PUBLIC COMMENTARY

program and what they do. Lake County Center for Independent Living, serving
Lake and McHenry counties, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, disability rights
organization. We exist to ensure that all people with disabilities have the tools
they need to live independently. Governed and staffed by a majority of people
with disabilities, we are a consumer-controlled organization, which means the
services we provide are those chosen by our consumers. To learn more, visit their
website at https://www.lccil.org/.
• Alay Shah - Quick Pick Liquor Owner - 635 North Midlothian Road - Mr. Shah would
like to have video gaming at his establishment.
• Mohammad Alawsi - President of several Homeowner Associations in Mundelein
and surrounding communities. He has concerns about rental registration. The
Village of Mundelein is the only village that has a rental registration. It is very
expensive, who is going to pay this? The website for Rental Registration is difficult
to follow.

Presentation: Bird City Illinois
Audubon Society talked about Bird City Illinois. The mission of Audubon Council of

environmental legislation emphasizing conservation of State natural resources, in
sponsoring environmental educational initiatives that transcend Chapter boundaries, in
enhancing inter-Chapter relationships, and in fostering awareness of Audubon Council’s
activities. The Bird City Mission is to encourage all communities in Illinois to implement
sound bird-conservation practices by offering public recognition to those that succeed
in enhancing the environment for birds and educating the public about the relationship
between birds and people and how that contributes to a healthy community.

Liquor License Letter of Interest - 440 East Hawley
The Petitioner presented his concept. He has been in business for over 25 years. He is
interested in having an upscale restaurant/bar with coffees and video gaming (besides
serving alcohol). It would be a cocktail bar/gaming facility serving food. They would use
the rooftop (if they could get it as part of their lease) for tasting events, entertainment
events, solo jazz, etc. Mayor Meier interjected that a full kitchen would be necessary
for video-gaming, Petitioner asked what that would consist of. Administrator Guenther
explained what that would entail. Trustee Lambert asked why there was no food
revenue listed in Petitioner's business plan/packet; Ms. Lambert said she had a hard
time reconciling petitioner wanting to open a restaurant without listing any food
revenue. Petitioner responded that they were not sure about food revenue. Trustee
Schwenk asked if this concept would work without gaming. Trustee Juarez echoed the
same questions and said he would like to see a better plan first as did Trustee Ugaste.
Trustee Krinski questioned the noise issue if there would be music since there is a
residential area close-by. Mr. Schwenk weighed in that this would parallel another one
of petitioner's businesses in Round Lake--he checked out that business on-line, he said
this looks very much like a gaming lounge that the Board has worked very hard to keep
out of the Village. Also he stated that during his time on the Board he has never voted
for video-gaming. He will vote to give the Petitioners an alcohol license and see how
that goes. Trustee Grieco said she likes the idea of a coffee place; she lives in that area
and it needs a coffee spot.
Mayor Meier said that the Board is fine with giving a liquor license to the petitioner if
all requirements for one are met. Ms. Lambert made it very clear, when the petitioner
questioned the gaming issue, that a full kitchen is required for a gaming license.
Petitioner responded by saying there doesn't appear to be enough space for a full
kitchen. Ms. Lambert replied then maybe this is not the right location for your business.
This was reiterated by the Mayor. Mayor Meier clarified again what was necessary for
both an alcohol license and a gaming license; Petitioner was giving the application
paperwork packet for a liquor license.
Liquor License Letter of Interest - 1080 West Maple Avenue
Petitioner owns the gas station located at 1080 W. Maple Ave. Nowadays people like
one-stop shopping and the petitioner would like to create this here. At their other
locations, they have restaurants at the other sites--wings places, Dunkin', Mexican
places, etc. There are upcoming changes coming to gas stations in Illinois which will be
costly, and it's necessary to be able to have the revenues to cover $300,000 cost.
Selling hard liquor would help this. Trustee Lambert pointed out that there is a fully
built-out location about a block away (the former Lucky Bites) and when they came
before the Board years ago, they also wanted gaming and alcohol but because this site
was so close to the High School she was a firm no. Trustee Schwenk stated that based
on what he has heard tonight it appears that gaming is the ultimate goal. Mayor Meier
Page 6 of 321
asked the petitioner if the liquor license was necessary for them to move forward. The
straw poll came in as mostly negative to the liquor license.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Call to order the Public Hearing on the Property Tax Levy.
Presentation and Board Discussion

there is a new extension request of September 30, 2026. Mayor Meier stated that this

Trustee Ugaste pointed out that it is difficult to raise these fees at the present time
since collecting them now is difficult. Trustee Juarez agreed and feels getting the EDC
involved with these decisions and does not feel it is a good time to raise these fees and
where does these fees go? Administrator Guenther said it goes to a general fund that is
used to reimburse the actual time it takes to collect/process these fees. Trustee
Schwenk researched the archives back to 2019 and this was the issue then when the
dollar amount was going from $25 to $35. Trustee Krinski added asking what efforts are
made to collect these delinquent fees and maybe if everyone paid what they owed the
increase would not be necessary. Mayor Meier explained what these fees fund--we do
not charge anyone to be put in the dining guide nor charge businesses to be part of
events that give good visibility to them; we give free marketing with the ribbon-
cuttings, as an example. We give grants, even to businesses that do not pay this fee.

Mayor Meier made a statement concerning the leaf pickup: we have had a hard time
this year with the Groot Leaf Pickup. The leaves dropped late and then the heavy snow
came. Groot has said they will be picking up leaves when the snow is gone and the piles
melt but it will take weeks to get through the whole Village and with how the weather
is going so this may take some time; the Mayor remembers leaves being picked up in
her area in February years ago.

For: Village Board Meeting of January 12, 2026

Financial Impact:
The license will be subject to a $2,500 liquor license fee to be established in the Village Fee Schedule.
This is the same fee assessed for banquet service establishments.
Attachments:
None
Background:
The Mundelein Park and Recreation District has submitted a formal request for a liquor license for
the sale of alcoholic beverages at Diamond Lake Recreation Center, located at 1016 North Diamond
Lake Road. This request was initiated via a letter dated July 25, 2025. On September 24, 2025, after
board consensus, the Park District was advised to move forward with the application process.
To accommodate this request and issue a license, staff recommends the creation of a new Class P
liquor license classification. This classification would be tailored to allow limited alcohol sales by a
park district entity under specific conditions.
The proposed ordinance would amend the Village Code to establish a Class P liquor license, specific
to Park District Operations, which would:
• Authorize the sale and service of beer and wine during regular operations.
• Permit full-service bar operations (beer, wine, and spirits) during approved private rental
events.
• Limit alcohol service to controlled areas during scheduled events or programs.
• Require wristband identification for all patrons purchasing alcohol during general public use.
• Prohibit outside alcohol and outside vendors unless otherwise licensed.
• Require any employee overseeing alcohol sales or service must be the age of 21 or older.
• Prohibit video gaming on the premises.
• Require compliance with all applicable state and local liquor laws.
Page 15 of 321
Recommendation:
Motion to approve an ordinance amending Chapter 5.76 and Chapter 3.80 creating a new Class P liquor
license classification, establishing a corresponding fee, and authorizing the issuance of one (1) Class P
license to the Mundelein Park and Recreation District for use at Diamond Lake Recreation Center.

1. O-26-01-03 - Exhibit A - Redlined Sections 2.04.035 and 2.04.070
Background:
As part of the ongoing efforts to ensure consistency and clarity in the Municipal Code, staff
recommends updating the Code to reflect current legal requirements and long-standing practices
regarding the scheduling of meetings on election days and holidays, as well as to streamline the
order of business for Village Board meetings.
Section 2.04.035 previously prohibited regular meetings of the Mayor and Board of Trustees from
being held on legal holidays, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. However, regular meetings have
historically been held on some legal holidays when the Village is not closed, therefore this restriction
is no longer consistent with practice. Additionally, recent changes to Illinois law prohibit public
meetings on election days. The revised ordinance removes the outdated restriction on regular
meetings held on holidays to align with Village holidays instead, prohibits special meetings on legal
holidays, and prohibits all meetings on election days in accordance with the Illinois Open Meetings
Act.
Section 2.04.070 removes item (10), “Village staff reports,” from the formal order of business. In
practice, the Village Administrator, Attorney, and Clerk have not historically provided formal reports
during board meetings. If a report is ever needed, it can be offered during discussion of specific
agenda items or under “Other Business.” Removing this item aligns the code with actual meeting
procedures and avoids confusion about expectations of staff and the public. Additionally, the final
sentence of the section — allowing the Mayor to modify the agenda only with the concurrence of a
majority of trustees — has been removed. This change reflects long-standing practice: the Mayor has
historically managed the meeting agenda without requiring a formal vote of concurrence. The
Page 25 of 321
Mayor’s role as presiding officer already provides the authority to adjust the order of business as
needed, and this amendment simply codifies that consistent practice.
Tracked changes of the two code sections can be found in Exhibit A.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Sections 2.04.035 and 2.04.070 of the Mundelein Municipal
Code to ensure compliance with state law and alignment with current Village practices.

