RT 59 Request: Rezoning from B -1 to BTD Location: 15133 S. Rt. 59 (northeast corner of Ottawa and Route 59), Formerly known as 501 N. Division Stree t Applicant: Village of Plainfield Started: 7:0 2 pm Mr. Sheetz said that the appropriate notice had been sent out to adjacent property owners for the map amendment. Ms. Sheetz read the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were an questions or disagreement with this. Commissioner Manning said that the BTD requirement would be triggered by the change in land use. He asked for an example of this. Ms. Sheetz said an example of this would be if they wanted to change this to medical offices. Comm issioner Kachel asked why the Village didn’t act sooner. Ms. Sheetz said that it is her understanding that they could not contact the owner, and they were able to move 1
forward with the map amendment. Commissioner Kachel noted that this is a hardship on t he owner. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in the group of petitioners. Carl Buck, the attorney for the owner, said that the object of rezoning is that it cannot yield a reasonable use. He gave a history of the case and said that the property was proposed for l aw offices in 1986. They sought rezoning, but at the time the Village did not have BTD zoning. So, they came to an agreement with the Village. This went on until the owner received a letter from the Village in 1995. He said that a covenant is only a re striction if the owner agrees to it. Mr. Buck explained the property was sold a couple of times, and the Will County Recorder of Deeds has a record of a letter in which it shows the last two transactions have no mention of the covenants. So, the zoning w as what was followed and it cannot restrict use. Chairman Sobkoviak said that they are not lawyers, and they do not know that the original owner had the right to release the covenants. They will probably need to get the Village attorney involved. Commis sioner Manning asked if it was the position of the petitioner that they covenants do not apply. They said it was. Commisioner Manning asked what the staff thought. Ms. Sheetz said that they have consulted with the Department Director and attorney who sa id that the covenants were attached to the zoning. The Village Attorney has advised that she just state the facts and move the case forward. Commissioner Henry asked if the petitioner had a proof of receipt of the letter. They did not. Commissioner Kac hel asked why the Village didn’t bring this up previously. Ms. Sheetz said that she does not know, she was just instructed by the Director to move forward. Bob Podhorf, the current owner, addressed the commission. He said that when he first bought the p roperty that the zoning was one of the reasons he bought it. He does not see why it is downzoned. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in John Bates who entered a memo into record. He read the memo regarding rezoning. He said that Plainfield never took official ac tion despite neighbors requesting a rezoning to BTD. He said that he has been there since 1986, and the rezoning from residential to commercial requires appropriate buffering and screening . He also said that the 3,800 -foot parking lot was put in at a 3 d egree slope which causes problem with the rain and snow. There are no parking stripes, and despite the new storm drain, water still flows onto his property. 2
Mr. Bates continued by saying that in 1998, the BTD ordinance passed, and the other properties in the area have gone to BTD. In 2004, they petitioned for this property to go to BTD, and this is the first action taken. So, he asked the staff and developer what was going on, and told the developer that they have a prime piece of property. He asked th at Plan Commission advise the Staff and Developer to go back and look at this. Chairman Sobkoviak said that Mr. Bates brings up good points and that he can validate the events that transpired. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was any further public comm ent. There was no response. Commissioner Henry asked to see the map of the area. Commissioner Kachel noted that this has gone on for a long time. Chairman Sobkoviak said that there are several issues that remain. Commissioner Kachel said that this was handled by different own ers and asked if it was now this owner’s responsibility. Ms. Sheetz noted that Public Works is proposing an item in their budget to investigate these problems. Chairman Sobkoviak said that they put in a new storm drain, but it di d not help. Mr. Bates said that this directly drains into his backyard and suggested that Public Works give the money to the developer to fix his site. Mr. Podhorf said that the snow on his property has never gone onto a neighboring site; he also said th at most of the water is coming from the street, and only some of it comes from his parking lot. Commissioner Manning said that in discussions, was it their position that Mr. Wald o ck did not have the right to do what he did. Ms. Sheetz said that Mr. Testi n believes he did not have the authority. Commissioner Manning noted that the Village’s silence to the letter may have been construed as an okay. Commissioner Kachel pointed out that this is a downzoning and that they have B -1 zoning. Commissioner Henry asked who recorded the events of March of 1995. Ms. Sheetz said that it does not say, but a sale followed. Mr. Buck said that despite the covenants, the criteria to meet for rezoning has not been met. Chairman Sobkoviak recommended postponing the case until the Village Attorney can be present with a legal opinion. The Village wants to accomplish something, but they cannot counter the law. Commissioner Kachel said that other issues need to be resolved. Commissioner Schinderle said that they need to re solve the current issue first. 3
