PZ-25-09 Hearing Date: September 24, 2009 PETITIONER: Village of Mount Prospect PUBLICATION DATE: September 9, 2009 REQUEST: Text Amendment (Chapter 15 - Section 15.301) MEMBERS PRESENT: Richard Rogers, Chair William Beattie Joseph Donnelly Leo Floros Theo Foggy Ronald Roberts Keith Youngquist STAFF MEMBER PRESENT: Brian Simmons, AICP, Deputy Director of Community Development INTERESTED PARTY: None Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Youngquist made a motion to approve the minutes of the July 23,2009 meeting; Mr. Donnelly seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 7-0. After hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-25-09, a Text Amendment for Chapter 15 - Section 15.301 of the Village Code, at 8:31 p.m. Mr. Simmons stated this case was a housekeeping item for Chapter 15 of the Village Code. In 2004, the Village approved some changes to require any adjustments of lot lines between new properties or consolidation of two or more lots that are owned by the same owner to require an administrative plat. This was done so these items would not have to go to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board for approval. Mr. Simmons said this authorized the Director of Community Development to sign off on these types of plats. Mr. Simmons stated Staff recently noticed a conflict with the new section and another language within the Code. The conflict originally stated that if there was a minor change, the item would not have to go through the administrative plat process. Mr. Simmons said the plat process was reviewed with the Village's Legal Division, who made the recommendation that criteria be placed to remove the language. He stated that this has been the Village's practice for the past several years, but the conflict has been found and is being addressed to clean up. Chairman Rogers asked if this has been reviewed by the Village Attorney. Mr. Simmons said the Village Attorney made the recommendation. Chairman Rogers asked if there were any questions for Staff. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve a Text Amendment to modify Sec. 15.301, which would delete subparagraph (B) in its entirety and re-Ietter the subsequent paragraphs accordingly, Case No. PZ-25-09. William Beattie seconded the motion.
