Exhibit "A"
Special Circumstances
Requested by DK Rolling Exchange, LLC
DK Rolling Exchange, LLC ("Applicant') plans on rehabilitating and leasing the property located
at 1800 Landmeier Rd. in Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007 (PIN: 08-26-300-024-0000) to an industrial
user for warehousing, manufacturing and/or distribution.
The subject property consists of an approximately 20,665 square foot building on a roughly
56,715 square foot site that has been vacant and unused since June 1, 2009. The subject property is in
need of significant improvements, and therefore, the Applicant has allotted approximately $200,000 to
refurbish the existing facility. The improvements will be made with regard to, but not limited to, the
bathrooms, office, floors, walls, ceilings and for other general maintenance. In addition, the Applicant
will be upgrading the HVAC system, installing new lighting, remodeling the electrical, installing drainage
and ventilation for indoor truck parking and installing a new drive-in door.
The Applicant plans to lease the rehabilitated property to an industrial user for warehousing,
manufacturing and/or distribution. 'As of today, the Applicant is negotiating with a confidential tenant
which is interested in occupying the subject property and which will bring anywhere from 25 to 30
employees to the site. However, the Applicant will not be able to rehabilitate and lease the subject
property without a Class 6b Incentive in place.
Based on our research and the additional costs that must be incurred to rehabilitate the building in
order for this to be a successful endeavor, the Applicant must possess a Class 6b Incentive to complete the
substantial rehabilitation on the subject property and successfully lease the same to an industrial user.
Without a Class 6b Incentive; however, the Applicant will not be able to secure a tenant at the subject
property.
It is for these reasons that it is necessary to grant the Applicant a Resolution in support of and
consenting to the filing of a Class 6b Incentive for the above -referenced property based on occupation of
abandoned property for greater than twenty-four (24) months continuous vacancy without a purchase for
value and with special circumstances and substantial rehabilitation.
