b) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving a Certificate of Correction to the Final Plat of
Subdivision and Minor Amendment to the Final Planned Unit Development for Pod 5 of
03.28.19 VB Meeting 1
the Talamore Subdivision
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that on December 20, 2018, the Village Board approved a minor amendment to the Final Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for Pod 5 to allow construction of the Andaré single-family product and reduction
in certain transition fees. At that time, it was also discussed that Lennar may return at a later date to
request a reduction to the minimum rear yard setback and minimum setback between rear building lines
to allow for sunrooms on the rear of the homes.
As part of the approved Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development for Pod 5, the petitioner was
granted variances from the Huntley Zoning Ordinance lot standard and bulk regulations which were
reflected on the recorded Final Plat of Subdivision and Final PUD Ordinance for Pod 5. The following
table compares the setbacks that were approved as part of the Final Plat/Final PUD and the proposed
modifications.
APPROVED SETBACK PROPOSED SETBACK
Minimum front yard setback 10 feet No change proposed
Minimum rear yard setback 15 feet 5 feet
Total minimum side yard setback 14 feet No change proposed
Minimum side yard setback 5 feet No change proposed
Minimum side yard abutting a street 10 feet No change proposed
Maximum building height 35 feet No change proposed.
Minimum setback between rear building lines 50 feet 40 feet
The reduction to the rear yard setbacks will allow sunrooms to be added to the majority of lots within
Pod 5 while providing no less than 40 feet between the rear of homes. Pod 5 includes greenspace behind
all homes which varies in width throughout the subdivision. In most areas the width of the greenspace
allows the 50-foot setback between the rear of homes even when the rear yard setback is reduced to 5
feet; however, there are six areas (see exhibit) that cannot meet the 50-foot setback when sunrooms are
added to the homes. In these six areas a 40-foot setback would be provided between the rear of the
homes. Staff notes, a 40-foot setback is provided between the rear of homes in Pod 2 where the Andaré
product has also been built.
Plan Commission Recommendation
The Plan Commission reviewed the proposed Certificate of Correction to the Final Plat of Subdivision at
their meeting on Monday, March 25, 2019.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Diversify Residential Development Options” as a goal, and “Pursue
new residential development” as an objective.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Westberg asked if there are any groundwater issues due to amendment. Director Nordman
reported that Staff is working with Lennar regarding sump pump discharge and noted that the utilities
are already installed.
There were no other comments or questions.

c) Conceptual Review of a Proposed Site Plan and Building Elevations for Two (2) Multi-
Tenant Retail Buildings on Lot 8 of Regency Square Subdivision Unit 1 and a Parking
Lot on Lot 9 of Regency Square Subdivision Unit 1
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that the petitioner has submitted conceptual plans for the development of Lots 8 and 9, Regency Square
Subdivision Unit 1 which is zoned “C-2 PDD” Regional Retail – Planned Development District. The
±2.95-acre Lot 8 is located immediately north of Princeton Drive and south of Heartland Bank and is
proposed to be the site of two (2) multi-tenant retail buildings. The ±1.31-acre Lot 9 is located
immediately south of Princeton Drive and is proposed to be used for overflow parking.
Staff Analysis
Any proposed development within Regency Square is subject to the Regency Square Development
Guidelines which provide the standards for site planning, building design, construction, landscaping and
signage. Subject to the Guidelines, each development is required to go through the Site Plan approval
process with the Plan Commission and Village Board.
Site Plan
The proposed site plan for the two multi-tenant buildings on Lot 8 shows two structures in an “L” shape
with a 15-foot wide promenade walkway between them. The total building area is 20,415 square feet.
The tenant spaces on the 7,256 square foot north building face east toward Route 47, with an outdoor
trellis covered patio space located at the northeast corner, creating a bump-out into the parking area.
The tenant spaces on the 13,159 square foot south building face east and south toward Princeton Drive
and Route 47, with the majority of the shops facing south toward Princeton Drive. The south building
also includes a 1,000 square foot upper level to be used for office space. This building includes two
trellis covered outdoor patio spaces, one on the south side and one on the west side. The promenade
walkway offers access between the east and west parking lots on Lot 8. A drive-through is not proposed
with any of the tenant spaces.
The site/building data delineates 129 regular parking spaces and 6 handicap spaces on Lot 8, and 36
regular spaces on Lot 9, totaling 171 spaces. In addition, the petitioner is proposing 26 land banked
spaces for future development. The proposed 171 parking spaces exceed the required 87 parking spaces
(four spaces per 1,000 square feet for retail) for the entire development.
