Legislative – Trustee Schmidt/Trustee Carlson

A-18-049 Ordinance – Resubdivision of Lots / 1101-1117 East Avenue and 1300 E. Irving Park Rd.

Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “An Ordinance Granting A Resubdivision Of Two Lots Located At 1101-1117 East Avenue And 1300 E. Irving Park Road.” This Ordinance grants a resubdivision and consolidation of two lots to permit the future expansion of an existing use.

Trustee Schmidt presented the Ordinance for first reading. Community Development Director John Peterson stated the corporate owner of both parcels is requesting to consolidate the properties to allow the future expansion of the Lazzat Banquet facility in the 1101 East Avenue Plaza which will then require additional parking spaces. The vacant space between the East Avenue Plaza and the 1300 East Irving Park Road parcel with Amor Banquets would allow for this. This Resubdivision moves the lot line separating parcels 1 (East Ave.)and parcel 2 (Irving Park Road) approximately 54 feet to the south to create additional parking for the proposed future expansion of Lazzat Banquets. Mr. Peterson noted that the proposed addition and expansion of the parking also affects the detention, and will need to come to the Planning and Zoning Board as well as the Village Board for approval in the future.

Rezwunal Haque, corporate owner of the property, was present for questions. Trustee Cecille asked if the proposed building expansion would meet the Code for required setback. Mr. Peterson indicated it would, but the actual plans will be reviewed when received. He did state the building can go no further to the East as it would encroach into existing wetland and detention areas. Mr. Haque requested the Board to consider waiving the first reading for the Ordinance.

Trustee Schmidt moved to waive the first reading for the Ordinance. Trustee Cecille seconded the motion. Roll Call:

Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “An Ordinance Approving The Comprehensive Amendment To The Official Comprehensive Plan Of The Village Of Streamwood, Cook County, Illinois.” This Ordinance amends the official Comprehensive Plan of the Village, which serves as the long-range blueprint for community growth and development.

Trustee Carlson presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.

Community Development Director John Peterson stated the Village has been working with Ginko Planning and Design for over one year, along with a Steering Committee comprised of Village residents, other taxing bodies, and elected and appointed officials to determine key interests and perspectives on community growth and development. A website was created asking for community input. Workshops were help to evaluate the input and the information compiled into potential scenarios. Streamwood High School students provided input for key development sub-areas highlighted for potential development and re-development. Ferhat Zerin, of Ginko Planning and Design, was present for questions. She reviewed the work of the committee and the input received and reviewed the draft amendment to the Comprehensive Plan document. She stated this will be the blue print for the Village to use for long-term planning and short-term projects. A public hearing to review and recommend adoption of the Plan was held on April 17, 2018.

A-18-051 Resolution – Approval of Contract / Municipal Towing Services

Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A Resolution Approving And Authorizing The Village President To Execute On Behalf Of The Village And Authorizing The Village Clerk To Attest To A Certain Agreement With Artie’s Inc. To Provide Towing Services On Behalf Of The Village.” This Resolution authorizes the Village to enter into a contract with Artie’s Inc., d/b/a Artie’s Towing, 150 Woodview Drive, Elgin, Illinois, for towing and storage services for the Village for a contract period of two (2) years with one additional two (2) year extension permissible by mutual agreement.

Trustee Cecille presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Carlson seconded the motion. Police Chief Ed Valente stated the Village sought proposals for towing services and received only one proposal from Artie’s Towing. Artie’s has worked with the Village in the past and has a good working relationship. The facilities and equipment were inspected by Police staff and found to adequately meet the needs described in the proposal. This contract is for two years, with a two year extension permitted by mutual agreement of the parties, with a cost increase not to exceed the then current consumer price index.

Trustee Cecille confirmed Artie’s is able to provide service at all hours required. Trustee Harper asked how many trucks are available; Mr. Nick Speciale, from Artie’s Towing, stated they have 13 trucks. Trustee Baumer asked what the current costs are with Bloomingdale Tow, and what the costs are with Artie’s. Chief Valente stated Bloomingdale’s contracted cost is $35 per tow, and $15 per day for storage. Artie’s cost is $75 per tow, and $30 per day for storage. Chief Valente stated these costs are borne by the vehicle owner, and not by the Village, and are usually covered by insurance. He stated all contract provisions are very similar to the Village’s prior contracts for towing, and that exceptions can be considered on a individual basis. Roll Call:
