7. NEW BUSINESS
(This agenda item includes matters coming to the Board of Trustees for discussion
and possible action).
A. Courtesy Review for Proposed Miniature Golf Course at 61 West Main Street /
Block B (Trustee Bobrowski)
Summary: Mr. Kyle Essary proposes the development of the 1.63-acre
property at the site of the former Lake Zurich police station and dispatch
center, commonly referred to as Block B at 61 West Main Street. This property
has remained vacant since the demolition of the former police station.
The developer is proposing the construction of a new 18-hole miniature golf
course in addition to a 40-foot by 20-foot building for customer check-in, golf
club and ball rentals, packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages, and parking
lot for approximately 39 vehicles.
This village-owned property is zoned within the B-2 Central Business District,
which does not provide for mini-golf as an approved land use. Thus, if the
Village Board approves of such a concept on Main Street, it would need to
approve a Special Use amendment after a future public hearing.
Recommended Action: This is a non-voting item at this time. The developer
and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the
proposed use at this site.
B. Intergovernmental Agreement with the Central Lake County Joint Action
Water Agency for the Sharing of Engineering Study Costs in the Amount Not-
to-Exceed $86,859.20 (Trustee Spacone)
Summary: The decision to transition to Lake Michigan water versus staying
with the current deep-well system is extremely complex. The Village of Lake
Zurich recognizes that there are substantial costs in the millions of dollars
associated with providing a long-term and safe water supply.
On January 22, 2022, the Village Board held a community workshop meeting
to analyze the data that had been collected from the recent Engineering
Enterprises study and provide direction to Staff moving forward. This
community workshop meeting was held in-person at Village Hall and also live-
streamed on Facebook Live and the Village website. The direction from the
Village Board at that time was unanimous: to explore in greater detail the
feasibility of providing Lake Michigan water as the primary water source for
the community.
The Village has been presented with an intergovernmental agreement from
the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency for the sharing of future
engineering costs to provide Lake Michigan water to Lake Zurich. This
agreement details a contract with Construction Engineering Company (CDM
Smith) for a total cost not-to-exceed $108,574.

The cost of the engineering shall be paid at an obligation of 20% by the CLC
Joint Action Water Agency at $21,714.80 and 80% by the Village at $86,859.20.
The Village’s current 2022 budget has funds in the Water and Sewer Fund for
this expense.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement
with the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency for the Sharing of
Engineering Study Costs in the Amount Not-to-Exceed $86,859.20.
