OLD BUSINESS
Special Use for Three Antennas President Pro Tem Murphy stated that this is a request for a
on an Existing Monopole Tower Special Use to Co-Locate Three Antennas on an Existing
7007 Austin Avenue Tower at 7007 Austin Avenue. This application was
07-ZP-S7 reviewed by Municipal Services Associates and they
recommended approval. The Plan Commission and Zoning
Board of Appeals also recommended this on a vote of 6-0.
Trustee LoVerde expressed his concern about interference
with public safety frequencies for Police and Fire. His
recommendation is based on the importance of our
emergency frequency system and suggested that for this
project and all future projects the Village require a letter
clearly stating no interference with public safety frequencies
will occur and not accept any more vague language or
promise of best efforts as stated by Sprint in this case. Alex
Novak, representing Sprint Nextel, was present at the
meeting and stated that this language was from Mr.
Chapman and they were not being purposely vague. Stu
Chapman from Municipal Services was not present at this
meeting to respond; and Chuck Ostman, Director of
Community Development, stated he would contact Mr.
Chapman to get a clarification.
Trustee Preston made a motion, seconded by Trustee
Biederman, to continue 07-ZP-27 Special Use for Three
Antennas on Existing Monopole Tower located at 7007
Austin Avenue until Stu Chapman of Municipal Services
clarifies as to whether this is an FCC designation or standard
wording. After additional discussion, it was decided that
moving this item to the February Board meeting would
create a tight timeframe for this project since the WiMAX
goes in April 1st. Trustee Biederman suggested that a
condition be put on passing this ordinance until a letter of
clarification is submitted. Trustee Preston then withdrew her
Motion to Continue and Trustee Biederman withdrew
seconding of the Motion.
Trustee LoVerde then made a motion, seconded by Trustee
Przybylo, to adopt the Ordinance which approves a Special
Use for Three Antennas on Existing Monopole Tower at
7007 Austin with an Amendment stating that for this project
3
January 22, 2008

07-ZP-29 The parcel encompasses lot 69, 68 and ½ of lot 67 in which
this parcel previously occupied a single family home on the

Special Use for Indoor Hand President Pro Tem Murphy stated that this is a request for a
Car Wash Special Use to construct and operate a hand car wash with a
6747 W. Touhy Avenue vehicle stacking variation at 6747 W. Touhy Avenue. The
08-ZP-01 Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals approved
this by a 6-0 vote with the following conditions: right turn
out only to Touhy from the exit near the east property line,
overhead doors to remain closed except for entering and
existing; and applicant is required to landscape and berm the
south end of Riverside Drive, plans to be submitted for
approval.
Trustee Biederman questioned what type of lighting there
was in the surrounding areas and parking lot. The architect
for the project, Raffy Arzoumanian, stated that there are
lights mounted on the building that shine out to the parking
lot with a shield on top so the light doesn’t spill beyond the
property line but it lights up the parking area. Trustee
Biederman was also concerned about the number of parking
spots for employees. It shows that there are only five parking
spots designated for ten employees. Attorney Paul Kolpak,
representing the petitioner, stated that only five spots are
required for the number of employees. Trustee LoVerde
added that one of those five spots is handicapped, and asked
if an employee can park in a handicapped spot if they are not
a handicapped person. The answer is no. There are then
only four parking spots for employees. Mr. Arzoumanian
responded that it is his understanding that at any given time
there will only be six to seven employees present.
Trustees Biederman and LoVerde were also concerned about
parking in the residential area of Riverside Drive. Trustee
LoVerde asked if parking was allowed on the west end of
Riverside Drive. Attorney Kolpak stated that there is no
restriction to parking there. Trustee Callero stated that it
looks like there are at least four spots and the south end of it
will be berm, they will not be able to get into the residential
area of Riverside Drive.
Trustee LoVerde was concerned about the timing of the
lights at Riverside Drive. The traffic consultant timed the
light at 25 seconds and estimated that 10 vehicles can move
5
January 22, 2008
through the intersection during that time. Attorney Kolpak
explained the way this project is designed; you will never
have more than one car going out of there every five
minutes. It takes approximately 20 minutes from start to
finish of the car wash. Clearly 10 cars will not be coming out
all at once. Trustee LoVerde asked about the cost for a hand
car wash. Attorney Kolpak stated that the minimum price
would be $15-$20 and up. Trustee LoVerde then asked staff
if we have any ordinance that deals with the hours of
operation of a car wash. Mr. Ostman stated that we did not
and that would be part of the Special Use.
Trustee Preston questioned where the landscape and berm
plan was for the south end of Riverside Drive. Mr. Ostman
stated that no berm plan has been submitted. Attorney
Kolpak stated that they would submit that plan assuming
they got the zoning and that it was part of the landscaping
package. Trustee Preston asked if concerns from the Village
Departments had been addressed, specifically, the
Engineering Department stated that all water had to be held
on the property to prevent freezing on Touhy Avenue and
Riverside. Attorney Kolpak stated that this is part of the
Civil Engineering Plan and they will do that. Thinking about
the environment, Trustee LoVerde wondered if there was
any apparatus in this car wash system that recycles water.
Mr. Arzoumanian stated that at this point they haven’t
looked into it, but he encourages all of his clients to seriously
consider it.
Trustee Murphy stated that vehicle stacking is a big concern
for the Police Department. If there is more than the
exhibited 10 cars, the overflow will then be on Riverside
Drive and Touhy Avenue. There is also concern about the
entrance to the bicycle path and that the stacking cars will be
a hazard to those using the path. Attorney Kolpak answered
that the stacking is not on Riverside Drive and that the cars
will be moving slowly into the car wash. There is a light on
Touhy Avenue for the bicyclists and pedestrians to cross
safely. Trustee LoVerde stated that these conceptual
drawings are terrific, but in reality only time will tell if these
cars begin to stack up, come on Riverside Drive and block
the sidewalk. Attorney Kolpak stated that because it is a
hand car wash and not an automatic car wash, the pace will
be slower, it takes at least 20 minutes to wash a car, and they
don’t anticipate stacking because someone would have to
wait over two hours to get their car washed.
