the major population present was teenagers. He said that there were no incidents that he was aware
of. On Saturday, there was a ceremony honoring the DARE dog, Foster, and the Park District also
th
celebrated its 40 anniversary. He said that the fireworks were spectacular and well received.

Mr. Harris addressed the Board and thanked the Mayor and the Trustees. He said that PEP was a
partnership to serve the Village and business community for a greater goal. He had been pleased to
see the support on the private side. He planned to talk to people in the business community about

the tax base.
TRUSTEE COMMENTS
Trustee Manning said that the Lockport Streetscape Committee had been meeting twice a month
since January to try and attract customers and make the downtown more pedestrian friendly. The
committee will be submitting a draft proposal on August 2, and this would be presented to the Board
on December 6.
Trustee Collins said that the Board (6 months ago) by a majority vote donated to Arbor Creek for a
fence along the creek to be built by owners. He said that the Board had not received an update on
this yet, and Mr. Testin said that he would get a report to the Board.

Trustee Collins asked about the ?performance? as it was stated in a letter from the Mayor. Mayor
Waldorf clarified that this was from the Attorney and the Trustees and a previous meeting. Trustee
Collins asked if there was any response from the attorney, and Mayor Waldorf confirmed that no
response was received.
Trustee Collins said that, over the weekend, a couple of people contacted him about the beer garden
behind Lockport Street. Mayor Waldorf said that the conflict was whether it was appropriate to serve
liquor on the streets in the past, and after rethinking this, it was determined to be inappropriate. This
was verified by the police chief, and Mayor Waldorf felt that this was much more family-centered.
Trustee Collins noted that this was supposed to be in the alley. Mayor Waldorf said that being in the
alley presented safety issues as well as making it harder to control. He said that as the Liquor
Commissioner, he recently approved a program to allow owners and bartenders to make better
decisions when serving alcoholic liquor. The first training class was held at the Village Hall on June
29 and there were 11 owners and 52 servers present for the class.
Trustee Collins felt that the Board should sit down and talk about Plainfield Fest, and Mayor Waldorf
said that he wanted to contact citizens and conduct a survey about their feelings on this. A discussion
ensued regarding heat detracting from the attendance.
Trustee Racich stated that he spoke with Michelle Kelly, and said that he hoped that the Plainfield
Park District would be involved in the discussions. He noted that one of the positives was the
fireworks, and the Park District?s enthusiasm was outstanding. He said that the one of the negatives
was traffic congestion, and the Village could not be closed any more. He said that the Fest belonged
away from the center of Plainfield as it took 30 minutes to go from Van Dyke to James Street one
day. Regarding businesses, owners told him that business was a wash. Some citizens complained
about the noise and whether or not the carnival should be located downtown. Trustee Racich wanted
local businesses to give feedback in the survey that the Mayor stated he was going to perform. He
also made some comments about the liquor situation. He wanted to know the cost to the Village for
enforcement, etc. and he wanted this to be planned better next year.
Regarding the letter about the ?performance?, Trustee Dement felt that this was ignorant and in poor
taste as the Trustees were asking questions and expressing opinion. He said that the Board did not
have cooperation and communication from the Mayor, and Mayor Waldorf agreed.
Trustee Lamb had a couple of questions as he noticed that $26,000 was paid for Illinois Environment
fees, and he did not remember hearing anything about that. Mr. Kissel said that the fees were
remitted to the EPA for discharging to the river. Trustee Lamb suggested creating a better category
other than dues for these types of expenditures. He also noted that $44,000 was paid to the State
Treasurer for road improvements. Mr. Gallt said that there were two items per an agreement in
association with state improvements at Route 30 and Lily Cache Road (for a water and lift station).
This was based on a joint agreement in June 2005.
Regarding the joint meeting with the school district, Trustee Lamb said that there were several action
items that came out of it. He went over these and said that the School District needed this to be

moved along quicker to open schools for Fall. He asked if there had been any progress in the
commitments, like meetings or process changes. Mr. Testin said that this was one of the things being
looked at and elaborated on some of the issues (like water) that were being reviewed.
Trustee Racich did not want to be overly critical of the School District but felt that lack of planning
on others part was creating an emergency on the Board?s part. He said that the Village had standards
that needed to be upheld and should not be rushed through.
PUBLIC COMMENTS on Items not on the Agenda
None.

