The proposed plan would provide year -round activities for all age groups and can be completed in stages. Provision has been made for baseball and football 1 -4 6 fields, a 9 hole par 3 golf course which can be lighted at a future date, an archery range, tennis courts, artificial ice rink,.a swimming pool and combination bath and shelter house and.a main circulation road through the.park with parking areas. The clay hole would be reshaped.for_a playground.area, with bicycle and jogging trails. Excavated earth would be used for a hill for a toboggan slide with a lookout tower at the top. He pointed out that flood water would be diverted to the hole only after extremely heavy rains, and the water will be pumped out as soon as the stream can take the excess water, whUb. in most cases would be three to four days. The entire bottom of the hole will not be flooded since it will be shaped for drainage to the lowest part. Play equipment in the area that would be flooded will be of the type which would not be damaged by water. The rapid filling of the clay pit was discussed. Mr. Donahue stated that the present level of fill would present no difficulties in carrying out the pro - posed development plan, but it would.be.desireable if dumping was stopped. The Village attorney stated .that .if the Village's right to condemn the property is upheld by the court, an injunction.could be requested to stop dumping. Mr. Donahue said that a two foot clay seal-after grading the pit will be effective in eliminating odors which would otherwise.result from water standing on the fill material. The first step.in the development of the property would be grading and seeding, and then the planting of trees and shrubs. The less expensive facilities for recreation can be installed as.funds are available, and some uses, such as the golf course, the swimming pool and artificial ice rink, for which fees would be charged, can be financed by revenue bonds.. to be paid from income. Mr. Donahue stated that no Federal.funds are available.for acquisition of the property at this time, but if funds do become available later,-the entire plan could be carried out at one time. He stated.that.no estimate.of development costs had been prepared, but only a plan for the dual purposes of .a flood reservoir and recreational uses. Trustee Forrest pointed out that the plan had been ordered and will be paid for by the Metropolitan Sanitary District. In answer to a question on why the brick company buildings were shown. on the plan as a.continuing use, the President stated the Board would decide how.much land should be bought after the Court's decision on the right of the Village -to condemn.the property. The Village attorney stated that Court proceedings are underway, oral arguments have been heard, and written briefs have been requested by the Court. Orchard St. Combined Sewer The Superintendent of Public Works reported Discussion of Separation that investigation of the Orchard Street storm drainage showed that a combined sewer serves the street, including a parking lot area. Separation of the sewers at a cost of approximately $4200 will eliminate a good part of the flooding problem. Discussion was had on whether the cost of the sewer separation should be paid by the Village or by the property _owners, either on a cash basis or by special assessments. It was pointed out that the major sewer separation project in 1954 had financed by the sale of general obligation and sewer revenue bonds, and later, the costs of the separation of sewers in the Central Business District and on Elm Street had been paid from other Village funds. Trustee Schleicher proposed that a decision on the Orchard Street sewer be postponed, and a report be prepared for consideration at the next meeting listing any other areas still served by combined sewers with an estimate of costs for separation. Dr. Sundin.stated that better bids could be obtained, on a larger project. The meeting was recessed at 9:35 p.m., and reconvened at 9:55 p.m. Discussion - Carlisle Extension A letter from School. District 108 was read & Bridge Referred to P.C. requesting that the Board undertake the extension of Carlisle Avenue to connect the north and south ends and the construction of a bridge across the east drainage ditch to provide more direct - access to the school and eliminate busing. Dr. Fenelon was present to reiterate the request of School District 109 for the extension of Carlisle. Mr. Eugene Howley, 630 Carlisle, stated that over 80 per cent of the owners in the area had been polled; over 50 per cent favored the extension of Carlisle to the school but not through to County Line Road; and approxima.fe.ly.30-pet cent favored an indirect connection to the sch000l. He stated that while the owners recognized that traffic must move through the area to serve the school., there is great concern about speeding and the volume of traffic that would be generated if Carlisle is carried though to County Line Road. He pointed out that there is only one outlet to Deerfield Road in the area and there is often a considerable wait for a break in traffic to enter Deerfield -Road. He stated that he favored the extension of a street to the school. and the construction of the bridge, but it was his opinion that the overall plan for development of the area should provide for a street through to Waukegan Road to be constructed-by the developer. Another resident of the area, who had not been polled, said he was opposed-to-the extension of Carlisle through to County Line Road, which would result in much more traffic and speeding. 147 Trustee Forrest stated that he had reviewed the Agreement between the Village and Mr. Irwin Blietz which provides for a contribution of $20,000 from Mr. Blietz Toward--the cost of the bridge if the Village proceeds with the construction. President Finney stated that Mr. Blietz has heretofore declared that the Village would have to condemn any right - of -way for a street extension through his property, and the Board's decision on. the matter must include consideration of the likelihood-of a condemnation. suit unless Mr. Blietz changes his position. He reported that Mr..Blietz has plans for a Planned Development underway. The Village attorney stated that, if the Board determines that the street should be constructed;, the first step would be to advise Mr. Blietz of the Board's decision and ask for his suggestions on street alignment. If Mr. Blietz is unwilling to cooperate with the Village and condemnation proceedings are instituted, care must be taken on street location in order that Mr. Blietz will not have grounds for suit for damages. This would require the pl.attin.g.of a subdivision, -and he suggested that this matter be taken up with the Planning Consultant. Trustee Craig stated he was opposed to.any long -drawn out negotiations with Mr. Blietz, of to trade a street for apartments. It was his opinion that after a decision is made on whether Carlisle Avenue or some other street should be constructed and the location of the street deteriuined with due regard to traffiecand pedestrian safety, it Mr. Blietz.is unwilling.to cooperate, the Board should file suit for condemnation forthwith. The Board approved Trustee Schleicher's suggestion that the question be referred Q to the Plan Commission asking for recommendations on the extension of Carlisle Avenue to conform to the basic Village plan and meet the needs of the School. Districts. Trustee Forrest asked that residents of Colony Point and-other subdivisions in the area be invited U to the Plan Commission meeting when the matter will be discussed. U A resident of Colony Point asked for stop signs at Cody Lane and was referred to the Safety Council.. Trustee Forrest left the meeting at 10:30. 1st Presentation-Mun. Code Amend.
