Special Use Permit to operate an Outdoor Retail Sales business (seasonal outdoor garden center) in the B-2 General Business District. Background of Subject Matter The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Clovers Garden Center, an outdoor retails sales business, to sell plants, garden products, and seasonal decorations, in the B-2 General Business District. Though there already is an existing approved Special Use Permit for Clovers, the addition of a second greenhouse space and staging area triggers the requirement for a new Special Use Permit to be requested (Ch. 95, Sec. 14.04(L)). Additional Background A new Special Use Permit is being requested to accommodate a second fenced-in work area, measuring 60 feet wide by 120 feet deep, and accessed by a 12 foot gate on the east side. This secondary area will be used for plant holding, protecting temperature-sensitive plants, staging of online and phone orders, as well as larger special orders, and related preparation activities. The area will include a 28 foot by 78 foot greenhouse, and will be enclosed by a six foot cyclone-style fence. With approximately 146 parking spaces available when both operations are active, the site exceeds the minimum requirement of 121 spaces. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during its regular meeting on March 11, 2026. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the petitioner's request, subject to the staff- recommended conditions detailed in Section III (C) of the Memo. No one from the public spoke. Type Ordinance Budgeted b. South Fire Station Headquarters Zoning Entitlements Board to consider an ordinance approving requests from the Village of Westmont for the properties at 6015 South Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following: 1. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public; 2. Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone the properties from the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District, the R-4 General Residential District, and the C-1 Commercial District to the P/I Public and Institutional District; 3. Preliminary Plan and Final Plat of Subdivision to consolidate four (4) lots into one (1) lot; 4. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency Generator; 5. Major Site Plan. Background of Subject Matter The petitioner is requesting approval for several actions related to the redevelopment of 6015 South Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane. The Village of Westmont is proposing to replace the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a new fire station facility, along with associated improvements to the parking lot, signage, fencing, the emergency generator, and landscaping. Additional Background Aside from the requested variance, the site plan substantially conforms to the Village’s Design Guidelines for this Gateway and Corridor area. All public improvements required under Appendix B of the Village’s Municipal Code are already in place. Pending approval of the rezoning, the site plan meets all applicable standards of the P/I Zoning District, including setbacks, lighting, parking, and landscaping. The preliminary plan, consisting of the final plat, has also been submitted for review and substantially complies with the requirements of the P/I District. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing for this request at its regular meeting on March 11, 2026. All requested items were recommended for approval, with one condition: staff is authorized to administratively approve future changes to the Major Site plan including: the landscape plan (specifically plant type and location) and the site plan (specifically perimeter fencing). A revised site plan has been provided. Two items received one dissenting vote: The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public and the Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency Generator. Three residents spoke during the hearing and had questions answered. Type Ordinance Budgeted c. Appropriations Ordinance for the Village's Fiscal Year 1/1/2026-12/31/2025 Board to consider an ordinance adopting the 1/1/2026 - 12/31/2026 fiscal year appropriation ordinance. Background of Subject Matter In accordance with state statute, the Village must adopt an appropriation ordinance during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The appropriation ordinance is the legal limit of the maximum amount that can be spent if sufficient funds are available. Additional Background The appropriation ordinance should exceed the expected amount to be spent. The budget is the financial plan of what the Village intends to spend, while the appropriation ordinance is the legal limit that can be spent if changes and circumstances dictate as such. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted d. Intent-to-Reimburse Resolution Board to consider a resolution expressing intent regarding expenditures to be reimbursed from Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues. Background of Subject Matter In previous Administration/Finance Committee meetings the Village Board has discussed the possibility of enacting a new TIF to provide for additional development in the downtown. This resolution would allow the Village to reimburse itself from eligible TIF expenses either from the existing TIF or from the new TIF. The eligible TIF expenses would include costs related to the project at 1 N Cass, a potential project that could include properties at 1 S Cass and 20 E Quincy, and other eligible TIF expenses. Additional Background This does not force the Village to implement a TIF or approve any specific projects. It is just a tool that will allow us to utilize potential TIF Revenues for reimbursement if needed. Recommendation Approval Type Resolution Budgeted e. Purchase of Real Estate Board to consider an ordinance approving a real estate agreement for the purchase of property located at 20 E. Quincy Street, Westmont, Illinois. Background of Subject Matter The Village is seeking approval of a real estate agreement to purchase 20 E. Quincy Street. The property consists of approximately 1.5 acres. The Village ordered an appraisal of the property, and the sales price ($3,015,000.00) equals the appraised value. The agreement sets a closing date of 1/29/27. The affirmative vote of 2/3rds of the Corporate Authorities is required to approve this agreement. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted f. IRMA Withdrawal Resolution 2026 Board to consider a motion approving a Resolution authorizing the Village to issue a Withdrawal Notice to the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (“IRMA”). Background of Subject Matter The Village is one of the original members of IRMA, which serves as the Village’s primary risk management agency and insurance carrier. The Village is currently performing a due diligence investigation into the pricing and services provided by IRMA, as well as other potential risk management agencies and insurance carriers. The purpose of this due diligence investigation is to ensure that the Village has complete and comprehensive insurance coverage at the most competitive cost to its taxpayers. If the Village determines that it is in the best interests of the Village and its taxpayers to obtain insurance coverage through a new risk management agency or insurance carrier, it must pass a resolution authorizing the Village to issue a Withdrawal Notice to IRMA.. Additional Background Pursuant to IRMA’s contract and by-laws, the Village must provide its Withdrawal Notice to IRMA at least 120 days prior to withdrawing as a member. Additionally, the Withdrawal Notice must be provided to IRMA at least 9 months before the end of IRMA’s current fiscal year in order for the Village to receive the remaining balance of its member Reserve Account. Upon the passage of this resolution and the providing of the Withdrawal Notice to IRMA, the Village retains the right to rescind the Withdrawal Notice at least 120 days before the end of IRMA’s fiscal year if the Village determines that remaining as a member of IRMA is in the best interests of the Village and its taxpayers.

