Clarendon Hills, IL 60514
RE: 55th Street Sub-Area Plan
Dear Mr. Ungerleider,
Teska Associates, in conjunction with Baxter & Woodman, and Business Districts, Inc.(BDI) is pleased to submit this
proposal to prepare a plan for the 55th Street Sub-Area in Clarendon Hills. Our team brings experience and expertise in
the disciplines needed to provide the Village with short and long range planning guidance related to the study area,
particularly related to land use and zoning, public utilities, community services, and economic development. In addition,
our plans are always based on open, meaningful, and engaging public outreach. We understand that public participation
is essential to the success of this project and look forward to applying an input program that is effective because it is
customized to meet the needs of Clarendon Hills.
We see this project as serving the Village in several ways:
• Providing long range guidance, and actions for the near term, that spell out a measured approach to annexing and
servicing areas south of 55th Street.
• Identifying potential issues related to infrastructure and community services that may arise in serving current and
future residents in the sub-area.
• Defining a vision for the sub-area that presents desired outcomes for residents and business, and is embraced by
the entire Village so as to help diminish the perceived disconnect with the south side.
• Identifying opportunities along 55th Street and in the rest of the sub-area related to economic development, effective
public services and community character.
The project manager for this assignment from Teska Associates, and primary contact person for the proposal, is Michael
Blue, FAICP. Michael has 30 years of experience in planning and development management, having worked as an urban
planner in both the public and private sectors. His years in the profession have taught Michael that every community
is unique, every plan requires genuine public participation, and that the best outcomes result from a solid working
partnership between the community and stakeholders.
The lead staff person for Baxter & Woodman will be Sean O’Dell, P.E. Sean is Manager of Baxter & Woodman’s
Infrastructure Department bringing 14 years of experience to the project. Sean has been instrumental in bringing unique
infrastructure solutions to the Chicagoland region- including water main lining. In addition, Sean recently completed the
Village of Clarendon Hills 2014 water main rehabilitation design.

The point person for BDI is Terrance Jenkins. Terry was a founding principal of the firm in 1992 and serves as its
Managing Director. Prior to BDI, Terry served for 12 years as Executive Director of EvMark, the downtown management
organization for the City of Evanston. BDI has been involved in planning and economic development implementation for
sub-area plans, downtowns, corridors, office park developments, municipally owned sites and private sector owned sites
to be developed in cooperation with municipalities. Analyzing, planning and developing implementation strategies for
pragmatic, market-based solutions are the sole focus of BDI.
The firms participating in this proposal have experience working together. Teska and BDI have had a close teaming
relationship for some twenty years. Teska and Baxter & Woodman are currently working together to develop drainage
and grading regulations for the Village of Kenilworth, and recently undertook the Water Solutions Project, a stormwater
management assignment for the Villages of Winnetka, Glenview and Niles. All three firms are currently working together
to prepare a redevelopment based sub-area study for the Village of Kenilworth.
We look forward to discussing our proposal with you further. We have set out an approach and scope of services based
on our understanding of community, sub-area, similar projects, and the Request for Proposals. As needed, we are
open to refining the proposed scope to best meet the Village’s needs and expectations, and to assisting the Village of
Clarendon Hills in preparing the 55th Street Sub-Area Plan.
Thank you for your consideration.

section two
PROJECT APPROACH
Our approach to the 55th Street Sub-Area Plan will involve extensive public engagement, utility
planning, economic analyses and scenario development as described below.
b
Community Engagement
Successful community engagement includes a wide range
of activities, as reflected in the RFP. Sound public input
is done to ensure that residents, business and property
owners, and anyone who is interested has a comfortable
forum in which to participate. However, not everyone is
comfortable speaking from a podium at a public meeting,
some prefer to draw on a map, craft a letter, or send an
email from home. These will all be accommodated in the
55th Street Sub-Area Plan.
Another consideration is that today’s planning
projects must embrace and take advantage of modern
communications tools. Plans certainly include meetings
with stakeholders, commissions, the community, and
Village Board, as noted in the RFP, however, 21st century
public engagement is much more. We commonly use input
techniques that include a website, social media, and even
a mobile phone plan app. We call this “Total Engagement”
and have used it successfully in many communities.
Establish Steering Committee Downtown Glencoe Visionary Chalkboard
A key part of total engagement will be to identify a
community based Steering Committee to lead the planning
effort. Depending on local preference, such a role may
be played the local Plan Commission. In other cases, the
committee is made of local officials and stakeholders
representing a range of interests. This consideration
is especially important for the 55th Street Sub-Area
Plan given the sense of disconnect with the balance of
Clarendon Hills. To address that concern, we suggest
the Village look at establishing a Steering Committee
that includes local elected and appointed official,
residents from the study area (both within the Village
and unincorporated areas), Village residents, and other
stakeholder groups. In this way the plan can be seen as a
joint effort developed in the best interest of all involved.
Website
In addition to community meetings, interviews, and focus
groups, Teska can provide a variety of interactive outreach
tools. This example from Glencoe has helped build excitement
and participation in the downtown plan and reached new
constituencies that have not typically attended public meetings
in the past.
Creating a customized project website provides a platform
for residents and stakeholders to engage in the planning
process beyond traditional community meetings. Planning
documents, a project calendar, idea sharing and surveys
are common interactive web components we can include
in this project website.

