Kallien Jr. Director of Community Development Village of Oak Brook 1200 Oak Brook Rd. Oak Brook IL 60523 October 18, 2004 RE: Pending Heliport Special Use Permit Dear Bob, I am writing as a follow-up to the last Village of Oak Brook Zoning Board meeting held on October 5th 2004. 1 felt it necessary to update you on recent meetings with corporate residents and homeowners in the area. Since the Zoning Board meeting, CenterPoint Properties has met with Jim Slinkman, Assistant General Counsel of Advocate Health Care (at 2025 Windsor Drive) and come to agreement on operating measures that we will abide by in order to alleviate Advocate's concern about our proposed Heliport. These items were detailed in a letter 1 transmitted to you on October 8, 2004. Further discussion with Advocate has led us to agree that we would like to make minor modifications to our letter agreement and enlist your assistance to have it made part of the file and the Village of Oak Brook special use permit. On October 13, 2004 1 met with the Forest Glen Home Owners Association, Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meeting. I presented them with an aerial photo and site plan detailing our heliport and the planned approach/departure surface. I explained our plans and fielded questions regarding our intentions. Mr. Harry Peters and the other board members were cordial and indicated that they understood our plans and they intended to meet in private to decide on their strategy going forward. Additionally I had a brief conversation with Amy Pena of Lions International. She had a concern about landscaping in the area between 2001 York Road and their property. We agreed to provide a low hedge row on the south border of our property to buffer them. I anticipate having our final letter agreement between Advocate and CenterPoint Properties in the next several days, and I will forward it to you to include in the Village Board members packages for the meeting on the 26th of October. Very truly yours, Chuck Henschel Vice President-Airport Investment & Development PvE OF 041( o O y C O A 2 9CF C r OUNT'i Village of October 19, 2004 Oak Brook Village President Quinlan and Board of Trustees 1200 Oak Brook Road Oak Brook,IL 60523-2256 Village of Oak Brook Website 1200 Oak Brook Road www.oak-brook.org Oak Brook, IL 60523 Administration 630.990.3000 SUBJECT: CenterPoint Properties Trust on behalf of York Road Properties, FAX 630.990.0876 LLC—2001 York Road - Special Use—Heliport Community Development Dear President Quinlan and Board of Trustees: 630.990.3045 FAX 630.990.3985 At its October 5, 2004 meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals held the required Engineering public hearing on a request from CenterPoint Properties Trust on behalf of York Department Road Properties, LLC, seeking approval of a special use in order to construct and 630.990.3010 operate a heliport.

Dear Jim, I am writing in response to our recent discussion regarding our pending proposal with the Village of Oak Brook for a heliport special use permit. In order to address Advocate Health Care's concerns regarding our construction of a heliport on the vacant land at 2001 York Road, CenterPoint Properties will agree to the following design modifications and operational limitations: • We will move the FATO (Final Approach and Take Off Area) to the west as far as reasonably possible within the existing paved area. • The primary approach/departure surface will be to and from the west. CenterPoint will utilize this approach and departure surface in order to minimize approach and departure around or over 2025 Windsor Drive. Approaches and departures around or over 2025 Windsor Dr. would be limited to those approaches and departures which are reasonably necessary in order to comply with safety precautions for flying helicopters. • As per our pending special use permit request we will limit our uses to 10 uses per month. A use is defined as a 3 hour period when we would arrive pick up passengers, depart to do our property tour& return to deliver our passengers back to Oak Brook. (We do not intend to have the helicopter sit on the helipad for an extended period of time). • We will limit the helicopter aircraft to a passenger type with a maximum capacity of 6 passengers. • way restrict Advocate HealthCare s its successors and/or assigns, We will not in an and any record owner of the property commonly known as 2025 Windsor Dr. Oak Brook, IL.) ability to expand or replace their current facilities at 2025 Windsor in Oak Brook.

