Atty's Letter & P.C. Report The Village attorney's letter dated July 13, 1967
Re: Glorioso: Planned Devel. was read, pertaining to the Glorioso Planned
Hovland Sub. Development in Hovland Subdivision, with a map
attached showing lots owned or controlled by
Mr. Gloriso, and lots owned by others who have agreed to pay their proportionate
share-of the cost of street improvements. Also shown were streets within or
adjacent to the Planned Development where lots were owned by persons unwilling to
pay for street improvements. The attorney reported that, in order that full
subdivision improvements be installed throughout the.area of the Planned Development,
Mr. Glorioso had agreed to construct full improvements on all streets subject to
the passage of a recapture ordinance requiring an owner to pay his proportionate
share of the cost of storm and sanitary sewers and water main extensions before
being permitted to resubdivide or connect to such improvements; and to install
street lights on signs on all streets on which his lots front. If owners are un-
willing to pay their propertionate share of the cost for street pavement, and it
becomes necessary for the Village to institute special assessment proceedings for
this purpose, Mrs. Glorioso has agreed to contribute $4,000 for each intersection,
or a total of $20,000 if all streets are special assessed.
The Plan Commission report dated June 6, 1967, recommending approval of
the proposed Planned Development, was read. Discussion was had on the construcd on
of improvements for lots not owned by Mr. Glorioso and whose owners are unwilling
to pay for street improvements. Mr. Glorioso stated he fully approved the statements

letter and the Plan Commission's report be accepted.

attempting to obtain the Underwriters' Laboratory property for flood water storage,
and may institute eminent domain proceedings. He added that the basis for the
