New Development Code

The staff is requesting that the Board waive the se.c.o~pd reading of the ordinance
adopting the new Development COde and its ancillary provisions as prepared by the Village
staff. Since there have been no substantive changes since the last Village Board review and
since the document is 250 pages, the staff has not attached the Ordinance to this Memo.
If any Board member wishes to review the ordinance, it is available from the Clerk's
office or from my secretary, Holly. The only change that I have currently made to the staff
draft is to cite all fees, bonds and penalties to the appropriate section of Appendix A, our fee,
bond and penalty schedule. Because of the importance of adopting these critical revisions in
a timely fashion (to use them for this permit season), my notations are handwritten on the
staff draft. Bearin mind thatthese notations are not substantive, they are only made forthe
purpose of assuring that the new provisions track with our current Appendix A. The Mayor will
have a clean execution original that properly incorporates my notations.
At such time as the new chapters and section designations have been completely
incorporated into our Appendix A, I will once again tender the Development Code to the
Village Board for reapproval with those new designations.
I apologize for requesting this two step process, but it will enable the staff to begin
implementing the new Code immediately.

VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
PROJECT ENGINEER CHUCK LINDELOF
MAY 1,2002
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE MODIFICATIONS
BACKGROUND
In 1998 several problems were identified in the process in place to review and approve
building permits. Not only was the process lengthy and confusing for the applicant, but the
Code itself made applying and enforcing Village Ordinances difficult. In response to these
problems, the Village Board has directed Staffto reexamine the entire construction process
from. initial application through final-accep/~ance. -To fulfill this directive, the following
actions 'have been taken:
- The position of "Plans Examiner" was created in order to better manage the permit
process, and provide better and quicker response to applicants. This also
eliminated the need for a sign-off by Public Works on m6st "walk-thru" permits,
thereby allowing them to be processed solely at Village Hall.
- An additional Project Engineer was hired to better distribute the wpr_kload amongst
Staff in order to reduce the permit review time.
In addition to those actions listed above, in 1999, Staff began the task o~= reevaluating the
Chapter 16 of the Village Ordinances, better known as the "Development Code". The
"Development Code" governs site related development and construction standards.
Modifications have been made to Chapter 16 as well as other chapters of the Code as the
nature of development has changed over the years from open land development to infilling
and downtown redevelopment projects. These intermittent code modifications have been
difficult to apply to the various types of development projects we see on a daily basis for
a variety of reasons, including but not limited to confusing organization, vague
improvement requirements, and conflicting or out of date construction standards.
The first step in improving the Development Code was taken last June when the first Code
modifications were presented to the Village Board. These changes defined the scopes of
"Developments", "Site Improvements", and "Maintenance", and detailed the permit and
construction requirements associated with each. The Village Board approved these
changes last July.

Proposed Development Code Modifications
May 1,2002
DISCUSSION
We have now completed the second part of the task by addressing the remaining
concerns with the Development Code, specifically the reorganization of the chapters to
eliminate redundant or conflicting information concerning site construction requirements.
To that end, the current Development Code will be split into two chapters 15 and 16.
Chapter 15 will contain all subdivision, development, and site improvement procedures.
(The current code shows Chapter 15 as "reserved"). This chapter also includes
information detailing all aspects of the permit process, and intended to make the entire
Code more "user friendly". Chapter 16 will be dedicated to site construction standards.
Two other chapters, 9 and 22 will be completely reorganized so that pertinent sections
can be included in the development code and redundant information eliminated. These
four chapters will be identified as follows:
Current Chapter Title
Proposed Chapter Title
Chapter 9: "Streets & Sidewalks"
"Village Utility, Street, and
Tree Regulations"
Chapter 15: -- reserved --
"Subdivision, Development
'and Site I.mprovement'Procedures"
Chapter 16: "Development"
"Site Construction Standards"
Chapter 22: "Water, Sewer, and
Floodplain Regulations"
"Floodplain Regulations"
Minor changes will also be made to Chapter 14, "Zoning"; Chapter 18, "Traffic"; Chapter
21, "Building Code"; and Chapter 24, "Fire Prevention Code" to provide consistency
throughout the Village Code.
Finally, during the process of reorganizing the Code, we have taken the opportunity and
time to reexamine the content of the Code. Most of the Code is current, dear, and needed
no additional modifications. However, where we identified out of date regulations or
standards, inconsistencies, or other problems, these have been corrected. Some of the
changes in the content of the Code include:
- Elimination of the Private Development Completion Guarantee.
(Current Section 16.607; Proposed Section n/a)
- Sight triangles have been better defined to reflect national design standards.
(Current Sections 9.105, 9.117, and 14.2401; Proposed Section 9.308)
- Sprinkling bans have been changed to allow even numbered addresses on even
numbered days, and odd numbered addresses on odd numbered days.
(Current Section 22.405.2.A.1; Proposed Section 9.406.B.1 .a)
age 3
Proposed Development Code Modifications
May 1, 2002
- The policy of assisting residents with the restoration work within the public right of way
associated with sanitary service repair has been incorporated in the Code.
(Current Section n/a; Proposed Section 9.504.D)
- The requirement that detention ponds be located a minimum of 25' from a building has
been eliminated. (Current Section 16.405.F; Proposed Section n/a)
- Fees for reinspections for Certificates of Occupancy and Completion have been
instituted. (Current Section n/a; Proposed Section 15.702.D.3)
The measures listed above have allowed the maximum review time for a site
development to be reduced from sixty (60) days to thirty (30) days.
(Current Section 16.302.C. 1; Proposed Section 15.403.C. 1 )
These proposed modifications to the Village Codes were brought before the Economic
Development Commission on February 7, 2002, and before the Planning and Zoning
Commission on February 14, 2002. Both commissions expressed support for the
proposed changes.
RECOMMENDATION
We believe that these proposed changes to the Development Code make the Code easier
to use for developers, designers, and contractors, as well as for Staff. For that reason we
recommend approving agd adopting the proposed changes to the Development Code.
The changes to the Village Code discussed in this memo were presented at th'e Committee
of the Whole Meeting on April 9, 2002, and received a favorable response. It is therefore
our intent to present these changes for a first reading at the Village Boar~d meeting on May
7, 2002. Appropriate Village staff will be on hand to answer any questions that you or the
Village Board may have.

Dear Mr. Cooney,
Attached are Revised plans sheet A1 & L1 for your review.
The following changes have been made addressing the Village Boards
recommendations and the concerns of the adjacent homeowners.
The perimeter fence was revised as a wrought iron type metal fence
with intermittent masonry piers. The comers of the property will be
solid masonry with a masonry sign wall at the south entry. Additional
landscaping was added to the exterior of the fence.
The fence on the North side of the property was moved to the edge of
the new driveway curb, and 6'-0" high arborvitae was added along the
property line to screen the property owner directly to the North.
12'-0" X 8'-0" patio decks were added to the rear of each unit.
The driveway was reduced to 20'-0" wide with an additional five
furore parallel parking spaces indicated. The driveway entrances were
left at 24'-0" wide.
Please feel free to contact our office if there are any other items you require.
Sincerely ,
