SECURITY
A letter dated July 31, 2008 was received from Dan Callaghan requesting a reduction
of $978,785.00. Upon reviewing the file and the work accomplished to date, the
corrected reduction amount is calculated at $1,076,663.50 for the Brittwood Creek

amount of work yet to be done. Per usual procedures, the Engineering Department
had spot - inspected the improvements as they had been constructed and found them to
comply with Village regulations.
The recommended summary is as follows:
Original amount of subdivision security $ 41026,069.41
Previous reductions $ 0.00
This reduction $ 1,076,663.50
Balance in subdivision security $ 2,9491405.91
With this request, the remaining portion of the subdivision security will have 73% of
the original amount.

Credit No. 616078200 -500 from the Bridgeview Bank Group by the amount of
$1,076,663.50.

Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
2) 2008 DRAINAGE PROJECT — PART A (3000 WHITE OAK LANE)
In February 2005, due to unusual rainfall, Village crews pumped water off the
White Oak Lane pavement at 3000 White Oak Lane into the pond where a storm
sewer usually discharged. In July 2005, Mr. Larry Wise informed the staff that he
had blocked the outlet sewer. The staff, over the next few years, worked with
Village Manager Boehm, Acting Village Manager Moline, and various Village
attorneys to deal with this issue. During this time, the Public Works Department
had manually pumped water through 300 feet of hose to Meyers Road into an
existing County storm sewer.
On February 1, 2007, the Village hired an engineering firm to study the area and
opine on the feasibility of a storm sewer to drain the area into the County's storm
sewer on Meyers Road. That study concluded that a storm sewer was feasible but
that the County sewer was at capacity at the 10 -year event, which meant placing
additional water into the County system was problematic. Staff then met with
County staff and discussed the matter. The conclusion was that the County would
issue a permit for a small 6" storm sewer connection.
Staff had designed this 6" pipe and requested quotes from 6 companies (all 6
companies have experience doing this type of work and have done past work in
the Village). Quotes from 5 companies were received by August 1St. The County
had reviewed the plans and was waiting for a complete application including
contractor information. Construction should commence after Labor Day and be
completed in about a month.
Trustee Carson asked whether the actions by Mr. Wise aggravated the situation
and whether he had any liability to correct the problem. Village Engineer Durfey
responded that he Village was advised that litigation against Mr. Wise would be
more costly than correcting the problem.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, that the Village Board
waive formal bidding procedures and award a contract to the company with the
lowest quote, Prime Construction, subject to staff review, for the 2008 Drainage
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 6 of 14 RESCHEDULED REGULAR MEETING

