~~'l . Mr. William Hite, of 6515 Chase Drive,.said for years the problem of the unpaved section of Beechers Brook has been considered but nothing has been done and the road is nearly impassable. The road signs direct people touuse it which only adds to the problems. He would like to ]snow Zahat action can be taken to get this road paved. Also, no plans have been started for the traffic light that was to have been put up because of the traffic increase expected from the Heinen's store. Traffic is a problem now, what will it be after the store opens. Why ca.n't a traffic survey be taken. Nlr. Hovancsek stated the traffic won't increase until the store is opened and until the volume indicates the need the State will not consider it. Mr .. Busa said there will eventually be a light, we just have to keep pushing. Mr. Hite asked why an estimated traffic survey coudln't be submitted based .on the other Heinen stores so the State could be made aware o~_ the need. Mr. Hovancsek said it can be reviewed:and a minimum warrant volume established. Once this f_tigtire is met, then the State will let us adver- tise for bids. Mr . Bus a suggested that the ~ rzb~j ec±:i,,~~ .-,G~~ ought up at the Heinen' s. Com- mittee Meeting scheduled for tomorrow night and then ra'~~~~_s.~tion to take could be considered. ' Mr. Hite asked that further discussion be held on. the Beechers Brook road. Mr. Hovancsek said a~study had been made sometime ago and the street should be paved with concrete comparable to those adjacent streets. The Village would pay for 2/'of the cost .of the intersection and the bene- fiting residents would pay the balance, through assessment.

It cannot be resolved in a gentlemenly manner and felt Council should pave the road asd assess the benefiting property owners.
