RE:

A PROCLAMATION ESTABLISHING APRIL 26, 2024 AS ARBOR DAY IN
THE VILLAGE OF LA GRANGE

The attached Proclamation declares Friday, April 26, 2024, as Arbor Day in La Grange.
The Village is well known for its tree-lined streets and dedication to a healthy, and
thriving, urban canopy. In recognition of this dedication, the Village has been named a
Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation for 41 consecutive years and has
received its tenth Tree City USA Growth Award for outstanding forestry management
practices.
Official observance of Arbor Day is one of the criteria for qualification as a Tree City
USA. This observance serves to honor the legacy of Franklin Cossitt, the Village’s
founding father, who planted the Village’s first urban forest.
This year, Arbor Day will be celebrated with the students from 7th Avenue Elementary
School and will include a tree planted on the grounds of the school. The tree planting
ceremony will take place on Friday, April 26th. All are encouraged to join in the
observance of Arbor Day on April 26, 2024.

RE:

A PRESENTATION FROM THE ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION
REGARDING ENDORSEMENT OF THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN FOR THE
CHICAGO REGION

The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (MMC), a membership organization consisting of 275
cities, towns, and Villages in the region, led the development of a Climate Action Plan
for the Chicago Region (CAP). The plan encompasses two goals, each with its own
interim targets and objectives, to reduce future impacts and adapt to a changing
climate. They include (1) net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and (2) persistent,
equitable climate adaptation. The Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) has
reviewed and discussed the benefits of adopting the CAP over the past year to better
understand how this additional framework would align with Village sustainability efforts.
The primary framework currently followed by the Village is the Greenest Region
Compact II, which provides measured sustainability goals across a broad array of
initiatives. The CAP includes some overlap; however, it includes more comprehensive
strategies aimed at reducing GHG emissions which will in turn mitigate climate change.
The benefits of adopting the CAP include partnering with MMC and other larger
national agencies in working to measure regional greenhouse gas data, assess regional
climate risk, and evaluate vulnerability efforts. Currently, 42 municipalities and counties
have endorsed the CAP through resolution. A list of these entities can be found in
Attachment 3. The CAP sets science-based mitigation targets for greenhouse gas
emissions reduction and equitable climate adaptation targets. Although the plan is
regional in scope, strategies in the plan are specifically tailored for action at the
municipal scale.
The EQC will present their review of the CAP, provide additional background, and
provide a recommendation regarding a resolution to adopt the 2021 Climate Action
Plan for the Chicago Region. The resolution would be non-binding and provide access
to a regional framework that has additional resources to track and measure regional
progress towards these goals. Upon adoption, the EQC would include related goals into
their 2024 Work Plan and measure and report progress as part of their annual review.

3-A. 1

The Climate Action Plan, along with the Greenest Region Compact II, measures and
guides implementation of well-established best practices in sustainability, and would
stand to inform the consideration of policies in the area of sustainability and greenhouse
gas emissions reduction.
Staff is seeking Village Board direction on whether to prepare a resolution for the
adoption of the Climate Action Plan for the Chicago Region for consideration at an
upcoming Village Board meeting.

Charity Jones, Deputy Village Manager/CD Director

DATE:

April 22, 2024

RE:

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 111 OF THE LA GRANGE CODE
OF ORDINANCES REGARDING CLASS A LIQUOR LICENSES

Class A Liquor Licenses authorize the sale of alcohol at retail for consumption on the
licensed premise. Under current provisions, a licensee cannot sell alcohol for offpremises consumption unless the sale falls within two limited exceptions. These
exceptions include:
1) The sale is a bottle of wine in its original packaging, from the restaurant’s
regular stock, to a customer that has consumed a meal in the restaurant
immediately prior to the sale.
2) The licensee is a brewpub, as defined in the Code of Ordinances, selling beer
brewed on their premises.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor issued Executive Orders that allowed for
carryout and curbside pickup sales of bottles of alcohol in original packaging and mixed
drinks/cocktails made in the establishment, as long as the drinks were in sealed
containers. The Village mirrored these provisions in temporary riders that were issued
to each establishment’s liquor license, the last of which accompanied the May 2020April 2021 liquor licenses.
In 2021, applicable State Statutes changed allowing for to-go cocktail sales in Illinois
until August 2028. The law provides that properly trained employees of the licensee can
deliver cocktails, but prohibits third party delivery. Under State licensing, sales for offpremises consumption are only allowed if the restaurant holds the proper retailer license
allowing for on & off premise sales.
The State law did not preempt or modify the terms of existing local liquor codes. As
such, sales of this nature are not provided for in the Village Code of Ordinances. La
Grange restauranteurs have shared that through relationships with liquor distributors
they have access to specialty items not readily available for retail sale elsewhere
(products, for example, like small-batch bourbons). Other local restaurants use unique
liqueurs and other specialty products in mixing cocktails. Beyond local interest in to-go
sales, the National Restaurant Association has reported an increasing demand for take-

out alcohol, which mirrors recent increases in take-out food service as part of the
operation of full-service restaurant operations.
In response to the interest in these sales by the La Grange restaurant community, the
Liquor Commission met on April 11, 2024 to discuss proposed amendments to the Code
of Ordinances that would allow Class A liquor licensees to offer to-go liquor sales. The
proposed amendments were drafted to meet several objectives, including:
1) Alignment with provisions found in current State liquor license classifications;
2) To provide for “cocktails to-go” in alignment with new State law; and
3) Allow for limited package sales of bottles of wine, beer, and liquor in original
packaging for off-premises consumption.
Due to the average price point of the potential off-premises sales as compared to the
average check price, the proposed amendments exclude off-premises sales revenue
from calculations related to a restaurant’s compliance with the minimum 60% food sales
requirement. The amendments also include language to clarify reporting requirements.
Based on the unanimous support of the Liquor Commission, staff has worked with the
Village Attorney in preparing the proposed amendments.

to extend COVID-era regulations allowing restaurants to allow to-go liquor sales for an
additional five years; and
WHEREAS, the Liquor Commission recently reviewed the current restaurant
regulations regarding (i) to-go liquor sales, (ii) the proportion of total revenue that may
come from the sale of alcoholic liquor, and (iii) sales of alcoholic liquor for off-premise
consumption, and found that changes are warranted to better align with State law and
to provide additional clarity to holders of Class A liquor licenses regarding the
applicable regulations; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of La Grange have
determined that it is appropriate and useful to amend liquor regulations for Class A
restaurant licenses as provided in this Ordinance;

RE:

AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO
REZONE THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF STONE
AVENUE AND NORTH OF HILLGROVE AVENUE INTO THE C-2 WEST
END COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

Grayhill, Inc. (the “Applicant”) is the owner of the manufacturing company’s sprawling
campus located in the Village’s West End Commercial District at 561-601 W. Hillgrove
Ave (the “Subject Property”). The Village Board of Trustees recently granted approvals
of an amendment to a planned development, special use permit, and site plan (O-2410) on April 8, 2024.
The requests were related to ground mounted A/C equipment, a fence, and signage on
the property. The Applicant had additionally requested approval of a zoning map
amendment to rezone the Stone Ave visitor parking lot from R-8 Multiple-Family
Residential to C-2 West End Commercial to be in harmony with the balance of the
Subject Property. The ordinance approving the text amendment was inadvertently
omitted from the April 8, 2024 Village Board packet. Approval of the proposed
ordinance will result in uniform zoning throughout the subject property and address the
balance of Grayhill, Inc.’s requests. This would apply to parcels with the following PINS:
18-04-112-031-0000, 18-04-112-030-0000, 18-04-112-029-0000, 18-04-112-054-0000,
18-04-112-032-0000, 18-04-112-033-0000, 18-04-112-034-0000.
Staff has worked with the Village Attorney in developing the attached ordinance.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
VILLAGE OF LA GRANGE
PLAN COMMISSION
CASE #275
Special Use for a Planned Development, Site Plan Approval, and Zoning Map Amendment for
Grayhill at 561-601 W. Hillgrove Avenue

3. Members of the Public were in attendance at the meeting and raised concerns regarding
excess noise from the Subject Property’s A/C units impacting nearby residential properties.
Members of the Public also raised concerns regarding maintenance of a fence on the
property.
Section 13-103 of the Zoning Code provides that the Plan Commission must make written
findings on all recommendations it advances to the Village Board based on the testimony and
evidence presented at the public hearing. The following facts were found for each applicable
standard of the La Grange Zoning Code:
FINDINGS REGARDING STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USES
La Grange Zoning Code §14-401E1 states that no special use permit shall be recommended or
granted unless the applicant establishes the following:
A. Code and Plan Purposes: The proposed use and development will be in harmony with the

general and specific purposes for which this Code and with the general purpose and intent
of the Official Comprehensive Plan.

Please see the “Authority to Modify Regulations – Standards” section for detailed
discussion of this standard as it relates to a Planned Development.
B. No Undue Adverse Impact: The proposed use and development will not have a substantial

or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the area, or the public
health, safety, and general welfare.

Please see the below “No Interference with Surrounding Development,” and “No Traffic
Congestion” sections for detailed discussion of the surrounding area’s character and traffic
considerations relative to the proposed development.
The surrounding area of the Subject Property is largely zoned C-2 Commercial, although
there are single-family and multiple-family residences to the north that surround the
development, but are currently buffered by rear parking lots and landscaping elements.
The Applicant is not proposed any new pavement, nor any changes to bulk and size of
either existing building. The Applicant proposes no changes to the previously approved
area for the processing and assembly of electrical and electronic equipment and
components. The Applicant proposes signage on the property that is not visible from
nearby single-family residential properties and primarily face other commercial businesses
and the Stone Avenue Metra Station, so adverse impacts from proposed signage is
negligible. Finally, the Applicant is proposing a 6’ fence on the parcel commonly addressed
as 707 W. Hillgrove Ave.
The Applicant is proposing two A/C ground-mounted units (existing currently – installed
without permits) in the surface parking lot located in the east surfacing parking lot. The
Applicant installed fencing to screen the two units from view. At the meeting, Members of
the Public raised noise concerns stemming from the units.

5-B. 9

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
3 of 12

The Plan Commission finds that the proposed special use will not have undue or adverse
impacts on the adjacent properties. To better complement the commercial and pedestrian
character of Hillgrove Ave., the Plan Commissions finds that the fence should be set back
a minimum of 3 feet from the lot line with landscaping features. To mitigate potential noise
impacts on surrounding properties, the Plan Commission finds that the applicant must work
with Village staff to adequately test and address noise concerns in a manner that is
reasonably acceptable to both the applicant and the Village with an enclosure that improves
upon what currently exists.
C. No Interference with Surrounding Development: The proposed use and development will

be constructed, arranged, and operated so as not to dominate the immediate vicinity or to
interfere with the use and development of neighboring property in accordance with the
applicable district regulations.

Please see No Undue Adverse Impact for a summary of how the proposed development
relates to the scale of other buildings in the vicinity and potential noise impacts from the
property. Please see below No Traffic Congestion for analysis regarding potential traffic
impacts and considerations relative to the proposed development.
The Applicant is not proposing substantial changes to the Subject Property that would have
the potential to impact use and development of surrounding properties. The proposed 6’
fence is not expected to bring about any visibility issues, nor will the structure exceed the
maximum allowable fence height per the Zoning Code. The proposed monument sign
meets the required area, height, front lot line setbacks, and clear sight area as required by
Village codes.
The Plan Commission finds that the proposed use and development will not interfere with
surrounding development.
D. Adequate Public Facilities: The proposed use and development will be served adequately

by essential public facilities and services or the applicant will provide adequately for such
services.
Please see below ‘No Traffic Congestion’ for analysis regarding potential traffic impacts
and considerations relative to the development.
The development is already served by necessary public facilities; no changes are proposed
that would require additional consideration. The development is already served by streets
and curb cuts. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to those existing facilities.
The Plan Commission finds that that the proposed special use will be served adequately by
public facilities.

E. No Traffic Congestion: The proposed use and development will not cause undue traffic

congestion nor draw significant amounts of traffic through residential streets.

The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the Subject Property that would be expected
to change the traffic flow and congestion throughout and surrounding the site. Grayhill is

5-B. 10

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
4 of 12

served by existing parking lots with curb cuts. The loss of two employee parking spaces is
not expected to impact traffic either, as the Applicant contends there is ample employee
parking. The 1982 PD ordinance requires the basement level of the parking garage to
provide 98 spaces and the first floor 89 spaces. Per the property’s plat of survey both levels
provide more parking than was approved. In total, the development offers 221 surface
spaces and 190 structured spaces for employees and 83 spaces for visitors.
The Plan Commission finds that the proposed special use will not cause undue traffic
congestion or further impact parking.
F. No Destruction of Significant Features: The proposed use and development will not result

in the destruction, loss, or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature of significant
importance.
The use and development of the Subject Property exists today. The Applicant is not
proposing any significant site work aside from A/C equipment, a fence, and signage. The
Applicant will be converting an existing gravel area to landscaped greenspace.
The Plan Commission finds that the proposed special use will not result in the destruction,
loss, or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature of significant importance.

G. Compliance with Standards: The proposed use and development complies with all

additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of this code authorizing such
use.

The Zoning Code does not have any additional standards for the requested special use.
Barring those requested deviations from the Zoning Code listed under Deviations from the
La Grange Zoning Code, the Plan Commission finds that the Applicant has shown a
willingness to comply with the relevant Zoning Code requirements.
FINDINGS REGARDING STANDARDS FOR LARGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
A.

Special Use Permit Standards for Large PD: No special use permit for a planned
development shall be recommended or granted pursuant to this Section unless the applicant
shall establish that the proposed development will meet each of the standards made
applicable to special uses pursuant to Subsection 14-401E of this Code.
Please see above section ‘Standards for Special Use’ for detailed discussion of these
standards.
B. Additional Standards for Large PD: No special use permit for a planned development shall

be recommended or granted unless the applicant shall establish that the proposed
development will meet each of the following additional standards:

5-B. 11

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
5 of 12

1.

Unified Ownership Required: The entire property proposed for planned

development treatment must be, in single ownership or under such unified
control as to ensure that the entire property will be developed as a unified whole.

The entirety of the Grayhill properties are not under unified ownership. The legal
entity Grayhill Inc. owes the majority of the development, while Waiola Property
Co. owns those parcels that contain the manufacturing/assembly building and
shipping/receiving building. The applicant contends the entities have a common
owner and that Grayhill, Inc team manages the operational, legal, and financial
aspects of both entities. The Plan Commission does not have concerns regarding
the ownership structure, but finds a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions between the Subject Property’s two legal entities must be
submitted to the Village.
The Plan Commissions finds the entire property is under unified control.
2.

Covenants and Restrictions to be Enforceable by Village: All covenants, deed

restrictions, easements, and similar restrictions to be recorded in connection with
the planned development shall provide that they may not be modified without
the express consent of the Board of Trustees and that they may be enforced by
the Village.

No easements are proposed as part of the current application. The Subject
Property’s plat of survey notes four recorded easements on the property,
located to the north of the office building, south of the visitor surface parking
lot, abutting the lots occupied by Antonino’s and Four Sons Mercantile, and at
the northeast corner of the intersection of Hillgrove Avenue and Stone Avenue.
These easements largely provide ingress and egress for the benefit of other
parties named in the easement agreements, presumed to be the adjacent
property owners. There is an additional easement within the Waiola Ave. cul-desac to allow the Village to maintain and operate all storm, sanitary services, water
mains, and public walkways.
The Plan Commission finds this standard to be met.
3.

Protected Open Space: Except under extraordinary circumstances determined

as sufficient by the Board of Trustees, the planned development must include
protected open space commensurate with the scale and design of the
development. The protected open space must be held in common ownership or
by an entity specifically responsible for the care and maintenance of the space.
The protected open space also must be (i) held for use by all residents or other
occupants of the development or (ii) dedicated to, and accepted by, the Village
of La Grange, the Park District of La Grange, a school district, or another public
entity as permanent common open areas for parks, recreation and/or related
public uses.
Village records indicate that a half-acre parcel was donated by Grayhill in the

80s, which is now Stone Park, located just north of the Applicant’s visitor parking
lot at the northwest corner of the development. The park is open to the public
and owned and operated by the Park District of La Grange.
The Plan Commission finds the development provides adequate protected open
face.
4.

Landscaping and Perimeter: To the fullest extent possible, any area of the

planned development not used for structures or circulation elements shall be
landscaped or otherwise improved.
The Grayhill planned development was approved with numerous landscaped
areas, including parking lot buffers, landscape elements along Hillgrove Ave
adjacent to the existing office building, and a landscaped spine in between the
development’s two main buildings.
The Plan Commission finds that additional landscaping be installed in between
the fence and the front lot line along Hillgrove Ave to provide landscaped area
to the fullest extent possible.

5.

Private Streets: The applicant must provide for all public improvements

necessary to serve the planned development, including without limitation streets,
sidewalks, lights, signs, underground utilities, and landscaping, to be constructed
or installed to Village standards at no cost to the Village.
The Grayhill planned development is already served by streets, lights, and
utilities. No improvements are proposed at this time that would be expected to
impact the Subject Property’s demand on public infrastructure.
The Plan Commission finds the planned development is served by necessary
public improvements.

6.

