addressed the following issues in response to neighborhood concerns:

• Signs will be posted indicating where the additional parking will be located.
• Public announcements will be made during the games that all in attendance be
courteous neighbors and any illegally parked vehicle will be ticketed and towed.
• Traffic control concerns are being addressed with the Elgin Police Department
and the applicant is working with the department to develop a traffic control plan.
• The Booster Club is hiring a traffic detail from the Elgin Police Department for
both traffic and crowd control.

be patrolling the streets in the immediate area for trash towards the end of any

following a Friday evening game to pickup any stray trash that is to be found and
letters will be sent out to neighbors requesting permission to pickup trash on their

children to play on the field during the summer months or possibly converting an unused
portion into a tot lot for the younger kids. Mr. Solaric stated that the summer months are
the field restoration period where they fertilize, seed and water the field in preparation of
the next season. He stated that the unused portion that Councilmember Walters is

make that happen in the future.
Councilmember Kaptain stated that he has communicated with the neighborhood association in
the area which has brought to light a number of issues and obligations that both the City and St.
Edwards should be responsible for. He suggested talking with the neighborhood and establishing
a zone around the field that St. Edwards will be responsible for clean-up duties, as well as
establishing definite no parking zones around neighbors driveways and anyone parking in these
areas will be ticketed and towed if they are blocking driveways. He recommended that St.
Edwards hire one or two officers to direct traffic and provide ticketing for illegally parked
vehicles.
Mayor Schock read a portion of the public hearing transcript. Mayor Schock stated that this is
not an issue about lights, but it is an issue of trust. The neighborhood wants to know that the
promises St. Edwards makes are going to be kept and are not just empty words, and that this is a
commitment from the entire St. Edwards community for the long-term.

catch basin spacing between straight runs of pipe shall be limited to a

year and the probability of the post-development release rate exceeding 0.04
cfs/acre of development shall be less than fifty percent (50%) per year. Design
runoff volumes shall be calculated using event hydrograph methods. The
