a. Amendment to Agreement with Leopardo Construction
Board to consider an ordinance approving a First Amendment to the
Agreement with Leopardo Construction, Inc. which accepts the Guaranteed
Maximum Price exhibit and other exhibits for the Fire Department
Headquarters.
Background of Subject Matter
At the October 16, 2025 Village Board meeting, the board approved the
selection of Leopardo Construction, Inc. to serve as the construction
manager at risk for the Fire Department Headquarters project, and it
approved an Agreement for construction manager at risk services.
Additional Background
To date, two bid packages have been released for bid by Leopardo for the
various trades and subcontractors that will be involved in building the new
fire department headquarters building. The first package was opened on
April 17, 2026, and included lead and asbestos abatement and building
demolition. The second package opened on June 8, 2026 and included
various trades such as earthwork and site utilities, asphalt paving, concrete,
masonry, structural steel, roofing, doors, glazing, millwork, flooring,
plumbing, HVAC, electrical, general trades and other work items. Leopardo
has now prepared Exhibit A to the Agreement containing a Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) of $25,328,449, which includes demolition of the old
building, construction of the new building, temporary fire station, permits,
bonds and insurance, construction contingencies and the contractor's fee.
The GMP does not include the architect's design fee or technology,
equipment and low voltage wiring, which will be handled by a separate
contract. The total project cost, including the GMP and ancillary contracts,
is $26,883,449. Leopardo has also prepared the other remaining Exhibits to
the Agreement (Exhibits B, D, F, and G). This First Amendment approves
these Exhibits, and it amends the list of Exhibits contained in Section
15.2.7 of the Agreement.
Recommendation
Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with Leopardo, including
Exhibit A-Guaranteed Maximum Price in the amount of $25,328,449.
Type Ordinance
Budgeted Yes
9. NEW BUSINESS
a. Variance - 29 North Washington Street - Lot Coverage
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from Richard Strohmaier
Jr. for the property at 29 North Washington Street, Westmont, Illinois,
60559, for a Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum lot coverage in the
R-3 Single-Unit Residential District for two patios.
Background of Subject Matter
The petitioner proposes to construct two permeable paver patios, one
adjacent to the rear of the garage, and the other adjacent to the family
room. This construction would raise the property's lot coverage from
approximately 34.9% to 41.8%, which exceeds the 35% maximum allowed
in the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District. Therefore, the petitioner is
requesting a variance to a maximum lot coverage of 41.8%, rounded to up
42%.
Additional Background
The proposed permeable paver patios and stepper path are located at the
rear of the home to the east. The home was built just below the maximum
lot coverage for the property at 34.9% in 2022-2023 based on the approved
building permit without any usable outdoor structures. The patios and
stepper path have a total area of 620 square feet. Additionally, the
northernmost patio would include a pergola structure. Since the applicant is
proposing to use permeable pavers for both patios, engineering staff does
not have an objection to the requested variance, as long the pergola does
not have a louvered roof.
Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during
its regular meeting on June 10, 2026. At that meeting, the Commission
recommended approval (5-0-2, with two members absent) with the
condition that the site plan be revised to include only one patio and a
walkway from the second exterior door, not to exceed 40% lot coverage. If
the Village Board approves the request with this condition, the petitioner will
be required to revise the proposal accordingly prior to submitting building
permit applications. The Village Board may also elect to approve the request
as proposed without the condition at 42% lot coverage or deny the request
altogether.
Type Ordinance
Budgeted
b. Major Site Plan Approval - 6120 South Cass Avenue - Daycare Center
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from 814 CRE, LLC
(Petitioner), and Encore CW, LLC (Owner), for the property at 6120 South
Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for a Major Site Plan Approval for a
Day Care Center in the C-1 Commercial District.
Background of Subject Matter
The petitioner is proposing a new daycare center that includes a new
principal building, outdoor play area, accessory parking facilities, and
landscaping. Since daycare centers are a permitted use in the C-1
Commercial District. The request complies with both the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance and the recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan
and Commercial Design Guidelines, if staff’s recommended conditions are
accepted as listed in the Board Memo.
Additional Background
Maximum facility capacity is currently estimated at 173 students and 28
teachers, though final enrollment will depend on local demand. To facilitate
drop-offs and pick-ups, all parents and guardians must park and personally
escort children into the building. Peak traffic is expected during the morning
(6:00am to 9:00am) and evening (3:00pm to 6:30pm). The building's
elevations consist of a mix of masonry brick veneer, fiber cement siding, and
expansive glass windows on the north and west facades facing the primary
drive aisle and Cass Avenue. The outdoor play area measures approximately
11,043 square feet and is enclosed by a 6-foot-high wood privacy fence.
Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the major site plan during its
regular meeting on May 13, 2026, and voted to continue the request to the
next regular meeting. The purpose of the continuance was to allow the
petitioner to evaluate alternative traffic flow designs to alleviate pressure on
the eastern access point at Cass Avenue shared with the Encore car wash. At
the next regular meeting on June 10, 2026, the Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the revised site plan (5-0-2, 2 absent) with the
recommended conditions as listed in the Board Memo.
Type Ordinance
Budgeted
c. Special Use Permit - 909 Oakwood Drive (Westmont HS) - Electronic
Message Board Sign
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from Community Unit
School District 201 for the property at 909 Oakwood Drive, Westmont,
Illinois, 60559, for a Special Use Permit for an electronic message board sign
for Westmont High School in the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District.
Background of Subject Matter
Community Unit School District 201 intends to install a ground sign with an
EMB to display messages and relay important information to the community
more efficiently than the existing static changeable message board sign. The
new sign will use the existing sign’s support structure, which
allows for the sign to maintain a 12 foot front yard setback where 15 feet is
required. All other setback and size requirements for the new sign are
compliant with the zoning ordinance.
Additional Background
All electronic message board (EMB) signs receive special use permit approval
in the R-3 district when located on a lot occupied by a public or
institutional use to assess impacts on neighboring residences.
Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during
its regular meeting on June 10, 2026, where the Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the request (5-0-2, 2 absent).
Type Ordinance

d. Special Use Permit - 38 South Cass Avenue - Mahjong Studio (The
Mahj House)

for the property at 38 South Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for a
Special Use Permit to operate an Indoor Other Participant Entertainment
business (mahjong studio) in the B-1 Downtown Edge District.
Background of Subject Matter
The petitioner proposes operating The Mahj House at 38 South Cass Avenue

