Village President ATTEST: Village Clerk Packet Pg. 21 VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE Department of Finance & General Services Fifty Raupp Blvd. Buffalo Grove, IL. 60089-2100 Phone 847-459-2500 Fax 847-459-0332 Mr. Rick Mack Metra 547 West Jackson Blvd. Chicago, Illinois 60661 Dear Mr. Mack: VILLAGE OF kofala ueroue Groua October 29"', 2015 The Village of Buffalo Grove requests an increase to the daily parking fee paid at our Metra parking facility from the current $1.75 to $2.00, effective as of January 1, 2016. This is the first request for an increase since 2009. In terms of background, and in support of the request, I believe the following information is helpful in terms of framing the issue: Buffalo Grove incurs all costs pertaining to the maintenance of the parking lots, lighting fixtures (excluding the platform), and detention basins. The Village also owns and maintains the commuter depot and warming shelters. The majority of costs associated with the owning and maintaining the Metra station and lot are paid from parking revenue. The Village receives rent from a coffee shop tenant which represents less than one percent of the total revenue generated at the station. What have complicated our operating profile beginning in 2005 are land ]eases upon which all parking surface lies. We lease land from both Pace (about 10% of spots) or Commonwealth Edison (remainder of spots) and since 2004, when we were required to renegotiate our land leases with Edison to accommodate the large increase in parking required by Metra, lease costs have increased from $ 73,467 in 2004 to $144,259 by 2025. The Village of Buffalo Grove commuter utilization is not trending to meet the breakeven cost of maintaining the Metra station and lot. However the Village would like the lot to breakeven. The parking lot fund has a small fund balance but it does not pay for its own snow and ice removal, nor, structural improvements to the building or parking lot itself. The Village anticipates that the parking lot fund, under the current agreement, will expend all of the accrued fund balance in 2015 if all direct costs are charged back and subsequently run a deficit position in 2016 and into perpetuity. Included, and in support of this request, is the Village's financial summary of our Commuter Station Parking Lot Fund. Actual operating results are provided from the 2014 CAFR. While costs, exclusive of lease payments remain somewhat stable, a resurfacing project and other significant capital maintenance work within parking areas will need to be made. It is the Village's goal to keep the facilities looking and operating at its best. The increase can start to help the lot become less reliant on the Villages operating fund and move towards covering its own costs. As requested, our desire would be to increase the daily parking fee by $.25. The result of the increase would be over $30,000 annually and cover the increase costs projected for 2016 and build a small reserve towards the eventual resurfacing of the lot in the near future, per the Villages Engineering department who assesses all roads and Village owned facilities, anticipate it could be as soon as 2017. While the increase does not eliminate the reported or anticipated deficits in future years, it is a measure to begin bridging the gap and having a de minimis impact on commuters. This increase is not anticipated to reduce or detour utilization of the lot..

Dundee Road Background Starbucks has recently applied for a Class E liquor license for their existing store at 1205 W. Dundee Road. The request is part of a new concept that Starbucks is rolling out at select locations throughout the country called "Starbucks Evenings". This concept includes expanding Starbucks offerings with beer and wine in the afternoon and evenings for customers as well as "small plate" food items for onsite consumption. After 2PM and until close of business, customers will be able to get a glass of wine or beer for onsite consumption. Customers would order the alcoholic beverage at the counter, as they would coffee, and receive the alcoholic beverage before sitting at a table inside the premises. Currently, Starbucks has an outdoor patio next to the existing Noodles and Company, who also has a Class E liquor license. Unlike Noodles and Company, whose customers sitting outside receive their alcoholic beverages via a server, Starbucks customers would be able walk outside with their alcoholic beverage to get to the patio area, which is partially enclosed with a fence. As this could lead to customers leaving the premises with the alcoholic beverage, Starbucks will be prohibiting alcoholic beverages outside and in the patio area until a more defined plan is established. In the interim, Starbucks will be providing signage inside the store notifying customers that alcohol will not be permitted in the outside patio area. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Village Board approve an Ordinance reserving a Class E liquor license for Starbucks at 1205 W. Dundee Road.

Staff began the bid process in November and published the bid invitation in the usual media outlets as wel I as both of our online portals. Staff also e-mailed out 24 invitations to bid, directly to local businesses. Bids were received and opened on December 14, 2015. After open i ngthe bi ds JTS Architects reviewed the bid sub mitta Is and noted that the bids received were considerably more expensive than anticipated. The lowest basebidamountof $67,000 from Master Project, Inc., was 33% higher than the Architects estimate. Staff concurred with JTS Architects opinion that the bids received were too high. Staff has requested that JTS Arch i tects workwith Vi Ilage staff to cl arifycertain items in the currents et of pl ans and specifications such that the project can be rebid. The expectation would then be that the cIarificationswould lead to lower pricing for this project. The bid tabulation is attached to this memo.

Recommendation of Action Staff recommends discussion. MJK Real Estate Holding Company, LLC (MJK) is the contract purchaser of the unincorporated 1.5 acre property currently improved with the existing PJ's Restaurant and the former McDonalds (recently demolished). MJK is finalizing their plans for a new retail development and is seeking comments from the Village Board prior to completing their full application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a public hearing. The developer will provide the Village Board with a brief presentation of their concept plan at the January 4, 2016 Village Board meeting. The attached memorandum provides a brief summary of their project.

