Motion to Waive the Formal Bidding Process and Accept Quotes in the Amount of $49,890.61 from Dell for the Purchase of Computer Equipment

PREPARED BY: Mindy L. Hite, Director of Information Technology

REVIEWED BY: Pamela S. Reece, Assistant City Manager John Cherry, Network Administrator

BUDGET IMPACT: $50,000 was budgeted in line item 733-4010-413.75-45 for this purchase.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Quotes

BACKGROUND

The construction of the Town's Local/Wide Area Network began in 1998. The network was designed to electronically connect all of the outlying facilities to City Hall to improve communication and to create data sharing opportunities throughout the entire organization. Since that time funds have been budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Reserve for equipment replacement and to make future enhancements to the network.

The computer equipment purchased during the 2005/06 Fiscal Year, which includes 35 PCs and 6 Laptops, is scheduled for replacement in this Fiscal Year.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Between 2003 through 2006, we have acquired computer equipment from a contract with Dell on the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program. Unfortunately, the State has chosen to lease computer equipment. Therefore, the current computer contracts with IBM and HP do not include a purchase option.

The Town does receive a special government rate on equipment purchased through Dell. The discount is approximately 15% to 20% off of the retail price. With the discount, the purchase price of these computers are actually less than the lease option offered by the State contract.

IT Staff has been extremely satisfied with Dell equipment and customer service. Standardizing on one computer manufacturer has been beneficial to Staff. For example, if there is an equipment failure Dell ships replacement parts overnight at our Technician's request. This allows us to resolve issues in less than 24 hours under most circumstances. Additionally, IT Staff is very familiar with Dell systems, giving them the ability to troubleshoot problems with greater accuracy.

Therefore, Staff is recommending the formal bidding process be waived and the computer equipment be purchased from the quotes from Dell. Page 1 of 2

Motion to Waive the Formal Bidding Process and Accept a Proposal from Felmley Dickerson Company in the Amount of $93,390.00 for General Contracting Services Related to the Installation of the New Modular Banking Facility at 104 Broadway

PREPARED BY: Wayne A. Aldrich, Uptown Development Director

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: A total of $106,000 is budgeted in line item 334-9829-466.45-15 to fund this work.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Original Request for Proposals, Contractor Proposals

BACKGROUND

On May 4, 2009, the Town Council authorized the City Manager to execute a license agreement with Commerce Bank NA for the relocation of the Uptown branch of Commerce Bank from the current modular facility located at 101 E. Mulberry Street to a new modular facility to be located at 102-104 Broadway Avenue in Uptown Normal. In the same action, the Council authorized a budget adjustment in the amount of $188,825 for the relocation and replacement of the modular banking facility. On May 18, 2009, the Council authorized a lease agreement with Recovery Solutions to provide the new modular banking facility and also authorized site work and asphalt paving to be performed by McLean County Asphalt Company.

As a part of the relocation of the Commerce Bank, it is necessary to secure the services of a general contractor to construct the drive-through lanes and canopy. The general contractor would also be responsible to coordinate the work of various contractors and private utilities, and to perform all other work necessary for an occupancy permit. A full description of the requested services is described in the attached Request for Proposals

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Town staff solicited proposals from three qualified area commercial contractors to perform the work on the modular bank site: CORE Construction, Johnston Contractors and Felmley Dickerson Company. One proposal was received by the 3 p.m. deadline on May 26, 2009. A second proposal from CORE Construction was submitted at 3:44 p.m. on May 26, 2009. The proposals are summarized as follows:

Felmley Dickerson Company $ 93,390 CORE Construction Company $ 119,000 TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

The low proposal from Felmley Dickerson Company appears complete and is within the anticipated amount for this work; therefore, Town staff is recommending acceptance of the proposal.

Since this work is required as soon as possible to allow the occupation of the modular bank on or before the August 1, 2009 deadline, Town staff is requesting that the Town Council waive the formal bid process and approve the proposal submitted by Felmley Dickerson.