They plan to offer beginner instruction, open play, leagues, and occasional
private events. The submitted floor plan shows the 1,650-square-foot space
can hold up to 40 players across ten tables, though class sizes are expected
to be capped between 8 and 16 players.
Additional Background
The petitioner will typically be the only employee on-site, but may
occasionally have other instructors join as the business grows. Lessons will
be taught on Tuesday and Friday during the day, and one on Sunday in the
early evening, with eight (8) to 12 players at a time. The studio will also host
leagues on Monday during the day and a separate league at night on
Tuesdays.
Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during
its regular meeting on June 10, 2026, where the Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the request (5-0-2, 2 absent).

2.0 Exhibit A Schedule of Values – See Owner Recap at the end of Exhibit A.
3.0 GMP Baseline – GMP is based on the following categories of cost. This forms the baseline for monitoring
scope changes in the future.
a. GMP Documents – GMP is based on the documents prepared by 845 Design Group and noted in section
1.0 of this document.
b. Agreed Upon Changes – During the process of preparing the GMP, the Architect/Engineer (A/E) and
LCI may have agreed to modifications to the design originally documented in the A/E’s documents. For
items, which this occurs, LCI estimated quantities and quality levels take precedence over the A/E’s
documents as basis for GMP.
Page 19 of 123
c. LCI Assumptions – In cases where the design is inadequately defined on the A/E’s documents, LCI
will make assumptions upon which to base cost. Since scope variances cannot be determined by
comparing future design documents to A/E’s documents, LCI’s assumed quantities and quality levels,
shall take precedence over the A/E documents as a basis of the GMP.
4.0 Inflation / Market Escalation – We have not included any costs for escalation. Bidders are required to hold
their bid value for 90 days from submission.
5.0 Bonds / Subcontractor Default Insurance – A performance and payment bond is included for the Full GMP

related conditions and is not intended to serve as an Owner Contingency. The Construction Contingency does
not provide for Owner requested changes during construction. Owner contingency is included in the GMP
value that will be utilized for owner and design requested changes or unforeseen conditions.
7.0 Schedule – The schedule is based upon a construction start date of 06/30/2026 and a substantial completion
date of 10/12/2027. Schedule durations and milestone dates are contingent upon receiving the building permit
by 6/30/2026 and ComEd completing all required utility work, including re-feeding neighboring properties
and relocating the utility pole on Cass Avenue, in a timely fashion that does not affect Leopardo critical path.
Failure to complete this work within the required timeframe may impact the overall project schedule,
including the substantial completion date.
8.0 Sales Tax – This GMP excludes all cost associated with State of Illinois sales tax. Owner is to provide LCI
with their tax-exempt ID number, to be used by the subcontractors when purchasing permanent or temporary
materials for use in construction.
9.0 Allowances – In cases where the design has not been developed sufficiently to GMP quantities, a stipulated
dollar allowance shall be the basis of the GMP. Allowances are included in the GMP. Allowances shall cover

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT
Board of Trustees Memorandum
June 25, 2026
Item for Board of Trustees Consideration:
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from Richard Strohmaier Jr. for the property at 29
North Washington Street, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1. Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum lot coverage in the R-3 Single-Unit
Residential District for two patios.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during its regular meeting on June
10, 2026. At that meeting, the Commission recommended approval (5‑0‑2, with two members absent)
with the condition that the site plan be revised to include only one patio and a walkway from the second
exterior door, not to exceed 40% lot coverage. If the Village Board approves the request with this
condition, the petitioner will be required to revise the proposal accordingly prior to submitting building
permit applications. The Village Board may also elect to approve the request as proposed without the
condition at 42% lot coverage or deny the request altogether.
I. BACKGROUND OF ITEM
A. Location: 29 North Washington Street is located westside of Washington Street between West
Burlington Avenue and Irving Street. The property is improved with a single-unit detached home and
attached garage. The lot is approximately 60’ by 150’, with a total area of approximately 9,000
square feet.

