MINUTES
CLOSED SESSION
MAY 4,1999
The meeting was convened at 10:03 p.m. Present were: Mayor Gerald Farley; Trustees
Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Richard Lohrstorfer, Daniel Nocchi, Michaele Skowron
and Irvana Wilks. Staff present included: Village Manager Michael Janonis, Assistant
Village Manager David Strahl and Community Development Director William Cooney.
Land Acquisition
Community Development Director Cooney provided a general overview of the
preliminary plan for public parking behind the Busse Avenue businesses to
accommodate 18 spaces as part of the Redevelopment Project. He stated the plan
provides for employee parking for the Busse Avenue businesses and should address
the overall-parking situation on Busse Avenue. He stated that there have been some
discussions with Tod Curtis through the respective attorneys regarding the acquisition of
the rear portion of his building.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support filing of a Condemnation Suit for
the back portion of the Tod Curtis building to accommodate the parking lot and
the development under consideration.
Fannie May
Mr. Cooney stated that staff has approached Fannie May about considering exchanging
the Fannie May property for the White Hen property. He stated research has shown
that the Village cannot go after prior owners but the tanks have been removed even
though the soil removes.
Village Manager Janonis stated that the Village may ultimately have to incur the cost if
no agreement is reached to ensure the reuse of the property.
Mr. Cooney stated that Fannie May may look for assistance in the future at the White
Hen site if no soil is disturbed as part of the redevelopment and can move into the White
Hen today but not diminish the redevelopment possibilities in the future. Fannie May
may consider going after the previous station owners to help mitigate the cost of clean
up.
117 South Main Street
Mr. Janonis stated that the owners have not responded and have been ordered to Court
to respond.
Mr. Janonis stated that he is planning to request a Closed Session prior to the regular
Board meeting on May 18 to discuss litigation.
Closed Session adjourned at 10:17 p.m.
Respectfully submitted, (()
