SSA FINANCING
“Exhibit A” Attached
Village Administrator introduced Mr. Peter Raphael, of William Blair & Company, who gave a brief presentation regarding the Special Service Area financing. Mr. Raphael reviewed the improvements to be financed, financing structure, billing and collecting, village obligations and covenants, controls, and frequently asked questions portions of the presentation. Mr. Raphael said the special service area bonds are being used to pay for infrastructure improvements such as roads, water, sewer, storm water, curbs and gutters. He also said that under the special service area bonds, only the property owners that benefit from the improvements are assessed an additional tax which is used to pay debt service and administrative expenses on the bonds. Meaning, the bonds are used for that property and only those people who benefit from these improvements will be taxed. The taxes will be a separate tax and only for those homes within the two subdivisions (Clublands and Deercrest). He said that it is important to know that this is not a general obligation bond of the Village. Neither the full faith and credit nor the general taxing power of the village is pledged to the payment of the bonds. This does not affect the Village’s borrowing power in any way.

Peter Raphael said the County will be doing the billing and the collecting of the special tax. This will appear as a separate line item on the regular tax bill received twice a year, once in June and once in December. Any delinquencies will also be handled by the County, so the village does not have the responsibility for the billing and collecting of the tax. Mr. Raphael went on to say that Laura Bilas, with Foley and Lardner, Bond Counsel, is responsible for issuing the tax exempt opinion and drafting village documents; the Village Attorney will be actively involved in reviewing the documents and signing off on their structure. Mr. Raphael said that he’s the underwriter of the bonds and he will be responsible for selling the bonds. He said that he also has a counsel that will prepare the offering memorandum, the document they use to sell the bonds that has information on the village, developer and the projects. There will be a third party administrator of the Bonds, paid for by the special service area, who will be able to answer homeowner’s questions. There will be a 1-800 number that consumers would be able to call, and he will be working with information and disclosure, such as, how the development is occurring and keeping bond holders informed about what’s happening on the site. Trustee Porch asked how will the funds be disbursed. Mr. Raphael said disbursements would occur after the village engineer inspects and signs off on the work done. When Trustee Porch asked about the County SSA payoff, Village Attorney Bob Long said this is part of the normal procedure for establishing an SSA and it was also expressed in the settlement agreement. Mayor Maravelas asked if all information is disclosed to potential home buyers. Mr. Raphael said that a rider will be attached to the sales contract providing full disclosure. A brochure explaining the SSA and how it works will be provided to the village as well as copies being distributed to the Antioch Tax Assessor’s office and located in the subdivision’s sales office. When Trustee Pierce asked how the second or third home buyer is protected, Mr. Raphael said there’s two items that protect the second home buyer; 1. It’s on the regular tax bill; 2. It will show up in title search. There was no further discussion regarding Mr. Raphael’s presentation.

SMITH ENGINEERING Administrator Haley said that we are in the process of applying for an IEPA loan to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer system and to fix our infiltration problem. Mr. Haley reviewed the proposal/agreement from Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. regarding Construction Observation Services for the EFPA Water Main Extension Project.

A motion was made by Trustee Caulfield, seconded by Trustee Porch to approve the agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign the Smith Engineering Inc. Agreement regarding the Construction Observation Services for the EFPA Water Main Extension Project. On roll call the vote was:

YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson.

NO: 0.

THE MOTION CARRIED.

Administrator Haley said as directed by the Board, he’s asked for the proposal from Smith Engineering, Inc. regarding their technical support concerning the operation and possible upgrade of our wastewater treatment plant. Trustee Larson asked why are we having another firm do this instead of in-house. Village Attorney Bob Long said that it has a lot to do with the EPA, among everything else, since we’ve had the problem with the acid spill, we’re trying to do this to ensure that the EPA understands that the village is doing everything possible to comply all the environmental laws. Getting the consultants in here is one of those stages that we have to implement. Trustee Larson asked if Smith Engineering Inc., have experience in wastewater management. Administrator Haley said they have much experience in this area. Trustee Larson asked that if we kept a firm that was overseeing the treatment plant, would we have possibly not had the problem that we had, rather than taking it back upon ourselves. Administrator Haley said that he can’t answer that, he knows that it was their design that we working with.