Page 46 of 123
Zoning Map - 29 North Washington Street
B. Zoning Designations:
SUBJECT PROPERTY: R-3 Single-Unit Residential District
ALL ADJACENT PROPERTIES: R-3 Single-Unit Residential District
C. Neighborhood Characteristics
The property is located in the A.T. McIntosh & Co.’s Fairmont Heights Subdivision, which was
recorded in 1920. This subdivision includes a majority of the lots in the northwest quadrant of the
Village’s Downtown area. Almost all of the residential lots in this subdivision are 9,000 square feet in
area.
II. PETITIONER REQUEST:
The petitioner proposes to construct two permeable paver patios, one adjacent to the rear of the
garage, and the other adjacent to the family room. This construction would raise the property's lot
coverage from approximately 34.9% to 41.8%, which exceeds the 35% maximum allowed in the R-3
Single-Unit Residential District. Therefore, the petitioner is requesting a variance to a maximum lot
coverage of 41.8%, rounded to up 42%.
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the current and future land use in this area as single-family
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 020-2026 Page 2 of 5
Page 47 of 123
detached residential, with an appropriate zoning designation of R-3 Single-Unit Residential District.
This variance request does not directly conflict with either the land use plan or overall vision of the
Comprehensive Plan.
B. Entitlement Requests
The petitioners have provided project narratives 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).
● Zoning Ordinance Variance to the maximum lot coverage in the R-3 Single-Unit
Residential District for two patios.
Lot coverage is defined as the following per Chapter 95, Section 16.08:
Lot coverage: Lot coverage is measured as the percentage of a lot covered by
buildings, structures and permanent impervious surfaces.
Total lot coverage is calculated by taking the total combined footprint of these improvements, dividing
it by the total lot area, and then multiplying the result by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Chapter 95, Section 2.05 - Lot and Building Regulations
Maximum Lot Existing Proposed Difference
Coverage Permitted Lot Coverage Lot Coverage (Proposed - Existing)
~ 42%
35%
~ 34.93% (rounded up from ~7%
41.8%)
~3,143 Square
3,150 Square Feet ~3,763 Square Feet ~620 Square Feet
Feet
The proposed permeable paver patios and stepper path are located at the rear of the home to the
east. The home was built just below the maximum lot coverage for the property at 34.9% in
2022-2023 based on the approved building permit without any usable outdoor structures. The patios
and stepper path have a total area of 620 square feet. Additionally, the northernmost patio would
include a pergola structure.
Chapter 95, Section 2.05 states that detached residences in the R-3 district have a 35% lot coverage
maximum. Additionally, if a proposed project results in lot coverage between 35% and 40%, it may
qualify for administrative approval rather than requiring a formal variance—so long as the property is
not located within a designated building moratorium area, a known drainage problem zone, or a
defined drainage sub-basin. This property is not eligible for administrative approval to 40%, as the
petitioners are requesting a lot coverage of 42% (rounded up from 41.8%), which can only be
approved through a variance. The proposed increase in lot coverage is approximately 7% or 620
square feet from the existing lot coverage.
Even if the proposed lot coverage was 40% or less, administrative approval still could not be
granted. This is because the front yard of the subject property is within a Low Depressional Area
(LDA), which also encompasses several adjacent properties. Since the applicant is proposing to use
permeable pavers for both patios, engineering staff does not have an objection to the requested
variance, as long the pergola does not have a louvered roof and all utility connections are
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 020-2026 Page 3 of 5
Page 48 of 123
floodproofed. These details will be reviewed by engineering staff at the time of permitting.
Furthermore, all gas, mechanical, and electrical installations must be floodproofed
The petitioner cites that the hardship exists due to the original builder maximizing the allowable 35%
footprint, leaving no remaining lot coverage for outdoor living space. Additionally, to mitigate potential
stormwater impacts, the applicant proposes utilizing permeable pavers to allow for on-site water
infiltration and prevent additional runoff onto adjacent properties
The proposed structures all comply with the zoning bulk and development regulations outlined in
Chapter 95 - Zoning with the exception of the total lot coverage.
C. Variance Standards
The Variance Standards, detailed below, must be applied to this request:
(H) Standards and Review Criteria: No variance may be approved or recommended for approval unless authorized
review and decision-making bodies have made findings of fact based upon the evidence provided by the
applicant the variance being sought satisfies each of the standards set forth in this section (Sec. 14.06(H)).
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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 and the comprehensive plan.
(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;

(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.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioners are seeking a variance for lot coverage, proposing to construct two (2) patios, a
pergola, and a stepper path totaling approximately 620 square feet of new lot coverage This
construction would increase the lot coverage from approximately 34.9% to approximately 42%,
exceeding the 35% maximum permitted in the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District. The Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended approval with the condition that the site plan be revised to
include only one patio and a walkway from the second exterior door, not to exceed 40% lot
coverage. If the Village Board approves the request with this condition, the petitioner will be required
to revise the proposal accordingly prior to submitting building permit applications.

PZC Application Strohmaier 20 -
The above documents have been preliminarily reviewed for compliance with the Village of Westmont Code
of Ordinances (Village Code) and the DuPage Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance
(DCSFPO). Please consider the following comments:
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. This property is located within sub-basin R-P5-2b, which contains a Low Depressional Area (LDA).
Several residential lots are within this LDA, including 29 N. Washington Street. The associated
Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is 752.0. This LDA is the reason the 35-40% lot coverage administrative
approval was not granted.
2. The applicant is proposing to construct the patios with permeable pavers. Engineering staff does
not object to this variance request, provided the pergola does not have a louvered roof.
Additionally, all electric/mechanical/gas improvements should be floodproofed up to an elevation
of 753.0 (12” above the BFE).

