Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: Gallitano; whereupon the
President declared the motion carried.
Trustee Bosslet questioned the value of the Village belonging to NIPC any
longer. He feels that his experience with the SOC Committee regarding
O'Hare Airport and with NIPC participation in those O'Hare Advisory
Committee meetings seems that whatever Chicago wants in regard to the
Airport and land use, NIPC is always part of the "Chicago Group". They
should represent everyone who belongs to the organization. Trustee
Bosslet feels that the Village is not getting their monies worth. The
reason he took this item off the Agenda is so that he has the option of
voting "no" .

the Committee met May 5, 1986 and discussed the minimum paving
requirements for parking lots, carriage walks in the industrial park, and
ingress and egress for Burger King at Arlington Heights Road.
Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, stated that
Mr. Serfecz (owner of the Grove Shopping Center) wanted to paint turn
arrows at the Arlington Heights Road exit to alleviate the traffic hazards
at the Burger King Restaurant. The Committee did not find Mr. Serfecz'
proposal acceptable. The Village Engineer was directed to contact the
Village Attorney to determine what legal ability the Village had to
require Mr. Serfecz to implement a proposal prepared by the engineering
department which Mr. Serfecz received last December.
Trustee Tosto stated that the Committee had reviewed a recommendation from
the Engineer regarding minimum parking lot construction standards. The
method recommended followed the Illinois Department of Transportation
formulas to determine minimum structural numbers for pavement. These
structural numbers were then used to determine the thickness of paving
materials. It was the consensus of the Capital Improvements Committee to
establish a minimum structural number of 2.5 in all new parking areas
where vehicles are physically parked, and on the access isles immediately
adjacent thereto. All main driving areas and loading areas would be
required to construct a pavement with a minimum structural number of 3.0.
The Engineer was directed to contact the Attorney to have the appropriate
ordinance prepared to implement the design requirements.
The Capital Improvements Committee also discussed a maintenance ordinance
for parking lots.
Discussion followed; whereupon it was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded
by Trustee Chernick that the Board direct the Village Attorney to draw up
the necessary ordinance to conform to the recommendations of the Capital
Improvements Committee memo dated May 5, 1986 for the parking lot
standards and the maintenance of parking lots. The motion was voted upon
by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
At this time, 9:00 p.m. , President Zettek asked if there was anyone in the
audience who wished to address the Board.
Mr. Dan Ropas, resident of the Village, referred to the passage of
Ordinance No. 1797, granting a variation for a deck on property at 1210
Robin Drive. He questioned the Board as to the legal basis for granting
the variation and what remedy does the Board have for the hardship that he
comes under both on his property being devaluated, privacy being evaded
and his comfort being impaired. Mr. Ropas asked the Board why the Board
granted the variation after the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended to
deny the variation.
President Zettek informed Mr. Ropas that the recommendation of the Zoning
Board of Appeals was referred to the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning
Committee and they were the ones who studied the request and came back
with a recommendation to this Board that we not concur with the Zoning
Board of Appeals and grant the variation.
- 5 - 5-13-86
Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee,
stated that in reading the comments in the Zoning Board of Appeals
hearing, had that person flipped his deck the opposite way the deck would
have still been there.
Mr. James Capelle, resident living behind the property in question, stated
that if the deck was flipped into the other direction, the property owner
would be in compliance. Mr. Capelle stated that he can hear normal
conversation in his master bedroom at night when the deck is being used.
Mr. Ropas stated that he can hear the conversations of Mr. Hezinger ( 1210
Robin Drive) when he is sitting on his deck.
Trustee Petri stated that the Committee was at Mr. Hezinger' s house before
making a decision.
Trustee Gallitano arrived at 9:14 p.m.
Discussion followed; whereupon President Zettek, with the approval of the
Board, put this matter back into the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning
Committee for reconsideration.
Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee,
stated that the Committee's first meeting will include invitations to Mr.
Ropas , Mr. Capelle and all interested parties and the Committee will come
to a conclusion that night.
Trustee Petri stated that the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee
received correspondence from the Village Engineer dated May 8, 1986,
regarding the tree roots in sanitary sewers. Trustee Petri stated that
there are some changes recommended by the Village Manager that fire
hydrants and utility polls be added to item 4, Parkway Restoration.
Trustee Petri stated that the Committee recommends that this Board adopt
this as Village policy.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board adopt, as Village policy, the Village Engineer's recommendations as
stated in his memo of May 8, 1986 with the addition as stated above.
Trustee Bosslet stated that if a tree is replaced in the parkway and the
owner is responsible for maintenance, the Village should give the owner a
one year watering permit.
Trustee Petri stated that replacement of sod that the owner is responsible
for should also be added to the one year watering permit.
Trustee Petri stated that our original recommendation on the contractor
was that the Village have a group of 4, 5, or 6 contractors that would be
recommended to do the work. The recommendation is NOT to do that but the
Engineering Department would review the resident's choice of contractor.
Trustee Hauser referred to the memo where we talk about the homeowners
responsibility. If a tree look like it's dying, who should the homeowner
contact. (A phone number will be given to the homeowner. )

who is responsible.

have gone through the required review process and have been reviewed by
the appropriate parties. The first is a one lot subdivision entitled,
"Malnoti Subdivision" , at Higgins Road and Joey Drive.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the

