COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM
VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES
SUBJECT:
Request by Yavitski, LLC, d.b.a, Saddle Room Restaurant for
extension of a special use and zoning variations
MEETING DATE:
January 17,2011
COMMITTEE:
Planning, Building and Zoning
FROM:
Peter Gugliotta
REQUEST:
Request by Yavitski, LLC, d.b.a. Saddle Room Restaurant for
extension of a special use and zoning variations.
BACKGROUND:
On May 11, 2009, the Village Board approved Ordinance
4102-2009 granting a special use and zoning variations for the
Saddle Room Restaurant and Off-Track Betting facility at
5295 Prairie Stone Parkway. The special use and zoning variations
are valid for one year and expire if a building permit is not
obtained. In June 2010, the Village Board approved a six month
extension to November 11, 2010, of the special use and zoning
variations. The petitioner is in the process of trying to secure a
loan for the project and is requesting another extension (one year)
of these approvals to get a loan secured and begin construction on
the project.
DISCUSSION:
The petitioner has had to pursue several different options for
financing this project and has been delayed due to evolving
requirements from lenders during the difficult economy. He has
also been delayed due to his bank being purchased by another
bank. The petitioner hopes to have an answer on his loan request
in early 2011.
~ if
The petitioner has completed the entire building permit review
process. At this point, he is just waiting for his loan to be
approved so he can schedule the purchase of the property.
Immediately after the land is purchased, the petitioner intends to
obtain the building permit and begin construction.
The property proposed for the restaurant is located on the southeast
corner of Prairie Stone Parkway and Pratum Avenue in the heart of
the 59/90 Entertainment District. The Saddle Room restaurant
with an off-track betting component would be a significant
addition to the Entertainment District to help draw more people to
the area. Staff continues to work with property owners and
potential uses that would complement the Sears Centre Arena and
Cabela's, which anchor the district. The Saddle Room would
further the Village's vision for 59/90.

DISCUSSION: (Continued)
In order to allow some cushion in the timing for this project to begin, staff recommends a one
year extension be granted (retroactive from November 11, 2010).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a request by Yavitski, LLC, d.b.a. Saddle Room Restaurant for extension of a
special use and zoning variations to November 11,2011.

Brian S. Portz, AICP
Associate Planner
1900 Hassell Road
Hoffman Estates, IL 60169
Brian, I would like to request an extension of our special use permits required for the Saddle Room Restaurant.
I would like to request an extension of one year. Here is what has happened over the past year. Ian Yavitz
dropped out of the deal which put me in the position of needing more money from my bank. Because of the new
regulations on banks my lending was cut to 4.2 million. I currently have 2.7 million out for another location. This left
me with a balance of 1.5 million, or 1.3 million short of what I need to make this deal work. I applied for a SBA loan
with the government spent $12,000 and worked with them for five months only to have them turn me down. I have
met with many banks over the year and none of them want to take on new construction when there are so many
vacant buildings(restaurants) available. Fortunately my bank has just been approved for a merger. Downers Grove
National Bank will merge with BankFinancial January 1st 2011. With the new regulations this bank will now be able
to lend me over 16 million dollars. I have met with my personal banker and have put a package together, that they
are going to look at on the 10th or 12th of January. My Banker has been with the bank for twenty five years and is
in charge of commercial lending. She does not for see a problem with our request being approved. They know I
have been patiently waiting to get this deal done and want to help accomplish this goal. We have three businesses
with this bank all of which are up over twenty percent in a down economy. I can make it out to the next meeting to
further explain any questions you might have. We have already done the appraisal on the land and buildout and
would start as soon as possible providing the weather. We feel we can finish the project in six months.

SUBJECT:
Request by Midwest Companies for an extension of a special use
for a material recycling facility at 1100 Brandt Drive
MEETING DATE:
January 17, 2011
COMMITTEE:
FROM:
Peter GUgliotta<\?&-
REQUEST:
Request by Midwest Companies for an extension of a special use
for a material recycling facility at 1100 Brandt Drive.
BACKGROUND:
In January 1996, the Village Board approved the site plan and
special use for this facility. The approval was for two years and
included waivers to certain Subdivision Code site and landscape
requirements, and the stipulation that the petitioner return to the
Village for any proposed extension.
In 1998, this facility was granted a five year extension to their
approvals. Upon expiration in 2003, the petitioner submitted
applications to extend the approvals. However, at that time, the
gravel pit owner and Village were in the process of negotiating an
amendment to the annexation and development agreement. The
outcome of the amendment affected the underlying future land use
plan and zoning designation, therefore, the petitioner's request was
put on hold to await completion of the amendment.
This amended annexation and development agreement established
a mix of various residential zoning districts on the property and
included 0-3 Office District zoning along the Northwest Tollway.
The existing landscape processing facility is located within an area
zoned for future residential development. The agreement requires
that the facility cease operation with approval of the first
residential subdivision. The agreement also acknowledged that the
owner has the right to seek approval to relocate the operation to the
0-3 zoned portion of the property.
In 2005, the amended agreement was finalized and the petitioner
appeared before the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of
Appeals and ultimately the Village Board for approvals.
Unanimous approval was given by the Village Board with the
condition that the special use be reviewed again in five years.

