drugs and alcohol, the Deerfield Rotary wanted to help in the village's campaign for public
awareness. Trustee Struthers, along with other Rotarians, presented the village with two banners

Bank and at the Farmer's Market. Mayor Harris thanked the Rotary Club.

COMMONWEALTH EDISON Mayor Harris explained that State Senator Susan
Garrett held a town hall meeting regarding the
recent power outages and response from ComEd. Mayor Harris, Trustee Seiden, Trustee
Struthers and Interim Manager Kiraly attended the meeting.
Bill Vollar, Regional Director. for External
Affairs for ComEd, discussed highlights from the morning meeting. Mr. Vollar explained that
the August 23; 2007 storm was one of the most destructive storms in 10 years. 310,000
customers lost power due to more than 80,000 lightening strikes and 3 inches of rain between the
hours of 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm. There were also more than 5000 downed.trees that needed to be .
dealt with before the restoration. Mr. Vollar explained that safety is their first priority. ComEd
needed to make sure the limbs and trees were removed prior to repairing downed power lines and
poles. After the areas were assessed, they were prioritized.. Hospitals and emergency care
facilities were first, followed by senior facilities, high rises (areas. with a large number of
customers) then areas with a small number of customers. ComEd mobilized thousands -of
contractors and crews from all areas, and they worked 16 hour shifts.
Shah Quaiyoom, External Affairs Manager for
ComEd, explained that the main circuit outages must be repaired before the small circuit outages.
Mr. Quaiyoom explained that 90% of the 1100 customers affected in Deerfield had their power
restored within 24 hours.
Joel Schaider, 1021 Stratford, appreciated the
discussions on the severity of the storm. He explained that Stratford West has had frequent and
prolonged power outages over the past several years. He read a short letter directed to Phil
Kiraly, from his neighbor Bruce Hurwitz at 1022 Stratford. Mr. Schaider respectfully requests a
dialog be started between the village and ComEd, to determine the cause of the frequent power
outages.
Susie Hurvitz, 1022 Stratford, explained ComEd
has not addressed the problems. She is frustrated because every time electricity goes out,
resident's lives are negatively affected. She explained they are losing trust with the issue, and it
is affecting the entire Stratford neighborhood. Residents have complained for more than a year
and need to know what can be done. They are asking for the village's support. She explained
that they lose power in all weather, not just storms. She explained that the residents are begging
for the board to help get a reliable source of electricity in their neighborhood. She explained the
urgency of the matter and asked that the trustees look at the big picture.
Joe Talleanno, 1160 Linden Avenue, did not hear
anything about capital investment plans from ComEd. There is a serious infrastructure problem
and the utility needs to review the capital plans to secure the service in town.
Mayor Harris commented that he believed the town
hall meeting was very lenient on ComEd. He explained that Deerfield has had a change in
housing over the past several years, and the infrastructure ComEd has in Deerfield in not
sufficient. The communication with the residents has been deplorable and needs to improve.
Board of Trustees Meeting