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FINDINGS OF FACT
PUBLIC HEARING OF JUNE 10, 2026
PZC 020-2026: Richard Strohmaier, 29 N. Washington Street, Westmont.
Request for a variance to exceed the maximum lot coverage allowed in the R-3 Single-Unit
Residential District for two proposed patios.
(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: Petitioner purchased the property with the existing lot coverage of nearly 35%.
The property currently contains no outdoor living space improvements, such as a deck or patio.
Without this variance, Petitioner would be unable to have any outdoor living and functional
leisure space of note. Petitioner is unable to remove or alter existing improvements (i.e., house,
driveway, small front walkway) to reduce the existing lot coverage in order to accommodate the
proposed patios. Moreover, without this variance, Petitioner would be unable to realize the same
enjoyment of their property that other properties owners in the R-3 District enjoy.
(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: The property is unique in that the builder constructed the house and driveway to
the maximum allowed lot coverage, leaving no ability for a property owner to add outdoor
improvements and amenities. The property is also unique because the back yard of the property
can accommodate small improvements, such as the proposed patios, without creating any
adverse stormwater impacts.
(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.
Page 53 of 123
FINDINGS: The builder of this property was allowed to build to the maximum lot coverage
without the inclusion of any outdoor living improvements, which are considered essential and
commonplace for today’s homes. Surrounding properties all have outdoor improvements, such as
patios, decks, and swimming pools. Neither Petitioner, nor any predecessor owner, has added any
improvements to increase the existing lot coverage. The Petitioner was not aware of the existing
lot coverage or the Village’s maximum-allowed lot coverage regulation when they purchased the
property, and Petitioner assumed that he could add a modest outdoor living space improvement
to the property.
(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: Surrounding properties all have livable outdoor space in the form of decks, patios,
or similar improvements. Most surrounding properties are located on lots that are the same size
or smaller than Petitioner’s property. Without this variance, the Petitioner would not be able to
enjoy the same functional outdoor living space as surrounding properties, and the Petitioner is
proposing very modest-sized patios consisting of permeable pavers.
(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: There is a heightened awareness of the benefits that come from outdoor living and
functional outdoor living spaces. Having small, functional patios to accommodate the
Petitioner’s family and guests is not a special privilege or a lavish and unnecessary amenity.
Petitioner is proposing modest-sized patios totaling 620 square feet, which will accommodate
Petitioner’s reasonable needs and which are consistent with the livable outdoor space of
surrounding properties.
(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.
FINDINGS: The proposed patios are consistent with single-family residential use allowed in the
zoning district, and the patios are intended for the Petitioner’s personal use, enjoyment, privacy,
and well-being.
Page 54 of 123
(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: The proposed patios will not be detrimental to the public welfare and will not
adversely impact the use, enjoyment, development, or value of surrounding properties. The
patios are intended for the Petitioner’s private enjoyment, and outdoor improvements of this
nature are a common feature of single-family homes in the area. The patios will enhance the
usability of the property, and they are consistent with the outdoor living spaces of surrounding
properties. The proposed patios will be modestly sized and made of permeable pavers, and they
will not impair light or air to surrounding properties. The proposed patios will not increase the
danger of flooding or create other adverse stormwater impacts to surrounding properties or the
public. The proposed patios will not increase the risk of fire. The proposed patios will not impact
public utilities and facilities in any manner, and they will not endanger the public health or
safety.
(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: The Petitioner is unable to decrease the size of the house, driveway, or existing
front walkway in order to accommodate these modest-sized patios. The property contains a small
front porch, but it is not feasible for the Petitioner to eliminate or reduce the size of this front
porch as it is tied to the roofline of the house. The front porch is not a suitable alternative to a
new rear deck as the front porch does not offer privacy or sufficient and functional outdoor living
space for a family and guests.

Variance application Cover Letter
29 N. Washington St. Westmont, IL 60559
We are proposing to install two Permeable Paver Patios. One patio will be at the back
sliding door entrance, and the second will be a smaller patio at the garage door entrance. In
addition, we will be installing a Pergola on top of the main paver patio.The materials to be
used would be Permeable Pavers.
LOT COVERAGE CALCULATIONS:
-Existing impervious area (House, Porch, Driveway and front walkway) = 3,143 s.f.
-Total Lot = 9,000
-Existing Lot Coverage = 34.93%
-Proposed Permeable Paver patios total = 619 s.f.
-Total Proposed impervious area = 3,762.6 s.f.
-Total Proposed Lot Coverage = 41.8%
Per Zoning Ordinance, the maximum lot coverage in the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District
(Chapter 95, Section 2.05) is set at 35%, the proposed patio would make the lot coverage to
42%, which makes this not compliant

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT
Board of Trustees Memorandum
June 25, 2026
Item for Board of Trustees Consideration:
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from 814 CRE, LLC (Petitioner), and Encore CW,
LLC (Owner), for the property at 6120 South Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1. Major Site Plan Approval for a Day Care Center in the C-1 Commercial District.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the major site plan during its regular meeting on May 13,
2026, and voted to continue the request to the next regular meeting. The purpose of the continuance was
to allow the petitioner to evaluate alternative traffic flow designs to alleviate pressure on the eastern
access point at Cass Avenue shared with the Encore car wash. At the next regular meeting on June 10,
2026, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the revised site plan (5-0-2, 2 absent) with
the recommended conditions as listed in the Board Memo.
I. BACKGROUND OF ITEM
A. Location: 6120 South Cass Avenue is located southwest of the intersection of Cass Avenue and 61st
Street. The subject property is about 201 feet wide by 437 feet deep, or 1.79 acres in area. The site
was formerly improved with a multi-tenant commercial building, but was torn down and subdivided in
2023 when Encore Car Wash redeveloped the property. Encore developed the northern lot with a car
wash, and left the southern lot vacant for future commercial development.