The area will include a 28 foot by 78 foot greenhouse, and will be enclosed by a six foot cyclone-style fence. With approximately 146 parking spaces available when both operations are active, the site exceeds the minimum requirement of 121 spaces. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during its regular meeting on March 11, 2026. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the petitioner's request, subject to the staff- Page 3 of 140 recommended conditions detailed in Section III (C) of the Memo. No one from the public spoke. Type Ordinance Budgeted b. South Fire Station Headquarters Zoning Entitlements Board to consider an ordinance approving requests from the Village of Westmont for the properties at 6015 South Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following: 1. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public; 2. Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone the properties from the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District, the R-4 General Residential District, and the C-1 Commercial District to the P/I Public and Institutional District; 3. Preliminary Plan and Final Plat of Subdivision to consolidate four (4) lots into one (1) lot; 4. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency Generator; 5. Major Site Plan. Background of Subject Matter The petitioner is requesting approval for several actions related to the redevelopment of 6015 South Cass Avenue, 6101 South Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane. The Village of Westmont is proposing to replace the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a new fire station facility, along with associated improvements to the parking lot, signage, fencing, the emergency generator, and landscaping. Additional Background Aside from the requested variance, the site plan substantially conforms to the Village’s Design Guidelines for this Gateway and Corridor area. All public improvements required under Appendix B of the Village’s Municipal Code are already in place. Pending approval of the rezoning, the site plan meets all applicable standards of the P/I Zoning District, including setbacks, lighting, parking, and landscaping. The preliminary plan, consisting of the final plat, has also been submitted for review and substantially complies with the requirements of the P/I District. Recommendation The Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing for this request at its regular meeting on March 11, 2026. All requested items were recommended for approval, with one condition: staff is authorized to administratively approve future changes to the Major Site plan including: the landscape plan (specifically plant type and location) and the site plan (specifically perimeter fencing). A revised site plan has been provided. Page 4 of 140 Two items received one dissenting vote: The Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public and the Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency Generator. Three residents spoke during the hearing and had questions answered. Type Ordinance Budgeted c. Appropriations Ordinance for the Village's Fiscal Year 1/1/2026-12/31/2025 Board to consider an ordinance adopting the 1/1/2026 - 12/31/2026 fiscal year appropriation ordinance. Background of Subject Matter In accordance with state statute, the Village must adopt an appropriation ordinance during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The appropriation ordinance is the legal limit of the maximum amount that can be spent if sufficient funds are available. Additional Background The appropriation ordinance should exceed the expected amount to be spent. The budget is the financial plan of what the Village intends to spend, while the appropriation ordinance is the legal limit that can be spent if changes and circumstances dictate as such. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted d. Intent-to-Reimburse Resolution Board to consider a resolution expressing intent regarding expenditures to be reimbursed from Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues. Background of Subject Matter In previous Administration/Finance Committee meetings the Village Board has discussed the possibility of enacting a new TIF to provide for additional development in the downtown. This resolution would allow the Village to reimburse itself from eligible TIF expenses either from the existing TIF or from the new TIF. The eligible TIF expenses would include costs related to the project at 1 N Cass, a potential project that could include properties at 1 S Cass and 20 E Quincy, and other eligible TIF expenses. Additional Background This does not force the Village to implement a TIF or approve any specific Page 5 of 140 projects. It is just a tool that will allow us to utilize potential TIF Revenues for reimbursement if needed. Recommendation Approval Type Resolution Budgeted e. Purchase of Real Estate Board to consider an ordinance approving a real estate agreement for the purchase of property located at 20 E. Quincy Street, Westmont, Illinois. Background of Subject Matter The Village is seeking approval of a real estate agreement to purchase 20 E. Quincy Street. The property consists of approximately 1.5 acres. The Village ordered an appraisal of the property, and the sales price ($3,015,000.00) equals the appraised value. The agreement sets a closing date of 1/29/27. The affirmative vote of 2/3rds of the Corporate Authorities is required to approve this agreement. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted f. IRMA Withdrawal Resolution 2026 Board to consider a motion approving a Resolution authorizing the Village to issue a Withdrawal Notice to the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (“IRMA”). Background of Subject Matter The Village is one of the original members of IRMA, which serves as the Village’s primary risk management agency and insurance carrier. The Village is currently performing a due diligence investigation into the pricing and services provided by IRMA, as well as other potential risk management agencies and insurance carriers. The purpose of this due diligence investigation is to ensure that the Village has complete and comprehensive insurance coverage at the most competitive cost to its taxpayers. If the Village determines that it is in the best interests of the Village and its taxpayers to obtain insurance coverage through a new risk management agency or insurance carrier, it must pass a resolution authorizing the Village to issue a Withdrawal Notice to IRMA.. Additional Background Pursuant to IRMA’s contract and by-laws, the Village must provide its Withdrawal Notice to IRMA at least 120 days prior to withdrawing as a Page 6 of 140 member. Additionally, the Withdrawal Notice must be provided to IRMA at least 9 months before the end of IRMA’s current fiscal year in order for the Village to receive the remaining balance of its member Reserve Account. Upon the passage of this resolution and the providing of the Withdrawal Notice to IRMA, the Village retains the right to rescind the Withdrawal Notice at least 120 days before the end of IRMA’s fiscal year if the Village determines that remaining as a member of IRMA is in the best interests of the Village and its taxpayers. Recommendation Approve Type Resolution Budgeted g. Special Counsel Appointment Board to consider a motion confirming the Mayor’s appointment of special counsel to the Village for labor relations matters. Background of Subject Matter This special counsel is required for specialized labor work for the Village. Recommendation Approve Type Motion Budgeted h. Surplus Property - Public Works Department Board to consider an ordinance to declare outdated, unused items from the Fleet Division of the Public Works Department as surplus. Background of Subject Matter The Village of Westmont Fleet Division of the Public Works Department requests that the attached list of items that are outdated, unused and/or non-functioning be declared as surplus. Surplus items are to be removed from the Village's inventory and disposed of with the Village Board's authority by the Village Manager in the manner determined to be the most appropriate. Recommendation Approve Type Ordinance Budgeted Page 7 of 140 i. 2026 Zoning Map Board to consider an ordinance approving the revised Zoning Map dated March 10, 2026 as the official 2026 Zoning Map for the Village of Westmont. Background of Subject Matter State statute requires corporate authorities to publish a map showing existing zoning uses, division, restrictions, regulations, and classifications of the municipality for the preceding calendar year.

This includes restaurants, retail, services, and auto dealerships. The commercial properties lining Ogden Avenue serve as a buffer between the busy arterial road and the established single-family residential neighborhood to the south. A majority of the lot is dedicated to Suburbanite Bowl, but the parking lot at 209 West Ogden has been the seasonal home for Clovers’ operations for decades. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 005-2026​ ​ Page 2 of 6 Page 20 of 140 209 West Ogden Avenue (Fall 2024 setup, view from Ogden Avenue, source: Google Street View) D.​ Previous Zoning Approvals ​ Clovers Garden Center has been operating in the parking lot at 209 West Ogden Avenue since the spring of 1999.

