8. BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
A. TIME SQUARE PROPERTIES — SPECIAL USES
At the October 28, 2008 meeting, the Village Board received the recommendations
from the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals on several petitions
(special uses and variations) that are required to facilitate the development of the
Time Square Cafe located at 2121 Butterfield Road. After considerable discussion,
the Village Board recommended approval of the three variations for the site
(reduction in the number of parking spaces, ground sign and reduction in the
landscaped setback) and directed that the Village Attorney prepare the necessary
ordinance.
Regarding the special uses, the Board received information from the City of
Oakbrook Terrace relative to traffic issues and turning movements from the
proposed Time Square Cafe project. In response, the Board continued final action
on the special uses in order to obtain additional information and analysis from the
Village relative to traffic data and turning movements to and from Butterfield and
Midwest Roads. Comments were made to seek out input from another traffic
engineer.
As a result, Village Manager Niemeyer consulted with Village Engineer Durfey,
Public Works Director Hullihan and Community Development Director Kallien to
discuss next steps. Because both the Village Engineer and Public Works Director
are licensed professional engineers in the State of Illinois and combined, have many
years of municipal experience, it was determined that they would analyze the
existing site and traffic conditions and make a recommendation on steps that should
be taken by the Village Board as part of their final deliberations on the special use
requests for the Time Square
The Village's Engineer's have determined that current Time Square Cafe accesses
on Midwest and Butterfield Roads be allowed to function without restriction.
However, after six months of receiving occupancy, additional measures (turning
restrictions and /or install physical barriers) may be required if accident levels
increase or traffic hazards exist as a result of traffic movements to and from this
development. Those potential improvements should be secured by cash or a letter of
credit. As a result, this language would need to be part of the final recommendation
for the special uses and included in the final ordinance. It should be also noted that
any left turn restrictions on Midwest Road would have to receive DuPage County
approval.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
NOVEMBER 11, 2008
8. A. Staff also received additional information from the applicant's traffic engineer which
addressed concerns raised at the October 28, 2008 Board meeting.
Staff recommended approval of the special uses subject to conditions. Also, since
the requested special uses and variations for Time Square Cafe relate to one another,
Staff recommended that final action on the ordinance approving the three variations
be placed on the agenda that also contains the ordinance for the two special uses.
Mr. Peter Savenok of Time Square Cafe addressed the Board regarding the traffic
study. He introduced the traffic engineer representing Time Square Cafe, Mr.
Daniel Brinkman. Mr. Brinkman commented that he did not believe there would be
more than eight vehicles through the drive - through at one time since it was a small
operation not a national chain. He asked that the six month trial period should be
based on the completion of roadwork on Midwest Road. He offered to answer any
questions.
Trustees Manofsky and Wolin expressed concerns regarding the size of the location
regarding parking and traffic. Trustee Wolin also had concerns regarding parking
and wished to amend the motion to address concerns of neighboring locations. The
amendment was not seconded.
Village Engineer Durfey responded to a question from Trustee Sanford indicating
that the completion of Midwest Road should be about the same time of occupancy.
Trustees Wolin and Kennedy also expressed concern about the left turn exits, but
would defer to the Village Engineers' opinion.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Saiyed, based on the additional
traffic information received, to concur with the recommendations from the Plan
Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals and approve the requested special uses
for outdoor dining and a drive -thru lane at the Time Square Cafe located at 2121
Butterfield Road subject to the following conditions:
a. The outdoor dining area is to be constructed in substantial conformance to the
revised plans as shown on pages 36 and 37 of the case file;
b. The drive thru lane is to be constructed in substantial conformance to the revised
plans as shown on pages 36 and 39 of the case file;
c. The existing Midwest Road and Butterfield Road accesses can remain full
accesses. However after six months of receiving occupancy and the completion
of Midwest Road construction whichever is later, and it is found that accident
levels increase as a result of traffic movements to and from this development, the
Village Engineer may require additional safety measures be taken, which may
include turning restrictions and /or installation of physical barriers and that those
potential improvements should be secured by cash or a letter of credit; and

RELATIVE TO PERMITTED HOURS FOR SALE AND CONSUMPTION
The Village Board discussed allowing liquor establishments in Oak Brook to
increase the permitted hours for sale and consumption of alcohol on Friday nights
from 1:00 am to 2:00 am, similar to Saturday hours. This request was made from
A1- Di -La. Trustee Sanford talked with the Chamber and reported that the
Chamber did not believe that there was any significant demand for this additional
hour on Fridays from local establishments. Recently, a similar request from The
Grotto was received.
The Village President, who is also the Liquor Commissioner, is requesting that
the board consider changing the code to allow all liquor license holders to be
open until 2:00 am on Friday evenings. The Police Chief does not anticipate any
problems with this change. President Craig was also requesting that the Village
Board consider charging an additional $500 annual fee for the privilege of getting
this new license. The management of Grotto was aware of this proposed fee and
was willing to pay the fee if granted the additional hour on Friday evenings.

