PRE -ANNEXATION HEARING
Oakton and Elmhurst
Mayor Behrel called the Public Hearing before the corporate
authorities of the City of Des Plaines on a proposed written
pre -annexation agreement between the City of Des Plaines and
the National Bank of Austin, not individually, but as a trustee
under Trust Agreement dated April 1, 1968 and known as Trust
Number 4515, and Ralph Reinert (hereinafter referred to as
"owners") at 7:45 P.M. in the City Council Chambers. The
Deputy Clerk read the Legal Notice as published. City Attorney
DiLeonardi explained the Annexation Agreement point -by -point.
Aldermen Thomas and Shillington questioned the height of a 45 -foot
sign. Mr. Donald M. Rose, Attorney, representing the owners,
answered that the franchise called for a sign this large. After
considerable discussion between the Aldermen and Mr. Rose, who
consulted with his client, the height of the sign was changed
to 35 feet, on the agreement in Paragraph 5. Alderman Michaels
asked where the sign was being located. Mr. Rose advised it
would front on Elmhurst Road. Alderman Bolek.asked for protection
of the Liquor License to make sure it would be constructed as
promised. Upon recommendation of the. City Attorney preceding
Paragraph 4 of the agreement, the following phrase was added,
"Provided that the owners develop the subject property for motel,
resturant and cocktail lounge purposes." Paragraph 7 regarding
public sidewalks was eliminated from the Agreement after the
aldermen questioned it and the Building Commissioner asserted
it was not to our Building Code.
Alderman Prickett questioned Paragraph 8 pertaining to sanitary
sewers, water mains and storm sewers. After discussion between
Mr. Rose and City Engineer Fletcher, the Aldermen, Mayor Behrel
and City Attorney DiLeonardi, Paragraph 8 was changed to read
as•f ollows: "The owners shall be responsible for causing con-
struction of sanitary sewers, water mains and storm sewers in
sizes sufficient to service the subject property only, when
developed to its maximum permitted uses, and the property lying
between the subject property and the present City terminus
when developed to the maximum permitted uses of such intervening
property, as determined by the City Engineer. The owners shall not
be required to oversize any utilities for the purpose of servicing
other property. That the water and sewer lines extended from their
present terminus in the City of Des Plaines to the subject property
by the owners will not be tapped, connected to, or utilized by any
property owner fronting on said extended utility lines, unless
and until the owner of the benefited property intervening as afore-
said pays to the Owners or their assignees the proportionate share
of the actual cost of said improvements to be determined by the
per cent of feet fronting on the improvement the connecting property
bears to the total lineal footage of improvements installed.
(Example: Owners install 1000 feet of water line at a cost of
$10,000.00. The benefited property connecting to the water line
has a frontage on the water line of 100 feet. The cost to the
connecting property would be $1000.00.) No permit for connection
to said improvements shall be issued by the City unless the
applicants submits evidence of payment of its proportionate share
of the cost to the Owners, their successors or assigns."

cluded at 8:30 P.M.
