8. BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
A. BRITTWOOD CREEK, LLC — MAP AMENDMENT AND PRELIMINARY
PLAT OF SUBDIVISION WITH VARIATION TO SUBDIVISION
REGULATIONS CONTINUED FROM NOVEMBER 28, 2006 MEETING
Resident Robert Lindgren in his capacity as Vice President of the Fullersburg
Woods Area Association read a Resolution adopted by the Fullersburg Woods
Area Association indicating that it opposed any changes to the Planning and
Zoning Codes of the Villages of Oak Brook and Hinsdale that would increase
development density or permit non - residential development beyond that
explicitly allowed in the current Village Codes. He expressed that many
residents of Fullersburg Woods continue to be concerned about the proposed
development.
He expressed his personal opinion that the density of this development was more
than he interpreted the Code to allow and iterated the problems of limited access
for the surrounding area.
Resident Sharon Lindgren also spoke to the issue of Brittwood Creek citing the
impact increased density had on the School Districts, access to the area and
public safety access
Resident Collins Whitfield spoke to the Board relative to his positive experience
with the developer of Brittwood Creek who also developed Forest Gate where he
currently lives.
Resident Mike Chambers spoke in support of the project recognizing that change
is inevitable and commented that the developer had worked with local residents
to address concerns.
Resident Linda Campbell addressed the Board acknowledging how she has seen
Oak Brook develop from farmland to a very fine community based on smart
decisions on development and showed support for the proposed development
Residents Fred Cappetta, Anthony Pasquinelli of Breckenridge, Mrs. Maryann
Kaufman of Adams Road and Mr. Ray Allen of 35th Street, all residents in close
proximity to the development, spoke on behalf of the Brittwood Creek
development in that it was felt that the development as currently proposed was
agreeable and within the law.
The petitioner via Mr. Walter Morrissey, attorney for the project, addressed the
Board relative to the changes in zoning and iterated a number of other Oak
Brook properties that did not conform to the two acre zoning and described the
layout of the proposed area and the reasons for the specific acreage.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 17 December 125 2006
8.A. Trustee Sanford thanked and congratulated the residents affected by the
development and the developer for their willingness to negotiate their differences
to resolve this matter in a mutually acceptable manner.
MAP AMENDMENT
Plan Commission — At its meetings on March 20, 2006, April 17, 2006 and May
15, 2006, the Commission completed its review and deliberation on a request
from Brittwood Creek LLC (contract purchaser) on behalf of the property owner,
the Institute of Basic Life Principles, the owners of the 57.52 acres located at the
Southeast Corner of 35"' Street and Rte. 83 for a map amendment from R -1 to R-
2 to accommodate future development of the property for up to 35 single- family
lots. Concurrent to this request, the applicant was also seeking separate
approvals of a preliminary plat of subdivision and several variations and waivers
to the Subdivision Regulations.
Under this request, the applicant sought a change to the zoning on approximately
34.7 acres of the 57.52 acre site. Within the area to remain R -1, the applicant
was proposing the platting of 10 lots. Within the area to be rezoned R -2, the
applicant was proposing 25 lots with lot sizes transitioning in size with the
largest lots being located along the area zoned R -1 to the smallest lots being
located along the frontage of Rte. 83.
Zoning Board of Appeals — At its meetings on July 26, 2006 and November 7,
2006, the Zoning Board of Appeals held the required public hearing and
completed its review and deliberation on a request from Brittwood Creek LLC
(contract purchaser) on behalf of the property owner, the Institute of Basic Life
Principles, the owners of the 57.52 acres located Southeast Corner of 35`' Street
and Rte. 83 for a map amendment from R -1 to R -2 to accommodate future
development of the property.
The petitioner originally sought a change in the zoning from R -1 to R -2 on
approximately 34.7 acres of the 57.52 -acre site.
However, since the public hearing was opened in July, the petitioner and the
objectors (subject parties) to the original request have had ongoing discussions to
reconcile a number of issues that relate to the development of the property.
Based on testimony provided by both the petitioner and the representatives of the
objectors at the November 7, 2006 meeting, a settlement agreement has been
agreed to by the subject parties that address all of the outstanding issues that had
been documented in the case file. Accordingly, a covenant has been recorded
against the subject property which binds the future development of the property
to the agreed upon conditions.
A key element of the agreement is that the total area proposed to be rezoned
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 5 of 17 December 12, 2006
8.A. from R -1 to R -2 has been decreased from 34.7 acres to 28.64 acres. Under this
revised zoning scheme, the total number of lots that could be developed has been
decreased from 35 to 30. The parties also agreed to prohibit the future access to
and use of Breakenridge Farm Road.
Recommendation
Plan Commission — By a vote of 7 to 0 (motion by member Wolin, seconded by
Member Saiyed), the Commission recommended denial of the petitioner's
request for a map amendment from R -1 to R -2 for a portion of the property to
accommodate future development of the property for up to 35 single - family lots.
In making this recommendation to deny, the Plan Commission found that:
1. The applicant has submitted all required documents to the Village for a
map amendment.
2. The current requested map amendment from R -1 to R -2 was reviewed on
March 20, 2006, April 17, 2006 and May 15, 2006.
3. Testimony was presented by the applicant and a team of expert witnesses
supporting the requested map amendment.
4. Testimony was also presented by a number of objectors and their expert
witnesses objecting to the requested map amendment.
5. Testimony was presented by the objectors that also addressed in detail the
LaSalle factors, which governs zoning modifications in Illinois
communities.
6. With respect to the individual LaSalle factors:
a. The objectors have established that the proposed development is not
in keeping with the surrounding land uses and zoning of the 150
contiguous acres (i.e., character of the neighborhood).
b. The objectors have established that the highest and best use of the