Pedestrian Circulation System: The planned development must include a

suitable pedestrian circulation system including appropriate walkways, paths,
trails, passageways, and other means of movement into, out of, and throughout
the development and including private or public sidewalks meeting the standards
of the La Grange Subdivision Code on both sides of every street in or abutting a
planned development.
The original pedestrian circulation system approved with the 1982 PD included
a pedestrian walkway between the Applicant’s two buildings with outdoor
seating and landscape elements. Sidewalks were provided along the rear
building façade and the parking facilities. Public sidewalks exist along Hillgrove
Avenue and Stone Avenue. No changes are proposed.
The Plan Commissions finds the development includes a suitable pedestrian
circulation system.

Utilities: All utility lines shall be installed underground.
There are no proposed changes to the Subject Property’s utilities. The Plan
Commission finds this standard met.

8.

The planned development must include
compensating amenities, if the applicant seeks a modification of any provision of
this Code.

Compensating

Amenities:

The original Grayhill planned development was granted modifications from
building FAR, but due to the date of the original file, Staff is unable to confirm
what deviations were granted in the original development that varied from the
Zoning Code codified at the time. As a part of the approval, Grayhill was
required to construct the landscaped walkway between the development’s two
buildings, and construct both the Stone Ave and Waiola Ave cul-de-sacs, which
included replacement and construction of water lines and fire hydrant.
In conjunction with the planned development amendment, the Applicant is also
requesting deviations from the Zoning Code related to signage and a fence.
The Plan Commission finds that the development includes sufficient
compensating amenities.
FINDINGS REGARDING STANDARDS TO MODIFY REGULATIONS

PDs are a distinct category of special use that allows the Zoning Code to be relaxed if they
impose inappropriate limitations on the proposed development or redevelopment of a parcel
of land that lends itself to an individual, planned approach.
No modification may be approved unless the Board of Trustees shall find that the proposed
planned development:
1. Will achieve the purposes for which planned developments may be approved
pursuant to Section 14-502:
Through the flexibility of a PD, the Village seeks to achieve the following seven
objectives:
A. Encouragement of flexibility in the development or redevelopment of land.
B. Creation of an appreciably more desirable environment than would be possible

through strict application of Village land use regulations, whether through
maximization of open space, or excellence in building and site design, or provision
of amenities not possible under the otherwise applicable requirements.
C. Promotion of creative architectural and site designs and resulting development.
D. Promotion of quality, useful open space and recreational opportunities.

5-B. 14

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
8 of 12

E. Promotion of environmentally sound development practices.
F. Facilitation of development in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
G. Promotion of public health, safety, and welfare
The Applicant’s requested deviations relate to signage and a fence on the property.
This property is a unique campus-like development with multiple buildings and four
parking lots (excluding the office building’s structured parking) that stretch across
multiple blocks. Aside from window signage on the office building’s entrance doors,
there is currently no signage on the property. The Applicant testified that the proposed
signs will not only help visitors to navigate the site, but it will also help establish
Grayhill’s identity and presence in the West End. The proposed fence will not exceed
the maximum allowable fence height for the property, and is proposed to complement
the style of the fencing at the outbound Stone Avenue Station platform, just to the
south of the Subject Property.
Plan Commission finds the development promotes an excellence of design.
2. Will not violate the general purposes, goals, and objectives of this Code and the
Official Comprehensive Plan; and
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject property as BNSF Core
Commercial, which “forms the business and civic core of the Village and functions as a
focal point for mixed-use activity. It includes retail and entertainment uses on the first
floor of buildings, and office, commercial services and residential uses above the first
floor.” The Village’s Comprehensive Plan states one of the goals for the BNSF Core
Commercial area is to “strengthen existing design standards addressing architectural
design, signage, parking lots, and site improvements and landscaping.” None of the
deviations requested by the Applicant propose any changes to the land use or impacts
to the existing character of the site and surrounding area. The Applicant is proposing a
fence along the front lot line of a parcel, and while this typically would be discouraged
for a commercial property within the Village’s core area, this site is currently improved
with gravel and not used for any commercial activity. The building in the rear serves as
storage. In conjunction with the fence, the Applicant is proposing to convert the gravel
into green space, beautifying the site. The Applicant’s provided narrative states the
fence is due to safety/security issues, as well as a desire to improve aesthetics. The
Applicant is amenable to providing a landscape plan as recommended by Plan
Commission.
Further, Zoning Code Section 11-101 lists the purposes and intent of the code’s sign
regulations, which includes “creating a more attractive economic and business climate
within the office and commercial areas of the Village” and “enabling the public to locate
goods, services, and facilities in the Village without confusion.” The Applicant testified
that the signage will visitors navigate the site as well as attract potential new employees
due to the high-visibility from the Stone Ave. Metra Stop.
The Plan Commission finds the deviations do not violate the general purposes, goals,
and objectives of the Zoning Code and the Official Comprehensive Plan.

3. Will result in a development providing compensating amenities to the Village.
Compensating amenities means features not otherwise required to achieve compliance
with the standards of this Code or applicable Village codes and ordinances, including
such things as public art, plazas, pedestrian walkways, natural habitats, increased
landscaping, buffering or screening, enhanced streetscape, enhanced pedestrian and
transit supportive design, underground parking and similar features. Compensating
amenities must be proposed as part of a PD application, and all compensating amenities,
whether public or private, must be developed and constructed at the applicant’s
expense.
Please see ‘Compensating Amenities’ above under ‘Additional Standards for large PD’
for analysis of this standard.
FINDINGS REGARDING STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Per the Zoning Code, site plan approval is required in connection with any development that
requires a special use permit. Zoning Code §14-402F1 establishes 14 standards for the review
of site plan applications. These standards are intended to ensure the proposed development
complies with the applicable requirements of the Zoning Code and will not have undue adverse
impacts on adjacent property, the character of the area, and public health and safety. The Plan
Commission finds that the proposed site plan will not have undue adverse impacts on the
adjacent property, the character of the area, and public health, safety, or welfare.
STANDARDS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE
The decision to amend the Zoning Code is a legislative decision that is within the sound
discretion of the Plan Commission and Village Board. As set forth in §14-605 of the Zoning
Code, the decision is not dictated by any strict application of a set standards. However, § 4605 does provide standards that may be considered when making the legislative
determination. Those standards are as follows:
1. The consistency of the proposed amendments with the purposes of the Zoning Code.
Section 1-102 of the Zoning Code lists 21 purposes, several of which are applicable to the
requested map amendment, including the intent to: establish a rational pattern of land uses
and encourage the most appropriate use of individual parcels of land in the Village; protect
the scale and character of the existing residential, business, commercial, industrial, and
office development areas of the Village from the encroachment of incompatible uses; and
to protect and enhance the taxable value of land and buildings. Section 1-102 of the Zoning
Code lists 21 purposes, several of which are applicable to the requested text amendment,
including the intent to: secure adequate natural light, clean air, privacy, a safe environment,
and convenience of access to property; promote and protect the public health, safety,
morals and the general welfare of the Village; and protect and enhance the taxable value
of land and buildings.
The first purpose of the Zoning Code is to “implement and foster the goals and policies of

5-B. 16

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
10 of 12

the Village’s Official Comprehensive Plan.” The 2005 Comprehensive Plan designates this
particular property as High Density Residential. The existing use of the property is in conflict
with the Comprehensive Plan, the use predates the Plan’s adoption by as much as 65 years.
The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the site’s design or use.
Zoning Code Section 5-101 lists the purpose of the C-2 West End Commercial District,
which is to “to provide areas in the Burlington-Hillgrove commercial corridor for existing
commercial uses. This district is designed to encourage both the retention of existing
businesses and the redevelopment of new uses compatible with nearby residential uses.”
The current use of the property is for commercial parking, which is not in harmony with the
Zoning Code Section 4-101 that designates the R-8 District for residential uses. The
proposed rezoning would bring the property’s current use into alignment with the Zoning
Code and support the continued existing operations on the Subject Property, which have
been previously granted approval as a special use permit or planned development.
The Plan Commissions finds the proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes of
the Zoning Code.
2. The community need for the proposed amendments and for the uses and development
they would allow.
The proposed amendment does not impact the property’s existing use today as a
commercial parking lot. The proposed amendment actually brings this property into
compliance with current zoning regulations, as well as creating harmony with one-single
zoning classification for the development.
The Plan Commissions finds the amendment addresses a community need for the proposed
amendment.
3. If a specific parcel of property is the subject of the proposed amendment, then the
following factors apply:

(a) The existing uses and zoning classifications for properties in the vicinity of the subject
property.
(b) The trend of development in the vicinity of the subject property, including changes, if
any, in such trend since the subject property was placed in its present zoning
classification.
(c) The extent, if any, to which the value of the subject property is diminished by the
existing zoning classification applicable to it.
(d) The extent, if any, to which any such diminution in value is offset by an increase in the
public health, safety, and welfare.
(e) The extent, if any, to which the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties would be
affected by the proposed amendment.

5-B. 17

La Grange Plan Commission
Findings and Recommendation – Case #275
Grayhill Planned Development Amendment, 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave.
11 of 12

(f) The extent, if any, to which the value of adjacent properties would be affected by the
proposed amendment.
(g) The extent, if any, to which the future orderly development of adjacent properties
would be affected by the proposed amendment.
(h) The suitability of the subject property for uses permitted or permissible under its
present zoning classification.
(i) The availability, where relevant, of adequate ingress to and egress from the subject
property and the extent to which traffic conditions in the immediate vicinity of the
subject property would be affected by the proposed amendment.
(j) The availability, where relevant, of adequate utilities and essential public services to the
subject property to accommodate the uses permitted or permissible under its present
zoning classification.
(k) The length of time, if any, that the subject property has been vacant, considered in the
context of the pace of development in the vicinity of the subject property.
(l) The reasons, where relevant, why the subject property should be established as part of
any overlay district and the positive and negative effects such establishment could be
expected to have on persons residing in the area.

Existing and Historical Land Uses - This property has been utilized at a parking lot since
1967. It has been zoned R-8 Multiple-Family Residential since at least 1991. The character
of the surrounding area is well established and has been relatively stable and has remained
a mix of commercial and residential.

Site Considerations / Public Utilities - The proposed rezoning would not require any
additional public utilities as the intended use is existing today.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission, on a vote of 6-0, recommends to the President and Board of Trustees
approval of the Application, subject to the conditions recommended below.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The Plan Commission recommends the following conditions on the approval of the Special Use
for a Planned Development, Site Plan Approval, and Zoning Map Amendment:
1. Screening of the ground-mounted utility equipment seen from Hillgrove Ave in
front of the shipping/receiving building.
2. Screening of the refuse area seen from Hillgrove Ave in front of the
shipping/receiving building.

3. A landscape plan must be submitted and approved by staff to accompany the
installation of the proposed fence and ground sign.
4. A Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions between the Subject
Property’s two legal entities must be submitted to the Village
5. The fence along Hillgrove must be set back no more than a minimum of less three
feet from the south front property line.

PROPOSAL
PRIOR APPROVALS & PROJECT SUMMARY
Grayhill, Inc. (the “Applicant”) is the owner of the manufacturing company’s sprawling campus
located in the Village’s West End Commercial District, one of the Village’s largest employers,
at 561-601 W. Hillgrove Ave (the “Subject Property”) (Figure 1). The Applicant is requesting:
(1) an Amendment to a Planned Development, (2) Special Use Permit, (3) Site Plan Approval,
and (4) Zoning Map Amendment. Per the Applicant, Grayhill designs and manufactures intuitive
interfaces with finely tuned haptics, with standard products including optical and mechanical
encoders, rotary switches, joysticks, keypads, and pushbuttons. (Attachment 1). Currently,
Grayhill operates their company headquarters within the west office building (located at the
northeast corner of Stone Ave. and Hillgrove Ave.), and processing/assembly and
shipping/receiving within the buildings directly to the east (northwest corner of Spring Ave.
and Hillgrove Ave.); the Subject Property also includes multiple adjacent surface parking lots
(Figure 2).

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

Figure 2: Aerial showing timeline of various Village approvals throughout the Subject Property.

Grayhill’s history within the Village dates back to as early as 1944. In 1967, Grayhill was granted
a variation (O-67-11) to allow the extension of its existing use of processing and assembly of
electrical and electronic equipment and components. In 1974, the Applicant was further
granted a special use permit for the use’s continued operations.. In 1976, a special use permit
was granted for Grayhill’s off-site visitor parking lot, located just south of Stone Park (O-7635). In 1982, a special use permit for a planned development and site plan approval were
granted to allow the construction of a new office building, structured parking garage and
surface lots which can be seen on the property today (O-82-38). This project also vacated a
portion of Waiola Ave to allow the construction of a landscaped walkway that can be seen
today in between the office building and the buildings to the east. Other portions of the Subject
Property were not included in Grayhill’s previous zoning approvals. See Figure Two above for
a detailed map.
The current application is the result of minor proposed improvements on the Subject Property
that require amendments to some of Grayhill’s prior approvals and provide the opportunity for
the Village and the Applicant to update and clarify the property’s historical zoning entitlements.
In late 2022, the Village became aware that both ground- and roof-mounted mechanical
equipment were installed on the property without first obtaining a Village building permit. The
ground A/C unit was constructed on the parking lot directly to the north of the manufacturing
& assembly building resulting in the loss of one parking space. The parking lot is regulated by

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

the 1982 planned development and site plan; as such, an amendment to these approvals is
required per Section 14-512 of the Zoning Code. Grayhill is also seeking to construct a 6’ metal
fence on an irregularly shaped parcel located south of the Stone Ave visitor parking lot, which
has frontage on both Stone Ave and Hillgrove Ave (just to the west of Antonino’s Ristorante);
a parcel that has not been included in Grayhill’s previous zoning approvals. The Applicant also
intends to improve the existing gravel lot to grass. As part of overall improvements to the
Subject Property, a sign package has been submitted to erect wall signage and a monument
sign to help visitors and employees navigate the multiple-lot development. Finally, Grayhill is
also requesting approval of a zoning map amendment to rezone the Stone Ave visitor parking
lots from R-8 Multiple-Family Residential to C-2 West End Commercial to be in harmony with
the Zoning Code’s regulations.
If approved, the ordinances prepared in response to the current applications will effectuate a
clean up of the Subject Property’s various prior approvals and consolidate all zoning
entitlements for the Subject Property into one Planned Development ordinance.

STAFF ANALYSIS
STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USES
La Grange Zoning Code §14-401E1 states that no special use permit shall be recommended or
granted unless the applicant establishes the following:
A. Code and Plan Purposes: The proposed use and development will be in harmony with the

general and specific purposes for which this Code was enacted and for which the regulations
of the district in question were established and with the general purpose and intent of the
Official Comprehensive Plan.
Please see ‘Authority to Modify Regulations – Standards’ for analysis of this standard.

B. No Undue Adverse Impact: The proposed use and development will not have a substantial

or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the area, or the public
health, safety, and general welfare.

The surrounding area of the Subject Property is largely zoned C-2 Commercial, although
there are single-family and multiple-family residences to the north that surround the
development, but are currently buffered by rear parking lots and landscaping elements.
The Applicant is not proposed any new pavement, nor any changes to bulk and size of
either existing building.
Processing and assembly of electrical and electronic equipment and components is no
longer a permitted or special use in the C-2 District. Per the current Zoning Code,
manufacturing uses are limited to the I-1 Industrial zoning district. The Applicant proposes
no changes to the previously approved area for the processing and assembly of electrical
and electronic equipment and components and therefore no adverse impacts to other
properties are anticipated by the requested amendments to prior zoning approvals.
The Village was first alerted to the ground-mounted A/C equipment installed without a
permit from neighboring property complaints due to noise, largely due in part to the
equipment not having proper screening. Once notified by the Village of these violations,
the Applicant was quick to respond and erect a fence compliant with the Zoning Code’s
screening regulations. Following that, the Village received no further complaints regarding
the unit. The unit is located to the rear of the manufacturing & assembly building, in the
first row of parking stalls closest to the building and farthest from the nearby single-family
residences to the north and east (Figure 3). Further, there is a fence and landscape materials
along Grayhill’s north and east lot lines providing further screening.

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

Figure 3: Ground A/C unit installed without permit between 561 Grayhill (Manufacturing/assembly building)

The Applicant is proposing to construct a 6’ fence on the Subject Property’s most-western
parcel, directly abutting Antonino’s Ristorante located at the northwest corner of Hillgrove
Ave and Stone Ave. Per the Application materials, the fence is proposed to match that of
Metra’s Stone Avenue Station across Hillgrove to the south. Article 9-105 of the Zoning
Code prohibits fences in between the front lot line and front building line on a zoning lot
(Attachment 1). Because the fence is open in design, it is not expected to inhibit light, air,
or visibility for adjacent properties.
The Applicant is also proposing a sign package for the planned development, which
includes one internally illuminated ground sign at the northeast corner of Hillgrove Ave and
Stone Ave, two internally illuminated wall signs, and one non-illuminated wall sign for the
manufacturing & assembly building. None of the proposed signage is visible from nearby
single-family residential properties and primarily face other commercial businesses and the
Stone Avenue Metra Station, so adverse impacts from proposed signage is negligible. All
commercial properties are required to shade any exterior lights so that no direct light is
case upon any property located in a residential district (Section 5-105D).
C. No Interference with Surrounding Development: The proposed use and development will

be constructed, arranged, and operated so as not to dominate the immediate vicinity or to
interfere with the use and development of neighboring property in accordance with the
applicable district regulations.