Drauden Road from Indian Boundary Road to Illinois Route 126. Seconded by Trustee Dement.
Trustee Collins asked when this was expected to be re-opened, and Mr. Testin said that there were
some updates. Mr. Gallt said that the grading was being finalized, the lights would be installed the
rest of this week, and a ribbon cutting ceremony would be Friday at 2pm. He said that landscaping
improvements would continue, and Trustee Racich confirmed that Renwick and Drauden would be
the location of the ribbon cutting.

#4 AVENUE OF PLAINFIELD
Mr. Testin said that this would be exciting for the Village. It was a difficult property; however, he
felt that it could be a jewel. The applicant wanted input from the Board.
Mary Riordan addressed the Board and said that, because of the size of the project, she wanted to
introduce the project and where it would be going. She introduced the team and said that the
development team was working on another project in Oak Brook. Because of the flood plain, wet
land, and environmental issues, she said that 180 acres would be purchased but only 100 acres would
be used. The developer would be purchasing the Clark shop as part of this, and the property would
be bisected by Lily Cache Creek. She said that there would be 700,000 square feet of retail ? which
would be a lot of smaller specialty shops. The developer had been working with Staff and wanted to
start construction in the beginning of 2007. Some outlots were desired at the end of 2007. She
estimated $1.4 million in property tax and $2.5 million in sales tax.
Trustee Fay welcomed more business and asked about traffic flow. Mr. Riordan said that KLOA was
hired, and a specific request was made to connect this to Renwick. She said that there would be a
signalized entrance to Route 30 (lined up with Spangler), and the others would be right-in/right-out.
Trustee Fay asked if the road to the northeast across the creek was amendable in terms of movement,
or if it could terminate or originate differently. Mr. Testin said that it needed to be pushed away from
the tracks, but the Village was looking at access onto Renwick.
Trustee Fay asked about retention of attraction of businesses in the historic downtown. Mr. Testin
said that this project was going to be a regional draw for larger users, but the Village could take a
look at the types of impact on downtown businesses.
Trustee Dement asked if the developer had talked to Joliet, and Ms. Riordan said she had and will
have another meeting with Joliet after meeting gathering comments from Plainfield. Trustee Dement
also asked about damage done to the property. Ms. Riordan said that there was no more work that
needed to be done per the EPA, but the developer was not sure what would be found after the ground
was opened. Trustee Dement was concerned about the second phase, and Ms. Riordan said that
north of the creek would probably be some kind of mixed use residential. She said that it would
probably be townhomes and condos and would take advantage of the forest preserve. She noted that
the developer would come in with a design book for approval prior to this.
Trustee Dement was concerned about revenue sharing that the Village would not end up liable if this
development did not perform well. He asked if the developer was committed to 550,000 square feet
of commercial, and Ms. Riordan clarified that 700,000 square feet would be commercial. However,
the developer estimated a minimum of 550,000 square feet that might generate sales tax. Trustee
Dement asked if the developer would be developing and owning this project. Ms. Riordan said that
the plan was for the developer to lease the property, but if there was an opportunity to sell it, the
developer would consider it.

Trustee Lamb liked this as a start to redeveloping the Route 30 corridor; however, starting in 2007
might be ambitious. Ms. Riordan said that she hoped to work with the Staff and engineers closely.
Trustee Lamb asked where the 80 acres were that the developer could not use, and Ms. Riordan
showed the detention ponds and lift station. Trustee Lamb asked if northwest of that was buildable,
and Ms. Riordan said that the developer was trying to move and consolidate the wetlands. Mayor
Waldorf confirmed that she had met with Alex Harris of PEP.
Trustee Collins confirmed that this would come out between Lily Cache and the tracks. He said that
he would be very excited about this since this is the third developer that was interested, but nothing
had moved forward. He also noted that the last developer only had 85 buildable acres. Ms. Riordan
said that the developer?s engineers believed 100 acres could be used and would be working with
Baxter and Woodman soon.
Trustee Manning hoped it could be successful, and Ms. Riordan said she had heard the history.
Trustee Manning confirmed that the developer would need to de-annex the truck stop from Joliet. He
also asked the significance of opening in 2007. Ms. Riordan said that if the developer was competing
with other projects, they wanted to be able to deliver the store before others could.
Trustee Racich liked this because of the revenue and asked about asking the Village for expenses.
There was some discussion and clarification regarding $15 million being requested. Ms. Riordan
said that the developer would provide everything on an open book basis.
Trustee Collins said that there used to be a farm that was turned into the Louis-Joliet mall. At that
time, the Board did not see fit to extending utilities, and he wanted to see how the Village could
benefit from a project of this size. Ms. Riordan said that this should be an economic gateway when
coming off of the expressway. Trustee Fay asked Staff to proceed with the research and investigation
of the environmental impact carefully, as projects to the north and west would be impacted.
Trustee Dement confirmed that homeowners had not been contacted yet, but there were five or six
property owners assembled.
#5 AVERY/KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS (PC CASE #1240-032406.AA.RZ)