LLC-2001 YORK USE TITLE 13 ZONING ORDINANCE — SECTION 13-10E-2 — 0-4 ROAD-SPECIAL DISTRICT—TO ALLOW A HELIPORT ON THE PROPERTY USE-HELIPORT Chairman Davis swore in Charles Henschel, Vice President of Airport Investment and Development and Fred Reynolds, Senior Vice President of Development, both with CenterPoint Properties who were representing the petitioner. Mr. Henschel reviewed the request. They reside at 1808 Swift Drive and have been in Oak Brook as a corporate resident for about 7 years. They are a real estate investment trust and specialize in large industrial developments. They are a publicly traded company and happy to be in Oak Brook. They are seeking a special use for a heliport at 2001 York Road which is owned by the John Buck Company. They chose the site based on the review and recommendation of the IDOT Department of Aeronautics who visited and looked at several locations. This site was recommended as the safest location and most logical location. The John Buck Company gave them an agreement that they could operate it. Chairman Davis asked for the details of the agreement. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 4 of 15 October 5, 2004 *7• Mr. Henschel responded that it is a 7 acre parcel that adjoins a 5 story building and an elevated parking structure that joins the lot they will be operating on. It has been developed in such a manner that the John Buck Co. could develop another building there, but it would require additional elevated parking in order to accommodate the building. Mr. Buck does not see a need for it at the present time and the market has not demanded it. He told them that they could use the real estate as long as it was available; and with 90 days notice they have agreed to vacate the property if he chose to develop it for an office building or another use. Chairman Davis asked what was involved in constructing a heliport. Mr. Henschel said that there is an existing asphalt pad on the location. It would require some additional striping and additional landscaping and a small additional piece of asphalt pad to raise the area 3 or 4 inches to provide for reasonable runoff and to keep the area clear of ice or snow in the winter time. Beyond that, it requires the IDOT Department of Aeronautics subsequent review and approval, after they have made their preliminary review. Chairman Davis asked the petitioner to address the standards. Mr. Henschel said that the standards are first set forth first by IDOT Transportation and Aeronautics. They were presented with preliminary engineering, reviewed it and it was indicated that it met the state criteria and would meet the FAA criteria. They indicated before IDOT could grant their approval, the Village had to approve it. Mr. Henschel said that the FAA and IDOT have fairly stringent safety standards. There cannot be any obstructions in the surrounding area. It is required to provide a 5 to 1 slope for access and egress for both for the primary and secondary access points, that would provide ample safe access and egress of a helicopter in windy conditions. Since the request is for daylight use only, it would not require any addition of lighting or any other avionic equipment, like beacons or the like. They provided a response to the type of operation, safety, noise limitations set forth in the Village Code to the Plan Commission and they identified and responded to those requests. Chairman Davis said that one of the Village's standards is that the special use is so designed, proposed and operated so that the public health, safety VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 5 of 15 October 5, 2004 177 • • and welfare would be protected. He questioned that this is a similar safety standard as required by IDOT and the FAA Mr. Henschel responded that it is; and IDOT and the FAA have it as their primary concern for the safety of the surrounding residences and office tenants. Chairman Davis asked that he address the second standard for a special use which is that the proposed use would not cause substantial injury to other property in the neighborhood. Mr. Henschel responded that they specifically chose this location because it was surrounded by office buildings and felt that it would add an asset to the community much more than it would be a detriment. Chairman Davis noted the location was surrounded by office buildings and two tollways and asked what was discussed by the Plan Commission . Mr. Henschel said that the consensus of Plan Commission was that the design would be in accordance with the Village and IDOT; that the hours of operation would be between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. during the week and only on Sunday with advance notice; no refueling, maintenance or storage; it would only be there for picking up passengers leaving and bringing back the passengers and lift off. Mr. Henschel said that the helicopter is not owned; it is leased for approximately 20 hours per month. It is not used for convenience; it is used as a mainstay to their business which is large industrial developments. It is likely that the use would be six times per month and in no way would it exceed ten times per month. If they every felt it they would require more than that the Village would need to be contacted for that. Jim Slinkman, Associate General Counsel for Advocate Health Care was sworn in by Chairman Davis. He said that Advocate is in a one-story building located at 2025 Windsor Drive. They have some concerns regarding the heliport. The flight path is immediately over their building and they have invested a substantial amount of money in the property over the last two years to build a parking garage. They have a grave concern that a flight path that goes over the top of their building would severely damage their property in terms of the future value of their property. It is an old one-story warehouse. If they would decide in the future to build another building, they would be severely impacted by the flight path going VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 6 of 15 October 5, 2004 f right over it, so there would be damage to their property. The parking lot is about 60 yards from their building,which they think is too close for their employees as well as people visiting their building. Advocate is familiar with aircraft and operates helicopters for patient safety to various hospitals, not for corporate convenience, and they are a dangerous business in terms of crashing. They believe that the way Windsor Drive curves around to the north of their property people do not follow the posted traffic limits, and their fear is that with helicopters it can only increase traffic safety as well as helicopters