Please see No Undue Adverse Impact for a summary of how the proposed development
relates to the scale of other buildings in the vicinity.

5-B. 24

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

Please see below No Traffic Congestion for analysis regarding potential traffic impacts and
considerations relative to the proposed development.
The Applicant is not proposing substantial changes to the Subject Property that would have
the potential to impact use and development of surrounding properties. The proposed 6’
fence is not expected to bring about any visibility issues, nor will the structure exceed the
maximum allowable fence height per the Zoning Code. The proposed monument sign
meets the required area, height, front lot line setbacks, and clear sight area as required by
Village codes.
D. Adequate Public Facilities: The proposed use and development will be served adequately

by essential public facilities and services such as streets, public utilities, drainage structures,
police and fire protection, refuse disposal, parks, libraries, and schools, or the applicants will
provide adequately for such services.
Please see below ‘No Traffic Congestion’ for analysis regarding potential traffic impacts and
considerations relative to the development.
The development is already served by necessary public facilities; no changes are proposed
that would require additional consideration. The development is already served by streets
and curb cuts. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to those existing facilities.

A portion of the Subject Property’s office building parking lot falls within the Stone Avenue
right of way (ROW), as shown below in Figure 4, constructed in accordance with approved
site plan following the approval of O-82-38. A landscape island and 3.5 parking stalls fall
within the ROW. Grayhill has expressed interest in exploring the acquisition of the portion
of Stone Ave shown in Figure 4 below. Provided pedestrian and utility easements are
provided to the Village, Village staff does not have concerns with vacating that portion of
the street so Grayhill main provide the area in the manner it deems necessary for its parking
lot. Staff is in discussion with the Applicant and Village Attorney regarding the proposed
vacation.

Figure 4: Portion of Grayhill's parking facilities (highlighted in red) that currently occupy portions of the Stone Ave.
ROW.

E. No Traffic Congestion: The proposed use and development will not cause undue traffic

congestion nor draw significant amounts of traffic through residential streets.

The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the Subject Property that would be expected
to change the traffic flow and congestion throughout and surrounding the site. Grayhill is
served by existing parking lots with curb cuts. The loss of two employee parking spaces is
not expected to impact traffic either, as the Applicant contends there is enough employee
parking in both surface lots and within the office building’s structured parking floors
(Attachment 1). The PD ordinance requires the basement level of the parking garage to
provide 98 spaces and the first floor 89 spaces. Per the property’s plat of survey
(Attachment 1), the basement level provides 95 spaces and 5 handicapped spaces, and the
first floor provides 82 spaces and 8 handicapped spaces. In total, the development offers
221 surface spaces and 190 structured spaces for employees and 83 spaces for visitors.
The Zoning Code requires 1 parking stall for each 350 sf of gross floor area for office uses,
meaning the office use is required to provide 118 spaces (which it exceeds). For
manufacturing/assembly use, the code requires 1 space for each 1.5 employees (of the
specific manufacturing/assembly use) plus 1 for each company vehicle. While the Applicant
will need to provide this information to confirm, based on the total amount of employee
parking of 411 spaces, the visitor parking lot, and observed conditions, it appears the
property has ample parking. The loss of two parking spaces for the A/C unit appears
negligible.

February 13, 2024

F. No Destruction of Significant Features: The proposed use and development will not result

in the destruction, loss, or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature of significant
importance.

The Applicant is not proposing any construction that would cause rise to the destruction,
loss, or damage of any natural, scenic, or historic features. The Applicant is only proposing
an A/C unit on existing parking stalls, three walls signs, a monument sign, and fence.
Further, the Applicant is proposing to improve the most-western gravel lot (directly west
of Antonino’s Ristorante) with grass.
G. Compliance with Standards: The proposed use and development complies with all

additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of this code authorizing such
use.

The Zoning Code does not have any additional standards for the requested special use.
Barring those requested deviations from the Zoning Code listed under Deviations from the
La Grange Zoning Code, the Applicant has expressed a willingness to comply with all
applicable Code requirements.
SPECIAL STANDARDS
When the district regulations in a particular district impose special standards, a special use
permit shall not be granted unless the Applicant complies with such special standards, La
Grange Zoning Code §14-401E3. Detailed discussion of these standards is included in the
“Standards for Large Planned Developments” Section.
STANDARDS FOR LARGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
A. Special Use Permit Standards for Large PD: No special use permit for a planned

development shall be recommended or granted pursuant to this Section unless the applicant
shall establish that the proposed development will meet each of the standards made
applicable to special uses pursuant to Subsection 14-401E of this Code.
Please see above section ‘Standards for Special Use’ for detailed discussion of these
standards.

B. Additional Standards for Large PD: No special use permit for a planned development shall

be recommended or granted unless the applicant shall establish that the proposed
development will meet each of the following additional standards:
1.

Unified Ownership Required: The entire property proposed for planned

development treatment must be, in single ownership or under such unified
control as to ensure that the entire property will be developed as a unified whole.
The entirety of the Grayhill properties are not under unified ownership. The legal
entity Grayhill Inc. owes the majority of the development, while Waiola Property
8

5-B. 27

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

Co. owns those parcels that contain the manufacturing/assembly building and
shipping/receiving building. The applicant contends the entities have a common
owner and that Grayhill, Inc team manages the operational, legal, and financial
aspects of both entities. The Village does not have concern over the two entities,
but to satisfy this standard the Applicant should submit a Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions to memorialize maintenance, easement,
ingress/egress, and more.
2.

Covenants and Restrictions to be Enforceable by Village: All covenants, deed

restrictions, easements, and similar restrictions to be recorded in connection with
the planned development shall provide that they may not be modified without
the express consent of the Board of Trustees and that they may be enforced by
the Village.

No easements are proposed as part of the current application. The Subject
Property’s plat of survey notes four recorded easements on the property,
located to the north of the office building, south of the visitor surface parking
lot, abutting the lots occupied by Antonino’s and Four Sons Mercantile, and at
the northeast corner of the intersection of Hillgrove Avenue and Stone Avenue.
These easements largely provide ingress and egress for the benefit of other
parties named in the easement agreements, presumed to be the adjacent
property owners. There is an additional easement within the Waiola Ave. cul-desac to allow the Village to maintain and operate all storm, sanitary services, water
mains, and public walkways.
3.

Protected Open Space: Except under extraordinary circumstances determined

as sufficient by the Board of Trustees, the planned development must include
protected open space commensurate with the scale and design of the
development. The protected open space must be held in common ownership or
by an entity specifically responsible for the care and maintenance of the space.
The protected open space also must be (i) held for use by all residents or other
occupants of the development or (ii) dedicated to, and accepted by, the Village
of La Grange, the Park District of La Grange, a school district, or another public
entity as permanent common open areas for parks, recreation and/or related
public uses.
Village records indicate that a half-acre parcel was donated by Grayhill in the
80s, which is now Stone Park, located just north of the Applicant’s visitor parking
lot at the northwest corner of the development. The park is open to the public
and owned and operated by the Park District of La Grange.

4.

Landscaping and Perimeter: To the fullest extent possible, any area of the

planned development not used for structures or circulation elements shall be
landscaped or otherwise improved.
The Grayhill planned development was approved with numerous landscaped
areas, including parking lot buffers, landscape elements along Hillgrove Ave
adjacent to the existing office building, and a landscaped spine in between the
9

5-B. 28

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

development’s two buildings. While most of the Subject Property landscaping is
well maintained, it appears increased landscaping along the Waiola Ave cul-desac and along the Stone Ave. visitor parking lot is needed.
For the areas with no proposed changes, no additional landscaping is needed.
Landscaping along or near the proposed fence would help soften the
appearance of the fence along Hillgrove Avenue; landscaping should also be
added around the proposed ground sign. Staff recommends a landscape plan
be submitted for approval during the building permit process application for the
proposed signage and fence improvements. Additionally, staff recommends the
site be brought into compliance with current code requirements for screening
of the existing utility and dumpster areas in front of the shipping and receiving
building along Hillgrove Avenue.
5.

Private Streets: The applicant must provide for all public improvements

necessary to serve the planned development, including without limitation streets,
sidewalks, lights, signs, underground utilities, and landscaping, to be constructed
or installed to Village standards at no cost to the Village.
The Grayhill planned development is already served by streets, lights, and
utilities. No improvements are proposed at this time that would be expected to
impact the Subject Property’s demand on public infrastructure.

6.

Pedestrian Circulation System: The planned development must include a

suitable pedestrian circulation system including appropriate walkways, paths,
trails, passageways, and other means of movement into, out of, and throughout
the development and including private or public sidewalks meeting the standards
of the La Grange Subdivision Code on both sides of every street in or abutting a
planned development.
The original pedestrian circulation system approved with the 1982 PD included
a pedestrian walkway between the Applicant’s two buildings with outdoor
seating and landscape elements. Sidewalks were provided along the rear
building façade and the parking facilities. Public sidewalks exist along Hillgrove
Avenue and Stone Avenue. No changes are proposed.

7.

Utilities: All utility lines shall be installed underground.
There are no proposed changes to the Subject Property’s utilities.

8.

Amenities: The planned development must include
compensating amenities, if the applicant seeks a modification of any provision of
this Code.

Compensating

The original Grayhill planned development was granted modifications from
building FAR, but due to the date of the original file, Staff is unable to confirm
what deviations were granted in the original development that varied from the
Zoning Code codified at the time.
10

5-B. 29

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

As a part of the 1982 PD approval, Grayhill was required to construct the
landscaped walkway between the development’s two buildings, and construct
both the Stone Ave and Waiola Ave cul-de-sacs, which included replacement and
construction of water lines and fire hydrant.
In conjunction with the planned development amendment, the Applicant is also
requesting deviations from the Zoning Code related to signage and a fence.
Staff finds the proposed deviations to be relatively minor in nature and finds the
condition for additional landscaping and screening to be a sufficient offsetting
amenity.

AUTHORITY TO MODIFY REGULATIONS – STANDARDS
PDs are a distinct category of special use that allows the Zoning Code to be relaxed if they
impose inappropriate limitations on the proposed development or redevelopment of a parcel
of land that lends itself to an individual, planned approach.
No modification may be approved unless the Board of Trustees shall find that the proposed
planned development:
1. Will achieve the purposes for which planned developments may be approved
pursuant to §14-502;
Through the flexibility of a PD, the Village seeks to achieve the following seven
objectives:

A. Encouragement of flexibility in the development or redevelopment of land.
B.

Creation of an appreciably more desirable environment than would be
possible through strict application of Village land use regulations, whether
through maximization of open space, or excellence in building and site
11

design, or provision of amenities not possible under the otherwise applicable
requirements.
C. Promotion of creative architectural and site designs and resulting
development.
D. Promotion of quality, useful open space and recreational opportunities.
E.

Promotion of environmentally sound development practices.

F.

Facilitation of development in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.

G. Promotion of public health, safety, and welfare.
The Applicant’s requested deviations relate to signage and a fence on the property.
This property is a unique campus-like development with multiple buildings and four
parking lots (excluding the office building’s structured parking) that stretch across
multiple blocks. Aside from window signage on the office building’s entrance doors,
there is currently no signage on the property. The Applicant contends in their submitted
materials that the proposed signs will not only help visitors to navigate the site, but it
will also help establish Grayhill’s identity and presence in the West End.
As mentioned previously, the Applicant’s proposed fence will not exceed the maximum
allowable fence height for the property, and is proposed to complement the style of
the fencing at the outbound Stone Avenue Station platform, just to the south of the
Subject Property.
2. Will not violate the general purposes, goals, and objectives of this Code and the
Official Comprehensive Plan; and
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject property as BNSF Core
Commercial, which “forms the business and civic core of the Village and functions as a
focal point for mixed-use activity. It includes retail and entertainment uses on the first
floor of buildings, and office, commercial services and residential uses above the first
floor. In order to maximize its pedestrian setting for retailing and entertainment, offstreet parking by use is not required for development within this area.” The Village’s
Comprehensive Plan states one of the goals for the BNSF Core Commercial area is to
“strengthen existing design standards addressing architectural design, signage, parking
lots, site improvements and landscaping.” None of the deviations requested by the
Applicant propose any changes to the land use or impacts to the existing character of
the site and surrounding area. The Applicant is proposing a fence along the front lot
line of that parcel shown In Attachment 1. While this typically would be discouraged for
a commercial property within the Village’s core area, this site is currently improved with
gravel and not used for any commercial activity. The building in the rear serves as
storage. In conjunction with the fence, the Applicant is proposing to convert the gravel
into green space, beautifying the site. The Applicant’s provided narrative states the
fence is due to safety/security issues, as well as a desire to improve aesthetics.
12

5-B. 31

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

Zoning Code Section 11-101 lists the purposes and intent of the code’s sign regulations,
which includes “creating a more attractive economic and business climate within the
office and commercial areas of the Village” and “enabling the public to locate goods,
services, and facilities in the Village without confusion.” Within the application package,
the Applicant states that the additional signage will help visitors traverse the site, as
well establish identity within the surround community. Staff is in agreement with this
assessment, as this property has no current signage, and it is difficult for visitors to
navigate the sprawling campus with multiple buildings and the buildings do not have
architecturally well defined front entrances.
3. Will result in a development providing compensating amenities to the Village.
Please see ‘Compensating Amenities’ above under ‘Additional Standards for large PD’
for analysis of this standard.
STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Per §14-402C2 of the La Grange Zoning Code, site plan approval is required in connection with
any development that requires a special use permit. La Grange Zoning Code §14-402F.1
establishes 14 standards for the review of site plan applications. These standards are intended
to ensure the proposed development complies with the applicable requirements of the Zoning
Code and will not have undue adverse impacts on adjacent property, the character of the area,
and public health and safety. If the proposal is found to meet the PD standards, then there
would not be undue adverse impacts on the adjacent properties, the character of the area, and
public health, safety, or welfare.
STANDARDS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE
The decision to amend the Zoning Code is a legislative decision and within the sound discretion
of the Plan Commission and the Village Board. As set forth in Section 14-605 of the Zoning
Code, the decision is not dictated by any strict application of set standards. However, Section
14-605 does provide standards that may be considered when making the legislative
determination. Those standards are as follows:
1. The consistency of the proposed amendments with the purposes of the Zoning Code.
Section 1-102 of the Zoning Code lists 21 purposes, several of which are applicable to the
requested text amendment, including the intent to: establish a rational pattern of land uses
and encourage the most appropriate use of individual parcels of land in the Village; protect
the scale and character of the existing residential, business, commercial, industrial, and
office development areas of the Village from the encroachment of incompatible uses; and
to protect and enhance the taxable value of land and buildings.
The first purpose of the Zoning Code is to “implement and foster the goals and policies of
the Village’s Official Comprehensive Plan.” The 2005 Comprehensive Plan designates this
particular property as High Density Residential. The existing use of the property is in conflict
with the Comprehensive Plan, the use predates the Plan’s adoption by as much as 65 years.
13

5-B. 32

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

The current Application does not change the current status quo.
Zoning Code Section 5-101 lists the purpose of the C-2 West End Commercial District,
which is to “to provide areas in the Burlington-Hillgrove commercial corridor for existing

commercial uses. This district is designed to encourage both the retention of existing
businesses and the redevelopment of new uses compatible with nearby residential uses.”

The current use of the property is for commercial parking, which is not in harmony with the
Zoning Code Section 4-101 that designates the R-8 District for residential uses. The
proposed rezoning would be the property’s current use into alignment with the Zoning
Code and support the continued existing operations on the Subject Property, which have
been previously granted approval as a special use permit or planned development.

2. The community need for the proposed amendments and for the uses and development
they would allow.
The proposed amendment does not impact the property’s existing use today as a
commercial parking lot. The proposed amendment actually brings this property into
compliance with current zoning regulations, as well as creating harmony with one-single
zoning classification for the development.
3. If a specific parcel of property is the subject of the proposed amendment, then the
following factors apply:

(a) The existing uses and zoning classifications for properties in the vicinity of the subject
property.
(b) The trend of development in the vicinity of the subject property, including changes, if
any, in such trend since the subject property was placed in its present zoning
classification.
(c) The extent, if any, to which the value of the subject property is diminished by the
existing zoning classification applicable to it.
(d) The extent, if any, to which any such diminution in value is offset by an increase in the
public health, safety, and welfare.
(e) The extent, if any, to which the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties would be
affected by the proposed amendment.
(f) The extent, if any, to which the value of adjacent properties would be affected by the
proposed amendment.
(g) The extent, if any, to which the future orderly development of adjacent properties
would be affected by the proposed amendment.
(h) The suitability of the subject property for uses permitted or permissible under its
present zoning classification.
(i) The availability, where relevant, of adequate ingress to and egress from the subject
property and the extent to which traffic conditions in the immediate vicinity of the
subject property would be affected by the proposed amendment.
14

5-B. 33

PC Case #275 Grayhill 561-601 W Hillgrove Ave.
February 13, 2024

(j) The availability, where relevant, of adequate utilities and essential public services to the
subject property to accommodate the uses permitted or permissible under its present
zoning classification.
(k) The length of time, if any, that the subject property has been vacant, considered in the
context of the pace of development in the vicinity of the subject property.
(l) The reasons, where relevant, why the subject property should be established as part of
any overlay district and the positive and negative effects such establishment could be
expected to have on persons residing in the area.

