Report- Glenview,.R:.',R. The manager read a report on commuter parking
Station Parkii►g at the Glenview Railroad station. The Viilage
has improved the parking area under a lease
s agreement whereby the Village pays the cost for the improvement of the area,
the Village being allowed to charge off the $2,400 per year rental against the
development costs until amortized. Thereafter the railroad will get 30 per cent
of the revenue, with a minimum guarantee of $2,400 per year. Parking decals
are sold at $15,00 for three months, however the railroad would prefer metered
parking for increased revenue. Costs for the development exceeded the estimate
and ly years will be required for amortization.
The Milwaukee Railroad has been working on a lease for the Deerfield
station parking lot, but it has not yet been submitted. After a brief discussion,
it was the consensus of the Board that it be left to the railroad to present a
plan. The manager stated he had asked the railroad to cooperate in the
installation of a minimal surface with marked stalls for greater efficiency
but the railroad was unwilling.

Letter - Verley Co. Re: A letter was received from Albert Verley &
Malabates Company regarding the reodorants supplied
by the company for use at the sewage treat-
ment plant. The letter stated that to the best of their knowledge and the
knowledge of the best scientific authorities in the industry, the products
are safe for use as recommended.
A brief discussion was had on the meeting called by Representative
John Kleine on September 7, 1967 to discuss pollution problems. President
Finney thanked Trustees Craig and Schleicher for the press release they
had prepared, outlining steps taken by the Village to control odors at the
sewage treatment plant and the elimination of storm water from the santiary
sewer system.
Resolution Opposing 65'Sign Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee
Cook County (R- 67 -16) Schleicher, that a resolution be adopted
opposing the granting of a special use
permit for erecti,o6<<of a sign 65 feet in height at the wouthwest corner of
Lake -Cook Road and Skokie Highway in Cook County, certified copies of said
resolution to be filed with the Cook County Zoning Board, the Board of
Commissioners of Cook County, and the County Clerk of Cook County.
Motion carried unanimously.
Reports The manager reported that Kitchens of
Sara Lee would provide a standby water
service from the company's well if the Village is interested. He stated
that such a service would be useful in the event of a complete failure of
Highland Park's water facilities, which is unlikely, and pointed out that
the Village would have a water storage capacity of three million.gallons
in about a year. It was the consensus -_ thbt the loss of revenue from
Sara Lee under such a standby agreement far outweighed any possible advantage.

certification by the surveyor that all lots
met-the area requirements of the Zoning ordinance and were 75 feet in width
at the building line. Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that

Reports - Communications The manager reported that Mr. Robert Bowen,
Village building commissioner-,would attend
the American Public Works Association convention in Boston the first week in
October.
President Finney reported he had received a letter from Representative
Kleine, expressing approciation for the cooperation he had received on the
September 7th meeting to discuss pollution problems. Mr. Kleine has talked
to the State Sanitary Water Board regarding State or Federal funds which may
be available for odor reduction. Copies of the letter will be sent to the Board.
Letters sent by the zoning officer to property owners for the abatement of
the storage of junked automobiles were discussed. The manager suggested that
copies of the letters be sent to the complainants. In one case, the prosecuting
attorney for the Village, Mr. Harold Winer, has sent a seven day notice for
removal. If compliance is not obtained, a summons will be issued on the
violation.
lf�
�+ Mr. Richard Gilbert, a member of the Drainage Commission of Union Drainage
Liz District No. 1, reported he had received a complaint from a resident of King's
Cove Subdivision. Investigation disclosed that the effluent from septicc: tanks
U from three residences in Highland Park flowed across the complainants' property.
He had advised the Deerfield resident to check with the Village. Mr. Bowen
stated he had received a telephonecall about the matter, which he had referred to
the Lake County Health Department. He stated the solution to the problem was
installation of a sanitary sewer to serve the Highland Park residences. Trustee
Craig suggested that Highland Park be notified that Deerfield is concerned about
the problem, and asked that the Bce rd be kept informed.
Trustee Kelm reported that a number of residents had talked with him about
the problem of boat and trailer storage on residential property, and a petition
may be presented to the Board asking for action to prohibit such storage. The
manager stated that boats and trailers were a usual part of modern society, and
to his knowledge, no:--municipality had restricted such storage. Trustee Craig
stated that it did not seem unreasonable to permit summer storage if stored in
an orderly manner and a certain distance from lot lines, but winter storage was
questionable in his opinion..
The building commissioner stated that a trailer magazine had published
a proposed ordinance regarding the storage of trailers, and he will provide
copies for the Board. Trustee Forrest asked that the parking of trucks in
residential districts be checked.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee Forrest, seconded
by Trustee Schleicher, the meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