crashing. Chairman Davis asked the applicant to address the concerns. Mr. Reynolds said that they did receive some notification back from Advocate Health and some others in the file and they did try to responsibly address those concerns and clean up any misconceptions. They did respond to the President and CEO of Advocate and personally hand delivered a letter to the office of the President and CEO of Advocate. Mr. Slinkman said that he did not see the letter because the President is out of the country. Mr. Reynolds summarized what was in the letter. He said that they do rely on the safety as required by the IDOT Dept. of Aeronautics as well as the FAA. The helicopter uses pretty much a vertical ascent and descent. The flight paths shown are in the event a helicopter has to land in high winds that they do come in a horizontal approach. The normal practice will be vertical and the primary approach is over York Road and the approach over Advocate would be the secondary approach. He cannot see where there would be property damage in a typical operation. This is not an illusion of "executive convenience" as it was referred to. Quite to the contrary, they have over 46,000,000 outstanding shares of common traded stock at CenterPoint and they do tour from time all the analysts and stockholders that want to see their properties. They also have clientele that want to see properties. These are scheduled tours as needed on the request of their customers as well as the ownership to tour properties. They have 39,000,000 square feet of industrial property in the greater Chicagoland area which is very difficult to get to by car. These are very large acreage properties ranging from 100 to 2200 acres and they have 3200 acres of vacant land that is entitled for development that they tour from time to time. They also take out public officials to see how certain developments fit into their community. It is a multi-purpose use which is quite contrary to executive convenience. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 7 of 15 October 5, 2004 Mr. Henschel commented that a private heliport and special use permit does not take away any property rights. If Advocate decides to build a 6- story building, then they have to find alternate means to come and go. It is not a fixed wing public airport. Chairman Davis asked if it is normal that the helicopter travels vertically and that the flight paths shown on the plans signify when the helicopter is not flying vertically. Mr. Henschel agreed and said that in general unless winds prevent otherwise the helicopter will not be approaching or departing over Advocates property. They will ascent to 1,000 feet. A helicopter does not hover for any length of time. Mr. Young said that if Advocate raises the height of the building, the FAA would appropriately adjust whatever flight restrictions they have over that building. Mr. Slinkman said that they have had terrible experiences with the FAA in terms of building heights as it relates to the area surrounding O'Hare airport. They understand that there may be a difference between a heliport and a fixed wing airport. Chairman Davis noted that Advocate has an absolute right to construct a building up to 5 stories without the need of a public hearing. Director of Community Development Kallien said that Advocate would only need to apply for a building permit to construct a 5-story building. He asked how the FAA would be notified. Mr. Henschel said that the operator is required and bound by the operator agreement to get in touch with IDOT and have its Flight Safety Inspector come out to inspect the site. This is the inspector who comes out and inspects the site on a bi-annual basis. Member Young questioned whether the petitioner has checked any vibration issues that may impact the buildings. Mr. Heschel responded that they reviewed the vibration criteria set forth in the Village Code and they were told by the helicopter operator that it fell well within the Code and will not be any problem to comply with. Member Young questioned what type of helicopter would be used. Mr. Henschel said that it was a Euro-copter AS 355 multi-engine capable of carrying 5 passengers. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 8 of 15 October 5, 2004 Member Young questioned the Village's ability to respond to an aircraft accident appropriately. Director of Community Development Kallien said that ultimately that is a question only the public safety personnel could answer. However, they handle any call that comes. Currently, the Village is within the flight paths of O'Hare airport. There is a fully functioning heliport at McDonald's right now and helicopters do land there. There have been a number of these special uses approved over the years. Currently, there is one at OAG that is not operative right now. Given the prior approvals he would say that the Village is comfortable with that type of feature in the community. There are conditions in terms of fueling on site, and then the Fire Dept would be involved. There are helicopters that come into the Village now to bring in air conditioning units for the office buildings and the shopping center. Member Young questioned if public safety assistance would be provided when they land. Director of Community Development Kallien said that they do not currently provide that with the McDonald's special use. There are special provisions in place for McDonald's. They do adhere to the requirements that the Village has set forth for heliports. When the Plan Commission reviewed this matter they had not heard from Advocate or the Homeowner Association. They did forward their best information to the Zoning Board and then this Board also gets the benefit of the public hearing notice. Chairman Davis asked them what their plans were from a timing standpoint. Mr. Henschel said that it will take about 60-90 days to fulfill the requirements by IDOT and at the same time they intend to apply to the Village for an asphalt permit. Hopefully, they would be able to get the asphalt in this fall. Chairman Davis said that Mr. Slinkman has not had a chance to review his letter with his client. The Zoning Board just received a letter from the Forest Glen Homeowners Association and he believes their concerns should be addressed. One of the concerns is that the helicopter would be hovering overhead in the morning or evening. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 9 of 15 October 5, 2004 I �� Mr. Henschel responded that they also have just seen the letter and do not have any intention of hovering at all. Mr. Reynolds responded that in response to the additional traffic theory, he said that any additional traffic is negligible. The total operation of a tour is that it is booked from days to 4 hours in advance. Typically it would be after 9 a.m. and would be a 2 to 3 hour tour. They would meet at the heliport by car, so no real stress of additional traffic. They are up and on their way, there is no hovering like a traffic helicopter would do over the highway like they do for news radio. The whole operation from car to helicopter to takeoff is approximately under five minutes. The same thing happens in reverse when they land. They are not on York or 22°d Street. The noise relating from hovering is not then intent or a likely practice. Chairman Davis said that there is a buffer of trees between the site and the Forest Glen Homeowner Association. Mr. Reynolds said that it is approximately one-half mile from the site. Chairman Davis asked what the noise standards were. Director of Community Development Kallien said that they are required to follow the Village's Performance standards and they have responded to those on page H of the case file. The basic standard is 72 decibels, which is similar to a lot of other noise ordinances. Member Young said that 72 decibels would be comparable to a loud car stereo, maybe a little louder. Most standard machinery in an industrial plant operates around 50-60 decibels. Mr. Henschel said that their operator indicated that they could meet the local zoning requirements with respect to noise. He also said that the substantial amount of noise is within the direct proximity below the landing and takeoff area. It does not migrate to a large amount; it migrates vertically, but not horizontally. It's there and it is gone. Mr. Reynolds added that the Performance Standards as required by Ordinance would be met. He added that another comment in the letter is that there are other heliports in the area. They have not had any luck accessing McDonald's heliport. O'Hare airport, Joliet as well as a construction site in McCook, which has been deemed to be a legal spot to land is typically where they have gone. These sites tend to be intermittent and the need is such that they need to have something to rely on at least for the short haul. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes Page 10 of 15 October 5, 2004 /�r • • Chairman Davis said that he hoped that Mr. Slinkman's concerns have been addressed. In view of the fact that the Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation and the Village Board has to pass and approve this request, they will have a further chance to review their letter with the CEO and if there are still concerns, Advocate would be able to present them to the Board of Trustees, which is a safety factor and the Village Board would consider their concerns very seriously. Mr. Reynolds said that as a good neighbor they would be happy to sit down with them and discuss any issues with them. Member Young said that he does not think that noise is going to be the issue from a public safety standpoint. The greater risk is going to come from traffic, people watching the aircraft coming in and out, so there will be the probability of accidents happening in and along the streets. Vibration is still going to happen. The noise is a temporary issue. Chairman Davis said that it appears that the standards have been met in writing and in testimony by the petitioner for the grant of a special use. The matter has been before the Plan Commission and they have recommended approval unanimously, subject to conditions set forth in the recommendation letter from Chairwoman Payovich on pages 14 and 14.a of the case file. Motion by Chairman Davis, seconded by Member Shah that the petitioner has addressed the special use standards on page F of the case file and the Performance standards have been met as required on page H of the case file to recommend approval of the special use request for the heliport as proposed to be located at 2001 York Road. 1. It is to be operated as detailed on page G and G-1 of the case file. 2. The proposed special use is deemed reasonable and does not appear to jeopardize the public health, safety or general welfare of any ply. 3. The use is to be limit to no more than 10 times per month, 7 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It may not be used on Sunday unless the Village of Oak Brook is notified and has approved the use in advance. 4. Operation of the proposed heliport will be constructed and operated in accordance to the Village of Oak Brook and IDOT standards. 5. Operation of the proposed heliport is predicated on receiving IDOT approval.

Motion Carried. Chairman Davis suggested that the petitioner get in touch with Mr. Slinkman from Advocate Health. Director of Community Development suggested that the Petitioner also get in touch with the Forest Glen Homeowner Association prior to the Village Board Meeting. 5. B. BUTLER NATIONAL GOLF CLUB — 2616 YORK ROAD — VARIATION — TITLE 9 — STORMWATER FLOODPLAIN and SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL REGULATIONS — SECTION 9-6-3.V — TO ALLOW THE RELOCATION OF BUNKERS AND TEE BOXES WITHIN THE FLOODWAY OF SALT CREEK Chairman Davis swore in the petitioner's Patrick Kelsey, Environmental Resources Manager and Darren Olson, Water Resources Engineer, both with Christopher B. Burke, Engineering. Mr. Kelsey said that they need a variance from the Oak Brook Ordinance, which mirrors the DuPage Countywide Stormwater Ordinance for a variance in the floodplain in that recreational use of a golf course in the floodway is specifically excluded as a use within the floodway. Butler Golf Course is unique in that 55 acres, which is approximately 32% of the golf course, is in the floodway not the floodplain. The floodway is that portion of the area that floods during a 100-year flood that has flowing water in it. It is unique not only in the Village, but throughout the county there are a number of places that have golf courses in the floodplain; but the floodway is very constricted. In the case of Butler it occupies a third of the course. The request for this variance, which is supported by the DuPage County Stormwater Committee, is to allow the bunkers and tees to be realigned to take them out of the floodplain storage and to raise the tees up out of the floodway. The reason to do this is to improve the play of the course and to protect the tees during a 100-year flood event. No one expects that the tees or greens would be playable during an event or immediately after, but the course wants the ability to return to its use as soon as possible after a flood event. This will allow them to return the course to use more quickly. Chairman Davis commented that it 1987 it look a while to clear the water off the course.

