Mayor VanDeVoorde called the meeting to order at 6 : 33 p.m.
Members present : Councilmen Fox, Moylan, Popple, Shales ,
Walters and Mayor VanDeVoorde. Councilman Gilliam arrived
at 7 :00 p.m. Absent : None.
Consideration of a redevelopment proposal for the Dundee Tax
Increment Financing District .
Megan Boyle and Tim Gallagher, representing Coldwell Banker
Commercial Real Estate Services , reviewed with the Council
a site plan and feasibility study for a neighborhood shopping
center to be located at the southwest corner of Summit Street
and Dundee Avenue.
Ms . Boyle stated their research indicates a vacancy factor
in the Elgin market place at approximately 11 persent . This
as compared to 9 .6 percent for the entire Chicago metro area
even though the number appears higher which is much less as
compared to Schaumburg which has a 18% vacancy rate as well
as the national average which is also 18 percent .
Given the high profile of the subject property and location
it is anticipated that an immediate and high demand would
be created by a shopping center built at Illinois Routes 25
and 58. Therefore , a project size of approximately 70,000
square feet could be easily absorbed within a twelve month
lease-up period.
Three catagories of tenants would comprise the tenant mix
of the proposed development . They are: National retail chains ,
regional retail chains and local tenants .
Projects of this type and size are fully leased within twelve
months after completion of construction. We are usually able
to lease 50%-60% of space in the preleasing period. The preleasing
period includes the time of tinal government approvals up
to the completion of the property. After completion, the project
should be 100% occupied within a twelve month period.
New retailers typically do not lease space in the fall, but
rather prefer to see new store openings in the Spring. Other
considerations , of course , include the future direction of
the national economy, which again today, is very conducive
to new shopping center development .
The Elgin market is currently understored to serve the potential
demand by national and local retail chains who want to capture
more of the buying power in the Elgin population.

This market condition factor as it applies to the subject
property indicates that the timing over the next twelve to
twenty-four month period should be a favorable time frame
to lease a shopping center development at this intersection.
The City Manager stated the redevelopment agreement negotiated
between the City and Capital Ventures allows the City to qualify
for tax exempt bonds to corporations based upon proposed changes
in tax laws have been resolved.
Robert Driscoll, representing Capital Ventures , reviewed the
proposed site plan with the Council.
Mayor VanDeVoorde noted the proposed concept does not provide
space for a gas station.
Councilman Fox asked what the letter from Amoco Oil to Capital
related.
Mr. Driscoll stated it reflected a willingness to cooperate
and an indication they are open to various alternatives .
Councilwoman Popple asked if there was a strong possibility
that a grocery store would be located on the proposed site.
Mr. Driscoll stated they do not have any commitment at this
time, but they do have interested parties .
Councilman Walters asked if there are any people interested
in the site right now.
Mr. Driscoll stated there is a nigh degree of interest in
this location.
Mayor VanDeVoorde asked if this project would be brought to
a public hearing.
Roger Dahlstrom stated the current zoning is B-1 and B-3 and
this present zoning may preclude any zoning changes , requiring
a public hearing.
Councilwoman Shales stated if the site plan is approved, what
i he next step.
.t p
Mr.Driscoll stated that condemnation of the property would
commence on the part of the City.
Staff recommended that the City:
1. Enter into the proposed redevelopment agreement with Capital
Ventures .
2 . Select Norene and Associates as Financial Consultants ,
and pursue Option II regarding the bond issue.

4 . In order to expedite the processing of property appraisals
and any litigation that may occur as a result of any condemnation
proceeding, staff should be authorized to enter into a contract
for outside legal services .
Councilman Walters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Shales to approve the staff' s recommendation, subject to the
subject agreement setting out the maximum and minimum square
footage construction footage. Yeas : Councilmen Fox, Gilliam,
Moylan, Popple, Shales , Walters and Mayor VanDeVoorde. Nays :
None.
