the following vote:
Ayes: -Kelm, Schleicher, Turner, Forrest (4)
Nays: Bootz (1)
Re: Burke Prelim, Sub, Plat Mr. Brust explained that the preliminary plat
of the proposed Burke Subdivision showed a
resubdivision-of property at the rear of two houses with separate ownership, fronting
on Wilmot Road. It was the consensus of the Board that the plat of resubdivision
should.include the entire area, including the properties on Wilmot Road.
P.C. Report -Kates Road In connection with the proposed development of
` the Sackheim and Marshall properties, the
widening of County Line Road which may close off access to the Allis Chalmers parking
lot, and the future extension of Kates Road, the Plan Commission submitted sketches
prepared by the Planning Consultant showing alternate plans for the widening of Kates
Road. between Waukegan Road and the railroad tracks. A 60 foot right -of-way is
recommended. The present pavement is constructed on a 30 foot right -of -way, and an
additional 30 feet must be acquired from the Sackheim property, and from either Sara
Lee or Allis Chalmers near the Village water tank. The manager stated it was his
opinion that the fence at the water tank could be moved and the widening accomplished
without additional land. Mr. Brust pointed out that elevation must be provided to
get over the railroad tracks.
President Forrest stated a 30 foot street dedication can be obtained as a
condition of zoning and subdivision of the Sackheim property. The manager was
directed to contact Allis Chalmers for additional right -of -way.