Skogsbergh President & CEO Advocate Health Care 2025 Windsor Drive Oak Brook IL 60523 October 1, 2004 Subject: 2001 York Road Heliport- special use application. Dear Mr. Skogsbergh, I am writing in response to your September 28, 2004 letter to Robert L. Kallien, Jr. -Director of Community Development for the Village of Oak Brook. I would like to provide background information regarding our pending proposal with the Village of Oak Brook for a heliport special use permit. CenterPoint Properties has undertaken extensive study& engineering prior to selecting the site at 2001 York Road. This has included several visits from the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT)—Aeronautics Division. In fact it was their helicopter which landed on the site(legally)with the full knowledge of the Oak Brook Village Manager as well as the Fire Chief&their staff. The IDOT Aeronautics Division, Flight Safety Coordinator, reviewed sites on Swift Drive as well as the site on York Road, and chose the York Road location as being the safest and most appropriate for our use. In their review they took into account adjacent roads, traffic flows, and building locations or proximity. If your concern about the safety, visibility and the speed of traffic on Windsor Drive and Bliss Road is an issue then it should be addressed by the Village of Oak Brook and the Oak Brook Police independently of our application. We will not be accessing or leaving the site in a manner whereby we will ever be within 30 feet of any automobile traffic. With respect to the noise of our helicopter, we will comply with the Village noise limits as described in the special use section of the Oak Brook Village code. We anticipate the noise will be concentrated within the 2001 York Road property and only occur for a short period of time, (during takeoff and landing)very infrequently. The primary approach& departure surface will be the area depicted on the diagram extending to the west of the 2001 York property, and the aircraft will be at a high altitude when it crosses York Road. The future development of property by any of the surrounding land owners will not be affected, impacted or harmed in any way by our special use permit. Our special use permit as well as our heliport license will be restricted by any future construction on the 2001 York Road property as well as any future construction that is undertaken by the surrounding neighbors. Unlike a public airport, our special use permit request&future heliport IDOT&FAA license(which is reviewed and periodically renewed by IDOT)will not in any way diminish the adjoining land owner's rights. It is our intention to construct and operate the heliport in the safest and most neighborly fashion. CenterPoint Properties is not constructing the heliport for"executive convenience" as you indicated in your letter, but in order to facilitate property tours of our larger real estate developments in the Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana region. These property tours for our clients and investors are an integral part of our business, and are necessary to the future livelihood of our company. It is our hope that by providing you with the above referenced information, that you will reconsider your objections to our request for a special use permit for our proposed heliport.