Town staff is awaiting a proposal from Diebold, Inc. for the installation of banking equipment including pneumatic tubes and an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). The work by Diebold represents the final portion of work necessary for the modular bank installation. It is anticipated that the Diebold proposal will be ready for Town Council consideration at the June 15, 2009 meeting.

Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bloomington Normal Public Transit System Regarding the Sale and Distribution of Bus Passes in Town of Normal Facilities

PREPARED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Proposed Agreement

BACKGROUND

The Town of Normal was recently contacted by representatives of the Bloomington Normal Public Transit System inquiring as to the Town’s interest in serving as a distribution point for the sale of monthly bus passes. Currently, bus passes can only be purchased at the Transit System office located at 104 East Oakland Avenue in Bloomington. The Transit System Board is attempting to make those passes more accessible to the general public and have, therefore, approached both the Town of Normal and the City of Bloomington, along with each community’s respective public library, seeking an agreement to sell bus passes.

Staff recently received the attached Memorandum of Understanding which outlines the various responsibilities and obligations associated with the sale of bus passes.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The Town’s Legal Department has reviewed the proposed agreement and finds it to be acceptable. Under the proposed agreement, the Town would agree to make monthly bus passes available for sale at the City Hall building (Finance Department) and at the Normal Public Library. I have spoken with Library Director Brian Chase and he is supportive of the sale of bus passes at the Library. The proposed agreement will require some work on the part of the Town’s Finance Department and Library staff to handle cash associated with the sale of bus passes and to undertake the necessary bookkeeping as requested by the Bloomington Normal Transit System to reconcile the sale of bus passes with the cash received. As drafted, the agreement can be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice.

It is our understanding that the City of Bloomington is also agreeable to this arrangement and will soon be approving a similar Memorandum of Understanding.

Resolution Approving the Selection of and Accepting a Proposal from S.B. Friedman & Company in the Amount of $8,500.00 for a BID (Business Improvement District) Education Process for Uptown Stakeholders

PREPARED BY: Nora Dukowitz, Uptown Marketing Manager

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: Funding for this work is not included in the current budget; however, funds in the amount of $8,500 are available and can be obligated from fund 335-9880-466.20-10 Uptown Contractual Services to fund this work.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Proposal from S.B. Friedman, Letter from UNBA President Brian Simpson

BACKGROUND

In 2008, the Uptown Normal Business Association (UNBA) completed a strategic planning process facilitated by Julie Hile of the Hile Group. During the process, the UNBA preliminarily discussed the possibility of forming a Business Improvement District (BID). A Business Improvement District, also called a Special Service Area (SSA) in Illinois, is a taxing mechanism that allows local governments to tax and deliver services to limited geographic areas within their jurisdictions. Services provided by an SSA vary, including snow removal, trash pick-up, recycling, marketing assistance, infrastructure improvements, and more.

In late 2008, Brian Simpson, UNBA President, asked the Town on behalf of the association to consider partnering with the UNBA to engage Uptown stakeholders in an education process regarding BIDs/SSAs and to determine the viability and desirability of such a district in Uptown. The UNBA recommended that a professional consultant with expertise in the areas of BIDs/SSAs be brought in for this education process. Due to the UNBA’s limited funds, the association would not be able to facilitate this type of project without Town assistance.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

At the UNBA’s request, the Town issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in April 2009 for a BID consultant to assist with the education process targeting Uptown stakeholders. Four companies responded to the RFP by the April 30th deadline. The following members of the UNBA volunteered to form a selection committee to evaluate the responses: TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

• Brian Simpson, UNBA President and owner of Babbitt’s Books • Pam Locsin, Garlic Press co-owner • April Fritzen, Coffee Hound co-owner • Mary Strack, Jimmy John’s owner • Stephanie McClellan, UNBA Treasurer and branch manager for Commerce Bank

The selection committee, assisted by Town staff, evaluated the responses and chose to interview one firm – S.B. Friedman & Company. The selection committee conducted the interview on May 20th, 2009. Members of the selection committee responded favorably to S.B. Friedman & Company, and Brian Simpson, on behalf of the UNBA, recently requested the Town’s assistance in proceeding with and funding the education process for Uptown stakeholders. Per S.B. Friedman’s proposal, it is anticipated that the education process will cost roughly $8,500 and will include a kick-off phone conference, review of existing plans and tour of the area, pre-meeting with key stakeholders, and an educational presentation about BIDs/SSAs and associated handouts.

