Durfey, Jr., P.E.,Village Enginee;r� SUBJECT: 1400 Kensington Road—Variation—ORA-1 District Phil and I have reviewed the re-submittal received on December 6, 2007. It appears that the four outstanding comments from our last memo of November 26, 2007 have been addressed. There are no major engineering issues that need to be addressed with the variation request. Please note that additional items may come up during the detailed permit review process. If any submitted drawings are used as exhibits to ordinances, a note should be added within the ordinance to the effect that: Notwithstanding the attached exhibits, the applicant shall meet all Village Ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application except as specifically varied or waived. This would prevent an applicant from forcing the Village to issue a permit based on sub-standard items that may be depicted on the drawings (these types of drawings are usually conceptual in nature and do not contain the detail necessary for a full review regarding building permit items). 1400 Kensington Parking 3rd.doc �j • VARIATION MOTION Chairman Davis noted that the applicant had addressed the variation standards factors required as presented in their testimony. Motion by Chairman Davis, seconded by Member Krietsch to recommend approval of the request to allow the front yard setbacks to be reduced to 30 feet and for the side yard setback of Lot 1 to be reduced to 30 feet. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 — Members Ascher, Bulin, Krietsch, Nimry, Young and Chairman Davis Nays: 0— Motion Carried. U ADVOCATE HEALTH AND HOSPITALS CORPORATION — 1400 ADVOCATE HEALTH AND KENSINGTON ROAD — VARIATION — PARKIN REGULATIONS HOSPITALS SING ON TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF MORE THAN SIX PARKING - VARIATION - SPACES IN THE SIDE YARD ADJOINING A STREET PARKING REGULATIONS Chairman Davis swore in all parties that would provide testimony. Jim Slinkman, Associate General Counsel with Advocate Health Care reviewed the request. Advocate Health Care is a faith based not-for-profit 5016 corporation. They have been a corporate citizen and have had their corporate offices located in Oak Brook for 25+ years. They are located at 2025 Windsor Drive. As their organization has grown over the last 25 years, they merged in 1995 with Lutheran General Health Systems and brought on additional employees. As part of a growing organization, they have outgrown their building at 2025 Windsor. Over the years, they have leased a number of spaces throughout the Oak Brook area. In June of 2006, they acquired the property at 1400 Kensington as a second Oak Brook corporate office. They are seeking a variation to a side yard parking restriction. The existing building is located directly west of the Oak Brook Post Office. The building was acquired with the intention of converting some of the lower level space to classroom space for the employees. Previously the former owner used the space as a storage and kitchen area. They also intend to create additional office space in the lower level as well. The lower level has a walkout feature and is window lined. They are proposing to build an additional 87 parking space parking lot in the area adjacent to Kensington Court, which is also consistent with parking available for the Oak Brook Post Office, which also has parking in the side yard along Kensington Court. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 17 of 24 December 4, 2007 /7 VARIATION STANDARDS Mr. Slinkman addressed the variation standards as follows: 1. d. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located. RESPONSE: The purpose of their company acquiring the property was to consolidate as many of their leased spaces throughout the Oak Brook area into a second corporate office building. They are not only bringing in employees in the Oak Brook area but also from their many hospitals in the Chicago area to do employee training. Without the additional parking spaces, they would not be able to utilize the buildings 85,550 square feet. They would not be able to accommodate their Human Resources Organizational Development Department to build classroom spaces. Typical office building and space would have offices, cubicles, desks, furniture so that the required parking would be 3 spaces per 1000 square feet of office space. With classroom space, where there are just chairs, there is a higher concentration of individuals which correlates to a higher number of automobiles, which is why they need the additional parking spaces. There is nowhere else on the site to locate additional parking and they did not want to put it along the front of the building. 1. e. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. RESPONSE: They believe that this property and the Oak Brook Post office are the only two properties that have two street frontages in the corporate plaza subdivision. After all possible options were reviewed, locating the parking lot in the side yard was the most feasible solution to the problem. The original owners did not have this problem since they did not use the building to its full allowable potential. They had office space on the first and second floor and the ground space was not utilized. The Village does not allow parking along Kensington or Kensington Court and there is no other usable parking space. 1. f. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. RESPONSE: The area is completely commercial; there is no residential area that would be impacted by this request. The parking would also be consistent with what exists for the surrounding buildings. They all have side yard parking lots, but do not have the street. The additional landscaping will help to block the parking lot from other commercial residents and would be an improvement from its current state. The parking is consistent with that of the Post Office. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 1188 of 24 December 4, 2007 0 i • 2. g.The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation were to be carried out. RESPONSE: Advocate purchased the property to consolidate similar departments under one roof and to be closer to its main headquarters at 2025 Windsor. If the additional parking spaces were not allowed, they would not be able to move all of their necessary departments into the building and would require them to continue leasing office space throughout the surrounding Oak Brook area and would incur additional and unnecessary leasing expenses. 2. h.The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning classification. RESPONSE: The property and the Post Office are the only two properties in that area with two street frontages. Without the variation, the building could not be utilized at its existing maximum capacity. Classroom space requires additional parking because of the number of people. 2. i. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. RESPONSE: They do not believe that the variation would be detrimental due to the fact that surrounding buildings are ORA commercial buildings, with no surrounding residential buildings. The surrounding buildings have surface parking lots and this would be very consistent with the other parking areas. They have taken the opportunity to talk to their neighbors. They talked to the Post Office and they had absolutely no problem with the proposal and Ace Hardware which is located at the end of Kensington Court and they also did not have a problem with this request. 2.j. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. RESPONSE: The proposal will not impact light or air because it is a surface parking lot. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 19 of 24 December 4, 2007 2. k.That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to make more money out of the property. RESPONSE: Advocate is a faith based 5016 corporation so they are not looking to make money out of this property. They are looking to use the property as a corporate office and to use it to its full capacity. 2. 1. That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property RESPONSE: They were told at the time of sale that they could add a third story to the building, but they are looking to utilize the existing size of the building as it currently is and the difficulty has not been created by them. Chairman Davis questioned the existing number of parking spaces. Randy Anderson, EIT, Cowhey Gudmundson Leder, Ltd., responded that there are 292 and 5 handicapped parking spaces. They lost a few stalls and are bringing the stalls up to current ADA requirements. They are proposing 84 along with 3 new handicapped parking spaces. The final plan will have 370 regular spaces and 8 handicapped spaces. Chairman Davis noted that the property is currently in compliance with the required number of parking spaces for the building square footage and asked how the area they intend to use for parking is currently used. Mr. Slinkman responded that they comply with the minimum requirements. The area is currently used as green space. Chairman Davis questioned who the neighbors were in closest proximity to their building. Mr. Slinkman responded that Ace Hardware and the Post Office were their closest neighbors. To the west is an office building and to the south are the soccer fields. Chairman Davis noted that in addition to the office use, the applicant is seeking to provide additional parking for classroom use, which has more people in the room than an office use, so more parking is needed primarily for that. Member Bulin asked how the number was calculated. Gary Little, Director of Facilities and Construction, Advocate Health Care VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 20 of 24 December 4, 2007 ti responded that the additional parking space for the classroom spaces was based on the number of seats in the classroom area. Member Ascher questioned whether they were currently using any part of the building for classroom space, and if they had a parking problem at this time. Mr. Slinkman responded that the building is currently about half full and there is not a parking problem. They occupy the second floor and some of the first floor. As their leases are coming due, they will not renew them and are filling the building right now. They anticipate a problem would start to occur as the leases come due and as they build out the classroom space in the lower level. Member Bulin questioned the location of the entry for the new parking. He also questioned a potential problem with the location of ADA parking spaces that is a dead end with no turn around. Mr. Slinkman responded that there are two doors with key card access. They do not see a potential problem with the ADA parking spaces. Member Bulin questioned whether there was an inventory of the existing trees. Justin Moshure, O'Donovan Landscaping, Naperville, Illinois responded that they do not have an exact inventory for the trees; however, some trees would need to be removed for the construction of the parking lot. If they are fair trees, they may be movable but they have not seen what type exist there. Some times large plants do not transplant well and it can be costly. Chairman Davis noted that the landscape plan indicates many more plantings than currently exists. Member Bulin noted that they would be much smaller plantings. Member Young said that in a way, the Village has created a plight for the applicant by shutting off parking on Kensington so they cannot park on the street. Chairman Davis noted that in a sense the building is being redeveloped and may be consistent with the Village's revitalization plan. Mr. Slinkman responded that the ground floor was gutted and will be renovated. Trustee Sanford said that the plan is somewhat consistent with the VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 21 of 24 December 4, 2007 Revitalization Plan by making the building more usable and functional. Additional parking would improve their overall parking and it has been recognized that some of the older office buildings need additional parking to potentially get up to the desired 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet. Mr. Slinkmman noted that they built a new parking deck for their property at 2025 Windsor at a great expense. As employees come to an office, they expect to find a place to park and people were driving around the parking lot for 20 minutes trying to find a space and when they could not find would, they would end up parking on their neighbors' property. The neighbors did not like it as well as their employees,which in turn did not make them happy as well. Director of Community Development Kallien said that the parking standard for office space in the Village is 3.3 spaces per 1000 square feet and the building technically meets that with the available number of existing spaces. However, the existing standard is a minimum. Many of the more modern and new construction office buildings provide at least 5 parking spaces per 1000 square feet. What the applicant is seeking is not out of character for a modern office building. When the new spaces are factored in the parking ratio is about 4.2 per 1000 square feet. Over the last few years the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval and the Village Board approved at least two variations for similar requests. One was at 2020 Swift where additional parking was added in the front and they provided a nice landscape berm. The second case was at 814 Commerce and that building was at 3.3 and needed additional spaces. This request is consistent with those requests. Member Ascher commented that when he visited the site he observed that the two buildings to the west require a certificate in the car window to park there, so parking spaces are at a premium. The existing green space was the only green space that was visible on that side of the street. We should allow more parking spaces and it is hard to require a deck, however somewhere along the line we have to think of Oak Brook and its open green space. Member Krietsch asked if the cost of a deck was explored. Mr. Slinkman responded that when they built the deck at their other building about 7 years ago it was about $2.5 million. Parking decks are tremendously expensive. Director of Community Development Kallien said that a parking deck is about $15-20,000 per space so to add 87 spaces would probably be around $2 million. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 22 of 24 December 4, 2007 //e Mr. Little said that experience lead them to the proposal and the request for surface parking. Mr. Anderson said that they understand not wanting to see a sea of parking. Under the existing conditions, Kensington Court is slightly higher than the finished floor of the existing building so it actually slopes toward the building. The area would be graded to keep up with that. Also, a berm has been added that is typically 3-foot high along with landscape plantings to provide a screen so that the parking surface will not be completely visible. Member Nimry asked how much more traffic would be expected on Kensington when they are fully operational. He also questioned whether there would be any anticipated safety issues with the children using the soccer fields and should any stop signs be added to slow down traffic. Director of Community Development Kallien said that when the ORA-1 FAR is applied to this property, it could have a 122,000 square foot building on the site. He did not believe the additional numbers of cars would be detrimental to the soccer use. The Village could keep any traffic concerns on its radar screen to see that the traffic does not create a safety issue for the children. Mr. Slinkman responded that there is an existing three-way stop sign on Kensington Court. Director of Community Development Kallien said that the Village Engineer comments on page 8 are normal comments raised by him in order for the applicant to qualify for a building permit. Member Ascher asked which of the buildings allows parking for the use at the soccer fields. Director of Community Development Kallien responded that the agreement was with Ace Hardware. On weekends, when Ace Hardware is not in operation they can park on its lot. Chairman Davis said that it appears that the standards for a variation have sufficiently been addressed by the applicant and o recommend approval Motion by Member Young, seconded by Member Nimry to recommend approval of the requested variations to allow the construction of more than 6 parking spaces in the yard abutting the street as submitted, subject to the following conditions: VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 23 of 24 December 4, 2007 100'� /Xie 1.

