Clancy Sr., Mayor John Noak, and Trustee Lourdes Aguirre Absent 1- Trustee Dave Richards 2. POSTING OF COLORS, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 3. PETITIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Mary Dewald- Has been a resident of Romeoville for 57 years and has been at her present address for 29 years. She is proud to call Romeoville her home. Her and her neighbors on Pine Trails Drive received notices regarding a possible TIF District on Independence Blvd. which is directly across from their home. The notice gave no indication of what was being proposed for the land. They knew when they purchased the home that there was a possibility of the property being developed. At the time of construction we were told this property was zoned residential. If the zoning is changed, our property values will decline. There are several warehouses that are vacant in the Village, fill those first. We disapprove of this plan. It is her understanding that TIF Districts are for blighted areas, this area is not blighted. The truck traffic on Naperville Dr. is already an issue. This makes no sense to her. She asked the Board to consider the residents when making their decision. Janet Gardner- She lives on Pine Trails and is a Romeoville resident for over 50 years. When we purchased this house the deciding factor was that there would be homes across from them. She is the 4th house in on Pine Trails. She feels the residents of Pine Trails have not been considered. Our concerns are the change in zoning, the proximity to their homes (71 feet), the depreciation of the value of their home, the lights and noise, the diesel fuel from the idling trucks, the hours of operation and the increased truck traffic which is already a problem. Frank Rangle- He lives on corner of Honeytree and Naperville Dr. and his concern is the truck traffic. Nobody enforces the trucks disobeying the no truck traffic signs. This project will make this worse. This corner is a school drop off and pick up for kids. This project would not be good for us. Steve Spandonidis- Village of Romeoville Page 1 Printed on 12/29/2017 Village Board Meeting Minutes October 18, 2017 Expressed his happiness with the new development behind his business. This is a difficult piece of property. Thanks to the Village for having the vision to have this development. Frank Finger- The truck traffic is terrible that comes down Naperville Dr. There is also a lot of wildlife living in the trees in this area. Where are all of the animals going to go, in his yard. Semis are going to be coming down his street. No amount of screening will cover that building. 4.
