Resignations - BZA Peyronnin t Michaels Zoning Appeals. Appointments to fill next meeting. President Finney reported that Messrs. Joseph Peyronnin and Carl Michaels had resigned from the Board of the vacancies will be made at the Attorney to Prepare Order In connection with liens on all property Old Hovland S/A in the Hovland Subdivison resulting from the first Hovland Special Assess- ment proceedings, the Village attorney reported the order of dismissal entered by the Court was not satisfactory to the Title Company. He suggested that a more complete order of dismissal be prepared to be signed by Judge Hulse. Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the Village attorney be authorized to prepare the order, as proposed. Motion carried unanimously. Approve Start Hovland S/A A lengthy discussion was had on the proposed special assessment for the installation of water, sanitary-)addsstorm sewer mains in Hovland Subdivision. It was the consensus of the Board that most of the residents favored the proposed improvements and the rezoning and development of 12,000 sq. ft. lots on a block to block basis, with full subdivision improvements to be installed when properties are subdivided. A resident who had attended the meeting on Hovland improvements stated she had heard complaints of storm water flooding with damage to gravel roads, which was alleged to have been caused.by Village construction. Trustees Raff and Schleicher asked that Village employges check storm water drainage in the spring to see if Village should take corrective action. Trustee Smith moved, seconded by Trustee Wetzel, that the Board show intent to proceed with the revised Hovland special assessment, details of rezoning and other matters to be worked out at a workshop meeting at a later date. Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (6) Nays: None (0) President Finney stated that the Board had no desire to take arbitrary action on the Hovland improvements, but after three meetings with residents, it was felt the proposed improvements were reasonable and a majority of the owners were in favor of the plan. He proposed a discussion W meeting with the Plan Commission on January 31st to work out details of rezoning and resubdivision. Discussion McGuire Resub. Trustee Forrest stated the preliminary plat of the McGuire Resubdivision had been approved on the basis of the Plan Commission report which stated that all lots met,-all ordinance requirements. The sketch prepared by Mr. Bowen showed that the four existing lots are non - conforming with frontages less than the required 75 feet. Mr. Houpt stated that under ordinary circumstances, all lots in a subdivision must comply with all applicable ordinances, but the Subdivision Ordinance did not provide for this type of subdivision, w th four non - conforming lots resubdivided to creat a fifth lot meeting present requirements. Trustee Forrest expressed the opinion that the approval of the tentative plat should be withdrawn, and the proposed plat be sent to the Board of Zoning Appeals, since a precedent might be established by approval of the McGuire Resubdivision without a public hearing. Trustee Raff concurred. Trustee Schleicher suggested that a policy be adopted to require a public hearing on all subdivisions that are not specifically covered by the Subdivision Ordinance. Mr. William.McGuire, 1225 Oxford Road, presented a letter signed by 11� seven property owners whose lots adjoinf-or are across the street from the d'{ proposed subdivision. They stated they had no objection to the subdivision. W The question of the utility easement running through the center of the new lot was brought up. Mr. McGuire stated he had ditcu�sed this matter with the electric and telephone companies, and there would be no problerp. After further discussion, Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the Board withdraw i-ts approval of the preliminary plat and it be sent to the Board of Zoning Appeals for review and recommendation. The motion failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: For:@$t, Raff, Schleicher, (3) Nays: Craig, Smith, Wetzel, Finney (4) The Board approved Trustee Schleicher's suggested that the manager be directed to refer the questions arising from the McGuire Resubdivision to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Plan Commission for study and recommendations for the clarification of pertinent ordinances. The meeting was recessed at 9 :50 and re- convened at 10 :00 p.m., with all members present. Epprove Lake Cab Co. License An application was received from Lake Cab Company for a taxicab license. Discussion was had on a proposed taxicab ordinance. In connection with the requirement for taximeters,.the manager stated Highland Park was considering a new taxicab ordinance. It was the consensus of the Board that if Highland Park will require taximeters, Deerfield could require them also, since the cabs are licensed in both municipalities. Zone rates were suggested as an alternative to taximeters. Trustee Craig suggested that the Highland Park ordinance be reviewed for the purpose of establishing similar requirements insofar as possible. The manager will check with Highland Park and report at the next meeting. Trustee Craig moved, seconded by Trustee Smith, that the application of Lake Cab Company be approved and the license be issued, subject to meeting all ordinance requirements.

