Mr. Michael Garrigan stated that the developer of Van Dyke Place located at the northeast corner
of Lockport Street and Van Dyke Road has requested Village assistance to allow them to
proceed with the development of a 40,000 square foot commercial project. The draft agreement
identifies that the Village will reimburse the developer up to $500,000 for the costs of water,
sanitary, and storm sewer utility improvements and obligates the applicant to proceed with the
construction within three (3) months of executing the agreement. If the applicant does not
proceed with construction within this construction season, the agreement would be null and void.
The proposed reimbursement funds would be drawn from the Village's current water and
sanitary funds.
Mr. Angelo Claranomas, representing the developer, stated that they already have several
medical groups and a restaurant as end users and is continuing negotiations with another
restaurant and a bank for the site. There will be a total of $3,600,000 in sales tax when the
development is built -out.

reimbursement could be well less than $500,000. Trustee Lamb also wanted the staff to have
access to what is not viable and what the profitability is.

installment is made.