Outreach Tools
Letting the neighborhood and community know about the
plan and securing their participation typically requires
active outreach. We use a range of techniques to inform
the community of the project, upcoming meetings,
opportunities for sharing comments, etc. As needed, we
will prepare flyers, contact cards, and other information
pieces to be shared in the community. In addition, we
have attended local events to ask people to share ideas.
We’ll work with the Village to determine which of these
are effective based on previous input engagement efforts
and use them to expand participation in the plan.
Updates to Village Board & Zoning Board of
Appeals / Plan Commission
Project updates for elected and appointed officials are
valuable steps in community engagement and policy
development. Several points are identified in the scope
of services for updates to the Village Board or Zoning
Board of Appeals / Plan Commission. As drafted in the
scope these status meetings will be held with the Village
Board but they could also be held with the ZBA/PC or a
joint meeting of the two groups. The approach varies by
community and we will work with the Village to decide
which approach is best.
Community Open Houses
Two community open houses will be conducted. The first
will be held early in the process to secure perceptions and
observations about the study area from those who live
and work in the area. This input will be directly applied
to developing a vision for the planning effort.
The open house will be organized around a series of
interactive activities to help people consider and share
ideas. Past programs Teska has led have included asking
participants to draw concerns on area maps, draft “letters
to the Village President”, complete vision statement
“mad-libs”, use planning blocks to show development
patterns, and even make collages to convey their ideas
and goals. The bottom line is that people’s comfort to
participate comes through different types of engagement
and we will work with the Village to ensure that the open
houses are designed to secure valuable input and be
enjoyable for participants.
A second community open house will be held later in the
process after key recommendations have been developed.
The intent of the workshop will be to have residents
provide their opinions regarding the preliminary plan
recommendations. The open format will be designed to
maximize participation and input from participants.
G
Utility Planning
Municipalities today are asked to meet more demands
than ever. Aging infrastructure and new rules and
regulations result in an ongoing juggling act with available
capital budgets. The water and stormwater strengths and
deficiencies in the south side of the study area must
be identified so that the Village can plan to incorporate
infrastructure in an effective manner. We recommend
using existing tools such as the Village’s GIS and water
model to evaluate any necessary upgrades while focusing
on public health and safety requirements. These systems
must work collaboratively to support the needs of the
residents and businesses in the Village.

Economic Development / Analysis
Teska and BDI have worked on numerous projects that set
an economic development course for a client community.
Recently, we have worked together on projects for DuPage
County, Highwood, and Lake Forest. Most recently, we
have completed a comprehensive two stage Strategic/
Economic Development Plan for the City of Warrenville,
Ill. which closely matches community vision and priorities
with the realities of the post Great Recession marketplace.
Whether a comprehensive plan, downtown plan, business
area study, or site specific analysis, the team applies
hard data, a thoughtful understanding of market realities,
and community needs to establish a course of action
for implementation. The bottom line is to balance the
community vision with underlying market truths. Goals
should be aspirational but must also be feasible.

BUSINESS CLIMATE
The overall economic climate in DuPage County was described as sound; yet there is
little doubt that just as in the rest of the country, recovery from the Great Recession is
gradual. However, a number of economic strengths in DuPage County were noted by
participants and include:
• Good quality of life
• Low unemployment rate
• Highly educated, high quality work force
• Excellent transportation access to the region
• Low cost of doing business
• Diverse economy
• Close proximity to Chicago
Similarly, Warrenville was described as having a number of strengths:
• Very good municipal services
• Good schools
• Engaged community
• Location along I-88
• Safe area for people to meet (both a reality and perception)
• Generally economical area (parking, food, hotel rooms, taxes, etc.)
• Being close to Naperville, but being a different type of community
• Being in / near a natural environment
• Easy access to Downtown Chicago by train

Implementation Oriented
The course for a community to follow in reaching its
goal must be more than a “to do” list chart at the end
of a plan. The implementation tasks must be focused
on accomplishing the outcomes established in the plan.
Further, they must be within the reasonable capacity
of the community to manage to completion. A laundry
list of too many actions, spread over too many actors,
and to be done in too little time will not succeed. The
plan must realistically set short, middle, and long range
implementation actions; establishing priorities and
reflecting the true cost and effort to bring them about.
The plan must also offer preliminary estimates of the
potential revenue to the municipality which successful
economic development might generate, as well as costs
for services and utilities. The principals assigned to lead
this project have extensive real world experience working
with municipalities, and understand that successful
implementation is a balance between numerous interests,
projects, and essential services.
f
Scenario Development
Sub-Area planning is not about finding the right answer,
it is about finding the best answer. The number of vested
parties, public perspectives, development options and
utility requirements in a study area like the 55th Street
Sub-Area means that options need to be considered.
In evaluating land uses, utilities and development
expectations, we commonly prepare options that reflect
alternatives in keeping with local values and reasonable
development expectations. These typically reflect different
areas of emphasis and types of land use (for example,
residential, commercial, or recreational). The alternatives
are not predetermined (although some may be clear at
the project outset) but develop organically through the
analysis. Ultimately, we work with clients to determine the
optimal scenario for the community to pursue. Preparing
scenarios will be useful for the community to understand
and decide on utility, annexation, and land use options for
the Sub-Area.
PAGE 6
A
Working Partnerships
Preparing plans working closely with the Village staff
and local officials is one that our team supports and
enjoys. This ensures that best practices applied and
recommendations developed for the plan are specifically
suited for the community and Sub-Area because they
combine the community’s unique insights of the area with
the consultant’s outside perspective and experience. All
three firms in this proposal have ongoing relationships
with numerous clients, some dating back many years, and
we understand well the power and value of this strong
working relationship.

Task 1.2 – Key Person Meetings
Meetings would be held with Village and sub-area
stakeholders to gather their perspectives regarding
the existing characteristics of the study area, desired
potential outcomes, and any significant challenges that
may need to be overcome. Meetings will include Village
staff (police, fire, and others) to clearly understand
how those services are provided and may be impacted
by annexation of the sub-area (discussions with these
service providers are expected to continue throughout
the plan process). Stakeholders will be determined jointly
between the Village and consultant and would include
property and business owners, representatives of other
taxing jurisdictions, etc. Our experience has proven that
outreach and coordination by the Village generates the
most interest and responses by key stakeholders. These
meetings would be held in the Village over portions of two
days so as to be convenient for participants.
The first phase of the 55th Street Sub-Area Plan focuses on
data collection and analysis.
Task 1.1 - Kick off meeting
A meeting with Village Staff would be held to initiate the
project. The meeting would address status of current or
recent development proposals, availability and collection
of data sources, the roles and responsibilities of the
different project participants and relevant data related to
the study area such as land use, utilities, environmental
issues, traffic, etc. The public engagement elements of
the plan will be reviewed, as well as their anticipated
scheduling. Also, key community stakeholders to be
involved in the planning process will be reviewed, as well
as the makeup and utilization of a Steering Committee for
the project.
As part of the project initiation meeting, a tour of
the study area would be conducted with staff and
the consultants to review the physical layout and
characteristics of the area.

