Regular Council Meeting 9-18-00 Page 10 Council President Marquardt asked if there were any comments. Mr. Ilacqua said he would like to discuss his position on this since he has obviously given this matter a great deal of attention. Reflecting on all that has been discussed on S.O.M. [Committee] and what we are putting forthwith this recommendation, Councilman Buckholtz and Mayor Rinker have pointed out what Mr. Abate's polling has suggested. It was also suggested that 10 of 14 of the folks he spoke with were not in favor of a median; 3 of those 10 could live with a median if they had full access to their driveway. The most heartfelt response he has received regarding a median is from Ken Zako whose property sits well back from S.O.M. Mr. Zako said he thinks it would be a beautification. Mr. Ilacqua said beyond that, all he heard was that I could live with it if I could access my driveway. He has discussed this with Mayor Rinker. If we put a median north of the Church running to White, it could serve as a gateway to the community in the northern end of the Village and show residents what exactly this Village is capable of accomplishing (via landscaping, via other architectural design projects we could do with the median.) We still have development going on in the northern quadrant (with the Goldberg property and with Progressive continuing to be occupied.) There is no one that says we can't come back and readdress putting more medians in down the road if we have good luck with the one in the northern end. Mr. Ilacqua said he is very comfortable with the consideration he has given, his vote remains consistent as it has throughout the entire process and he has confidence in the way he is voting tonight. Mr. Buckholtz said he is confused on how to vote; does it matter how he votes now? Mr. Ilacqua said Option #1.was never brought to the table; Option #2 was voted against and there has been no vote cast on Option #3. Council President Marquardt asked if there were any comments. There was no further discussion. Roll Call: AYES: Mr. Buckholtz, Mr. Busa, Mr. Ilacqua, Mr. Marquardt, Dr. Parker NAYS: Mrs. Cinco, Mrs. Motion Carried Option #3 Passed--for a Median on S.O.M.
