Mayor Latta introduced an ordinance Repealing Prior Ordinances
Setting Forth Fees Far Building Permits; and a resolution Setting
Forth Fees Far Building Permits. Mr. Charles Sharp (Phoenix
Developers, Inc.) requested to speak in reference to the raise
in permit fees. Mr. Sharp stated an increase in the builidng
permit fees would be excessa~.ve, relative to any other town in the
surrounding area; after checking other communities, many have
free inspections with the initial permit charge; he compared the
purposed Village fees with other communities and stated ours would
be higher, including sewer/water tap-ohs, permit fees and inspection
fees. Mr. Sharp suggests .the Board table the resolution increasing
permit fees until it has been reviewed more thoroughly. D.
Gullicksen stated we feel we must increase the fees because we
have had to increase the staff to handle the increase in building
in the Village. Other cities have much larger sales tax base
than Plainfield. After much more discussion, it was agreed by
the Board the building permit fees would be tabled.
Mayor Latta read a letter from Larry Capista, Phoenix Developers,
Inc. requesting permission to place a construction trailer in

Robert Graham spoke requesting the release of the last 8 lots
in Pheasant Chase for building permits. He stated basically
they have done what they had agreed to do in Pheasant Chase;
there is some minor touch-up work in sodd~.ng areas that were
not completed Friday when we sodded the lake; sod at the north
end of Mallard Drive; same work around 8 or 9 buffalo boxes that
had to be replaced; a manhole cover that must be lowered; also
Jim Phelps is here to get an idea what kind of trees you want
in the parkways; we are going to plant shubbery in the drainage
Swale; trees in the lake area; we have posted with the Village
a $12,000.00 irrevocable "Letter of Credit" of which we think
is a reasonable indemnification for any minor items we have over-
looked and that expires June 1, 1988. We feel with the exception
of the these things I have stated, we have done all we can do
in Phase Z. Administrator Pusinelli read the letter dated September
15, 1987 to Robert Graham (attached) listing the punch list for
Pheasant Chase. Mr. Phelps stated he needs direction on the
types of trees and size of trees that will be accepted by the
Village. In 1982, we planted at least 70 trees that were 2"
to 2z" caliper and they have become excellent trees. Mr. Graham
stated they would like to plant trees comparable to the trees
installed in 1982. They would like to plant Marshall Seedless
Ash ar Summit Ash, they. are recommended parkway trees. The Board
agreed to the named trees but they should be 2" to 2~" caliper
and 6" above ground.
L. Kelly moved to authorize planting of trees in parkway in
Pheasant Chase Subdivision 2" to 2~" caliper and 6" to 6~" above
ground height, northern grown hardwood and of landscape quality.
Seconded by J. Dement. Vote by roll call. Gullicksen, yes;
Ke11y, yes; Lewin, yes; Callanan (removed herself from podium);
Dement, yes. 4 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
The Board directed M. Pusinelli to contact Engineer Hamilton
to check the street and curbing ~.n front of George Primm's house;
also the rip-rap and the grade of the weir should be checked,
needs to be sodded. D. Gullicksen stated his problem with this
request is we stated last time you requested the release of lots,
we were not going to give you anymore lots until the "punch list"
was completed. Mr. Graham stated they have completed the "punch
list" as well as we can, we are down to a little sodding. We
will have some people building in the snow if we don't get these
lots released. We have made a real firm effort in the subdivision,
we have some work to complete, it is somewhat minor in detail,
but it is important and we realize that. J. Dement stated he
is concerned about the manhole in front of 601 and 609 Pheasant
~~ Chase Drive, they are too high. Mayor Latta stated a few of
the Pheasant Chase residents would like to speak: Mr. Joe Wilhelmi,
2590 North Mallard Drive stated, (he lives at the northern most

house on the street) because of where the pill box has been placed,
he 'is not able to back out of his driveway reasonably as a result
of it being there, he has done sodding that has been damaged and
replaced at his expense, they cleaned the street but did not clean
my driveway. The sewer tiles are cracked and damaged, he replaced
sidewalk infront of his property at his expense, he stated he does
not feel Mr. Graham has earned the additional lots he is requesting.
Donna Sailer, Amherst Court North stated she wrote a letter to the
Village a month ago about the buffalo box and the repairs have been
made but our lawn has sunk well below the sidewalk approximately
8" and is dangerous, a small child got the front wheel of her bike
stuck and she hit the tree and could have been injured. Joel
Schneider, Pheasant Chase Subdivision spoke asking is the land-
scaping going to be done in the "swale" and are there drawings
done for this landscaping? Mr. Phelps stated this was drawn by
a registered landscape architect. The Village Board agreed this
landscape drawing should be approved by our engineer Mr. Djerf.
Mr. Schneider stated he and the other residents of Pheasant Chase
would like the problems resolved and of quality workmanship. In
our opinion, he has not performed to his, agreement. Joe Jania
spoke stating the Homeowners in Pheasant Chase are getting tired,
going through the same problems, living in Pheasant Chase for 10
years. Each time he comes back for more lots he (Mr. Graham) states
he will complete the "punch list" and it isn't done. The drainage
(surface drain) the behind my house was supposed to be a perforated
tile, instead they laid a solid file and the couplers were put in
backwards and now we will have sink holes at each junction, so we
would like that corrected. J. Dement stated he would like to see
the Administrator devote as much time and manpower as is necessary
to get this accomplished as soon as passible. It has been going
on much too long. He stated he did not think they Board is ready
to act (release any lots) now but should in two (2) weeks. D.
Gullicksen stated when Engineer Djerf is out at Pheasant Chase
checking, he should also check the file and if it should be perforated,
then the file should be replaced. L. Kelly stated the problems
in Pheasant Chase have been unacceptable to many people for a long
period of time and he feels the request of the developer (request
of release of lots) be put aside for two (2) weeks and then come
back with the "punch list" completed totally - the entire Board
was in full agreement and it will be placed on the next agenda
(11/2/87). Administrator Pusinelli will send an updated letter
to Mr. Graham. Mrs. Sailer provided pictures of the unsitely
builder's dumping grounds, Amwood Construction in Pheasant Chase
to the Board. The Board directed this be turned over to the Police
Department. Mr. Brayban, 250 Mallard Drive North, stated his
buffalo box was not on the initial list and it needs repairs.
