Mr. Norene, Bond Consultant, spoke. stating the low bid on our
banding was Northern Trust Company of Chicago at a rate of
7.43581. The bonds sold with insured bonds, meaning they sold
with insurance AAA, It will cost roughly $210,000 per year of debt
service. we are selling Alternate Bonds. We are selling General
Obligation Bonds to be paid for from revenues from the system.
Under that law, we must have rates sufficient to produce the 1.25
times ,coverage, a $1.25 available for debt service for every $1.00
of debt service. The rate increase, using the 6/30/88 audit,
indicated an increase of 23~ for water purposes. Because of some
changes, Mr. Hamilton (Engineer) found, there has been growth.
Mr. Hamilton found a 15~ increase in water and sewer.. It will be
sufficient. Mr. Norene stated, we did very well in the market
place. It is our recommendation the Village Board accept the bid
of the Northern Trust and adopt the Bond Ordinance and the Rate
Increase Ordinance. Mayor Latta questioned regarding the G.O.
Bonds. We have to give that information to the County Clerk and

we must notify her before March 1st each year not to levy those
taxes because we have the revenue to care far those bonds. Mr.
Norene stated the abatement process is exactly the way you
described. J. Dement questioned what will the cost be far the
issuance of these bonds? Mr. Norene stated he cannot give actual

of insurance (approximately) $20,000, printing (approximately)
$2,200; printing bands (approximately) $1,000; bond registrar
(approximately) $700; summary advertisements (approximately)

expansion. If there are any projects in the future, we (Deuchler)

Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Planning Case No.
205-217892. Applicant - First Midwest Bank of Illinois, Trust No.
2640; Craig Wright, agent., Location - Lot 1, Country Manors,
First Addition just north of Mobil Station near the intersection
of Route 126 and Route 59, across from White Hen Pantry, Nabby's
and Twist and Shake and just east of residential. Request -
Currently the site is zoned B-3. They are requesting B-4 Business
designation to allow a drive-up window on the site. The purpose
of the rezoning request is to accommodate construction of a fast
food restaurant with drive-up window. The proposed development
would include improvements to Route 59 to install left and right
turn lanes to facilitate access to and from the site. Access to
the site would be provided by a two-way driveway aligned with the
intersection of Naperville/Plainfield Road with Route 59. An exit
only drive, near the south lot line of the site is proposed.
Route 59 will be widened, possibly to a three (3) lane expansion.
D. Gullicksen stated his concern of the traffic and the width of
the expansion of Route 59. J. Dement stated he would like a
professional engineer to look into these plans. Planner Waldock
stated the Plan Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommends
approval of the rezoning from B-3 to B-4 with the following
stipulations: 1) Provisions of improvements to Route 59 to include
left and right turn lanes and limited access drives as proposed on
plans dated 12/22/88, prepared by Rogina and Associates; and 2)
Completion of full site plan review far approval by the Pian
Commission and Village Board for specific development of the site
with attention given screening and buffering for adjacent
residential properties. Minimum grading and screening with a
combination of berms, plantings and fencing to a height of 8 feet
with 100 visual screen. The issue,. at this time, is the zoning
and. land use. Administrator Pusinelli stated at the time, we
receive the site plan, we can have a traffic engineer review the
plans (reference to the road design) then he (traffic engineer)
could comment to the Board of his findings. Planner Waldock
stated the Board has received a written objection from adjacent
property owners, which is approximately 20~ of the perimeter.
Attorney Craig Wright spoke representing the land owners of the
property in question. He stated the owners/trust have entered
into an agreement with Eric and Marlan Reishus. There plans are
to develop the entire tract of land. Lot #1 is zoned B-3 properly
for a Burger King, but a B-4 zoning would allow a drive-through
facility. Eric Reishus spoke stating he is now running two (2)
stores for the past three (3) years in Lockport and Palos Heights,
Illinois. They are proposing to build a Burger King on lot #1 and
develop the rest of the property into four (4) parcels on the
north side. The northern parcel, lot #5 near the tracks, will be
used to remove soil to build up the other lots, #3 and #4, out of