January 17,2011
DISCUSSION:
The petitioner is requesting another five year extension of the special use to continue to operate
the landscape and construction waste processing and transfer facility site. The petitioner has
submitted a letter stating that the current operations are in compliance with the original request
and information provided to the Village, as well as the conditions of approval included as part of
Ordinance 3784-2005 that approved the operation in 2005 (see attached).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of an extension of a special use to operate a landscape and construction waste
processing and transfer facility site at 1100 Brandt Drive until December 31, 2015, subject to all
previous conditions of approval.

Dear Mr. Donahue
I am in receipt of your letter dated November 3, referencing the status of the Special Use Permit
and Site Plan Approval for 1200 Brandt Drive. It's hard to believe that five years have passed
since I was before the Board requesting the Special Use for our recycling operations, but time
does fly by.
In my review of the attached Ordinance, there are no changes that have been made to our
operations that deviate from the original request and information provided to the Village in my
original Special Use request documentation.
I ask that given the beneficial services that we provide to Municipal, Industrial and Commercial
businesses in the greater northwest suburban community, that we request an extension to our
Special Use for another five year period.
Please communicate what requirements may be necessary to obtain the requested extension and
we will comply in an expeditious manner with your offices and the Village Staff and Board.
Thanks you for your assistance.

P.e. APPROVAL: 10/19/05
V.B. APPROVAL: 11121105
MIDWEST MATERIAL MANAGEMENT L
Midwest Material Management is the evolution of American Wood Recycling.
Originally incorporated in 1995, we have successfully branded and grown our operations
into several different business platforms. The original American Wood Recycling, the
holder of the special use permit for the landscape waste transfer operation, manages
landscape waste by-products for local municipal customers, waste haulers and landscape
contractors requiring a location to discard organic wastes.
This operation has remained fairly flat in terms of growth over the past five years. We
average approximately 200 tons per day during the busier times of our generation season,
typically spring and fall. The majority of our volume (65% +/-) is driven by landscape
waste produced by municipal residents and delivered to our location by waste haulers.
The Village of Hoffman Estates as part of our initial negotiations with zoning enjoys free
dumping of municipally collected materials at our location. We estimate that annually,
the Village receives approximately $15,000 to $20,000 in free dumping subsidies as a
result of our business operations.
This location is regularly inspected by the IEPA. Our most recent inspection reports have
been enclosed with this document to reflect our commitment to operating the facility to
the standards as required by the State and to give support to the Village of Hoffman
Estates that we are a quality, law abiding operator. The hours of operation and handling
of materials will be consistent with our existing operating covenants. To recapture those
details, we are open from 7:00 A.M. until 4:30 P.M. Monday through Saturday and 7:00
A.M. until 12:00 P.M. on Saturdays. Materials delivered to the site are processed and
moved off site to remote processing facilities within 24 hours of receipt at our location.
Midwest Material Management also operates a C&D recycling facility. This facility
began operations in 1999 using a fairly crude sorting system for upgrading and
recovering materials for beneficial post use purposes. Our C&D facility has become
highly regarded by the IEPA and State Agencies as one of the finest facilities they have
ever seen.
We accept only clean C&D materials inbound at our facility and then sort the following
products from the inbound stream, cardboard, all wood products, all concrete and brick
and block products, all metals, drywall products, and roofing shingles. We take these
landfill diverted materials to staging areas where we grind, shred or bulk deliver to final
end product users of these materials for remanufacture into the economy.
We currently handle about 250 tons per day at this facility and divert about 75% of the
inbound material from Illinois landfills. The Department of Commerce and Community
Affairs under George Ryan as Governor was so impressed with our concept and proposal
that they funded our investment in the sort platform with a grant of$150,000.00 in 2002.
Agencies such as SWANA, the Illinois Recycling Coalition, the NSWMA and local
waste haulers believe our processing facility is a tremendous asset that enables the
construction and building trades in our area, to cost effectively recycle materials and
improve their stature within the building trades.
This operation is also operating with regular inspections by the IEPA, and copies of those
inspections have been included. We maintain the same vigilance and tight operating
tolerances with our C&D operation that we operate our landscape waste operation with.
Hours of operation for this facility are from 7:00 A.M. until 4:30 P.M. Monday through
Friday and Saturdays from 7:00 A.M. until 12:00 P.M. Materials delivered to the facility
for processing are handled efficiently and are moved within 24 hours of receipt.
We anticipate that when we relocate to the 0-3 site from our current area, our total space
requirements will be approximately 8 acres. This includes the relocation of the sort
system, inbound material staging requirements and inventory of materials that have been
improved for final delivery to end-users.
TIENERGY LLC
This operating division is a process of spent railroad ties from publicly traded railroads
within the Midwest. We have contracts with the Union Pacific railroad. The Indiana
Harbor belt railroad and perform remediation activities with the Burlington Northern and
other railroads for processing of used ties.
Our services to the railroads are fairly basic. Railroad gang crews mobilize throughout
the Midwest to switch our crossties annually. Because of issues relating to land filling of
cross tie materials, they desire that all spent ties be delivered to incineration plants
throughout the Midwest. Our job is to collect the spent ties, grind them in 1,000
horsepower grinders and then load the materials onto awaiting trailers and deliver the 2"
minus materials to the co-generation facilities. We annually handle about 1,400,000
cross ties throughout a 7 State area, and employ about 10 people in this line of business.
This operation is managed from our offices in Illinois, however we actually see virtually
no business activity within the Plote pit area due to the on site handling of materials and
transportation to remote facilities.
TRAFFIC ISSUES
We are not currently privy to the final road building plans that Plote Inc. intends to use
for the movement of their haul equipment from their shop along the Toll way at the south
end of the parcel, to the new mining location at the far north end of the parcel along
Route 72, west of the high power lines. We know that a road has been engineered and is
intended to be built, which we visualize as the predominant road between vehicles
entering at the Route 72 gate and moving south to our operations. There are also
entrance opportunities for vehicles to enter off Brandt Drive, which is just east of Route
25, north of the Toll way.
