Discussion -Date of In connection with action to be taken on
Referendum the ordinance calling a special election
on the question of acquisition of property
including the National Brick Company and the issuanoe of up to $1,300,000
bonds, President Finney stated the date of January 13, 1968 for the referendum
had been questioned as to why the Board has moved to rapidly to schedule the
election in so short a time. He stated the question had been before the
Village for many years on the use of the brickyard property for recreation
and open space, and with an option on the property, the voters must decide
on it s ultimate use. Trustee Forrest stated he strongly favored the ac-
qui si tion .of the property by the Village:, but urged a delay of three or four
weeks in the date of the election to permit dissemination of information to
the voters and more time for discussion.
Several members stated it was their opinion that postponement of the
election was unnecessary inasmuch as meetings could be arranged prior to the
January 13th date to discuss the referendum with interested voters.
Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the date
of the special election in the proposed ordinance be changed to February 3,
1968, which date would permit canvassing the returns at the regular meeting
of the Board. The motion failed to carry by the following vote:
Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Schleicher (3)

Wednesday, January 3, and Monday, January 8, 1968. After a discussion on the
Board's role in presenting the referendum to the voters, it was the consensus
that the Board collectively should be confined to statements of facts, but
individually, each member may state his opinion fully and freely. President
Finney asked for the cooperation of the press in publicizing and reporting the
discussion meetings.
Bank Parking Lot Lease The report of the Parking Committee was read re-
Parking Committee,,-;Report garding the meeting with representatives of the
First National Bank of Deerfield to discuss the
leasing of the First National Bank property on Waukegan Road (former Kroger tract)
to the Village for a three year period for public parking. Thirteen conditions were
listed to be included in the lease pertaining to improvements to be constructed by
the Village, operations, liability, screening, use of present building, and
assurance that the property will not be condemned by the Village for parking.
The estimated cost of improvements was given as $8,750.00.
Discussion was had on the improvements and drainage of surface water. The
manager suggested that connection be made to the Whittier storm sewer although it
would be necessary to get an easement for the connection. He stated that if the
lease is arranged, trees could be cut down during the winter, sewer work could
be started, and it might be possible to plow part of the lot for parking on the
existing surface.
Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Craig, that the Parking Committee's
report be accepted and the Village attorney be directed to prepare the draft of
a lease as outlined by the Parking Committee for consideration by the Board and
officers of the First National Bank. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Craig, Forrest, Kelm, Raff, Schleicher (6)
Nays: None ( 0)

a contract not to condemn property, fhe Village attorney stated the condition would
not be a part of the lease, but the Board could give a statement of intent.

Ed Gourley that the First National Bank be commended for making
_J the property available for public parking, and
that Mr. Edward Gourley also be commended for his efforts as Chairman of the
Parking Committee.

appreciation, and also to Mr. Gourley.

P.C. Report - Richards Sub. The report of the Plan Commission was read
recommending approval of the Richards
Subdivision and annexation to the Village as an R -1 -A District, and variations
be granted to permit a cul -de -sac to the north with a length of 586.7 feet and
south cul -de -sac 370 feet in length, and rear and side yard variations on Lot
21. The Planning Consultant's report on the subject property was also read.
Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Kelm, that the report of the Plan
Commission be accepted.
Motion carried unanimously.
Fail to Approve Richards Plat Discussion was had on the proposed plat of
the Richrds Subdivision and the need for an
additional outlet to the north. Trustee Raff suggested that Lot 11 or Lot 12
be reserved for a five year period for street purposes at a purchase price of
$10.00; if the lot is not acquired by the Village within the five years, the
lot would be buildable. The developer, Mr. Haskell Richards, stated the sub-
division had been laid out after reviewing the site plan of the School District
property and in conformance with the wishes of both the School and Park Boards,
neither of whom want an outlet to the north. Residents of the area who expressed
concern about drainage and sewer problems were asssured that development of the
subdivision and the school property would alleviate the problem through grading
and enlargement of the lift station, and connection of the school's sanitary
sewer to the Clavinia sewer. Traffic flow and circulation were discussed, and
objection was made to the length of the cul -de -sacs. A resident pointed out
that a street to the horth would cut through the playground area and sub-
stantially reduce the land available for recreational use.
Trustee Kelm moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the preliminary plat
of subdivision be approved as submitted in accordance with the Plan Commission's
recommendation. The motion failed to carry by the following vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Kelm (2)

Trustee Schleicher suggested that the plat be returned to Mr. Richards
,.with the suggestion that he submit a revised plat shw i ng a street extensi.on,
to the north, maintaining the same number of lots as the present plat.
The meeeting was recessed at 10 :05 p.m. and re- convened at 10 :20 p.m.,
all members present.

that the contract be terminated within 60 days, as permitted under the
terms of the contract.

Craig.

designed in relation to adjacent properties and subdivisions. The school
Board is now faced with the problem of access to the school, and while
access may be acquired by condemnation, the School District has no funds
for this purpose. It was pointed out by Mr. Robert Mazur, President of
the School Board, that the only access to the site is over the little
frontage road which is located on an easement granted by the Toll High-
way Commission'to provide access to the property.

seconded by Trustee Schleicher, the meeting was adjourned at 11 :35 p.m.
