MAYOR ARREDIA DECLARED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WAS NOW
RESOLVED INTO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Alderman Becker, Chair
Assistant City Manager-EDC Director Schneider reviewed
his memo of September 26, 2002, regarding a request fr om
a potential developer for incentives for the purchase of
the "Sandoz" building located at 1300 Touhy Avenue; they
are asking for 75% reduction in permit fees, a cap on the
telecommunications tax and a 6b resolution so they can
apply to Cook County for a property tax assessment
reduction.
Both Aldermen Murphy and Sayad stated that they would
like to know what kind of business would occupy this
building; this doesn't sound like a good deal for the
City, especially the cap on the telecommunications tax .
Alderman Brookman stated that it would seem wrong to put
a car dealership on that property; it is beautiful; it
should be put to the very best possible use.
Mr. Gary Janko and Mr. Chris Noon, Quadrangle Development
Company, 2121 Waukegan Road, Bannockburn, IL 60015,
addressed the Committee of the Whole and answered
questions from the aldermen.
Alderman Becker expressed his concern that the City is
being asked for incentives but we have no idea of the
company that will be coming in.

The petitioners stated that they could wait for a
decision on the permit fees and the telecommunications
tax, but they do need approval for the 6B classification;
it is important to them that the City allow them to
proceed with this project.
Alderman Smith stated that he doesn't have a problem with
approving the 6b classification; we have done this
before; it is a reasonable request; he would like to know
who the potential tenant would be; it would not be fair
to cap the telecommunications tax on one business and not
another.
Alderman Argus stated that we need to know their master
plan; who will their tenant be?
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that this is going to
affect us greatly; we need to know what they are going to
do.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Beauvais, to recommend to
the City Council to TABLE the proposed business
development agreement incentives, i.e. cap on
telecommunications tax, waiver of permit fees, 6b
classification for potential developer of property

Alderman Murphy voted no.
Aldermen Beauvais and Brookman expressed their opposition
to this request; there is a potential problem with the
width of the street; there is also some dispute as to
whether Trailside Lane is a dedicated street.
Speaking against this request were:
Mrs. Irene Serwa, 1011 Crabtree Lane
Mrs. Linda Kiscellus, 324 Bellaire Avenue
Mr. Aaron Baker, 495 Bellaire Avenue
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road
Mr. George Brooks, 454 Lyman Avenue
Mrs. Gale Kuffel, 2251 University Avenue
An attorney representing Rick and Barbara Redella, 475
Trailside Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole
stating that it is clear that Trailside Lane is not a
public dedicated road; he disputes City Attorney Wiltse's
opinion in his memo of October 2, 2002, that it is; the
Redel las have maintained this street; this is deeded
property that belongs to the residents on Trailside Lane.

program, service and levels of service reductions.
LEGAL & LICENSING -Alderman Smith, Chair

businesses; he suggests that the investigations be

information would not be subject to Freedom of
Information Act requests.