We believe that in the final site planning work between the Village of Hoffinan Estates
and Plote, Inc., the relocation of roadway issues has been completely researched and an
approved arterial road has been designated and approved. If this is not the case, I am
certain that Plote has in their agreement with Ryland Homes, a transportation plan that
meets with their approval.
We see no dramatic expansion in the size of our business moving from our current
operation to the new site in the 0-3 parcel. Today, we handle approximately 150
vehicles per day over a 9-hour operating window. Vehicles come in pretty regularly and
we do not see surges in traffic activity. We average about 16 vehicles per hour, which
are a combination of small pick-up trucks, roll-off vehicles and some refuse compactor
vehicles.
We believe that the dispersion of vehicles between multiple access roads into our facility
combined with the relatively steady delivery of materials over a fairly long operating day
makes the impact on adjacent structures minimal. We are cognizant that enjoyment with
our neighbors is a sound business practice that eliminates headaches, and concerns that
create negative tensions between all concerned parties.
NOISE
I won't begin to tell you vehicles; sort systems and grinders don't make noise. I will tell
you that we have a fleet of newer model equipment that is as quiet as any heavy
equipment made. That said, we propose to conduct much of our moving and grinding
operations below ground grade in the 0-3 location. The current site is a 70-acre pit that
will require extensive filling to bring to a usable level. We will keep our operations both
below grade as well as behind a soil berm to reduce noise travel. We do not have any
current issues with regards to noise that require addressing. Obviously we also do not
have housing neighborhoods that are 1,000 feet from our operation.
We will construct our final operating pad low enough so that we can operate and conduct
our business operations in enjoyment with our residential neighborhood. The Plote Inc.
mining operations will continue to the west of the current planned subdivision. I can
again relate to you in very practical terms, that we operate side by side today and will
probably operate side by side into the future with Plote to the west and our operations to
the south. Midwest Forestree and Midwest Material Management companies operate
equipment within the tolerances and specifications as our manufacturers dictate. With
the current noise suppression systems that are outfitted on our heavy equipment, they are
hardly recognizably running from more than 400 feet away.
It is important to realize that the production and manufacturing of finished materials,
which is where about 90% of the heavy equipment grinding and moving takes place will
still be performed in our Kane County area, which is about 1/8 mile form the 0-3 parcel.
If we manufacture product in the 0-3 area much before 2010, I will be quite surprised.
ODORS
Our operations do not product odors. The C&D operation receives and handles only
clean materials that have no petruscible odors or smells. Our inbound and finished
organic materials (mulches) are odorless and non-offensive. Our landscape waste
transfer facility does handle materials can become offensive if and only if materials are
allowed to sit for protracted periods of time. We receive materials, process them and
then transport them within a 24-hour window. We do not let materials sit long enough to
produce the aerobic breakdown that produces the rotten grass smells.
As the IEPA inspects our facilities, one of the areas that they monitor is odor at our
operation, as they do at all State licensed facilities. We have never been given a notice of
violation for odor issues and don't ever see this becoming an issue.
VISABILITY
Our operation does have some height issues that are currently in place, solely because we
do not have to monitor height restraints. The largest of the potential height issues that we
will face will be the C&D sort platform. This deck of this system is about 14 feet off
ground level, with a canvas cover that protects the system and out workers from wind and
rain that extends to a peak of an additional 12 feet. This makes the sort platform at the
highest point, approximately 26 feet high at the peak.
We have no other piece of equipment of stockpile of material that comes close to that
height. Most of our other equipment or pile heights would be in the 12 to 15 foot high
maximum heights.
In order to insure that the height issues do not become an obtrusive interference for our
soon to be neighbors, we will keep the sort platform on an area slightly lower than the
balance of the below grade systems. Combining the below grade offset with the berm
that we will install, I don't believe that homes at 1000 feet could ever see the system.
The balance of our operation and equipment should also be below grade insuring that
normal operating issues would keep our materials and equipment out of sight.
We will need to determine the exact combination of the berm installation height and
depth of equipment installation, in order for us to insure that we meet reasonable
visibility conditions.
DUST
The operations that we will relocate into the 0-3 parcel are the identical operations that
are currently operating across the current haul road. We will have the sorting,
processing, manufacturing and storage components of Midwest Forestree and Midwest
Material Management contained within the 70-acre parcel.
The various operations do generate minima's amounts of dust depending upon which
activities we are involved in. Given the fact that the predominant wind flow in this area
is from the northwest and west direction, our dust particulates, when generated should
move from our processing area towards the toll way, not towards the housing or church
complexes.
We have recently installed the cover over the sort platform, to keep dust, small pieces of
light material from blowing. On days when the wind is extremely strong, or coming from
directions other than west or northwest, we simply will not grind materials that can
potentially become an airborne nuisance. We have been in the grinding, sorting and
manufacturing business for many years and we know when to perform certain jobs and
when to hold off on those until weather conditions permit their suitable operation.
STORAGE OF MATERIALS
As I have previously highlighted, our companies produce a variety of both feedstock and
finished products that do require storage. The products are all organic in nature, do not
smell and do not in any way create a public nuisance. They vary in product type from
season to season, and in volume from season to season. The products are used almost
exclusively in the landscape and agricultural business segments.
We will keep our product storage in our Kane County location, west of the power lines
until a period where the 0-3 pit has been substantially filled, stabilized and graded
smooth. With this said, it will take many years to fill a 70 acre mined out hole.
Our operations will product minimous piles of clean products. When the piles reach a
size worth transporting full loads, we will relocate to our manufacturing yard in Kane
County, which is about 1/8 of a mile from the 0-3 parcel.
TYPES OF MATERIALS PROCESSED
Midwest Forestree, Midwest Material Management and Tienergy have a wide variety of
wood based and construction derived materials. In concert, these products enable our
companies to provide tremendous environmental benefit to the 1-90 corridor.
The products that we handle m varymg amounts and season delivery include the
following:

NARRATIVE
HISTORY
American Wood Recycling, Inc. was incorporated as an Illinois Corporation in 1993.
Prior to 1993, the company operated as a sole proprietorship under Midwest Forestree
Products, based in Prairie View, Illinois. At the time of our initial dialogue with the
Village of Hoffman Estates and our special use permit for the landscape waste transfer
operation granted in 1995, we operated as American Wood Recycling Inc.
In 1993, Midwest Forestree Products had three pieces of heavy equipment and five
employees. Today, we employ over 70 people. Many of these jobs are high paying union
organized jobs with pay scales over $25.00 per hour. We also have an equipment list that
has over 185 pieces of light and heavy equipment, currently valued in excess of
$8,000,000.00.
As we have grown, we have successfully integrated operating systems that vertically
support our various capital lines. We cross utilize our transportation network to haul a
variety of products for multiple final end uses. Our loaders and grinders also process a
myriad of different products that are used in a multitude of different final end uses. As
we expand our operations to better utilize our fixed asset base, we simultaneously always
look for ways to better recycle and engineer product flow for maximum diversion and
support of alternative uses versus virgin procurement.
On January 1,2003, to better brand our companies growth and identify with users of our
products and services, we changed our incorporated operating structures to a series of
LLC's with the following companies individually incorporated. Midwest Forestree LLC,
Midwest Material Management LLC, and Tienergy LLC are all subordinated operating
entities under American Wood Recycling, Inc.
LAND USES AND BUSINESS OUTLINES
MIDWEST FORESTREE LLC
This company provides mass land clearing services for land developers and general
contractors throughout the Midwest. Midwest Forestree also provides mass wood
grinding activities for Municipalities and local governments, predominately after storm
damage occurs.
We also produce a wide variety of organic products for local landscape uses. The
products that we product are several varieties of bark and hardwood mulches, several
colors of shredded landscape mulch, animal bedding products, a variety of firewood
materials and a discard wood product that we use for fuel wood application at cogeneration facilities throughout the Midwest.
As we inventory both feedstock materials for manufacture as well as produce final
products, space is a vital concern for this operation. We currently use about 15 acres in
the pit west of the power lines to store our various materials. These products are moved
aggressively during different times of the year, and are an integral part of the Midwest
Forestree product line.
Midwest Forestree is also the operating division that our fleet of transfer tractor trailer
units, log hauling equipment and mass land clearing equipment, predominately Cat type
skidders, Timbco and Morbark support equipment.
The Midwest Forestree brand is synonymous with dependable, cost effective, quality
services. Our list of clients is as diverse as any in the business; include companies such
as Plote Inc., Ryland Homes, Town and Country Homes, Kimball Hill Homes, Pepper
Construction, IDOT, Bell Land Improvement, Ryan Excavating, Kiewit Construction,
Rockford Blacktop, City of Chicago and numerous Northwest Municipal Council
member communities.
We anticipate that when we relocate to the 0-3 location, the Midwest Forestree integrated
operations will require about 15 acres of property for our combined finished product
inventory, feedstock inventory and manufacturing space requirements.