A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS — None presented
B. ORDINANCES, & RESOLUTIONS
1) ORDINANCE G -864, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 2, 5, 6, 7
AND 9 OF TITLE 9 ( "STORMWATER, FLOODPLAIN AND
SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL REGULATIONS ") OF THE
VILLAGE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK.
On March 25, 2008 the DuPage County Board approved certain revisions to the
DuPage Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance. As a full- waiver
community (the Village enforces the Storm Water Ordinances instead of DuPage
County), Oak Brook enforces the minimum County standards and our Title 9
Ordinance mirrors the County Ordinance except in those areas where the Village
is more restrictive. Therefore it is appropriate to incorporate the recent DuPage
County revisions into our Code.
The revisions address requirements set forth that primarily relate to water quality
Best Management Practices (BMPs) which are design, construction and
maintenance practices for stormwater facilities that minimize the impact of
stormwater runoff rates and volumes, prevent erosion, and capture pollutants.
Proposed Ordinance Section 9 -5 -3K requires that developments shall treat the
developed area for pollutants from the site in accordance with accepted practices
and procedures.
Examples of BMPs include wetland detention basins, infiltration swales,
vegetated buffers, silt fencing, sediment traps, street sweeping, commercial grease
traps, roadway salt alternatives and spill prevention plans and /or structures.
Exceptions to these requirements include a parcel being developed of less than
one acre for single to two family uses and provides that the Village Engineer shall
consider granting an exception for certain developments. Single family teardown
developments over an acre would need to comply with these proposed
requirements. It also permits a fee -in -lieu payment in certain situations.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 14 RESCHEDULED REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 12, 2008
Roadway developments include any activity, excavation or fill, alteration, or
construction that affects the discharge of storm water, or any man -made change to
real estate that relates to roads within rights -of -way.
Since each development is unique, it is very difficult to opine on what additional
costs each would incur. For subdivisions with only turf grass bottom detention
basins, additional costs would be incurred to effectuate the required settling or
trapping of sediments and pollutants. For commercial developments, there are
many alternatives available to perform the needed functions of pollutant removal,
such as vegetated filter strips, permeable pavers, or manufactured
separating /settling devices.
These new water quality requirements were debated for about two years at the
Municipal Engineers /Consulting Engineers /DuPage County meetings. As they
take effect, discussion will continue on what practices are taking place, how they
work (or don't work), costs, etc.
Trustee Kennedy questioned Village Engineer Durfey regarding the section that
allows property owners in lieu of putting in sewers or swales or other best
management features to make a dollar payment to the Village to provide those
features. He recognized that stipulations were different for single family
residential and multi- family developments and wondered if the stipulations
should not be the same. Engineer Durfey responded that the smaller single
family residential areas would find it very difficult to comply with the Best
Management Practices.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, for passage of
Ordinance G -864, An Ordinance Amending Chapters 2, 5, 6, 7 And 9 Of Title 9
( "Stormwater, Floodplain and Sedimentation and Erosion Control Regulations ")
Of The Village Code Of The Village Of Oak Brook. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
2) ORDINANCE 5 -1240, AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO
THE LIBRARY MEETING ROOM AND GROUP STUDY ROOMS POLICY
The Library Meeting Room and Group Study Rooms Policy was most recently
amended November 2004 and was passed without amendment again in 2006.
The current amendment clarifies the purpose of the policy that is to offer criteria
for the public use of the library's facilities and reasons for their availability to the
community. The fees section is amended to require a refundable deposit of
$100.00 rather than $50.00, as security against breakage and clean up. The
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 14 RESCHEDULED REGULAR MEETING

regulations and restrictions section was written to include the gardens in the
smoking ban reflecting the recently passed Smoke Free Illinois Act.
Motion by Trustee Saiyed, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, for passage of
Ordinance 5 -1240, An Ordinance Adopting an Amendment to the Library
Meeting Room and Group Study Rooms Policy. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes. 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays • 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) YORK ROAD STREET LIGHTING
The Beautification Committee recommended including the York Road section for
improved lighting in the 22nd Street lighting improvements. The proposal from
Hitchcock Design Group for design and engineering services added the 22 "d St
lighting to York Road from Dover Drive to the 1 -88/1 -294 spur ramp overpass.
Hitchcock Design Group is the proposed consultant for this project as they have
been for previous beautification projects in the Village. The cost of their services
will be a fixed fee of $28,000 for survey, design and engineering services and
$11,000 for construction phase services. The source of funds will be hotel /motel
tax revenues. As a result the definition of the Hotel District would have to be
updated.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Saiyed, to approve the
Hitchcock Design Group Proposal - 22 "d Street Improvements Project, York Road
Street Lighting Extra Services. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Salyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.