Summary of Required Parking
Bldg. Square Feet Required Parking Proposed Parking
BUILDING 1 – LOT 8 7,256 sf 30
BUILDING 2 – LOT 8 14,159 sf 57 Total 129 regular, 6 handicap on Lot
8
03.28.19 VB Meeting 3
PARKING LOT – LOT 9 0 sf 0 36
TOTAL Provided 21,415 sf 87 171, plus 26 land-banked
A parking lot setback of 100 feet is required from the Route 47 right-of-way. A 40-foot setback is
proposed for both Lot 8 and 9, which is similar (39 feet) to that approved for lots from Beef Shack north
to Starbucks.
The proposed site plan provides parking stalls that are 10 feet in width, which exceeds the 9 feet
required by the Zoning Ordinance. The depths of parking stalls around the perimeter of the parking lot
are 17.5 feet. The Zoning Ordinance allows parking spaces to be reduced to from 19 feet to 17.5 feet if
they are located on the perimeter of the parking lot and if they allow space for vehicles to overhang into
the landscaped area.
The proposed vehicular access to Lot 8 includes a full-access driveway on the existing Princeton Drive
at the south side of the lot, and a full-access driveway on the west side of the lot as Princeton Drive
changes from an east-west to a northerly direction. The single full access curb cut to the Lot 9 parking
lot lines up with the full access point to Lot 8. Internal traffic circulation includes two-way, 26.5 foot-
wide drive aisles throughout, and an 18 foot-wide one-way connection along the north side of the north
building providing counter-clockwise access to the rear parking lot. Delivery access and loading zones
are not addressed in the site plan and should be identified in the formal development application. Per
the Regency Square Guidelines, loading areas shall not be oriented towards Route 47.
Building Elevations
The petitioner has provided elevations for building frontages that would face Route 47 and Princeton
Drive. The proposed buildings range from 21 feet to 24 feet in height and the depths of the tenant
spaces are also varied. The east and south building facades consist of a combination of face brick, stone
veneer with a limestone top cap, composite wood horizontal siding, and prefinished metal and glass.
Wall-mounted decorative sconces are proposed throughout.
Landscaping
The proposed site plan depicts foundation landscaping along the buildings and plantings within the
parking lot islands and bump-outs. Additional landscaping should be provided in the southwest corner
of Lot 9 to increase the buffer between the parking area and the two residential lots to the south. Also,
additional berming and landscaping shall be considered along the Route 47 and Princeton Drive frontage
to provide an adequate screening of the overflow parking lot.
Signage
The conceptual site plan includes a monument sign along the Route 47 landscape buffer of Lot 8,
located 20-feet from the Route 47 right-of-way. The Regency Square Guidelines require ground signs to
be set back 100 feet from Route 47 right-of-way, and relief will be required to allow the 20-foot setback.
Relief granted for the lots for Beef Shack north to Starbucks allowed a 30-foot setback. The requisite
plantings shown around the monument sign base and the conceptual building elevations reflect
prototypical wall signage above each tenant storefront for the two elevations provided. Details regarding
signage including directional and drive-through signs on the site will accompany the formal
development application including any requested relief from the requirements.
Lighting
A lighting plan was not submitted for Concept Review. The Village’s Zoning Code requires parking lot
lighting to have an average minimum illumination of two foot-candles and restrict light levels to 0.5
foot-candles at the property lines. Submittal of the lighting fixture cut-sheets and photometric plan
03.28.19 VB Meeting 4
meeting the requirements will be provided with the formal application for development of the subject
property. Particular attention should be paid to the lighting in the overflow parking area to ensure that
the potential impacts to the residential lots to the south are minimized and should include the use of
house-side shields.
Required Relief
The proposed plans appear to require the relief as currently identified below. Additional relief may be
required for the final site plan.
1. Buildings must be located on separate lots. The site plan proposes two buildings on one lot.
2. A private parking lot, as proposed for Lot 9, is considered an accessory use and must be located on
the same zoning lot. The Lot 9 proposed parking lot, which is not required to meet the parking
requirements for the buildings on Lot 8, would be the principal use on the lot, therefore requiring
relief.
3. A parking lot setback of 100 feet is required from Route 47 right-of-way. A 40-foot setback is
proposed for both Lot 8 and 9, which is similar (39 feet) to that approved for lots from Beef Shack
north to Starbucks.
