Mayor Latta read a letter from Plainfield Volunteer Firefighter's
Women's Association requesting permission to put a sign on
Andreason Travel property to advertise their Spaghetti Dinner from
April 17, 1991 to April 21, ].991. The Board approved.
Brent Coulter spoke in reference to Downtown Lighting. He stated
the Soard directed him to look into poles and lights and he
recommends Lumec, Inc. They have the better poles. His suggestion
was a black ribbed steel pole fifteen feet (15') high, spacing
sixty feet (60') apart, Colonial six (6) sided fixture, banners no
larger than five feet (5'). There was some discussion of
foundations for future lamps from DesPlaines almost to the river.
The engineers estimate for U.S. Route 30 street lights east of
DesPlaines Street to east of Illinois Route 59 at an approximate
cost of $75,000. The Board would like the ballast at the base of
the post. Mike Lambert spoke in reference to the type of lights:
metal halide 10o weight or high pressure sodium. The Board agreed
to high pressure sodium lamp. Mr. Lambert stated it looks like the
Board is leaning towards the Williamburg Colonial type lamp. The
Task Force 30 Business people are favoring the Victorian Gas Lamp.
The Victorian is compatible with the structures in the Downtown
Area. J. Gaylord, W. Sharp and Mayor Latta stated they prefer the
Colonial fixture. Debbie Olsen from Task Force 30 stated they
tried to choose the most appropriate fixture for the historical
buildings downtown. Karen Callanan spoke in support of the
Victorian lamps. Mayor Latta stated if we do want our street to
be historically recognized, we should stay within that era. After
much much more discussion, the Board came to a conclusion.

corner of Chicago Street and Park Avenue. Mr. Waldock stated he
and the Building Inspector went through the house and found it
structurally sound and it will fit well into the neighborhood.

require a $10,000 bond. The Board required it not be moved before

not objection.

with monthly payments of $42.06 for five (5) years; sewer -
$1,684.41 per lot or $500 down with monthly payments of $25.17 for
five (5) years. No tap-on fees for either water or sewer. Also,
there is an option for both water and sewer; $1, 000 down and $67.22
per month. Mayor Latta directed Attorney Harvey to draft a letter
of intent for the people in Plainfield Acres. The Board will talk
later about extending the time of intent from June 1st to July 1st.
It was agreed Option #3 - no money down is not acceptable.
Mayor Latta stated Plainfield Township is requesting permission to
spray in the Village for mosquitos. Board approved.
Planner Waldock reported we have received a letter from Donald
Hubert who owns property at 407 Vista Lane. His home was destroyed
in the August, 1990 tornado and he is requesting an extension of
one (1) year. His variance expires on December 20, 1991. The
Board feels this request is premature and will handle at a later
date.
J. Dement requested that the complaints be written in the book for
all Trustees to be aware of the problems.

request at 405 Main Street to convert to a law office; Chicago,
Bridge & Iron site plan review for a 75, 000 square foot office
building; Arbor Of Plainfield Final Plat for Unit I.