A motion was made by Trustee Caulfield, seconded by Trustee Pierce to approve and have the Mayor sign the proposal/agreement from Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. to provide technical support regarding operation of the WWTP. On roll call the vote was:

YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson.

NO: 0.

THE MOTION CARRIED.

BOND ORDINANCE Administrator Haley said that under the Village Attorney’s section of the ordinance there is a Bond Ordinance for $805,000 that we held a public hearing for on February 3, 2003. The ordinance is about the issuance of limited corporate purpose bonds to be used as seed money to start some of the needed projects in the village. He will be asking for approval of the ordinance tonight.
CITIZENS Mayor Maravelas recognized those citizens wishing to address the board.

Mr. John Horan, Hillside resident, said that he was confused that the Village Attorney will be reading ordinances regarding the Special Service Areas. Mr. Horan asked at what meeting did the Board authorize these ordinances to be drafted. Village Attorney Long said that he didn’t write the ordinances, Mr. Peter Raphael and Ms. Laura Bilas of Foley & Lardner wrote the ordinances. He said the expenses of the preparation of the documents is all folded within the special service areas bond itself. He said, “So, there’s not going to be any additional expense of the village as a result of the creation these ordinances.” He also said this is the first reading of the ordinance. They will available over the next two weeks and then will be discussed at the second reading at the earliest is two weeks from today. Ms. Laura Bilas explained the SSA procedure. She said we have passed ordinances establishing the SSA. The ordinances being read tonight are additional ordinances that are required by statute.

Margaret Cole, Chestnut Street resident, said that every house on Bishop and Chestnut have yellow ribbons in honor of the troops overseas.

Marianne Brandt, Savage Road resident, approached the Board concerning the condition of Savage Road. She said there are many pot holes that have been there for about two weeks and the condition of the road should be looked at. Trustee Pierce said that he did drive by yesterday and he noticed the pot holes and that was one of the things he was going to ask the Administrator to look into. He thanked her for bringing it up.

RE-SUBDIVISION Trustee Pierce reviewed the request for approval of Subdivision from Pat and Richard Pedersen. Robert Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building, said this was a very minor request. This a Lake County subdivision plat that requires village signature on the final plat. From the village’s standpoint this is a very minor matter, and this territory is not likely to be annexed to the Village in the foreseeable future given the minor nature. He’s asking the Village Board to approve the request.

A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Foresta to authorize Mayor and Village Clerk sign the Pat and Richard Pedersen Final Plat of Subdivision in unincorporated territory within one and one-half miles of the Village limits. The parcel is commonly known as 18729 W. State Line Road. On roll call the vote was:

YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson.

NO: 0.

THE MOTION CARRIED.

PZB03-02 Senior Planner George Sakas reviewed the following Planning and Zoning Board’s letter of recommendation dated March 17, 2003 regarding the variance request for Cedar Point Condominiums, Cedar Development LLC c/o Dennis Biedron at 633-657 Main Street; PZB03-02;

The Combined Planning and Zoning Board conducted a hearing on March 13, 2003, following notification as required by Illinois State Law and Village Ordinance.

Site: The parcels are situated at 633 - 657 Main Street, Antioch, IL 60002. Petitioner has built five town homes on lot 14 (the property’s second lot from the north on IL Rte. 83), and is permitted to build six town homes on lot 13 (the northern-most lot IL Rte. 83 south). Petitioner has purchased five adjoining lots and seeks to develop the seven parcels with one unified design. As five separate lots, petitioner would need to develop each separately. A unified plan as submitted, required construction within prescribed setbacks and in some cases straddling certain interior lot lines. All lot lines exterior to the contiguous property have been maintained.

Proposal. Petitioner requested variance to the village zoning ordinance in order to allow for configuration of seven (7) buildings to be built on seven (7) proposed lots, the seven lots currently functioning as one zoning lot, allowing construction over lot lines and disregarding setbacks interior to the contiguous property, but respecting lot line setbacks adjacent to neighboring properties.

Petitioner requested variance to the village building code requiring multiple-family buildings consisting of three or more units located within the R-4 and R-5 Zoning Districts to be constructed with all exterior facades of four-inch nominal thickness masonry, with an exposed finished surface, from the ground to a height of 8 ½ feet. Petitioner requests brick on the front and sides only.

