proposed that the drainage work be paid from Motor Fuel Tax funds, which would
reduce the cost of the sidewalk construction to $8,000 to $9,000 to be paid by
Special Assessments. The manager. reported Motor Fuel Tax funds were not avail-
able for this work at this time. Trustee Mandler proposed the matter be
deferred to next year, and that the usual procedure of an informal hearing be
followed to get an expression of opinion from the property owners. The Board
approved this suggestion.
Safety Council Report A report was received from the Safety
Council stating their major goal would
be a program of safety education directed to parents and schools. They suggested
in future bicycle registration, licenses. be issued at the Village Hall in the
same manner vehicle stickers are handled. They felt their efforts in the last
bicycle registration had not produced satisfactory results since only 1200
licenses had been issued. They also proposed a re- organization of the Council
to provide that a chairman be appointed for the middle year of his three year
term. Trustee Wetzel stated it was his opinion that bicycle registration should
not be considered a revenue producing matter, but rather to provide an opportunity
to present bicycle safety information to the children. He took recognition of
the fact that the manpower of the Police Department limited their participation
in bike safety education, but felt that even the present program produced some
beneficial results. He also suggested the manager consult with the Chief of
Police on increasing their participation in bicycle registration, and recommended
the licensing program be continued..
Trustee Schleicher stated the Safety Council had made a constructive
suggestion on the appointment of the chairman, and asked the attorney to prepare
an ordinance implementing this suggestion for consideration by the Board. Presi-
dent Whitney suggested that a riding test be made a part of the bicycle registra-
tion. A member of the audience brought to the Board's attention a new state law
which requires Ghat all bicycles be equipped with lights.

the District: present schools are near or at maximum capacity, and the only
access from the subdivision would be via Deerfield Road or County Line Road.
They urged consideration of alteration of present district boundaries to work
out a cooperative plan for neighborhood accessibility. President Whitney
stated School District 109's Board of Education had voted 6 -1 against a change
in district boundaries. However, he requested a copy of the letter be sent
to the Plan Commission and to the President and Superintendent of District 109.

permitted to delay removal of the framework until warmer weather, due to difficulties
in removing the frames from frozen ground. The Board authorized the manager to

Soil Testing Zoning A letter was received from the attorney for
Soil Testing Services asking that the Board
give consideration to reducing minimum lot size requirements in the M District
regulations to one acre instead of the three acre minimum presently stipulated.
He said the three acre requirement represented a severe restriction which would
prevent the owners from selling portions of the tract and other owners in the area
were also in favor of such a reduction. He further stated the owners were opposed
to an 0 & R classification proposed by the Village. Trustee Mandler requested
that the Village attorney be instructed to tell the company pjhatrpc or'commi-tments
were made with respect to annexation and report back to the Board.