Two operating periods were allowed for this approval, the first from March 15th to October 31st and a second for November 17th to December 26th. ●​ Ord. 17-037: Renewed the Special Use Permit for another 5 year period, limiting operations to be between March 15th and October 31st. ●​ Ord. 2021-147: Allowed for the Special Use Permit to be automatically renewed annually instead of requesting re-approval every 5 years, and no time limitation on sales. However, sales were explicitly restricted to occur only on 209 West Ogden Avenue in the same area as it was allowed in previous years. II.​ PETITIONER REQUEST: The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Clovers Garden Center, an outdoor retails sales business, to sell plants, garden products, and seasonal decorations, in the B-2 General Business District. Though there already is an existing approved Special Use Permit for Clovers, the addition of a second greenhouse space and staging area triggers the requirement for a new Special Use Permit to be requested (Ch. 95, Sec. 14.04(L)).​ III.​ ZONING ANALYSIS A.​ Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations The current zoning of the property is B-2 General Business District, which is intended for highway-oriented retail businesses and general business activity. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use in this area as Corridor Commercial, which is a designation that should see businesses that serve both the daily needs of Westmont residents and serve as a destination for a larger market. Furthermore, the subject properties are located within the Ogden Avenue subarea. A part of the Local Commercial Area, small retail businesses, such as Clovers, should have minimal impacts on adjacent residences. B.​ Entitlement Request The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following request, including the necessary responses to the Special Use Standards. Any corresponding standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B) below. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 005-2026​ ​ Page 3 of 6 Page 21 of 140 ●​ Special Use Permit to operate an Outdoor Retail Sales business (seasonal outdoor garden center) in the B-2 General Business District Chapter 95, Section 6.01 requires that all outdoor retail sales businesses obtain a Special Use Permit in the B-2 District to assess impacts like parking, traffic, activities, operating hours, and the site plan. Existing Operations to be Continued The petitioner describes the Clovers Garden Center business model as a seasonal outdoor retail sales operation. Clovers sells plants, garden products, and seasonal decorations directly to customers on-site, while also accepting orders placed online or over the phone. Similar to previous seasons, the customer-facing retail activity will continue to take place in the area adjacent to Ogden Avenue. This fenced-in area is approximately 65 feet by 235 feet, and includes a greenhouse. New Operations Requested to be Added A new Special Use Permit is being requested to accommodate a second fenced-in work area, measuring 60 feet wide by 120 feet deep, and accessed by a 12 foot gate on the east side. This secondary area will be used for plant holding, protecting temperature-sensitive plants, staging of online and phone orders, as well as larger special orders, and related preparation activities. The area will include a 28 foot by 78 foot greenhouse, and will be enclosed by a six foot cyclone-style fence. Both the greenhouse and the fence will be similar in design and construction type as the greenhousing and fencing that has been used in previous years. The petitioner anticipates five to 12 employees on-site between both areas, with only employees having access to the secondary area. In addition to being fenced-in, the petitioner anticipates using additional protective measures like wheel stops, bumpers, and/or temporary barricades, as appropriate. Occasionally, special orders may be fulfilled using local courier services, UPS or Amazon, or DoorDash, but not by freight trucks or semi-trailers. Consistent with the previous seasons, equipment will be present on-site from March 15th to November 15th; however, the secondary space would not be installed until after Village Board approval. As shown in the submitted site plan, the secondary area will be located in the southwest corner of the property, taking up approximately 20 parking spaces and one drive aisle. Four drive aisles will still remain accessible to vehicles, which are also the ones closest to the bowling alley’s main entrance. Chapter 95, Section 9.02 mandates 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for both indoor participant entertainment uses (bowling alley) and retail, including outdoor retail sales (Clovers). The property has approximately 186 parking spaces in total. However, the proposed seasonal outdoor retail expansion and existing outdoor area would utilize approximately 40 spaces. Therefore, when both uses are operating, the readily available parking spaces would be reduced to 146. Since approximately 146 spaces will be provided when both uses are operating, the uses on the property meet the minimum parking requirement of 121 spaces. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 005-2026​ ​ Page 4 of 6 Page 22 of 140 Parking Calculation Summary: ​ Use Required Spaces (min. 2.5 per 1,000 sq ft) Bowling Alley (Suburbanite Bowl) ~ 81 Outdoor Retail (Clover’s) ~ 40 Total Required ~ 121 Total provided 146 (when both uses operating) The use must be considered to the Special Use standards, which are listed below: Special Use Permit Review and Approval Criteria (Sec. 14.04(H)): No special use may be recommended for approval or approved unless the respective review or decision-making body determines that the proposed special use is consistent with and in substantial compliance with all village ordinances and regulations and that the applicant has presented evidence to support each of the following conclusions: (1)​ That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this zoning ordinance as a special use; (2)​ That the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility that is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community; (3)​ That the proposed use will not, in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be injurious to property values or improvements in the vicinity; (4)​ That approval of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district; (5)​ That the proposed special use will be served by adequate utilities, access roads, parking, drainage and other important and necessary facilities, infrastructure and community services; and (6)​ That the proposed special use complies with all applicable regulations of this zoning ordinance except as expressly approved in accordance with the procedures of this zoning ordinance. C.​ Recommended Conditions of Approval Previous ordinances for Clovers’ Special Use Permits included conditions of approval. The following are proposed to be consistent with the most recent approval while accommodating practical alterations to the site. A.​ Applicant’s outdoor retail operations shall be limited to the parking areas on the Subject Property identified in the plans submitted with this request. These areas may be re-oriented or otherwise adjusted, provided such modifications do not adversely affect drive aisles or reduce on‑site parking below the minimum required, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Any expansion or modification beyond these allowable adjustments shall require an amendment to the approved special use permit. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 005-2026​ ​ Page 5 of 6 Page 23 of 140 B.​ This special use approval is for a one-year period on the following dates of the year: March 15th to November 15th, and said one-year period shall automatically renew for continuing one-year periods. C.​ However, this automatic renewal is subject to and limited by the right of the Village of Westmont Board of Trustees to annually review this special use and Applicant' s operations, and to either modify or add to the special conditions of this approval, or to revoke this approval, should any one or more of the following occur: 1.​ Applicant is unable or otherwise fails to comply with any original, modified, or new special conditions imposed as part of this special use approval; and/ or 2.​ The Board of Trustees determines that conditions or zoning of the Subject Properties have changed, and/or the conditions or zoning of surrounding properties have changed, and/or the special use is creating unique and adverse impacts on the Subject Properties or surrounding properties that were not originally anticipated upon this special use approval. D.​ No action to modify or revoke this special use shall occur by the Board of Trustees until the Board of Trustees conducts a hearing on any such action, (in addition to any other public hearing that may be required by law), with advance written notice to Applicant, and with an opportunity for Applicant to be heard, to call witnesses, and to present evidence. Should the Planning & Zoning Commission agree with the recommended conditions, the motion should be amended to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit request, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report or modified conditions as deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or Village Board. IV.​ SUMMARY The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate Clovers Garden Center, an outdoor retail sales business, in the B-2 General Business District. If approved, the Special Use Permit would allow for customer-facing sales to occur at 209 West Ogden Avenue and a secondary staging area in the southwest corner of 201 West Ogden Avenue. Recommended conditions of approval have been listed in Section III(C), which largely match the conditions placed on the most recent Special Use Permit approval. The request complies with both the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan, and is subject to the standards of Special Use Permit approval.

