Parking in Residential Areas
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM. With several
residents present in the audience, the meeting took place in the
form of an open discussion among the members of the JPZ, Village
staff and the audience.
Al Boffice began the discussion by explaining that the current
residential parking regulations allow the parking of any type of
motorized vehicles, tow-type vehicles, boats or similar devices
provided that they are parked on a surface paved with asphalt or
concrete.
Trustee Czarnik explained that the Committee was primarily
concerned with investigating the parking of commercial vehicles
in the residential area. Trustee Lissner identified such
vehicles as dump trucks, landscaping trucks, semis, etc.
Trustee Czarnik questioned the fairness of restricting commercial
vans and trucks which people are allowed to take home as "perks",
when cars for salesmen would never be questioned.
George Knickerbocker explained the Village 's enforcement policy
regarding vehicles overhanging the public sidewalk. Residents in
the audience complained about inoperable vehicles. Steve Schmidt
explained the Police Department 's enforcement policy.

Several residents asked why the Village was even considering
changing the ordinance. Trustees Prochno and Czarnik explained
that several residents had requested the Village to do so
primarily over aesthetic concerns.
Residents suggested allowing parking in the streets. Steve
Schmidt identified several negative effects of parking in the
streets.
It was the consensus of the Committee to leave the regulations
unchanged at this point in time.
Adult Business Ordinance
Attorney Knickerbocker discussed the proposed ordinance and
supplemental material referred to in the ordinance with the
members. The consensus of the Committee was to request that the
full Village Board direct this matter to the Plan Commission for
Public Hearing.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 PM.