The team proposed by S.B. Friedman & Company is led by Geoffrey H. Dickinson. S.B. Friedman has considerable experience with BIDs/SSAs and other special districts, including several projects in Illinois. The selection committee was also impressed by the firm’s emphasis on consensus building.

This proposed Town Council action will approve the selection of S.B. Friedman & Company and accept its proposal to evaluate the potential for a BID/SSA and to assist with an education process for Uptown stakeholders. Since a BID/SSA will assist the Town with the management, maintenance and marketing of Uptown, Town staff recommends approval.

A Resolution Approving a Plan for Additional Parking Lot Landscaping -- Heartland Community College Baseball Stadium Complex

PREPARED BY: Mercy Davison, Town Planner

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Steven D. Mahrt, Corporation Counsel Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution

BACKGROUND

At its May 18, 2009 meeting, the Town Council conditionally approved a Site Plan for Heartland Community College to permit the construction of a baseball stadium complex (Res. No. 4367). As part of the Site Plan, a large parking lot will be constructed on the south side of the baseball stadium. A large screen will be installed on the south face of the stadium. The stadium developer plans to use the screen for drive-in movies and for advertising.

Based on the drive-in use, the landscaping plan does not include any trees in the six parking lot islands directly south of the screen. However, the landscaping plan does meet code in regard to the overall number of shade trees required in the parking lot interior.

At the Town Council meeting on May 18, Council member Cheryl Gaines asked if the Site Plan approval could be conditioned on trees being added to those islands in the event that drive-in movies do not occur on a regular enough basis. The Council then approved the Site Plan as proposed on the condition that Town Staff return with a condition addressing Ms. Gaines’ concerns.

Since the May 18 meeting, Town staff has discussed the issue with the stadium developer. He indicated that he would be willing to plant trees if fewer than three drive-in movies are shown per year, although he does not want trees to block the screen from Raab Road.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Town staff recommends approval of a plan to add ornamental trees in the islands that currently have no trees if fewer than three drive-in movies are shown per year. These trees will provide both shade and aesthetic benefits without obscuring the sign. The Community Design Standards landscaping code permits up to half of the parking lot trees as ornamental varieties. Thus, this solution meets code and satisfies the goals of the stadium developer.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLAN FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING – HEARTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE BASEBALL STADIUM COMPLEX

WHEREAS, the Town of Normal is a home rule unit of local government with authority to legislate in matters concerning its local government and affairs; and

WHEREAS, the Town of Normal did on May 18, 2009, by approval of Resolution No. 4367 conditionally approve a site plan for Heartland Community College for a baseball stadium complex; and

WHEREAS, as part of the conditional approval provided in Resolution No. 4367 the developers of said baseball complex agreed to develop a plan meeting Town Staff approval for the addition of parking lot landscaping in the event the large screen video display is not used as planned; and

WHEREAS, Town Staff and the developer of the baseball stadium have agreed to a plan which will require the planting of additional ornamental trees in the parking lot islands south of the baseball stadium in the event the large video display screen is used fewer than three times per year to show “drive-in” movies; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Normal to approve said plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEESS FOR THE TOWN OF NORMAL, ILLINOIS:

SECTION ONE: That the plan for additional parking lot landscaping in the south parking lot of the baseball stadium complex constructed at Heartland Community College be and the same is hereby approved. Such additional landscaping shall consist of ornamental trees meeting Town Staff approval to be placed in the landscape islands in the south parking in the event the large screen video display is used fewer than three times per year to show “drive-in” movies.

An Ordinance Conditionally and Partially Approving an Amended Special Use Permit for First Assembly of God Master Plan -- 800 East Vernon

PREPARED BY: Mercy Davison, Town Planner

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Steven D. Mahrt, Corporation Counsel Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0)

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance, Aerial Map, Staff Report to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Minutes of the May 21, 2009 ZBA meeting are included in the Addendum.