the flood way. Then we will have a 4 1/2 acre parcel (lot #5) to
be leveled and seeded and we intend to give the parcel (lot #5) to
the Park District for a park along the river. We are planning
extensive improvements on Route 59. He stated their busy time is
during lunch hour and dinner hour from approximately 5:30 p.m. to
6:30 p.m. We plan to adequately berm and screen lot #1 from
residents with a two (2) foot earthen around and six (6) foot wood
on wood fence. The speakers to be used are much better and volumne,
is low. They intend to employ about 35 people, 5 of which will be
full-time. Sales taxes will be approximately $50,000 to $52,000
per year and approximately $8,000 will be coming back to the
Village. The real estate taxes will be approximately $12,000 per
year. Mr. Reishus displayed a preliminary site plan which Burger
King had drawn approximately two (2)~months ago. D. Gullicksen
questioned how important is the drive-up window? Mr. Reishus
stated that Burger King would not allow a restaurant without a
drive-through. Approximately 53~ of the business is conducted at
our drive-through windows. The hours of normal operations for
summer: Sunday - 0:30 a.m, to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday
- 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday - 6:30 a,m. to 12
midnight. Winter hours, closing would be one (1) hour earlier.
We have to start construction by July 1, 1989. Edward Schrader,
913 Penn Road, spoke of his concerns for him and his neighbors who
are property owners adjacent to the Burger King property. He
stated their concerns are the hours the facility will operate,
seven (7) days a week, from early morning to late at night, noise,
smell, lighting and housekeeping. This property adjoins backyards
of five (5) single-family residences. He was also concerned o£
the space to drive fire emergency vehicles to the site and traffic
which would use Michigan Street to get away from the intersection
of Naperville Road and Route 59, Ed Woods, 905 Penn Road, spoke
stating he objects because it will .affect everyone (on Penn Road)
with their property backing up to the Burger King. There will be
cars entering and exiting making noise. He is concerned with the
retention pond at the north, will it be higher or lower than his
property and who will have the maintenance on the pond? Mayor
Latta stated some of your concerns would be resolved with the
final engineering of the development. Mr. Reishus stated this
would not be a retention pond. It will be a grassy park area that
slopes to the river. There would be no standing water at this
location, He stated they would be willing to channel the water
through a concrete channel north from the end of the storm sewer
at the end of Penn Road. There was much discussion on the
screening at the rear of Burger King. D. Gullicksen stated his
concerns for traffic coming from Naperville Road crossing Route 59
to get into Burger King because it will be some time before a
traffic light is installed at the intersection. There was much
discussion on the elevation.

K. Callanan moved to accept the Plan Commission recommendation and
approve the rezoning of Lot 1, Country Manor First Additon from
B-3 to B-4 with the following stipulations: 1) Provisions of
improvements to north and south bound traffic lanes on Route 59
and limited access drives as proposed on plans dated 12/22/88
prepared by Raging and Associates; 2) Completion of full site plan
review for approval by both the Plan Commission and Village Board
for specific development of the site with attention given
screening and buffering for adjacent residential properties;
minimum grading and screening with a combination of berms,.
plantings, trees and fencing to a 100 visual screen; 3) The south
exit be designed for right turn only; 4) Review of width of main
entrance as to being adequate for ease of turning; and 5)
Stipulations #1, #2, #3, and #4 will be reviewed by a traffic
engineer of the Village's choice. Seconded by J. Bootz. Vote by
roll call. Kelly, yes; Dement, yes; Gullicksen, yes; Baotz, yes;
Lewin, yes; Callanan, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the Zoning Ordinance (No.
674) to repeal residential land uses as permitted in B-1, B-2 and
B-3 Business Districts. The Village Board has directed staff to
proceed with amendment of the Business zoning classifications to
address concerns aver residential uses now permitted in B-1, B-2
and B-3 zoning districts. A review of surrounding communities
regulations reveals that most do not include residential
developments as permitted uses in Business zones. As a result of
the anticipation of more business zoning areas soon to be
established through annexation and zoning amendments, this issue
comes to your attention at this time. Although staff feels that
there may be some merit to allowing residential dwellings in the
Central Business District and perhaps in the mast limited Business
zone, these mix use categories should be considered in„conjunction
with the new Zoning Ordinance. At the present time, it is
advisable to simply remove residential uses from the list of
permitted uses in the Business Zoning Districts. J. Dement
questioned the existing residential in the downtown area. Planner
Waldock stated the existing residential structures would be
grandfathered after this ordinance was amended. There can be an
argument in favor of having residential units in the historic type
of downtown area.
The Board directed Attorney Harvey to draft an ordinance amending
Ordinance No. 674 to repeal residential land uses as permitted
uses in the B-1, B-2 and B-3 Business Districts.
