UDOn roll call: Aves: Bruhl Busse BerEen Zoning Case Trustee Bergen read letter of direction from the 64-36 Zoning Board to the Superintendent of Building as follows: November 7, 196~ Dear Sir: Re: Zoning Case 64-$6 - Danco Builders, Inc. 1012 Greenfield Lane, Mount P~os~ect At the regular hearing of the Zoning Board of Appeals, held October 30, 1964, the above petitioner's quest was heard. This was a request for a 17-foot setback on Memory Lane side lot line instead of the required 20-foot setback (a variation of 3 feet or a less-than-2$% variation case) 6n a lot on the southwest corner of Memory Lane and Fairview. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4 to i to deny the requested variation. The Board therefore directsyou to withhold a build- ing permit at the above-named location for the planned struc- ture until the zoning ordinances applicable have been adhered to correctly. Yours very truly, E. F. Martin, Chairman ~. M. Ross, Acting Secretary Trustee Bergen informed the Board that Building Supt. Pecoraro was in favor of allowing this variation; his reasons are given as follows: 1. The lot is substandard in size, only 49.17 ft. wide as com- pared to our present 75-ft. corner lot. 2. Five of the six homes built on corner lots on the block east and on the block west and across the s~eet of the proposed house have a set-back 'of 17-feet or less. A variation will not change the character of the neighborhood. 3. The granting of a ~variation wit*l not set a precedent as there is only one more ~9.17-foot corner lot left in that imme- diate area. : Trustee Bergen explained that he felt that allowing over-sized houses on the smaller corner lots would set a precedent, as there are a number of similar corner lots in the Village. Trustee Bergen, seconded by Trustee Casterline, moved to deny Mr. Daniels his request for side lot line variation as directed by the Zoning Board. This motion carried by acclamation.

Newman~ each to an undivided one-half interest. "The power to direct trustee to deal with the title is in both beneficiaries."

December 8, 1964' Trustae Phillips explained that the engineering Water Future Supply fi~m of Greeley & Hansen had tendered their water survey report me long range water supply up to the year 2000 A.D.~ (also see DAMP) that ow present well supply will be all right for two more years as is, but with the dropping of the artesian water level a new source of water supply is neoessary~ and securing of water from Chicago~ therefore, is recommended. This would be integrated with our present source of supply~ with a rec- ommended phasing out of well rehabilitation as it becomes necessary. It is estimated that our present well supply would not be economically feasible to operate by 1974, and complete phasing out of this source of supply would be accomplished by that time. T~ustee Phillips~ seconded by T~ustee Busse, moved that the policy of the Board shall be to secure Chicago water, as opposed to the expansion of our prasent well system~ that this policy is in the best interests of the health and welfare of the commun- ity. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ek~en Casterline Phillips Motion ca~ried. Trustee Phillips, seconded by Trustee Busse, moved that the Board authorize a continued study by Greeley g Hansen at rates heretofore customarily set by them for work to be done to determine the method by which Chicago water may be secured for the Village, and for said company to report periodically.