BACKGROUND

First Assembly of God (800 E. Vernon Ave.) currently operates under a Special Use Permit originally approved in 1976 (Res. No. 1525). The church also owns four residences directly west of the sanctuary – 410 and 412 E. Vernon and 508 and 510 Wittenberg Court. Altogether, these properties encompass approximately 7.8 acres.

On May 4, 2009 the Town Council conditionally approved an amendment to First Assembly’s special use permit to allow a building addition on the north side of the existing structure and relocation of the playground to the east (Res. No. 5255). The recommendation included a variance for 269 parking spaces where code requires 554.

Master Plan

At this time the church has proposed a Master Plan for the entire property. In the Master Plan, a new sanctuary will be added to the east and a new parking lot will be added to the west on the four residential lots. The church also proposes a new outbuilding on the northeast corner of the property for storage.

Access onto the site will be altered to relocate the easternmost access on Vernon, expand the westernmost access on Vernon, and add a new access on Wittenberg Court. Per code, the Master Plan requires 1,578 parking spaces. The church is requesting a variance to provide only 303 spaces. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

The landscaping provisions of the Community Design Standards (CDS) apply to all development, even when the development is on an already-developed site. Thus, code requires that the entire church property meet the standards as part of the Master Plan. A variance is required to permit the application of the CDS only to the areas of the property being developed. If the church must remove any trees that qualify as “significant” under the code, they will have to replace those trees accordingly.

As you may recall, the primary concern raised by neighboring property owners in Phase II pertained to stormwater runoff. In Phase II, the church will address runoff with a temporary berm and improvements to the existing stormwater inlets. As part of the Master Plan, the church will be required under Town Code to address the stormwater runoff generated by any impervious area (building, parking, etc.) added to the site.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The Zoning Code sets forth standards for Special Uses in Sec. 15.10-5(a)(2). The standards include the provision of adequate off-street parking, avoidance of any negative impact on neighboring properties, tasteful signage, adequate screening, and overall compatibility with surrounding land uses. Special Use standards specific to churches are set forth in Sec. 15.10-4(F) and include building setbacks, a height maximum, and location adjacent to a major street.

Staff believes the First Assembly of God Master Plan meets these standards. In general, Town staff is supportive of the existing “neighborhood” churches seeking to improve their current sites rather than moving to the edge of town. Town staff believes that, as with the First Assembly of God project, church expansions can occur in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the neighborhood atmosphere.

In the First Assembly plan, the new sanctuary will help the church expand its programming and functionality. With its complementary design, the proposed sanctuary addition should fit in well with the existing structure.

Staff supports the requested parking variance for the same reasons applied to Phase II. First, the church does not have an existing parking problem. Second, staff supports the minimizing of paved areas when possible. Third, the parking requirements for churches, which are put into the “assembly use” category with uses such as restaurants, are under review by staff because the requirements seem excessive. (Town staff anticipates recommending a change to the parking requirements in the coming months.) Finally, the peak church use times are fairly infrequent in the course of a week, and nearby on-street parking is available.

Staff also supports a variance to permit the Community Design Standards (CDS) to be applied only to the portion of the site being developed, as is commonly permitted.

The McLean County Regional Planning Commission also reviewed First Assembly’s master plan, giving it a grade of “C” on its “Consistency Review” form. “C” grades are typical for projects that do not have a housing component or a mix of uses.

The Zoning Board of Appeals considered the Amended Special Use Permit for First Assembly of God at its May 21, 2009 meeting. Mike Carithers (P.J. Hoerr) testified on behalf of the church. Several neighbors testified with concerns about existing and future drainage problems caused by the church’s paved areas. Mr. Carithers explained that the church has hired an engineer to design both the temporary berm, which should block the water from running off the site to the north, and the permanent stormwater management system as required by Town code. One neighbor expressed concern about pedestrians parking on Grandview Drive and cutting through yards to reach the church. More than one person testifying also stated that the church is a good neighbor and that they are glad the church is improving its site.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

Based on its findings of fact, the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously (6-0) recommended in favor of the proposed Amended Special Use request with the following associated variances and conditions:

1. Parking variance for 303 parking spaces rather than 1,578 2. Community Design Standards application only to the portion of the site being altered 3. Compliance with the “significant tree” provisions in the Community Design Standards ordinance 4. Addition of a bike rack 5. Addition of trees along Vernon to meet code

Based on the reasons set forth above and the positive ZBA recommendation, Town staff recommends the Town Council approve the proposed Amended Special Use request with the previously listed variances and conditions.