II. PETITIONER REQUEST:
The petitioner has requested approval of a major site plan for the construction of a day care center in
the C-1 Commercial District.
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning district of the property is C-1 Commercial, which is intended to encourage retail
and sales tax generating uses. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use in this area
as Corridor Commercial, which should “...provide for businesses to both serve the daily needs of
Westmont residents as well as a destination for the larger market.” The subject property is located
within the 63rd & Cass subarea’s Commercial Redevelopment Area. In this part of the subarea, it is
recommended that building architecture be high quality to create a unique subarea within the context
of Westmont and surrounding communities.
Additionally, the property is within a Gateway & Corridor encompassing portions of South Cass
Avenue and 63rd Street. The Commercial Design Guidelines state that “Commercial development
along the Village’s primary corridors contribute significantly to the overall image and character of the
Village, and impacts the way residents and visitors perceive the community.” Commercial
development should abide by these guidelines.
B. Entitlement Request
The petitioner has provided a project narrative and supporting documentation for the following
request. Any corresponding standards for entitlement approval consideration can be referenced in
item V(B) below.
● Major Site Plan Approval for a Day Care Center in the C-1 Commercial District.
Site Plan approval is mandated by Chapter 95, Section 14.05 when certain thresholds are met. This
specific application requires a major site plan review because the total gross floor area of the
building and outdoor area exceeds 10,000 square feet. Site plans involve the adoption of the site
plan, landscaping plan, and building elevations by the Village Board.
Final action to approve or deny a major site must be based on whether the new or modified
improvements shown on the site plan, as proposed, comply with the regulations of the zoning
ordinance and all other applicable village ordinances and regulations. In reviewing and acting on
major site plans, review and decision-making bodies may also consider and be guided in the
reasonable exercise of their discretion by the following standards and criteria (Ch. 95, Sec.
14.05(G)(1)):
(a) Whether the proposed plans will protect the public health, safety, and welfare;
(b) Whether the proposed plans will avoid substantial injury to the value of other property in
the area;
(c) Whether the proposed plans will provide for protection of community appearance and the
function of the natural environment, including floodplains, soil and geologic characteristics,
and preservation of vegetation;
(d) Whether the proposed plans comply with all applicable village and county stormwater
regulations; and
(e) Whether the proposed plans comply with adopted building and site design guidelines
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 010-2026 Page 3 of 5
Page 66 of 123
The petitioner is proposing a new daycare center that includes a new principal building, outdoor play
area, accessory parking facilities, and landscaping. Since daycare centers are a permitted use in the
C-1 Commercial District, the review and decision-making bodies should focus on the criteria listed
above when formulating a decision.
The petitioner has provided exhibits that include architectural site plans including building elevations,
engineering plans, and a landscape plan.
Principal and Accessory Uses:
While the proposed daycare center is a permitted use in the C-1 District, the petitioner has submitted
a narrative detailing daily operations, including anticipated hours, staffing, and patron volume and is
summarized below.
Operating Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 6:30pm, the tenant, an early education provider
active in both the UK and the US, serves children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age, with a curriculum
focused on holistic development.
Maximum facility capacity is currently estimated at 173 students and 28 teachers, though final
enrollment will depend on local demand. To facilitate drop-offs and pick-ups, all parents and
guardians must park and personally escort children into the building. Peak traffic is expected during
the morning (6:00am to 9:00am) and evening (3:00pm to 6:30pm).
Building and Site:
The design manages traffic flow on site was revised by the recommendation of the PZC to prevent
conflict and backups along Cass Avenue as vehicles enter the property.
The proposed layout features a parking lot at the rear of the site and an additional parking lot located
along the north property line against the main drive aisle. Access to the site consists of an entry
point off South Cass Avenue, with no drive aisle along the southern or eastern property line. Village
staff, including planning, engineering, and the Fire Prevention Bureau, are satisfied with the
proposed site plan traffic flow pattern.
The minimum off-street parking requirement for daycare centers is 0.5 spaces for each staff
member. With a proposed staff of 28, the requirement is at least 14 spaces. The project provides a
total of 44 parking spaces (ADA included), which surpasses the minimum requirement for this
specific use.
The outdoor play area measures approximately 11,043 square feet and is enclosed by a 6-foot-high
wood privacy fence. The building, play area, fence, and parking lot all meet the minimum setback
requirements and bulk standards.
Building elevations consist of a mix of masonry brick veneer, fiber cement siding, and expansive
glass windows on the north and west facades facing the primary drive aisle and Cass Avenue. Lap
fiber cement siding is utilized for the southern and eastern elevations, which are less visible to the
public. Furthermore, the site plan indicates that the dumpster will be effectively screened by a gate
and brick veneer walls situated at the parking lot's northwest corner, complying with the Village’s
design guidelines.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 010-2026 Page 4 of 5
Page 67 of 123
In addition to the architectural plans, the petitioner submitted a photometric plan demonstrating
compliance with Village lighting standards. The design utilizes downcasted lighting to ensure minimal
light trespass onto adjacent properties.
Landscaping:
The proposed landscape plan provides substantial screening and perimeter landscaping along the
visible rights-of-way and complies with the minimum landscape requirements; however, minor
revisions are needed in regards to the landscape plan prior to permit submission.
If the Village Board desires to recommend approval, staff recommends amending the motion to
include the following conditions:
● Recommend landscaping next to parking stalls have 2’ clearance for doors and vehicle
overhangs.
● The Eastern Red Cedar label by rear parking lot is incorrect and shall be rectified.
● Missing Plant labels shall be rectified in the northeast planting bed.
● Recommend evergreen shrubs around the utility equipment in the northeast planting
bed.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner is requesting Major Site Plan approval to operate a daycare center that includes a
new principal building, outdoor play area, and parking facilities in the C-1 Commercial District. The
request largely complies with both the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the
recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan and Commercial Design Guidelines, if staff’s
recommended conditions are accepted.

