today, not 15 years from
now when they may start construction. He asked if McDonald's can propose a way to deal with
impacts at the point of time when construction is actually started.
Lawlor said that they were able to find baseline data for the South Campus, which is a 1989 study
done by Benes and Associates that indicates that the overall growth in ambient traffic in the South
Campus area is negligible over that five year baseline study period. No one can fully anticipate
what the ambient traffic situation will be in the future. There are fears that a neighboring
municipality may do something to increase ambient traffic, etc. McDonald's would prefer to
commit to the Village that they will be responsible for the traffic that they know they are the
specific and unique cause. They cannot refine it beyond that, but the numbers were based on
worse case. State and federal regulatory steps might decrease the commuting patterns by law.
They have committed to what is known by them.
Hawk said they are trying to find out what the solution might be when they don't know what the
problem may be at that time. At the time of construction, the traffic issues should be revisited.
Lawlor said that McDonald's has looked deeply into the complexity of the situation and is here
making a good faith gesture that insofar as the traffic is contributable to McDonald's concern, they
are not looking for taxpayer dollars.
Tappin asked if McDonald's or Metro has reexamined the possibility of Kensington Avenue going
into Route 83. Roden said they have looked into it as a possible alternative. It relieves some
traffic by going directly on to Kensington off Route 83 in the morning and off Kensington onto
Route 83 in the evening. It will not in any appreciable way effect the flow on to the Oak Brook
Road area southbound on Route 83 in the evening. The southbound flow is what is critical.

Savino asked about parking requirements regarding the Clean Air Act. Antunovich said that with
the approval of the federal government, the State of Illinois has been given an additional year to
require employers to do the initial surveys. Based on their being unable to enforce this approach
in Los Angeles where it has been tried most vigorously, the federal government is backing off that
requirement. The State of Illinois has now backed off on its survey. McDonald's.has planned worst
case numbers.
Savino said that McDonald's has reported the new height of a story will have to be fourteen feet.
Comparing stories to stories, how high are the old twelve story buildings and how high are the new
ones? Antunovich responded that the Plaza I site is approximately 130 feet high. When they build
a twelve story building with 14 foot floor to floor, they will be at 168 feet. This will be the highest
point of the building. With the penthouse that currently exists it will be twenty-four foot higher
than exists. The buildings at 22nd and Route 83 are 12'9" floor to floor. The Commerce Plaza
buildings are 7-story buildings. They are approximately 12'8"-12'9" floor to floor. The AT & T
building is 8 stories above grade, but 9 stories actually, because they took advantage of the cellar
provision in Oak Brook and built one level below grade. Their penthouse is almost viewed as an
additional story and its even higher than a typical floor to floor. The Manulife buildings are also
12-story building. Comparatively, the building will be one story taller than what a current 12-story
building would be.
McDonald's is interested in connecting the five buildings at Plaza I and II through underground
tunnels for commuting employees and deliveries between the buildings. Vehicular traffic will be
in the perimeter of the campus and pedestrians will be in the core. This keeps pedestrians and
vehicles from crossing each others paths.
Savino questioned what happens after the next twenty years. Kos answered that one of the
reasons they have developed this Master Plan is to have maximum flexibility so that they could be
flexible. They are not bringing all there entities into the Oak Brook area. In 1970, Ray Kroc said
they will never occupy more than three floors in the plaza building, and then they rented the rest
of the building and bought out all the tenants. They thought the Office Campus would be their 20-
year plan, and it has been. It was difficult then to anticipate twenty years, and today in this multi-
national environment it is very difficult to give an answer. They believe the growth and use of
office space is going to slow due to developing technology.
Savino questioned where else they have looked if Oak Brook cannot accommodate them. Kos said
they have looked at the Cantera property in Warrenville. There are 1060 acres available at that site.
Savino questioned what they would do with this facility? Kos said that they have put no thinking
into it, because their greatest hope is to work it out in Oak Brook. They are proud to be here and
would like to stay.
Savino questioned where the tax benefit would lie. McDonald's does not collect sales tax, extra
fire personnel may be required, how can McDonald's help the Village out? McDonald's employee
base adds to the sales tax base. The may considerable taxes that directly benefit the school
system and the park district. They hope that their presence has overall helped enhance Oak Brook
and adds to the magnetic draw of Oak Brook for investment. These are imponderables, but should
not be overlooked.

