Ronald L. Chernick, Dennis J. Gallitano, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri ,

minutes of July 22, 1986 be approved as submitted and that the Board
dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The President introduced Mr. David Schmerler, son of Harry Schmerler owner
of Schmerler Ford in Elk Grove Village. Mr. Schmerler explained a "We
Care" nationwide program sponsored by Ford Motor Company, which entails
matching funds of $1,000.00 from Ford Motor and $1,000.00 from a dealership
(such as Schmerler Ford) be donated to a municipality or township for
hiring high school students to perform whatever community service the
municipality deems necessary.
Mr. Schmerler presented President Zettek with a check in the amount of
$2,000.00 to be used by Elk Grove Village for the "We Care" program.
President Zettek introduced Mr. John Markino, owner of M & S Construction
Company, who related to the Board his problem in submitting a $50,000 Bond,
as required by Village Ordinance, when constructing a residential
driveway. Mr. Markino stated that the ordinance caused undue burden on
small contractors. Due to this requirement he would have to refuse further
construction in Elk Grove Village.
The Village Engineer explained that any work being done on Village property
(right-of-way) does require a $50,000 Bond, no matter what type of work
that may be. The Engineer further stated that due to a number complaints
received from small business contractors, the Engineering Department has
been doing two things;
1. A survey of surrounding municipalities to see what
their requirements are as far as protection to the
Village for damage that may be caused outside of
the work that the contractor is doing; and
2. To see if the Village can differentiate on a bond
amount between underground type of improvements and
a surface type of improvement.
The Engineering Department is in the process of putting together estimates
of costs to determine what the maximum amount of damage might be in both
of those areas for a contractor who happens not to be very conscientious.
A letter of recommendation will be forwarded to the Village Board.
Trustee Chernick requested this item be considered at a Capital
Improvements Committee meeting on Monday, August 18, 1986 at 7:00 p.m.
(Mr. Markino was invited to attend this meeting. )
The Capital Improvements Committee will make a recommendation at the
Committee-of-the-Whole meeting on Tuesday, August 19, 1986.
Mr. Markino was informed that he should call the Village Engineer on
Wednesday, August 27, 1986 for the decision of the Board as to whether or
not the amount of the required bond will be lowered.
Trustee Chernick stated that someone would be in contact with Mr.
Markino.

Mr. Doug Winters , a representative of the Homeowners Association,
addressed the Board stating that they have had a difficult time in
contacting the developer of this property with regard to promises made at
the public hearings regarding landscaping.
President Zettek said that the developer is obligated to maintain the
demands and requests of the Plan Commission, which will be enforced by the
Village Board. The President further stated that if the Association is
seeking an agreement with the developer, it should be done through the
Association's Counsel ; however, the Village has recently adopted a
Landscaping Ordinance that places demands on the developer to provide a
given amount of landscaping predicated on square footage and the number of
parking stalls, etc. , and part of that ordinance will provide that you
have adequate screening.
The Building Commissioner said the landscaping plan must be approved by
the Plan Commission. The Building Department will not issue an occupancy
permit until the landscaping has been installed.
Mr. Winters said one of the Association's concern is landscaping the
section to the west side of this property which the developer does not own
at this time but has an option to buy until March, 1987. Although he did
state at the Plan Commission hearing that landscaping would also be
provided for that area.

testimony at the hearing with regard to those statements regarding
landscaping of property not presently owned by the developer.

in the audience who might wish to address the Board.

will be presented at the next Village Board meeting.

a profusion of signs.

it can be handled.
