PUBLIC COMMENT Nancy Stephens, 129 Robertson Avenue, thanked Trustee Branding for her support and is disappointed her vote will not be counted on certain issues. Mrs. Stephens congratulated the Lions Club for their sponsorship and hard work on the Alpine festival. Charles Maguire, 1060 Cardinal Drive, shared his thoughts on the boundary agreement between the Village of Lake Zurich and the Village of Kildeer as it relates to the Churchill development. Site plans were distributed to the Board. Inland Development successfully negotiated contracts with all of the residential properties on Cardinal Drive and the strip mall owner by the Kemmerlings. Since then, contracts with the Maguires, the Saranieckis, and the Kemmerlings no longer exist or are needed. Mr. Maguire also believes there is still enough space to provide an entrance into the shopping center off Old Rand Road without these properties. He prefers to avoid de-annexation and homes eminent domain will not take place. Cheryl Grever, 68 Robertson Road, thanked Building/Zoning Director Peterson for his assistance in getting the Queen removed from the lake and the property at Nestlerest cleaned up. Village President Tolomei explained eminent domain was never contemplated. Board of Trustees Regular Village Board meeting minutes, August 4, 2008 Page 2 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.