4. A 40-foot landscaped buffer is required along the southern edge of the Regency Square development
which includes Lot 9. The proposed parking on Lot 9 is setback 5 feet from the south lot line,
therefore requiring 35 feet of relief.
5. Regency Square Guidelines require a 35 feet building-to-building setback. A 15-foot separation is
proposed for the buildings on Lot 8.
6. A parking lot setback of 10 feet is required from the side lot lines. A 4-foot parking setback is
proposed on the north side of Lot 8, and a 5-foot parking setback is proposed on the south side of
Lot 9.
7. A ground sign must be setback 100 feet from Route 47 right-of-way. A setback of 20 feet is
proposed on Lot 8. A 30-foot setback was approved for lots from Beef Shack north to Starbucks.
Legal Analysis
A public hearing will be required by the Plan Commission to consider the elements of relief required by
the final Site Plan.
Courtesy Review
The petitioner has requested the Village Board to conceptually review the proposed plans. The Village
Board is not required to provide a formal position statement on the proposal, and the petitioner shall not
be required to comply with any position statements which are offered. The concept review shall provide
the petitioner with initial comments and concerns that should be considered as they proceed in the
formal review process. The Village Board and its individual members are not bound by any comments
made during the discussion and the petitioner acknowledges that it cannot claim in the future any
reliance whatsoever on those comments.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Attract and Retain Businesses to Enhance Tax Base and Create
New Jobs” as a goal, and “Work with commercial property owners to attract additional restaurants and
shopping opportunities” as an objective.
Director Nordman reported that representatives of the petition were in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
03.28.19 VB Meeting 5
Trustee Westberg asked about the location of trash enclosures and the width of the rear drive aisle.
Architect Larry Farrenkopf of Architects 127 reported that the drive aisle has been increased from 24 to
26.5 feet wide and noted that they added loading space on the west side. Mr. Farrenkopf also noted that
the trash enclosure is going to be on the northwest corner of the property.
Trustee Westberg asked if the parking on the second parcel will be landbanked parking; Director
Nordman stated that the plan includes 36 paved spaces and landbanked space for an additional 26
spaces. Mr. Farrenkopf noted that due to the project being planned as a mixed use; the second lot allows
for additional parking.
Trustee Goldman asked how many possible businesses could be part of the project; Mr. Farrenkopf
stated that if they are small the number could be up to 14. Mr. Farrenkopf also stated that they are not
anticipating any drive-up or drive-through businesses.
Trustee Leopold asked for clarification of why they would like parking on Lot 9. Mr. Farrenkopf stated
that it gives the project flexibility depending on the possible uses. Trustee Leopold stated that it could
then be landbanked parking; Mr. Farrenkopf stated that it would depend on the uses.
Trustee Hoeft asked where snow would be stacked on site. Trustee Westberg noted that the plan calls
for 50 spaces more than are required so there would be space for snow storage.
Trustee Piwko stated that he had concerns with the southern parking lot and safety issues.
There were no other comments or questions.
No action was required as the Village Board was requested to review the proposed conceptual site
plan and building elevations and provide any questions, comments, or concerns for the petitioner to
consider as they proceed in the formal review process.

Village Manager David Johnson reported that the proposed text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
would provide the Village with the option to require a Development Agreement with the landowner for
land zoned in either a Planned Development District (PDD), developed as a Planned Unit Development
or as a Special Use. A Development Agreement is a written agreement recorded against the property
entered into between the Corporate Authorities of the Village and the legal owner of the property subject
to the Development Agreement and its lender evidencing the terms and conditions pertaining to the
development of the property.
A Development Agreement would govern such matters including but not limited to: architecture;
landscaping; lighting; parking including land banking of required parking; covenants governing the
03.28.19 VB Meeting 6
dedication and long term maintenance of open space; timing and sequence on the installation of public
improvements and infrastructure; permitted uses; accessory uses, structures and obstructions; bulk
requirements; impact fees, dedications and contributions; fences; regulations over certain business;
storage areas; maintenance of unimproved sites and condition of unimproved lots; and other matters
pertaining to the use and development of the land.

f) Consideration - Resolution Authorizing a Contract Extension to Globe Construction for
the 2019 Sidewalk Replacement Program
Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the Sidewalk Replacement
program has allowed the Village to concentrate on specific areas throughout the Village not targeted for
repair through resident service requests and/or the MFT Program. The FY2019 Sidewalk Replacement
Program is continuing to evolve in order to manage and address the numerous vertical surface
discontinuities throughout the Village and provide safe pedestrian pathways. The 2019 program will
now include saw cutting of qualifying panels consisting of a maximum of 1.5 inches surface separation.