Existing and Historical Land Uses

This property has been utilized at a parking lot since 1967. It has been zoned R-8
Multiple-Family Residential since at least 1991.
The character of the surrounding area is well established and has been relatively stable
and has remained a mix of commercial and residential.

Site Considerations / Public Utilities

The proposed rezoning would not require any additional public utilities as the intended
use is existing today.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the application, if the Plan Commission determines that the standards for
Special Uses, PDs, and site plan have been met, staff suggests that the Plan Commission
recommend to the Village Board of Trustees approval of the Amended Site Plan as submitted
in Plan Commission Case #275 with the following conditions:
1. Screening of the ground-mounted mechanical equipment seen from Hillgrove Ave in
front of the shipping/receiving building.
2. Screening of the refuse area seen from Hillgrove Ave in front of shipping/receiving
building.
3. A landscape plan must be submitted and approved by staff to accompany the
installation of the proposed fence and ground sign.
4. Prior to building permit issuance, a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions between the Subject Property’s two legal entities must be submitted to the
Village

Chairman Paice asked for staff to make their presentation.
Staff Presentation
Kelsey Fawell, Village Planner, showed on the overhead what the Grayhill property looks
like as of today. It is one of the larger developments in La Grange and is an anchor in the
1
5-B. 35

West End Commercial District. Grayhill designs and manufactures intuitive interfaces
with finely tuned haptics, with standard products including optical and mechanical
switches, keyboards, and keypads. It stretches over about three-four streets and has
several buildings and parking lots. Their main building also has a parking garage.
Grayhill is requesting an amendment to a Planned Development, a special use permit, a
site plan, and a zoning map amendment. The actual physical improvement that Grayhill
is proposing on the property is a fence, three wall signs, a monument sign, and some A/C
units that already exist today.
Grayhill’s history in the Village dates back to 1944 and the development of the campus
occurred in stages over time. The history of the approvals is complex and there are
portions of approvals that cover only portions of the property. A special use permit was
granted to Grayhill in the 60s and 70s to allow the manufacturing/assembly use within the
building located off of Spring Ave. They are not proposing to change or expand that
special use. Following that, they received a special use permit to allow the visitor
parking lot off Stone Avenue just south of Stone Park. That is the subject of the rezoning
today. They are not proposing to change anything about the lot. The lot is zoned R-8,
but has been a commercial parking lot use since the 70s. They are looking to get it
rezoned to be consistent with the rest of the C-2 zoned development. In 1982, Grayhill
received approval of a Planned Development to construct their existing office building
with structured parking, two surface parking lots, and a landscaped pedestrian walkway.
Ms. Fawell said this case came about when the Village was notified that Grayhill had put
in A/C units on the property without a permit. Since the A/C units are on the parcel that
is regulated by Plan approval it required an amendment to the site plan before the Plan
Commission. As part of the amendment process, Grayhill explored other physical
improvements to the property.
Grayhill is proposing to construct an aluminum six-foot fence at the parcel commonly
addressed as 707 W Hillgrove Ave. which will complement the fencing across the street
seen at the Stone Ave. Metra Station. They are proposing this due to safety and security
concerns and to clean up the area. The A/C units are behind the manufacturing and office
buildings. They exist today and they are not proposing any changes. They comply with
screening requirements. Grayhill is requesting a departure to construct the fence at the
707 Hillgrove Property. The Zoning Code prohibits fences in between the front building
line and the front lot line. As see on the screen, this lot is a through lot, and the building
is situated in the northwest corner abutting nearby property lines. As such, the Applicant
is unable to construct a fence on the lot that is compliant with the Zoning Code.
Currently, Grayhill does not have any signage on their property besides a few window
signs on entrance doors to the main office building. The Applicant contends visitors and
new employees find it difficult to navigate the site so they are proposing to add two wall
signs at the main entrance of the office building. The Applicant is requesting two
departures to allow the two wall signs to exceed the maximum allowable height by Code.
The eastern facing wall sign requires a departure as it is facing Grayhill private property - wall signs are only permitted on building facades that abut a public right-of-way or
2
5-B. 36

public parking lot. They are proposing signage for the shipping and receiving building so
drivers know where to go. A monument sign located at the corner of Stone and Hillgrove
is proposed to direct visitors to the Stone Avenue visitor parking lot.
Ms. Fawell said the installation of A/C units decreased the parking by two parking
spaces. The original 1982 approval specified 187 parking garage parking spaces on the
property. Grayhill did a count of their parking and found some places where they had
some extra spots. Overall, Grayhill provides 190 structured parking spaces and 221
surface parking spaces. so the loss of two spaces is negligible. Village staff visited the
site on several occasions and they did not find any issues such as overflow parking at the
Grayhill surface lots. A portion of Grayhill’s parking lot that falls within the Stone
Avenue right-of-way. It appears that was done with Village approval following the 1982
Planned Development. Village staff is talking with Grayhill about potentially vacating a
portion of Stone Avenue where it abuts their visitor parking lot - terminating at the
southern entrance of the visitor parking lot.
Staff suggests the following conditions if the Plan Commission approves Grayhill’s
requests: screening refuse and utility areas located in front of the shipping/receiving
building seen from Hillgrove Ave, a landscape plan for the monument sign and for the
parcel that is the subject of proposed fence. Staff also suggests a document that explains
the rights of each of the two property owners (access, maintenance, easements, etc.). A
standard of Planned Developments requires that PDs are under unified or common
ownership. Grayhill has two legal entities that are technically the same owner in theory
represented by the Grayhill family but they are different legal entities. Staff does not
have concerns with this, but would like a legal document that addresses how each entity
can access each property so that if anything ever happens in the future they know this
property can still function as a unified development.
Ben Schuster, Village Attorney, stated for a Planned Development you have to have
unified ownership or control. The way you have unified control when you have two
different owners is through a Declaration of Covenants that governs the Planned
Development so if ownership of the two entities don’t get along at some point in the
future, they know there is a method that the property can be continued to be operated as a
Planned Development.
Commissioner Wentink asked if it would run with the land.
Mr. Schuester said it would be recorded and it would run with the land.
Chairman Paice asked if staff could talk about the easement on Waiola. He asked if they
were opening Waiola again.
Ms. Fawell stated no. Prior to the 1982 development, Waiola ran straight through to
Hillgrove. With the 1982 development, a portion of Waiola was dedicated and a portion
was vacated. As part of the development, Grayhill paid for and constructed the cul-desacs.
3
5-B. 37

Chairman Paice asked what do they need to discuss tonight in regard to it.
Ms. Fawell said there is nothing of consideration in regard to that portion of Waiola Ave
that contains the landscaped walkway.
Commissioner Hoffenberg asked for Stone Avenue are they asking them to vacate that
portion and would the vacated portion of the property be granted to Grayhill. He asked if
it would have to be included in the Planned Development.
Mr. Schuester stated they do not need to discuss the possible vacation that would impact
CCRs now. At some point, if they choose to vacate or the Village chooses to vacate then
the CCRs could be amended and could be handled at the staff level. From the
Commission’s evaluation standpoint, he does not feel it impacts their analysis of
tonight’s requests.
Commission Hoffenberg asked what the discussion was about with the entrance and exit
into the parking areas. The entrance and exit go all the way up to the portion that is being
vacated. He asked would that become a private roadway.
Ms. Fawell said the intention is to have it within those portions that abut the parking lot.
So it would go approximately from the northern driveway down to the southern
driveway. Grayhill would take control of maintenance.
Commissioner Hoffenberg asked if the idea would be the entrance and exit from Stone
but as far as the public roadway is concerned it would end where the tip of the red is on
staff’s diagram. Grayhill will exclusively control the entrance and exit and not the
Village.
Ms. Fawell said yes. It is very unlikely for someone to be going back there unless they
had to turn around which they would still be able to do.
Commissioner Hoffenberg stated he is having a hard time understanding why.
Ms. Fawell said it came to staff’s attention that they were occupying a portion of their
right-of-way. The point of vacating it has to do with the cost of maintenance, plowing,
and street cleaning. The Village has a list of priorities as to which streets they hit first for
snow plow and maintenance measures. Cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are low on the
list. Grayhill is offering to do that maintenance and upkeep. Village staff of the Public
Works Department are generally supportive of this.
Commissioner Hoffenberg asked if there was any consideration going all the way to
Hillgrove.
Ms. Fawell stated no it is just that portion.

4
5-B. 38

Commissioner Hoffenberg asked why they needed to put the fence on the property.
Ms. Fawell said at the top left corner where the fence is going there is a building back
there. The code prohibits fences from being in between the front building line and the
front property line. Since it is a through lot it has two front lot lines. So anywhere they
put a fence it is between the building line and the front lot line. The building is currently
being used for storage. They are looking to add the fence and add some green space to
the lot. Staff is asking for it to be landscaped.
Chairman Paice asked how the new grassy area would be accessed.
Ms. Fawell stated it is “L” shaped so it will be accessed off of Stone Avenue to the north.
Commissioner Wentink asked if the entirety of the Grayhill property includes the Planned
Development plus the special use properties. He asked if there is any intention should
they all become reasonably contiguous to wrap the special use properties into the PD.
Ms. Fawell said that is what they are looking to do through this process. What is shown
in red is to be part of the PD so that all of their property is controlled by one site plan
approval. In terms of some of those old approvals, specifically the manufacturing and
assembly use, that will run with that portion of the land only where it is allowed
currently. It will not be allowed site-wide.
Commissioner Hoffenberg asked if there was any thought to not changing the zoning and
rather granting a special use for that. He is just thinking long term and there is a concern
with residential being nearby.
Ms. Fawell stated that would require a text amendment. This property has been used
commercially since the 70’s and likely will remain commercial in the future. Within the
C-2 district, they do allow multi-family dwelling units above the first floor. They would
be able to do some development there. It’s important to note that since Stone Avenue is
not a through-street, it cuts off that development from the other residential properties.
Chairman Paice asked if there were any further questions for staff from the Commission.
None responded. He asked if anyone was planning on speaking this evening to please
stand and raise his/her right hand. He then administered the oath and asked for the
applicant to come forward to make a presentation.
Applicant Presentation
Scott Harrison, Chief Executive Officer and President, said he has lived in the Village for
the last two years and is the third CEO in the eight-year history with Grayhill. Most of
his neighbors do not know what Grayhill’s operations consist of. They make switches,
keypads, joysticks, encoders, etc. The button you push to turn on your windshield wipers
is a similar product that they make for high-end vehicles but it’s mostly for agriculture
and construction equipment. They make switches that go in Boeing and Airbus aircraft,
5
5-B. 39

as well as military aircraft. They make military radios and items that go on missiles and
bombs, so they do a lot of stuff for the U.S. military.
Ralph Hill founded the company in 1943 and moved it to La Grange and its current
location in 1944. He passed it off to his son in the 1970s who then passed it on to his
three daughters. The confusion with the ownership is that today, one of the daughters
and her children are the primary shareholders of Grayhill, Inc. which owns some of the
property. The three sisters own the 561 property under a different entity. In reality, it is
all owned by the Hill family. They control both properties and they do all the
maintenance. They will make sure they get the required documents to make sure it goes
forward.
Mr. Harrison stated they were looking for four things tonight. In March 2023, they
rebranded Grayhill after 80 years. Today they employ about 1,000 associates. There are
about 500 at the facility in La Grange. They also have a facility in McCook and as well
as Carpentersville, Illinois. They have branches in Iowa, Wisconsin, and China. They
are a global company making their headquarters in this Village. One of the things they
are asking for is signage. When he first joined the company he drove by the building five
times because all they had was a sign in the window that said Grayhill. They are right
along the Metra Railway so they want to add signage and help promote their business to
entice people to work in La Grange rather than the city. Due to the uniqueness of their
building, they do not fall in line with the current ordinance for signage.
The second thing they are looking to do is add a fence along west Hillgrove. They started
using the building at 707 W. Hillgrove for storage. They are concerned about security
and safety there. As a military contractor, they have certain requirements that are placed
upon them. The third thing they are asking for is forgiveness. They made some changes
to their compressors and parking lot. The fourth item is a request from the Village. That
is to rezone the parking lot from multi-family to C-2. It has been used as a parking lot
since the 70s. This would conclude his presentation and he is available for any questions.
Chairman Paice said he is interested in hearing more about the area that they are fencing
in. Antonino’s had used the area during the summer as a dining area. He asked if they
were shutting them off now.
Mr. Harrison stated yes. They plan to turn it into a green space and make it available to
their associates as a lunch spot. The landscaping plan is still being developed.
Commissioner Wentink asked if there is any lighting attached to the 707 development.
Mr. Harrison said no.
Chairman Paice asked if the signage was lit.
Mr. Harrison stated it is an aluminum box that is backlit inside the box and the signs on
the wall will be lit. The sign for shipping and receiving is not lit.

5-B. 40

Commissioner Egan asked if for the fence if they were planning on circling the entire lot.
Mr. Harrison said just along Hillgrove.
Chairman Paice asked if there were any further questions from the Commission for the
applicant. None responded. He then asked if there was anyone in the audience who
wanted to speak in regard to this public hearing.
Public Comment
Peter Mulcahey stated he was wondering about the compressors. He feels they are loud
and unsightly. He would like to know if they should have been on the roof or not. He
asked what the rules were for the fencing around it.
Ms. Fawell said ground and roof-mounted A/C units are allowed on this property. They
don’t require that one has to be on the roof or one has to be ground mounted. They do
need to be screened on all sides. Grayhill has added screening along the parking lot.
There are noise requirements. She can have the Village Code Enforcement Officer take a
look.
Mr. Mulcahey stated you can hear the compressors in the house with the doors and
windows closed. It is very annoying when you are trying to sit out in the backyard. He
asked regarding the zoning change what other development can be done under this plan.
Ms. Fawell said commercial lots have a lot more uses that are allowed. Mixed-use
residential developments are allowed within the C-2. The important thing to note about
this property is that the rezoning is to C-2 which doesn’t mean that they would be
allowed to develop this however they see fit. The property is regulated by the Planned
Development and any changes to that lot would have to come back through this review
process.
Mr. Mulcahey asked what does the right-of-way on Stone Avenue change or give to
Grayhill.
Ms. Fawell stated that Grayhill would control the maintenance and plowing. From
conversations with Grayhill, they have been doing a lot of that anyways. It will not
change how the site is used or how it functions.
Mr. Schuster said it would be up to Grayhill on how they want to maintain the property in
accordance with the Village code.
Mr. Mulcahey asked what if they wanted to put a gate across there.

7
5-B. 41

Mr. Schuster stated they would have to comply with the Village code and as part of the
Planned Development they would have to be seeking approval for modification to the
Planned Development.
Mr. Mulcahey said the main issue with Grayhill as being a neighbor for 30 years is the
noise from the air conditioners. Mr. Mulcahey said he is not sure if the screening has
improved the noise.
Charlie Lawler asked who enforces that the special use permits are being followed.
Mr. Schuster stated the Village can enforce violations for special use ordinance or any
other zoning ordinance. Property owners even have a right to seek enforcement if
someone is not compliant with zoning regulations.
Mr. Lawler asked if it is just code compliance for the walkway easements that are on
Waiola.
Mr. Schuster said the issue for the vacation is not before the Commission this evening. It
is a decision for the Village Board. If anyone is opposed to the vacation, if and when it
goes before the Village Board that is the proper body to make that determination as to
whether that is an appropriate decision for the Village to vacate.
Mr. Lawler asked with the existing vacation at Waiola is there an operating maintenance
agreement as to who is supposed to maintain the walkway passage there.
Ms. Fawell stated that Grayhill maintains it. When those original approvals were done it
specified who would be maintaining the properties. There are easements that allow
access through it.
Mr. Lawler asked who makes sure that the fence is maintained.
Ms. Fawell said the Village has property maintenance and code enforcement officers that
drive around and do code enforcement and property maintenance. The Village can get
notified if the fence is in disrepair. Any time Grayhill goes through a permit request for
the site the Planner is going to take a look at the special approvals that it is tied to making
sure that everything is staying the same.
Mr. Lawler asked if there were screening requirements for fences.
Ms. Fawell stated no there are no landscaping requirements for fences. Village staff is
recommending for the interior of the 707 Hillgrove fence to add landscaping.
Mr. Lawler said PVC vinyl fence is not a noise abatement product. He knows Grayhill
has an existing screening off of Stone Avenue. He asked if that could be part of the
special use to where it has to get installed. The wall next to the a/c units is about 30 to 40
feet tall and to the east is another 30 to 40-foot tall wall. So any noise is getting sent right
8
5-B. 42