President Zettek introduced Joe Gdowski , Land and Forestry Foreman.
Mr. Gdowski stated that the Village has been given the "Tree City" award
which is a national recognition throughout the whole United States and not
just state wide. Every year this award has to be reviewed. In
recognition, Governor Thompson issued a Proclamation proclaiming April as
"Tree City USA" appreciation month, Mr. Gdowski said signs will be put
put up stating Elk Grove Village is the "Tree City USA" for 1986.
President Zettek thanked Joe Gdowski , on behalf of the Village, for his
efforts in the Village to receive this award.
The Village Manager stated that a recommendation from the Zoning Board of
Appeals, Docket No. 86-9, a variation from side yard requirements to
construct a fireplace, was to grant the request.

variation on Docket No. 86-11 as stated above. The motion was voted upon
by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
President Zettek reported on the last meeting he and Trustee Bosslet
attended of the O'Hare Advisory Committee.
President Zettek commented on an article in the Chicago Tribune that
basically says that for many years the O'Hare Advisory Committee has been
dominated by the Chicago representation as headed by the Chairman who
represents the City of Chicago. In this particular case, Mr. Anderson is
an aid to Mayor Washington and he rules with an iron hand. He takes
consensus of what he thinks he hears and tells us back. At the last
meeting the Mayors , who is part of the OHAC Committee (that should not be
confused with the Suburban O'Hare Committee) , we decided to force the
issue and called upon the Chair to take a vote recognizing parliamentary
procedures and Robert Rules of Order to allow every matter to be voted on
and demanded to take a vote. He refused to do that so we called on the
Vice-Chairman to hear our motion, and seconded, and take a vote; and he
did. We stood up (we outnumbered the other group 8 to 7) and we made a
motion to adjourn and walked out and left the other 7 members there. Only
time will tell whether that was a prudent move or a bad move. It was a
way of showing our resentment at the harassment, dictating and complete
domination by the Chairman of that Board. We don't think it's right and
so we showed our consternation by following that path. We have reason to
believe that since we did call for a vote, and votes were taken, we were
proper and correct in what we did. At some point we might have to seek
out legal recourse in the courts to prove that what we did was correct.
President Zettek reported that the Suburban O'Hare Commission held a rally
in Springfield. Today there was a rally on the steps in order to
encourage the General Assembly to adopt some legislation that will give us
some relief.
President Zettek reminded the Board of the Foreign Trade Zone seminary
that is going to take place on Wednesday, May 21, 1986 at 10:45 a.m. at
Maxwell 's Plum.

The Village Manager reported as follows:
1. The intensity of activity has pick up relative to the
interchange at Arlington Heights Road and the tollway.
We met with representatives of the Department of
Transportation, the Village of Arlington Heights, and
our Engineering Consultants. We are beginning to put
into motion steps which will take advantage of the
$750,000 Governor Thompsons ' budgeted for 1987 for
preliminary engineering work and the 17.8 million
dollars he presently put into the 5 year plan. However,
17.8 million dollars represents the best estimate
anyone has for construction of that interchange
improvement and improvements to Arlington Heights
Road. It does not speak to the issue of who pays how
much of that 17.8 million dollars. It simply indicates
that the Village of Elk Grove and the Village of
Arlington heights will share in that overall project
cost with the tollway authority and with the Illinois
Department of Transportation. Future meetings will be
held to work out an agreement to cover how those
expenses might be shared and on what basis.
2. The Northwest Municipal Conference meeting is
tomorrow night which is in direct conflict with our
birthday party celebration. Mr. Heins, Cook County
Assessor, will be speaking on assessment ratios that
exist in Cook County and counties surrounding Cook
- 9 - 5-13-86
County. (The Village Manager will be representing the

3. Clearmont School District 59 is hosting it's 25th year
Anniversary celebration on Friday May 30, 1986 at 7:30
p.m. The Principal , Anthony Mastardo, will also be
honored. An invitation was extended to the President
and Board of Trustees.
4. You have seen the gravel trucks and the asphalt truck
over at the Grove Shopping Center. The owner is making
some significant effort to repair the parking and
driveway area.
5. The Village has been offered another opportunity
to respond in some way to the City of Chicago
Department of Aviation's request for comments on the
Noise Comparability Plan Study. The County of Du Page,
with their considerable resources, have undertaken
quite an extensive evaluation of the Compatible Study.
I believe, and so does Mr. Zettek, that the Du Page
County response as input towards that study effort
would be appropriate for Elk Grove Village.
If there are no objections the Village will
communicate that type of message to the City of Chicago
and ask that they consider the Du Page County response.
The Board had no objection.
6. Salt Creek was walked along with Staff people,
Representatives of the Division of Water Resources, and
the US Soil and Conservation Service. A report has
been distributed.
7. School District 59 has distributed flyers
advertising the public sale of Mark Hopkins School
scheduled for June 28, 1986.
Discussion followed as to the prospective purchaser of Mark Hopkins
School ; to be made aware of the Village zoning laws and ordinances.
President Zettek suggested the Village have a representative at the public
sale and merely make a statement that we think advisable, or pass out the
letter we sent to the School District.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto 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
10:08 P.M.
