Mr. Roland Acosta, Attorney for the M.D.M. Construction Company, and Rogers Radiocall addressed the Board in regards to the proposal by M.D.M. Construction Company to build their corporate offices on Bonaventure Drive. The Plan Commission held a public hearing on their request for a Special Use permit to construct a 150 foot high self-supporting telephone transmission tower, and a Special Use permit to conduct an accessory warehousing operation in a B-2, Zoning District. After deliberating the evidence that was presented at the hearing, the Plan Commission recommendation to the Villaae Board was to deny both Special Use permits requested by M.D.M. Construction Company. President Zettek reiterated what was stated by the Plan Commission that they did not feel this building would be compatible to the zoning of the property on the particular site that they have chosen for construction and the Plan Commission also objected to the tower. Discussion followed as to whether or not there were any changes as to the purpose and/or use of the back part of the proposed building. It was determined that Mr. Acosta was, in fact, requesting ,an audience before the Village Board to appeal the decision of the Plan Commission. Following discussion between the Assistant Village Manager, Mr. Acosta, the Village Board, and Mr. Bonavolanta, (owner of the property) is was determined that the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee would review the transcript of the public hearing held before the Plan Commission after which the petitioner would meet with the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee on March 22, 1989 at 7:00 p.m. The Assistant Village Manager requested that Mr. Acosta forward, to the Village Manager's office, a letter voicing his concerns and interpretation - 2 - 2-28-89 of the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to this matter prior to their meeting with the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee. Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Cable TV Committee, reported that there will be a meeting of the Regional Group in Buffalo Grove on Thursday, March 2, 1989 at 8:00 p.m. to discuss service items and service to the area. The President reported that the O'Hare Advisory Committee will meet on March 9, 1989 in the Elk Grove Village Municipal Building. The President reported that the Economic Development Consultants submitted a report to the Village Board recently and have indicated to the President that they will have another report soon, and will try to improve upon the frequency of their reports. The President reported that the Suburban O'Hare Commission will be meeting within the next few weeks. Trustee Hauser reported that the Short Range Planning Committee of TRANSPART will be meeting Wednesday, March 15, 1989 at the Glendale Country Club at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the Mitigation Ordinance that is under consideration. The President reported that the Budget Committee is in the process of budget deliberations.

The Village Attorney presented an ordinance which amends the Signs and Awnings Ordinance and satisfies the concerns of the court and the opposing counsel . This ordinance will permit non-commercial signs in the residential , business , and industrial districts of the Village with certain size restrictions. The ordinance does not permit, nor does it give the Board authority to allow signs in the right-of-way. The right-of-way will be free from signs of any type except for directional or traffic signs. In lieu of the pending litigation, the Attorney suggested that the ordinance shall read that this is an emergency matter that would go into effect immediately upon its passage and approval . With the adoption of this ordinance there would be no need for any political party or any candidate to request permission from the Village Board to place signs on private property. Previous announcements to any candidate that there would be an ability to have signs on public right-of-way is now negated by the action of the court. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to amending the Village Sign and Awning Ordinance. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Gallitaro that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 2021 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, SIGNS AND AWNINGS, OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAG REPEALS ORDINANCE NOS. 1254 & 2014)".

The President informed the Board that Sue Miller, who has been a long standing member of the Housing Commission, has been ill for some length of - 3 - 2-28-89 time and has been unable to attend the Commission meetings. Her husband, Sidney Miller, has requested that he serve in her stead on the Housing Commission since they are bath very interested in the concerns that the Housing- Commission addresses. The President requested that the Board concur in the appointment of Sidney Miller to replace Sue Miller on the Housing Commission. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board concur with the recommendation of the President and appoint Mr. Sidney Miller to replace his wife, Suzanne F. Miller, on the Housing Commission for the term ending April 30, 1989. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
