CITY NEWS >> PARK RIDGE
Aldermen Mull Summit Mall Parking Lot Redevelopment BY IGOR STUDENKOV For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com
Last summer, two developers approached Park Ridge with a similar idea. They wanted to take the cityowned Summit Mall Parking lot, put a residential development on top of it and turn the first floor into a public garage. During the Dec. 10 meeting of Public Works Committee of the Whole, aldermen got a chance to weigh in on the concept. All agreed that while they weren’t against redeveloping the parking lot per se, they weren’t sure they wanted to go with that concept in particular. And while the aldermen had different ideas for what exactly should
happen to the land, they agreed to research the issue further and figure out exactly what they wanted to go there. The parking lot is located directly south of the eponymous shopping strip, at the east end of Uptown area. As the memo to the aldermen noted, the land used to be a “site of retail shops and private parking,” but the city bought it in 2006-2007, converting it into a 127-space cityowned parking lot, which was designed to compliment the efforts to revitalize Uptown and turn it into a major commercial hub. Jim Brown, Park Ridge’s Community Preservation & Development Director, argued that it could potentially be a win-win for the city. They would get a property that would generate property tax revenue without losing any of the parking spaces. As he and other officials noted, the property is located in the Uptown TIF, which has been weighed down by debt. While a new development wouldn’t, in on itself, resolve it, it would go a long way toward addressing the issue. Throughout the meeting, Brown emphasized that the staff wanted to get a sense whether the aldermen were receptive to residential developments on the parking lot. The staff, he said, didn’t want to get too far into the discussion with the developers only to have the council turn down the concept altogether. While there were two proposals, the aldermen only reviewed
one. A proposal by Chicago Loopbased GSP Development l called for a five-story apartment building, with the first floor used as 103-space public parking garage and second floor used for a tenantonly 96-space parking lot. The top three floors would have a total of 91 apartments that would be a mix of studios and one-bedrooms. The letter and presentation materials submitted by the developers note that the apartments wouldn’t cover the entire footprint of the parking levels. Rather, the apartments would wrap, in a ‘U’-like shape, around an outdoor common area that would have a pool and a barbecue area. Several aldermen expressed two major concerns. One was that both developers ask the city to transfer the ownership of the parking lot to them for free. Brown responded that, since the developers want to get the best deal for them, it would only be natural that they try to see if they can get it for free. There was no reason, he said, why the city wouldn’t instead sell it to them. The other concern was that GSP proposal, at least, would reduce the number of public parking spaces. Larry Debb, one of the company’s principals, explained that giv-
en that they would need to build a lobby and a ramp up to the second floor, loss of some parking spaces was unavoidable. Ald. Marty Joyce (7th) thought there was a kernel of a good idea in GSP’s proposal. If the developer was willing to add another level of public parking, the city could potentially improve Uptown parking capacity without having to spend its own money. Ald. John Moran (1st) noted that the city doesn’t have a lot of land it owns, and it shouldn’t give it up without carefully thinking it through. And if Park Ridge does decide to do something with the parking lot, the city should think bigger. “Does that become a bigger project that we look to invest in as a city, with developers or whatever, to figure out something bigger, better, that’s going to really change the dynamic, improve things in Uptown?” he said. “I don’t think we should just be limited to that little square if we’re going to do something major.” Ald. Nicholas Milissis (2nd), who was attending the meeting remotely, argued that any changes to the parking lot should indeed be part of a broader plan. “As we get into the strategic plan
discussion, [we need to figure out] if it’s something we want to do.,” he said. “The way we [should] end up moving forward is deciding what’s important for us and put in an RFP and ask the developers to make their best offer.” Ald. Marc Mazzuca (6th) argued that agreeing to the project was premature, because the city-wide comprehensive plan hasn’t been completed yet. And he argued that, given how much money the city spent to create the public parking, it should consider all options carefully and give residents a chance to weigh in. “Now is probably not the right time to entertain it,” Mazzuca said. “Once we get our comprehensive plan in place, that is the right time to talk about this.” Debb said he understood where the aldermen were coming from. “I think you’re absolutely right,” he said. “Other communities that we worked on already had comprehensive plans, and all their comprehensive plans [said] - we want multifamily [housing].” Milissis said that, in the end, he was interested in exploring ideas for the parking lots redevelopments, but he had two “non-starters.” Anything the city approves must have 128 parking spaces, if not more, and there must be a retail component. “ Ald. Roger Shubert (4th) felt that the city didn’t necessarily need to wait for the comprehensive plan to be completed to decide what to do with the lot – but it was definitely something Park Ridge should look into. “I think it’s an interesting idea, just not necessarily the right one for Uptown area,” he said.

The lost and the entitled BY ROBERT C. KOEHLER TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY When I popped open the old laptop, the Geek Squad guy said maybe I should dust it off. He slid a canister of Endust toward me. “Spray the cloth,” he said, “not the machine.” I started choking on my sense of humiliation. This poor baby was covered with dust. How could I be so careless and lackadaisical toward the technology at the center of my life? And I hadn’t even realized the extent of my indifferent maintenance until the computer crashed and I had to rush it to the tech doctor. I had been in the process of writing a column. I was researching the Central American refugees recently teargassed as they struggled toward the U.S. border. They were fleeing the violence and hopelessness in their countries, traversing 1,000 miles or more on foot, often with small children in tow, to find ... something better. I had wanted to reach into the core of this situation, reach into the barbed wire and tear gas canisters and the words of Donald Trump, who saw them as perfect scapegoats for the nation’s problems: the enemy of the moment, bedraggled, desperate and hungry. Terrorists, keep out! He would protect America from them. Then my computer crashed and I realized I was just a guy alone in his cluttered, dusty study. Then I was a guy in his car, heading west on Pratt Boulevard to the closest Best Buy. I was thirsty. I stopped at a convenience

