Code (Assign Ord. #2021-09-430)
Summary: The proposed Ordinance updates a section of the Village Code to
provide consistency with State of Illinois statutes and eliminates decades-old
language that is irrelevant or unnecessary. This Ordinance eliminates the Office
of the Collector and transfers all Collector duties to the Village Treasurer. This
Ordinance also eliminates language in the Code that is not required to be codified,
such as the Village investment policy and designated banks or depositories to be
used.

A. Ordinance Amending the Lake Zurich Zoning Code and Approving a Special Use
Permit for Journey Cremations at 495 Enterprise Parkway (Assign Ord. #2021-
09-431) (Trustee Bobrowski)
Summary: Journey Cremations has filed a zoning application for 495 Enterprise
Parkway seeking a Zoning Code text amendment to allow direct cremations as a
Special Use within the I – Industrial Zoning District and a Special Use Permit to
establish a Direct Crematorium at the subject property.
Direct cremation takes place when the decreased is taken directly into the care
of the crematorium without any visitation or funeral service. Upon completion
of the cremation process, the remains are either delivered by the company or
returned via USPS mailing protocol back to the source such as a funeral home
or directly to the family members.
The subject property at 495 Enterprise Parkway comprises two lots – Lots 7 and
8 of Midlothian Court Subdivision and is located within the I – Industrial Zoning
District. A large part of the property contains Lake County wetland areas which
will continue to remain as is.
3
The Applicant proposes to construct a new approximately 2,400 square-foot
masonry clad building on the buildable portion of Lot 8 with an accompanying
driveway and parking lot.
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) held a public hearing on August 18,
2021 to consider this application and voted 6-0 in favor of recommending approval
of the Text Amendment and Special Use Permit to allow for the direct cremation
facility. Conditions for approval initially recommended by staff were modified by
the PZC to allow the facility to be established on any buildable portion of the
subject property.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve Ordinance #2021-09-431 Amending
the Lake Zurich Zoning Code and Approving a Special Use Permit for Journey
Cremations at 495 Enterprise Parkway.
B. Agreement with Landworks Limited for Open Space Land Acquisitions and
Development Grant Project Construction for Paulus Park Enhancements in the
Amount Not-To-Exceed $774,776.01 with a Total Project Budget Not-to-Exceed
$936,524.01 (Trustee Weider)
Summary: The 2021 Village’s budget includes $400,000 in the Capital Fund for
Paulus Park enhancements as part of the State of Illinois Open Space Land
Acquisitions and Development (OSLAD) grant the Village secured in 2020.
The $400,000 50 / 50 matching grant was awarded for shoreline restoration on
the south end of Paulus Park, the addition of a woodland trail and picnic shelter
with storage at the north end of the property, the installation of a non-motorized
boat launch, a new ADA accessible fishing pier, placement of the existing park
stage, and additional park landscaping. The approved grant projects must be
fully completed by August 2022.
In December 2020, Hitchcock Design Group was hired to provide design
development, construction documents, permitting, bidding and construction
administration for the planned park improvements. A competitive bid opening
occurred on July 22, 2021 for the grant enhancements, with six bids received. The
most competitive bid of $774,776.01 was submitted by Landworks Limited of
Bolingbrook.
However, due to the current economic climate and the accompanying labor and
material costs, the lowest bid results in an increased total project cost of $936,524
after accounting for construction, design and engineering, contingency and
interpretive signage. To compensate, Staff identified $95,000 in project elements
that are eligible for Special Recreation Association (SRA) funding. As sales taxes
continue to come in better than anticipated, Staff also recommend to cover the
remaining project shortfall, estimated to be $41,524.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve an agreement with Landworks
Limited for Open Space Land Acquisitions and Development Grant Project
Construction for Paulus Park Enhancements in the Amount Not-To-Exceed
$774,776.01 with a Total Project Budget Not-to-Exceed $936,524.01.

C. Agreement with Manhard Engineering for Design and Engineering Services
Related to Public Improvements on Block A, Mionske Road, and Lake Street in
the Amount Not-to-Exceed $95,000 (Trustee Spacone)
Summary: As the Village strives for a viable redevelopment opportunity on Block
A, localized infrastructure that serves the Block A site and adjacent residential
areas on Mionske Road and Lake Street require improvements. Most of the
nearby water and sewer infrastructure was constructed in the early 1940’s and
does not meet present day design standards.
The Village’s 2021 budget includes $200,000 for infrastructure improvements
within the TIF District #2. The Village’s engineering consultant, Manhard
Engineering, provided a proposal for design services in connection with water,
sewer, and stormwater management public improvements in this area around
Block A, as well as roadway resurfacing.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve an agreement with Manhard
Engineering for Design and Engineering Services Related to Public
Improvements on Block A, Mionske Road, and Lake Street in the Amount Not-to-
Exceed $95,000.
D. Agreement with Manhard Engineering for Design and Engineering Services
Related to Public Improvements on South Old Rand Road in the Amount Not-to-
Exceed $103,000 (Trustee Spacone)
Summary: In order to achieve successful redevelopment of the South Old Rand
Road business corridor, certain public infrastructure improvements are necessary
to meet modern day design standards. Most of the nearby water and sewer
infrastructure was constructed in the early 1940’s and does not meet present day
design standards.
The Village’s 2021 budget includes $200,000 for infrastructure improvements
within the TIF District #2. The Village’s engineering consultant, Manhard
Engineering, provided a proposal for design services in connection with water,
sewer, and stormwater management public improvements along South Old Rand
Road from Main Street to just north of the CN rail crossing. The scope of work
includes design of the water and sewer improvements as well as streetscape such
as sidewalks and curbs and roadway resurfacing.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve an agreement with Manhard
