COMMUNICATIONS
Recognition of Officer Paul Mc.Curtain who was selected as
a nominee for the Kane County 1985 Police Officer of the
Year.
Deputy Chief Heine: Each year the Batavia Moose Lodge, in
conjunction with the Kane County Chiefs of Police Association,
meets to select a policeman of the year for Kane County.
Each Department in Kane County that feels that it has members
worthy of recognition and worthy of receiving that award
will make nominations .
This year I am sorry to say that our nominee, Detective,
Senior Patrolman McCurtain was not selected, as the Kane
County Policeman of the Year. A Sergeant from the Geneva
Police Department , who had saved a young man's life received
759 VOLUME L
that honor.
We feel in our Department that our Nominee is certainly worthy
of the nomination and a very outstanding example of Elgin's
finest officers.
I would like to bring Detective Senior Patrolman Paul McCurtain
forward and introduce him to the City Council and I would
like to reinact the presentation of the certificate to Detective
McCurtain indicating that he is in fact a nominee for the
award and that he is to be commended for his outstanding
achievement in law enforcement .
Councilman Waters: I would just make a quick comment that
it was the pleasure of my wife and myself to attend this
affair and to not be selected the Policeman of the Year was
no loss of honor, no loss of status at all. I was very impressed
with the credentials of all who were nominated and it was
a very proud opportunity for me to be there on behalf of
the Council, knowing that our nominee was among that caliber
of officer.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED FOURTH
AMENDMENT TO ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF ELGIN AND
VALLEY CREEK OF ELGIN
Roger Dahlstrom: Before you as item H ( 1) in your Agenda
Packet is a memorandum dated August 9, 1985 from the Engineering
Division and the Planning Department . Per your request some
months ago we attempted to draft a memo that would outline
at least some alternatives to the question of contribution
by Valley Creek of Elgin to the Tyler Creek Detention Facility
costs.
The original annexation agreement calculated a figure of
somewhat in excess of a quarter of a million dollars accepted
as the amount of providing detention of storm water on site
at Valley Creek, and the City and Valley Creek agreed that
amount would be acceptable as equivalent to those development
costs and subsequently entered into an agreeement that provided
for those costs to be paid. As you can see in the memo there
are a number of amendments along the line that have extended
various due dates. A portion of the funds, a little over
$41, 000 have been paid, per the annexation agreement , then
we have an amount somewhat in excess of $213 , 000 that remains
as the unpaid balance.
Storm water detention for development is a standard requirement ,
it is a cost that is commonly borne by developers, simply
because it is a necessity. Those costs in this instance
are being distributed differently than they usually are ,
they are not being provided on an on going fashion as development
occurs in Valley Creek, but rather its provided for as part
of their participation in the Tyler Creek Detention Facility
plan.
The thought that we tried to express in the memo is that
there are a number of ways that you can consider three or
four basic factors. One is, there is an ultimate amount
to be paid at some point . It might vary over time depending
upon your alternatives, but at some point obviously there
will be a total amount due and paid. The date can be varied,
the date at which these funds or some portion thereof, depending
upon the formula used for payment , would be due. Those dates
have been extended in the past, some of these proposals incorporated,
extension of those dates again.
761 VOLUME L
Others suggest that perhaps the extension to a specific date
may no longer be appropriate inasmuch we are approximately
7 years into the project with approximately 16% of it developed,
and -those alternatives then address a percentage of completion
and a final amount due.
We have presented four alternatives, certainly they are not
the only alternatives, they are four alternatives that attempt
to protect the City to some extent in the cost inflation
of the Tyler Creek Detention project .
Robert Malm: I think the one alternative that could address
both parties needs would be Alternative IV in that as you
see from the summary this approach would diminish the cash-
flow concerns the developer may have. In other words instead
of even paying what their double per acre charge is this
is even less than that, except that those future payments
would be adjusted by the Engineering News Record Index which
all other developers who are part of this area would also
have. So it would seem that it would help the developer
cash flow problems which they indicated that they would not
be not be willing to pay interest on because of that , and
also even scale back their per acre charge from what they
had initially recommended, but it does protect the City at
the top end somewhat .