Re: Maplewood Sewer Connections Discussion was had on the correction of sewer
connections at Maplewood School where storm
water from roof drains and surface drainage is being discharged into the sanitary
sewer. A letter from Dr. William Fenelon, Superintendent School District No. 109,
stated that as much money as possible would be set aside for the work and the
Budget would be discussed at the School Board meeting on June 29, 1970. He added
that the failure of the Village to extend Carlisle Avenue had required a substantial
outlay for the busing of students.
President Forrest stated that the School Board had been on notice for several
years that the sewer connections must be corrected, and it was unfeasoftable to
compare the cost of busing students with the extension of Carlisle which would cost
$50,000 to $80,000. He asked that a Trustee attend the June 29th School Board
meeting.
Mr. J. K. Willman, 809 Hazel Avenue, whose basement has been flooded in
every rainfall, stated that he had been attending Village and School Board meetings
for months to try to get action for correction of the problem. Dr. Fenelon's
letter having given no positive assurance that the work will be done this year,
He urged the Board to accept its responsibility to the taxpayers and take action
forthwith to enforce Village ordinances which prohibit the discharge of storm
water into sanitary sewers. He stated it was a health problem when overflows
from sanitary sewers back up into his hasement as well as many other basements in
the vicinity. Mr. William Pittenger, , 1030 Waukegan Road, expressed doubt that
correction of sewer connections at Maplewood School would resolve the problem of
flooded basements, and asked that a survey of sewers be undertaken by an engineer
to determine what should be done to eliminate the problem. A large group of resi-
ents of the area were present to protest further delay by the School Board, in-
cluding Messrs. Willard Allen, 1125 Hazel, Robert Voight, 943 Clay Court, James
Clavey, 775 Westgate and Robert McClelland, 1117 Hazel Avenue.
Authorize Notice to School Board Discussion was had on what actinn can be taken
& Legal Action by'Vlg. Atttgrney to require correction of connections to sewers
at Maplewood School. Trustee Turner moved,
seconded.by Trustee Schleicher, that notice be sent to the School Board immediately
to advise then that if action is not taken at the June 29, 1970 meeting to authorize
the work to be done to correct sewer connections at Maplewood School, the Village
attorney.is authorized to seek and injunction against the discharge of storm water
into the sanitary sewer in violation of Village ordinances; a copy of the notice to
be sent to each member of the Board of Education.
Motion.carried unanimously.
The meeting was recessed at 9:35 p.m., and re- convened at 9:50 p.m.
Report - Deerfield Rd. Underpass In connection with a petition from students at'
Maplewood School for the widening of sidewalks at
the Deerfield Road underpass, the manager reported that he had investigated the
structure to determine what might be done to improve conditions for traffic and
pedestrian safety. He stated that, due to the type of construction and location of
sewers, only replacement of the entire structure is feasible at an estimated cost of
$300,000. The traffic safety study now underway will determine a long term program
of improvements, he'stated, and proposed that as much Motor Fuel tax money as possible
be set aside each year to finance such improvements to be matched by any Federal grants
which may be available when the work can be undertaken.
Authorize $750 for Fence at A request was received from the Deerfield High
High School Drive School administration for the erection of a chain
linke fence across High School Drive with gates
to permit passage of vehicles. and one pedestrian gate.Residents of Summit Drive
U adjoining the High School property were present and voiced strong opposition to the
proposal that High School Drive be opened to cars or school buses. They complained
that student trespassers use their properties to smokeiarid eat lunch and asked that
the fence be erected across the entire 60 foot right -of -way of High School drive
with a pedestrian gate to be kept locked except during the hours when students are
going to and from school. Mr. John Swanson, acting Superintendent, stated that 300
to 400 students have permission from their parents to leave the school grounds during
the lunch period and the school cannot control their actions off the school premises
although the attempt is made. He stated smoking is not permitted on school property
and this is probably the reason students leave the grounds.
Trastee Schleicher proposed that the students be given the opportunity to solve
the problem themselves and suggested a meeting of the President of the Student Council
and homeowners with a representative from the Village to discuss the problem and
possible solutions. Mr. Swanson stated the Council was aware of the problem which
was caused by a very small percentage of students.
Trustee Bo.otz moved, seconded by Trustee Turner, that the Board authorize the
expenditure of $750 for the construction of a fence across the north right -of -way of
High School Drive with one pedestrian gate. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Kelm, Turner, Forrest (4)
Nays: Schleicher (1)
Petition 20 mph Speed Limit A petition was presented signed by 90 residents
Kipling & Longfellow of Longfellow Avenue, Kipling Place and Hermitage
Drive, who requested a reduction in the speed
limit on Longellow Avenue and Kipling Place to 20 miles per hour and enforcement of
the ordinance prohibiting truck traffic on these streets except for local deliveries.
The manager reported the results of a traffic survey in the area by the-Police Depart-
ment. Residents stated these streets are used by drivers of cars and trucks to bypass
the Waukegan - Deerfield Road intersection, and expressed concern for the safety of the
children living in the area as well as those going to and from school. They complained
of lack of enforcement of speed laws and truck traffic by the Police Department.
President Forrest asked the Village attorney to meet with the manager and Village
prosecutor to discuss lowering the speed limit, and assured the residents that some
action will be taken shortly.
Authorize Bids Discussion was had on the proposed 5 year contract
Scavenger Service with Van Der Morn Disposal'Company for scavenger
service. President Forrest stated it was his
opinion it would be a mistake to accept a five year contract for scavenger service
at the rate and conditions specified therein without going out for bids. Trustee
Kelm expressed surprise at some of the conditions of the contract which he felt would:
take from the Board the power to make changes in specifications or services without
negotiating such changes with the licensee. Mr. Van Der Molen stated the contract
was in accordance with agreements worked out at workshop sessions with the Board, and
no power was taken from the Board inasmuch 's provision.was made for re- negotiation.
He said the contract was ready for the June lst meeting which was not held due to lack
5 i1'.
of a quorum. Trustee Kelm pointed out he had received the contract the pretrious
Friday, which gave too brief a time to thoroughly review a contract which would
tie up the Village for five years. Trustee Schleicher questioned whether it was
to the best interests of the residents to approve a contract with the labor rate
based on the Chicago Teamster Union scale. Several citizens urged the Board to
seek competitive-bids for scavenger service.
The Village attorney stated that two scavenger licenses had been issued
for the calendar year and no exclusive franchsae_.cAri be granted until January 1,
1971, but an additional license could be issued this year by amending the ordinance
to authorize three scavenger licenses.
. Trustee Turner moved, seconded by Trustee Kelm, that advertisement for
bids for scavenger service be authorized, specifications being existing requirements.
Motion carried unanimously

Failed to Pass Sectinns of Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code
pertaining to alcoholic liquor, which would

provisions of the ordinance define "restaurant ", establishes a license fee for a
Class D license of $2,000 per year, limited to one Class D license to be issued
only to a restaurant, and closing hours for the sale of alcoholic liquor.

