LClerk -Cit y Attar City - MEMBERS OF THE CANVASSING BOARD PRESENT AND CONDUCTING THE OFFICIAL CANVASS OF THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION FOR THE OFFICE OF COUNCILMAN OF THE CITY OF ELGIN 157 VOLUME L COMMUNICATIONS Patricia Cook, 977 Illinois - Flooding Problem Patricia Cook: The reason I am here is because I bought the house at this address in December, 1984 . I asked the owners if this area flooded and they said no it does not flood except down the street and I took their word for it . Last week I flooded and in talking to the neighbors these homes have flooded, I have pictures showing these floods in 1982 and 1983 . I am here requesting that something be done because I put everything that I had into buying this house. Robert Malm: Mel Dahl and I were down in the Illinois/Hammond area during the course of the flooding. The area in question is in a flood plain and it is prone to flood during periods of high water by definition. Channel improvements could be con- sidered, I don' t know how cost effective they would be, but anytime you have a flooding condition in a flood plain, to modify that would take land some where else, such as we were talking up stream in Poplar Creek for that improvement . A dike would not help in this situation. To store the water you have to put it somewhere, which requires other land holdings. Mel Dahl: A study was completed by the Division of Waterways and the Corps of Engineers for the entire Poplar Creek drainage shed, and this is only a portion of the maps that were developed as a result of that study. The shaded area is the flood plain. To construct a dike would require the purchase of several pieces of property and the construction of a dike that would go around some of the houses that are on the south side of Hammond. You would have to develop some kind of detention basin with a storm sewer relocated into that , or relocated down stream somewhere. Constructing a dike would require -- well, at Illinois and Hammond there is a 24 inch storm sewer that goes south to the Poplar Creek, there is a gate there I believe that does hold some of the water, but once it gets over the top that ' s it . Robert Malm: I think there are some temporary things that can be done , such as clean out the channel to expedite the water flow, but the basic problem is that the area is a flood plain and by definition it will flood from time to time, and unless there is some other types of things done, other retention storage areas somewhere else this is going to be a problem. Gary Miller: Part of the problem with the flooding in this area involves the fact that even if we had the land on which to build the dike, there is still a storm sewer system north of Hammond which is all tributary, it flows south through that 24 inch VOLUME L 158 storm sewer into Poplar Creek and the fact that you build the dike and the fact that there is a flat gate on the 24 inch storm sewer, which would prevent the flow of water backwards through the storm sewer underneath the dike, the fact is that you would still have run-off generated from that entire neighborhood up stream, or further north. That water will flow in a natural direction down the hill towards Hammond and towards the creek. You build a dike to keep the water from flowing in but you prohibit the water from flowing out . It becomes a very extensive project in terms of land acquisition and the engineering to do it . I would also mention that under normal circumstances as a daily routine we get calls in our office from loaning institutions and even from real estate people asking if properties , by specific addresses, if those properties are in a flood plain and we respond and we keep track of who we talk to and what our answer is. I don't recall ever having a call relative to this address at 977 Illinois Avenue. I would also point out that anyone living in that area has the option of getting flood insurance at lower rates because of the flood insurance program which the city got into about three years ago. We can pursue a solution if you so desire, but you should realize it will become a major engineering project and it will take a lot of time, but if you wish us to proceed we can do that . Mayor Verbic: I think the flood insurance is one of the first things the people living in this area should address . When you look at this map the problem is quite extensive and as to what can be done will have to be determined by engineering. We certainly shall make an effort to see if something can be done. Tom Rakow, 931 Oakdale Tom Rakow: I am here representing Illinois Hydraulic who was and is the prime contractor on the water treatment plant that was completed and turned on line in November, 1982 . There were a couple of problems after the thing went on line and we were having continuous discussions with Black & Veatch, the engineer, and the city staff and it basically came to an impass on a couple of things and it was suggested that Illinois Hydraulics submit a bill. We did do that , we submitted a semi-final bill back in December, 1984 , and we have yet to hear anything from the city and the staff. i 159 VOLUME L Robert Malm: I believe Mr. Blondin can respond to the status of this payment . Dan Blondin: What Mr. Rakow outlined to you is substantially correct . He has submitted what entails a semi-final payment that we have treated as a final payment because in effect it would exhaust all remaining funds held by the city. The city has reviewed that along with Black & Veatch and we have submitted our review back to Black & Veatch and we anticipate that within the next couple of weeks Black & Veatch should prepare the final change order which woudl be brought back to you at that time. Tom Rakow: That is fine, if it happens within two weeks. We were told this was going to come before you two weeks ago and then I called to see if it was on the agenda for tonight and I was informed no and then I thought that maybe I had better come down and talk to you. Dan Blondin: I can't guarantee that it is going to be here in two weeks, we sent off the letter to Black & Veatch and we anticipate that it should not take that long, but whatever their response is .

