Chairman Sheldon informed the audience of the format the meeting would take.
The exhibits were those contained Mr. Pfeil's September 9, 1988 memo to the
Plan Commission titled Commonwealth Edison Properties and Petitioner's
Exhibits A and B.
Mr. Darling stated the site is south of Busch Parkway and east of Weiland
Road. It is imperative that this substation be built by June, 1989 to handle
the summer electrical demand. He reviewed Exhibits A and B stating this will
take approximately 6 months to put the station in operation not counting time
for bad weather. They hope to start construction within the next couple of
days. They will work with the Village on the landscaping issue. They have
never had, to his knowledge, a major problem with this type of installation
as far as endangering the public. The driveway going into the facility will
be gravel. Heavy equipment will be going over this driveway and some of it
will be as much as 10 times the weight of a truck. Regular pavement will not
support this weight.
Commissioner Braiman requested that the fence be 8' in height around the site
instead of the proposed 7' .
Commissioner Krug suggested a barrier be placed across the entrance to the
site off of Commerce Drive.
In response to Mr. Artic, Mr. Darling stated there will be no PCB's used for
their transformer cooling system and this station will increase the reliability of
service in the area.
Mr. Carlson was concerned with traffic going into the site.
Mr. Raysa noted that the site is 7.8 acres in total.
Chairman Sheldon closed the public hearing at 7:58 P.M.

an existing transmission substation south of Aptakisic and West of Weiland
Roads. In the future it might be necessary to install an additional
transformer within the fence line depending on future load growths. Should a
need arise to go outside the fence line they would come back to the Village
for another hearing. The bike path will be part of the annexation agreement.