Savino said that he believes that McDonald's has been an excellent corporate neighbor. He is
aware that they have donated facilities and time to a lot of community organizations.
Savino asked Hawk to explain page 8a. He said that most ORA-1 properties are developed. They
are not all developed to the .45 F.A.R. While a change in the F.A.R. is not proposed, by allowing
a change in the structure height it may make it more feasible for existing properties to redevelop
to maximize their F.A.R. Most property owners can't take advantage of this because some
buildings are not engineered to be added on to. There is some opportunity for some incremental
increase in ORA-1 floor areas in the Village with the structure height increase.
Doyle expressed concern over the parking garage at the Plaza II development. It basically creates
a wall along Spring Road, that is very different from the open feeling created in other areas of the
Village. He would prefer the Autumn Oak area to be less dense and perhaps increase density in
the Plaza I and II and the South Campus.
Aktipis would like to know the sequence by which the plan will involve. Kos said that the earliest
sequencing would be to begin with Plaza 1A building, Plaza IIA, then the first phase of Autumn
Oaks. That is the foreseeable future as far as they can tell.
Dudek expressed concerns at the North Campus and the traffic that will be heading north on Spring
Road feeding over to 16th Street conflicting with the Oak Brook Tower traffic and the volume of
traffic increased on Harger Road. Roden said they do not see a large measure of trips going to
Harger since it is a converse direction. When the majority of traffic leaves McDonald's they go out
onto 22nd Street. Dudek said he is concerned with the impacts of the Lohan plan and has some
fairly major concerns for the north Oak Brook residential areas. Lawlor pointed out that
McDonald's is not seeking a density increase in the ORA-1 zone.
Mueller questioned that if the zoning is not approved in the Autumn Oaks area, will the sale of the
property still take place, or is the purchase contingent on getting the zoning? Lawlor said it is
contingent upon the zoning.
Pequet questioned the separation between Route 83 and the west side of complex and the height
of the parking structure. Antunovich said that there is an 800 foot separation and the garage will
be no higher than the 35 foot height limitation that currently exists in ORA-1 property. Concerned
about possible conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan and the South Campus traffic issue. Roden
said that when Oak Brook Road becomes four lanes, the volume will still be there. However, when
the same amount of traffic that's now in one lane goes into two, you don't get half, you get one
third of the original traffic, because it spreads out and can flow much more readily. The Village _
can enter into discussions with DuPage County to incorporate design features into the road to
enforce restrictions.
Tappin said he does not have a problem with the height of the buildings in the North Campus. The
height of the buildings on the South Campus, with the separation distance, should not be worse
than what some other residential communities now look out on with the business area of Oak
Brook. He does not want to see any conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and what
McDonald's is requesting.
PLAN COMMISSION Minutes February 20, 1995

Lawlor said that as far as the Lohan Plan is concerned, McDonald's request is more conservative.
McDonald's is not looking for an ORA-1 density increase which would be the greatest single impact
on the municipality as a whole. The application has been confined to the two least most prevalent
commercial zoning districts in Oak Brook in dealing with density changes.
McDonald's currently pending application will be less aggressive than some of the
recommendations from Oak Brook's consultant.
Martens said the Comprehensive Plan is a guide. It is merely a suggestion or a guide that does
not demand that you follow it, however, it is something you need to give consideration to. There
is a Comprehensive Plan in place today, and that is the one that we have to be working off of.
With our consultant looking specifically at the business aspects of Oak Brook, we also have to be
sensitive to that. We have may have the best of both worlds with the Plan being reviewed and the
timing of hearing the petition of a large commercial resident.
Savino said that he feels we are being rushed through this process. The first twenty year plan was
very detailed, this plan is not. Lawlor said that the initial Comprehensive Plan for McDonald's dealt
largely with the South Campus which is the most tightly regulated commercial district in Oak
Brook. This is an exhaustive multi-parcel presentation, and they are dealing with different types
of zoning districts. They hope that one point is not lost on the Village, and that is, if there is any
corporate citizen in Oak Brook that has created a pleasing esthetic result, it's McDonald's. They
hope that over the past twenty years the Village has developed insights as to what the best
evidence is. The South Campus is park like and will continue to be preserved based on what has
been presented to the Commission. They also consider their record with respect to the portions
of the application that are in straight zones. The Ordinance does not have as high a degree of
regulations with those parcels as with the South Campus. They are more highly regulated than any
other business in the Village when it comes to land use affairs. They hope the record they have
established will make the Village feel comfortable that a degree of trust might be appropriate.
Savino said that he did not disagree with any of what Lawlor said. They are waiting for reports
from Metro and Lohan Associates and do not feel comfortable making a recommendation without
it. The members all agreed that they are very concerned over the traffic issues and want to wait
until they have the opportunity to review those reports.
Savino said that it may be possible to schedule a special meeting, if they have the opportunity to
review the consultant reports. He would like to know the landscaping planned in the Autumn Oaks
area, and a perspective on the 12-story office building on 22nd Street at the next meeting.
Member Tappin motioned, seconded by Member Mueller to adjourn the discussion on the
McDonald's issue to reconvene at the next regular Plan Commission meeting.

