P.C. Report - Blietz The Plan Commission report was read, recom-
Proposed Subd. King's Cove mending approval of the preliminary plat of
a the addition to King's Cove Subdivision,
t y provided certain conditions are met pertaing to easements for access to the
? school and pedestrian bridge, drainage from the school property, a 60 ft.
right -of -way reserved for street purposes, and $20,000 to be placed in escrow
b i for a future bridge. A lengthy discussion following in which Messrs,, Frankel
and Wneger of School District ##108, Messrs. Bruce Blietz and Paul Behanna, his
attorney, and Board members participated. It was agreed that dedications for
access were preferable to easements, and Mr. Blietz indicated this could be
worked out as well as most other conditions specified by the ♦plan Commission.
However, both he and and his attorney were unequivocally opposed to the
$20,000 contribUti:6n:.for-thez�bridge, stating it was an unreasonable demand
and unnecessary for the development of the subdivision. Trustee Raff pointed
out that the developer of Waytula's Lake Eleanor Subdivision was paying the
full cost of a bridge to provide an additional means of access to his sub-
division. Board members expressed the opinion the bridge was ndeed for the
overall plan of the Village, and a secondary means of access to King's Cove
Subdivision sho&ld :be�,provided for fire and police protection and better
traffic circulation.
President Finney suggested the matter be taken under advisement by
the,Board, and that Mr. Blietz continue to work with the School Board to
resolve questions of access and drainage.
Mr. Blietz stated he could not change his basic viewpoint with regard
to the bridge, and requested withdrawal of the plat.
The,meeting was recessed at 10 :15 p.m, and re- convened at 10 :35 p.m.

Annexations S. of County Line annexation had been sent to the owners of
more than 50 percent of the properties
south of County Line Road between the Milwaukee Railroad right -of -way and
Pfinsten Road. Upon the return of the executed petitions, he stated they
must be filed with the Court and a notice of hearing published. He estimated
the annexation could be completed within 60 days after filing.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the Village
attorney be authorized to institute Court proceedings for the annexation of
the property Outh of County Line Road including the railroad right -of -way
and Pfingsten Road. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith (4)
Nays: None (0)
Re: Church Easement The attorney reported the Presbyterian
Church was willing to grant an easement
across the rear of the Church property for street purposes for 40 years
provided the Village acquires the Broege property for a street, and , if the
street is discontinudo, the,easement would be terminated. He stated these
conditions should cause no problem to the Village. It was the consensus
288
that the attorney should proceed to acquire the easement from the
Church, and the Board would then take action to acquire the Broege
property.
Re: H.P. Sewer Bill The Village attorney reported he had
- a lengthy conversation with a Highland
Park resident who strongly objected to the bill for sewer services at 3 -1/2
times the rate paid by Village residents for the period prior to the
execution of the contract with Highland Park. It was the opinion of the
Board that a reasonable time be set during which the bill must be paid,
o ,a lien would be filed as provided by ordinance.
Refer BZA Chairman Appointment The Village attorney reported that
to P.C. for Hearing Village ordinances pertaining to the
selection of the Chairman of the Board
of Zoning Appeals were not in. conformity with the Statutes, which provide
that the Chairman shall be appointed,by the President with the advice and
consent of the Board. Trustee Forrest suggested a study be made of all
Boards and Commissions. Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee
Forrest, that the Plan Commission be requested tp hold a public hearing
on an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance for the appointment of the Chairman
of the Board of Zoning Appeals as provided by Statute.
Motion carried unanimously.

to Safety Council installation of mercury vapor street
lights on Deerfield Road from Forest
Avenue to Wilmot Road, to replace the present incandescent lights, at an
increased cost of $577 per year for the 11 lights. Trustee Smith suggested
that an additional light be installed at Castlewood and Deerfield Road.
Trustee Schleicher stated he was not convinced that the mercury vapor
lights were necessary for this two -land residential street, or in kdeping
with the neighborhood. He pointed out that previous installations of the
mercury vapor lights were on East Deerfield and Waukegan Roads, both 4 -lane
highways. President Finney proposed the matter be referred to the Safety
Council and a decision made bfter their recommendation is received. The
Board concurred.

agreement with Kitchens of Sara Lee
for the treatment of the company's industrial wastes. A letter dated
October 18, 1965 was received from Sara Lee, requesting the Board to waive
the limitation of 2% of total sewage flow to a single establishment. The
manager stated the Board had in effect waived the Y/o limitation when the
permit was issued for the constructi-on of the plant, and he feared the
company might be unwilling °:o construct pre - treatment facilities if the
waiver were not given. He added it was his opinion that both Kleinschm -idt
and Allis Chalmers exceeded the 2/0 limitation.
Trustee Schleicher pointed out that the present Board could waive
the 2/0 limitation by contract, but could not take action that would bind
future Boards. He suggested a waiver be included in the proposed agree-
ment covering the period November 1, 1965 to October 31, 1966, which
could be extended by a supplemental agreement.
Trustee Smith moved that the 2% limitation be waived, as requested
by Sara Lee. Motion failed for Hack of a second.

agreement be amended to include a w& ver of the 2/0 limitation, to expire
October 31, 1966. Adopted by the following vote:

should be adjourned to Monday, October 25, 1965, for consideration of th+
revised Sara Lee sewage agreement, and the manager should convey to Sara
Lee the Board's willingness to negotiate on the extension of the waiver
of the 2% limitation.

of conduits.
The manager reported Wigert Construction Company had been notified
by Baxter and Woodman that sewage treatment plant lagoons and chlorination
facilities must be completed by October 30, 1965, and the company' s progress
had been unsatisfactory. The manager stated Mr. Wigert had assured him
the work would be completed by the contract date, except for some painting
and finishing touches. The Board agreed to extend the completion date to
November 8, 1965 for these finishing touches.
Re: Greenwood Sidewalks The manager reported the seven property
owners who had been asked to dedicate
an additional 7 ft. fro construction of sidewalks on Greenwood Avenue had
refused, and were opposed to construction of the walks at this time. President
Finney stated the Board would proceed with plans for a public hearing on the
project with construction of sidewalks within the present sight -of -way.

recommending that: sidewalks be
constructed on Alden and Clay Courts leading to the Maplewood School;
an ordinance be adopted requiring installation of sidewalks on streets

and a speed survy in King's Cove Subdivision.
Discussion was had on sidewalks on streets leading to schools. Trustee
Raff urged that the Board make every effort to work out construction of walks
on a cash basis, and proposed that on corner lots, the property owner pay
the full cost for the walk across the front of the property, but the Village
pay two- thirds of the cost of the srde yard walk.
The Building Commissioner was directed to prepare plans and estimates
of costs for the walks recommended by "'ie Safety Council.

would cost approximately $10,000 - $15,000.

discussed at a later date.