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) 22ND STREET LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS — SPRING ROAD TO SALT
CREEK
Hitchcock Design Group has presented a proposal for design and engineering
services for the 22nd Street Landscape Improvements, Spring Road to Salt Creek.
This is for design of median landscape services for the tollway bridge project.
The source of funds will be hotel /motel tax revenues.
Trustee Saiyed expressed a concern regarding the exit off of Eastbound I -88 onto
Midwest Road and wondered why the Tollway Authority did not have an exit off
of Route 83. Village Engineer Durfey explained that there was a logistical
problem due to an 82 foot right of way owned by the gas company with a 42" gas
main in the ground at that point.
Trustee Saiyed also expressed concern that hotel /motel taxes were being used for
beautification, but that in the current economy the hotels also needed additional
funds for marketing to improve their business. Trustee Manfosky indicated that
they were meeting to discuss that issue.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, to approve the
Hitchcock Design Group Proposal - 22nd Street Landscape Improvements, Spring
Road to Salt Creek. ROLL CALL VOTE:

B ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
1) RESOLUTION R -1029, A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF
OAK BROOK AND THE OAK BROOK PARK DISTRICT FOR A
HISTORICAL MUSEUM AT BUTLER SCHOOL
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 10 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
NOVEMBER 11, 2008
10. B. 1) In 2004, the Village of Oak Brook and the Oak Brook Park District approved an
intergovernmental agreement for a historical museum at the old Butler School.
The Park District's, role in the current agreement is to construct and maintain
interior improvements to the building for use as a museum; operate programs and
activities in the museum and to provide liability insurance for the operations of
the museum. The agreement was a 20 year commitment for both sides with no opt
out clause. However, about a year or so ago, park district officials approached the
Village and asked to renegotiate this agreement as they were no longer able to
undertake the commitments they made in this agreement.
The new proposed agreement calls for the historical society and the Village to
take over many of the obligations of the Park District in regards to the school and
the museum. The Park District's remaining obligations would be to contribute
$10,000 annually for five years for physical improvements to the school and to
permit the use of the District's grant writers to help obtain grants for the museum.
The previous agreement is rendered null and void.
As is outlined in the agreement, the next step is for the village to enter into a lease
with the Historical Society to determine their respective responsibilities for the
museum.
Trustee Saiyed amended the agreement to include "the Historical Society" in the
13th clause regarding rights, title or interest. Trustee Kennedy also asked that
within the 4th clause the Historical Society be removed from the grant writer
issue.
Motion by Trustee Saiyed, seconded by Trustee , for passage of Resolution R -1029,
A Resolution Approving An Intergovernmental Agreement Between The Village Of Oak
Brook And The Oak Brook Park District For A Historical Museum At Old Butler School
as amended. ROLL CALL VOTE:

C AWARD OF CONTRACTS — None presented.
D DISCUSSION — ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS & IMPOUNDMENT OF
VEHICLES USED IN CONNECTION WITH ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
The Village of Oak Brook Police Department has researched several municipalities'
Administrative Hearing /Towing proposals. The tow of Wood Dale has the most
effective and efficient program. Oak Brook would pattern their program after Wood
Dales. We believe the program would give us another tool in helping protect the
public health, safety and welfare of our community
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
NOVEMBER 11, 2008
10. D. Wood Dale's program has four major components:
1) Vehicles towed are used in connection with illegal activities example, DUI,
Driving While License is Revoked /Suspended, vehicles used in commission of
crimes, violations of the Cannabis control act, among other offenses.
2) Violators can pay the administrative fee of $500 by cash, money order, or through
a company called "General Payment System" or similar company. Violators can
schedule a hearing to appeal the vehicle impoundment.
3) Hearings are once a month and presided by an Administrative Hearing Officer
approved by the Village Manager and the Board of Trustees. The Village
attorney represents the Village. Costs to Wood Dale per year are approximately
$15,000.
4) Revenues collected are placed in the General Fund. Wood Dale's revenue per
year is approximately $170,000.
Research into 2006 and 2007 Oak Brook Police records indicated an average of 429
offenders per year which would result in potential fees in excess of $200,000.
However, considering the substantial reduction due to the current state of the
economy, the police department anticipated revenues of approximately $150,000 less
operating costs of $15,000 for a total revenue of $135,000.
The Police Department was looking for the Board's input, discussion and direction
for this initiative. The Village Attorney has prepared a draft ordinance for review.
Trustees expressed concern regarding overzealous enforcement of this ordinance.
They recommended that the ordinance be enforced based on discretion and prudence
of the police officer.
Motion by Trustee Saiyed, Seconded by Trustee Manofsky, that the Village Manager
Place the Ordinance Providing for the Impoundment of Motor Vehicles Used in
Connection With Illegal Activites on the November 25`h Board Agenda. ROLL
