Public Hearing - Docket 74-5 - Finegan's Subdivision
The first order of business was a Public Hearing called to
consider the petition of Byron Finegan, representing Gerald DeBruyne,
for a zoning boundary adjustment of Finegan's Subdivision Units No. 2
and No. 3 (Mayfair Industrial Park) . The petitioner stated that the
request was being made to comply with the Village's policy of said
lot lines being perpendicular to abutting streets. Mr. Finegan stated
that there would result from this boundary adjustment an even exchange
of commercial and industrial zoned property. There being no questions
from the Plan Commission members , the Public Hearing was adjourned at
8:21 P.M.
Following a short recess , the meeting reconvened with
Commissioners Joseph Cimino and William Wesley in attendance. It was
moved by Killion, seconded by Hamilton that the zoning boundary adjust-
ment and plat for Finegan's Subdivision Units No. 2 and No. 3 be approved.
All members in attendance voted aye.
P.U.D-. Homeowner's Association - Storage Garage
Consideration was given to a request from the Elk Grove Estates
Homeowner's Association for a 22' x 24' storage garage to be located
in the area of the Townhouses for storage of maintenance tools and
equipment. Such request constitutes a minor change to the Planned
Unit Development plat and was a part of the original Public Hearing
on the P.U.D. It was moved by Grice, seconded by Killion that the
request be approved provided the shed be located a minimum of 25'
from the Right of Way of Cosman Road and that said building be of

Flood Control Committee Report
Chairman McGrenera then turned the meeting over to Commissioner
Cimino, Chairman of the Flood Control Committee, who introduced members
of his Committee and their consultant, William Lindley. Commissioner
Cimino commented that the Committee was interested in briefly explaining
the major recommendations in their proposed Flood Control Ordinance and
answer any questions relating thereto. Mr. Lindley gave a general
overview of the ordinance stating that it provides essential guidelines
to control/"slow down" storm water runoff. He stated that the Metropolitan
Sanitary District ordinance has certain limitations , in particular the
rate at which storm water is released, which this new ordinance corrects .
The proposed ordinance would be more restrictive and would establish a
uniform, constant "value" for storm water runoff. Each parcel of land,
regardless of size, will be required to provide for compensitory storage.
There was expressed by members of the Commission a concern
that the proposed ordinance was too complex to be understood by the
layman. Mr. Lindley responded that there existed in the ordinance a
number of guidelines germane to Elk Grove Village which, although
complicated, are nevertheless needed. He stated that everyone should
have the same rules to live by and the concept proposed here allowed
for that uniform application. The old theory of "getting rid of• storm
water as soon as possible" is outmoded and should/must be replaced
with the new approach "store storm water wherever possible". It is
Mr. Lindley's contention that , for the developer, the most inexpensive
method to control storm water is on-site compensatory storage, the
closest point to where it impacts with the earth.
Two developers were represented at the meeting and, along
with members of the Plan Commission, carried on a question and answer
session with the Flood Control Committee. Commissioner Cimino concluded
the discussion period by stating that the Committee recognized that
refinement of the ordinance was needed prior to recommending it be
implemented. Subsequent meeting dates of the Committee will be announced
later.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned
at 11 :45 P.M.