This will allow the Village to target more areas of repair in a less invasive and cost effective approach
with an approximate 50% reduction in cost per panel.
On March 15, 2018 the Village of Cary received bids from six contractors for the Municipal Partnering
Initiative (MPI) Sidewalk and Curb Replacement Program. The MPI is a municipality-based buying
initiative where communities join forces to procure a wide range of public services in an effort to tap
economies of scale. The Village of Cary was the lead MPI community for this project and prepared the
necessary contract bid documents. The other three participating communities included the Villages of
Huntley and Fox River Grove, and the City of Woodstock. The bid included contract extensions for
2019 and 2020.
The bid results for Year 1 (2018) using the quantities from all four participating municipalities are
summarized as follows:
Globe Construction $109,541.30
Upland Construction & Maintenance, LLC $120,483.10
03.28.19 VB Meeting 8
RAI Concrete, INC. $141,814.50
Schroeder & Schroeder, INC. $155,616.50
Strada Construction, CO. $164,406.32
Alliance Contractors, INC. $269,862.00
Staff Analysis
The 2019 program will consist of sidewalk removal and replacement and saw cutting identified in the
target areas below:
• Various locations along Church Street
• Various locations in Sun City
The project costs and unit pricing have been reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Department
staff. All is in order to renew the contract for the Sidewalk Replacement Program to Globe Construction
from Addison, IL.
Financial Impact
The FY2019 Budget includes $75,000 in the Streets Improvements and Roads & Bridges Fund, line item
420-00-00-8001 for the Sidewalk Replacement Program. Sixty thousand ($60,000) is reserved for
Sidewalk Replacement and $15,000 is reserved for 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement.
Legal Analysis
The MPI contract extension meets bidding requirements.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Leopold noted that in the past the sidewalk forms were left in place for several days and asked
that they be removed and the area repaired in a timely basis.
Trustee Westberg asked what the ramps were between the sidewalks; Director Farrell noted that at the
corners they are ADA ramps so that people can detect when they are coming to the corner.
There were no other comments or questions.
A MOTION was made to approve a Resolution Authorizing the Contract Extension to Globe
Construction for the 2019 Sidewalk Replacement Program.

g) Consideration - Resolution Authorizing a Contract Extension to JA Johnson Paving
Company for the 2019 Edge Mill and Overlay Program
Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the Edge Mill and Overlay
Program has allowed the Village to concentrate on other road improvement areas within the Village not
targeted for repair through the MFT Program. In 2018, the Village targeted NH 16 in Sun City where the
roadways were edge milled 1.5” at the curb line to address areas of rutting and 0” at the centerline,
which created additional crown for improved drainage and greater structural integrity. In 2019, the
03.28.19 VB Meeting 9
Village is targeting NH 15 in Sun City (Big Horn Drive, Summerview Drive, Morning Glory Lane, and
Primrose Court) and Automall Drive. The addition of Automall Drive was not originally included in the
Street Improvement Program for FY2019 and the additional cost will be absorbed with the surplus of
budgeted funds from the favorable MFT bids.
On March 9, 2017, the Village of Round Lake Beach received bids from three (3) contractors for the
Municipal Partnering Initiative (MPI) Pavement Patching Program. The MPI is a municipality-based
buying initiative where communities join forces to procure a wide range of public services in an effort to
tap economies of scale. The Village of Round Lake Beach was the lead MPI entity for this project and
prepared the necessary contract bid documents. The other eight (8) participating communities included
the Villages of Huntley, Cary, Fox River Grove, Grayslake, Lakemoor, and Lake Zurich, and the Cities
of Crystal Lake, and Woodstock. The municipalities reserved the right to renew this contract for up to
two additional one-year periods with 2019 being the third (3rd) and final year.
The bid results for Pavement Patching (2017) using the quantities from all nine (9) participating
municipalities are summarized as follows:
J.A. Johnson Paving Company $439,274.34
Chicagoland Paving Contractors, Inc. $491,963.00
Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. $559,069.75
Staff Analysis
The edge mill and overlay projects are examples of a progressive approach by the Village that
demonstrates the commitment to finding alternative and effective pavement management solutions while
stretching available dollars and expanding the Street Improvement Program throughout the Village. The
unit pricing and project cost of $169,170.00 has been reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering
Department staff. All is in order to renew the contract for the Edge Mill Overlay to JA Johnson Paving
Company.
