At a minimum, the Village of Elk Grove Village would receive a minimum of $3,600 per year in sales tax. James Pappas was called as a witness for the petitioner. He is an owner of six restaurants in the area. A family-type restaurant is very successful and would cater well to residents of the Industrial Park.

Unique to the development will be fruit tree plantings . Also presented was a lighting plan for the development. The developer will conform substantial to subdivision control regulations except that 14' wooden poles , rather than 15' wooden poles , will be used. Maximum height of the buildings will be 28' . There is no area on the developer's property where the highest grade will be greater than 3' above the lowest point on Oregon Trail . There is a portion of Oregon Trail which is 17" higher than the grade on Oregon Trail (at foundation level) . Hamilton suggests that the dry detention pond should have drain tile and crushed rock. Standards for this are found in the U.S.G.A. standards . The standards will adequately drain the property and aid in the prevention of erosion. In addition, six inches of topsoil should be put back on the property to aid in the retention of water. Rettenbacher was requested to contact the lighting firm for the developer and compare it to the Subdivision Control Ordinance provisions . Wesley asked if berms will be included in the landscaping. John Martin replied that berms are to be provided possibly near the public roadway areas. The Engineer will be requested to have the sewage flows determined for the special meeting and Rettenbacher's report on lighting. The meeting adjourned at 12 :00 midnight.
