b. On the basis of my consultation with Attorney Hofert,
an interim appointment to the vacancy created by Mr.
Malonek's resignation be made.
c. A Special Election be held to fill the unexpired portion
of Mr. Malonek's term, such election to be held
simultaneously with the next general Village election on

accept Mr. Malonek's resignation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
In response to Trustee Dillon's question, Attorney Hofert stated that in filing
a petition for the April 1965 election, each Trustee candidate would have to
declare for which office he was running, either one of the three regular four
year term vacancies or the vacancy created by Mr. Malonek' s resignation which
would be a two year term.
Mr. Hofert also stated that the vacancy created by Mr. Malonek's resignation
may be filled in one of two ways: (1 ) hold a Special Election at this time;
or (2) the Board may make an interim appointment to expire in April 1965 and
the vacancy then be filled by election at the regular Trustees' election.
It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Keith that the Board
not call a special election, that the vacancy be filled by appointment by the
Board for a 6 month period.
Trustee Zettek pointed out that it may be that the same candidates who will
file for the vacant four-year terms will also file for the unexpired term of
Mr. Malonek and that it could result in an unpopular candidate in the fourth
position.

Attorney Hofert stated he was not prepared at this time to answer all the
technical questions involved.
It was moved by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Dillon that the foregoing

Federal Aviation Agency was required. Mr. Fletcher said that he submitted
a sketch of the proposed light to the Federal.Aviation Agency and they notified.
him that it -Vtill be permitted but must be shielded so it will not shine in the
direction-of .the O'Hare Airport control tower, and it must not exceed a maximum
height of 25. feet,

(residential) from Centex Construction Company, Inc. He said that the Village
now has a 24" sanitary sewer line north of Essex Road which runs to the lift
station. Centex proposes to reduce the sewer to 15" from E.ssex Road, south on
Carlisle Avenue to Devon Avenue. and 12" along Devon Avenue to a point west of
Arlington Heights Road to serve about 80 acres west of Arlington Heights Road,
south of Biesterfield Road, north of Devon Avenue and east of Route 53. Mr.
Fletcher stated that he recommends ( on the basis of future growth) a 24" line
running from Essex to Devon and a 21 " line west along Devon, and he said that
Centex feels the additional cost (.: 10,000 estimated by Mr. Fletcher) of the
larger size sewer lines should be borne by the Village.
Following discussion by the Board, the matter was referred to Mr. Fletcher
for further study as to the size required to serve what land Centex owns, the
growth potential and its requirements, and the costs of the sewer line in
relation to the additional size required for lands other than those owned by Centex.
Trustee Keith read a monthly operating and maintenance report from the (later& Sewer
Department for the month of September 1964.

VILLAGE ADMI1VISTRATOR�S REPORT
OCTOBER 22, 1964
1. The President of Midway Industrial Painting Company has agreed to trait
until the spring of 1965 to commence work on his painting contract for
the interior of the 1,000,000 gallon grater reservoir at pump house #2.
The recent cold heather has confirmed the Board's judgement in asking
for the delay.
2. I have conferred with representatives of the State Highway Department,
Cool: County Highway Department, and other local municipalities concern-
ing the four identical low salt bids received last week. All bids
appear to be equal in terms of chemical treatment to prevent caking,
screening before loading and delay in delivery . The only difference,
although very small, appears to be a 1% greater content of sodium
chloride purity in the salt shipped from Louisiana mines. I therefore
recommend the contract for bulk salt be awarded to Cargill Incorporated.
i
3. Mr. Clementi estimates that $200 extra labor was required to completely
drain the vrater reservoir caused by the absence of a sump pit. I have
solicited estimates from ti-ro companies to install one. The Palatine
Welding and Engineering Company quoted $200 for one 3 feet square and 2
feet deep and the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company wants about the same
for a dish type 2 feet in diameter and about 9 inches deep. The Palatine
j firm is reputable, experienced, offers a full guarantee for the work
and appears to give us the most for our money. Since we will empty the
tank again next spring and every year thereafter, the sump will pay for
itself many times over.
4. Honey has been appropriated and budgeted for the purchase of two auto-
matic rock salt spreaders. i,Ir. Andrei-is has investigated many different
types and prefers for our use the model HDWS 4 clink Ice Control Spreader.
I recommend we advertise for bids next week and open them on November
5 for their purchase.
5. I have completed a study of the present Village Sign Ordinance and re-
quest a meeting of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee neva
week to discuss the recommended changes before submission to the Board
for action.
Respectfully submitted,
George L. 14ajoros

