Mayor Latta read a Proclamation declaring April 21st through April

Engineer Robert Rogina wrote a letter to the Village dated February
14, 1991 in reference to a new procedure for "Letters of Credit" -
Reduction and Maintenance Periods. Attorney Harvey stated our
system has worked for us in the past and the question is, if we
change the system, is there any benefit to the Village? D.
Gullicksen stated he sees no reason to change. Mr, Charles Sharp,
Phoenix Developers, spoke stating his problems with our system.
Mr. William Perry from Rogina & Associates spoke stating he has
worked with other communities on their procedure for Letters of
Credit. Most towns stage the Letters of Credit. As an example,
there would be a Letter of Credit for 1) grading; 2) underground
utilities; 3) sub-base curb, gutter and binder; and 4) sidewalks.
This would limit the requests for reduction of Letters of Credit.
Attorney Harvey stated we do allow developments to be done in
stages. Therefore, this does permit maintenance bonds to occur
without waiting for the entire project to be completed. Planner
i Waldock stated he spoke to our engineer in reference to this
proposal and they are not having a problem administering the

current procedure that the Village follows. It was the consensus
of the Board that Mr. Sharp and Mr. Perry bring back to Village
staff two (2) or three (3) ordinances from other communities and
staff will review.
Paul Ditomo, Bell and Gustus Lighting, spoke in reference to the
Downtown Lighting. He explained different kinds of fixtures and
poles.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case. Applicants -
Randy Miller, Attorney and Material Service Corporation and Walter
and Joanne Glisson. Location - Illinois Route 126, west of I-55
Frontage Road. Request - Will County Rezoning from A-1
Agricultural to C-2 Commercial is now amended to E-1 Estate
District. Attorney Randy Miller spoke stating Mr. and Mrs. Glisson
would like to build an archery range in their home. They feel it
is compatible with the fishing clubs in the area and single-family
homes directly to the east. They will submit an annexation
petition to be filed at the time they are contiguous.
L. Kelly moved not to object to the rezoning from rezoning from
will County A-1 to E-1 Estate District for Material Service with
the following stipulations: 1) The subject site is to be annexed
when it becomes contiguous to the Village limits; and 2) Special
use permit to allow indoor archery range on ground level be
allowed. Seconded by J. Dement. Voice vote, 3 yes, 0 no. Motion
carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case. Applicant -
Attorney Tom Wilson, Lanny and Andrea Plough. Location -- Frederick
Street at Norman Avenue. Request - Frontage variation of twenty-
four (24) feet from Will County zoning regulations. The subject
site is nearly three (3) acres. They are requesting a sixty-six
(66) foot frontage for development of a church on the vacant two
(2) acre site. The Plan Commission is recommending no objection
to the frontage variation with three (3) stipulations. There were
some concerns by some neighbors relating to traffic and drainage.
Attorney Tom Wilson spoke representing the Jehovah Witness Church.
If the variation is allowed, they (Jehovah Witnesses) will purchase
the property and build their church and issue an annexation
agreement to annex when they become contiguous. L. Kelly requested
that we add to the motion that they will supply us with a site plan
including a storm water management program.
L. Kelly moved to not object to the frontage variation by Lanny
and Andrea Plough for their property on Frederick Avenue at Norman
Avenue subject to the following stipulations: 1) Site plan review
and approval by the Village of Plainfield prior to building and the

site plan to contain a stormwater management program; 2)
Connections to Village water and sewer utilities; and 3) Annexation
to the Village when the site becomes contiguous. Annexation
petition and agreement must be filed with the Village in advance.
Seconded by D. Gullicksen. Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Kelly,
yes; Gullicksen, yes. 3 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case #294-2691TA Amendment
to the Sign Ordinance. What is being requested is: 1) Ground Sign
Setbacks - currently ground signs have a ten foot (10') setback
requirement and we are requesting five foot (5') sign setback in
the Central Sign District (downtown); and 2) Project Identification
Signs - currently are not provided for in the sign code. This
could be the property owner, development in construction sign. We
need to add this type of sign to provide for this. It would be
similar to a real estate sign; Temporary signs - currently
temporary signs are limited to twenty-one (21) days per calendar
year. This is difficult to enforce, we are requesting thirty (30)
days renewable permit is proposed which can be denied for health,
safety and welfare reasons. The Board had concerns of the real
estate signs that give direction to the property from one side of
town to the other. It was the consensus of the Board to send a
letter to the Real Estate offices around the Village stating the
Village's concerns of these signs. Planner Waldock stated he will
write a letter to the realtvrs stating their signs will be picked
up and the realtors will have to retrieve them at the Village Hall.
It was the consensus of the Board to direct the Attorney to compile
the ordinance on signs.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case #293-2691TA Text
Amendment to establish rear yard setback requirements for I-1,
Light Industrial zoning district. Currently, there are no rear
yard setback requirements. We are requesting a fifty foot (50')
rear yard setback. It was the consensus of the Board that the
Attorney should compile an ordinance.
J. Dement stated all Board members received a listing of the
sidewalk program for this summer. We plan on doing more sidewalks
this year.
D. Gullicksen spoke in reference to Lakelands Off-Site Plan. It
was the consensus of the Board that no improvements have been made.
Therefore, no more money will be issued and the Attorney was
directed to write a letter of this decision.
L. Kelly reported we have received an Accreditation - Emergency
Services and Disaster Agency for Plainfield in Will County. ESDA
should be included on the Tax Levy for 1991/1992. Tt would be
approximately $.25 per person on the latest census, which would
amount to $1,139.25 for the year.

Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a request from Wadsworth Golf
Construction that a sign be placed on the Village-right-of-way
directing trucks to Coilplus. This is to help the truck drivers
who are unfamiliar with the area to get to Coilplus and keep them
off Van Dyke Road. These heavy loads are affecting the road.
Also, when these trucks turn around in business driveways, they
have caused damage. The Board directed the Planner to proceed with
the sign.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a request from Car Collection
- Ted Benson. He is asking for some consideration to his property
as was given to the other dealers on Route 30 at the time of the
annexation. Waiver of sewer and water tap-on fees and allow him
to keep his well for use of washing cars only. It was the
consensus that there might have been an easement granted and these
questions could have been addressed at that time. It will be
checked into and brought back to the Board.
Chief Bennett spoke in reference to a proposed Solicitors
Ordinance. It was the consensus of the Board the term of the
registration will be fourteen (14) days. License fee will be
$10.00 plus an additional $5.00 per person in excess of two (2)
who will be operating under the license. This ordinance shall be
drafted and brought back to the Board.