Commissioner Racich felt that they should resolve the issue immediately. Commissioner Henry agreed and said that they spent too much time on a similarly controversial case last week. Commissioner Kachel agreed but felt t hat the issues should be brought to the Village Board. Commissioner Manning said that there is sympathy for both sides. Chairman Sobkoviak said that he wanted to defer the case for a legal opinion to decide if this is a legal operation. Commissioner Rac ich said that a legal opinion would be present at the Village Board meeting. Commissioner Kachel also said that this was similar to last week’s case. A brief discussion ensued regarding the previous case. Commissioner Manning thought that Ms. Sheetz con veyed the Village Attorney’s opinion that Mr. Waldo ck did not have the authority to do what he did. He did know what difference having the attorney present would make. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the attorney can give a first -hand opinion. Commissioner Schinderle did not see an alternative. Mr. Bu ck said that whether Mr. Waldock had the authority or not, he did it. Mr. Buck felt that the Village should be bound by this as a number of people have relied on what was recorded. Ms. Sheetz noted that anyo ne can record anything; she also said that a subsequent letter was sent in 2000 to revoke this. Commissioner Kachel said that the Village owed a responsibility to handle this sooner. Commiss ioner Gehrke asked if Mr. Podh or f has a clear title, what the co nnection was. Mr. Buck said that it is not in the title – it is a defect. A discussion ensued regarding this. Mr. Buck said that they are basing tonight’s decision on the information they have. Commissioner Gehrke asked if it would hurt to get an att orney. Ms. Sheetz said that it has been time, and there are concerns that they need to take into consideration. Commissioner Racich still felt that this should be brought to a vote as the Village Council will be present at the Board meeting . At 7:53 pm, Commissioner Henry moved to recommend a denial of the map amendment from B -1 to BTD for the property commonly known as 15133 S. Route 59 . Commissioner Kachel seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Henry, Kachel, Ge hrke, Manning, Schinderle, Racich , Sobkoviak Nay: None The motion is carried 7 :0:0 . 4
Ms. Sheetz asked for the findings of fact that they are denying. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the Plan Commission agrees with the petitioner that the covenants were revok ed and they are attempting to rezone. He said the findings of fact are arguable. Commissioner Henry said that B1 is consistent with what is currently there, but changing from B1 to BTD is hardship. Chairman Sobkoviak said that: 1. There was no argument on the first finding of fact. 2. the trend of development is consistent with the requested amendment, but so is the existing. 3. downzoning the property would restrict its uses 4. The fourth finding of fact is arguable. 5. As long as the property remains as it is, it wil l have no impact on the essential character of the neighborhood. Chairman Sobkoviak did not know what to do about the storm water and buffering if the property remains B1. Commissioner Kachel thought that the Village should look to help Mr. Bates get som ething done. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the Village will need to readdress this. New Business CASE NO.: 1140 -091504.AA/SU/PP WHITE ASH FARM UNIT #3 Request: Annexation; (Public Hearing Preliminary Plat Location: Between White Ash Farms, Unit 1 and Canterbury Woods and Between Normantown Road and Heritage Oaks Subdivision Applicant: Fry Properties Inc. Started: 7:59 pm Ms. Sheetz read the staff report. Commissioner Manning asked about the connection path, and a discussion ensued regarding this. C ommissioner Racich asked the Park District if they are starting to accept money for land more often. The Park District said that they did this in this case because the equestrian center is in the area and so are the other Park District sites. Chairman So bkoviak asked if there were any engineering concerns. The Village Engineer said that there are none other than the connection to the south being important. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the bullet points are considered outstanding. 5