SUBJECT:
Request by New Haven Development, Inc. (owner) and Illinois
Distressed Property Solutions for a site plan amendment to
split the current obligations for O'Malley Farm subdivision
evenly between Lot 2 and Lot 3
MEETING DATE:
January 17,2011
COMMITTEE:
FROM:
Peter
REQUEST:
Request by New Haven Development, Inc. (owner) and Illinois
Distressed Property Solutions for a site plan amendment to split the
current obligations for O'Malley Farm subdivision evenly between
Lot 2 and Lot 3.
BACKGROUND:
The subdivision and site plan for O'Malley Farm were originally
approved in 2003. Since that time, a new house was built and sold
on Lot 1 of the three lot subdivision. In 2007 and 2008, the
developer, Mr. Castle with New Haven Development, returned to
the Village Board to request permission to demolish the farmhouse
on Lot 2, which was denied. The most recent such request was in
December 2008, at which time the project completion deadline was
extended to December 31, 2011.
PROPOSAL:
New Haven Development is now in the foreclosure process and
taking steps with the lender to move the project forward. The
foreclosure process has not yet been completed. The existing
obligations to renovate the farmhouse and to build a market rate
home on the vacant lot are not changing. However, it is more
likely, given that the project is in foreclosure, that the lots will be
able to be sold to two different buyers and the two house projects
undertaken separately.
GugliO&~JOSh Edwards JA-E
The financial obligations in terms of the Village subdivision
approval, guarantees, and deposits currently tie the lots together as
one project. This memo describes the basic proposal to split the
obligations in half between the two lots to prepare them for sale to
two buyers (but would not prevent one buyer from buying both
lots). If this request is approved, a buyer interested in renovating
the farmhouse can proceed toward purchasing Lot 2 regardless of
the obligations to build a new home on Lot 3, and vice versa.
The owner is represented by Mr. Jeffrey Wolff, with Illinois
Distressed Property Solutions, who is familiar with this project
history. Mr. Wolff specializes in distressed property sales and will
help locate a buyer for the unique farmhouse project.
NB3
January 17,2011
-2-
PROPOSAL: (Continued)
The farmhouse will be marketed to a prospective buyer for renovation to include a garage
addition, driveway, and rear building addition as originally planned. Lot 3 will be marketed as a
lot for sale for a house similar to that built on Lot 1. The petitioner will be present to respond to
questions about the proposed marketing of the two lots.
GUARANTEE FUNDS:
The Village Board approvals for the O'Malley Farm subdivision included financial obligations in
the form of guarantees and deposits for subdivision improvements and tree preservation and
mitigation. These guarantees have been tied to the subdivision as a package, which was typical
for a project being developed by one party (New Haven Development). However, with the
project in foreclosure, a new approach will be taken to sell the lots separately and to likewise
split the remaining guarantees and obligations equally between the lots.
These obligations do not include typical fees and costs that will occur at the time of construction,
such as the building permit fee, any outstanding liens, etc.
The following is an itemized accounting of the funds currently held for this project and the funds
required moving forward.
Funds on Deposit
$15,000
$ 5,700
$ 2,649
$22,649 Total
Funds Required
$14,100 tree mitigation
$10,000 tree preservation
$ 2,649 tree consultant
$26,749
All of these amounts are combined as one performance guarantee amount. The Village currently
holds all of these funds as a cash deposit. The difference in the funds already deposited and the
amount owed is $4,100. This is the amount that is needed for the project as a whole for tree
preservation going forward and for mitigation of previously removed trees. Dividing this
balance due between the two lots means that each buyer would be expected to submit $2,050. If
additional trees are installed on the properties then the tree mitigation fee would be reduced.
For accounting purposes, the total $26,749 will be split equally into two independent deposits.
The total balance for each lot after the $2,050 is submitted will be $13,374.50. Any future
refunds will be- addressed separately for each lot's funds. The guarantees will stay with the
owner of land so any future refunds would be given to the future buyer. The Village will keep
the deposits for each lot until all work is done on each lot.
Attached is a detail of the various deposits for this project.
CONDITIONS:
The original Village Board conditions have been carried forward since 2003, and staff
recommends that the conditions not be changed, with certain exceptions related to the above
funds.
-3-
January 17,2011
CONDITIONS: (Continued)
One of the conditions was a deadline for completion of the project (two new homes and
renovation of the farmhouse), which was previously extended to December 31, 2011. If this
approval is granted, it is recommended that the deadline be eliminated because it will no longer
be relevant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Request by New Haven Development, Inc. (owner) and Illinois Distressed Property Solutions for
a site plan amendment to change the current obligations for O'Malley Farm subdivision to split
the deposits and obligations evenly between Lot 2 and Lot 3 in accordance with the letter
submitted by Mr. Wolff dated January 7, 2011 related to this request.
The following conditions shall apply to Lot 2 and Lot 3 and any future owner of said lots.
Note: The following conditions are revisedfrom the prior approval.
1.
The petitioner shall obtain the building permits for Lots 2 and 3 by May 20,2011.
2.
The petitioner shall maintain each property and any building thereon per Village code
standards at all times. Failure to maintain the property may result in legal action by the
Village.
Note: The following conditions are repeated from the prior approval, with the exception of
Condition #5-d, which was modified to reflect splitting the funds for each lot.
3.
There are no recapture or traffic impact fees required with this development. Payment of
park and school donations shall occur in accordance with the Village Subdivision Code.
4.
In order to minimize the disturbances to the surrounding residences, construction parking
shall be generally limited to the driveway for the house under construction. When
on-street parking is necessary, it shall be limited to the north side of Freeman Road.
5.
The following conditions relate to the tree protection and tree preservation for the
property:
a.
Prior to the issuance of the building permit, tree protection measures shall be
completed in accordance with the plans approved on August 6, 2007, for Lots 2
and 3 and any additional tree protection procedures as specified by Development
Services staff.
.
b.
No work shall commence until the tree protection fencing has been installed.

