Land Acquisition
DLK Architect Fred Sickler, WB Olson Representatives Dave Olson and Dan Polfus were invited into
the meeting.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl provided general information and introduction regarding the study
that was coordinated by DLK and addressing the opportunities for the Village purchase and
redevelopment of the Bank One property. The redevelopment would focus on utilizing the building
for the Village Hall and Senior Center purposes and what the options are regarding the parking deck
construction on the existing surface lot area.
General parameters that had been highlighted in the report showed that acquisition of the site was
substantially more expensive when the additional costs regarding the rehabilitation of the site and
the necessary effort to bring the structure up to Code.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
It appears as if some of the positives of the building are outweighed by the costs and the Village
should consider new construction. Based on the information provided, it does not appear as if there
is enough savings to consider purchase of the Bank One building for Village purposes.