Attachments:
1. R-26-01-01 - Exhibit A - Agreement and Proposal - Housing Study
Background:
The Village desires to enter into a professional services agreement with entities that conduct housing market
studies. The Village desires to review the housing market as there has been changes over the last 10 years.
The Village experienced growth of 961 multi-family housing units in the Downtown/TOD area (242 of the 961
currently under construction), in addition to 1,720 townhomes, single-family, and apartments outside of
Downtown/TOD since 2005). There are still great opportunity sites downtown, such as the Bank Triangle.
However, developers are asking if we have any market studies to show if the area supports more housing and
what type. The Village also has a proposal for 3,157 housing units over a 25+ year timeline from Wirtz Realty
for a mixed-use TND on the western edge of the Village. Lake County completed a housing study in 2023 by
Valerie Kretchmer & Associates; however, she is now retired. After receiving recommendations and engaging
in conversations with Development Planning Partners and Goodman Williams Group, staff recommends
entering into a professional services agreement for an amount not to exceed $33,750. The estimated time of
completion is around April 2026. This item was not specifically contemplated for the FY2026 Budget. If all
projects are initiated as anticipated, this may result in the Community Development Consulting Services
Account exceeding the budget by approximately $10,000. However, this study is important to the continued
downtown redevelopment efforts and understanding of Village's market positioning.
Recommendation:
Motion to adopt a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Village Administrator's Signature on a
Professional Services Agreement and approving purchase order number 26-00758 and payment in an
amount not to exceed $33,750 for a Housing Market Study with Development Planning Partners and
Goodman Williams Group.

RE: Proposal for Housing Market Study
Dear Ms. Orenchuk:
Development Planning Partners (DPP), together with Goodman Williams Group (GWG)
appreciate the opportunity to assist the Village of Mundelein in preparing a comprehensive
housing market study that will guide future development decisions and support the Village’s
ongoing revitalization efforts—particularly within its downtown and transit-oriented districts.
Mundelein has experienced remarkable residential growth over the past two decades, and the
Village’s remaining opportunity sites present a critical moment to plan for continued, balanced
investment. We understand that developers have already begun asking important questions
about the market capacity for additional housing, which underscores the need for a data-driven
evaluation.
Our team will bring a deep understanding of regional housing dynamics, significant experience
working in Lake County, and a long track record of helping municipalities and developers align
local objectives with market realities.
Thank you for your consideration. We are enthusiastic about assisting Mundelein at this
strategic moment.
Sincerely,
Zach Lowe

PROJECT PROPOSAL
Project Understanding &
Objectives
A Village experiencing sustained growth.
Mundelein has drawn a significant level of residential investment over the past twenty
years, adding
961 multi-family units in the Downtown/TOD area (including 242 currently under
construction)
1,720 townhomes, single-family homes, and apartments elsewhere in the Village
This scale of development reflects a strong and evolving market—one aligned with the
Village’s Strategic Plan focus on managed, balanced growth and a robust downtown.
At the same time, future proposals—such as Wirtz Realty’s concept for 3,157 mixed-use
TND units over the next 25+ years—demonstrate the importance of obtaining an updated,
independent evaluation of real market capacity.
The Purpose of the Housing Market Study
The study will provide the Village with key insights, including
A full assessment of current housing conditions
An analysis of market demand for new housing types
Insight into attainability and workforce alignment
A forecast of housing demand over the next decade
A detailed evaluation of downtown opportunity sites
This document will also serve as a developer-facing resource that helps answer the market
questions the Village is increasingly receiving.
Alignment with Planning Efforts
Mundelein already has a community planning foundation, having recently undertaken
several important planning project. The study Housing Market Study will build upon and
reinforce the goals established in the Village’s prior planning efforts. These include

PROJECT PROPOSAL
Project Approach
Our approach will emphasize technical rigor, local insight, and clear, actionable guidance.
The project will unfold as follows:
A. Project Launch and Data Coordination
We will begin by confirming project goals with Village representatives, reviewing existing
plans, gathering additional Village data, and establishing communication protocols. We will
respectfully rely on the Village to share datasets not available through public sources (e.g.,
GIS layers, local permit data, infrastructure capacity reports, etc.).
B. Market Fundamentals Analysis
We will prepare a comprehensive update of demographic and economic conditions to
establish the foundation for evaluating housing needs and projecting demand. This will
include population trends, household characteristics, income distribution, resident age
profile trends, local labor market conditions, and other economic drivers.
C. Housing Supply and Development Pipeline Assessment
We will evaluate the Village’s full spectrum of housing stock, including occupancy, pricing,
absorption, competitive positioning, new construction, and known proposals. Comparisons
with nearby communities will provide context.
D. Stakeholder Engagement
We will conduct interviews with developers, brokers, Village staff, and other market
participants to gather qualitative insights that complement the market data. GWG will take
the lead on these engagements.
E. Housing Needs, Attainability, and Workforce Alignment
We will analyze how well the current housing stock meets local needs and workforce
profiles, focusing on housing “attainability” rather than traditional affordability analysis.
F. Ten-Year Housing Demand Forecast
We will prepare a transparent, defensible forecast segmented by major housing product
types, price/rent bands, and key market segments.
Housing Market Study - Mundelein, IL 10

PROJECT PROPOSAL
G. Downtown Opportunity Site Evaluation
We will provide a focused analysis of remaining downtown/TOD opportunity sites,
assessing likely product types, achievable rents and/or sale prices, and anticipated
absorption.
H. Recommendations and Implementation Strategy
We will develop clear, actionable recommendations aligned with Village goals and ongoing
planning work, supporting both near-term decision-making and long-term policy direction.

The following scope outlines the tasks required to complete the comprehensive Housing
Market Study for the Village of Mundelein. Each task area encompasses a number of key
subtasks. The proposed scope will ensure that analysis, qualitative insight, and actionable
guidance are integrated into an efficient, cohesive project workflow.
Task
1
PROJECT MANAGEMENT + KICKOFF
This initial task will establish expectations, responsibilities, and communication
protocols, ensuring a smooth and coordinated project. We will begin by aligning

professionals who understand the local housing market firsthand. In coordination
with the Village, we will identify and interview key developers, brokers, community
officials, and other stakeholders who can speak to prevailing trends, opportunities,
and barriers. GWG will lead this task, working closely with DPP to integrate
interview findings into the broader study.
4.1: Develop a stakeholder list and outreach protocol
4.2: Conduct interviews with developers, brokers, real estate professionals, and
Village officials

Housing Market Analysis & Demand Study
Client: Village of Deerfield, IL
In 2024, Development Planning Partners (DPP) and Goodman Williams
Group (GWG) were retained to complete a focused Housing Demand
Study for the Village of Deerfield, Illinois. This project involved
evaluating current housing conditions, demographic trends, and the
community’s near-term development potential. A central component of
the work was Deerfield’s interest in key redevelopment sites—
particularly large, underutilized corporate and commercial properties
where new residential uses could support broader community goals.
The study assessed several strategic opportunity areas, including
portions of the Walgreens campus, Parkway North Center, Deerbrook
Mall, and other legacy office properties. For each, the team evaluated
market positioning, redevelopment constraints, and the most
appropriate housing formats—rental apartments, townhomes, attached
for-sale products, senior housing, or mixed-density configurations.
Beyond site evaluation, the study examined housing conditions across
the broader Competitive Market Area (Deerfield, Northbrook, and
Highland Park). Despite strong incomes, schools, and quality of life,
the region faces long-standing supply shortages: Deerfield’s occupancy
rate is 98%, for sale inventory is well below balanced levels, and half of
all homes in the Village were built before 1970. These dynamics,
paired with rising demand from young households and downsizing
empty nesters, point to clear opportunities for new, diverse housing
options.
Grounded in demographic and market forecasting, the team projected
approximately 1,200 new units of demand over five years CMA-wide,
with Deerfield positioned to capture nearly 600 units based on its
strong market fundamentals and the availability of redevelopment-
ready sites. The study also identified significant unmet needs in
affordable housing and senior living, underscoring the importance of
incorporating these segments into future planning.
Overall, the Housing Demand Study provided Deerfield with a concise,
data-driven roadmap for guiding reinvestment, aligning redevelopment
sites with realistic market opportunities, and supporting long-term
housing and economic vitality.

