the roll being called the following answered AYE : Trustees Chernick,
Hauser, Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet; NAY; none; ABSENT: none;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
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.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that
