that the Access Avenue project has received
authorisation from'IDOT. Bids w'411-be opened March 31 and work on
Access Avenue should commence in late Spring. The Fat.-.es Road Bridge
should be finished about June 15. The roadway on ,: east side of the
railroad tracks is scheduled for completion by Nove.iber lst, at which
time the entire road (Lake Cookto--Waukegan). will be opened to traffic.
There is a public hearing scheduled for March 10 on the Warwick pumping

BOARDWALK DEVELOPMENT The Plan Comnission recommended that
petitioner's request for rezoning to R -5
General Residence District and for a Special Use - PUD be approved with
the stipulation that the road be widened-to 27 feet. Approval is also
conditioned upon an acceptable report and solution from a consultant
regarding the storm and sanitary sewer situation on Jonquil. The
consultant's report indicates that work would have to be done on the
sanitary and storm sewer system in order to accommoda-ILe this particular
development and to correct existing problems.
Larry Holder, Robert and Ginny Fiocchi and Beverly Lamont, residents in
the neighborhood- of the proposed development, expressed their opposition
to the project citing the existing flooding and sewer problems and
increased traffic on Sunset Court. Robert and Mary Brown were ;in.favor
of the development and felt that the flooding problem might be
alleviated as a res:lt of this development.
Village Engineer James Soyka commented that the sanitary sewer on
Jonquil has been rated in poor to fair condition. The storm sewer is
not adeauate to handle the flow. Extensive work must be done on the
Jonquil Terrace sanitary and storm sewers to which the Boardwalk
development would be connected. Improvements are estimated to cost
approximately $250,000.
Mr. Kalman Lieberman, attorney representi .ng the developer, called on
several individuals to review certain aspects of the development.
Ronald Adams, a consulting engineer, reviewed the preliminary
engineering plans for the site and described an on site detention
plan. Joseph Jacobs, developer of the project, defined the term "empty
nester" used in describing the type of single family units proposed for
the development. John Martin, a land planner, described the site plan
and how the space could best be utilized. He noted that the Village
would have more control over the project as a PUD than as a subdivision.
Howard Carran, a landscape:•.architect,,. displayed a sketch of the
development.and described the proposed landscaping. A traffic.con-
sultant provided information on the traffic study that was conducted.
More information from the Staff on the sanitary and storm sewer
situation and the cost of improvements was requested by the Board in
order to evaluate the recommendation of the Plan Commission.
Trustee Rosenthal moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, that the Report
and Recommendation of Plan Commission re Boardwalk Development (property

unanimously.

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS Village Engineer James Soyka discussed the
DEERFIELD /WILMOT/ traffic sianal•problem at Castlewood - Deerfield
CASTLEWOOD which had been caused by a• malfunction in the
pedestrian actuator. Reducing the left turn
arrow signal to 4 seconds has discouraged turnarounds in residents'
driveways. The traffic problem in this area is very complex. It has
been improved somewhat but it will improve further when a signal is
placed at the tollway ramp this summer. The Village will continue to
monitor the traffic in this area in an.effort to prevent backups during
peak evening hours.