MJK is finalizing their plans for a new 12,000 square foot retail development split between two (2) buildings. Because the property is unincorporated, the development would be subject to an annexation agreement. Therefore, the developer is seeking comments from the Village Board and referral to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The following memorandum provides a brief summary of their project. PROPOSED PLAN The site consists of the existing PJ's Restaurant and a former McDonalds. The McDonalds building was recently demolished and staff is unaware if McDonalds plans to reopen a new restaurant along the corridor. MJK (Developer) is proposing to demolish the existing PJ's and construct two (2) new retail buildings with a combined square footage of approximately 12,000 square feet. The southern building would include a drive -through to accommodate a new quick service restaurant. While a final tenant mix has not been identified, MJK has indicated that another restaurant has provided a letter of intent to occupy the end cap unit of the northern building. MJK also notes that they have already received significant interest from other retail tenants. Parking & Access While the final site plan is subject to refinement as part of the public hearing process, the Developer is providing a total of 75 parking spaces, which meets Village Code. They are also providing sufficient stacking for the drive -through. It appears that some variations may be required to address the dimensional requirements of the parking lot. Access to the site would be provided by a single full access curb -cut onto Milwaukee Avenue. As part of the annexation agreement, the developer is seeking rights to a future cross access connection when the Berensa Plaza property redevelops. If approved, staff will work with the Developer on the best location for the future access point(s). The development would also have cross access to the existing unincorporated office building to the south. Signage MJK will be seeking a variation to allow for one (1) multi -tenant sign to be twenty-five feet (25') high along Milwaukee Avenue. The proposed new sign would replace the existing PJ's sign and the former McDonalds sign which were approximately thirty-five feet (35') high. The current Lake County Sign Page 1 of 2 Packet Pg. 33 11.B.a Ordinance allows a freestanding sign to be up to thirty feet (30') high. Village Code currently allows a maximum height of fifteen feet (15'). Utilities/Site Engineering Sewer and water for the existing site is provided by Lake County to the west (rear) of the parcel on Ash Street. Although the Developer would be connecting to the existing Village water main located at the northeast corner of their site, they are requesting to remain on the County's sewer main. While it has been Village policy to require new developments to connect to the Village's sewer mains as part of an annexation, staff has determined that a connection to the Village's sewer main is not ideal at this location and would not benefit future properties to the south. The nearest Village sewer main is located over 600' to the north and west in Deerfield Parkway. Both Village and County sewer systems flow to the same Lake County treatment plant to the southwest of the proposed development. If the Developer were to extend and connect to the Village's sewer, it would have to be pumped north and west via a lift station, and then be gravity fed back south to the treatment plant. As a result, staff has no objection allowing the development to remain on the County's sewer. The proposed development will require some variations to the Village's development and floodplain regulations. As previously discussed, the Village's regulations are more restrictive than those standards in the Lake County Stormwater Management Watershed Development Ordinance. Staff is in the process of amending the Village's Code to align with the County. However, those amendments may not be complete until after the project proceeds through the entitlement process. ANNEXATION Currently, Ash Street, which is maintained by Vernon Township, directly abuts the property. Should the Village Board approve the annexation of the property, the portion of Ash Street abutting the property would come within the jurisdiction of the Village and become the maintenance responsibility of Buffalo Grove. Village staff has had preliminary discussions with the Township who have indicated a willingness to continue maintenance of the roadway. This will likely require an intergovernmental agreement with Vernon Township. PROCESS Should the Board conceptually support the project; the item can be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss more specific details concerning parking, setbacks, building design, signage and other bulk regulations. Based on the current configuration, the following approvals will be required: • Annexation and rezoning to B3 Planned Business District • Preliminary plan approval • Variations for parking lot design, signage and development regulations • Special Use for the drive -through ACTION REQUESTED E Both staff and the developer are seeking the Board's thoughts and comments concerning the plan. Should the Board conceptually support the plan; the item can be referred to the Planning and Zoning o Commission for the necessary public hearings. m c d E z U a Page 2 of 2 Packet Pg. 34 11.B.b ij "WCO:1 1"� MapOff icerm „QJrJuwuroMNMm"�" ..._ .. i Peas°a r Pear��u r December 30, 2015 umv wows M1 .,�u.a .. .h ,:mft✓:�.. ..�:,.

Milwaukee Ave Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 Dear Mr. Stilling, We would like to take this opportunity to briefly outline our intentions for the subject parcels identified above and provide you with a brief overview of past retail projects recently completed by the MJK Team. Our vision for the two available Parcels along Milwaukee Ave is to demolish the Pizza Restaurant Parcel; the McDonald's building has been recently demolished and is now an open field. We intend to construct a multi -building retail development to accommodate Quick Service Restaurants, one of which will utilize a Drive Thru. Lower impact General Retail tenants such as a mobile phone outlet and/or a bedding retailer will occupy the balance of the available space(s). We are are in the process of finalizing our tenant lineup. The site has been designed to efficiently & safely receive & circulate vehicles through the development without disruption to parked areas or interfere with the drive through component of the development. We intend to propose extensive use of masonry materials for a highly refined and polished retail development. Current retailers insist on being provided aesthetically pleasing fagade designs that help compliment their trade dress concepts. Therefore, with the use of various materials, such as; masonry & prefinished metal elements (sun shades above windows) a cohesive design concept will be achieved. Screening of roof top equipment will be provided through the use of full -height masonry parapet walls. Additionally, the proposed landscape improvements will further enhance the development's high -end feel and will soften the masonry backdrop. For more than 20 years, the MJK Team has shepherded multiple retail developments of similar size & scale and has successfully proposed solutions to similar design challenges. Our design strategy is based on the premise that our developments are a long term investment with nationally recognized tenants that currently occupy multiple existing MJK Retail Developments. Enclosed are examples of retail developments at various stages of design through completion. Please contact me directly with any comments or questions.