the property located on the north side of Renwick Road, west of the EJ&E Railroad, and east of Lily
Cache Creek, and to direct the Village Attorney to draft the necessary ordinance. Seconded by
Trustee Dement.
Trustee Fay asked for clarification on the default Village zoning of R1. Mr. Harvey said that if there
was no zoning, and a property was brought into the Village, it defaulted to R1. Trustee Lamb asked
if the Village was rezoning the entire 21 acres or just the 5. Mr. Testin said that right now, it was
identified as the full property, and Trustee Lamb confirmed that the Board was stipulating with
limited use.

th
Mr. Gallt went over Items 5 and 6 ? the 127 Street and Van Dyke Road Agreement for Federal
Participation and Resolution of Improvements. Trustee Collins asked what this encompassed, and
Mr. Gallt gave a brief presentation. He said that this was being expedited as $1 million was given in
federal funds, and there was an advancement of the Edwards facility. The Edwards group had been
working with the Village, and Mr. Gallt went over what improvements were proposed and the cost
($1mm from Federal STP funding, $1.3mm from Edward, and Vlg $2.1mm). There is potential for
recapture with adjacent properties at a later date. He also went over the timeline and said that the
state needs to oversee federal funding.
Trustee Fay said that this was a high price for a short road stretch, and Mr. Gallt went over what was
included. Trustee Fay asked what other contributions could be made, and Mr. Testin reviewed that
this was not a transportation fund but could be used for such. Trustee Dement asked what recapture
amounts could be received. Mr. Gallt said that, generally, it would be the southern section, and Van
Dyke Road could be a large portion of it. Trustee Lamb applauded shortening the time table,
especially with trying to get Edwards here.
Trustee Collins asked if north-bound Van Dyke was slated for improvement, and Mr. Gallt said that
this would be a transition with a five-lane section. A discussion ensued regarding timing and
location. Trustee Collins wanted straight road, and a discussion ensued regarding the parcel needed

AVERY/KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS (PC CASE #1240-032406.AA/RZ)
Mayor Waldorf called the meeting to order at 8:15pm. Present roll call stands.
Michael Martin (attorney for William and Shirley Avery) said that the purpose of the Annexation
Agreement was to have a property that could be donated to the Knights as a banquet and meeting hall
facility. He said that five acres on the eastern edge of the property was being discussed with the Will
County Forest Preserve District who would probably be buying and acquiring the balance of the
property. He said that the Annexation Agreement did contain the B2 zoning with limited uses.
Beyond that, anything to be built on the property would have to come forward for a Site Plan Review.
Trustee Fay asked if the property was more elevated near traffic. Mr. Testin said that elevated was
what was desired, and the lower parcel the Forest Preserve would be obtaining. Mr. Martin said that
the official boundary had to be created with the engineer, and Trustee Fay thought that this would be
within the realm of possibility.
Mayor Waldorf said that, as the mayor and member of the organization, he supported the project.
Trustee Dement said that with the sewer being provided by septic or mechanical system and well, he
felt that this should have the utilities. Mr. Martin said that the owner would be required to tap into it
if the water/sewer extended out to them. A discussion ensued regarding the sewer/water connection.
Mr. Martin noted that the Will County Health Department did not have any problems with this.
Trustee Dement asked about fire protection as well as the waste and septic if a banquet held 200 to
500 people. Mr. Martin said that there were previous discussions regarding a donation through
unincorporated Will County. The Averys wanted to bring this in to the Village but did not have the
money to extend the water and sewer. Mayor Waldorf asked when this would be used. Michael
Stoch addressed the Board and said that the property was not going to be open to the general public
every night. This would be open to the organization and possible weekend facilities. He felt that the
downfall would be when if was used too much for outside use.

Trustee Collins felt that this would be better for the community, and Trustee Fay concurred. It was
noted that a lot of areas in Plainfield did not have sewer and water, and the Fire Department could
draft water from the lake. Trustee Racich supported the project. Mr. Martin said that if the property
did not go to Knights, it could be required for the next user to develop this. Trustee Dement said that
it would be a compromise.
There were no public comments.
Trustee Fay moved to close the Public Hearing and return to the regular business meeting. Seconded
by Trustee Collins. Voice Vote. All in favor, 0 opposed. Motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30pm.
