| PETE LEZEAU |
Mr. Pete Lezeau, Antioch Redevelopment Commission Chairman, stated the Redevelopment
Commission recently made a motion to request authorization to ask for bids
to be received regarding the burying of the utilities on the West side of
Main Street. Trustee Porch asked George Sakas, Senior Planner, to explain
the procedure we need to go through for burying the utilities on the west
side of Main Street. Mr. Sakas said that part of two independent activities
right now are the extension of the new lighting along Lake Street, “that’s
one activity that may give us an opportunity to bargain for a better deal
for putting those utilities underground.” He also said that we are also
working on the Downtown Plan, and he is not sure how the plan would affect
the burying of the utilities, other than stating they should be buried.
Mayor Maravelas said that Dr. Don Skidmore, former Chairman of the Redevelopment
Commission said there was money available in the TIF budget. Mr. Lezeau
asked for approval to receive estimates. Attorney Bob Long stated that if
all the Commission is asking for is just estimates, and they are not going
out to formal bid, he didn’t see a problem on making a motion for that request. |

| PZB03-11 |
The following Planning and Zoning Board letter of recommendation dated October
10, 2003 regarding the proposed height variance at 373 Kairys Street, Lot
3 of Kairys Subdivision; PIN #02-05-301-002; PZB03-11; recommendation to
DENY was reviewed:
The Combined Planning and Zoning Board conducted a hearing on October 9, 2003, following notification as required by Illinois State Law and Village Ordinance. Petitioner Chicago 20 MHz d/b/a US Cellular, Chicago, IL as represented by it’s agent Michael Bieniek of Site Acquisition Consultants L.P. in Palatine, IL. Co-petitioner Javier Garcia of Antioch, IL. Site The property is vacant/undeveloped and zoned M1 Limited Manufacturing. Adjoining properties to the east and the north are developed R1 Single Family Residential. Adjoining properties to the west and south are vacant/undeveloped and zoned M1 Limited Manufacturing. Proposal Antioch’s zoning ordinance restricts structures in M-1 zoning to three stories or 45 feet. Petitioner seeks variance for the emplacement of a mobile phone “cell” tower with a 190-foot height. Presentation Mr. Bieniek presented rationale for the emplacement and variance: The need for a US Cellular tower to complete the “grid” in conjunction with the tower on IL Rte. 83 in unincorporated Antioch near West Loon Lake; improved cell phone coverage for the Village of Antioch; and the Need for 190-foot tower based on radio-frequency engineer’s estimate. Discussion The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the need for a 190-foot variance given the relative elevation of the site (818 feet above sea level). Proximity to residential neighbors was also considered. Audience There were citizen comments from the adjacent neighbors. Their objections included proximity to their property, (estimated 70 feet) and the height of the tower. Staff Review Senior Planner George Sakas recommended denial fo the variance (attached) based on lack of justification for the 190-foot height, and lack of a plan for a principal structure/use on the property, and proximity to residential property. Recommendation Following discussion, Bob McCarty moved, Kyle LaReese
seconded a motion to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the zoning variance. AYES: 6;
Cole, LaReese, Keller, Baba, McCarty, Ipsen. NAYS: 0. ABSTAIN: 0. ABSENT:
0. The Motion Carried. |
| VB MOTION |
A motion was made by Trustee Turner, seconded by Trustee Porch that based
on the Planning and Zoning Board’s recommendation, to DENY PZB03-11 without
prejudice, so they can come back at any time to submit a new plan with more
scientific data. On roll call, the vote was:
YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Porch, Hanson and Turner. NO: 0. THE MOTION CARRIED. |
| DISCUSSION |
Mr. Mike Bieniek, Site Acquisition Consultants, L.P., said that he submitted
a letter requesting this item be tabled tonight because there was quite
a bit of misinformation that was portrayed in staff reports to the Planning
and Zoning Board. He said that following the Planning and Zoning Board meeting,
he said they tried several times to schedule a meeting with staff to clear
up some of those issues. Mr. Bieniek said that also present in the audience
were the project manager for US Cellular, the radio frequency engineer,
and they have brought plot maps and all that information available that
they wanted to discuss with staff to clear up these issues. Mr. Bieniek
also said that he doesn’t believe the Planning and Zoning Board made their
recommendation to the Village Board based on the correct information. Village
Attorney Bob Long said that staff doesn’t talk to people about issues that
were not presented to the Planning and Zoning Board between the Planning
and Zoning Board meeting and the Village Board meeting. Attorney Long said
the Planning and Zoning Board is where you have a public hearing and the
people from the community have an opportunity to come in and cross examine
any petitioner. He said it’s the petitioner’s obligation at that point,
to put forward your case. Trustee Pierce said the motion gives US Cellular
a clean slate and they could start over without any time limitations. Attorney
Long said that it does and that typically if a variance is denied, the applicant
is not allowed to reapply for a period of six months. Mr. Bieniek asked
about the moratorium that is in place. Attorney Long said the motion contemplates
him coming back to submit his application at anytime, that’s specifically
