REQUESTING ANNEXATION AND R-4 GENERAL
RESIDENCE DISTRICT ZONING WITH A SPECIAL
USE FOR A CHURCH, NURSING HOME, AND
CEMETERY, PROPERTY LOCATED ON WEST
HIGHLAND AVENUE BY THE APOSTOLIC
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Attorney Fred Steffen, representing the Apostolic Christian
Church: The City has already annexed approximately 15 3/4
acres immediately adjacent to the property in question. We
are here to talk about 2 .437 acres, which represent the
western slice of the model which you see before you.
Councilwoman Shales: Fred, the drawing that you have over
there is different than the layout that you have here.
Attorney Steffen: This is the first drawing that we
presented to the City Council and at that point we had the
cemetery in a different situation, it is still in the same
area of the property.
The church has spent $350 , 000 bringing the sewer from the
last point in Valley Creek out to this property which opens
up Randall Road to economic development .
Councilwoman Shales: I don't recall the cemetery being
presented before. I don't have any objection to it , I
think you are planning to screen it so you are not ---
Attorney Steffen: Yes, there will be shrubbery and this
property immediately to the north and west is in the floodplain
so there will never be any homes down there.
Councilwoman Moylan: I drove out there this morning and it
will be a beautiful addition to the rest home and the
cemetery will be invisible from Randall Road.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Van De Voorde to close the Public Hearing and direct the
staff to draw the appropriate ordinance. Yeas: Councilmen

$1, 500 , 000 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVENUE
BONDS, THE PROCEEDS THEREOF TO BE USED
TO FINANCE THE COSTS OF ACQUISITION OF
A SITE FOR USE BY QUANTUM DATA, INC. ,
AN ILLINOIS CORPORATION
Attorney Calvin Thelan, representing Allen and Ann Jorgensen.
sole shareholders of Quantum Data, Inc. : Quantum Data is
presently in Carol Stream leasing facilities and they
manufacture test equipment for video monitors. We submitted
with the application a list of our prime customers. The
Company presently employs about 30 people, but the demand
for its products has increased considerably and it is hoped
that in a short time after we come to Elgin that we would
more than double that nunber of people.
We are asking that yoU issue $1, 500,000 in bonds for the
purpose of enabLing us to come to Elgin. The $1, 500 , 000
would be used first for the purchase of land, we are
presently under contract with the Burnidge people for
property in Big Timber. The property we are purchasing
is on the corner of Jansen Drive and Big Timber Road.
We are hoping, if you choose to issue the bonds, that we
could proceed to complete the financing by the end of this
month and we would like, if averything goes well, to be in
the facility by early fall next year. We will be spending
approximately $840 ,000 for this building and we will be
using approximately $300 ,000 of the financing for the
purchase of some equipment to make the product that we sell.
Mayor Verbic: I am extremely happy that Quantum Data has
chosen Elgin and this site because of the sophisticated
type of work which you do that you are going to make a great
contribution and hopefully will be the leader of other
companies of your type coming into our City.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Andersen to close the Public Hearing. Yeas: Councilmen

LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES OF ILLINOIS

alcoholism-drug dependence program on the premises.
326 VOLUME L
This will be approximately a 17 ,000 square foot building on
a 3 acre site.
At its regular meeting of May 6 , 1985, the Land Use Committee
recommended approval of Petition 19-85 , subject to additional
conditions , by a vote of 6 yes and 0 no.
No objectors appeared at that time. However, in the interim
we have received a letter from U.S. Shelter, which makes
comments about the highest and best use of the property,
which I will make available to you now.
Attorney Heimburg and Charles Burnidge reviewed with the
Council the present improvements on the property and the
proposed site plan.
Mayor Verbic: This question is for Reverend Roger Volkenhauer.
You basically have the same type of treatment as Lovelton.
Reverend Roger Volkenhauer, Director of Adds Program: We
have a number of programs and provide a wide range of services
and we have some similar, but not exactly like Lovelton.
Mayor Verbic: How many patients will you accommodate at
this site.
Reverend Volkenhauer: A total of 54 .
Mayor Verbic: Are most of the patients from this area.
Reverend Volkenhauer: They are from the area that we are
serving in a 17 area township that this location is central
to. It runs south to St . Charles, north to Carpentersville,
out a far as Hampshire and east as far as DesPlaines.
Mayor Verbic: Are you funded by the Lutheran Church.
Reverend Volkenhauer: Yes, but we are funded by a number
of groups. We are funded by the Lutheran Church, by a
number of United Ways, by Townships, foundations, businesses,
fees, and the State of Illinois.
Mayor Verbic: Will you have out-patient facilities.
Reverend Volkenhauer: We do not plan to.
Councilwoman Shales: Do you work with CCADA.
Reverend Volkenhauer: We know them and have talked with
them, at best we have a working relationship.

