Public Participation
President Mueller stated that Diane Winterstein had passed away, the wife of Dr. John |
Winterstein of National College of Health Sciences. President Mueller expressed his |
condolences to Dr. Winterstein and his family. He also mentioned the passing of Hal |
Hoyer, who had been very active in the Historical Society and Commission for as long |
as President Mueller could remember. |
He asked for a moment of silence. |
John Merkle, 533 N. Lombard Avenue, stated that he felt compelled to say a few words |
about the DuPage Theater. He commented that the referendum had been objected to by |
a small minority of residents. He said that among the objections was the fact that the |
referendum is a compound question and also that some of the names on the petition |
were printed and not signed. He then proceeded to read the referendum question. He |
stated that the referendum question gives residents the necessary information needed |
to make an educated decision. He believed that even if the supporters of the theater |
could raise the six million dollars needed to open the doors, the theater would still have |
to be subsidized. He commented that there are 42,000 people in Lombard and less |
than 300 people have financially supported the theater. |
President Mueller explained to those watching that the referendum had been |
challenged. He said that the Electoral Board, which is made up of Clerk Kramer, Trustee |
Tross, and himself, had met this week. He stated that legal counsel, Tom Bayer was in |
attendance at that meeting. He commented that at that time, the format was decided |
upon and the second session was to be held on September 12, 2002. He pointed out |
that state law allows for residents to circulate a referendum and also allows objectors to |
object. |

Lilacia Cleaners, and the Treasure Chest. He stated that the owner of building came |
forth with a very attractive facade for both the front and the rear of building. As this grant |
is below the amount of ten thousand dollars, he stated that this would not go to the |

Agenda Items for Separate Action
020529
Director of Community Development David Hulseberg gave a power point demonstration |
and explained the new Park District maintenance building and their request for |
conditional use. He stated that the area is zoned CR (Conservation/Recreation) and has |
been improved with parks and ball fields, and also that Route 53 access had been |
approved by IDOT. |
Trustee Koenig asked if mature trees would be removed. |
Mr. Hulseberg stated that trees would be removed but would be replaced by the planting |
of 53 additional trees. |
Trustee Tross commented that only five mature trees were to be removed. He stated |
that the storm water detention is a critical component and suggested moving forward. |
He also pointed out that the Park District was working with District 44. He had received |
assurances that the recreation aspects of the area would be preserved. |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5194 800 S |
Trustee DeStephano asked it this would require an amendment to the zoning code. |
Mr. Hulseberg replied that it did. |
Trustee Koenig asked if this would be setting a precedent. |
Mr. Hulseberg responded by saying the aspect is very narrow, and would only apply to |
the CR (Conservation/Recreation) district. |
Trustee Tross said that this would be attractive and aesthetically pleasing. |
Trustee Soderstrom agreed that this would be a nice looking building and suggested |
approval. |
President Mueller mentioned that IDOT would be adding additional screening with the |
Route 53 improvements and that fifty trees had been donated by Commonwealth |
Edison, which would be planted and become President's Grove. |
It was moved by Trustee Tross, seconded by Trustee Soderstrom, to waive first |
reading and pass on second reading PC 02-29 with the addition of Condition #5, |
that upon the written request of the Village of Lombard, the Lombard Park District |
will dedicate a thirty (30) foot strip of land paralleling the south property line for |
public right-of-way purposes. The motion carried by the following vote: |

Sarah Fitzpatrick, speaking for Angela Pesce, the property owner at 1N744 Route 53, |
asked for clarification of exactly what is being proposed and how would the owner be |
able to stop it if she chooses to. |
President Mueller explained that owners were notified and hearings were held. He said |
that Ms. Pesce's property would be incorporated into Lombard and her property would |
need to be brought into code. |
Dave Hulseberg stated that Ms. Pesce's property is completely surrounded and is less |
than 60 acres and thus could be annexed. |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5195 Route |
Trustee DeStephano asked if the owner did not receive a notice. She was informed that |
the owner of the property lives in Florida. |
Mr. Hulseberg stated that the property owner had been in to speak with Community |
Development staff and had brought a friend, due to the fact that the property owner does |
not speak English very well, by her own admission. |
It was moved by Trustee DeStephano, seconded by Trustee Soderstrom, to waive |
first reading and pass on second reading BOT 02-19 and BOT 02-20. The motion |
carried by the following vote: |