ing the purchase of a 5.6 acre tract from Soil Testing and asked if the Village

which made nog reference to a new classification. He reviewed the background of
the present zoning of the subject property, and stated adjoining property owners
had a right to rely on the maintenance of existing zoning, since no change had
occured in the area that would warrant a change in zoning. He questioned owner-
ship of the tract, and stated questions asked by him at the Plan Commission
hearing in October had not been answered. He asked the Board to deny the rezoning
since the petitioner had not shown that the public good would be served by the
change, and stated if the Board acted in an arbitrary manner, the Courts would
strike down such action. He said the plat of the proposed subdivision had been
checked and several lots did not meet the 13,500 sq. ft. area requirement.
. Mr.-David Hoffman, attorney representing Mr. Kennedy, gave details of
ownership and stated all questions had been answered at the public hearing. Mr.
Axelrood stated the Village attorney's office had examined the notice of hearing
and the recommendation of the Plan Commission and found all in good order legally.
Mr. Bruce Brown and Mr. Joseph Payne, residetns of Brierhill Road, presented
plats of the Brierhill Road and Innisfree area showing lot sizes. Mr. Brown
stated that average lot size on Brierhill Road was 46,000 sq. ft. Of the lots
abutting Brierhill Road properties in the proposed subdivision, only eleven met
the 20,000 sq. ft. area requirement of the R -1 district, according to the plat
prepared by Mr. Kennedy. He asked the Board to require 20,000sq. ft. lot sizes
for abutting lots.
n Mr. Thomas Nelligan, Brierhill Road, stated he favored Mr. Kennedy's
l and at least two others also held this opinion.
,—� proposal, P
c.i Trustee Wetzel stated that he was disqualifying himself from voting on
V this matter since he was purchasing property from Mr. Kennedy in the Scatterwoods
Subdivision and might be considered prejudiced.
In answer to President Hearn's question, Mr. Kennedy stated that the zoning
of the proposed subdivision was approximately 40p /o R -1 and 609% R -IA, and that
lot sizes were reduced in the 4%, but increased in 60% of the tract, and the
intensity of land use for the entire tract was no greater than under present
zoning.
Mr. Payne pointed out that under the proposed rezoning, the tract could
be resubdivided at a later date increasing the number of lots by reducing all
lots to the minimum size established by the new R -8 district. Mr. Hoffman stated
that the developer would submit a declaration of restrictions for the area, which
would be executed and recorded and would bind any subsequent purchaser of the
land, and prevent downgrading the area to minimum requirements.
After further discussion, Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee Smith,
that the ordinance be adopted as presented, subject to the filing of a declaration
of hestrktion that would bind the land to the lot sizes platted, said declaration
to be approved by the Village attorney. President Hearn stated that he would
not sign the ordinance until a satisfactory agreement has been prepared and
approved by the attorney.
The ordinance was adopted by the following vote:

1st Presentation - Ordinance The ordinance for Special Assessment
S/A #103 - Hovland Improvements improvements in Hovland Subdivision,
Warrant No. 103 was presented and read
in full. Mr. Axelrood stated that any special.assessments in excess of $200,000
required publication of the ordinance, and he would arrange for such publication.
Mr. Charles Stemwedel, attorney representing owners of 90 1/2 lots, objected to
the special assessment on the basis that the proposed improvements would place
an unwarranted burden on the owners. He proposed that the Board give considera-
tion to rezoning the subdivision to something less than 20,000 sq. ft. lots in
order to enable present property owners to resubdivide their 36,000 sq. ft. lots.
Mr. Sumner Walker and Joseph Koss pointed out that several plans had been
prepared for the Village for resubdivision of the area, and asked the Board to
defer action on the proposed Special Assessment until such time as these Olans
could be reviewed and decision made as to what would be the best development
for the area. It was the concensus of the Board that due to the complexity of
the problem, a reasonable time could be allowed to permit study of the area for
a practical solution of zoning and improvements problems.
Trustee Wetzel moved that a sixty day moratorium be declared.with a report
to be submitted at the end of the period as to what progress had been made.
Motion Carried unanimously.
President Hearn suggested that interested groups get together to work
out proposals and a progress report be submitted at each meeting of the Board.
S/A #101 - Approve In connection with the Judge's proposal
Reduction Marshall Assessment that the assessment for the Marshall
property under Special Assessment #101,
Greenwood Storm Sewer, be reduced by two thirds, Mr. Charles Greengard, engineer,
stated that a number of houses on the west of Wayne Avenue had been connected
at the rear lot line to the storm sewer installed in the Marshall tract, thereby
reducing the capacity of the sewer by two thirds to drain that area.. Mr. Axel -
rood stated he felt this was a reasonable compromise. Trustee Mandler moved,
seconded by Trustee;.Smith that the Marshall assessment be reduced by two thirds,
as proposed. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Lindemann, Mandler, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (5)
Nays: None (0)
Deny Horenberger Rezoning The Plan Commission repott was read
NW Corner, Wilmot- Deerfield recommending denial of a petition to
rezone the Horenberger property at the
northwest corner of Wilmot and Deerfield roads to the B -1 Neighborhood Business
classification to permit the construction of a gas station. Trustee-Mandler moved,
seconded by Trustee Lindemann, that the Plan Commission's recommendation be
accepted ind the petition be denied.
Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinances Violations Charged President Hearn read a letter from Mr.
John Jursich, Warwick Road, addressed
to the manager, and stated that it had been opened in the presence of the Board
immediately prior to the regular meeting. The letter asked for dismissal of the
building commissioner for failure to perform his duties. He listed violations
of existing ordinances and pointed out enforcement of these ordinances was the
responsibility of the building commissioner.
Mr. Jursich addressed the Board and gave details of alleged violations
as follows: Brierwood Vista Subdivision improvements constructed prior to plat
approval and posting of bond; service garage for Brierwoods Country Club construct-
ed on R -4 zoned property after legal non - conforming building was demolished;
Sara Lee signs in an M district wherein only one sign is permitted; permit for
alterations and enlargement of a non - conforming building issued to Arnold Pedersen
for office building on Central Avenue without Board approval; Addresses of 15
'signs in the business districts which did not comply with the zoning regulations.
He further charged that many policies of the Village were established
in private meetings and then formally passed in public, without discussion. He
stated many ordinances were passed at a first presentation contrary to the
Board's rules, depriving the public of any opportunity to voice its opinions.
He concluded his remarks by requesting resignation of the building commissioner
and manager for failure to perform their duties.
President Hearn stated the Board had listened carefully to these charges
and the alleged violations would be investigated. He said the Board has known
and approved what has been done and stated that no official action was taken by
this Board that was nOt presented to the public and acted on in public. Trustee
Wetzel complimented Mr. Jursich on exercising his rights as a citizen and stated.
that the Board desired to-represent public opinion and that all their actions
be taken in the public interest. Messrs. Di Pietro and Galvani, •local.contractors,
complimented the building commissioner for excellent performance in the discharge
of his duties. Mr. Raymond Meyer, former trustee, commended the Board for the
work they and past boards had done and stated the Board always voted for what
was best for the entire Village and not for any particular group.
Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee Smith that the Board stand back
of Manager Stilphen's and Building Commissioner Bowen's actions one hundred
percent. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Lindemann, Mandler, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (5)
Nays: None (0)
President Hearn stated he was pleased at the action taken by the Board
and the charges would-be investigated and reported in detail to the public.

Smith moved, seconded by Trustee Mandler, that this appointment be confirmed.
Motion Carried unanimously.
Approve Water and Sewer The manager reported that he had ex-
Service - Cullman Wheel Co. plained to representatives of the
z Cullman Wheel Co. that it was the policy
of the Village not to furnish sewer and water services to properties outside the
corporate limits; however, the tract the company proposes to buy is not conti-
guous to the Village and annexation is not possible. He stated that the company
proposed to construct a building which would occupy only 20% of the tract and
would employ about 90 people. They request permission to extend sewer and water
lines to serve their tract and would pay all costs.
Mr. Axelrood stated that he had a conference with an attorney for the
Public Service Company and d,ue to a shift in authority the aompany has requested
a legal memorandum justifying the classification of their property as a condi-
tional use in a residential district. The manager reported that Soil Testing
.Laboratories had reviewed the manufacturing regulations and expressed concern
about the minimum three acre site requirement since they had considered selling
one acre tracts for development. After further discussion Trustee Mandler moved,
to seconded by Trustee Smith, that the Board approve extension of sewer and water
f..l mains to serve the Cullman Wheel Co. property at no cost to the Village provided
Z the company agrees to petition for annexation when the property becomes contiguous,
v and their development of the property will be inconformity with the regulations
V of the manufacturing zoning regulations and the Deerfield Building Code.