Kallien, Jr. Director, Community Development Village of Oak Brook 1200 Oak Brook Road Oak Brook, IL 60523 RE: 2001 YORK ROAD—SPECIAL USE APPLICATION FILED BY CENTERPOINT PROPERTIES TRUST TO CONSTRUCT A HELIPORT Dear Mr. Kallien, Advocate Health Care Network recently received your letter dated September 16, 2004 regarding the above referenced matter. Our corporate office is located at 2025 Windsor Drive,which is immediately to the east(across Windsor Drive) of the proposed heliport. Our property is depicted on the exhibit to your letter in the Approach/Departure Surface (a copy of which is attached to this letter). Advocate also leases the property immediately to the west of York Road at 2100 York,which is also depicted in the Approach/Departure Surface. We are writing to express our great concern for this proposed use. If the Village were to grant this proposed use, our employees,property and company could potentially be caused great harm. Our concerns with this use are based on safety to our employees,noise which would disturb our operations and potential future damage to the value of our property. Advocate does use helicopters at its major trauma centers so we are familiar with the problems helicopters create. However,this proposed use is for executive convenience and not for life safety issues. As you are aware, Centerpoint Properties Trust has its offices on Swift Drive, approximately %2 mile from the proposed heliport, and ironically they are proposing to construct a heliport approximately 60 yards from our building and significantly closer to our existing surface parking lot. It is our understanding that the proposed use would be restricted in its use to no more than perhaps 6 times per month,no night landings,no refueling and no overnight storage on the property. These restrictions do not alleviate our concerns. In fact, on several occasions this summer,there has been a helicopter in the proposed special use area. If this was an illegal landing, how can we be confident that other restrictions will be followed. Helicopters pose a significant safety concern for our employees and building. In addition to the obvious concern about our building in the flight path and a potential crash into our building or parking lot, we also have concerns about increased automobile accidents on Windsor Drive. Automobiles heading southbound on Windsor Drive rarely follow the posted speed limit and already create a dangerous condition to the automobiles that pull out of our parking lot or Bliss Drive. It is very difficult to see automobiles heading around the curve on Windsor Drive, www.advocatehealth.com Related to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the United Church of Christ 13. Robert L.Kallien,Jr. • • September 28,2004 Page 2 already create a dangerous condition to the automobiles that pull out of our parking lot or Bliss Drive. It is very difficult to see automobiles heading around the curve on Windsor Drive, especially if they are exceeding the speed limit. Adding a helicopter flying approximately 30 feet above any automobiles will only serve to increase the danger of automobiles coming from Bliss Drive or our parking lot. Helicopters also create a significant amount of noise in a densely populated office park. As previously stated, the flight path for a helicopter would go directly over our building, and more specifically the north part of our building. The north part of our building contains a call center for our patients and their families, and we have concerns that this use and the resulting noise factor will potentially harm that call center. If this special use were permitted by the Village, the result could cause economic harm to our property. The Federal Aviation Administration and the Illinois Department of Transportation have to approve this landing area and flight path. Any future development of property located within a flight path may have to obtain the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration. Advocate has recently spent a considerable amount of money to construct a parking garage on our property along Bliss Drive. Any future development of our property including creating a second story on our building or constructing a new building could be negatively impacted if the Village were to grant this special use. In essence, there is an argument that a taking is occurring without constitutional just compensation. In contrast, Centerpoint Properties does not even own the parking lot on which they propose to build this heliport. We would request that the Village trustees and zoning board of appeals deny this special use. Thank you, in advance, for considering the concerns outlined in this letter. Should you have any questions,please contact me at (630) 990-5008. Very truly yours, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK '�a -<�—' 4 James H.

LLC-2001 YORK USE — TITLE 13 ZONING ORDINANCE — SECTION 13-IOE-2 — 0-4 ROAD-SPECIAL DISTRICT—TO ALLOW A HELIPORT ON THE PROPERTY USE-HELIPORT Director of Community Development Kallien said that the owner of 2001 York Road has submitted an application for a Special Use for a heliport on behalf of Centerpoint Properties. Centerpoint Properties is located on Swift and have searched for a place to land helicopters. They have developed this proposal with York Road Properties to locate the heliport at this location. Chuck Henschel, Centerpoint Properties, Vice President of Airport Investment and Development, reviewed the request. They are seeking a heliport for infrequent use. Centerpoint Properties has been a commercial resident for about six years from downtown Chicago. They are a billion and half dollar real estate investment trust public traded company. They are very happy in Oak Brook, some live in the community and in the surrounding communities. The prettiest property they own is their corporate offices in Oak Brook. They have about six acres of land. They have a need for a heliport facility. Currently they use a quarry in Elmhurst. Their heliport requirement is driven by their far reaching portfolio. Most of VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Plan Commission Minutes Page 2 of 7 September 20, 2004 their heliport use would be for their Wall Street Investors and for some of their clients for the purpose of when you are involved in a 400-500 acre development a lot more can be seen from the air than from the ground. The helicopter use is limited to a maximum of 20 hours per month, which equates to about 4-5 uses per month. They actually lease time on a helicopter that is kept either at the DuPage airport or one of the other surrounding airports. Currently they take their clients and investors onto the helicopter. They go off for a one or two hour tour of the Chicagoland area or Milwaukee and come back. Essentially it is a drop off and pick up point. They had noticed that there was an empty parcel at 2001 York Road that has been empty for years. His understanding