Task 1.3 – Project Website
A project specific website will be prepared at the start
of the plan and maintained throughout the assignment.
Teska applies project websites for a range of purposes
such as access for residents to related and past planning
efforts, sub-area plan documents, a place for community
comment and idea sharing, calendars of related events,
and polls and surveys. A project website will be built for
the 55th Street Sub-Area Plan and be maintained by the
consultant.
Sub-Area Quick Facts:
Sub-Area
• Land Use and Zoning — The consultant will collect and
review the existing land uses and related background
data / information within and around the study
area. Key parcels in the study area will be noted and
evaluated to determine development opportunities
and limitations. In addition to land use, we will
review the Village’s existing zoning and development
regulations to best understand potential development
in the area. Existing land use and zoning designations
(under Village and County zoning designations) will be
mapped.
• Demographics and Housing — Fundamental
demographic data will be collected and evaluated
to understand the composition of study area and
Village residents, housing types, housing tenure, etc.
This information will be used to understand options
for annexation and potential service impacts on the
Village.
Village of Clarendon Hills
2,550 residents
Task 1.4 – Existing Conditions Analysis
Existing conditions information will be collected and
evaluated in appropriate detail to develop sound
recommendations for the sub-area plan. The consultant
will review existing data provided by the Village and
compiled from other sources. To the extent it is available,
Village and DuPage County sources will be used to secure
information efficiently from internal mapping systems that
can be integrated with aerial photographs, environmental
conditions, existing land uses, planned projects,
roadways, pathways, utility improvements, and other
information relevant to the project.

• Water — The Village has already completed a detailed
water system model and evaluation of the south side
area. The study has already developed land use and
population projections for the south side area. It
is critical to look at three main components when
evaluating the Village’s water system – operating
pressure, fire flows and water storage. We will use
the Village’s model to determine what water supply
improvements are necessary to meet these three
components while minimizing the impact on the
Village’s existing water supply system.
• Operating Pressure — The Village must maintain
minimum operating pressures that meet the IEPA
requirements of 35 psi throughout the study area.
Booster pumping stations and pressure zones may
be necessary to meet this minimum requirement
for public health and safety.
• Fire Flows — The minimum fire flow standard
that meet ISO requirements for a residential
area is 1000 gallons per minute. In addition, we
know there are larger residential developments
and schools in the southern area and these can
require up to 3000 gpm of fire flow. Water main
looping and water main sizes must be evaluated
to meet the necessary fire flow.
• Storage — A good planning value for water storage
is equivalent to two days of average day demand.
The Ciorba study has determined there will be a
shortfall of water storage volume in the future.
We will review the effectiveness of future ground
storage versus elevated storage as part of the
south side analysis.
Effective drainage and flood control are important for
promoting a sound ecosystem.
PAGE 10
• We also will evaluate water main break records in
the south side area , if available. If there are any
trends of water main breaks in certain locations,
water main replacement or rehabilitation may be
necessary to plan for.
• Stormwater — We will apply a simple approach to
evaluate the drainage ditches, which will help define
a Village character appreciated by the community. A
field visit (preferably after a rain event) will help to
determine if the drainage ditches generally appear
maintained. A questionnaire asking the residents if
their ditches work or if they have frequent ponding/
flooding can provide further insight. Finally, we will
would look at Village GIS and topo maps to determine
where the stormwater should be going, and pay
specific attention to those areas to ensure that the
water has functioning outfalls (positive drainage).
• Pavement — During the pavement analysis we
will conduct a field evaluation to determine the
condition roadways in the study area. We will
gather street names, lengths and widths in an Excel
spreadsheet. The field evaluation will utilize PASER,
a system developed by the Wisconsin Transportation
Information Center. This method is accepted by the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) as an
acceptable method to assess pavement conditions.
The PASER methodology provides guidance to
determine a pavement rating of 1-10 based on
observed surface distresses on each pavement. It also
provides recommended rehabilitation strategies based
on these observed distresses. After the field analysis
is completed, we will determine the appropriate
rehabilitation method, the costs associated.

The sub-area’s location in respect to neighboring and regional markets
will be assessed as part of the economic development analysis.
• Market Overview / Economic Development — BDI
will review the study area to determine the market
opportunities in a context within the proximate
markets, the overall community of Clarendon Hills
and the region. All traditional areas of economic
development will be reviewed including retail,
commercial, office, residential and other specialty
uses. BDI will use interviews with local stakeholders;
interviews with the brokerage and developer
community; interviews with elected and appointed
officials; regional economic development entities and
multiple data base sources to develop the analysis
and the recommendations.
• Plans, Programs and Community Services — The
consultant team will review past and current studies
and projects by the Village in order to coordinate
those efforts with the sub-area plan. Current service
levels and any service deficits related to police, fire,
and other governmental services will be highlighted.
Village budgets, capital plans, and other fiscal reports
will be reviewed to understand these services. To
understand services in detail, Village staff will be
interviewed.
PAGE 11
• Community Identity — This analysis will include
and evaluation of existing streetscape elements
and urban design characteristics of the sub-area
and surroundings to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of how these elements contribute to the
sub-area’s identity and consistency with the balance
of the Village. Streetscape elements to be assessed
may include signage, landscaping, lighting, parkways,
public art, and pedestrian and bicycle amenities.
Deliverable – An Existing Conditions Report will be
prepared and provided to the Village summarizing
findings of this phase. In addition to the technical
elements noted above, the report will identify
issues, opportunities and challenges for the study
area. A draft of the document will be provided to
Village staff for review prior to preparing the final
report.
Task 1.5 – Existing Conditions Presentation /
Community Meeting
The Existing Conditions Report will be presented to
the project Steering Committee. The evening of and
immediately following the Steering Committee meeting, a
Community Open House will be hosted to share findings
with residents of the sub-area and overall community. By
holding the meeting and open house in the same evening,
participation is maximized and the Steering Committee
hears directly from participants.
The Existing Conditions Report and Open House
presentation will share the “snapshot” taken of the subarea, and invite the Committee and residents to provide
insights regarding the extent to which the summary
clearly defines the area. In this way, the plan can be built
on technical, practical, and personal notions of the subarea.