library reference books required by our students attending Hinsdale Central
High School. These books are not available for loan by our students at other
libraries, but only available for view at those libraries.
Personnel and Public Safety: Trustee Kenny - On January 21, 1995, our Fire
Department assisted Lombard in a condominium fire on Finley Road; on
January 27, 1995, assisted Westmont in an extra alarm house fire and on
February 6, 1995, assisted Westmont in a medical transport of victims to area
hospitals. On February 13, 1995, a house fire in Timber Trails with extensive
damage occurred. Eight area communities assisted in the response.
Planning and Zoning: Trustee Shumate - President Bushy noted the
_onald's application for zoning change is being reviewed by our
recommending oar s. The Institute in Basic Life Principals (IBLP), through
their attorney, has made a formal statement requesting to come before the
Zoning Board of Appeals in October, 1995 with their proposal. Chairman
Champ Davis stated IBLP must present a proposal at that time, as there will
be no continuances granted.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 8 February 14, 1995
Public Works and Cable T.V.: Trustee Calzaretta - No report given.
Village Clerk: Clerk Gonnella - The filing date of candidates for elected
officials for the April 4, 1995 Consolidated Election has been finalized. The
official ballot has been sent to Cook County Clerk David Orr and the DuPage
County Election Commission. The Village's deputy registrars have all been
sworn in for a two-year term.
As a member of the Legislative Committee of the Municipal Clerks of Illinois,
this organization, along with the Illinois Municipal League and the DuPage
Mayors and Managers Conference, worked toward defeating two House bills
addressing the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act. House Bill 190 decreased
response time from seven (7) to five (5) days for a FOI request. House Bill
409 required public bodies to tape record or make verbatim records of closed
meetings. The Village's Records Management Clerk is responsible for all FOI
requests and maintains Village records. It is necessary for the Illinois Press
Association to be aware of the time constraints placed on communities for their
requirement of a shorter request time. Our Village Attorney is available only
two days a week. FOI requests must be reviewed by the Village Attorney and
to research documents takes considerable time.
Another bill has been introduced by Representative Black, HB 828, again
addressing a shorter period of response time for a FOI request. The Municipal
Clerks of Illinois, the Illinois Municipal League and the DuPage Mayors and
Managers Conference will work toward defeat of this Bill also. It is hoped that
a compromise may be found on this issue.
Village President: President Bushy - Village Manager Veitch and President
Bushy attended a meeting with area realtors to organize an Oak Brook Day for
realty companies in an effort to assist our residents in selling their homes.
Village information will be given to them.
The Village Board Committee-of-the-Whole meeting of February 13, 1995 had
a brief presentation of the Village's Emergency Management Plan and the
DuPage County On-Site Assistance Program. President Bushy attended
school on Emergency Operating Center management. This will help our
Village be prepared for a disaster. An important task of an elected official is to
see to the health, welfare and safety of our residents when a disaster occurs.
As a member of the Legislative Executive and Intergovernmental Relations
Committees, they are assisting Senator Jim Durkin and Representative Walsh
in their new positions, and to be aware of the needs of Oak Brook.
The Sports Core Tennis Dome's court time was completely sold out last
Sunday. The Dome should show a good cash flow this year.
Trustee Shumate apologized for his lateness, as he had been touring Fire Station
One to familiarize himself with the feasibility of the proposed renovation/new facility
site. He attende0-both the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission meetings
regarding the.VcDonald's presentation, and some modifications were presented since
their original presentation.

hairman Savino said that Member Doyle, two members of the Zoning Board of Appeals,. and he
met with McDonald's team to review the proposals and bring them up to date with the materials
presented at the last meeting. This review enables them to vote on this matter.
Jack Lawlor, the Attorney representing McDonald's, expressed their appreciation for the time and
effort that everyone from the Village has put into this application. They have begun digesting the
Village's consultant's reports, and assured the Commission that McDonald's does not intend to
seek a vote this evening, or do they intend to try to rush the process. They want to work with staff
to resolve all matters with a win/win situation for the Village and McDonald's. Lawlor requested
that the hearing be reconvened to a meeting date in mid to late April after the technical data has _
been presented by the Village planning and traffic consultants. Although time remains of the
essence for McDonald's, they want the process to be handled orderly with the Village. McDonald's
has observed that people have begun to attend these meetings. Later, they are hoping to hold a
supplemental briefing for members of citizens' groups in the community.

