TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator
FOR: January 20, 1999 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Northwest Extension of Lillian Street
At the November 23, 1998 City Council meeting, Staff was directed to meet with the
affected property owner's regarding the traffic problems encountered along Crystal
Lake road between Royal Drive and Lillian Street. City Council's action was
precipitated by a letter the Council received from Craig and Steve Bjorkman (enclosed).
January 5, 1999, the Director of Public Works and city Administrator met wit the affected
property owners. A copy of the minutes is enclosed for your review. All owners were
represented except for First Midwest Bank.
Staff's proposal to the group was a public street that aligned with Oakwood Drive at
Royal Drive; then extended behind the Post Office and Ace Hardware; then connected
to the bank's driveway at Lillian Street. In Staff's opinion, this would alleviate traffic
congestion along Crystal Lake Road between Royal Drive and Lillian Street.
Attachment "A" depicts the Staff's proposal.
This alignment was rejected by Northfox Condominium. They saw no benefit in
transforming their private driveway to a public street; and without the cooperation of
Northfox Condominiums, the proposed street alignment is impossible.
The group did see merit to the following improvements detailed below that are depicted
on Attachment B; however, no one was 100% committed:
1. Combine the side by side access drives of the Post Office and Ace
Hardware, and make this a "right in/right out only."
2. Join the Post Office parking lot with Ace Hardware.
3. Construct an access drive from Ace Hardware behind the bank and
connect with the existing driveway leading to the traffic signal at Lillian
Street.
4. Connect Whispering Point Center to the driveway leading to Lillian Street
traffic signal, and close the access on e Street.

With these improvements, it is the Staff's opinion there wold be a measurable relief in
traffic congestion in this area.
Discussion Point
1. What is the City's involvement?
Option 1
The City act as a facilitator to coordinate the efforts of the property owners
in improving traffic circulation in the area. The City would not participate
financially to any aspect of the project, nor would the City accept any
portion of the improvements as public right-of-way.
Option 2
The City participate financially to the projected by accepting the dedication
of the driveway area at the bank from Crystal lake Road to the rear
property line of the bank. This would become a public street and;
consequently, accessed by all adjoining property owners.
If Option 2 is considered by the City, the following investigation and/or potential
improvements may have to be done.
1. Investigate the existing conditions of the banks driveway to determine
structural adequacy of the pavement.
2. Prepare dedication documents (legal and engineering) for accepting the
property for public street.
3. Survey the property to insure adequate property is available for the public
street and to accommodate any necessary improvements without
interfering with the bank's operation. Improvements such as lane
widening or adding a left turn land may be necessary for the intersection
to function properly.
4. Modification to the traffic signal.
As previously stated, the owners have yet to decide if any or all these improvements
would occur. If there are no interconnection of properties there is little value in
accepting responsibility of an extension of Lillian Street west of Crystal Lake.
