I C R C Meeting Minutes March 5, 1998 page two Nancy Carlson reported that Ron Behm, who is unable to attend this meeting, asked that the Commission consider the following. Rather than designate any funds for private improvements in the first phase, why not concentrate on the public improvements and see if private property owners will follow suit and make improvements on their own.

It was acknowledged that there must be some flexibility in the budgets for various line items so that the Village will have some flexibility as market conditions change. 2. The role of the proposed staff administrator was discussed. See revised data sheet 3. Forty thousand dollars will come out of the Village budget to help fund the Blue Line Transit study_ 4. The idea of setting aside money for a marketing consultant was well received. The idea of a video 5 to 7 minutes to show to prospective tenants was suggested.

The Commission agreed with the emphasis given to Tonne as a demonstration project but recognized that the specific cross over locations would have to be pinned down during preliminary design. 6. The Commissioners stressed the importance of getting the staff administrator for the revitalization program on board as soon as possible. 7. The question was raised if we can use our selected logo and color on the State route signs. The consultant will investigate this. The consultant will also add an illustration of a raised planing section as an alternative median treatment. The team will also verify that the State will pay for the lighting schemes as a part of IDOT improvements on the State routes. 8. All of the Commissioners supported the addition of more gateway signs and landscaping treatment as recommended by the subcommittee. 9_ Lights on local streets and a policy,oj`sidewalks along all streets was supported. 10. The Village will give special consideration to code relief if it does not compromise life safety and if a property owner is making revitalization improvements on building facades, dock areas, parking and roofs. In other words,the dollar value of improvements may not trigger comprehensive code compliance expenditures if the dollars are spent primarily on the exterior of the building consistent with the Master Plan guidelines. Follow-up The consultant team will prepare a revised draft incorporating all of the subcommittee recommendations and distribute one week prior to the next Commission meeting. The next Commission meeting with the consultant team will be held Thursday April 2, 7998 at 6:15 p.m. The focus of the meeting will be to accept any specific changes to the Master Plan prior to its being reproduced for distribution to the Village Board with the graphics included.