Savino asked Lawlor how he intends to communicate with the residents. They are going to work
through their publicity department and communicate directly with the subdivisions, associations,
etc.
Savino said that a question has been raised about a possible conflict of interest between Lohan
working with the Village and working with McDonald's. A representative of Lohan Associates will
explain.
Joe Caprilli, of Lohan Associates stated for the record that they are not working for McDonald's
at this time on any planning or architectural assignments. There may have been a
misunderstanding at a Saturday forum about Lohan doing some restaurant work for McDonald's.
There is a separate corporation in Berlin, Germany called Lohan GMBH. Lohan GMBH is.doing
three restaurant renovations in Berlin for McDonald's of Germany. Lohan Associates in Chicago
is doing no work for McDonald's. They were the planners for McDonald's campus. They designed
all the buildings on the campus, but they have also designed over one million square feet of office
space in Oak Brook. Ace Hardware, Waste Management, and Ameritech are just a few of their
clients. A conflict of interest does not exist. However, they have a wealth of planning and zoning
matter experience for corporations and campuses in this region.
Savino said that the Village has requested Lohan to look at McDonald's proposal as compared to
the draft of the Comprehensive Plan and advise the Commission what conflicts might exist. They
have also asked Metro Transportation to review McDonald's traffic report and see what conflicts
might be there.
Terry Wendt, Vice President of Planning for Lohan Associates, said they are in the process of
recommending an update to the Comprehensive Plan for Oak Brook. This new vision for Oak Brook
intends to create a 21 st century business district in the western suburbs. It is their intent to create
a competitive edge for Oak Brook. Attracting the best "A" class tenants and corporations in the
region is part of this plan. Older concepts for planning tended to create isolated parcels that did
not have a relationship to each other. They believe there should be strong mixed use and linkages
among different parcels so that the area itself has a synergy and competitive edge over other types
of office campuses. They reviewed McDonald's application for traffic impacts and looked at
concepts for each parcel to identify whether they think the requests are reasonable or in concert
with sound planning for the next 30-40-50 years.
Quite a bit of research has been done to determine what types of projects in the region are
attracting "A" class tenants. These projects generally have F.A.R. densities almost exclusively over
1.0 and have building heights that are generally taller than the current Village limits. McDonald's
requests for height and density modifications are consistent with evolving concepts. Various
communities in the region have attracted class "A" tenants using these concepts. Lohan's report
issued on March 2, 1995, itemizes their request in detailed responses.
Dave Miller, President of Metro Transportation Group, said capacity analysis is the term used to
measure the operating efficiency from an intersection. it goes from Level of service A-F. The
standard design level of service in the Chicago area is level of service D. Level D is accepted by
IDOT, DuPage County and the majority of municipalities within the area. Metro reviewed the two
traffic reports prepared for the north and south McDonald's areas by N. C. Roden. Metro concurs
SPECIAL PLAN COMMISSION Minutes March 6, 1995
with the recommendations and methodology done for both studies. However, they did question
whether these intersections work with the recommended improvements? In a general sense, the
answer to that question is yes. They can work given the estimated amount traffic.
Streets such and 22nd and 31st are going to have growth in traffic beyond what McDonald's would
be doing. In order for them to do the analysis, the procedure done by Roden was good. To get
the overall impact of what might occur 10-20 years down the road, besides McDonald's project,
there is a need to look at the cumulative impact of increases in ambient traffic. This includes other
development that may occur in the area. It would not mean that McDonald's would be responsible
for the additional traffic beyond their growth. All of the intersections will operate, with the
proposed improvements, at a level of service D or better, which is the design.
Savino questioned whether there are any big conflicts with what Metro has reviewed and what
McDonald's has proposed in terms of intersections, parking, etc. In their analysis, the toughest
stretch of roadway that will be a challenge is the section of 22nd Street from the Tollway
underpass to Spring. Although he believes it can be worked out, it needs to be looked at in more
detail to make sure all turn maneuvers can be accommodated.
Tappin said that he did not know if the Village can approve something that McDonald's has brought
in and make that approval contingent on all things falling together at the right time. Miller said the
analysis was not necessarily dependent on what McDonald's has proposed on all these
improvements. The analysis was done to key in on critical intersections. The entire system has
to work.
The section of 31st Street between Route 83 and Jorie is a section of road that needs special
attention to make sure it can accommodate the volume. It will be analyzed in more detail.
Dudek questioned the traffic flow on Spring Road north out of McDonald's. It does not seem to
address the north traffic patterns on 16th Street and the potential for an increase on Harger and
Route 83. There will be a definite increase on Route 83 and 16th Street. Miller agreed, but said
that an analysis that far away from the intersection has not been done. It is a situation where there
is an incredible amount of through traffic on Route 83 compounded by the southbound left turn
in the morning to go east on 16th. In the evening, the same is true by making a right turn to go
north onto Route 83.
The reason D becomes the design standard in major metropolitan areas like Chicago, is because
the amount and cost of improvements to go from a D to a C, especially in intersections that carry
a substantial volume, is not cost effective in most cases. In many intersections, the improvements
that would be needed just to go up one level of service can be astronomical. . There is a cost _
benefit ratio, which is the reason DuPage County, IDOT, and others have accepted level of service
D.
Dudek said if we are reviewing a comprehensive plan that is going to take the Village into the 21st
Century, are we doing the right thing in designing to a level of service of D or E? Miller said that
many intersections are currently at a level of service D, and they are maintaining that. If the
intersection is at that level of service, it is because of many other developments, through traffic,
and other factors over many years. Is one individual developer or organization responsible for
SPECIAL PLAN COMMISSION Minutes March 6, 1995
W 3 ar?olr�
trying to essentially improve what has been going on in for over many years? These are things
that need to be addressed right now. There is a need to study the real impact of non-McDonald's
growth. After that has been done, then decide what should be done to maintain existing levels of
service and what needs to be done to accommodate their incremental traffic.
Dave Miller said the levels of service need to be put in proper perspective. Mostly, the current
level of service is being maintained or is slightly improved.

