meeting with the pledge to
Roll call was taken, J. Gaylord and J. Ray were absent.
W. Sharp moved to approve the New/Old Business Section of the
Agenda. Seconded by J. Dement. Voice vote. 4 yes, 0 no.
Motion carried.
D. Gullicksen moved to approve the Consent Agenda to include the
minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 18, 1991. Seconded by

Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Building Fermits and
Inspection Fees. He stated staff has surveyed surrounding
communities with regard to Building and Plumbing Inspection Fees,
Contractors Licenses and Temporary Occupancy Permit regulations.
We are looking far some ideas from the Board on possibly rasing
the inspection fees. Presently, the plumbing inspection fee is
$15.00 for residential and $20.00 for commercial. We feel it
would be justifiable to raise residential to $20.00 per
inspection and $25.00 for commercial. Per the survey on November
14, 1991 of surrounding communities, $20.00 per plumbing
inspection is typical, not the highest and not the lowest. After
some discussion, it was the consensus that more information
should be given to the contractors as to procedure and
requirements to be included with the building permit application.
There was some discussion of registering contractors and a small
fee of $25.00 per year is sufficient to handle administrative
costs. If contractors are registered, this would allow the
Village to keep these contractors up to date with any changes in
Village's Plumbing Code. It was the consensus that the fees for
plumbing inspections shall be raised from $20.00 to $25.00 for
commercial and all contractors be registered with a $25.00 fee.

They will also receive a summary sheet as to procedures, but they
will have to purchase the codes. The Attorney will compile an
ordinance for the December 16, 1991 Board meeting. There was
discussion in reference to temporary Certificate of Occupancy.
After much more discussion, it was the consensus that staff would
look into other communities as to haw they handle temporary
occupancies, plan examination and building permit fees. The
present code must be revised.
Administrator Van Vooren spoke in reference to a response to IDOT
on the SPA Report - Illinois Route 59. He has compiled a letter
for President Latta's signature, to IDOT James C. Slifer PE,
District Engineer. There was some discussion of concerns of
traffic on Route 59. It was agreed that the Transportation
Committee will look into the traffic problem.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the proposed Tree
Ordinance. He stated this is a model from the Department of
Conservation. Attorney Harvey stated the Tree Board should only
be an advisory Board. Planner Waldock stated the Park District
is in full support of a tree ordinance. It was the consensus of
the Board that Planner Waldock will review the ordinance with
Attorney Harvey and compile another ordinance for the Board.
Administrator Van Vooren spoke in reference to the Vista Lane
property. He stated, with the input of Mayor Latta, he has
prepared a letter to be sent to Representative Petka and Senator
Hudson both representing the Plainfield Area. This is in regard
to assistance in YDOT funding of the Vista Lane. We want them to
know that the Village is continuing to pursue for assistance to
this area. He also stated he has been in contact with Illinois
Department of Transportation, Division of Water Resources. It's a
matter of money, not that they want to overlook us. It was the
consensus of the Board that a lettex should be sent to
Representative Petka, Senator Hudson, Senator Dunn,
Representative McGuire and Representative Weller asking them for
their support.

W. Sharp acknowledged receipt of Expenditure Report for November
30, 1991.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a letter from Gary
Lichtenwalter. He is asking for a waiver of one tap-on in the
subdivision of "Back on James". The previous house at 505 James
Street, prior to the tornado was tapped onto Village mains. They
are assuming that .this tap-on can be used on one (1) of the three
(3) houses they will build. He has paid all three (3) tap-on
fees, so if the Board approves the request, this would be a
reimbursement of one (1) tap-on. After some discussion, it was
the consensus of the Board to waive one (1) tap-on.
J. Dement moved to charge "Back on James" two (2) tap-on fees,
the third tap-on shall be waived due to the tornado house at 505
James Street (formerly the Knowles house). Seconded by W. Sharp.
Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Sharp, yes; Gullicksen, yes;
Lambert, yes. ~ yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a letter from the Park
District. They would like an Intergovernmental Agreement between
the Village of Plainfield and Plainfield Park District far storm
water maintenance .and responsibility for Winding Creek
Subdivision. They would like to have a dual use of detention
areas for park .areas and storm water drainage. They are
concerned about maintenance and repair of storm drainage
facilities if they were to acquire that property as district
ownership. They would like the Village to maintain the storm
system on that property that would be designed and built as part
of the subdivision, without the Park District being responsible
for the maintenance of the storm system. They would mow and
maintain the property and the Village would be responsible if
there were a failure in the storm system. It was the consensus
of the Board to request the Park District to compile an agreement
and bring it back to the Board.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a letter from the Park
District. They are requesting permission to place a residence in
a trailer at Four Seasons Park to deter vandalism and Four Wheel
Drive off-road vehicle use at the Park. After some discussion it
was the consensus of the Board that it will be a quality trailer
and a limit of time will be placed on the duration of the
trailer, such as three (3) years. If it is a long term
situation, a permanent structure will be constructed.

acting on an agreement, you must go through the publication
process, which has not been initiated. No drafts of an agreement
have been submitted to the Plan Commission to be forwarded to the
Village Board. The Soard has no legal authority because not even
a hearing has been published. There was some discussion of a
possible manhole on 135th Street. It was the consensus that the
Village request Clark and the Lakelands Corporation to install a
manhole. This would be agreed upon by Mr. Kubinski's engineer
and our (Village) engineer as to the location. It will be the
property of the Village. Mr. Kubinski will place, on deposit,
sufficient cash to facilitate the construction. There are many
legal steps that we are required to follow.
