DEPARTMENTAL COMMENDATION FOR Mayor Forrest stated that in December, 1984
INVESTIGATOR MARK ANFENSON Investigator Mark Anfenson.identified a
crime pattern involving a series of burglar-
ies that occurred in Deerfield. The method of operation in these burglaries was
similar to those occurring in several surrounding suburbs. Investigator Anfen-
son, working closely with the Cook County Sheriff's Police and the Police Depart-
ments of Chicago and Mt. Prospect, identified, interrogated and arrested several
members of the Simon City Royals street gang. As a result of Investigator An-
fenson's diligent'efforts, several Deerfield burglaries were cleared, several
thousands of dollars in property was recovered, and a major burglary operation
was stopped.
Mayor Forrest presented Investigator Anfenson with a Special Commendation as
everyone heartily applauded.
DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES BY Police Chief Richard Brandt discussed his
POLICE CHIEF RICHARD BRANDT progress report on continuing objectives.
Criminal Activity ' Chief Brandt stated that there are fewer burglaries and
that for the first time in fifteen years, there were two months with'none...
February-and April. He noted that no burglaries have occurred after 11:00 P.M.
...attributable, in his opinion, to the currently active midnight shift which
is highly visible enforcing the,drunk driving laws. He added that the arrest
of three principal burglary gangs since December has had a significant effect.
.He pointed out that Deerfield is not a little island, but rather one of a grow-
ing group of police agencies who are cooperating more and more with each other
to exchange data on criminal activity... demonstrated by Investigator Anfenson's
award. Besides the department's policy of aggressive patrol and easily observ-
able cars, the active pursuit of any kind of a burglary investigation, until all
leads are exhausted, has proved successful.
Northern Illinois Police Alarm System (NIPAS) °.` Chief Brandt reported that NIPAS,
.of which Deerfield is one of nineteen community{ °members, has been called upon
twice. Recently after Park Ridge had initiated an alarm, responding units from
several communities helped to arrest fifty teenagers at a large drinking party
i
that had gotten out of hand and beyond the capabilities of the local police
department. He stated NIPAS is expecting an increase in new members and has
been working with fire departments (who have a similar system) in an effort to
coordinate reponse plans and establish responsibilities and authority at the
disaster scene.
Metropolitan Enforcement Group of Lake County (MEG) Chief Brandt reported that
MEG had probably had its most successful year. Their targets are drug pushers
rather than users, and they have been very successful in making the most ser-
ious cases Class X Felonies. Cocaine is the principal drug in the area and a
number of Colombians who have brought the drug into Lake County directly from
Colombia have been apprehended.
Bicycle Safety Mayor Forrest asked about the .police department's role in bicycle
safety since the discontinuation of the Bicycle Patrol. Chief Brandt replied
that all officers will be very much aware of the absence of the patrol and, there-
fore, the responsiblity is theirs. He expects them to be more active than in past
years.
Response Time Response time to emergency calls has been maintained under three
minutes but is becoming increasingly difficult due to increased traffic. The two
additional officers in the department may help, since they can be assigned to
areas likely to generate problems.
The Board asked about the percentage of DUI convictions. The Chief stated they
were running over 95 %, with about 10% involving other charges such as drugs,
stolen property, etc. Officers are very alert in looking for other things.
Asked whether the strong DUI emphasis had lessened patrol activities. Chief
Brandt replied that, on the contrary, they are increased. Anyone driving through
the Village After midnight will see at least two squad,cars. Trustee Marovitz
commented that such activity had an impact on the security of,r.esidents.
Mayor Forrest thanked Chief Brandt for his excellent report.
BEAUTY AND BARBER SHOPS
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT
PLAN COMM. REP. /RECOMM.
The Plan Commission recommended
Ordinance to permit beauty shops
in I -1 PUD's of 20 acres or more
On March 28, 1985 the Plan Commission con-
sidered the addition of beauty shops and
barbershops to the list of accessory retail
uses permitted in the I -1 District.
a further amendment to the text of the Zoning
and barbershops as „Special. Uses /Business Uses
(Article 6.1- 3,2,b) provided:
a. No advertising is done outside of the development complex in which the
facility is located. i
b. The facility's hours, of operation are restricted to weekdays.
c. The facility has no direct outside entrance.
Coils :idcr.abl.e di.scussi.on Followed regarding, the recommended restrictions on adver-
tising and weekday -only operations. Trustee Marovitz asked "What is the theory
behind limiting beauty /barbershops to operate weekdays only? Why r.ot,on week -
ends ?” Mrs. Barbara Ruffino, Village Planner, stated that these uses are acces-
sory uses only. Trustee Rosenthal added that they were not intended to oper-
ate in competition with other such business in the Village commercial districts
but were to serve only tenants of the office complex. Trustee Marovitz felt
that if the office complexes are open on Saturday, it would be a misuse of
zoning law. to deny a shop owner Saturday hours.. Trustee Seidman was of the
opinion that shops open weekends would invite people who would not ordinarily
be there, causing possible security and police problems.
Mr. David Ashe, Vice President of Matas Corporation, asked the Board to reconsider
the weekday restriction on shops. He stated that while Matas did not intend or
wish to service Villagers, a shop operator might find he could profitably serve
a number of office tenants who would be working Saturdays. He submitted that
Saturday mornings were generally considered part of "traditional office hours."
Trustee Rosenthal submitted that office workers will not wish to'leave the
complex during the week and will patronize complex beauty /barbershops rather
than go outside. On the other hand, someone living in the Village will not
necessarily wish to patronize an office complex shop. However, to permit shops
to remain open on Saturday will change the whole picture for residents. There-
fore, to make sure these shops are only accessory uses for office tenants and
not competing with other Village businesses, the Plan Commi$sion's recommendation
should not be changed. Trustee Seidman agreed.
Thereafter, Trustee Rosenthal moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, to accept
the Plan Commission's recommendation, and direct,preparation of an ordinance.
However, Trustee Marovitz moved, seconded by Trustee York, to amend the motion
by deleting subsections (a) and (b).
Trustee Seidman was strongly opposed to deletion of subsection (a)., feeling,
that advertising would attract people from outside the complex which would pose
a traffic and parking problem, thereby negating the original purpose of uses
for complex tenants.only. Trustee York felt that advertising would not greatly
increase patronage of beauty /barbershops by outsiders unless they wished to
follow a beauty operator or barber there. He opposed governmental restrictions
on advertising as restraint of trade. Trustee Swanson concurred. Trustee
' Seidman pointed out that the. Village imposes restrictions on signs, etc. and
advertising would stretch the uses of accessory uses.
The motion to amend the original motion by deleting subsections (a) and (b)
carried as follows:
AYES: MAROVITZ, SWANSON, YORK (3) NAYS: ROSENTHAL, SEIDMAN' (2)
The motion to accept the amended Plan Commission's recommendation and direct
preparation of an appropriate ordinance carried as follows:

and reconvened at 9:15 with all members present and
Manager Franz stated,that in October 1983 the
Board passed a Resolution which was forwarded to
Cook County asking for their cooperation in the
I north.of Lake -Cook Road which would enventually con -
grade crossing at the railroad.
The planning for the improvement coincides with Messrs. Flodstrom and Fink's
plans to develop the residential portion of the brickyards. At the directipn
of the Board, Staff has been meeting with them to negotiate a cost sharing plan
for the Pfingsten extension. The agreement consists of a sharing of costs for
Pfingsten Road extended, with the developers contributing,the sum of $105,000.
For the Sanitary Sewer Interceptor, the developers will contribute 587 and the
Village 427 of the total cost. Due to problems with the bridge improvement at
Pfingsten and Lake -Cook Roads, there will be a need for an interim offset inter-
section to provide traffic north of Lake -Cook Road. It's expected that Marriott
Corporation will return to the Village,possibly by the next meeting,regarding
that proposed improvement.
Trustee Seidman asked who would fund the straightening of Pfingsteq Road after
the offset is no longer needed. Manager stated that the Staff is seeking fund-
ing from the County. There is money set aside for this project. Initially the
offset will'be put in by Mr. Flodstrom as part of the Marriott development. The
permanent road will not go in until the bridge problem is resolved, which
An turn is related to the retention basin.
Mr. George Fink discussed with the Board a contribution based on actual cost
rather than, a fixed sum of $105,000 for the road improvement. Staff recommended
the sum of $105,000, no less, as an outright contribution to an extensive pro-
ject-by the Village to construct a permanent road from Pfingsten Road.to the pro-
posed site.
Trustee Marovitz suggested rephrasing of references to costs for the Sanitary
Sewer Interceptor., emphasizing percentages of the total costs to be contributed
by the developers rather than a dollar amount.
Thereafter, Trustee Marovitz moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, to direct the
execution by the Mayor of the agreement as amended. Motion carried on the

NORTH SHORE TASTE OF SUMMER Ms. Pat Thompson from Deerbrook stated she
DISCUSS REQUEST had come with Mr. Rick Novak of Natural Re-
sources, Inc., toy request a temporary permit
and soft liquor .license for a North Shore Taste of Summer. Festival to be held
at Deerbrook. i
Mr. Novak explained that the festival was an outdoor event for four nights and
three days featuring food, entertainment and fun, and is a fund raising activity
for the Young Variety Club. The festival would draw about 50,000 people over the
three or four day period. Thirty restaurants will participate and approval for

Anheuser Busch and Royal Crown Cola. Extra parking has been secured at Baxter -
Travenol, Teradyne, Sara Lee, and forest preserves from which buses will run
to Deerbrook. A private security firm will be employed and would operate under
the Deerfield police. He introduced Mr. Karl Schmidt of the Deerfield Bakery
who had participated in two previous festivals at Edens Plaza and who had urged
them to come to Deerfield as he felt the event would benefit Deerfield.
Mayor Forrest advised Mr. Novak that Deerfield's present liquor ordinance does not
permit such an event to be held. Mr.. Novak asked if an exception could be made.
Mayor Forrest replied not unless the Board chose to change the liquor ordinance.'
He added that over the, years, it had been found inadvisable to permit liquor at
such events, and therefore, there area number of restriction in the present liquor
ordinance specifically prohibiting the service of alcoholic beverages'as requested.
Mr. Novak stated that it might be possible to hold the festival without serving
alcohol. Mr. Robert Acri, attorney for the petitioners, asked to be permitted to
'. rework the proposal and present it at the next meeting. Mayor Forrest invited
him to come to the next meeting.
