VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES—DECEMBER 11,2018 Page 4
President Lalmalani stated that each Trustee would have five (5) minutes to make their comments
regarding the Planned Development. Trustee Yusuf addressed the flooding concerns and said that
the development would give Oak Brook a component in the housing mix that currently doesn't exist.
He believed the development had been thought out very thoroughly and that it would be a landmark
facility. Trustee Saiyed addressed the stormwater concerns and said that the permit would not be
issued until the plans are approved by all applicable Federal, State, County and local agencies.
Trustee Saiyed also mentioned the fire truck assess and safety concerns. Fire Chief Liss replied that
all of the plans would be thoroughly reviewed, vetted and must comply with the Village's rules and
regulations, in the interest of public safety. The plans would not be approved until they meet all the
requirements. Trustee Cuevas discussed his concerns that the building would have on the
surrounding property values. Trustee Baar cited that he wasn't against development and was in
favor of great architecture. He said he admires the building however it doesn't go along with Lot 4,
the planned unit development and the character of the surrounding area. Trustee Manzo addressed
the concerns regarding stormwater, traffic and the dormant SSA. He said he understood that change
can make people nervous however Oak Brook cannot remain stagnant. He stated that the
development would be good for the future of Oak Brook. Trustee Tiesenga stated that the proposal
is self-refuting and discussed his concerns with the traffic and pedestrian connections.
Scott Day (Day Robert& Morrison) presented a slide of the connections from the condominium
building to Oak Brook Center. He explained that the plan includes pedestrian access as well as a
bike path. The pathway is not just for residents of the building but is also for public pedestrian
access. Discussion ensued regarding the pedestrian connections and the installation cost for the
traffic signal.
After a tie vote, President Lalmalani said that he truly believes that Oak Brook is at a crossroads for
the first time in its history. He said that there are two options, one is to do nothing and Oak Brook
remains at a standstill, and the second option is to move forward. He also said that this is a branding
opportunity for Oak Brook, a high end development with tremendous architectural design. He noted
that the B-2 zoning district has no height restrictions and that he understood the opposition from the
residents. He remarked that this is a delicate balance between enhancing the residential areas and
maintaining open space. He said that Oak Brook needs to move forward and if it doesn't then it is
sending the wrong message to future developers. He stated that he is afraid that Oak Brook could
end up with a property tax and the demise of Paul Butler's dream; therefore, he said he is voting in
favor of the project.
