really facade rehabilitation and not general maintenance;
what were the guidelines.
City Manager Douthwaite stated that the City does not
have clear guidelines; only a few of these have been
done; this work would result in a better looking
appearance of this building; there have been no other
applicants for these funds this year.
Alderman Brookman stated that perhaps the Staff should
survey the businesses and maybe tailor our guidelines to
fit their needs; we should be concentrating on making the
downtown look as good as possible.
Alderman Becker stated that he feels this comes under
maintenance; he does like the idea of people taking care
of their building.
Alderman Beauvais stated that we should take a look at
the guidelines and if we don't have any, we should table
this until we do.

LEGAL &: LICENSING Alderman Beauvais, Chair
City Attorney Wiltse reviewed his memo of July 10, 2000,
regarding an interest by 7-Eleven Company to locate a
store in the Library Plaza which would involve the sale
of beer and wine in carry-out only; City's current
ordinance does permit beer and wine sales only, but not
for carry-out; a new ordinance is being proposed for the
Tax Increment Financing District and C-5 Central Business
District.
Alderman Becker stated that he is not comfortable with
this; it ie tao alase te efie Lisr ary ~
\ tJ .se~"(' -------;;;;--David Dresner, LR Development (City' s developer for
:"'\ this site) , addressed the Committee of the Whole stating r-0~~f-) that the proposed 7-Eleven store would be over 100 feet
l\ from the Library.
Alderman Sayad stated that he doesn't think it should be
even that close; he agrees with Alderman Becker.
Mr. Dresner stated that the 7-Eleven store is a very
significant tenant for this area; the next door tenant
said they would pull out if the 7-Eleven store's request
is not approved.
Alderman Petersen stated that she is in favor of this
request because it is just in the TIF District; she sees
nothing wrong with this.
Alderman Sayad stated that there is going to be a lot of
young people around there; the temptation to buy liquor
is there.
Mr. Donald Ciszewski, Real Estate Manager for 7-Eleven,
Inc., 1251 N. Plum Grove Road, Suite 170, Schaumburg, IL
60173, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that
they sell many age-restricted products; they do a good
job of this; they card anyone under the age of 27; we
have scanner registers; we feel we are a responsible
retailer; we are only looking to rent 2,500 sq. ft. with
two (2) to three (3) cooler doors, about less than 100 ~

AMENDMENT: Add
"we don't allow this type of store throughout the City

because the developer is scampering around trying to
fill these empty stores."

sq. ft.; he is very disappointed with what he is hearing
from the Committee of the Whole.
Alderman Beauvais stated that she doesn't have a problem
with the liquor license, just that it singles out the C-5
Central Business District; she would like something for
the whole City; she doesn't want to pick and choose; she
would rather have this more uniform.
Alderman Christiansen stated that in the past similar
requests from convenient stores in other parts of the
City have been denied; we should look at this Citywide.
Alderman Elstner stated that he has never heard people
say they want a liquor store downtown.
Moved by Elstner, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that request for an additional category for
liquor license for Beer and Wine Carry-Out Sales Only in
Tax Increment Financing District and C-5 Central Business
District be DENIED; and Ordinance M-35-00 be voided.
Motion declared carried. Alderman Petersen voted no.
ENGINEERING Alderman Elstner, Chair
Director of Engineering Oakley reviewed his memo of July
7, 2000, regarding request for angle parking along Perry
Street between Miner Street and Laurel Avenue in order
to add additional on-street parking spaces; this would
necessitate making Perry Street one-way going east; both
the Staff Traffic Advisory Committee (STAC) and the Fire
Department are opposed to this request.
Alderman Elstner stated that this area is in need of
parking; there is no parking on Laurel Avenue.
Alderman Christiansen stated that angle parking has
worked well in his Ward with a time restriction.
Alderman Becker stated that he sees a need but he is not
willing to see public safety at risk.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that request for angle parking along Perry
Street between Miner Street and Laurel Avenue be TABLED
until September 5, 2000, so that the Staff Traffic
Advisory Committee (STAC) can review all parking in the
area and report back to the Committee of the Whole.
Motion declared carried.
PUBLIC SAFETY Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker reviewed the possibility of offering home
safety light bulbs to residents; when in distress, just
flicking the light switch off and on twice activates the
Emergency Beacon to flash on and off continuously to
alert police, fire or neighbors to a problem; his only
concern is how they would be distributed--they could be
included with the free Home Fire Inspection packet along
with the smoke detectors.
Alderman Becker stated that 3,000 bulbs would cost $5
each and that ensures the City the price of $5 each with
a minimum order of only one (1) case after that.
Alderman Sayad stated that we should get just a minimum
order and test them out with the residents.
Alderman Brookman suggested that the City order 400 bulbs
and pay the increased amount of $12.50.

Fire Chief Farinella stated that they could be available
at City Hall, Fire Department, Police Department, Ward

them available for a break-even price.
Alderman Christiansen stated that there are a lot of
"what if's" in order to make this work.
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Sayad, to recommend
to the City Council that the purchase of home safety
light bulbs (Emergency Beacon) be TABLED until August 7,
2000, and Staff be authorized to review this matter, i.e.
minimum order, cost to residents (if any), distribution.
Motion declared carried.
ACTING MAYOR ARREDIA ASSUMED THE CHAIR AND DECLARED THE

DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
SINGLE FAMILY HOME WITHOUT THE COMPENSATORY STORAGE
GUIDELINES BEING MET AT 1054 S. RIVER ROAD, DES PLAINES
(CASE 00-2-FP).
A discussion followed regarding the potential flooding
as a result of this house being constructed.
Alderman Brookman stated that perhaps the City could buy
this property and it be used as a nursery to grow trees;
leaving it open would help with the flooding problem and
the current owner would not lose his investment.
Alderman Smith stated that he agrees with most of what
Alderman Brookman said except he doesn't feel that we
have an obligation to the homeowner; we shouldn't
purchase land for anyone; the petitioner met all the
conditions but one.
Alderman Petersen stated that the City Council has been
holding this up since January; we should come to a
decision tonight.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to adopt a
substitute motion and recommend to the City Council that
the City purchase the property at 1054 S. River Road and
use it as a tree nursery.
Alderman Christiansen stated that the petitioner should
have checked with an attorney before he bought this
property; the Flood Committee as well as the Staff has
recommended that this request be denied; we should deny
this request and look at all the vacant land.
Upon roll call on the substitute motion, the vote was:
AYES: 3-Beauvais, Sayad, Brookman
NAYS: 5-Christiansen, Elstner, Becker,
Smith, Petersen
