Czarnik, Member J. Petri, Member S. Lissner, Village Trustee Absent: None Staff: G. Parrin, Village Manager R. Rummel, Assistant Village Manager A. Boffice, Director of Engineering & Community Development Reporters: B. Connelly, Elk Grove Times BIESTERFIELD ROAD SIGNAGE PROPOSAL The JPZ Committee reviewed the recommendations of the Director of Engineering and Community Development. The Committee considered the interests of the Village in regulating window signage versus the interests of business in having the signs. In addition, the Committee discussed whether the regulations should be Village wide or limited . to the Biesterfield Road "downtown" area. The consensus of the JPZ Committee was to recommend to the Village Board as follows: -- The sign regulations apply to the Biesterfield Road corridor outlot areas and adjacent Arlington Heights Road outlot areas in front of the Elk Crossing and Grove Mall as proposed. -- Have staff seek comments from the five impacted businesses (Mc Donalds, Pizza Hut, LaSalle Bank, Citgo and Burger King) regarding the proposal; - - If the business community has no objections, adopt the regulations. - - If there are objections, the Committee should weigh the merits of the objections and determine whether or not the ordinance should be revised or adopted. AREAS ANNEXABLE TO ELK GROVE VILLAGE The Village Manager reviewed the areas that are unincorporated, but contiguous to or surrounded by Elk Grove Village. Many of the areas are in a position that the property cannot be involuntarily annexed. Or, the unincorporated property is residential and would require extensive upgrades to bring up to Village code. Upgrades would include the installation of water, sewer, storm sewer, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, and roadway reconstruction. The Committee then focused upon areas where annexation would prove beneficial to the Village. Benefits include either Village having control over the future development of the property, or additions to the property tax or sales tax base of the Village. The consensus of the Committee was to recommend pursuing discussions with the property owners of the following areas: Berthold's Nursery; Elk Grove T. V & Repair; the vacant property at Plum Grove and Nerge; the two unincorporated lots on Cosman; the unincorporated property on Meacham; the unincorporated property on Oakton (mushroom farm) ; and the Amoco tank farm. These properties may need some variations for a period of time to bring their property into compliance with codes. In addition, it was the consensus of the JPZ Committee to have staff ascertain the availability of water and sewer for the Oakton/Higgins area McDonald's; Exel Inn; Hamburger University; and Jiffy Lube. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. c: President & Board of Trustees Village Manager Assistant Village Manager Administrative Assistant Village Clerk Village Attorney Department Heads