subject property is residential but because of the physical
characteristics of the area, not less than two -acre development should
be approved.
C. The objectors have established that the value of the property is not
diminished at all by the current R -1 zoning.
d. The objectors have established that the proposed Brittwood Creek
development does not promote the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the public because the project will significantly
increase the burdens upon municipal services when compared to the
impact of developing the property at its current R -1 zoning.
e. The objectors have established that there is no gain to the public if
developed as proposed.
f. The objectors have established that the residents of the adjacent 79
acres have a right to expect the subject parcel to be developed to the
same standards that existed when the existing R -1 zoning was
adopted.
g. The objectors have established that the property has remained vacant
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 6 of 17 December 12, 2006
8.A. due to the owner's choice.
h. The objectors have established that the proposed development of
Brittwood Creek is inconsistent with the current Oak Brook
Comprehensive Plan.
7. The objectors have established that the plight of the owner is not due to
unique circumstances.
8. The petitioner knew that he was buying the property that is zoned R -1.
9. The objectors have refuted the testimony from the applicant that the
proposed development of Brittwood Creek will not negatively impact the
adjacent properties.
10. The objectors have also provided testimony that the development of
Brittwood Creek is in conflict with the natural area and will be
environmentally unfriendly relative to existing trees, wetlands and wildlife.
Zoning Board of Appeals — By a vote of 6 to 0 (motion by member Young,
seconded by Member Nimry), the Zoning Board of Appeals did not concur with
the Plan Commission recommendation and findings for denial and recommended
approval of the petitioner's modified request for a map amendment from R -1 to
R -2 for 28.64 acres. In making this recommendation for approval, the Zoning
Board found that:
1. The applicant has addressed and satisfied the required factors to
recommend approval of the map amendment as revised, subject to the
recorded covenants and conditions;
2. Development is to be in substantial conformance with the revised zoning
plan and subdivision plat.
Staff Comments
After reviewing all of the information that was submitted on behalf of both the
applicant and the objectors and attending the many meetings that were held by
the Plan Commission and Zoning Board on the proposed Brittwood Creek
project, several important pieces of information need to be highlighted;
1. The original Brittwood Creek (known at that time as Breakenridge
Woods) proposal requested a map amendment that would have resulted in
the creation of 44 lots.
2. The revised Brittwood Creek proposal that was reviewed by the Plan
Commission requested a map amendment that would have resulted in the
creation of 35 lots.
3. The recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals for approval of
the modified map amendment would result in the creation of 30 lots, or a
31.8 percent reduction from the initial request.
4. As part of the Plan Commission deliberations on the Brittwood Creek
zoning amendment, the application of several of the LaSalle Factors was
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 17 December 12, 2006
Airfam
determined to be very close and could have resulted in the Commission
either recommending approval or recommending denial. Even though
both the applicant and objectors provided a detailed analysis of the
LaSalle Factors, the basis for the Plan Commission motion was to concur
with objector's analysis.
5. Both the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals went to great
lengths to ensure that everyone who wanted to participate in the many
meetings that were held had the opportunity to make their voice heard.
6. At the November 7, 2006 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, the objectors
formally withdrew their objections that were raised on the previous map
amendment requests and publicly voiced their support for the revised
zoning amendment which creates the framework for Brittwood Creek to
be developed with 30 single family homes.
Trustee Craig commented that he was originally against this project, but after
seeing what negotiations between residents and developers can accomplish he is
pleased that Oak Brook can work out differences amiably. Trustee Yusuf
concurred reiterating what has been said that sellers have a right to sell and
buyers have a right to buy. Trustee Kennedy also concurred.
Trustee Aktipis also concurred, however he expressed that he did not wish to see
any change of zoning in the Village unless there was overwhelming support of
the residents.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to concur with the
recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals and approve the requested
map amendment from R -1 to R -2 or approximately 28.64 acres of a 57 acre
parcel located at the southeast corner of Route 83 and 35t" Street and authorize
the Village Attorney to draft the necessary ordinance for final consideration at
the January 8, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND VARIATIONS /WAIVERS TO THE
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Backizround
At its meetings on March 20, 2006, April 17, 2006 and May 15, 2006, the Plan
Commission completed its review and deliberation on the requests from
Brittwood Creek LLC (contract purchaser) on behalf of the property owner, the
Institute of Basic Life Principles, the owners of the 57.52 acres located at the
Southeast Corner of 35"' Street and Rte. 83 for a preliminary plat of subdivision
and several variations and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations to
accommodate future development of the property for up to 35 single - family lots.
A separate request for a map amendment to rezone 34.7 acres from R -1 to R -2
was also submitted.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 17 December 12, 2006
8.A. Within the area to remain R -1, the applicant was proposing the platting of 10
lots. Within the area to be rezoned R -2, the applicant was proposing 25 lots with
lot sizes transitioning in size with the largest lots being located along the area
zoned R -1 to the smallest lots being located along the frontage of Rte. 83.
As part of the proposed 35 -lot preliminary plat of subdivision, the applicant
requested several variations /waivers to the Subdivision Regulations as part of
their overall subdivision design. The specific variations /waivers include:

However, since the time that the Zoning Board of Appeals opened the July 26,
2006 public hearing on the proposed map amendment, the petitioner and the
objectors (subject parties) to the original request have had significant discussions
to reconcile a number of issues that relate to the development of the property.
Based on testimony provided by both the petitioner and the representatives of the
objectors at the November 7, 2006 meeting, a settlement agreement has been
agreed to by the subject parties that addresses all of the outstanding issues that
had been documented in the case file. Accordingly, a covenant has been

property to the agreed upon conditions.
A key element of the agreement is that the total area proposed to be rezoned
from R -1 to R -2 has been decreased from 34.7 acres to 28.64 acres. Under this
revised zoning scheme, the total number of lots that could be platted has been
decreased from 35 to 30. In addition, the original list of requested variations and
waivers to the Subdivision Regulations has been reduced to:
• 14 -6 -2A (Design Standards) — seek variation of the standard of minimum

The parties also agreed to prohibit the future access to and use of Breakenridge
Farm Road.
Recommendation
By a vote of 7 to 0 (motion by member Wolin, seconded by Member Saiyed), the
Plan Commission recommended denial of the petitioner's requests for a
preliminary plat of subdivision map for up to 35 single - family lots and variations
and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations based upon the Plan Commission
recommendation to deny the map amendment as the proposed plat would not
conform to the zoning.