E. CLEARWATER DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN CHANGES DISCUSSION
The John Buck Company, the owner and developer of the proposed Clearwater
Development had confirmed that the residential condominium element (17 -story
tower and 67 units) was no longer financially feasible and will be eliminated from the
project. As such, the John Buck Company proposed a modification of their approved
development plan by eliminating the residential condominium tower and replacing
that area with a future "tenant" use. Staff learned that "Pinstripes" was the future
tenant which was a use that combines a high -end bistro with indoor bowling and
bocce ball. In addition, John Buck proposed a drive -thru banking facility replace one
of the planned restaurant pads on 22"d Street.
Both banking and entertainment uses, including bowling alleys, were included in the
0-4 text amendment that was part of the Clearwater approvals.
With regards to the "Pinstripes" use, staff did learn that such a facility existed in the
Village of Northbrook. Based on the floor plan of that location, the uses within the
building are as follows:
• Restaurant /Banquet /Common Areas: 40%
• Bowling: 35%
• Bocce Ball: 25%
The John Buck Company had indicated that the estimated sales for the Northbrook
facility were approximately $8 million in the second year of operation.
Reviewing the approved development plan, the Clearwater project was approved for
the following uses:
• 17- Story, 67 unit condominium tower
• 49,750 square foot health club
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 10 of 14 RESCHEDULED REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 12, 2008
• 6- story, 139 room hotel
• 57,545 square feet of retail
• 7,250 square feet of specialty retail in an out lot along 22 "6 Street
• 17,500 square feet of restaurant use in two out lots along 22nd Street
• two level parking deck
• central park feature (including a Starbuck's) in front of condominium area
Total square footage of retail, health club and three out lots: 131,040
With these proposed changes to the plan, a breakdown of the uses in the Clearwater
project is as follows:
• 30,230 square feet of retail
• 49,440 square foot health club
• 5618 square feet of specialty retail in an out lot along 22nd Street
• 10,900 square feet of out lot space planned for one restaurant and one drive -thru
bank
• 41,000 square feet for the proposed Pinstripes
• elimination of the two -level parking deck
• elimination of the central park feature (including the Starbuck's)
Total square footage of retail, health club, three out lots and Pinstripes: 137,188 (a
4.4 percent increase from the approved plan)
For the Clearwater project, The John Buck Company requested and received approval
of a text amendment in the 0-4 district and a special use for the Clearwater mixed -
use project. In addition, the Village of Oak Brook and the John Buck Company
entered into a development agreement for the Clearwater project. As part of this
agreement, the developer has been granted certain latitude to a.) construct all or any
portion of the Approved Development Concept Plan and b.) increase the square
footage devoted to any portion of the Approved Development Concept Plan by up to
10 percent. If any use is increased by over 10 percent, the Owner shall resubmit the
Plan to the Plan Commission, Zoning Board and Village Board for review and
approval.
The Development Agreement also provides that the Community Development
Director may also approve minor deviations to the Approved Development Concept
Plan. Otherwise, the project that was to be built must be in substantial compliance
with the Approved Development Concept Plan. Substantial compliance is defined in
the agreement as "i) the buildings are consistent with or related to the design and
materials as outlined therein or ii) the buildings use materials identified therein or
similar and related materials such as architectural stone."
Trustee Sanford indicated that staff felt there were enough changes that it was
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 14 RESCHEDULED REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 12, 2008
necessary to ask the Board if they felt that the revised plan is consistent with the spirit
and content of the approved development agreement. Trustee Sanford indicated that
he felt it was, but had some comments. His concern was that although he felt the
changes were still consistent he did not want to give the impression that it was
permissible to make mayor changes when circumstances change without going
through an approval process. He was willing to accept these changes, but would
require future changes to go through the whole process.
He introduced John Brechin of the John Buck Company. He indicated that the Buck
Company would like to undertake the beginning of construction and move forward.
The Special Use approved for a mixed use development specified the type of
development that was allowed, but did not specify that they had to be constructed. It
was felt that due to the economic and real estate market changes it was not feasible to
Include the condominium structure. Susan Hammersly, Sr. Vice President, provided
information to the Board as to all of the revisions and the reasons for them.
Mr. Dale Schwartz from Pinstripes made a presentation on the new facility
recommended for Oak Brook. Their vision was to redefine entertainment and dining
with a high quality Bowling, Bocce, Bistro facility. They felt that the site in Oak
Brook was very special. President Craig commented that he had visited a facility on
two separate occasions and was quite impressed.
Trustee Sanford indicated that he would like to see this project move forward since it
was a mayor part of commercial revitalization recommended for the Village.
Trustee Kennedy concurred with Trustee Sanford to see the project move forward
and agreed that the changes were consistent with the development agreement,
although with disappointment for the loss of the condominium project. He felt that
the development agreement was not quite as precise as it should have been. He
suggested language as an addendum to the original development agreement.
Trustee Wolin asked them to address traffic issues. Ms. Hammersly responded that
they used the same parking /traffic consultant as for the original plan. He went to the
Pinstripe facility in Northbrook and observed their patterns and discovered that they
were very similar to the original plan. Due to the type of facility it meshed well with
the area because it would not affect peak traffic.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to recommend to staff
that they proceed with permitting, subject to Village Attorney negotiations with John
Buck Company and its attorneys to rewrite the Development Agreement. ROLL

Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
