COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
TRUSTEES' ROOM VILLAGE HALL
JULY 11, 1992
The Coffee with Council meeting of July 11th, was chaired by
Trustee Irvana K. Wilks. Also in attendance were Trustee Paul
Hoefert, Village Manager Michael E. Janonis and Fire Chief Edward
M. Cavello.
Visiting with council members was Patrick Creen of 1015 Church St,
telephone 956-1518, Mr. Creen's chief complaint referred to
Linneman Road; specifically the potholes and general disrepair in
this section of the road north of Dempster.
Mr. Janonis explained that the Village does not have control of
the streets. In this area, the homeowners property line extends
out to the centerline of the road. Mr. Janonis further explained
that this situation has existed for quite some time and the
project represents a significant cost factor. Trustee Wilks asked
Mr. Janonis to check with Public Works Director, Herb Weeks to
determine if anything can be done.
Mr. Green also questioned the lack of median strip access to Na-Wa-
Ta from Golf Road. It was explained that quite likely this was
done intentionally to limit vehicular traffic in a residential
area and that it was probably a blessing. Mr. Creen was also
informed that Golf Road is a state route and they have
jurisdiction.
Finally, Mr. Creen offered his comments on the Hooters Restaurant
issue. He felt that the people ought to decide whether a business
will be successful. He likened the situation to the Big Kahuna
Restaurant in Arlington Heights. He stated that he would not
patronize Hooters, but thought individuals should have that
option. He stated he does not see the establishment as a problem
even though Hooters is not a family restaurant.
The meeting was concluded at noon.