Ogden Avenue and 209 W. Ogden Avenue, Westmont, Illinois. Request for a special use permit to operate an outdoor retail sales business (seasonal outdoor garden center) in the B-2 General Business District. CRITERIA NO. 1: That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this zoning ordinance as a special use. FINDINGS OF FACT: Article VI, Table VI-1 “Table of Allowed Uses” of the Zoning Ordinance specifically lists an outdoor retail sales business as a use that is allowed in the B-2 General Business District pursuant to a special use permit. Section 6.04(O)(2)(b) defines outdoor retail sales uses, and this subsection lists “garden centers” as a type of outdoor retail sales use. CRITERIA NO. 2: That the proposed use at the proposed location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility that is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community. FINDINGS OF FACT: The Petitioner has successfully operated its seasonal outdoor garden center in the parking lot of 209 W. Ogden Avenue since 1999 pursuant to an approved special use permit, which was amended and/or extended by the Village Board of Trustees on multiple occasions. This garden center serves the gardening and planting needs of both Westmont residents and residents of the surrounding area. Petitioner proposes to expand its garden center, and this expanded garden center is desirable at this location as it is the only garden center located in Westmont. This garden center contributes to the general welfare of the community by offering perennial plants, flowers, vegetable plants, seeds, and related gardening items and décor for sale, and these products promote a greener and healthier community. CRITERIA NO. 3: That the proposed use will not, in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be injurious to property values or improvements in the vicinity. FINDINGS OF FACT: Petitioner’s business has operated for decades at this location without adversely impacting the health, safety, or general welfare of people living and working in the vicinity and without adversely impacting property values or improvements in the area. Petitioner’s expanded operations will be fenced and secure and will enable Petitioner to more adequately handle on-line and delivery orders and will improve Petitioner’s organization and workflow. The properties will still contain sufficient off-street parking and drive aisles, and the expanded operations are not expected to generate adverse traffic, noise, light, odor, or other Page 25 of 140 adverse impacts to nearby properties. CRITERIA NO. 4: That approval of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. FINDINGS OF FACT: Surrounding properties are fully developed. The granting of this special use permit to allow Petitioner to expand its operations will not impact the ability of surrounding properties to redevelop. CRITERIA NO. 5: That the proposed special use will be served by adequate utilities, access roads, parking, drainage and other important and necessary facilities, infrastructure and community services. FINDINGS OF FACT: The properties used by Petitioner will contain an excess of off- street parking spaces, and sufficient drive aisles will be maintained for traffic circulation and emergency vehicle access. The 2 areas of Petitioner’s garden center will be fenced and served by existing electrical and water facilities. The properties contain sufficient means for ingress and egress of vehicles, and the properties are accessible to pedestrians by an existing system of public sidewalks. No new infrastructure facilities or utilities are required for this use, and this use will not strain public services. CRITERIA NO. 6: That the proposed special use complies with all applicable regulations of this zoning ordinance except as expressly approved in accordance with the procedures of this zoning ordinance. FINDINGS OF FACT: This proposed garden center at this location on the properties complies with all other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and no other zoning approvals are required.

Cass Avenue, 6101 S. Cass Avenue, and 1000 Beninford Lane, Westmont, Illinois Request for a variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an emergency generator that will serve the new proposed Westmont Fire Department headquarters. (1) Particular Hardship or Practical Difficulty The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would create a particular hardship or a practical difficulty. FINDINGS: The Fire Department requires a generator of sufficient capacity to supply power to the Fire Station during emergencies. In order to meet the critical operations power systems requirements of the National Electric Code, which is the applicable standard for this generator, the generator must supply power for at least a 72 hour period. The Fire Department can only meet this standard by using a diesel generator of this size. In working with the architect for this project, the proposed location of this generator is the only feasible location given other site requirements. If the Fire Department were required to strictly comply with Zoning Ordinance requirements for generators, it would not have sufficient power for its facility in the event of an emergency, and it would not be able to provide critical life-safety services to the residents of Westmont. (2) Unique Physical Condition The applicant must demonstrate that the subject property is exceptional as compared to other lots subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or nonconforming; irregular or substandard shape or size; exceptional topographical features; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the subject property that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that relate to or arise out of the subject lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner of the lot. FINDINGS: Based on the building size and location, the oversized drive aisles for emergency vehicles, the off-street parking requirements, and other needed improvements, this is the only location for the proposed generator that makes practical sense. The use of this property as a fire station providing critical life-safety services to the public makes this property unique. The property has been the site of a fire station, with a generator, for more than 30 years. Page 50 of 140 (3) Not Self-Created The applicant must demonstrate that the unique physical condition is not the result of any action or inaction of the owner, or of the owner's predecessors in title and known to the owner before acquisition of the subject property, and existed at the time of the enactment of the provisions from which a variance is sought or was created by natural forces or was the result of governmental action for which no compensation was paid. FINDINGS: The property has been the site of a fire station, with a generator, for more than 30 years without issue. The Applicant is proposing to continue this use at this location with a new Fire Station that is necessary to provide critical life-safety services to the public. The need for a generator of this size and with this fuel type is necessary to comply with applicable codes and in order to sufficiently power the Fire Station in the event of an emergency. The need for this generator is not self-created. (4) Denied Substantial Rights The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would deprive the subject property owner of substantial rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same regulation. FINDINGS: All fire stations must have a generator of sufficient size and with a sufficient fuel type for emergency power, and the Applicant’s requests in this regard are not unique compared to other fire stations throughout the State. (5) Not Merely Special Privilege The applicant must demonstrate that the alleged particular hardship or practical difficulty is not merely the inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor merely an inability to make more money from use of the subject property. FINDINGS: This Fire Station is unique compared to other uses and properties in that its purpose is to provide critical life-safety services to Westmont residents and the surrounding area. The Applicant is not seeking a special privilege but instead is ensuring that it has the ability to render these critical services in the event of an emergency. (6) Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that would not be in harmony with the general and specific purposes of this zoning ordinance. Page 51 of 140 FINDINGS: The underlying public use of this property as a Fire Station is consistent with the proposed rezoning of the property for a Public/Semi-Public use. A generator of this size and type is a necessary accessory use. A fire station with a generator has operated from this property for over 30 years. This public service use of the property is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance. (7) Essential Character of the Area The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that: (a) Would be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements permitted in the vicinity; (b) Would materially impair an adequate supply of light and air to the properties and improvements in the vicinity; (c) Would unduly increase the danger of flooding or fire; (d) Would unduly tax public utilities and facilities in the area; or (e) Would endanger the public health or safety. FINDINGS: This public safety facility will not be detrimental to the public welfare or impair the enjoyment, use, development, or value of surrounding properties. This use will enhance the public welfare and safety. A generator of this size and fuel type, and at this location, will ensure that the Fire Department can provide critical life-safety services to the public in the event of an emergency. This generator with the proposed screening will not impair light or air to surrounding properties, will not increase the risk of flooding or fire, will not unduly tax or impact public utilities and facilities in the area, and will promote, not endanger, the public health and safety. The generator will be fully screened, and the noise level of this generator is not expected to exceed 70 decibels. (8) No Other Remedy The applicant must demonstrate that there is no means other than the requested variance by which the alleged hardship or practical difficulty can be avoided or remedied to a degree sufficient to permit a reasonable use of the subject property. FINDINGS: Emergency standby power/critical operations powers systems is a requirement for a facility such as the Fire Station. A smaller generator with a different fuel type would not meet the required standards for this emergency generator, and there is no other feasible location on the property for this generator.