that the parcel was designed for development, but requires a significant amount of structured parking. They thought that it was unlikely that it would be developed in the near term. They looked near and far for locations. They contacted OAG and McDonald's. McDonald's said that they love their own heliport but they like it for their own use and have no inclination to let anyone else use it. They also contacted OAG and they said they no longer use it and had no inclination to have anyone else use it. The John Buck Co. had indicated that they would be more than willing to let them use it and to have the use of it occasionally (even though they do not have the use of a helicopter). They have had a preliminary meeting with Gary Stevens from the Illinois Dept of Aeronautics and viewed all the sites. They have had their aviation consultant do a preliminary design and they both indicated that it is feasible. Member Bulin questioned the two 5 to 1 approach/departure paths. Although they are the same slope they are shown as different lengths. Mr. Henschel responded that according to the State Department of Aeronautics one has to be considered a primary approach and one would be considered a secondary approach. They indicated that a primary approach would be to and from the west and the secondary approach would be more appropriate to and from the east. There was a slight concern regarding the water tower and a flag pole,but they thought those were insignificant impediments. Member Wolin asked the following: How many heliports are in Oak Brook; What experiences have we had with them; Are there any located closer than 1300 feet to residential property; and can the usage be restricted? Director of Community Development Kallien responded that there are 2 in Oak Brook. One at McDonalds and one behind CL-TV. Over time helicopters have landed in Oak Brook, including those for emergency services. In the time he has been here, it is barely noticed that a VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Plan Commission Minutes Page 3 of 7 September 20, 2004 44. helicopter comes and goes. The helicopters are less noisy than they previously were. The ability to accommodate helicopters is something that fits within the corporate image of Oak Brook. This request is logical. The only impediment seen is that they are locating on property that is developable. The John Buck Company has a plan in place for one or two office buildings in that location. If that should come, it may be possible to seek an amendment to the special use to perhaps relocate the heliport to the top of a building or parking deck. Member Bulin asked if a lease arrangement was in place. Mr. Henschel said they do have a lease. There is an understanding that with 90 days notice, if they should choose to develop the land they would have to make alternate arrangements. Member Adrian asked if they looked into Oak Brook Hills and whether or not they would have fueling capabilities on the site? Mr. Henschel responded that fueling is disallowed in the current zoning and they have no expectation of and no intention of it. Chairwoman Payovich clarified that basically the site would be used to land and take off. Mr. Henschel responded that was correct. Director of Community Development Kallien said that the Zoning Ordinance text would need to be changed to allow fueling and the Fire Department would want to be involved in the design or on site. The Ordinance is very clear about not allowing fueling on the site. Member Wolin asked about restricting the amount of usage per month. He also said that it makes sense to have a heliport there. Chairwoman Payovich said that they are requesting usage of 3 to 6 times per month. Member Wolin said that he would suggest a limit of 10 times per month. Mr. Henschel said that they would be willing to accept usage at 10 times per month. At this point their usage has not operated more than 6 to 7 times per month. It is uncommon that they reach their limit of 20 hours per month. The average operation is about 3 hours, by the time they come in land, pick up passengers, make the tour and then finally land again at the end of the trip. It is portal to portal so the helicopter goes back to DuPage airport. Member Braune said that he is in support and agrees that there should be a limit. Mr. Henschel commented that they do not want to develop an air VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Plan Commission Minutes Page 4 of 7 September 20, 2004 taxi. They are in the real estate business and they would be willing to work with the Village if there are emergency needs or extraordinary requests. Their expectation is to use it 5 or 6 times a month and 10 times is well within the parameters. Member Goel said that there may be circumstances when someone may want to use the heliport and asked if they would be wiling to accommodate them within certain limits. Mr. Henschel responded that they would with the understanding that they are beholding to the John Buck Company and the same commitment has been made to them that they would not use it for other people's use unless they are given prior notice. Chairwoman Payovich said that in the material the use was stipulated for their use only with the exception of the John Buck Company. Director of Community Development Kallien said that the utilization would have to be within the constraints and limitations and the spirit of whatever is stipulated in the special use ordinance. Circumstances arise with an unforeseen situation and as long as the ordinance is written in a way that can accommodate that, then it would be allowed. Director of Community Development Kallien reviewed the standards for a special use on page F of the case file. It is something that fits in with what Oak Brook is. The Ordinance talks about the Performance Standards that the applicant has addressed on page H. It appears that the applicant's response provided they will not be violation of those requirements. I No one in the audience spoke in support of or in opposition to the request. Member Wolin asked if the homeowners had been notified. Gail Polanek responded that the surrounding homeowners were notified, the Homeowner's Associations were notified, all with a copy of the flight pattern. Director of Community Development Kallien said that someone could still appear at the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. Member Adrian asked what type of helicopter would be used. Mr. Henschel responded that it was a twin turbo engine. Motion by Member Wolin, seconded by Member Braune that the petitioner has met the special use standards as detailed on page F of the case file and has met the Performance standards as required on page H of the case file to recommend approval of the special use request for the heliport as proposed VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Plan Commission Minutes Page 5 of 7 September 20, 2004 0 to be located at 2001 York Road.