814 Services LLC is under contract to purchase a +/-1.79 acre vacant parcel located at 6120 S Cass
Avenue (Property Identification Number 916406036) and is submitting for a Major Site Plan review.
This application is for a proposed approx.13,000 SF childcare facility including 8,998 SF of
playground and 38 parking stalls. In advance of this application a Pre-Application meeting was held
on October 29th, 2025 with Scott Williams. The subject property is zoned C-1 with day care centers
listed as a permitted as-of-right use.
The tenant is a provider of early education in the UK and now the US. The company offers its services
for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. The curriculum emphasizes child development through
holistic approaches focusing on
Tenant Curriculum
The provider offers full early education and care for children ageing from 6 weeks to 6 years. They
employ the company’s proprietary curriculum, which combines traditional, teacher-guided learning
with more child-initiated play. The curriculum also incorporates current research on child
development and emphasizes building character in students. Their learning philosophy consists of
four major components—theme-based learning, which uses topics of interest to children to place
concepts in context; an academic curriculum which focuses on school readiness in math, language,
and literacy; enrichment programs, which include music, arts, gardening, and foreign language,
among other activities; and character development. The N Family approach supports each students
development by preparing them for the modern world and focusing on holistic health, self-

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT
Board of Trustees Memorandum
June 25, 2026
Item for Board of Trustees Consideration:
Board to consider an ordinance approving a request from Community Unit School District 201 for the
property at 909 Oakwood Drive, Westmont, Illinois, 60559, for the following:
1. Special Use Permit for an electronic message board sign for Westmont High School in
the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this case during its regular meeting on June
10, 2026, where the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request (5-0-2, 2 absent).
I. BACKGROUND OF ITEM
A. Location: 909 Oakwood Drive, commonly known as Westmont High School, is located on the north
edge of the Village of Westmont within the Oakwood Subdivision. The subject property is about 33
acres in area, and is improved with a high school and related athletic facilities.

____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 018-2026 Page 2 of 4
Page 92 of 123
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning district of the property is R-3 Single-Unit Residential District, which is primarily
intended to provide for the construction of detached houses. However, institutions like schools are a
permitted use in the zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use in this
area as Public/Semi Public, which describes the designation as, “...land used for facilities such as
government buildings, community service providers, utilities, and religious institutions…Through this
designation the Land Use Plan expresses a desire for these parcels to remain as a public or
semipublic use.” Electronic message boards are commonly found at institutional uses in the Village,
including the Westmont Public Library, Westmont Junior High School, and the south fire station.
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.
● Special Use Permit for an electronic message board sign in the R-3 Single-Unit
Residential District.
Chapter 95, Section 11.05(C)(2) requires that all electronic message board (EMB) signs receive
special use permit approval in the R-3 district when located on a lot occupied by a public or
institutional use to assess impacts on neighboring residences.
Community Unit School District 201 intends to install a ground sign with an EMB to display
messages and relay important information to the community more efficiently than the existing static
changeable message board sign. The new sign will use the existing sign’s support structure, which
allows for the sign to maintain a 12 foot front yard setback where 15 feet is required. All other
setback and size requirements for the new sign are compliant with the zoning ordinance.
Regardless of the zoning district, all EMBs must always comply with the following display regulations
to minimize negative impacts on adjacent properties and for the safety of right-of-way users:
Electronic Message Board Sign Display Regulations (Sec. 11.05(C)(5-10)):
(5) Electronic message board signs may not display flashing, animation, illusion of movement, or
similar displays.
(6) Live or pre-recorded video is prohibited.
(7) Messages must instantaneously change; no transitions are allowed.
(8) Messages may not change more than once every 5 seconds.
(9) Electronic message board signs are subject to compliance with maximum light intensity and
illumination regulations of this article.
(10) The electronic message board sign module must include dimmer controls that can be
adjusted to meet village light emission standards. Proof of such sign module controls must
be provided.
The plans prepared by the petitioner’s contractor, Sign Outlet, state that they will comply with these
regulations. Further evidence of compliance, as well as the required ground sign landscaping buffer,
will be reviewed at the time of permitting. The petitioner further states in their cover letter that the
sign will be turned off at 10:30 p.m., however, there is no formal requirement to do so.
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 018-2026 Page 3 of 4
Page 93 of 123
In 2021, the Westmont Junior High School at 944 Oakwood Drive received a special use permit for
an EMB sign, about one block north from the subject property. The petitioner stated in their
application that they have not received any complaints from neighbors, instead receiving
compliments on the sign being turned off at night and its ability to be dimmed to minimize potential
impacts.
The use must also 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,

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FINDINGS OF FACT
PUBLIC HEARING OF JUNE 10, 2026
PZC 018-2026: Community Unit School District 201, 909 Oakwood Drive, Westmont
Request for a special use permit to allow an electronic message board sign for Westmont High
School in the R-3 Single-Unit Residential District.
CRITERIA NO. 1: That the proposed use or activity is expressly authorized in this
zoning ordinance as a special use.
FINDINGS OF FACT: Section 11.05(C)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes
electronic message board signs as a special use for public or institutional uses in the R-3 Single-
Unit Residential District.
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 proposed electronic board message sign will replace an
existing monument sign at the same location. This location is well-suited to convey school-
related information as it is highly-visible without being obtrusive or blocking sight lines for
motorists or pedestrians. Compared to the existing sign, the new sign will have the ability to
convey more timely information to students, their families, and the general public about school
events, important dates, and other school-related matters, which is in the interest of public
convenience and which will contribute the general welfare of the school community and the
public at large.
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: Westmont Junior High School utilizes a nearly identical
electronic message board sign, which is located across the street from the proposed location of
this sign. The sign at the Junior High School has not resulted in any complaints or issues with
neighboring residents or with the general public. The lights/messages on the proposed sign will
be dimmed at night and/or turned off so as to reduce light pollution and to reduce any adverse
impacts to surrounding properties. The proposed sign meets the size limitations of the Zoning
Ordinance, it will meet the timing limitations of the Zoning Ordinance regarding the rotation of
messages, and it will comply with the Zoning Ordinance’s prohibition against flashing lights,
strobe lights, and other offensive lights.
Page 95 of 123
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: The surrounding area is fully developed. The approval of a
special use permit for this proposed sign will not impede the redevelopment or improvement of
surrounding properties.
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: An electric line of sufficient capacity is already in place and
serves the existing monument sign at the same location. The proposed sign does not require other
utilities, and the proposed sign does not trigger the need for access roads, parking, drainage, or
other facilities.
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: The proposed sign will meet all conditions of the Zoning
Ordinance, and no variances are required.

