A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT

The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion to
adopt the Consent Agenda, Items "A, B, C, D, E and F" , and upon the
roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick,
Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: Trustee Hauser;

It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Chernick that

motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE:
Petri , Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: Trustee
Hauser; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The Village Manager pointed out to the Board that the documents
pertaining to the Schreiner Annexation are all in order with exception
of the plat of subdivision which requires some changes to reflect the
correct language on certain easements . That can be accomplished
subsequent to Board approval and once the changes are made the plat
can be recorded.
The Manager also called attention to the right-of-way along Meacham
Road stating that the County acquired a 50 ' strip of property from the
Schreiner propertu a few years aqo for the 4-lane construction now
underwav along Meacham Road. The Village sought a 60 ' right-of-wav
along Meacham Road making a total of 120 ' . Al1' of the discussion and
reviews , up to this time , have been based upon the right-of-way being
placed in Meacham Road and have not explored the possibility of
increasing the right-of-way by 101 . In reviewing that matter it is
our opinion that a 50 ' right-of-way on the east side between
Biesterfield road and Nerge Road is sufficient. That will leave
approximately a 10 ' parkway or space between the curb line and the
nearest edge of the 5 ' sidewalk. The other side of the road or in
those sections where there is 60 ' , the separation is approximately
20 ' . The Staff feels this 50 ' right-of-way south of Biesterfield is
sufficient and recommends that documents predicated on that be
considered and approved with the various documents before the Board
tonight.
Trustee Uhlarik questioned if there would be sufficient space for
utilities .
The Manager assured Trustee Uhlarik that there is enough space and .`_hat_
the County' s standard is 100 feet of right-of-wav and have constructer?
2 major roadways through the Village with 100 .feet of space .

The Village Manager referred to a recommendation from the Plan
Commission dated January 15 , 1985 reporting on the Hampton Inn
petition for a Special Use Permit at the intersection of Busse Road
and the Northwest Tollway. The Plan Commission has recommended the
Special Use in the 1-1 Zoning District with variations to be granted
for front yard parking, one rather than 2 loading spaces , and a sign
variation which would permit the major sign 60 feet high. Thev
recommend further that the standard size parking stalls be rec*_uired
rather than the smaller stalls that are being considered at a publi^
11-arina coming u'o nr?xt ^+oath . Thev also recmmnrend the grillage
cooperate with the owner in ,:*temntinq to rnnve the e:;isti^,g siq:
,ext to the Tnllway. Since the Plan Commission meetinq, the developer
4 - 1 -22-85
has had some success with the party that owns the sign to the extent
that the developer of Hampton Inns can relocate that sign to the
furthest northwest point of their property. In that way the sign will
have a life expectancy of not more than 12 years , at which time the
sign would have to be removed. Thev will need a sign variation to
erect a 60 foot sign and also a ground sign to be located on the Busse
Road frontage.
The Staff and the Village Manager recommend the Board accept the Plan
Commission' s recommendations with regard to the variations identified;
however, we recommend the reduced parking stalls 9 feet by 19 feet be
permitted and a variation for that be granted and further recommend
that a variation be granted for a ground sign. We finally recommend
that all the terms and conditions that are required to accommodate
these several points be incorporated in a Special Use Permit to be
developed by the Village Attorney.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that
the Board direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance granting
a Special Use and variations as recommended by the Plan Commission and
the Village Manager as stated above . The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

The Village Manager reported on the following :
1 . The Village Manager was in Springfieid on Januar-
2 , 1935 attempting to secure legislation that ,ould
be of benefit to Elk Grove Village and the nth.-r
embers of the T,7ater AgPncv.
- 5 - 1 -22-85
Both the Senate and the House have passed the piece
of legislation on the 9th of January, 1985 , and the
Governor, 7 days later, signed the Bill and the
"Take or Pay" provision is now on the books in the
State of Illinois .
That legislation will assist the Joint Action Water
Agency to secure the most favorable market conditions
for the refinancing of some 42 Million Dollars in
short term notes .
President Zettek has sent appropriate letters
of appreciation to the leaders of the House
and Senate, the Governor and in particular
Senator Virginia Macdonald , who has been
instrumental in the passage of the Bill.
2 . The Board of Directors, of the Joint Action
Water Agency, will meet in the Elk Grove
Village Municipal Building on -Wednesday,
the 30th of Januarv, 1985 , at 7 : 30 p.m.
The Water Aqencv project is on schedule and
deliver- of water is expected this summer.
3 . The Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program,
that is going on throughout the Village,
is progressing extremly well and at this
point there have been no complaints
-received from the residents . We will be
well into the summer before this nroject
is completed.
4 . The communication cards were sent to the
residential and industrial communit•7. The
Village has received 26 cards , as of today,
and eleven were on the "Ideas and Suc_ges-
tions" cards and fifteen were on the
"Complaints and Problems" cards .
There were 31 comments covering 17 tonics .
This has been a goodresponse and we are
making sure that all cards will be responded
to; however, there are and will be some
problems or suggestions called to our atten-
tion which cannot be handled at the Staf`
level . Some may require action by the
Village Board and some may require action
by another governmental agenC�7. Those items
will be promptly directed to the appropriate
party.
5 . A communication from the Finance Director
has been distributed regarding the issuance
of Industrial Revenue Bonds by the State
of. Illinois to Cooperative Marketing Co. of
Elk Grove Village . The village has the option
to object to the issuance of those ponds by the
adoption of a resolution within 45 days of
notification.
It is the recommennation of Staff not to
object, 1n fact to encollrag P- the Stag tc
issue those Bonds for develonment of
oronert,, ,.within 71k (7rov,� Di11 ,qa . '"he

6 . About 19 dwelling units have experienced
freeze-up in the Hampton Farms area over
the severe cold weather we have experienced.
Centex Corporation, was out at those properties
making repairs and accommodating the residents .
The Home Owners Association and Centex distributed
leaflets to the residents prior to that deep freeze
period making certain suggestions how the residents
might avoid freeze-ups . Five or six of these were
repeats from last year and some were caused bv_
fault of the occupant.
The Village is not aware of any defects and
the developer is checking on what can be
done to counteract the problem.
7 . The trailors have been removed from the
Neihoff Pavillion area.
8 . The Village has received material from the
Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors
Bureau requesting the Village to designate
the Bureau as its representative for con-
vention, tourism, and visitor purposes in
order to use our population/economic base
as a measure for securing funds from the
State of I1linois and join the organization
and become a member at 8% of our Hotel/Motel
Tax Revenue.
That would represent about $17 , 920 . 00 . The
State of Illinois with their Grant System would
match that dollar for dollar and thus to the
Bureau our funds would be worth $35 , 840 . 00 . Thev
are expecting to receive favorable consideration
for some $600 , 000 in Federal Funds o1rer the next
18 months . Each of those would be matched by a
dollar raised locally in membership fees , etc. ,
giving them a War Chest of about $1 , 200 , 000 .
to carry out these services , programs and
actilrities to promote tourism, conventions ,
visitors and indust_ry and commerce to locate
within this area called the Greater Woodfield
Bureau.
Thee are looking for a resnonse at our convenience
and are nrenared to coma_ and anSz7er anv guest-,:ns
the Board may have.