Map amendments may be initiated by the Board of Trustees, Planning and Zoning Commission, the zoning administrator, or by a property owner. Proposed Rezoning Detailed Description State the reasoning for requesting the map amendment. Describe any change in use, construction plans, or any other improvement to be completed if the rezoning is approved. For over thirty years 6015 South Cass Avenue has been the Village's Headquarters Fire Station. A new Fire Station will replace the existing to better meet the needs of the Village and its' residents. The current site is zoned as R-3 (single family detached), the petitioner (Village of Westmont) is requesting that the site be property zoned as P/I (Public and Institutional District). This zoning request is due to the current use of the site as a commercial property owned by the Village of Westmont. The adjacent properties at 6101 South Cass Avenue (zoned C-1 Commercial) and 1000 Beninford Lane (zoned R-4 General Residential) are owned by the Village and serve as stormwater detention. The detention facilities are proposed to be retained. Once these lots are consolidated into one, they will all be zoned P/I to avoid split-zoning. Comprehensive Plan amendments are being requested for these properties from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public to reflect their current use. In the table below, please identify the current zoning and land use of the adjacent properties. A PDF of the Zoning Map can be found on the Village of Westmont’s website under the Community Development page.

The Village owns the current properties that are zoned to three separate zoning districts (single-unit residential, general residential, and commercial). The regulations of the current zoning districts do not reflect the actual use of the property. 2.​ Explain the extent to which any diminution in property value is offset by an increase in the public health, safety, and welfare, if the amendment is approved. The property is utilized as a fire station, to maintain response times the property will be rezoned to legally house a fire station. As stated on the Village website "P/I district has setbacks, height limits, and similar regulations tailored to the needs of institutional uses. The goal of the district is to be more accommodating for these uses, which should make building new facilities or improving existing ones simpler." 3.​ Explain the suitability of the subject property for its zoned purposes and the length of time the subject property has been vacant as zoned, considering the context of land development in the vicinity. The property is municipal owned and has been used as a fire station for over thirty years. 4.​ Explain the value to the community of the proposed zoning map amendment. The property will be properly zoned as P/I for the current and proposed use. Once rezoned, the property will be regulated by zoning restrictions specifically tailored for public and institutional uses such as the fire station. 5.​ Explain how the proposed map amendment and the future use of the property relates to the Comprehensive Plan’s Proposed Land Use Plan and the subarea plan, if the property is in a subarea. The Comprehensive Plan can be found on the Village of Westmont’s website under the Community Development page. The future land use plan says the Public/Semi Public is an appropriate land use 6015 S Cass Ave. Comprehensive Plan amendments are being requested for 6101 S Cass Ave and 1000 Beninford Ln, as the plan states that General Commercial and Parks/Open Space are appropriate future land uses, respectively. Once approved, the amendments would reflect that the Village owns all of these properties and that the future land use of the property is unified. Notes: 1.​ Valid protest petitions may be filed against any proposed zoning map amendment. Please see Chapter 95, Section 14.02(G) for more information. 2.​ Please be advised that the review and decision-making bodies are expressly authorized to recommend and approve a less intensive zoning district classification than the zoning district that was described in the required public notices. ​ MA-2 Page 62 of 140 PZC Case Number (office use only): PZC 004-2026 Application for Site and Landscaping Plan Review Site and landscaping plan review and approval is required to ensure the use and development of land, as authorized under the Zoning Ordinance, is undertaken in a proper manner. This could include furthering public health, safety and welfare, making adequate provisions for assuring the availability of appropriate public and private services and amenities, and for minimizing the adverse effects of such development. The use of site and landscaping plan review is also intended to prevent deterioration of the function, character and appearance of the Village; provide a favorable environment for residents and businesses; and protect property values within Westmont. Conditions of approval may be placed on site plan approvals to ensure any negative impacts associated with the development are mitigated or eliminated. Site plan approval is required for development under the following situations: ● Construction or enlargement of a principal building occupied by 3 or more dwelling units or the addition of more than 1,000 square feet of impervious surface on any lot occupied by 3 or more dwelling units ● Construction or enlargement of a principal building occupied by one or more nonresidential uses or the addition of more than 1,000 square feet of impervious surface on any lot occupied by a nonresidential use ● Reconstruction or replacement of more than 50% of the street-facing facade of any principal building in a downtown zoning district ● Any other use or activity for which site plan approval is expressly required in the zoning ordinance Site Plan Review Processes Site plans are split into two categories: major and administrative. Major site plans are when ● Construction of any new building subject to site plan review that exceeds more than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area ● Enlargements of any existing buildings subject to site plan review that results in the addition of more than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area ● Site plans that qualify as administrative site plans but which are referred by the zoning administrator for processing as a major site plan due to potential adverse impacts on neighboring properties or noncompliance with applicable zoning or other village regulations ● Any other activities for which major site plan is expressly identified in the zoning ordinance SLP-1 Page 63 of 140 Village of Westmont - Application for Site & Landscaping Plan Review Proposed Project Detailed Description State the scope of the work, noting the gross floor area, number of dwelling or commercial units, etc. Attach such diagrams, drawings or other information as may be useful to the Planning and Zoning Commission in understanding the request.