what it says. |
| MAIN ST. TREE MINI-LIGHTS |
Trustee Porch reviewed the proposals received by the Antioch Redevelopment
Commission regarding the tree lights for Main Street. She said the Redevelopment
Commission’s recommendation is to award the proposal to Zenon Company, in
the amount of $9,997.00 for the installation of the approximately 770 stings
of lights on Main Street. Trustee Porch also said that at this time there
is no electrical power on Lake, Toft and Orchard Streets, these trees will
not be included in this years proposal, however, they may expand the lights
on the trees to these streets at some in the future.
A motion was made by Trustee Porch, seconded by Trustee Pierce to approve the Redevelopment Commission’s recommendation and award the proposal to Zenon Company in the amount of $9,997.00, for the installation of holiday mini lights on the east and west side of Main Street (Route 83) as listed. Funds will be paid from the Redevelopment Fund. On roll call, the vote was: YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Porch, Hanson and Turner. NO: 0. THE MOTION CARRIED. |
| ATTORNEY |
Attorney Bob Long read aloud the Resolution entitled, A Resolution commending
the Clock Tower Committee, Thanking the Generous Donors to date and clarifying
the Siting of the Clock Tower. |
| R03-25 - CLOCK TOWER |
A motion was made by Trustee Porch, seconded by Trustee Caulfield to approve
Resolution R03-25, entitled, A Resolution commending the Clock Tower Committee,
Thanking the Generous Donors to date and clarifying the Siting of the Clock
Tower.
Trustee Turner said that although she wasn’t present at the last meeting,
she has read in the minutes that there was quite a conversation about
this. She said that she thinks we should determine the final location
now. She said that it is insulting to the Clock Tower Committee who has
come to the Board several times to request from the Board the location
of the Clock Tower. She said that we should determine the location and
let them get on with their fundraising. Trustee Turner said that we just
told a cell tower company that we will let them resubmit regardless of
the moratorium. She doesn’t agree that we should tell the Clock Tower
Committee that they should have to wait. She said she would be for the
resolution, except for Section 4. Mayor Maravelas said the Committee has
come before the Village Board five times. He also said the property in
question is less than one-third of an acre. Attorney Long said that when
he looks at the resolution, it’s not so much that it wouldn’t go on that
one-third of acre at the northeast corner of Main and Orchard Streets,
but it may be that the Route 83 Corridor Study may suggest that the Clock
Tower be located more to the left or right. Trustee Pierce said there
are several things that he doesn’t understand in Sections 3 and 4 and
that he agrees with Trustee Turner. He said that at the last meeting he
asked for the motion regarding the clock tower be repeated at tonight’s
meeting. He said that instead we have resolution under Trustee Porch’s
committee. Trustee Pierce went on to say that if you look at Section 3,
it doesn’t say where, and if you look at Section 4 it say it’s the result
of the Study. He said that this resolution sounds agreeable, but it’s
not doing anything. Trustee Pierce said that in the approved minutes from
last meeting, there is everyone’s discussion with the exception for the
Mayor. The minutes showed the Mayor calling for a motion. Trustee Pierce
said the Mayor implored them last week to vote yes on the location and
he is imploring everyone here to vote yes on a location. Trustee Larson
said that she absolutely agrees with Trustees Turner and Pierce, in addition,
it’s property that the Village owns, it’s one-third of an acre at the
corner, there is not going to be a driveway coming in or out where the
Clock Tower is, so it’s not going to hinder any business located there,
and the bottom line is the corridor study is a recommendation that we
are the final votes on. She said if we all think that is a good location,
let the Committee get on with their fundraising. |
| TOWER DISCUSSION |
Robert Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building, suggested that
in Section 3 the verbiage be changed to state at the northeast corner of
Main Street and Orchard Street, and in Section 4 replace the word location
with the word site. Trustee Hanson said that he is one of the people that
voted against this because of the situation here, and he commends the Mayor
for stepping forward and trying to come up with a resolution that we all
agree upon, that we still put it on the corner. He indicated there is nothing
wrong with waiting for the Study to help us plan. Trustee Larson said that
if we are all in favor of that corner, why do we need a resolution, why
not say put it on that corner and the siting will take care of itself. Trustee
Turner said the corridor study may take a while. Mayor Maravelas said there
is a motion and a second and that he is on the Clock Tower Committee. He
said they worked very hard, they are civic minded individuals who go out
and they work very hard for this community for you people to get a quarter
of a million dollars and when they’re done, they’re going to donate it to
the Village and the people of the Village of Antioch. He said let’s not
deprive them, let them go out and get their funds. He said if the tower
is located two feet left or right, it’s going to be on that one-third of
the property and let’s go on with that. Mayor Maravelas called for the roll
call vote.
