Public Works Report The report of the Public :Works Department
for the year 1972 was received from Public
Works Director Ed Klasinski, covering the Street, Water and Sewer Departments, and
giving cost analyses for spring clean -up, leaf removal, tree planting and Dutch
Elm disease control.
Mr. Klasinski said there was some difficulty in keeping reliable men for
sewer inspection and cleaning work; however, a new type of sewer cleaning machine
is available which he will see demonstrated at Glenview. If decision is made
to purchase this equipment., the work of inspection and cleaning can proceed more
rapidly and with fewer employees. Because time-is ':insufficient for Sewer Depart-
ment employees to make all necessary repairs to storm and sanitary sewers, he
will recommend in the Sewer Department.Budget that part of the work be done by
contract on a time and material basis. He is investigating chemical grouting for
sewers to minimize infiltration of storm water into sanitary sewers.',,H.e commented
b riefly on street maintenance and sewage treatment plant operations.
Trustee Neuman commended Mr. Klaskinski for his excellent report and the
fine work being done by the Public Works Department.

Re: West Skokie Drainage Dj,s,trict . CoinSSioners of the Hest, Skokie..Drainage District,
their attorney and engineers were present to
discuss plans for the improvement of the east drainage ditch. Mr. Johnson,-the
attorney for the District, stated an engineering report has been ordered which will
be completed within two or three weeks. Until this report and cost estimates are
received, there can be no determination on the scope of the improvement. The Com-
mission is considering the possibility of annexing the area to the north of the present
District, as well as the area between Deerfield and County Line Roads.
Mr. James Anderson, engineer, explained what would be covered in the engineer's
report, which will include studies on retention basins. He pointed out that flooding
problems can only be solved on a watershed basis. No major maintenance work has been
done for the past ten to fifteen years due to lack of funds, although the ditch was
cleared south of Deerfield Road to County Line Road to promote better flow in the area
under the jurisdiction of the defunct Union Drainage District. Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph,
Evergreen Court, asked the Commission to undertake removal of the material cleared
from the ditch, which was piled along the banks and is an eyesore.
Discussion was had on assessments for ditch maintenance and how they are spread.
The Board of Trustees indicated its desire to cooperate fully in supporting any
assessment for the improvement of the ditch. Trustee Stiehr stated the Village Board
is considering the possibility of advancing funds to the Drainage Commissinns after
Court approval of the assessments in order that work may be started before assessment
funds are collected.
President Forrest thanked the members of the Commission for attending the meeting.
Resolution Supporting Trustee Brust moved, seconded by Trustee Stiehr,
Union Drainage Dist. Assessment that the Resolution in support of the current
(R -73 -3) Union Drainage District No. 1 maintenance assess-
ment and special assessment proceedings,be passed.
Motion carried unanimously.
A certified copy of the Resolution will be sent to Mr. Stephen Katz, the
attorney for the Drainage District.
Re: County Storm Water A letter from County Board.member Mariellen Sabato
Detention Ordinance reported the Lake County Public Works Department
is preparing a Storm Water Detention Ordinance.
She has suggested to the Public Service Committee of the County Board that the
Committee recommend to Libertyville and Lake Forest that they enact such ordinances.
P.C. & BZA Reports - Gustie
Resub. Lots 131 & 132, Hovland
Authorize Ordinance
A report from the Plan Commission recommended
approval of the Planned Development of Lots 131 and
132, Hovland Subdivision, and the preliminary plat
submitted by Mrs. Pat Gustie, subject to construction
of sidewalks on Gordon Terrace; and Wilmot Road, dedication of the south 30 ft. of the
two lots for a future street, and posting bond or escrow to cover the cost of such
improvements.
A report from the Board of.Zoning Appeals recommended that a variation be
granted to permit a side yard.of three feet on the east side of Lot 1 of the proposed
G ustie Resubdivision provided a statement is incorporated in the ordinance that no
building may be constructed within 12 feet of the west lot line of the adjoining Lot 2.
Trustee Brust moved, seconded by Trustee Stiehr,that the recommendations of the
Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Board of Appeals be approved, and the attorney
iprepare the ordinance approving the Plan Development and a Covenant for the side yard
v ariation.
Trustee Stiehr questioned the requirement for a bond or escrow for a future
street extension at this time, since Lot 4 of the resubdivision is the rear portion
of Lots 131 and 132 and is unlikely to be built on as one lot. The posting of a
bond or escrow could be a condition for resubdivision of said Lot 4.
Trustee Stiehr moved, seconded by Trustee Brust, that the motion be amended
by adding the provision for bond or escrow be waived. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Brust, Neuman, Stiehr (3)
Nays: Kelm, Slavin (2)
The motion as amended was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Brust, Kelm, Neuman, Stiehr (4)
Nays: Slavin (1)

Trustee Brust suggested the Plan Commission be asked to comment on
the requirement for dedication and bond for a future street as a condition for
approval of a planned development. Mrs. Gustie stated that, if the dedication
is eliminated, she would be willing.to give a covenant to dedicate the 30 ft.
if the Board later determines a street should be constructed through the center
of the block.
Trustee Kelm requested that a_,copy-,of- the plat be supplied with the
Plan Commission's recommendations on subdivisions.
