PRD - LIPOWICH Mr. Franz read the Plan Commission recom-
COdNTRY LANE mendation in regard to the petition of
Mr. Maury Lipowich for a Planned Residential
Development on property located between Gordon Terrace and Country Lane, west of
Birchwood Avenue. There was considerable discussion regarding the necessity for
the installation of a street, meeting Village standards, and other improvements.

enable Mr.•Lipowich to be present. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that the report of the Plan Com-
110
mission be accepted,,with the provision that Mr. Lipowich acquire the right -ef-
way from the owners of Lot #103 and that a full street and improvements be in-

KENMORE AND had been before the Board on August 21,
LAKE -COOK ROADS 1978, at.which time the matter was tabled.
In order for it to be considered, it would
have to be brought off the table. Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Heisler,
that the prior motion be laid back on the table. Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Seidman asked why the variations shown on the present recommendation
differed from those in the previous consideration. Mrs. Barbara Ruffino stated
that the present recommendation was based on a survey of the property yIhereas the
previous consideration was based on a sketch plan. After discussion, 'it was
apparent that dedication for street purposes was still needed from the owners of
Lots #96 and #97, plus money in escrow from Mrs. Porter for the street.and improve-
ments. Mr. Robert Moore, representing the petitioner, stated that their primary
purpose, was to secure an extention of time inasmuch as the one year time period
was about to expire. Unless it was extended, negotiations with the adjoining lot
owners would be difficult. They are pursuing the special assessment route for the
street
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Swanson, that the report of the Plan
Commission be accepted. which was for denial of the petition. On vote, motion de-
feated unanimously. Trustee Marty then moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman,
that the Attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance permitting a five lot,PRD,
with the variations now shown, provided a bond and escrow be provided and that
dedication be made for a full street. Motion carried unanimously.

TAX ABATEMENTS President Forrest pointed out that the
tax levy for 1979 contained an item of $68,000
for corporate personal property tax replacement. With the tax law revision, we
` _-'have received notification that we will receive approximately that amount from
;.the replacement tax. Rather than collect this sum twice, it is recommended that
$68,000 be abated.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, that the Attorney be directed
to prepare the ordinance abating $68,000 for the corporate personal property tax
item in.the 1979 Tax Levy Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.
In regard to the $2,000,000 bond issue for Wastewater Treatment Facility'improve-
ments, Finance Director George Valentine stated that it appears that this amount
of Village funds will not be needed. As the work is finalized and audited, we will
learn the amount of the actual Village commitment. As of this point, it appears
that the Village will have excess. funds in the amount of $150,000 to $200,000.
°.However,, some of these funds may be needed to complete the project. He therefore
recommended the abatement of $100,000 at this time. This is in addition to almost
$900',000' which has been abated in previous years. Trustee Marty moved, seconded

by Trustee Swanson, that the Attorney be directed to prepare the necessary
ordinance to abate $100,000. Motion carried unanimously.—
Trustee.Swanson asked that the Village Manager clarify the matter of signs for
the recycling center with the North Shore Ecology Center.
In response to a request from President. Forrest, Mr. Franz reported on a meeting
before the Board of Review assessments for West Deerfield Township. He stated
that he arrived at the County Building late, was misdirected to the hearing room,
and when he finally found the correct room, the hearing had ended. There appearec
to be no representation from Deerfield. He has since received a copy of a compute.
print out as to how the assessments are arrived at and will -study this material
with the Finance Director and report back to the Board.
Mr. Franz also reported that Village officials had met with the Human Relations
Commission, which had two requests to make. First, they would like a commitment
from the Board that the funds for Senior Citizen Housing Assistance will be con-
sidered for inclusion in the next budget at the same rate as presently shown.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Marty, that the amount of $30;000 be
considered for inclusion in the new budget for the purpose stated. Motion carried
unanimously.
t
The Human Relations Commission would also like the Board to endorse their idea
of awards for Outstanding Senior Citizens, to be awarded on Memorial Day together
with the Outstanding Youth Awards. Trustee Heisler moved, seconded by Trustee
Swanson, that the Board authorize the Human Relations Commission to implement
their plan for Senior Awards, and that the Village staff be authorized to-work
with the Commission in this program. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion was held on a request from the Deerfield Commons merchants for per-
mission to erect a banner advertising sidewalk sale days, said banner to be
erected over the Waukegan /Deerfield Road intersection. This would necessitate
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The Board decided to refer this matter
to the Village Center Development Commission for report and recommendation, on
motion of Mrs. Marty, seconded by.Mrs. Gavin, and passed unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the Board; Trustee Seidman moved,
seconded by Trustee Swanson, that the meeting be adjourned at 9:12 P.M.
