Mr. Phil Kupritz was present with Mr. Michael Batler, Mr. Lieberman' s
attorney. Mr. Stan Lieberman was in an accident and was unable to
attend the meeting.
Mr. Kupritz summarized the proposal presented at the workshop on
May 9, 1973. He distributed the Plan with the changes requested
last week. This is Exhibit B. He also distributed a new Annexa-
tion Agreement.
Mr. Batler said on Page 2, paragraph 5, he has a question regarding
the offset sewers expense since they are a small project; also the
tap-on fees and the water main.
L Commissioner Gamm questioned Page 6, paragraph 19, regarding the
recouping of oversizing costs with a 6% interest. This would be
paid by the Village if Lieberman did not receive this money from
other projects by May 16, 1978. Commissioner Gamm said he was sure
the Village would not go along with this.
Mr. Batler said they would like to set up a Public Hearing for June
6. The Plan Commission members said they would prefer to put them
on the agenda for the Workshop Session next week and then they
would need an additional 15 days to publish for the Hearing. Mr.
Batler and Kupritz agreed with this.
Commissioner Mendenhall said he does not like the idea of children
having to cross the parking lot by themselves and suggested the
sidewalk 3 put in across the front of the property. He said the
children should not be forced to ride through the parking lot be-
hind cars backing out nor should they be forced to ride on Dundee
Road. Commissioner Haarr said he did not agree regarding bicycles
because they should not be riding their bikes on the sidewalks, but
he does agree with the pedestrian traffic. The idewalk on the
west end of the property was put next to " � n and it was
suggested to be put next to the burg and, perhaps, even bermed

to hide it from Dundee Road so you will see green space when driv-
ing by. Mr. Kupritz agreed to this.
Mr. Kupritz said there will be a 6-foot fence and screening be-
tween their property and the residences.
Mr. Kupritz said they have provided one parking space for every
275 square feet.
Commissioner VanEngen asked about water retention. Mr. Kupritz
said that in order to connect to the storm sewer along Dundee Road,
you have to calculate the runoff very carefully.
Commissioner Haarr asked about a Final Plan on the original annexa-
tion. He added that he would like to wait until the second phase
is approved and make a total plat on both parcels together. Mr.
Kupritz said he would prefer this also, but Mr. Lieberman wants
to break ground in July and this would be impossible if the first
phase was not approved right away. He said he would talk to Mr.
Lieberman about this.
Commissioner Gamm asked how they are doing on the Engineering
Drawings. Mr. Kupritz said the Engineer has started on them and
has talked to Mr. Seaberg. Commissioner Haarr asked them to have
all of this ready for the Hearing, which would expedite the pro-
ceedings. Then maybe they could get both parcels through the Plan
Commission and the Village Board much faster.
Commissioner Mendenhall said he would much rather see this property
come in as a complete package to insure this would be built the way
they say it will. Mr. Kupritz said, even if it all comes in on
one plat, we will be building it in two phases.
Commissioner Keister made the motion the meeting be adjourned at
9 :25 P.M. Commissioner Mendenhall seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously.
