Alarm Ordinance
Proposed ordnance .drafted by village attorney and statistical data from
police department was reviewed by Committee. Discussion ensued as to
advisability of having such an ordinance and its intent (to reduce the
nuTber of false alarms) . Fire department staff present indicated their
inclusion in the ordinance was not necessary at this time, except that
portion which pertains to automatic dialer prohibition. Further dis-
cussion relative to mechanics of licensing, enforcement, and penalty
provisions followed; these aspects will be administered jointy by police
department and Clerk's Office. The Committee unanimously recommended
passage of the ordinance after certain specifics were addressed and
responded to by staff or the village attorney. Village attorney rec-
omcrended public hearing be held and communication advising of proposed
ordinance be forwarded to Greater O'Hare Association for their infor-
mation. In the interim, draft of proposed ordinance will be disseminated
to President and Board of Trustees. The tentative date mentioned for
public hearing was February 23, 1982 at 7:00 P.M.
Lotteries & Raffles
Mr. Hauser called the Committee's attention to several newspaper articles
which cited the opinion of the Attorney General's Office and postal
regulations in regard to lotteries. Federal law prohibts use of mail
to deliver lottery tickets or related material. The State Raffle Act
passed last year permits county or municipal governing bodies to license
raffles by certain non profit organization or prohibit raffles altogether
if they so desire. This is an enabling act which sets minim= standards

and is vague at best. In that the proceeds of the raffle in question
would not go totally to a non profit organization the Committee will
recommend no action be taken on this matter, it be taken off their
agenda, and a report nude to the President and Board of Trustees.
Retail Sales Space Variation - 1400 Higgins
Mr. Bosslet questioned utilization of space as portrayed by the petitioner
after having visited the site. Mr. Hauser expressed concern that the
petitioner had proceeded outside Zoning Ordinance provisions. The
Committee further expressed concern that granting of variation, although
recommended by Zoning Board of Appeals, might tend to erode integrity
of industrial zoning. The village attorney provided several available
options to resolve this matter and after considerable discussion with
building commissioner the Committee decided to reconvend variation be
granted on a temporary, conditional, limited, restricted basis with the
petitioner being so advised and required to appear before Plan Com-
_mission to request B3 zoning.
Zoning Ordinance Restriction Concerning Retail Use In Industrial Park.
Concern was expressed by Committee that allotting additional retail
space in Industrial Park would/could, in effect, dilute or defeat present
Zoning Ordinance; square footage of buildings and usage has to be given
further consideration. The Committee recommends that the petitioner,
Mr. Klyber of Greater O'Hare Association, and others if they so desire,
appear before them to present further evidence and testimony as to
need for additional retail space. Mr. Bosslet requested the building
commissioner provide the Committee with the number and identity of those
ca,panies currently possessing retail sales licenses.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:44 P.M. No date was established for
next meeting.