Agreement Blietz' attorney had sent the draft of the agreement pertaining to the' conditions for approval of the addition to King's Cove Subdivision. Dis- cussion was had on the oral agreements heretofore made with Mr. Bruce Blietz, with partH ular reference to the easement provided for access to the pedestrian bridge. President Finney left the meeting at 10 :25 and returned at 10:35 p.m. Trustee Wetzel moved, seconded by Trustee Craig, that the Board not reconsider the agreement with Mr. Blietz regarding the easement across the rear of Lots 44 and 45 to provide acess to the bridge. Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (5) Nays: Raff (1) President Finney pointed out that additional ease ments for access to the school had not been discussed in the negotiations with Mr. Blietz, and if the matter were re- opened, the Board could be faced with a piecemeal development of the tract. Trustee Smith moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the Board not reconsider the agreements heretofre made with Mr.. Blietz in connection with the proposed subdivision. Adopted by the followi:ng,vote: Ayes: Craig, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (4) Nays: Forrest, Raff (2) The manager was directed to notify the Board of Education of School District No. 108 of the Board's action.

Houpt, to institute condemnation pro- ceeding for the acquisition of the Broege property, commonly known as 802 Deerfield Road. The ordinance was read in full.

Decision was made that the matter be referred to the Parking Committee for its recommendation on the next steps to be taken to imple- ment the plan. Accept Easement Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee from Presbyterian Church Schleicher, that the Board accept the easement granted by the Presbyterian Church for a street ri)ght -of -way across the rear portion of the Church property. Adopted by the following vote: 31 Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (6) Nays: None (0) Reports - Communications The manager reported that he had been informed that application forms for Federal Grants for :the financing of public wooks were not yet available. Trustee Craig stressed that inquiries on grants were for informational purposes only at this time. The manager reported that Mr. Bruce Frost, Supervisor of West Dderfield Township, had asked if the Board was interested in having any portion of the Village served by sewerage facilities being contemplated b},.'the :-County. It was the consensus of the Board that the manager tell Mr. Frost that the Board is not interested and sees no need for the use of County facilities at this time. Trustee Raff suggested that consideration be given to the construction of an elevated water storage tank near the High School, which would not be far from the existing pumps in Highland Park, rather than an underground reservoir. The money saved could be used for the purchase of a gas or diesel standby power unit at Highland Park, and thereby insuring a water supply under M all conditions. The manager stated any savings would be.:nullified by the cost of a 12 inch main, and the reservoir was needed on the west side of the r}+ Village. He added that Dr. Sundin had stated that a reservoir of 2 to 22 W million gallons was more economical underground. President Finney asked U the manager to discuss Trustee Raff's suggestion with Dr. Sundin. U A letter was received from the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals giving notice of a hearing on January 28, 1966 on the petition to rezone the southeast corner of Saunders and Deerfield Roads from the R -2 to the B -1 classification, to permit the construction of a gas station; and a hearing on January 31, 1966 on the petition of Baxter Laboratories to rezone a 140 acre tract lying between the Toll Road and Saunders Road extending north from County Line Road from a residential to the 1 -1 classification. Discussion was had on the petitioned rezonings. Resolution Opposing B -1 President Finney reported the Village of Zoning -SE Corner Saunders Riverwoods would oppose the rezoning for L Deerfield Rds. (R -66 -1) a gas station, and the President of Riverwoods had expressed the hope that the Village of Deerfield would also file an objectiori. Trustee. Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that a resolution be adopted objecting to and protesting against the rezoning of the southeast corner of Saunders and Deerfield Roads to 0613-1 classification for the following reasons: spot zoning; detrimental effect on adjacent properties; availability of other gas stations; increased traffic hazards to school children who are bused to and from the location; and the rezoning is not in conformance with the new County Zoning Ordinance which designates the property as a Suburban Estate District. Adopted by the follow�,ng vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher , Smith, Wetzel (�i) Nays: None (0) A certified copy of the resolution will be filed with the County Clerk. Resolution Opposing 1 -1 A .lengthy discussion was had on the petition Rezoning - Baxter Labs. of Baxter Laboratories for an 1 -1 classification 11�66 -2 for the 140 acre tract hereinabove described. President Finney reported that the Village of Riverwoods had taken no official action on the Baxter proposal, but would probably adjourn their meeting for further consideration of the matter. He stated Riverwoods was concerned about the 1 -1 classification, rather than the company per se. The Village attorney stated that the 1 -1 classification west of the Toll Road would have little or no effect on property east of the Toll Road, since a good case could be made that the Toll Road is a barrier to the expansion of the industrial district. It Was the consensus that the 1 -1 classification should be opposed. Trustee Wetzel suggested that the resolution opposing the 1 -1 rezoning should also state that it is not the intent.of the Village to oppose the use and classification of the subject property as an OR district. 32 Trustee Schleicher moved, Resolution be adopted objecting of the 140 acre tract to the 1 -1 Laboratories, but it is not the classification for the property; with the planned development of seconded by Trustee Forrest, that a to and protesting against the rezoning classification as requested by Baxter intent of the Villgge to oppose an OR the 1 -1 classification being incompatible the area. Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (6) Nays: None (0) A certified copy of the resolution will be filed with the County C lerk.

Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (6) Nays: None (0) Accept Clavinia Unit ##2 Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Underground Improvements Craig, that the underground improvements in Claviinia Subdivision Unit ##2, be acceptdd, as recommended by the Building Department. Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Smith, Wetzel (6) Nays: None (0) Reports - Communications The manager reported that a survey showed the capacity of the American Legion building to be 700 for the Pink Panther Dances, and 400 for the Web at the Presbyterian Church. Discussion was had on a Xerox photocopy machine, several models being suggested by Trustees. Trustee Schleicher proposed that no change be made in Village photocopy equipment until it can be shown-that savings would result. The matter will be given further study. The manager reported the Waukegan -North Chicago Transit Company's bas service to O'Hare Field was now in operation. The company has asked that the bus stop be enlarged. Trustee Craig stated he saw no need for any change in consideration of the few trips per day. The manager reported that Officer Paul Kaehler is ill and unable to work, and the Village will continue to pay his full salary until his accrued vacation and sick leave has expired. At that time, a disability pension vM be paid to him by the Police Pension Fund. The nager reported Kitchens 6f-Sara Lee had been billed $1,587 for sewer charges. Trustee Wetzel stated that at the time the budget for the Plan Commission had been approved, it di:d notccon,teModa,te the-type of endeavor now sponsored by the Plan Commission. He asked that all commissions and boards be advised that Board approval showld be sought for any unusual expenditure. President Finney stated that the Chairman of the Plan Commisston had spoken to him early in December about the project, and he had made no objection. Trustee Forrest asked the manager to continue his efforts to arrange a meeting with the Metropolitan Sanitary District people to discuss the brickyards. A letter from Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Christoph was read, in which they complained about the recent snow plowing which left a 4 foot pile of snow at their driveway entrance at 90 Evergreen. They stated the snow was still there except for the small amount they had been able to shovel away.in order to get in and out of the driveway. They said telephone calls, to the Village Hall had brought a Village employee and later the manager to their address, but little snow was removed. L7
