Mr. Sarley presented pictures of his home and of other fences in the Village. Discussion followed regarding the planting of shrubs instead of installing a fence, since the shrubs would not be in violation of the ordinance. President Zettek stated that possibly this requirement for side yards should be reviewed; however, at this time, the Board will not approve a variation. Mr. Sardoff, whose petition has been denied by the Board earlier in the meeting, stated that if this is the firm position of the Board, then the Zoning Board should be advised of this and petitioners will be saved the $150.00 expense for the public hearing. President Zettek stated that this is a very good point. The Finance Director and the Village Clerk will be instructed to return the $150.00 public hearing fee to both of the petitioners. The President asked Trustee Petri to take this matter into the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee for review. Trustee Hauser said that the line-of-sight conditions, which are on the Agenda of the Committee-of-the-Whole, should also be considered. A gentleman in the audience asked if the Biesterfield Road Interchange and Extension has been approved by the Village Board. The President informed him that there will be action this evening authorizing the condemnation attorney to condemn property inconcert with - 3 - 6-9-87 a route that has been selected. There will also be action to direct the Village Attorney to prepare a resolution with the Board concurring and adopting a full interchange. Discussion followed regarding the Chastain Report on the extension of Biesterfield Road. The President said that a public hearing will be held in order for the results of the report to be given to the public. There was further discussion of east/west traffic through the Village and the fact that the CABIE Group cancelled further meetings with the Village Board and decided to have a referendum on the November Election ballot. The Assistant Village Manager reported that various reports have been distributed to the Board regarding the Bicycle Safety Education Program, the Task Force that was developed by the Police Department to reduce auto burglary, an update on County and State Roadway improvements, and the Fireworks Enforcement Policy. Discussion regarding any of these reports will be held if the Board so desires. The Assistant Village Manager stated that there is a pending ordinance on the subject of condemnation. There should be action to direct the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution supporting the I-290 and Biesterfield Road Interchange. President Zettek requested the Board's indulgence to address two members of the audience representing the CABIE Group. The President informed them that the Board held open Monday night, June 8, 1987, hoping to hear from the Group and hold the cancelled meeting. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the Board waive the first reading of an ordinance as it pertains to condemnation of certain property. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY: Chernick; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The President stated that as a result of long hours of deliberation the Village is certainly pleased to announce that steps have been taken that will remove a preponderance of traffic between Meacham and Plum Grove Roads and will provide a new route which will not go through the residential community. This will be done at a cost of only two homes in the Village located on Michigan Lane, and the condemnation of 17 lots in - 4 - 6-9-87 the Windemere Subdivision that do not have homes on them. This will allow the Village to put Biesterfield Road through, berm and landscape Biesterfield Road, and to the best of our ability cause little disruption to either the Windermere Subdivision or the Biesterfield Road residents who will back up to the route. It will be a route unimpeded by stop lights, and will be a clear and appropriate route. The Village is saddened by the fact that two homes on Michigan Lane have to be condemned but outside of that nobody will be displaced. There is information in the Chastain Report that with or without the interchange the Biesterfield Road extension was absolutely needed. There are some 4,300 cars that now travel through the community between Meacham and Plum Grove Roads. The projection is that by the year 2005 there will be some 16,000 to 18,000 cars traveling through that area of the community. The Board was compelled not to allow this to happen. A solution had to be sought to remove that traffic from this residential community and this will do it. With or without the interchange the Village was told that with Schaumburg/Martingale extended, Plum Grove Road widening, Rohlwing Road widening, and Nerge Road Widening; nonetheless, there would still be a great appetite that we could not satisfy for people going through that area. The interchange has little impact. Without the interchange, there will be some 14,000 cars that would travel between Rohlwing and Meacham Roads; and with the interchange there will be 18,000 cars. The consultants have advised the Village that Biesterfield Road between Rohlwing and Meacham Roads can accommodate that traffic. They suggest putting in a traffic light at the appropriate corner of Glenn Trail and suggest that in the year 2005, there might be a need to widen Biesterfield Road between Rohlwing and Meacham Roads. The interchange will allow traffic to go north and south on Rohlwing Road and on Arlington Heights Road with little impact. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:54 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles S.