The original Brittwood Creek (known at that time as Breakenridge Woods)
proposal requested a map amendment that would have resulted in the
creation of 44 lots.
2.

8. Director Kallien had reviewed the revised preliminary plat for 30 lots with
the Fire Chief who has indicated that even though the proposed emergency
access located in the far northwest corner of the project is not ideal, it is
adequate and meets the Department's objective to ensure at least two points
of access into all projects.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to approve the
petitioner's requests for a revised preliminary plat of subdivision for 30 single -
family lots and variations and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations subject to
the conditions set forth in the November 7, 2006 memorandum from Engineer
Durfey. This motion is based upon the following:

consistent with the revised map amendment;
e. all of the significant issues previously raised by the Fire Chief have been
addressed in the revised plat; and
f. the Village Engineer is recommending that if the Board of Trustees find that
the general concept of the Preliminary Plat is acceptable, it would be
appropriate to approve the Preliminary Plat which includes variations and
waivers to Sections 14 -6 -2A, 14 -6 -3A, and 14 -6 -3E of the Subdivision
Regulations and revising the Plat regarding items 6, 8 and 9 of the
November 7`i' memorandum to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer and
Attorney with the caveat that all other outstanding issues be addressed in the
final plat; and
authorize the Village Attorney to draft the necessary ordinance for final

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 17 December 12, 2006
8.13. Resident, Elaine Iozzo addressed the Board and expressed concern for the
changes in easements. Mr. Cappetta also spoke indicating that there had been
discussions and that the developer worked in good faith, but the Institute had not
moved forward with their agreement and he asked the Board to continue this
matter until details can be worked out.
Discussion ensued as to whether it was advisable to move forward with this step
while residents work out details. It was determined that this was just one step in
the process and it would not be finalized if there were factors that would enter
into the decision for finalization. The petitioner was asked whether there would
be undue stress to the project if this decision was postponed until the next
meeting. He responded that there would be additional costs and time delay, but
that it was not undue stress.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Craig, to continue this matter
until the January 9, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting with the understanding that
the parties would meet to resolve the issue. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.

1) AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE BUDGET OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK
BROOK FOR 2007
On October 25, 2006, the Village Board held a Committee -of -the -Whole
meeting to discuss priorities and major budget issues related to the 2007 Budget.
Based on the consensus of the Board at that meeting, the draft 2007 Budget and
2007 -2011 Five -Year Financial Plan were finalized and were discussed at a
second Committee -of -the Whole meeting on December 4, 2006. It was the
consensus of the Board to place the draft 2007 Budget as presented on the
agenda for the formal Public hearing on December 12, 2006, with formal
consideration expected at the regular Village Board meeting later that same
evening. The final ordinance has been prepared and will include a revenue
exhibit, an expenditure exhibit, and a fund summary.
Trustee Kennedy had concerns relative to several issues. Relative to the issue of
selling a portion of the Village water system that if the sale is not consummated
the Village would be able to institute the pre -set water rate increase effective
January 1, 2007. Village Manager Richard Boehm responded that the Village
would be able to institute the water rates.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 12 of 17 December 12, 2006
9 B. 1) An additional concern, as was also noted by Trustee Aktipis, was that there was
not money in the budget for remediation of the mold issue in the Old Butler
School building which now houses the Historical Society Museum. He wanted
to be assured that if it was determined that the Village has an obligation to deal
with this issue, that the Village would be able to find money to accomplish the
remediation. Trustee Kennedy also expressed concern for the deterioration of
the windows in that building. It was confirmed that the Village has the ability to
transfer funds. Manager Boelun also responded that the Historical Society had a
consultant provide estimates on the replacement of the windows which was in
excess of $180,000 and those funds were not available for this budget.
Trustee Aktipis suggested that the budget be reviewed after sixty days to
determine if there might be funds available for use in maintaining the Old Butler
School.