January 17,20 II
RECOMMENDATION: (Continued)
c.
For the purpose of tree preservation, site plan amendment approval is contingent
upon the petitioner constructing the new houses as previously proposed, including
the location shown on the plans, grading around the home, etc. Changes to the
proposed model "footprint" that impact the trees beyond what is shown on the
approved plans or that differ substantially in size or character, as determined by
the Village from those shown in the approved plans, shall require a site plan
amendment.
d.
The owner or buyer of each lot shall provide funds in cash in the amount of
$2,050. If any mitigation trees are planted, the Village will refund mitigation fees
based on Table 4: Replacement Trees Required for Mitigated (Removed) Trees in
the Tree Preservation section of the Village code. A total performance guarantee
of $13,374.50 shall be dedicated to each lot.
e.
If existing preserved trees are damaged or removed during construction, the
petitioner shall plant additional mitigation trees. The number and size of
replacement mitigation trees shall be consistent with Table 4: Replacement Trees
Required for Mitigated (Removed) Trees in the Tree Preservation section of the
Village code.
f.
Prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy, in accordance with the
Village direction and upon consideration of the recommendation of an urban
forest professional, the trees and the finished lot condition shall be evaluated for
items the petitioner must implement. This shall include crown pruning,
fertilization, watering, and the location of the mulch, seed, or sod depending on
the location of critical root zones. Where seed is applied, the ground condition
shall be finely graded to provide positive drainage away from all trees in a manner
that avoids damage to the trees.
g.
At the time of final certificate of occupancy, the Village, in consultation with an
urban forester, will assess the condition of the preserved trees. If, in the opinion
of the Village, additional maintenance is necessary, then the petitioner shall
provide funds in an amount to be determined by the Village to maintain the trees
for up to an additional three years, and to remove them if requested by the
homeowner if such trees are determined to be in decline by the Village in
consultation with an urban forester.

Re: O'Malley Farm Subdivision
Peter,
Per our correspondence, the following is the Proposal to resolve any outstanding issues as it relates to expediting
the sale of lot2 and 1013 of the O'Malley Farm subdivision and to adhere to current Village requirements as it
relates to this property:
Per your attached summary of Deposits, the total deposited to date with the village for tree remediation and
project completion is $22,648.75. This leaves a shortfall of $4,100, bringing the total amount required by the
Village for the subdivision to $26,748.75. That would amount to $2050 owed per lot at closing.
My proposal is to divide all obligations of funds received and owed equally between Lot2(Farmhouse) and
lot3(vacant). Upon the closing of each parcel to a new owner, before transfer stamps are issued by the village,
notice of payment will be given by the village to that buyer of that remaining $2050.
We feel it's in the best interests of all parties to sell the farmhouse first, then move forward with selling the lot. In
the current economic climate, we anticipate 2 separate buyers.
The farmhouse has to be addressed first and we
feel there are buyers for that once any issues are resolved with the Village.
As it stands today, the remaining 2 lots of the O'Malley Farm subdivision have little or no value together along
with the legal issues that currently exist. If we do not act quickly, they could go to foreclosure, and then we are
dealing with the Bank owned property, and that is pretty ugly.
th
Please confirm that the next meeting is January 17
and if you need anything else from me.
Best Regards,;

