The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Tosto in the
Trustee's Conference Room. The following items were discussed:
1. CENTER STREET- Sanitary Sewer Connection
Because of the attendance at the lost Board meeting by
various property owners, this item was again discussed.
The residents of the homes on North Park and Center
were concerned about the possibility of future annex-
ation. None of these people were at this Committee
meeting.
The Committee indicated that they prefer all the
unincorporated area east of Tonne and north of
Devon annex at one time. This item was discussed
at the last Committee meeting and Village Board
meeting. It makes more sense economically and
logistically to annex as a group if they need to
or want to annex.
The Village Engineer is to continue to work with
the Village Attorney preparing a pre-annexation
agreement for lots 16 and 17 on Center Street.
Concurrently, the residents should be meeting
to decide if the entire lots want to annex. The
conditions for annexation have been given to
the engineer for the residents but are open for -
discussion with the Village.

1. ELMHURST RD. BETWEEN GREENLEAF AND ESTES-
Sidewalk Waiver
The property owner of this vacant parcel is requesting a
temporary construction waiver for the sidewalk along the
Elmhurst Road frontage only. Mr. Gary Wallsten showed
a plan of the site and explained where sidewalk exists.
As adjacent sidewalk on Elmhurst Road is minimal in
length and location, they indicated the walk did not
really lead anywhere. In addition, the proposed lands-
caping was not compatible with sidewalks as we require.
The Committee unanimously agreed to recommend to
the Village Board a temporary waiver for sidewalk
construction on Elmhurst Road only. This would be
done as Mr. Jaffe (representing the owner) agreed
for the owner to execute the "Statement of Commitment
to Construct Public Sidewalk."
The Village Engineer will work with the owner to get
the appropriate documentation in order. Only after
this is in order will it be sent to the Village Board.
The meeting adjourrn�ed/at 7:40 p.m.

SUBJECT: BURGER KING TRAFFIC
The Engineering Department made the following traffic observa-
tion on Tuesday, August 6, 1985 and Wednesday, August 7, 1985 between
the hours of 77:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
The durations given are the total time the blockage occurred during
the observation period. The percentages are of the blockage time as a
percentage of the observation period (1.5 hours). The findings are as
follows: (refer to the attached exhibit)
7.) Burger King Drive entrance lane
blocked by Drive-thru traffic:
816185 - 19 min. (21%)
817185 - 76 712 min. (18%)
2.) Burger King Drive entrance
blocked by autos on Mall Drive
exiting onto Arlington Heights Rd.
816185 - 2 min. (2%)
817185 - 7 min. (7%)
3.) Burger King Drive entrance lane
and eastbound Mall Drive blockage
caused by Burger King customers
entering lot:
816185 - 4 min. (4%)
817185 - 4.5 min. (5%)
4.) One southbound lane (westerly
lane) of Arlington Hts. Rd. is blacked
(due to cars turning right onto Mall
Drive):
816185 - 15 sec. (0.3%)
617185 - Zero (0%)

5.) Traffic entering Burger King Drive
from Mall Drive blocks both east and
westbound traffic on Mall Drive.
(cars exiting Arlington Hts. Rd. onto
Mall Drive can still exit).
8/6/85 - 75 sec. (3%)
8/7/85 - 7.5 min. (2%)
Conclusion:
The longest blockage (by duration) occurred internally at the drive-up lane
and had no affect on the ingress and egress of vehicles onto Arlington Heights Road
or the Mall Drive. All the other blockages (items ill thru 4) were of short duration
and should be considered insignificant.
