Redevelopment considerations include low density residential housing, office and/or retail space. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments and Discussion Mayor Wilks opened hearing for public comments and discussion. Mr. David Lindgren, 743 Whitegate Court Mr. Lindgren, Chair of the Economic Development Commission, read a prepared statement from the Commission in support of the proposed amendment. To enhance the viability of the downtown business district the Commission supports the expansion of the TIF boundaries. Several questions specific to the TIF taxing structure were presented for discussion and response by the following residents. Mr. Clayton Berrigan, 740 Creekside Mr. Mel Houlec, 927 Quince Lane Mr. Cooney explained that TIF is an economic tool for the Village to develop the downtown area. It is not a mechanism for the businesses to avoid paying Mr. Cooney explained that TIF is an economic too for the Village to Develop the downtown area. It is not a mechanism for business to avoid paying taxes. In response to the concern that people not in the TIF area are being hurt because of the agreement with other taxing bodies, Mr. Janonis stated that a favorable agreement had been worked out with the other taxing bodies, i.e., school districts, park districts and library. Effective 2008 the Village will pay the affected taxing bodies from the TI F fund; payment will be close to 100% of what they would have received if TIF no longer existed. Mr. Janonis also pointed out that the TIF extension allows the Village to make infrastructure repairs that benefit the entire community. Mayor Wilks encouraged Mr. Houlec to contact the Village Manager regarding use of local tax dollars. Mr. Janonis added that the Village's annual audit is a publiC record and available for review. The following residents expressed support for the redevelopment of the downtown area including boundary expansion, but encouraged the Village Board to consider and be sensitive to what is already there as part of decision making process for new development. Suggested land usage included a grocery store and a park. Ms. Donna Franczk, 20 South Pine Ms. Geralyn May, 5 West Central Mr. Greg Ivaska, 11 North Wille Trustee Hoefert stated the Village Board also supports residential friendly development. The need for additional and convenient parking for residents and customers were voiced by several residents. The following residents also offered constructive comments for improving the parking conditions. Ms. Helene Cord, 11 South Wille Ms. Peggy O'Connor, 40 East Northwest Highway Ms. Donna Franczyk, 20 South Pine Mr. Janonis stated additional community education efforts and signage to promote public use of the parking deck located between Village Hall and the Library will be initiated. Mr. Peter Loeschke, 101 South Elm Street Mr. Loeschke questioned why these areas were not included in the original TIF district and if the area will be extended south of the railroad tracks. Mr. Cooney responded that initially the Village believed these two properties would develop themselves. Central Plaza has not developed and the Chase building has aged. Mayor Wilks stated that unlike other communities the Village has been judicious in focusing on the development of one (1) TIF district. Mr. Janonis stated there has been no discussion for TIF redevelopment on the other side of the tracks. Mr. Michael Karkowski, 105 South Maple Street Mr. Karkowski stated his home is in the original TIF boundaries established in 1985; does the Village have future plans for the residential area. Mr. Janonis stated the residential area was included in the original boundaries but never considered for redevelopment. Ms. Betty Lall, 220 South School Ms. Lall also expressed concern about future plans for the Village Commons. Mr. Janonis stated the 1987 development of Village Commons was the Village's first TIF "success story" and there are no plans for change in this area. Mayor Wilks thanked all the residents for their comments and then opened discussion and comments to the Village Board. Trustee Skowron presented a comprehensive review of the Village's TIF District beginning with its 1985 inception. Since that time TIF has proven to be a good economic tool in revitalizing the downtown area. And, although development was slowed by a weak economy in the 1990's, the TIF movement has been revitalized. Realizing there was little time left to complete the downtown redevelopment the Village Board made the decision to extend the TIF period and seek expansion of the boundaries. Recognizing the impact the extension would have on other taxing bodies, especially the school districts the Village Board asked the school districts to partner with them in the extension. A successful partnership that ultimately has minimized the impact of the redistribution of taxes. Trustee Skowron stated the Village Board has strong expectations of how the downtown should look. The Village Board is very sensitive to what is being built in residential areas and encourages resident input. She identified several actions the Village Board has initiated for successful revitalization of the downtown area: · Private enterprise development · Retail consultant · Staff guidelines and expectations · Residents identifying downtown "destinations" Trustee Skowron stated that suggestions for "destination" locations from residents have been very helpful; the Village Board also knows what they don't want. She added that the Village Board is very sensitive to what is being built in resident areas and how buildings fit in. Trustee Skowron concluded by asking for the community to work with the Village in the redevelopment of the TIF District. Before closing the Public Hearing Mayor Wilks asked for any final comments. The following residents questioned whether there was adequate drainage for the various project areas. Mr. Melvin Fisher, 100 South William Street Mr. Ullrich, 319 South Pine Street Mr. Janonis stated adequate drainage is a high priority when considering development.
