MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS
HELD IN THE ELEANOR ROHRBACH MEMORIAL COUNCIL
CHAMBERS, DES PLAINES CIVIC CENTER, MONDAY,
JULY 20, 1998
CALL TO ORDER: The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Des
Plaines, Illinois, was called to order by Mayor Paul W.
Jung at 7:00 p.m. in the Eleanor Rohrbach Memorial Council
Chambers, Des Plaines Civic Center on Monday, July 20,
1998.

Heavey, Police Chief Sturlini, Director of Public Works Shirley, City
Engineer Oakley, Director of Community Development D'Onofrio, Director
of Human Resources & Services Merriman, Assistant City Attorney Bartel,
and City Attorney Wiltse.
PRAYER AND The opening prayer was given by City Clerk McAllister,
PLEDGE: followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
CITIZEN Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the City
PARTICIPA.: Council stating we should not forget why we recently
celebrated the 4th of July; many countries do not have
the rights we have, i.e. citizens passing petitions;
maybe everyone doesn't appreciate what they are trying
to do, but they are exercising a freedom we all enjoy.
Mr. Adam Labycz, 2734 Craig Drive, addressed the City
Council regarding the availability of space for he and
his friends to skateboard; the skateboard park at the
YMCA is great but it is closed when they get home from
work; businesses won't let them use their property
because they are afraid of being sued if someone gets
hurt; there is an easy solution --the City Council should
declare skateboarding a hazardous recreational activity
and then the businesses cannot be sued; the police run
us off school property because they think we will get
hurt; all we need is a large area; there would be no
liability if skateboarding is declared a hazardous
recreational activity.
CONSENT

by the resident. Mayor Jung stated that the information

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - Alderman Sarlo, Chair
FINAL PLAT/ Director of Community Development D'Onofrio reviewed his
MAPLEWOOD memo of July 15, 1998, regarding the request for Final
CHASE Plat approval for the Maplewood Chase Subdivision, Touhy
SUBDIVISION: Avenue and Maple Street, and approval of four (4)
subdivision regulation variations, i.e. lot depths, lot
widths, allow no connections to existing streets, allow
a cul-de-sac at least 970' long instead of the maximum
permitted length of 600'. Mr. D'Onofrio stated that the
Des Plaines Plan Commission has recommended approval of
the Final Plat and the variations.
Mr. Michael Didier, 1467 Oakwood Avenue, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating his opposition to this
subdivision plan, the City should follow the
Comprehensive Plan; this development will preclude any
commercial development on Touhy Avenue; why is the City
changing the zoning now; commercial development along
Touhy Avenue will help pay for many of the City's
projects; you are doing a great disservice to the City.
The owner of the property at 1757 Touhy Avenue addressed
the Committee of the Whole stating his opposition to this
subdivision plan; the Comprehensive Plan calls for
commercial development on that property; there as been
no push by the City for commercial development in that
area; he urged the City Council to follow the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 836 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the adjacent property
owners should have been notified by mail so they could
have attended all the meetings held on this matter; this
would cut down on confusion.
Moved by Arredia, seconded by Elstner, to concur with
recommendation of the Des Plaines Plan Commission and
Staff and recommend to the City Council approval of Final
Plat for Maplewood Chase Subdivision, Touhy Avenue and
Maple Street, and approval of subdivision variations: to
allow Lots 5, 6, 8, 9, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 and
27 to each have an average lot depth of less than the

24, 25 and 26 to each have a width as narrow as 37' --on
the cord (building line), instead of the required 55';
allow no connection to the existing streets (Greenleaf
and Estes Avenues); and to allow a cul-de-sac at least
970' long instead of the maximum permitted length of
600'. Motion declared carried.
Mayor Jung assumed the chair and declared the City
Council back in session.
