The Village Manager read a letter from the Zoning Board of Appeals recommending "DO NOT GRANT" to a variation petition for rear year requirements from Mr. and Mrs. James Hezinaer for property located at 1210 Robin Drive.

At this time, 8:40 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. Approximately fifteen parents of children attending Adolph Link Elementary School discussed with the Board what they consider a traffic problem at the school in dropping off children in the morning and picking them up in the afterroon after school . The Police Department and Trustees offered some suggestions and the consensus of opinion was that the parents should meet with the School District 54 Board members. The parents asked President Zettek to write a letter addressing their concerns to the Principal at Link School and to the School Board members. The President said he would be happy to write the letter stating that the Village cannot allow parking on Biesterfield Road or on the east side of Glenn Trail , that suggestions have been offered to alleviate the problem and that the Villace would hope that the School Board can come up with a remedy to the problem. The meeting continued at 10:33 p.m. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Community Service Board is looking for nominations for the Annual Volunteer Recognition Program. The letter sent out to various organizations , churches and schools, we hope, will produce some nominations from those organizations where volunteers are put to great use. The awards will be presented at the spring Boards and Commissions ' Dinner. 2. The joint meeting of the Board with the Plan Commission will be held on Tuesday, February 11 , 1986 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss a new form of senior citizen housing. 3. The Illinois Municipal League is sponsoring two training programs at Arlington Park. The information has been circulated regarding tax increment financing and the general overview of financing in the State. If any Board members wish - 5 - 1 -28-86 to attend either program, the,v are to inform the Manager' s Office to make the necessary arrangements. 4. DuPage County Mayers and Managers Association and the Northwest Municipal Conference will hold a joint meeting on Wednesday, February 19, 1986 at the Hamilton Hotel . The Village should be represented at that conference. 5. The Village has received communication from the Illinois State Toil Highway Authority indicating that the feasibility study of the interchange at Arlington Heights Road and the tollway is still in the preparation state. The information we have suggests the report will be finished at the end of this week and will be distributed to the Board as soon as it is received. 6. There was a hearing on January 23, 1986 concerning the widening of Nerge Road. There were some residents who expressed concern about the increased traffic and the speed of vehicles. Overall , however, the opposition was very light. Tonight the Board approved the employment of appraisers , reviewers and negotiators to secure right-of-way along that project. The cost of those services will be paid by Cook County and under the Federal Aid to Urban Systems Funding Formula. 7. The Elgin O'Hare Expressway project was discussed in Roselle. The Village made contact with the consultants on that project. IDOT and the consultants are prepared to meet with the Village and the interested parties in the Community, perhaps in April of this year. The plan discussed is not too different from the one with which the Village is acquainted; mainly, the development of the major arterial roadway, something less than a limited access expressway, but nonetheless , a major east- west roadway that has been needed for some 15 or 20 years. 8. The Village will put a bid in tomorrow, January 29, 1986, with the Northwest Municipal Transportation Committee to serve as a lead agency for the improvements to Elmhurst Road. This is essentially a major maintenance project, not a widening project. The State has given the Village the option to engage consultants for that work and the Village has agreed to engage those consultants and pay approximately .15% of the cost of Phases I and II Study. That cost is estimated at the present time at about $22,000.00. If the State were to select the consultants and do the engineering for that roadway project, it would be 36 months or more before the study and design of Phases I and II would be completed (not the construction) . If the Village undertakes that work and pay the 15%, that work can be achieved in 18 months or less. The Village believes that cutting the time frame in half is well worth the $22,000.00. In addition to that expense the Village will share under the standard IDOT Traffic Signal formula the cost for signalization improvement at - 6 - 1-28-86 Greenleaf and Pratt Avenues. In each case the improvement is estimated at $15,000.00. Followiro that, the Village will share in the maintenance cost and the energy cost. Like the construction, it will be based on the legs of the intersection which are in the corporate limits of Elk Grove Village. 9. The American. Taxi Company has requested a fare increase in the rates being charged in Elk Grove Village. They have submitted only limited information; therefore, more data will be collected before a public hearing is suggested before the Village Board under the title of "Public Vehicle Commission". 1.0. The Industrial Drainage Ditch project is underway. Public Works is accomplishing the maintenance work on one segment of the ditch which runs to the west of the Nicholas Boulevard and Greenleaf Avenue vicinity. 11. The consultants report on the public works facility has been received and distributed to the Board. That report has been referred to the Capital Improvements Committee for review and consideration. The Village Staff is prepared to meet with the Committee to help digest that report. 12. The Illinois State Labor Relations has confirmed the withdrawal of a petition to organize the emplovees in the Department of Public Works. They have also confirmed that the perspective union has withdrawn the unfair labor practice allegation that had been filed earlier. 13. The Village will be increasing efforts, with the assistance of the Village Attorney, to reach residents in the community who have not responded to the sump pump inspection program and the appropriate action will be taken through the Attorney's office to secure their participation and cooperation in disconnecting those illegal connections to the sewer system. The Village Manager said the National Car Rental Company has asked for a sign variation at the southwest corner of Elmhurst Road and Pratt Boulevard. The Building Department has looked at the request for a free- standing sign that has 96 square feet per face configuration and only 45 square feet per face is permitted by the ordinance. The total sign surface is 192 square feet and only 90 square feet are permitted. The Building Department recommends that the two variations be granted as follows: ITEM RE VESTED PERMITTED BY ORDINANCE VARIATION REQUESTED increase in sign 96 sq.ft. per face 45 sq.ft. per face 51 sq.ft. per face surface area. Number of faces Two - None Total sign surface area 192 sq.ft. 90 sq.ft. 102 sq.ft. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board grant the sign variation to National Car Rental , 2000 Elmhurst, as recommended by the Building Department.
