President Peterson asked for the naming of a Trustee to the Police
Committee to be tabled to the next regular meeting
Chief Bennett explained an agreement between the Village of
Plainfield and the Plainfield Township Park District. Tt is a
renewal of our current contract that we have with the Plainfield
Township Park District for closing and securing gates in Van Horn
Woods and Four Seasons Park. It is for specific hours, and the
Park District notifies us when they want an officer in the park for
a special event. The contract amount is basically the same as in
the past.
J. Heimerdinger discussed last week's Enterprise regarding a letter

problem. They are working with the Plainfield Township Park
District over the closing hours at the Village Green. He stated
that through this contract we will be able to identify the problems
and work with the specific concerns of the Park District. J. Dement
said sometimes it is more than just the verbal noise, occasionally
some bring a "boom box" with very large speakers.' He also asked
Chief Bennett to address that issue also.

Planner Waldock spoke regarding Rod Baker Ford Lighting. President
Peterson and Trustee Dement had the opportunity to visit the Rod
Baker Ford car lot to discuss exterior lighting with the property
owner and with neighboring residents who had expressed concerns
over lighting glare. Tt appears that this meeting has resulted in
changes to the exterior lighting that will adequately reduce the
glare from the premises to appease the concerns that were
identified. The standing issues still remain - the issuance of
occupancy certificates and. the final formal approval of the site
plan for these lights. Staff recommends and requests that the
Village Board take action to formally approve the lighting plan as
presently existing on the subject site and this would conclude the
approval process for the plan and allow for the issuance of the
permanent occupancy certificates for that site. Discussion was had
on proper documentation.
M. Lambert moves to have issued final occupancy certificates based
on the correction of the glare problem. Seconded by R. Rock.
Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 388--042893.FP.
~policant - Donald and Angela Cook. Location ., 1814 Sunshine
Circle. Request - Final Plat/Lot split for Cook's Re--Subdivision.
This is a minor lot split to facilitate the planned division and
transfer of two sides of an existing duplex. The lot is presently
fully improved. The Cooks' simply desire to split the property
into two subdivided lots and transfer each independently of one
another, rather than selling the duplex as a unit. The mechanism
available by the Subdivision Code, is through the formal planning
process. We have combined the preliminary and final plat together
in one subdivision plat. The exterior setbacks are unchanged and
there is no construction proposed with this process. There is a 0
lot line situation being created, a common lot line between the two
units separates the units of the building. Planning Commission is
recommending unanimously to approve Cook's Resubdivision, including
provisions far 0 lot line setback of the common property line
between lots 1 and 2 of the Resubdivision as proposed.
Discussions were had regarding if there were two water services to
that property or one water service. Mr. Countryman stated that
in that area there is one water service, but it splits off into two
separate buffalo boxes.
J. Dement moved to approve the Cook's Re-Subdivision including
provisions for a 0 lot line setback for the common property between
lots one and two of Cook's Resubdivision as proposed. Seconded by

Administrator Van Vooren spoke in reference to the Payout Request
#2 and Final on the Water Main to Well #5. Recently the Village
Board made the original payout #1 in the change order. This payout
would close the project relative to our expenses. The project came
in at $35,604.28 and payout is seeking $5,571.24. The contractor
has placed on deposit with us a one year performance bond to
guarantee the workmanship. The Village Engineer concurs with
Staff's request to recommend payment of $5,571.24 to Wm. B.
Soltwisch & Co. Said funds to come from Account #12-03-91-0501
the Water/Sewer Tap-On Fund. This was reviewed by the Public Works
Committee at their most recent meeting, and they felt it was
appropriate.
L. Kelly moved to authorize payout#2 and final payout to Well #5,
in the amount of $5,571.24 to Wm. B. Soltwisch & Co. Seconded by
J. Dement. Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motian carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 387-042693 SPR.
. Ap„blicant - American Medical Design Corporation, Agents. Location
- Along the west side of Route 59 approximately one eighth mile
north of Renwick Road. , Request - Site Plan Review for Village
Medical Care Center. The subject site in this case has been divided
from the 11 acre commercial tract located along the west side of
Rt. 59 about an 1/8 of a mile north of Renwick Road. Subject site
is presently undeveloped, is an agricultural parcel now seeing it's
first development request. The proposal is for the construction of
three 5000 sq. ft. medical structures, of one story each. Plans
also include parking for 87 cars. An additional 62 future parking
spaces are also provided on the prints. Current zoning at the site
is B-3, Business Zoning, and the land use proposed here is in
conformance and is consistent with the zoning at the subject site.
Exterior lighting plans have been provided by the applicants. They
include provisions for two twin head, 20ft. high poles. They are
high pressure sodium "shoe box" style lighting, which directs light
immediately to the ground. Also provided are five, 20ft. high
single head "shoe box" style lights. They are the same style, only
differences is that they are a single head, located as noted on the
development plan. No wall mounted lamp details have been
presented. All lighting must be screened and/or directed to avoid
glare on the adjoining properties. The building facade is designed
of masonry. The facade includes a split faced concrete block
design with face brick inlays. The design is conformant to the
development regulations of the Village. Parking and drive areas
are bituminous, they are boarded by curb and gutter where
designated on the plan. They are also compliant with the Zoning
Ordinance provisions for parking and development regulations for

