It was moved by Trustee Coney and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the
Board authorize the disbursement of 910,185.84 from the General Corporate
Account in payment of the invoices as shown on the Supplemental Accounts
Payable Warrant of October 24, 1967. The President directed the Clerk to
call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following
Trustees answered "AYE" - Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera,
Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - none. Whereupon the President declared
the motion carried.
Trustee Coney, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, read a
Committee report dated October 24, 1967 on a Policy Recommendation as
concerned with sidewalk repair and replacement. This report contained
the following policy recommendations:
1 . That the cost of sidewalk repair and/or replacement be shared
equally between the property owner and the Village.
2. That the Village bear the cost of repairing and/or replacing
sidewalks at cross corners.
3. That the property owner bear the cost of replacing a sidewalk
across a driveway.
4. The sidewalk replacement program to apply only to public walkways
and not to sidewalks on private property.
5. The property owner must deposit their share of the repair cost
with the Village prior to any repairs being made.
6. The Village will do all repair and replacement.
In addition to the foregoing, Trustee Coney stated that the Committee
strongly urges that concrete standards be upgraded. The Committee's
Policy Recommendations above were referred to the Village Attorney for
a report on legal aspects.
Trustee Coney reported that the Capital Improvements Committee has met
with the Village Manager and Department Heads, that they are .conpiling
data on space and equipment needs, the minimum requirements for 1969 and
1970, and an estimate of the needs five (5) to six (6) years hence. The
space requirements come to one hundred thousand (100,000) additional
square feet of space -- including three (3) additional Fire Stations, a
central service area for storage and maintenance of equipment, new
Police facilities, Circuit Court faoilitiesj council chambers, and
administrative offices. He stated that it is hoped construction can
begin so as to provide a 1969 occupancy date. However, before going
into financing, it is necessary to have cost estimates, and he stated
that the Committee asks the concurrence of the Board in selecting an
architect.
It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Chernick that
the Board authorize the Capital Improvements Committee to conduct such
interviews as deemed necessary for the selection of an architect for
new Municipal facilities. The motion was voted upon by acclamation,
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The Clerk reported that the State of Illinois Department of Public
Works and Buildings has scheduled a Public Hearing on the proposed
Busse Road improvement at the Elk Grove Village Hall, Thursday,
November 30, 1967 at 10:00 a.m.
It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
Board waive the first reading rule with respect to an Ordinance relating
to the Flood Plain. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon
the President declared the motion carried.
-3- Reg. 10/24/67
It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
Board adopt Ordinance no. 503 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE REGULATING BUILDINGS
AND STRUCTURES WITHIN THE FLOOD PLAIN". The President directed the Clerk
to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the follow-
ing Trustees answered "AYE" - Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera,
Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - none. Whereupon the President declared
the motion carried.
Regarding the petition and hearing heard on October 16th for the Coach
Cab Company of Wheeling to operate taxis within the Village, the Police
Chief reported that he has checked with the Wheeling Police Department
and with School District 59, with whom the petitioner has a contract,
and has received satisfactory reports regarding the principals of the
Coach Cab Company. He stated that he has not fingerprinted the owner.
However, on the basis of the Police records in Wheeling, it would seem
that this is an acceptable operation from a Police standpoint. The Clerk
reported receipt, this date, of the insurance policy covering the cabs
owned and operated by the Coach Cab Company; whereupon Trustee Gibson
examined the policy and it was determined that the coverage is not as
broad as has been required by the Village. The Village Manager was
requested to (1) ascertain the minimum statutory requirements for an
operation of this type and (2) have the petitioner secure a letter from
the School District assuming all liability.
At this time (9:55 p.m.), the President declared a recess to permit
residents in attendance at this meeting to address questions and comments
to the Board members.
President Pahl reconvened the meeting at 9:58 p.m. and directed the
Clerk to call the roll. Upon the roll being called, the following
Trustees answered "PRESENT" - Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera,
Zettek. "ABSENT" - none.
Mr. Stephen Schwellenbach, Chairman of the Plan Commission, presented
a report to the Board on the hearing to consider a text amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance to provide an R-4 Zoning District with a special
use for planned developments. The Plan Commission recommends that the
Board approve the proposed amendment subject to the following:
1 . All commercial convenience uses be deleted.
2. The sixty (601 ) feet or six (6) story limitation be removed.
3. The elevator requirement be defined more specifically as
recorded in the transcript of the hearing.
4. Those changes suggested by the Village Attorney in the
testimony presented at the hearing.
Following discussion by the Board members, it was decided that the
commercial convenience uses remain in the Ordinance since exterior
advertising would not be permitted, and that the sixty (60') feet or
six (6) story limitation should remain since it is the plan to have the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance be mora restrictive than this particular
Ordinance which is an amendment to the existing Zoning Ordinance No. 20.
The Attorney was then instructed to prepare the Ordinance in accordance
with the foregoing recommendations and conclusions.
Mr. Schwellenbach also reported that the Plan Commission held a hearing
on a petition to rezone certain property in the Higgins Road Commercial
Area from M-1 to B-1 . Mr. Schwellenbach stated that the testimony at
the hearing disclosed that the present zoning coupled with the subsequent
location of street rights-of-way could result in some lots in the area
being encumbered with two (2) zoning classifications, partially manu-
facturing and partially commercial. The Plan Commission recommended
that the petition for rezoning to B-1 be approved.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the
-4- Reg. 1C/24/67
Board authorize the Village Attorney to prepare an Ordinance rezoning
certain land in the Higgins Road Commercial Area to B-1 as recommended
by the Plan Commission. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, where-
upon the President declared the motion carried.
Mr. Schwellenbach also reported that the Plan Commission held a hearing
on a petition to amend the B-2 portion of the Zoning Ordinance toeo rmit
B-1 uses in the B-2 zone and to eliminate trailer courts and trailer sales
from the B-2 zone. The Plan Commission recommended that the Village Board
approve the amendment as presented at the hearings; whereupon it was moved
by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize
the Village Attorney to draft an Ordinance in accordance with the Plan
Commission's recommendation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation,
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
Mr. Schwellenbach also reported that the Plan Commission held a hearing
on a petition to rezone from M-2 to B-1 approximately ten (10) acres on
the west side of Route 83 between Landmeier Road and Elk Grove Boulevard,
as extended; the proposed use of the property is a Ford Motor Company
A en The Plan Commission recommended that the petition for rezoning
to B-1 be approved. The Clerk reported that an Ordinance has been pre-
pared for the rezoning of this land; whereupon it was moved by Trustee
Coney and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board waive the first
reading rule with regard to the Ordinance just presented by the Village
Clerk. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Coney and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the
Board adopt Ordinance No. 504 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE VILLAGE
OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE'S ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING TO PROPERTY CONSISTING

