- 1 - 6-23-87
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the

Turf S ra Irri ation Company, Elk Grove Village, in the amount of
15, for the desi n and installation of an irri ation s stem for
the Municipal Com lex. The motion was vote upon y genera consent to
tie previous vote: AYE: Trustees Chernick, Hauser, Tosto, Bosslet; NAY:
none; ABSENT: Gallitano, Petri ; motion carried.
Trustee Hauser questioned the need for the landscaping work to be done at
this time rather than waiting until fall , which would reflect a
considerable savings in the cost as shown in the difference between the
low bidder and the second bidder.
Discussion followed regarding the planting seasons and the type of
guarantees offered by each contractor.
President Zettek stated that both he and Staff have been trying to get the
landscaping put in prior to the fall season. That is why the low bidder
was excluded because he was not willing to commit to a year's guarantee.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
Board award a contract for the la_ndsca_ i ng of the property surrounding
the Village Hall complex to Chas. Ks Tem and Son Nursery of Barrington
at a cost not to exceed $111,052 00.. The President directed the Clerk
to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the
following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: Hauser;
ABSENT: Gallitano, Petri ; whereupon President Zettek voted "AYE" and
declared the motion carried.
The Assistant Village Manager referred to the bid tabulations for
housekeeping services for the Village Hall complex. The lowest bidder,
Imperial Service Systems, Inc. , failed to submit a bid bond as required in
the bid specifications. The second lowest bidder, Muldrew's Maintenance
of Chicago was not recommended because of the five references. provided;
three lacked sufficient size and scope of service to demonstrate an
ability and capacity to handle this contract; and the other two references
were from short term clients. The third lowest bidder, Complete Cleaning
Service of Wood Dale, is recommended for consideration by the Board for
these services at an amount not to exceed $4,817.10 per month for a twelve
month period.
Trustee Bosslet questioned the bid stipulation that a Bid Bond be
submitted and if Imperial Services could not submit a bond after the bid
opening.
The Purchasing Agent stated that the submission of a bond was in the
specification and was duly noted, by himself and the other venders , that
Imperial Services had neglected to submit a bond with their proposal .
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
Board award a service contract to provide housekeeping service for the
Village Hall Complex to Complete Cleaning of Wood Dale, Illinois in an
amount not to exceed $4,817. 10 per month for a twelve month period. The
President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the
roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick,
Hauser, Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: Gallitano, Petri ; whereupon the
President declared the motion carried.
The Assistant Village Manager presented a 10 lot subdivision plat of The
Park at Northwest Point which has been approved by Staff and the Plan
Commission.
The Plan Commission, in their recommendation, make reference to showing on
the plat the right-of-way for Arlington Heights Road. In review of the
plat, Staff is satisfied that the Village subdivision control regulations
are being fulfilled as far as the subdivision of their privately owned
property. There is some difficulty in the requirement of trying to show
right-of-way for Arlington Heights Road. The plat reflects a 30 foot
right-of-way and references the original center line of Arlington Heights
Road. Over the years as Arlington Heights Road was widened, for some
- 2 - 6-23-87
reason the bookkeeping/recording process on the existing right-of-way and
just where that westerly line is , is at this time unknown. We do know
that the Illinois Tollway Authority and Illinois Department of
Transportation are now reviewing the right-of-way for Arlington Heights
Road and will be coming up with that final determination.
Rather than have the Developer of Northwest Point come up with that
determination we recommend that the plat be accepted (as again they have
subdivided their own property) . The easterly side of Arlington Heights
Road which abuts their property we do know is being the easterly
right-of-way line, but we are not sure of the westerly right-of-way line.
Discussion of the requirement of the developer to provide this information
commenced between Trustee Hauser, the Assistant Village Manager, and the
Village Engineer.
It has been verified that this will be a lengthy process and the Village
Engineer does not feel that there will be a problem later on relative to
this particular development.
It was the consensus of opinion that the developer be required to provide
the Village with a document showing the westerly right-of-way line within
90 days of passage of the resolution approving the plat of subdivision.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the.
Board adopt Resolution No. 36-87 entitled, A RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL OF
PLAT OF SUBDIVISION IDENTIFIED AS THE PARK AT NORTHWEST POINT" , such
Resolution to include the stipulation that the developer provide the
Village with documentation of the westerly right-of-way line for Arlington
Heights Road. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the
motion and upon .the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees
Chernick, Hauser, Tosto, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: Gallitano, Petri ;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
Trustee Petri arrived at the meeting at 8:47 p.m.
Trustee Petri reported that there will be a meeting of the Channel 6 T.V.
