Boffice, P.E., Director, E/CD Hilda Ingebrigtsen, Director of Finance Trustee Dill called the meeting to order at 7:01 P.M. Vehicle Stickers for the Handicapped Discussion centered on a request from a resident to obtain a reduced fee ($0.50) vehicle sticker since a handicapped child lives in the household. Current Village regulations permit the purchase of a reduced fee ($0.50) vehicle sticker when a vehicle is registered in a handicapped persons name. Since a child is the handicapped individual in the household, the vehicle is not registered in his name and a reduced fee vehicle sticker is not available. Due to potential difficulties in determining vehicle ownership in conjunction with the legal residence of the handicapped individual, as well as the amount of additional record keeping required to permit this request, it was the consensus of the Committee that no changes be made to the Village's current procedures. Business Park Landscape Maintenance The JPZ Committee met and discussed this matter at their May 13, 2002 meeting and since there were no major problems or complaints, determined that no further action would be taken on the subject at that time. Business Park Exterior Maintenance Committee members discussed their impressions of the status of Business Park maintenance obtained from the 2002 ICRC Trolley Tour and a separate tour by Trustees Dill, Czarnik and Director Boffice. Generally, the Park is in fine shape with the exception of a few buildings and several paved areas. It was the Committee's consensus to leave in place the current procedure to enforce maintenance regulations on a complaint basis or when a Village employee identified a substantial problem during their normal course of work. The Committee felt that there was no need, at this time, to hire additional personnel or perform regular systematic inspections and enforcement in the Business Park. Page 2 Residential Teardown Regulations Committee members discussed the growing potential for residential teardowns and requested that information be prepared which would identify what the Village's current zoning regulations would permit on a lot after a teardown and how that compares with a typical home within the community. Drawings will be prepared and presented to the Committee at a later meeting so that the members can identify the extent of possible problems. Parking Variations in Commercial Areas Director Boffice advised the Committee that procedures exist in the Zoning Ordinance which allows for a reduction of required parking spaces and that the Village has recently looked upon such requests favorably. Mr. Boffice also pointed out that depending upon the tenant mix at a development there may appear to be more parking than necessary. Should the tenant mix change however, there could be insufficient parking. The Committee requested that additional information be obtained for presentation at a subsequent meeting. This additional information would include a comparison of the Village's current parking regulations with respect to several surrounding communities as well as draft language which would allow for the construction of a reduced number of parking spaces initially at a site, but with provisions for the land banking of adequate space which could be paved at a later date should additional parking be required.