Wendt said they were also asked to evaluate how McDonald's properties can be incorporated into
the Comprehensive Plan update. This includes expanding the existing pedestrian/bicycle path
network. Two linkages need to be included:
1. The extension of Kensington Court south to the Lagoons on Ginger Creek so that
the office workers can have a convenient and pleasant walk down to the lagoons.
2. Along the north edge of McDonald's property, a permanent pedestrian/bicycle
connection that would link the east and west sides of the Village together. This
would also link the central park amenities and the sports Core amenities together
through a secure and permanent pedestrian connection.
The ORA-3 zone requires a minimum 50% open space to be maintained within that campus. Lohan
calculated that McDonald's proposal maintains at least 66% open space. This is a considerable
excess of the minimum, so it is very favorable.
Savino asked Wendt to go over the specifics of their findings.
• McDonald's is proposing a structure height of 70 feet, Lohan's research has determined
that Oak Brook's existing height restriction of 35 feet is antiquated. Modern buildings
require computer and electronics equipment to be placed between the ceiling of one floor
and the floor of the next. To insist on a 12-foot floor to floor height or less is inappropriate.
SPECIAL PLAN COMMISSION Minutes / March 6, 1995
T' " 4
Some buildings in Oak Brook are actually sunk into the ground to meet that requirement.
They believe the requirement could be much more flexible. Five stories are not
unreasonable in terms of general concepts and should be allowed. They do not believe it
will be a problem in terms of visibility from surrounding residential areas.
• They are also seeking a 100-foot setback from a CR District. They do not know why a 100-
foot setback would be necessary. It would be better to move the buildings closer to the
open space to get the other kinds of things, like parking lots, internal to the site. The site
plan would be more attractive from surrounding streets and the CR District by allowing
them to move their buildings closer to the open space. This would keep more of the
parking out of view by placing it in the center of the site.
• As for future traffic concerns, they are recommending that the Village obtain an easement
along the entire western boundary of the Autumn Oaks property. This will allow a future
ramp connection to Route 83. Also, construction of a right turn lane from Route 83 to
Kensington may be feasible.
• Changing the zoning from ORA-3 to ORA-1 for Autumn Oaks East property is consistent
with the fact that ORA-1 is found all around this property to the north.
• The pedestrian linkage is important to the Village.
• Lohan believes the small details that they are seeking on the South Campus will enhance
the traffic situation. The request to transfer 25,000 square feet from research and
development to hotel use is a benefit because hotel facilities do not have the problematic
peak hour traffic that office space does. They are seeking 75-foot building height approval.
This is one-story over the approved height. Given that the trees are grown, and the angle
of vision, Lohan does not see this as a problem. It also means that there will be less
building footprint on the ground and that means more open space. The increase in F.A.R.
from .36 to .44 is a low office ratio for a development of this type. It is quite remarkable
that a large campus can accomplish this on property in such a build up area such as Oak
Brook. There are very strict design guidelines that should be carried with the land. It
would remain in effect should there ever be a change in ownership or if some of it were
parceled off. The Village is still in control of the requirements, so they do not see a
problem.
Wendt said that McDonald's should be commended for doing a plan that has structured parking.
This plan preserves the campus and maintains 66% open space.
Tappin questioned Wendt's recommendation of establishing a special service area to help finance
the infrastructure improvements over the next thirty years. Wendt said they will recommend a
means of financing improvements that will place the burden of costs on those who will benefit
from them. The most likely way that it could be done is with a special service area. Impact fees
or other taxation is possible. This will be subject to further review by the Village.

Savino said that another special meeting will be scheduled to continue McDonald's hearing. All
further meetings for McDonald's are to be handled as a special meeting so that the Commission
can devote their full attention to this matter. The next date will be forthcoming, but will be
sometime in mid to late April.
Shumate shared his thoughts and concerns regarding the following: cars are the life blood for the
shoppers at Oakbrook Center, the road system, and locations regarding a mass transit system.

III. McDONALD'S CORP. - REZONINGS AND TEXT AMENDMENTS
Bonnie Kos asked and the Commission allowed McDonald's to respond to the questions they were
specifically asked them to focus on, rather than to review the entire application. They will review the
architectural recommendations and site plan changes. They will explain the infrastructure
improvements, and the supplemental F.A.R. requests as they relate to Route 83 and Kensington Road,
the northwest corner of Jorie and Oak Brook Road, and the lane at McDonald's Plaza and 22nd Street.
They will also explain the supplemental text amendment for the mechanical elevator housing with
respect to the permitted heights from fifteen to 22 feet.
Joe Antunovich summarized the comments of the Commission by bringing models to illustrate the
planning process involving matter of mass, setbacks, building height,overall building area, and parking.
The members and audience gathered around as Antunovich reviewed each model.
SPECIAL PLAN COMMISSION Minutes April 19, 1995

