TREASURER'S REPORT Finance Director Geo. Valentine discussed
his previously distributed report. He
stated that nothing unusual had occurred except that sales tax receipts were
continuing to pick up, and that due to a cold but dry June, water receipts had.
shown a 13% increase over the same period last year. Following a short dis-
cussion, Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Marty, to accept the
Treasurer's report. Motion carried unanimously.
DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES Public Works Director Edmund Klasinski
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT was present to answer. Board inquiries re-
garding his previously submitted report on
departmental objectives. Discussion of street problems ensued wherein Mr. Kla-
sinski reported that.streets had suffered extensive damage last winter, consid-
erably more than during the previous winter. Responding to inquiry by Trustee
Seidman about the "cracked and poor condition" of the intersection at Deerfield.
and Waukegan Roads., Mr. Klasinski stated that.heavy traffic and a poor 50 -year-
old sub base contributed to the problem; but that use of the new rubberized
crackfiller would result in marked improvement.
Mr. Klasinski called the Board's attention 'to the addendum to his report which
related ,to the Greenwood Avenue flooding problems on- which.his department has
been working -for a considerable time.(1120 manhours since April 30, 1982). He
noted -that work.had been delayed due to the necessity of acquiring additional
easement footage along the creek in order to replace a sanitary sewer, between
Hazel and Cherry Street, needed to correct Greenwood'Avenue flooding.
He reported that when three inches of rain fell in about forty -five minutes on
July 13, 1982,.sewer systems were overtaxed. This,.coupled with electrical power
outages at many points in the Village, resulted in one lift pump and many sump
pump failures which caused basement flooding in many homes, some for the first
time. He stated that on most streets, the storm sewer inlets and drains are
designed to handle a 5 -year rain but not the 50 -year rain on July 13th. He ex-
plained that when streets become inundated by water, it runs down the pick holes,
through the rings and open joints in the streets, thereby surcharging the sani-
tary sewer system, which causes a back -up into basements or a flow into the
streets.
Mr. Arthur Meltz, 326 Kingston Terrace (at the corner of Beverly P1.), stated
that his home has flooded on and off over a period of years, even after ordi-
nary rains. He added that after the July 13th rain, there was evidence of a
sanitary sewer back -up into his basement. He.firmly stated that the situation
calls for drastic action.
Regarding Mr. Meltz' report, Mr. Klaskinski stated that the Beverly Pl. sewer
has been cleaned, and that work to clear the entire tributary ;wqs in process.
He noted that no collapsed pipes had been found, but than the,skwer system
1
1
r--
I,
in that'area (the Tackett subdivision) had been installed in the early 1920s,
when oakum and mortar joints were used, and can be suspected -of leaks. He
stated that the'area'should be gone over systematically, logging and repairing
each leak as .found. Smoke and dye tests will be made and infiltration will
probably be found at every joint of the old system. Mr. Klasinski was in-
structed by Mayor Forest to keep after the problem and report periodically to
the Board.
95
Mr. .Louis Silberman, 1216 Wincanton, stated that he has flooding "problems due
to the fact that Deer Park Court (to his west) is about eight.feet higher than
his rear property line. Rain gutters and sump.pumps on four.Deer Park Court
properties discharge water, onto the ground which runs down across his property
(sometimes to a depth of five inches) into his stairwell and basement. He stated
that all his neighbors on the west side of Wincanton are plagued with the same
problem.
Mr. Klasinski stated that usually in the case of unequal lot elevations, swales
are provided at the rear of'the lower level properties to collect and direct
the flow of surface water away from the homes. He did not know if swales had
been originally provided when the homes were built but later filled in by pro-
perty owners.
Mr. Geo. Hallam, 1216 Wincantoni, who lives across the street from Mr.'Silber-
man,urged that highest priority be given to solving the problem on the west side
of Wincanton which results in basement flooding on the east sidef �y surcharged
sanitary sewers..
i .Z
Mr. Klasinski stated that he and Village Engineeer Soyka would check out
the area,submit,a report to the Manager for Board review within two weeks,and
keep the citizens who.spoke informed.
r
TOWN & COUNTRY BUILDERS_ Mgr. Franz stated that a- public hearing had
MARSHALL /MENNENOH PROPERTY been held by the Plan Commission on June 24,
1360 & 1422 WAUKEGAN.ROAD 1982 to consider a revised plan for the
PLAN COMM..REPORT /RECOMMENDATION property at 1360 and 1422 Waukegan Road.
The Plan Commission recommended, on a vote
of 4 to 1, that the subject property*be rezoned from R -1 to R -5 and a Special
Use for a Planned Unit Development be granted, subject to'the following condi-
tions: 1) the petitioner (Homeowner's Assn.) enter into an agreement with the
Village whereby all of'the regulations pertaining to public streets, includ -,
ing overnight parking,'fire lanes,.etc. can be enforced by the Deerfield Police
Department on the internal private street, '2) the medians proposed for the
two entryways should not'be permitted, 3) the curvatures of the internal street
in the southwest area of the proposed development should be redesigned to the
satisfaction'of the Fire Department, 4) the petitioner adjusts the siting of
the units so that the driveway areas ofthe units on the easterly side.of the
road are at least the minimum required by the zoning ordinance, and that the
units on the westerly .side are set back far enough so that a pedestrian could
walk across the driveway areas without stepping out into the street.if he was
walking on the sidewalk, and 5) a sidewalk must.be provided on the west side of
the internal road. A carriage walk would be acceptable..
Trustee Marty asked Mr. Johannesen, Vice. Pres. of Town and County Builders,
if the Plan Commission recommendations were acceptable to him. He said they
were except for -item 5 which was not exactly as he had remembered. A dis-
cussion.ensued on- the - advisability of internal carriage walks as against walks
interspersed between homes and leading directly to Waukegan Rd. Trustee Seid-
man was particularityinterested.in the siting of the units far enough back
from the street so as to. permit a pedestrian to walk past a driveway having a.'
car parked on it without having to step into the street. Mr. Johannesen stated
that whereas their original request was for a variation to allow a 20 -foot
setback, they.are now providing a 25 -foot set back for all units which will
permit space for walking between the rear of a parked ,car and the street.
Trustee Ehlers' asked about the topographical aspects of the property, especially
the southwest corner'which he feared could become-undesirable-without proper
drainage. Mr. Johannesen stated that that corner was about eight feet higher
than the.rest of the site and will drain into the detention area and thence to
the storm sewer systems.
Trustee Heisler asked Village Engineer Soyka to explain the topography and''the
surface drainage. Mr. Soyka stated that the drainage was generally. from .the
southeast cornea to the northwest, the lowest pocket being the retention area.
Drainage will be.directed to the railroad.right -of -way ditch which flows north-
ward to a large culvert which crosses under Waukegan Rd.. north of the Northwoods
Drive area and proceeds to the creek; none of the drainage water will enter the
96
Northwoods Drive area, He added that there are fifty -five homes tributary to the
Northwoods Drive sanitary sewer and that fifty -six additional-units from the pro-
posed development would result in a sewage flow of less than 25% of the total
capacity of the sewer. He did not anticipate any problems with the sewer due
to the Town and Country development. He stated that a check with the public
works department showed that there were no sanitary sewer back -ups in the
Northwoods Dr. area during the past heavy rain.
Trustee Ehlers asked about visitors' parking space. Mr. Johannesen replied that
besides one garage space, each unit would have one driveway space. Additional
intermittent, not•overnight, parking would be permitted on one side of the
street ... about twenty parking.spaces. He added they favored an agreement with
the Village to have all traffic ordinances enforced within the. development.
Trustee Seidman asked whether the curves of the street met with the fire depart-
ment's approval. Mr. Johannesen replied that he•was not certain the fire depart-
ment had seen the latest drawings, but he assured the Board they would be able
to accommodate the fire department's wishes. Trustee Seidman further asked why
a 28 -foot street instead of a 25 -foot street had not been planned. Mr. Johanne-
sen stated that'he did not think it necessary, but if necessary, he would put
in a street 28 -feet wide.
