REGULATIONS FOR PARKING COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
The meeting was called to order at 8:07 P.M. by Chairman Dill. He proceeded to
explain that the meeting was not intended to be a fact-finding meeting, and
further explained the process that would be followed to provide a
recommendation to the Village Board.
Chairman Dill explained that the current proposal differed from the first draft due
to the addition of a provision that would allow the daytime parking of school
busses. He then read a statement that summarized the proposed regulations.
Mr. Boftice read the actual text of the entire draft proposal. Further discussion
among the Committee members clarified the correlation between the proposed
regulations and license plate classification, and also the fact that the regulations
did not prohibit taxi cabs.
Chairman Dill asked the audience for comments. Several attendees expressed
displeasure over any regulations being passed that might affect small
businesses, even though the proposed regulations would not apply to them.
Other topics such as effect on property values, tandem axle trailers and varying
types of vehicles were discussed to clarify which types of vehicles would be
prohibited by the new regulations. Mr. Boffice explained that the regulations
were not designed to discourage small business, but rather to prohibit
commercial vehicles and equipment in residential front yards that are
inappropriate for residential areas.
Mr. Trudan was asked for clarification of the limitation of tandem axle trailers to
20 feet in length. He explained that it was due to the direct correlation between
the number of axles and the size of the vehicle being trailered. He also offered
his observation that since everyone in the audience seemed to agree that some
limitations may be appropriate, and that the proposed regulations would not
affect anyone in the audience, it appeared that the committee was headed in the
right direction.
Trustee Prochno asked if the committee considered the negative impact the
regulations might have on tow trucks that were parked in residential districts,
which were contracted by the Village for emergency towing services. She asked
if there might be special consideration for such vehicles. Mr. Boffice indicated
that many service-oriented businesses including, but not limited to, plumbing,
HVAC and electrical contractors also provided emergency services.
Consequently, the emergency nature of such business may not be a practical
reason for special consideration.
After further discussion it was decided that the meeting would be continued to a
later date to allow staff to research what other communities do with respect to
limiting the total number of commercial vehicles permitted on a lot, and whether
or not other communities provide special consideration for tow trucks contracted
for emergency towing services. It would also allow adequate time to make
changes to the draft regulations limiting the length of permitted school busses
and clarifying how length measurements would be performed on a tandem axle
trailers attached to a vehicle.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
C: Mayor and Board of Trustees, Chairman and Members Plan Commission,
Village Clerk, Village Manager, Assistant Village Manager, Assistant to the
Village Manager, Director of Engineering & Community Development,
Village Attorney, Chairman and Members Zoning Board of Appeals.