Savino asked the members which plan of the North Office Campus they preferred. The members
unanimously agreed with the plan labeled "Scheme D" dated April 19, 1995. "Scheme D' adjusts the
setbacks and reduces the parking area requested. Members discussed the parking needs and
landscaping.
After the review, an illustrated revised site plan for Autumn Oaks East and West was given to the
members. This revised plan turns the buildings to the side to allow more green space and landscaping
in the center of the buildings to allow more open space to be seen from the Park District property.
Lawlor said that McDonald's employees headquarter growth is continuing and there is a need to
construct the 200,000 square foot Plaza I-A building and have it ready for occupancy in late 1997 or
1998. Some design is already underway, with respect to the garage and building itself.
The Zoning Ordinance permits fifteen feet of mechanical equipment height. In trying to design a
building that would permit elevator access to the rooftop they found they were seven feet short. It
eases the ability to get equipment and material to the rooftop without resorting to scaffolding or rooftop
hatches that increase personal injury. It also always easier access for emergency personnel should that
ever be the case. This has been reviewed with Hawk and Fire Chief Nielsen and his letter of support
is in the file as page number 37. Hawk said the elevator access to the penthouse level reduces the
need to use helicopters to place equipment on the roof.
Norm Roden said that they have reviewed supplemental data with the Village Consultants to understand
the methodology used. The building scheme changes presented this evening do not materially affect
the traffic distribution as determined by the traffic studies. Moving the position of the building or the
layout will not alter the overall pattern of traffic or change the traffic count.
The traffic growth from possible additional office development other than McDonald's was reviewed,
and although there would be more traffic due to the development, there was no order of magnitude
changes in what was required on the street system to accommodate that traffic. The Village request to
study the ambient/background traffic growth was analyzed and determined from data obtained from
Metro Engineering, the James Benes study, and IDOT's forecast for future traffic at 22nd and York.
Traffic grew in the early 80's at about 2% per year. The Benes data (which is specifically for Jorie
Blvd.) showed an increase of 1% per year. The state prepared a 20-year forecast to the year 2017
using a factor of 1.1% per year. They analyzed these factors into their consideration and summarized
the original infrastructure menu, reviewed by the Village and Metro Engineering. These figures were
given to Bollinger & Lach. Mike Lach said that to date they have not discovered any potential
unsurmountable issues that might prevent these improvements from occurring. They will continue to
fine tune the plans, work with Village staff, Metro Engineering, and all other agencies as McDonald's
development plans continue to progress.
Dudek said that he questioned the traffic flow on Spring Road and Harger and at 16th and Route 83.
Roden said that McDonald traffic shows approximately 25% of the traffic goes from the north campus
and turns at the intersection of Commerce and Spring and then goes north. That traffic disburses and
they do not have the precise percentages of that. It goes north to Spring and to Roosevelt Road and
16th to Route 83. There is a reduction of overall impact. There is a limit as to how far out you can
go from a development to determine how far the traffic is going. Harger is not a logical path for
employees to take when leaving the building. They would have to go have to go to the west then to
the north then to go back to the east. The traffic from Commerce Plaza is more likely to leave the lot
and go directly east.
SPECIAL PLAN COMMISSION Minutes April 19, 1995

Tappin questioned the possible change in traffic ratings with the added ambient traffic impact. Roden
said in some cases it may. The overall impact is anticipated at a 13% increase. However, this is more
of an overall impact that should be dealt with at the comprehensive level, as McDonald's has addressed
the impact of their traffic.
Dave Miller said that they reviewed the movements on 22nd and Spring and the update showed that
the volume count was less from a capacity standpoint. They believe all of the improvements can be
solved. In all cases there is a solution to all of the intersections and improvements.
Savino questioned whether there were any great differences between Metro and Roden's findings?
Miller said there were not. They reviewed the methodology, they had questions, the information was
provided and reviewed. They have gotten through several of the initial concerns raised. Savino said
that based on Miller's report that the issues can be solved and remarked that whatever government
entity has authority over the roads, it is that entity that has responsibility to ensure that those roads
flow properly; and Miller agreed. Durfey had nothing to add to these issues.
Lawlor explained the two text amendments with respect to infrastructure mitigation in the event of road
widening. In respect to the Autumn Oaks site, they are preserving much open space adjacent to Route
83. The area has been planned for potential on and off ramps. The impact on McDonald's would be
devastating without an adjustment to the text of the Ordinance in regards to F.A.R. If IDOT would
require a fee interest in the land to build an off ramp. A few acres could be removed from the land
area and the impact on McDonald's permissible building area would be severe. There are obvious
economic problems and most roadways' jurisdictional authorities do require fees for whatever widening
or infrastructure. They no longer take easements any longer and has been a federal requirement for
about thirty years. They are offering a text amendment that should the need to widen be necessary and
the property needed for that purpose the ground area conveyed, would be excluded from the resulting
mathematics of the F.A.R.
The other text amendment addresses minimum required yards and setbacks. The text amendment
would allow the measured yard and setbacks to stay as it was prior to the taking of land. It protects
the property owner if roadway enhancement programs are developed.
Bonnie Kos concluded by saying that McDonald's believes they have addressed all the concerns raised
by the Village and said she knows the Board is aware of their timing issues. She thanked the
Commission for all the time they have taken.
Rob Lee, Superintendent of School District 53 said that speaking for the Board of Education they
support McDonald's and hope the issues will be resolved with the Village. He also referred to the letter
of support in the file (see page 36).
These are the findings, opinions and recommendations of the Oak Brook Plan Commission on zoning
applications filed by McDonald's Corporation on or about December 15, 1994 and March 15, 1995.
Savino said that they will address each requested item and vote separately on each.
Public meetings respecting McDonald's applications were duly held on January 16, March 6, and
April 19, 1995 at which time both the applicants and interested parties and residents were heard. The
findings, opinions and recommendations were based upon the evidence presented at said public
hearings and the Plan Commission's considerations of pertinent zoning standards and principles.

