A tentative authorization was given to the Staff and Attorney to draw up an Annexation Agreement. 3. Interested parties wish to locate a Warehouse Club, membership only - cash b carry, at 1950 Pratt Boulevard. After considerable discussion with them and their attorney,we are going to work to- gether with our Attorney to draw up a proposed ordinance. Hopefully, by the next Village Board meeting we can direct the Plan Commission to have a hearing on that proposed ordinance. The Committee would like to use this ordinance to coincide with item d, Zoning Ordinance Restriction concerning retail use of industrial area, of the JPZ Agenda. The JPZ Committee also met on January 5, 1983 with the Plan Commission specifically to discuss the Comprehensive Master Plan, and Ithe Text Amendment regarding the Zoning Ordinance Condit ionaIUses in B-1, B-2 and B-3 Districts was turned over to the Committee. The JPZ Committee has some items to turn over to the Attorney and request his presence at the next meeting. The JPZ Committee met on January 10, 1983, as the False Alarm Hearing Board, at the request of the Chief of Police regarding Chapman Industries. After a long discussion with Chapman Industries and the Alarm Company, we *were satisfied that they are in fact working to reduce the false alarms and will make some changes. Chapman Industries have not had a false alarm as of December 24, 1982, when they had installed a new piece of equipment. The Police Chief is to keep the False Alarm Board informed as to their status and to admonish them that the next time the alarms reach l0.false alarms they will be subject torevocation. The Board received a report from the Police Chief regarding the overall reduction of alarms since the passing of the Alarm Ordinance. Trustee Hauser, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, scheduled a meeting of the Committee for Tuesday, January 18, 1983 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the 1983/84 salary review process.

Mr. Robert F. Fleming, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, addressed the Board regarding a petition for a Zoning Variation from Woodson Development for the National Child Care Center to be located on the north side of Bonaventure Drive, east of Nerge Road. A public hearing was held on November 19, 1982 concerning this petition. Five members of the Zoning Board of Appeals met tonight to conclude their discussion and voted to recommend a "DO NOT GRANT". However, the Zoning Board requested the Village Board to put this item in abeyance in order for the Petitioner to appeal to the Plan Commission for a review of the "stacking" requirements. Mr. Fleming explained the "stacking" requirements in the Zoning Ordinance and stated that schools do not have this requirement,only day care centers and bank drive -up teller windows. The Zoning Board feels that in fairness this should be addressed to the Plan Commission. The Zoning Board did not consider the rear setback variation request too critical, only the stacking variation. Mr. Fleming stated that the Petitioner was willing to await the outcome of the Plan Commission decision and would then place another appeal. e President Zettek said that the Board will not act on the recommendation at this time and informed the Petitioner that he would have to present a petition to the Plan Commission. The Village Manager informed the Petitioner of the proper steps to follow to present their petition. Trustee Petri, Chairman of the Ca.ble T.V. Committee, informed the Board of a meeting held on January 6, 1983 at the new (Cable TV) studio in Palatine, at the old Palatine High School, which they reviewed at that time. This studio is to be used by all five Warner Communities in addition to a studio under construction in Rolling Meadows. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss with the Warner Attorney direction.sand :insight as to how the communities can qualify for the additional 2% of revenues generated. 3% is guaranteed by the Federal Communication Commission for our use to do with as we wish on an individual basis. The additional 2% is now required to be put back into the Cable TV in'some way. That money is now being put into individual interest bearing accounts, as per our agreement with Warner, which guarantees us 5%. The Warner Group is looking for direction on how to use this money, the options being: individual towns manage their own 2%; 5 town Warner Group in total to use in the two studios; or the Warner Group distribute the money on a pro -rata basis to the communities. President Zettek asked if there is an accounting of these funds and will the Village decide how to use these funds? Trustee Petri explained that there are various options and these will be discussed at the February meeting. Trustee Hauser asked if they were doing any public relations.in the various community service clubs, schools, etc.. Trustee Petri informed Trustee Hauser they would be doing so in the near future. They do have a program director now who is starting to get involved - 4 - 1-11-83 in these things and will be putting together a brochure describing the various programs and they have a training package to have courses given for certifica- tion to those who will want to use the equipment (produce,direct and use of camera).
