A meeting of the Board of Local Improvements of the Village of Deerfield
was called to order by the Mayor, in the Council Chamber of the Village
Hall on Monday, April 21, 1986, at 8:00 P.M. The Clerk called the roll
and announced that the following were
Present: Bernard Forrest, Mayor
James Marovitz
Cynthia Marty
Harriet Rosenthal
Edwin Seidman
Vernon Swanson
J. Robert York
and that a quorum was present and in attendance. Also present were
Village Manager Robert Franz and Village Attorney James Stucko.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Marty, that the minutes of
the previous meeting be approved. Motion carried unanimously.
James Soyka, Village Engineer, indicated on a sketch the
location of the eight lots immediately west of Wilmot Road where the
road improvements, sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewers would be
built. Mr. Brien, Vice President of Richard H. Miller & Associates,
design engineers, also discussed the improvements that were planned for
Country Lane.
James Stucko, Village Attorney, in answer to a question asked by a
Board member, noted that the proposed improvements were all consistent
with what the Village has previously done with the Master Plan.
Robert Kenny, representing the property owner of the northeast corner of
Wilmot and Lake Cook Roads, appeared before the Board and stated that
"our client is obviously against the proposed assessment and to put the
Board on notice of pending litigation regarding use of that property.
The Village is premature in voting on the improvements until the Court
has a chance to find what the proper use of that property is. If it is
commercial, as we seek in the lawsuit, then that improvement becomes
unnecessary." Mr. Kenny made a formal request that the Village not take
any action on this Special Assessment until the litigation is resolved.
Trustee Rosenthal moved, seconded by Trustee Marovitz, that the public
hearing be closed. Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Swanson that the Board of Local
Improvements adopt the Adhering Resolution and refer this matter to the
Village Board. Motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Forrest, Marovitz, Marty, Rosenthal, Seidman, Swanson, York (7)
NAYS: None (0)
There being no further business, upon motion by Mayor Forrest, seconded
by Trustee Swanson, the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