Detail of O'Malley Farm Subdivision Guarantees and Deposits
TREE PRESERVATION:
A performance guarantee deposit was taken for the entire subdivision for tree preservation such
that if any trees are damaged or removed during construction that they would be replaced. For
the unfinished development, the Subdivision Code requires a minimum $10,000 as a
performance guarantee for the two lots for the tree preservation. The Village received a $15,000
guarantee for the trees in 2003, which is still being held. When the project is completed and
accepted by the Village, these funds will be refunded if the preserved trees remain.
PROJECT GUARANTEE:
An engineering project guarantee was taken at the beginning of the project as is typical for
residential subdivisions (for grading, sidewalks, public utilities, etc.). From this initial guarantee,
$5,700 remains. Currently all subdivision improvements are completed, except for the
preservation and potential planting of trees.
TREE MITIGATION:
These are the fees to mitigate trees that have been removed on both lots beyond those planned
for removal in the initial stage of development. Two trees died in the subsequent years and were
removed, which per the Subdivision Code requirements equated to $14,100 in mitigation fees, or
30 trees of varying calipers, or some combination of funds and new trees. The Village would
review any proposal to plant new trees to reduce the mitigation fee. The fees will be used to
plant trees on this project or transferred to the Village's tree fund to plant trees elsewhere in the
Village.
TREE CONSULTANT:
A deposit was taken at the beginning of the project for a third party tree consultant to inspect the
trees on the property and to help ensure their survival up to the point of occupancy of the homes.
Mr. Castle previously submitted funds for this purpose, of which $2,649 remains held in escrow.

entering of tickets is split between the remaining front counter employees and worked into their
daily schedule as time allows. Entering tickets also prevents one or more of the counter
personnel from assisting Finance in the Water Billing Division, which has also experienced staff
reductions due to retirements and reorganization caused by the poor economy.
DISCUSSION:
Notwithstanding the above, the Development Services and Finance Departments believe that we
would not need to refill the vacant position so long as there were accommodations in other areas
to reduce and/or spread the workload of the clerks. One area to look at is the extra service hours
provided to residents on Saturday momings and Monday evenings. Currently, one front counter
person comes in at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday momings and works until 12:00 noon or slightly
thereafter. On Monday nights, one front counter person works between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
They currently flex their work schedule to accommodate these hours which avoids overtime
costs. On Mondays, one front counter person will come in at 12:00 noon and work until 8:00
p.m. Thus, we are short staffed on Monday momings, which is the busiest time at the front
counter for building permits. For Saturday moming hours, the employee will take off a moming
or an aftemoon some time during the same week, often on Friday aftemoon, again leaving the
front counter with reduced staffing.
The reduced staffing on Fridays and Mondays is exacerbated when vacation and sick leave is
factored into the equation. Flexing hours complicates the staffing of the counter and maintaining
good customer service to residents and contractors.
The Code Enforcement Division has tracked customers on most Saturday momings and Monday
evenings and the statistics show that there are a fair number of residents who come to the front
counter on Saturday momings. However, on Monday evenings, we have averaged only 3-5
customers per Monday evening over the last two years (since the merger of Finance and Code
Enforcement duties at the front counter). This translates to about one customer every 45 minutes
or so. Due to lack of use of these hours by customers, the Development Services Department
requests consideration of eliminating the Monday evening front counter hours. Development
Services would continue the Saturday moming hours as more customers take advantage of
Saturday rather than Monday extra hours. Saturday moming hours are more effective with more
customers serviced, although this service is not typical nor provided by surrounding
communities.
The Village Clerk's office currently has Monday night office hours to accept passport
applications from walk-ins, Discussions with the Village Clerk indicate a desire to also
eliminate their Monday night hours. Passport applications would continue to be accepted on
Saturday momings.

January 17, 2011
DISCUSSION: (Continued)
An inquiry as to the counter hours at other municipalities revealed that only a handful provide
hours outside of the normal work day. Of the 30 communities surveyed, only Glendale Heights
(open to 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays), Hanover Park (open Thursdays to 7:30 p.m. from
May-September), and Morton Grove (Mondays and Thursdays to 6:00 p.m.). Beach Park
schedules weekend inspections, but requires an extra fee. It is interesting that no other
community has Saturday hours, yet we have more customers on Saturday morning than Monday
evemngs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Continue Saturday morning hours at the Village Hall and eliminate Monday night hours at the
Village Hall with an effective date of February 14,2011.

GENERAL ACTIVITIES
General Planning Efforts - Staff continues to meet with developers to discuss various sites that may be the subject of
development or redevelopment. Discussions with existing business owners regarding signage continue as businesses are
looking for new ways to survive during the depressed economy.
Planning responded to several Freedom of Information Act requests during the past month. These requests generally
involve research and review of site plans, ordinances, meeting minutes, correspondence and other documents.
Planning staff assisted with writing articles for the Citizen regarding recent economic development activities and
promoting the 59/90 District.
Training - Planning staff continues to seek training opportunities through free webinars that are periodically sponsored
by various agencies.
Websites - Planning staff continues to regularly update the Planning, CDBG, Census, Green, Grants, and Economic
Development portions of the Village website. Most current updates and improvements have focused on the Economic
Development pages, which can be viewed at www.hoffmanestates.org\ed.
Planning staff has been performing all regular updates to the Village's www.visithoffman.com website, where detailed
information can be found on events, dining, lodging, entertainment, and shopping opportunities. Planning has expanded
the information available regarding the Poplar Creek at 59/90 Entertainment District on the site, and other enhancements
continue to be made. As new Sears Centre events are announced, they are added to the visit Hoffman site.

