BUILDING & ZONING, CHAIRMAN HOPKINS
Lis Trucking-Site/PUD Plan and Special Use Permit Amendments
Planning and Development Director Roberta Grill stated the petitioner is requesting a site PUD Plan amendment and it is for an existing building and storage yards located on the north Side of Graham St. just East of Rt. 25 on the villages far west corporate limits. Lis Trucking is purchasing this entire five-acre site. They would be locating on the eastern portion which is formally the Actin Mobile site. This petition also includes the two-acre existing storage yard to the west. Lis Trucking would be utilizing it for its car transport business and they deliver vehicles to all 48 contiguous states. They own 10 car carriers and also utilize contractors to transport their vehicles. Cars would be stored on a temporary basis and typically for no more than two days. They are requesting a special use amendment to allow for the storage of car carriers and passenger vehicles. Since the Actin Mobile site was very specific in their PUD, they are only allowed for mobile office trailers, storage trailers and portable classrooms to be stored on the site.
President Wallace asked if they were going to clean the site up. He stated any improvements to that site would be great.
Chairman Hopkins stated that the item will be forwarded on to the Plan Commission.
FINANCE & GOLF, CHAIRMAN DEYNE
2020-21 Proposed Budget Review
Finance Director Todd Dowden presented the proposed 2020-2021 operating budget.
(At the end of the presentation, the following questions and comments were made)
Chairman Reinke stated that he would have liked to have the slides in advance of the meeting. He stated that he thought, 30 slides back, there was some indication that we were projecting a 1% increase in property taxes.
Mr. Dowden stated that there is going to be an increase from the police pension fund. The general levy is staying flat, but the increase comes from the police pension levy and the debt service levy is going up $9,000 which is a fraction of a percent. He apologized for not being able to send the slides out earlier, the overview was moved up to February so we would have the two meetings in March to review the detail, but he was going to send it out on Friday when the budget will be sent out.
President Wallace thought it would be interesting to see how we could utilize the increase to the online tax and if it could possibly reduce the sewer rate.
Mr. Dowden stated that it will be coming in 2021, but it will be interesting to see how much comes in.
President Wallace stated that he is hearing a potential revenue source could come from the 5G antennas. He asked if the village has been approached yet about those.
Mr. Dowden stated that we do have a lot of development as far as gas stations and those are good revenue generators as well.
President Wallace moved to adjourn the meeting and that motion was moved by Chairman Camerer and seconded by Chairman Carbonaro.