Mr. Michael Swartz representing the majority of the Plan Commission discussed
the conditions for approval recommended by the Plan Commissions. He stated
that the Plan Commission had sought a walk on the west side of the internal
street. He pointed out that the 25-foot street improvement does not meet the
village requirement of 28 -foot streets or construction specifications. He
asked Mr. Johannesen to explain the median shown in the roadway. Mr. Johanne-
sen stated that'it was planned to save a 20 -inch ash tree. Mr. Schwartz ob_
served that it must be approved by the fire department. .Mr..Schwartz stated .
that the proposed development meets density specifications and that the Plan
Commission, considering the Comprehensive Plan's goals for Deerfield to pro -.
vide diversity of housing types while preserving the single- family nature of'.
the-.Village, felt the development conforms.
Mr. Joseph Koss, Plan Commission member, read his minority report wherein he
stated that he opposed the development for two reasons:
Safety: 1) Waukegan Rd., at this point, has a slight curve which creates
an almost blind view for those people trying to exit or enter
Northwoods Dr., 2)two "additional entries as proposedredmpound this
problem, 3) an extension of Northwood Dr, and signals is the answer
to minimize risks of property damage and to protect /schoolchildren
on foot or bicycle.
R -5 PUD Zoning: 1) such zoning is not compatible. br harmonious with those pro -
perties to the east, 2)'. the density requested creates a beehive of
dwellings, 3) such heavy use could be understood in blighted areas,
but questioned as an invasion of a predominateiy R -1 District call-
ing for a more orderly.transition, 4) the suggested sales prices
are.one -third lower than those.valuation of properties contiguous
to the area petitioned, and 5) the Mennenohs' desire -for maximizing.
their potential gain can be accomplished by cutting the density
in half, allowing the development to take full advantage of the park
like atmosphere that this property affords, and upgrading. the plan,
thereby preserving the same overall tax base and sales price as pre-
sented.
Letters opposing the development were received from Mr. George Wiley and Mr. E.C.
Huber of Northwoods Drive.
Mr. Steve.Pokorny, 901.Northwoods Drive, President of the Northwoods Drive Road
Assn., stated that Town and Country Builders' petition was opposed for many
reasons. He stated that Sec. 13.10 -5 of the zoning ordinance required that the
Plan Commission not recommend a PUD admendment unless it finds such to be in the
public interest and not solely for the interest'of the applicant. He submitted
that each Board member could probably find some community benefit in the appli-
cation, but he found that everything heard had been from the developer and gen-
erally for the landowner and developer. Citing Section 12.1 -5 which provides
that a PUD must be of'the nature so planned as, to create no material, detri-
mental effect upon surrounding communities, he submitted that no traffic con-
trols are planned and Northwoods Dr. is a dangerous intersection due to lack
of visibility. He further stated that the proposed development had insufficient .
street parking, and that children would have to walk south to Greenwood Ave.
(where there is traffic light) to cross Waukegan Rd. to go to school.
Stating that Sec. 12.1 -5 requires that a development shall not endanger public
health, 'safety, and welfare nor diminish or impair property values in the area
where it is to be located, he was of the opinion that the "development obviously
does all these things." He noted that the Comprehensive Plan speaks of a railroad
over or underpass for the benefit of children and that it mandates low to medium
density. He opposed the proposed density and submitted that four to six units per
acre would provide room for parking, sidewalks, etc. with the possibility of pe-
titioning the State for traffic - controls.- He added, "We know he can't do this,
because it's. not economically viable for him to do so. Then for whose benefit
is.the proposal being made?" Referring to Section 12.1 -6 he stated that a PUD
is to be planned in regard to adjoining uses and a through system so that traffic
congestion will not be created, He noted that'the proposed roadways are not an
extension of.Northwoods Dr. and there is no possibility of a traffic light."
Trustee Marty pointed out to Mr. Pokorny that references to under or overpasses
for children referred,to use of the property for recreational purposes. Also,
she stated that there is no possible way that traffic warrants could be met to.,
permit a traffic signal to be put. in at Northwoods Dr. even if the street of
the developmentlined -up with Northwoods Drive.
Mr. Bob Collins, 914 Northwoods Dr., objected to an increase of a "dense traffic
problem.
Mr. Bud Bergmann, 919 NorthwoodsDr., requested that the Board -delay its decision
on the proposal in order that the residents could.present a "positive,. alternate
plan for use of the property." He stated that the proposed retention.area for
the proposed development had been filled by the previous week's hard rain, but
was completely empty. the next day. He asked where the water.-had gone, since the
proposed'drain system had not been installed. He objected to police patrolling
of traffic in the development as he feared it would spread their patrolling of
other areas too thin. He submitted for Board review a Saturday and Sunday, -
June 11 and 12, 1982, Chicago Sun Times advertisement of single family homes
offered by Town and Country Builders in another Chicago suburb. He asked why
they were proposing quadrominiums for Deerfield if single family homes are eco-
nomically feasible elsewhere.
Mr. Michael McDonald, 1460 Northwood Dr., entered his objection to R -5 rezoning,
which he termed spot zoning due to the R -1 zoning across the street and'a R -3
adjoining area.
Mr. Al Zelent, 941 Northwoods Dr.,.presented pictures of his flooded property
in the Spring.
Mr. Bill Sanke, 1440 Northwoods Circle, presented pictures of water standing in
the area of the proposed retention basin immediately following the previous week's
rain. He stated he feared the water would make its way through-sub soil under
Waukegan Rd. to the Northwoods Dr. area. He thoroughly disagreed with the belief .
that the children of Deerfield residents and'the employees of Deerfield businesses,
and various governmental agencies should have housing they can afford. provided in
Deerfield. While he agreed with their right to live in Deerfield, he submitted
that he and many others had only been able to afford their present homes after
a succession of homes elsewhere which were more moderately priced. He stated
that the 2- entrance development,which he-expects to generate.110 cars,will only
exacerbate the already hazardous.traffic situation existing presently at North-
woods Dr. and Waukegan Rd. He submitted that if homes facing to business
establishments and railroad tracks on Waukegan Rd. have � fair market value of
$135- 170,000, a more expensive type of condominimums could be built facing those
homes. He told the Board, "I don't think you're getting the-.type of quality pro-
ject which other developers have told me the property justifies....because . it is
beautiful."
Mr. Bob Mackin, 906 Northwoods Dr., stated that had been under the impression,
from reading the Comprehensive Plan, that the Park District.was interested in
reserving a piece of the property or having a.piece dedicated, but upon checking
with a Park.Board 'member, the Board.had not been approached. He was concerned
about four lots contiguous to the proposed development. - He..feared the owners
might'petition, for commercial zoning since no way had been provided in the pro-
posed plan by which they could.be connected to the residential property. He
questioned the Plan Commission's approval of the development as he felt three or
four elements did not "jibe with zoning restrictions" as he understood them.
Mrs. Lillian Marshall, one of the owners, of the property proposed for.development,
stated that the four parcels of land concerning Mr. Mackin,.were owned,by her
and were included in the proposed plan. She also stated that there was nothing
unusual about the water standing on the property after the torrential rain of
the previous week; throughout the entire Village, individuals (including herself) ,
who had never had water or flooding before had experienced excessive water on
their properties.
�O
Mr. Jim Hughes, 1167 N. Waukegan Rd.', told the Boar
site which had been designated for multi - family .had
family. He believed that single family development
was economically feasible. He noted that six acres
Deer Park, may be up for development in the future.
.r
i that the. old high' school

Trustee York stated that it was a matter of'record that..he had been originally
opposed to the development as he had no knowledge,of.the.developer or the quality
of his projects. He had also objected to the original 76'units as creating too
great a density and had stated that he would not vote for a unit more than the
Comprehensive Plan stipulated. However, they have reduced the number of units
to a bit less than stipulated.
