CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The regular Wheaton City Council Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Michael Gresk. Upon roll call, the following were: Physically Present: Mayor Michael J. Gresk Councilwoman Suzanne Fitch Councilman John Prendiville Councilman John Rutledge Councilman Thor Saline Councilman Todd Scalzo Councilman Phil Suess Absent: None City Staff Present: Michael G.

Schulz, Director of Human Resources Sharon Barrett-Hagen, City Clerk 2. PRESENTATIONS Mayor Gresk read and presented a proclamation to Mr. Anthony Pope, Environmental Improvement Commission, proclaiming April 8 – 30, 2017 as Earth Days in the City. Mr. Pope thanked the Mayor and City Council for the proclamation and invited everyone to participate in the various activities that are scheduled during April. He indicated information about these events can be found on the City’s website. 3. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Mr. Bobby McNeily, 323 E. Liberty Drive, encouraged everyone to get out and vote tomorrow. He also indicated he would like to add a discussion about a historic preservation ordinance to the agenda. Mayor Gresk advised items cannot be added to the agenda, but a discussion could possibly be scheduled for a future Planning Session. Mr. Ronald Almiron, 455 W. Front Street, expressed his belief that City should have pursued a PUD with Pulte Homes which, in his opinion, would have given the City greater flexibility to save the convent and church. Mr. Almiron believes the Pulte submission is not in compliance because of traffic circulation issues. He also feels the proposal does not comply with the City’s Comprehensive Plan by allowing R-4 density when the surrounding homes were developed as R-3. He asked the Council to reconsider their approval of this subdivision to preserve the convent and lower the proposed density. 4. CONSENT AGENDA Councilman Suess moved and Councilman Saline seconded that the following action be taken on the Consent Agenda items: 1. Approve the Minutes of the March 20, 2017 regular Wheaton City Council Meeting, as submitted. 2. Approve Requests for Bond Waivers and Authorize Issuance of Raffle Licenses/Washington PTA and Briar Glen PTC. 3.

City Manager Dzugan recommended approval of the resolution as presented. Councilman Rutledge questioned if the development agreement would prohibit the installation of a putting green. City Attorney Knippen stated it is his opinion putting greens would not be prohibited under the development agreement as the primary purpose of that agreement was to discourage families with young children from purchasing homes in the subdivision. Mr. Vince Rosanova, 30 W. Jefferson Avenue, Naperville, attorney representing the developer, indicated the issue of a putting green would be addressed in the restrictive covenants as part of the Final Plat approval. In response to Councilman Suess, City Attorney Knippen stated it would be at the City’s discretion as to specific enforcement of any restrictive covenants.