Air. Majoros gave a brief report on the progress of the construction of well
t-n Biesterfield Road, west of Arlington Heights oad.
Mr. Majoros presented the Accounts Payable Warrant and read those bills in
amounts over 4100.00 (Itemization will be on file in the Clerk's office. )
It was moved by Trustee Mullen and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the- Board
authorize the disbursement of 01243-95 from the Water and .Sewer Department
Operating Account in payment of the ten invoices on the Warrant, and the
disbursement of 41 ,354.43 from the General Corporate Account in payment of the
nine invoices on the Warrant. The President directed the Clerk to call the
roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following Trustees
answered "AYE" - Dillon; .Keith, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT"-
none. Whereupon the President declared the motion cairiedi
Mr. Tom Garrity, Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals &ve the following
report:
1 . The Zoning Board took additional testimony on October' 20th as
concerned with the petition for A-27zoning along Tonne Road for
construction of townhouses. A recommendation is not ready at this date.
2. The proposed ordinance providing that the PTari" Commission be designated
as the ZgniriA Commission has been heard and the Zoning Board has had
preliminary discussions regarding this question but they have not
firmed up their thinking.
3. The amendment to the zoning ordinance regarding parking. between
the building- and-.street *in'-the-industrial area, and the rezoning
petition for R!�3. zdrnan of abpr6ximately_ 7 acres north and east of
the intersection of Devon Avenue -and Arlington Heights Road were just
heard by the Zoning Board an October 20th and a recommendation is not
ready at this tifnei
4. Docket 64-21 , a hearing involving the Pre-annexation-rezoning of land
located at the southwest corner of Devon Avenue and Elmhurst Road
from R-1 to M-2,was heard September 15, 1964. The Zoning Board
recommended the rezoning of the land as requested on the basis that
it is the highest and best use of the land.
5. Docket 64-25, a petition by Mr. Grant E. Galloway, Jr., 960 Carswell,
Elk Grove Village, for a variation from the Zoning Ordinance of 2.6
feet in side yadd to permit him to construct an addition to an
existing garage, was heard on October 20, 1964. The Zoning Board
found that because of the unusual shape of Mr. Galloway's property,
a practical difficulty would accrue to Fir. Galloway if the variation
were not granted, whereupon the Zoning Board granted said variation.
Trustee Dillon questioned Mr. Garrity as to when the Board might expect to receive
a recommendation on Items Nos. 1 and 2 in the foregoing report. Mr. Garrity
stated that the Zoning Board heard an additional witness' testimony at the
October *20th hearing on the A-2 zoning and will probably not be ready with a
recommendation until the transcript of the hearing is received. As to Item No. 2,
Mr. Garrity stated that this represents a momentous change in the Zoning Ordinance
and concept of zoning, and it is felt that all seven members of the Zoning Board
should be involved in the discussion preceding a recommendation, and Air. 1,icGrenera
has not recuperated (from a recent automobile accident) to a point where he can
participate in such a discussion.
Following a brief discussion, it was moved by Trustee Zettek that the Zoning Board
have a report to the Village Board by the next meeting on the proposed ordinance
designating the Plan Commission as the Zoning Commission. This motion failed for
lack of a second.

zoning request of approximately 141 acres at the northwest corner
of Devon Avenue and Arlington Heights Road. The nature and character
of this area is in keeping with previous development of the Village,
and the Plan Commission recommends that the subject property be
rezoned from R-1 to R-3. The Plan Commission suggests that all of
the property immediately to the east of the subject property be zoned
R-3. The southeast corner of Arlington Heights Road and Devon Avenue
is zoned B-2 for a gasoline service station and aside from that B-2
area, the remainder is zoned R-2 under the DuPage County zoning

from B-1 to R-3 of approximately 7 acres lying in a northerly and
easterly direction from the intersection of Arlington Heights Road

Board approve the rezoning request since it is in keeping with the
present nature and character of the surrounding area. The Plan
Commission suggests to the Village Board that before they approve
the rezoning request, negotiation be entered into with the petitioner
to allocate a park area site to accomodate sections 11 and 12. They

suggest it might be well to rezone all of the B-1 property on this corner to

hearing held on October 20th, 1964.
