VII.A.3
Consider an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Amendment to Permit
the Expansion of the Existing Medical Office at 311 E. Northwest
Highway
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioner is proposing to expand the existing physical therapy office into a
unoccupied adjacent tenant space. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting approval of
the following:
Special Use amendment to Ordinance #O-116-23 to permit the expansion of a
Medical office at the Subject Property.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Subject Property is zoned B-2 General Business District. The expanded
tenant space is approximately 1,789 sq. feet, in addition to the existing
underlying medical office area of approximately 4,000 square feet.
• The existing medical office (physical therapy) was granted Special Use approval
(#O-116-23) in October 2023 and has occupied the space since that time. Prior
to occupying its current location, the Petitioner operated the same medical use
beginning in 2018 at another location on Northwest Highway.
• The daily number of clients served will not change as part of the expansion, but
will provide larger office and physical therapy areas for the use. The business
intends to maintain the current hours of operation, services offered, and staffing
counts. The applicant has stated a need for additional space for the practice.
• Clinic hours are:
o Monday -Thursday: 7 AM to 7 PM
o Friday: 7 AM to 5 PM
o Saturday & Sunday: Closed
• The required parking remains the same for both the previous tenant and the
proposed medical office expansion. Therefore, there are no additional code-
related parking requirements or zoning relief necessary to accommodate the
expansion.

VII.A.4
Consider an Ordinance Granting a Variation for a Fence in the Side
Yard Abutting a Street Yard at 158 N. Maple Street
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioners initially requested to install a 5-foot-tall solid fence in the side yard
abutting a street (Wood Street), with a 0-foot setback and without the required
landscaping. Through the initial review, the plans were amended to include a 6-foot tall
solid fence, with a 3-foot setback from the side yard abutting a street lot line and a
landscaping plan, which was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the
Public Hearing. Subsequent to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the
Petitioner again amended the proposed plans to reduce the height to 5-feet and revised
the fence elevation to provide a more open style fence. Therefore, the Petitioners are
now requesting approval of the following:
Variation for a 5-foot tall fence to be set back 3 feet from a side lot line
abutting a street, instead of the minimum required 5-foot setback.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Subject Property is zoned R-2 Single-Family and located on the
southwestern corner of Wood Street and Maple Avenue. The Petitioners recently
occupied the newly constructed home and have applied for zoning relief to allow
the proposed fence.
• The initial application did not include landscaping and was included as part of
the public notice. The Petitioners have since revised the plans to include
landscaping and, therefore, that variation was further removed from
consideration.
• Following the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Petitioners revised
their application and are now proposing a 5-foot-tall fence, with a revised
elevation. The originally proposed setback of 3 feet is maintained. The
application reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission on January 27,
2026, requested to construct a 6-foot-tall solid cedar fence, including
landscaping, 3 feet from the side lot line abutting Wood Street.
• Pursuant to 6.03(b)(4)(d)(ii) of the Village of Palatine Zoning Code - the following
standards are established for fences in a side yard abutting a street, abutting
another side yard:
o Fences are required to be set back at a minimum distance of 5 feet from
the lot line.
o Landscaping is required for fences that are set back 10 feet or less from
the lot line.
o Landscaping must be a minimum of 36 inches in height and is subject to
Planning and Zoning Department review.
• Upon review of the surrounding area, fences abutting the street and near to the
Page 52 of 141
lot line are open-style, and below 6 feet in height.
• In 2024, the Subject Property was granted a Special Use to permit a 15-foot
setback from the side yard lot line abutting the street (Wood Street) instead of
the required setback of 20 feet for the R-2 zoning district.
• Per the Petitioners' application, the existing parkway (7 feet) along Wood Street
establishes a sufficient setback between the fence and the sidewalk. The
sidewalk location results in an atypical parkway design. The sidewalk
immediately abuts the street as there is no landscaping buffer separating it from
the curb edge. The narrative also states that the proposed fence will reduce
vehicle headlight glare projecting upon the lot from vehicles exiting the Groves of
Palatine subdivision. The Petitioners submitted materials visualizing the light
impacts.
BUDGET IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Public Hearing: Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) meeting on January 27, 2026.
Residents testifying: None.
Vote: The PZC voted 4-3, recommending approval of the Variation. Letters of support
and one email objection were also submitted. While staff had recommended denial,
with the reduced height to 5 feet, fence elevation revision to a semi-open style and
landscaping, Staff now recommends action at the Village Council's discretion.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to approve an ordinance granting a Variation to permit a fence in a side yard
abutting a street at 158 N. Maple Street.

I am not sure of the material for the fence, but to be consistent with the other fences facing Wood, I would prefer a 3 .
aluminum fence along Wood
St. I would strenuously object to a privacy fence. The 3 vs. 5 is not a
big issue for me.

