Mr. Michala reported that another zoning hearing (re north of Higgins Road)

same is being deferred, pending receipt of the court reporter's transcript.
Mr. Michala reported that the three hearings conducted by the County Zoning
Board of Appeals on March 8 involved two cases outside of the 12 mile juris-
diction radius of Elk Grove Village and one case which the Village Zoning
Board determined would not affect the residents of Elk Grove Village.

Whereupon Mr. Gibson refuted two statements made in the document in question,
as follows: (1) Mr. Gibson has letters of testimony that the Plan Commis-
sion did procure legal and engineering counsel in connection with the draft-
ing of the Sub-Division Control- Ordinance; (2) Mr. Gibson has certified
copies of hearings (re Bolger case) held on 12/21/59 and 2/9/60 and the
executive meeting of the Zoning Board held on 2/9/60, evidencing the fact
that he was not in attendance, nor did he participate in any of these gather-
ings. Trustees Dillon and Smith then stated they would like to refute a
statement made in a prior document circulated within the Village (with
reference to donation of public lands provided for under the Sub-Division
Control Ordinance) and produced a plat of Section 10 of the Village of Elk
Grove Village in evidence thereof. President Hodlmair then called the dis-
cussion out of order and called for a closing thereof.
Mr. Hodlmair then requested that Messrs. Gibson and H. Scharringhausen consent
to work on the Plan Commission, without a firm annointment, until such ap-
pointments can be effected. Mr. Gibson indicated his willingness to do so.
Engineer Edward Fletcher reported having inspected the drainage swales at
1016 and 1046 Warwick and found that there is need for correction at such
locations. This matter has been referred to Centex, who are awaiting good
weather to do the necessary work.
Engineer Fletcher reported that Public Service Company has presented two
plans for lighting Centex Industrial Park - as follows:
1. 48 lights spaced at 630-700' intervals = 0.38 each per month
0450.18); annual cost of $5,402.16
2. 72 lights spaced at 450' intervals=4'x8.38 each per month 0603.36);
annual cost of $7,240.32
Note: Does not include the cost of trenching and backfilling,
which would be an additional X8,000.410,000.
Engineer Fletcher reported that if these lights were installed by the Village,
the annual power charge would be $27.00 per light, rude.- 1/3 of the charge if
Public Service Company does the installation work. It uD uld then be the
responsibility of the Village to maintain them; whereas Public Service's
charge for power - including installation and maintenance - would be about
0 )0.00 per light annually. Engineer Fletcher estimated the following costs,
if the work is installed by the Village: ##1 = 02,000.; #i2 = X105,000.
This information was submitted to the special committee for study.
It was then agreed that the Special Committee would make an appointment to
meet with the industaial park representatives to work out the details of the
plans end to discuss means of financing such a project, it being understood
that customarily such costs are borne mainly by those benefiting from such
improvements, without taxing all residents.
I
Engineer Fletcher reported having checked the streets north of Landmeier
Road regarding maintenance requirements for 1961 and Gave the following
E--t=nated ecst_:
1. Cover Wildwood Road from Higgins to Oakton with a minimum
of 1" of asphalt from curb to curb - $7500.00
2. Cover the Higgins Road frontage road with 1" of asphalt

Trustee Young reported that in addition to this work, the area of Oak and
Laurel Streets, previously patched, will need additional work soon. Also,
Trustee Young recommended that the Board make a request for an additional
$500. for material supplies with which to patch the streets.
i
It was moved by Trustee Young and seconded by Trustee Scharring-
hausen that the Village Engineer be authorized to draft the necessary