In these cases, an exception to the rule, called a variance, can be requested and granted when particular conditions are met. The petitioner has the responsibility of justifying the request to both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board. There is a set of standards for variances and the applicant must demonstrate a hardship that they did not create. Proposed Project and Variance Details State the scope of the work and indicate the specific variation you are requesting. Attach such diagrams, drawings or other information as may be useful to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board in understanding your variation. You must indicate the specific sections of the Village’s Zoning Ordinance for which the variation is sought. Please consult Village staff for confirmation. The new Fire Station Headquarters is located at 6015 South Cass Avenue. The first floor is 25,412 square feet, the second floor is 4,598 square feet, the basement is 4,601 square feet. The total building area with the apparatus mezzanine is 35,504 square feet. The North end of the building will house the Fire living quarters, South of the living quarters are five drive-through apparatus bays. The South end of the building is the public the entrance of the building with a training room on the first floor and administration offices on the second floor. The basement will be utilized for storage. Due to this building's public safety function, and necessity for use during emergencies, an emergency standby generator to power the building is needed. The generator will be sized for the entire building and will be larger than that typically used to power residential structures. The proposed generator will be 350KW with a 1900 gallon UL142 double walled fuel tank. The fuel tank will provide 72 hours of generator power to meet critical operations power systems (COPS) requirements as defined by NEC article 708. The total dimensions of the generator, fuel tank and sound attenuated enclosure is 7'w x 21'l x 11' high. The generator noise will be attenuated to 70 decibels, which is approximately the level of sound of a vacuum cleaner or washing machine. The following variations to the Zoning Code section 7.16 Generators are requested as follows: 1. The zoning code indicates natural gas or propane fuel. Use of a diesel generator to meet COPS requirements is requested. 2. Size of the generator and enclosure will exceed 30 sf and 5' in height. A variation to the size limitations is requested. Findings of Fact The Village of Westmont is obligated to make specific findings of fact for all variance applications according to the Village Zoning Ordinance and Illinois State Statutes. The Planning and Zoning Commission must find evidence that the request meets the eight standards of variance defined in the Village’s Zoning Ordinance. Applicants are REQUIRED to submit written evidence and/or analysis of the standards for EACH variance below. Additionally, applicants are strongly encouraged to review the standards of variance in preparation of a defense for their variance request during the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing.1 If multiple variances are being requested, respond to each standard separately. Attach as many sheets as necessary. 1 Standards for Variations pursuant to Chapter 95 - Zoning, Sec. 14.06(H) Standards and Review Criteria VAR-1 Page 65 of 140 Village of Westmont - Application for Variance 1. Practical Hardship or Practical Difficulty: The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would create a particular hardship or particular difficulty. Adherence to sec 7.16 of the zoning code would not allow a generator of sufficient capacity to power the Fire Station during emergencies to be installed. The fire station is a critical facility for the Village's residents, and ensuring power to the facility is paramount. 2. Unique Physical Condition: The applicant must demonstrate that the subject property is exceptional as compared to other lots subject to the same provision by reason of a unique physical condition, including presence of an existing use, structure, or sign, whether conforming or nonconforming; irregular or substandard shape or size; or other extraordinary physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the subject property that amount to more than a mere inconvenience to the owner and that relate to or arise out of the subject lot rather than the personal situation of the current owner of the lot. The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the community. 3. Not Self-Created: The applicant must demonstrate that the unique physical condition is not the result of any action or inaction of the owner, or of the owner’s predecessors in title and known to the owner before acquisition of the subject property, and existed at the time of the enactment of the provisions from which a variance is sought or was created by natural forces or was the result of governmental action for which no compensation was paid. The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the community. 4. Denied Substantial Rights: The applicant must demonstrate that requiring strict compliance with the regulation for which a variance is sought would deprive the subject property owner of substantial rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other lots subject to the same regulation. Many commercial facilities and other public facilities have generators of a similar size to provide standby emergency power. VAR-2 Page 66 of 140 Village of Westmont - Application for Variance 5.​ Not Merely Special Privilege: The applicant must demonstrate that the alleged particular hardship or practical difficulty is not merely the inability of the owner or occupant to enjoy some special privilege or additional right not available to owners or occupants of other lots subject to the same provision, nor merely an inability to make more money from use of the subject property. Emergency standby generator power is essential for the reliable operation of a critical facility such as the Fire Station. 6.​ Zoning Ordinance & Comprehensive Plan: The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that would not be in harmony with the general and specific purposes of the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan. The subject property has been the site of a Fire Station for more than 30 years. Ensuring continuous power to this facility is critical to providing public safety services to the community. 7.​ Essential Character of the Area: The applicant must demonstrate that the variance would not result in a use or development of the subject property that (1) would be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements permitted in the vicinity, (2) would materially impair an adequate supply of the light and air to the properties and improvements in the vicinity, (3) would unduly increase the danger of flooding or fire, (4) would unduly tax public utilities, facilities, or services in the area, or (5) would endanger the public health or safety. The generator will be located in the rear yard, will be properly screened and will include sound attenuation so as not to unduly impact surrounding properties. 8.​ No Other Remedy: The applicant must demonstrate that there is no means other than the requested variance by which the alleged hardship or practical difficulty can be avoided or remedies to a degree sufficient to permit a reasonable use of the subject property. Emergency standby power/ critical operations power systems is a requirement for a facility such as the Fire Station. The Fire Station is an important community asset required to provide essential services to the residents of Westmont. VAR-3 Page 67 of 140 January 26, 2026 Dear Planning and Zoning Commission: The Village of Westmont’s Fire Department is seeking several approvals from the Board of Trustees to re-zone its properties at 6015 S Cass Ave, 6101 S Cass Ave, and 1000 Beninford Ln, the site of Fire Department Headquarters Station 183. Additionally, the project includes requests to consolidate the four lots into one, variances to the generator regulations, a Comprehensive Plan map amendment, and a major site plan for the new station. The Village is planning to demolish the existing building and construct a new, larger fire station on this site. Approval of the requested re-zoning, Comprehensive Plan map amendment, variances, consolidation, and site plan will ensure that the project is zoned consistent with the newly revised Zoning Ordinance and that the project is able to be constructed as needed to serve the community. This submittal includes the following for the Commission’s review and approval: ●​ Preliminary and Final Plat of Consolidation – four (4) lots into one (1) lot. ●​ Zoning Map Amendment – re-zone the properties from R-3, R-4, and C-1 to the P/I district. ●​ Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment – amend the future land use for portions of the property from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public. ●​ Zoning Ordinance Variance – Section 7.16 Generators – to allow for diesel fuel to meet COPS requirements, as well as to the maximum area and height for an emergency generator. ●​ Major Site Plan Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.

