OLD BUSINESS • Mayor Mercurio said that the traffic study by the engineers for Quaker Road is going to cost $2,500. Trustee Flynn asked if this was needed for deciding on the re-zoning. Code Enforcement Officer Cassidy said that it does need to be re-zoned and the developers’ traffic study is unclear to the Village Planning Board. Trustee Flynn asked if the Planning Board needs that study to make a decision, Code Enforcement Officer Cassidy said yes. Police Chief Welch asked why we would use our engineer over the state DOT for this study. Village Administrator Krieger described that this study has a projection on future impact versus a study of what is currently there. Mayor Mercurio asked about Commerce Green being a second exit, Code Enforcement Officer Cassidy said that is not an option. Trustee Lazickas asked about the applicant suppling the information, Code Enforcement Officer Cassidy and Village Administrator Krieger said that the applicant did supply that information but we wat our engineers to verify the accuracy of the report. The Village Board agreed to move forward with it and get a budget adjustment to pay for it.
