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, CATV Ordinance Discussion and Trustee Schleicher's comments. form, protects the Village from any that should be. regulated. The manager reported that a in Skokie on May 11, 1966. He wfl1 Schleicher if possible. The Village attorney reported he had reviewed the proposed-CATV ordinance He said the ordinance was in satisfactory liability, and appears to cover all matters searing on a CATV ordinance would be held attend the hearing, as will Trustee Trustee Schleicher pointed out that the proposed ordinance prohibits the granting of a franchise to a TV dealer, and suggested that this provision• b e considered carefully by the Board. He and Trustee Craig both stated it 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 report on the Skokie hearing on CATV ordinances at the next meeting. The certified letter cation for a CATV franchise to file with other applicat BZA Report - Kroger Parking Vatiatbon John Jursich for a proposed denied by a vote of 3 to I. from Mr. Amelio Fragassi, asking that his appli- be given consideration was given to the manager ions, all applicants to be notified of any hearing. 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.