Zoning Board of Appeals

Case #: 09-05-05-SU Prepared by: Mercy Davison, Town Planner

Special Use Description: Amended Special Use Permit to permit the construction of a new sanctuary, outbuilding, and parking lot on five properties owned by First Assembly of God (800 E. Vernon Avenue, 410 and 412 E. Vernon and 508 and 510 Wittenberg Court)

Staff Recommendation: Approval with conditions and variances

PROJECT INFORMATION

As set forth in Division 10 of the Zoning Code, non-minor changes to a site with a Special Use Permit must proceed through a public hearing held by the Zoning Board of Appeals prior to a final determination by the Town Council. The building addition and parking lot expansion proposed by the church constitute such a non-minor change.

At its April 16, 2009 meeting the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of an amendment to First Assembly’s special use permit to allow a building addition on the north side of the existing structure and relocation of the playground to the east. The recommendation also included a variance for the decrease in on-site parking from 307 spaces to 269 spaces where code requires 554 spaces. The Zoning Board conditioned the recommendation on the following three conditions:

1. Altering the west elevation with additional architectural features OR planting four 3” shade trees along that façade 2. Complying with the “significant tree” provisions in the Community Design Standards ordinance if applicable 3. Addressing site drainage problems with a berm meeting Town staff approval in Phase II.

The Town Council approved the special use amendment at its May 4, 2009 meeting (Res. No. 5255).

The church also has a Master Plan proposal for the entire site, including the four residential properties that it owns to the west of the church. The Zoning Board was unable to make a recommendation on the master plan at the April 16 meeting based on a deficiency in the notice. Effective notice has now been published and mailed.

(NOTE: The documents submitted by First Assembly include sheets pertaining to both the Master Plan and Phase II. Thus, be sure to check the “title” of each page to ensure you are looking at one or the other.)

Site Layout

As part of the Master Plan, a new sanctuary will be added to the east of the existing sanctuary and a new parking lot will be added to the west on the four residential lots. The new sanctuary will be built with materials similar to those approved for the building addition in Phase II – brick on the bottom third, and siding on the upper two-thirds. The new sanctuary will have a hipped roof similar to the one on the north building addition.

The church also proposes a new outbuilding on the northeast corner of the property. The structure will be roughly 30’x60’ in size with exterior materials to match church. The structure will be used for van parking and lawn equipment storage.

Access onto the site will be altered to relocate the easternmost access onto Vernon, expand the westernmost access onto Vernon, and add a new access onto Wittenberg Court. (The new access onto Wittenberg is shown on the Master Site Plan as a very light dotted line on the north end of the portion of the parking lot adjacent to Wittenberg.)

Parking Analysis

Based on an analysis of the church facility as a “Public Assembly Property” requiring one parking space for each 75 square feet of gross floor area, the built-out master plan will require 1,578 parking spaces for the total 118,415 sq.ft. of building. The master plan shows 303 spaces, which requires a variance.

No bicycle parking is shown, which is required by code. Parking lot lighting meets code with an average light level less than the 2 footcandles permitted by code and with house-side shields for all fixtures adjacent to residential properties. No wall-mounted lighting is shown – if such fixtures are added, they must meet the code’s full-cutoff requirement.

Landscaping Analysis

The landscaping plan provided with the Phase II submittal is actually the Master Plan landscaping plan. (If you do not have a copy, please let me know.)

The landscaping provisions of the Community Design Standards (CDS) apply to all development, even when the development is on an already-developed site. Thus, code technically requires that the entire First Assembly of God property be brought up to the CDS as part of the Phase II and Master Plan. Per a strict interpretation of the CDS, the site is required to have 100 trees and 500 shrubs based on the entire property perimeter of approximately 2,500 feet.