Village Manager William Lichter stated that he was requesting input from the Board in |
order for staff to make recommendations to IDOT informing them of the Village's desired |
cross section of intersection. He informed the Board that York Township Highway |
Commissioner Schroeder has indicated he may be willing to reopen Madison if the |
Village of Lombard would reopen Charles Lane. |
President Mueller stated that IDOT is moving forward in designs and changes in designs |
for Route 53 and possibly having a public hearing in Lombard. He commented that it |
would be in the best interest of all not to take any action that evening on the intersection, |
but to move forward with what Mr. Dratnol would be discussing. |
Enactment No: Charles Lane Roadway |
Village Engineer Dave Dratnol explained the improvements. |
1. Parkview Blvd. and Surrey Drive: Staff would request a left hand turn lane. |
Trustee Tross expressed his desire for a signalized left turn lane. |
2. Intersection with Whitmore Lane: Staff would request that full access to/from Route |
53 would continue with left turn lanes provided on Route 53. |
Trustee Tross did not like the idea of a left turn lane as it may lead IDOT to believe that |
we wanted a three or a five lane highway. He also stated that the traffic pattern did not |
warrant a dedicated left turn lane. |
President Mueller commented that a protected left turn lane is considered safer. |
Trustee Sebby inquired who pays for the signalization. |
Mr. Dratnol responded by saying the Village of Lombard would pay about 20% but that |
cost would be shared with Glen Ellyn. |
Trustee Tross suggested investigating the possibility of the industrial park participating |
financially. |
3. Wilson Avenue: Mr. Dratnol stated that the Village has jurisdiction of the western one |
hundred feet, and the remainder is private driveway. Staff recommended that Wilson |
Avenue on the east side of Route 53 be treated as a driveway with a curb cut for |
entrance. The Board concurred. |
4. Intersection with Parkview Boulevard and Park District driveway: Staff recommends |
left turn lanes for that intersection. |
Trustee Tross suggested if only one intersection would be signalized, this might be the |
site for it. |
Mr. Dratnol stated that this site may not qualify. The Board concurred. |
5. Harrison Road: Staff recommended that this remain right in/right out. The Board |
concurred. |
6. Harding Road: Mr. Dratnol stated this intersection is under township jurisdiction. Staff |
recommends that the right in/right out intersection remain and that a raised island be |
constructed to emphasize the right in/right out only restriction. |
Trustee DeStephano commented that she doesn't like raised medians, as there is no |
flexibility and asked if the right in/right out can be accomplished with signage. |
Mr. Dratnol stated that violations occur without a raised median. |
Trustee Koenig agreed with Trustee DeStephano on the matter and stated she would |
rather keep the idea about a raised median flexible at this point. |
Trustee Soderstrom commented that signage would not work. |
President Mueller stated that raised medians need to be used for traffic calming. |
Trustee Tross asked that board concur with Highway Commissioner Schroeder and |
move forward. The Board concurred with the recommendation of a raised median. |
7. Intersection with Madison Street: This intersection is also under township jurisdiction |
and is currently posted as right in/right out only. An agreement has been reached |
between the Township and the Village of Lombard to re-open Madison to full access to |
Route 53 in conjunction with a reopening of Charles Lane. Staff recommends Madison |
be re-opened to full access and a dedicated left turn lane should be provided to safely |
accommodate the southbound to eastbound turning movement, with Madison Street to |
be widened to three lanes at the intersection. |
Trustee Tross said that as this would be the only collector street in the southwest |
quadrant it should be full access with signalization. |
Trustee Florey stated that this makes sense and that it is supported by School District |
44 with no hardship. |
8. Intersection with Charles Lane: Staff recommends that Charles Lane be reopened to |
full access to/from Route 53 and be widened to three lanes at the intersection with |
Route 3 to accommodate the left and right turning movements. If warranted, the Village |
should consider signalizing this intersection. |
Trustee Tross did not agree with signalization at this site due to the fact that it is one |
block long. |
President Mueller suggested keeping this area right in/right out if Madison is opened. |
Trustee Florey clarified that the agreement with York Township is to open both streets. |
Trustee Soderstrom agreed with no signalization at this area. |
President Mueller said that this would be the same description as for Harding, right |
in/right out with a pork chop. |
9. Intersection with St. Charles Road: Staff recommends a full intersection and maintain |
status quo. |
10. Intersection with Woodland Avenue: Staff recommends right in/right out with a raised |
median to emphasize the right in/right out restriction. This may require the acquisition of |
at least one property at the intersection. |
Trustee DeStephano did not agree with the raised median. |
President Mueller acknowledged the fact that Trustees DeStephano and Koening were |
not supportive of the pork chop. The Board concurred. |
Trustee Florey wanted more information and said that if the pork chop entailed the |
extensive taking of land he would not be in favor of this. |
11. Intersection with Meadow Avenue: Staff recommends that this intersection be open |
to full movements, with the installation of dedicated left turn lanes on Route 53 and a |
widening of Meadow to three lanes at the intersection, with signalization strongly |
considered if warranted and the reconstruction of the bridge over the Great Western |
Trail. |
Trustee Destephano agreed this should be an access point and favored signalization. |
12. Intersection with Glenwood Lane: Staff is recommending right in/right out only. The |
Board concurred. |
13. Intersection with Pleasant Lane: Staff is recommending that both legs of Pleasant |
Lane be right in/right out. |
Trustee Tross inquired if the Village owns the area to the East. |
Director of Public Works, Stan Rickard, stated the he believed it was accepted. |
Mr. Lichter said that would be verified |
14. Intersection with Sunset Street: Staff is recommending that left turn lanes be |
provided on Route 53 for access to Sunset Street. |
15. Intersection with North Avenue: Mr. Dratnol commented that whatever IDOT |
proposes is what will be put in. |
16. Intersection with Sidney Avenue: Staff is recommending that left turn lanes be |
provided on Route 53. |
Trustee DeStephano stated that these were good recommendations and questioned |
what happens to signage in the short term? |
President Mueller requested concurrence that these recommendations go to IDOT and |
the Board concurred. |
Cathy Badalamenti, 42 N. Columbine, stated that she is a twenty five year resident of |
Lombard and has lived on Route 53 for eleven of those years. She commented on the |
inaccessibility of access to shopping, schools, and Roosevelt Road. She said that the |
signals in Glen Ellyn seem to be working well. |
Carol Lewkowich, 6 N. Columbine, told the Board that she was representing six families, |
and commented that their time is worth something too. She asked why the no left turn |
signs are still present at Chares Lane, Madison and Harding. She said these signs are a |
huge inconvenience and a time waster. She had a list of sixteen businesses that she is |
unable to use due to the inconvenience. She mentioned that she does much of her |
shopping in Glen Ellyn because it is more accessible. |
President Mueller stated that Lombard has not paid for traffic studies, but has used staff |
for that purpose. President Mueller spoke of his meeting with Commissioner Schroeder |
and stated that IDOT made it very clear, if the signs are taken down, Lombard will have |
a five lane highway. He suggested holding off on a decision about the signs. |
Trustee Sebby said that IDOT will want a five lane highway, but residents do not want |
this, therefore it would be a more strategic move to delay a motion for two to three |
weeks. |
Trustee Florey asked if the decision should be postponed for two weeks. |
Trustee Soderstrom felt it would be longer than two weeks to get a decision. |
Trustee DeStephano asked if IDOT has traffic counts from that last six months. |
President Mueller stated that the action taken has cut down traffic on Route 53 and less |
accidents have occurred, and IDOT will see that if traffic counts are down, five lanes are |
not necessary. |
Trustee Koenig stated that she was in favor of opening the streets. |
Trustee Tross said that he was in favor of opening the streets because school was now |
in session and it takes 30 minutes longer for the buses. He suggested Illinois First |
money may not be available, and he said that North Avenue was proposed 18 years |
ago and is just now in the final design stage. |
Trustee Soderstrom agreed with Trustee Tross about right in/right out being a mistake, |
but he felt the Board should wait on their decision. |
President Mueller said that he was not in favor of the signs, but he said five lanes are |
wrong and residents do not want five lanes. |
Trustee Koenig said that she wanted to take the longer term view for now and stated |
that the signs have been a huge inconvenience. |
Trustee florey commented that miraculously IDOT was considering a three lane highway |
with the lowered traffic count and that opportunity should be taken advantage of. |
Trustee Sebby said he saw the need to take long term approach and will be an |
inconvenience, but if the traffic signs are taken down and the traffic count increases, a |
five lane highway will be even more of an inconvenience. |
President Mueller suggested again to hold off on a decision due to his talks with the |
Highway Commissioner and Kurt Brown, Secretary of IDOT. |
Trustee Tross suggested moving back to the motion and taking a vote. |
It was moved by Trustee Tross, seconded by Trustee DeStephano, to waive first |
reading and pass on second reading an ordinance rescinding the placement of |
"No Left Turn" signs and ask the York Township Highway Commissioner to |
remove signage at Madison Street. The motion failed by the following vote: |
Aye:
Trustee Joan DeStephano and Trustee Richard J. Tross