Market Analysis & Downtown Development Strategy
Client: Village of Westmont, IL
The Village of Westmont engaged Development Planning Partners (DPP)
and Goodman Williams Group (GWG) to conduct a comprehensive
market analysis of residential and commercial conditions, with a focus
on identifying strategies to strengthen the Village’s downtown core and
commercial corridors. While the study encompassed all neighborhoods and
business districts, particular attention was given to Downtown
Westmont, where reinvestment momentum had been limited despite
strong locational assets—including a Metra commuter rail station, a
walkable environment, an established TIF district, and recent infrastructure
and streetscape improvements.
The analysis evaluated existing housing supply, demographic trends, retail
leakage, and development patterns to identify key opportunities for new
residential and commercial investment. The study highlighted opportunities to
attract locally scaled retail, dining, and mixed-use residential development that
could reinforce Downtown’s emerging identity as a regional destination for
arts, food, and culture.
A central component of the assignment involved site-specific planning
guidance for two priority parcels adjacent to the Metra station, envisioned as a
signature gateway to Downtown. DPP prepared detailed recommendations
illustrating the redevelopment potential of an existing parking lot for a mixed-
use residential and commercial project, alongside strategies for adaptive reuse
of a nearby historic structure. These recommendations were packaged as
investor-ready materials to support the Village’s outreach to developers,
property owners, and prospective partners.
The resulting strategy provided Westmont with a clear, market-supported path
forward—linking its physical assets and community character to tangible
development opportunities capable of attracting new investment and
sustaining the Village’s long-term economic vitality.

Oak Forest Hospital Campus Redevelopment Demand Study
Client: Cook County, IL
In early 2025, Development Planning Partners (DPP) was retained as part of the
planning team for the redevelopment of Cook County’s Oak Forest Hospital
Campus. With the planning effort already underway, the team recognized the
need for a rigorous, data-driven analysis of market conditions and demand
characteristics to ensure that the resulting plan would reflect market realities.
While DPP was tasked with evaluating all market sectors—including residential,
commercial/retail, and light industrial—the primary focus of the assignment
was on housing conditions.
DPP conducted a detailed analysis of housing conditions within a six-
community primary market area that featured a diverse range of demographic
and socioeconomic conditions, including both low- and high-income
neighborhoods, a significant presence of older households, and areas catering
to young families and singles.
At the core of its approach, DPP applied a robust methodological framework to
assess housing balance throughout the market area. This included assessing
housing supply throughout the defined market area, evaluating housing needs
and levels of cost burden, and forecasting demand by defined market
segments through both quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Leveraging its expertise in data-driven housing gap analysis, DPP identified and
quantified unmet needs across both market-rate and affordable housing
sectors, addressing requirements for both ownership and rental units.
As planning for the redevelopment progresses, DPP’s Demand Study will
continue to inform decision-making for both the project team and Cook
County. The study will help ensure that the final development effectively
addresses current and future housing needs and becomes a key component of
sustainable growth in the area.

Housing & Economic Recovery Plan
Client: City of Effingham, IL | Adopted: 2024
Facing economic stagnation tied to offshoring, workforce outmigration, and a
housing shortage of crisis proportions, the City of Effingham engaged
Development Planning Partners (DPP) and project partner 1861 Group to lead
a comprehensive initiative linking housing and economic revitalization. The
resulting Housing & Economic Recovery Plan provides a coordinated strategy to
expand development capacity, attract private investment, and restore long-
term population and employment growth.
Serving as project lead, DPP began by conducting a rigorous market analysis of
housing and commercial conditions across the city and its trade area. This
included detailed evaluation of housing supply and demand, market
segmentation, and affordability, paired with an analysis of Effingham’s retail,
office, and industrial sectors to identify gaps, redevelopment potential, and
opportunities for business expansion.
Through extensive stakeholder engagement—including more than 20
interviews with local employers, developers, and community organizations—
the project team uncovered critical inefficiencies in both the housing and
commercial markets. These ranged from limited workforce housing and land
readiness to high development costs and regulatory constraints.
Drawing on best practices and advanced modeling, the project team developed
actionable strategies to overcome these barriers: expanding residential
development capacity, lowering the cost of doing business, strengthening
downtown and corridor commercial nodes, and diversifying the city’s housing
stock to meet employer and workforce needs. The plan also outlined
implementation timelines, cost projections, and measurable performance
outcomes to guide ongoing decision-making.
Adopted unanimously by the City Council in January 2024, the Effingham
Housing & Economic Recovery Plan now serves as the City’s roadmap for
coordinated housing and economic growth—anchored in market realities and
designed to position Effingham as a model for small-city revitalization and
reinvestment.

Market Overview & Opportunity Analysis
Client: City of Racine, WI
The City of Racine retained Development Planning Partners (DPP) to prepare a
comprehensive Market Overview and Opportunity Analysis to serve as a
foundation for new housing, commercial, and economic development
initiatives. The broad-based assignment included both a citywide Housing
Market Study and a detailed analysis of the City’s four primary commercial
districts.
DPP’s work combined data-driven analysis with practical development insight
to help Racine chart a path toward renewed growth. The housing component
identified opportunities to restore balance to the city’s residential market by
expanding attainable housing options and introducing new product types
attractive to both current and incoming residents. Recommendations
emphasized the adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of vacant properties—
particularly in older neighborhoods—as a strategy to stabilize distressed areas
and expand workforce housing for moderate-income households critical to
Racine’s long-term vitality.
On the commercial side, DPP evaluated market conditions across the city’s
major retail and employment districts, identifying redevelopment priorities and
market-supported tenant recruitment strategies. For each district, the team
provided targeted investment “road maps” highlighting opportunities to
strengthen local business activity, attract new investment, and improve the
overall consumer environment.
Finally, DPP’s work highlighted Racine’s enduring legacy of innovation—tracing
its roots from early manufacturing leadership to the city’s pioneering role in
business incubation—and proposed strategies to leverage that history as a
modern economic driver. Through the concept of an “Entrepreneurial Zone,”
DPP outlined a vision for revitalization rooted in Racine’s unique identity,
designed to attract new businesses, foster innovation, and reestablish the city
as a regional hub of economic opportunity.

Background:
Property History
The subject property at 103 South Lake Street has longstanding historical significance in Mundelein.
Aerial imagery indicates that the home has existed since at least 1939, and records suggest it was
originally built in 1895 (well before the Village’s incorporation in 1909). The house sits on land once
owned by the Rouse family, one of Mundelein’s oldest founding families. The Rouse Family operated
a dairy farm and Rouse Bros. Dairy in the early 1900s. At first, the business operated out of the small
brick garage that still sits on the property at 103 South Lake, before the retail storefront relocated to
a building north on Lake Street (where the Police Station sits today).
John and Matilda Rouse arrived from England around 1840 and acquired acreage northeast of
Diamond Lake, including the 125-acre lake itself. By the late 1800s, the Rouse farm extended to 387
acres, including the subject property. The neighboring home to the rear on Seymour Avenue was
originally the dairy barn serving this property before being converted to a residence.
Members of the Rouse family have remained active in public, civic, and agricultural life in Lake
County since 1844 and continue to reside in the area today. According to letters found in Village
records, the property was owned by the Rouse family until at least 1965.