Consideration of a proposed agreement from VandenBergh Foods
( Shedds ) for the demolition and development of the Woodruff
& Edwards property.
Wayne Van Wart , representing Shedd's Food Products , reviewed
with the Council a proposal for development of the foundry
property. Said proposal provided the following objectives :
1. Replace current cooler capacity at the syntex and leased
space locations into one large cooler.
2 . Relocation of the current cooler location's in the existing
facility to the new structure will allow dry storage capacity
in syntex to more to the existing building.
3 . Relocate shipping and receiving docks to a Northern side
of the proposed structure.
4 . Consolidate all truck movements/parking/staging onto one
central site to eliminate wasted shuttle time.
5 . Sell unnecessary properties .
Mr. Van Wart described the following existing facility changes :
Relocation of shipping/receiving docks and the new finished
product cooler location will require several substantial changes
to the existing building.
Current dock bay needs to be filled in.
Finished product conveyor needs to be extended
into the new cooler
All storage racks must be moved

Mr. Van Wart stated they have submitted the facts and numbers
and are prepared to spend the money, and he would be happy
to answer any questions .
Councilwoman Popple: When this property was for sale, were
you approached to buy it , before the City got involved in
it .
Mr. Van Wart : I came to Elgin in October, 1988 , there had
already been over a year of conversations discussing the economics
of the situtaion. The time from our standpoint did not make
it a viable alternative.
We came in December to bring up the issue on a formal basis ,
to demonstrate that yes we did have a desire for it , to try
and get all the members together and to try and bring it to
a head to see if we could come to a consensus as to how we
could use it . As I understand it the Company has been involved
for over two years.
Councilman Walters : This area is one that is under a lot
of scrutiny by the Fox River Task Force, there is a recommendation
from the Task Force which will be brought up later. I would
not ask this question if I did'nt think I had at least four
votes behind it . Do you have a fallback position that takes
away some of that request that you have, this is the same
request that we had six months ago, in terms of feet , and
there is a lot of public scruitny taking place. Do you have
a fallback position that perhaps does not include the service
Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989
Page 6
center and some of the parking area.
Mr. Van Wart : Again, as depicted, this would be our objective,
but there is some room for negotiations . A 50/50 split in
terms of total feet would not allow the northerly dock concept
to work, if we did not have that space it would not be viable.
We could mitigate the parking if it had to be.
Councilman Walters : Does the service center have to be there
from your viewpoint . I have problems with that facility at
that location. Is the service center negotiable. How much parking
is needed.
Mr. Van Wart : We would need facilities to handle at least
22 of our trailers , which would be about 300 feet .
Mayor VanDeVoorde: Then we could negotiate to eliminate 50
feet for 6 trailers , plus the area needed for the service
center,if we came to that accommodation. How many total fee
is that .
Jim Cook: Its about 210 reduction, or about 780 feet .
Mayor VanDeVoorde: The recommendation from the City Manager
is to continue discussions .
Mr.Van Wart: We share the same opinion. We would like to
move along with speed and hammer these issues out. We do
not see any legal problem, the language may change.
Mayor VanDeVoorde: A question to the planners , would this
require a public hearing.
Roger Dahlstrom: I believe the use would be covered under
the general manufacturing and would not require the hearing.
Councilman Fox: You mentioned as a bare minimum you need
22 parking spaces , I would like to know how you arrived at
that . If we went along with the new loading dock and the cooler
you have added from the original six bays , that you have right
now, you have added eight new ones , plus the one inset , so
now you have nine instead of six.
Mr. Van Wart : First of all we generally have six bays with
three across the street, or a total of nine. In terms of total
operation there is no net gain.
Councilman Fox: What I am getting at is the three that are
across the street you don' t need anymore, because you have
nine places to back up the trucks , where now you only have
six.
Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989
Page 7
Why do you need 22 spaces if the service area is going to
be on Willard, could you reduce that to 6 or 8 parking spaces ,
plus 9 dock trucks , that would give you 15 trucks on site
right there.
