The engineers came in and met with Clerk Price to discuss the engineering plans. Some of the proposed changes they made were to eliminate the bumpers by the two buildings and use guard rail, they also stated they would eliminate parking spaces to the south so that the patrons could turn around if the parking lot was full. They would also get IDOT permission to have the water flow into the inlet on 111 th Street, they also thought it would be good for the neighbors to the south if they had a 6 fence instead of the guard rail and they proposed 17 foot parking spaces and a 22 foot drive aisle. Trustee Urban would like guard rail to the south instead of a fence. Engineer Spolar advises that we use the bumpers and not the guard rail along the two buildings. Engineer Spolar stated that this is less than standard drive aisle, he also commented that they may need to have compact cars only on one side of the parking lot. Trustee Urban asked about a catch basin in the middle of the parking lot that will go into the IDOT storm. Engineer Spolar stated that IDOT would need to approve that. Trustee Dziedzic asked what the benefit of a guard rail is on the South end of the parking lot. Trustee Urban explained that when pushing snow, you won t knock down the fence. Attorney Jones asked that Engineer Spolar speak with their engineer. Trustee Dziedzic stated that the owner of W. 111 th Street is proposing a second floor addition to include two apartments. Trustee Kats asked about parking. Trustee Dziedzic explained that they will use the five spaces in the back for the tenants and the 6

4 spaces on Normandy for the employees. President Werner explained that presently the code book does not allow for apartments above a business. The first step is to have a text amendment to allow this. That will need to go in front of the REDB. After that the owner could ask for a hearing for a special use to have an apartment above a business. Attorney Jones explained it would be a hearing process for each request under special use. The text amendment would include a case by case basis. Attorney Jones stated that the REDB would make a recommendation to the Village Board to allow mixed use in the business district.