Use of Property
The property has long functioned as a two-unit dwelling, although there are no Village records
documenting when or under what circumstances the conversion occurred and whether it received
any municipal approvals. Anecdotal accounts from family friends of the prior owner suggest the
structure has operated as a duplex since at least the 1970s, but permit records from that era are
incomplete and unreliable. Code enforcement history suggests that the Village became aware of the
two-family use in 2004 and acknowledged it as an existing condition.
However, it does appear that the property has been zoned for single-family use since at least 1957:
• 1957 Zoning Classification: R-2 One-Family Dwelling District
• 2012 Zoning Classification: R-5 One Family (10,000 SF Minimum Lot Size)
• 2013-2025 Zoning Classification: R-3 Single-Family Residential
The previous owner (whose family also owned the neighboring Jake Moran’s) contacted the Village in
early 2025 stating their intention to sell the property, and requested written confirmation that the
duplex use was a permitted, conforming use. At that time, staff consulted legal counsel, who advised
that there was no documentation formally establishing that it was converted legally, and as a result,
the Village could not put such a statement in writing because the property is zoned for single-family
use. However, the Village clarified that it would not pursue enforcement to require conversion back
to a single-family home and accepts the existing condition.
Page 100 of 321
Although the property was not formally registered as a rental, the prior owner reportedly lived in the
building and rented the other unit to a family member, which might explain why it was not treated
by the owner as a traditional rental arrangement. The two units share water and sewer service, but
have long maintained separate ComEd electric accounts and have separate entrances.
Rezoning Request (Map Amendment)
The previous owner had submitted an application in early 2025 for a rezoning to the R-4 Two-Family
Residential district; however, the property sold before the application proceeded. The new property
owner has submitted a new application requesting the rezoning for the purpose of aligning the
property’s long-standing use with the zoning map.
The new owner has not proposed any changes to the building or site and solely seeks to rezone the
property to bring it into legal, conforming status. Staff notes that the current zoning designation does
not permit duplexes; however, the R-4 District allows this use by right and is contiguous with other R-
4 parcels in the immediate area.
• Current Zoning: R-3 Single-Family Residential
• Proposed Zoning: R-4 Two-Family Residential
Figure 4: Zoning District Map
Staff Comments
Page 101 of 321
Both the Finance Department and Public Works & Engineering strongly recommend that the site
utilities are modified to separate the water and sewer services for the two separate units (i.e. two
separate meters). As it currently stands, the property owner has no way of quantifying how much
water is used by each separate unit. If a water bill is unpaid, then the water shutoff would affect both
tenants.
The property owner has agreed to this change, stating that it is their preference as well, and will
separately pursue this with Public Works & Engineering.
Based on anecdote, the secondary unit has historically been rented out to the prior owner’s family
members, so it is likely that utility billing was handled informally and never necessitated a separate
meter.
Public Comments
No comments were received from the public at the time of writing this staff report.
Comprehensive Plan
The Future Land Use Plan within the Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as “Single-
Family Attached Residential” (i.e. duplex), despite the current zoning or R-3 Single-Family
Residential. The rezoning would be consistent with the long-term plan, which encourages additional
density in and around the downtown, particularly on busy corridors such as Route 45.
Figure 5: Comprehensive Plan Excerpt – Future Land Use Plan
Planning and Zoning Commission
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request on November 19,
2025 and voted 7-0 in favor of recommending approval of the map amendment.
Page 102 of 321
Analysis
Staff supports the proposed map amendment based on the following:
• Zoning Compliance: Bringing the property into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance
benefits both the Village and current/future owners by reducing ambiguity and ensuring the
use matches the zoning classification on record.
• Contiguity: The property is contiguous with other R-4 parcels; therefore, the rezoning would
not constitute spot zoning and aligns logically with the existing zoning pattern.
• Appropriate Density Near Downtown: The location’s proximity to Downtown Mundelein
makes a slightly higher residential density appropriate and compatible with nearby
townhouses and multi-family developments already present or under construction in the
downtown area.
• Long-Standing Use: Limited evidence suggests that the duplex configuration has existed for
decades, indicating this is not a new or intensified use but an established condition. Evidence
includes anecdotal testimony, electric billing records, and the existing layout of the home
itself.
• No Known Negative Impacts: Staff is not aware of any complaints, enforcement issues, or
neighborhood concerns associated with the two-unit use.
• Limited Additional Uses in R-4: Aside from permitting duplexes, the R-4 District does not
introduce new uses beyond those already permitted in the R-3 District, minimizing the risk of
unintended impacts.
• Correction of Historical Oversight: The property was likely zoned R-3 during the 2012 Zoning
Ordinance rewrite because the Village did not know the structure contained two units.
Rezoning corrects this map inaccuracy to reflect on-the-ground conditions.
• Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: The 2021 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Plan
designates the subject property as “Single-Family Attached Residential” despite the current R-
3 zoning.
• Purpose of Request: The applicant seeks rezoning solely to align the zoning map with the
long-standing duplex use; no building modifications or intensification are proposed.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance approving a map amendment to rezone the property at 103 South Lake
Street, Mundelein, Illinois from R-3 Single Family Residential to R-4 Two-Family Residential.

ORDINANCE NO. O-26-01-4
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A MAP AMENDMENT TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 103 SOUTH LAKE
STREET, MUNDELEIN, ILLINOIS FROM R-3 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO R-4 TWO-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein, Lake County, Illinois, is a home rule municipality as contemplated
under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and the passage of this Ordinance
constitutes an exercise of the Village’s home rule powers and functions as granted in the Constitution of
the State of Illinois.
WHEREAS, pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/7-1-25, Marsha and Jose Rodriguez (“Petitioner”), filed a petition with
the Village of Mundelein, an Illinois municipal corporation located in Lake County, Illinois, to change the
zoning classification for property commonly known as 103 South Lake Street, which property is legally
described and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subject Property”) from R-3 Single-Family Residential
to R-4 Two-Family Residential; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Mundelein Planning and Zoning Commission on
November 19, 2025, on the petition and the Planning and Zoning Commission has made its findings of
fact and recommended approval of the petition; and
WHEREAS, at the Village Board meeting on January 12, 2026, the Mundelein Village Board of Trustees
accepted the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation and findings of fact and determined
that it is necessary to adopt this Ordinance amending the Village of Mundelein Zoning Map and have

property zoned in the same manner as the Subject Property, shall be complied with, except as
otherwise provided in this Ordinance, or other ordinances approved by the Mayor and Board of
Trustees with respect to the Subject Property.
SECTION IV: If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, sentence or provision of this Ordinance shall
be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair,
invalidate or nullify the remainder thereof, which remainder shall remain and continue in full force and
effect.

