REPORTS
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF PLAN The Plan Commission held a public hearing on
COMMISSION RE REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT July 25th. It is their recommendation that Red
TO A SIGN PLAN TO PERMIT A NEW Roof Inn's request for an amendment to a sign
GROUND SIGN AND TEXT AMENDMENTS TO plan, including the necessary sign modifications
THE ZONING ORDINANCE, RED ROOF INN and text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, be
denied. On a motion to approve, the vote was
2 -2. (Plan Commission rules of procedure require that a matter shall be considered
passed when, a quorum being present, a majority of those members present have voted
in the affirmative.)
Mike Floyd of North American Signs was in
attendance, representing Red Roof Inn. Mr. Floyd explained that Red Roof Inn would
like to modify the existing ground sign (the new sign would be approximately 25
square feet smaller than the existing sign) and add to it a light emitting diode
(L.E.D.) pricer. Red Roof Inn feels the-sign would benefit this facility, which is
under performing. If the sign is effective and improves the site's performance, a
major renovation of the facility will be considered.
After discussion, Trustee Wylie made a motion to
accept the report and recommendation of the Plan Commission. Trustee Rosenthal
seconded the motion. Mayor Harris reminded Board members that a positive vote denies
the petitioner's request. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Ragona, Rosenthal, Seiden, Wylie (4)
NAYS: None (0)
The Red Roof Inn petition is therefore denied.

TRUSTEE IN THE TOWN Trustee Seiden announced that the next Trustee
in the Town will take place on Saturday, August
24th at the Farmers Market. He and Trustee Wylie will represent the Village Board.
MOSQUITO ABATEMENT Mayor Harris announced that the area behind
Deerfield High School will be sprayed shortly.
This should provide relief to football players and their family members who are using
the area.
Mr. Franz reported that the area west of Wilmot
Road is not part of the Southlake Mosquito Abatement District and therefore does not
receive the services that are performed for the remainder of the Village by Clarke
Mosquito Control. Due to the West Nile Virus, Clarke Mosquito Control is urging the
Village to use their services west of Wilmot Road also, at a cost of $2,882.88.
Trustees agreed that the services should be approved and performed, but that
residents of that area should be advised that they need to take the necessary steps
to become part of the mosquito abatement district and pay their fair share of costs
thru their property taxes.