Planning Division Monthly Report - January 17,2011
Poplar Creek at 59/90 Entertainment District - Planning staff continues to work with the Economic Development
Division on marketing and branding for the Prairie Stone Entertainment District, including promoting the use of the 59/90
logo by businesses within the District. Coordination is being done with businesses, including Cabela's and McShane,
regarding signage needs and how they will fit with the Village efforts. Staff continues to work on locations and designs
for Entertainment District signs at the three primary entrances to the District and talking to businesses who may be
interested in funding/partnering on these signs. The entry signs have been installed at Hoffinan Boulevard and Rt. 59.
Staff is also working with the marketing staff at the Sears Centre Arena to coordinate efforts.
Subdivision Acceptance - Planning staff continues to work with other departments on final punch list inspections for
subdivision acceptance of Beacon Pointe, Devonshire Woods, Yorkshire Woods and Beacon Pointe Drive extension.
Beacon Pointe - The developer has begun much of the punch list work in Beacon Pointe and has recently completed the
landscape replacements which have been reinspected and signed off as done.
Beacon Pointe Drive extension - Staff is working with Engineering to get the road completed with the project guarantee
money that was recently received. Staff is working to maximize the amount of work that can be completed with the
available funds.
Devonshire Woods - Staff continues to work with the bank that currently owns Devonshire Woods to get the north end of
the subdivision completed and has presented punch lists to get that work done as soon as possible for the benefit of the
current homeowners.
Yorkshire Woods - Staff continues to work with the Engineering Division to get the bonding company to complete all
outstanding issues and finish this subdivision as soon as possible for the benefit of the residents in that subdivision.
Autumn Woods - The developer has submitted a plat of consolidation for the first unit to return the platted lots back to
one large parcel. This will prevent sales of individual, unimproved lots without Village approval. Staff is working with
the developer on this situation. Only some grading and detention work has been completed and the developer is
marketing the entire property for sale.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
The Division maintains up to date CDBG Program information, including copies of past documents, public meeting
notices, RFPs, and current status for ongoing CDBG activities on the Village's website at www.hoffmanestates.org\cdbg.
General - The Village received the Program Year 5 grant award ($327,334) from HUD and is awaiting program fund
transfer. Funds will be spent in accordance with the previously approved Annual Action Plan. During the past month
HUD has been performing an in-depth off-site assessment of the Village's CDBG Program and has requested various
documents and reports. Planning staff has spent considerable time addressing these questions and providing information.
At this point it appears all major questions have been answered.
5-Year Consolidated Plan - Staffis working on the next five-year Consolidated Plan, which will be due in August 2011.
This Plan will address Village program goals for the next five years. Staff has been gathering and analyzing data in order
to recognize current community characteristics and needs. This information will be used to identify and prioritize project
funding in the five-year Plan. Public meetings to obtain community input were held at the end of November. Interviews
are occurring with area banking and real estate professionals were completed and public survey results were collected.
Planning staff met with Village Departments to identify Village infrastructure priorities and other needs, to be potentially
addressed by the CDBG program. Using this information, a plan is being drafted, and will be available in May for review.
Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation - North West Housing Partnership (NWHP), acting as the Village's subrecipient,
is currently working with several homeowners on the loan and construction application process for single family home
rehabilitation projects. A total of seventeen homes have been completed since 2006 and two more homes are nearing the
end of the construction process. Approximately eight households are on the current waiting list.

GRANTS
The Planning Division maintains up to date information, including a summary ofcurrent grant efforts and transparency
reporting information, on the Village's website at www.hoffmanestates.org\grants.
Staff continues to pursue additional rebates for current EECBG lighting projects and continues to search for and
investigate new grant opportunities through a variety of sources. The most recent required quarterly federal grant
reporting was completed by January 10, 2011. Additional follow-up required by the Department of Energy is being
completed.
Planning worked with Transportation on the coordination of the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant
for a no-match grant from Cook County for bicycle route signage and striping. Planning and Transportation also met with
the Regional Transportation Authority regarding the project management of the RTA grant received in fall 2010.

January 20 II
•
Met with Elgin hotels along Route 31 who are happy to pay to join the Hoffman Estates
Tourism Office. The hotels asked that we provide the fee that they would be required to
pay. I encouraged them to join the Hoffman Estates Chamber to be a part of Chamber
efforts, but at this time the leads and sales assistance would only be provided to Hoffman
Estates hotels. This could provide a revenue stream down the road and provide partners
for the Northwest Suburban Sports Council once we reactivate.
•
Met with staff to discuss involvement in the Chicago St. Patrick's parade. The Chicago
Express are calling to see if they will still accept an entry - they might have an inflatable
train that could be a dramatic float. The Chicago Slaughter are already in the Palatine St.
Patrick's parade and are looking to enhance their entry with Chamber members
involvement. Still being researched.
