D. Gullicksen reported the construction has started in Plainfield
Acres on the sewer/water extension and we have had more
interested people in that area who would like to tap-on and that
is encouraging.
Administrator Fusinelli reported we have received quotes from
Layne-Western Company, Wehling Wells and Milaeger Company for the
drilling of Well #5. We are recommending the Village hire Layne-
Western because we have had them do work for the Village in the
past and have been well satisfied with their work. A summary of
the proposed construction to be done is listed in Baxter &
Woodman's letter dated January 14, 1991. After some discussion,
it was the consensus of the Board to bring this back to next
weeks meeting and ask Harry Countryman to attend the meeting to
give his input.
L. Kelly stated, in future, it would be advisable to look into
purchasing a generator on a truck with light bars for
emergencies.

the revised Zoning Regulations Ordinance. We would like to get
this adopted this summer (1991).
Planner Waldock gave an update on Renwick Pointe .and Arbor Place
(memo date 2/1/91). The developers of these two (2) projects
have been unable to agree on coordinating the phasing. After
much discussion it was the consensus of the Board that the
developers must get together and come up with an agreement.
Mayor Latta stated we are looking for three (3) things here
tonight: 1) Village contribution on Howard Street; 2) something
the Village can do to get all of Dan O'Connell Drive
reconstructed; and 3) answers to the lift station. D. Gullicksen
stated he cannot see putting money into Howard Street if the
Township doesn't want to pick up their portion. Mr. Searls
(Renwick Pointe) stated they are willing to put in Howard Street

all the way, but they expect the other developer to reconstruct
Dan O'Connell all the way. Mayor Latta stated the Board is
requesting the Planner to get back to the developers and work it
out.
Planner Waldock reported, we issued a "stop work" order to the
Keefe Bros. at the Old Electric Park site. Evidently, the State
had issued a flood-way development permit for them to construct a
one (1) car garage as an accessory building to the existing
squatters residence. We can not issue a building permit until we
receive a flood-way development permit from the State of
Illinois. The "stop work" order will stay in effect until we
receive a flood-way development permit from the State.
w. Sharp moved to adjourn. Seconded by J. Gaylord. Voice vote.
