single family residential lots. The proposed, lot size is 30,000 square feet
and the homes will run in excess of $100,000.00. Our request from the Board
is not to object to our request for the County rezoning. We would like to
work out. an annexation with the Village but to annex, we must be contiguous
with the Village and .the people along .the way. There has been a problem to
get them to voluntarily annex. to the Village. W. Sharp questioned if they
have a time period to develop? Mr. Babcock stated we hope to get it started
this fall and be completed within 5 years. J. Dement stated he would hope
they will install curbs and gutters so if this subdivision is annexed to the
Village in the future problems with run off would not be there. Mr. Graver
stated if we get the rezoning from the Gounty, you (Village) will have to.
approve our plat because we are within one and one-half mile of the Village.
Mayor Latta questioned at what point would you not annex to the Village?
Mr. Babcock stated if the County approves the rezoning and we go to our
engineers to draw up the final plat, that would be the final decision, that
could be August or September..

fvr the Graver Farm and not file a legal objection with the County (for the

J. Peterson reported due to the condition of Lockport Street from Division
to the E J & E Railroad tracks, he would like the Board to authorize the
attorney to draft an ordinance limiting 10~ton loads to trucks and it would
. help eliminate heavy traffic on this portion of Lockport Street. Also, an
ordinance placing a 25 mile per hour on Lockport Street from Division Street
east to Village limits near I-55. The reason for this is due to the condition
of the bike trail, many bike riders ride out to Eour Seasons Park on the street.
.There are two (2) entrances to the park east of I-55 (overpass) and the
cars come over that hill about 55 m.p.h, and it is crucial the traffic slow
down in these areas. W. Sharp stated there should be signs warning the
traffic coming from the east before the bridge (I-S5 overpass) approach, of
the reduction of speed, also a warning to the trucks of the 10~ton load limit.
Mr. Sharp will contact the Township in reference to these warning signs.
J. Peterson moved the Board authorize the Attorney to draft two (2) ordinances;
(1) place a ten (10) ton load limit on Lockport Street from Division Street
east past the E J & E Railroad tracks,' with appropriate signs be placed at each
end of Lockport Street; (2) place a twenty-five (25) mile speed limit on
Lockport Street from Division Street east to the Village limits near Interstate
55, with appropriate signs indicating both the speed limit and "Park Entrance".
