President Mueller convened the Public Hearing at 7:36 and turned it over to Village |
Attorney Thomas Bayer who explained that the subject of the Hearing is the petition for |
the annexation of 801 E. Butterfield Road. He said that the hearing had been continued |

as to whether that parcel would also be annexed. He said that it has been determined |
that it will not be annexed. He said that the Hearing was for the purpose of hearing |
public comment for or against the petition. He asked that any who wish to speak step to |

Members of the Public Who Spoke
Paula Dillon, 8 Woodland Ct. Apte A 1 requested information regarding the status of the |
empty Zitt's feed store. David Hulseberg indicated that the property is the subject of |
litigation. |
John Dooley, 314 W. Central thanked the Board for letting him speak and asked the |
Board to discuss what is to be done about security and police protection in his area. He |
has talked to several officers with no response that he considers professional or serious |
regarding speeding motorists and theft in the area of Elizabeth and Central. President |
Mueller asked for his phone number to have the police contact him. |
Lisa Kenny, 151 S. Martha requested reimbursement for her sidewalk which was |
replaced last July at her expense, in part, with the 50/ 50 program. Ms. Kenny said that |
the sidewalk had been severely damaged and after she paid for her sidewalks the Board |
voted for the Village to pay for sidewalks that are damaged. She thinks that there |
should be some reimbursement for people who have had to pay to replace their |
sidewalks six months prior to the decision. Trustee Sebby noted that Ms. Kenny had |
spoken at the Public Works Committee and that the Committee rejected her |
recommendation. The Committee's concern was that if we grandfather the sidewalks |
which have been paid for previously by residents it subjects the Village to a great deal of |
expense. Sebby said that he had asked Ms. Kenny to come to the Board and express |
her feelings. President Mueller asked for a staff report at the July 20th meeting. He |
explained that once the Board gets the recommendation in the staff report, the request |
will be considered by the Board at the July 20th meeting. |
Warren Nelson, 2432 Royal Drive, spoke regarding the issue of the sidewalk extension |
on South Main Street to the proposed Highlands of Lombard development. He said that |
he has contacted the Community Development Department and they have been very |
helpful. He requested that the sidewalk not be put in, siting a neighborhood survey he |
did which indicates that the residents are in opposition to the sidewalk. The residents |
feel it is an unessesary intrusion into their neighborhood. Trustee Schaffer said that Mr. |
Nelson speaks for the residents and suggests the Board waive the sidewalk requirement |
in the Planned Development. Hulseberg said results should be in next week and if the |
neighborhood wishes the sidewalk can be taken off the proposed development. |
TrusteeTross suggested that a clause saying that at such time as a sidewalk is required |
it will be paid for by the Developer. |
In conclusion of Public Participation, President Mueller wished all Fathers a Happy |
Fathers Day this coming Sunday. |

Agenda Items for Separate Action
000293
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 15, CHAPTER 150 OF THE LOMBARD |
VILLAGE CODE IN REGARD TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF ATTACHED SINGLE- FAMILY |
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS |
Fire Chief Ed Seagraves reported on the Lombard Gateway project which prompted this |
text amendment regarding townhomes. He highlighted the safety considerations that |
had been mentioned and pointed out that these buildings are not made of combustibles |
except for the roof which is treated. He said that each home has four hour rated |
masonry walls which should contain any fire. He stated that these will be attractive and |
well built buildings. He recounted that BOBA wanted 4 foot gangways and the Board |
recommended 10 feet which the Fire Dept feels is unnecessary for fire protection, with |
this construction they could have been built right next to each other. He felt that this |
change is more appropriate in the planning process as well as the determination of |
building height which is addressed in the zoning code rather than in the building code. |
He talked about the second means of egress as a nice option but checking against code |
and other communities there is no requirement in the BOCA or Life Safety codes. He |
referred to the amendment attached which suggests an area of refuge instead of the |
secondary stairwell in each unit as well as the location of the second means of egress |
on the third floor not the second. An area of refuge would be some sort of balcony |
which could be used off of the third floor bedroom area. In conclusion he stated that the |
lighting issue should be addressed by the planning process. Seagraves recommended |
adoption of the amendment. It was the general consensus that this Ordinance should |
be approved with item number one stricken. |
Enactment No: Ordinance 4828 Build |
It was moved by Trustee Sebby, seconded by Trustee Kufrin Jr., that this matter |