FINDINGS OF FACT – 103 S. LAKE STREET
Map Amendment from R-3 to R-4
CASE NUMBER PZ2025-0018
PUBLIC November 19, 2025
HEARING
DATE
On November 19, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of a map amendment to
rezone the property at 103 S. Lake Street from R-3 Single-Family Residential to R-4 Two-Family Residential.
The planning and zoning commission recommendation and the village board decision on any zoning amendment,
whether text or map amendment, is a matter of legislative discretion that is not controlled by any particular standard.
However, in making their recommendation and decision, the planning and zoning commission and the village board shall
consider the following standards. The approval of amendments is based on a balancing of these standards.
1. The existing use and zoning of nearby property.
Draft Approval The location’s proximity to Downtown Mundelein makes a slightly higher residential density
appropriate and compatible with nearby townhouses and multi-family developments already present
or under construction in the downtown area. Furthermore, this property is contiguous with other R-4
Two-Family Residential properties and would not be out of character with the properties on this block.
2. The extent to which property values of the subject property are diminished by the existing zoning.
Draft Approval The property values of the subject property could be diminished by the existing zoning, as it has long
been structured as a duplex and considered an existing nonconforming use in the current R-3 Single-
Family zoning district. The property has been used as a duplex for at least 50 years, possibly longer.
The nonconforming status could affect the property value.
3. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the village.
Draft Approval The amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the Village by bringing an existing
use into conformance with the Zoning Map. Furthermore, the R-4 Two-Family Residential zoning
district promotes slightly higher residential density near Downtown Mundelein, which helps to address
a county-wide housing shortage, is a more efficient use of infrastructure, and brings more residents
and spending power to support the businesses in Downtown Mundelein.
4. The relative gain to the public, as compared to the hardship imposed upon the applicant.
Draft Approval The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the public stands to gain by eliminating
nonconformities and promoting additional density in the area surrounding Downtown Mundelein.
5. The suitability of the property for the purposes for which it is presently zoned, i.e. the feasibility of developing the
property in question for one or more of the uses permitted under the existing zoning classification.
Draft Approval The property is currently used for a two-family purpose and is therefore not suitable for the current
zoning of R-3 Single-Family Residential. It has been separated into two dwelling units for at least 50
years, and possibly up to 100 years. Combining the two dwelling units would be costly, burdensome,
and would provide little benefit to the public.
6. The length of time that the property in question has been vacant, as presently zoned, considered in the context of
development in the area where the property is located.
Draft Approval The property has not been used for its present zoning (single-family residential) for at least 50 years. It
has been occupied as a duplex.
7. The evidence, or lack of evidence, of community need for the use proposed by the applicant.
Draft Approval There is a need for housing in Lake County – in order for Lake County to attract and retain residents and
businesses, it must have a diverse housing stock that provides options for households at different life
stages, ages, incomes, and sizes. The lack of housing limits the community’s ability to attract and
retain workers, particularly with an aging population, and projected decline in the working age
population.
8. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the comprehensive plan.
Page 108 of 321
Draft Approval The map amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which recommends a future land
use of “Attached Single Family” for this property. The current zoning designation is actually
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
9. That the proposed amendment will benefit the residents of the village as a whole, and not just the applicant,
property owner(s), neighbors of any property under consideration, or other special interest groups, and the extent
to which the proposed use would be in the public interest and would not serve solely the interest of the applicant.
Draft Approval The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the introduction of additional housing options to the
community, as well as the elimination of nonconformities, benefits the residents of the Village as a
whole beyond just the applicant. Additionally, the subject property has significant historic value, and
any actions that might render it unusable, or even demolished, would be a loss to the community.
10. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.
Draft Approval The proposed amendment would eliminate a nonconformity.
11. The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question.
Draft Approval The trend of development in the general area of the property in question is an increase in residential
density, as the property is located just south of the Downtown zoning district, where townhouses and
multi-family projects have been constructed.
12. Whether adequate public facilities are available including, but not limited to, schools, parks, police and fire protection,
roads, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and water lines, or are reasonably capable of being provided prior to the development
of the uses, which would be permitted on the subject property if the amendment were adopted.
Draft Approval The site is served by adequate public facilities.

Staff Presentation
C. Malec gave the attached presentation and provided a background on the property
and the requested map amendment to rezone the property at 103 S Lake Street from
R-3 Single Family Residential to R-4 Two Family Residential. The commissioners
requested clarification between the zoning map and the comprehensive plan. The
Comprehensive plan is a guiding document and the zoning map shows what the actual
zoning of each lot within the Village is. Staff is in support of the petition. Staff does not
usually take a stance, but the zoning request fits with the history of the property as well
as the vision of the property within the Comprehensive Plan.
Petitioner Presentation
Marsha and Jose Rodriguez, owners of the property at 103 S Lake Street, were sworn
in. Commissioner Petti asked if both units will be rented out. The property owners
confirmed that both units will be rented out. The rental contract would detail which
Page 111 of 321
parking spaces would be used for the units. The garage will be used by the property
owner.
Public Commentary
Chairman T. Roswick opened the floor to public commentary.
Robert Ward of 46 S. Greenview Avenue was sworn in. Mr. Ward expressed concerns
about the future development of the property. He inquired if the house could be torn
down and there could be several 2-units developed across the multiple lots. C. Malec
stated that in theory they could if the lots were re-subdivided in a way that would allow
the development and meet the setback requirements. It would not be an easy task to
do, but in theory it would be able to do.
Mr. Ward also asked about how the addresses would be handled with the separation of
the units. C. Malec stated that the Building Department handles the addressing within
the Village and it would be under the Director's discretion.
J. Holden asked if there was any historical protections within the Village. C. Malec
stated there are no protections on historical homes within the Village. The Historical
Commission does collect information on some of the historical homes within the
Village, but there are no protections in ways done by some other municipalities.
Chairman T. Roswick closed the floor to public commentary.
Commission Discussion
J. Holdens stated she was in favor of this petition in order to do some cleanup based on
the historical use of the property.
K. Teehan stated that he does have some concerns with developing all the lots as two
family due to the historical significance of the home.
S. Petti stated that he was not concerned with the home being torn down and the lots
developed due to the cost that would be needed to develop all the lots.
K. Anderson thanked staff for elaborating the staff report on the case. In reviewing the
application with the comprehensive plan, he expressed support for the application.
Chairman T. Roswick asked the Commission to review the Findings of Fact.
Map Amendment Request
S. Petti moved, seconded by J. Holden, a Motion to recommend approval of a Map
Amendment to rezone the property at 103 S Lake Street from R-3 Single-Family

Staff Presentation and Commission Discussion
A. Orenchuk gave the attached presentation detailing the proposed zoning ordinance
Page 114 of 321
text amendments that have been in progress since 2017.
J. Holden requested clarification on the procedure for approving text amendment
changes to the Zoning Ordinance. A. Orenchuk reviewed the approval procedure and
the difference between the comprehensive plan and the zoning map. The
Comprehensive Plan is a guide for a vision of how the Village sees future uses of
properties located within the Village. The Zoning Map is a record of the current actual
zoning designations of the properties within the Village. A. Orenchuk indicated that at
the end of the several sessions anticipated to discuss the amendments, there will be a
redline version of the document for the PZC to review and provide a recommendation
to the Board.
Traditional Neighborhood / New Urbanism District
The project proposed as Ivanhoe Village is considered a Traditional Neighborhood
Design (TND) or New Urbanism project with a mix of building types and open spaces
along with specific street typography. The discussion at this meeting was not to
specifically discuss the Ivanhoe Village proposal, but to discuss TND zoning in general.
Staff is requesting language within the code to create a shell district that would require
any Traditional Neighborhood project to apply as a Planned Unit Development, which
requires a regulating PUD Ordinance that gets considered with the application for a
TND Map Amendment. There is a lot of nuance and prescriptive design for these types
of developments that need some flexibility in locations of open space, road typologies,
and mixtures of building types. The PUD gives the Village the ability to control the
development a little better in terms of architecture and open spaces while supporting
the form-based/design focused development.
The commission discussed similar projects located throughout the country and how
municipalities have handled the zoning to date. Staff explained that in light of the
Ivanhoe development, there was an avenue that was explored that looked at
integrating a full form-based code for New Urbanism into the Village's municipal code.
In a master-planned community scenario with a long time horizon this became a
challenge. This led to the exploration of TND as a PUD. The Commission supported
adding language for Traditional Neighborhood/New Urbanism regulations within the
Zoning Ordinance.
Administrative Hearings
There have been a couple hurdles in recent history regarding notification for hearings.
Being a home-rule community, there is more flexibility regarding notification
requirements. Certified mailers with green receipts are a significant cost for any
property owner that needs to go through a public hearing. The requested change
would allow the property owners to have virtual receipts, allowing for a significant cost
Page 115 of 321
savings for the applicant.
The commission discussed other changes, including adding notices centrally on the
Village Website. It was discussed that any changes made would need to be applied to
all cases.
Accessory Structures
The Commission discussed accessory structure sizes allowed.
Recreational Equipment
The current zoning code references Recreation Equipment but does not have a
definition. Staff included proposed text for this definition including swing sets, play
sets, tree houses, ice rinks, basketball and other sports equipment on private
residential property. The commission supported adding the definition to the Zoning
Code.
Accessory Structures Attached to a Principal Structure
The commission discussed the merits of allowing an attached accessory structure, such
as a pergola, to be expanded to the maximum property envelope that would be
allowed for an enclosed addition to the principal structure.
The Commission discussed the similar issue of allowing a detached accessory structure,
such as a gazebo, larger than the 144 square feet allowed by the Zoning Code, such as
those currently available for purchase from major retailers such as Home Depot or
Costco.
There was a lot more to discuss, but it was after 9:30 PM, so the Commission decided
to continue the discussion to another meeting date.
Public Commentary
There was no public commentary.
Continue Public Hearing
J. Holden moved, seconded by K. Teehan, a Motion to continue Public Hearing PZ2025-
0037 to Wednesday, December 17th at 7:00 PM at the Mundelein Village Hall located

History
103 S. Lake predates
Mundelein – one of the
community’s oldest homes.
Constructed in 1895 by the
Rouse Family, who arrived
from England around 1840 and John Rouse
acquired hundreds of acres (1828-1917)
northeast of Diamond Lake
(including the lake itself).
Built on the foundation of a
prior house that burnt down by
Harry Rouse, son of John and
Matilda.
Members of the Rouse family
have remained active in Lake
County to this day. The home
was owned by the Rouse Family Matilda Rouse
until at least 1965. (1831-1903)
Page 123 of 321

The Rouse Family
operated a dairy farm

Rouse Bros. Dairy
Started in 1921. They owned one truck
that they used to deliver milk from their
farm.
Business expanded in 1925 and they
relocated the business from the small
garage to a new, brick building at 220 N.
Lake Street (where the Police Station
now sits).
Business eventually served customers
as far as Barrington, Fox Lake, Lake
Bluff, and Lake Forest with a horse and
milk wagon.

