Roll #1: Voting aye: Trustees Shapiro, McGreal, Daddona, Quinn, Dalzell and Ryan. Motion carried. Motion by Trustee Quinn to approve the Consent Agenda as presented; seconded by Trustee Ryan. Roll #2: Voting aye: Trustees Shapiro, McGreal, Daddona, Quinn, Dalzell and Ryan. Motion carried. Items removed from the Consent Agenda Item H Approval of an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development Special Use District, Plat of Subdivision for the Property Located at 12340, 12400, 12500 South Cicero Avenue for a Proposed Mixed Use Retail and Commercial Development. Trustee McGreal referred to an email sent to Board members and the Mayor with questions regarding a contingency letter of authority and ownerships of affected properties, and asked to table this item for further clarification. Attorney Hayden reported the contingency letter of authority is perfectly acceptable and consistent with Village Code requirements. Regarding questions on ownership of the property, the information submitted by the Cook County Treasurers office are record of owners of the property and not always the actual owners. In response to questions from Trustee Quinn, Attorney Hayden reported everything is contingent on the Board entering into a final development agreement, which is normally completed prior to the purchase of properties and if for some reason the plan doesnt work out, it can revert back to regular zoning. Trustee McGreal questioned the developers on prior experience and they noted joint-ventured projects at 87th & Kedzie, New Lenox-Mokena areas, Wilmington and Yorkville areas. Motion by Trustee Shapiro to approve an ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL USE DISTRICT, PLAT OF SUBDIVISION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12340, 12400, 12500 SOUTH CICERO AVENUE FOR A PROPOSED MIXED USE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT; seconded by Trustee Ryan.