Clerk Rowe asked if this motion approves the resolution as read, without any changes. Trustee Porch suggested that she would withdraw her motion if Trustee Caulfield would withdraw his second. Trustee Caulfield indicated that he would not withdraw his second. On roll call, the vote was: YES: 4*; Caulfield, Porch, Hanson and Maravelas. NO: 3; Pierce, Larson and Turner. THE MOTION CARRIED. *In cases of a tie, the Mayor has the right to vote. |
| AMEND RESOLUTION |
A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Turner to amend
Resolution R03-25 in Section 3 to state at the Northeast corner of Main
Street and Orchard Street. Following a brief discussion, the motion and
the second was amended to include striking Section 4 entirely.
Clerk Rowe repeated the motion. A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Turner to amend Resolution R03-25, entitled, A Resolution Commending the Clock Tower Committee, Thanking the Generous Donors to date and clarifying the Siting of the Clock Tower, to amend Section 3 to read, “The Clock Tower shall be installed at the Northeast corner of Main Street and Orchard Street on Village-owned property and striking Section 4 entirely. Trustee Caulfield said that he would like to say that we have heard from
one side of this issue this evening, and the reason he is voting the way
he is, is when he hears the word insulting brought up earlier by Trustee
Turner, that’s exactly the word he was thinking of using when it comes
to insulting our village planner, insulting the village board for conditioning
a study, and making decisions before we actually have and paid for the
study. He also said that risking wasting tax payers money once again by
starting a project without a plan. Trustee Caulfield said that Trustee
Hanson refreshed his memory earlier today, that the Scout House was a
project that was started in just the same fashion and he doesn’t think
we should go down that track again. He also said that this resolution,
in his opinion, narrows down the location to that specific corner, it’s
the intention of this board to have it in that corner, and all this resolution
does is leave an out if needed. He said that it seems to him that if this
Board is going to make decisions about where to place things when they
have a study and they have a planner, perhaps it might not be to far to
carry it to and ask why do we need a planner and why do we need the study.
He said again that it’s not wise to not wait for the results of the study
and to take the advice of our planner. |
| TOWER DISCUSSION |
Trustee Porch asked Clock Tower Committee members if the site still needs
to be tested. Mr. Jim LaFontaine said that once we have a commitment on
where the tower is going, we can go further with drawings for the site,
continue with fundraising, have soil testing done, we can’t build without
all the information. Trustee Porch asked if it were unreasonable to ask
the Board for the location without all this information. She said they still
have a lot of plans to submit to the Board, so our saying it has to be located
there, what if for some reason on the Committees end, they find out it’s
not a usable spot. Trustee Larson said if they’re asking us to commit to
a spot, and they came back and said all of their engineering says the location
is not suitable, her guess would be the Committee would come back to the
Village Board and state they have to find another site. Trustee Hanson said
that we just finished the first phase of the corridor study and he assumes
that if we want the Clock Tower on the Northeast corner, the study will
agree. He believes that the Board is taking this whole thing totally out
of content, and they were just leaving an out, so that everyone would have
an out if needed.
Clerk Rowe again repeated the motion. A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Turner to amend Resolution R03-25, entitled, A Resolution Commending the Clock Tower Committee, Thanking the Generous Donors to date and clarifying the Siting of the Clock Tower. Section 3 of the Resolution has been amended to read, “The Clock Tower shall be installed at the Northeast corner of Main Street and Orchard Street on Village-owned property”. Section 4, in it’s entirety, has been removed. On roll call, the vote was: YES: 4*; Pierce, Larson, Turner and Maravelas. NO: 3; Caulfield, Porch and Hanson. THE MOTION CARRIED. *In a tie vote, Mayor Maravelas has the right to vote. Mr. Jim LaFontaine, on behalf of the Clock Tower Committee thanked the
Village Board for all their time and efforts they have put into this project. |
| 2004 WALLEYE TOURN. |
Trustee Porch said that she has been notified by Claude LeMere, Fox Lake
Community Development Director, that the Professional Walleye Tournament
has selected another state for the 2004 Tournament. She said, the Chain
O’ Lakes area may be considered for the 2005 Tournament so we may want to
plan on budgeting the appropriate funds for next year. |
| ROUTE 173 |
Trustee Porch reported that Route 173 railroad crossing will be closed on
October 21 and is expected to reopen on October 29. |
| LEECH & ASSOCIATES |
Trustee Caulfield reviewed the memorandum dated October 8, 2003 from Mitzi
Chriss, CAD Operator, regarding the invoice in the amount of $14,000.00
from Leech & Associates dated September 9, 2003 concerning the sewer easement
acquisition and appraisals on property along Route 173 in connection with
the WalMart/GLP. Trustee Caulfield said that Ms. Chriss explains the invoice,
but, he doesn’t see a call for approval of this invoice this evening. Village
Attorney Bob Long indicated this item was held over from the last meeting
for clarification and it would appropriate for the Board to vote on the
invoice tonight if they so choose.

