President Zettek questioned the Village Attorney regarding the Parkview Heights Park site. - 3 - 2-24-87 The Village Attorney Stated that a deed was submitted to the Village by an earlier developer of that area in late 1985 but was never formally accepted by the Village until some problems were worked out. For several years, there has been some pressure on the Park District, by the Residents who have lived there, to improve those properties. The Attorney has contacted the Park District's Attorney and they are going to accept the Quit Claim Deed. There is a back tax matter that exists due to Cook County having changed their tax exemption procedures. The Village and the Park District are working hand in hand to eliminate a potential $6,000 tax claim. The Village Manager reported on the following items: 1. The budget meeting which was held on February 23, 1987 went extremely well . In the next session we will get into some much larger issues. 2. A new high water mark has been established in the terms of construction in the Village. Almost $77,000,000 of new construction occurred in 1986. This will be a major increment to the Village tax base in the coming years. 3. The next budget session will be held March 3, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber. At this time, 8:23 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. A gentleman in the audience asked if the Village Board met with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) regarding the I-290/Biesterfield Interchange. The President responded that the Board had not met with IDOT. Mr. Clark Black of 1710 Biesterfield Road posed questions to the Board regarding the traffic situation in the Stockbridge area, the extension of Biesterfield Road to Wise Road, and what improvements and/or expansions are being planned for the other arterial roads in the Village. Mr. Black also questioned the proposed I-290/Biesterfield Road Interchange and the possibility of expanding the Thorndale Interchange. President Zettek explained that the Village has hired Engineering Consultants to study the possible extension of Biesterfield Road and also the plans already prepared for the widening of Nerge Road, from Wisconsin Lane to Roselle Road. Plum Grove Road is in the 5 year plan of the County to be widened. Rohlwing Road would be widened from White Trail Road to Devon Avenue if, in fact, the Interchange at Biesterfield Road is constructed. Rohlwing Road would be widened from Devon Avenue to the Elgin O'Hare highway when that highway is completed. The President also explained the Village Board's reasons for supporting a full interchange at I-290 and Biesterfield Road and the regional traffic that would be relieved by its construction. This support is shared by the Village of Schaumburg and the Illinois Department of Transportation. Further discussion followed regarding the impact of the interchange on the adjacent residential area. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Petri that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m. Patricia S. Smith i age er Charles J .