.Mr. Van Wart : We need to have the where with all to have
the trailer physically there to keep working, employees on
the site must continue to fill trucks .
John Langum, speaking on behalf of the Fox River Task Force:
The Fox River is one of Elgin' s greatest assets . We have
before us the opportunity of demonstrating our appreciation
of the Fox River and utilizing it property for the public
good of all our citizens . I submit the following proposal:
1. Acquire and demolish the old Woodruff & Edwards foundry
and create on the site a beautiful park.
2 . Accommodate Shedd's and solve a traffic problem on State
Street by allowing them to purchase a minimum amount , say
200 feet of the foundry site at the south end for reorienting
their shipping docks , so their trucks can drive in, load or
unload, and drive out , without the necessity of backing into
the street from the shipping docks .
3 . Use a portion of the northern end of the foundry site to
widen State Street for more traffic lanes at Lawrence/Kimball
and also provide for more lanes at the entrance to the Kimball
Bridge.
The park, linear and passive in nature, would, of course,
be carefully planned and property landscapted. An expanse
of greenery about 1,200 feet lone would itself add to natural
beauty and quality of life in Elgin.
Visual access and close proximity to the river, the greenery
of the park, the trees along the embankment , and Walton Island,
and the vistas to be seen on the other side of the river could
provide an exciting and much needed new image for Elgin.
Mayor VanDeVoorde: We have not been standing still. We have
acquired great lengths of the river. We have spend about one-
half million dollars on a bike path. We have some land up
on the northend that is presently in the wild stage and our
police is and has been for some time to acquire available
river land when it become available, that still is our policy.
I just don ' t want you to think, or anyone listening to you
speak, that we have been sitting on our duffs doing nothing.
We have acquired great sections of the property along the
Fox River. If you could magically move that railroad track
five miles west of Elgin, then I think probably we could even
extend this project .
Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989

Councilwoman Shales : Is moving Shedd' s out a part of your
recommendation.
John Langum: No, that is not part of the recommendation being
made. I quoted from the report of the Downtown Business Plan
a recommendation to move both Shedd's and the Foundry. That
is not a recommendation of my own, it is not the recommendation
of the Task Force. Shedd' s needs help as do the people driving
along State Street , but there is no recommendation tonight ,
in any manner, to ask Shedd's to leave. It is to make the
bulk of the Woodruff & Edwards property a park and provide
about 200 feet to take care of the truck problems , that is
to the benefit of Shedd' s and to the people driving along
State Street .
Councilman Fox: You say 200 feet in here and then you saw
the presentation that was made this evening. According to
this you are saying that 200 feet for orienting the shipping
docks for the trucks to come in, load up, and drive out.
According the numbers given by Shedd they would need 482 to
do that , that includes 220 feet for the loading area in turning
the trucks around, and 257 for the new cooler.
John Langum: My figure of about 200 feet comes from two ways .
First of all, the document submitted by Shedd ' s last January
had P rovision for two items relating to the movement of trucks .
One was for 50 feet and the other 190 feet . When I have walked
up and down the pavement in front of the foundry, about 200
feet should accomplish that and that is consistent with Shedd' s
own statement .
Ed Schock, 355 Jefferson: In response to Shedd' s presentation,
I think the drawings and photo' s and pictures you see are
as far from reality as you can possibly get . It will be impossible
to see the river or Walton Island from State Street if they
are allowed to proceed with their plan. We are talking about
a concentration of intense use for the site than the one Shedd's
is proposing.
If this land were currently vacant and this proposal was coming
before you as a request to construct this facility, and I
believe that is how you should do it , because when Woodruff
& Edwards is demolished that land will be vacant , and the
real question before the Council is should we allow the construction
of the facility you saw tonight on that vacant property, and
would you allow it is they were a virgin petitioner coming
before you.
