Side Yard Variation- Appeals recommended denial of the
R. Felton -328 Willow petition of Mr. Robert Felton, 328
DENIED Willow, for a side yard variation to
permit expansion of the existing garage.

be accepted and the petition be denied.
Motion carried unanimously.

In response to a resident's question on why the parade and other activities
were held on July 5th, President Forrest stated the decision was made by Deer -
Field Family Day, Inc. and it was not a Village function. Trustee Gavin stated
a ground breaking ceremony for the Bicentennial fountain was held July 4th and
many churches had special services. She pointed out that the parade included
bands and other features that could not otherwise have been obtained for a
July 4th parade. Deerfield Family Day, Inc. is a non - profit organization, and
and is not supported by the Village Board.
Re: Fence -1550 Laurel Mr. Arthur Altman, 1550 Laurel Avenue,
reviewed the background of the installa-
tion of the fence adjacent to the sidewalk on Wilmot Road. He asked the Board
to reconsider its action to require removal of the fence to his property line
inasmuch as written permission was given by the manager to construct the fence
approximately 7 feet within the Wilmot Road right -of -way and it would be costly
to move it. Having obtained permission to put up the fence, he said he would
carry the matter on further through the newspapers as a matter of principle.
President Forrest stated the Board required moving the fence back to
the property line, and the manager has been told not to give similar permissions.
The Board will require any fence to be moved back to the property line.
lst Presentation Ordinance

The first presentation was made of an
ordinance amending the Municipal Code
to require the licensing of vending
machines, the fee for such licenses to be $15.00 for each food vending machine
and $50.00 for all other types of vending machines.
Trustee Seidman there should be more clarification of the definition of
"vending machine ". The Board was asked to submit ideas on what should be
included in the definition, and the ordinance will be on the agenda for the
next meeting.

that the ordinance be passed providing for the
recapture of a proportionate share of the cost
for connection to the water main installed in
a part of Laurel Avenue by Helen Holzmacher, owner of Lot 71, Hovland Subdivision, in

Nays: None (0)

Approve IMRF & ICMA for Notice was received from the Illinois Municipal
Police Chief -SS Refund Retirement Fund that the Social Security Admini-
to ICMA stration has ruled that a police chief partici-
pating in IMRF may not be covered by .Social
Security but has the option to remain in IMRF without Social Security coverage or to
join the Police Pension Fund before July 1, 1976. Social Security payments made under
IMRF by the Chief of Police and the Village will be refunded retroactive to January 1,
1969. A letter from Mr. Stucko further clarified the Social Security refunds and
00 options on pensions.
A memorandum from Chief of Police Brandt requested that he remain in IMRF
and that the refund of prior Social Security payments and an amount equal to his and
the Village's contribution to Social Security be deposited in the International City
Manager's Deferred Compensation Program.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Blumenthal, that the Police Chief's
request be approved. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Blumenthal, Gavin, Seidman, Stiehr, Swanson (5)
Nays: None (0)
Application will be made to the Social Security Administration for the refund
of payments made by the Village and former Police Chief Warren Whitton. He will
receive the total amount refunded.
Discussion -Cats Licensing Discussion was had on a possible ordinance
to require the licensing of cats to assure
inoculation against rabies. Usually cat bites are from strays and the cat must be
impounded because there is no way of knowing whether the cat has been inoculated. Cats
have been impounded at a veterinary's establishment and the Village must pay the im-
poundment fee because the owner is not known. The last impoundment charge was $40,
but the Village pound has been remodeled to provide space for the impoundment of cats.
Trustee Swanson stated that if the Village has a pound the cost of impoundment would be
small. Trustee Blumenthal said he was willing to drop the matter and decision was made
that an ordinance was unnecessary.
Re: Fence Ordinance A report from the Plan Commission stated the
subject of fences and screening had been discussed
at the June 17th meeting and a copy of a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
was submitted. The Director of Building and Zoning stated the Comprehensive Amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance was almost ready for a public hearing by the Plan Commission
and would include the section on fences. Mr. Stucko stated he agreed with Mr. Smalley
and he did not think the Plan Commission should go forward at this time with a public
hearing on fences only. Decision was made that the Plan Commission proceed with a
public hearing on the complete amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and no separate hearing
be held on fences.
Discussion - Liquor License A letter from Mr. Salvatore Buccola, Lake -Cook
Siegelman's Restaurant Plaza, requested that the Village make available
a liquor license for Siegelman's Restaurant in
Lake -Cook Plaza. There will be 160 seats in the dining area (60 seats in a banquet area)
and 75 seats in the cocktail lounge, and a total area of 4900 sq. ft.
The President stated a "pouring license" requires meals to be served with drinks,
and there is no provision for cocktail lounges. The license for Brunswick Bowling Lanes
is covered in the Annexation Agreement.It was pointed out that the Lake -Cook Plaza
Agreement provided for the issuance of a liquor license for a restaurant but not a
cocktail lounge or bar where drinks could be sold without meals.
It was the consensus that all holders of "pouring licenses" should be notified
that alcoholic drinks can be served only in conjunction with meals. Mr. Stucko will
review the Annexation Agreement with respect to the liquor license issued to the
Brunswick Bowling Lanes.

Request Class C License Mr. Victor Marcus, Mr. Adams Restaurant,
Change from Class A (Beer) requested permission to change the Class
Mr. Adams Restaurant A liquor License for the sale of beer
for consumption on the premises to a
Class C license to authorize the retail sale of beer and wine for consumption
on the premises incidental to the service of meals.
Mr. Marcus stated he stops serving beer at 1 a.m. and will not serve
beer or wine after that hour, not will he serve anyone on Sunday mornings. He
limits customers to three drinks with meals. Trustee Seidman stated signs
must be taken down; he is permitted "beer" and "wine" signs only - no brands.

Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Blumenthal, Gavin, Seidman, Stiehr, Swanson (5)
Nays: None (0)
The President congratulated the manager on his appointment to the Review
Board on Highway classification by the Illinois Municipal League. He reported
that the North Branch of the Chicago River Steering Committee will meet in the
Deerfield Village Hall on July 8th.
Clerk's Reports The clerk reported that the Lake County
Tax Extension Department has not yet
received the tax books, and it is unlikely that the final 1975 tax bills will
be sent out before the last week in September. The information was requested
by the auditors who must have the tax rates for 1975 to complete the audit.
President Forrest asked that it be determined when the audit must be filed with
the State.
The clerk reported she did not have the ordinance authorizing an
additional liquor license for Kuhn's Delicatessen, or the ordinance creating
a Class F license for the sale of beer by Deerfield Family Day, Inc. on
July 5th, or the Resolution accepting the replacement of the LEADS teletype
with the CRT and printer.
Mr. Stucko stated that numerous changes were approved by the Board in
passage of the Ordinance amending the liquor licensing provisions on June 8th
and he had included the Kuhn license in the final revision. He stated the
one -day beer license Class F had not been issued to...Deerfield Family Day, Inc.
because the Park District was opposed to the consumption of beer in Jewett
Park.

Reports Trustee Swanson said he did not see any
increase in planned activities during
the summer for the young people of the Village in order to deter vandalism.
The President stated the reports from the Youth Council and the Police Depart-
ment showed the activities provided for the youngsters. They had cleaned up
at Holy Cross and the High School.
President Forrest asked that the Police Department keep an eye on the
siren installation at South Park School. It appears that it could be easily
vandalized.
Trustee Seidman asked the Police to check on speeding on Oakley between
Hazel and Greenwood.
There being no further business, bn motion by Trustee Seidman and seconded
by Trustee Swanson, the meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