PETITION 9-85 REQUESTING A B-1 COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT SPECIAL USE FOR A "GARAGE FOR THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF RESTORING AND RECONSTRUCTING ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILES, BEING AUTOMOBILES OF AT LEAST 20 YEARS OF AGE AND/OR SIMILAR FOREIGN COLLECTIBLE CARS, WITH NO OUTSIDE STORAGE OF AUTOMOBILES PERMITTED" , PROPERTY AT 735 DUNDEE AVENUE APPROVED Jerry Deering: Petition 9-85 concerns approximately 10 , 000 square feet of land located on the east side of Dundee Avenue between Columbia and Lincoln. At its regular meeting of February 18 , 1985 , the Land Use Committee recommended approval of this request for special use, subject to the three conditions outlined on the Findings of Fact . Attorney Lylc C. Brown: This is a presentation that the Council has heard twice before and really represents the culmination of work between the staff, the Council and the Petitioner, in amend- the Zoning Ordinance to include this use as a special use under B-1. Based on the response that we had before the Land Use Committee, I believe that the major objection that was expressed before the Council before, that is that the possibility that the property would revert to an unrestricted B-3 use has now been taken care of. As to the neighbor who wanted the special conditions there it is I am sure inserted, at that neighbor' s request , for a stockade or complete blockage of view for the parking area in the rear for employee' s parking and other than that the volumn and number of objections has subsided materially, and I think that based upon the Council ' s previous instructions to try to work something out that was acceptable use to put a six year piece of property that has been vacant for that length of time to use and to have it improved, we have done that and we have limited the use so that the neighbors donot have to worry about an unrestricted reversion to B-3 . i 161 VOLUME L Councilman Andersen made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Shales to approve Petition 9-85 . Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen, Schmidt , Shales and Mayor Verbic. Nays : None. PETITION 11-85 REQUESTING A B-2 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT SPECIAL USE FOR AN AMUSEMENT ESTABLISHMENT, PROPERTY LOCATED AT 13 DOUGLAS AVENUE - APPROVED Jerry Deering: Petition 11-85 concerns property on the east side of Douglas Avenue between Highland and Chicago Streets. The proposed amusement establishment is more specifically a teen nightclub. At a special meeting on February 25 , 1985 , The Land Use Committee recommended approval of the requested amusement establishment , subject to the conditions outlined in their attached Findings of Fact . There are three conditions. The first condition refers to actually an additional thirteen sub-conditions which have been proposed by the petitioner. Richard Beyers, 1119 W. Crescent , Park Ridge, Petitioner: There are a few things that I would like to bring to light on this . Two weeks ago at the first meeting , concerning security, at this time I would like to change that . Two or three uniformed officers now. The second thing I would like to bring to light on this is the access . Last couple of weeks it was voted down because the access feeling was that it was not safe enough, the building in question. All three exits will be completely accessible at all times when business is open. I have other plans for this operation with promotions of other businesses in the area. Specifically with music, sports equip- ment , clothing and possibly food. I would also like to have on a Tuesday night adult dancing, big band music, the hours with that would be 7 to 12 , and admission would more than likely be $10 .00 per couple on that . I have no intention of serving liquor, it would be strictly dancing for adults . Mayor Verbic: Do you have other establishments like this in the area or is this the first one. Mr. Beyers: This is the first one. Councilwoman Shales: You say that you don ' t have any experience in this field. Have you not worked or do you have observations of other operations like this . Mr. Beyers: Yes, I have. Councilwoman Shales: I would like to know and I did'nt see this brought out at the public hearing, the experience in other areas and what kinds of problems there are on the outside. VOLUME L 162 I believe that we can work out the problems on the inside. I believe that if you are sincere that you can make it a good operation and that you can control what is going on inside. I guess what worries me and what I would like to have more infor- mation on, and I am not sure that I can get that tonight , is what would be going on outside. I think that any place where you have teenagers congregate other peole are going to come around with drugs, alcohol, or whatever. It just happens , it happens in High Schools and everywhere. This is a market that people try to take advantage of. I don't know if our Police Department has enough personnel, or if we have the ability to really control this like it should be on the outside of your building. I don ' t have problems with you being able to control it on the inside, my problems are with the outside. Mr. Beyers: There will be uniformed security, also 5 or 6 adult employees. Admission will be paid and once admission is paid and the person enters the premises there will be no leaving, so the loitering problem should be taken care of in that respect . Councilwoman Shales: What you are saying is that they will not be allowed back in without paying again and I think that goes back to what I said that you can control the inside, I am not sure what we could do to make the outside safe for the teenagers who are going there too. I guess I would like to hear more, perhaps tonight is not even the best for me, I would at least like another two weeks . I would like the Police Department to respond to what kind of problems they would foresee and what kine of problems the community may or may not have on