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK — TEXT AMENDMENT — TITLE 13 OF VOB-TEXT AMENDMENT- THE VILLAGE CODE — ZONING ORDINANCE — CHAPTER 14 — CH I4-AMEND ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT — AN AMENDMENT TO NOTIFICATION THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS Director of Community Development Kallien said that at the present time the Village of Oak Brook clearly meets he state statues relative to notification. For public hearings a notice is placed in the newspaper, there is a direct mailing summarizes the request and the date, time and location of the public hearing to all property owners within 250 feet. As a courtesy a letter is provided to all the active homeowner associations that are recognized by the Village so that they can inform those in their subdivisions. Over the course of history of Oak Brook it has worked well. We occasionally have people that come in and say they know nothing about the action being requested. They didn't read the paper; they did not fall within the 250-foot requirement; the homeowner's association did not tell them anything; if it is on the cable or on the internet, they did not see it and did not know it was happening. Most towns around us provide something of this nature. A sign is placed upon the property identifying it as a property that there is going to be an upcoming public hearing.

Purpose: The development and execution of this Title is based upon the division of the Village into districts,within any one of which the use of land and buildings and the bulk and location of buildings or structures,as related,to the land, are essentially uniform.It is recognized,however, that there are special uses which,because of their unique character, cannot be properly permitted in particular districts without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring lands and upon public need for the particular use or the particular location. Such special uses fall into two (2) categories: 1. Uses operated by public agency or publicly-regulated utilities, or uses traditionally affected with a public interest. 2.Uses entirely private in character,but of such a nature that the operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property or public facilities such as,but not limited to, single-family attached and semi-detached dwellings,horizontal condominiums and other residential developments. B. Authority: Special uses shall be authorized or denied by the Village Board in accordance with the statutes of the State applicable to amendments of this Title,and the regulations and conditions set forth in this Title for special uses. No application for a special use shall be acted upon by the Village Board until after: 1. A written report is prepared and forwarded to the Board of Appeals and the Village Board by the Plan Commission in a manner prescribed herein for amendments to this Title; and 2. A public hearing has been held by the Zoning Board of Appeals, after due notice by publication as provided by the applicable statutes of the State for amendments and upon a report of the Plan Commission to the Board of Trustees, if such a report is made. C. Initiation: An application for a special use may be made by any person, firm or corporation or by any office, department, board,bureau or commission requesting or intending to request a zoning certificate. D. Processing: An application for a special use, in such form and accompanied by such information as shall be established from time to time by the Plan Commission, shall be filed with the Village Clerk and thereafter processed in the manner prescribed theretofore for applications and amendments. Special use applications may be processed simultaneously with requests for amendment of this Title. E. Decisions: The Village Board, upon report of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Plan Commission, and without further hearing,may authorize or deny an application for a special use in accordance with the statutes of the State applicable to amendments, or may refer it back to the Board of Appeals.and the Plan Commission for further consideration. No special use shall be authorized by the Village Board unless the special use: 1 � 1. Is of the type described in subsection Al of this Section, is deemed necessary for the public convenience at that location; 2. Is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected; and 3. Would not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. F. Conditions: The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend, and the Village Board may provide, such conditions and restrictions upon the construction, location and operation of a special use, including, but not limited to,provisions for off-street parking and loading as maybe deemed necessary to promote the general objectives of this Title and to minimize the injury to the value of the property in the neighborhood.

(York Rd. Properties L.L.C.)consists of three individual lots and PIN numbers (Lot 1 is to the northwest, Lot 2 to the northeast and Lot to the south). We are seeking a special use for the addition of a heliport in an unused parking lot in Lot 3 (there are no other buildings on the lot). The heliport will be located just to the southwest of the center of an unused parking lot in the southeast comer of Lot 3 of 2001 York Rd. The existing scrub trees to the west of the parking lot will be removed and new low height landscape will be added to the north to visually shield the heliport from the parking lot located in Lot 2. A new flared curb cut will be added to the existing transitional area in the northeast of the parking lot for access to the proposed heliport. The design of the heliport is to be in accordance with I.D.O.T. Division of Aeronautics. The primary flight pattern will be from the west, approaching over 22"d and York roads; however, the majority of the approach will be over John Buck property. The secondary flight pattern will be from the east, over commercial properties and Windsor Drive. In either case, the approach/departure flight path will be over commercial and I.D.O.T. properties and therefore will not affect any residences in any way. All travel to and from the approach/departure area will be of a height sufficient not to harm or affect the residential areas within the Village of Oak Brook.
