Gallitano, Chairman Joseph Bosslet Nancy Czarnik MEMBERS ABSENT None STAFF PRESENT Alan Boffice, Director of Engineering and Community Development COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS Members reviewed photographs and discussed concerns regarding commercial vehicle, boat, camper and recreational vehicles parked in residential areas of the Village noting that many other communities have regulated these types of vehicles by size and/or licensure. In the absence of a consensus relative to regulating these vehicles, it was the Committee's direction to have the pictures of the vehicles circulated to the entire Village Board and to obtain comments from the Board Members at a later date. PARK AND SHOP REZONING - B1 TO B3 Members reviewed the site plan for the proposed Shell Station remodeling and car wash construction. The Park and Shop rezoning is necessary in order for Shell to acquire additional property necessary for their reconstruction. Members voiced concerns over traffic problems created by the car wash indicating that we are pursuing an improvement to Arlington Heights Road to reduce traffic congestion and approval of the car wash will create additional congestion. Committee members agreed to review this item with the full Village Board in order to present and discuss the Committee's concerns. Page 2 PARKING IN B2 - B3 - BUSINESS DISTRICTS The Committee reviewed the proposed parking changes prepared by staff. The Director of Engineering explained that while the proposed changes will bring the village's requirements in line with regulations in adjacent communities, they will not solve the problems of vacant store fronts in shopping centers where there are inadequate parking facilities. The Committee recommended that we encourage developers of such vacant store fronts to obtain tenants with the assurance that the Village will expedite the Zoning Variation process to accommodate their lack of adequate parking.