Report - ICC Hearing Mr. Axelrood reported on the hearing
Re: RR Crossing Gates before the Illinois Commerce Commission
on the Village's petition for the in-
stallation of crossing gates at Greenwood, Hazel and Osterman Avenues. He said
concern was expressed about the near accident involving a school bus at the
Telegraph Road railroad crossing, and statdd the railroad would like either to
close the crossing or provide protection similar to that sought for the other
crossings in the Village. The manager reported some objection had been made to
the pedestrian gates requested by the Village, but Mr. Axelrood had made an ex-
cellent presentation of the Village's case. Other Deerfield representatives
attending the meeting in addition to the attorney and manager were Messrs. Bowen
and Klasinski and Chief of Police Petersen.
It was brought out in the course of the hearing that all communities,
both north and south of Deerfield, had crossing gates at all crossings. The
proposal was made that the petition for crossing gates be amended by the addition
of a gate installation at the Telegraph Road crossing. The cost for the three
installations was estimated to be $95,000, and the addition of gates at Telegraph
Road would cost approximately $32,000.
Trustee Mandler suggested a report of the hearing be sent to the officials
of Bannockburn, who have a direct interest in the Telegraph Road crossing, and
a meeting with them be arranged. Mr. Axelrood suggested that he write to the
Commerce Commission asking them to make Bannockburn a part to the hearing which
was contined to February 25, and the Board approved this suggestion.
Rules of Procedure
The manager reported that in considering
for Safety Council
the drafting of an ordinance to effectuate
the Safety Council's recommendation
that the Chairman of the Council serve
for the second year of his three year
term, it seemed best that the Council
establish Rules of Procedure to implement
this rule which could then be changed
when and if it appeared desirable to make
further changes in the Council's organization. Trustee Mandler stated this was
an excellent suggestion, and asked the
manager to write to the Safety Council
suggesting this approach.
MFT Resolution - Add
Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by
Westgate & Woodland Dr.
Trustee Schleicher, that a resolution
be adopted designating Westgate Road
from Wincanton to Warrington, and Woodland
Drive from Stratford to Wilmot, as
arterial streets under the Motor Fuel
Tax Law. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Lindemann, Mandler, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (5)

Back to Bd. of Zoning Appeals wpp;-read ofi the petition of the First
National Bank for a variation to permit
the erection of a free - standing sign at 757 Deerfield Road in front.of the bank.
Two members of the.Board recommended the variation be•granted, and two members
recommended denial. Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee Lindemann, that
the report be sent back to the Board of Zoning Appeals with the request that the
matter be submitted to all members of the Zoning Board so that a majority decision
could be made either for or against the variation.
Motion carried unanimously.
Approve Signs - Red Seal The Board of Zoning Appeals recommended
Homes & Town -We -Go Subs. approval of the petition of Red Seal
Homes for a permit to maintain the
existing sign at County Line and Waukegan Roads for a six month period. They

sioner upon a showing of necessity. Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee

Motion carried unanimously.
The manager reported that the attorney for Klefstedt Engineering had
learned of the change of zoning on the jurisdictional area map affecting the
property south of County Line Road which the company had proposed to develop as
an industrial park. He stated he had explained that the Village would entertain
a petition for annexation for residential zoning with 9,000 sq. ft. lots, but
the map amendment indicated the intention of the Village to not consider annexation
under a non - residential classification.
Mrs. Gerald Clampitt, Greenwood Avenue, requested information on the
status of the proposed Greenwood Avenue sidewalk project. Trustee Mandler answered
that the Board at the last meeting had decided to defer action on the project
until the necessary drainage work could be done as a Motor Fuel Tax project, and
therefore the project would be delayed for approximately one year.
The manager reported a notice had been received from the Illinois Commerce
Commission relativet;:o a hearing on January 22, 1964 to consider the matter
of proposed increases in certain fares on the Milwaukee Road.
There being no further business, the meeting was agrned at 12 :05 a.m.
