Treasurer's Report The treasurer submitted his report for September
1977, including cash and investment statements,
detail expenditures by activity, revenue and expense statement, highlight control
report and cash flow statements.
The treasurer said that, although the second installment of taxes.would not
be billed until December, it was unlikely that tax anticipation warrants, would be
needed by the Village, but the Village Library would probably run out of funds in
November. Due to the lateness of the tax bills, substantial . interest will be lost,
A report from the Library Board will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Re: McDonald's A representative of McDonald's thanked the
Board and Plan Commission for'the cooperation
they have received in the construction of their new restaurant, The grand opening
will be on October 26 and the golden arch carry -out store will be closed. The new
restaurant has a fountain and several fireplaces and will be an asset to the com-
munity. It is planned to give contributions to the Ronald McDonald House in the
future. It was suggested that part of the site be set aside for a children's play-
ground as has been done at other McDonald's inasmuch as the site is larger than
required. Consideration will be given to this suggestion.
Public Hearing Re: Annexation Mr. Stucko said the Board of required to hold
3005 Lake -Cook Road a public hearing on the annexation, the pro-
posed rezoning to B- Business , and a Special
Use authorized for a restaurant at 3005 Lake -Cook Road and an Annexation Agreement
setting forth conditions and providing for the issuance of a liquor license for
consumption on the premises in conjunction with the operation of a restaurant.
Mr. Thomas R. Burney, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. William Sellas, stated
the Sellases were the beneficial owner of the property and proposed to build a two -
story French restaurant on the site. Mr. Sellas is an experienced restaurateur,
being the owner of Bon Vivant near Golf Mill.
Mr. Linnet, an urban planner, said the property is zoned residential, a
holding classification but is not suitable for residential use and the proposed re-
zoning will provide the highest and best use of the property. The building will
meet all requirements and will be oriented to the east and will have a landscaped
buffer from the noise of the Gun Club. 134 parking spaces with 27 foot aisles
exceed Village requirements and there will be valet parking of cars. The restaurant
will be an asset to the community and there will be no adverse effects. The
189
restaurant would be 28-feet in hei.ght:.and will be floodlighted with low key illumination
on the remainder of the property for valet parking. Mr. Sellas is asking for a full
pouring license but liquor will be served only with meals. The second story will be
used for banquets and will have only a service bar. There will be on -site retention of
storm water. The restaurant will have a 50 foot setback, or 80 feet from the paved
roadway. If a greater setback is required by the Board it should be in increments of
20 feet to make use of the site advantageously.
A large number of residents were present to oppose the restaurant. Objections
included the fact that the restaurant would have a major impact on the land in between
which most residents felt should be developed as Office and Research or Light Manu-
facturing. The proposed use would affect all homes on the north side of Lake -Cook Road
with noise from the restaurant late at night and on weekends, and increased turning
traffic. The Village is primarily a single- family residential town and a restaurant
with a liquor license is not in keeping with the character of the Village and could
bring about further requests for restaurants and liquor licenses. The restaurant could
be sold to an owner who would not be as conscientious as Mr. Sellas would be. It was
stated a land use planner should be consulted before the far - reaching rezoning is
contemplated and particularly since the Master Plan and an amended Zoning Ordinance will
be considered.
00 Mrs. Willard Loarie, Oxford Road, stated that people should be aware that the
CD record shows that the Plan Commission first discussed the restaurant on May 26, 1977
and there have been no changes in the neighborhood that would warrant a change to a
Business classification with a special use for a restaurant. This change would-con-
stitute spot zoning and could establish a strip development.
After further discussion, the hearing was adjourned at 9:55 and the meeting
reconvened at 10:10 p.m.

Ghan - Franzese Request -Coin A letter from Mr. Jairus Ghan (professionally
Operated Amusement Machines known as Jerry G. Bishop) and Mr. Ronald
DENIED Franzese requested an amendment to the Muni -
ipal Code to permit business establishments
to have coin operated amusement machines. Mr. Ghan stated both he and Mr. Franzese
have ties to the community and are interested in opening an establishment with a
clean wholesome atmosphere and that has no negative connotations. They propose an
operation similar to Glencoe's where the Chief of Police has written that there have
been few complaints. There are three establishments in Mount Prospect. Chief Brandt
has stated he would be interested in getting comments from other departments. He
asked the Board to grant them an opportunity to investigate and give more testimony
on coin operated amusement machines. They will work closely with Village officials,
the police, youth officers and other interested agencies to ensure their operation
is an asset to the community.
Discussion was had on this request and it was pointed out that similar requests
had been denied as not being of any advantage to Deerfield. Trustee Seidman said
a previous request had been for coin operated amusement machines in the bowling
alley, the ordinance was prepared and the vote was 3 to 4, the President casting
the deciding vote. Trustee Blumenthal said the machines seemed to him to be more
attractive as an incidental use rather than a storefront and he would probably vote
No.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Swanson; that'the request be denied.
Motion carried unanimously.
Approve $20 Fee per Animal Mrs. Gertrude Maxwell from Save -a -Pet requested
to Save =a -Pet an increase to $20 for each animal brought to
Save -a -Pet instead of the $5 fee now paid. She
said increased costs made this increase mandatory. She cited license fees and im-
poundment fees paid to the Village and said the $20 charge does not come from taxes
but from these fees. She introduced members of the organization who stated all dogs
are spared, are given rabies shots and spayed or neutered and are given such other
care as is required. She said other animal shelters often put dogs to sleep rather
than giving them the required care.
The manager said there is no question about Save -a -Pet being a reputable
organization and gives good care to animals but the fees charged by the Village do
not cover costs. Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph, Evergreen Place, said many dogs run at
large and suggested that license fees be increased.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Blumenthal, that the request
of Save -a -Pet for a $20 fee for each animal be approved.
Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance -Mun. Code Amend.

permit action on the ordinance at its first presentation. Motion carried unanimously.