Subject: Support for Case #VAR-000234-2025 (158 N. Maple St.)
To the Village of Palatine Zoning Board of Appeals,
As a resident at 237 W Wood St, I am writing to express my full support for the fence
setback and landscaping variations requested by Christopher and Stephanie Thomas for
their property at 158 N. Maple St.
I have reviewed their proposal and believe it is the best solution for our neighborhood for the
following reasons:
Visual Character: Their lot has a unique 7-foot inboard parkway that already provides a
significant green buffer. Placing the fence at the requested 3-foot mark maintains the open,
aesthetic feel of the streetscape.
Active Maintenance: Bringing the fence closer to the sidewalk ensures the property remains
a cohesive, well-maintained residential yard rather than creating a recessed gap that is
difficult to secure and manage.
Safety: The proposal maintains clear sightlines for drivers and pedestrians, which is vital for
that corner.
I urge the Board to approve these variations, as the unique layout of this lot justifies this
common-sense recognition of the existing safety buffers.
Sincerely,
Mike and Carol McCarthy

Attn: Ryan Auer
Re: Public Notice for 158 N. Maple Street
Case #VAR-000234-2025
Dear Mr. Auer & Zoning Board,
I am writing in support of a public notice posted for a fence setback and landscape variation requested by Christopher
and Stephanie Thomas on their property located at 158 N. Maple Street, Palatine, IL 60067.
I am a lifelong resident of Palatine and currently reside at 229 W. Wood Street. I was thrilled when the vacant lot was
purchased by Chris & Stephanie and, as you can see, they’ve built a beautiful home that is a huge improvement to this
corner and our community.
I am in full support of their request for these reasons:
1) I lived next to Chris & Stephanie for many years and they are meticulous about caring for and maintaining their
property
2) I have no doubt in my mind that what they are proposing would be acceptable and appealing to the public,
including neighbors
3) The location of their house runs parallel to Wood Street, which is a heavily traveled route with train traffic,
including cars picking up and dropping off passengers
4) This area also has heavy foot traffic due to nearby townhomes, condos, walking paths and the reservoir
5) A higher fence would actually look way better (in my opinion) than a lower one due to the location of their lot
and backyard, and …..
a. the higher fence would help not distract car traffic, ie, provide a clearer sightline for drivers and
pedestrians, especially with the corner lot location
b. it would prevent people driving or walking by to impose on Chris & Stephanie’s privacy
c. it would help to block car and train traffic, including headlights, etc.
I believe the neighbor who lives behind them has a row of hedges that acts as a fence and the shrubbery is super tall; if
Chris & Stephanie can’t have a fence more than xx feet tall, wouldn’t the same apply to the neighbor re: the height of his
bushes?
Regarding maintaining the landscaping in between the fence, yard and sidewalk – there is NO CONCERN here; Chris &
Stephanie will make sure the area is well maintained at all times and again, it’ll be a huge improvement over what has
been on that corner lot for well over 10+ years.
I am happy to speak with you in person about any questions re: this issue. I am very hopeful you will grant this exception
to them as they build their family home and continue to be a part of our Palatine community.
Thanks,
Sue VanDeVelde

PUBLIC NOTICE
A Public Hearing will be held before the Village of Palatine Planning and Zoning
Commission on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 7 PM, in the Village Council Chambers in
Palatine Village Hall, 200 E. Wood Street, relative to a request for the following:
• Variation for a fence to be set back 3 feet from a side lot line abutting a
street abutting a side yard, instead of the minimum required 5-foot setback.

does not include required landscaping, pursuant to 6.03(b)(4)(d)(ii) of the Palatine
Zoning Ordinance, along W. Wood Street.
The above petition has been filed by Christopher Thomas, Owner, and is available for
examination in the office of the Village Clerk, 200 E. Wood Street.

VII.B.1
Consider a Motion to Approve the Temporary Closure of Public
Streets and Waiver of Fees All Related to the Jaycees' Proposed 2026
Hometown Fest
BACKGROUND:
The Palatine Jaycees are planning to hold their annual Hometown Fest from
Wednesday, July 1 - Sunday, July 5, 2026. This festival is the Jaycees' largest
fundraiser of the year, with proceeds going directly back to the community through the
many programs they sponsor. The proposed festival hours are as follows:
• Wednesday, July 1: 5 PM - 11 PM (no alcohol served)
• Thursday, July 2: 5 PM - 11 PM (Special Needs Carnival)
• Friday, July 3: Noon - 11 PM (Fireworks at 9:30 PM)
• Saturday, July 4: Noon - 11 PM (Parade Kicks Off at 11 AM)
• Sunday, July 5: Noon - 5 PM
KEY ISSUES:
1. The Jaycees are requesting approval of the following:
o Waiver of fees for Village services, permits, and licenses.
o Temporary closure of Wood Street, between Mozart Street and Oak
Street, from Monday, June 29 (5 PM) - Sunday, July 5 for the
carnival. This approval would be subject to access being maintained to
the Village Hall and Park District facilities throughout the event.
o Carnival Setup will begin on Monday evening, June 29th and tear down
will start Sunday afternoon, July 5th and conclude on Monday, July 6th.
o Temporary closure of streets on Saturday, July 4th for the parade.
o The proposed event hours are consistent with what was approved by the
Palatine Park District at their December 8, 2025 Board Meeting.
2. The Sanborn School parking lot will be closed starting Sunday, June 28th for
carnival equipment arrival and set-up. The school and Park District have
approved this closure.
3. Any requested overnight security from the Palatine Police Department will be
billed and paid for by the Jaycees.

