" The Clerk reported receipt of a written recommendation from the Plan Commission stating that they recommend that the pre-annexation zoning to M-2 of the subject property, be approved subject to whatever covenants and conditions are required by the Village Board. Mr. Earl McLennan, of William C. McLennan and Company, 6665 Northwest Highway, Chicago, (representing the property owners, Henry Riemer and Dorothea Riemer) presented the testimony on this matter. Village Manager George L. Majoros related the folloii ng history of a drainage problem on the subject property: Forty or more years ago there was a natural drainage of storm water running in a southwesterly to a northeasterly direction. About 1920 the ditch was replaced with farm tile and covered over with earth. Drainage is now a problem on the west side of Elmhurst road since the tile is not adequate in size, and it is subject to crushing, infiltration and silting thereby reducing its capacity to carry present storm water drainage. An engineering study has been made and it has been determined that the most natural way for drainage would be the establishment of a drainage easement along the south side of the property where an open ditch could be dredged. Mr. McLennan stated that he does not know the implications of the above-cited problem and could not say at this time how much land his client would or should give for this purpose, however they will reasonably attempt to cooperate with the Village in this problem. - 1 - Public Hearing 11-8-66 In reply to a question from Trustee Coney as to the Village's possible interest in acquiring some of the subject land for water system additions, Mr. McLennan said that his client will deal with the Village on a price level consistent with the price set for other buyers, and on a level in proportion to the benefit to be derived. Trustee Mullen arrived - 7:28 p.m. Following discussion of the agreement, as proposed, it was decided that the Village Attorney, Village Manager, and Mr. McLennan will work out changes in paragraphs 3 and 5 of the agreement and the proposed addition of a paragraph relating text amendments to the zoning ordinance in reference to performance standards. During discussion of subdivision regulations, Mr. McLennan pointed out that the requirement for sidewalks in the industrial area cause large expenditures in relation to the minimal practical use to which these sidewalks are put. There were no other persons present who wished to speak on this matter. It was moved by Tris tee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the hearing be adjourned. The motion was voted upon acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the hearing adjourned at 7:53 p.m. Eleanor G. TafXer Village Cle APPROVED: r is D.

Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Mr. Troy Miller, Village Engineer, reported as follows on the proposed lowerine of well #2: During the heavy demand period in July, 1966 this well was operating at 400 to 600 gallms per minute. By lowering the well from its present 700 feet to 900 feet, in the present condition of the water table, the pumping capacity would be 1 ,000 gallons per minute on a sustained basis. The estimated costs are (1 ) $4,500 for removing the pipe and pump, all necessary cleaning and replacing certain parts; and (2) $5,380 for the additional 200 feet of pipe. Mr. Miller said that the actual amount of the cost of pump repair as opposed to a new pump and the question of whether or not bailing is necessary will not be known until the pump is pulled. He said that it is vital that this well be restored to full operating capacity and recommended that the Board direct work to be started. It was moved by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Coney that the Board concur in the Village Engineer's recommendation and direct the Village Manager to engage Layne-Western Company for a sum not to exceed .x9,900, for removal of well and installation of new pipe, 200 feet in length, at well #2 site.

Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Mr. Miller reported that the proposed lowering of well # is not as vital as well #2 and would not materially increase the capacity of the well, however it would be insurance that the capacity would be maintained for a longer period of time andira his opinion is worth the expenditure. An additional 140 feet in depth is recommended for this well requiring seven 20 feet lengths of 8" pipe (as opposed to 1011 for well #2) plus air line and labor for a total estimated cost of 04500. He said that he would like to conduct further study on this - 2 - Reg. 11-8-66 project which study will not necessitate any delay because, in any event, he would not recommend proceeding with the work until the spring of 1967.
