FOREIGN TRADE ZONE
President Zettek related the fact that the Trustee Bosslet,
Ian gray, Nancy Carlson, and representatives of the Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs met with the Port Authority to discuss
Harvey Zorn's and the International Trade Services Company's apparent
lack of interest/cooperation in establishing a Foreign Trade Zone
in Elk Grove Village unless that company owns and leases the property/
buildings. Frank Albert of the Port Authority indicated that Harvey
Zorn has first right of refusal but that someone else could get the
license if Zorn wasn't interested. Ian Gray and Nancy Carlson will
identify possible firms and parcels for review.
INDAB UPDATE
Trustee Bosslet requested that INDAB provide more frequent
reports on their work. Staff was directed to schedule INDAB for
a Committee of the Whole meeting, preferably October 21, 1986.
LIONS CLUB DONATION
Consensus was to accept a Lions Club donation of a weapon
display case (approximate value: $200).
KORBECK'S AUTO REPAIR SHOP
Members discussed the possibility of filing an objection
with the County to the proposed business expansion at Korbeck's Auto
Repair Shop. An alternative is to annex the property:.
Members directed Staff to discuss annexation with Korbeck
and determine compliance with Village codes and ordinances.

LINE of STGRY
Consensus of the members was to give Staff the authority
and responsibility to judge each line of signt infraction on its
own merit, based on the following framework:
- If 3' of hedge height doesn't interfere with line of sight,
allow a 3' hedge.
- In the older sections of the Village, be flexible, have
temperance. Don't go by the letter of the law for an
ordinance that hasn't been enforced. We want safety.
If we can obtain safety without a strict interpretation
of the law, then that is what the Building Department needs
to accomplish.
- Can't permit bushesfshrubs/evergreens to hang over the
sidewalk.
- Put the line of sight requirement in the new resident
package. Enforce the ordinance in the newer sections of
the Village where the shrubs bushes/trees are small enough
to move and re-locate. Stop potential Zine-of-sight pro-
blems before there is a problem.
- Look at the intersections of Village streets with main
arterials more closely.
Gary Parrin's suggestion of having staff prepare photos or a video-
tape of sample judgments for C.O.W. review was accepted.
UTILITY SSTENSIONS - DEVAA AVENUE
The costs advantages and disadvantages of the Village's
installing water and sanitary sewer lines along Devon Avenue (from
Carlisle to Tonne Road) were discussed.
Members want to discourage single lot annexation and
development. Consensus was to install watermain from Carlisle to
Tonne with no recapture fees required of parcels currently annexed
to the Village. The recapture will be placed on the unincorporated
properties for the entire expense including the cost to go under
Salt Creek and Ridge Avenue and across the Commonwealth Edison
property. The recapture fees would not include interest. EGV
will incur the costs associated with taking the watermain across
the Devon Avenue Market property to Tonne Road.
The sewer will be installed at the Village's expense and
recaptured from the benefitting unincorporated properties. The
sanitary sewer would not be installed until such time that a
developer/owner has concluded annexation with the Village.
A segment by segment cost estimate was requested from
Staff.

SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT
Members considered whether or not to replace sidewalk along
Nicholas Boulevard between Landmeier and Higgins Roads. As the
survey from the Greater O'Hare Association had not been received,
a decision was delayed.
ASPHALT OVERLAY ON DRIVEWAYS
Consensus agreed that driveways with asphalt installed prior
to December 31, 1985 be accepted and that use of asphalt on driveways
after that date be removed and herein strictly enforced.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:51 p.m.
