President Zettek reported as follows: 1. Attended an Airport Carrier Meeting, with Trustee Bosslet on Wednesday, September 23, 1987. The members of the Policy Group indicated to the FAA and to the consulting firm rather then have the FAA dictating where a third airport ought to be, if in fact there should be one and discounting places like Gary and Rockford, that it was incumbent on the FAA to look to ways, means and solutions to providing a regional third airport at a sight appropriate. Rather than the Policy Committee being subservient to the FAA, the FAA (which is truly a governmental body) would serve us by looking to ways and means of accommodating air traffic even through it may be less than 60 miles from the City of Chicago; namely, O'Hare Airport. 2. Attended the Trustees Institute Dinner. Trustees Petri and Hauser are our Trustees who are attending the year-long seminar. 3. Attended a meeting of the Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. The entire meeting was discussion about the Convention Center that will be located in Schaumburg. The Village will have to be looking for ways and means of generating enough dollars to retire the debts over some 25 years. We will have a group representing the Convention Center appear before the Board to outline the kinds of dollars that might be expected from those Communities who choose to support the Convention Center and what communities might expect in additional revenue as a result of the Convention Center. 4. Addressed the Rotary Club at a luncheon on October 1, 1987, and talked primarily about the Biesterfield Road Interchange and Biesterfield Road extension. 5. Attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Holiday Inn on October 6, 1987. 6. Appeared on a televised debate on Channel 6 at October 8, 1987. 7.

No. 32-86)". The motion to adopt the Consent Agenda items, "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J", was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: AYE: Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet; motion carried. Trustee Hauser stated that since we are dealing with three ordinances (rezoning, amending Zoning Ordinance and Special Use) , he would address the issue in total . The Zoning Handbook for Municipal Officials specifically spells out the statutory authority for a Special Use. It states: "A special use shall be permitted only upon evidence that such meet standards established for such classification in the ordinances. " Trustee Hauser then referred to the Elk Grove Village Zoning Ordinance's OJT, Office Transitional Use. Trustee Hauser stated that the Village does not have any standards established relative to the possible granting of this particular Special Use. The Village Attorney discussed Village Standards. Trustee Hauser believes the Village is opening up that section of the Zoning Ordinance to residential facility for use of owners of permitted primary use. He is concerned because the Village does not have any standards or guidelines set down as to when the Village will allow this; and when the Village is going to pull in their horns and say no, you are not going to be able to do it. Trustee Gallitano echoed Trustee Hauser's comments that this is a market departure from the Village Zoning Ordinance. He is concerned that this matter can open the doors to all types of facilities in OJT Zoning that are currently not there. If it is the pleasure of the Board to go ahead and have this, then Trustee Gallitano agrees with some of the comments made on both sides that the standard would be appropriate to adopt. Trustee Gallitano stated for the record: "I don't think this is a wise move. " Trustee Tosto stated that each case should be taken individually. - 3 - 10-13-87 Trustee Gallitano stated if three requests came to the Board to open a practice in a house in an 0/T Zoning, he does not see how this Board can deny it based on this case. Trustee Hauser stated that the basic decision the Board is making tonight is that you take an individual who wants to practice out of their home, put them in an 0/T zoned area, and they can do it. Discussion followed as to meetings held before the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee, Committee of the Whole, and other Board meetings where this matter was discussed. Trustee Hauser requested permission to address the Board on some points that were brought up by the President; whereupon President Zettek ruled with the Chair that Trustee Hauser was out of order because they were talking about things that were not pertinent to this matter. If the Board wants to overrule the President's decision, they can do so. There were no comments from the Board. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that: 1. The Board adopt Ordinance No. 1920 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE REZONING CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN THE VILLAGE FROM R-3, SINGLEFAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO 0-T, OFFICE TRRINSITIONAL (BOYAJIAN/RAZIM)". 2. The Board adopt Ordinance No. 1921 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5.27E SPECIAL USES, IN THE 0 & T OFFICE TRANSITIONALDISR PRMIT RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES AS A SPECIAL ACCESSORY USE IN THE 0/T ZONING DISTRICT". 3.