for the Tonne Road street lighting had not yet been settled, but made ar-
rangements to discuss same with President Hodlmair within the week. President
Hodlmair expressed his appreciation to Messrs. Fletcher and Clifford for the
installation of the street light at Touhy and Landmeier Roads.
Mr. Evan Stebbins, Real Estate Manager of Centex Construction Company, Inc.,
emphasized to the Board the importance of a decision on the zoning of
property north of Higgins Road. Mr. Stebbins stated that Mr. Marshall
Bennett has expressed his willingness to state specifically what types of
industry his firm would not permit in this area. It was the concensus of
opinion that the zoning ordinance should be amended to define the types
of businesses which would not be allowed in each zoning classification.
At this time the existence of an engineering problem with regard to the
proposed fence along PitFfns Road was discussed; it was decided that the Board
would consult with the engineer relative to this prior to the next meeting.
Mrs. Rice, Higgins Road resident, was recognized by the Board and reported
having explored the matter of planting trees to provide beauty and protection
to the Residents from the Higgins Road area. Mrs. Rice stated the residents
estimated a need for 35 - 40 trees (8' - 101 ) cost for which is approximately
$10. per tree not planted. Mrs. Rice also stated that the residents have
indicated their willingness to cooperate in this project, as they did in
the planting of the Honeysuckle bushes along Higgins. President Hcdlmair
requested that Trustee Young continue working with Mrs. Rice toward a solution.
Attorney Hofert reported having received a report from Special Attorney Her-
bert R. Stoffels relative to the Bolger case, as fellows:
"Re: John A. Bolger vs. Village of Elk Grove, March 27, 1961
Circuit Court No. 60 C 11807
Gentlemen: You have been apprised of the fact that a Decree was entered
in the above cause in conformity with the direction which you gave me in
your special meeting March 9, 1961. A copy of the consent decree as en-
tered has been delivered to your attorney, Mr. Hofert. I have no addi-
tional copies; and thereofore, I suggest that if others are required, you
have it photostated. /P/ Attached to the Amended Complaint referred
to in the Decree is a Plot Plan of the proposed shopping center, together
with a black and white photo of the shopping center as proposed. It has
been mutually understood that the dome in the center area of the structure
will require redesigning. /P/ I enclose herewith a copy of the Plot Plan
(Exhibit B) and two copies of the proposed shopping center in color, as
conceived by Cone and Dornbusch, and as prepared in conformity with the
Decree. These documents should be carefully preserved for future refer-
ence; and when Mr. Bolger requests a building permit, reference should be
made both to the Decree and to these two exhibits. /P/ Mr. Hofert has
presented the proposed ordinance prepared by him; and I consider it to
be a good piece of legislative drafting, embodying all that is required
to conform to the Decree. /P/ I also enclose my bill for services
rendered, and have prepared the same in accordance with previous under-
standings, at the hourly rate of $30.00 per hour. This was specified in
my letter of November 1, 1960. I have rounded out the amount by reducing
it somewhat. /P/ The matters thus assigned to me have been completed.
It has been gratifying to serve you. Very truly yours, /s/ Herbert R.
Stoffels."
Copies of the bill submitted by Mr. Stoffels were submitted to the Finance
and Juliciary Committees for study.

CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF DEVON AVENUE AND TONNE
ROAD IN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS."
It was moved by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that
the Board waive the first reading rule with respect to the ordinance just
presented. The President asked that the roll be called on the motion and
upon the roll being called the following Trustees voted "AYE:" Carroll,
Dillon, Hartshorn, Scharringhausen, Smith, Young; "NAY:" None. whereupon

It was moved by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that
Ordinance No. 164, entitled "AN C.DINAATCE REZONING CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED
ON THE NORTHtaEST CORNER OF DEVON AVENUE AND TONNE ROAD IN THE VILLAGE OF

President Hodlmair emphasized the importance of this rezoning being handled
in the strong manner it was, and Trustee Young asked Attorney Hofert if there
may be a different method of attaining the aesired results. Attom ey Hofert
i suggested that a comprehensive study be made of the zoning ordinance, by a
qualified and competent zoning attorney, and that the ordinance then be
revised to break down zoning classifications to a greater degree than they
are at present; especially in view of the continuing growth of theVillage
since the adoption of the an ing ordinance. Attorney Hofert estimated that
this project, including a hearing, would take a minimum of six months.
Attorney Hofert also clarified that the entering of the decree in this
case does not affect the necessity of the construction of the proposed
shopping center complying with the Village's building code.
I
Attorney Hofert reported having checked into the matter of residents blocking
the drainage swales at the rear of their lots and outlined the Village's
position thusly: Unless the property involved is Village property, it is
up to the private citizens affected to prosecute in the courts, or to go to
jthe Great Northern Developmeht Co., which has reserved the Swale for drainage
purposes. If the Village-owned property is affected by such drainage block,
or if a stagnant pool of water results, the Village can (1) abate the
block; (2) charge the owner of the property with creating a nuisance; (3)
go to the Great Northern Development Co.
Attorney Hofert reported that he has made several attempts to meet with the
County officials relative to the Pioneer Trust case, but has not yet been
able to get an appointment.
Trustee Smith requested that Attorney Hofert submit z written opinion as to
whether or not the Village can spend corporate funds for insurance for
Village employees, and Attorney Hofert said he would comply.
