$150,000. IDOT will install, at their cost, the underground cable
and the foundation removal. which is approximately $50,000. to
$60,000. in expense. The Village's share, assuming this plan is
constructed, would be approximately $150,000. to $190,000. minus

$130,000. This cost covers the light posts, twin fixtures -
luminars, conduit and cable, new controller, foundations,
grounding electric service installation, removal of existing
lighting units, existing poles and existing foundations. The

feet apart. This would meet the State standards far lighting.

was destroyed and we purchased that lot to give us access to this
island property. Last month, Gary Pheifer (associate) met with
the Plan Commission with the idea of constructing three (3)
single family homes, (cluster homes) on the property, with
attached garages. Access would be on James Street with visitors
parking available. The homes would be 1200 - 1300 square feet
with two (2) car garages. At this time, we plan to build them
for rental properties, but could be sold in the future. The
consensus of the Board was that this is a very good use of this
property.