the outside of these establishments, with loitering, with drugs, with people handing around, whatever. There is experience with other places and I would like to know what it has been. Councilman Hansen: Perhaps we could hear from the Police Department as to any concerns they may have. Deputy Heine: I am really not prepared to answer these questions. I am sure we can come up with the answers , but as of right now I personally am not very familiar with what is being proposed. Councilman Andersen: Supposing there were 20 teenagers hanging around the outside of this place making an impass on the sidewalk, how would you move them along. Deputy Heine: Basically we would respond to a call, or perhaps observe it on patrol. If they were causing some sort of a disturbance or some kind of an obstruction on the street , we would simply ask them to move along. If they complied that is fine, if they did'nt we would have to take some more drastic action, I suppose the most drastic of which might be an arrest . 163 VOLUME L Generally speaking the problems that occur, or the lack of problems that occur at these type of establishments are directly in relation to the type of management that you have at the establishment . If the management is good and has a no nonsense type of approach chances are your problems are going to be minimal. If the management is other than that chances are you are going to have other types of problems, more serious types of problems. Councilman Gilliam: What you will find when you have an activity like this , the good kids will go inside and they will dance and have a good time and they won' t break any laws, or do anything wrong. Its the kids that hang around the outside that will create the problems for you. Its that 10% element that you will spend 900 of your time on. Councilman Schmidt : Is this going to be for the three high school students here in Elgin, or will we have the problem of outside students invading us . Mr. Beyers: It is mainly for the students in Elgin, but anyone would be allowed in. David White: I am with Tony White Shoe store directly across the street from the proposed teenage club. I am not here to take on kids, because I believe they should have a place like this, nor am I angry or enemies of the Corns, because I respect the family. I would just like to go back a little bit in history with what has happened downtown in Elgin, some of the things that have gne on there. One, back in the late sixties and seventies with the parking lot problems we used to have with teenagers, when they used to sit on the hoods of cars and would take up the parking places , and with all respect to the police officers , when they would try to remove them the kids would get off the cars, slug the meters and it was a problem for a long time. Elgin Downtowners, which was formed in 1972 , spent $180 , 000 moving a bar out of downtown, with the help of the Council and all the organizations down there. That area is still a very viable retail area. It has nothing to do with kids , but when you have large gatherings of anyone it is a detriment to people who feel the area is unsafe. Elgin has had that plague and I don't think it is right to bring it back. Lastly, you have Borden Square , you have the library , which is certainly a positive move in that area. You have the Gromer' s development , which is another positive move. I question any shopping area, or commercial office space that you see where you see a teenage bar or a teenage nightclub intermingled with that type of use, and I think what we have to be very cautious of for the next future plans of that particlar area, which everyone, even the new members running it are very concerned I VOLUME L 164 with is spot situations like this that can create such an atmosphere that you will then detract from taking the type of quality tenant to come into that area. It has nothing to do with Ben Corn or kids , it that we on Douglas Avenue, and on Spring and on the streets that are still very viable down there have literary thousands of dollars invested and we have stuck it out with this community on the premise that things were going to happen, and things are turning around, I just hope that we will al think. Gretchen Vapnar: We are talking about teenagers being a very large group of consummers who help support the downtown businesses and also we are not talking about teenagers being a detriment to our community. We are going to have to invest in the good teen- agers and I suggest that you keep that in mind when you consider this proposal. I am the parent of two teenagers and I see them as young and positive people contributing to Elgin, who are now coming and asking for some consideration. I feel it is too easy for us to lump all teenagers together, just as it is very easy for us to lump people together. I suggest to you that teenagers in our downtown, consummers, could be avery positive force in our downtown and I just ask that you put that together with the other items that you need to consider in this situation. Councilwoman Shales: I agree with Councilman Gilliam that the good kids will go inside and I don't have any problem with that and I would like to support this project , because I believe if it is run correctly it will be a good project . Since Mr. Beyers does not have a track record, he has not done one of these before, he has no experience. I would like to move that we table this for two weeks while the staff does some digging, finds out the experiences of other teen nighclubs like this, and any problems they may have encountered on the outside of them and how they have been able to deal with the, and what kinds of locations these nightclubs are in. I think we would have the same concerns no matter where we put this, whether it was downtown or anywhere. Councilman Andersen: I will second the motion to table. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam and Shales. Nays: Council- men Hansen, Schmidt and Mayor Verbic. Mayor Verbic: The table fails for lack of a majority. Ben Corn: I have been a businessman in downtown Elgin for 35 years and I also have a lot of money invested down there, and my own children are in business downtown as well as in other parts of Elgin. I would be the last person in Elgin to bring anything in downtown Elgin that would have a tendency to hurt downtown Elgin in any way. 165 VOLUME L I have done quite a bit of investigating, I have been over to Glenview, who has a large facility such as the one this man wants to open. I have been to Woodfield and they have one over there. They are very high class operations and they are very well managed. I visited the retail stores around the one in Glenview and none of the people that I talked to had any objections to it . If the place is not managed right there will not be a place. In the first place I will lock it up and in the second place if there were problems down there the parents wuld not let their children come. I think the young people would behave and I think it would be an asset to the community. Attorney Alfred Kirkland, Jr. : Councilwoman Shales you asked about other experience, we have some experience right here in Elgin. I was born and raised here in Elgin and went to school in Elgin and we had a place called the Storm Cellar in the Methodist Church, when I grew up in Elgin. Lots of kids down- stairs, same kind of operation, big dark parking lot right nearby. It was well managed and we never had a single problem. I have two teenage kids and four kids who are all going to go through the Elgin School system, if we don' t give them some place to congregate with their own, then they are going to turn to what ever alternatives that are available and we don' t like the alternatives that are available, and I would like to see this kind of opportunity exist in Elgin for my kids and for everyone else and I think the kids can handle it . Councilwoman Shales: I agree with you but I don ' t want someone hanging around the outside trying to sell them drugs as they go in ans out , or the loiters and people driving around the block. It is not the kids that are going to use it that I am worried about , its the kids that are not going to use that I worry about . I am responsible for whats going on in Elgin and I want to be sure that we are subjecting ourselves to more problems . Jan Thoma, 1307 Littlejohn Drive: I am a senior at Elgin High School and a member of the Student Council. SADD ( Students against driving drunk) the main concept of this program is to warn the teenagers against the hazards of driving under the influence and to try and get them not to drive anyone with anyone who has been drinking or been taking drugs . I also talked to the Land Use Commitee about the parties that are in Elgin. The parties are the only place that the teenagers of Elgin and surrounding area have to go to get together, dance , have a good time, whatever they want to do. The only problem with these parties is that most of the time, probably 90% of the time there is not adult supervision and there is almost always the problem of drugs and alcohol. The only solution that I see is this teen center. i VOLUME L 166 With me I have 31 signed statements from adults saying that they support this teen center and I also have 168 more signatures to add to the petition of over a thousand that we brought into the Committee the last time. I would just like to add by reading one of these statements that one of the parents sent in. As the mother of three children who have been raised in the Elgin High School system, I strongly support the proposal for a teen center in downtown Elgin. It is quite easy for adults to criticize youngpeople today and say they are hopeless . Certainly we live in a time when children become adults , addicted to adult habits early in pre-teen and adolescence. Rather than just complain the citizens of Elgin need to provide an alternative, a place where youngpeople can enjoy themselves without any pressure to indulge in liquor or drugs. Not only will the youngpeople benefit , but all residents of Elgin will benefit if our young teens are kept away from the drugs that lead them to wild, illegal behavior and drunk driving. I urge you to give the youngpeople a chance. Nothing can be lost by trying. If the center works and maybe one of your children, grandchildren, will be saved by this program. s/ Janet Thoma, 1307 Littlejohn Drive. Councilman Schmidt made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hansen to approve Petition 11-85 . Councilman Hansen: I agree with Attorney Kirkland , unfortunately my children are nolonger teenagers but I wish there would have been some place like this for them when they were of this age and in high school. I think it is something what we really ought to give a try. Mayor Verbic: As a father myself I prefer having one of my youngsters go to a supervised place of entertainment rather than going to home parties like we have heard mentioned may times. Councilman Gilliam: I will vote against it for acouple of reasons , one, I think it is the wrong location and two, I think that contrary to what the young lady said the gangs like to go where the action is. They will be downtown, they like to hang outside they will drive around the street and create the disturbance, and there is no control for that . The good kids will be inside and I think the negative element will stay outside and create the problems , and that will be about 10% of the population. That is the way it is in high school and in society 10% of the people create all the problems. Mayor Verbic: I am going to have the Clerk call for the vote.

Nays: Councilmen Andersen and Gilliam. 167 VOLUME L PETITION 3-85 REQUESTING AN R-3 TWO FAMILY RESIDENC DISTRICT SPECIAL USE FOR OFF-STREET PARKING, PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SOUTH LIBERTY AND MAY STREETS BY CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH -- APPROVED Jerry Deering: The subject property is approximately 8, 712 and is located east of and adjacent to the Calvary Baptist Church' s present location.