adopted as originally prepared. The motion failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Kelm, Schleicher (3)
Nays: Turner, Forrest (2)
Trustee Schleicher then moved, secodned by Trustee Bootz, that the ordinance
be adopted with'the amendment proposed by the President. The motion failed by the
following vote:
Ayes: None (0)
Nays: Bootz, Kelm, Schleicher, Turner (4)
Mr. Phil Johnson, who will apply for a Class D license, stated a service
bar was acceptable for the usual restaurant service, but could not be used for
banquets:: or meetings of organizations. He asked if a portable bar could be used
for such functions, at which service would be permitted. Mr. Walter Moses fif the
JCs confirmed Mr. Johnson's statement about banquet meetings, and urged the Board
to reconsider the ordinance as originally presented. Trustee Schleicher asked the
Village attorney to draft an amendment for consideration by the Board which would
permit the sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises as outlined
by Mr. Johnson.
Re: Weed Complaint The manager reported that he has again notified
318 Willow Mr. John Glorioso to mow the weeds at the rear
of 318 Willow, and he has agreed to do so.
However, Mr-.. Glorioso has been unable to get someone to do the work, and the
property is again under water; also, grass clippings have been dumped on his
property by neighbors. -The manager stated that if Mr. Glorioso cannot get someone
to mow the weeds it will be done by Village employees and the bill for this service,
will be sent to Mr. Glorioso.
Trustee Schleicher left the meeting at 11:22 p.m.
Re: Lerner CATV
License Application
The Village attorney reported he had re-
ceived a call from the attorney for Lerner
Communications, Inc. regarding the application
for a CATV license. He suggested that a copy of a proposed CATV ordinance pre-
pared several years ago be sent to the company for review. The company can then
request a public hearing on the issuance of a license. The matter will be removed
from the agenda 'until word is received from the company that they wish to proceed.
Trustee Schleicher re- entered the meeting at 11:25 p.m. and was present
thereafter.

was dropped from the agenda as not being timely since the legislature will.take no
action on these bills at the special session.
Re: Proposed We -Go Storm Sewer The manager recommended that preparation of plans
& Mailfald-Development for the installation of a storm sewer along the
south line of the We -Go Park Subdivision be
deferred until decision is made on the development of the former Mailfald property
adjacent thereto. The purchaser has met with the Plan Commissinn to discuss the
annexation of the tract with zoning to permit the construction of apartments. The
installation of a storm sewer to drain storm water from the We -Go Park area in con-
junction with the development of the former Mailfald property would be advantageous to
both the developer and the Village. The new storm sewer along Wilmot Road to Laurel
Avenue has done much to alleviate flooding in We -Go Park.
,d Report- Traffic at County Line- The manager reported that Paul Box Associates,
Waukegan Intersection Traffic Consultants, had observed traffic at
the County Line - Waukegan Road intersection and
A the backup was not critical at this time. The $7,000 to $8,000 cost for temporary
improvements to traffic signals would not be warranted economically`wlth.;6xisting
conditions. The manager was directed to ask the Cook County Highway Department to
install right turn lanes as part of the County Line Road widening project.

(0- 70 -20) pool because the only level place on his lot for
the installation of the pool did not comply with
the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance which require a location not less than 10 feet
from the house and not less than 10 feet from the lot line. He stated he had read
the swimming pool regulations and it was his opinion they referred only to permanent
pools and not temporary and portable pools. Building Commissioner Charles Smalley
stated swimming pools are an accessory use and must comply with the provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Village attorney stated the proposed amendment to the swimming
pool regulations clarified the matter of permitted location, and also authorized the
Board of Trustees to grant variations in cases of hardship.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Kelm, that the ordinance be
adopted amending the Municipal Code by adding a new Section 27.803(e) to provide that
swimming pools shall be located only in side or rear yards not nearer than 10 feet to
any lot line nor nearer than 10 feet to the principal structure on the lot, and

Re: WErhane 7�.A. Tract Plan Commission Chairman Albert Brust stated
he had read the letter of May 13, 1970 from
Mr. Stephen Malato, attorney for Mr. Joseph Valenti, in which it was stated that
Mr. Valenti had agreed that if he exercised his right of first refusal to acquire

Deerbrook Addition, he will annex the property to the Village of Deerfield, accept
zoning comparable to that set forth in the Annexation Agreement, and will execute
