MINUTES
COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
Saturday February 17, 1988
Trustees Room, Village Hall
10:00 A.M.
The monthly Coffee With Council was convened at 10:00 a.m. In attendance were: Trustee
George VanGeem, Plan Commission Chairman Don Weibel, Village Manager John F.
Dixon, Planning and. Zoning Director David M. Clements and Mr. Joe Rhode of 317 North
Wille. Mayor Gerald Farley and Trustee Ralph Arthur arrived at 10:30.
Mr. Rhode discussed his concerns about the new home being constructed at 315 North
Wille. He indicated a concern about storrnwater run-off during construction, as grading has
not been done and gutters are not yet installed on the new house.
After discussion, Mr. Rhode agreed the railroad ties could be placed on the lot line as a
temporary measure, to prohibit overland flow. He also agreed that railroad ties could be
used at the foundation, as a planter.
Mr. Dixon noted that he believed railroad ties could be placed on the lot line if the ground
was not frozen, and stated, perhaps gutters could be installed on this side of the house as
soon as possible~
Persons in attendance generally discussed surface drainage, and noted that proper
engineering was more important than aesthetics.
Mr. Rhode asked about the possibility of a restrictive covenant at 315 North Wille that
might prohibit changing; any grades, direction of downspouts or sump pump discharge.
Mr. Dixon indicated that such a covenant might be possible, but that it needs to be part of
a total package for presentation to that property owner.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m.
