Mr. Dembrowski requested the Village to look into a restriction of a weight limit on Landmeier Road, so that he and his neighbors would not be subjected to the sight, smell, dirt and noise generated by the heavy traffic . It was suggested that the Village assume ownership and maintenance of Landmeier Road from the County so that weight restrictions could be imposed. 6 10-25-94 The Village Manager responded that the Village has asked the County to install signage imposing weight restrictions which were removed when construction began on Landmeier Road. The County stated no, they would not invest the money to restrict traffic . The County did not indicate to the Village that by assuming ownership and maintenance of the road the Village could impose weight restrictions . President Gallitano responded that the Village would attempt to revisit the issue of the signage and the prohibition of heavy truck traffic on that roadway. The Village will look at the ability of the County to honor that request and honor some kind of truck and weight restrictions . For the Village to take over the ownership of that road would be a tremendous impact on the Village . 18 .
