EXHIBIT A
Special Circumstances
Requested by.Lemont Equipment Financing, Inc.
PIN: 08-27-102-067-0000
Lemont Equipment Financing, Inc. ('Applicant") plans to purchase the property located at 521
Bonnie Lane in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, The Applicant intends to rehabilitate the subject property and
lease half of the site to Midwestern Transportation and Construction d/b/a Total Service Telecom
(collectively the "Occupant") and lease the remaining vacant half to an industrial user. The Occupant plans
to use half of the site in its operations consisting of warehousing and distribution of cell tower parts.
The subject property consists of an approximately I I.500.square foot building that has been vacant
and unused since September, 2008. Currently, the property is vacant and in need of substantial
rehabilitation. The Applicant plans on purchasing the site for approximately $500,000 and to invest roughly
$100,000 to 51.50;000 to refurbish the existing facility. The improvements will be made to, but not limited
to, the office, landscaping and other general maintenance. In addition, the Applicant will have to replace the
existing roof.
The Occupant is looking to relocate its entire operation to Elk Grove Village at 521 Bonnie Lane and
bring all 5 of its current employees to this location with the likelihood of expanding to approximately 20
employees within one to two years. The Occupant will look to hire all qualified Village of Glk Grove
Village residents for future hires. However, this is all contingent on the Applicant receiving a Class 6b Tax
Incentive.
Based on our research and the additional costs that must be incurred to rehabilitate the building in
order f'or this to be a successful endeavor, the Applicant must possess a Class 6b Incentive in order to
successfully operate the facility and lease the same to the Occupant and to successfully attract another
industrial user for the remaining vacant half of the building. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to
grant the Applicant a Class 6b Incentive based on occupation of abandoned property for less than twenty-
four months continuous vacancy, with a purchase for value, special circumstances and substantial
rehabilitation for the above -referenced property.
