There was an agreement reached between the Homeowners Association and the Gas N Wash. There will be an 8' by approximately 60' vinyl fence erected on the HOA property along Kostner Avenue and will be paid for by the Gas 30 N Wash in the interest of the privacy and separating the two parcels. This will be at 4410- 4402 W. 127th Street. There will be a 6' by approximately 300' fence on the east side near the retention pond on the Gas N Wash property.
Trustee McLawhorn made a motion to approve the above ordinance which is item U on the consent agenda; seconded by Trustee Murphy.
Roll # 1: Voting " aye": Trustees Dalzell, Zielinski, Juarez, McLawhorn, Murphy and Nava- Esparza. Motion carried 6-0.
3) Approval of an agreement between Gas N Wash and the Village of Alsip where the Village will reimburse Gas N Wash $350, 000. 00 for expenses related to IDOT improvements. The attorney, Lyman Tieman, was present from Gas N Wash along with Mike Hackett and Brian Hertz. Their traffic consultant and civil engineer have prepared a preliminary estimate for the improvements that IDOT may require for 127th Street. They are asking the Village to reimburse them for those costs. This will be for some various expected improvements at the Kostner intersection and 127th Street that they expect to be around $750,000.00. If the Board is in agreement there will be a resolution coming at a later meeting. The Mayor reviewed some of the information from the performa that he gave the Board the previous week. It would be estimated that the Village would be able to recoup that money within 3- 4 years. The current property owner has come to the Mayor with concerns about the substantial property taxes he is paying for that property. He thought he may have to leave so this is great opportunity to help him and make sure that we don' t have a property that taxes aren't being collected on. This project will generate sales and property tax money. Revenues are expected to climb year after year.
Trustee McLawhorn made the motion to approve item V on the consent agenda; seconded by Trustee Dalzell.
Roll # 2: Voting "aye": Trustees Dalzell, McLawhorn, Murphy and Nava-Esparza. Voting " nay": Trustee Juarez. Voting to "abstain": Trustee Zielinski. Motion carried.
