A village staff member told the committee the state will maintain Route 53 and bridge structures through a series of contracts over the next two years. As part of the work, IDOT agreed to install an off-road, 10-foot-wide multi-use path on the south side of Rand Road (west of Route 53), a stretch that passes through three jurisdictions. The staff member said the multi-jurisdictional arrangement allows the state to install and maintain the path at no cost to the village or the other local governments.

The committee also considered a state plan to rebuild the bridge carrying Dundee Road over Salt Creek and to install a five-foot sidewalk to fill a current gap from St. Mark’s to Smith Street. The staff member said the new sidewalk would connect with a recently constructed access path the village installed with county forest-preserve participation and that the village would be responsible for maintaining the sidewalk once it is built.

When a councilmember raised concerns about potential downstream impacts to Salt Creek and floodplain limits, staff said the state completed detailed hydrologic and hydraulic assessments and that the project would result in “no adverse impact downstream” and “no change in the floodplain or floodway limits, downstream of Dundee Road.” Committee members encouraged outreach to affected residents earlier in the project timeline so the state can explain the assessments and expected impacts.

Committee members expressed support for the multi-use path and sidewalk linkage and discussed coordinating with Cook County to complete a separate gap on Quentin Avenue that would further connect neighborhoods to forest-preserve access. The motions to approve the IDOT local agency agreement and the maintenance letter were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Council & Committee of the Whole Regular Meeting 1/13/2025 7:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Infrastructure and Environment Committee approved a local agency agreement with IDOT for Route 53 improvements that includes a no-cost 10-foot multi-use path through multiple jurisdictions and agreed to a maintenance letter for a state-built sidewalk and bridge work near Dundee Road and Salt Creek.","taxTitle","Palatine, Cook County, Illinois","taxId",12501,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098148,"Committee recommends special use and extra Class B liquor license for Millennium Cigar and Liquor at 235 W.

A village staff member identified the tenant space as about 3,100 square feet and summarized the business plan, saying the store would sell liquor, tobacco products (including cigars and e-cigarettes), nonalcoholic drinks and operate within the village’s liquor-code hours. The staff member recited the applicant’s intended hours: Sunday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to midnight.

The staff member told the committee the petitioner committed to place deliveries at the rear of the property, to comply with signage requirements and to coordinate interior security measures with the Palatine Police Department. The staff member also said the petitioner had been informed that “CBD hemp THC products are not included and therefore prohibited from being sold…if they get approval and they were to choose, in some way to wanna sell those items, they'd have to come back through with their special use amendment and be back before, ultimately, the the village council.”

Abbas Weiss, who said he owns George’s Wine and Spirits across the street and lives in Palatine, read a letter that was included in the meeting packet objecting to the new store. The staff member noted two emails of objection were included in the packet, one from an existing liquor store within about three-quarters of a mile and one from another individual objecting to an additional liquor store.

Councilman Helms asked to confirm the age requirement for purchases; staff replied that the age requirement is 21 for cigarettes, tobacco and liquor.

The staff member said the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the application and unanimously recommended approval. The committee moved, seconded and conducted a roll-call vote; the transcript records affirmative votes from Councilman Lamoran, Councilman Falkenberg, Huntsman Millar, Huntsman Madzinski, Councilman Kozlowski, Councilman Helms and Mayor Schwantz.

The committee’s recommendation advances the special-use petition and license increase to the council and Liquor Commission as required; staff emphasized that final building-permit, security and signage compliance will occur through separate permit reviews.

The committee record shows objections from at least one nearby business and a resident email; staff noted the petitioner agreed to restrictions on specific hemp/THC products and described delivery, signage and security commitments.","The Police Policy and Code Services Committee recommended approval of a special use to allow a package liquor and tobacco store at 235 W.

The event’s organizers told the Liquor Commission they will set up two days before the official start and that fireworks are planned for July 3 and a parade on Saturday, July 5. A village staff member said Wood Street would be temporarily closed beginning Tuesday, July 1, and that the organizers “were able to work with our police department to, get the fireworks moved to a time that worked for everyone.”

Village staff recommended approval of the street-closure request to the Fire Policy and Community Information Committee. That committee moved and seconded the measure and took a voice vote; members signified approval.

The Palatine Liquor Commission separately approved a class A/E temporary liquor license to allow beer-and-wine sales at Community Park during the Fourth of July festivities. A liquor commission staff member told the commission the event organizer would “comply with the police department checking IDs, but this is a beer sale of beer and wine at Community Park for the, Fourth of July festivities.” The commission voted in favor and the permit was granted.

Casey Siani, who identified herself as a co-chair of the Palatine Junior Chamber and a co-chair of Hometown Fest 2025, thanked the village and commission for approving the permits and noted the event’s scale and volunteer effort. “It’s a signature event for the town,” she said, adding organizers appreciate the village’s flexibility.

Organizers said they plan standard parade and festival operations, and that temporary signage, vendor deliveries and on-site security will follow village rules. The Liquor Commission required compliance with ID checks; the staff reiterated that hours and other liquor-code requirements apply.

The approvals cover the committee/commission permissions described above; organizers and staff indicated additional permits and site-specific approvals will be handled through normal village processes ahead of the event.","Village committees and the Liquor Commission approved temporary street closures, fee waivers and a temporary beer-and-wine permit for JC’s Hometown Fest set for July 2–6, with the organizers and police coordinating fireworks and parade timing.","actionData","errors"]
