CALL TO ORDER Roll Call Present 7- Trustee Jose Chavez, Trustee Linda Palmiter, Trustee Ken Griffin, Trustee Dave Richards, Trustee Brian A. Clancy Sr., Mayor John Noak, and Trustee Lourdes Aguirre 2. POSTING OF COLORS, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 3. PETITIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Susan Larson- With regards to the Bluff Rd. project, her colleague is baffled that the Village is voting on this project without doing a soil analysis and receiving designs for the retaining wall. He also maintains that stormwater ponds are too small, thus the request for variances. She asks that the Village insists that the code be followed and the variances should be denied. There are also problems with the fly ash landfill. The developer has not described adequately how it plans to remeditate this site. The Village is annexing costly problems with this property. What is going to come of the wetlands. There are too many unanswered questions. She is asking for denial of this project. She also asked that the items be voted on individually. Dorothy Resch- She forwarded an email to the Board regarding Woodridge's plans for the property. Woodridge has no intention to annex the property. There is no reason to rush through this annexation. It is imperative that this vote is delayed until all studies are completed and have been made public. Carol Larson- They are concerned about the increased traffic. A colleague from the University of Illinois reviewed the traffic study and he identifies a number of serious flaws in the study. She listed those flaws. Bill Larson- An important decision will be made tonight. He is here to ask the Board to vote against this project or at least to delay it until the spring. There are many challenges on this site. This is not a suitable site for warehouses. The information to vote responsibly is not complete. Do not dismiss the Bluff Rd. community. 4.