Use of Property
Property is currently structured
as two separate dwelling units
(separate entrances).
Anecdotal evidence suggests
that it has been a duplex for a
long time – potentially 50-100
years:

2025: Why Zoning Became an Issue
In early 2025, the previous owner
indicated that they wanted to sell the
property.
They requested a zoning letter
confirming that the duplex use was
permitted so prospective buyers had
certainty that they would not inherit a
code enforcement issue.
However, the property is zoned R-3
Single-Family Residential, which does
not permit duplexes. The existing duplex
use is generally considered an existing
nonconformity by the Village.
The property has been zoned for single-
family use as long as the Village has had
zoning districts.

Zoning letter requests are not uncommon during Based on anecdotal evidence, it is very

could not write a zoning letter.
Page 131 of 321
Map Amendment Request (Rezoning)
The applicant is requesting that the
property be rezoned from:
R-3 Single-Family Residential
R-4 Two-Family Residential
The R-4 district permits duplexes by right,
resulting in a legal conforming land use.
Property is contiguous with other R-4
zoned properties.
No changes to the property are proposed
at this time. The owners intend to rent the
two units out.
Page 132 of 321
Staff Analysis
Staff supports the rezoning request for several reasons:
1) Zoning Compliance
Good practice to eliminate nonconformities where possible. Less
ambiguity for both the Village, property owners, and neighbors.
2) Contiguity
Property is contiguous with other R-4 parcels and would not be
“spot zoning”.
2) Appropriate Density Near Downtown
Property is located 770 feet south of the Downtown zoning district.
The nearby properties are zoned R-4 to encourage slightly
increased density surrounding the downtown. Density supports
economic development and revitalization of commercial areas.
Page 133 of 321
Staff Analysis
4) Long-Standing Use
Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that the
duplex configuration has existed for decades,
indicating that it is not a new or intensified use.
5) No Known Negative Impacts
Staff is not aware of any complaints, enforcement
issues, or neighborhood concerns associated with
the duplex use.
6) Limited Additional Uses in R-4
Aside from permitting duplexes, the R-4 district
does not introduce new permitted uses beyond
those already allowed in the current district (R-3
Single-Family). This limits the risk of unintended
impacts.
Page 134 of 321
Comprehensive Plan
The Future Land Use Plan within
the 2021 Comprehensive Plan
designates this property as
“Single-Family Attached
Residential”.
“Single-Family Attached
Residential” in this context refers
to:
• Duplexes
• Townhomes
• Rowhomes
• Dwelling types that generally
have direct access to each unit
and lack common interior
spaces such as lobbies.
Page 135 of 321
Staff Comments
Water/Sewer Utility Billing:
• Finance and Public Works both strongly recommend that
sewer and water are separated (i.e. two separate meters).
• As it stands, the property has no way to quantify how much
water is used by each separate unit.
• A water shutoff due to an unpaid bill could not be isolated to
one unit if they are not separated.
Rental Registration:
The property owner should apply for landlord registration,
which is a requirement for all rental dwelling units in
Mundelein.
• Annual fee: $40 per address plus $12 for each additional

FINDINGS OF FACT – 103 S. LAKE STREET
Map Amendment from R-3 to R-4
CASE NUMBER PZ2025-0018
PUBLIC November 19, 2025
HEARING
DATE
On November 19, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend Approval of a map amendment
to rezone the property at 103 S. Lake Street from R-3 Single-Family Residential to R-4 Two-Family Residential.
The planning and zoning commission recommendation and the village board decision on any zoning amendment,
whether text or map amendment, is a matter of legislative discretion that is not controlled by any particular standard.
However, in making their recommendation and decision, the planning and zoning commission and the village board shall
consider the following standards. The approval of amendments is based on a balancing of these standards.
1. The existing use and zoning of nearby property.
The location’s proximity to Downtown Mundelein makes a slightly higher residential density appropriate and compatible
with nearby townhouses and multi-family developments already present or under construction in the downtown area.
Furthermore, this property is contiguous with other R-4 Two-Family Residential properties and would not be out of
character with the properties on this block.
2. The extent to which property values of the subject property are diminished by the existing zoning.
The property values of the subject property could be diminished by the existing zoning, as it has long been structured as
a duplex and considered an existing nonconforming use in the current R-3 Single-Family zoning district. The property has
been used as a duplex for at least 50 years, possibly longer. The nonconforming status could affect the property value.
3. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the village.
The amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of the Village by bringing an existing use into
conformance with the Zoning Map. Furthermore, the R-4 Two-Family Residential zoning district promotes slightly higher
residential density near Downtown Mundelein, which helps to address a county-wide housing shortage, is a more
efficient use of infrastructure, and brings more residents and spending power to support the businesses in Downtown
Mundelein.
4. The relative gain to the public, as compared to the hardship imposed upon the applicant.
The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the public stands to gain by eliminating nonconformities and promoting
additional density in the area surrounding Downtown Mundelein.
5. The suitability of the property for the purposes for which it is presently zoned, i.e. the feasibility of developing the
property in question for one or more of the uses permitted under the existing zoning classification.
The property is currently used for a two-family purpose and is therefore not suitable for the current zoning of R-3 Single-
Family Residential. It has been separated into two dwelling units for at least 50 years, and possibly up to 100 years.
Combining the two dwelling units would be costly, burdensome, and would provide little benefit to the public.
6. The length of time that the property in question has been vacant, as presently zoned, considered in the context of
development in the area where the property is located.
The property has not been used for its present zoning (single-family residential) for at least 50 years. It has been occupied
as a duplex.
7. The evidence, or lack of evidence, of community need for the use proposed by the applicant.
There is a need for housing in Lake County – in order for Lake County to attract and retain residents and businesses, it
must have a diverse housing stock that provides options for households at different life stages, ages, incomes, and sizes.
The lack of housing limits the community’s ability to attract and retain workers, particularly with an aging population, and
projected decline in the working age population.
8. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the comprehensive plan.
The map amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which recommends a future land use of “Attached
Single Family” for this property. The current zoning designation is actually inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 138 of 321
9. That the proposed amendment will benefit the residents of the village as a whole, and not just the applicant,
property owner(s), neighbors of any property under consideration, or other special interest groups, and the extent
to which the proposed use would be in the public interest and would not serve solely the interest of the applicant.
The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the introduction of additional housing options to the community, as well
as the elimination of nonconformities, benefits the residents of the Village as a whole beyond just the applicant.
Additionally, the subject property has significant historic value, and any actions that might render it unusable, or even
demolished, would be a loss to the community.
10. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.
The proposed amendment would eliminate a nonconformity.
11. The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question.
The trend of development in the general area of the property in question is an increase in residential density, as the
property is located just south of the Downtown zoning district, where townhouses and multi-family projects have been
constructed.
12. Whether adequate public facilities are available including, but not limited to, schools, parks, police and fire protection,
roads, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and water lines, or are reasonably capable of being provided prior to the development
of the uses, which would be permitted on the subject property if the amendment were adopted.
The site is served by adequate public facilities.