Mayor Harris, questioned why contractors I and crews needed to be brought in from other states.
He explained that the storm just unmasked problems and that numerous Deerfield residents
frequently lose power. The board advised counsel to discuss remedial measures with ComEd.
Trustee Feldman questioned if there is something
that residents could do to ensure their issues are addressed. Mr. Vollar proposed establishing a
comprehensive plan for the Village of Deerfield to address the problem areas in the community.
Mr. Quaiyoom believes that this plan can be pt-together in approximately 2 weeks would be an
attainable -time frame, whereby they could report to staff and work through what areas must be
addressed.
Trustee Rosenthal noted that there were a
tremendous number of power outages in Deerfield. ComEd fixed the issues, but there has been
no additional communication or follow through. She recommended implementing a proactive
approach, by putting ComEd on the board agenda every 6 months, but mentioned. that to have to
do so is frustrating as the board should not have police ComEd's operations.
Trustee Seiden expressed concern because the only
time people get satisfaction with ComEd is when they come to a board meeting. At the town hall
meeting, everyone was talking about what ComEd has done rather than what is being done to
correct the situation. There has been a significant rate increase. He questioned how that money
is being used. He does not believe it is not being used to upgrade the infrastructure. He also
believes there should be enough equipment and backup to take care of the issues.
Mayor Harris asked ComEd to develop an action
plan and to work with staff to ensure it is implemented and its goals accomplished in a timely
fashion.
PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment.
REPORTS
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF PLAN COMMISSION RE: REQUEST
FOR A TEXT AMENDMENT AND
SPECIAL USE TO PERMIT THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF A DOG DAY
CARE AND GROOMING FACILITY
AT 495 LAKE COOK ROAD
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on July
26, 2007 which was continued to August 9, 2007 to
discuss the request by The Barking Lot and Lake
Cook Plaza to consider a text amendment and
special use to permit the establishment of a dog day
care and grooming facility at 495 Lake Cook Road.
The Plan Commission recommended approval of
the request by a vote of 4 -2.
Trustee Rosenthal recused herself from this matter
because of a relationship with the petitioner. She explained that she spent time reviewing the
request objectively and believes this is a good use for the property.
Board of Trustees Meeting
September 4, 2007

Mr. Matt Kriser and Mr. Brad Kriser, owners of the
'two Barking Lot locations in Chicago, explained that they have been in business for more than
five years. He explained that they have a regular clientele as well as a retail store. Their
boarding, day care and training services are for dogs.and they groom both dogs and cats.
Mr. Brad Kriser explained that they are aware of the
issues that need to be addressed. He explained that both of their locations are in a mixture of
residential and urban environments. One concern that is often-thought of is noise. He does not
believe noise is an. issue, because the dogs are primarily inside: and neighboring businesses would
not be affected. Mr. Kriser explained they have letters from-neighbors to. attest to that fact.
He explained the second issue is odors and smells.
One of the things that is paramount to their organization is keeping the facilities in good.
condition. He explained they would not.be able to stay in business if it was not a clean- smelling
environment. The use of the outside areas, for play purposes, would comply with the hours sett
by village, so it does not affect lunch or dinner times. They are also building a fence, so. dogs
would not bark at cars passing by.
Mr. Kriser explained they believe all dogs must be
socialized. They have 3 playrooms in the facility. The proposed Deerfield facility is an upscale
facility with larger kennels, different rooms for more private accommodations. They believe the
location, adjacent to railroad tracks, would have little impact. The restaurant (Nick's Fishmarket
Grill) is across the street. Mr. Brad Kriser believes that the mall is losing tenants and that they
will help to bring in new traffic into Lake Cook Plaza. He explained that Kindercare will be
leaving the center in 2008 and The Barking Lot would add significantly to the tax base as well.
Mr. Scott Suckow, Vice President of Really Nice
Restaurants, owner of Nick's Fishmarket Restaurants, believes The Barking Lot would have a
detrimental impact on their business. He explained that dogs leave deposits that smell. He
believes the Plan Commission should not have approved the use, because the adoption of the
ordinance would not be in the best interest of the public. In addition, he does not believe a dog
kennel is compatible with the existing development.
Mr. Suckow distributed photographs of the Chicago
locations of The Barking Lot. He does not believe the existing locations are upscale. Mr.
Suckow believes the petitioner embellished when describing their current locations. Mr. Suckow
explained that Nick's Fishmarket Grill is a'first class restaurant. When they looked for their
third location, they wanted to be in a nice, prestigious area. If there were a dog kennel across the
street, or if they thought a kennel would move across the way, they would not have leased that
location.
Mr. Suckow explained they hear the trains at the
restaurant and do not believe a fence would be a proper deterrent to barking dogs or the odors
associated with the dogs. Although the trains are loud, he believes the dogs are louder. In
addition, this location is much larger and would house as many as 100 dogs. Mr. Suckow noted
that the other two locations do not have outdoor dog runs or multiple dogs outside.
Board of Trustees Meeting

