Members Present: Stephen T. Pudloski, President
Robert Shonk., Finance Director
Thomas Olkowski, Superintendent of Street Department
Richard Figurelli, Superintendent of Water & Sewer Department
James S. Tonkinson, Engineer for the Board
Members Absent: None
Others Present: Those indicated on attached attendance sheet
The Board held a Public Hearing for the proposed paving of Poplar Avenue
north of Livingston and Jenks Street from Poplar to Woodbine, Special
Assessment 1367, at 7:30 P.M. in Room 2402 of the Civic Center located at
2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. The Chair called the meeting to
order at 7:38 P.M.
The Chair introduced the members of the Board, indicating their staff
position with the City and the requirement that they be on the Board.'
The Chair then proceeded to explain the special assessment process and
the need for a Public Hearing as well as the recommendation and reporting
• of the Board's findings to the Administration -and Public Works Committee
and the City Council. He also explained that, should the Administration
and Public Works Committee and the City Council concur with the recommen-
dation, an ordinance would be passed so that the process would proceed to
the Circuit Court of Cook County. He further informed those present that
this is a lengthy process and the earliest that proposals for the project
would be received would be in September.
The President then turned the meeting over to Mr. Shonk who explained.the
collection process for the assessable costs against the properties effected
by the paving project. He explained the opportunity to make installment
payments over a ten-year period at a charge of seven per cent 0%). simple
interest on the unpaid balance annually. He also informed them that the
interest on the payments was tax deductible but that the principle was.not.
Mr. Shonk, having answered all inquiries concerning the collection process
and how the assessments against the land parcels affect the value of the
improvements on the land and the sale of the individual properties, turned
the meeting over to the President.
The President then turned the meeting over to the Engineer for the Board
who, with the use of the visual aids present, described the design and
estimate for the project. He indicated that the design of Poplar Avenue,
as well as Jenks, was that which the property owners affected had indicated
was their preference; that is, that Poplar Avenue is to be.paved as an
alley pavement with concrete and no curbs,19 feet wide.with the drainage
is
• down the center whereas., Jenks is to be paved as a street paving with
curbs and gutters. The drainage structures will be adjacent to the
curb and the pavement will be 7" of bituminous aggregate mixture base
and 2" of an asphalt wearing service. He explained -the manner in which
restoration would be done and the limits of resurfacing existing drive-
ways. He also informed those present of the need to remove four trees
on Jenks and a hedgeroll on the -north side of Jenks. He further stated
that a portion of Poplar Avenue, between Jenks and the alley south. of
Isabella, would be vacated.
The President of the Board interjected that the Park Department has .a
plan to rehabilitate the park lands and that the vacated portion of
Poplar would be included in their plan. In addition, he stated that
the work on the park lands was scheduled to take place in three years
but that it has been moved ahead to 1987 so as to coincide with this
special assessment project and vacation of Poplar.
The Engineer for the Board then indicated that currently there exists
a 12" combined sewer within the right-of-way of Poplar. He stated
that this, according to the plan, was to be replaced with.a 21".sewer
which is a prelude to a part of a solution to the sewer plan for flood-
ing in the drainage basin.
The President then described the function of the sewer system in.this.
area and how the installation of a larger sewer fits into the overall
plan.
• The President for the Board and the Engineer for the Board then fielded
questions concerning the need for a 24' wide street on Jenks and the 19'
wide street on Poplar. The Engineer for the Board then asked if there
were any further questions on the design or anything he had presented.
There being none he then, with. the use of a visual aid, described the
manner of assessing the land parcels for the improvement. He described
the policy of the City as it relates to cost sharing and indicated that
all private land parcels are receiving indirect assessments. Also that
the City would pick up approximately $130,000 of the cost of the paving
project whereas the private owners affected are sharing in $36,000 of
the cost. In addition, the City is financing totally the approximate
$147,000 of the cost to install the 21" sewer within Poplar's right-of-
way.
A discussion ensued concerning the pavement widths and the extent of
maintenance on the proposed.paved streets. Mr. Pudloski explained the
need for the street widths and difference in maintenance levels for con-
crete pavement and asphalt pavement.
The President then asked if there were any further questions and, there
being none,.cal.led for a motion to adhere'to the first resolution for
the project and a recommendation. Mr. Tonkinson made a motion to adhere
to the original resolution and to recommend that the project proceed with
the current design, estimate and specifications. Mr. Figurelli seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