Financial Impact
The FY2019 Budget includes $75,000 for the Edge Mill & Overlay and $191,220.25 surplus of funds
available as a result of the favorable Georgian Place Subdivision Street Improvements bid in the Streets
Improvements and Roads & Bridges Fund, line item 420-00-00-8001.

h) Consideration – Resolution Approving the Purchase of Road Rock Salt from Cargill Inc.
Salt Division through the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services
(CMS) Joint Purchasing Procurement Program
03.28.19 VB Meeting 10
Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the Village has received
notification from the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) for the 2019-2020 rock salt
joint purchasing contract. The Village’s existing contract with CMS, BidBuy CMS Contract #18-
416CMS-BOSS4-P-4129, contains a renewal option. If the Village chooses to continue purchasing rock
salt though the CMS contract, commitment in writing is required by the April 1, 2019 deadline.
Staff Analysis
The Village routinely purchases rock salt through the State of Illinois CMS Joint Purchasing Program.
On an annual basis, CMS competitively bids rock salt purchases that secure more effective pricing than
agencies individually purchasing rock salt on the open market due to economies of scale. The Village
typically orders 2,000 to 2,500 tons of salt for seasonal road deicing applications. However, over 3,000
tons was consumed during the 2018/2019 winter given the extreme snow and ice season experienced. It
is estimated that 3,000 tons will be necessary to replenish low salt stockpiles and be prepared for the
2019/2020 season.
The contract from the CMS joint bid is with Cargill Inc. Salt Division at a bid price in the amount of
$68.55 per ton. The renewal option requires the same unit price with a maximum 10% increase.
Therefore, the final unit price for renewal would range from $68.55 to $75.40 per ton. With a Village
commitment of 3,000 tons of rock salt, at a maximum $75.40 per ton, the cost would be approximately
$226,200. The Village may elect to not renew the contract and rebid the salt purchase. However, given
the extreme 2018/2019, the unit price may potentially increase even more in a rebid situation.
The State of Illinois has established a very short response timeline for those who choose to participate in
the Joint Purchasing program for rock salt. As such, a decision is necessary as the signed contract must
be returned to CMS by the April 1, 2019, deadline.
Financial Impact
Funds will need to be earmarked as part of the FY2020 budget process. It is estimated that up to
$275,000 will be required in the General Fund, line item 100-60-61-7215 for snow and ice materials.
Legal Analysis
The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) Joint Purchasing Procurement
Program meets bid requirements.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.

i) Consideration - A Resolution Authorizing the Lease to Own Purchase of a 2019 John
Deere 410 Backhoe Loader from Westside Tractor Sales Co. through the Sourcewell
Joint Purchasing Cooperative Contract 032515-JDC
Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the FY2019 budget includes
03.28.19 VB Meeting 11
funding for the lease-to-own purchase of a new 2019 John Deere (JD) 410 backhoe loader. This vehicle
will replace Vehicle 1915, JD 310 SE backhoe loader that has reached the end of its useful life.
Staff Analysis
The current 2000 JD 310 SE backhoe loader is showing signs of rust and rot as well as excessive wear
and tear on all of the pivot joints and control linkages from nearly nineteen years of normal construction
operation. The backhoe loader is essential to the function of Public Works as it is utilized for general
loading and excavation operations on concrete and asphalt projects as well as repairing underground
utilities including water main, sanitary and storm sewer.
Staff has received a proposal for the purchase of a 2019 JD 410 backhoe loader from Westside Tractor
Sales Co. through the Source well (formerly NJPA) purchasing service cooperative. List price on the
machine is $190,441.00. Discounts include a 44% Source well (NJPA) discount of $83,794.04 and the
trade-in of the current JD backhoe loader valued at $18,000. After the discounts and miscellaneous
charges such as the inspection, destination, freight delivery and documentation fees, the machine will
cost $91,666.96. West Side Tractor Sales offers a lease-to-own option that would spread the purchase
price over 5 years at 5.75% interest rate resulting in an estimated annual payment of $20,494.43.
Financial Impact
The FY2019 Budget includes funding in the Wastewater Capital Improvement and Equipment Fund
525-00-00-8134 for the lease-to-own purchase of the JD 410 backhoe loader.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Leopold asked if it wouldn’t be better to make the purchase outright; Village Manager Johnson
stated that it is more efficient to lease to own this equipment.
There were no other comments or questions.