to the residents. He asked if there was another type of screening to help dampen the
noise.
Chairman Paice stated the Village does have processes in place to handle the noise.
Ms. Fawell explained that the Plan Commission makes a recommendation to the Village
Board. With the recommendation, the Commission can add on conditions. So the
questions regarding fencing style or screening style, the public can make suggestions to
the Plan Commission and ask them to consider them.
Mr. Lawler asked if there are any codes for HVAC or A/C systems to help prevent noise.
Ms. Fawell said she can only speak to the zoning code requirements. There is a
requirement for noise. She can confer with the Building Official and the Code
Compliance Officer to see what the other codes say.
Mr. Lawler stated his opinion is that this installation is not up to date with industry
practice. The units are on cider blocks on an asphalt parking lot. The sound might be
dampened or less right now but once it begins to settle it will start making more noise.
John Kenna said he has lived on Waiola for 28 years and Grayhill has been great. He has
never had a problem with them or their employees. The air conditioning units are loud.
He asked if landscaping could be added to help block out some of the noise. The only
reason you are seeing all of them here this evening is because of the noise and the units
otherwise he does not feel you would see any of them here tonight.
Benjamin Hall stated he just purchased his property in January. His statement would be
about the fence that is at the northern part of their main parking lot that separates their
parking lot from Waiola. There are parts of the fence that have fallen into disrepair and if
it is on them to maintain it then they need to take a look at that.
Melanie Eckner asked if the fence on Hillgrove would go through the Design Review
Commission.
Ms. Fawell said the reason why they do not have a design review request tonight is
because fences and mechanical equipment go through building permit processes. The
zoning code is very specific as to what requires a design review permit and what doesn’t.
Sign permits and fence permits don’t apply to the design review because those have
different requirements. As part of this process, the fence’s design and location can be
reviewed.
Ms. Eckner stated their Waiola plaza is very nice with permeable pavers and native trees.
That would be a good model for any type of landscaping that the Village encourages with
Grayhill. She feels they could encourage a little more landscaping and improve the
interface between the park and the parking lot that is under consideration for a zoning
change so there could be more of a residential-friendly approach to the lot. On three
9
5-B. 43

sides it is not commercial and there is a lot of asphalt which draws a lot of heat. She
asked if the part on the west side of Stone is part of the Planned Development now or
would be a second step if it was rezoned.
Ms. Fawell said all of these applications are required because Grayhill is doing one thing.
The site plan, special use, and Planned Development all kind of mean the same thing
because they are approving one site plan. When Grayhill went for the 1982 Planned
Development that lot was already owned and regulated by a special use permit. Her
assumption is it was not carried over because it already had its approvals and they were
not changing it so they only included the parcels that were changing for the Planned
Development.
Ms. Eckner asked if everything west of Stone is not in the Planned Development.
Ms. Fawell stated everything west of Stone is not. It is just the office building, Waiola
walkway, and then the two service lots in the rear.
Ms. Eckner asked if any development west of Stone would go through a different process
than the Planned Development.
Ms. Fawell said this is happening as part of that process. What they are doing today is
cleaning it up and now this property will be regulated as one Planned Development.
Sam Pecoraro stated he owns Antonino’s Restaurant. He has concerns regarding Stone
Avenue and the empty lot. The Village does plow Stone Avenue.
Ms. Fawell stated the vacation of Stone Avenue is not the focus of this case today. The
drawing was supposed to be informative to let everyone know that the Village is in talks
with Grayhill. It does not require Plan Commission approval.
Mr. Pecoraro stated he is concerned about the ramifications of approving this with
changing the zoning. He is not sure if this will change the look of Hillgrove.
Chairman Paice said the only zoning change is to the parking lot behind his property.
Chairman Paice requested Ms. Fawell to clarify.
Ms. Fawell stated the property adjacent to Antonino’s is C-2 zoning and will stay C-2
zoning.
Mr. Pecoraro said he wants to make it clear that people do utilize and park on Stone
Avenue and the Village does plow the street.
Chairman Paice asked if Grayhill could look into the noise for the A/C units.
Mr. Harrison stated he could look into it. The noise complaint was not the compressors
that were in the lot but rather the equipment that was on the roof. They did fix that
10
5-B. 44

equipment on the roof. They can look at what the noise level is for the compressors and
take sound measurements. In the fall of last year, they did a lot of tree trimming. One of
the things that they plan on doing in the spring is to repair the fence. They are trying to
improve the aesthetics of the property.
Chairman Paice asked if there was anyone else in the audience who wanted to speak in
regard to the public hearing. None responded. He then called for a motion to close the
public hearing.
Commissioner O’Connor made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Wentink to close
the public hearing. A voice vote was taken:
Ayes: All
Nays: None
Motion passed
Plan Commission Discussion
Chairman Paice said they could go through each item. He asked if there were any
concerns for the parking lot rezoning.
Commissioner Egan stated her only concern was if they rezone this now to C-2 will it
open it up for future development that would extend to the lot lines. It is offset by the
fact that this would be a Planned Development and it would have to come back to the
Plan Commission before any of that build-out could occur so that would cancel out her
concern.
Chairman Paice said it has been parking for many years and it will continue as parking so
it is not a concern for him. He asked if there were concerns from any of the other
Commissioners. None responded. He stated he is a little concerned about how close the
fence is to the lot line.
Commissioner Wentink asked if there was any obvious setback that could be given from
the lot line. He asked if they could stipulate that it is set back from the lot line.
Ms. Fawell stated the Commission can make that recommendation to the Village. If it is
a recommendation you want to make sure the setback is deep enough to allow for
maintenance of the area.
Chairman Paice said he would agree with some minimal amount and landscaping to go in
front of it.
Commissioner Egan stated she agrees that she does not like having the fence along the
sidewalk. There was a comment earlier about Waiola and how they have a walkway that
is landscaped and looks nice. She understands they have the building and there are some
security concerns but there needs to be a balance.

11
5-B. 45

Chairman Paice said they talked about the A/C units and they worked on the sound.
They plan on reinvestigating the noise and doing sound observations. He asked if there is
anything further.
Commissioner O’Connor stated he was persuaded by Mr. Mulcahey’s comments. The
Village should be the arbiter for this issue. So when it comes to saying that this is within
the noise reasonableness it should be the Village to say that.
Commissioner Hoffenberg said he hears him but he does not want to create some
burdensome requirement for the company. There is an issue here for the surrounding
residents. There is testimony from the CEO stating the noise was caused by mechanicals
on the roof. He suspects that not might be the entire solution. The units of this size
without any covering you are probably going to hear it from the residents close by. He
does not feel with all the items that are being done that adding some type of enclosure
would be a big added expense. He would encourage the Village to take a look at it. He
feels a condition needs to be added to see something better than what was done.
Commissioner Egan stated she would not have an issue with having them provide some
type of sound abate requirement to the recommendations.
Chairman Paice asked how the Commission feels regarding the signage that is proposed.
Commissioner Hoffenberg said he feels it adds to the aesthetic and will finally identify
the building.
Commissioner Mosher stated she too likes the signage. She feels they would lower it but
the windows being there is an issue.
Commissioner Hoffenberg asked if they needed to talk about the landscaping.
Commissioner Wentink asked if they could put a condition stating that all fencing needs
to be reviewed for landscaping.
Chairman Paice said he would like to see the fence setback three feet.
Ms. Fawell stated the condition that staff proposed for the landscape plan can be tweaked
to add the areas that the Commission is considering. A condition about the fence setback
would be needed. The additional recommendation is for the noise and the A/C units.
Commissioner Egan said she would like to see a condition for sound abatement just in
general across the property so if it is coming from the roof or the installed units then it is
addressed.
Mr. Schuster stated that Grayhill does have to comply with the noise ordinance. So, if
there is something more that the Commission would like to see then it should be
incorporated into the plans. An example is if you feel that the fencing is adequate then a
12
5-B. 46

condition can be added that prior to Village Board, they need to work with staff to
modify the fencing for added sound resistance. A recommendation could be that the final
ordinance include limitations on decibels then staff can work with the applicant to come
up with an appropriate limitation.
Commissioner O’Connor said it should be that and more. The Village needs to be the
one to review this and work with the company to have it satisfactory. They should look
at all types of solutions to solve the problem.
Chairman Paice stated he would hate to pin them to screening or fencing. He would
rather say they need to test and abate the sound.
Commissioner Wentink said it becomes difficult when it is qualitative instead of
quantitative when setting a standard. They have to agree if they are not going to set a
numeric standard then they need to at least offer some guidance as to what the
achievement would be.
Mr. Schuster stated one condition would be that twice a year they agree to a testing plan
to make sure they are compliant with the code. There are many options.
Ms. Fawell said after this meeting she is going to reach out to the Property Maintenance
Inspector and the Building Official to see if they can get that tested in advance to the
Village Board Meeting.
Mr. Schuster stated the recommendation could be that the applicant works with Village
Staff to address noise. It would then be up to staff to come up with a recommendation
before it goes to the Village Board.
Commissioner O’Connor said not to address just the noise but to ensure compliance
would be the goal.
Mr. Schuster stated it could state the applicant should work with staff to test and ensure
that the noise meets the current code and there would be some form of testing to make
sure it is compliant.
Commissioner Hoffenberg said he feels it needs to be better than what is there right now.
He thinks it should state that the applicant needs to work with Village staff to adequately
test and address noise concerns in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to both the
applicant and the Village with an enclosure that is improved upon what currently exists.
He feels the area is a little unsightly and needs landscaping around it.
Chairman Paice asked if there were any further comments from the Commission. None
responded. He then called for a recommendation.

RE:

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A BILL OF SALE FOR THE ACCEPTANCE
OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO THE
MASON POINTE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT 441 9th AVENUE

On March 11, 2019, the Village Board approved ordinance O-19-08, granting a special
use for planned development, and other zoning approvals, to facilitate the construction
of the Mason Pointe subdivision on the former Illinois Masonic Children’s Home
property located at 441 9th Avenue. The landscaped areas, stormwater management
facility, sewers, street lighting, and streets within the development are owned and
maintained by a homeowners’ association (“HOA”).
Water mains, sewer mains, fire hydrants, and sidewalks around the perimeter of the
development were constructed with the intention of conveying the improvements to
the Village, as is typical for development projects. The developer (M/I Homes) has
completed construction of all infrastructure within the development and the consulting
Village Engineer has confirmed conformance with the approved plans. Per the terms of
the development agreement, the Village may now accept the public infrastructure.
The developer will remain responsible to correct any deficiencies in the installed public
and private infrastructure that may become apparent during an up to three-year
maintenance period as defined in the development agreement.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution approving a bill of sale for the
acceptance of public infrastructure improvements related to the Mason Pointe Planned
Development at 441 9th Avenue.

RE:

A RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION R-24-03 AND APPROVING
AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION OF LYONS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 204
FOR RECIPROCAL REPORTING, DIGITAL IMAGE ACCESS, AND A
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER

A resolution authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with LTHS regarding
reciprocal reporting, digital image access, and a School Resource Officer (SRO) was
approved on February 26, 2024. Subsequent to its approval, and prior to the School
Board’s consideration, representatives of the school contacted the Village with concern
over the agreement’s proposed cost share. (The Village proposed 75% of costs to be
paid by the School District in keeping with comparable agreements found throughout
the region). The concern had not been shared prior to the Village Board’s consideration
of the agreement.
In working collaboratively to address the School’s concerns, a 65% share of the costs
has been negotiated with the School District (65% of associated costs to be paid by the
School District, 35% by the Village). The LTHS District 204 School Board approved this
amended agreement at a meeting held April 15, 2024. No other substantive changes
have been made to the agreement approved by the Village Board on February 26, 2024.
As maintaining this agreement is beneficial to both the Village and the School District,
staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution repealing Resolution R-24-03
and approving an intergovernmental agreement with the Board of Education of Lyons
Township High School District No. 204 for reciprocal reporting, digital image access,
and a school resource officer.

The Superintendent and Police Chief may, as they deem necessary and
upon written notice, designate different persons to the respective positions
of School Official and Police Official.

School Officials and Police Officials will meet to facilitate and review
implementation of this Agreement as often as necessary.

5.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or restrict the duty and
authority of school personnel to request police services for disturbances or
other emergencies occurring in or around any school building, nor is it
intended to limit or restrict the duty or ability of any person attending or
employed by the School District to provide information or otherwise
cooperate in law enforcement investigations, including but not limited to
providing witness statements and testimony.

Collaboration between the School District and the Village and respect for
the important role each Party plays in connection with our community’s
youth are essential to the success of the mission of both Parties.

The Village recognizes the responsibility and authority of School District
Officials to manage the educational environment.

criminal, or traffic violation lies with the Village.

5.

The Parties seek to implement a partnership that creates effective and
positive school student discipline that (a) is part of the School District’s
larger effort to address school safety and climate; (b) includes proactive and
3 7
5-D.

restorative methods rather than only punitive; and (c) is clear, consistent,
and equitable.

the disclosure of student records. The School District may refuse disclosure
requests by Police Officials without a warrant, court order, or other

10/, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232g.

RECIPROCAL REPORTING
A.

The Village and the School District shall each comply with statutorily-required
reporting of offenses to the other Party. The Village and the School District also
shall share information as allowed by law, including without limitation, Sections 1020.14 (105 ILCS 5/10-20.14) and 22-20 (105 ILCS 5/22-20) of the School Code of

Law enforcement officials will disclose to School Officials juvenile law
enforcement records when police officials believe there is an
imminent threat of physical harm to students, school personnel, or
others. Inspection and copying of juvenile law enforcement records
by School Officials shall be limited to the records of a minor enrolled

ii.

Any juvenile law enforcement record information provided to School
Officials about a minor who is the subject of a current police
investigation that is directly related to school safety shall consist of
oral information only, and not written juvenile law enforcement
records.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsection II.B.1, the
Village may withhold law enforcement records and information if the Village
determines that release of records or information would: (i) create a threat
of harm to any person that outweighs the preventative benefit of sharing the
information, as determined by the Village, (ii) jeopardize a pending or
actually and reasonably contemplated investigation, (iii) interfere with a
pending or contemplated law enforcement, administrative, or judicial
proceeding; (iv) create a substantial likelihood that a person would be
deprived of a fair trial or impartial hearing; (v) disclose unique or specialized
investigative techniques; (vi) or cause an unnecessary invasion of a
person’s privacy.

Release of Non-Juvenile Law Enforcement Records. Upon request of School
Officials, and to the extent allowable by law, Police Officials will share with School
Officials law enforcement record information that relates to a student enrolled in
one of the School District’s schools who is 18 years of age or older.
Except when disclosure is otherwise required by law, Police Officials may withhold
non-juvenile law enforcement records and information if the Village determines that
release of records or information would: (i) create a threat of harm to any person
that outweighs the preventative benefit of sharing the information, as determined
by the Village, (ii) jeopardize a pending or actually and reasonably contemplated
investigation, (iii) interfere with a pending or contemplated law enforcement,
administrative, or judicial proceeding; (iv) create a substantial likelihood that a
person would be deprived of a fair trial or impartial hearing; (v) disclose unique or
specialized investigative techniques; (vi) or cause an unnecessary invasion of a
person’s privacy.

Police Officials shall report to the School District’s Principal or designee whenever
a student is detained for proceedings under the Juvenile Court Act or for any
criminal offense or any violation of a municipal or County ordinance. The report
shall include the basis for the detention, the circumstances surrounding the
detention, and the status of the proceedings. Police Officials shall periodically
update the report as significant stages of the proceedings occur and with the
disposition of the matter.

E.

Interpretation. Nothing in this Section II shall be interpreted to: (i) prohibit the
Police Officials from sharing additional information with the School District; or (ii)
allow the Police Officials to withhold from the School District any information or
records that would otherwise be available to the School District pursuant to the
Freedom of Information Act or any other statute.

F.

Confidentiality and Records

G.

1.

Confidentiality of Records and Criminal Activity Information. Any law
enforcement and student records subject to disclosure under this
Agreement shall not be disclosed or made available in any form to any
person or agency other than as set forth in this Agreement or as authorized
by law or court order. Police Officials and School Officials shall develop
procedures to ensure such nondisclosure of criminal activity information.
Such procedures shall be designed to also ensure that any criminal activity
information is not available to other employees, or any persons other than
as authorized by this Agreement or by law.

2.

Non-Educational or School Records.
i.

School Officials shall follow State and federal laws regarding student
records.

record. The information shall be used by School Officials solely to aid
in the proper rehabilitation of the student and to protect the safety of
students and employees in the schools.

No Restriction on Authority. This Agreement shall not act to restrict either Party’s
authority provided under law to release of information to the other Party made in
accordance with applicable law, as may be amended from time to time.

District as it relates to the relationship between the Parties related to reciprocal
reporting.

Agreement as a revised Exhibit C.

IV.

THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER PROGRAM
A.

Selection of the School Resource Officer. The Parties acknowledge that the
selection of the School Resource Officer to serve at the North Campus is a critical
aspect of the Program and that it is important for the Parties and the school
community to have a positive perception of and relationship with the School
Resource Officer. The School District, through the Superintendent or designee,
and the Village, through the Police Chief or the Police Chief’s designee
(“Supervisor”), will work collaboratively to select the School Resource Officer.
The Village will provide to the School District police officers who are in good
standing with the Village and with the following desired qualifications for review,
all as determined by the Village:
1.

Illinois Certified Police Officer;

2.

Attended a 40-hour Basic School Resource Officer training class (to be
obtained within 6 months of start of assignment); the School Resource
Officer must have a current certificate of completion of the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training and Standards Board SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER course or ILETSB approved waiver (within 1 year of assignment);

3.

Trained in handling an active school shooter and knowledge of school
safety planning;

4.

Demonstrated effective verbal, written, and interpersonal skills including
public speaking;

5.

Knowledge of, and experience in, matters involving cultural diversity and
educational equity; and

6.

