Residential Zoning Variation - 97 Keswick
The petitioner, Sheila Starr presented a diagram
showing the locations of both existing fences and the proposed
fence. She explained that she was seeking a variation for a
solid fence for privacy, and also for safety reasons. She
felt that a chain link fence (which would be permitted in the
same location) would be easy for children to climb and would
therefore be insufficient in terms of safety considerations.
The Committee discussed the intent and purpose of the
fence code, including the setback requirements and line of
site safety concerns.
The consensus of the Committee was to recommend that
the Village Board grant the fence variation request for 97
Keswick.
Parental Responsibility
The Committee reviewed and discussed Senate Bill #1328
which addresses:
-- the sale to and possession of alcoholic beverages
by a minor;
-- fraudulent identification of age, both for
possession and the rendering of such a document
to a minor;
-- use of a residence or other dwellings by a minor
consuming or possessing alcoholic beverages, and
setting forth penalties both for the minor and
parent or other responsible adult if such action
is permitted knowingly by the parent;
-- powers of the local liquor control commissioner.
This legislation was adopted by the General Assembly
and will go into effect on January 9, 1995.
In addition, the Committee reviewed and discussed the
Northwest Municipal Conference Model Parental Responsibility
Ordinance which addresses:
-- liability of parents and minors regarding the
possession of alcoholic beverages or knowingly
allowing them to be served in a residence or
other dwelling;
-- unlawful assembly by minors;
-- curfew and school curfew;
-- weapons.
It was the consensus of the committee to have police
staff engage in a further in-depth comparison of the
aforementioned documents and report on their findings and
recommendations for further consideration.
The meeting adjourned at 8:57 P.M.
