ordinance to be published in pamphlet form.
Mr. William Tiedt, Del Mar ,,-Woods, a retired employee of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, spoke in opposition to the passage of any ordinance which would
prohibit the use of DDT type insecticides. He stated that the State of Wisconsin
had held public hearings on a proposed bill to ban the use of DDT, and testimony
had proved conclusively that the beneficial results in controlling pests such as
malarial mosquitoes, far outweighed any alleged hazards to animal, fish or bird
life. A representative from the Illinois Pest Control Association also urged
that the ordinance not be adopted, and stated that, at public hearings in Spring-
field, both the Department of Public Health and the Department of Agriculture had
asked that the continued use of DDT be permitted.
Upon roll call, the ordinance was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Avery, Kelm, Slavin, Turner (4)
Nays: Bootz (1)
The President signed the ordinance indicating his approval thereof.
Discussion -North Trail Sub. A petition was received from residents of
Drainage Problem North Trail Subdivision ..askingtthe,Village.to
take action to eliminate the rear yard
drainagpproblems.. It was their contention that the Village had an obligation
to homeowners to require a developer to install proper drainage facilities.
An engineer from the firm who had designed the subdivision improvements stated
that grading plans for the subdivision provided a swale to drain off excess storm
water, but the firm had no control over the construction of improvements or
grading. The developer stated that purchasers had been notified by letter not
to change grades which were rough graded according to plan, but the individual
owners were responsible for final grading and landscaping.
The building commissioner stated that he had inspected the area recently
and it was his opinion that the original rough grading done by the builder con-
formed tb plans , but grades were changed by the owners when "landscaping was
done and drainage problems resulted. Owners described conditions of ponding of
storm water, long continued sogginess of soil, ice in winter, with drainage
problems further compounded by sump pump drainage to rear yard areas.
The Village attorney left the meeting at 9:10 p.m., and was represented
thereafter by Mr. James Stucko.
One owner stated he had received and estimate of $1,745 for the installa-
tion of tile to the nearest storm sewer, a distance of 280 feet. Another stated
the builder had refused to do the rough grading in the rear yard because of
standing water and the work had to be done by his landscaper. It was pointed out that
ther.e::was settling after rough grading had been done by.the builder, and because
there had been no inspection by the Village, it was questionable whether proper
grades have been maintained. The requirement for grading plans was questioned If
there is no provision for inspection to insure compliance. Trustee Slavin proposed
that the Municipal Code be admended to require a builder to provide finished land -
sacping.
President Forrest stated the matter was a complicated one and any solution
should be carefully thought out. He directed the manager and building commissioner
to meet with the builder to work out possible solutions and estimates of costs.
The matter will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Hearing on Cab'Tiponse The notice of hearing was read on the appli-
Harry Starkweather cation, of Harry Starkweather, 444 Havenwood,
Highland Park for the issuance of a certificate
of public convenience and necessity for taxicabl service. Mr. Starkweather stated
that additional cabs were needed in Deerfield if good service is to be provided.
The standard for cabs is one per 5.;000 population, he said, and he would license
as many as the Board felt were desirable. He estimated that 15 cabs would be required
after people know that excellent service is available.
Trustee Schleicher entered the meeting at 9:20 p.m., and was present thereafter.
207
He said cabs would be metered with flat rates to the airport, and he would
establish a discount for senior citizens. Cabs would be radio equipped and will be
garaged in Deerfiel4 if a location can be found.
Mr. Charles Parsons of the Sunset Cab Company stated they operated four cabs in
Deerfield and were taking over two more previously operated by Lake Cab. He felt six cabs
were sufficient to provide service in Deerfield, but if the Board felt more were needed,
he asked that Sunset be given the opportunity to put more cabs in Deerfield before
granting a franchise to another company. The manager stated there had been a few
complaints from people who felt they were overcharged or who could not get a cabvighen,-they
wanted one.
Mr. Fred Barth stated he had been driving a cab in Deerfield for 15 years and
felt that good service was being provided. He said he had been driving for Lake Cab but
was changing to Sunset because the company had licensed more cabs and could give quicker
service. He was opposed to Aicensing another company since the present licensees can
handle the present volume of business and will put on more cabs if needed.
Trustee Bootz moved, seconded by Trustee Kelm, that a certificate of public convenience and
necessity be granted to Mr. Harry Starkweather. The motion failed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Bootz, Kelm (2)
Nays: Avery, Schleicher, Slavin, Turner (4)
pa The meeting was recessed at 9:50 p.m., and reconvened at 10:00 p.m., all members
present.
U
.Trustee Schleicher suggested that, since the Board had been given a general rule
of one cab per 1,000 population in the discussion of cab licenses, the Village attorney
be requested to prepare and.amendmenti: to the Municipal Code to establish the
number of licenses to be issued, based on population. He felt that such an amendment
might be helpful to the Board in determining whether additional franchises should be
granted.
Discussion -P.C. Report The Plan Commission's report on the Comprehensive
Comprehensive Plan Map Master Planning Map was read by the manager.
Trustee Kelm stated that"whed the Map had last been
discussed, the Board had asked for a text to accompany the map which would establish
ground rules for changes in present zoning which have,.beenpshown on the map, and the
supplemental report submitted by the Plan Commission did not-spell out these rules.
Mr. Werner Newman, Plan Commission member, stated that the report listed the changes
and described in general terms the new classification of O -R -M which is applied to
the property wouth of County Line Road. He stated that if the Board adopted the map
the Plan Commission would proceed with the preparation of a complete text spelling out
the conditions under which the rezoning would be considered. Several members expressed
concern about this procedure, pointing out that a developer could go into court
saying his development is in accord with the Village's Master Plan, and with no
qualifying text, the developer could claim he had relied on the map, the only information
available.
A lengthy discussion was had on the proposed map. Mr. Newman stated that the
Plan Commission had discussed each proposed change at great length, and recommended
that the map be adopted as being in the best interests of the Village if development is
as shown. He said the land south of bounty Line Road had been considered for both
residential and commercial development, but the O -R -M classification was deemed to be
the highest and best use of the land.
Petition Opposing O -R -M Mr. Charles Allen, 3 Pine Street, presented a
petttion signed by owners of property on County
Line Road, objecting to the O -R -M ciassification south of County Line Road. He stated
some owners had listed their homes for sale, but could not sell because of publicity on
the proposed use of t�e land. He also stated he had met with the Plan Commission to
discuss a frontage road along County Line Road for local traffic when County Line Road
is widened to four lanes, but this frontage road was not included on the Planning
Map, and he had received no further information from the Plan Commission on the matter.
Heeasked that this road be added to the map.
Table Plan Map for Joint Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee
Meeting with P.C. Turner, that the Planning Map be tabled until a
joint meeting with the Plan Commission can be
arranged. Motion carried unanimously.

League of Women Voters May 15th for the observation of the 50th anniversary

A letter from the Sanitary Water Board was received regarding the shut down
of filterrbeds for the construction of odor control domes, and asked what steps
would be taken to maintain maximum treatment during the shutdown. The manager stated

he had asked that Mr. Blietz be required to drain,: off the stagnant water which
results from the dumping of large piles of earth and debris on the Blietz
property immediately adjacent to his propprtyyand also the school. He stated