VII.B.2
Consider a Motion to Approve the Temporary Closure of Streets for
the Palatine St. Patrick's Parade on Saturday, March 14, 2026
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioner, Vicarious Multimedia, wishes to hold their annual Palatine St. Patrick’s
Parade event on Saturday, March 14, 2026. Parade setup would begin at 6 AM and the
parade would kick off at 11 AM.
KEY ISSUES:
• The event organizer, along with downtown local business sponsors, wish to hold
the Palatine St. Patrick’s Parade between Village Hall and Wood and Smith
Streets and are seeking approval for the temporary closure of streets for staging
as well as for the parade route.
• Staging for the parade would occur along Oak Street (in the school driveway and
the St. Paul United Church parking lot). The proposed route is west on Wood
Street (from Village Hall), then north on Smith Street, ending at Colfax Street.
This is similar to the route used in past years.
• The event organizers are in the process of seeking approval from both the St.
Paul United Church of Christ and School District 15 (Sanborn School) to utilize
their properties for staging.
• Vicarious Multimedia is working with sponsors and businesses in the downtown
(Durty Nellie's, JL's Pizza & Sports Bar, Tap House Grill and TJ Obriens Bar &
Grill). Staff is recommending that the Village cover 50% of the overtime costs for
any Police services for the event. The event organizer, with sponsors, would
cover the other 50%. It is anticipated that the 50% cost will be approximately
$900.
• In addition, a draft list of conditions has been prepared, which includes the
requirement for Vicarious Multimedia to reimburse the Village for 50% of any
Police/Fire/Public Works services for the event. Additionally, the Village Manager
shall have the authority to cancel the parade in the event of inclement weather.
• The event organizer is requesting to waive the Usage Fee for the use of public
streets (ROW) as this event is not generating any profit and is designed for the
community.
BUDGET IMPACT:
RECOMMENDATION:
Action is at the discretion of the Village Council.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to approve the temporary closure of streets for the 'Palatine St. Patrick's
Page 97 of 141
Parade' on Saturday, March 14, 2026, waiver of 50% of the police overtime expenses
and waiver of the public street usage fee.

VII.C.1
Consider a Motion Designating the Village Council as the Public
Hearing Body for the Proposed Recodification of the Palatine Code of
Ordinances, Including Appendix A: Zoning Ordinance and Appendix
B: Subdivision, Site Development, and Floodplain Regulations
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Home Rule Authority, the Village Council is authorized to codify and
publish ordinances that have the force and effect of law for the Village of Palatine,
arranged into a comprehensive system commonly referred to as the Palatine Code of
Ordinances.
Village staff have spent the last five or more years updating each chapter of the Code
of Ordinances. Since the last recodification was completed in 1976, the Village was due
for a recodification, which is generally recommended every ten years. As part of the
2024 budget, the Village Council approved funding for a comprehensive recodification
project, anticipated to take 18 to 24 months to complete. The project commenced in
April 2024 and is expected to be completed in March 2026, with the Council's vote on
approval.
KEY ISSUES:
• Staff anticipates bringing the recodified Code of Ordinances, including Appendix
A and Appendix B, before the Village Council on March 2 for consideration and
approval. The Code recently underwent a comprehensive recodification process
to reorganize, update, and modernize local laws and regulations, improve clarity,
and eliminate inconsistencies. The recodification process results in a revised
Code that is more accessible and understandable to the public, as much as it
benefits Village employees.
• Included in the recodification were changes to the Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant
to Section 14.06 of the Zoning Ordinance, any proposed amendment requires a
public hearing.
• The proposed amendments to Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance include
relocating certain sections from Appendix A into the Code of Ordinances. These
sections address administrative procedures rather than zoning regulations and
are more appropriately housed within the Code of Ordinances. In conjunction
with the ongoing recodification of the Palatine Code of Ordinances, the existing
Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance will be repealed and replaced in its entirety with
a newly recodified Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance.
BUDGET IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATION:

Designate Village Council as the public hearing body for the proposed recodification of
the Palatine Code of Ordinances, Including Appendix A: Zoning Ordinance and
Appendix B: Subdivision, Site Development, and Floodplain Regulations.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A public hearing will be held by the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Palatine on
Monday, March 2, 2026 at 7 PM, in the Village Council Chambers in the Palatine Village
Hall, 200 E. Wood Street, relative to a request for text amendments to Appendix A –
Zoning Ordinance of the Palatine Code of Ordinances. In conjunction with the ongoing
recodification of the Palatine Code of Ordinances, the Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance
will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with a new Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance. A
copy of the Proposed Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance is available for review in the office
of the Village Clerk.
The proposed text amendments, which are in conjunction with the Village’s ongoing
overall recodification of the Palatine Code of Ordinances, will relocate several sections
from the existing Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance that are primarily related to
administration and procedures to a new chapter within the Palatine Code of Ordinances,
while all of the zoning, land use, and bulk regulations will remain within a newly codified
Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance.

