HomeMy WebLinkAboutJPZ - 02/15/1966 - NEW ZONING STATUTE/IL STATE BAS ASSOC MEMORANDUM TO: President lack Pahl
FROM: Trustee G.E. Mullen, Chairman
Legislative Planning & Zoding Committee
RE: New zoning statute prepared by Illinois State Bar
Association
The Committee has carefully reviewed the proposed legislation to re-
vise the Illinois Municipal Zoning Enabling Act, and the specific points
raised by the Illinois Municipal League in their letter which was referred
to us on February 1, 1966. We offer the following comments on the specific
items as listed.
Section A
9. The Committee feels that due to our excellence in maintain-
ing adequate records in all zoning proceedings any require-
ment that we duplicate this service by recording each and
every zoning ordinance amendments with the County Recorder
of Deeds would unnecessarily burden not only the administra.
tive staff of Elk Grove Village but also the Office of the
Cook County Recorder of Deeds. We recommend that the require-
ment to record all zoning ordinance amendments with the County
Recorder of Deeds be ommitted.
10. The Committee feels that since the ultimate responsibility
for proper zoning rests with the corporate authorities, the
option to vest all final decisions in zoning matters to the
corporate authorities should remain. We recommend that the
option to vest all final decisions in zoning matters to the
corporate authorities be included in the new zoning legis] .,1.__.
Section B
5. It is the feeling of this Committee that a zoning board of
appeals should have a majority of the members of that board
in attendance at every public hearing. We recommend that
the provision, permitting a public hearing before one member
of a board of zoning appeals be excluded.
Section C
It is the feeling of this Committee that anyone seeking relief
from a zoning ordinance or from the decision of a municipal
official should not be required to obtain the services of
an attorney. We recommend that any requirements as to form
or wording of an appeal, be made simple enough for the
average layman to prepare and present.

/4rustee Mullen as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, reported that Trustee Lewis
has sent a questionnaire to other communities regarding sign, inspection, tap-in
and other service fees. Replies have been received, some of which require
clarification and have been returned. A preliminary examination indicates that in
some cases the Village fees are the same or below those of other dommunities. A
comprehensive report will be made to the Board when all information has been.