Trustee Phillips, seconded by Trustee Bruhl, moved that Articles of Agreement be acc9pted by the Board, accompanied by a check for $12,500 as payment A of the total sum of $32,500 for the year January l, 1965 to January l, 1966. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ekren Casterline Phillips Motion carried. Tnustee Phillips, seconded by Trustee Casterline, Well 5 moved to approve of repairs to Well 5 as shown in letter from ? J.P. Miller ~rtesian Well Company dated November 27, 1964. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ekren Casterline Phillips Motion carried. This letter is sat forth herein as follows: December 8, 1964 ell 5 November 27, 1964 Attention: Mr. Harold Appleby Subject: Well #5 A short test was conducted November 25 to determine, if pos- ~-~ sible, the actual pump capacity of the above subject well. We found that with #5 only operating, after a two hour pump- ing test, we were getting 960 GPM with a 627 ft. pumping level, and 37 ft. discharge head. At this time the cumrent was 358-356-362 amps; Full load amps for this motor are 373. The indications are that the bowl is absorbing practically full load horsepower, however, the capacity at the surface indicates that about 295 to 300 HP should be required. We believe then that there is a considerable quantity of water being moved by the bowl assembly, but not being delivered tO the surface tank. This may be due to a hole in the column, or in the bowl assembly, or some other such trouble. We believe that the pump should be removed, the bowl rebushed to bring it back to its original efficiency, any repairs made as required, an~ the pump reinstalled in the well. With the pump again operating as originally installed, we should expect a capacity at this time of about 1250 to 1300 GPM. From the test we believe that the well is delivering about the same specific capacity as when we checked it in 1962. You will recall that at this time we did considerable work on the well, installed a liner through the St. Peter sandstone, shot and cleaned it out. We bailed the Sand from the well to a total depth of 1822 ft. before we installed the pump at that time. We believe it would be well to check the depth of the well at this time, and should there be an appreciable amount of sand accumulated in the producing zone of the well, we recommend it should be removed. Your cost'for labor required to pull and reinstall the pump would be according to the following schedule: Labor: 3 men, tools and equipment, regular time, per hour $28.50 Each additional man, regular time, per hour 8.50 Overtime, additional, per man, per hour 4.25 Trucking: Pickup, per mile .20 Flat bed, per mile ~ .35 Semi-trailer, per mile .50 Crane Rental: · Estimated cost '$500.00 Rig Time: : 2 men, regular time, per hour $ 20.00 The co~st for machine work and material to rebush the bowl would be $995.00. If a new impeller shaft is required~ this cost will be $193.00. Any bowl parts required for replacement, of course, would be in addition to the above prices. December 8, 1964 he u~it costs for column pa~ts Would be as follows: Well 5 10" x 10' column pipe, coated, each $142.00 3" x 5' oil tube, each 23.00 3" x 1-15/16" brass bearing, each 14.50 1 - 15/16" x 10' shaft, each 41.20 1 - 15/16" shaft coupling, each 6.60 Taping tube, each foot .90 Based on our conclusions from the test we do not believe any engineering changes would be requimed at this time. We be- lieve with the present bowl rebuilt to near original efficiency, with the cleaning of the well, if required, and repairing ap- parent damage to the lower portion of the pump, that 1200 to 1300 GPM will again be produced. We trust that this gives you the info~mation you require at this time. Very t~uly yours, J. P. Miller Artesian Well Company R. C. Schlaack, Vice President Engineer Ben Hemmeter advised the Board that it would Water be advantageous to make a permanent connection between the Connectlons water mains of Citizen's Utility and those of the Village, both Citizens in case of fire and in case of breakdown of Citizen's supply, as Utility he felt the Village owed a responsibility'to residents living in the Brickman Manor section of the Village. Trustee Phillips pointed OUt that this would also help the fire insurance rates. The total cost of such a connection would come to about $2000, to be shared jointly. T~ustee Phillips, seconded by T~ustee Busse, moved to set up a temporary water connection with Citizen's Utility Com- pany along Kensington Road for use at this time; authorizing the Village to enter into an agreement with Citizen's Utility to make this connection a permanent one when feasible. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ekren Casterline Phillips Motion carried. Trustee Phillip% seconded by T~ustee Casterline, moved Fire Station to approve Change Order #3 for construction of Fire Station on Golf Road; this gives better water service into the building. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ekren Casterline Phillips Motion carried. T~ustee Ekren read letter from the Chairman of the Zoning Zoning Board, Eugene Martin, asking for extension of time spent on revision of B-zoned properties to February 15th. T~ustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee B~uhl, moved to grant this extension, and this motion was carried by acclamation. Trustee Casterline, seconded by Trustee Bergen, moved Green Acmes to accept sidewalks and pavement in Green Acres Subdivision, Sub Units 1 and 2, as these items have been approved by Consoer, December 8, 1965 Townsend and the Village EngineeP.
