Parker, City Manager SUBJECT : Request for Participation in :he Grease Trap Incentive Program PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to present to the Mayor and members of the City Council a request from the new owner of Gee-N- Jays Restaurant, located at 925 Dundee Avenue, to modify the current Grease Trap Incentive Program in order to allow for their participation in the program. BACKGROUND Mr. & Mrs . Tim Hamilton are in the process of purchasing Gee-N - Jays Restaurant . The Hamilton ' s are being required by FRWRD to install a 1, 000 gallon Grease Trap at the site . While the subject property is located within an area that has separate sewers , the property influences the combined sewer overflow areas . As a result the Illinois Pollution Control Board Decisions and Federal Regulations force Elgin and FRWRD to continue to regulate non- domestic sanitary sources within these areas as if they were in the traditional CSO area . While Gee-N-Jay' s restaurant is in a separate sewer area their effluent flows into a combined sewer area as it travels to the treatment plant . The request from Gee-N-Jays was reviewed and discussed with the staff at the Development Review Committee . The Elgin Grease Trap Incentive Program was adopted in March of 1998 . To date no restaurants in the downtown area have taken advantage of the program. The program addresses the need to satisfy regulatory requirements within the combined sewer overflow areas and stimulate restaurant redevelopment within the Center City. While Gee-N-Jay ' s is not located within Elgin ' s Center City, the business is required to meet the regulations for CSO areas . Some level of assistance is warranted due to the regulatory requested . The level of assistance could be less than 50 percent due to the potential number of eligible establishments involved and their location outside of the downtown.