parking on the South Terminus of Tower Drive - 22nd Street South.
Trustee Yusuf indicated that there was not an imminent need to move on this

9. C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) ELEVATED TANK PAINTING, CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING
SERVICES
On November 14, 20063 the Board authorized staff to negotiate a contract with
Dixon Engineering and Inspection Services for construction related services for
the interior and exterior minor repair and painting of our two elevated water
storage tanks.
The scope of services to be provided by Dixon include: shop drawing review,
preside over pre- construction meeting, pay request review, submittal review
(welders certificate, confined space, fall prevention, etc.), paint sample
collection, daily pre and post welding /painting inspections, and project closeout.
Once the Dixon contract is awarded, staff will solicit competitive bids for the
painting itself. Said bids will then be brought back to the Board for
consideration. As previously noted, due to weather and operational
considerations, the east tank (on Windsor just north of 22"d Str.) will be
scheduled for painting in early spring and the west tank (on Tower Dr. just south
of 22 "d Str.), late fall.
Motion by Trustee Aktipis, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that a contract be
awarded to Dixon Engineering and Inspection Services, Yorkville, Illinois, for
construction engineering services (inspection), subject to staff review, based
upon a lump sum not to exceed an amount of $34,000. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf.

E. REVISION OF TITLE 10 BUILDING REGULATION FEES
Beginning in 2001, the Village Board has approved annual updates to the fee
schedule in Chapter 10 — Building Regulations relative to fees associated with new
construction activities (e.g. permits, plan review and inspections). At that time, the
Board directed that the fee schedule be updated each year to ensure that a goal of
cost recovery be met.
Proposed Update
Consistent with the Board's goal to cover Staff costs; the fee schedule applicable to
the Village's building regulations has been updated. Since the estimated 2007 costs
are proposed to increase by approximately 5 percent, each of the individual fee
amounts have been updated by that amount. Some exceptions can be found where
rounding was necessary or where the previous fee was found to be insufficient to
our cover costs.
One additional change that is being recommended in this update is the need to
refine the fee assessed for residential tents. Since these tents are used by residents
for special events that usually last no more than a day, a base fee of $30 per tent is
being recommended which is less than the $92 fee for commercial tents.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, that the Village
Board approve the recommended changes to the Fee Schedule in Chapter 10 —
Building Regulations and authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary
ordinance for final consideration at the January 9, 2007 meeting. VOICE VOTE:
Motion carried.
F. AMENDMENT TO TITLE 8 PUBLIC WORKS AND TITLE 9 STORMWATER
REGULATIONS
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 15 of 17 December 12, 2006
10. F. The Community Development Department is recommending an increase in plan and
application examination and review fees from $49.00 to $51.00 per hour. Since the
Public Works section and the Stormwater Management section of the Village Code
have similar $49.00 per hour plan review fees, and since it would be unreasonably
cumbersome to have two sets of plan review charges to be administered by the
Community Development Department, Village Engineer, Dale Durfey recommend
that these two sections also be increased to the $51.00 per hour charge.
Motion by Trustee Aktipis, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Village Board
approve the recommended changes to Section 8 -5 -2.A and Section 9 -7 -8.A and
authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for final
consideration at the January 9, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting. VOICE VOTE:
Motion carried.
G. EXTENSION OF PART TIME ACCREDITATION MANAGER POSITION
Since its inception, the position of Accreditation Manager has been held by a full
time sworn police officer. Over the past years, a number of Sergeant's have held the
position including Alan Borkovec. After Alan Borkovec's retirement in 2004 and
with the approval of the Board in 2005, Alan Borkovec was asked to fill this part
time Accreditation Manager position for a period of one year to assist the Village
with both the CALEA mock accreditation and full accreditation process. This
process was completed in November 2006. Due to changes in the CALEA standards
and the familiarity with past CALEA processes', Mr. Borkovec's knowledge can be
used to assure a smooth transition of the department policies and procedures with the
new standards.
Motion by Trustee Yusuf, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to approve the extension
of the accreditation managers part time position for another six month period for the
Police Department. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