VII.D.1
Consider a Motion to Award a Contract for the 2026 Street
Resurfacing Program
BACKGROUND:
On a yearly basis, the Village of Palatine undertakes a street resurfacing program
designed to achieve the Village’s stated goal of having all streets at the “good” level as
defined by the COE-APWA Micro Paver Program. Thirty-nine (39) sections of streets
were identified for resurfacing, totaling approximately 5.9 miles. In addition, the
proposed work includes inlet repairs, sidewalk replacement for ADA accessible ramps,
curb/gutter replacement, along with base course repairs.
KEY ISSUES:
• The street resurfacing program’s major funding source is the State Motor Fuel
Tax (MFT) fund. Thus, bidding and contract awards must be in accordance with
IDOT procedures.
• On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, six bids were received that were properly
prepared, with affidavits completed and signatures executed, and therefore
found to be compliant.
• The 2026 contractual program budget is $3,640,000. The low bid for the
contractual resurfacing work is 18.1% under the 2026 Adopted Budget.
• Builders Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois submitted the lowest compliant bid in the
amount of $2,980,188.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds have been budgeted in the 2026 Capital Improvement Program. The low
compliant bid will result in savings of approximately $660,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the contract for the 2026 Street Resurfacing Program be
awarded to Builders Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois in the amount of $2,980,188.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to award the contract for the 2026 Street Resurfacing Program to Builders
Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois in the amount of $2,980,188.

VII.D.2
Consider a Supplemental Resolution Appropriating $321,288 of Motor
Fuel Tax Funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program
BACKGROUND:
Approximately 7.44 miles of local roadway were improved as part of the 2025 Street
Resurfacing Program. The scope of work included pavement resurfacing, patching,
curb and gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement, drainage structure repairs, and
pavement markings. These improvements were completed in Summer of 2025.
During the final close-out paperwork process, it was identified that the original Motor
Fuel Tax (MFT) resolution approved by Council did not fully align with the actual
expenditures incurred for the project. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
requires that all MFT funded expenditures be supported by an approved resolution
reflecting the correct amounts.
KEY ISSUES:
• This proposed resolution appropriates an additional $321,288 to reconcile the
previously approved funding with the final project costs.
• Approval of this resolution will allow the Village to remain in compliance with
IDOT requirements and properly document the use of MFT funds for work that
has already been completed.
BUDGET IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the supplemental resolution appropriating $321,288 of Motor
Fuel Tax funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program be approved.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to approve the supplemental resolution appropriating $321,288 of Motor Fuel
Tax funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program.

VII.D.3
Consider a Motion to Approve the Purchase of Asphalt Surface,
Binder, and Cold Patch in 2026
BACKGROUND:
The Village typically uses approximately 7,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt surface course in
an average year. The bulk of it is used during the annual in-house street resurfacing
program. Twenty-eight sections of streets were identified to be resurfaced in-house,
totaling approximately 5.31 miles. Asphalt surface and binder course are also used for
water main break restoration and deep cut patching. Unique paving material (UPM),
also known as cold patch, is used for patching during the winter when temperatures are
too cold to use hot-mix. The award of this contract supports the in-house resurfacing of
28 streets.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Village participated in a joint bid for roadway maintenance materials
coordinated with the Village of Arlington Heights.
• On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, two bids were received and opened by the
Village of Arlington Heights. The low responsive and responsible bidder was
Builders Asphalt, LLC of Hillside, Illinois.
• Raw material costs are not the only item considered when evaluating the bid.
Mileage from the individual asphalt plants to the Public Works facility was
considered when evaluating the bids. A multiplier of $2.16 per ton per mile was
added to the unit prices based on average heavy-duty truck operation rates. The
plants range in distance from 9.6 to 24.7 miles, adding $20.74 up to $53.35 to
the unit prices. While Builders Asphalt had the highest unit price of the bidders,
their three plants are the closest to Public Works, thus making them the lowest
bidder after factoring in the mileage multiplier.
• Builders Asphalt unit prices are $71 per ton for surface, $69 per ton for binder,
and $175 per ton for cold patch.
• Based on the streets to be resurfaced in-house this year and average amounts
used for routine repairs, Staff anticipates using approximately 7,000 tons of hot-
mix asphalt surface course, 1,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt binder course, and
100 tons of UPM cold patch, amounting to $583,500.
• But for this cooperative bid, cost increases of at least 5% were anticipated. Last
year, the cost was $68 per ton for surface, $66 per ton for binder, and $175 per
ton for cold patch. Participating in the joint-bid allowed for economies of scale,
resulting in a small increase of 4.5% this year for surface and binder, which are
the most-used materials. There was no increase for cold patch.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds have been appropriated in the 2026 Capital Improvement Program and the
Page 113 of 141
Operating Budget to accommodate these material purchases.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Builders Asphalt to purchase asphalt
surface, binder, and cold patch for the 2026 season.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to award the contract to Builders Asphalt, LLC of Hillside, Illinois to purchase
asphalt surface, binder, and cold patch for the 2026 season.

