Councilwoman Brady moved to move Item 17, the Proposal Award for Mosquito Management Services before Item 14 on the agenda. Councilwoman Ferguson seconded the motion. On voice vote, all present voted yes. Motion passed.

17. Proposal Award-Mosquito Management Services

Councilman Philpot asked Public Works Director Michael Magnuson to explain why the more expensive proposal is being awarded. Mr. Magnuson explained that when a proposal or bid is let out, requirements are outlined that must be met. He said especially with this type of work,an emphasis is placed on making sure companies have the appropriate licenses and can perform lab work.

Mr. Magnuson indicated the materials provided to the City Council include a table illustrating requirements and how/what respondents submitted back for the proposal. He said the low proposer was missing several critical requirements of the proposal, including not listing staff licenses in the state as applicators for pesticides, not listing the location of laboratory facilities -a key component of the City's program includes weekly tests, and not providing their protocol for the rusty patch bumble bee, an endangered species requiring special measures when treating for mosquitoes.

In addition, the low proposer listed one municipality that it works with in Illinois. Staff contacted the municipality and learned the low proposer acts in a support capacity in that situation. Mr. Magnuson said this is concerning because the City relies on the contractor to handle the entire program in consultation with City.

Councilman Philpot thanked Mr. Magnuson for his explanation and answering his questions.

Acting Mayor Haleblian asked Emily Glasberg, from Clarke Mosquito, what criteria is used to determine when spraying would occur. She said the goal of the City's program is to reduce exposure to West Nile Virus. There are several factors that are considered when determining a spraying will occur - positive results for West Nile in traps in Crystal Lake and surrounding communities and very high levels of nuisance mosquitoes. Years ago, the City developed a system that if a threshold for the number of mosquitoes is met over several days in one trap or in several traps, a treatment will occur.

Acting Mayor asked how applications were applied. Ms. Glasberg said treatments are applied by UL V mounted truck spayers between dusk and dawn. A fine mist is applied, knocking down adult mosquitoes. She said helicopters are used for larval application.

Councilwoman Brady said Crystal Lake has a state-of-the art program, developed by the City working with scientists. She asked Ms.Glasberg if other communities use a similar method.

Ms.Glasberg said most communities have programs similar to Crystal Lake using real-time data, but may not have a threshold tied to spraying. She said West Nile Virus is a big factor and Clarke works with many neighboring communities and can coordinate treatments.

Councilwoman Brady moved to award the proposal for Mosquito Management Services to the most qualified, responsible and responsive proposer, Clarke Environmental, and adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a two-year base contract and three optional, one-year extensions with Clarke Environmental in the amounts submitted. Councilman Philpot seconded the motion. On roll call, all present voted yes. Motion passed.

14. Fiduciary Real Estate Development - Conceptual Planned Unit Development review for a mixed-use development at the Crystal Court Shopping Center - Discussion Only

Tony DeRosa with Fiduciary Development located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Paul Sheridan with Hamilton Partners, a private real estate developer based in Itasca, Illinois, provided the Acting Mayor and City Council with an overview of the Conceptual Planned Unit Development for a mixed-used development at Crystal Court Shopping Center.

Acting Mayor Haleblian thanked Mr. DeRosa and Sheridan for their time and investment in this project, and thanked City staff and the City Council for their efforts and patience. He said this is an important project to be considered that has taken a long time, adding this is the type of project where patience is a virtue.

Acting Mayor Haleblian said the retail market is vastly different from when Walmart and the grocery store left this location. He said there was talk about filling the space quickly-JC Penney was going to locate there, and considered where is JC Penny now as a company overall. He said this is serendipitous, he is very excited about what he has seen so far.

Mr. DeRosa thanked the Acting Mayor and City Council for the opportunity to present the concept. He provided a history and experience overview for Fiduciary Real Estate Development and the partners working on this project. In addition, he discussed the market, as well as the vision and concept for the property.

Fiduciary Real Estate, founded in 1984, is a commercial developer based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company invests in commercial real estate, focusing on mixed-use developments, luxury market-rate multi-family development, commercial, retail, medical office and industrial projects. Fiduciary has a portfolio valued at $1.5 billion. They are a long-term hold investor with a proven track-record on complex projects.

Mr. DeRosa discussed examples of past projects, ranging from a medical office surgery facility, small retail/restaurants, mixed-use developments, industrial developments, and residential developments, including the Riverview mixed-use development in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. This development has many similar elements to those concepts proposed for Crystal Court. Riverview is an approximately 100-acre horizontal mixed-use development that consists of housing in the middle, a grocery use, and possible hospitality and senior components.

