Trustee Slocum asked where we left the Ravine Woods. Are we going to talk to the park district.

Petrick stated that his notes on Ravine Woods state that we were going to explore temporary bridges and a stub connection.

Trustee Greco asked if the fire department had comment about the one way in and one way out, as far as emergency vehicles.

Petrick stated it’s not ideal, but because they can turn around and circulate, that is their main concern. He stated the previous plan would land lock a truck, once it went down it couldn’t get back out.

Trustee Slocum asked if we could talk to the land owner just to the north of the subdivision to see if there is anything that could be worked out for a temporary construction road.

Petrick stated that may be possible.

Thomas Carroll, engineer and land surveyors representing the applicant, stated his client has been in contact with the land owner to the north and they discussed the possibilities of land swaps, purchasing properties and there was nothing that could be worked out with the land owner to the north. He stated as far as temporary bridges, it is really not a feasible option; you have a ravine to the south that the park district is working on, the Dupage River to the east. He stated it is not feasible to do any temporary or permanent bridges. He stated we’ve been working with the Village since January, went through the process, made the amendments to the plan and worked with the fire department and the school district to revise those streets. He stated at this point, he’s not sure that anything else could be done to the plan beyond what is presented. He doesn’t feel there are a need for any other discussions. He asked when it would be back for approval.

Petrick stated the next meeting two weeks from tonight, November 19th.

He stated that Planning and Zoning is Tuesday of next week, because Monday is a holiday for the Village of Channahon for Veteran’s Day. He stated the meeting will be Tuesday at 6:00 p.m., tentatively the final plat for Four Oaks Subdivision will go forward. He also stated they’ve hit 100 new construction permits for the year and network and wifi upgrades will take place in the next week or two, to increase internet speed security and management.

Trustee Slocum stated he went down to Springfield last Tuesday for a Illinois Traffic Safety Summit.

VP Moorman Schumacher stated it is frightening pulling up to someone and they are watching a video or reading a newspaper while they are driving.

Trustee Slocum stated some communities are parking cherry pickers on the side of the road to make it look like Public Works is working and they will nail them right there. He also stated they have signs go up saying this store is having a special sale when really it’s a police officer nailing them. He stated some of them are getting pretty creative.