Mr. Hartnett said there are actually two projects that Smith Engineering
is working on for the village. He said plans and specifications were prepared
in January 2001 - 2002 by Clark Dietz. They have since reviewed those plans
and will prepare an addendum and pending the outcome from tonight’s meeting,
it will be ready to go out for bid within the next two weeks. He said the
anticipated timeline would be to go out for bids in November and to receive
the bids towards the end of November. The bids will be reviewed by the Village
Board at a December meeting; prepare contract documents and other necessary
paperwork and the project should be ready to go the first of the year. Mr.
Hartnett said this project can be done during the winter months, actually
it’s a little bit easier to do, and the project should be wrapped up by
mid-summer. Mr. Hartnett reviewed details of the recap project and the lining
project are required by the EPA to minimize inflow infiltration into the
sewer collection system, that impacts the sewerage treatment facility. The
project has four zones and Mr. Hartnett will work with staff regarding the

should include the Oakwood Knolls area.

Probst if he knew if Waste Management is intending to reimburse residents
for one week of service, since Waste Management did not fulfill their contract.

the final clean up of some areas. He said he also discussed these issues

that SMC will be extending the planning period for six months. Another meeting
is scheduled for October 22, 2003 at the Antioch Township offices. Attorney
Long said that it helped that they clarified the various maps, and it looks
like they will be taking some of those maps out because they were part of

who’s property looked liked they might be included in the flood plain. |