Mr. Suckow explained that the petitioner stated the
center is losing business; however, he does not believe this is the case. He explained that within
the past year, Nick's Fishmarket Grill, National City and the Tile Shop have all located their
businesses in Lake Cook Plaza. In addition, the.cross access with Deerbrook Mall brings
additional traffic into the center.
Mr. Suckow believes that the other locations have a
urine odor.. In addition, pea gravel was placed, because the grass was killed due.to the dog's
urination. He noted that the petitioner would be installing ventilation fans, which will blow the.
odor outdoors and affect their customers. He noted that the petitioner stated there was no odor.
He believes this is relative, because people expect a different odor in a dog kennel than a
restaurant.
Lee Suckow, Chairman and CEO of Really Nice
Restaurants, noted that he sent a letter to the trustees. He believes that if this business were an
essential service for Deerfield residents, they would not have waited 100 years to enter the
village. He believes The Barking Lot would hurt their business.
Trustee Feldman asked if Mr. Suckow was
concerned about noise. Mr. Kriser explained that they would have soundproofing indoors. She
noted that the recommendation restricts the times that the dogs could be outside, and they would
not be allowed outside during lunch or dinner hours.
Trustee Feldman noted that she has visited a
number of other dog kennels and typically, the only odor she smelled was disinfectant. Mr. Lee
Suckow commented that the dogs entering and exiting the kennel could urinate or defecate.
Trustee Feldman suggested moving the customer entrance to the rear of the building, so
restaurant customers would not see the dogs entering or leaving the facility as easily. In
addition, the Barking Lot customers would be responsible for picking up after all' dogs.
Trustee Struthers explained that she brings her dog
to a dog park where approximately 200 dogs visit daily. She has never had an issue with the
odor unless standing adjacent to the waste receptacle where people dispose of the dog droppings.
Don Parker, representing the ownership of Lake
Cook Plaza, explained that the distance between the proposed Barking Lot and Nick's
Fishmarket Grill is approximately 125 feet. He believes this is a great enough distance that odor
will not negatively affect Nick's Fishmarket operations. Mr. Parker commented that the
ownership of Nick's Fishmarket Grill have asked to be released from their lease. He does not
believe their business is doing well and that they are blaming The Barking Lot for problems that
already exist. He noted that the 3 other restaurants in Lake Cook Plaza have not expressed
concern.
Michael Swartz, Chairman of the Plan Commission,
explained that the two commissioners that voted against the petition were in favor of the use, but
Board of Trustees Meeting

not the site. He explained that the petitioner said they would comply with the village nuisance
code and the Illinois agriculture.codes.
Mr. Scott Suckow commented that Mr. Parker
neglected to mention that Lake Cook Plaza was being sold. He reassured the trustees that Nick's
was not having problems.
Trustee Struthers questioned the ammonia odor
inside the facility. Mr. Brad Kriser explained their.HVAC system would provide 15 air changes
per hour, creating a clean and safe environment. They will be purchasing industrial wet -dry
vacuums and everything will be done by hand. He explained they would not install trench
drains.
Mr. Coblentz explained there are two items for the
board's consideration. There is a text amendment, which is a legislative decision. If approved,
the proposed kennel would become presumably allowed if the 6 special use conditions were met.
Trustee Seiden stated that he is not in favor of this
use at this location because he believes it would be injurious to the existing tenants. He does not
feel an operation of this sort should be located in this location. He thinks the dog kennel would
be a turn off for the restaurant. He thinks that if the kennel were there when the restaurant
moved here, they would not have moved to that location.
Trustee Benton explained that people come to
restaurants for the quality of the restaurant. Nick's is a quality restaurant and it will continue to
be a quality restaurant. He believes the trustees are considering expanding the number of
businesses that serve the residents of Deerfield.
Trustee Struthers made a motion to approve the text
amendment to permit kenneling in the C -2 Zoning District. Trustee Benton seconded the
motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Feldman, Jester, Seiden, Struthers (5)
NAYS: None (0)
ABSTENTIONS: Rosenthal (1)
Trustee Feldman made a motion to approve the
special use to permit dog kenneling and dog grooming in the C -2 Zoning District with the patron
entrance to be relocated to the rear of the building, facing the railroad tracks. Trustee Struthers
seconded the motion. Mr. Coblentz explained that four votes would be needed to pass. The
motion did not pass by the following vote:
AYES: Feldman (1)
NAYS: Benton, Jester, Seiden, Struthers (4)