BOULEVARD, AS EXTENDED". The President directed the Clerk to call the
roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following Trustees
answered "AYE" - Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "NAY"

and 73 and the plat of dedication of Turner Avenue. The Clerk stated
that the Village Engineer and the Village Field Inspector have also
approved Unit Nos. 72 and 73, and the Village Engineer approved the
plat of Turner Avenue.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
Board adopt Resolution #72-67 entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL OF
PLAT OF SUBDIVISION IDENTIFIED AS CENTEX INDUSTRIAL PARK UNIT NO. 72".
The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and
upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" -

upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" -
Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT"
- none. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the
Board adopt Resolution #74-67 approving the plat of dedication of Turner
Avenue. Following discussion and concern as to the public improvements
constructed on all streets and the questions now pending concerning
acceptance of these improvements, the motion was withdrawn with the
consent of the second. The Manager and the Engineer were requested to
make a recommendation to the Board as to test cores of streets in
addition to inspections, and the Manager was requested to give the
-5- Reg. 10/24/67
Board a report and recommendation on street acceptance procedures.
Trustee Keith called attention to the speed limit on Arlington Heights
Road being forty (40) miles per hour instead of thirty (30) miles per
hour as is in the residential area of other portions of the Village.
He stated he felt it unreasonable that since Arlington Heights Road is
now lined with single family homes that the speed limit should remain
at forty (40) . President Pahl asked the Village Manager to request the
County to make a study aimed toward the reduction of the speed limit on
this road.
Mr. Willis reported that the Plan Commission has completed its review of
the Street Lighting Plan for Section 15 and authorization is needed to
sign the work order permits for installation of poles, light fixtures
and authorization to pay bills according to standard rates.
It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the
Board direct the Village President to sign the agreement between the
Village and Commonwealth Edison Company for street lights in Section 15.
The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President declared
the motion carried.
Mr. Willis reported receipt of a petition from Badger Pipe Line Companv
for a permit to permit the installation of a line to carry refined
petroleum products along Route 83 north from Devon to Oakton and beyond.
In reply to questions, he stated that the pipe line would be installed
in dedicated State right-of-way and that Village permits were required
for the portions of the right-of-way which are in the Village.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
Board grant permission to Badger Pipe Line Company for installation of
a sixteen (16") inch pipe line north from Devon Avenue along Route 83
according to the plans and information on file with the Village Manager.
Concern was expressed by the members of the Board that the Badger Pipe
Line Company has not secured their State permits as yet. Trustee
Chernick requested that the Village Engineer make his comments on this
proposal and Trustee Gibson stated that it would be far better for the
Village if the ripe went up Elmhurst Road instead of Oakton. Whereupon
the motion was withdrawn with the consent of the second.
It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at
11 :05 p.m.
