e) Consideration – An Ordinance Designating the Intersections of Founders Field
Boulevard/ Ackman Road and Founders Field Boulevard and Williams/Hadley Drive as
All-Way Stop Control
Village Manager David Johnson reported that a sight distance evaluation/engineering study submitted by
the developer for the Talamore Subdivision, CalAtlantic Homes, a Lennar Company, identified possible
sight line obstructions at certain intersections along Founders Field Boulevard and Talamore Boulevard.
The developer has submitted for consideration a revised traffic control plan that allows the existing
landscaping to remain at three intersections within the Talamore Subdivision generally as follows:
Founders Field Boulevard:
At Ackman Road: Add stop control devices including stop signs, advanced warning signs
and stop bars for the eastbound and westbound traffic on Ackman Road
05.24.18 VB Minutes 7
and designate intersection as an all-way (3-way) stop intersection per the
attached exhibit.
At Williams Drive: Add stop control devices including stop signs, advanced warning signs
and stop bars for the northbound and southbound traffic on Founders Field
Boulevard and designate intersection as an all-way (4-way) stop
intersection. Pavement markings for pedestrian crosswalks will be added
per the attached exhibit, as well.
Talamore Boulevard:
At Kalsow Lane: Add signage and pavement markings restricting a left turn from Kalsow
Lane onto Talamore Boulevard per the attached exhibit. The allowable
turning movements will be a right turn from Kalsow Lane onto Talamore
Boulevard; a left and right turn from Talamore Boulevard onto Kalsow
Lane.
Staff Analysis
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) allows for the following optional criteria
that may be considered in an engineering study:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high
pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able
to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar
design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic
operational characteristics of the intersection.
Based on the sight distance evaluation / engineering study and the MUTCD optional criteria, the
proposed traffic control improvements are warranted.
Financial Impact
Improvements will be contracted and paid for by the developer prior to subdivision acceptance.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.
A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Designating the Intersections of Founders Field
Boulevard/Ackman Road and Founders Field Boulevard and Williams/Hadley Drive as All-Way
Stop Control.

Using only the Village of Huntley planned quantities, Visu-Sewer remained the lowest responsible

Account
Fund Number Type Amount Project
st
1 Street Parking Lot
Downtown TIF Fund 16-10-2-6320 Expenditure $320,000 Improvements
Financial Impact
The FY2018 budget will be increased by this dollar amount in the Downtown TIF Fund (16). However,
this project was approved and incorporated into the FY2017 budget and actual expenditure projections.
Therefore, total projected fund balance has not changed due to the amendment for this fund. The
Downtown TIF fund currently has a negative fund balance, but projecting revenues and current known
expenditures, such as debt payments, over the life of the TIF shows this negative fund balance will be
covered.