Chairman Sobkoviak swo re in Patty Bernhard to represent Fry Properties. Ms. Bernhard said that Ms. Sheetz went through this well, but she wanted to review a few things. She showed the subdivision plan with Unit 1, the Normantown Trails, the Equestrian Center, and Unit 3. She also showed the original plat and the current plat for Units 1 through 3. The stub street was the main change. She then showed the Preliminary Plat and Landscape Plan as well as possible future land purchases. She showed how the site connects to the ar ea and said that all lots will be consistent with R1 requirements. Ms. Bernhard said that there is no problem with the lot lines, labeling key lots, and landscaping requirements on key lots. The one issue they have is with the landscaping requirements on the west lots. With the trails that go through there, the trails will go up the building and they will have a problem getting significant landscaping in there. Commissioner Kachel asked if they could plant on the back of the lots. Ms. Bernhard said tha t they could but 30 feet would take up the entire backyard. Commissioner Henry asked what was available. Ms. Bernhard said that there is no room for an easement, but they can put landscaping in. She felt that the residents would be burdened with paths . She said that the problem with the paths completely surrounding the subdivision is that the property owners can go down the sidewalks to get to other paths without having the paths cut through. Chairman Sobkoviak asked who was requesting the current path system. Ms. Sheetz said that the Village has this on their path system and showed the system on the map. Commissioner Henry noted that if they do not make the path connection that the stub would not make sense. Commissioner Racich said that the planner at the committee of the whole recommended this. Commissioner Kachel agreed that they should get this in there now. Commissioner Henry asked how this would work without Unit 3. Ms. Sheetz said that the original talk was of this going through the middle of the subdivision. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any engineering concerns. The Village Engineer said no, but that no engineering plans had been provided yet. However, no serious issues are anticipated. Commissioner Henry asked about the vacat ion of Normantown Road to the south. Ms. Shetz said that they have the option to do this. The consensus from Staff is that this is problematic and that they have plenty of connections. Commissioner Henry asked for clarification of the flow. Commissione r Manning asked if the trail easement is on Parcel 7. Ms. Sheetz said that nothing is set. The 30 -foot landscape easement is only is only an argument. 6
Chairman Sobkoviak said that there will be a row of solid evergreen trees to screen the trail and stor age units. They felt that this should be left up to the developer. He also felt that they should stuff second -guessing the Park District. Commissioner Henry asked for the distance on this. They said it was 29.5 feet. Commissioner Kachel asked if this was adequate to Staff. Ms. Bernhard said that there will be a fence between the bike and horse path. The Park District said that behind the equestrian center will be a 6 -foot fence. The split rail fence will separate the fencing. A discussion ensued re garding this. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was any public comment. There was no response. At 8:35pm , Commissioner Kachel moved to recommend annexation of the subject parcel. Commissioner Henry seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Henry, Kachel, Gehrke, Manning, Schinderle , Racich , Sobkoviak Nay: None The motion is carried 7 :0 :0 . At 8:36pm , Commissioner Kachel moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plat for White Ash Farms, Unit 3 subject to the fol lowing four (4) stipulations : 1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer. 2. Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection District. 3. Address outstanding items as listed in the staff report. 4. Modifications to the final plat ma y be required if the pipeline easement remains. Commissioner Henry seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Henry, Kachel, Gehrke, Manning, Schinderle, Racich, Sobkoviak Nay: None The motion is carried 7 :0:0. CASE NO .: 1143 -092204.SPR CARE CENTERS - LAKEWOOD NURSING REHABILITATION Request: Site Plan Review Location: 1112 N. Eastern Ave. Applicant: Jeff Rudolph, Care Centers, Inc. Started: 8:37 pm 7
John Kersh read the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there wer e any engineering issues. The Village Engineer said that the only concern was the delay with emergency vehicles. However, they have software to recognize a specific vehicle and allow access. Chairman Sobkoviak said that this would be included in stipula tion 1. Commissioner Henry asked when drainage becomes an issue. The Village Engineer said that they do not anticipate additional pavement to add to the problems. Commissioner Kachel asked which were the new sidewalks. Mr. Kersh showed where the exis ting sidewalks are. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Scott Parker, the architect. Mr. Parker said that Mr. Kersh did a good job. He showed a representation of the existing building and proposed addition to show what they are doing. The engineer has been in contact with the Village and is working to resolve issues. Commissioner Henry asked if there was any concern with the trash enclosure. Mr. Parker said no as this moves around and the owner understands this. Commissioner Schinderle asked how many additio nal beds will be added. Mr. Parker said 91 to 92, so there will be 124 beds. Commissioner Schinderle asked if they are private. Mr. Parker said that there will be a variety; renovations are involved, and there are some doubles but mostly single beds. T his may change. Commissioner Kachel asked about landscaping along 126. He said that there is nothing on the sidewalk or easement. He was not looking for screening, but he wanted to work on coming up with plantings. Mr. Kersh said that they can talk a bout it. Commissioner Kachel understood that they have been around a while but would like to see more. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any other questions. There were none. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. There was no response. At 8:55pm , Commissioner Henry moved to recommend approval of the site plan for Lakewood Nursing Center with the following stipulations: 1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer. 2. Compliance with any additional provisions of the P lainfield Fire Protection District. 3. Provide satisfactory trash enclosure to be approved by staff. Commissioner Racich seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. 8
Aye: Kachel, Henry, Gehrke, Manning, Schinderle, Racich, Sobkov iak Nay: None The motion is carried 7:0:0. This will go forward on March 7, but the petitioner was advised to be in touch with staff. Chairman Sobkoviak added that he recommended that they allow for some flexibility based on what the original building wa s before the site plan review. They can address this later. At 8:57pm, Chairman Sobkoviak called for a 10 -minute recess. The meeting readjourned at 9:11pm. CASE NO.: 1160 -012105.SPR PLAINFIELD 15 TH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Request: Site Plan Review Location: Northwest of Renwick Road and Howard Avenue Applicant: Plainfield School District Started: 9:11 pm Jonathan Proulx read the staff report. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any engineering concerns. The Village Engineer said that there are no enginee ring calculations but would be done before the Village Board. Some utilities are available on site. Chairman Sobkoviak asked what the reason was for the dry retention. The Village Engineer said that this is probably due to liability issues. Chief Benne tt addressed the commission. He said that the Village Traffic Engineer can start, but he was there to reinforce that this case was reviewed by the traffic committee. They are concerned with the primary access being on Renwick Road as well as connectivity . The Village Traffic Engineer gave some background . He said that the Getson connection was considered due to the current school layout and traffic flow. He said that traffic predictions include increased traffic on Renwick Road with the southwest area building up and the Renwick Road Bridge reconstruction. He said that routing the school traffic provides safety concerns. They anticipate a signal at Howard but no other signal is proposed. The Village Traffic Engineer continued by saying that Getson relieves this school’s traffic and St. Mary’s traffic. They are looking for a release valve. They have looked at concerns like the existing bus traffic. The school has designed a layout that would not allow bus traffic on Getson but rather would add it on Howard or on the limited Renwick Road access. This mostly resolves vehicular traffic, but there may be some possible bus re -routing with St. Mary’s. A discussion ensued regarding the buses. 9
Chairman Sobkoviak asked if some kids at St. Mary’s use the same bus as the public school. The Village Engineer said that the school could better answer this. There will be a significant increase on Getson. He briefly went over the increase in vehicles per day. Commissioner Manning asked if they have plans for updating Fredrick and Robert. The Village Traffic Engineer said that there is not any currently. Getson has been the priority and would be within the existing right -of -way. They would be looking at the entire area. There has been some discussion regard ing minor intersection improvements. This is not budgeted, but they may prioritize it. Commissioner Schinderle asked when the school would be operational. The Village Engineer said that it would be in August of 2006. Commissioner Kachel said that there are two schools and asked if there were sidewalks through the subdivision. The Village Traffic Engineer said that there are not any on Fredricks currently, but there would be on the south side of Getson. There has been an item placed for sidewalks in th e budget. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Scott Anderle from Healy, Bender and Associates. He said that Mr. Proulx did a good job representing the plan and appreciated the comments. He said that the dry detention is for liability, and they also want to use it for a soccer file. He said that there are 13 buses slated for the servicing area, and they have provided enough stacking for 100 vehicles. He said that the early childhood center could take advantage of this. Commissioner Schinderle asked the Village Traffic Engineer if anyone has decided who will pay for the Fredricks improvements. The Village Traffic Engineer said that there is one lane in each direction, and that they have had that question come up. A discussion ensued regarding this. Commission er Schinderle was worried about how cards would fit on the street with buses. The Village Traffic Engineer said that a lot of traffic will come off of Route 30. The predictions are based on the shortest possible route. There is a demand to the north and south, so they will take the extended Getson at Route 30. Commissioner Schinderle asked about a light. The Village Engineer said that they anticipate signalizing this. Commissioner Schinderle said that two lots over from Getson is a property that cou ld be used for a street. The Village Traffic Engineer said that it has not been looked at as it would create another road. Commissioner Schinderle said that this wouldn’t affect the homeowners and would get away from immediate access. Chairman Sobkoviak said that there is a foundation of home being used there. Commissioner Kachel said that they would be looking to buy the property anyway. 10
Commissioner Schinderle asked if the exit at Getson and St. Mary’s are exact opposite each other. Mr. Anderle said that it is harder to get access and showed where room is tight. Commissioner Henry read the history and congratulated them on the work done. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if the School District or the Architect had any problems with the landscaping require ments. They did not. Commissioner Kachel asked if they could include this. They said they would as part of the site plan. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the sign buffering on the rear wall may conflict with Saturday activities. Mr. Anderle made some sug gestions for this. Chairman Sobkoviak opened up the floor for public comment. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Diane Cooper, the Assistant Superintendent. She thanked them for the opportunity to present this and said that the school meets the requirements an d is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Sobkoviak asked for any further public comment. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in James Stasell who live on Getson at the end of the street. He said that his complaint is with the traffic Fredricks. Right now, Getson comes to a T -intersection at St. Mary’s, and they have problem with buses on Fredricks. He expects this to become a major issue when the schools are let out at the same times. He explained where the problems most occur. The schools have 3 a ccesses, and he did not think that St. Mary’s should have to absorb their school’s traffic with three outlets. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the Plan Commission recognizes the problem and wants to find a solution. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Bob Russell w ho lives on Getson. He believes that the Plan Commission got a letter from the Murphys. He said that this will have a major impact on Fredricks . He was not worried about Getson as much as the Fredricks problem. He said that the traffic is already backe d up with St. Mary’s activities, and if this coincides with the new school, this will create major problems. He did not think they needed to do this. He also said that they can make a right -hand turn lane. He asked about buffering the church because whe n the bowling alley went in, they were required to buffer it. He finally asked about the mechanicals and said that his concern was with the noise across from the church, and now he’s worried about the noise from the school. 11
Mr. Anderle said that the mech anical unit is smaller but is at the back of the school and would be buffered by the school. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if he could estimate the distance to the property line. He said it was a couple of hundred feet. Mr. Russell confirmed that the mechani cals would be to the east of the building. He said that they still need to buffer two homes. Chairman Sobkoviak asked what type of buffering he is looking for. Mr. Anderle said that there will be a 4 -foot high berm with 8 to 10 foot trees, and Staff is recommending plantings between. Chairman Sobkoviak said that school buffering is much more subdued. Mr. Russell said that bus traffic is a major concern. Chairman Sobkoviak said that they are discussing possible solutions. Mr. Russell said that their i mmediate concern is with the traffic problem. Chief Bennett reiterated that the Village has taken the time to look at and address the problem. There will be a light at St. Mary’s, and they are aware of the problem. They are concerned, and the Staff is w orking on a long -term solution. However, if they do not approve a case every time someone is opposed to it, nothing would go through. Commissioner Henry asked if when a light is installed on Route 59, if they could tell if the St. Mary’s traffic patterns would need to change. Chief Bennett said that St. Mary’s is aware of this, and the Route 59 improvements will make some of the current problems go away. The Village knows that they have to improve this. Commissioner Henry asked if it would make sense t o keep from opening Getson until the Route 59 improvements are complete. Chief Bennett said that for emergency response, they should have access from all areas. Commissioner Schinderle asked Chief Bennett about the light at Route 59 opposite St. Mary’s. He wanted to know the status of the development that would facilitate this. Ms. Sheetz said that the Final Plat has been approved, and they believe construction will start in Spring. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Keith Cunningham. He said that his primar y concern is bus traffic by St. Mary’s. He asked if they can bring these vehicles in safely off Route 59. He said that if the new school can cue 13 buses and asked if they can institute a similar plan with St. Mary’s. Chief Bennett said that they are co nstantly working with a lot of schools on this. He pointed out that St. Mary’s was rebuilt after the tornado and a lot of neighborhoods are impacted by this. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was any further public comment. Mr. Russell thought that impr oving Fredricks before the school is complete would be appreciated. He said that when this gets pushed through, Fredricks neds to be resolved. 12
Chairman Sobkoviak did not think that they can shut down the operation until they can create a system of droppi ng off and picking up is implemented as it is always examined. Commissioner Kachel asked if the schools will start at the same times. Chairman Sobkoviak added that the kids will ride the same buses. Mr. Anderle said that he can look into that. They wi ll be using the same bus service, but he does not think that they are using the same buses. Commissioner Kachel said that if they can stagger the hours, they may be able to work it out. Chairman Sobkoviak said that Chief Bennett can work out the necessar y coordination. Commissioner Schinderle still urged the School District to look at the other entranceway and said that they can add sidewalks. Commissioner Henry said that it was amazing how many Site Plan Reviews come forward when they have to deal with things off -site. He said it was frustrating that other things are affected like this. Commissioner Racich said that historically, they have put the cart before the horse and have practiced “reactive” planning due to absolute, unlimited growth. He said that future planners, developers, and the Board should look at growth to prevent problems. Regarding the landscaping, he no ted that the PTA or PTO develop the landscaping plan. He asked if this can be resolved in the future so a small group does not have to hold this burden. Ms. Cooper said that she understands this is a PTO burden. She said that she chairs a group that dos this, and they do it because every dollar put into a school building is a tax dollar. She added that money put into landscaping wo uld otherwise be put into something else. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any further comments. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there was agreement with the three stipulations. A discussion ensued regarding the landscaping plan. Commissioner Henry a sked if the Engineers would look at Fredricks. The Village Traffic Engineer said yes that they have looked at this and are looking at intersection improvement and road improvements. He said that the Getson extension was born to try and help relieve this. Commissioner Kachel confirmed that the parking lot of St. Mary’s increased. Chairman Sobkoviak said that the problem is getting out on Route 59 and needing separate streets for cars and buses. The Village Traffic Engineer said that the existing volumes on Fredricks did not require a relocation of buses. However, they do recognize the conflicts and the narrow street. 13
Commissioner Kachel asked what they can do in the interim. The Village Traffic Engineer said that St. Mary’s has been a willing partner in all talks. Commissioner Manning said that the mindset is that the flow will go on Fredricks, and he wanted to stress that some relief would be available on Getson. At 10:25pm, Commissioner Manning moved to recommend approval of the Site Plan Review of the “1 5 th Elementary School” northwest of Renwick Road and Howard Avenue, subject to the following three (3) stipulations : 1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer. 2. Compliance with the requirements of the Plainfield Fire Protection Distric t. 3. Revision of the site plan to include the addition of approximately 21 shrubs along the westerly property line to the satisfaction of the Village Planner. Commissioner Gehrke seconded the motion. Chairman Sobkoviak called for a vote by roll call. Aye: Kachel, Gehrke, Manning, Racich, Sobkoviak Nay: Henry, Schinderle The motion is carried 5 :2 :0. This case will go forward to the Village Board o March 7. A letter from the Murphys regarding the Getson extension was entered into record. Chairman Sobkovia k asked if there was any further business. Upon hearing none, he declare d the meeting adjourned at 10:26 pm . __________________ Respectfully submitted, Laura Griffith -Recording Secretary Karick & Associates, Inc. 14