Committee (tomorrow) , Wednesday, June 24, 1987 to pursue some ideas of
putting together a program for the other four communities in the American
Cable Group.
The President reported that the O'Hare Advisory Committee met Thursday,
June 18, 1987. The point of contention between the Suburban
representatives on the O'Hare Advisory Committee and those representatives
of other governmental bodies that seem more prone to respect and protect
Chicago 's wishes , was the establishment of goals, objectives and
priorities to be recognized with the 150 Study. After much debate and
discussion, the end result was that the matter will go back to
Committee.
The Village Clerk read a letter from the Junior Class of Elk Grove High
School requesting the Board's permission to conduct a car wash at the
School on June 28, 1987 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Board offered no
objections.
The President referred to an ordinance, which was prepared by the Village
Attorney, regarding the Biesterfield Road Interchange and asked that this
item be deferred until the next meeting of the Village Board.
The Village Attorney reported that he has spoken with the Attorney for
Gullo International regarding the amendment to the Stanley Street
Annexation Agreement.
The Gullo Attorney and the Attorney for the neighboring property owners
appear to have no argument with the proposed Text Amendment for the Office
Transition District which would allow as a Special Use light assembly and
warehousing which will preclude manufacturing. An aesthetically screened
landscaping and site plan will be required to be approved by the Plan
Commission. These plans have apparently been approved by the Attorney
with minor modifications. When those changes have been made the Board
- 3 - 6-23-87
will be asked at the next Board meeting to set a public hearing before the
Plan Commission to adopt a new Text Amendment to provide a Special Use in
the Office Transition District for the Gullo property north of Oakton
Street.
Trustee Tosto inquired about the transcript of the public hearing for the
Zoning Board of Appeal 's , Docket No. 87-14, noting that action on the
Zoning Board's recommendation has been deferred from the last meeting.
Trustee Hauser reported that he had read the transcript and he did not
believe a hardship was demonstrated by the petitioner to permit the
construction into the side yard at property located at 1379 Carlisle. A
permit was issued for an addition off the rear of the house and this was
just an afterthought. Therefore, he concurs with the recommendation of the
Zoning Board that a hardship was not demonstrated and the petition should
be denied.
Discussion followed as to the Board's desire to read the transcript prior
to taking action on this item.
It was moved by Trustee. Tosto and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
Docket No. 87-14, and deny the request for a variation from the Zoning
Ordinance side yard requirements for property located at 1379 Carlisle
Avenue. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion
and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees
Hauser, Petri , Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: Gallitano;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The Assistant Village Manager reported that the Cook County Highway
Department awarded a contract to Palumbo Brothers, Inc. , for the Nerge
Road improvement. Elk Grove Village was the Lead Agency and also the
agency that acquired the money for the County for that improvement. The
westbound bypass lanes are being constructed at this time and when those
are completed, they will start to lay the storm sewer for the eastbound
lanes. This project should be completed within 18 months.
At this time, 8:57 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in, the audience
wished to address the Board.
Mr. Al Tierney, a Village resident, presented to the Village a document
requesting an appeal/protest of Ordinance No. 1899, authorizing the
acquisition of property through condemnation or otherwise for the
extension, widening and improvement of Biesterfield Road, which was passed
by the Village Board on June 9, 1987.
Mr. Tierney proceeded to read the letter of protest (attached) and
discussed the statements contained therein with the President.
The President and Mr. Tierney also discussed the Homer Chastain report on
the Biesterfield Road extension.
The President announced that the Board will be holding a public meeting on
June 30, 1987 at 8:00 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Margaret Mead Junior
High School for the purpose of presenting information about the extension
of Biesterfield Road from Meacham Road to Plum Grove Road based upon the
traffic study prepared by Homer Chastain and Associates.
Mr. Richard Reynolds presented a request to the Village to consider a
problem of concern to the residents in the vicinity of "Little Higgins
Road" regarding the noise and litter emanating from Higgins Road. Mr.
Reynolds asked for a replacement of the dead bushes and/or a wooden
barrier in the area between their street and Higgins Road, from Seven
Stars to Wildwood Ave.
Mr.. Reynolds further stated that there is a Telephone Co. manhole cover on
Higgins Road which was placed above the grade of the rest of the road and
, which bounces and clangs whenever a car or truck drives over it.
- 4 - 6-23-87
The President said that the Village will look into the maintenance of the
parkway of the area in question, notify the proper agency responsible for
securing the manhole cover, and ask the State to inspect and repair that
area of Higgins Road.
It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at
10:07 p.m.
