Item A:
Joint Public Hearing of Plan Commission and Zoning Board of
Appeals for Special Use Permit and zoning variation allowing the
installation of outdoor warning sirens at 200 Biesterfield Road and
at 1620 Gibson.
Chief MacArthur began by providing answers to questions raised at
the last public hearing. Chief MacArthur stated the following:
1. The decibel level at the perimeter of the siren pattern
ranges around 70 decibels.
2. Schaumburg sirens do not give total coverage to the north-
west section of the Village.
3. There are two locations in the municipal parking lot
that probably can provide the 20 amps of power necessary to
service the siren.

Chief MacArthur stated that J.U.L.I.E. (Joint Utilities Locations
Information for Excavators) has located the underground utilities,
except electricity, in the municipal lot. The Chief also stated that
Commonwealth Edison has been notified and will be out sometime next
week to examine the site. The Chief than proposed to locate the siren
on the municipal parking lot pending the findings of Commonwealth
Edison. The Chief further stated that if the municipal lot site was
found to be unacceptable then, he recommends locating the siren at the
original site.
Commissioner Geinosky inquired as to whether the Village would
need a Special Use Permit to place the siren on the municipal lot.
Commissioner Geinosky also noted that if a permit is required a public
hearing would need to take place with notification given to affected
parties.
Commissioner Geinosky inquired if additional costs associated with
the siren would have to be approved by the Village Board. Chief
MacArthur answered that Village Board approval is required.
Chairman Brandtof the Zoning Board of Appeals opened discussion
for the height variation of the siren. Upon hearing no inquiries from
the Board or the audience, Chairman Brandt motioned to grant the height
variance for both sites as well as the municipal parking lot.
Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion, the motion carried
unanimously.
Mary Oberhart of 897 Wellington inquired about the height of the
siren related to coverage. Chief MacArthur responded by stating that
the siren has to be 5 feet higher than the nearest obstacle that comes
within 150 feet of the siren for full coverage.
Upon no further comments from the audience, Acting Chairman Mullen
closed the hearing at 8:55 p.m.
The Plan Commission then deliberated over the recommendation of
the site location on Biesterfield. Commissioner Ayers motioned to
approve the 1620 Gibson site and disapprove the 200 Biesterfield Road
site. Commissioner Ayers stated on behalf of the Plan Commission that
the municipal complex would be recommended as an alternative site.
Commissioner Feichter seconded the motion, the motion carried
unanimously.
