Trustee Corcoran opened the meeting with general remarks and introduced Trustees and staff in attendance.
Corcoran then moved to the resident portion of the meeting.
Dan Harvey (Costco Manager), 999 N. Elmhurst Road: Mr. Harvey provided an update on progress of the
Costco construction. Mr. Harvey stated that the expected date of opening was October 13 with a VIP party
scheduled for October 12. Costco is expected to hire 120 people for the opening.
Lee Williams, 70 N. Albert: Mr. Williams came to CWC to keep abreast of current events in the Village.
Katy and Bert Hanson, 103 Eastwood: The Hanson's came to CWC to provide an update on the ongoing
situation they have with their neighbor involving the painting and repair of cars. The Hanson's had not
reported subsequent incidents of this activity to the police since their first report in 2003. Trustee Corcoran
recommended that they do so as it will be the only way to stop the illegal activities ITom continuing.
John and Nancy Trutwin 20 S. Main and
John and Donna Franczyk, 20 S. Main Street: The Trutwins and the Franczyks are Officers of the
Residences Condo Association. Their concern was the availability of overnight parking for owners and guests.
The condo owners requested overnight parking and relaxation of the 2-hour parking limit for certain public
parking areas adjacent to the condos, including the parking deck. Mr. Janonis stated that no changes would be
made to the parking until a master-parking plan was developed. Mr. J anonis expected the master parking plan
to be completed after 1 year. Trustees Corcoran and Skowron commented and suggested this item be placed
on the agenda for a future Committee of the Whole meeting.
Carol Tortorello, 223 S. Elmhurst Avenue: Ms. Tortorello commented on the Blood Drive and the Block
Party. Ms. Tortorello also spoke on two items in the newspaper. The first was regarding "pocket bikes" and
how they should be included in any ordinance restricting their use within the village (scooter ordinance in
particular). The second item dealt with the new segway transportation vehicle and how they were going to be
regulated.
Margaret Lannen, 999 N. Elmhurst Road: Ms. Lannen provided an update on activities at Randhurst. Her
comments were brief, as Mr. Harvey from Costco had shared information earlier in the meeting regarding
redevelopment at the Mall.
David Schein, 512 NaWaTa Trail: Mr. Schein had several positive comments on the new Village Hall. Mr.
Schein suggested that opportunities be provided the youth for gathering in the Community Center. Mr. Schein
commented on the proposed per diem rates brought to the Village Board at the August Committee of the
Whole meeting. Mr. Schein provided Mr. Janonis per diem rates used by the Federal Government and which
can be accessed by going to the I stgov.gov website.
Nick Honcharuk, Jr., 11 S. Wille Street: Mr. Honcharuk commented on the parking situation at the
Residences development. Mr. Honcharuk was advised of the plans for a master-parking plan for all downtown
village parking and the matter would be looked into further.
Trustee Corcoran thanked everyone for attending and adjourned the meeting at 10:40 a.m.
