Title/Name/Summary
Orland Fire Protection District - Intergovernmental Agreement - Shared Parking
History
The Orland Fire Protection District was required by the Village Board in case number 2010-0221 to obtain a shared parking agreement with neighboring properties to accommodate the parking shortage at the expanded Administration-Headquarters Building/ Fire Station 1. The Land Development Code required 93 parking spaces while the development provided 69. The difference of twenty-four (24) is accommodated via the proposed intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for shared parking with the east parking lot of the Orland Park Police Headquarters.
The OFPD has previously indicated that it anticipates that it will rarely exceed the proposed parking capacity at the site (69 spaces). The OFPD also previously noted that Orland Park Police Headquarters overflow parking may be accommodated in the OFPD lot if ever it is needed, although this is not mentioned in the proposed IGA.
The IGA identifies 24 parking spaces at the Orland Park Police Headquarters will be available for shared parking with the OFPD between 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. It also notes that the IGA can be terminated if replacement parking is approved by the Village and written notice of termination of the IGA is provided 60 days prior to the termination date.
As a back up to the IGA proposed between the OFPD and the Village, the OFPD is seeking to enter into another IGA for shared parking with the Orland Park Public Library. The Library IGA is similar in scope to the IGA with the Village.
The OFPD has also reached out to the Ravinia Office Condos as well as to Michael’s Plaza and Dominick’s for potential shared parking opportunities.
This case is now before the Board of Trustees for final review/approval.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the intergovernmental agreement for shared parking between the Orland Fire Protection District and the Village of Orland Park to use the Orland Park Police Headquarters east parking lot at 15100 S. Ravinia Avenue to accommodate a parking capacity of twenty-four (24) automobiles for the Orland Fire Protection District Fire Station 1 and Administration / Headquarters Building at 9788 W. 151st Street.
