Zoning Commission held a public hearing on August 21, 2024 and voted 6-0 in

E. Change Order to Previously Awarded Contract for Buffalo Creek Building A
Flooring Replacement in the Amended Amount Not-to-Exceed $34,636
Summary: The Village Board awarded a contract to NPN Flooring for flooring
replacement at Buffalo Creek Building A on May 20, 2024 in the amount not-
to-exceed $34,196.40. During construction, a moisture test was conducted after
removal of existing floor which found the levels of moisture in the concrete
subfloor to be at a level too high to allow proper bonding of the new flooring to
the concrete. The proposed change order results in a cost increase of $439.60
over the previously awarded amount of $34,196.40 with the final project cost
to be in the amount not-to-exceed $34,636.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.
7. NEW BUSINESS
This agenda item includes matters coming to the Board of Trustees for discussion and
possible action.
A. Ordinance Granting Approval for a Planned Unit Development for OSK
Residential Development Located at 670 South Old Rand Road (Ord. #2024-
09-585) (Trustee Marx)
Summary: Developers at OSK Capital Partners request approval of a Planned
Unit Development, Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat of
Subdivision to develop a new residential community at 670 South Old Road
Road.
This application was originally submitted to the Village in 2022 for
construction of 50 townhouses within 12 buildings but was denied by the
Village Board due to concerns about too high of density, parking, wetlands
disturbance, and structures within the creek area.

OSK Capital Partners has now resubmitted a revised development proposal
consisting of 18 single family homes and 18 townhomes. The Planning and
Zoning Commission considered this revised application at Public Hearings
held on June 19 and July 17, 2024.
At its meeting on July 17, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-
0 to recommend approval of this revised development concept plan
incorporating the conditions for approval provided by staff in its report.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve Ordinance #2024-09-586 Granting
Approval of a Planned Unit Development, Amendment to the Official Zoning
Map, Preliminary Plat, Development Concept Plan, Special Use Permits, and
Modifications to the Zoning and Land Development Code for a Residential
Subdivision at 670 South Old Rand Road.
B. Ordinance Approving an Increase in the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers;
and Municipal Service Occupation Tax (Ord. #2024-09-586) (Mayor Poynton)
Summary: The provided ordinance enacts a 0.5% increase to the Village’s Non-
Home Rule (NHR) Sales Tax, increasing the rate to a total of 1.0%, effective
January 1, 2025. A recent change to state statute now allows non-home rule
municipalities to adopt a local sales tax without requiring referendum
approval. The Village previously adopted a 0.5% NHR sales tax in 2011, which
has funded the Village’s road program since.
The proposed rate increase will generate an additional $2.5 million annually,
which will be used to fund Lake Michigan project-related expenses and debt
service. The revenue from this sales tax will cover one-third of the project’s
costs, reducing the reliance on future water rate increases for utility customers
to fund the project.
Approximately 40% of retail purchases at Lake Zurich establishments that are
subject to sales tax are made by non-residents. Considering this proposed increase
in the NHR sales tax rate, non-residents will contribute approximately 15% of the
cost to bring Lake Michigan water into the Village.
Upon the adoption of this ordinance, staff will prepare an ordinance to reduce the
scheduled Lake Michigan project water rate increases planned for 2025-2028, in
accordance with the previously-discussed project funding strategy.
Recommend Action: A motion to approve Ordinance #2024-09-587 Approving
an Increase in the Village of Lake Zurich Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers’
Occupation Tax and Non-Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation Tax.