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RE:
REQUEST FOR VARIATION TO
PERMIT A DETACHED ACCESSORY
STRUCTURE IN A REQUIRED SIDE
YARD AT 1426 AMBLESIDE DRIVE
The Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing
on August 7, 2007 to consider the request of
petitioners Josh and Lisa Carl, 1426 Ambleside
Drive, for a variation to allow construction of a 9' x
17' shed in a required side yard. The Board of
Zoning Appeals voted to deny approval
of the request by a vote of 6 -0.
Bob Kenny, Attorney for the Carl family and
Deerfield Resident, believes this is a unique request because there is a building setback
established on the plat. He explained the only area that the shed can be placed would be next to
the patio in the useable space. Mr. Kenny believes the southwest corner of the lot, in the side
yard, would be the most appropriate place because there is a two foot decrease in topography.
He explained that if the ground level of the shed started at the east lot line of the fence, by the
time they got nine feet to the west, the floor level of the shed would be approx. 1.5' below grade.
The fence follows the grade. The shed roof would be at or below the fence line, but the height of
the fence would be at 7.4' due to the elevation. At the east end, the height would be 6' and
would not exceed the 6' fence height at the west end because of the elevation.

Trustee Jester asked if the Carl children could use
the fenced in area of the side yard to play. Mr: Kenny explained that the children are too young
to play there unsupervised. He commented that the BZA Chairman recommends staying 10'
.from the house and going a bit north, which would allow 15' to the lot lime. He believes if they
followed his recommendation, the shed would be lifted to a higher elevation and more visible to
the neighbors. He questioned whether it would be better to follow the zoning ordinance or lessen
the impact to the neighbors.
Trustee Struthers expressed concern about setting a
precedent -in a visible corner lot. Trustee Rosenthal understands the - pragmatic issues, but is
having difficulty finding hardship. Mr. Carl explained they. are trying to do what is best for the
neighbors..The code states they could build a 20' shed, but he does not believe that would be
best for anyone: .
Trustee Feldman questioned if the shed could go
next to the swing set. Mr.. Kenny explained that the children could get behind the shed, because
of the 10'. setback.
Bob Speckman, Chairman of the Board of Zoning
Appeals, explained that the building line dictates the side.yard. He noted it has a 15' side yard
setback. In homes with a 30' side yard setback, the ordinance does not allow accessory
structures. If our typical ordinance requirements were applied to the lot, they would only be 10"
off the property line.
Trustee Seiden commented that he believed that
there is no possibility to put the shed where they want it, according to the ordinance. Mr.
Speckman explained that if the setbacks were normal, the shed would have been in compliance.
If a variation were needed, there would be no uniqueness.
Trustee Seiden asked if the variation request was
reasonable. Mr. Speckman does not know how the shed could be built with the fence. In
addition, he does not know how two sides of the fence and structure could be maintained. Mr.
Kenny explained that the shed could be moved 2' to the north and west, to allow room for
maintenance and still accomplish everything with the original topography.
Trustee Rosenthal made a motion to accept the
report and recommendation of the Board of Zoning Appeals regarding a request for a variation to
permit a detached accessory structure in a required side yard at 1426 Ambleside Drive. Trustee
Struthers seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Feldman, Jester, Rosenthal, Seiden, Struthers (6)

connections, which will become part of the public
storm sewer system. He is asking for a recapture agreement for 75% of the cost of the
improvement, along with legal fees and interest.
Trustee Rosenthal believes Mr. Dubin is doing a
service for the village and believes he should recapture his costs and interest. She does not
believe his legal fees should be included, because anyone that taps into the sewer would also
have attorney fees. Mayor Harris believes the legal fees that directly apply should be included.
Trustee Seiden made a motion to approve the
recapture agreement including interest and legal fees not to exceed $4000 for the 130 N.
