Administrator Pusinelli reported he had met with Larry Robinson
of the Historical Society and advised him of the Village's
concerns regarding estimated repair costs of the Old Village Hall.
Mr. Robinson stated the Historical Society is in the process of
finding a new location but he hoped the Village would extend the
lease for about one year, It was the Administrator's suggestion
to extend the lease to May 31, 1989 or on a month-to-month basis.
It was the consensus of the Board to extend the lease to May 31,
1989 and directed Attorney Harvey to draft the Lease Agreement
for the November 21, 1988 Board Meeting,
Planner Waldock reported on the Frederick and Carolyn Martens
rezoning request, Location - 819 Division Street; Request -
rezoning from Residence A to B-2, Business District. The Plan
Commission discussed this request and due to the significant
impacts of surrounding commercial uses and traffic from Route
126 and Route 59, Business zoning appears the best designation
for this site, Staff feels, however, that B-1 rather than B-2
is more appropriate, due to the adjacent residential use south
of the property. The Plan Commission recommends the approval
of B-1 District by a vote of 6 yes and 1 abstention.
L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission and rezone the
property at $19 Division Street to B-1 rather than B-2 as
requested. (Mayor Latta questioned Mr. Marten if the B-1 coning
was acceptable and Mr. Marten stated it was.) Seconded by J.
Dement. Vote by roll call, Lewin, yes; Kelly, yes; Dement, yes;
Callanan, yes. 4 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.

Planner Waldock reported on a County Case for Plainfield Township
Offices. Request - Special Use Permit for Government Offices
in the A-1, Agricultural zone; Location - Southwest corner of
I-55 and Lockport Street. Discussion - Plainfield Township
proposes to construct a new office building at their land near
I-55 on Lockport Street. The 6.45 acre site contains two garages
and dog pound building. The proposal calls for construction of
a 2,688 square foot office building and associated parking spaces.
No major issues are identified in this request. The site layout
appears appropriate in terms of existing building locations and
lot geometry. The Township should consider, however, relocating
the curb cut on Lockport Street to the west to allow as great
a separation as possible from the I-55 right-of-way. The Plan
Commission, by a vote of 7 to 0, recommends no objection to the
Special Use Permit for Plainfield Township Governmental Offices
subject to the condition that the Fire Prevention Bureau of
Plainfield Fire District review and approve Building Plans prior
to construction permit issuance.
L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission and not object
to the Special Use Permit for the Plainfield Township Governmental
Offices subject to the condition that the Fire Prevention Bureau
of Plainfield Fire District review and approve building plans
prior to construction permit issuance. Seconded by J. Dement.

Planner Waldock reported he attended Northeastern Illinois Plan
Commission on Wednesday (11-2-88). The discussion was on the
Facility Plan for Joliet. Joliet has requested an expansion of
2,400 acres than is unclaimed by any municipality in the region.
The Village of Plainfield has been opposed to this FPA expansion
on the basis of the concerns of land use that relates to our
boundaries between Shorewood, Plainfield and Joliet. It would
be in the Village of Plainfield's best interest as well as
Shorewood and Joliet to postpone any expansion of any FPA
expansion until such time as boundary agreements can be reached
between the three municipalities involved. NIPC tended to agree
with our concerns and postponed any action for 60 days on any
FPA expansion. Attending this meeting were objectors from Village
of Plainfield, Village of Shorewood, Plainfield School District

and Plainfield Township. There were concerned citizens in the
audience from the area that could be included in Joliet's FPA
expansion. Those who spoke and questioned Mayor Latta, Mr.
Waldock and Board were: Madeline Frey, Doris Bernard, Tony Bell,
Dale Gawlick, Penny Leapold, Robert Sneider, Helen Harshbarger,
Gina Pommier, Debbie Obrecht, Richard Smith, Mary Leaman and Joe
Mohr. The areas these residents represented were Lewood
Subdivision, Lily Cache Subdivision, Lily Cache Road, Heatherwood
Estates, Fon-du-lac Subdivision and Plainsmen Terrace. After
much discussion, it was the consensus that the subdivisions will
have meetings with Mayor Latta, Planner Waldock and some of the
Board to voice their concerns and their wishes.
K. Callanan reported that Sandra Kozuh, one of the producers of
the video (starring Mark Pusinelli) on the Referendum, has come
every night to see that the video got on Channel l0 at no cost
to the Village. The cost of this video normally would have been
approximately $1,200, but was produced courtesy of Plainfield
Community Access League.
J. Dement stated the American Legion is having the "Tribute
Memorial Dedication Ceremony" Sunday, November 13, 1988 at 2:00
p.m. This is a tribute to both men and women who have lost their
lives during peace-time.
L. Kelly reported the "Access League" is having trouble getting
enough people. It's all volunteer. They do need help. Also,
the Plainfield Wildcat Girls Volleyball team is one of the final
$ teams in the State going for the title this weekend in
Springfield.
Planner Waldock stated the Foster Farm was tabled at the Plan
Commission to check into a possible annexation.
Attorney Harvey reported the EPA, in our Radium Petition filed
on October 18, 1988 requesting an extension, recommends our
extension. Also, Markely Oil has removed their tanks from their
property so the November 15th deadline has been resolved.
L. Kelly moved to adjourn to Executive Session, not to reconvene.
Seconded by J. Dement. Voice vote. 4 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