Sub-Area Alternatives
Task 2.2: Analysis of Annexation Alternatives
Developing an optimal approach for planning,
annexation, and development in the study area will
require understanding the range of alternatives. Up to
three annexation and development scenarios will be
evaluated. None of these will necessarily be considered
the recommended approach, but will be designed to
understand the ramification of possible outcomes. For
example, one scenario might be annexation of the entire
sub-area at one time. Another might be to continue
annexation of individual properties incrementally and
only as the need for services arise. Yet a third might be to
develop a phased approach in which sections of the study
area are incorporated to the Village.
Task 2.1 – Sub-Area Visions Statement / Goals
and Objectives and Steering Committee
Workshop
A draft Vision Statement and supporting Goals and
Objectives will be developed as a basis for plan
development. A first draft will be prepared by the
consultant based on public input and the existing
conditions analysis. The project website and other
community outreach described above will be used to
invite comment and refinement of the draft statements.
After a period of public input, a workshop will be held
with the Steering Committee to refine the vision and
goals / objectives. These statements of policy direction
for the study area, combined with the existing conditions
analysis, will serve as the basis for evaluating annexation
alternatives and developing key recommendations.
At this stage of the process, the consultant and Village
will be evaluating hypothetical approaches, in order to
understand options and prepare for how annexation
is best addressed. These scenarios are evaluation
techniques, they would not be a recommended approach,
but an analysis tool. The consultant and Village will decide
jointly identify the annexation scenarios to be evaluated.

For each of the three scenarios, four key metrics will
be considered to evaluate the potential impacts of
annexation:
1) Land Use and Zoning
2) Infrastructure (water, storm and roads)
3) Markets and Economic Development and
4) Community Services (police and fire).
The pluses and minuses relative to each metric will be
considered, as well as challenges presented in achieving
the vision and defined goals and objectives. The
findings of this analysis matrix will be summarized in an
Annexation Alternative Memorandum and be provided
to Village staff for consideration. The memorandum will
serve as agenda for a workshop meeting with the staff
and consultant to review findings of the analysis and
implications for plan implementation.

Prepare Draft Plan
A draft sub-area plan will be prepared after preliminary
key recommendations are reviewed. This approach is
intended to ensure that anticipated directions for the
project are sound prior to moving ahead to drafting the
plan.
Task 3.1: Key Recommendations
Based on the analysis of annexation alternatives, key
recommendations for short and long term actions will be
prepared. These will be drafted as a brief memorandum
and provided to the Village staff for review. A follow up
meeting with staff will be held to review the alternatives.
The memorandum and workshop will serve as a tool to
direct preliminary plan recommendations.
PAGE 14
Deliverable – Key Recommendation Summary
Memo
Task 3.2: Prepare Draft Sub-Area Plan
Based on previous tasks, the consultant team will
prepare a draft sub-area plan. In order to be efficient
with time and resources, the draft will be presented
in memorandum form and highlight findings,
recommendations, and implementation tasks for the
topics noted below. Graphics and tabular data will be
provided as useful to present the plan. The intent will be
to keep the document focused and not lengthy. However,
if appropriate an executive summary will be provided
to highlight recommendations and serve as a summary
report. A draft document will be provided to Village staff
for review prior to completion and distribution.
The main thrust of the plan will be to spell out an
approach by which the Village can support or direct
annexation of unincorporated lands in the sub-area,
and may be consistent with or based on one of the
alternatives considered in Task 2.2. Needs and actions for
portions of the study area already in the Village also will
be presented. The plan will consider events, thresholds,
service needs, or economic conditions that trigger actions
related to service provision or annexation. Recommended
directions in regard to these actions will consider needs
and expectations of Village and sub-area residents, as
well as Village staff capacity and budget constraints. The
bottom line is to provide the Village with a structure by
which to decide on annexation and public service actions,
and be prepared for potential impacts on established
service demand.
Typical study area right-of-way cross section
The recommendations will address topics considered
throughout the plan process:
• Land Use and Zoning — Findings will be presented
related to appropriate land uses in the sub-area.
The land use pattern will be developed to support
the vision and realistic market expectations. Any
amendments found to be needed for the Village
Zoning or other development codes to bring about the
desired land use plan will be presented.
• Infrastructure — The draft plan will include exhibits
highlighting the associated recommendations for
water and sewer improvements. Preliminary opinion
of probable costs of the recommended system
improvements will be prepared, including capital costs
for construction, construction engineering services,
legal and administrative fees, and contingencies. We
will pay special attention to providing priority and
phase or population alternatives so that the Village
will know when it is time to start implementing the
utility service solution.
• Market Overview / Economic Development — Draft
recommendations will involve highlighting the
opportunities for further development while noting
the challenges that must be addressed to facilitate
successful development. Emphasis will be placed on
existing uses including strategies to improve their
viability or to address alternate uses in the event
of market turnover. While broad community vision
will be a high priority, the recommendations will be
deeply based in the market realities currently guiding
the marketplace, as well as the goals and objectives
of individual property owners. An implementation
plan will be developed that adequately reflects
local resources and reasonable timelines aimed at
maximizing opportunities and minimizing challenges.
• Plans, Programs and Community Services —
Recommendations for future police and fire service in
the sub-area will be identified. Anticipated changes to
current services and service levels will be highlighted.
Other Village programs or services that may be
impacted by annexation also will be addressed.
General estimates of revenues from current and future
development as well as costs necessary to support
the sub-area will be prepared.
• Community Identity — Consideration will be given in
the plan to urban design elements that may support
a common identity for the Village and sub-area.
The elements may include consistent landscape or
streetscape improvements, gateway and wayfinding
signage, or other placemaking design elements.
• Implementation Summary — Implementation tasks
outlined in the plan document will be summarized in
a single plan section, and defined as either near-term
or long-term actions.