The major disadvantage of Alternative IV even though it is
a compromise between the City and the City' s concerns, and
the developer concerns is that the City would have to come
up with greater up front money to build the Tyler Creek Detention
program. Now, that may not be as much as problem as it could
be because as you know Tyler Creek is in the Build Illinois
Program, and is funded for $500, 000. Now whether or not
that stays in the Build Illinois Program is of course subject
to debate, and it may not stay there, but I believe from
the staff's standpoint if there is a compromise, which meets
the needs it would probably be Alternative IV. They have
already rejected the simple interest payment which the Council
had suggested and so I would presume they would reject the
double compounding interest.
This does not really leave a lot of alternatives even though
there were four, I think that two of them really have been
rejected by the developer, leaving Alternative I, which is
basically the developer's request to amend the Agreement ,
and Alternative IV which would have their payments be adjusted
by the Engineering News Record, but also give the Council
some protection at the top end.

VOLUME L 762
Councilman Van De Voorde: Some other facts which I believe
are also pertinent , I believe the City has already expended
a lot of money in the procurement of land for this and that
has to be stated too. The other thing is the original agreement
is up and due right now.
Robert Malm: That is correct the $213 ,000 I believe was
due December 31, 1984 .
Councilman Waters: Bob, are you suggesting --- the original
contribution of $254 ,-000 was based upon ' their prorata of
the cost of developing a facility themselves in a floodplain,
am I correct .
Roger Dahlstrom: My understanding is it was based upon the
actual cost of constructing on site detentions for development .
Councilman Waters: So it was not really a prorata of our
cost of developing a project , it was their cost of the detention
center on their site.
Robert Malm: Then I believe it was reduced by 15%. It was
based on a on-site detention at that particular time and
then that was reduced 15% so that the developer would receive
some benefit .
Councilman Waters: I was under the impression then that
you were suggesting that any future developers that would
come in who would be the beneficiary of this program their
costs would be inflated by this construction cost index number
not a base figure.
I
Robert Malm: Yes, it is right now.
Gary Miller: When we first started out with the Valley Creek
Annexation Agreement we developed the cost estimates for
detention in Valley Creek. We then used that as a basis
to set up a formula which will be used and has been used
as other properties beyond the Valley Creek project come
in and develop. For example, the Burnidge Big Timber Park,
Shady Grove, Spring Oaks project , so Valley Creek more or
less started the ball rolling and we used that to develop
the overall formula to apply to other projects and developments.
Those costs are updated utilizing this Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index, which we have presented as an option.
Mayor Pro Tem Moylan: Are there any representatives of Valley
Creek who would care to speak. (No response)
Councilwoman Shales made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Gilliam to close the Public Hearing. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen,

PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION 44-85 REQUESTING
ANNEXATION B-3 SERVICE BUSINESS DISTRICT
ZONING AND A B-3 SERVICE BUSINESS DISTRICT
SPECIAL USE FOR A AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION,
PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
STATE ROUTE 31 AND AIRPORT ROAD BY ROBERT H.
AND DONALD C. MILLER
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioner has proposed to continue
the present use of the property as a restaurant and an automobile
filling station. The subject property is approximately 2
acres and is improved with a restaurant , automobile service
station and related off-street parking.
At its regular meeting of September 5, 1985 the Land Use
Committee recommended the approval of Petition 44-85, subject
to the additional conditions, by a vote of 6 yes and 0 no.
The additional conditions included those related to a special
use, and that is simply that a special uses be granted to
the existing automobile service station and compliance with
all applicable codes and ordinances. In addition to that
two of the other conditions relate to the annexation provisions,
and specifically revisions to the annexation agreement per
the Engineering Division, Legal Department and Planning Department ,
and compliance with the terms and conditions of the revised
annexation agreement .
The letter which I have just provided you with explains staff' s
most recent thinking regarding the revisions to the annexation
agreement and compliance with various conditions, and I will
try to review them very quickly.
1. Regarding Paragraph 2 , on page 4 , specify that annexation
plat preparation fees and all county recording fees are to
be paid by the owners.
2 . RegardingParagraph 4 . on page 5, delete the first phrase
( from The City agrees—through. . .Elgin Sanitary District ) ,
the referenced sewer and water lines are already in place.
Specify that the referenced watermain is a 12 inch watermain
and that the sanitary sewer line is an 8 inch sanitary sewer
line. The amount of the watermain reimbursement is $552.88.
Submit , reference, and attach a preliminary utility plan.