VII.D.4
Consider a Motion Authorizing the Village Manager to Directly Solicit
Bids for Electrical Energy and Execute Agreements with Third Party
Power Suppliers
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, the deregulation of the electrical industry in Illinois was completed with the
separation of power suppliers from power distributors. In northern Illinois, this
essentially meant that Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) would no longer be the sole
provider of power to homes and businesses. The Village opted to join the Northern
Illinois Municipal Electric Cooperative (NIMEC) in 2007 and then in 2009 opted to
separately bid out our energy on our own. The Village's load profiles were found
advantageous to power suppliers when not merged with less desirable profiles or
municipalities which are lower total power consumers.
The Village obtained favorable rates and entered into a two-year agreement for 2009-
2011 and biannual contracts again in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025.
Our current energy only rates are 4.73 cents per kilowatt hour for facilities and 3.69
cents per kilowatt hour for street lighting, which is well below the default rate, if not
competitively bid. The futures market for 2027 now looks favorable and thus we
recommend testing the marketplace.
This year, Staff is again recommending we seek bids to extend electric power service
beyond our current contract set to expire in the first half of 2027. If we do nothing, our
street light energy costs will automatically default to the ComEd hourly rate which would
average higher than our current rates and those anticipated through an independent bid
process.
KEY ISSUES:
• Bids would be taken from a third-party supplier in February of 2026.
• The proposed agreements will run from May 2027 to May 2029.
• Soliciting and obtaining bids does not commit the Village to either accept the rate
or to pay any penalties.
• The Village will still have the option of going with the ICC/ComEd rate if bid
results are unfavorable.
• Similar to the bond market, electric rates will vary from day-to-day, if not from
hour-to-hour. Once a rate is received, the Village will have to execute a contract
within a 3-to-4-hour time period. Accordingly, the Village Manager would need
the authority to execute a contract with a third-party supplier if the rate received
is deemed to be in the best interest of the Village.
• It is proposed to bid certain facilities as one bid package and streetlights in
another bid package to tailor preferred load profiles.
Page 117 of 141
BUDGET IMPACT:
No impact for the 2025 budget but the potential to lower long term costs and bring
budgetary certainty.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Village Manager to directly solicit bids for electrical energy, as well as
executing contracts with third party power suppliers if it is in the best interest of the
Village to do so.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion authorizing the Village Manager to directly solicit bids for electrical energy, as
well as executing contracts with third party power suppliers if, in his opinion, it is in the
best interest of the Village to do so.

Consider a Motion Approving a Waiver of the Village of Palatine's
Sound Amplification Ordinance for the St. Pat's Post Parade Event on
March 14, 2026 at Tap House Grill, 56 W. Wilson Street
BACKGROUND:

Consider an Ordinance Approving a Special Use Transfer to Permit
the Continued Operation of Durty Nellies Irish Pub at 180 N. Smith
Street
BACKGROUND:
The current Special Use for Durty Nellies was originally approved in 2002 and issued to
Mark Dolezal as the owner. The present request is to transfer the Special Use to the
business, D. Nellies Properties, LLC and requesting approval of the following:
Transfer of Special Use #O-147-02 to permit the continued operation of Durty Nellies
at 180 N. Smith Street.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Subject Property, zoned Planned Development, contains the existing Durty
Nellies restaurant and related improvements. The Special Use was initially
approved in 2002 and amended in 2011.
• The business hours, operations, and floor plan will remain the same.
BUDGET IMPACT:

Consider an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Amendment to Permit
the Expansion of the Existing Medical Office at 311 E. Northwest
Highway
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioner is proposing to expand the existing physical therapy office into a
unoccupied adjacent tenant space. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting approval of
the following:
Special Use amendment to Ordinance #O-116-23 to permit the expansion of a
Medical office at the Subject Property.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Subject Property is zoned B-2 General Business District. The expanded
tenant space is approximately 1,789 sq. feet, in addition to the existing
underlying medical office area of approximately 4,000 square feet.
• The existing medical office (physical therapy) was granted Special Use approval
(#O-116-23) in October 2023 and has occupied the space since that time. Prior
to occupying its current location, the Petitioner operated the same medical use
beginning in 2018 at another location on Northwest Highway.
• The daily number of clients served will not change as part of the expansion, but
will provide larger office and physical therapy areas for the use. The business
intends to maintain the current hours of operation, services offered, and staffing
counts. The applicant has stated a need for additional space for the practice.
• Clinic hours are:
o Monday -Thursday: 7 AM to 7 PM
o Friday: 7 AM to 5 PM
o Saturday & Sunday: Closed
• The required parking remains the same for both the previous tenant and the
proposed medical office expansion. Therefore, there are no additional code-
related parking requirements or zoning relief necessary to accommodate the
expansion.

