Discussion was held between members of the Board and some
homeowners from the south side of West Central Road regarding their fence permit
fence permits. (See minutes .of 6-2-59 and 7-7-59). One new home- W. Central Rd.
owner wished to put in a fence in accord with those of his neighbors.
Residents living on the north side of Central Road are requesting that
shrubbery be planted along the fence next to Central Road to act as a
screen across the back lots of those residences, which face on Busse Avenue.
It' was the contention of this group that the subdivider, Town Development
Co. (We Go Park) had agreed verbally to put in screen plantings along that
line but had not done so. The Board of Trustees decided that they would
speak to Town Development Co.
Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Gaw, thereupon moved that Mr.. Quentin
Sharp of~ 1204 West. Busse Avenue~ be permitted to erect~ a fence of the
same specifications as his-neighbors across the back of his lot. The
President put the question, the Clerk called the roll, with the following
response: Ayes, Trustees Airey, Casterline, Ekren, Gaw, Norris and Schlaver.
Nays, none. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

Change in paving plans from-Consoer~, Townsend & Associates describing change
~T Sec. 14-CS in plans and additions in paving, MFT Sec. 14-CS, Pine
Pine and other streets and other streets.
October 6, 1959
Mr. Harold G. Appleby
Village Manager
Municipal Bldg., Mt. Prospect
Dear Mr. Appleby: Re:.MFT Sec. 14-CS, Bituminous' Resurfacing
of Pine and other Streets - C.T.&A #59-85
Ih accordance with our recent telephone conversation concerning
proposed additions to the referenced project, we have prepared and
submit herewith five (5) copies of Request No. I for Approval of
Change in Plans.
This change order provides for an addition of $10,957.90 and covers
various items as described therein. As you know, the additional pave-
ment removal and replacement is deemed necessary due to excessive
vertical separation of pavement at the centerline, and this work was
recommended by two State Highway Department representatives during a
recent field inspection. Additional drainage structures and curb
removal and replacements are necessary in order to correct poor
drainage conditions. Additional sidewalkreolacements are proposed
at intersections where the present walk aprons have settled. The
quantity of frames and grates to be adjusted is increased due to the
necessity to adjust additional drainage structures in the pavement
area, which were inadvertently omitted from the p'lans. Some catch
basins in the parkway had settled, and it is considered desirable that
they be adjusted at this time.
The additional work will be done at contract unit prices, except for
those items marked with an asterisk on the change order which indicates
"Agreed Price". The agreed prices conform with the contractor's proposal,
a copy of which is ~ttached, and we coAsider them to be satisfactory.
We attempted tomegotiate with the contractor for lower unit prices
for the items of sidewalk removal and P.C.C. Sidewalk (5"), but he.
advised that due to the proposed reconstruction of many small sections
of walk he feels that payment should be made at contract unit prices.
The items in change order were discussed 'verbally with the State, and
the only items that appeared questionable, insofar as receiving State
approval is concerned, were the items of sidewalk removal, P.C.C. S~e-
walk (5"), and catch basins to be adjusted in parkway. However, the
State Highway Department representative suggested that if the Village
so d~sires, these items may be included in the change order for formal
action by that Department.
If this change order is satisfactory witb you and the Board, kindly
sign&n the lower right-hand corner of all copies and s~bmit four
signed copies to Mr. J. P. Tuthill, District Engineer, Illinois Division
of Highways, 160 North La Salle Street, Chicago, Illinois, for approval.
Very truly yours,
CONSOER, TOWNSEND & ASSOCIATES
