of construction being $379,057.92. The ordinance was read in full. Trustee Raff

Ap2rove Deerbrook Sign As requested by the Board, Mr. O'Brien of the White -
Variations Authorize Way Sign Company presented a large photograph of
Preparation of Ordinance the Deerbrook Shopping Center with the proposed sign
and an automobile at the exit superimposed to scale
to show that no sight obstruction would result from the sign at the requested location.
Trustee Raff suggested that the sign be located on the south side of the driveway
and another on County Line Road. Trustee Craig agreed, and stated that a second
sign could be obtained by showing hardship. After a brief discussion, Trustee
Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Forrest, that the requested variations be
approved to permit the erection of the proposed double- faced, illuminated sign
364 square feet in area irn lieu of 180 square feet permitted by ordinance, 28
feet in height in lieu of 25 feet, to be located 5 feet from the property line

on the south side of the driveway rather than on the north sign as requested by
the petitioner, and the Village attorney be directed to prepare the ordinance
granting said variations. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Craig, Forrest, Raff (4)
Nays: None (0)
Report -Elm Tree Spray The manager submitted a report on elm tree losses
and types of spray used in nearby communities. He
stated that the. data gave no real guidance on DDT vs. methoxychlor, since elm
tree losses have been increasing each year throughout'-the North Shore area. He
pointed out that spraying parkway trees with DDT last year cost $1521, and estimated
that methoxychlor spray would cost three times as much. Discussion was had, and
Trustee Raff suggested that an ordinance be adopted to require the spraying of Km
trees on private'property, with removal of dead trees by'the Village if the spray
was not successful in preventing the loss of trees. The opinion was expressed that
removal of the dead trees would be too costly, and that An ordinance requiring the
spraying of elm trees could not be enforced. Trustee Raff then stated that if the
Village used methoxychlor, an ordinance should be adopted prohibiting the use of
DDT sprays. It was pointed out that bills have been introduced in the General
Assembly to ban the use of DDT.
Trustee Forrest stated that he had information,of elm disease and sprays
which he would make available to any interested Trustee. He asked the manager
to investigate what is done at Fort.Sheridan, where no elms have been lost.

thereafter.

hibiting the dumping of garbage within one mile of the corporate limits of a municipality;
SB 187 - an act prohibiting open dumps; SB 188 - an act prohibiting dumping garbage
from out -of- state; and SB 189 - State regulation of disposal sites. It was pbinted_.out:

priation would be required. It was the consensus of the Board that the bills should

President Finney reported that.the Notice of Hearing had been published
for consideration of the Master Plan on March 13th. He urged Board members to familiar-
ize themselves with the map before the hearing.
No Advisory Referendum Trustee Forrest proposed that an advisory referendum
On Master Plan be held at the general election on April 15th on the
adoption of the Master Plan as proposed. The only
additional cost for the election would be the ballots, shdubhe Board would learn how
the people feel about the plan. A lengthy discussion was had in which the manager
pointed out that the hearing on March 13th would afford people an opportunity to
express their opinon on all phaaes of the plan, and the Board would be abdicating its
responsibility to make decisions. President Finney pointed out that the Board can
change the plan in any way they may determine after the public hearing and final
approval of the plan. Several trustees expressed opposition to an advisory referendum.
In answer to Trustee Forrest's question of what legal precendents would be set by
adoption of the map with zoning changes shown; Mr. Stucko stated that the map would be
a guide line, and any pettion for rezoning or variations would be considered on the
basis of the Master Plan.
Trustee Craig stated that residents might vote against the Master Plan on the
basis that they were opposed to one part, such as the Blietz matter which is not part
of the plan. Trustee Forrest suggested that the ballot present several questions
pertaining to various parts of the plan in order that residents could indicate approval
of some parts and opposition to others.
Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that an advisory referendum
on the adoption of the Master Plan be held on April 15, 1969. The motion failed by
the following vote:
Ayes: Forrest (1)
Nays: Bootz, Craig, Raff (3)
Pass: Schleicher (1)
The manager was requested to arrange for a larger room at either the High School
or Shepard Junior High School for the March 13th hearing on the Master Plan.
In connection with the flooding problem in We -Go Park Subdivision, the
manager stated he had written to the Governor but had received no reply. Trustee
Forrest proposed that, if there is no reply by the next meeting, regrading be
done by Village employees to alleviate the flooding problem.
President Finney reported he had received a letter from the Deerfield Area
United Fund expressing thanks for being permitted to erect signs during the fund
raising drive.
Change Master Plan to Show Referring to a memorandum from the Village
Single Family for Blietz Tract manager regarding adoption of the Master Plan,
Trustee Forrest urged that the map show the
Blietz property as single family.residential as presently zoned rather than
no zoning with a recommendation in 90.days. The Board approved this suggestion
and the Plan Commission will be notified to change the map. President Finney
pointed out that if the plan is adopted, no change in zoning can be made within
six months unless it is approved by a two - thirds vote of the Trustees.
Mr. James Carmel of the Driafraood Vista Association stated he favored the
map change to show single family zoning for the Blietz property, since his area
is strongly opposed to the proposal for Townhouses which they understand will be
presented by Mr. Blietz, Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph stated she had attended many
meetings of-the Plan Commission, and it was her opinion that a plan is needed.
The President stated that the manager had submitted a report on the status
of Master Plans in nearby communities.