Re: Engineering Services Agreement
2026 MFT Joint Municipality Resurfacing Improvements
Libertyville, Mundelein, and Vernon Hills, Illinois
GHA Proposal No. 2026.M004
Dear Mr. Kendzior:
On behalf of Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA), we thank you for the opportunity to submit this
proposal to again assist the Village of Vernon Hills, Mundelein and Libertyville with the implementation of a
portion of their annual Roadway Improvement Program. The program will utilize MFT (Motor Fuel Tax)
funds and it is the intent of the listed Agencies to submit a joint proposal for bidding through IDOT Local
Roads.
As you observed during the previous year’s projects, by combining the effort into one bid package, the
group was able to achieve a cost savings over proceeding with their programs individually. Members of our
staff assisted in the completion of these roadway improvement documents for the communities and we are
ready to assist in this effort again for the 2026 program year. Our prior experience provides insight into
potential problem areas in the contract processing procedures and we can utilize this historical knowledge
to your advantage.
The Village of Vernon Hills, Mundelein and Libertyville, (hereinafter “Villages”), and Gewalt Hamilton
Associates, Inc., (hereinafter “GHA”) agree and contract as follows:
Project Understanding
The Villages plan to upgrade their roadway infrastructure by improving portions of their respective systems
located along various routes within their municipal boundaries. Planned work may generally include: curb
and gutter repairs/replacement, general roadway base patching, milling, structure adjustments, sidewalk
repairs/replacement, driveway replacements, roadway paving, and site restoration.
It is understood that the Villages are proposing to joint bid the work and will include: the Village of Libertyville,
who will be the identified lead agency in the effort this season, the Village of Mundelein, Libertyville Township
(will be billed separately as appropriate), and the Village of Vernon Hills. The project will follow IDOT Local
Roads MFT standard specifications and format and will be processed and advertised by IDOT Local Roads.
Each Municipality will be preparing their own portion of the project document and will be required to provide
and modify any portion of the document that pertains to their community. This may include: Typical sections,
location maps and street listings, special provisions of the community, repair assessments, typical details of
the community (that are not IDOT Standard) and quantity summaries/EOPC’s. GHA will only be compiling
the various documents into one contract and moving them through the IDOT process. We will not be
performing any of the assessment or design work for the communities as part of this contract.
Page 179 of 321
Documents submitted from others must be in the proper format and be consistent with the type of work being
performed. We are not responsible for extra work resulting from incomplete or incorrect documents provided
by other communities.
The following project approach is based on our discussions with the Villages and our experience with
similar projects of this type. As such, GHA proposes to provide Engineering Services to generally include
the following:
I. Scope of Services
A. Project Initiation and Coordination
Coordination with Village Staff and stakeholders of each community to discuss specific areas of
concern will be key to implementing a successful project. The following tasks are anticipated during
this phase of the project:
1. Representatives from GHA will attend a kick-off meeting with the Villages’ staff prior to
commencing contract compiling and processing services. A street list from each Municipality
will be needed at this time for processing through IDOT.
2. GHA will contact IDOT regarding the project scope and obtain the necessary Section
Number(s). We will identify the Village of Vernon Hills as the Lead Agency for this effort.
B. Contract Documents and Specifications
1. Upon receipt of proper approvals from IDOT, GHA will begin the development of the
preliminary project contract documents and general specifications. They will utilize IDOT Local
Roads Forms and will be compiled following the current IDOT Local Roads standards. We will
include the Villages provided special provisions, details, typical sections, etc. as they are
provided for inclusion into one cohesive bid document.
2. As part of this work, a preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost will be prepared once
all the various quantities are provided by the local agencies. This will allow for the various pay
items to be reviewed and revised, if necessary, to lessen any specialized features and allow for
more combined quantities of similar nature. The streamlining of multiple individual quantity
types is what will allow for the most cost savings during bidding. GHA will assist in discussions
with the communities to help reach a consensus as to what items should be revised and
combined and what items can be left independent.
C. Final Document Preparation
1. Upon receipt of the Village’s review comments, final revisions will be completed for all work
items in accordance with the IDOT MFT specification format as well as the individual Village’s
requirements.
2. Based on the final contract documents and project specifications, GHA will develop a final
construction EOPC on BLR form 11510 utilizing the estimated quantities, our internal database
of unit rates from similar projects, market conditions, and other factors. This form will be
submitted to the Villages for their final review.
3. Completed bidding documentation will be submitted to the various Municipalities and the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau of Local Roads for review and comment.
Page 2 of 6
Page 180 of 321
We anticipate following the IDOT Local Roads advertisement and bidding processes, which will
be handled by GHA.
D. Project Management and Design Meetings
1. Representatives from GHA will attend progress meetings with Villages staff at the 80% and
100% completion submittals as needed. We will also meet with IDOT at one review meeting to
review the project as needed.
2. When the project has been approved by the various member communities and IDOT, it will be
advertised. GHA will prepare and distribute contract documents from their office and will
manage the coordination and response of all technical inquiries regarding the project. A GHA
representative will attend the public bid opening at a location provided by the Village of
Mundelein and will provide assistance to the Villages in the bid opening.
3. GHA will tabulate the bids and summarize the information for a preliminary verbal response
within 24 hours, notifying the Villages of the lowest responsible bidder. Final bid tabulations
with individual community breakdowns will be provided as soon as practical.
4. As necessary, we will confirm Contractor references and evaluate any bidding discrepancies. A
written recommendation will then be prepared and submitted for approval by each communities
Village Board.
5. The final Contract Documents and Bid Summary will be compiled and submitted to IDOT for
approval after processing and execution by the Village of Libertyville and the Contractor.
E. IDOT Project Closeout Documentation
1. At the completion of construction activities, GHA will coordinate with the member communities
to obtain the IDOT required documentation for submittal. We will assist in creating the needed
approval forms for Village execution and will assist in the drafting of any letter of justification
explanations. It will be the requirement of each member community to provide their final
contract quantities and any Change Orders, Time and Material (T&M) documents, or Agreed
Unit Prices (AUP) forms. GHA will not be responsible for tracking down missing information
from the Contractor or Community.
2. GHA will prepare project closeout documentation following IDOT guidelines. It is currently
anticipated that the following forms will be provided:
a. BLR 13210 Request for Approval of Change in Plans
b. BLR 13231 Engineer’s Final Payment Estimate.
c. BLR 13510 Final Report of Expenditures
d. Village Acceptance Letter (Each Community will be provided with a document for their
letterhead and signature)
e. Material Certification Letter
f. AUP and T&M documents (as provided by each Community)
3. Coordinate any questions or comments received by IDOT to the appropriate member
Community and assist in crafting an appropriate response.
Page 3 of 6
Page 181 of 321
II. Compensation for Services
GHA proposes to provide the above services for a lump sum (LS) fee of $17,850.00. Reimbursable
expenses, including items such as printing, messenger service, mileage, etc., are included in this fee and
will be billed to the Client without markup. It is anticipated that the project billing will be broken out as
follows:
1. Two (2) Design Document and Contract Processing invoices will be submitted in the amount of
$6,450.00 each. One after contract documents are compiled and submitted to the Villages for
review and one after the project is bid, Award Recommendations are completed to each
community and the executed Contract Documents are submitted to IDOT for processing.
2. One (1) Final Project Closeout Processing invoice in the amount of $4,950.00 will be submitted
once the IDOT paperwork has been submitted to IDOT for closeout near the end of calendar
year 2026.
It is understood that the member communities are each contributing a third (1/3) of the above total contract
cost and they will each be billed individually by our office.
III. Notes, Clarifications and Assumptions
1. Meetings beyond those specified in II. Scope of Services are not included and will be billed on
a time-and-materials (T&M) basis as an additional service.
2. Environmental assessments, wetland delineations or permitting are not included.
3. Our estimated fees assume that all street improvements will be designed in 2025/26 under a
single engineering contract and constructed during the 2026 calendar year. An increase or
reduction to the scope of the project may require adjustments to our fees.
4. No design plan sets are to be generated as part of the work. Communities will prepare any
necessary Design Plan Layout Pages individually. GHA will assist in compiling them into one
plan set for submittal.
5. The Client will be responsible for all bid advertising costs (none anticipated).
6. No construction layout or construction engineering services are included.
7. GHA will not be responsible for any construction oversight or punch list generation activities.
8. Any services requested by the Villages but not expressly identified within Scope of Services
will be provided for an additional fee under a separate proposal.
9. No design and contract preparation services are being provided to the member communities
as part of this contract. Each community will be responsible for providing complete and
accurate contract documents for their portion of the work.
10. No Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) investigations will be conducted.
11. Project documentation using IDOT ICORS management system will not be provided as part of
the record keeping services. The nature of the proposed work does not require the use of this
system and utilizing it would add unnecessary costs to the project.
12. Any construction observation services performed directly by Village staff will be documented by
said staff in separate files and copies of the associated quantities provided to GHA by the end
of the project. GHA staff will not be responsible for measuring or otherwise documenting
quantities as part of this work.

