can be restricted and prevent access to the private street by residents of the Carr
apartments to the west of the subject tract. The manager said a guardrail could be
required if a private street was retained, and the.responsibility for maintenance
lies with the ownership.

be dedicated and sewers installed, but he did not believe that the benefits outweigh
the disadvantages of the additional traffic onto Osterman Avenue.

changes.
Trustee Marty said she felt guidelines should be given out on the parking
of boats and recreational vehicles. Two residents stated they would work on guide-
lines and most campers want to go along with their neighbors.
Trustee Seidman stated he felt an apology was owed to the Plan Commission
by limiting PUDs to R -5 districts; it was the Commission's responsibility to present
to the Board what they thought best for the Village, and not to the residents.
Trustee Gavin said she was disappointed that. PUDs were not permitted in R -1, R -2,
R -3 and R -4 Districts, and it was her opinion that PUDs were a constructive move,
although she was opposed to high -rise buildings.
A resident stated he had been told that Carlisle Avenue would be extended
from Deerfield Road to County Line Road and speeding would result with danger to
children. President Forrest-,saidthe Plan Commission will have a report within the
next few months.
Trustee Seidman moved. seconded by Trustee Marty, that the attorney be directed
to prepare the ordinance for the adoption of the amended Zoning Ordinance.
Motion carried unanimously.
The President said the first presentation of the ordinance would be made at
the April 3rd meeting, with final action to be taken on April 17th.
The meeting was recessed at 9:20 p.m. and re- convened at 9:30 p.m., all
members present.
BZA Report- Denial of Variation A report from the Zoning Board of Appeals
1115 Lampton (Ring) recommended, by unanimous vote, that the
Tabled petition of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ring be denied
for a variation to permit construction of an
addition , leaving a rear yard of 40 feet. The recommendation was based on the fact
that hardship was not shown, they must consider only land and land use, and the
proposed zoning ordinance will permit a rear yard of 40 feet, allowing all in the
area to enjoy the same privilege.
Trustee Swanson moved, seconded by Trustee Marty, that the report of the
Zoning Board of Appeals be accepted.
Mrs. Ring urged the Board to overrule the Board of Zoning Appeals and direct
that an ordinance be prepared authorizing the variation. She said the Zoning Ordin-
ance may not be passed on April 17th, and it was apparent that the Zoning Board of
Appeals felt that the present ordinance was too restrictive.
Motion and second were withdrawn, and Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee
Swanson, that the matter be tabled to the April 17th meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
Table Ordinance The President proposed that the ordinance pro -
No Left Turns- McDonald Driveway hibiting-left.turns.onto Waukegan Road 'from
McDonald's driveway be tabled. He said he
felt a solution to the problem would be forthcoming. He said a traffic engineer
has been retained to review the entire project and explore all possibilities.
He will study traffic and analyze accidents.
Trustee Marty moved seconded by Trustee Swanson, that the ordinance be tabled
to the April 3rd meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
Approve Final Plat Trustee Gavin moved, seconded by Trustee
Lipowich Subdivision Seidman, that the final plat of Lipowich
Subdivision on Gordon Terrace be approved

and execution authorized.
Motion carried unanimously.
The Village engineer recommended that a comprehensive drainage plan should be
prepared at Village expense, the cost to be recaptured when lots are subdivided. He
estimated the cost to be between $1,500 and $2,000.
Proposed Share A Ride Plan Trustee Heisler proposed a Share A Ride program for
commuters. He said that with Edens Highway recon-
stration and parking space limited it was his opinion that this concept should be pro-
moted and something should be done now. He said help would be needed from organizations
to promote the idea. He suggested meeting with Homeowners Associations and service
groups, and offered to chair the meeting. In a memorandum addressed to the Board
he outlined other ideas for a successful program.
Trustee Marty said there is a bus to serve the southwest quadrant and this
section should be excluded in order that people use the bus which may otherwise be
ocosntsed. Trustee fiumFgt�fl suggested that fees for parking be raised. *if mainten-
ance
President will arrange a meeting to discuss the Share A Ride program.