Affinity for young people; calm, patient, approachable, self-directed, and
collaborative; and proven experience working effectively with youth;
5-D.7 11

7.

Demonstrated ability to work successfully with diverse populations,
including with persons with physical and mental disabilities, and
commitment to making students and community members of all
backgrounds feel welcomed and respected; and

8.

Demonstrated commitment to de-escalation, diversion, and restorative
justice, and an understanding of crime-prevention, problem-solving, and
community policing in a school setting.

The Village will include the School District in the School Resource Officer
candidate interview process and otherwise consult with the School District in the
School Resource Officer selection process. The Village shall assign the School
Resource Officer only after receiving input and a recommendation from the
Superintendent or the Superintendent’s designee. The Village will give due
consideration to, and make reasonable efforts to accommodate, the School
District’s recommendations for School Resource Officer selection. Provided that
this process set forth herein is followed, the School District acknowledges and
agrees that the Village shall have the sole and absolute discretion to make the final
selection and appointment of the School Resource Officer.
B.

Relationship. The School Resource Officer shall remain an employee of the
Village and will at all times abide by all personnel rules of the Village and any
applicable collective bargaining agreement. As an employee of the Village and
not the School District, the School Resource Officer shall not be entitled to any
benefits that the School District provides to its employees. The Village shall be
fully responsible to the School Resource Officer for the payment of all employee
compensation and benefit obligations. The Village shall maintain payroll,
attendance, and performance evaluation records.

C.

Supervision.
1.

As an employee of the Village, the School Resource Officer shall be subject
to the chain of command of the Police Department. When serving in the role
of School Resource Officer, they shall coordinate and communicate with the
Principal or Principal’s designee regarding daily activities.

2.

In the event the School Resource Officer fails to abide by the terms of this
Agreement, follow the policies and procedures of the School District, or
perform the duties outlined in Exhibit A, the Superintendent or designee
shall notify the Supervisor of the specific problems. The Superintendent or
his or her designee and the Supervisor will work cooperatively to resolve
the problems. If the School Resource Officer fails to remedy the problems
within fifteen (15) days of the date of notification or a date agreed upon by
the Parties, the Superintendent or designee may request a new School
Resource Officer and work cooperatively with the Supervisor to appoint a
new School Resource Officer in accordance with Section IV.A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing 15 day remediation period, if the School
5-D.8 12

District determines that the continued presence of the SRO is detrimental
to the welfare of its students, the Village will remove the SRO immediately.
D.

Scope of Duties.
1.

The School Resource Officer shall serve on the North Campus. Nothing in
this Agreement related to the School Resource Officer shall be interpreted
to apply to property owned by the School District other than the North
Campus.

2.

The scope of the School Resource Officers’ duties and responsibilities is
set out in Exhibit A, which may be changed or redefined at any time when
agreed upon in writing by both the Supervisor and the Superintendent or
designee.

3.

The Principal or the Principal’s designee shall be primarily responsible for
student code of conduct violations and routine disciplinary violations. In
instances of student misbehavior that do not require a law enforcement
response, the Principal or the Principal’s designee shall determine the
appropriate disciplinary response. The Principal or the Principal’s designee
should prioritize school- or community-based accountability programs and
services, such as peer mediation, restorative justice, and mental health
resources, whenever possible.

4.

The School Resource Officer shall not serve as a school disciplinarian, as
an enforcer of school regulations, or in place of school-based mental health
providers. The School Resource Officer shall not use police powers to
address school discipline issues, including non-violent disruptive behavior
that do not rise to the level of violating the law. The School Resource Officer
shall read and understand the student code of conduct for both the School
District and the North Campus. The School Resource Officer, in the School
Resource Officer’s discretion, may investigate and respond to criminal and
unlawful misconduct. The School District may determine whether to refer
non-violent misconduct to the SRO or Police Official for law enforcement
processing.

5.

The Parties acknowledge that many acts of student misbehavior that may
contain all the necessary elements of a criminal offense are best handled
through the school’s disciplinary process. The Principal or the Principal’s
designee and the School Resource Officer shall use their reasoned
professional judgment and discretion to determine whether they desire
School Resource Officer involvement for addressing student misbehavior.
In such instances, the guiding principle is whether misbehavior rises to the
level of criminal conduct that poses (1) real and substantial harm or threat
of harm to the physical or psychological well-being of other students, school
personnel, or members of the community or (2) real and substantial harm
or threat of harm to the property of the school.

5-D.9 13

E.

6.

For student misbehavior that requires immediate intervention to maintain
safety (whether or not the misbehavior involves criminal conduct), the
School Resource Officer may take reasonable measures to deescalate the
immediate situation and to protect the physical safety of members of the
school community. To this end, school personnel may request the presence
of the School Resource Officer when they have a reasonable fear for their
safety or the safety of students or other personnel.

7.

The School Resource Officer should conduct him/herself in a professional
manner to maintain respect and integrity within the school community. The
School Resource Officer should maintain a caring attitude towards students
and remain sensitive to the problems of students and staff in the school
environment. The School Resource Officer shall read and understand the
policies concerning student behavior and the student code of conduct for
the School District.

Schedule. The School Resource Officer shall be assigned to the North Campus
beginning on the days all teachers return to work in the fall and ending on the last
day of student attendance in the spring, as detailed on the School District
Calendar, and shall be assigned to be on duty every school day throughout each
regular school year, commencing prior to the start of the first class period and
ending after the last class period, unless: (i) the School District informs the Village
that the School Resource Officer is not needed during those times; (ii) as directed
by the Village in an emergency; (iii) the School Resource Officer has training,
provided that the times of absence are preapproved by the School District, which
approval may not be unreasonably withheld; or (iv) as otherwise agreed to by the
School District and Village. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the School District acknowledges that there may be days where the
School Resource Officer is not on duty due to the School Resource Officer being
in court, sick, injured, on family or medical leave, maternity or paternity leave, or
other reasons pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement or other
employment policies of the Village.
If the School Resource Officer is not able to report to duty at the North Campus on
a given day, the Village will make best efforts to have an officer check in with the
Principal’s Office, walk through the building, and drive through the parking lot. Both
parties agree that, in the event the School Resource Officer is out on family or
medical leave or otherwise will have an extended absence for any reason, the
Village will assess availability and, if requested by the District, will use reasonable
efforts to provide an interim School Resource Officer until the assigned School
Resource Officer can return or be permanently replaced, provided that the
provision of an interim School Resource Officer does not interfere with police
operations or put additional strain on the Village’s staffing levels. Further, both
parties agree that, in such circumstances, the parties will coordinate and discuss
additional options for ensuring School Resource Officer services are provided, to
the extent possible, until the assigned School Resource Officer can return from
leave. If possible, the interim officer will have School Resource Officer or juvenile
officer training and experience. The District will reduce the scope of the School
10 14
5-D.

Resource Officer duties for interim officers to focus primarily on safety and security
issues as appropriate given the experience of the officer and length of interim
service. The Parties may agree to increase the consistency or level of support to
be provided by the Village during absences of the School Resource Officer, such
as by designating or providing additional officers, and will amend this Agreement
pursuant to Section V.G to effectuate such agreement as appropriate. However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the School District may determine that providing an
interim officer would cause disruption or would otherwise not be necessary and
may decline the provision of an interim officer.
F.

Evaluation of the School Resource Officer and the Program.
Each year, the Superintendent or designee and Supervisor shall set goals for the
Program and agree on methods to monitor progress toward the established goals
(e.g., data, surveys). At least once each year, the Superintendent or designee and
Supervisor will meet to evaluate the Program with respect to the goals and may
revise Exhibit A to address the goals.

G.

Cost.
1.

Amount. The School District shall pay to the Village sixty-five percent (65%)
of the total salary and costs for all benefits paid by the Village to or for the
School Resource Officer and incurred by the Village as a result of employing
the School Resource Officer, including, without limitation, healthcare and
pension benefits, costs for any overtime duty that is the direct result of the
School Resource Officer services rendered to the School District or any
other costs for the School Resource Officer while the School Resource
Officer may be out on medical or other type of approved or required leave.
The School District acknowledges that the total wages and benefits paid to
the School Resource Officers will be determined by the Village and subject
to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and other increases in each calendar
year, in an amount to be determined by the Village. The Village will provide
advance notice to the School District of any known annual increases in
costs under this paragraph.

2.

Training Costs. The School District will pay the costs of training provided
to the SRO by the School District. All costs of training required by law or by
the Village shall be paid by the Village.

3.

Overtime Costs. In the event that the School District requests the School
Resource Officer to provide services before the start of the first class period,
after the last class period, or on weekends or other days that are not part of
the normal scheduled school hours and the total hours of SRO service
exceed forty (40) hours in a week, the School District shall reimburse the
Village for sixty-five percent (65%) of all overtime expenses incurred by the
Village to pay the School Resource Officer.

4.

Invoices. The Village shall issue to the School District monthly (12) invoices
for the salary and benefits earned by the School Resource Officer, and the
School District agrees to pay each invoice in accordance with the Local
Government Prompt Payment Act, 50 ILCS 505/1 et seq.

5.

Grants. Upon request of the Village, the School District shall work
cooperatively with the Village to pursue any grant funding that may be
available to mitigate the costs of providing a School Resource Officer to the
School District pursuant to this Agreement.

Training.
1.

In accordance with Section 10-20.68 of the Illinois School Code, the Village
shall provide the School District with a current certificate of completion of
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board School
Resource Officer course or ILETSB approved waiver within one year of the
School Resource officer’s assignment. The SRO also shall complete other
law enforcement training as required by law.

2.

The School Resource Officer shall attend specified training at or through
the District on topics the School District deems important, which topics may
include those professional development topics under Sections 10-22.6(c-5)
and 27-23.7 of the School Code as well as other relevant topics. Where
practicable, the School District shall also encourage school administrators
working with the School Resource Officer to undergo training with the
School Resource Officer to enhance their understanding of the School
Resource Officer’s role and the issues encountered by the School Resource
Officer. The Parties may also agree to other trainings for the SRO provided
outside the District’s training program.

Student Records.
1.

For purposes of the Illinois School Student Records Act, 105 ILCS 10/, and
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. 1232(g),
the School Resource Officer shall be considered a school official and agent

access to student records only as necessary for the fulfillment of his/her
duties as prescribed in this Agreement. The School Resource Officer shall
keep all student records confidential except if disclosure is required by law.
The School Resource Officer shall disclose student records only in
circumstances and in a manner authorized by State and federal law.

Detainment and Questioning of Students on School Grounds. Before detaining and
questioning a student on school grounds who is under 18 years of age and who is
suspected of committing a criminal act, a law enforcement officer or school
resource officer must comply with Section 22-88 of the School Code, including, as
applicable, the processes for notification to parent or guardian, and reasonable
efforts to ensure the presence of parent/guardian or specified school staff as well
as a law enforcement officer trained in interaction and communication with youth.
105 ILCS 5/22-88. School Officials will cooperate with the SRO or other law
enforcement officer’s actions to comply with these requirements.

K.

Use of Body Worn Cameras By Village Officers on School District Property.
1.

The Parties agree that any use of body worn cameras (“BWCs”) on School
District property must be subject to and in compliance with federal, state
and local regulations.

2.

The Village shall use its best efforts to notify the School District at least two
months before the School Resource Officer begins use of BWCs and
provide a copy of the Village policy on use of BWCs required by statute,
and the Village shall provide written information. The School Resource
Officer shall be trained in the operation of the equipment prior to its use.

3.

To maximize the effectiveness of the BWCs and the integrity of the video
documentation, the School Resource Officer shall adhere to the objectives
and procedures outlined in this Agreement and the Village’s written policy
regarding the use of BWCs adopted in accordance with Law Enforcement
Officer-Worn Body Camera Act (50 ILCS 701/10- 1 et seq.). The
responsibilities of the School Resource Officer in the schools consist largely
of the performance of non-enforcement related activities, including
community caretaking, educational, and other non-law enforcement
activities contemplated. As such, the School Resource Officer’s BWC will
normally remain in an inactivated (buffering) mode unless the School
Resource Officer is responding to calls for service or engaged in any law
enforcement-related encounter or activity.

4.

The Village may, in its discretion, and if not otherwise prohibited by law,
provide to the School District copies of any such filming of students, parents,
employees or others upon school property, upon request for such copies by
the School District, as a law enforcement record. In the event that the
Village receives advice that providing a copy of such videos is prohibited,
the Village agrees to utilize reasonable efforts to facilitate the availability of
its officer(s) that made the video to testify, upon request by the School
District, in any school disciplinary hearing concerning their knowledge of the
facts and circumstances of the videoed incident. Any such film or video
13 17
5-D.

taken by and kept in the possession of the School Resource Officer or the
Village may be considered law enforcement records under the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. §1232g and 34 C.F.R. §99.8)
and Illinois School Student Records Act (105 ILCS 10/2(d)). Any copy of
such film or video, if permitted by law to be provided to the School District,
may become an educational record of the School District.
Notice to School District of Recording. The Village will notify the School
District point of contact prior to releasing pursuant to FOIA a body-worn
camera video filmed on the North Campus containing images of a student(s)
or School District employee(s) unless such notification would violate the
law.
L.

including students, parents/guardians, and staff. The introduction shall
include information about the School Resource Officer’s background and
experience, the School Resource Officer’s role and responsibilities, what
situations are appropriate for School Resource Officer involvement, and
how the School Resource Officer and the school community can work
together, including how and when the School Resource Officer is available
for meetings and how and when the school community can submit
questions, comments, and constructive feedback about the School
Resource Officer’s work. The introduction for parents/guardians shall
include information on procedures for communicating with the School
Resource Officer in languages other than English. The School Resource
Officer shall also initiate communications with students and teachers to
learn their perceptions regarding the climate of their school.

2.

Meeting with School Staff. The School Resource Officer shall regularly be
invited to and attend staff meetings and assemblies. The School Resource
Officer’s supervisor shall also meet monthly with designated school staff to
monitor the program. School Resource Officer shall be invited to participate
in educational and instructional activities and training, such as instruction

Integration with Individual Students. The School Resource Officer may
benefit from knowledge of accommodations or approaches that are required
for students with mental health, behavioral, or emotional concerns who have
an individualized education program (“IEP”) under the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act or a plan under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act (“504 Plan”). School personnel shall notify parents/guardians of such
14 18
5-D.

students of the opportunity to offer the School Resource Officer access to
the portions of the IEP or 504 Plan that address these accommodations or
approaches. It is within the sole discretion of the parents/guardians to
decide whether to permit the School Resource Officer to review such
documents. If a parent/guardian provides such permission, the School
Resource Officer shall review the documents and the school shall make
available a staff member who can assist the School Resource Officer in
understanding such documents.
4.

V.

Emergency Management Planning. The School Resource Officer shall
participate in any School District and school-based emergency
management planning, including, but not limited to, the annual review of the
school’s emergency and crisis response plan and its procedures for law
enforcement to rapidly enter school buildings in the event of an emergency.
School Safety Drill Act, 105 ILCS 128/25, 50. The School Resource Officer
shall also participate in the work of any school threat assessment team to
the extent any information sharing is consistent with obligations imposed by
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and Illinois
School Student Records Act (“ISSRA”). 20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 105 ILCS 10/
et seq. (see Section IV.I.).

M.

The School District shall provide the School Resource Officer an office at the North
Campus.

N.

The School District and the Village agree to the security protocols set forth in

contract documents, which contractor is solely responsible for its errors, omissions, and failure to
carry out the work. Engineer shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor,
subcontractor, or supplier, or of any of their agents or employees or any other person, (except
Engineer’s own agents, employees, and consultants) at the site or otherwise furnishing or performing
any work; or for any decision made regarding the contract documents, or any application,
interpretation, or clarification, of the contract documents, other than those made by the Engineer.
C. Part-Time Field Observation provides that the Resident Project Representative will make intermittent
site visits to observe the progress and quality of Contractor’s executed Work. Part-Time Field
Observation does not guarantee the Engineer will observe or comment on work completed by the
contractor at times the Resident Project Representative is not present on site. Such visits and
observations by the Resident Project Representative, if any, are not intended to be exhaustive or to
extend to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in progress or to involve detailed inspections of
Contractor’s Work in progress beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in this
Agreement and the Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking, selective
sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work based on Engineer’s exercise of
professional judgment as assisted by the Resident Project Representative, if any.

5-F. 1

Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Minutes
Monday, April 8, 2024 – Page 2
The notice of the Public Hearing had been posted and published according to
State Statute. Copies of the proposed budget document have been available for
inspection at the Village Hall, the La Grange Public Library and posted on the
Village website starting March 11, 2024.
Suzy Mika, Finance Director, provided an overview of the proposed budget.
After no comments were provided by the public, President Kuchler announced the
Village budget public hearing was closed. He noted that final action on the Village
budget would be taken on Monday, April 22, 2024.
President Kuchler thanked the Management Team, and all others that contributed
to the upcoming Fiscal Year budget. He noted that the Village Board and Staff
looks forward to embarking upon all of the work that is contemplated and
supported by the document.
President Kuchler resumed the regular meeting noting the same individuals were
in attendance.
3.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
President Kuchler noted that over the past weeks, the Village was saddened to
learn of the passing of Officer Rogers and Auxiliary Officer LaPino. He noted that
those individuals were dedicated members of the La Grange Police Department
and served our community with integrity. Their unexpected loss has been heartwrenching for many and asked that their families and friends be kept in your
thoughts and prayers.
Tim Griffin, Chief of Police shared thoughts on Officer Rogers and Auxiliary Officer
LaPino.
President Kuchler noted that on April 2, 2024 he joined Senator Durbin, Cook
County President Preckwinkle, representatives of St. Cletus, the Cook County
Bureau of Economic Development, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and
others for the donation of a cold storage truck to the St. Cletus food pantry which
will aid them in their mission.
President Kuchler noted that the consent agenda contained two items related to
planned improvements for the 47th Street and East Avenue intersection. This is an
intersection under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation,
which is the entity responsible for the work that will occur there. As part of the
project, they’ve invited the Village to participate in upgrades to the emergency
vehicle signalization equipment, intersection engineering, and retrofitting street
lights with LED luminaires.

