Village Administrator Brent Eichelberger, Clerk Cynthia Welsch, Chief Brad Sauer, Community Development Director Scott Buening, Public Works Director Tony Speciale, Utilities Supervisor Merkel and Supervisor Payton.

Community Development Director Scott Buening presented to the Village Board a petition for annexation for 12 Windwood Court. This annexation is necessary t allow for a top on to the Village water and sewer system. The Board discussed the proposed rezoning and setback and found it to be acceptable. This item will be placed on the 7-6-2004 agenda for public hearing and consideration of approval.

Community Development Director Scott Buening presented to the Village Board a petition for annexation and variance for 550 Merrill Road. The annexation is needed, as the petitions, the Wilgers, would like a cub cut onto Merrill Road. The variance is to allow a detached garage, which is 1,256 feet to remain on the lot after annexation. The current allowable maximum square feet within the Village is 700 for a garage. The annexation will require no zoning ordinance a it will default to the R-1 zoning per Village Code. A public hearing has been held before the Plan Commission. The Plan commission recommended approval of the annexation and the variance. The Board discussed the Annexation and Variance for 550 Merrill Road and found the information presented to be in the correct format and directed staff to place the variance on the 7-6-2004 for formal consideration

Director of Public Works Anthony Speciale presented the Village Board with information on the cost for resident Mr. Richard DeTamble to connect to the Village Water System as well as an ordinance that would give a credit of $1,500.00 for the capping and abandoning of a private well.

Janet Schwerer, resident of the Carriage Hill subdivision presented the Village Board with a petition from 40 residents that asks that they not be forced to connect to the Village Water System.

President Michels stated that at this time he would accept the petition, however, the Village has no intention at this time to force anyone to connect, the intent is only to make it be known that it is available and to provide a credit to those who wish to connect.

Trustee Wolf asked for additional information, how many private wells are there in the Village prior to adopting the ordinance providing for a credit. The Board agreed that this information would be helpful and asked that staff obtain the information and bring the ordinance back for formal consideration when the additional information is received.

Representatives of the proposed Jewel Development presented new information to the Village Board.

The Village Board then discussed the development and asked that the petitioners consider the following.

The potential developers are opposed to a full access for Castle Bank as this in their opinion would make Castle Bank an out lot of the development and all out lots are assessed a maintenance fee. The Village Board did not agree and full cross access to the Castle Bank property without any restrictions is what they desire to see. The Board asked that Staff forward to Castle Bank the proposed agreement.

Letter of Credit for Capitol Drive improvements to be held until a substitute Letter is submitted. Tanglewood Development voiced their disagreement with this decision.

The Board was split on the direction for the sales tax incentive agreement. The Board informed the potential developer of their displeasure that this development has been in the works for a long time yet nothing has happened. The agreement at this time is very one-sided, the Village has no assurance that a Jewel Store will be built within a reasonable time frame, yet the developer wants an opened agreement for a period of 7 years. The developer sighted demographics and that they could not disclose what those were as they are proprietary. The developer also stated that without an agreement the economics of the development change. The Board stated that the economics of the Village had also changed and that since the time the Jewel Store has been proposed many other are looking to come to Sugar Grove. The Board suggested that Staff and the developer continue to work on an agreement but it must be revised. The split decision was:

a. Enter into no sales tax agreement.

b. Enter into agreement as proposed with the provision that the agreement will go to the first grocery retailer in excess of 60,000 square feet in area that is issued a certificate of occupancy.

Burying of existing above ground utility lines must be completed and the following 3 options explored further.

c. Village to pay for $430,000 cost for burial.

d. Developer to pay $430,000 cost for burial.

e. Require burial of existing utility lines, roll into Village-wide utility rates.

The Board asked staff to continue to work the developer on this project. The developer stated that they felt the project was not a viable one at this time and they will contact staff if they decide to move forward.

Meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
