President P_terson's Comments:
Concerning the letters I sent out to the various public agencies
regarding a round table meeting, I have received a formal reply
from the Plainfield Library District and an informal reply from the
Plainfield Township. At this time, T have had no reply from the
Plainfield Park District or School District.
Tonight, we will be considering a Bed and Breakfast Ordinance, a
Subdivision-The Reserve of Plainfield at Rt. 126 and I55,
Subdivision-Arbor of Plainfield, townhouse development on Renwick
Rd. Tomorrow night the Plainfield Planning Commission will be
considering an ordinance on Related Living Units in private
residences, and a new Walkers Grove Subdivision. A reminder that
this is the first week that the new garbage contractor will be in
place, and collection this week will be on Friday, August 6, 1993.
Last Monday night the Village Board of Trustees and myself started
a debate on goals and objections which has been broadcast on Cable
TV. It will be re-broadcast and I encourage everyone to watch.
Trustee Kelly made comments relative to the Wescom Communication
Center. Mayor Peterson is a member of the Board, he asked me to
attend the annual meeting this past week. The 911 system for the
month of June received 10,302 calls across the county, the
Plainfield Dispatch center represents 1A~ of all the calls. Joliet
was 37$. An educational program is necessary to the public, that
in a weather situation, if your call is not to report an emergency,
please do not call 911. You are better off to stay inside, turn on
radio or put on your local cable station. Otherwise, the 911
system becomes overloaded with non-emergency calls. Also spoke on
the situation in the Mississippi River Valley. Tf anyone chooses
to be of assistance, rather than sending food or clothing, if they

would please forward money or a check through their local church,
American Red Cross, Salvation Army or the Robert McCormick Fund
with the Tribune. The McCormick Fund will match dollars.
Trustee Heimerdinger commented that he hopes that the Planning and
Development Committee meetings would include other committees, as
well. He hopes that the Ways and Means Committee would be able to
have input. Trustee Lambert stated that everyone is invited to
attend. He assured Trustee Heimerdinger that any issues relative
to the financing of any item will come back to the Ways and Means
Committee.
Trustee Ray announced that Cable TV will be having a panel
discussion on gangs within the Plainfield Community Area on
Thursday, August 12, 1993. President Peterson also acknowledged a
meeting on Wednesday, August 4, 1993 in Shorewood of the Gang Task

The draft Ordinance proposed with this case will provide an
amendment to the current Zoning Ordinance simply to add Bed and

Approval in Residential Zoning Districts. The Plan Commission
recommends approval of a Text Amendment to allow Bed and breakfast
Inns as a Special Use in Residential Zoning Districts, subject to
revision as follows: Define Historic Significance; open the
ordinance to apply Village Wide; provide for annual inspections as
part of licensing requirements; change reference to "Historic
Homes" as generally being considered 5o years old rather than 80 as
originally drafted. Much discussion was heard regarding the pros
and cons of Bed and Breakfast Inns. The applicant, Joan McGowan

Workshop for further consideration.

Planner Waldock spoke regarding Rezoning from Res. A Single-family
to Res. A-2, multi family at a 9.7 acre site. ation• 1,250 ft.
east of Illinois Rt. 59 and 1,100 ft. west of Howard Avenue along
the south side of Renwick Road in the Arbor of Plainfield
Subdivision. A ~1'cant: Arbor of Plainfield Inc., Developer: Howard
Koop, Agent. Current zonin Residence A, Single-family
residential. Com rehensive la Single-family Residential.
The subject site in this case is a 9.7 acre out lot along the west
property line of Arbor of Plainfield south of Renwick Road. The
applicants are requesting a re-zoning to accommodate construction
of 57 town home units. Staff notes that the Comprehensive Plan
specifically calls for single-family residential development at the
subject site. All adjoining land to the re-zoning site is
projected at the present time for single-family development only.
The re-zoning site is not contiguous to land uses of a more intense
category than single--family residential. During the Public
Hearings for the two previous re-zoning attempts at the subject
site, substantial public opposition was identified. Petitions with
over 200 names were presented to the Village in opposition.
Parcels along Rt. 59 or immediately adjoining commercially zoned
properties are better suited for moderate density development.
The Plan Commission recommends denial of the requested re-zoning
from Res A, Single-family Residential to Res A-2 Multi Family
Residential. There was discussion among the Board members. Tom
Wilson, attorney for Zone and Norm Mueller spoke regarding the
inappropriate use of multi family on this site. Howard Koop,
Developer was present and gave his reasons for the continued
pursuit of multi-family zoning.
L. Ke11y moved that we concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and deny the re-zoning from Res A, Single-
family Residential to Res A-2 Multi Family. Seconded by J. Dement.
Vote by roll call. Dement, yes; Heimerdinger, yes; Kelly, yes;

U. S. Route 30. The Village of Plainfield was successful in
obtaining approximately $250,000 in grant funds to complete the
ornamental street lights on Lockport Street from Illinois Route 59
to Main Street. Staff anticipates that the bids would be
advertised in September, if IDOT addresses the funding source, with
an opening in October. The question of maintenance of the lights

applicants.

raise some funds for some of our existing charities. Net $31.00
for Easter Seals.
Planner Waldock spoke regarding a Letter from Arbor of Plainfield
requesting a reduction in their Letters of Credit. In accordance
with Village policy, a reduction in Credit is a bit premature at
this time, but it is anticipated that that would be ready in the
near future.

Subdivision. These projects are seeing steady progress, and with
