Report -We -Go Flooding Problem In connection with Wen-Go Park Subdivision flooding
problems and the proposed diversion of storm water
to the north along the Toll Road to Lake Eleanor, the manager reported that Charles W.
Greengard Associates had reported that additional storm water from a new subdivision in
Lincolnshire will be discharged into the west drainage ditch above Lake Eleanor and
tend to overload its capacity. Therefore any diversion of storm water to the north
from the We-Go -Pakk area will aggravate the problem. He stated that the new 24 inch
storm sewer to be installed on Wilmot Road will give some relief but the final solution
to the flooding problem will probably come when the Mailfald property south of We -Go
Park is developed. At that time an oversized storm sewer could be installed on the
Mailfald property to take part of the storm water from Forsythia Drive. The only other
alternative would be to install a second storm sewer on We- Go-Drive, which would be
costly and would require digging up landscaped parkways.
It was pointed out that the proposed Baxter development west of the Toll Road
would result in greatly increased flows of storm water through the culverts under the
Toll Road, and this should be kept'in mind. Mr. Richard Miller, 1114 Hampton, expressed
concern about flooded basements in his area and the school parking lot if the Board elects
to proceed with diversion of We -Go Park storm water to the north. He stated that the
Drainage Commission had directed its engineer to look into the effects of this diversion,
and the Commission had indicated its approval was necessary.
Trustee Bootz recommended that it be determined when-the Lincolnshire subdivision
will be developed, and if there is a delay of two or three years, it might be possible
to give some immediate, though temporary relief, by the diversion of part of the - ,storm
water to the north. The Board directed that this matter be put on the agenda for the
next meeting.
Report -Fox Chapel Improvements The manager reported that he had been unable to
arrange a meeting with Mr. John Glorioso regarding
the completion of improvements in Fox Chapel Subdivision, however, the Commonwealth
Edison Company had been directed to connect the street lights and they are now in service.
Only the landscaping of two cul -de -sacs and the parkway between the sidewalk and curb
on Waukegan Road remain to Eye completed. He will try to arrange a meeting with Mr.
Gloriosb to discuss the matter.
Ordinance -Union Oil Co. Variation The ordinance granting variations from the
Failed::to Pass front yard requirements of the Zoning Ordin-
ande with respect to the Union Oil Company
property at 836 Deerfield Road was presented for consideration. Mr. Link of the
Union Oil Company stated that an appraisal had been made for the 50' x 50' tract
at the northeast corner of the property which the Plan Commission had reoommended
be acquired in connection with the proposed re- location of Park Avenue, and the
company was not willing to dedicate this tract to the Village. He stated they had
no plans to utilize this area, and would be willing to negotiate with the Village
on price.

application for a building permit for the restaurant had been filed about two weeks
ago, and corrections made to bring construction up to Village requirements, but the
building permit had not been formally issued. Trustee Schleicher pointed out that
the proposed temporary sign was much larger a permanent sign permitted by the Zoning

ous and a sign of the size proposed would tend to restrict visibility. They asked
taht the Village require the installation of sidewalks adjacent to the Shopping

be tabled until the next meeting.

next meeting.
Mr. Robert Hart, 940 Cedar Street, a newcomer to the Village, stated that he had

local publications. Trustee Schleicher stated the stop signs were installed on the
recommendation of the Safety Council.

constituted a hazard. He stated the School Board was also concerned about this installa-
tion. Trustee Schleicher stated it was his opinion that the sidewalk on Deerfield Road
was poorly placed, and it may be necessary to-include the cost of relocAting'the'sidewalk
in next year's budget. The list of objections made by Mr. Marlatt with regard to
the installation of the traffic lights will be referred to the Safety Council.