If the CDS is only applied to the areas of the property being developed, the site is required to have 70 trees, of which at least 35 must be shade varieties, and 350 shrubs, of which at least half must be true shrubs. This modified code analysis requires a variance. If the church must remove any trees that qualify as “significant” under the code, they will have to replace those trees accordingly.

The master landscaping plan shows 65 shade trees and 50 ornamentals/evergreens. The plan shows more than 350 shrubs/perennials. The plan also shows the required minimum of 20 feet green space between the parking lot and adjacent residential properties. Although the number of trees is code compliant, the areas along Vernon do not have enough trees to meet the requirement of one tree per 25 feet of frontage adjacent to public streets. (Each section of parking facing Vernon needs four shade trees.)

Given the length of time it will take to complete the entire Master Plan, the church has agreed to phase the landscaping in a manner that installs landscaping in areas adjacent to residential properties as soon as possible.

Stormwater Management

As you recall, the primary issue raised by neighboring property owners at the April 16 meeting pertained to stormwater runoff leaving the northwest end of the site. Town staff is aware of stormwater runoff problems occurring to the northeast as well. In the Phase II portion of the project, the church will address runoff with a temporary berm and improvements to the existing stormwater inlets on the north side of the site.

As part of the Master Plan, the church will be required under Town Code to address the stormwater runoff generated by any impervious area (building, parking, etc.) added to the site. Compliance with stormwater regulations is a technical matter that will be reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer, and there are several methods the church’s engineer could choose to control runoff.

A representative of the church will be available to answer questions during the public hearing.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The Zoning Code sets forth standards for Special Uses in Sec. 15.10-5(a)(2). Pertinent standards include the following:

º Off-street parking and loading areas where required or provided, shall be located and designed in a manner which will maximize the items referred to in Paragraph (a) above (including maximizing pedestrian and automotive safety and convenience) and will minimize any adverse economic, noise, glare or odor effects of the special use on adjoining or nearby properties;

º Screening and buffering materials shall be sufficient to insure that the proposed special use will have no greater impact on surrounding land uses than other uses authorized as a matter of right;

º Signs, if any, and proposed exterior lighting shall be located and designed to maximize traffic safety and compatibility and harmony with adjoining or nearby properties and so as to minimize glare, noise and adverse economic impact on surrounding properties or authorized land uses;

º Required yards and open spaces shall be sufficient to insure that the proposed special use will have no greater impact on surrounding land uses than other uses authorized as a matter of right;

º The site on which the special use is located shall be designed to make the proposed use generally compatible with adjoining or nearby properties;

º The special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located and of the entire municipal code, including but not limited to Division 14, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the President and Town Council pursuant to the recommendations of the Zoning Board of Appeals or as allowed for a Planned Unit Development.

Special Use standards specific to churches are set forth in Sec. 15.10-4(F). These standards include building setbacks, height maximum, location adjacent to a major street and similar requirements.

The Special Use standards are intended to ensure that specific uses do not negatively impact surrounding properties. Staff believes the First Assembly of God Master Plan meets these standards.

As with the building addition already approved for Phase II, the new sanctuary will help the church expand its programming and functionality. The proposed sanctuary addition has been designed to complement the existing structure. The outbuilding will be located in the rear of the property at quite a distance from the adjacent residences.

Staff supports the requested parking variance for the same reasons applied to Phase II. First, the church does not have an existing parking problem. Second, staff supports the minimizing of paved areas when possible. Third, the parking requirements for churches, which are put into the “assembly use” category with uses such as restaurants, are under review by staff because the requirements seem excessive. Finally, the peak church use times are fairly infrequent in the course of a week and nearby on-street parking is available.

Staff also supports a variance from the Community Design Standards (CDS). Even with the additional landscaping, the overall church property will still not meet the CDS in regard to the amount of trees and shrubs required on the overall 7.8 +/- acre site. As you know, Town staff has recommended similar variances on several other projects in which the site was developed prior to the adoption of the Community Design Standards code. In these situations, staff works with the property owner to bring the site closer to code compliance where feasible, focusing on the areas most visible to the public and closest to the planned construction area.

