PROPOSAL The development proposal is for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) allowing the construction of a five-story 97-unit multifamily residential apartment building with rooftop amenity, 128 on-site parking stalls (1.4 spaces per unit), IDOT improvements in the Main Street (Route 83) ROW, corresponding landscaping, site lighting, and streetscape improvements on the property at 10 North Main Street at the northwest corner of Main and Central. The unit mix for the project currently anticipates 14 studio apartments, 51 1-bedroom units, 28 2-bedroom units, and 4 3-bedroom units.

Provided approval for the project is granted, permit drawings will be submitted for review and permits for on-site improvements could be issued late Summer 2019, with closing and construction commencing early Fall 2019.

That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare; RESPONSE: The proposed development will not be detrimental to, or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The project proposal is to develop an appropriately scaled multifamily residential apartment building at an intersection where similar uses exist. A residential development at the corner is a lower intensity use than a commercial use that previously existed on the property or could otherwise be permitted on the property, and the proposed use is compatible with adjoining properties. 2. That the conditional use will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located; RESPONSE: The proposed development will not be injurious to the uses and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. Other than the Mount Prospect library on the southeast corner and Huntington Bank adjacent to the north of the subject property, the adjoining and surrounding parcels contain residential uses. The proposed multifamily residential apartment building is a compatible use and the significant investment in the site and building will enhance the property’s value and be an improvement to an otherwise vacant, underutilized, and unsightly property. 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district; RESPONSE: The proposed development will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properties for uses permitted in the district since the property is an in-fill location with all surrounding properties already developed. The proposed development will not affect or impact any adjoining property that undergoes a future redevelopment. 4. That adequate public utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or will be provided; RESPONSE: The proposed development utilizes existing public utilities, roads, and drainage systems or will install new improvements to accommodate the project demand, as required. Preliminary engineering and architectural improvement plans depicting existing and proposed improvements accompany this application. 5. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; 205 West Wacker Drive, Suite 901 Chicago, Illinois 60606 (312) 857-7000 Telephone (312) 857-7015 Facsimile Mr. Jason Shallcross 10 North Main Street, Mount Prospect January 19, 2019 – Page 10 RESPONSE: The application includes engineering plans that support adequate measures are being taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public street. Access will be provided via an existing access on Main Street (Route 83) which is shared
