Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the County Case - Anthony
Cerra request far rezoning of 2.5 acres located along the west
side of Van Dyke Road, approximately 1 1/2 miles north of 135th
Street. This case was discussed at the December 1$, 1989 Board
meeting and at that time, the Board voted to formally abject to
the rezoning and the variance requested by the applicant.
Attorney Peterson spoke representing the applicant. He stated
the Cerras have owned this property since 1978. County zoning
ordinance requires 600' frontage far residences in an A-1
district. This parcel has a frontage of 177'. Several years
ago, they constructed a barn on the property and is used for a
horse stable barn called Gypsy Hill Farms, operated by Mrs. Cerra
and her daughter. Mr. Cerra has retired and it is their desire
to have their home on this property. In 1987, the County adopted
the E-2 District -~ the Estate District. This requires only front
footage of 180'. D. Gullicksen questioned if this property will
never be divided, why do they need a road back to the rear of the
• property? Attorney Peterson stated they need the road for access
to the stable (A--1 zoning) in the rear. Mr. Keeley is an

adjacent property owner who spoke of his objections. He stated
these people made their own hardsha.p when they purchased the
property. They were aware of the zoning ordinances that were in
affect. They constructed a horse barn and put a trailer on the
property of which bath were in violation of the zoning. They say
they have no intentions of selling this property but this .fall
there was an ad in the Tribune (newspaper) "stable for sale" and
Cerra's phone number and there has been a "for sale" sign on
Route 59. It was removed about two (2) weeks ago. This (case)
was brought in front of the Wheatland Plan Commission last week
and they rejected it. Mayor Latta stated she is also concerned
of someone in the future wanting to divide this property. It was
the consensus of the Board there are potential problems in this
case.
L. Kelly moved to adopt Resolution No. 958 objecting to the
rezoning of this property. "That the proposed rezoning may allow
the creation of additional lots to the WEst of .the proposed

review of the Final Plat and Engineering Improvement Plans far
Spring Hill Estates: 1) The sanitary sewer specifications allow
for .use of PVC pipe; 2) The sanitary sewer specifications require
TV inspection at the Contractor's expense with reports to
Village. We believe this is to be an acceptable alternate to
requirements of Section 3-14-2a of the Subdivision Regulations;
3) Detention pond depth of 6.1 feet exceeds the maximum 4 foot
requirement and .has no release pipe to surface but depends on
sand and gravel soils to absorb storm waters into the ground.
Tests by Max T. Calhoun, Consulting Engineers indicate the ponds
will absorb the storm water or empty within a 24 hour period. We
believe the storm water management detention ponds as designed to
be an acceptable method for this site and recommend approval; 4)
We note, for the record, that IEPA permits are required for
sanitary sewer and watermain construction and that permits must
be received prior to start of construction. We have reviewed the
permit applications and find them acceptable and recommend
processing by the Village; and 5) We concur with Siebert
Engineers, Inc. estimate of costs for improvements dated November
2, 1989 which are summarized as follows:
Sanitary Sewers (Off-Site) $ 57,000
Sanitary Sewers (On-Site) 168,800
Storm Sewers & Detention 337,600
Water System 15$,500
Roadway & Sidewalks 389,900
Street Trees 21,700
Street Lights & Signs $ _39,600
TOTAL $1,173,100
The sewer improvements on this project involve on-site sewers,
the off-site involve a new sewer line paralleling the existing
line on Eastern Avenue from Lockport Street, north to the
railroad tracks on the west side of the street; supplemental 10"
sewer line. The discharge from lift station will be a new line
taken from the old line into new line. The services from the
west will be tied into new line. The old line will service those
properties to the east and this will be at the developers
expense. The developer will pay $275.00 per lot, paid upon
issuance of building permits for street improvements and it will
be put into an Escrow Account for Eastern Avenue improvements.
The developers will install a cement sidewalk the length of the
frontage of their property along Eastern Avenue.

for ESDA Coordinators..
D. Lewin reported we have received approximately 40 applications
far Building Inspector. The committee will be reviewing the

Administrator Pusinelli reported on the Illinois Street Parking
Lat. There has been inquiries regarding space rentals. Staff
recommends the President and Board of Trustees amend the current
parking restrictions as follows: 1) Reserved parking in the
spaces located on the north and east sides of the lot (same as
current); 2) Reserved spaces to be $50/year. This amount is less
than the $100/year in the DesPlaines Street lot. However, the
Illinois Street lot appears to be utilized mainly by residents as
opposed to businesses. Possibly, more will rent spaces if the
annual price is less than in the DesPlaines Street lot. (The
DesPlaines Street lot is one half two-hour parking and one-half
reserved-merchant parking); and 3) No parking permitted in the
remaining spaces between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:Oq a.m.
These are the spaces an the west side of the lot as well as the
spaces in the interior of the lot. No other hourly restrictions
would be imposed. Prohibiting parking during 1:00 a.m. and 6:00
a.m. would aid staff in the event of snow removal. This does not
include rented spaces. After much discussion, it was the
consensus of the Board to send these recommendations to the
Parking Committee.
