Accept P.C. Report A report was received from the Plan Commission,
Re: Vetter St. Dedication recommending that an additional dedication
for Journal Court be obtained from the John
Vetter property to implement the parking and traffic flow plan heretofore
adopted. Trustee Smith moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the Plan Commission's
'report be accepted.
Motion carried unanimously.
LO
Re: Vetter Variation Mr. Richard Ross, attorney for the John Vetter
+..� Request b Dedication Estate, stated a variation had been requested
to permit the construction of an apartment
U building under the old requ•i.rement of 1500 sq. ft. of -lot area per dwelling
V unit. The Board of Zoning Appeals had recommended denial of the petition,
and proposed a variation based on 2000 sq. ft. of lot area per dwelling
unit, decreasing the number of units which could be constructed from 10
to 7. He stated his client had indicated he would be willing to settle
for 8 units.
He pointed out the existing 33 ft. street dedication at the rear of
the Vetter property would permit the construction of a standard width
pavement, and the dedication of an additional 30 ft. was unnecessary. The
dedication would reduce the lot area by more than 3000 sq. ft., making it
impossible to construct a multiple family dwelling on the property and
maintain required rear and side yards. He stated it was his understanding
that the Park District was unwilling to give any park land for the proposed
street.
Discussion was had on the parking and street master plan relative tc
the Journal Court area, and it was reasonable to assume that at least
three more properties would be developed for multiple family use, resulting
in a substantial amount of traffic from the apartment dwellers in addition
to the traffic by- passing the main intersection.
The Building Commissioner was requested to prepare a drawing showing
existing dedications, lots, and other pertinent data for the area between
the Village Hall and Journal Court.
Report- Downspout Disconnections The report on the downspout disconnection
.i program showed that compliance with orders
to disconnect has been obtained for 239 residences out of the 260 residences
found to be contributing storm water to the sanitary sewer system. Action
is being taken on the 21 violations by Court prosecution in 2 cases, ends
letters from the attorney or follow -up letters from the Village for the.
remainder. Public Works Department employees will smoke test another
section of the Village this week. Approximately one -third of the Village
has been tested, with outstanding cooperation in compliance. Trustee
Smith suggested the testing program be stepped up.