Consider an Ordinance Granting a Variation for a Fence in the Side
Yard Abutting a Street Yard at 158 N. Maple Street
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioners initially requested to install a 5-foot-tall solid fence in the side yard
abutting a street (Wood Street), with a 0-foot setback and without the required
landscaping. Through the initial review, the plans were amended to include a 6-foot tall
solid fence, with a 3-foot setback from the side yard abutting a street lot line and a
landscaping plan, which was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the
Public Hearing. Subsequent to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the
Petitioner again amended the proposed plans to reduce the height to 5-feet and revised
the fence elevation to provide a more open style fence. Therefore, the Petitioners are
now requesting approval of the following:
Variation for a 5-foot tall fence to be set back 3 feet from a side lot line
abutting a street, instead of the minimum required 5-foot setback.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Subject Property is zoned R-2 Single-Family and located on the
southwestern corner of Wood Street and Maple Avenue. The Petitioners recently
occupied the newly constructed home and have applied for zoning relief to allow
the proposed fence.
• The initial application did not include landscaping and was included as part of the
public notice. The Petitioners have since revised the plans to include landscaping
and, therefore, that variation was further removed from consideration.
• Following the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Petitioners revised
their application and are now proposing a 5-foot-tall fence, with a revised
elevation. The originally proposed setback of 3 feet is maintained. The
application reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission on January 27, 2026,
requested to construct a 6-foot-tall solid cedar fence, including landscaping, 3
feet from the side lot line abutting Wood Street.
• Pursuant to 6.03(b)(4)(d)(ii) of the Village of Palatine Zoning Code - the following
standards are established for fences in a side yard abutting a street, abutting
another side yard:
o Fences are required to be set back at a minimum distance of 5 feet from
the lot line.
o Landscaping is required for fences that are set back 10 feet or less from
the lot line.
o Landscaping must be a minimum of 36 inches in height and is subject to
Planning and Zoning Department review.
• Upon review of the surrounding area, fences abutting the street and near to the
lot line are open-style, and below 6 feet in height.
Page 123 of 141
• In 2024, the Subject Property was granted a Special Use to permit a 15-foot
setback from the side yard lot line abutting the street (Wood Street) instead of the
required setback of 20 feet for the R-2 zoning district.
• Per the Petitioners' application, the existing parkway (7 feet) along Wood Street
establishes a sufficient setback between the fence and the sidewalk. The
sidewalk location results in an atypical parkway design. The sidewalk
immediately abuts the street as there is no landscaping buffer separating it from
the curb edge. The narrative also states that the proposed fence will reduce
vehicle headlight glare projecting upon the lot from vehicles exiting the Groves of
Palatine subdivision. The Petitioners submitted materials visualizing the light
impacts.
BUDGET IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Public Hearing: Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) meeting on January 27, 2026.

Vote: The PZC voted 4-3, recommending approval of the Variation. Letters of support
and one email objection were also submitted. While staff had recommended denial, with
the reduced height to 5 feet, fence elevation revision to a semi-open style and
landscaping, Staff now recommends action at the Village Council's discretion.

Motion to approve an ordinance granting a Variation to permit a fence in a side yard
abutting a street at 158 N. Maple Street.

Consider a Motion to Approve the Temporary Closure of Streets for
the Palatine St. Patrick's Parade on Saturday, March 14, 2026
BACKGROUND:
The Petitioner, Vicarious Multimedia, wishes to hold their annual Palatine St. Patrick’s
Parade event on Saturday, March 14, 2026. Parade setup would begin at 6 AM and the
parade would kick off at 11 AM.
KEY ISSUES:
• The event organizer, along with downtown local business sponsors, wish to hold
the Palatine St. Patrick’s Parade between Village Hall and Wood and Smith
Streets and are seeking approval for the temporary closure of streets for staging
as well as for the parade route.
• Staging for the parade would occur along Oak Street (in the school driveway and
the St. Paul United Church parking lot). The proposed route is west on Wood
Street (from Village Hall), then north on Smith Street, ending at Colfax Street.
This is similar to the route used in past years.
• The event organizers are in the process of seeking approval from both the St.
Paul United Church of Christ and School District 15 (Sanborn School) to utilize
their properties for staging.
• Vicarious Multimedia is working with sponsors and businesses in the downtown
(Durty Nellie's, JL's Pizza & Sports Bar, Tap House Grill and TJ Obriens Bar &
Grill). Staff is recommending that the Village cover 50% of the overtime costs for
any Police services for the event. The event organizer, with sponsors, would
cover the other 50%. It is anticipated that the 50% cost will be approximately
$900.
• In addition, a draft list of conditions has been prepared, which includes the
requirement for Vicarious Multimedia to reimburse the Village for 50% of any
Police/Fire/Public Works services for the event. Additionally, the Village Manager
shall have the authority to cancel the parade in the event of inclement weather.
• The event organizer is requesting to waive the Usage Fee for the use of public
streets (ROW) as this event is not generating any profit and is designed for the
community.

