Mayor Latta read a Proclamation declaring April 21st through April 27, 1991 as "Organ And Tissue Donor Awareness Week". 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 PLAINFIELD VILLAL3E HOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 18, 1991 PAGE TWO current procedure that the Village follows.

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.

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. PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRIISTEES MARCH 18, 1991 PAGE FOUR 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. J.