Mr. DeRosa also discussed their The Seasons residential development in West Dundee, on Randall Road, which will be completed shortly. The Seasons are similar to the anchor housing discussed for Crystal Court. The goal is to bring top-notch housing that is supported by the market to the development.

Mr. DeRosa introduced other Fiduciary team members as well as Manhard Engineering, who will be the engineering firm on the project, and Paul Sheridan of Hamilton Partners, who will be working on the commercial and retail component of the project.

Mr. Sheridan provided an overview of Hamilton Partners, a private developer out of Itasca, Illinois, focusing on office, industrial and retail. He said Hamilton Partners has a combined portfolio of over 20 million square feet of space between these disciplines. The emphasis in the retail group has historically been grocery-anchored shopping centers, which tend to hold up well over time. Hamilton Partners has experience working with Whole Foods, Mariano's, Costco and other stores.

Mr. Sheridan said Hamilton Partners strives to be the best in class at everything they do, as demonstrated through use of heavy landscaping, pavers, screening, and use of high quality materials. He discussed Willow Festival, located in Northbrook, which includes Whole Foods, REI, Lowes, Best Buy and other tenants including restaurants. He also discussed a public-private development in Oak Lawn, which includes a Coopers Hawk, which Hamilton made into a gateway entrance into that community.

Mr. DeRosa said the team began working on this project a year and a half ago and recently has gotten the parcels under contract. He said the property is made up of several parcels, which led to a few challenges for the redevelopment project until the final piece was secured late in 2020. There is an opportunity at this location, and the team wants to set a high standard to develop the property. By using horizontal mixed-use development, it is hoped the location will attract new retailers and businesses, new types of housing and increased revenues, as well as serving as a gateway to Three Oaks Recreation Area.

Mr. DeRosa explained how timing has played an important role in the development of the area. There have been multiple owners of parcels that needed to be acquired, including the former Mega Trampoline and the former Party City locations, in order to make the project happen. There are infrastructure needs for the project and a partnership with the City is necessary for the project as well.

Mr. DeRosa reviewed retail market trends, both pre-COVID and during the pandemic, and the reinvention of retail stores to incorporate e-commerce. In addition, he discussed multi-family housing market trends and the shift to more health-conscious lifestyles. People want to live in the suburbs, somewhere they can walk to amenities, and there is a desire to have larger spaces with private entrances. He said in order to be successful, the project needs to be market driven. The housing component will support the commercial element.

The market demand for a more modem, luxury housing exists in this area. People who choose to rent - snowbirds, empty-nesters and young professionals would be the target populations for the multi-family component. The average rent will range from $1,300 to $2,400. The community will be upscale and unique, offering private entrances, a townhouse feel, attached garages and other amenities.

Mr. DeRosa said the vision for the site will be a mix of market-driven complementary uses, including retail, sit-down restaurants, and/or a boutique grocery store (such as Trader Joe's). There could be a medical or hospitality use as well. He said the community will also be unique because it will have a built-in customer base, offering different types of housing, including market-driven two story or three story development, possible senior housing and townhomes.

The developer reviewed several examples of possible high-end retail development and design aesthetics pulling from the Three Oaks Recreation Area with wood and stone elements. Place and experience-making will be important in this development. The examples were developed based on working with staff.

Four different concept plans have been developed offering commercial flexibility to meet market demand. Mr. Sheridan reviewed these options with the City Council. He said although specific tenants are unknown, inferences can be made based on the market.

Mr. Sheridan indicated a fun, full-service sit down restaurant would do well at the former Colonial Cafe location. This would serve as a gateway to the development, and attention would be paid to maintain sightlines to avoid blocking businesses when proceeding further into the development. This will help market retail for the development.

Mr. Sheridan said the other larger uses to the far right of the site could be a grocer, senior housing, a hotel or entertainment use - these can all be accommodated in this portion of the plan. He said the plan will be well received, and Hamilton is excited to bring the plan to the marketplace.

Mr. DeRosa said several versions of the plan have been developed, and it was decided not to increase traffic flow through the residential portion of the site. He indicated townhomes may be able to be located on the southern portion of the project and have rooftops or balconies overlooking the water. There is an open space that the use has not been determined at this time, but feedback is being sought from the City Council.

The developer said it is hoped the City Council will give feedback on interest in the project. Mr. DeRosa showed a flythrough of the conceptual plan for the site.

Mr. DeRosa outlined the five items that need to happen for the project to be a success, including a shared vision by the City and developer, partnership with City financially, the project must be market-driven, parties must be flexible in putting pieces together, and the timing needs to be right.

Councilman Hopkins asked the developer to clarify what information is needed from the City Council at this time.

Mr. DeRosa thanked Councilman Hopkins and said they are looking to find out if the City Council likes the concept plans presented to see if the developer is a good fit for the community. If this is the case, the developer will work with the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff to keep the project moving forward.

Community Development Director Michelle Rentzsch introduced Lee Brown, President of Teska Associates, to review key points to help the discussion.

Mr. Brown reminded the City Council that the developer is not suggesting the animation details are the final product. He said the developer is on the same page as City staff, that this is not only about land use and site planning, but community character and this is an opportunity to create a sense of place at this location, and create a vibrant new element in the community.

Mr. Brown said much of the animation focuses on the central "spine" of the development, providing the opportunity for a gateway to Three Oaks Recreation Area. The walkable, pedestrian-friendly design of the entertainment area is going to be a critical component of the approval process and the acceptance of the project in the community.

The four alternative concept plans make clear the need for flexibility in the design process. There are opportunities for different types of retail and commercial development depending on the market in the designs.

Mr. Brown focused on key points:

• What is going to make this development special? The interest into drawing people into the entertainment/retail areas of the development, as well as Three Oaks Recreation Area is why this cannot be just another subdivision.

• How will balance be achieved on the site? There will be many different types of activity on the site, and this needs to be supported and safe for residents and pedestrians.

• As evidenced by the four concept plans, the approval process is going to need a great degree of flexibility. It is possible the retail and commercial pieces will not be known for some time. An approved site plan or development agreement will be needed that will allow the market to play out.

Ms. Rentzsch stated that the developer is looking for feedback on the public space in the site. She said the green space in the center will draw people into the project from Route 14 and Three Oaks Recreation Area. These areas could be open spaces, street furniture, landscaping - the City wants to work in concert with the developer regarding the elements.

Ms. Rentzsch said award-winning developments throughout the Chicagoland area have these open space elements, and they can be whatever the City desires them to be. She presented several examples of developments with open space elements, whether it be a plaza, seating area, center green, lawn, gardens or another idea, that are vibrant both day and night. She said feedback is needed for these public elements, and staff would also like to explore options with the developer.

Ms. Rentzsch outlined discussion points:

• Opinion regarding land uses.

• Preference for which concept plan is favored.

• Feedback on public space elements/amenities.

• Architectural Feedback- Is the developer moving in the right direction?

Mr. Sheridan also asked the City Council for feedback regarding types of uses not wanted as part of the project. He asked the City Council if there is something that does not make sense for Crystal Lake.

Councilman Hopkins congratulated Mr. DeRosa and Mr. Sheridan on the project. He said the main entranceway has been a vision of the City for a long time, and he is excited to see this in the plan. He is also encouraged that as developers, the team is committed to building a high quality, best in class product that will stand the test of time.

Councilman Hopkins stated he loves the emphasis on the outdoor elements, including open space to walk around, and he even likes the entrance with pavers for the boardwalk feel. He drove through and spoke with someone who lives at The Seasons development in West Dundee by Fiduciary, and he liked the open space elements included, and said the development seemed top notch. He feels there are opportunities for the creation of places to gather in the apartment and townhome areas.

In addition, Councilmember Hopkins said he was hesitant about the garages, but after seeing them at the West Dundee development, he liked the "carriage-house" style. He also really liked the common theme of the proposed concepts including elements of Three Oaks Recreation Area that are incorporated at least in the main corridor. He said he is in favor of the outdoor areas for the commercial uses, and views this as an enduring trend for people to keep sitting outside.

Councilman Hopkins said he is in most in favor of Concept Plan A, featuring senior housing, this is a need in Crystal Lake. He likes the townhomes and loves the park/open space in the plan, whether it is an amphitheater, or another use. He said he is not in favor of the hotel in the plan, he feels there is a better commercial use or more open space could be there. In addition, he said attention will need to be paid to engineering and design of structures to the north end of the site to make sure as many structures as possible get a view of the lakes.

Councilman Hopkins asked about the plans for the two commercial lots up front, and maximizing this area without decreasing the impact on the rest of the site. He felt these two lots need to carry through and have the plaza elements, too.

Mr. DeRosa said a hotel may not be an option at this point due to the market. Councilman Hopkins said even if the market dictated a hotel as part of the development, he did not think it would be the best use.

Councilman Hubbard said he really likes the plans. He said the look and feel is amazing, and agreed with Councilman Hopkins that Plan A is preferred, with the different mix of uses for the site, which has been wanted for the community. He commended the developer for taking staff recommendations and building a plan around them.

Councilman Hubbard said he is having difficulty picturing how the green space on the site would be used. Considering where it is located, he said he does not see it being used by anyone who does not live in this area. He was unsure if it would be maintained by the City or the Crystal Lake Park District, and asked if the space could be moved closer to the retail, making the outdoor spaces there larger for retail center patrons.

Overall, Councilman Hubbard said he agreed with Councilman Hopkins and the project is great. He said he is looking forward to working with the developer on the project.

Councilwoman Ferguson said she visited the West Dundee development and even with rows of buildings at this location, there was enough landscaping and different architectural elements to break up the long, linear look. She said she liked the stone on the clubhouse and appreciated the overall look of the development.

Councilwoman Ferguson said she is happy overall with the commercial and is in agreement with the conceptual plans. She is concerned with traffic going through Three Oaks Recreation Area as a pass through. Overall, she said she likes the feel and the concept. She really likes the smaller retail and use of overhead lighting in the plaza areas and does not want to see a big box store in this project.

Councilman Philpot said he is very excited about the development and the space being used, and loves the mixed-use development idea. He said he likes having the commercial upfront with the green space median and trees.

Councilman Philpot agreed with Councilman Hubbard, stating he also wished the outdoor plaza areas with the overhead lighting were larger. He would be open to bringing Liberty Road into the development or terminating into the neighborhood if this made sense. He also said he was concerned with cut-through traffic at Three Oaks Recreation Area.

Councilman Philpot said he is excited to see how the green space will be used, whether it is an amphitheater or sculpture garden or another use, as well as who would manage the space long term. If the market dictated a hotel on the site, he stated he might be ok with it, as there are number of large events held at Three Oaks Recreation Area, and it would be used. The senior facility might also be a good use.

Councilman Philpot stated he was also in favor of keeping the theme of Three Oaks Recreation Area throughout the development, incorporating similar elements into the design. He said he is excited about the development and thanked the developer.

Mr. DeRosa said traffic has been discussed and will continue to be discussed for the project. He said it is a balancing act for all considerations on the site.

Councilwoman Brady said she understands now why a traffic light is recommended at the entrance of Three Oaks Recreation Area and Main Street. She asked if the Three Oaks entrance is a regular roadway. The developer said the entrance is a two-lane road. She said the traffic circulation of the former Crystal Court was awful, and she would leave Liberty where it is located.

Councilwoman Brady said there has been a hotel planned nearby for over twenty years, and that the market needs to dictate what is on the site. She said the developer's record shows that high quality tenants will be brought to the project, and it is too soon to say what should and should not be in the project.

Councilwoman Brady commented she is concerned with the amount of parallel parking in the plan. There are very few places in the community where there is parallel parking, and she said maybe angled parking would be better. She said overall the project is great and it will be interesting to see what type of open space would fit here - a small space just to sit, or something more, and mentioned a small gazebo space by the Fox River in Algonquin where concerts are held. She said she is very excited for the project and it has been a long time in the making.

Mr. DeRosa stated there is more work to be done for the public space, including parking, but they will develop ideas and work through it.

Acting Mayor Haleblian said he loves the project, and several ideas brought up during the presentation resonated with him. First is what will happen commercially along Route 14. He said the commercial end is a more important component for him. He said the entrance will be critical in setting the tone for the entire project, which he sees as a lifestyle project - for better shopping and entertainment.

He said he would like to see ideas on what would happen at the old Baker's Square location. Regarding a boutique grocery store or a hotel, nothing is set in stone at this point. He was not sure if the senior location could be moved to the other side of the site, and suggested connecting Liberty with the east-south roadway, removing the north-south Three Oaks roadway and adding luxury townhomes overlooking the lakes.

Acting Mayor Haleblian said he did not think an amphitheater would necessarily be the best use for the public space in the project, adding this amenity may be added to Three Oaks Recreation Area one day. He also asked if instead of two-story 20 unit buildings, they could be three stories and open up more green space.

Mr. DeRosa said Fiduciary feels very strongly about the two-story buildings, and what is needed to be successful. A few of taller buildings have been added to the project. He said the project in West Dundee, which is all two-story buildings, is out-performing the market based on what is being offered.

Acting Mayor Haleblian said that is a fair answer. He said the ambiance and the aesthetic are going to be what makes it successful, that there is one shot to get this project right. Mr. DeRosa said that taller buildings would give the project more density, but that is not the right fit for this project. He thanked the City Council for their feedback and for the opportunity.

Acting Mayor Haleblian asked ifthere was any public comment regarding the project. There was no public comment.

Councilwoman Ferguson asked Ms. Rentzsch if she would like additional comments from the City Council. Ms. Rentzsch indicated good feedback was provided tonight and staff has a good sense of direction for the project.

20. Public Hearing for the Annual Budget for the 202112022 Fiscal Year; and Adoption of the Annual Budget Ordinance, Salary Ordinance, Ordinance amending Section 515, Water and Sewer, of the City Code, and Vehicle Leasing and Replacement Program for the 2021/2022 Fiscal Year
