Alderman Murphy asked Mr. Michell if he understands that
even if the City approves having the study done, there
is no guarantee that the City would go forward with the
TIF. Mr. Michell said he understands that.
Alderman Sayad questioned the numbers within the target
population; how can people from that area afford to live
there?; have you had any interest in this project? Mr.
Michell said they have received 500 inquiries.
A general discussion followed on all the financial
aspects, i.e. how will the developer cut costs?, will
they reduce the project?
Moved by Argus, seconded by Christiansen, to concur with
recommendation of the Economic Development Commission and
Community Development Committee, and recommend to the
City Council, to grant request from Faithful Works
LLC/Riviera Retirement Resort, 1050 Oakton Street, Des
Plaines, that Kane, McKenna & Associates, Inc., 150 N.
Wacker Drive, Suite 1600, Chicago, IL 60606, be
authorized to provide a Phase I, Phase II and Phase III
Feasibility Study for a possible TIF District at 1050
Oakton Street, at a cost of $50, 000, to be borne by
Faithful Works LLC/Riviera Retirement Resort.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that this developer has
already spent $12-1/2 million on this project; he is
going to pay for the study.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating we should meet with other
taxing bodies and negotiate with them about their share;
have another meeting; let's negotiate with them.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the petitioner has
said this is not just a Christian community yet they
advertise it as such; this project was unanimously denied
by the Des Plaines Plan Commission and Des Plaines Zoning
Board of Appeals; have they done studies about what this
will do to local retailers?; this project is not working.
Alderman Beauvais stated she will be abstaining on this
matter because she may have a conflict of interest.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Brookman, to POSTPONE until
June 5, 2006, further discussion on this matter until it
was been determined whether Alderman Beauvais needs to
abstain from voting on this matter. MOTION DECLARED
FAILED.