Task 3.3: Steering Committee Workshop and
Second Open House
Final Plan Adoption
The draft sub-area plan will be provided to the Steering
Committee for review and discussion; it will be provided
to the community via the project website and other
identified outlets. The plan will be reviewed by the
Steering Committee at a workshop meeting.
Task 4.1: Final Plan Review Draft
A second open house (as with the first) will be held
immediately following the Steering Committee meeting.
The open house will include a presentation and exhibits
to present draft plan findings and recommendations to
the community. Open House participants will be invited
to attend the workshop and share their perspectives with
the Committee.
A public comment period will be established to invite
input to the plan. Staff and consultants will reach out to
stakeholders in the community who have participated in
the process (including Task 1.2 Stakeholders Interviews) to
invite broad review and comment on the draft plan. Other
outreach techniques (such as the website) will be used to
maximize input.
Task 3.4: Village Board and Zoning Board of
Appeals / Plan Commission Updates
Findings and recommendations of the draft plan will be
presented to the Village Board as an update. Similarly,
a presentation on the plan will be made to the Zoning
Board of Appeals / Plan Commission so that they are
aware of the plan’s direction and will be invited to review
and comment prior to their consideration at the Public
Hearing. At the Village’s discretion, this meeting can be
done jointly or separately from the Village Board update
meeting. Comments, questions and concerns by the
groups will be considered and addressed as appropriate in
the final version of the plan.
PAGE 16
Based on input and comment to the draft plan, a final
plan document will be prepared. In general, the final plan
will address the same topics as the draft, but further
detail as may be needed. It is anticipated that nearly all
key issues, concerns, and recommendations of the plan
will have been reviewed and direction set by this stage,
but any new or outstanding items will be finalized in the
document.
Regarding format, the plan will be a presentation
finish quality, and include an executive summary and
appendices as appropriate. The plan document will
present findings, recommendations and implementation
tasks around the key topics of: 1. land use and zoning, 2.
infrastructure, 3. economic development, 4. community
programs and services, 5. community identity and 6.
implementation. In order to keep the plan at a readable
length and style, extensive data or analysis will be
provided in appendices or supplementary documents. A
draft of the document will be provided to staff for review.
Based on staff comment, the document will be revised
and prepared for community review.
As with the draft, the plan will be distributed to the
community via the website and other outlets. Residents
will be invited to share comments on the website or other
written means, and made aware of the upcoming Steering
Committee / Open House review.
Deliverable – Steering Committee Review Draft of
Final Sub Area Plan
Task 4.2: Consideration by Steering Committee
The Final Plan will be presented by the consultant to the
Steering Committee at a workshop session. The meeting
will be designed to invite public comments and questions
as part of the Steering Committee review. Based on input
from the Committee review and meeting, the plan will be
revised as needed.
Deliverable – Public Hearing Draft Sub-Area Plan
Task 4.3: ZBA/PC Plan Review and Public
Hearing
The plan will be presented by the consultant at a Public
Hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals / Plan
Commission. The ZBA / PC will be asked to consider
recommending to the Village Board that the plan be
adopted an amendment to the Village of Clarendon Hills
Comprehensive Plan. In doing so, the commission may
recommend to adopt as drafted or recommend changes.
As necessary, the plan will be revised for adoption by the
Village Board.
Deliverable – Adoption Draft of Sub-Area Plan
Task 4.4: Village Board Adoption
The plan will be presented by the consultant for
adoption to the Village Board as an amendment to the
comprehensive plan. In adopting the plan, the Village
Board can accept it as drafted or specify changes. The
plan would be amended as needed based on Village Board
direction.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
ROOSEVELT AND WINFIELD ROAD CORRIDOR
ST. CHARLES ROAD CORRIDOR
The Village of Winfield is a primarily residential community located in DuPage County,
one of the fastest growing counties in the Chicago region. The Village has historically
attempted to maintain its rural character, and has resisted larger commercial development in order to maintain the small-town atmosphere of the community. Recently, new
economic pressures to seek alternative revenues to expand the Village’s tax base has led
to a realization that the existing zoning strategy should be re-evaluated to accommodate
future development. In 2014, the Village retained Teska to update the Comprehensive
Plan, which identified two special areas within the Village for detailed analysis of
commercial development potential: 1) the Roosevelt Road corridor, and 2) the St.
Charles Road corridor. In order to accomplish the goals for these corridors outlined in
the Comprehensive Plan, the Village retained Teska to create new special zoning
districts for the Roosevelt and Winfield Road Corridors (RW-PD), and the St. Charles
Road Corridor (SC-PD).

The main feature of the newly created RW-PD and SC-PD zoning districts is to require

stage of this planning process and will soon release a Request for Qualifications to retain

After adopting a City-wide Strategic Plan (which was completed by Teska
Associates) the City retained Teska Associates to produce a subarea plan for
its southwest district. The Strategic Plan identified this area of the City as a
priority for future planning and development. Teska is currently working
on developing an overall plan for the area. Teska has completed an initial
assessment report regarding demographics, market analysis, and a TIF
eligibility study. Additionally, Teska has provided three different
alternative land use layouts which provide in depth analysis on market
demand, land use compatibility, transportation, and sustainability factors
within the region. The firm is currently working with the City and steering
committee to determine the best course of action with regards to land use
and will complete the subarea report within the next month.

NORTHFIELD ROAD CORRIDOR PLAN
Northfield, Illinois
The Northfield Road Corridor Plan provides a long-term vision for the M-1
zoning district along Northfield Road and its connection to the Village
Center. It is the result of an extensive community outreach process (involving
stakeholder interviews, advisory committee meetings, and public meetings)
as well as evaluation of land use, zoning, transportation, urban design, local
real estate markets and development economics.
The corridor was historically home to light manufacturing businesses that
served the region, but is transitioning into a commercial district that directly
serves the residents of Northfield and nearby communities. The purpose of
this plan is to reestablish how the Northfield Road corridor can fit into the
community’s vision for the future and thrive within the context of local real
estate markets.
A few key recommendations are noted below:
Create a new zoning district to reflect the trend toward service
commercial
Consider redeveloping a large, vacant industrial site into multi-family
residential
Establish a parking lane along Northfield Road to respond to parking
deficit
Revise Village parking standards to reflect current demand
Create cross access between parking lots
Design and install a multi-use path to accommodate pedestrians and
cyclists
Straighten the geometry of a critical intersection to improve traffic
facilitation
Extend residential road to address resident and emergency access
issues
Reduce superfluous curb cuts
Enhance the river area to serve as a community gateway
Apply urban design guidelines

The Tri-County
Fiscal Calculator and Impact Tool provides quantitative estimates of the costs
and benefits of growth tailored to each community and school district.
There are two components to this project. First, a fiscal calculator was developed for each
municipality and school district based on revenues generated by new development with a
comparison with operating and capital costs. Second, a development impact tool was
developed that provides local leaders with a fiscal assessment to understand the impact of
growth and development at a broader scale. The impact tool is tied to a regional modeling
effort utilizing Community Viz mapping software in order to test and visualize different growth
models.