materials in the parking lot, The site includes a 26ft. wide drive
aisle, accessing on the north end of Rt. 59. Parking and drive
areas. as compared to Village Regulations are acceptable as
presented. The Zoning ordinance would require 82.5 parking spaces
for 15,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. Tn this case they are
groviding 87. Future parking spaces should be sufficient to
accommodate building expansions on the subject site. Planning
Commission expressed some concerns with regard to the location of
the access point on Rt. 59. At the Planning Commission level we
looked at potential for a shared access with the future outlot an
the subject site. The Planning Commission has found the present
layout to be acceptable, however, would leave open the need for a
secondary access for the outlot onto Rt. 59. The plans do provide
for stormwater detention. This detention area is located in the
southwest corner of the site. The plans call for .73 acre ft. of
storage, expandable to .93 acre ft. for the full five acres of
property area. Landscaping Plans provide 185 approved plantings
800 additional ground cover plants are also provided in the central
court area between the buildings. Site development regulations
require 240 approved plantings for the subject site. Staff feels
that additional plantings should be provided along the north
property line to buffer future residential areas. Further, the
. northwest corner of the site appears to be suitable for additional
planting as well. Additional Skyline Honey Locust trees (2) should
be provided in the island area for the future parking spaces
located in the center of the east parking Lot. The types and sizes
of plantings are acceptable under Site Development regulations.
Trash Enclosures are provided for each of the three proposed
buildings. Village regulations require such enclosures to provide
100 visual screen. Tn general, the site plan provides good
traffic circulation. A single 26 ft. wide access to Rt. 59 is
sufficient to accommodate safe entry and exit from the property.
The Fire Department has looked at this plan and found it to be
acceptable in accordance with their needs. The plan provides
provisions for a future outlot in the southeast corner of the
subject site. This outlot, when approved via proper Subdivision
Ordinance procedures may provide a future development site. Tt is
likely that future development on the outlot would be unrelated to
the medical facilities. Generally the plan is acceptable. Further
details regarding grading and drainage plans must be reviewed by
the Village Engineer. Some of those details have been submitted,
others have not and I believe we are still gathering data on that
regard. The Plan Commission recommends approval of the Village
Medical Care Center, subject to stipulations far compliance with
the Village Engineer's report for utility installation, stormwater
detention, and grading; the exterior lighting to be screened or
directed to avoid glare on adjoin properties; additional landscape
plantings shall be provided along the north and northwest property
line. Those plantings have. been satisfied at this time. The
dumpster enclosures at 100 visual screen.

H. Hamilton, Village Engineer discussed 3 items of major concern.
Overland surface route of 100 year flood was a major concern and
will be corrected by lowering proposed high point south of parking
area. They will be changing the positions of the hydrants and will
be adding some general notes to the plans to bring things up to
Village Standard. On-site sanitary sewer must be changed from 6"
to 8" between manholes. It is not a village requirement, but it is
a state requirement.
Dr. Corwin stated their plan is to expand the family practice which
is located in the strip mall on Rt. 59 into the front building. It
will be a 5000 sq. ft. building made up of family practitioners and
will also have specialists coming in to sub-lease space,
cardiologists, surgeons, various subspecialists. The building
slightly to the north, also in the .front, will be operated by St.
Joseph's Medical Center for diagnostic testings. The third
building, in the back, will be occupied by a podiatrist and a
chiropractor and we will be looking for a dentist or an
opthmologist/optometrist. We are under time constraints and
weather constraints and expect to break ground at the end of May or
beginning of June, pending your approval.
L. Kelly questioned H. Hamilton as to time frame as to filing
permits with IEPA and IDOT. H. Hamilton stated that IEPA will be
a 45 day planning review and IDOT will be shorter than that. IDOT
could possibly want turn lanes placed on the road. Dr. Corwin's
architect stated that a submittal had been made to IDOT last week
in an effort to receive a confirmation of set back. M. Lambert
stated that besides the engineering and the right-of-way, which
both need to be resolved, there are additional issues that Planning
Commission brought up about the entranceway. I worry what will
happen to the future outlot and the number of driveway cuts we will
be ending up with along this section of Rt. 59. T believe a
Medical Campus is an asset to the community, but I hope that it is
done in a way to encourage a high level of development along Rt.
59. Planner Waldock stated that the Planning Commission concluded
that this would be an acceptable site plan.
J. Heimerdinger moved that we approve the plat of the Medical
Center subject to the stipulations in the letter of May 17, 1993
from Hamilton Engineering and requirements by IDOT and IEFA and
submission of the final engineering plans for the sewer and water
and subject to issuance of building permits. Seconded by J.

