CITIZENS’ COMMENTS
Mayor Mitchell thanked the Lincoln Trail TIF Subcommittee for all the work they have done.
PROJECT STATUS
A. LINCOLN TRAIL STREETSCAPE – ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC COUNTS AND MOVEMENTS FOR PACE PROPERTIES
Malloy went over the Traffic Count and Movement report with the subcommittee. Pace Properties would like to
see a four-way stop by DSW and Petco. Right now there is a two-way stop. The subcommittee discussed
putting a flashing yellow light or rumble strip, instead of a four-way stop because the additional stop signs might
cause the traffic to back up on Market Place. Staff is discussing a four-way stop, as proposed with IDOT, to
determine if they concur.
B. PHASE II STREETSCAPE GRANT APPLICATION
Oates and Associates and staff have submitted a grant worth $443,000 through East-West Gateway for Phase II
of the Streetscape. Phase II will cost $750,000. If awarded, the money will be available FY 2018.
C. LINCOLN TRAIL CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Malloy went over the final report from Planning Design Studios (PDS). Funding was adopted January 6, 2015.
This report was submitted for an APA award.
D. DISCUSSION OF SUBCOMMITTEE’S INVOLVEMENT WITH PROPOSED TIF #4 AND TIF #5
This item was on the agenda to discuss whether the Lincoln Trail TIF Subcommittee should become the TIF
Committee for all the TIFs in the city. If the two proposed TIFs pass, there will be five TIFs and an Enterprise
Zone. Philip recommended having a charter so the members would know the duties of the subcommittee.
Malloy also recommended Council passing a resolution. Chairman Baricevic asked the subcommittee to be
prepared to discuss this at the March meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:53 p.m.
Next regular meeting: March 26, 2015, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Alderman Dennis Baricevic
Chairman

RE: J13.12 Fairview Hts - Lincoln Trail Streetscape
Mike - I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
I appreciate your clarification on the signage. That was
obviously a critical point and a question that came up in internal analysis. I think we are good to go. You may consider
this a Pace approval, obviously subject to ongoing reviews of updated plans as the project moves forward to make sure
that everything remains consistent,
The one are of concern that I would like to simply get on the record for further consideration down the line is related to
trees and visibility. More specifically, some or all of the trees on the corner of our main lot may need to be eliminated to
allow for better site lines for those turning left on Marketplace. This is a current problem and I am not sure how the
final design will impact that —- are the cars making the left from Plaza to Marketplace far enough "out" now to be able
to see eastbound approaching traffic clearly?? That little curb in Marketplace has created a bit of a problem. Anyway,
this is something for you consideration and for us to observe moving forward. We assume that the City would work with
us if safety for queued cars was a problem.
I hope this is all you need form me, but please let me know if anything else is required. We look forward to assisting in
bringing the project to fruition. Thank you for all of your assistance to date.
Sincerely,
Rick

Re:
Phase 1 FuncBng - Lincoln Trail Streetscape
Based on the work done within each phase, we have identified a possible
statutory concem in regards to how the proposed budget displays the funding
sources of the four phases of the Streetscape Project (LAND-30 on page 116).
Thus, it's our recommendation to slightly alter the funding sources of the phases.
This would be a simple timeline adjustment as to when the TIF Funds are
utilized versus when the Home Rule Sales Tax funds are used. Upon
completion of the total project, the amount used from each source would be the
same. Our recommendation is the following:

At some point it will require an adjustment to the budget. It doesn't matter if it is
done as part of the approval process underway, or amended at a later time.
Please consider this issue at the next Finance Committee meet*ng.

Subject: Stop Sign-Fairview City Centre
Hey Dan,
We have received numerous complaints about a Stop Sign not being at the Exit of Fairview City Center onto Lincoln Trail.
If you would see that a Stop Sign gets installed we would be most appreciative!
Our numbers for HomeGoods are looking really good. Can't wait till April.May to see what Freshthyme is doing.
Thanks
Mike
