ORDINANCE NO. 1640
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8, SUBDIVISIONS,
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE
VILLAGE BY ADDING THERETO PROVISIONS FOR THE CONTROL

from areas undergoing development endangers the health and
safety of highway users; necessitates the costly repair of
gulleys and embankments; clogs sewers and ditches and pollutes
rivers, lakes and streams; limits the use of waterways for most
beneficial purposes; and reduces the channel capacity of waterways;
and
WHEREAS, the question of amending the Subdivision Control
Ordinance to include provisions for the control of soil erosion
and sedimentation was reviewed by the Plan Commission of the
Village of Elk Grove Village; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village

the opinion that it is in the best interest of the Village that
soil erosion and sedimentation requirements be adopted;