These tools can be used to evaluate different proposals and densities within the same

employees in mind, with an ultimate goal of creating a more desirable region to live and work.

Attracting new development that pays for itself is not as easy as identifying land for commercial
development. The health of the local and regional economies depend on a number of factors.
The fiscal calculator and impact tool provide objective information to inform local and
regional strategies and can be used from the scale of an individual development to a
region-wide growth model.

DUPAGE COUNTY CORRIDOR STUDIES
LAKE STREET & ROOSEVELT ROAD
LAKE STREET & ROOSEVELT ROAD CORRIDOR STUDIES
The impetus for the DuPage County Corridor Studies for Lake Street and Roosevelt Road
was rooted in an ongoing land use planning process that DuPage County has undertaken
with various updates since 1990. In an effort to reinvigorate the planning process, the
County decided to focus its efforts on unincorporated parcels, given their more immediate
impact on providing services and addressing zoning policies regarding development. The
overall purpose of this corridor planning study was to produce a set of land use, development, and policy guidelines that DuPage County and the corridor communities can use to
promote and inuence development along the two corridors.

As a project conducted through a partnership including DuPage County, CMAP, and the
corridor communities, and led by Teska, the planning approach utilized existing data from
the County, the corridor communities, transportation agencies, and other relevant organizations to generate a solid baseline from which to build strategies that guide the progressive evolution of each corridor. In particular, the studies are predicated upon a progressive
concept that redefines corridors by shifting from the over-retailed, auto-oriented character
to a balanced mixed use approach that is more economically sustainable, diversifies the
tax base, and advances the four core tenets of the CMAP GO TO 2040 Plan -- creating
livable communities, investing in human capital, fostering efficient governance, and
promoting regional mobility.
The studies resulted in a two-pronged approach to land use planning: the short term land
use plan ensures that the County’s plan is consistent with municipal land use plans. while
the long term land use plan is more transformative in nature, particularly building on the
economically sustainable mixed use concept.
In the end, DuPage County emerged with its first update to its land use plan in almost 20+
years, as well as provided a framework for future corridor studies.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
People are comfortable contributing in different ways. Some prefer to attend meetings
and workshops to share ideas whereas others may opt to interact using web tools,
social media and mobile apps. Whether it’s at a community event, local festival or
online via our project websites and comment tools -- we reach out to the community
rather than hoping they find us. Our outreach strategy is simple and effective -- we
provide a variety of interactive tools and in-person events so that residents, businesses, and community leaders can choose how they want to engage. While our methods
may vary (because all communities are different) we are consistent in making participation interesting, fun, relevant and engaging.

Ferris Bueller said it first, “Life moves pretty fast...,” and we get that. That’s why all of
our project websites and tools are mobile optimized, to ensure we’re able to reach
residents whether they’re at home or on-the-go using their desktop, tablet or phone.

DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE PLAN
STREETSCAPE DESIGN
A small western suburb of Chicago with distinctive downtown charm, Clarendon
Hills is approximately three square blocks in size. Teska worked with representatives
from the Village and local merchants to create a plan that unifies several distinct and
disparate downtown retail areas and the Metra commuter rail station.
The plan focused on the creation of pedestrian spaces and small-scale gathering
areas linking the downtown into one, identifiable district. To complete this task, our
urban designers incorporated new brick paving, pedestrian scale lighting, limestone
seatwall planters, street tree and perennial plantings and ornamental iron railings.

Ridgewood Subdivision
Infrastructure Study | Village of
Western Springs, IL
The Village of Western Springs Ridgewood Subdivision was
developed in the mid-1950s. The Village is experiencing
the effects of aging infrastructure, in particular, water main
breaks. In addition, the area experiences some significant
flooding during stormwater events. Baxter & Woodman evaluated the conditions in the neighborhood and provided a long
term plan to effectively and efficiently maintain, upgrade and
operate the water, sanitary, storm and roadway infrastructure.
Water
Water main breaks and water quality concerns exist in the
Ridgewood Subdivision. The Village’s water model was used
to evaluate the water system in the Ridgewood Subdivision.
Water pressures are above the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) minimum; however, the available fire flow
was lower than desired. Water Main looping and pipe rehabilitation or replacement strategies were considered for long
term water system improvements in the neighborhood.
Sanitary
The Village recently hired a contractor to clean and televise
the sanitary sewers within the Ridgewood Subdivision. An
initial review of the closed-circuit television inspections
(CCTV) were performed by Village staff. That review flagged
nine sewer segments that require repair. Baxter & Woodman
reviewed the inspection videos and provided recommendation for point repair of these segments.
Stormwater
Approximately 338 acres are tributary to the Ridgewood Subdivision’s storm sewer system, including 188 acres located east of
Wolf Road. Baxter & Woodman developed a XPSwim model to
analyze the existing storm sewer system and determined that
flooding will occur at several locations for storm events as small
as the 2-year storm. Recommendations include upsizing the Flag
Creek storm sewer outfalls west of Ridgewood Drive at Longmeadow Lane and Maple Lane, and adding inlet capacity within
the roadway. B&W also recommended construction of a relief
sewer to convey 100-year flows within the storm sewer system.
Additionally, failing storm sewer outfalls at Flag Creek should be
reconstructed and small scale improvements at minor flooding
areas throughout the subdivision should be considered.
Pavement
The primary goal of successful pavement management is to
rehabilitate streets on a schedule that targets streets just before
their condition rapidly declines and becomes far more expensive.
The existing streets in the Ridgewood Subdivision were evaluated
with a field survey and are in a deteriorated condition with Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) ratings between 3
and 4. The recommended rehabilitation strategy for streets in this
condition is full-depth hot-mix asphalt removal and replacement.
Delaying pavement rehabilitation of pavements in this condition
could result in rapid deterioration and the need for much costlier
reconstruction.

