Trustee Hauser stated that his reason for requesting the removal of Item (A) , granting a Special Use Permit to Centex Homes Midwest, Inc. , from the Consent Agenda was not any objection to the recommendation from the Plan Commission but to another ancillary issue, which is the extension of Biesterfield Road to Plum Grove Road. Trustee Hauser referred to the Boards support of an I-290 interchange, opening Biesterfield Road to Meacham Road, and encouragement of industrial and commercial development to provide the Village with a better tax base. The by-product of that development is the need for traffic routes. Trustee Hauser said he feels that the extension of Biesterfield Road to Plum Grove Road will produce traffic and also produce a benefit to Village residents . Trustee Hauser said this item should be taken back into committee for further study. It was moved b- Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Uhlarik that the Board table Item (A) , granting Special Use Permit No. 2 to Centex Homes Midwest, Inc . , for further deliberations . The President 2 - 2-12-85 directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Hauser, Uhlarik; NAY: Trustees Petri, Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion "not" carried. Trustee Hauser requested that minutes of all the Committee-of-the- Whole meetings be distributed to Board members as he had, in this case, missed the particular meeting at which the extension of Biesterfield Road to Plum Grove Road was discussed. The Village Manager said notes are taken at all meetings but have not been put into formal minutes. President Zettek said he would, for the benefit of those in attendance , recount the various reasons why the majority of the Board had decided to turn down the consideration of extending Biesterfield Road: 1 . There would have to be condemnation of 3 to 8 homes . 2. Consideration to skirt those homes would cause more chaos at the Biesterfield Road intersection. 3 . Centex has already put in a considerable amount of monev for underground water and sewer facilities. 4 . While traffic congestion would be alleviated there would also be an invitation to a consid- erable number of people to go through the Village who were not housed in the Village, thereby providing more relief for those people living west of the Village. The Board did agree to having a full interchange at Biesterfield Road because they thought it would relieve congestion both on Higgins Road and Thorndale Avenue interchanges and at the same time would offer the kind of relief that would allow those people who live in Elk Grove Village the ability to get in and out of the Village on an east/west throughfare.