II. PETITIONER REQUEST:
The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate The Mahj House, an indoor other
participant entertainment establishment (mahjong studio), in the B-1 Downtown Edge District.
III. ZONING ANALYSIS
A. Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designations
The current zoning district of the property is B-1 Downtown Edge District, which is intended to
provide for a mix of supporting uses in the downtown area. The Comprehensive Plan designates the
future land use in this area as Downtown Mixed-Use, which describes the designation as an area
“...[that] should provide for an appropriate variety of land uses.” and that the Downtown should
consist of “primarily mixed-use development that fosters an active pedestrian oriented node”. More
specifically, the Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as a part of the Downtown
subarea’s civic core. The Plan explains that this block should “[contain] public offices, services, and
open space, as well as secondary downtown retail and restaurant activity…”
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.
● Special Use Permit to operate an Indoor Other Participant Entertainment business in
the B-1 Downtown Edge District.
Chapter 95, Section 6.01 requires that all indoor other participant entertainment businesses obtain a
Special Use Permit in the B-1 District to assess impacts like traffic, activities, number of employees,
and operating hours.
The petitioner proposes to operate The Mahj House at 38 South Cass Avenue. They describe their
business operations as a structured and reservation-based mahjong studio open to players of all skill
levels. The petitioner intends to lead instructional classes for beginners, host open play events,
leagues, and the occasional private events. The floor plan submitted shows that the roughly 1,650
square foot space can accommodate up to 40 players across ten tables. However, the petitioner
anticipates capping the class sizes between eight (8) to 16 players.
The petitioner will typically be the only employee on-site, but may occasionally have other instructors
join as the business grows. Lessons will be taught on Tuesday and Friday during the day, and one
on Sunday in the early evening, with eight (8) to 12 players at a time. The studio will also host
leagues on Monday during the day and a separate league at night on Tuesdays.
In order to participate in the classes, open plays, and leagues, one must register for a slot ahead of
time. The sessions are typically two (2) hours long, where mahjong is played in a calm and strategic
manner. As opposed to other entertainment businesses, the petitioner explains in their responses to
standards that mahjong is not a loud nor rambunctious game, which should not negatively affect
surrounding businesses and residences.
Chapter 95, Section 9.04(B)(1) states that proposed uses in buildings zoned B-1 that existed before
December 17, 2020 are not required to provide off-street parking. Richmond Station has a private
parking lot containing 20 spaces for tenants, separate from the underground parking garage for
residents. Marked on-street parking spaces exist on South Cass Avenue directly in front of the
building. The petitioner has provided a traffic impact statement, asserting that by limiting class sizes
____________________________________________________________________________________
PZC 019-2026 Page 3 of 4
Page 99 of 123
to 16, all players should be able to park in the Richmond Station lot. When leagues are hosted, the
petitioner expects that some players will carpool, which should reduce demand for parking in the
private lot and public on-street spaces.
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.
IV. SUMMARY
The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit to operate The Mahj House, an indoor other
participant entertainment business, in the B-1 Downtown Edge District. 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.

VILLAGE OF WESTMONT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FINDINGS OF FACT
PUBLIC HEARING OF JUNE 10, 2026
PZC 019-2026: The Mahj House, LLC, d/ba The Mahj House, regarding property located
at 38 South Cass Avenue, Westmont, Illinois 60559
Request for a special use to allow an indoor other participant entertainment business (mahjong
studio) in the B-1 Downtown Edge 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 – Principal Uses, Table VI-1, of the Westmont
Zoning Ordinance specifically authorizes the operation of an “Entertainment, Participant” use,
and it specifically allows an “Other Participant Entertainment, Indoor” use, within the category
of Commercial Services, as a special use in the B-1 Downtown Edge District. Article VI, Section
6.04(F)(d) describes the types of commercial use that constitute an “Other Participant
Entertainment, Indoor” use, and the Petitioner’s proposed indoor mahjong studio qualifies as an
“Entertainment, Participant” use and an “Other Participant Entertainment, Indoor” use that is
eligible for a special use permit.
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 proposed mahjong gaming studio will provide a structured,
low-pressure, appointment-based entertainment use for the public. It will offer accessible
programming for adults who seek a community-oriented activity outside of traditional nightlife
activities. The use will involve small-group mahjong instruction and guided gameplay, and all
sessions will be scheduled and supervised. This use will therefore serve the public convenience
and will contribute to the general welfare of the 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: The proposed use will be a low volume, lawful use that will be
conducted completely indoors in an existing tenant space. The proposed use will involve seated
gaming activities, without amplified sound and without late night hours. Due to the small class
size and the scheduled sessions, the proposed use is not expected to generate adverse noise,
odors, light, traffic, or parking concerns. The proposed use will promote the well-being of its
participants, and the proposed use is not expected to be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of people living or working in the area or be harmful to surrounding property
Page 101 of 123
values.
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, and this use will
occur within an existing tenant space of an existing building. The proposed use will not generate
adverse impacts on surrounding properties and will compliment surrounding businesses. As a
result, allowing this use will not impede the development or redevelopment of surrounding
properties.
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 proposed use will occur within an existing tenant space of
an existing building, and this tenant space is currently served by adequate utilities, access roads,
public and private parking, drainage, and other necessary facilities. This proposed use is not
expected to place any strain on community services such as police, fire, or public works, and this
proposed use is not expected to unduly burden existing utility facilities, stormwater facilities, or
other facilities. Adequate public parking is located in the immediate vicinity of the property, and
off-street parking is available on the property itself. Due to the limited class size and due to the
advance scheduling of classes, this use is not expected to generate adverse traffic in the area or
create public parking concerns.
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: The proposed use meets all requirements for a special use
permit in the B-1 Downtown Edge Business District, and the proposed use meets all other
relevant regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.

