PLAT.
J. Durbin stated that the request is for an annexation agreement, the annexation, and the
establishment orB-4 and B-1 zoning for property located at the southwest comer of Lily Cache
Road and Rt. 30. This would accommodate the expansion of Todd's Body Shop and a

property, but they would pay tap-on utility fees and a line connection of $1,576.00. There was
discussion on these requests. The agreement provides tap on waivers for the existing residential
property along Rt. 30, this is consistent with waivers that were provided at the time of
annexation. Future development of parcel 2 would require payment of the appropriate tap-on
fees. T. Burghard also requested that on the Annexation Agreement. Exhibit "E" to be presented
clearer and the parcel be identified.
J. Dement moved to direct the attorney to prepare ordinances authorizing executiofi of the

located on the west side of Rt. 59 approximately 1/4 mile north of 135th Street to accommodate
the development of a professional office building. The building would also house a day care
facility. Issues: Comprehensive Plan suggests residential development, and the property is
contiguous to single family residential on three sides; Access to Rt. 59, no access through the
adjoining subdivision; applicant has worked with adjacent property owners to design effective
landscape screening; adjacent property owners have expressed concerns regarding stormwater
management; a restricted B-1 zoning is proposed to minimize impacts on adjacent properties;

AUTHORIZATION-WASTEWATER FLOW MONITORING/LOAN ASSISTANCE
ENGINEERING AGREEMENT
A. Persons described to the Board that the Village's sewage system currently incurs an excessive
amount of unwanted water flow during wet weather. To determine the locations of this unwanted
infiltration and document the work that has already been completed I have requested the Walter
Deuchler & Associates provide an engineering cost estimate to perform needed wastewater flow
monitoring and reporting. Also, as of January 1996 the IEPA has determined that the Village's
existing wastewater plant is at 72.9% capacity. If the Village continues to grow at our current
rate the existing wastewater plant will be at 100% capacity in three to five years. The design and
construction of the new proposed wastewater treatment plant will take over three years to
complete. Staff recommends that the Village submit the needed pre-application paperwork to
help insure our eligibility for a State funded Iow interest loan. In order for the Village to obtain
loan funding assistance from the State's Revolving Low Interest Loan Program the Village must
submit the pre-application forms before March 31, 1998. I have requested that Walter Deuchler
& Associates provide a cost estimate to prepare this pre-application.
There was a short discussion regarding the pre-application preparation for the low interest loan.
K. Stalzer made a note that in section 3.5 of the Agreement should show that the lump sum
amount to prepare a Pre-Application form for Loan Assistance would not exceed $2,000.
K. Stalzer moved to authorize the President to exercise an agreement with Duechler & Associates
for a cost not to exceed $14,620 and to amend Section 3.5 of the Agreement "not to exceed
$2,000". Seconded by R. Smolich. Vote by roll call. O'Connell, yes; Rathbun, yes; Smolich, yes;