Zoning Variation Findings of Fact Concerning Lot Line Setbacks The proposed variation will not impair adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; Unreasonably increase the congestion in public streets; Increase the danger of fire or endanger public safety; Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding area; and there is demonstrated practical design difficulty involved in this project.

The requested variation does not permit a use otherwise excluded from the R5 Multi-Family Zoning District in which it is located. The conditions or circumstances upon which the request is based apply to the land for which the variation is sought, and is not generally applicable in the zoning district. The condition or circumstance, specifically, platting of parcels without street access, is not the result of any action on the part of the applicant. The strict application of the lot line setback requirements would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of his land. The proposed variance would provide a unified multi-family residential development as intended by zoning and the comprehensive plan. The variation requested is the minimum adjustment needed for the reasonable use of the land. The granting of the requested variation is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the public welfare, or in conflict with the Village Comprehensive Plan.

Zoning Variation Findings of Fact Concerning Ground Floor Masonry Facade The proposed variation was determined to increase the danger of fire or endanger public safety and unreasonably diminish or impair established property values with the surrounding area. It was further determined that the variance would merely serve as a convenience to the applicant with no practical design difficulty involved in this project. The brick requirement applies to all other properties in the zoning district. The strict application of the ground floor masonry requirement would not deprive the applicant of reasonable use of his land, nor does it preclude reasonable use of the land. A granting of variance would diminish harmony with the general purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and would be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the public welfare and in conflict with the Village Comprehensive Plan.

Audience There were citizen comments from the neighbors immediately to the south. The conversation centered on storm water detention release.

Staff Review Senior Planner George Sakas recommended approval of the lot line variance allowing a unified design and recommended denial of the first floor masonry facade petition. Village Engineer Jim Keim commented that he had not yet received final engineering for storm water detention and run-off, but agreed that detention and discharge are a concern.

Unified Design Recommendation Following discussion, Kyle LaReese moved, Margaret Cole seconded a motion to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the variation concerning lot line setbacks based on the submitted plan with the CONDITION that final engineering provide for adequate storm water detention and off-site discharge, as approved by the village engineer. AYES: 5; McCarty, Cole, LaReese, Ipsen and Baba. NAYS: 0. ABSENT: 1; Keller. The Motion Carried.

Brick Facade Recommendation Following discussion, Bob McCarty moved, Tom Baba seconded, a motion to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the masonry facade variance request. AYES: 5; McCarty, Cole, LaReese, Ipsen and Baba. NAYS: 0. ABSENT: 1; Keller. The Motion to DENY the Masonry Facade Variation Carried.

VB MOTION A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Larson to approve the Planning and Zoning Board’s recommendation dated March 17, 2003 regarding the variance request for Cedar Point Condominiums, 633 - 657 Main Street; PZB03-02 and authorizes the Village Attorney to draft the appropriate ordinance with the conditions as listed in the Planning and Zoning Board’s letter.

On roll call the vote was:

YES: 6; Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson.

NO: 0.

THE MOTION CARRIED.

RT. 173 CORRIDOR Trustee Pierce reviewed the memorandum dated April 4, 2003 from Bob Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building, regarding the proposals for the East Route 173 Corridor Study. Trustee Pierce said that we have received three excellent proposals. Trustee Porch said that she feels the other proposals were stronger in economic development area and that she felt the Teska and Friedman groups were not given the same criteria offered to Smith Engineering / Kretchmer group. She went on to say that she had a problem with Valerie Kretchmer because she has never worked with Smith Engineering in the past, and that it was recommended to her that she work with Smith Engineering. She wanted to remove the engineering aspect of the other two proposals and replace them with Smith Engineering proposal to do what she believed would be a fairer comparison. A brief discussion followed that included Trustee Hanson stating that we previously tabled discussion on this to have staff get other proposals and they have done that. He said, “We have to rely on our staff to be professional, which they are, who put the bid specifications together.” Trustee Caulfield said that Trustee Porch has a valid point and it sounds like different directions were given to the different bidders. He said he didn’t know if that was true, but that is what she is indicating.

A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Foresta to accept the recommendation concerning proposals received on 4/3/03 for the East Route 173 Corridor Study and award the proposal to Smith Engineering / SEC / Kretchmer in amount not to exceed $73,290. On roll call the vote was:
