8. BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
A. OAKS IMPROVEMENTS, LLC C/O DLC MANAGEMENT CORP BY MID -
AMERICA ASSET MANAGEMENT — 1600 16TH ST. — VARIATION TO
SECTION 13- 11 -7A.5 — GROUND SIGN
At its meeting on June 5, 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed a petition
from Oaks Improvements, LLC c/o DLC Management Corp by Mid - Amenca Asset
is Management, the owner of the shopping center known as the Oaks of Oak Brook
located at 1600 16th Street. They submitted a petition seeking approval of a variation
to Section 13- 11 -7 -A -5 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit a ground sign on a
commercial property that is permitted on commercial properties of 10 acres or more
in size. The Oaks of Oak Brook is on a site of approximately four acres and is
permitted to have one ground sign that identifies the name of the center and its
address. The applicant is seeking a sign that is permitted on parcels with 10 acres or
more that permits the listing of individual store names on a ground sign.
The applicant originally sought a variation to permit a 19 -ft. high ground sign.
However, after an initial review by the Zoning Board of Appeals, the applicant
amended its request to permit a ground sign that is 24 -feet in height. The additional
height will provide additional area to properly identify the tenant names in a manner
that is more consistent with other ground signs in the area.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 5 to 1, the Zoning Board of Appeals found that the applicant had
addressed and satisfied the applicable standards required to recommend approval of
the requested variation to allow a 24 -foot high ground sign with tenant panels as
proposed, subject to the following conditions:
1. The development is to be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans
• VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 13 JUNE 26,2007
•
•
8.A. for the sign as submitted and revised on pages 12 and 12.a (dated May 3, 2007) of
the case file.
2. All other provisions of Section 13- 11 -7A -5 of the Zoning Ordinance shall be
followed relative to the design and construction of the sign.
3. Notwithstanding the exhibits contained in the case file, the applicant shall meet all
Village ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application, except
as vaned or waived.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Wolin, to concur with the
recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals and approve the requested
variation to Section 13- 11 -7A.5 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit a 24 -foot ground
sign with tenant panels subject to the following conditions:
1. To be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans as submitted, dated
May 3, 2007 on pages 12 and 12.a of the case file;
2. All other provisions of Section 13- 11 -7A.5 of the Zoning Ordinance shall be
followed;
3. Notwithstanding the exhibits contained in the case file, the applicant shall meet all
Village ordinance requirements at the time of building permit application except as
varied or waived; and
4. Authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for final
approval at the July 10, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting. VOICE VOTE: Motion
carried.
B. HU — 11 DOVER DRIVE — VARIATION TO YORK ROAD SETBACK
At its meeting on June 5, 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed a petition
from Mr. Sean Hu, the owner of the home at 11 Dover Drive in the York Woods
Subdivision. He is seeking approval of a variation to Section 13 -3 -5 of the Zoning
Ordinance in order to construct a new detached garage in the rear yard of the
property. The proposed garage is located approximately 21 feet from the rear
property line and is approximately 57 feet from the eastern edge of York Road.
Even though Section 13- 6C -3F -2d of the Zoning Ordinance states that the rear yard
setback shall be 40 feet; and Section 13- 3- 6A -3d(1) states that accessory structures
may be located within 5 feet of the rear property line as long as the maximum height
not exceed 15 feet, Section 13 -3 -5 contradicts these provisions by requiring a 100 -
foot setback.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Board of Appeals found that the applicant addressed
and satisfied all applicable standards required to recommend approval of the
requested variation to Section 13 -3 -5, subject to the following conditions:
1. The development is to be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans as
submitted and approved under permit number 07 -2 -210 as shown on pages J, K
and L of the case file.
• VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 5 of 13 JUNE 26,2007
LJ
•
8.B. 2. Notwithstanding the exhibits contained in the case file, the applicant shall meet all
Village ordinance requirements in the building permit process.
3. Any engineering requirements should be discussed with Village Engineer Durfey.
Staff Comments:
A contradiction exists in the R -3 Zoning District to the extent that it very clearly
states that any front or side yard that abuts York Road must meet the setback
provisions of Section 13 -3 -5. However, this link to the Section 13 -3 -5 provision was
not included for the rear yard setback, which was left as 40 feet. Because of this
contradiction and the adverse impact that Section 13 -3 -5 has on many properties,
Staff and the Plan Commission have undertaken an analysis of this issue and will
make recommendations where appropriate.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Wolin, to concur with the
recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals and approve the requested
variation to Section 13 -3 -5 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit a detached garage to be
built in the required rear yard subject to the following conditions:
1. The development is to be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans as
submitted and approved under permit number 07 -2 -210 as shown on pages J, K
and L of the case file;
2. Notwithstanding the exhibits contained in the case file, the applicant shall meet all
Village ordinance requirements in the building permit process;
3. Any engineering requirements should be discussed with Village Engineer Durfey;
and
4. Approve Ordinance 5 -1199, An Ordinance Granting a Variation from the
Provisions of Section 13 -3 -5 of Title 13 (Zoning Regulations) of the Village Code
of the Village of Oak Brook Relative to Setback Requirements Along Streets - 11
Dover Drive. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed and Sanford.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS - None presented.
B. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
1) ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to solicit input from residents and to
offer advice and recommendations to the Village President and to the Village
Board to improve Village operations. The methods used for soliciting citizen
input and issuing recommendations are standard for both state and local
government.
• VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 6 of 13 JUNE 2652007
9. B. 1)
The Advisory Committee would consist of five (5) members, one resident from
each quadrant of the Village and one resident member at large. A staff member
would also serve as an ex officio member to handle minutes, reports and the
annual survey of residents. The Village President would make all appointments.
The members would serve staggered two (2) year terms. A chairperson and
recording secretary would be elected from among the Committee's membership.
The Committee is solely advisory in nature. It will be required to 1) meet
quarterly with the Village President, 2) conduct one meeting per year with
residents of each of the four quadrants of the Village, 3) oversee an annual
resident survey, and 4) issue an annual report including the results of the quadrant
meetings and annual resident survey to the Village President and Board of
Trustees.
There is no new budget source or budget impact from this proposal. Current staff
position(s) would handle meeting minutes for each quadrant, the four meetings
with residents of each quadrant would be conducted at Village Hall, and printing
costs of an annual report would be built into the existing cost of printing a
quarterly Village newsletter (It would serve as the fourth quarter
newsletter /annual report for the Village). Partial use of a staff person for
producing a citizen survey is also included in the current Village budget. There is
no other impact on current ordinances.
Trustee Wolin concurred with the establishment of this committee, but felt that it
should be a larger group. He added that he felt the number one priority of the
Board should be the hiring of a Village Manager. He suggested that this was not
the appropriate time to work on this project and felt that the creation of a new
committee be postponed.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to delay the creation of
the Citizen Advisory Committee until a future meeting after a Village Manager
had been hired. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS - None presented.
D. CLEARWATER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
At the January 23, 2007 Village Board Meeting, the Board approved the Special Use
for the Clearwater Development Project subject to the approval of a Development
Agreement for the project. The draft materials were discussed at the Special
Committee -of -the -Whole Board of Trustees Meeting on June 25, 2007 and revised in
accordance with the comments and consensus reached at that meeting.

9.D. Trustee Kennedy noted a scriveners error which will be corrected.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, for passage of
Resolution R -982 authorizing the Execution of the Development Agreement between
the Village of Oak Brook and York Road EW LLC, The John Buck Company for the
Clearwater Development Project. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed and Sanford.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
E. 2007 POLO LICENSE AGREEMENT - DON HEALY, POLO CLUB CONTINUED
FROM MAY 22, 2007
At the Village Board meeting of June 12, 2007 a revised agreement had been
requested by the Village Board and has been reviewed by the Village Attorney Mark
Sterk.
Karen Martino, Polo Coordinator for the Village of Oak Brook, and Don Healey,
Leasee and organizer of Oak Brook polo matches, were present at the Board meeting
to answer questions relative to the Polo Agreement and the information related to
polo events hosted in Naperville. In brief, Naperville charges fees for polo in manner
that differs from Oak Brook due to the nature of the teams that compete. Oak Brook
polo matches are comprised of Chicago International Polo that include organizations
that have their own fields but travel to compete.
However, the Naperville Tournaments are made of teams that do not have their own
fields. The Naperville season begins with the Esperanza Open on June 22"d and
includes a per game charge of $700.00 and a tournament entrance of $1,300, but
Village staff are still verifying the actual total paid to the organizer and that which is
paid to the grounds. Similar to Oak Brook, the cost for the Polo event include
paramedics, referees, timer, trophies, and field rental.
Motion by Trustee Manofsky, seconded by Trustee Carson, to approve the revised
License Agreement between the Village of Oak Brook and Donald Healy, Polo Club.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed and Sanford.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
10. NEW BUSINESS
A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 13
JUNE 26,2007
10. A. 1) BOARD OF FIRE AND POLICE COMMISSIONERS
Oak Brook Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is comprised of three (3)
members. Each Commissioner serves for a term of three years. Commissioner
Alfred Giusfredi voluntarily resigned his position for personal reasons effective
June 20, 2007. President Craig's recommended the appointment of Frederick C.
Cappetta to the Oak Brook Board of Fire and Police Commissioners for a term to
expire in May 2009.
Acting Village Attorney, Michael Hayes explained that Illinois Municipal Code
and Oak Brook Village Code outlines that the Village President appoints a
candidate with the advice and consent of the Board. The Board may also
withhold its' consent. He added that President Craig was under no legal
obligation to choose a candidate from a list of candidates provided by the Board
of Trustees. He added that the Village of Oak Brook had included a vetting
process which included interviews of candidates by Board liaisons, Chairman of
the Committee and staff. This process was done outside of the public view. He
felt that, from a legal standpoint, this weakened the Village President's duty to
appoint a candidate and has relieved the Board of Trustee's of its' right to advise
and consent.
Trustee Kennedy reminded the Board of the history surrounding a contentious
appointment that cost the Village about a quarter of a million dollars, very bad
publicity and bad blood. This led to the development of a process involving the
• Board of Trustees in the selection process of appointments in order to prevent
future problems. Those procedures were transparent with notice and open to the
public. He felt that it was a serious mistake not to follow those procedures.
President Craig indicated that he chose to make the appointments without input
from the Board and if anyone had a comment against the candidates they should
make their opinions known.
Trustees Manofsky, Wolin, Saiyed, Carson, Sanford and Kennedy indicated that
it was not that they had anything against the individuals, but that they had no idea
who any of the other candidates were in order to make an informed decision.
President Craig read Mr. Cappetta's credentials.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Saiyed, to confirm President
Craig's recommendation to appoint Frederick C. Cappetta to the Oak Brook
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners for a term to expire in May 2009.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 2 - Trustees Manofsky and Saiyed.
Nays: 4 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Sanford and Wolin.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion failed.

10. A. 2)
President Craig announced that the consent of the Board had failed, but that he
announced that he is appointing Mr. Fred Cappetta to the Oak Brook Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners. Acting Village Attorney Hayes explained that
under the Illinois Municipal Code if the candidate fails to gain consent of the
Board, the Village President has the right to make a temporary appointment.
Trustee Sanford asked how long the temporary appointment would stand.
Attorney Hayes indicated it would be until the Board of Trustees consents to an
appointment.
Trustee Kennedy reminded the Board that the Village had an Ordinance which
restricts the length of a temporary appointment. President Craig responded that
State Statute supersedes local ordinance. Trustee Kennedy disagreed and
reminded President Craig that he voted for the ordinance.
2) PLAN COMMISSION
The Oak Brook Plan Commission is comprised of seven (7) members. Each
Commissioner serves for a term of three years.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Sanford, to confirm President
Craig's recommendation to re- appoint Gopal Lalmalani to the Oak Brook Plan
Commission to fill a vacant position for a term to expire in May 2008. VOICE
VOTE: Motion carried.
Motion by Trustee Saiyed, seconded by Trustee Carson, to defer President
Craig's recommendation to appoint John Skubiak to the Oak Brook Plan
Commission for a term to expire in May 2010 to the next meeting. VOICE
VOTE: Motion carried. President Craig read Mr. Skubiak's credentials.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Sanford, to confirm President
Craig's recommendation to appoint Mintu Sharma to the Oak Brook Plan
Commission for a term to expire in May 2010. VOICE VOTE: Motion failed.

President Craig announced that the consent of the Board had failed, but he
announced that under the same circumstances as previously mentioned he
appointed Mintu Sharma to the Oak Brook Plan Commission. President Craig
read her credentials.

E. VILLAGE MANAGER
President Craig announced that this item was placed on the Agenda by several
Trustees. He asked that each member keep their remarks to no longer than five
minutes.
Trustee Wolin felt that with the resignation of Jeffrey Moline, it is critical to move
forward and hire a new Village Manager. He explained that the previous Board set
up a procedure for locating a new Manager by hiring the PAR Group, consultants
who specialize in identifying and profiling potential candidates. They have already
conducted a survey and solicited resumes and received about fifty resumes. They
chose approximately twenty -five that they felt would be a good fit. The Board has
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 13 JUNE 26,2007
10. E. reviewed those resumes and taken an initial step to select candidates that they felt
is would be very good for the position. He felt that it was important to start the process
of interviews immediately to find a permanent manager.
•
He added that there was a process for obtaining interim managers. He explained that
as Village elections occur, through no fault, Village Managers may become available.
He also suggested a temporary appointment of a current staff member, but he felt that
the Village functions with a very thin staff and he would not like to overburden staff.
Trustees Saiyed and Sanford concurred and commented that there were many good
candidates and they would hate to lose them by taking the process too slowly.
Trustee Kennedy added that the process began four months ago, was 95% complete,
and it was important to move forward.