He stated that the Comprehensive Plan had been revised to permit the proposed
density in the area. He added, "I happen to believe that.we do'need other kinds
of housing besides 4- bedroom houses..... I. believe future residents will say it
was a big mistake'to have only one kind of housing in Deerfield..... The trend
throughout the'United'States is for smaller .living . quarters because.of the cost."
He stated that he had done some research on the developer's.projects in other
areas by visiting and inspecting them. He added that he had inspected occupied'
homes as well as houses in varying stages of construction. He saw grassy retention
areas and well landscaped areas. He inspected details in bathrooms,.in closets,
around doors,,and the general atmosphere. He went on to say, "I was frankly
impressed .....I.believe.the_proposed'development, when completed, will not be.
the terrible thing feared by some residents."
He stated that while he had originally been concerned about "drainage because
he had not understood clearly what was proposed until a".week ago,'he is.now
convinced that "not'one drop'of water is going to cross Waukegan Rd from
this development when finished." He.added that obviously Northwood Drive
has a wa.ter'problem, a problem which will continue until the.reside.nts do
something about it (storm sewers have never been :installed in Northwoods Drive)._
Addressing residents present, he stated, "I pledge to-you that you will have no
drainage problem greater than you now have."
Thereforej'Trustee York moved, seconded by Trustee, Seidman' to .accept the recom-
mendation of the Plan Commission to rezone the property at 1360 and 1422.Wauke-
gan Rd. from R -1 to R -5, grant a Special Use PUD, and instruct the attorney to.
prepare the necessary ordinance..
Mayor Forrest stated that he would like to urge the Board to vote against the
proposition.. He went on to say that.he had sat through a.number.of revisions of-
the Comprehensive Plan while serving on the Village Board, and that the final
version adopted.in 1979.says:
The Village will consider proposals for.this property.consistent with the'..
following and all other applicable recommendations included in the Plan:
1. Recreation Area Reserved
The Village will-.support the Park District in its desire to reserve a:,
portion of this property for recreational purposes.
2.. Limited Uses
Expansion of the commercial uses to the I north, or the addition of other
non- residential uses is'not recommended. This type.of. development would
be inconsistent with.the low- intensity uses along Waukegan Road north of
the Village Center. The'uses preferred are low or medium density housing
or both' in combination with the'park'site mentioned above.,'(Mayor Forrest's
emphasis).
3 Unified Site Plan
.......This is particularily important regarding interior circulation,
access to Waukegan Rd., and the planning of the recreation area, and the
orientation of the buildings to one another.
Mayor Forrest stated that he had personally voted on the Comprehensive Plan, and .
that when he had read these particular paragraphs, it was his understanding that
the Park District was interested in a park, and that a recreation use along with
housing would be the recommended and acceptable development. He added, "If the
Park District is no longer interested in the site, and I don't know if they are
since they haven't been offered it, I believe we never contemp:lated the kind of
density.proposed.for this particular development. It's far too dense, and it's
the first.development I have ever seen the Village consider and approve that will.
diminish the property values of many of the'.surrounding homes: I submit to the
Board that this is really what it should not.do,��
Mayor Forrest went onto say, "I am also concerned about safety. I personally
travel Waukegan Rd. every morning. It's very difficult to get out of Warwick
4
99
and Westgate. Roads. By adding two more entrances and exits I think we are compound-
ing the problem. I urge the Board to vote against'if.

SIGN'TYPES Mgr. Franz stated that after Mr.-Andrew
(SIMILAR TO 725 LAKE -COOK RD.) Jaffe had appeared before the Board on
STAFF REPORT /RECOMMENDATION July 6, 1982 requesting extension of the
use of a sign facing Edens Spur
at 725 take -Cook Rd., Staff had met at the'Board's request to consider such
signs. Staff recommended that if the sign is approved, it would be reasonable,
sometime in the future, to revaluate the conditions under which the petition
was granted.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee York, .to.permit continuation of the
sign at 725 Lake -Cook Rd.' facing the &hns Spur for a period of two years,
