ZONING CASE Mr. Jay Eigel, Central Properties, Inc., 640 Pearson
95 -53 -A Street, Suite 101, Des Plaines, representing Woolworth,
915 LEE: addressed the City Council regarding their request for
a Map Amendment to change the present zoning district
from C -2 General Commercial to R -5 Central Core Multiple
Family Residential.
The Des Plaines Zoning Board of Appeals made no
recommendation on this matter. The Staff, however,
recommends that this request be denied based on several
factors, i.e. impact on adjacent properties,
compatibility with zoning in the area and, most
importantly, it would conflict with the adopted land use
plan of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. William Davis, 900 Center Street, addressed the City
Council stating the current zoning is proper; other
people are interested in that property, i.e. Immanual
Lutheran Church, Des Plaines Library (later in the
meeting Mayor Sherwood read a note from Susan Burrows,
member of the Des Plaines Library Board, strongly stating
that the Des Plaines Library never did, nor never would,
have any interest in that property).
Mr. Robert Jones, 900 Center Street, addressed the City
Council stating that he has mixed emotions about this
request; would like to see condos there but is fearful
of the concept; would not want to look onto a brick wall
or into someone's bedroom; Immanual Lutheran Church is
interested in the property as an extension of their
school or office space.
Mr. Vernon Johnson, 900 Center Street, addressed the City
Council stating that there would be too much traffic; it
is difficult now getting out onto Thacker Street.
Mr. Eigel asked if it would be better to look out onto
condos than a Pizza Hut, which would be a permitted use
of that property.
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Arredia, to concur
with Staff recommendation and recommend to the City
Council re Zoning Case 95 -53 -A that request for Map
Amendment to change the present zoning district from C -2
General Commercial to R -5 Central Core Multiple Family
Residential on property located at 915 Lee Street be
denied. Motion declared carried. Alderman Curley
abstained (conflict of interest). Alderman Elstner voted
no. Final action on this matter under Unfinished
Business on November 6, 1995.

FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION - Alderman Christiansen, Chair
PROPOSALS/ Moved by Arredia, seconded by Higgason, to concur with
PROPERTY & Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
CRIME to accept proposal from Arkwright Mutual Insurance
INSURANCE: Company, with Hobb's Group, 425 N. Martingale Road, Suite
1200, Schaumburg, IL 60173, serving as the broker, to
provide comprehensive Property and Crime & Fidelity
Insurance for the period beginning November 1, 1995 and
ending October 31, 1998, at a cost of $31,593 per year
for $25,000 in deductible. Motion declared carried.
GAMING TAX Mayor Sherwood stated that he will be attending a meeting
REVENUE of the Northwest Municipal Conference on Monday, October
SHARING 30, 1995, where he will cast a vote on whether Des
PROGRAM/ Plaines is or is not in favor of Northwest Municipal
NWMC: Conference's involvement in the Village of Rosemont's
proposal for sharing gaming tax revenue. The proposal
provides that the Village of Rosemont will turn over
eighty percent (80 %) of its revenues to the West Central
Municipal Conference within sixty (60) days after it is
received by the Village. The WCMC will coordinate the
distribution of these revenues to particpating towns
within the Northwest Municipal Conference and the South
Suburban Mayors and Managers Association.
Alderman Beauvais stated that she supports receiving this
revenue; the City will be directly impacted by this
gaming facility, i.e. increased traffic, additional
police coverage; we will have to absorb all the
additional costs; we should not turn down any revenue.
Alderman Christiansen stated that he can see where some
communities would be in favor of this; we would be a fool
to turn our backs on this money; Rosemont has cost Des
Plaines thousands and thousands of dollars; he would vote
yes, but would like to see a fairer distribution of the
funds.
Alderman Elstner stated that the distribution of funds
is not fair to Des Plaines.
Alderman Higgason stated she agreed; there should be
better distribution of the funds.
Alderman Curley reminded the aldermen that the citizens
of Des Plaines voted against casino gaming; we should
have a State -wide referendum on whether the people of
Illinois want gambling or not; we should have a realistic
view of the damage it does to cities and families; send
a resounding no to the Northwest Municipal Conference and
to the State legislators.
Alderman Sarlo stated that some of the communities who
want this don't have the traffic problems from Rosemont
that we have; our taxpayers have to pay for the street
repairs.
Alderman Chiropolos stated that he has mixed emotions;
the citizens voted down gambling; what happens if Des
Plaines votes no - are we out the money? Mayor Sherwood
stated that we can still receive the money, but we must
apply for it. Alderman Chiropolos stated that our vote
should be contingent upon getting a bigger piece of the
pie.
Alderman Arredia stated that we have to be realistic; if
we have to provide extra police protection and additional
road repairs, we have to have a way to pay; we should ask
for the money and then hope the State -wide referendum
doesn't pass.

Mr. Jim Blue, 1771 Sherwood Road, addressed the City
Council stated he shared the aldermen's concern about the
impact this gambling facility would have on Des Plaines;
urged the aldermen to work toward a State -wide referendum
before any new licenses are issued.
Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the City
Council stating that the people of Des Plaines voted on
this issue and the answer was a resounding no; Don
Stevens wants you to lobby for him in Springfield; have
a State -wide referendum; please have Mayor Sherwood take
this message to the Northwest Municipal Conference.
Mr. Rolf Meyer, 427 Radcliffe Avenue, addressed the City
Council stating that we should not be part of gambling;
it's not worth it; it's going to cost more in the long
run.
Motion by Curley that the Mayor be authorized to vote
against the Northwest Municipal Conference's
participation in the Rosemont Gaming Tax Revenue Sharing
Program and ask the NWMC to ask for a State -wide
referendum on whether there should be gambling in
Illinois, died for lack of a second.
Mr. Don Meseth, 2128 Fox Lane, addressed the City Council
stating that while he is personally not in favor of
gambling, he hopes Rosemont receives the license so we
can get the money.
Motion by Christiansen that the Mayor be authorized to
vote against the Northwest Municipal Conference's
participation in the Rosemont Gaming Tax Revenue Sharing
Program based on the present distribution of funds, died
for lack of a second.
Moved by Chiropolos, seconded by Curley, to recommend to
the City Council that the Mayor be authorized to vote
against the Northwest Municipal Conference's
participation in the Rosemont Gaming Tax Revenue Sharing
Program and, if the opportunity presents itself, advise
the Conference that the City Council believes the revenue
sharing formula to be unfair and those municipalities
most adversely affected by the gaming facility should
receive a substantially larger share and, additionally,
the City Council believes that before any additional
licenses are issued, there should be a State -wide
referendum as to whether the people want gambling in
Illinois. Motion declared carried (final action under
Consent Agenda on November 6, 1995).