Water System Strategic Planning
Report | Village of Glenview, IL
Water Master Plan | City of Crystal
Lake, IL
The Village asked Baxter & Woodman to assist with the development of a systematic approach for making capital improvements and operational modifications intended to meet the
Village’s water supply needs and optimize operations. The
Village’s primary concerns included meeting or exceeding water quality standards; ensuring reliable supply and service to
its residents, businesses and potential new bulk customers;
maintaining adequate pressures and fire flows; and improving the system efficiency and cost effectiveness. This strategic
plan was built, in part, on previously completed studies and
included the following:
The City of Crystal Lake selected Baxter & Woodman to
develop a GIS Integrated water model and a comprehensive system analysis to determine operational efficiencies,
and identify and prioritize cost effective improvements to
the City’s water system. The purpose of the project was to
develop a systematic approach for making capital improvements and operational modifications intended to meet the
City’s water supply needs and optimize operations. Baxter
& Woodman completed a Water System Master Plan Report
which was a valuable tool for making short term and long
term operational improvements.
•
The project included:
• Calibrated model developed from the City’s GIS.
• Estimates of existing residential population, non-residential population equivalents, and water demands.
• Updated projected population estimates based on
available developable land and anticipated changes in
existing land uses.
• Updated WaterGEMS water system computer modeling
work based on the City’s Geographic Information System
(GIS) and infield fire hydrant flow testing.
• Use of the water model to identify problem areas and
proposed solutions within the distribution system during
a variety of demand conditions.
• Detailed evaluation of each water treatment plant (WTP)
and the impact on the chloride discharge issues at the
WWTPs, consideration of shallow well versus deep well
water supply, evaluation of alternate treatment technologies, and review of improvements needed to meet
current and potential Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regulations.
• Recommendations for capital improvements and new
operational strategies based on results of water system
modeling and alternative analysis for future conditions.
Estimates of capital costs and prioritization of the improvements are included.

Downtown and Ogden Avenue Corridor Market
Study Winfield Comprehensive Plan | Village of Lisle, IL
The Village of Lisle retained BDI in 2014 to assist Village staff
and officials in understanding and quantifying key market opportunities for the Village’s downtown district and for its Ogden Avenue corridor. Located in the midst of a highly competitive regional market in all types of uses, BDI examined Lisle’s
potential for commercial development and the economics
specific to three potential redevelopment sites. This recently
completed study considers the role of retail, office, industrial, and residential development in creating a local economy
that better serves the residents of Lisle. For Lisle’s downtown,
BDI’s work emphasized strategies to improve and maintain the
downtown’s character, support business expansion and entrepreneurial growth, identify infill development opportunities,
and develop key regional partnerships to foster this growth
within downtown’s modest footprint. The study’s consumer
survey also provides tenanting guidance specific to Lisle’s
downtown district. For the Ogden Avenue redevelopment sites,
both reuse and redevelopment options were examined for
their impact on Village revenues, their market potential, and
for owner investment returns. The corridor’s role as a gateway
influencing the area’s regional image was a key consideration
in reviewing these varied options for potential uses. Overall,
BDI formulated detailed action plans that will enable the Village to capitalize on its competitive advantages (including a
large daytime population), ensure that the fundamentals for
future business growth remain, and provide a framework for
considering future redevelopment in their downtown and on
Ogden Avenue. Ultimately, the study recommendations emphasize how Lisle can achieve its potential for success within
their highly competitive market context, and the Village has
started to implement BDI’s recommendations.

In March of 2007, BDI completed the Downtown Western Springs
Market Analysis. This project identified the market demand for
specific retail businesses and mixed use projects that would be
both appropriate to the vision of Western Springs’ residents and
elected officials and financially feasible. This analysis included resident and business owner surveys, stakeholder interviews, and
project economics verification. The final report provided recommended strategies and actions that achieve the market potential
through public private partnerships.

Retail Business Assessment, Marketing Strategy and Site
Development Action Plan | Village of Olympia Fields, IL
Facing decreasing sales tax revenue and increasing competition
from centers in surrounding communities, Olympia Fields sought
BDI’s assistance in creating a Retail Business Assessment, Marketing Strategy and Site Development Action Plan. The resulting
report, completed with Teska, Associates and recognized by Illinois Chapter of APA with a 2008 excellence award, detail redevelopment concepts to increase the sales at nine commercial sites.
The project focused on creating a tool box to guide community recruitment and retention efforts. It provided profile sheets for each
opportunity and identified potential public private partnerships
to aid in property improvement. As a result of this project, Village
staff attracted the interest of new investors and helped existing
businesses better target available customers. Despite difficult
economic conditions, this project led to a proposal to add a major
retailer and to remodel an existing center. BDI recently began a
follow-up project to expand the project to include neighboring
Chicago Heights in a joint analysis of the commercial potential
associated with redevelopment at the important Lincoln Highway
and Western Avenue Intersection.

