A meeting of the Board of Local Improvements of the Village of Deerfield was
called to order by the President in the Council Chambers of the Village Hall on
Tuesday,,' June 8, 1976 at 8:10 p.m. The secretary called the roll and reported that the
following were -,
Present: Bernard Forrest, President
D. Jeffrey Blumenthal
Cynthia J. Marty
Edwin B. Seidman
Daniel H. Stiehr
Vernon E. Swanson
Absent: Norma Gavin
and that a quorum was present and in attendance at the meeting. Also present were Messrs.
James Stucko, representing the Village attorney, and Norris Stilphen, manager.
Mr. Seidman moved, seconded by Mr. Blumenthal, that the minutes of the public
hearing held May 24, 1976 be approved as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
Two Adhering Resolutions were presented in connection with the improvements to be
constructed under Special Assessment No. 113. The first resolution provided for con-
struction of a sidewalk, storm and sanitary sewers and otherwise improving a portion of
Waukegan and Northwoods Road. The second resolution provided for construction of a
sanitary sewer only and incidental work. The estimated cost for construction of the
sanitary sewer is $46,426.62.
The Village engineer stated a storm sewer is not required if the sidewalk is not
constructed. Mr. Seidman said it would be a hardship to many of the property owners
on the west side of Waukegan Road to pay assessments for the sidewalk and sanitary
sewer, and the sidewalk on the east side was constructed at no charge to the property
owners. Mrs. Marty said the improvements were the same as required in subdivisions
and suggested the amount of public benefit be increased to include the installation of
sidewalks. Mr. Seidman pointed out that the cost for connection of the house to the
sanitary sewer would be from $300 to $600 in addition to the assessment.
Mrs. Lillian Marshall, 1422 Waukegan, stated it would be dangerous to put a side-
walk on the west side in front of the gas pumps to the north and that cars often miss
the curve on Waukegan Road. She said the school buses stop on the east side of Waukegan.
The President stated the Safety Council had recommended the construction of the sidewalk
after thorough study.
Mr. Seidman moved that the modifying resolution be adopted providing only for
construction of the sanitary sewer. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Discussion was had on the improvements to be installed, Mrs. Marty again proposing
that the Public Benefit be increased. Mr. Blumenthal stated he did not feel the con-
struction of the sidewalk was essential.