VOLUME L 764
Specifiy that the owners shall connect to sewer and water
within 180 days of the date of the execution of the annexation
agreement .
3 . Regarding Paragraph 5. on page 5 , delete and insert at
the end of the agreement .
4 . Regarding Paragraph 11, on page 7, specify that the agreement
m be amended from time to time in a manner provided b
may p y
law.
5. Regarding Paragraph 12 , on page 7, delete due to impracticality.
6. Incorporate appropriate language into the annexation
agreement regarding all proposed points of access to the
subject property and submit , reference and attach an appropriate
exhibit. The Engineering Division and the Planning Department
support the access plan entitled Alternate Access to Elgin
Watch Works Restaurant Parcel prepared by Burnidge and Westphal,
Inc. as revised by Burnidge, Cassell and Associates, dated
April 24 , 1985 .
7 . This recommendation provides for the subject property' s
eventual compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
Subject to the direction of the City Council, the terms and
conditions of compliance would be negotiated and then incorporated
into the annexation agreement prior to execution. The following
items should be considered:
a. Termination of the truck transfer depot use.
b. Compliance with community graphics ordinance.
C. Removal of all gravel areas or improve such gravel areas
to the requirements of the parking lot ordinance.
d. Compliance with building, fire and health codes.
8. Disclose the beneficiaries of all referenced trusts.
9. Revise all applicable dates.
Attorney Kevin McCarthy, representing the purchasers of the
restaurant and the Millers stated his clients concurrence
with the foregoing.
Attorney Richard Husted, who also represents the Millers
stated he wanted the Council aware of the fact that the Millers
had not received any payments from the developer and he was
ready to go into court and foreclose on the mortgage. If
such foreclosure took place the Millers would ask for possession
of the subject premises.

PETITION 45-85 REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO
SECTION 2 , PARAGRAPHS B,C,D,H AND S OF
ORDINANCE NO. G19-81 GRANTING A SPECIAL
USE FOR THE TEMORARY MINING OF SAND AND
GRAVEL IN CONJUNCTION WITH SITE PREPARATION
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC RECREATIONAL
OPEN SPACE, PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE
ELGIN STATE HOSPITAL PARK SITE BY THE CITY
OF ELGIN
Roger Dahlstrom: A petition was filed by the City to amend
portions of Ordinance G19-81 granting a special use for the
temporary mining of sand and gravel in conjunction with site
preparation for the development of public recreational open
space.
Recently the City and the Giertz Melahn Asphalt Company successfully
negotiated an agreement to begin the temporary mining of
the park site. The proposed amendment reflects some of the
terms of that agreement which vary from the terms and the
conditions of the original ordinance.
The Planning Department recommends approval of Petition 45-
85 . At its regular meeting of August 19, 1985, the Land
Use Committee recommended the denial of Petition 45-85
On a motion to recommend approval of Petition 45-85 the vote
was 2 yes and 4 no.
Dan Blondin, Assistant Corporation Counsel: The requested
amendments include a change in the phasing of the development
whereby Area F would be mined first and the State Hospital
has concurred in this respect ; an amendment should be made
o reflect that the City is no longer using the Dunn Geoscience
plans and instead are using plans prepared by William E.
Coates and Associates; an amendment to reflect that screening
and burming would not be constructed until the mining is
within 1000 feet of the Burnham Mill development property
line; and that that the hours of mining operation shall be
between the hours of six a.m, and seven p.m. , from Monday
through Saturday. Provided that mining within 1000 feet
of any dwelling unit of the Burnham Mill development shall
be permitted only between the hours of eight a.m. and five-
thirty p.m. from Monday through Friday.
That hours of loading and hauling shall be between the hours
of six a.m, and seven p.m. from Monday through Saturday,
and no operations shall be conducted on Sunday.
VOLUME L 766
Attorney Heimburg stated that he represented Burnham Mill
and they hoped that the mining operation would be followed
by the development of the properties with the royalties being
used to provide a park. Attorney Heimburg also asked that
a 30 day notice be given to the Burnham Mill Management before
the mining operation commences.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Shales to approve Petition 45-85 and to have staff include
Attorney Heimburg' s suggestions in the proposed ordinance
amendment . Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Shales,
Van De Voorde, Waters and Mayor Pro Tem Moylan. Nays: None.