Consider a Motion Designating the Village Council as the Public
Hearing Body for the Proposed Recodification of the Palatine Code of
Ordinances, Including Appendix A: Zoning Ordinance and Appendix
B: Subdivision, Site Development, and Floodplain Regulations
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Illinois Statute 50 ILCS 220/2, the Village Council is authorized to codify
and publish ordinances that have the force and effect of law for the Village of Palatine,
arranged into a comprehensive system commonly referred to as the Palatine Code of
Ordinances.
Village staff have spent the last five or more years updating each chapter of the Code of
Ordinances. Since the last recodification was completed in 1976, the Village was due
for a recodification, which is generally recommended every ten years. As part of the
2024 budget, the Village Council approved funding for a comprehensive recodification
project, anticipated to take 18 to 24 months to complete. The project commenced in
April 2024 and is expected to be completed in March 2026, with the Council's vote on
approval.
KEY ISSUES:
• Staff anticipates bringing the recodified Code of Ordinances, including Appendix
A and Appendix B, before the Village Council on March 2 for consideration and
approval. The Code recently underwent a comprehensive recodification process
to reorganize, update, and modernize local laws and regulations, improve clarity,
and eliminate inconsistencies.
• Included in the recodification were changes to the Zoning Ordinance. Pursuant to
Section 14.06 of the Zoning Ordinance, any proposed amendment requires a
public hearing.
• The proposed amendments to Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance include relocating
certain sections from Appendix A into the Code of Ordinances. These sections
address administrative procedures rather than zoning regulations and are more
appropriately housed within the Code of Ordinances. In conjunction with the
ongoing recodification of the Palatine Code of Ordinances, the existing Appendix
A – Zoning Ordinance will be repealed and replaced in its entirety with a newly
recodified Appendix A – Zoning Ordinance.

Consider a Motion to Award a Contract for the 2026 Street
Resurfacing Program
BACKGROUND:
On a yearly basis, the Village of Palatine undertakes a street resurfacing program
designed to achieve the Village’s stated goal of having all streets at the “good” level as
defined by the COE-APWA Micro Paver Program. Thirty-nine (39) sections of streets
were identified for resurfacing, totaling approximately 5.9 miles. In addition, the
proposed work includes inlet repairs, sidewalk replacement for ADA accessible ramps,
curb/gutter replacement, along with base course repairs.
KEY ISSUES:
• The street resurfacing program’s major funding source is the State Motor Fuel
Tax (MFT) fund. Thus, bidding and contract awards must be in accordance with
IDOT procedures.
• On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, six bids were received that were properly
prepared, with affidavits completed and signatures executed, and therefore found
to be compliant.
• The 2026 contractual program budget is $3,640,000. The low bid for the
contractual resurfacing work is 18.1% under the 2026 Adopted Budget.
• Builders Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois submitted the lowest compliant bid in the
amount of $2,980,188.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds have been budgeted in the 2026 Capital Improvement Program. The low
compliant bid will result in savings of approximately $660,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the contract for the 2026 Street Resurfacing Program be
awarded to Builders Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois in the amount of $2,980,188.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to award the contract for the 2026 Street Resurfacing Program to Builders
Paving, LLC of Hillside, Illinois in the amount of $2,980,188.

Consider a Supplemental Resolution Appropriating $321,288 of Motor
Fuel Tax Funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program
BACKGROUND:
Approximately 7.44 miles of local roadway were improved as part of the 2025 Street
Resurfacing Program. The scope of work included pavement resurfacing, patching, curb
and gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement, drainage structure repairs, and
pavement markings. These improvements were completed in Summer of 2025.
During the final close-out paperwork process, it was identified that the original Motor
Fuel Tax (MFT) resolution approved by Council did not fully align with the actual
expenditures incurred for the project. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
requires that all MFT funded expenditures be supported by an approved resolution
reflecting the correct amounts.
KEY ISSUES:
• This proposed resolution appropriates an additional $321,288 to reconcile the
previously approved funding with the final project costs.
• Approval of this resolution will allow the Village to remain in compliance with
IDOT requirements and properly document the use of MFT funds for work that
has already been completed.
BUDGET IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the supplemental resolution appropriating $321,288 of Motor
Fuel Tax funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program be approved.

Tax funds for the 2025 Street Resurfacing Program.

