A. OAK BROOK PARK DISTRICT — 115 CANTERBERRY LANE — MAP
AMENDMENT, SPECIAL USE AND VARIATION
At its meeting on August 22, 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals held the required
public hearings on two separate petitions from the Oak Brook Park District, the
owner of the 40 -acre property located at 115 Canterberry Lane (formerly the Dean
family property). In particular, the District is seeking approval of a map amendment
to rezone the property from R -1 to CR. The Oak Brook Park District facilities are
located at 1450 Forest Gate Road and is also zoned CR. In addition, the District is
also seeking approval of a special use in order to improve the property as an
educational facility.
It is the Park District's intent to improve the property to include educational exhibits
and signage, ADA accessible paths, a canoe launch on Salt Creek, limestone fishing
piers on the pond, two small shelters and a parking lot.
A separate request for variations to the off - street parking requirements is also under
consideration.
Trustee Wolin recognized the comments made by residents and suggested that the
Park District respond to those concerns. Mr. Thomas Truedson of the Park District
Board of Commissioners addressed the Board indicating that he had been the liaison
who spoke with Dorothy Dean and has attempted to work toward fulfilling her
wishes. He indicated that she had seen the plans in 1998 that are before the Board
and approved of them. He added that her gift of the property had very specific
covenants which have all been taken into consideration in development of the
property. He also explained the improvements of the sanctuary and emphasized that
it was being developed for passive usage.
Trustees Wolin and Kennedy described the process that the petitioner went through
to achieve approval of this project and also pointed out the benefits to the
neighborhood compared to how else that property could be used. They also
indicated that with the improvement of the property some of the ongoing problems
in the area should be alleviated. As an example, the parking lot was increased in
size to prevent vehicles from parking in the residential area which is currently
happening.

B. FIFTH THIRD BANCORP AND INSITE OAK BROOK LTD., PARTNERSHIP —
1603 16TH STREET — SPECIAL USE AND VARIATION
At its special meeting on August 22, 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals held the
required public hearings on two separate petitions from InSite Oak Brook Limited
Partnership, the owner of the property at 1603 16th Street and Fifth Third Bancorp,
the planned tenant for the building at 1603 16th Street. They are seeking approval
of: 1.) a special use for a drive -in banking facility and 2.) a variation to Section 13-
7A-3C-l.c of the Zoning Ordinance to permit the constriction of a new drive -in
banking facility.
Both of these requests are also subject to Village Board approval of previously filed
text amendments permitting banks and bank drive -thru facilities in the B -1 District.
The petitioners are proposing the demolition of the existing 18,000 square foot two -
story building on the property and to be replaced with a one - story, 3,796 square foot
bank building with a drive -in banking facility. The drive -in facility will be located
on the south side of the building approximately two feet from the south property line
of lot 2, which is in Oak Brook and approximately 37 feet north of the southern most
boundary of lot 3, which is now in the City of Oakbrook Terrace. A combination of
landscaping and landscape wall/berin are proposed along the west and south sides of
the property to shield cars from view from adjacent residential properties.
hi order to construct the new bank in accordance with the proposed site plan, the
applicants are seeking the variation to use the south boundary line of the north one-
half of lot 3, rather than the district boundary coinciding with the south property line
of lot 2. The existing Private Bank building was granted this same variation back in
1988. If granted, the south edge of the new banking facility would be over 72 feet
from the south boundary line. The building canopy over the drive -in facility would
over 42 feet from the south boundary line.

BANKING FACILITY
The Plan Commission, by a vote of 6 to 0, and the Board of Appeals, by a vote
of 6 to 0, finding that the applicant satisfied the requirements for a special use
have recommended approval of the applicants request for a special use for a
"drive -in banking facility" at 1603 16th Street subject to the following
conditions:

workable.

A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS
1) VILLAGE MANAGER
President Craig announced his appointment of David Niemeyer as Village
Manager.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Saiyed, to concur with
President Craig's appointment of David Niemeyer as permanent Village Manager
and execute the contract as agreed by the Board in a consensus at the closed

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 9 of 13 SEPTEMBER 11, 2007
9. C. 1) WEBCAST OF VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETINGS,
VIDEOTAPING OF VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETINGS AND
VIDEOTAPING OF PLAN COMMISSION AND ZONING BOARD OF
APPEALS MEETINGS
The Village has utilized the videographic services provided by Sunrise
Communications since that firm was awarded the initial contract following a bid
procedure in 2000. Sunrise has never raised its rates since that time (7 years).
The primary difference between the two videographic contracts is that Village
Board meetings are always edited for broadcast on the cable channel ($400 total
video cost per meeting), whereas the Planning meetings are not edited (they are
not broadcast, so $200 video cost per meeting).
This difference also creates the differential costs for webcasting meetings - $100
per Village Board meeting (already has been edited for cable broadcast) vs. $200
per Planning meeting (includes editing in order to be webcast).
The reason for the minimum charge per meeting ($400 for Board meetings and
$200 for Plarming meetings) is because Sunrise sets aside the entire evening for
our meetings, whether or not they go for 30 minutes or 4 hours. He is unable to
book any other clients for those evenings.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Village Board
approve three -year contracts with Sunrise Communications, Inc., Westmont, IL for
videographic and webeast services as described in the three attached contracts,
based on the unit costs contained in each contract. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
2) OLD BUTLER SCHOOL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM UPGRADE
At the June 26`" Board meeting, formal bids were waived and staff was authorized
to obtain written quotes for upgrading and modifying the fire suppression system
at the Old Butler School. In brief, said work would bring the building into fire
code compliance and would allow for the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Since the meeting, considerable time was spent soliciting and meeting with
numerous companies specializing in fire suppression systems. Eventually, three
known and qualified companies submitted price quotes on the following required
work.
• Modification of the existing sprinkler piping system to properly zone the
building

ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.
D. 3005 COOLIDGE STREET - SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE LICENSE
At the Village Board meeting of May 22, 2007, the Village Board directed staff to
prepare a policy to allow a private sump pump discharge line across Village
property. The "License" has been developed after consultation with Acting Village
Attorney Peter Friedman. The document has been executed by the property owners
and submitted as part of their permit package.
Should the Village Board approve the License, it will be recorded so that the current
and future property owners are made aware of their responsibility.
Since the Village Board, at its May 22nd meeting, expressed general agreement to
the concept of approving a sump pump discharge pipe across this property, and since
an appropriate legal document has been drafted and executed by the applicant, it
appears that this matter is ripe for consideration and approval by the Village Board.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, that the Village Board
approve the License for 3005 Coolidge Street and authorize the Village President
and Clerk to sign the "Approval of License ". ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