Nay:
Trustee Karen Koenig, Trustee Steven Sebby, Trustee Kenneth M. Florey |
and Trustee Rick Soderstrom |

Trustee Tross commented he will oppose any expenditure on Chares Lane, and he |
hoped everyone's e-mail addresses were correct, because in his opinion two trustees on |
the Board did the right thing. |
Trustee Soderstrom took exception to Trustee Tross' comments of 2 trustees doing |
what is right in his opinion. |
020553
Dave Hulseberg stated that there have been three proposals and asked that the Board |
direct staff to further negotiate with two of the developers to maximize leverage. |
Trustee DeStephano suggested that they move forward. |
Enactment No: 129-143 E. St. Charl |
It was moved by Trustee DeStephano, seconded by Trustee Florey, that staff be |
directed to further negotiate with Mid-America/HDP Cambridge and Norwood |
Builders to refine their proposals relative to the redevelopment of the Lombard |

Mr. Balis went over the history of the west nile virus. He mentioned that thousands of |
birds have been infected. As of that date, there had been 190 confirmed cases in the |
Chicagoland area, with 2 cases in Lombard and 9 in DuPage County. He stated there |
was a high level of risk in this area. He also stated that late August or early September |
is the peak time for the virus. |
Mr. Balis explained the procedures for spraying, larval control, the treatment of standing |
water, all of which were put into place during the last negotiation of the contract. He also |
mentioned that additional funding from DuPage County Health Department had been |
received. |
Enactment No: Clarke Environmental |
Mr. Balis urged residents to use personal protection methods such as the use of |
repellent with deet, and the tip and toss method of standing water on residents' property. |
Trustee Tross returned to the dias at 10:20 p.m. |
Trustee DeStephano asked how effective the seven day cycle spraying program is. |
Mr. Balis responded by saying that the mist will go 500 - 1000 feet. |
Trustee Sebby inquired if dogs are susceptible to the disease, and Mr. Balis responded |
that only a couple of dogs had been diagnosed with the disease since the 1930's. |
Trustee Florey asked if the Prairie Path and the Great Western Trail had been sprayed. |
Mr. Balis said they had not been sprayed at this time, but if a need is seen in that area, it |
will be looked at. |
Mr. Balis assured residents that they do not need to stay indoors during the spraying. |
Trustee Florey asked that staff look at Westmore Woods, the Prairie Path and the Great |
Western Trail. |
Mr. Balis informed the Board that Clarke Environmental could be reached at |
800-942-2555 if residents had any concerns, and within 48 hours technicians will come |
out with recommendations. |
President Mueller stated that Lombard took steps in this area early on, and he wanted to |
assure residents that mosquito control had been in place for some time. |
020555
Website Technician for the Village of Lombard, Dirk Christensen spoke of the items of |
information available on the Village website, such as west nile virus and gypsy moth |
concerns, and the September 11 memorial events. He mentioned that the website has |

space . |
