Staff said the subject property is an existing single-family residence zoned R-2 that currently has a detached garage in the front yard with a 25-foot setback and a shed located on the property line. The proposal removes both detached structures and builds a new two-car attached garage and a modest kitchen expansion; the new addition would be set back about 20 to 20.5 feet from the Sherman Road property line.

During review, staff examined comparability with surrounding properties and noted that many nearby yards are nonconforming with corner, side-yard or front-yard setbacks. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval and staff also recommended the special use.

Staff noted one parkway tree must be removed to extend the driveway; the petitioners agreed to install three new parkway trees along the Sherman Street right-of-way to mitigate the loss. No members of the public spoke opposing the request at committee.

The committee voted in favor; the item was placed on the council consent agenda for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Council & Committee of the Whole Regular Meeting 3/17/2025 7:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Police Policy and Code Services Committee voted unanimously to recommend a special-use approval for a 640-square-foot addition at 328 North Plum Grove Road, replacing a detached front-yard garage and shed; staff noted the removal of a parkway tree and required planting of three replacement parkway trees.","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},6098123,"Council authorizes reimbursements to Palatine Park District for contracted mowing; budgeted savings noted",141,1532000,1673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c&start=1532&end=1673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c/thumbnail_1532000.jpg","/articles/6098123/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Council-authorizes-reimbursements-to-Palatine-Park-District-for-contracted-mowing-budgeted-savings-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098123-e3f3e9d1329c27e5b2760bdef5198ded/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178532&Signature=EpmVdtx44TwqqM0ngtI2to084itvE6r8EsAd0tPGASHbsFAIdmV-yxKHEyAovWjZAirtE0TC2dWfzg~Lj3czkTUq-f1~sS1YviKljESOowQ3lJsQZBl9nMyjH4864H5MBlYOA5slAYOC2U5uf~2Haa04bswYhrb3tw1IOxwELeKQ9iZMfzR-seiGV2RDy5w5KVmLzuSxYerl6W3i4unThODyb8sF~WXlTqeZ6RJEBT3ojqmTQLqPUXcHPLXJULqPY5tuAsSJ8doP4as2mcvV43IySwFnG2l1tU6FHFue5IP5oKZ4PvnX~2PYQRUHGjWijccFgC~JhhplDGUi8XRULw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council authorized an agreement allowing the Village Manager to reimburse the Palatine Park District for contracted grass mowing services after staff described a multi-year partnership and cost savings this season.

Staff said both agencies prefer contracted mowing and the park district has acted as lead agency to pay the vendor with the village reimbursing the park district. The low bidder for 2025 produced savings of more than $14,000 compared with the village’s budgeted amount, staff said, and recommended continuing the arrangement. Staff also proposed maintaining the same cost in 2026 provided contractor performance is acceptable.

Committee members asked no substantive follow-up questions and the committee approved the motion by voice vote; the item was placed on the council consent agenda for final approval.","Council authorized the village manager to approve reimbursements to the Palatine Park District for contracted grass mowing after staff said the low bidder produced more than $14,000 in savings compared with budget and would propose maintaining the 2026 price if performance is acceptable.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098128,"Palatine awards 2025 road contracts, adds supplemental resurfacing and approves salt purchase; projects below budget",259,1637000,1896000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c&start=1637&end=1896","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c/thumbnail_1637000.jpg","/articles/6098128/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Palatine-awards-2025-road-contracts-adds-supplemental-resurfacing-and-approves-salt-purchase-projects-below-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098128-bc2464912f493deec6e62893fc2f7290/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178532&Signature=aouKm-4VHyJkshUJygH~KK7X5wCr9Z0Pz6IhuGS2V7BqF-1xXQCaPra0YmqgoRgnSrhNGSzRRIDxXwNCpSXfc3PDAhJ0-DrelAEGEoh-Q1n8DY9T6U7V0nLC-YOhzsKD~ty8UG3qga63SMRmKyei4SJ4qcuMyOWuEmVsevqLsPkJ-bHFO35TGGGQANQCl~gm10PgA9HHmTH0vcZaLEadqNOU0xUas8I1SnBfKUidGt4LBM~qr4Zq4U31g6tfZt8U33XO08WEyGRRcgQEKcBfxSYhlMmyDidjyd1R9qeoqHfrfwhjZ9ppGOqtLJwj29xS0eEML8rF-4s9H3i4Bzepdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Palatine Village Council moved forward on a suite of 2025 street maintenance contracts, including awards for the principal roadway rehabilitation project, a supplemental resurfacing package and authorization to procure road salt through the State of Illinois purchasing cooperative.

Staff told the Infrastructure and Environment Committee the 2025 roadway rehabilitation award covers reconstruction and rehabilitation of Michigan, Brockway and Gilbert streets plus concrete edging work on Louise and Cornell. The low compliant bid came in roughly 15% under budget, yielding savings of more than $315,000 on that contract alone.

Because of additional savings from a February resurfacing contract, staff proposed using about 60% of combined savings to add nine more streets to this season’s resurfacing program through supplemental contracts and in-house resurfacing work. Staff said the combined adjustments would allow work on 83 road sections covering about 15.25 miles—roughly 10% of Palatine’s road inventory—while leaving about $300,000 in budget contingency.

The committee also approved participation in the state purchasing cooperative to solicit pricing for up to 3,360 tons of road salt for next winter. Staff noted Palatine had substantially fulfilled last winter’s contracts and that dome storage is nearly full for the current season.

All three committee motions passed unanimously and were placed on the council consent agenda. Staff said the supplemental resurfacing would honor the same unit prices as the awarded contract and that one change order would extend Cornell improvements just west of Smith Street.

Committee members and staff described Palatine’s resurfacing program as delivering competitive pricing compared with neighboring communities and said the added streets represent an opportunity to accelerate pavement maintenance this year.","Council committees approved awards for the 2025 roadway rehabilitation and supplemental resurfacing projects and authorized participation in the State of Illinois purchasing cooperative for up to 3,360 tons of road salt; staff said combined contract savings exceeded $760,000 and the rehab contract came in about 15% under budget.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098133,"Palatine accepts IL EPA forgivable loan award to investigate and replace lead service lines in two zones",468,1899000,2367000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c&start=1899&end=2367","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c/thumbnail_1899000.jpg","/articles/6098133/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Palatine-accepts-IL-EPA-forgivable-loan-award-to-investigate-and-replace-lead-service-lines-in-two-zones","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098133-03ff2e4abf339efb2e799fa35906477d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178532&Signature=fOCTeL52~T8z3c1PSPZeDl3E1-bQ1mkiLVjjKjqW6xG1N0Nw0Q1hMYyB2BdeoN-o-X2NUs0QAdga4CBuaF4pyiy6fG2UeRmBJR1vgRS8VIQsQ-lQBgbd7p8Zl-i1mcMoQmULsQHyY5ujaBzOQqPBfsB~zBs-m~e5uLMuWHPIEJ~eHJ67DoZS0gvRVVUhzTBRQ1wSxjusBWnW8XPxEiwQqZgCnokrceeFuLIMLVcwVE6U9BlqGPHCmW1gXLftQOqOHIGdwQ0o-7cTMQ8uCNrXA1GGi~HU~Q34uYlvC-X5J8L2Yjb~xU9zprntFprYf20jkav8OTcgJKMthyQt~3A2jw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Palatine Village Council authorized staff to accept a forgivable loan/grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency of up to $3,027,000 to investigate and replace lead water service lines in two state-defined geographic areas.

Staff told the Business, Finance and Budget Committee the award covers two zones — one bounded by Northwest Highway, Smith, Dundee and Hicks Road; the other east of Old Hicks and north of Buffalo Creek — selected to meet the state’s funding parameters. The village will not incur debt: the state administers the award as a forgivable loan/grant, and the council will return for approvals before any specific contracts are awarded.

Staff asked the public and council to note this award is a targeted, state-driven program rather than an unrestricted pot of funds. The village plans to use the state funds to test service lines at the shutoff valve and, where lines are confirmed as lead, coordinate replacements with property owners. For qualifying properties covered by grant funding the village said the replacements would be 100% grant-funded and no local cost-sharing would be required.

Village staff said the municipal voluntary lead service-line replacement program has already produced more than 50 homeowner-initiated replacements. Staff estimate the village has roughly 550 to 600 lead service lines remaining; village presentations estimated a total replacement cost on the order of $6.5 million to $7 million across the system, though staff said those figures will be refined as testing and program design proceed.

Council members asked whether replacements on multifamily properties would be coordinated with owners; staff said the village will test at the curb valve and then work with homeowners or property owners to schedule replacements. Staff also confirmed Palatine continues to use orthophosphate treatment as a corrosion-control measure in the distribution system.

The committee vote was unanimous; the item was placed on the council consent agenda for final approval. Staff said they will continue to update the council as the state finalizes program rules and as staff refines an implementation plan.","Council approved authorization to accept a forgivable loan/grant of up to $3,027,000 from the Illinois EPA to investigate and replace lead water service lines in two specified areas; staff said the award is forgivable, not village debt, and a voluntary replacement program is ongoing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":46,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098137,"Palatine council backs neighborhood parking restrictions near church; manager empowered to tweak rules",1281,1529000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c&start=248&end=1529","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824883-4ff5867d7413c22f76f5ba88a5ab540c/thumbnail_248000.jpg","/articles/6098137/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Palatine-council-backs-neighborhood-parking-restrictions-near-church-manager-empowered-to-tweak-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098137-b9908453e7cc6de43892f1b7ec124476/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178532&Signature=fEx-91engJlmyCHlzqw6oMMK7w0EncLF0vpB48SSNjKBmhcfrQac-KqwxaQYrWc~E2E8VxrFBgcOkSPEYtdHHO5C3s6yInLdQ84FpH0FmaU3SyZHcvtIIKPlBQFEyja206DUUQ4PuO-oMojY2w-W8FdzOPyvHRgPAWTyJZcC6DOTRHBk6ucs9rJNhfXr5q-PctbTcb--62IlJRhSgXqYUa7qt3O89NIQZV1iE~iOl0VbnFCo~OyQYwRvD~pGz5IfohrTFsyNndEu1LT3eGsKx5PSO9tZPygC7aoN2GWvpW4FNtHElIF8vfg4JLIxPXeyXe6CyFfXXSKp7qZgsvyRfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Palatine Village Council approved an ordinance to add a neighborhood area parking-restrictions section to Chapter 18 of the village code after weeks of outreach and a committee recommendation.

The ordinance, recommended by the Police Policy and Code Services Committee, gives the village manager authority to adjust restrictions in a defined geographic area and authorizes enforcement tools including new signage, towing for severe violators and a proposed doubling of fines to $100 for violations in the problem corridor. Councilman Lammert introduced the item and staff summarized the approach as an effort to balance neighborhood safety with the congregation’s need to gather.

The measure grew out of neighbor complaints about parking congestion and sight-distance hazards near Illinois and Benton and related intersections. Staff described proposed controls that generally restrict parking on one side of some streets (primarily Sunday mornings into about 12:30 p.m.) and add “no parking anytime” at the Illinois–Benton intersection. The plan includes a near-term pilot period intended to run through several events in April so staff can evaluate effects and adjust using the manager’s delegated authority.

Residents described safety and property-damage concerns. Lauren Dapelt, who lives near Wilmette and Benton, said large events push vehicles two blocks south and that narrow 20-foot streets make driveway access difficult; she said visitors “are constantly parking on our grass” and that the damage has been expensive to repair. Katie Vesterlainer, who lives at Michigan and Oak, asked staff to consider pedestrian safety on a block where congregants walk in the middle of the street and suggested a four-way stop at Michigan and Benton.

Representatives of the congregation described efforts already taken to reduce neighborhood impacts. Father Yoda Sloman Duke, associate pastor of the nearby church, said the congregation has secured permission from two nearby businesses and a high school to provide about 150 off-site parking spaces and has used volunteers and shuttle buses during recent services.

Staff said they have been communicating with the church and youth center, that extra signage and off-site parking arrangements were already placed this past weekend, and that a police officer is being assigned to patrol the area on Sundays during the pilot. Matt Berry, public works director, was identified as the point person for resident feedback; staff asked neighbors to call 911 if a vehicle is creating an immediate safety hazard so police can respond.

The committee vote was unanimous and the council’s voice vote placed the ordinance on the consent agenda for final approval.

Planning staff said the ordinance is meant to be a “work in progress” and urged patience as staff monitors performance and adjusts times, locations and signage as needed. A follow-up report was expected in April after initial implementation.","The council approved a text amendment to add neighborhood area parking restrictions to Chapter 18 of the Village Code after staff described targeted limits, doubled fines in problem locations and a short evaluation period; residents and the church provided feedback on safety and overflow parking.","actionData","errors"]
