Seconded by D. Gullicksen, Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Mayor Latta read the consent agenda. J. Bootz moved to approve the consent agenda. Seconded by L. Kelly. Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Discussion followed regarding an ordinance authorizing the issuance of $2,660,000 waterworks and sewerage revenue bonds of the Village of Plainfield. J. Dement stated the Board has talked about concerning ourselves with our sewer and water expansion so that we could possibly receive more tax dollars and if this ordinance passes we're going to be in a serious money problem and not able to do that. One of the reasons is that as you reach capcity of the sewer plant it allows you greater leverage when you try to get grant money. One of the alternatives we should consider is possibly taking our sewer and water to the limit and hope for government funding on it. In the last few years it's been Build Illinois money. Historically, you can count on villages and towns receiving some money. Mayor Latta commented that having been one of the people that have gone out to talk to the people where we would like to extend water and sewer lines to obtain sales tax dollars, from talking to these people, they really are not interested, the people with vacant property, of allowing us access or annexing their property until we can assure them that there's available sewer and water capacity. Personally feels this is number one priority. VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES .Tune 20, 198$ Page Two K. Callanan read a sentence from the TPAP report on page 1, "The community's decisions regarding expansion of its sewer and water services in terms of direction and capacity will shape the future development pattern, ultimately the very nature of Plainfield." K. Callanan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 1163 authorizing the issuance of $.2,660,000 waterworks and sewerage revenue bonds of the Village of Plainfield, Illinois. Seconded by D. Lewin. Roll call vote. D. Gullicksen, yes; L. Kelly, yes; J. Dement, yes; D. Lewin, yes; K. Callanan, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. D. Gullicksen questioned if it would be appropriate to amend the ordinance where we earmark a majority of the tap on fees to fund these bands and pay them off. Attorney Harvey stated it could possible be done with a supplemental ordinance. Mayor Latta read a statement saying that she is very pleased the Village Board of Trustees has seen fit to pass a revenue bond ordinance and thanked the Board members who voted far the issue. J. Dement commented he begrudgingly voted fox the ordinance and expressed his feelings on what should be done now that the ordinance is passed. Tap on fees will not cover the cost of the expansion. We either need to raise the tap ons or surcharge the developers so we can break even. M. Latta stated it would be appropriate to direct the Administrator to investigate that and come back with a couple of alternatives. J. Dement further stated that if this goes through and all we do is build houses, we'll be in the same predicament we're in right now. Houses do not do the job far us with sales tax. Another thing the Board might do is when we decide to build a plant .expansion we should earmark so much of that plant expansion for commercial use, not strictly for houses. If we continue to build houses our taxes will skyrocket because we will not have the sales tax dollars. J. Dement said he does not know what the people's feelings are as far as a very large tax increase, but they should be aware of the procedures to voice their opposition, and stated he would take part with them if they wish to do so. J. Boatz commented the 60-70~ increase is on the Village tax, the increase on a total tax bill would only be 10~. M. Pusinelli stated the number of signatures need to oppose this is the total number of voters who voted for the Village President, both candidates, in the last election, and i.t's 15~ of that number. • VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20, 1988 Page Three County Case - Larry Cris Rury - Requesting rezoning to E-2 estate type lots for property located at the Southwest Corner of Renwick Rd. and Indian Boundary Road in Plainfield. Mr. Cris Rury and Attorney Tom Wilson were present. Attorney Wilson stated they are requesting County E-2 zoning which allows single- family residential. The 20-acre parcel will be divided into eight 2~-acre lots. All the lots front either on Indian Boundary Road or on Renwick Road. Attorney Wilson stated it is his understanding the Village filed a legal objection because the Petitioner did not subdivide the property, will be using existing roads for frontage, no school or highway contributions, no storm water detention or drainage, and oppose a 30-acre development. Attorney Wilson requested the Village withdraw their objection, as Petitioner has reduced the development from 30 acres to 20 acres; has provided drainage facilities and storm water detention on site which the Village Engineer has reviewed and approved; has agreed to pay $500 per lot to the Township Highway Commissioner for road maintenance; $500 a lot to the School District; and has agreed to pay Mr. Hamilton's fees up to $200 in reviewing calculations that Mr. Rury's engineer worked up on the drainage. After discussion, the Board and Mr. Rury agreed to the following: Mr. Rury will pay Park donations per lot in accordance with the Will County Forest Preserve Ordinance whether or not they are required; School donations on a per lot basis similar to Indian Oaks: 3 bedroom homes, $473.31, 4 bedroom, $664.61, 5 bedroom, $985.04; $500 per lot donation to the Township Road District, to be used for Indian Boundary Road and Renwick Road; Mr. Rury has agreed to pay the engineering fees of Hamilton Engineering for this development.

VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES June 20, 1988 Page Four County Case - William T. Jacobs, Jr. Requesting rezoning from A-1 to E-2 Estate District with Special Uses for Planned Unit Development including variances as required and private streets and Flood Plain Development. Property located at southwest corner of the intersection of River Road and Fraser Road in Section 20, Plainfield Township. Proposed development will be called Pine Cone Woods. Attorney Tom Wilson was present on behalf of Petitioner. He stated this is a 90-acre tract south of intersection of Fraser Road and River Road. Tt is presently zoned agricultural. Mr. Jacobs has filed several applications with the County. First is a rezoning of the property to an E-2, which is estate lots with a 2~ acre minimum. Is also asking for a special use permit so the property can be developed as a planned unit development with privately owned and maintained amenities.. Also asking far a special use permit which is required for development of the flood plain. A large portion of this property is in a flood plain. Before this permit is issued the Petitioner must show detailed engineering of where excavation will be and where the soil will be transferred which must be approved by the County engineer. The proposed development will be divided into 12 lots. All roads will be privately owned and maintained. Mr. Jacobs plans to build his home on Lot l2. • Mr. Hamilton, Village Engineer, stated he sees no problem with the development. There is very little involved in the way of engineering because of the large lots. There was discussion regarding River Road being a north/south collector street. This proposed development would cut off River Road. It was the consensus of the Board to agree with the Pian Commission that River Road is not condusive to being a collector street. L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission's recommendation to not object to the Planned Unit Development with E-2 zoning based on the condition that there be covenants to show that the river bank remain in its natural state, and that there will be the proper school and park donations required by subdivision ordinances.