In general, Town staff is supportive of the existing “neighborhood” churches in the community seeking to improve their current sites rather than moving to the periphery of the community. Town staff believes that, as with the First Assembly of God project, church expansions can occur in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the neighborhood atmosphere.

The Zoning Board may also consider the “Consistency Review” form provided by the McLean County Regional Planning Commission. The commission reviews all projects 5 acres or larger within the Town, City, or County under the Consistency Review process. The review includes 21 “Minimal Features” that a project must achieve to get a passing grade. Many “Optional Features” are available to raise a project’s grade. First Assembly of God’s master plan received a “C” grade based on the achievement of all minimal features and four optional features. “C” grades are typical for projects that do not have a housing component or a mix of uses.

4. Staff Recommendation:

For the reasons set forth above, staff recommends that the Zoning Board of Appeals forward a positive recommendation on the Amended Special Use request with the following associated variances and conditions to the Town Council for final action:

Variances: 1. Parking variance in for 303 parking spaces rather than 1,578. 2. Community Design Standards application only to the portion of the site being altered

Conditions: 1. Comply with the “significant tree” provisions in the Community Design Standards ordinance 2. Addition of a bike rack 3. Addition of trees along Vernon to meet code requirement

Mr. Mike Cruthers, 561 Heritage Dr., Mackinaw, IL, was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Mr. Cruthers said that Phase II of the plan was approved last month and now they were asking for approval of the Master Plan.

Ms. Davison said that they were asking for a parking variation. They want 303 spaces and the built out master plan would require 1578 spaces. A landscaping variance is also requested to apply Community Design Standards only to the new area being developed. Staff recommends the addition of a bike rack and addition of trees along Vernon to meet code requirements. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MINUTES 2 MAY 21, 2009

Mr. Blakney asked about the drainage to the north. Ms. Davison said that they would have to meet code requirements that were not in place when the site was originally developed. This will be shown in the construction detail.

Mr. Cruthers said that an engineer was working on the site. The proposed berm will be temporary.

Mr. Blakney asked if there would be significant regrading on the east side. Mr. Cruthers said that they would probably go with the lay of the land and they knew that there were some issues to be addressed.

Ms. Brand asked what the timetable was. Mr. Cruthers said that it was 3 to 10 years. The work will be done in phases.

Mr. James Newman, 807 Spear Dr., Normal, IL, was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Mr. Newman said that he had been at the previous meeting. He wanted assurance that the water situation would be improved. Mr. Cruthers said that a berm would be added in this phase and they plan to complete it by this fall. They believe that the berm will resolve most of the water problem. The inlet will also be cut down, which should also help.

Mr. Gary Cimbura, 502 Wittenberg Ct., Normal, IL, was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Mr. Cimbura said that the water from the northwest corner comes into their yards. He asked where the berm would be located. Mr. Cruthers showed the approximate location on the drawing.

Ms. Phyllis Kowerko, 905 Spear Dr., Normal, IL, was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Ms. Kowerko asked about the water drainage. Mr. Cruthers said that the engineering would determine the location. He said that what was done previously was done before the current code. Ms. Kowerko asked about a fence. Mr. Cruthers said that there was no fence around the perimeter.

Mr. Mike Leahy, 907 Spear Dr., Normal, IL was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Mr. Leahy said that he lives at the northeast corner of the property. He said that the water comes off the parking lot and down Grandview to his yard. Mr. Brown said that when adding substantial hard surface, you will have to collect storm water.

Mr. Todd Ziegler, 503 Grandview, Normal, IL, was sworn in by Chairman Schaab. Mr. Ziegler said that the drain in the parking lot may be smaller than it was thought to be. He asked if there was going to be landscaping or a barrier on the east side of the property. He express concerns regarding people parking on Grandview and walking through his property. Ms. Davison said that the plan showed trees but not a barrier along the east side. Mr. Ziegler asked about lighting. Ms. Davison said that there would be no changes to lighting in Phase II.