PETITION 21-85 REQUESTING A REZONING
FROM M-1 LIMITED MANUFACTURING DISTRICT
TO B-4 GENERAL SERVICE DISTRICT, PROPERTY
LOCATED APPROXIMATELY AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF BIG TIMBER ROAD AND NORTH McLEAN
BOULEVARD BY BURNIDGE, CASSELL & ASSOCIATES
Roger Dahlstrom: The property owners propose to develop the
property with a home and building center and various other
commercial uses. The subject property is approximately 15�
acres, of which about 14 acres is developable.
At its regular meeting of May 6 , 1985 , the Land Use Committee
recommended approval of Petition 21-85 , by a vote of 6 yes
and 0 no.
Charles Cassell: the property is located at the intersection
of Big Timber and north McLean Boulevard. The property is
thought to be developed in two phases, defined by an
existing railroad spur, there is approximately 8 acres
east of that line and it is 6 acres to the west , giving
us the 14 acres total.
It is the Siegel family, the owners of the property, intention
to begin the development with the construction of a home and
building center, supported by a storage facility. Shortly
thereafter would be a Burgerking , in addition to this phase
1, it is anticipated as a future development and the timing
is not definite at this point , an additional building of
approximately 18, 000 square feet , which is anticipated to
be a multi-tenant retail facility.
Councilwoman Moylan: Is it Mr. Siegel' s plan to activate
the railroad right away.
Mr. Cassell: At a future date.As the volume of business
dictates.
Councilwoman Moylan: That could be a bad bottle-neck with
another railroad crossing so close.
Mr. Cassell: We have discussed this with the Transportation
Committee of Kane County and as I recall the response from
Mr. Siegel was that when that does become activated it was
a 2 to 3 instances per week that the train would be crossing
there.
I
328 VOLUME L
What we have tried to do is locate our entrances into the
property as remote as we physically could from that location,
it is not a high frequency kind of item. They clearly
have the right to the railroad spur, which is documented in
letters and agreements with Kane County dating back to 1970.

Moylan to approve Petition 21-85 . Yeas: Councilmen

RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Patricia Cook, 977 Illinois: I am here again about the flooding.
I was here two weeks ago and I was told that an engineer was
going to look into the situation and come up with a couple of decisions
or some way that we could correct this flooding without spending
too much money.
During this time I have got a petition. I was told that there
are only 8 houses that flood in that area. Well I got a petition
showing how many houses that flood in this area, and that is not
everybody, that is just a few people that I was able to get to.
Mayor Verbic: I would like to tell you what we have done. We
have authorized going through the Illinois Division of Waterways
in regards to Poplar Creek and we have also addressed the problem
in your area with the Illinois Division of Waterways, which is
the way that we have to proceed. So we are on schedule, moving
ahead, taking one step at a time, we have not forgotten you and
we are addressing the problem.
Councilman Van De Voorde: You are right there are more homes
that flood and I can attest to that too. I would like to ask
Mr. Miller if this levee that is being considered for construction
on Poplar Creek will have any effect on this area.
Mr. Miller: No, it will not .
Councilman Van De Voorde: Then what are we doing.
Robert Malm: I think the discussion last week was that until
we resolve the Poplar Creek Levee matter and proceed with that
project , it would not be an opportune time to begin another one.
The Council last week did direct that project to be resumed. In
fact Gary called the people in the Department of Waterways, he
has a memo here, which explains about the watershed area, about
the flooding, etc. , and that the people from the Department of
Waterways has suggested that a letter be sent from the City
Council, or the Mayor, directing them to look into the situation.
We intend to keep Mrs . Cook informed as to what our progress
is on her request for relief.
