CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING: THIRD AMENDMENT TO INLAND BUSINESS PARK ANNEXATION AGREEMENT Mayor Low reconvened the Public Hearing regarding the Third Amendment to Inland Business Park Annexation Agreement at 7:38 p.m. She noted the Hearing was initially scheduled for September 11, 2006 and was recessed to this evening's meeting. In attendance was Mr. Christopher Zock representing the applicant, Cunat Brothers Inc. Mr. Zock addressed Council stating the proposed amendment to the Inland ►�.. Business Park Annexation Agreement relates to the required burying of existing utility lines along Crystal Lake Road. He noted the burying of the lines would cause an added September 18, 2006 Page 2 expense to the Patriot Estates developer, Cunat Brothers Inc. He also noted Commonwealth Edison has the right to unbury the lines at anytime and re-install them above-ground. The applicant is requesting that portion of the Inland Business Park Annexation Agreement relating to the required burying of the utility lines along Crystal Lake Road be stricken. Responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Director of Community Development Napolitano stated Commonwealth Edison can not be compelled by the City to bury cables. Alderman Glab stated if the developer initially agreed to bury the cables, he would be concerned about a precedent being set by waiving the requirement at this time. He expressed concern that other developers might likewise decide not to bury the utility Fines as required in their annexation agreement. Director Napolitano stated new utility lines located in the interior of the development would still be buried as required by the Agreement. Alderman Murgatroyd stated he would concur with the applicant's suggestion to move the poles. Alderman Wimmer concurred with the request to strike the language requiring burying the cables along Crystal Lake Road from the Agreement. - - Director Napolitano responded to Alderman Peterson's request for clarification that only the poles along Crystal Lake Road would be repositioned. Alderman Condon stated her preference that the lines be buried; however, if the lines may be reinstalled above-ground at a later date, they might as well remain above- ground at this time. Alderman Santi concurred with Alderman Wimmer. Alderman Glab stated he feels strongly that the cables should be buried, if possible, to provide for a quality development. If the developer agreed to burying the lines initially, he should be held to that Agreement. Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Santi, to close the Public Hearing at 7:56 p.m. Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Motion by Condon, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staffs recommendation to pass an ordinance approving the Third Amendment of the Inland Business Park Annexation Agreement by striking the language in Paragraph 19 requiring the owner to bury the existing utility lines on Crystal Lake Road along the property frontage.