store and bought a bottle of water and - because I deserved it - a bag of Skittles. I was still negotiating through hightech America, consuming gasoline and plastic, rubber and steel, to accomplish the goals of my ordinary day. I was still - I slowly began to realize insulated from my own raw need and humanity. I wasn’t trudging into the bitter December afternoon on foot, feeling the wind scrape my face as I clutched my dust-coated 5-year-old, trying to reach a doctor. I had no hostile borders to cross, no armed hatred - no tear gas - to endure. I just wanted to get back online ASAP and continue writing about the wrongs of the world. But the sense of insulation from what I wanted to write about wouldn’t go away. I was free of hunger and cold and able to get somewhere in a hurry, shrinking distance without effort in my dependable old Toyota (while listening, if I so chose, to a CD of Bob Dylan singing “Shelter From the Storm”). What do I actually know beyond this safe, techno-convenient world, which allows me to write in comfort about the cruel wrongs beyond its borders? Suddenly I thought about novelist Ariel Dorfman’s fleeting memory of George H.W. Bush. After Bush’s death, Dorfman wrote an essay about a brief encounter he once had with the 41st president. By random chance they were staying at the same hotel. And one day the novelist, from his balcony, happened to see Bush and his entourage walk past. At one point Bush snapped his fingers and the man be-

hind him quickly stepped forward and handed him a tube of suntan lotion. Bush lathered up his neck and arms. They walked on. That was it: a rich man’s show of entitlement. And I couldn’t separate myself from it. My crashed computer felt like the equivalent of a disobedient manservant, denying the master his suntan lotion the moment he wanted it, skewing his day into inconvenience. Lurking behind these involuntary musings was a big “what if”: What if the world’s refugee crisis and poverty crisis were somehow shared, or sharable? What if every human being’s life on this planet stretched from security and comfort and control to utter homelessness - to hatred and tear gas and, ultimately, disposal? What if Donald Trump (and every other U.S. president) could spend some time in his own crosshairs? Or so I reflected on a disrupted, inconvenienced day: thoughts, awareness and dust in my computer void. I offer these words with the hope that they can push beyond themselves: that we can hear our own fingers snap the next time we demand our entitlement of the moment; and that, as we gasp for breath while the tear gas dissipates, we can offer help and compassion to the orange-haired man next to us.

LOCALS DO
BATTLE Maine South defeats Niles West in battle of CSL teams; both teams off to holiday tournaments
BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com
More than maybe any other high school sport, the prep basketball seaosn opens for teams in a whirlwind fashion. Thanksgiving tournaments give way to tournaments over winter break and than flows into Martin Luther King, Jr. Day shooutouts. Mix in the beginning of conference seasons and the beginning of the season makes for a lot of games and few practices in a short amount of time. The conference season got underway last week and Maine South and Niles West jumped right in the mix. The Hawks traveled to Niles West and defeated the hosts 4836. Essam Hamwi paced all scorers with 17 points, while Fillip Bulatovic chipped in 14. “We had a lot of guys come off the bench and play really well and then our core guys had a really nice third quarter,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavarato. “We just need to clean it up.” Lavarato said while the Hawks played well enough to win, he knows they are capable of more — especially when it comes to
taking care of the basketball. “We are at the point where we need to start playing,” he said. “We have to make sure we are now focusing on the execution.” Maine South followed the Friday game with a Saturday afternoon tilt against Thornwood in the Crete Monee Shootout, a game South won 53-44. John Gardiner led the Hawks with 15 points, while Bulatovic added 14 points and Hamwi chipped in 12. Dan Crane and Bulatovic each grabbed eight rebounds. “We have five games, then we have four and then we get a little beak and then every body plays in Martin Luther King Day tournaments and so do we and then we have like nine games in three weeks,” Lavarato said. Niles West was paced in the loss to the Hawks by Kevin Guillaume’s 15 points. “We have been up and down. We won our pool at Thanksgiving, then win five in a row. We have played a lot, but I don’t feel like the guys are tired” said coach Mike Wasielewski. “We are learning and we are tryoing to execute better and we have a lot of guys in tghe rotation that played sophomore last year and are trying to get up to varsity speed.”

Make sure it’s a gift when accepting financial help from family DEAR DAVE, I’m on Baby Step 4 of your plan. I’m debt-free, and I’m currently putting lots of money toward retirement. Now, I want to go back to school and get an MBA. I could pay for school with cash, but that would delay buying a home. My parents have offered to help out financially, so do you think I should accept their offer? ISAAC DEAR ISAAC, I don’t have a problem with this, if they’re doing well enough financially to afford it, and the help comes in the form of a gift. If they’re borrowing the money to make it happen, then the answer is “no.” If they want to loan you the money, the answer is “no.” A loan between family members, or even

friends, isn’t help — it’s a trap for both parties. But hey, if they’re in good enough shape to gift you some money to help with the MBA or a home, that would be an incredibly generous thing to do. I think it’s so cool when people work hard, make smart decisions and manage their money well to the point they can do things like this for others. It sounds like you’re in a really good place, Isaac. Pay cash for school, and if you can’t buy a home outright when the time comes, make a down payment of at least 20 percent. That way, you’ll avoid having to pay private mortgage insurance! —DAVE \Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven best-selling books, including The Total Money Makeover.
