A motion was passed authorizing the grant -back in 1985 and 1986 of the village's portion of municipal taxes to builders of new residential structures on application to the clerk. The taxes must be paid prior to the application, and a new building must be com- pleted to at least the foundation stage by November 1, 1985. Some suggestions had resulted from a meeting with the Industrial and Retail Development committee and developers. Clerk Sharon Baker was asked to write Mario Sirotic to clear up a misunderstanding; he was waiting for action on a zoning change from R2 to R3 to accommodate an apartment building in his subdivi- sion, and the clerk's office was waiting for receipt of a plan. Baker will inform him that as soon as he sends plans for the proposed 15 -unit apartment building on John St. North in his Zurich subdivision, council will begin the necessary procedures to ob- tain a zoning change. Sirotic also requested estimate of the cost of street construction and utility services, which will be includ- ed in the letter. Representatives of the Mothgack subdivision recommended that im- post charges be removed from the subdivision agreement and that sub- division. streets be paved only the usual 22 feet in common with other - residential streets and that no curb- ing be required. Road drainage would be by way of "scratch ditch" only. The developers said if their recom- mendations were accepted, they were prepared to proceed with the necessary agreement and registra- tion of their subdivision and could have building Tots available soon. Council accepted the recommendations. A letter was read from Al Scott. detailing the problems he had on a re- cent rainy weekend when his base- ment flooded. Scott said he suspected illegal hook-ups to the village's sanitary sewers by homeowners draining surface water was the cause of his trouble.