I think the real question confronting Elginites and this Council
is the question of our values . We have done a lot of talking
about the Fox River, we have done some acting, but the fact
of the matter still remains that by any objective standard
Elgin trails other communities in what it has done to the
river.
Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989
Page 9
If you think that what you will end up with on that site is
what you saw in those drawings , you are out of contact with
reality.
James Didier, 420 Hazel Drive: I have been assured that the
foremost reports have been circulated in advance of the Council
meeting so I assume that you have read that report from the
Task Force. Extensive a park, if possible, in your negotiations .
We have all agreed and Shedd' s has agreed, for economic reasons
and for community relations reasons , and all of us agree,
that it is an absolute must , if at all possible , to eliminate
the risk, inconvenience and the problems with manuvering trucks
on State Street. That is essentially the position taken by
the Fox River Task Force.
Citizen: The City is growing and if you do not allow the
business section to grow, if you stifle them, it will die
and move away. If you don' t have that business coming in
on Route 31, you can expand the road to allow trucks and cars
to get through -- to where, suddenly there is nothing on 31
to stop for, they will turn on Kimball and get out
Kimball has one of the most dangerous corners in the City,
you are going to risk your life just to get to a park. Can we
allow this .
Pat Reese, 203 Washburn: We are asking for a passive park
to enhance the image of our City. In my view a little expansion
of that facility may be necessary, maybe for ten years . In
my view, until they have the time to find a place to move
to the west of town. I think what the City should be doing
is working with Shedd's to solve a temporary problem and work
with Shedd's to relocate west of town.
Ed Kinnen, 26 N. Union: It would be to Shedd' s advantage
to move five, ten miles west of here and they could get lower
wages . The effort that we put to bring in new businesses ,
and the pride that we take in our City, and I love this town,
but to sit there and tell a business that they cannot expand
and that we want to take the area that they want to use and
turn it into another park is beyond my comprehension.
Greg Castelvecci, 1380 Getzelman: If this is open land, if
it is a park, what kind of people are going to be there.
I work in the Tower Building downtown and every morning when
I come to work there are vagrants laying against the building.
Are those vagrants going to go over to this open area, or
will the City police that area to make it accessible to the
average citizens of Elgin, and not be afraid to go down there.
Councilman Fox: In listening to the discussions and reading
all the documents we received it seems to come down to a question
of degree, its not should we or should we not .
Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989
Page 10
Nobody wants to kick Shedd' s out , I think that was made clear
tonight , the Fox River Task Force has supported their recommendation
that Shedd' s be given some land to reorient the docks , its
a question of how much is some. That is where we are at , I
don' t think it is a question of all or nothing at this point .
If it were up to me I know what I would give. I think everyone
of us sitting up here would say here is the magic number.
Earlier, before the Council meeting, there were some negotiations ,
there were some compromises , tonight for the first time I
have read, seen or heard anything about the new inlet parking
dock. I am concerned a little bit about that in terms of
what that does to the trucks and parking.
If we are talking 200 or 300 feet out of 1450 feet difference
between what the Task Force says and what Shedd' s is willing
to come to, and we can solve the problem of those loading
docks on Route 31, I think that may be a worthwhile compromise.
There are 70 ,000 people in this town, and a good number of
them are affected by the trucks that are backing up. Shedd' s
recognizes that , everybody in this town recognizes that and
I think that is something that we need to deal with, that
is solving a major problem.
On the other hand, you have the Task Force and the City, and
the values that were spoken of, and a riverfront that probably
everybody in this room wants to make open, if you can make
it open, as open as possible, but as possible, and that is
where you come into this middle ground.
I don' t want to make a motion particularly, because I don' t
think I want to say 400 feet or 800 feet , or a specific number
and hold everybody to it . I think what Shedd 's proposal asks
for is too much, but I am willing to follow the Task Force
recommendations and give them something, whatever that something
is , so that we can eliminate the problem on 31, and improve
the quality of life in this town, and that is what it is all
about .
