Fund) President Clayton introduced Valerie Lubecke, President of the SCHOOL DIST. District 96 School Board, who then introduced the Board members 96 (Planning present: Mark Spivik, Ellen Gordon, Marty Wolf, Iry Shaneberg, Policy Dis- and Barbara Cohen. Also present was Dr. David Willard, Super- cussion) intendent of School District 96. Dr. Willard then reviewed his letter to Mr. Balling of November 13, 1985, and a study dated December 4, 1985. Mrs. Lubecke stated that the School Board is concerned that they would be receiving 300+ children from the proposed Fiore develop- ment, and a deficit would be created which would necessitate cutting district programs and increasing class sizes. Mr. Spivik commented on the physical capacity of School District 96, and the possible changing of school boundaries. At the request of President Clayton, Mr. Zale explained his proposal regarding the change in school district boundaries, stating that figures submitted by Barton Ashman suggest that moving 152 single- family homes in the southern end of the development from District 96 to District 102 would bring District 96 from a $200,000 negative impact to a $100,000 positive impact, while District 102 would go from a $200,000 positive impact to a $100,000 positive impact. 6769 12/10/85 Trustee Marienthal asked if Dr. Willard had used the most current plan in getting the figures which he used; Mr. Willard had used the most current plan. Trustee Marienthal noted that the Village Board does have the concerns of the School Board in mind. President Clayton noted that the current Village Board has asked for more single-family homes, and larger lots, which this development would create, and therefore, there is a problem created for the school district. In answer to a question from Trustee O'Reilly, Mr. Balling and Dr. Willard stated that they are both comfortable with the figures generated by Barton Ashman; further discussion followed on the various charts submitted by Dr. Willard. Trustee Glover asked the School Board what they would like to see developed on this land. Mrs. Lubecke stated that they would like to see commercial and light industrial. Mr. Spivik stated that he personally thinks the Village is wasting an excellent thoroughfare by not putting light industrial on Route 22. Trustee Glover stated that the industrial development which the School Board would like to see would require a good transportation system, which does not exist in this area. Mr. Jerry Salzman from Barton Ashman explained their report regarding children being sent to public school versus private school. Trustee Marienthal commented that it is unrealistic to believe that this land would sit vacant for another 10 years. President Clayton pointed out that industrial development would have approximately four times the impact on the roads that the proposed development would have. In answer to a question from President Clayton, Dr. Willard stated that another school as a result of this development is a consideration; he stated that they intend to discuss this development at their next meeting and take a position at that time. Dr. Willard stated that they will be slightly over capacity with the proposed development. In answer to a question from Trustee O'Reilly, Dr. Willard stated that the census figures are reasonably accurate. There was also further discussion on the percentage of children who attend parochial schools. Trustee Glover urged School Board members, as well as residents, to follow the planning of the Village, and give their input to the staff and the Commissions. Trustee Glover also urged the School Board to work with other communities in the district in expanding the tax base. Ellen Gordon stated that it is the intention of the School Board to inform the Village Board of the severe financial impact that the proposed development will have on the school district. 6770 12/10/85 Mrs. Lubecke asked: "If the negative impact to the school district is as great as predicted, would that be enough for the Village Board to deny consideration of such a development?" President Clayton stated that that would have to be answered individually by each Board member; she stated that the effect on the school district is of great concern to each Board member. Trustee O'Reilly stated that she does not believe that there will be a positive impact for the Park District from the proposed development. Mr. Saltzman stated that he will provide Trustee O'Reilly with a copy of the figures showing a positive impact for the Park District. A resident of School District 102 stated that she believes the development of the proposed project should be slowed down. President Clayton thanked the School Board for their input, and Mrs. Lubecke thanked the Village Board for the opportunity to present their views. Moved by Marienthal, seconded by Reid, to adjourn the meeting. ADJOURNMENT Upon voice vote, the motion was unsnimously declared carried. The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 P.M. r ' ,TicT . � Janet Pr. Sirabian, Village Clerk APPROVED BY ME THIS 6 DAY OF , 1986.
