The President 'signed the ordinance indicating his approval thereof.
Discussion - Livery The manager reported that he had investigated
Service Licenses the livery licensing ordinances and enforcement
policies of nearby communities, as requested
by the Board. He stated that Northbrook's new Code.has no ordinance regulating
livery serv;iees; Highland Park licenses the livery services whose offices
are located in the city and permits other services to pick up or deliver
passengers, but not both. Lake Forest licenses and inspects the vehicles and
drivers of livery services maintaining offices in the city, and had no com-
plaints regarding other services.
The Village attorney reported that the Village has authority to license
and regulate livery serVi.Ees under the provisions of the Illinois Municipal Code
and decisions of the Appellate and Supreme:Courts. 116,suggested that one way
to avoid the financial burden of additional license fees to the operators of
livery services, and still provide safe and convenient service to Village
residents, would be to amend the ordinance to provide that it would not apply
to operators of livery services' whose offices are not in the Village if they
are located in a municipality that licenses, enforces and imposes conditions
as restrictive as those provided in the Deerfield ordinance.
After a brief discussion, decision was made that the Village attorney
be requested to prepare an amending ordinance as proposed, and it be presented
at the next regular meeting. Trustee Raff suggested that copies be sent to
the operators.
Trustee Craig entered the meeting at 8 :50 p.m. and was present thereafter.
w
Ut Presentation - Ordinance The manager reported an ordinance had
Wilmot Sewer Recapture been prepared to establish special
connection fees for.service to
properties on the east side of Wilmot Road to reimburse Valente Builders, Inc.
for part of the cost of the sanitary sewer to.be constructed by the company
on the west side of WilmotRoad. He stated the cost had been reduced from
$4.10 to $2.93.per lineal foot of frontage to be served by the said sewer,
which was based on the actual construction cost, and was considered fair
and equitable by the property owners. The ordinance was.read in full.
Trustee Raff questioned the provision in the ordinance which indicated
that the sewer was accepted and would be maintained by the Village, and
proposed that a time limit be written into the ordinance for collection
of the special.charges. Mr. Houpt stated the ordinance.could be adopted
after the main is accepted, and a time limitation could be-included. The
building commissioner stated that some owners wanted to connect as soon as
the sewer is installed. Decision was made to discuss the matter at the next
workship meeting, and it was considered a first presentation of the ordinance,

would be well to go slow on the adoption of the ordinance, although Trustee
Schleicher proposed the ordinance might be prepared i'n semi -final form, copies
to be given to prospective franchisees. President Finney asked that the manager

from Mr. Amelio Fragassi, asking that his appli-

The report of the Board of Zoning
Appeals was read recommending that the
parking variation requested by Mr.
Kroger and drug store at 727 Waukegan Road be
Mr. Jursich addressed the Board, stating; that evidence introduced
at the public hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals was sufficient to
show particular hardship and practical difficulties in the 'development of
the property. He said the lot area is sufficient for the construction of
the Kroger and drug stores with parking for 137 cars as required by ordinance;
however the shape of the lot with 9 corners, none of which are right angles,
precludes the most efficient layout of store location and parking areas, and
parking spaces for 120 cars is the most that can be provided. He pointed
out that the variation is only a 12% decrease from ordinance requirements,
one parking stall Tor eacn 114 square teet ot.sales area iiisLead of one stall
Tor eacn 100 square teet. Parking requirements in 20 nearby municipalities
were read, all less than Deerfield's.
Mr. K. W. Parish of the Kroger Company stated the store area could
not be reduced further; that 90 parking stalls were sufficient for their
needs since the proposed use of the property is for only a food store and
a drug store, and not the multiplicity of stores in a Shopping Center with
its longer use of parking spaces; and the site plan presented was the best
and most efficient of the nine layouts prepared by the company's experts.
Mr. Robert Seiler, Chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, enlarged
upon the the Board's recommendation for denial, stating the property could
be used, if not by Krogers by some other store or group of stores, and the
Zoning Board was not convinced that the proposed plan could not be improved.
73
Trustees Raff and Smith expressed concern.about setting a precedent
for parking variations if the present petition for a variation is granted.
Trustee Schleicher pointed out that the Village has expended Village funds
to improve parking in three quadrants of the central business district, and
that there is little public parking in the southeast quadrant where the pro-
posed food -drug store is proposed. He added that only three of the seven
member Board coted to deny the petition, one voted in favor of the petition,
one had abstained, and two were absent.
Mr. Richard Gilbert, Central Avenue, stated;ihe was neither for or against
the petition since he did not know all the details; however, he pointed out
that the Village had purchased the Deerfield Road entrance to the Deerfield
Commons, had cooperated with the National Tea and Bethlehem Church to acquire
parking space in the northeast quadrant, and was in the.process of condemning
land to open up parking in the northwest quadrant. Je said that a variation
that would provide 120 more parking spaces might prove to be very desirable
since the company spokesman indicated that more spaces would be provided
than are necessary for their stores, and would help to alleviate the parking
deficiency,in the central business district. He stated Deerfield residents
often goe to Northbrook to shop due to the crowded parking conditions in
the Commons, resulting in a sales tax loss to the Village.
C7 After further discussion, Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Forrest,
1lJ
that the report of the Board of Zoning Appeals be accepted.
W
U Motion carried unanimously.
V
Trustee Schleicher moved that the variation be granted. The motion
failed for lack of a second.
Refer Parking Requirements Trustee Craig stated he had been impressed
to Plan Commission with Mr. Jursich's arguments and felt it might
be well to re- examine the Village's parking
requirements. He then moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the Plan
Commission be requested to review the parking requirements with respect to the
types of businesses and the character of the total commercial development.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Village attorney reported that Arlington Heights, with;:7,a business
district largely developed, permits an owner to pay a set price for each parking
space, and these funds are then used by the municipality to acquire public
parking lots.
Approve Temp. Trailer & Sign Mr. Richard Harris, owner of the Mobil Service
Mobil Station -750 Waukegan Station at 750 Waukegn Road, asked for per -
mssion to park a trailer advertising a carload
sale of tires at his station until May 11, 1966 when the sale will end. The
building commissioner stated that the trailer and signs were a violation of
the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Harris said the trailer was parked on his property
to serve as an advertising sign for the tire sale, and the tires in the trailer
were not his. Trustee Craig stated that, although there was nothing illegal
in parking a trailer in the business district he would move that a tempbr.ary
permit be granted to allow the trailer to be parked at 750 Waukegan Road,
enabling the Mobil Station to advertise the tire sale. Seconded by Trustee
Smith.
Motion carried unanimously.
