motion carried by a voice vote |
Backyard Drainage Grant Program - Commercial. |
Anderson: brought plat map for committee members to review. Tross: right now our |
policy states - residential properties - 3 consecutive properties. Should the backyard |
drainage grant be available for commercial properties also? Anderson: first paragraph |
specifically refers to residential properties. Then, in further paragraphs it does not |
specify residential properties, but is understood from the first paragraph. Discussion |
ensued. Nachtrieb: there is a lot more pavement in the area now, and this causes more |
water to flow to our property. Kaforski: when we first came up with this policy, it was |
designed for residential usage. Further discussion ensued. Tross: gave example of 3 |
consecutive properties on Main St. - Dairy Queen, Carlson's, and Steve Wilk Insurance - |
regarding paving, etc. Kaforski: I do not think that this specific policy should apply to |
commercial properties. Arnold: I agree, this policy was developed for residential |
properties. Commercial should be a whole separate policy. Blakeslee: should have a |
separate policy. Tross: we are not going to change our current Backyard Drainage |
Grant Policy. Does the committee desire to develop a policy that would address |
commercial property drainage issues? Arnold: would like to talk with someone in |
Community Development to find out what their guidelines are in these kind of situations. |
Maybe it would be better to put in a detention area instead. Further discussion ensued. |
Arnold: seems like there is a lot more here than just storm water. Kaforski: then we |
need to develop a specific policy for commercial properties. Tross: let staff work up a |
grant program for eliminating storm water from commercial properties - give it to PWC |
and Economic and Community Development. See what they come back with. Kuehl: |
we would be setting a precedent by giving this commercial property money. Tross: it is |
not unusual for a committee to ask staff to come up with something to help this |
commercial property in order to benefit the community. Kaforski: maybe we could give |
him money under some other program, but we need a separate commercial drainage |
grant program. . |
Tross: This will not be on the August 9th Village Board agenda, will have to be on one |
of the September agendas. |
It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Arnold, that this matter be referred to the |
Economic and Community Development Committee. The motion carried by a |

It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Arnold, to have Public Works and |
Community Development, along with the Economic and Community Development |
Committee work on a commercial grant policy to remove storm water from |
existing commercial properties into storm water drains. The motion carried by a |
voice vote |
It was moved by Mahal, seconded by Blakeslee, that the existing Backyard |
Drainage Grant Program does not apply to commercial properties. The motion |
carried by a voice vote |
It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Kuehl, to recommend that formal action |
be taken by the corporate authorities to take measures to help this man, because |
it is in the best interest of the Village, to the percentage and the maximum that the |
current residential policy allows. The motion carried by a voice vote |

Project Status Report |
Change Order Report |
Engineering Monthly Report |
Tross: will not be meeting in August. Will be discussing the change order for |
Westmore/Meyers at the September meeting. Currently the Village has an ordinance |
regarding Dutch Elm disease and trees on private property. Staff came up with the |
following: the Village will pay to have the tree taken down, and will lien property. Would |
like to see a change in our ordinance regarding diseased horticultural items on private |
properties, remove the threat, and lien the affected properties. Directed staff to bring |
recommendations to the next meeting. |
Kaforski: parking lot by train station? Anderson: Village came to an agreement with the |
property owner that they pay 50% and we pay 50%. Kaforski: are we updating the |
Opticom at St. Charles and Main? Anderson: we are talking with the Fire Department |
about this. Kaforski: west side of Stewart between Madison and Morningside - |
new/existing home - street has been torn up for a year. We need to make sure it is |
restored correctly. Anderson: this will be given to Community Development. Tross: |
Foxworth and Pinebrook needs to be walked for cracked sidewalk issues. Terrible trip |
hazard by Oak Creek Apartments on Foxworth just as you come around the corner. |
Anderson: will look into this. Arnold: intersection of St. Charles and Westmore - is that |
being redone as part of the project? Anderson: I will have to check. |
It was moved by Arnold, seconded by Mahal, to adjourn at 8:09 PM. The motion |