5-F. 2

Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Minutes
Monday, April 8, 2024 – Page 3
President Kuchler noted another consent agenda item is an adjustment to the
Village’s backup prevention program. Based on feedback that’s been received, the
Village is adjusting the program to recommend rather than require multiple quotes
for the work that is to be performed. It is hoped that this change will serve to
reduce one of the barriers to participating in the program and encourage
homeowners to take advantage of the program. Those that have not yet reviewed
the program, and could benefit from installing a backflow valve or overhead sewer,
are encourage to check out the program on the Village’s website.
President Kuchler remarked that hopefully many had the opportunity to
experience the eclipse on April 8th. While not in the path of totality, many were
able to experience this unique event here in La Grange. If it was missed, the next
opportunity to experience it in the US will be in 2044.
4.

MANAGER’S REPORT
Village Manager Knight announced that on April 10, 2023 the Village Board
approved a task order with Christopher Burke Engineering to conduct a study of
stormwater in the Village’s North Basin, which is the area north of 47th Street. Since
that time, Christopher Burke engineers and staff have worked on modeling
stormwater in that area and developing recommendations to mitigate the impacts
of stormwater in that basin. He invited Director Colby to provide an overview of
the work.
Rick Colby, Public Works Director, provided an overview and noted that
representatives from Christopher Burke will present preliminary findings from this
work and the modeling for existing conditions in drainage areas north of 47th
Street, inclusive of the Maple Avenue Study Area, Ogden Ave Study Area, and
Drainage District D. Ultimately, the North Basin stormwater model will serve as a
tool in evaluating the cost benefit of long-term and small localized capital
improvements with the goal of ensuring that the Village best leverages its
investments in stormwater mitigation efforts. (Complimenting efforts involving
stormwater modeling for the area south of 47th Street (South Basin).
Mike Burke and Christopher Burke provided an overview and noted that over the
past year, projects with notable viability have been pursued concurrently with the
conduct of the study. Funding availability and the availability of project partners
affect the timing and scope of projects, as many projects will rely on partnering
agencies, grants, and other funding sources to execute. Additionally, applicable
permitting through partner agencies can have a significant influence on projects
and in certain cases may invalidate preliminary recommendations. Project-specific
Phase I engineering studies are necessary to further refine projects in preparation
of their construction. The conduct of these studies would require balancing against
the concurrent stormwater and capital improvement initiatives in development.
Mr. Burke addressed questions and concerns from the Village Board.
5-F. 3

Board of Trustees Regular Meeting Minutes
Monday, April 8, 2024 – Page 4
President Kuchler thanked Mr. Burke for the informative presentation and stated

with $2,000,000 for flood relief (not related to the projects presented).

DATE:

April 22, 2024

RE:

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF
LA GRANGE, ILLINOIS AND ABBEY CO., INC. FOR PARKING LOT 3
RECONSTRUCTION

The Capital and Parking Funds include funding for the resurfacing of Parking Lot 3 with
permeable pavers. Lot 3 consists of 38 parking spaces and is used for short term parking
for visitors to downtown La Grange. It is located north of the intersection of Harris and
Madison Avenues. The project will capture a minimum of 37,800 gallons of stormwater
in a rain event. Under the terms of an Intergovernmental Agreement with the
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) approved November 13, 2023 for the
project, the MWRD will reimburse the Village for a maximum of 44.2% of the total
construction cost, for an amount not to exceed $197,000. The project is also funded
through a DCEO Grant of $125,000.
Baxter & Woodman Inc. prepared a design for this project and the bid package was
advertised on March 5, 2024 in accordance with the Village’s procurement procedures.
Sealed bids were accepted until April 4, 2024. Four bidders submitted proposals, with
Abbey Co., Inc submitting the lowest responsible and responsive bid in the amount of
$371,372.70. The bid compares favorably (approximately $56,000 less) to the pre-bid
opinion of probable cost, which was $427,225.75.
Baxter & Woodman and staff have analyzed the bid and recommend awarding the
contract (see Attachment 2). If approved, construction will be planned to occur this
summer and will include alternative parking on the Cossitt Avenue School property while
Lot 3 is unavailable. A robust communication effort will occur and will include direct
communications with nearby businesses and residents, advanced signage regarding the
construction/alternative parking availability, and a broadly shared notification through
Village communication outlets. Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution
approving a contract approving a contract between the Village of La Grange and Abbey
Co., Inc. for Parking Lot 3 reconstruction.

all persons. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor must, at its own cost and expense, provide
all permanent and temporary shoring, anchoring and bracing required by the nature of the Work
in order to make all parts absolutely stable and rigid, even when such shoring, anchoring and
bracing is not explicitly specified, and support and protect all buildings, bridges, roadways,
conduits, wires, water pipes, gas pipes, sewers, pavements, curbs, sidewalks, fixtures and
landscaping of all kinds and all other public or private property that may be encountered or
endangered in providing, performing and completing the Work. Contractor will have no claim
against Owner because of any damage or loss to the Work or to Contractor’s equipment, materials,
or supplies from any cause whatsoever, including damage or loss due to simultaneous work by
others. Contractor must, promptly and without charge to Owner, repair or replace, to the
satisfaction of Owner, any damage done to, and any loss suffered by, the Work and any damage
done to, and any loss suffered by, the Work Site or other property as a result of the Work.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Contractor’s obligations under this Section
exist without regard to, and may not be construed to be waived by, the availability or unavailability
of any insurance, either of Owner or Contractor, to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse
Contractor for the cost of any repair or replacement work required by this Section.

CONTRACT
1.12

Subcontractors and Suppliers

A.
Approval and Use of Subcontractors and Suppliers. Contractor must perform the
Work with its own personnel and under the management, supervision, and control of its own
organization unless otherwise approved by Owner in writing. All subcontractors, suppliers, and
subcontracts used by Contractor must be acceptable to, and approved in advance by, Owner.
Owner’s approval of any subcontractor, supplier, and subcontract does not relieve Contractor of
full responsibility and liability for the provision, performance, and completion of the Work in full
compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this Contract. All Work performed under any
subcontract is subject to all of the provisions of this Contract in the same manner as if performed
by employees of Contractor. Every reference in this Contract to “Contractor” is deemed also to
refer to all subcontractors and suppliers of Contractor. Every subcontract must include a provision
binding the subcontractor or supplier to all provisions of this Contract.
B.
Removal of Subcontractors and Suppliers. If any subcontractor or supplier fails to
perform the part of the Work undertaken by it in a manner satisfactory to Owner, Contractor must
immediately upon notice from Owner terminate such subcontractor or supplier. Contractor will
have no claim for damages, for compensation in excess of the Contract Price, or for a delay or
extension of the Contract Time as a result of any such termination.
1.13

Simultaneous Work by Others

Owner has the right to perform or have performed such other work as Owner may desire
in, about, or near the Work Site during the performance of the Work by Contractor. Contractor
must make every reasonable effort to perform the Work in such manner as to enable both the Work
and such other work to be completed without hindrance or interference from each other.
Contractor must afford Owner and other contractors reasonable opportunity for the execution of
such other work and must properly coordinate the Work with such other work.
1.14

Occupancy Prior to Final Payment

Owner will have the right, at its election, to occupy, use, or place in service any part of the
Work prior to Final Payment. Such occupancy, use, or placement in service must be conducted in
such manner as not to damage any of the Work or to unreasonably interfere with the progress of
the Work. No such occupancy, use, or placement in service may be construed as an acceptance of
any of the Work or a release or satisfaction of Contractor’s duty to insure and protect the Work,
nor may it, unless conducted in an unreasonable manner, be considered as an interference with
Contractor’s provision, performance, or completion of the Work.
1.15

Owner’s Right to Terminate or Suspend Work for Convenience

A.
Termination or Suspension for Convenience. Owner has the right, for its
convenience, to terminate or suspend the Work in whole or in part at any time by written notice to
Contractor. Every such notice must state the extent and effective date of such termination or
suspension. On such effective date, Contractor must, as and to the extent directed, stop Work
under this Contract, cease all placement of further orders or subcontracts, terminate or suspend
-86-A. 12

CONTRACT
Work under existing orders and subcontracts, cancel any outstanding orders or subcontracts that
may be cancelled, and take any action necessary to protect any property in its possession in which
Owner has or may acquire any interest and to dispose of such property in such manner as may be
directed by Owner.
B.
Payment for Completed Work. In the event of any termination pursuant to
Subsection 1.15A above, Owner must pay Contractor (1) such direct costs, excluding overhead, as
Contractor has paid or incurred for all Work done in compliance with, and as required by or
pursuant to, this Contract up to the effective date of termination together with ten percent of such
costs for overhead and profit; and (2) such other costs pertaining to the Work, exclusive of
overhead and profit, as Contractor may have reasonably and necessarily incurred as the result of
such termination. Any such payment may be offset by any prior payment or payments and is
subject to Owner’s rights to withhold and deduct as provided in this Contract.

ARTICLE II: CHANGES AND DELAYS
2.1

Changes

Owner has the right, by written order executed by Owner, to make changes in the Contract,
the Work, the Work Site, and the Contract Time (“Change Order”). If any Change Order causes
an increase or decrease in the amount of the Work, an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price
or Contract Time may be made. All claims by Contractor for an equitable adjustment in either the
Contract Price or the Contract Time must be made within two business days following receipt of
such Change Order, and may, if not made prior to such time, be conclusively deemed to have been
waived. No decrease in the amount of the Work caused by any Change Order will entitle
Contractor to make any claim for damages, anticipated profits, or other compensation.
2.2

Delays

A.
Extensions for Unavoidable Delays. For any delay that may result from causes that
could not be avoided or controlled by Contractor, Contractor must, upon timely written
application, be entitled to issuance of a Change Order providing for an extension of the Contract
Time for a period of time equal to the delay resulting from such unavoidable cause. No extension
of the Contract Time will be allowed for any other delay in completion of the Work.
B.
No Compensation for Delays. No payment, compensation, damages, or adjustment
of any kind, other than the extension of the Contract Time provided in Subsection 2.2A above,
may be made to, or claimed by, Contractor because of hindrances or delays from any cause in the
commencement, prosecution, or completion of the Work, whether caused by Owner or any other
party and whether avoidable or unavoidable.

CONTRACT

ARTICLE III: CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
FOR DEFECTIVE WORK
3.1

Inspection; Testing; Correction of Defects

A.
Inspection. Until Final Payment, all parts of the Work are subject to inspection and
testing by Owner or its designated representatives. Contractor must furnish, at its own expense,
all reasonable access, assistance, and facilities required by Owner for such inspection and testing.
B.
Re-Inspection. Re-inspection and re-testing of any Work may be ordered by Owner
at any time, and, if so ordered, any covered or closed Work must be uncovered or opened by
Contractor. If the Work is found to be in full compliance with this Contract, then Owner must pay
the cost of uncovering, opening, re-inspecting, or re-testing, as the case may be. If such Work is
not in full compliance with this Contract, then Contractor must pay such cost.
C.
Correction. Until Final Payment, Contractor must, promptly and without charge,
repair, correct, or replace all or any part of the Work that is defective, damaged, flawed, or
unsuitable or that in any way fails to conform strictly to the requirements of this Contract.
3.2

Warranty of Work

A.
Scope of Warranty. Contractor warrants that the Work and all of its components
will be free from defects and flaws in design, workmanship, and materials; must strictly conform
to the requirements of this Contract; and will be fit, sufficient and suitable for the purposes
expressed in, or reasonably inferred from, this Contract. The warranty herein expressed is in
addition to any other warranties expressed in this Contract, or expressed or implied by law, which
are hereby reserved unto Owner.
B.
Repairs; Extension of Warranty. Contractor must, promptly and without charge,
correct any failure to fulfill the above warranty that may be discovered or develop at any time
within one year after Final Payment or such longer period as may be prescribed in Attachment B
or Attachment D to this Contract or by law. The above warranty may be extended automatically
to cover all repaired and replacement parts and labor provided or performed under such warranty
and Contractor’s obligation to correct Work may be extended for a period of one year from the
date of such repair or replacement. The time period established in this Subsection 3.2B relates
only to the specific obligation of Contractor to correct Work and may not be construed to establish
a period of limitation with respect to other obligations that Contractor has under this Contract.
C.
Subcontractor and Supplier Warranties. Whenever Attachment B or Attachment D
requires a subcontractor or supplier to provide a guaranty or warranty, Contractor is solely
responsible for obtaining said guaranty or warranty in form satisfactory to Owner and assigning
said warranty or guaranty to Owner. Acceptance of any assigned warranties or guaranties by
Owner is a precondition to Final Payment and does not relieve Contractor of any of its guaranty
or warranty obligations under this Contract.

-106-A. 14

CONTRACT
3.3

Owner’s Right to Correct

If, within two business days after Owner gives Contractor notice of any defect, damage,
flaw, unsuitability, nonconformity, or failure to meet warranty subject to correction by Contractor
pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of this Contract, Contractor neglects to make, or undertake
with due diligence to make, the necessary corrections, then Owner is entitled to make, either with
its own forces or with contract forces, the corrections and to recover from Contractor all resulting
costs, expenses, losses, or damages, including attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses.

ARTICLE IV: FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
4.1

Bonds

Contemporaneous with Contractor’s execution of this Contract, Contractor must provide a
Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Payment Bond, on forms provided by, or otherwise
acceptable to, Owner, from a surety company licensed to do business in the State of Illinois with
a general rating of A and a financial size category of Class X or better in Best’s Insurance Guide,
each in the penal sum of the Contract Price (“Bonds”). Contractor must, at all times while
providing, performing, or completing the Work, including, without limitation, at all times while
correcting any failure to meet warranty pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Contract, maintain and keep
in force, at Contractor’s expense, the Bonds required hereunder.
Forms of Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond are included in
Attachment D of the Contract.
4.2

Insurance

Contemporaneous with Contractor’s execution of this Contract, Contractor must provide
certificates and policies of insurance evidencing the minimum insurance coverage and limits set
forth in Attachment A. For good cause shown, Owner may extend the time for submission of the
required policies of insurance upon such terms, and with such assurances of complete and prompt
performance, as Owner may impose in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such policies must be in
a form, and from companies, acceptable to Owner. Such insurance must provide that no change,
modification in, or cancellation of any insurance becomes effective until the expiration of 30 days
after written notice thereof has have been given by the insurance company to Owner. Contractor
must, at all times while providing, performing, or completing the Work, including, without
limitation, at all times while correcting any failure to meet warranty pursuant to Section 3.2 of this
Contract, maintain and keep in force, at Contractor’s expense, the minimum insurance coverage
and limits set forth in Attachment A.

CONTRACT
expenses, that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or in connection with Contractor’s
performance of, or failure to perform, the Work or any part thereof, whether or not due or claimed
to be due in whole or in part to the active, passive, or concurrent negligence or fault of Contractor,
except to the extent caused by the negligence of Owner.

ARTICLE V: PAYMENT
5.1

Contract Price

Owner must pay to Contractor, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Article V and Attachment A, and Contractor must accept in full satisfaction for
providing, performing, and completing the Work, the amount or amounts set forth in Attachment A
(the “Contract Price”), subject to any additions, deductions, or withholdings provided for in this
Contract.
5.2

Taxes and Benefits

Owner is exempt from and will not be responsible to pay, or reimburse Contractor for, any
state or local sales, use, or excise taxes. The Contract Price includes all other applicable federal,
state, and local taxes of every kind and nature applicable to the Work as well as all taxes,
contributions, and premiums for unemployment insurance, old age or retirement benefits,
pensions, annuities, or other similar benefits. All claim or right to claim additional compensation
by reason of the payment of any such tax, contribution, or premium is hereby waived and released
by Contractor.
5.3

Progress Payments

A.
Payment in Installments. The Contract Price must be paid in monthly installments
in the manner set forth in Attachment A (“Progress Payments”).
B.
Pay Requests. Contractor must, as a condition precedent to its right to receive each
Progress Payment, submit to Owner a pay request in the form provided by Owner (“Pay Request”).
The first Pay Request must be submitted not sooner than 30 days following commencement of the
Work. Owner may, by written notice to Contractor, designate a specific day of each month on or
before which Pay Requests must be submitted. Each Pay Request must include (a) Contractor’s
certification of the value of, and partial or final waivers of lien covering, all Work for which
payment is then requested and (b) Contractor’s certification that all prior Progress Payments have
been properly applied to the payment or reimbursement of the costs with respect to which they
were paid.
C.
Work Entire. This Contract and the Work are entire and the Work as a whole is of
the essence of this Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, each and every
part of this Contract and of the Work are interdependent and common to one another and to
Owner’s obligation to pay all or any part of the Contract Price or any other consideration for the
Work. Any and all Progress Payments made pursuant to this Article are provided merely for the
convenience of Contractor and for no other purpose.
-126-A. 16

CONTRACT
5.4

Final Acceptance and Final Payment

A.
Notice of Completion. When the Work has been completed and is ready in all
respects for acceptance by Owner, Contractor must notify Owner and request a final inspection
(“Notice of Completion”). Contractor’s Notice of Completion must be given sufficiently in
advance of the Completion Date to allow for scheduling of the final inspection and for completion
or correction before the Completion Date of any items identified by such inspection as being
defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, incomplete, or otherwise not in full
compliance with, or as required by or pursuant to, this Contract (“Punch List Work”).
B.
Punch List and Final Acceptance. The Work may be finally accepted when, and
only when, the whole and all parts thereof have been completed to the satisfaction of Owner in full
compliance with, and as required by or pursuant to, this Contract. Upon receipt of Contractor’s
Notice of Completion, Owner must make a review of the Work and notify Contractor in writing
of all Punch List Work, if any, to be completed or corrected. Following Contractor’s completion
or correction of all Punch List Work, Owner must make another review of the Work and prepare
and deliver to Contractor either a written notice of additional Punch List Work to be completed or
corrected or a written notice of final acceptance of the Work (“Final Acceptance”).
C.
Final Payment. As soon as practicable after Final Acceptance, Contractor must
submit to Owner a properly completed final Pay Request in the form provided by Owner (“Final
Pay Request”). Owner must pay to Contractor the balance of the Contract Price, after deducting
therefrom all charges against Contractor as provided for in this Contract (“Final Payment”). Final
Payment must be made not later than 60 days after Owner approves the Final Pay Request. The
acceptance by Contractor of Final Payment will operate as a full and complete release of Owner
of and from any and all lawsuits, claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses of,
by, or to Contractor for anything done, furnished for, arising out of, relating to, or in connection
with the Work or for or on account of any act or neglect of Owner arising out of, relating to, or in
connection with the Work.
5.5

Liens

A.
Title. Nothing in this Contract may be construed as vesting in Contractor any right
of property in any equipment, materials, supplies, and other items provided under this Contract
after they have been installed in, incorporated into, attached to, or affixed to, the Work or the Work
Site. All such equipment, materials, supplies, and other items will, upon being so installed,
incorporated, attached or affixed, become the property of Owner, but such title will not release
Contractor from its duty to insure and protect the Work in accordance with the requirements of
this Contract.
B.
Waivers of Lien. Contractor must, from time to time at Owner’s request and in any
event prior to Final Payment, furnish to Owner such receipts, releases, affidavits, certificates, and
other evidence as may be necessary to establish, to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner, that no
lien against the Work or the public funds held by Owner exists in favor of any person whatsoever
for or by reason of any equipment, material, supplies, or other item furnished, labor performed, or

-136-A. 17

CONTRACT
other thing done in connection with the Work or this Contract (“Lien”) and that no right to file any
Lien exists in favor of any person whatsoever.
C.
Removal of Liens. If at any time any notice of any Lien is filed, then Contractor
must, promptly and without charge, discharge, remove, or otherwise dispose of such Lien. Until
such discharge, removal, or disposition, Owner will have the right to retain from any money
payable hereunder an amount that Owner, in its sole judgment, deems necessary to satisfy such
Lien and to pay the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses, of
any actions brought in connection therewith or by reason thereof.
D.
Protection of Owner Only. This Section does not operate to relieve Contractor’s
surety or sureties from any of their obligations under the Bonds, nor may it be deemed to vest any
right, interest, or entitlement in any subcontractor or supplier. Owner’s retention of funds pursuant
to this Section is deemed solely for the protection of its own interests pending removal of such
Liens by Contractor, and Owner will have no obligation to apply such funds to such removal but
may, nevertheless, do so where Owner’s interests would thereby be served.
5.6

Deductions

A.
Owner’s Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract
and without prejudice to any of Owner’s other rights or remedies, Owner will have the right at any
time or times, whether before or after approval of any Pay Request, to deduct and withhold from
any Progress or Final Payment that may be or become due under this Contract such amount as may
reasonably appear necessary to compensate Owner for any actual or prospective loss due to:
(1) Work that is defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, or incomplete;
(2) damage for which Contractor is liable under this Contract; (3) state or local sales, use, or excise
taxes from which Owner is exempt; (4) Liens or claims of Lien regardless of merit; (5) claims of
subcontractors, suppliers, or other persons regardless of merit; (6) delay in the progress or
completion of the Work; (7) inability of Contractor to complete the Work; (8) failure of Contractor
to properly complete or document any Pay Request; (9) any other failure of Contractor to perform
any of its obligations under this Contract; or (10) the cost to Owner, including attorneys’ fees and
administrative costs, of correcting any of the aforesaid matters or exercising any one or more of
Owner’s remedies set forth in Section 6.3 of this Contract.
B.
Use of Withheld Funds. Owner is entitled to retain any and all amounts withheld
pursuant to Subsection 5.6A above until Contractor has either performed the obligations in
question or furnished security for such performance satisfactory to Owner. Owner is entitled to
apply any money withheld or any other money due Contractor under this Contract to reimburse
itself for any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments, awards,
attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses incurred, suffered, or sustained by Owner and
chargeable to Contractor under this Contract.

-146-A. 18

ARTICLE VI: DISPUTES AND REMEDIES
6.1

Dispute Resolution Procedure

A.
Notice of Disputes and Objections. If Contractor disputes or objects to any
requirement, direction, instruction, interpretation, determination, or decision of Owner, Contractor
may notify Owner in writing of its dispute or objection and of the amount of any equitable
adjustment to the Contract Price or Contract Time to which Contractor claims it will be entitled as
a result thereof; provided, however, that Contractor must, nevertheless, proceed without delay to
perform the Work as required, directed, instructed, interpreted, determined, or decided by Owner,
without regard to such dispute or objection. Unless Contractor so notifies Owner within two
business days after receipt of such requirement, direction, instruction, interpretation,
determination, or decision, Contractor is conclusively deemed to have waived all such disputes or
objections and all claims based thereon.
B.
Negotiation of Disputes and Objections. To avoid and settle without litigation any
such dispute or objection, Owner and Contractor agree to engage in good faith negotiations.
Within three business days after Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice of dispute or
objection, a conference between Owner and Contractor will be held to resolve the dispute. Within
three business days after the end of the conference, Owner must render its final decision, in writing,
to Contractor. If Contractor objects to the final decision of Owner, then, within three business
days, Contractor must give Owner notice thereof and, in such notice, must state its final demand
for settlement of the dispute. Unless Contractor so notifies Owner, Contractor shall be conclusively
deemed (1) to have agreed to and accepted Owner's final decision and (2) to have waived all claims
based on such final decision.
6.2

Contractor’s Remedies

If Owner fails or refuses to satisfy a final demand made by Contractor pursuant to
Section 6.1 of this Contract, or to otherwise resolve the dispute that is the subject of such demand
to the satisfaction of Contractor, within 10 days after receipt of such demand, then Contractor will
be entitled to pursue such remedies, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Contract, as it may
have in law or equity.
6.3

Owner’s Remedies

If it should appear at any time prior to Final Payment that Contractor has failed or refused
to prosecute, or has delayed in the prosecution of, the Work with diligence at a rate that assures
completion of the Work in full compliance with the requirements of this Contract on or before the
Completion Date, or has attempted to assign this Contract or Contractor’s rights under this
Contract, either in whole or in part, or has falsely made any representation or warranty in this
Contract, or has otherwise failed, refused, or delayed to perform or satisfy any other requirement
of this Contract or has failed to pay its debts as they come due (“Event of Default”), and has failed
to cure any such Event of Default within five business days after Contractor’s receipt of written
notice of such Event of Default, then Owner will have the right, at its election and without

-16-A. 19

CONTRACT
prejudice to any other remedies provided by law or equity, to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies:
1.

Owner may require Contractor, within such reasonable time as may be fixed by
Owner, to complete or correct all or any part of the Work that is defective, damaged,
flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming, or incomplete; to remove from the Work Site
any such Work; to accelerate all or any part of the Work; and to take any or all other
action necessary to bring Contractor and the Work into strict compliance with this
Contract.

2.

Owner may perform or have performed all Work necessary for the accomplishment
of the results stated in Paragraph 1 above and withhold or recover from Contractor
all the cost and expense, including attorneys’ fees and administrative costs, incurred
by Owner in connection therewith.

3.

Owner may accept the defective, damaged, flawed, unsuitable, nonconforming,
incomplete, or dilatory Work or part thereof and make an equitable reduction in the
Contract Price.

4.

Owner may terminate this Contract without liability for further payment of amounts
due or to become due under this Contract.

5.

Owner may, without terminating this Contract, terminate Contractor’s rights under
this Contract and, for the purpose of completing or correcting the Work, evict
Contractor and take possession of all equipment, materials, supplies, tools,
appliances, plans, specifications, schedules, manuals, drawings, and other papers
relating to the Work, whether at the Work Site or elsewhere, and either complete or
correct the Work with its own forces or contracted forces, all at Contractor’s
expense.

6.

Upon any termination of this Contract or of Contractor’s rights under this Contract,
and at Owner’s option exercised in writing, any or all subcontracts and supplier
contracts of Contractor will be deemed to be assigned to Owner without any further
action being required, but Owner may not thereby assume any obligation for
payments due under such subcontracts and supplier contracts for any Work
provided or performed prior to such assignment.

7.

Owner may withhold from any Progress Payment or Final Payment, whether or not
previously approved, or may recover from Contractor, any and all costs, including
attorneys’ fees and administrative expenses, incurred by Owner as the result of any
Event of Default or as a result of actions taken by Owner in response to any Event
of Default.

8.

Owner may recover any damages suffered by Owner.

CONTRACT
6.4

Owner’s Special Remedy for Delay

If the Work is not completed by Contractor, in full compliance with, and as required by or
pursuant to, this Contract, including the Completion Dates established in Section 5 of Attachment
A, within the Contract Time as such time may be extended by Change Order, then Owner may
invoke its remedies under Section 6.3 of this Contract or may, in the exercise of its sole and
absolute discretion, permit Contractor to complete the Work but charge to Contractor, and deduct
from any Progress or Final Payments, whether or not previously approved, administrative expenses
and costs incurred by Owner for each day completion of the Work is delayed beyond the
Completion Dates, computed on the basis of the “Per Diem Administrative Charge” set forth in
Attachment A, as well as any additional damages caused by such delay.
6.5

Terminations and Suspensions Deemed for Convenience

Any termination or suspension of Contractor’s rights under this Contract for an alleged
default that is ultimately held unjustified will automatically be deemed to be a termination or
suspension for the convenience of Owner under Section 1.15 of this Contract.

ARTICLE VII: LEGAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REQUIREMENTS

corporation, then Contractor will be liable to Owner for all loss or damage that Owner may suffer
thereby, and this Contract will, at Owner’s option, be null and void.

written approval will not be required for assignments of accounts, as defined in the Illinois
Commercial Code, if to do so would violate Section 9-318 of the Illinois Commercial Code, 810
ILCS 5/9-318. Owner may assign this Contract, in whole or in part, or any or all of its rights or
obligations under this Contract, without the consent of Contractor.

VILLAGE OF LA GRANGE

BOARD REPORT
TO:

Village President, Village Clerk, Board of Trustees, and Village Attorney

FROM:

Jack Knight, Village Manager
Suzy Mika, Finance Director

DATE:

April 22, 2024

RE:

FY 2023-24 4th QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT

Attached is the Village’s unaudited 4th Quarter Financial Report for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2024. At the end of the fiscal year, the General Fund is projected to reflect a
positive ending balance of approximately $250,000 (p.1). This ending balance, and other
concluding balances may change as audited figures are finalized. In addition, billing
cycles occurring this month, in May and in the first billing cycle in June will also impact
the current fiscal year’s revenues and expenditures.
Page one displays the anticipated financial status as of the end of the fiscal year. Pages
four through five of the report provide an overview of the projected status of the
General Fund as of April 30, 2024. At the end of the fiscal year, the Water Fund reflects
a deficit of approximately $1,050,280 (p.1). The deficit is approximately $422,125 less
than what was projected in the FY 2023-24 Budget. This reflects costs associated with
the execution of the Brainard Avenue watermain project. The reduction in the projected
deficit is due to better than anticipated performance, with expenditures coming in lower
than expected and total revenues coming in as expected. Page one displays the
anticipated financial status as of the end of the fiscal year. Page six provides an overview
of the current status of the Water Fund as of April 30, 2024.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Sewer Fund reflects a positive ending balance of
approximately $50,000 (p.1). Sewer service fees and investment interest are anticipated
to come in under the allocated budget. Page one displays the anticipated financial
status as of the end of the fiscal year, with page seven providing an overview of the
current status of the Sewer Fund as of April 30, 2024.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Parking Fund reflects a positive ending balance of
approximately $100,000 (p.1). The parking garage maintenance expenses have
remained below the allocated budget. Page one displays the anticipated financial status
as of the end of the fiscal year, with page eight providing an overview of the current
status of the Parking Fund as of April 30, 2024.

6-B. 1

Page two reflects the anticipated financial status at the end of the fiscal year for Police
and Fire Pension Funds. Both funds are forecasted to conclude the fiscal year with a
greater fund balance compared to their initial balances at the start of the year. This
outcome is attributed to lower-than-expected expenses and higher-than-anticipated
earnings from investments.
Lastly, page three reflects the anticipated financial status at the end of the fiscal year
for the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, Foreign Fire Insurance Fund, Capital Projects Fund,
Equipment Replacement Fund and finally, the Debt Service Fund. Each of these funds
reflects a positive ending balance at year-end. In light of all major funds being
forecasted to end the fiscal year with a positive balance, a Budget Amendment is not
required.

BOARD REPORT

RE:

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FY 2024-25 OPERATING AND
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS BUDGET
______________________________________________________________________________
The Village’s annual Operating and Capital Improvements Budget for the fiscal year
beginning May 1, 2024 is a key document that sets forth spending priorities and
revenue sources over the next 5 years. Numerous budget discussions were held over
the past six months to develop this final budget document and 5-year financial plan.
The budget process began in November 2023 with a public hearing of the preliminary
property tax levy, adoption of the final 2023 property tax levy in December, and
continued with workshops to discuss capital projects in February and operating
budgets in March. A public hearing was held as part of the Village Board meeting on
April 8, 2024 to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the budget
document.
The final FY 2024-25 Budget reinforces the Village’s commitment to prudent financial
stewardship and maintains the Village’s stable financial position that has resulted from
years of financial discipline by the Village Board and staff. In total, the Village is
proposing a $43 million dollar operating and capital improvements budget for FY
2024-25. The various operating funds and department budgets were discussed in
detail at the budget workshop held on March 16, 2024.
The General Fund, which is the Village’s main operating budget, reflects an estimated
expenditure of fund balance revenue of $522,716 at fiscal year-end (April 30, 2025).
Based upon the revenue and expenditure projections appearing in the Village’s fiveyear operating and capital budget plan, the General Fund reserve balance is projected
to be 48.45% at the end of FY 2028-29, which falls just below the targeted reserve
range of 50% to 75% of annual operating expenditures. Staff is monitoring the
projected balances and working on initiatives to bring the balance within the targeted
range prior to the development of the FY 2028-2029 Budget.
Reflected within the document is the Village’s continued effort to build on and refine
its service model to best serve the community. This year’s budget reflects the target of
having full staffing across all operating departments.

6-C. 1

Capital improvements continue to remain a strategic priority for the Village Board. As
part of the Village’s commitment to address aging infrastructure, the budget includes
$7.3 million of capital expenditures scheduled for next year. Major projects include the
South Basin sewer improvements as well as street reconstruction on Brainard and
Shawmut avenues. Roadway construction costs for the Brainard and Shawmut Avenue
projects are primarily funded (70%) by federal surface transportation grants, which
helps maximize the impact of expenditures of limited Village resources. Additional
projects include sewer lining in various sections of the Village, streetscape
improvements between the Central and West End Business Districts, and engineering
& construction costs related to the 50th Street storm sewer project which is contingent
based on the outcome of current litigation between the Village and Heidelberg
Materials.
The Village’s proposed budget shows a continued commitment of capital funding of
$2.5 million annually. The transfer reflects the Village’s continued emphasis on
improving the Village’s aging infrastructure. The transfer will also support bond
funding for future infrastructure projects.
The proposed budget accounts for investments in community priorities and maintains
the vitality of the Village while ever-mindful of managing the costs of local government
services. With conservative revenue projections and proposed expenditures, the
Village is able to continue to deliver high quality Village services and continue to
advance the Village Board’s strategic priorities.
Attached is a Resolution approving the FY 2024-25 Budget, which is the sole budget
requiring approval as subsequent fiscal year budgets through FY 2028-29 are
presented for future planning purposes only. The five-year projections provide a
comprehensive planning tool for forecasting revenues and expenditures for future
years in an effort to maintain the Village’s strong financial position over the long term.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution adopting the FY 2024-25
Operating and Capital Improvements Budget.
