FENCE REGULATIONS-ZONING ORDINANCE
The fence regulation proposed by the Plan Commission was clarified
by Thomas Rettenbacher to the JPZ. Chairman Glass iterated that it was
the intention of the Plan Commission to make the fence regulation
consistent throughout the Village.
The issue of legal non-conforming fences that already exist would
be handled if the regulation was passed, and the fence was
unintentionally destroyed. Chairman Petri , of the JPZ, thought it
would be an inconvenience for the resident to have to ask for a
variation from the ZBA everytime this occurred. Clark Fulton (PC) felt
that these fences were exceptions, and should be treated as
exceptions. Tom Rettenbacher suggested that these exceptions could be
heard in front of the Village Board. Chairman Petri advised that the
Village Board might not have the time to handle all the cases. John
Glass recommended that the regulation be phrased in a way that the
Building Commissioner would be vested with authority to approve such
exceptions during the permit process.
Ed Hauser was concerned about driveway vision obstruction. Tom
Rettenbacher stated that the 10 foot triangle line of sight supersedes
all else.
A consensus was taken, and the staff was directed to discuss with
the Village Board on July 12 at their regular meeting.
GENERAL
Chairman Glass asked about the status of the Hamilton Lakes
Village Development. Chairman Petri stated at the present time he had
no new information.
DEVON AVENUE CORRIDOR
Chairman Glass advised the JPZ that the Plan Commission closed
discussion on the Devon Avenue Corridor. Chairman Petri stated that it
was back in the JPZ Committee. He also explained that the JPZ was
disappointed with Rolf Campbell 's presentation, and due to conflicting
meetings, the members of the JPZ were unable to attend all the
meetings. Chairman Petri felt the entire proceedings could have been
handled better on all sides.
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The Plan Commission expressed their concerns over the development
of the Hamilton Manor Apartments. Chairman Petri was concerned about
the Days Inn screening, and warned Tom Rettenbacher to be on the
lookout during the permit process.
An update on 751 Lively Blvd. was given to the Plan Commission and
JPZ by Tom Rettenbacher. Mr. Rettenbacher stated that up to this date
there were too many faults with the project.
The JPZ left at 9:00 p.m. and the Plan Commission stayed on to
finish up some business.
Palmisano Resubdivision, which was dividing one lot into two was
brought in front of the Plan Commission.
When all inquiries were answered pertaining to the subdivision, a
motion was made for approval by Leah Cummins. The motion was seconded
by Dave Paliganoff, and passed unanimously (Mullen absent) .
A copy of a letter written to Chairman Glass by Robin Weaver was
passed out to the members of the Plan Commission. The letter stated
that Mrs. Weaver's resignation from the Village had no connection to
the Devon Avenue Corridor. A copy of the letter was sent to the
Village Attorney, George Knickerbocker, and the original was placed in
the Devon Avenue Corridor file.