Mr. Adam Boeche, P.E.
Director of Engineering & Public Works
Village of Mundelein
801 Allanson Road
Mundelein, IL 60060
Re: Design Engineering Services Agreement
2026 MFT Improvements Design
Mundelein, Illinois
GHA Proposal No. 2026.M003
Dear Mr. Boeche:
On behalf of Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA), we thank you for the opportunity to submit this
proposal to assist the Village with implementation of another portion of their annual Roadway Improvement
program. Members of our staff have enjoyed long-term professional relationships with the Village and have
assisted in the completion of similar roadway improvement projects throughout the area. This prior
experience provides us unique insight and an ability to use this historical knowledge to the Village's
advantage.
The Village of Mundelein, (hereinafter “Village”), and Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (hereinafter “GHA”)
agree and contract as follows:
I. Project Understanding
The Village of Mundelein plans to upgrade its roadway infrastructure by improving portions of the system
located along various routes within the Village. The current effort will focus on the rehabilitation / repaving
of approximately 8,915 FT of roadway in the Village (see attached List of Streets). Planned work generally
includes curb and gutter repairs/replacement, general roadway base patching, milling, structure
adjustments, sidewalk repairs/replacement, driveway replacements, roadway paving, and site restoration.
The existing pavement sections are generally assumed to consist of aggregate, PCC and HMA base
courses with asphalt overlays of various thicknesses throughout the project limits. It is recommended that
pavement coring be completed as part of the design efforts, and we have provided an allowance to
complete the investigations.
It is understood that the Village is proposing to joint bid the work with the Village of Libertyville and the
Village of Vernon Hills. Libertyville will be the lead agency in the effort this year. The project will follow IDOT
Local Roads MFT standard specifications and format and will be processed by IDOT Local Roads. GHA will
provide the necessary special provisions and quantities on behalf of Mundelein, as well as any details,
typical sections or design layout plans/maps determined to be required for bidding. The compiling,
completion and processing of the contract bid documents for all three agencies will be completed under a
separate proposal and is not included in the current scope of work.
Page 187 of 321
Each Municipality will be required to provide and modify any portion of the document that pertains to their
community. GHA will not be performing any of the work for any other community.
GHA is not responsible for extra work resulting from incomplete or incorrect documents produced by other
entities.
The design approach for this work will be similar to that of previous efforts undertaken by the Village.
Throughout the limits of the project, the roadway system will be visually assessed and tabulated for repairs.
As construction will not require extensive re-grading for pavement reconstruction activities, the creation of
full design plans would prove to be an unnecessary expense. Unit items necessary for construction will be
generated and included in a specification booklet bid document.
As this work is being combined with efforts from the neighboring communities of Libertyville and Vernon
Hills into one bid package, we anticipate that the overall completed contract documents will be submitted to
the Village representatives, as well as IDOT Local Roads for review and comment once compiled. We
anticipate following the IDOT Contractor Bulletin advertisement and bidding processes, which will be
handled by GHA through IDOT Local Roads.
The following project approach is based on our discussions with the Client and our experience with similar
projects in this neighborhood. As such, GHA proposes to provide Civil Engineering Design Services to
include the following:
II. Scope of Services
A. Project Initiation, Coordination, and Data Collection
Coordination with Village Staff and stakeholders to discuss specific areas of concern will be key to
implementing a successful project. The following tasks are anticipated during this phase of the
project:
1. Representatives from GHA will attend a kick-off meeting with Village staff prior to commencing
field data collection services as needed.
2. GHA will collect and review all available data provided by the Village and others, for possible
inclusion into the current design effort.
3. GHA staff will visually assess and quantify the anticipated repairs for the roadway work within
the planned project limits to create the necessary construction documents.
B. Plans and Specifications
1. Following our review and repair assessments, GHA will begin the development of the
preliminary special provisions specific to the Village portion of the work. Typical cross sections,
details, design layout plans, and summary repair tables will be created as needed to provide
the contractor with sufficient information for bidding. We will prepare the necessary special
provisions utilizing our standard IDOT Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) format and submit to the Village
for review.
2. As part of this work, a preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost of the Village of
Mundelein portion of work will be prepared to assist in any final design decisions.
December 19, 2025 GHA Proposal No. 2026.M003 Page 2 of 5
Page 188 of 321
C. Final Document Preparation
1. Upon receipt of any Village review comments, the final special provisions specific to the Village
of Mundelein portions of the project will be prepared for all work items in accordance with IDOT
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, as well as the Village’s
requirements.
2. GHA will develop a final Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost of the Village of Mundelein
portion of work utilizing the estimated quantities, our internal database of unit rates from similar
projects, market conditions, and other factors. This will be submitted to the Village for review.
D. Project Management and Design Meetings
1. Representatives from GHA will attend progress meetings with Village staff at the 80% and the
100% completion submittals.
E. Material Testing Services
GHA has included an estimated allowance for pavement coring services and will retain a qualified
firm directly. The Village will be billed for actual testing completed.
III. Compensation for Services
GHA proposes to provide the above services on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis for a not-to-exceed
(NTE) fee of $19,805.00. Subconsultant services are included in this fee and will be processed with a 10%
markup. Reimbursable expenses, including items such as printing, messenger service, mileage, etc., are
included in this fee and will be billed to the Client without markup.
All services, including any additional services requested and authorized by the Village, will be billed in
accordance with the hourly rates currently on file with the Village.
IV. Notes, Clarifications and Assumptions
1. Services beyond those specified in II. Scope of Services are not included and will be billed on
a time-and-materials (T&M) basis as an additional service.
2. Environmental assessments, wetland delineations or permitting are not included.
3. Construction bid documents and specifications will not be created as part of this work. Only the
Village portion of improvement documents are being prepared. Final creation and processing
of contract bid documents will be completed under a separate contract.
4. All work will be performed on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis, in accordance with the total
estimated fees as detailed above.
5. Our estimated fees assume that all street improvements will be designed in 2025-2026 under a
single engineering contract. An increase or reduction to the scope of the project may require
adjustments to our fees.
6. The Client will be responsible for all bid advertising costs (none anticipated).
7. No construction layout or construction engineering services are included.
8. No Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) investigations will be conducted.

From: Lynne Monroe, Assistant Village Administrator
For: Village Board Meeting of January 12, 2026
Subject: Amending Village Code: Administrative Adjudication
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
This recommendation to amend the ordinance is being made to reduce spending for certified mail,
return signature required notices relating to Administrative Tows. The amendment conforms with
the Illinois statute for notice and will reduce the cost of postage by $10.50 - $22.00 per case. Most
instances require notice to the registered owner/lessee and the lienholder. This will result in a
reduction of postage by $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 per year.
During the process of reviewing the ordinance for these changes, we discovered a provision for the
suspension of a driver’s license for non-payment of citations still exists despite the fact the state law
granting authority was repealed in July 2021.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Chapter 2.101 of the Mundelein Municipal Code to replace
certified mail with first-class mail for service of administrative notices and remove outdated language
regarding driver’s license suspension, including repeal Section 2.101.120.

Background:
The budget proposes an amount for procurement of Geographic Information System (GIS) services
through membership in the GIS Consortium (GISC). Since joining, the GISC has provided the Village
with resources that are utilized by the entire organization as well as the community. The system
provides residents with a single-point resource for information related to their parcel or any parcel in
the Village. For internal staff, the system is a vital resource that reduces field time with the myriad of
tools available. The Village's GIS specialist also provides the Village with a monthly report that
provides a status summary of ongoing GIS projects and the costs savings generated from the use of
the product. The contract for FY2027 is proposed to be 3.5% higher than FY2026 due to inflationary
adjustments to the vendor's labor rates and third-party services.
The agreement for the calendar year 2026 must be executed at this time. Payment will be made
from the 2026/2027 Budgeted funds.
Recommendation:
Motion to authorize the Business Services Manager to sign the annual service provider contract with
the Village's GIS Consortium Service Provider, Municipal GIS Partners, Inc.

equipment. This item will be funded by the JCLC ETSB funds.