Autumn Oaks and Plaza I and II. They reviewed the additional text amendment to allow the changes
on the mechanical housing. Roden covered the inquiries of traffic and intersection geometrics that the
Village requested. McDonald's agreed to pursue aggressively with the Village meetings with IDOT and
the Tollway Authority. Lawlor reviewed the two text amendments on F.A.R. and yard calculations. The
Park District and School Board testified to their support of McDonald's petitions.
Bonnie Kos told the members that McDonald's had sponsored a community briefing to advise the
public that they are not going go from 2,400 employees to 10,000 by 1998. The public had the
misconception that they would be fully developed at that time. By 1998 they would like to have Plaza
1A building which is 192,000 square feet and will house approximately 800 to 1,000 people. They have
a timing sequence problem because the parking structure to support the Plaza building must be started
by September of 1995 in order to have the building finished by 1998.
Antunovich reviewed the revised drawing of the Plaza I and II properties depicting what was approved
by the Plan Commission. They have removed one entire level of parking, or in excess of 300 cars.
They are planning this development on 1 car for every 250 square feet. Lawlor said that in respect to
the Plaza I site they are seeking a map amendment that would rezone the entirety of the site to ORA-2
because they have a zoning district boundary line right through the middle of the property. They are
also seeking a text amendment to increase permitted F.A.R. from .8 to 1.2 (which is the
recommendation of the Lohan consultant) and increase in ORA-2 height from 8 stories to 12 stories.
The design features of these proposed changes allows the architects to create a greater sense of open
space. Antunovich said that they are seeking permission to extend elevators up to the penthouse levels
of these buildings to lift heavy equipment to the roof. The Plaza I level would require an additional 22
feet in height. Hawk said that the information was reviewed and it was determined that 325 feet would
more than satisfy the geometrics and gives some room for building configurations that may be different
in size.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes May 2, 1995
Antunovich reviewed the changes made on the Autumn Oaks site that changes the buildings to face
Kensington and opens up the Park District view. They are heavily landscaped and the four level parking
structures on either side are no higher than the current height limit for ORA-1 (35 feet). They are
seeking building height increase of these buildings to be 5 stories or approximately 76 feet with a
penthouse on top. The zoning request is consistent with ORA-1 zoning. Lawlor said the Autumn Oaks
West site seeks the rezoning from CR to ORA-1. There is a clarification text amendment that tries to
verify that a 100-foot setback along the perimeter Of the roadway system is adequate for the site.
Antunovich said they are also seeking to build a parking structure on the existing parking lot that sits
between Hamburger University and the Lodge. This would be a 4-story building approximately 35 feet
high and developed in the same character of the other buildings. Lawlor said that the increase of the
F.A.R. from .36 to .44, and is less than the .45 recommended by Lohan. They have applied to have
day care centers, restaurants, radio and television production studios are special uses in ORA-3, they
have applied to have them included as permitted uses. The other text amendment is seeking a slight
expansion in the restriction on third party occupancy. The Plan Commission reached a compromise
to allow McDonald's more leeway to fill the building to bring suppliers and consultants into the Village.
The only text amendment rejected by the Plan Commission was to decrease the minimum lot acreage.
Hawk said that the height restriction was to apply to only the headquarters building. Hawk discussed
the matter with Chairman Savino and the recommendation was to allow the one additional story to
increase the structure height from 60 feet to 75 feet. Antunovich said they are also seeking to build
one additional level on the room wing on the Lodge. Lawlor said they are willing to stipulate that the
height increase is only intended for the Lodge and Campus Office Building.
Lawlor said the two other text amendments involve condemnation of property for the taking of land.
The mathematical impact on the F.A.R. would be devastating to McDonald's because they would need
a couple of acres of land. They have proposed a condemnation mitigation text amendment that the
resulting impact on the F.A.R. calculation would be mitigated. Another text amendment is a protection
for the calculation of setbacks and/or required yards where property has been taken or conveyed for
public roadway purposes. The Plan Commission suggested that site plan approval by the Village Board
would protect McDonald's interest. The impact on McDonald's would be devastating without the benefit
of a text amendment.
Roden reviewed the questions raised regarding methodology and conclusions and since that time, they
have worked with Village staff and the Village traffic consultant, Dave Miller of Metro Transportation,
and have been resolving supplemental information. The changes in the plans for the buildings do not
have any substantial impact on the traffic analysis previously made. The buildings are the same. The
only changes are the location. They also reviewed ambient traffic and have determined that the annual
growth rate of background traffic is going to be on the order of 1%. The 1% would include the
potential increase of some of the other properties. He said that while there are some minor things to
be looked at, but there are no unsolvable problems with respect to traffic. Michael Lach reviewed the
geometry as it relates to the traffic report and investigated the water supply impacts of McDonald's
overall plan and have met with Mike Meranda who, indicated by memo that the development will not
pose any additional demands on the water system. Hinsdale Sanitary District responded that there is
adequate capacity to serve all of the proposed development.

Member Dosedlo, seconded by Member Shah, to recommend for approval to amend Section V(F) of
the Oak Brook Zoning Ordinance to state in some technical text language or other alternate mechanism
to accomplish McDonald's need in regards to the impacts of public dedication of land on the
calculations of minimum yards, setbacks, and F.A.R.

Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carded. .
NOTE*: For items 14 and 15 above, the Zoning Boards of Appeals members are comfortable
with the principle however, they perceive problems where the dedication is of such a
size that the property is left undevelopable. The petitioner and Village staff are to
develop improved text language or other mechanism to accomplish this.
This concludes the McDonald's public hearing.

B. RECOMMENDATION - MC DONALD'S CORPORATION (2111 MC McDONAL.D'c
DONALD'S DRIVE) REZONING. MAP AND TEXT AMENDMENTS: CORP.—REZO"'
IMAP & TEXT
The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals completed their AMENDMENTS
review of McDonald's proposals and based on their hearings, the following
issues require further review:
1. Traffic Issues: Development of effective traffic management planning
to mitigate the effects of increased traffic due to McDonald's growth is
necessary. Agreements between the Village and McDonald's which
provide both parties with adequate levels of comfort regarding needed
road improvements, initiating their construction, and funding sources
need to be developed.
2. Structure Height: Increase structure height in the ORA-3 district.
Improved language is needed. The proposed increase to 75 feet is
too broad in light of the actual needs described. The petitioner has
agreed to work with staff to develop such improved text language.
3. Plaza and Autumn Oaks Site Plans: Mechanisms to control site
planning at the Plaza and Autumn Oaks sites need to be developed.
4. The concept of increased third party users permitted has been
recommended. However, improved text language is needed.
5. The concept of mitigating the effects of roadway taking on building
setbacks and floor areas permitted has been recommended.
However, for taking which constitute large portions of a property, such
relief may not be appropriate. Further work is needed on the
mechanisms for allowing such relief.
Trustee Shumate read in its entirety the Petition Elements for the
McDonald's 20-year Master Plan, noting the exception of items not
recommended by the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals.
Motion by Trustee Shumate, seconded by Trustee Payovich, that due to
the following unresolved issues, the McDonald's Corporation proposals be
referred to staff and the petitioner for development of improved text
language, ordinance documents, and agreements for presentation at the
Regular meeting of June 27, 1995:

The Plan Commission, by a vote of 6 to-0, and the Zoning Board of
Appeals, by a vote of 6 to 0, have recommended approval of the

The consensus of both bodies was that the Conservation/Recreation
District (CR) was the appropriate zoning classification for the property and
that it was consistent with the factors pertaining to map amendments
contained within the Plan Commission Rules of Procedure and with the —
other CR-zoned properties. Both bodies included similar sets of
conditions which should be included as follows:
1. Formal approval of the rezoning request by the Forest Preserve
Commission - this has since been confirmed.
2. The Forest Preserve District will work with the Village to construct
pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect with the Village's system at 35th

E. STATUS REPORT - MC DONALD'S CORPORATION: riC DONALD'S
CORPORATION
Village Manager Veitch explained that staff and McDonald's personnel
have been working to formulate the documents as recommended by the
Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals. The Village Board
reviewed these recommendations at their May 23, 1995 meeting. These
documents will be formalized for Vllage Board review at the July 25, 1995
meeting.
Village Attorney Martens gave a brief description of the ordinances that
would be forthcoming. An enabling ordinance would be introduced that
would allow the Village to require an applicant, who wished additional
Floor Area Ratio or height in ORA-1 and ORA-2, to seek a review of the
traffic infrastructure requirements before a building permit is issued. This
would allow the Village the opportunity to study the plan and determine
what additional traffic impact the proposed plan would have on the Village.
If the determination was that additional traffic infrastructure is required,
then ordinances will address this with a traffic infrastructure agreement.
McDonald's would require these ordinances for their developments of the
Plaza Buildings on the North Campus,Autumn Oaks and the ORA-3
South Campus. A separate traffic infrastructure agreement is required for
each of these developments.
President Bushy noted the amount of time and cooperation McDonald's
has given in presenting their proposal to the Village of Oak Brook and
their sensitivity to the comments of the Village and its residents.

The ordinance amends certain provisions of the ORA-3 District. These ORA-3 DISTRIC-
recommendations were approved by the Plan Commission and Zoning OF ZON. ORD.
Board with the exception of the proposed revision found in Section 5 of
the ordinance. McDonald's had requested that the lot area be reduced
from the existing 70 acres down to 5 acres. The hearing bodies rejected
this request. McDonald's has revised its request to 25 acres to allow
some flexibility in terms of "off balance sheet" financing of their facilities.
McDonald's representative, Bonnie Kos, addressed their wish to reduce
the lot size from the existing 70 acres down to lots not less than 24
acres. This request would allow some flexibility in terms of "off balance
sheet" financing of their facilities.
Trustee Savino pointed out that the Plan Commission preferred the 70
acres to remain so that the South Campus property would not be sub-
divide.