Administrator Van Vooren stated that the Village has been
contacted by Mr. Thomas Holtz, IDOT Maintenance Engineer regarding
the need to repair the driveway at 23343 West U. S. 30. The
PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
MAY 17, 1993
PAGE EIGHT
driveway in question has settled as a result of the water and sewer
main construction on U.S. Route 30. The Village did place with
TROT a five year maintenance bond to guarantee the work within
their right-of-way. The Village Engineer Joe Regis obtained three
proposals to repair the driveway. Mr. Regis recommended the
removal of the exiting material and to replace it. This method
will allow for better compaction to avoid additional settling.
The Staff recommends that the President and Board of Trustees
accept the alternate bid from P.T. Ferro Construction Company in
the amount of $2,352.50 to repair the driveway at 23343 West U. S.
30.
J. Dement moves to approve the bid from P. T. Ferro Construction
Company in the amount of $2,352.50 to repair the driveway at 23343
West U. S. 30. Seconded by M. Lambert. Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no.
Motion carried.
Administrator Van Vooren talked about the Village's acquired right-
of-way along Plainfield/Naperville Road from Mr. Sari in order to
install the water and sewer facilities to the Lakelands. As part
of our agreement, the Village agreed to install water and sewer
facilities to Mr. Sari's three lots. Previously, the Village
Board authorized Hamilton Engineering to develop plans for said
services. Additional, they reviewed the .proposals received and
selected Baish Construction to complete the necessary work. We
have now submitted a permit to IDOT to complete the construction
within their right-of-way. Per the conditions of their permit, a
$3,000.00 bond is required. Staff recommends that the Village
Board authorize staff to obtain the necessary maintenance bond to
complete the work on the Sari project.
L. Kelly moves that we authorize Staff to obtain the necessary
maintenance bonds to complete the work on the Sari project.

Public Works National Meeting which is coming up in September. I
would like for us to authorize having tickets acquired to take
advantage of the half price fare which is available. The Meeting
is in Phoenix.

L. Kelly brought up two other issues. He passed out the overview
of the Emergency Operations Plan for the Village of Plainfield.
This is the old review and not the final plan submittal. Prior to
this year, this was acceptable for state accreditation.. Under the
new requirements there are now 14 points that we must complete.
That document should be completed by the end of June, so it can be
submitted to County for review prior to submission to the State of
Illinois before the August 1st deadline. On Friday of last week,
I met with representatives of the American Red Cross relative to a
Mutual Aid Agreement between the Village of Plainfield and the
American Red Cross for Emergency Considerations. This would allow
for sheltering to be addressed by the Red Cross, as well as
assistance from their damage assessment teams. I would request
the Village Attorney to review the last two pages, which is the
Statement of Understanding between American Red Cross Mid America
Chapter and see if his recommendation would be that this be signed
and placed into effect. Perhaps he could give us a report at the
next meeting.
Administrator Van Vooren spoke about the recent Public Works
Committee meeting in which. four Trustees met. They decided to
split into two committees. The Committees spent time discussing
where in the operation of this particular Public works, Cable TV
fell. They are asking that Cable TV be replaced and could be
better served as a component of Public Safety and Communications.

