lot be added to the adjoining lots. He also pointed out the subdivision plat has

pay part of the cost of.sewer and warer main

this offer by the Village would not provide a significant saving . He reported

.$88,000 for the construction, the Village would pay $66,000, Volkswagen $22,000.

under a recapture ordinance, which in time would result in a net cost to the
Village of approximately $17,000. He stated the company wanted assurance that,
if and when annexed to the Village, they would be permitted to operate under the
same provisions granted by Cook County. He mentioned harassment by a group
headed by Mrs. Lucile Loarie as having been ad added problem in these negotiations
with the Company.

R.R. Crossing Protection Trustee Smith reported the Illinois Commerce
Commission and the Railroad had offered two
alternate proposals in connection with protection of railroad crossings by
installation of gates and signals: (1) if the present 4 crossings are retained,
the Village would pay approximately $4000 per crossing, a total of $16,000; or
(2) if the Telegraph Road crossing is closed, the railroad felt the entire
cost of the remaining three crossing gate installations would be paid by the
State. He stated the closing of the Telegraph Road crossing would not affect
its status as a Motor Fuel Tax Arterial Street in Bannockburn, nor would it
affect the proposed North Avenue overpass. Under the second proposal, motor
and pedestrian gates would be provided at three crossings, and a pedestrian
crossing.constructed at Telegraph Road. After further discussion, Trustee
Smith moved, seconded by Trustee Mandler, that, contingent upon Bannockburn's
approval, the manager be authorized to negotiate with the Commerce Commission'
and the Railroad on the following basis: installation of motor and pedestrian
gates at three crossings, the Telegraph Road crossing closed to vehicular
traffic, with a pedestrian crossing and gates constructed 1h . the safest