I would like to see the staff negotiate with Shedd ' s , understanding
that the Task Force recommendation was to reorient their coolers
and reorient their truck docks . According to the numbers ,
the accrual was 257 feet and the loading area was 225 feet ,
I think that was the number that Dr. Langum referred to. So
we are talking 482 feet , and then you get into the parking
area. Speaking for myself, I don' t believe we need parking
area. We are cleaning out a lot of truck parking areas on
South Grove, I don ' t think we should put them on North State.

Committee of the Whole Meeting
August 14 , 1989
Page 11
I am willing to accommodate Shedd ' s and accommodate the City
at the same time.
Councilwoman Moylan: I think we have lived with ugliness
and inconvenience for a long time, and I think this is a unique
opportunity to reach a balance, to reach a compromise, to
reach a solution that will bring beauty to the riverfront
and safety and accommodation to a good company here, and so
I will make a motion to have staff negotiate with Shedd' s on
the property split , removal of the service facility, and a
reduction in the parking spaces .
Councilwoman Shales : Second.
Councilwoman Shales : I am not interested in leaving a crippled
Shedd' s on that project . If we cannot accommodate them to
the point where they need to expand their business . I don' t
want them moving out of that property and selling it to someone
else , who could use it just as it is . I either want them
to be allowed to expand so that they have a viable business ,
or else, I would like to see us , the City of Elgin, assist
them in moving to another location.
Councilman Gilliam: I think it is best for us to have Shedd' s
come back with a proposal that we can accept , reject , or modify,
that is all we are saying. They can bring a proposal back,
we can look at it , if you don' t like the number of feet , you
can make that motion to cut it down, but if we sit here tonight
everybody has from given Shedd's nothing to giving them everything
and we will never get an agreement .
Councilwoman Popple: I can support the motion to negotiate ,
and as Bob says to see it again, but I don' t want to feel
committed to support whatever comes back.
Mayor VanDeVoorde: If you are ready for the question, will
the Clerk call the roll.
Yeas : Councilmen Gilliam, Moylan, Popple, Shales , Walters

Consideration of a proposed Request for Proposal for the South
Grove Tax Increment Finance area.
The City Manager stated the Council directed staff to prepare
an RFP for the South Grove area and to advertise for projects .
The proposed RFP incorporates the specific direction given
by the Council regarding mixed use projects , quality development ,
public access to the river and sensitivity to the shore and
existing bike/pedestrian trail.

Consideration of the market study report and recommendations
for proceeding with the Area K Tax Increment Financing District .
Dick Starr, Vice President of Economics Research Associates
reviewed a detailed market study and assessment of Area K
with the Council.
Mr. Starr stated a substantial office inventory is now available
in the Schaumburg/Northwest corridor office market . There
is now in place about a 5-6 year supply of vacant space, given
most recent absorption trends . In addition, another 18-plus
million square feet of space is planned. While not all this
space will be built , a portion will be added, and the completion
of new projects will only further increase the amount of unoccupied
space. This softness to the far west office market does two
things . It gives businesses looking for space in the area
a large number of options , and some leverage in negotiating
deals for rents and concessions . It also alerts the development
community that the market is overbuilt and new proposals or
prospects should be postponed.
The subject study offered the following approaches :
1. Meet with Elgin-based companies to determine potential
users among the local business community.
2 . Prepare marketing materials or brochures that describe
the site , its environs and city position in the sale.
3 . Provide developers and prokers the marketing package and
promote a development at the site through efforts by the Local
Development Corporation.
Staff advised the Council that although actively pursuing
and alternate site, Safety-Kleen remains interested in the
Area K site.
Staff recommended proceeding with further actions toward implementation
of the Area K Redevelopment Plan. Specifically, these actions
would include: securing the services of a qualified bond
counsel, designating a public hearing body, conduting the
required public hearings , and considering a final plan.
Councilwoman Shales made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Walters to appoint the Planning Committee as the public hearing
body.
