A-21-001 Ordinance - Approval of Special Use for the Sale of Tobacco Products / 682 S.
Barrington Road
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO PERMIT THE SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, 682 S. BARRINGTON ROAD, STREAMWOOD, ILLINOIS." This Ordinance authorizes the issuance of a Special Use Permit to permit the sale of tobacco products at 682 S. Barrington Road, Vape Town.
Trustee Carlson presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated this 1,200 sq. ft. space is in the 4-B shopping center. The shop will sell tobacco and vaping-related products, there will be no on-site consumption allowed. All products are accessible only through an employee; there is no self-service. The Planning and Zoning Board heard this petition in December and recommended favorably, with one condition: The operator will follow the submitted floor plan in substantial compliance. Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Petitioner Jawwad Mehmood was preent for questions. He stated this is a family owned business and they have another location, Johnny Vapes, in Schaumburg. Trustee Carlson expressed grave concerns regarding the effect of tobacco and vape products on human health.
PUBLIC WORKS - Trustee Baumer/Trustee Schmidt
A-21-002 Resolution - License Agreement / Wide Open West, LLC
Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FIBER LICENSE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD AND WIDE OPEN WEST HOLDINGS, LLC TO SERVICE, REPAIR, CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN CABLES WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD." This Resolution approves a license agreement with Wide Open West Holdings, LLC to construct, maintain and repair fiber optic cables within the Village.
Trustee Baumer presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Thon seconded the motion. IT Director Victor Ambroziak stated the Village established a franchise agreement in 1998 with Ameritech which was assumed by WOW in 2001. This agreement has expired and the state has pre-empted municipal renewals of these agreements as they now fall under state control. WOW still owns the fiber optic cable and we have negotiated a three year agreement for repair maintenance and replacement as needed for $1,000/month. After the three years, WOW will continue to provide service on a month-to-month basis.
Trustee Schmidt asked if there are alternatives available. Mr. Ambroziak stated we could attempt to rely on existing internet, which is much less secure and subject to more outages. We could also choose to own the fiber; that would cost between $400,000 and $500,000.
Trustee Harper asked if the neighboring municipalities are also being faced with these new agreements and costs. Mr. Ambroziak stated they are. Trustee Harper confirmed that whatever breaks, WOW will repair it. He asked about future upgrades. Mr. Ambroziak stated that is an entirely separate issue and will be addressed when needed.