The Village of Westmont is proposing to replace the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a new fire station facility, along with associated improvements to the parking lot, signage, fencing, the emergency generator, and landscaping. To accommodate the project, the Village is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to redesignate the properties to Public/Semi‑Public and a Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone the parcels to the P/I Public and Institutional District. Additional requests include a Preliminary Plat of Subdivision to consolidate four lots into one, a Variance for the size, fuel type, and placement of the emergency generator, and approval of a Major Site Plan in support of the proposed redevelopment.​ III.​ ZONING ANALYSIS A.​ Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations The current zoning district of the property is R-3 Single-Unit Residential District, R-4 General Residential District, C-1 Commercial District and the Village’s Land Use Plan Map designates the properties as Public/Semi Public, Parks/Open Space, and General Commercial. The subject properties along Cass Avenue are located within the 63rd and Cass Subarea. LAND-USE PLAN (2013 Comprehensive Plan) - 6015-6101 South Cass Avenue + 1000 Beninford Lane B.​ Entitlement Request The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following request, including the necessary responses to the Variance Standards. Any corresponding standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in item V(B) below. ●​ Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from General Commercial and Parks/Open Space to Public/Semi Public The proposed consolidation and rezoning involve three parcels that currently have incompatible land-use designations according to the Village’s 2013 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. To achieve consistency for the redevelopment, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Map is necessary to establish a unified land use designation across all affected properties. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 004-2026​ ​ Page 4 of 8 Page 91 of 140 Current Land Use Proposed Land Use Common Address PIN Designation Designation 6015 S CASS AVE 09-15-311-001 Public/Semi Public Public/Semi Public 6101 S CASS AVE 09-15-302-003 General Commercial Public/Semi Public 6101 S CASS AVE 09-15-302-040 General Commercial Public/Semi Public 1000 BENINFORD LN 09-15-311-049 Parks/Open Space Public/Semi Public ●​ Zoning Ordinance Map Amendment to rezone the properties from the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District, the R-4 General Residential District, and the C-1 Commercial District to the P/I Public and Institutional District To accommodate the proposed redevelopment and consolidate the properties, which currently span three different zoning districts, a single, consistent zoning district must be established, as split zoning is prohibited. Given the existing and proposed uses, the P/I (Public/Institutional) Zoning District is the most suitable choice, as it permits safety services.

The following addresses and PIN(s) are to be consolidated into a single property consisting of the new Fire Station headquarters, fuel station, parking facilities, and regional stormwater detention facilities, Common Address PIN 6015 S CASS AVE 09-15-311-001 6101 S CASS AVE 09-15-302-003 6101 S CASS AVE 09-15-302-040 1000 BENINFORD LN 09-15-311-049 ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 004-2026​ ​ Page 5 of 8 Page 92 of 140 All public improvements required by Appendix B of the Village’s Municipal Code already exist. The preliminary plan, which consists of the final plat, has been provided for review and substantially complies with the standards for the P/I District. ●​ Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum size, fuel type, and location of an Emergency Generator Among the various site improvements proposed on the site, the petitioner is also proposing an exterior emergency generator near the north east corner of the property. The proposed exterior emergency generator, planned for the northeast corner of the property, does not comply with several requirements in Section 7.16 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding maximum size, fuel type, and setbacks. Fuel Type: The generator proposes to use diesel fuel, which is not an allowable fuel type. Section 7.16 permits only natural gas or propane generators for standby (emergency backup) electrical power. Setback: The generator is located approximately 55 feet from the side or rear wall of the building. The regulations permit a projection of up to 10 feet into the required rear setback, but only if the equipment is within 5 feet of the side or rear wall. Therefore, the proposed location does not meet the minimum requirement. Size: The proposed generator and its sound attenuation enclosure significantly exceed the maximum size requirement of 30 square feet and 5 feet in height. The proposal is approximately 141.1 square feet and 10.5 feet in height,however due to the anticipated grade change the generator on ground will be between 2 and 3 feet lower than the north and east property lines, respectively. The petitioner cites that the proposed generator needs 72 hours of fuel to meet Critical Operations Power Systems (COPS) requirements. The petitioner has also provided the specification of the proposed generator and sound attenuation enclosure. ●​ Major Site Plan The project involves the demolition of the existing south fire station headquarters and the construction of a new 25,158 square foot fire station headquarters. This new facility will accommodate general safety service operations and offices. Site improvements will also include an updated parking lot, new fencing, an accessory patio with a pergola, the installation of an emergency generator, and the relocation of the community electronic message board sign. Aside from minor grading to accommodate ADA accessible parking stalls, no other improvements are currently proposed for the fueling station. Some minor filling of the stormwater detention facility is required to accommodate the larger parking footprint, but any loss in storage will be minimized by the use of permeable pavement in the parking stalls. Since the proposed building exceeds the minimum threshold of 10,000 square feet for a new structure or addition, Major Site Plan approval is required per Sec. 14.05 of the Zoning Ordinance. When processed as a Major Site Plan, the location of all buildings and structure, landscaping, and building elevations are reviewed for approval by the Village Board. Building: ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 004-2026​ ​ Page 6 of 8 Page 93 of 140 The new Fire Department Headquarters will be constructed in the same general area as the current structure, but with a larger overall footprint.The facility's functions will include vehicle and equipment storage, employee housing, and administrative offices. Emergency vehicle access will be provided via South Cass Avenue, with street striping planned. Additionally, a patio and pergola are proposed in the north east east corner for employees to utilize during shifts. The building design, featuring a combination of Brick Veneer and Fiber Cement with a focus on the west elevation facing Cass Avenue, substantially complies with the Village’s Design Guidelines for this Gateway & Corridor. Furthermore, the building adheres to all required minimum setbacks and height limits for the P/I Zoning District, pending the rezoning. Fencing: The petitioner proposes a seven-foot-tall, closed composite fence. This fencing will be situated along the rear (east) property line, north of the fuel pumping station and along the proposed parking lot. It will continue along the north property line until it reaches the 25 foot front yard setback along Cass Avenue. This new fence meets the maximum height permissions and style for the P/I District and will offer the required screening for the adjacent residential properties to the north and east. The existing split rail fencing around the stormwater detention facilities will be preserved. Parking: The petitioner is proposing several site improvements to the parking lot and drive aisles. These improvements include a combination of asphalt and concrete pavement in the drive aisles and aprons, as well as permeable pavers in the parking stalls.Restriping in the existing parking lot will provide the required ADA stalls. The dumpster enclosure will also be relocated to the rear of the property. Due to the expanded building footprint, the total number of on-site parking spaces will be reduced from 62 to 49, a net reduction of 13 spaces. The Village’s zoning ordinance provides a distinct approach for safety services, such as fire stations, compared to other commercial or residential uses, acknowledging their unique operational circumstances. For these facilities, the code allows reliance on a professional firm to determine the necessary parking ratio based on the comparability of similar uses. Additionally, a bike rack is also part of the proposal along the south elevation of the building. Peak parking demand is anticipated to be 37 spaces based on the following employee breakdown during a shift change: 6 administration staff, 11 Fire Prevention Bureau employees, and 20 personnel in the living quarters (during a shift change). Landscaping: The submitted landscape plan accompanying the request for major site plan approval is found to be in substantial compliance with the Village's adopted regulations. The design includes significant landscaping around the building's perimeter, featuring a broader diversity of plant types along the more visible facades. Furthermore, the plan incorporates the required exterior landscaping for the parking lot. Signage: Signage is planned for the front of the building. The existing community electronic message board sign is being moved further south, closer to the fuel pumping station, to improve visibility. A 5 foot landscaping bed will surround the base of the proposed monument sign, as shown in the landscape plan. It should be noted that while signage is being proposed, its total size, orientation, and materials are largely exempt from the Village's Zoning Ordinance regulations because they relate to the discharge of governmental functions. ____________________________________________________________________________________ PZC 004-2026​ ​ Page 7 of 8 Page 94 of 140 IV.​ SUMMARY The petitioner is seeking approvals to redevelop the existing Fire Department Headquarters with a new facility and related site improvements.

The Additional Deposit(s) shall be applicable to the Purchase Price. If Purchaser cancels this Agreement before the end of the Extension Period, Purchaser shall receive a full refund of its Initial Deposit, but Seller shall retain the Additional Deposit(s). If Purchaser cancels this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.9(d), then Purchaser shall receive a full refund of its Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit(s). If Purchaser cancels this Agreement after the 4 Page 120 of 140 expiration of the Extension Period, and the cancellation is not made pursuant to Section 2.9(d), Seller shall retain the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit(s) as liquidated damages as its sole and exclusive remedy, and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to Seller. (d) Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), actions and causes of action arising out of property damage or personal injury caused by any inspection of the Property performed by Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, and/or employees. Purchaser further waives and releases any claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action or other remedies of any kind whatsoever against Seller for property damages or bodily and/or personal injuries to Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out of Purchaser’s investigations of the Property.

Section 2.6 Intentionally Omitted. Section 2.7. Apportionment. The following items will be apportioned between the Seller and Purchaser as of the Sale Date, with all such expenses relating to the period on or prior to the Sale Date to be Seller's responsibility, and all such expenses relating to the period after the Sale Date to be Purchaser's responsibility, whether or not previously paid by Seller: water charges, refuse collection charges, storm sewer (if any) and sanitary sewer charges, ad valorem personal property taxes, real estate taxes and assessments on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed (if the actual ad valorem taxes are not available on the Closing Date for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the proration of such taxes at the Closing shall be made based upon 105% of the most recent available fully year tax bill information, and shall be final), utilities and any other items customarily apportioned in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. A schedule of the apportionments will be prepared prior to the Sale Date (“Apportionment Schedule”); provided, however, the 5 Page 121 of 140 absence of any item from the Apportionment Schedule does not relieve either party from their contractual obligations set forth in this Agreement. On or prior to the Sale Date, Seller shall provide proof to Purchaser of payment in full of Village of Westmont water charges and Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District sanitary sewer charges through the Sale Date. Section 2.8. Intentionally omitted. Section 2.9. Title Policies; Survey. (a) Seller shall obtain from Chicago Title Insurance Company (“CTIC” or “Title Company”) a commitment to issue a title policy for the Property (“Title Commitment”), together with copies of all recorded instruments affecting title to the Property and recited as exceptions in such Title Commitment. Seller shall deliver such Title Commitment and recorded instruments to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Seller's delivery of a “mark up” title policy for the Property shall be a condition to Closing. Purchaser is solely responsible for obtaining extended coverage over matters of survey. Purchaser shall be solely liable for the cost of any title endorsements beyond extended coverage. (b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser, at its own expense, shall obtain an ALTA survey (“Survey”) of the Property, and Purchaser shall provide a copy of the Survey to Purchaser and to the Title Company. (c) If Purchaser has an objection to items disclosed in the Commitment or Survey, then Purchaser may give Seller written notice of its objections within five (5) business days after receipt of the Commitment and Survey. Any exception to title identified in the Commitment or Survey not objected to by Purchaser within the time period specified in this section shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser. If Purchaser gives timely written notice of its objections, then Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice (“Seller’s Cure Period”) whether Seller elects to remove or to cause the Title Company to insure against the same. Seller’s failure to deliver such written notice shall constitute Seller’s election not to cure Purchaser’s title objections. Seller shall have no obligation to expend any money, to incur any contractual or other obligations, or to institute any litigation in pursuing its efforts other than to remove at Closing liens and encumbrances of an ascertainable amount. If Seller refuses to agree to remove or insure against any objection during Seller’s Cure Period, then Purchaser shall elect not later than five (5) business days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party will have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, other than rights or obligations that expressly survive termination; or (ii) waive the unsatisfied objection (which shall thereupon become a Permitted Exception) and proceed to Closing. The 6 Page 122 of 140 phrase “Permitted Exceptions” means all real estate taxes not yet due and payable, and those exceptions to title set forth in the Commitment or Survey that have been accepted by Purchaser. (d) After the Effective Date, Seller will not place, allow to be placed, or cause to be placed on the Property any encumbrance (references to "encumbrance" include any lien, easement, encumbrance, or other exception to title) other than the Permitted Exceptions. If, before the Closing Date, title to the Property becomes subject to any new encumbrance other than a Permitted Exception, then Seller may (but has no obligation to) attempt to cure the encumbrance, other than any encumbrance intentionally or deliberately placed on the Property by Purchaser, and in such case, Purchaser has an obligation to cure said encumbrance. If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the encumbrance, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller whereupon the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit (if any), shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party will have any right or obligation under this Agreement other than rights or obligations that expressly survive termination; or (ii) proceed to Closing without receiving any credit against or reduction of the Purchase Price whereupon Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the encumbrance as an exception to title (which shall thereupon become a Permitted Exception).