Mr. Greg Ulreich, P.E., CFM oak brook, illinois 60523
Village of Westmont
155 E. Burlington Avenue
Westmont, Illinois 60559
Re: Proposal for Phase III – Part Time Inspection and Material Testing Services
Des Moines Street Reconstruction
Dear Mr. Ulreich:
Thomas Engineering Group, LLC (TEG) respectfully submits the following Proposal for Construction Services to
the Village of Westmont for the Des Moines Street Reconstruction project. TEG is excited about the
opportunity to continue to work with Village staff on this project. We feel that our due diligence, expertise,
and experience will provide Westmont with a valuable investment. TEG staff have already assisted the Village
by preparing the final design engineering, contract documents, specifications, and estimates, and by
performing quality assurance/quality control review of the final plans. Our staff’s project involvement and
local, relevant experience make TEG an excellent fit for this assignment.
Scope of Services
TEG understands that the Village requires part time inspection services and material testing for the
construction of the project. TEG has assembled a construction observation team with professionals that have
substantial relevant experience and are experts in community relations, construction staging, and Contractor
oversight. TEG’s Project Manager, Kent Williams, will be providing administrative and inspection support.
During critical and complicated aspects of the project our proposed Project Manager will be on site to support
our RE. Our proposed Resident Engineer, Jack Bort, will be inspecting both Residential Alley 7S (separate
contract) and Des Moines Street to provide the services outlined in the scope below.
Pre-Construction Tasks:
1. Chair a preconstruction conference with the Contractor, Village, and other parties to discuss the chain
of command, communication procedures, goals, objectives, and potential issues.
2. Obtain from the Contractor a list of proposed suppliers and subcontractors. Make recommendations
to the Village regarding the suitability of the subcontractors for the proposed work.
3. Review the construction schedule submitted by the Contractor for compliance with the contract.
4. Check and approve, or reject and request resubmittal of, any submittals made by the Contractor for
compliance with the contract documents.
Construction Tasks:
1. Keep an inspector’s daily report book in the Village’s preferred format appropriate for the project,
recording hours on the job site, weather conditions, general and specific observations, daily activities,
quantities placed, inspections, decisions, and list of visiting officials.

2. Be present when the Contractor is performing work on-site associated with the project for which
observation is necessary.
3. Verify all construction staking for the drainage work, sanitary work, curb, pavement installation, and
other necessary layouts.
4. Observe the progress and quality of the executed work. Determine if the work is proceeding in
accordance with the Contract Documents. TEG shall keep the Village informed of the progress of the
work and advise the Village of all observed deficiencies of the work and disapprove or reject all work
failing to conform to the Contract Documents.
5. Serve as the Village’s liaison with the Contractor working principally through the Contractor's field
superintendent.
6. Make all arrangements and measure/survey all cross sections from which the various pay items are to
be measured. Checks will be made to determine if the work has been completed in substantial
conformance with the plan cross sections.
7. TEG will document (via photographs, video, and written documentation) the Contractor’s activities on
a daily basis.
8. Cooperate with the Contractor in dealing with the various agencies having jurisdiction over the Project.
9. Review Contractor’s progress on a weekly basis and update the progress schedule. Compare actual
progress to the Contractor’s approved schedule. If the project falls behind schedule, work with the
Contractor to determine the appropriate course of action to get back on schedule.
10. Perform weekly traffic control and erosion control checks.
11. Coordinate QA review of QC plans, QA material testing with TEG’s material testing sub-consultant.
Review, approve, and keep record of all material reports and performance of QA sub-consultant.
12. Prepare payment requisitions and change orders utilizing Village preferred forms. Review
applications for payment with the Contractor for compliance with established submission procedure
and forward them with recommendations to the Village.
13. Prior to final inspection, submit to the Contractor a list of observed items requiring correction and
verify that each correction has been made.
14. Conduct final inspection with the Village and prepare a final punch list of items to be corrected.
15. Verify that all items on the final punch list have been corrected and make recommendations to the
Village for project completion and closeout.
16. Maintain a set of Record Drawings on which all changes are noted.

Post-Construction Tasks:
1. Perform final documentation pursuant to Section A in the Documentation Section of the IDOT
Construction Manual.
2. Close out project within 30 days after all construction is completed.
3. Review the final Record Drawings provided by the Contractor.
4. Verify that all documentation is accomplished and that all material inspections and certifications have
been accounted for and are complete.
5. Compile and submit final documentation. Pursue and complete final close-out.
Fees
We have utilized a direct labor multiplier plus direct costs and material testing/quality assurance costs to
calculate our cost estimate for consultant services. While we believe this estimate accurately reflects our
understanding of Project described in our Proposal, we understand that the Village may interpret the scope
differently and may seek to add, subtract, or modify the scope or level of effort contained herein.
Our overall Part Time Inspection and Material Testing Services fee for the Des Moines Street Reconstruction
Project is $90,500.00.
We are truly excited about the opportunity to continue working for Westmont and helping serve your
community by providing cost-effective solutions that are context appropriate. We look forward to answering
any questions that you may have about our firm, staff, or experience. We are highly confident that our
expertise and excitement for providing these municipal services will be readily apparent in our proposal. If you
have any questions or require additional information regarding our fee, please e-mail me at kentw@thomas-
engineering.com or call me at (630) 338-5061.
Sincerely,
thomas engineering group, llc
