the business with the impression that he would be able to get a
liquor license. There was some discussion regarding what class the

clause to the Liquor Ordinance. After some discussion, the Board
agreed to discuss this matter further at the July 20th Workshop
Meeting.
Mr. Joseph Brown who resides at 200 Corbin Street was present and
stated his street is in the worst condition it has ever been in. The
tar and chipping that was done last fall did not stick. The gas
company put a chemical down which made a bigger mess, the people
complained and the Village had to come in and put gravel down.
He also said the traffic over the past years has gotten dangerously
high. People are by-passing stoplights on Route 59. The side streets
cannot accommodate all the traffic. Cars are also spinning their
wheels on the gravel at all hours of the night. Mr. Brown said he
feels a blacktop street is needed, and a three-way stop sign put up
before there is a serious accident. He also requests that someone
do an in-depth study on the traffic flow on Corbin Street.
R. Miller stated the street needs to be cleaned and swept and redone.
The tar and chipping that was done last year was done too late in
the season and is not working.

After some discussion the Board directed M. Pusinelli to meet
with Bruce Hamilton and R. Miller to review the street problems
and to do a study to get a traffic count.
L. Kelly read the Report of the Plan Commission regarding
Case No. 154-11687AZ - Indian Oaks Subdivision Unit IY, Final Plat
recommending the Village Board approve the Final Plat for Unit II
of Indian Oaks subject to whatever bonding requirements are necessary
and engineer's approval of the detailed engineering.
Bruce Hamilton reported they have started reviewing the detailed
engineering and that there are still some questions remaining which
have not been answered yet, therefore he cannot recommend approval
of the detailed engineering. The engineer's estimate of improvement
costs have not been fully reviewed at this time either and he cannot
recommend the bonding requirements at this time.
Mr. L. Capista stated bath engineers are extremely busy this time
of the year and feels approving the final plat for Unit II subject
to engineer's approval on engineering and banding requirements would
make a big difference to him timewise with the ongoing construction.
Mayor Latta asked if the Van Dyke Road water line will be in before
a house is hooked up from Unit II. Mr. Capista said it will be done
according to what the annexation agreement states. He believes the
agreement allows 90 days from the time of approval of Unit II.
J. Harvey stated in reviewing the letter of credit, some dates need
to be changed, and as to the amounts. he asked if the three eighty
figure takes into account the water extension. He said he will meet
with the attorneys on this.
After a long discussion the Board agreed to continue the meeting
regarding Indian Oaks Unit II to next Monday, July 13, 1987, before
the Workshop Meeting at 7:00 p.m. in order to get engineer's approval
on detailed engineering and either one or two letters of credit for
Indian Oaks and Van Dyke Road.
L. Kelly read the Report of Plan Commission on County Case -
Louise Brown requesting rezoning from A-1 to C-3 to erect a building
for a lawn and garden center. Ms. Ilene Stalnicker, Moderator of
the Plainfield Congregational Church, was present and stated the main
concern of the. church is that if the zoning is changed that somewhere
down the line it will change hands and will not be a nursery, that
something else can be put in. They do not want the zoning changed -
would like it to stay agricultural with a special use for the nursery.
Attorney Fix stated that the other adjoining landowners have no
objection to the rezoning. They will be renotified when this case
goes before the County.

Leonard Kubinski requesting review of Preliminary Plat for property
located at 2525 N. Van Dyke Road.
Mr, Kubinski presented copies of a breakdown of estimated costs for
improvements from his engineer. He is requesting the combination
of Lot 2 and 3 to make one lot and also request the elimination of
the extension of the 18" sewer line presently, and be able to hook
the new home up to the existing sewer which is just south of the property.
He also requests that the well and septic tank that is presently
servicing the existing home could stay up until water and sewer is
extended. The existing well is fairly new. He stated he is willing
to pay his fair share if and when the water and sewer is extended
on Van Dyke Road.
In discussion on the existing well, D. Gullicksen said he feels that
when the Village water becomes available there then he should be
made to tap on to Village water. He feels Mr. Kubinski should not
have to drill another well for the new home. Also, to extend the
sewer to the north end of the property, full width of the property,
on the extra 10' easement and then if we get a grant, et cetera,
Mr. Kubinski would be reimbursed for that money at that time.
Mr. Kubinski said the cost of the 18" main and the water extension
main would be prohibitive and presently unnecessary. His engineer
proposes and 8" main. Mr. Kubinski was in disagreement with putt~nq.
in an 18" sewer main.
L. Kelly moved that the Board concux with the Plan Commission's
recommendation to combine Lots 2 and 3 providing sewer is installed
to the northern boundary, that the escrow requirements for the
street and sidewalk improvements are agreed upon between the engineers
and the Village with the 18" sanitary sewer extension, and that the
well is acceptable for the two units at this point with water to be
run to the homes when mains are extended. Seconded by K. Callanan.
