Members Present were:
Steve Schwellenbach, President
Gayle Bantner
Frank Denny
Tom Hamilton
W. R. Ballard
W. R. Ballard moved for the approval of the preliminary and final plats
of Centex Industrial Park, Unit #92. It was seconded by Frank Denny;
vote was unanimous.
Frank Denny moved that the Commission recommend to the Village Board
the annexation of the Elk Grove motel property as covered by the public
hearing, and further, that the zoning be permitted as commercial. It
was seconded by Gayle Bantner; vote was unanimous.
The Commission then discussed the public hearing of the proposed fence
ordinance. The only thing found worthy in the ordinance is that a
six-foot fence could be permitted. Some of the items which should be
changed in the proposed ordinance are as follows :
1. The type of fence surrounding a swimming pool should
be adequately described since it is a mandatory fence
to be used for the protection of other village resi-
dents.
2. The type of pool . . . i.e. above or below ground should
not be the determining factor in the heighth of the
fence.
3. The depth of a pool, not the capacity in gallons, should
be the determining factor as to whether a fence would be
required or not.
4. The ground level or grade level determination in re-
lationship to adjoining lots is unnecessary and should
be deleted. The ordinance should provide a maximum of
a six-foot fence regardless of ground or grade level of
adjoining lots. If a hardship is created, a variance
could then be requested.
5. The Commission recommends that consideration be given to
creative fences in front yards that extend beyond the
building set back line.
6. If the Village Board is attempting to limit the height
of shrubbery and the location of it on private property,
they should also regulate and take proper action for
shrubbery now existing on public property under their
control. A good illustration would be the intersection
of Tonne and Clearmont.

The Plan Commission recommends to the Village Board that the proposed
pool ordinance be rejected in its entirety and that an appropriate
ordinance be drafted.
