Widener asked the schedule for completion. Hedrick stated the project would be completed prior to April10, 2018 to allow payment to be made from this fiscal year.

Brown stated $28,000 was budgeted for the parking lot construction and the bid came in at $21,735.

He noted the additional alternative bid was for a concrete curb section and realignment of the alley behind JTs. He stated the alley needed realigned to make sure there was a barrier between commercial and residential.

Brown noted that some engineering had been contracted with Phoenix for approximately $3,000 for plans and measuring which was an additional cost, but the project was still under budget.

RESOLUTION 17-10-02, A Resolution Concerning A Final Plat For Heritage Lake Subdivision Including 25.26± Acres Generally Located South Of Hickory Street Just East Of Taylor Field:

Heckman stated a portion of this subdivision had come before the Board in September for annexation and noted the annexation had been recorded.

She noted the applicant was requesting the creation of 9 lots, 2 of which have existing homes currently on the property. She stated they are requesting 1 lot for an additional residence and the remaining lots would be for conservation or outlots. She noted there are lakes currently located within these lots.

Heckman reviewed the 7 requested waivers. She reported unanimous recommendation by the Plan and Zoning Commission and Staff.

Heckman noted there was a proposed zoning plan included in the packet and stated the Board should expect to address a zoning request next month to rezone the existing homes and the new residential lot to RS and the remaining lots to be zoned Conservation. She stated there was the possibility of an outbuilding on one of the Conservation lots.

Oliger moved, Colravy seconded, “To Approve Resolution 17-10-02, A Resolution Concerning A Final Plat For Heritage Lake Subdivision Including 25.26± Acres Generally Located South Of Hickory Street Just East Of Taylor Field.” ROLL CALL: ALL YES. Motion carried.

Administration:

RESOLUTION 17-10-03, A Resolution Approving An Economic Incentive Agreement By And Between The Village Of Mahomet, Illinois (the “Village”) and 1000 Churchill, LLC (the “Owner”):

Brown stated this issue had been discussed at a previous Study Session but had been pulled from the Board agenda in September due to revisions that were needed. Brown reviewed the revisions to the memo and prepared resolution stating that it had been discovered that due to an Information Sharing Agreement with the Department of Revenue, only 3 people can see information concerning specific sales tax generated by a particular retail business. He noted that due to the stipulations for the percentage of the incentive returned to the property owner, the amount of sales tax generated could be revealed to anyone which would be violation of the agreement with the State.

Brown noted the Economic Incentive Agreement was revised to include a requirement that permission would need to be obtained by the retailer to share this information. He noted that if permission was not granted, then the incentive would not be rebated.

Brown stated there are certain criteria that had to be met by the property owner as well in order to receive the incentive. He stated this incentive was to help offset some of the cost for the building owner.

Widener stated it was fortunate staff discovered this possible violation before the agreement was finalized. Brown stated this requirement would have to be done included in any future agreements.

Lynn moved, Harpst seconded, “To Approve Resolution 17-10-03, A Resolution Approving An Economic Incentive Agreement By And Between The Village Of Mahomet, Illinois (the “Village”) and 1000 Churchill, LLC (the “Owner”).” ROLL CALL: ALL YES. Motion carried.

Metzger asked if Waldinger had looked at an agreement to use the lot adjacent to Taylor field. Brown stated currently the owner does allow parking there, but the owners do not want to give up this lot. Brown stated Waldinger and the owner have been working together on the use of this lot and the Village’s responsibility for assisting with maintenance.

There being no further business, Metzger moved, Lynn seconded, “To Adjourn At 6:15 P.M.” ROLL CALL: ALL YES. Motion carried.