Administrator Van Vooren talked about the rescheduling of a
Transportation Meeting for June 3, 1993 at 10:00 a.m. in Schaumburg
with the District #1 Officials of IDOT.
Chief Bennett described a request received from the Golden Meadows
Estates homeowners to close Columbine Circle for a Block Party on
June 5, 1993 from 3:OOp.m. to 10:00 p.m. J. Dement commented that
the Street Department needed to be informed of the date regarding
the barricades.
Administrator Van Vooren talked about a letter from the Illinois
Department of Transportation relative to the Enhancement Grant
which Plainfield submitted for sidewalk bike path access along U.
PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
MAY 17, 1993
PAGE TEN
S. Route 30 and the relocation of the Renwick Bridge and the
connection of downtown to Whispering Creek. As you are aware, we
were unsuccessful in obtaining that funding for application of the
first cycle, this is an announcement letter that they are seeking
resubmittals of those particular applications and are submittal
deadline is August 2, 1993. Staff will be sending this down to
streets and sidewalks to confer about the routing and location of
this particular access grant, and it would be are intention to
resubmit, unless otherwise directed by the Village Board on a
Sidewalk Bicycle Access Plan to the Enhancement Grant Program.
Administrator Van Vooren discussed Upcoming events - Strawberry
Fest on May 22 and 23, 1993, Expo 1993 is October 9, 1993 and an
announcement that the 1993 Christmas Ornaments are coming. Will
County Governmental League Annual Meeting is on June 10, 1993 and
held at White Fence Farm. He also talked about reports relative
to water pumpage and usage, wastewater flow, current sales tax.
Administrator Van Vooren talked about discussions relative to the
acceptance of utilities out on the Lakelands. The Lakelands
Corporation has asked for some clarification as to when the Village
accepts Public Utilities. I believe, we'll accept the public
. utilities that are constructed upon the transfer of the Bill of
Sale and the completion of all construction related activities on
those utilities. Punch list items need to be completed. Once the
Punch list items are complete, there is a transfer of the Bill of
Sale and on the Lakelands Annexation Agreement it spells out that
it must also prepare a Bi11 of Sale for the transfer of the public
utilities and at that time they become property of the Village of
Plainfield. We still maintain in the form of a Letter of Credit,
or in a surety in a bond company acceptable by the Village, 10~ of
the construction costs to guarantee said public utilities, but they
are Village utilities at that time.
J. Harvey stated that in our agreements with the Lakelands, their
engineer certifies to Hamilton, our engineer, that the improvements
have been completed and once that is done, then our engineer
certifies to us that they are now in acceptable form and then
within a 30 day period, a Bi11 of Sale and Deed is prepared by
Lakelands.
J. Dement moved to approve to substitute a corporate surety bond in
place of the Letter of Credit from Lakelands Corporation in the
amount of $163,532.00 subject to the approval of Attorney Harvey.
Seconded by R. Rock. Vote by roll call. Dement, yes;

• Planner Waldock stated that Mr. Russell Scent and Dr. Conklin
presented letters concerning a land erosion problem at the South
. PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
MAY 17, 1993
PAGE ELEVEN
property line of 610 James. I had recommended to each that this be
remanded to the development committee to sort it out. It appears
to be a civil matter between adjoining landowners. There might be
some minor building permit conditions that are not being complied
with which relate to permits required prior to any grading or earth
work.
Mr. Russell Scent who resides at 608 James Street stated that Mr.
Conklin agreed to take care of this bank, place grass seed and
properly maintain it. *passed out pictures of problem land
erosion
Dr. Conklin spoke regarding the land problem.' The landowner to
the south of 610 James Street is removing land along the property
line thus undermining my property and leading to an erosion
problem. *passed out pictures of problem land erasion
M. Lambert questioned Planner Waldock as to what kind of
information did we have when it was brought for site plan review.
Did we have a contour site plan? Planner Waldock believes there is
a TOPOL, although, the contour has probably changed as a result of
reconstruction of homes in the area. M. Lambert recommended that
we table this discussion until we can pull up the drawings and get
us more informed as to what was approved at that time. Planner
Waldock also recommended that this be remanded to the Development
Committee for detail review at that level.
President Peterson asked M. Lambert if his Development Committee
would consider this problem. They agreed and stated that they were
meeting Wednesday night, and would appreciate it, if Planner
Waldock could get them the information before their meeting.
Mr. Conklin asked what is being done with the land adjacent to the
SW corner of 610 James Street? The once existing structure was
destroyed in the tornado and what is now there is a pile of rubble
from the foundation enhanced with weeds. Administrator Van Vooren
stated that the Village is still in the process of acquiring all of
the lots, they haven't secured title to all the lots left, that one
being in question. The lot should meet the Village Code relative
to nuisance and weeds.
M. Lambert stated that the Transportation Committee made a
recommendation to the previous administration that. it be disbanded
and the Board's consensus at that time was not to disband it until
after the election to see what this Board wanted to do. At this
time, I would like to make~a recommendation to this Board that the
Transportation Committee be disbanded, and to personally send a
Thank you letter to all the people that served on that Committee.
M. Lambert has some questions about a fence ordinance, and he's had

MAY 17, 1993

a couple calls today with people who have picket fences rotting and
want to know if they should throw them out, or if there will be a
fence ordinance coming soon. Planner Waldock stated that there
is a hearing on the Fence Ordinance scheduled for June 15, 1993.
Planner Waldock talked regarding sign regulations for Neumann
Development. R. Rock asked if we heard from Neumann regarding the
signage? Planner Waldock stated that they changed their placement
of advertising signage along Rt. 59.
Discussions were brought up relative to the sidewalk bike path.