Strategic/Economic Development Plan | City of
Warrenville, IL
In 2013 Business Districts, Inc. (BDI) participated in a
comprehensive consulting team effort to develop a Strategic/Economic Development Plan to guide the City’s economic development plans and actions for the foreseeable future. The process
was thorough involving stakeholders throughout the community,
multiple data sources, regional organizations, a university study
and outside consultants. A key threshold in preparing the Strategic/Economic Development Plan was the development of the
Economic Development White Paper by BDI which was the culmination of all stakeholder input and research representing a clear
indication of the strengths and challenges for Warrenville moving
forward. Key to the White Paper and the Strategic Economic
Development Plan was connecting the city’s vision, and strengths
and challenges with the market realities which specifically affect
economic success in the post Great Recession economy. The City
fully endorsed the Plan and is in the process of developing a long
term implementation plan which matches community vision with
City revenue goals in concert with short, intermediate and long
term market opportunities and realities.
In 2016 BDI participated in the development of The Southwest
District Plan utilizing the completed Strategic/Economic Development Plan as the basis for all analysis. The Southwest District
represents the western sector of Warrenville and it is mostly
underdeveloped therefore representing the primary opportunity
for future economic development in Warrenville. The Southwest
District Plan essentially provided for an even more intensive
review of the economic development opportunities and challenges and a specific land use development plan was developed with
preliminary approval by the City. The land use development plan
was entirely based on current market realities. A Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) Study is being prepared in concert with the
Southwest District Plan in order to provide the tool which will be
required for infrastructure development which will be required to
support economic development opportunities.

Corridor Studies, Downtown Site Development and
Strategic Historic Preservation Plan | Village of Oak Park, IL
Since 2005, BDI has completed three corridor studies, a
downtown site development study, the Village’s Strategic Historic
Preservation Plan for the Village. The downtown site development
study examined a potentially historic building being considered
for inclusion in a redevelopment proposal. In a very public process, BDI analyzed the market and economic issues identified by
a special committee created by Oak Park’s Village Board. Working
with a partner firm, BDI’s three corridor studies identified the
business and site characteristics that would allow for market rate
development along each corridor. This analysis involved identifying potential markets and recommending a positioning strategy
relative to the competition.
The first study, (Chicago Avenue from Austin to Ridgeland) led to
a Village investment in streetscape and significant private investment in multiple storefronts. The Lake Street Corridor Study identified sites where new development could add substantially to
municipal sales tax revenue. BDI’s third corridor study analyzed
retail and mixed-use opportunities along Chicago Avenue near the
Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Specific actions to strengthen the relationship between area independent businesses and
key neighborhood and tourism markets were recommended.
The Village of Oak Park again retained BDI in August 2009 to develop a Village-wide Strategic Historic Preservation Plan to guide
the Village’s historic preservation work for the next decade. The
resulting plan formulated a ten-year strategy to address the future of historic preservation throughout the Village. The Plan was
completed in June 2010, and the Historic Preservation Commission began implementation.
BDI worked with Village staff and the Historic Preservation Commission in 2013 to conduct a public process to obtain input from
key stakeholders on new Architectural Review Guidelines. BDI’s
most recent work with the Village (2014) was part of a larger
study by a partner firm. This study examined municipal funding
mechanisms and their revenue potential to revitalize Oak Park’s
Roosevelt Road corridor. BDI’s role was to conduct public and
targeted outreach to corridor constituencies. One component of
that outreach was a web-based survey examining neighborhood
priorities for improving the corridor to assist the Village Board and
staff in developing budget priorities.

SELECTED EXPERIENCE
Mr. Blue has a unique background working in both the public and private
sectors of the planning profession. Having started his career as a consultant,
he worked extensively in the broad policy areas of comprehensive and special
area planning, development land use and economic impacts, commercial
district planning, and public participation. After more than a decade, he moved
to the public sector and spent the next 15 years working as a community
development department manager, where his focus shifted to the day to day
operations of development approval, economic development, managing public
commission processes, personnel, and municipal governance. Having now
returned to consulting, this diverse background affords Mr. Blue a wide-ranging
perspective when conducting planning assignments, allowing him to appreciate
the varied viewpoints of multiple stakeholders, and to understand how they
apply to any given situation or issue.
Prior to joining Teska Associates in 2013, for eleven years Mr. Blue was the
Director of Community Development in Highland Park, IL. There he managed a
department of 30 staff and focused on long range planning, review and approval
of proposed development projects, permit approval, and support of City Council
and Commission activities. The Department served nine City Commissions
addressing the issues of development, housing, historic preservation, cultural
arts, and the natural environment. While in Highland Park, Mr. Blue managed
the passage and implementation of the City’s affordable housing ordinance.
Before his position in Highland Park, Mr. Blue served as Deputy Community
Development Director in the Village of Mount Prospect, IL for five years,
managing staff in day to day operations related to planning, building permits
and code enforcement.
Mr. Blue is actively involved in the local and national leadership of the American
Planning Association and is currently the Planning Officials Development Officer
for the IL - APA. In this role he has been a leader in developing a curriculum
for training Plan Commissioners throughout the State; a program for which he
and others received the organization’s 2013 Distinguished Service Award. In
2008 Michael was selected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute
of Certified Planners and he regularly speaks at local, state, and national
conferences on a range of planning themes, most recently on topics related
to the development approval process, economic development, and local
government organizational management. He also has been a guest lecturer at a
number of university classes on topics ranging from the development approval
process to affordable housing.

Downers Grove Sanitary District, Illinois
Unsewered Area Planning and Design Program
Since 1998, Baxter & Woodman has helped the District to research and administer
the planning and design of many unsewered areas within the District. The
program began with Baxter & Woodman completing preliminary designs of small
sanitary sewer extensions to serve many unsewered areas. Preliminary design
included researching existing information from the District and completing field
investigations. Ultimately, we created an exhibit, sewer invert layout, and cost
estimates of the most feasible sanitary sewer extensions. Over time, homeowners
with failing septic systems have entered the program to receive sewer service.
Once the homeowners approve the project, Baxter & Woodman completes final
design, bidding, and construction of the project. Recently, we completed the
unsewered area report that includes updated and more in-depth preliminary
design of all unsewered areas located within the Facilities Planning Area of the
District. In addition, we are in the process of designing a number of sewer
extensions identified within the report.
Downers Grove Sanitary District, Illinois
Continual Updates of the Trunk Sewer Analysis
Baxter & Woodman first prepared a trunk sewer master plan for the District in
1981. A hydraulic model was created to analyze the sewer system performance
under existing and future, dry and wet weather, flow conditions. The Trunk
Sewer analysis was updated in 1990 to reflect revisions to the population
projections.
Sean recently assisted in updating the analysis to reflect
redevelopment in the downtown area and new commercial growth in the north
basin.
