REPORT OF THE PLAN COMMISSION (PC 21-05), Text Amendment to Section 26-
5-4.3 and (PC 21-06), Special Use Permit for Axe Throwing Lounge, Wynkoop Holdings,
LLC, Applicant, 216 Peterson Road
President Weppler reported that at the March 15, 2021 meeting, the Plan Commission heard a
request from Wynkoop Holdings, LLC for a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code to allow
Axe Throwing Lounges as a Special Use in the C-3, General Commercial District. A Special
Use Permit was applied for at 216 Peterson Road.
The Plan Commission discussed the proposal in detail with the petitioner and the public. At
the conclusion of the hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend Village
Board of Trustees approval of the amendment. A motion to recommend approval of the Special
Use Permit for 216 Peterson Road passed with a vote of 6 - 0, subject to the condition that all
activities are held within an enclosed building and no outside activities are allowed at the site.
President Weppler then asked for questions and comments. Mr. Steve Martin of Wynkoop
Holdings, LLC and Jason Wright, the petitioner, were available to answer questions.
Trustee Johnson asked why the issue required a Text Amendment, and Director of Community
Development John Spoden that this proposal is not a recognized land use. The use would be
limited to C-3 only. President Weppler asked for clarification of parking, and Mr. Martin
stated that parking is limited to the front of the building.
Trustee Garrity expressed concern with trash and poor landscaping in the rear of the building.
Mr. Martin stated that those were separate issues that had been resolved.

Ms. Angelica Morici, of the Liberty Grove neighborhood, voiced complaints and noted that a
letter had been sent to the Village Board listing complaints. She added that she had spoken
with Mr. Martin to address the issues. She asked for specifics regarding management of the
property and steps to remediate the trash and waste. She also noted concerns with disturbing
noise. She sought a permanent solution to the issues. President Weppler stated that the Village
has a noise ordinance, and the Planning Department can address any trash issues. He added
that Mr. Martin has always been cooperative, and Mr. Martin noted that Groot Recycling and
Waste Management had agreed to rectify the noise. Ms. Morici also noted the noise issue with
deliveries that occur as early as 4:00 a.m. and as late as 10:30 p.m. She thanked the Liberty ville
Police Department for their quick response when called.
President Weppler noted that the concerns were really a separate issue from the zoning request,
and Mr. Martin offered his complete cooperation. Trustee Johnson asked that a condition be
added that trash removal would occur in the morning, and she agreed to work with the
neighbors moving forward.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the Text Amendment to Section 26-5-4.3 (PC 21-05), and

Zoning Code, (PC-21-03), Special Use Permit for a Planned Development, (PC 21-04),

Street

Village actions to allow construction of a seven (7) unit townhome development at 232 Fourth
Street, the current location of Credit Union 1. The Plan Commission held a public hearing on
the following requests on January 25, 2021 and March 15, 2021.
PC 21-01: Zoning Map Amendment. A request to rezone from 0-1, Professional
Services Office District to R-7, Single Family Attached Residential District. A
motion to recommend Village Board of Trustees approval for a Zoning Map
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/April 13, 2021
Page 4
Amendment passed with a vote of 6 - 0 as the request is consistent with the
2030 Comprehensive Plan.
PC 21 -02: Text Amendment. A request to lower the minimum lot required for a Planned
Development from 36,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. The petitioner
noted that although there are other deviations from the Zoning Code, the main
reason to request a Planned Development was to allow for an additional
affordable dwelling unit. The site would allow for six (6) units and the
petitioner is proposing seven (7) units. A motion to recommend Village Board
of Trustees approval for a Text Amendment failed with a vote of 3 - 3.
PC 21-03: Special Use Permit. A motion to recommend Village Board of Tmstees
approval for a Special Use Permit at the site passed with a vote of 5 - 1, with
the dissenter noting a consistency in his vote to recommend denial of the Text
Amendment.
PC 21-04: Planned Development Concept Plan. During the course of the hearing, the
Commission voiced concern over the original proposal that had a single
entrance off of Fourth Street. The petitioner subsequently changed the plan to
add an access to the existing alley. A motion to recommend Village Board of
Trustees approval for a Planned Development Concept Plan passed with a vote
of 4 - 2, subject to the conditions listed in the Report of the Plan Commission.
President Weppler asked for questions and comments. Steven Spinell of 4 Street Broadway
LLC, and Bernard Citron, attorney for the applicant, were present to answer questions. Mr.
Citron provided background on the request. He noted that the seventh unit would be an
attainable unit. President Weppler asked if the seventh unit remaining attainable could be part
of the conditions, and Village Attorney Hart Passman stated that conditions could be added.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the Zoning Map Amendment from 0-1 to R-7 (PC 21-01),

President Weppler noted that on May 14, 2019, the Village Board approved Resolution 19-R-89 to
enter into a contract with the lowest qualified bidder Lakeshore Recycling Systems for the annual
contractual street sweeping services. The contract work included street sweeping of all Village
roadways, following special events in the central business district (CBD) and emergency and
discretionary sweeps on an annual basis.
The contract included language for two one-year renewals with a 3% increase in unit prices. The
contract was initially renewed on April 14, 2020 with the passage of Resolution 20-R-46. Staff
remains satisfied with Lakeshore Recycling Systems responsiveness and performance and
recommended renewal of the contract for the second and final year (Fiscal Year 2021/22). The FY
2021/22 Annual Budget provides $75,000 for contractual street sweeping services in the Stormwater
Fund. The renewed contract work would include six Village-wide sweeps at $ll,266.76/each and a
maximum of fifteen CBD sweeps at $477.40/each. The contract amount will be the available
budgeted funds of $75,000.

