Alderman Charewicz presented the Warrant Register for consideration.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated September 13, 2018.
The petitioners, David & Bozena Eck, are requesting a Final Plat of Subdivision,
under Section 13-2-1 of Subdivision Regulations of the Des Plaines City Code,
to subdivide the eastern 25' of the property at 1674-1700 Woodland Avenue for
access to the property at 1710 Woodland Avenue.
The City of Des Plaines has acquired 1710 Woodland Avenue through the FEMA
Hazard Mitigation Buyout Program. The program allows homeowners to
voluntarily sell their homes that are in the floodway and regularly flood to FEMA,
who then deeds the properties over to the City. The structures are then
demolished, and the lots must remain open space in perpetuity and can never be
re -developed.
In order to access and maintain 1710 Woodland Avenue, as well as the vacant
parcel to the north of 1710 Woodland Avenue, the City has agreed with the
property owner of 1674-1700 Woodland Avenue to subdivide the eastern 25'.
This access will also allow for maintenance of the existing driveway to
1720 Woodland Avenue. The subdivided parcel will be donated to the City at no
cost per the agreement with the current property owner.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (7-0) that the City Council
approve the Final Plat of Subdivision.
Staff recommended approval of the requested Final Plat of Subdivision for 1674-
1700 and 1710 Woodland Avenue.

PUBLIC WORKS — Alderman Smith, Chair
At the July 16, 2018 City Council Meeting, a presentation was given to the Public
Works Committee by Kevin Clark of the Lakota Group, Inc on concepts for new
Gateway Signs. The City Council requested additional drawings of two of the
concepts to include both landscaping and lighting renderings. Additionally, the
Council asked for pictures of similar signs that were designed by Lakota Group.
Mr. Clark presented revisions to the two design proposals for the new signs at
gateway locations.
The consensus was to approve Option 1 with the etched logo and add Des Plaines
over the media message board.
Once a design concept is determined, the designs and locations will need to be
approved through the permitting process by the appropriate jurisdictions that
include IDOT, Cook County Highway Department, Union Pacific Railroad, and
MWRD. Permitting must be approved before moving forward with construction
documents and the bidding process.
