Golf Rd. & William Petitioner's Request: To construc:t new building to house his present garden supply business. Present Zoning: R-i, with non-conforming use, due to recent involuntary annexation. Zoning Board of ~.~als. Regommendation: The Zoning Board voted 5-1 to allow petitioner to con- struct planned building (approximately 35' x 105') provided: 1.

July 6, 19~ Trustee Bergen read the following Judiciary Committee report: Subject: Petition for Annexation; Arthur and Emma 51nneman, et al. Location of P~operty: 15 ac~es west of Linneman Road Linneman south of Golf Road. Annexation Judiciary Committee Recommendation: Based on the Village T~easurer's feasibility report of June 29, 1965, the Committee recommends (3-0) that said land be annexed to the Village and~ that the Village Attorney be di- rected to prepare the required ordinances. Trustee Bergen, seconded by Trustee Colfer, moved that the Village Attorney be directed to prepare the required annexa- tion ordinance. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Colfer Ekren Grittani Teichert Motion carried. Trustee Bergen ~ead the following report in regard to above submitted by James C. King, Finance Director. RE: LINNEMANN'S ANNEXATION The Village's total expenditures for the year ended April 30, 1965 were as follows: General Fund $ 759,047 Garbage Fund 115,713 Street and Bridge Fund 170,095 General Obligation Bond & Interest Fund 60,312 Public Benefit Fund 9,194 Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund 17,359 Police Pension Fund 21,605 Firemen's Pension Fund 11,409 Library Fund 67~659 $1,232,373 Based upon an estimated $0,000 population, it costs $41.00 per capita to furnish the Village services with the exception of wa~er and sewer. Examinationof 5innemann's request for annexation shows he intends to build fifteen homes. The Real Estate Tan calculation for these hc~es is based upon each having an equal- ized assessed valuation of $15,000.00 for tax purposes. The total assessed valuation of 18 homes x $15,000.00 assessed valuation for each would produce a. total assessed valuation of $225,000. $225,000 assessed valuation x the Village tax rated of .5280 will produce $1,188.00 in Real Estate Taxes for the Village. Using ~he 1960 census which showed an average of 3.87 persons per home in Mount Prospect multiplied by 15 homes would give us a ~otal of 58 people occupying these homes. Taking the cost per capita and multiplying by the 58 persons gives us a total cost of $2,378.00 to service these homes. The cost of $2878.00 less the estimate amount to be received in taxes of $1188.00, leaves a deficit of $1190.00 for the area from real estate ta~es. When the average sales tax per person of $13.60 x 58 - $789.00 is considered this leaves a deficit of S401.00. July 6, 1965 After the above analysis, it is my belief that this annexation would produce a small deficit to the Village. This is not unusual because, without the commercial and industrial taxes~ no community in!llinois could be self supporting. __ Trustee Bergen read tet~er'fromthe Plan Commission Plat of dedication enclosing plat of dedication fo~'the west side of Emerson Emerson St. between Street between Lonnquist Blvd. and Weller Creek.

Dear Mn. Appleby: I am returning herewith, without action, two copies each of an Arterial Street Designation Resolution and an Improvement Resolution, designated Section 22-CS, which were submitted with Letter re above your;!etter of June 7, 1965. Div. of Hwys. This office cannot take favorable action on the A~terial Street Designation Resolution, inasmuch as Kenilworth Avenue does not meet the requirements for an arterial stree~ designation. It is only a half width street from Central Ave. to Thayer Ave. and dead-ends north of Thayer Avenue. It is our recommendation that the proposed work under Sec. 22-C$ be done as a non-arterial street improvement~ sinQ~ the Village in accordance with the MFT allotments may expend approximately $75~000 for that purpose. If you are in agreement with our recommendation~ please revise the improvement resolution and resubmit it to this office for processing. -- Very truly yours, , C. A.

The pumps a~ Wells 3, 5 and 8 are set at 800 ft. and a~ Wells 6 and 7 at 850 ft. and we foresee no problem with them. The pump at Well ~4, however, is set at 700 ft. and at one time the Lowering water level dropped to 698 feet. This is too close to the pump We~l #4 pump and it was throttled down and production cut from 630 gpm ro 580 gpm. The pump should be lowered 100 ft. to an 800 ft. setting. This will provide enough water over the pump to avoid breaking suction. The lowering should be done as quickly as possible so the best efficiency of the well will be available for any more hot~ dry spells during which water demand is at its peak. ~ copy of J. P. Miller Artesian Well Company's proposal is attached. The estimated total for the work is $4,000. Trustee Teichert, seconded by Trustee Grittani, moved that the pump at Well #4 be lowered 100 ft. authorizing J. P. Miller Artesian Well Company to do the work.

The following memo was read: To: Board of T~ustees From: Village Manager Re: Chlorinator for Well #8 (HatlenHeights) Date: June 30, 1965 Chlorinator for Well #8 On June 25th trouble was experienced with the Porter (Hatlen H~.) Fisher Chlorinator at Well #8. We were unable to get the Com- pany's representative here until the morning of June 29th. At this time he told Mr. Creamer it would cost between two and three hundred dollars to repair the chlorinator. This is the only chlorinator of this make in our system - all the others have been replaced with Capitol chlorinators, which cos~ $600 new, July 6, 1965 Because of the emergency nature of getting this Chlorinator piece of equipment into operation, we contacted President Well #8 contd. Congreve and he concurred with our thinking that we would be better off to buy a new chlorinator rather than repair the old one. We have had no trouble with the Capitol equipment in the approximately two years it has been used. If trouble should arise, the repair service is excellent and the entire unit can he taken out, replaced with another unit and the faulty one sent in for rebuilding. The Capitol chl(r~inator was ordered. The action taken, since it involves more than $500, should be confirmed by the Village Board a~ the next meeting.
