Mr. Fletcher said that the plans as originally submitted showed open drainage ditches in the middle of the blocks to which he objected and the plans have now been changed so thr;t all storm water is carried by storm sewers located in the streets. Mr. Fletcher recommended that the Board approve the plans. - 1 - 8-13-64 I President Gibson suggested that Mr. Fletcherts recommendation be held until all aspects of the project have been handled and the Board can take action on all questions relating to this matter at the same meeting. jRegarding the bids received on the pump for the "Hotpoint" well, Mr. 29ajoros reported as follows: As a result of an analysis of the bids, two of the bidders were competitive. Mr. Fletcher, in making a comparison of these two bids, discovered that Layne-Western Company bid on two items which J. P. Miller Artesian Well Company did not bid on, these being 10 ft. lengths of column pipe which require twice as many couplings as the 20 ft. lengths specified and bid on by Miller, and a bid on a circuit breaker which has already been purchased for the rented pump now being used: These two items - reduce the bid price from ; 25090 to ' 23,650. An agreement with Layne-Western approved by the Board in June when the rented pump was authorized provided that the rental would be applied to the new pump and could be reduced from the price specified in the bida The rent began on June 23rd and projecting the rental to a date 60 days from this date (which is the time required to. furnish the new pump) would produce a total of .0):612 which deducted from the above- mentioned figure of X23,650 would result in a net cost of .; 20,038.00. This is x527 less than the bid of J. P. Miller Artesian Well Company. It was moved by Trustee Leiws and seconded by Trustee Dillon that the Board award the contract for the pump for the "Hotpoint" well to Layne-Western Company, Chicago, Illinois in the amount of . 23,650. 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" - Malonek. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Mr. Albert Walla, Building Inspector, gave a report of the Building Department r for the month of July 1964 showing a total of 36 permits issued for a total- construction otalconstruction value of A44,315., and total feescollected A5,030.50.

Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. i 'i Mr. Jack Pahl, Chairman of the Plan Commission, reported: 1 . The matter of a recommendation on the propped Plannin-a Commission for Cook County has been on the agenda for some time. Such a Commission was proposed by the former President of the County Board, John J . Duffy, in April 1962. However, the plan was abandoned since it would require funds in excess of 050,000 per year. It was the consenses of the Cook County Commissioners that the money could better be spent in supporting the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and also concentrating greater efforts on the Cook County Zoning Ordinance. 2. The Plan Commission recommends the annexation of property at the northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Route 83 under M-2 zoning in accordance with Article 4 of the Zoning Ordinance, this use being the highest and best use of the property in the judgment of the Plan I Commission. 2 - Reg. 8-13-64 3. Docke to. be,heard before the Cook County Zoning Board of Appea s� on August 17th, Concerns a petition for rezoning from R-4 to M- i certain land south of Oakton and west of Busse Road. The Plan Commission wishes to. donsult with Tir, Eugene Baughman, Plan Consultant, before making reooirimendationsi 4. Dockets X772 and f-773t to be heard before the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals on August 17th, refer to a petition for rezoning from B-2 to B-3 of land at the northeast Corner of Algonquin Road and Route 83 for a proposed professional inedicai office; The Plan Commission recommends that no objection be filed since this toning would be compatible with the nature and character of the area. 5. Regarding the request from Centex for rezoning from R-1 to A-2 of property on the west side of Tonne Road, it is the conclusion of the Plan Commission that this A-2 classification represents the highest and best use of the land for the following reasons: the private property immediately east of the subject area is zoned "Manufacturing", and although the subject property is separated by a 180 foot right-of-way, it is good zoning and planning to separate manufacturing and residential property by transitional zoning. It is the thinking of the Plan Commission that a mixture of housing types is adesireable characteristic to be sought by the community. 6. It is the opinion of the Plan Commission that the Village Board approve the Devon-O'Hare Industrial Park Subdivision relating to 112 acres at the southwest corner of Devon and York Roads in Du Page County, that the approval of the annexation and subdivision request would be the highest and best use of the land. To properly accommodate the proposed sub- division, the Plan Commission makes the following recommendations for consideration by the Board: a. That the Subdivision Control Ordinance be amended to include private sewer systems such as proposed in the subject subdivision. b. That the Village adopt a code such as that contained in the Metropolitan Sanitary District rules prohibiting industrial wastes from being discharged into sanitary sewer systems, c. That the Subdivision Control Ordinance be amended to prohibit open drainage ditches in M-1 and M-2 zoning districts thus establishing a fair and consistent standard for all industrial developers. 7. That the Plan Commission recommends that the plat of Unit 22 of the Centex Industrial Park be approved. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that the Board j concur in the recommendation of the Plan Commission with reference to Dockets 772 and 773 and that no objection be filed. The motion was voted upon by j acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that the Board concur in the recommendation of the Plan Commission with reference to Unit 22 i of the Centex Industrial Park. i The foregoing motion was withdrawn with the consent of the second when it was learned that the plat in question is the preliminary and does not require Village Board approval. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board concur in the recommendation of the Plan Commission on the annexation of prooerty at the northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Route 83 and direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance of annexation on this land. 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" - Malonek. whereupon the President declared the motion carried. - 3 - Reg. 8-13-64 i I I I During the discussion on Docket 757 (item #3 above) Attorney Hofert suggested that the Plan Commission appear at the hearing and request the Cook County Zoning Board to grant a period of 15 days in which to file objections. Meanwhile, Mr. Baughman can be consulted and an objection may or may not be filed at the direction of the Village Board. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that the Board concur in the recommendation of the Plan Commission on Docket 757. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Mr. William McCarthy gave a report of the Playground and Recreation Board on the current summer recreation program and some of the problems they have encountered in the maintenance of the Village parks. The Clerk reported receipt of the following: 1. Petition dated August 13, 1964 from William C. McLennan & Co., Agent for the following: La3alle National Bank as Trustee under Trust #29513; Donald M.

Knaack, Violet Burmeistar, John Burmeister, J. E. Kostur, Sr. This petition is for annexation_ of approxi- mately 112 acres of land at the southwest corner of Devon and York Roads, DuPage County, such annexation being contingent on (1) that the prooert•y be zoned M-2 Heavy Industry; (2) that Elk Grove Village will permit property and adequate water facilities and connection thereof, presently located on the north side of Devon Avenue and immediately north or this p"o=t�y; (3) the acceptance by Elk Grove Village of a plat of sub- division to be submitted; (4; acceptance by Elk Grove Village of surface and underground improvement designs to be submitted by their engineers. A hearing (Case 63-5) was held on April 23, 1963 on the easterly 75 `cras of this property, however, it was Attorney Hofert's opinion that another hearing be held on the entire 112 acres. The above was referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals. 2. A petition dated August 13, 1964 from Jack N. Pritzker by Louis Ringold for approval of a proposed plat of subdivision for Centex Industrial Park Unit 17. This petition, with accompanying plats (rr4176-23) was referred to the Plan Commission for a recommendation. 3.

Trustee Mullen stated that he will donate his time for the electrical design work in connection with the _wiring for the new pump for the "Hotpoint" iaell. Trustee Lewis stated that the following are recommended changes to the Municipal Code reflecting the thinking of the Judiciary Committee concerning swirnninC pool regulations: 1. Section 23.602 of the Municipal Code to read as follows: "Tire torm "swimming pool" is hereby defined as a receptacle for water, o?, an artificial pool of water having a depth at any point of more than two feet, intended for the purpose of immersion or partial immersion I therein of human beings, and including all appurtenant equipment constructed,_installed_and maintained in or above the ground_outside the building. (The wo_ts underlined are the suggested additions to existing regulations.) I 2. Section 23.610 should be amended by changing the height of the fence around the pool from five feet to four feet. i -4- Reg. 8-13-64 i I 3. Section 23.617 of the Municipal Code to read as follows: " (a) All electrical installations provided for, installed, and used in conjunction with private residential swimming pools, shall be in conformance with the latest National _Electrical—Code". (The suggested change here is that the underlined words would replace the existing wording which reads "ordinances regulating electrical installations. ) 4. Section 23.619 to read: "The building inspector and health_officer periodically shall inspect all swimming pools to determine whether or / not the provisions of the ordinances regarding health, sanitation and safety applicable thereto are being complied with." (The change suggested herein is underlined.) Trustee Lewis stated that it is also his recommendation that use of private swimming pools be restricted between the hours of 11 P.M. and 6 A,M. because by the nature of the use of the pool it can be disturbing to neighboring homeowners. A lengthy discussion followed on the regulations, both existing and suggested, governing swimming pools. Trustee Lewis' report will be used as the basis of a tentative ordinance to be distributed to the Board for further discussion and consideration. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board autho- rize the purchase of a recording and loud speaking system consisting of the following: 1 recorder, two speakers, three microphones, from Ampex, Inc. at a cost of $500.00.
