Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, reported that the Committee met on December 8, 1986 to discuss the landscaping regulation waiver request from developer, Joseph Rubin, which was just voted upon by the Board as part of the Agenda. The Committee also discussed the Engineer's report on the Nicholas Boulevard drainage plans. There are four alternative plans. It is recommended that this subject be discussed at the next Committee-of-the-Whole meeting in January, 1987. Trustee Petri requested a first reading of two ordinances that have been prepared by the Village Attorney upon the recommendation of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE XI - INOPERATIVE MOTOR VEHICLES OF CHAPTER 14 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE" and "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 18.5109 - FALSE ALARM/ADDITIONAL CHARGE/LICENSE REVOCATIONS OF ARTICLE LI ALARM SYSTEMS OF CHAPTER 18 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE BY ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR EXCESS FALSE ALARMS". The Village Manager presented a recommendation from the Plan Commission regarding the Strawberry Hill screening plan stating that there was an oversight on the part of the Plan Commission when they previously approved the plan in October. The oversight failed to take into account the property abutting the residential property on the north side of the project. The screening plan which was approved provided for the east side of that property but nothing was provided for the north side because there was already existing a fence which had been installed by Centex when the subdivision was developed. This fence is privately owned by the residents that back up to that area. The Plan Commission reconsidered that screening plan and have recommended that the developer install a similar fence along the north side of the property. This would require a variation of approximately four feet adjacent to four properties on Oregon Trail . The Commission also recommends that the Village should waive the requirement of the developer to install 8 Village parkway trees. The Village Ordinance requires that the developer install 8 trees along the Cook County roadway, but since the Village does not plant trees on County or State right-of-ways, the arrangement was for the developer to furnish those trees and the Village will plant them at some other location in the community. The Plan Commission recommends that the Board waive that requirement and allow the developer to use the funds otherwise going toward the trees to offset the cost of constructing a fence along the north side of the commercial property. This would require the removal of - 3 - 12-16-86 the existing fence and the installation of a higher fence to match the one installed on the east side of the property. Discussion followed regarding the acceptance of the proposed fence by the property owners and the recommendation to waive the developer's requirement to donate 8 trees to the Village. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board concur with the recommendation of the Plan Commission and waive the hei ht requirement for the installation of a fence on the north side of the Strawberry Hi 1 P aza Shopping Center, The President directed the Clerk to call the rollontion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

The Village Clerk read a letter of request from the Elk Grove Township Community Day Care Center for a waiver of license fees for the Coca-Cola and coffee vending machines installed in their building. Discussion followed regarding whether this type of waiver has ever been granted to any other government facility. The consensus was that vending companies pay for the license rather than the facility where the vending machine is placed.

The State of Illinois is placing a tax on solid waste disposal at the rate of SO.45 per cubic yard and Du Page County, in addition to that tax, is adding $0.70 per cubic yard for a total tax of $1. 15 per cubic yard. That equates to $0.47 per month per residential user. There is also a prorated increase to nonresidential users so they will also pick up their share of taxes being levied by the State and DuPage County. - 7 - 12-16-86 It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the meeting be adjourned.