ORDINANCE NO. 21-0-19: An Ordinance to Waive Competitive Bidding and Approve
a Contract with Peter Baker & Son Co. for Additional Roadway Resurfacing Work
President Weppler explained that the Village once again participated in a Joint Bid Road
Rehabilitation Program with Mundelein and Vernon Hills in an effort to continue to receive
advantageous competitive unit price bids based upon an "economy of scale" from larger
contract quantities. The Board of Trustees awarded the contract for the 2021 Joint Bid Road
Rehabilitation Program to the low bidder, Peter Baker & Son Co. on March 23, 2021 for the
Village's share of the work in the amount of $694,157.60.
The amount of the contract work is $502,121.40 below the available funds in the FY 2021/22
Annual Budget for road rehabilitation work. The language in the contract does not allow the
Village to add additional streets for resurfacing to take advantage of favorable unit prices. The
contractor, Peter Baker & Son Co., has agreed to hold the favorable unit prices under a separate
contract with the same terms and conditions of the joint bid contract in order to resurface
Fairlawn and Crestfield Avenues between Dymond Ave. to Butterfield Rd. Fairlawn Avenue
is in very poor condition and is scheduled for rehabilitation next year per the Pavement
Assessment Report completed in 2019. Crestfield Avenue is also in very poor condition and
has not been resurfaced since 2004. This segment ofCrestfield Avenue was unfortunately not
included in the Pavement Assessment Report. The total cost to mill and resurface both streets
Lane based upon the competitively bid and favorable unit prices from the Joint Bid Road
Program is $205,000 (rounded). $500,000 is available in the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Annual
Budget in the Project Fund to fund the project.
Staff recommended approval of the Ordinance to waive the competitive bidding process and
enter into a contract with Peter Baker & Son Co. in the amount of $205,000 for additional
roadway resurfacing work on Fairlawn and Crestfield Avenues. A super-majority vote is
required to waive competitive bidding and therefore, five positive votes are required for
approval. President Weppler then asked for questions and comment and there was none.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the ordinance to waive competitive bidding and approve a
contract with Peter Baker & Son Co. for Additional Roadway Resurfacing Work. Trustee
Carey seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was

RESOLUTION NO. 21-R-50: A Resolution to Engineering for the Replacement of the
High School Sanitary Lift
President Weppler noted that the Village operates an existing sanitary lift station that is located
on Village property and abuts the west side of the rear parking lot at Libertyville High School.
The station was constructed in 1973 and is approaching the end of its useful service life. In
addition, the station contains pneumatic ejector pumps in a "dry-tube" that is 19-feet below grade.
This presents confined entry and space concerns for staff during routine inspections and
maintenance work. There is also an emergency natural gas generator on-site to operate the station
in times of electrical outages. Staff desires to convert the existing 8-foot concrete diameter wet-
well to a dry well and house the proposed submersible pumps that can be lifted to surface on rails
for servicing, thus eliminating confined entry and space concerns. This design is similar to the
recently completed US Route 45 and Dawes Street lift stations. Modem pump, electrical and
SCADA controls would also be included in the project.
Staff requested a proposal from the firm of RHMG Engineers, Inc. to complete the final
engineering, coordinate the competitive contractor bidding and provide construction management
services for the replacement of the High School lift station. The submitted proposal was in the
amount of $92,070.00. This included $54,102.00 for design and bidding assistance (final
engineering) and $37,968.00 for construction management. The proposed agreement with
RHMG Engineers, Inc. is in compliance with the provisions of the Local Government
Professional Services Selection Act as the Village has a satisfactory relationship for services
established with RHMG Engineers, Inc. based upon their current and previous related work at
other lift stations and the wastewater treatment plant. The proposal would be included as an
exhibit in the Village's standard professional services agreement.
The Fiscal Year 2021/22 Annual Budget provides $75,000 in the Utility Capital Improvement
Fund to complete the desired final engineering work. The project will not be constructed until
after May 1, 2022. The proposal cost for the construction management services and will be
allocated in the FY 2022/23 Annual Budget.
Staff recommended approval of the resolution to award a professional services agreement to the
firm of RHMG Engineers, Inc. to complete the final engineering and construction oversight for
the replacement of High School lift station in the amount of $92,070.00, subject to the
appropriation of the funds necessary for the construction management in the FY 2022/23 Annual
Budget and authorize execution by the Village Administrator. President Weppler then asked for
any questions or comments and there was none.
Trustee Adams moved to approve the resolution to approve a Professional Services Agreement
with RHMG Engineers, Inc. for Final Engineering for the Replacement of the High School
Sanitary Lift Station. Trustee Garrity seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or

for dispatch services is due to expire April 30,2021, a new five (5) year agreement for dispatch
services was negotiated by staff and will take effect May 1, 2021 if approved.
Staff has been very happy with the services provided by Vemon Hills and Countryside. Staff
continues to work with the Regional 911 group towards the development of a county-wide
dispatch center. Vernon Hills and Countryside are also committed to this process.
The new five (5) year agreement has the following modifications and cost structure difference
from the current agreement:
The term is 5 years with a 6th year option.
The agreement can be terminated at any time if all parties agree to join the Lake County
Regional 911. The agreement may be terminated by the Village, with a 6 month notice,
if the Village decides to join the Lake County Regional 911.
The Village would be allowed to stop Capital payments or redirect unused Capital
payments if the parties join the Lake County regional 911.
Technology language was added to include immediate notification and communication
between the parties in the event of a Cyber-attack in the dispatch center.
Cost:
