PUBLIC HEARING
ABBOTT CONTRACTORS
President Mathias opened the Public Hearing at 8:03 P.M. and swore in
George Maurides, Mike Vondra, John Zimmerman and Dean Kelley to give
testimony.
Mr. Balling noted that the second issue referred to in Mr. Pfeil's
memo to him of November 27, 1991 has been dropped; and, regarding the
first issue relating to improvements to Busch Road, the developer
will either do the work or compensate the State for doing the work.
Mr. Maurides then discussed the other three issues noted in Mr.
Pfeil's November 27, 1991 memo to Mr. Balling.
Mr. Maurides first discussed the location of the playground area,
referring to Recommended Plan #1 and also Alternate Plan #2.
8256
12/2/91
Trustee Braiman stated that he prefers the alternate plan where the
building is moved further to the south because it moves the building
further away from the residences, it is safer for the children, and
it integrates the playground with a larger park. Trustee Braiman
also questioned the angle parking; he believes there should be bumper
stops.
Trustee Kahn agrees with the comments made by Trustee Braiman; the
alternate plan is much more favorable both from safety and aesthetic
points of view.
Trustee Reid stated that the Village Board is acting like the Plan
Commission, and he does not think that it is appropriate for the
Board to be considering plans which have been reviewed and not
recommended by the Plan Commission; he is extremely uncomfortable
with the direction that this discussion is taking.
Plan Commissioner Howard commented on the discussion which took place
at the Plan Commission.
Trustee Rubin stated that the Plan Commission is an advisory body; he
would hate to see the Board go forward on a plan they are not happy
with just because the Plan Commission approved it; perhaps it should
be referred back to the Plan Commission with the Board's comments
from tonight.
Mr. Maurides stated that the location of the playground was discussed
at length at the Plan Commission.
Mr. Raysa stated that the Public Hearing tonight is on the Annexation
Agreement, which means that the public has the right to be advised of
that certain Annexation Agreement draft dated 11/26/91; the statute
further states that there can still be changes to this draft
Annexation Agreement after the Public Hearing tonight; the Public
Hearing at the Plan Commission was on the subject site and the use
proposed for that site; he does not believe a new Public Hearing
would be necessary at the Plan Commission level; his suggestion would
be to continue the Public Hearing tonight until the next time the
plan is at the Board level.
President Mathias polled the Board: "YES" indicates favor of
approving the plan (i.e. the plan approved by the Plan Commission,
Recommended Plan #1) ; "NO" indicates not approving the plan as it is:
YES: None
NO: Reid, Kahn, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks
ABSENT: Marienthal
President Mathias polled the Board: "YES" indicates favor of
referring the plan back to the Plan Commission with the
recommendation that they look at the plan preferred by the Board
(i.e. Alternate Plan #2) ; "NO" indicates opposition"
YES: Reid, Kahn, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks
NO: None
ABSENT: Marienthal
8257
12/2/91
Trustee Reid stated that, because of the difference of opinion, he
hopes that staff will cooperate fully with the developer in getting
permits, etc.
Regarding the issue of the height of the buildings, Mr. Maurides
stated that they need the 35' height if they are to keep the slope
and residential character of the building; there was no objection
from Board members to this request.
Regarding the length of the Annexation Agreement, Mr. Maurides stated
that the configuration of the building should be protection enough as
to the use of the property.
Trustee Reid stated that the Board locking that property down is
unfairly restricting the owner regarding the ultimate use of his
property.
President Mathias polled the Board: "YES" indicates favor of a
covenant running with the land in addition to the Annexation
Agreement; "NO" indicates limiting it to just the Annexation
Agreement.
YES: None
NO: Reid, Kahn, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks
ABSENT: Marienthal
Moved by Rubin, seconded by Reid, to refer this back to the Plan
Commission for a workshop consistent with the votes taken tonight,
and to continue the Public Hearing until December 16, 1931. Upon
roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Reid, Kahn, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Marienthal
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Maurides confirmed that this is not being sent back to the Plan
Commission to discuss whether or not this is an appropriate use for
the site.
A resident asked why the Board Meetings are not broadcast CABLE TV
on Cable TV; President Mathias stated that the Village is
in the process of working out the contractural
relationship with Channel 6.
President Mathias explained the Consent Agenda, stating CONSENT AGENDA
that any member of the audience or the Board could request
that an item be removed for full discussion. It was
requested that Item XI. , G. be removed from the Consent
Agenda.
