There was currently a developer meeting for Glendale Estates. They plan to move forward with more construction on June 1st. Next week there will be a public hearing fo the Bucks Drive rezoning.

2. Village Manager Update

Village Administrator McCarthy updated the board that the recent purchase of a truck is ready for pick-up. He told the board that the property manager of Manor Hill II Subdivision agreed initially to widen part of Gordon Drive. They now want out of this contract. Another buyer is willing to buy the final lots. If the current owner of the lots do not get out of the agreement, they will wait out the 20 year contract until it ends up expiring. The cost of the annexation is $191,000. The land is currently zoned R-1, but not platted yet. Lastly, it currently costs $1,150 dollars for a Village water tap. Village staff has come up with a way to reduce these costs. The village is proposing a more efficient way to save money for this process. There will be an ordinance prepared to adjust those fixed rates. The dual tap rate will be effective once the ordinance is passed.