PETITIONERS: Advocate Health and Hospitals Corp. LOCATION: 1400 Kensington Road ACREAGE: 5.79 acres EXISTING ZONING/USE: ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, presently improved with a two story office building with an unimproved lower level.

East: ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, office buildings. West: ORA-1, Office-Research-Assembly District, office buildings. DISCUSSION: Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation, the owner of the property at 1400 Kensington Road has submitted a petition seeking approval of a variation to Section 13-12-3H-2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the applicant is seeking a variation to permit the construction of a new 87 space parking lot on the east side of the property which is located in a side yard setback of Kensington Court. The building setback for properties in the ORA-1 District is 100 feet. However, Section 13-12-3H-2 permits the construction of a maximum of six (6) parking spaces within a setback adjacent to a street subject to the provision of a setback of at least 25 feet. The new parking spaces are needed to accommodate the parking demand of the planned build-out of the building's lower level. To minimize the visual impact on the adjacent properties, the applicant is proposing that a berm and landscaping be installed within the 25 foot setback between the new parking lot and Kensington Court. 1 STAFF REPORT—VARIATION—PARKING LOT ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE-1400 KENSINGTON ROAD CASE No.2007-034-VAR Please see the materials provided by the petitioner in the case file for a more detailed description of this request.

Kallien, Jr., Director of Community Development FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr., P.E.,Village Engine � SUBJECT: 1400 Kensington Road—Variation—ORA-1 District Phil and I have reviewed the re-submittal received on November 14, 2007 in which most of our comments were addressed. After reviewing the drawings,these items were observed: 1. A "Stormcepter" device was chosen as the water quality improvement for the run-off from the proposed parking lot. Additional construction details, a maintenance schedule, and a recordable document will need to be submitted with the permit application. 2. The requirement of two Village benchmarks was not accomplished. 3. The photometric drawing should extend to the property lines. 4. The standards and details used in the standards and details section of these plans shall be from the Public Works Construction Standards. The applicant in his letter stated that they will purchase it and details from that included in the permit submittal. These items are minor and can be taken care of with the building permit application. There are no major engineering issues that need to be addressed regarding the variation request. If any submitted drawings are used as exhibits to ordinances, a note should be added within the ordinance to the effect that: Notwithstanding the attached exhibits, the applicant shall meet all Village Ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application except as specifically varied or waived. This would prevent an applicant from forcing the Village to issue a permit based on sub-standard items that may be depicted on the drawings (these types of drawings are usually conceptual in nature and do not contain the detail necessary for a full review regarding building permit items). 1400 Kensington Parking 2nd.doc Public Notice • NOTICE HEREBY a GIVEN that a public hear- Ing before the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Cook Counties,Illliinois,will be held on December 4,2007 CERTIFICATE OF PUBLICATION at 7:30 p.m. in the Samuel E.Dean Board Room of the Paddock Publications, Inc.

Kallien, Jr., AICP, Community Development Director 41 BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to refer the request for a variation to Section 13-12- 3H-2 of the Zoning Ordinance relative to permit the construction of additional parking to the Zoning Board of Appeals for public hearing at its December 4,2007 meeting. Background/History: Advocate Health & Hospitals Corporation, the owner of the building located at 1400 Kensington Road is requesting approval of a variation to Section 13-12-3H-2 in order to construct 84 new off-street parking spaces within the 100-ft. side yard setback along Kensington Court. Even though the number of existing parking spaces on the property meets the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 3.3 spaces per 1000 square feet of gross floor, the applicant is seeking the additional spaces to serve the anticipated work force that will occupy the building. At the present time, Section 13-12-3H-2 limits the number of parking spaces in the front or side yard abutting a street to six (6). Recommendation: Please refer this request for a variation to the Zoning Ordinance to the Zoning Board of Appeals for public hearing at its December 4, 2007 meeting. BOT-Referral-Advocate Health-1400 Kensington-VAR-2007.doc OF Qq't G O 9C COUNTV VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Interoffice Memorandum DATE: November 5, 2007 TO: Robert L. Kallien, Jr., Director of Community Development FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr., P.E.,Village Engineer SUBJECT: 1400 Kensington Road—Variation—ORA-1 District and the P&Z policy, Phil and I have reviewed the file As per your request of October 19, 2007 y, you forwarded since site plan drawings were included with the application. As we understand it, the applicant is seeking a variation to permit the construction of an additional parking lot in the side yard adjoining the street next to Kensington Court. That section of the code is 13-12-3H.2. After reviewing the application and drawings,these items were observed: 1. If the parking is permitted, the proposed storm sewer from the new parking lot will not be permitted to directly connect to the storm sewer on Kensington Court. It is preferred that the new parking lot have its storm water piped into the existing detention basin. An alternative is to install , a storm water quality device before connecting into the Kensington Court storm sewer. 2. The application stormwater report states that the new parking lot is 21,320 square feet, which is below the 25,000 square foot threshold for detention. Therefore, detention is not required. 3. The drawings did not list the minimum required two Village of Oak Brook benchmarks used to obtain the topography and elevations. 4. An existing (and required) interior parking lot tree is being removed in the northeast corner of the parcel and must be replaced on the landscape plan. 1400 Kensington Rd Pkg Variation.doc 1 3 5. Existing utility lines were not completely shown or were shown incorrectly and must be corrected. This is important as it impacts the storm sewer installation as well as the possible raising of water service valves in the front berm. 6. Lighting exists within the current parking lot. Will additional lighting be installed? If so, it must not shine off the property. 7. The engineering plans will need minor revisions to comply with building permit requirements. We suggest the applicant's engineer purchase the Public Works Construction Standards. If any submitted drawings are used as exhibits to ordinances, a note should be added within the ordinance to the effect that: Notwithstanding the attached exhibits, the applicant shall meet all Village Ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application except as specifically varied or waived. This would prevent an applicant from forcing the Village to issue a permit based on sub-standard items that may be depicted on the drawings (these types of drawings are usually conceptual in nature and do not contain the detail necessary for a full review regarding building permit items). 1400 Kensington Rd Pkg Variation.doc 2 01� 51 r r x: . b.

Advocate purchased 1400 Kensington Oak Brook, IL. Property in July 2006. Advocate purchased the property for the purpose of consolidating multiple departments from leased space into a property that Advocate owns. The property also supports Advocates existing corporate office which is located at 2025 Windsor Drive Oak Brook, IL. Advocate Health Care is proposing to build the additional parking lot on the side yard due to the fact that the side yard is the only area available on the lot to construct the additional 87 parking lot spaces. The parking spaces are needed to accommodate the lower level build out, which includes space for two employee training rooms that would require the additional parking lot spaces. Advocate intends on using part of the property for its Organizational Development department. Advocates Organizational Development Department currently leases space at 2625 Butterfield Road and that lease expires in 2008. Organizational Development performs extensive training of associates and at times its classroom space requires the meeting of up to 108 occupants. In order to accommodate employees who are traveling from other Advocate sites and to use the property to its full potential, the parking lot for the property needs to be expanded by an additional 87 parking spaces. The property is located in an ORA- 1 zoning district and adjacent to primarily other commercial office buildings and the Oak Brook Post Office, so the expansion of the parking lot will have a minimal effect on any property. The parking lot expansion is consistent with the use of other properties within the immediate area. Variation (13-14-6) Standards 1 a.) The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located. The purpose of the purchase of 1400 Kensington on 6/01/2006 was to consolidate as many departments out of leased Oak Brook spaces and into an i Advocate owned building. Parking regulations don't reflect how office buildings function today, we are bringing employees in from other sites for training. Without the additional parking spaces we will not be able to utilize the buildings 85,550 sq. ft. to its full allowable potential. Specifically, without the additional parking Advocate could not accommodate its Organizational Development Department into this building which uses some of the space as classrooms. 1 b.) The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. 1400 Kensington and the Post Office are the only two properties that has two street frontages. After looking at all the possible options the additional parking lot to the front yard was the most feasible solution to the problem. The original owners did not have this problem due to the fact that they did not use the building to its full allowable 85,550 sq. feet. The basement space was mostly used for storage of equipment and kitchen and dining room area, and not office or training space for personnel. Advocate Health Care originally planned on constructing four training rooms in the lower level but soon realized that we would never be able to accommodate such a large number of people at the site. The plans were changed to reduce it from four training rooms to two training rooms, with the hopes of adding additional parking on the building site. Since the village does not allow over flow parking on Kensington Court or Kensington Street, we have no other option but to add 87 park spaces on the front yard to accommodate the additional employees and over flow parking. • 1 c.) The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The surrounding buildings are commercial properties with no residential properties surrounding 1400 Kensington. The additional parking and location of the expanded parking lot will be consistent with what already exists with the adjacent surrounding buildings. In addition, the additional landscaping added to hide the parking lot from other commercial residents will be an improvement from its current state. Advocate Health Care has talked to Charles Ungaro the property manager of ACE Hardware at 2200 Kensington Ct. Charles was very supportive of are situation. Advocate Health Care also talked to the Post Master at the Post Office, Carol Ruthledge who did not have any concerns or issues with the additional parking. 2a.) The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out. Advocate Health Care purchased 1400 Kensington in order to consolidate similar departments all under one roof and closer to it main head quarters at 2025 Windsor Drive. If the additional parking spaces were not allowed,Advocate Health Care would not be able to move all the necessary departments into the building, this would require Advocate to incur additional and unnecessary leasing expenses. 2b.) The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning classification. 1400 Kensington like the Post Office are the only two properties in the area with two street frontages. In using the building to its maximum allowable capacity and the village codes on parking on the street,Advocate Health Care has no other chose but to add additional parking on its property. Classroom space by its C �. nature requires more parking per square foot than typical office space which has permanent offices, cubicles, and office furniture. 2c.) The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. The variation will not be detrimental due to the fact that the surrounding buildings are ORA 1 commercial buildings with no surrounding residential buildings. The surrounding buildings have surface parking lots surrounding their buildings, so the use would be consistent with other properties and therefore in no way injurious to these properties. The Post Office across the street has a similar parking lot configuration as Advocate is proposing. In addition Advocate Health Care is adding a three foot height berm with multiple plantings of shade trees, evergreen trees, deciduous shrubs, and perennials making it a visual improvement over its current state. 2d.) The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. The variation will not impair light or air to the surrounding buildings due to the fact that the additional parking spaces are surface lots and are adjacent to Kensington Court that separates 1400 Kensington from the Oak Brook Post Office. 2e.) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon the desire to make more money out of the property. Advocate Health Care is a 501(c) (3) Faith based not for profit organization that by definition does not generate a profit and therefore would not be looking to make a profit out of the building. Advocate Health Care is solely looking to utilize C't, a „, "'Chi One,NA7Q 2322 gF1EGlk:NUMBER a $' �Ck�ica O, IIIIn019 ° `r:. c �tlYealt 9 �, $ � 4a � v 10/18/07 .....1..$850.00 PAY Eight hundred fifty and 00/100 Dollars >s: X2 yTC'7H1= VILAGIM 6F OAK BROOK i 1 CHECK • CHECKS 8 CASH INV M OATS NAME G.L.ACCOUNT• DESCRIPTION 1 NUMBER INVALID VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK SIGNATIGNATUT URE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT B 15572 e 1200 OAK BROOK ROAD OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS PHONE: (630)990-3045 • 7ka«k � I RETAIN THIS RECEIPT FOR YOUR RECORDS 10 Certification 0 Surrounding Property Owners of that the names and addresses of all the surrounding property owners including mailing we certify , I ( ) y labels submitted with this application are located within a minimum distance of 250 feet in all directions from the perimeter of the subject property and that the number of feet occupied by all public roads, streets, alleys, and public ways has been excluded in computing the 250-foot requirement.
