Minutes – Regular Meeting June 6, 2016 Page 4
Under discussion Village Attorney Luke Glison mentioned to the owner of the
business that he misspoke at the Planning and Zoning hearing that occurred the
previous week. As opposed to what was said at the Planning and Zoning hearing,
only a majority of vote is needed from the board in order to overturn the
recommendation from the Planning and Zoning hearing and approve the requested
text amendment. Several trustees mentioned that they were concern about no
setbacks in place, that there were no ordinances in place for a setback, that the
business owner had already been working without a business license and would
also be voting to deny the motion. The business owner, Patrick Bicanic spoke to
the board and apologized stating that he was unaware that a license had been
required when he leased the building due to the fact that at first he had been
subcontracted by another business and was using the location to work on the boats.
He stated that when he leased the building he asked the owner if he needed to go to
the Village for any permits or any zoning concerns to have his boats outside, and
he was told no, he stated that was his own fault for not checking himself. He
mentioned that he is in the process of getting out of the lease and finding a
different location. He asked if the Village would work with him regarding the
boats that are located outside stating they would be moved by the end of the week
and the only two left will be indoors. The Village Administrator stated that it
would be ok.

14. MAYOR’S COMMENTS
14.1 Mayor’s Comment
The Mayor stated that recently Lake County Chairman Aaron Lawlor made an
announcement that he no longer supports the Route 53 extension due to the
insurmountable political and financial resistance and difficulties surrounding it. He
stated that the Village was very involved with the last set of investigation and that
was with the Environmental Impact Study (EIS). That EIS needed to have a
consensus of the group to move forward to the Tollway commission request to
enter into Phase 1 Development which is at a cost of 40 million. No vote has taken
place on that as of yet, just a consensus. The Mayor has since been contacted by a
Mayor along the 120 bypass corridor that is asking for his support for this EIS and
the Mayor is perplexed on what to do when the state is in such a dire state. The
Mayor asked the Trustees to contact him to discuss. VA Shields mentioned that the
group “120 Vision” which supports improvements from Grayslake to Lakemoor
on Route 120, still meets every month. The Mayor also thanked all those involved
in the Memorial Day Parade.
14.2 Trustee’s Comments
The Trustees also thanked all those involved with the parade, Public Works,
Beatification Committee, Village Clerk and Trustee Rodriguez for supplying
breakfast for everyone