Consider a Motion to Approve the Purchase of Asphalt Surface,
Binder, and Cold Patch in 2026
BACKGROUND:
The Village typically uses approximately 7,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt surface course in
an average year. The bulk of it is used during the annual in-house street resurfacing
program. Twenty-eight sections of streets were identified to be resurfaced in-house,
totaling approximately 5.31 miles. Asphalt surface and binder course are also used for
water main break restoration and deep cut patching. Unique paving material (UPM),
also known as cold patch, is used for patching during the winter when temperatures are
too cold to use hot-mix. The award of this contract supports the in-house resurfacing of
28 streets.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Village participated in a joint bid for roadway maintenance materials
coordinated with the Village of Arlington Heights.
• On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, two bids were received and opened by the
Village of Arlington Heights. The low responsive and responsible bidder was
Builders Asphalt, LLC of Hillside, Illinois.
• Raw material costs are not the only item considered when evaluating the bid.
Mileage from the individual asphalt plants to the Public Works facility was
considered when evaluating the bids. A multiplier of $2.16 per ton per mile was
added to the unit prices based on average heavy-duty truck operation rates. The
plants range in distance from 9.6 to 24.7 miles, adding $20.74 up to $53.35 to the
unit prices. While Builders Asphalt had the highest unit price of the bidders, their
three plants are the closest to Public Works, thus making them the lowest bidder
after factoring in the mileage multiplier.
• Builders Asphalt unit prices are $71 per ton for surface, $69 per ton for binder,
and $175 per ton for cold patch.
• Based on the streets to be resurfaced in-house this year and average amounts
used for routine repairs, Staff anticipates using approximately 7,000 tons of hot-
mix asphalt surface course, 1,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt binder course, and 100
tons of UPM cold patch, amounting to $583,500.
• But for this cooperative bid, cost increases of at least 5% were anticipated. Last
year, the cost was $68 per ton for surface, $66 per ton for binder, and $175 per
ton for cold patch. Participating in the joint-bid allowed for economies of scale,
resulting in a small increase of 4.5% this year for surface and binder, which are
the most-used materials. There was no increase for cold patch.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funds have been appropriated in the 2026 Capital Improvement Program and the
Page 133 of 141
Operating Budget to accommodate these material purchases.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Builders Asphalt to purchase asphalt
surface, binder, and cold patch for the 2026 season.

asphalt surface, binder, and cold patch for the 2026 season.

Consider a Motion Authorizing the Village Manager to Request
Proposals for Electrical Power and to Enter into Agreements
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, the deregulation of the electrical industry in Illinois was completed with the
separation of power suppliers from power distributors. In northern Illinois, this
essentially meant that Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) would no longer be the sole
provider of power to homes and businesses. The Village opted to join the Northern
Illinois Municipal Electric Cooperative (NIMEC) in 2007 and then in 2009 opted to
separately bid out our energy on our own. The Village's load profiles were found
advantageous to power suppliers when not merged with less desirable profiles or
municipalities which are lower total power consumers.
The Village obtained favorable rates and entered into a two-year agreement for 2009-
2011 and biannual contracts again in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2025.
Our current energy only rates are 4.73 cents per kilowatt hour for facilities and 3.69
cents per kilowatt hour for street lighting, which is well below the default rate, if not
competitively bid. The futures market for 2027 now looks favorable and thus we
recommend testing the marketplace.
This year, Staff is again recommending we seek bids to extend electric power service
beyond our current contract set to expire in the first half of 2027. If we do nothing, our
street light energy costs will automatically default to the ComEd hourly rate which would
average higher than our current rates and those anticipated through an independent bid
process.
KEY ISSUES:
• Bids would be taken from a third-party supplier in February of 2026.
• The proposed agreements will run from May 2027 to May 2029.
• Soliciting and obtaining bids does not commit the Village to either accept the rate
or to pay any penalties.
• The Village will still have the option of going with the ICC/ComEd rate if bid
results are unfavorable.
• Similar to the bond market, electric rates will vary from day-to-day, if not from
hour-to-hour. Once a rate is received, the Village will have to execute a contract
within a 3-to-4-hour time period. Accordingly, the Village Manager would need
the authority to execute a contract with a third-party supplier if the rate received
is deemed to be in the best interest of the Village.
• It is proposed to bid certain facilities as one bid package and streetlights in
another bid package to tailor preferred load profiles.
Page 135 of 141
BUDGET IMPACT:
No impact for the 2025 budget but the potential to lower long term costs and bring
budgetary certainty.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Village Manager to directly solicit bids for electrical energy, as well as
executing contracts with third party power suppliers if it is in the best interest of the
Village to do so.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion authorizing the Village Manager to request proposals for electrical power and to
enter into agreements

Consider a Resolution Approving a Planned Development Security
Deposit Reduction for Slade Street Crossing
BACKGROUND:
Slade Street Crossing is a 5-lot single-family residential planned development that was
approved in March, 2024. In addition to the Public Improvements' Security Deposit, all
residential planned developments are required to submit a Planned Development
security deposit of $10,000/unit to ensure the completion of each home site. The
Planned Development security deposit is maintained until the Certificate of Occupancy
is issued for each dwelling unit. An additional two homes received their Certificates of
Occupancy (4 out of the 5 lots). Thus, the Petitioner is requesting approval of the
following:
A $20,000 Planned Development Security Deposit Reduction for Slade Street
Crossing.
KEY ISSUES:
• As required by Code, a $50,000 Planned Development Security Deposit was
submitted to the Village to either ensure the completion of each home (5 total) or
to restore the site, if the developer did not complete the construction of the
homes.
• An additional two homes have been recently completed (4 of 5 total) and
received Certificates of Occupancy.
• After the requested reduction, the Village still retains both the remaining $10,000
Security Deposit for the final home and the remaining Public Improvements'
Security Deposit.
BUDGET IMPACT:
NA
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested Planned Development Security Deposit
reduction.
ACTION REQUIRED:
A motion to approve a resolution granting a Planned Development Security Deposit
Reduction for the Slade Street Crossing Subdivision.
