engineering cost estimate provided by Casler, Houser & Hutchison to complete the
needed plans and specifications for this project at a quoted total cost of $9,700.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
H. Hamilton reported that the DesPlaines Street watermain improvements are under way
and should be completed within the next two weeks.
Discussion also centered around the Bryant building completion schedule and Engineer
Hamilton explained that a gentle ramp will be used on the building's east side sidewalk
and passengers getting out of parallel-parked cars on DesPlaines Street will step onto a
four-foot sidewalk. Administrator Burghard stated that Carl Bryant is very positive it
will be done in the next four weeks. Roofing is going on this week and the building front
should be washed Thursday.
The vault was part of a discussion about the building's completion schedule. Who owns
and is legally responsible for a vault constructed in the alley behind the new Village
Center building? The vault was built so an electrical transformer in the basement of the
center can be accessed if it is required in the future.
PLANNER'S REPORT
J. Durbin stated that Mr. Guinta, applicant had hoped to move forward with construction
of his office facility on Route 59. One change involves cutting the proposed 22,000
square-foot building into three smaller buildings. The three together would be the same
size as the single building. The change involves cutting three corridors that go into an
enclosed open-air inner courtyard as an added fire safety measure. The change also
allows the developer to build two of the buildings now and the last section in the future.
Mr. Durbin was not ready to discuss all the details or make a recommendation because of
the changes in the project.
Administrator Burghard strongly advised against any action until all neighbors are
notified and are aware of the changes.
The request will be brought before the Board at the December 7th meeting.
