Resolution No. l5-57, a resolution declaring a
policy for the construction of sidewalks in the
Village ~vas read by 'Trustee Willer. A memorandtlm in
connection Hi th the Resolution ,-"Tas read by Trustee
Airey as follows:
Py'e siden t Iiams
Trustee Casterline
'l'rustee Willer
Trustee Schlaver
fTrustee Norris
Tl"ustee Bl"oad
Village Manager Appleby
T'he pr'oposed resolution aD. sideHalk location,
if adopted, l.wuld con tinue "I'::;he prac ti. ce 0 f exc eption
based on personal preferences. I mrr opposed to the
1)l.J.rpose of the resolution and the practical effect 0:
application of it in the co:mmuI1ity. 'lhe reasons for
my opposition are listed below:
1. 'lihe requirement of a parkll\Tay sidewalk
system for resident:'Lal propE.;rt:v is not merely the
preference of this or preceeding Boards. It is
based on years of municipal experience, advice and
recorrnnenda tion s of' land planner, engineers, and sub-
division plaD~Gers. To permit occasional curb walks
is not being consistent in our policy. Not being
consistent is the very reason for our current side-
irJalk problems. It is OlJI' duty to bo persistant 1'01'
the r:i.ght in OUI' belief.
2. If f'rom the advj ce and experience of mu..Yl-
icipalities, planners, engineers and from its own
observations., this Board is satisfied that the
proper placement of ~mblic side"t-Jalk is a location
mvay from the curb line, it is then incuIa'oent upon
July 23, 1957
,r) ('~ ...-~
'l.) :L: ty
this Board to act in its best judgement and defeat the
resolutioJl.
3. The resohltion continues the requirement of
parkway sidewalks in new subdivisions. This is in
the public interest and welfare and should apply
equally to the public intel"est and Helfare in exist-
ina oroDertl."es as well as new. I see no distinction
-....-O..l..... .
between the Helfare and benefit in one location as
against another in residential property.
4. In the practical application of the proposed
resolution it will in actuality grant exceptions to a
limited, almost specific, group of citizens in certain
areas. In this instance, and due to the nature of
the Village I s case and the history of the sidewalk
progrma, f feel that a concession to a few, as this
resolution "irJOuld provide, should be completely un-
acceptable to thi s Board and to the publie, part:1eul-
2-rly to the other ci.tSzens who have been involved by
previous action.
5. The resolution, in my opinion would be an
appeasement of' those who have opposed village require-
ments with the greatest persistence, but not necessar-
ily .\,171. th the sounde st argwnent for changing the l"equJ.re-
ments as provided in the resolution.
6. The resolution would make possible the
establi shment of a double standard Hi thin a given area
ffild would be evidence of preferential consideration of
tb.ose contesting village l"equirements.
7. The Village has obviously been lax in the
past on sidewalk installation enforeement. I believe
the proposed resolution does not properly remedy this
and will only further confuse and perhaps compound
the pl"oble.'n.
8. 'The 1Jllderlying cause for argurnent, in my
opinion, in noarly all cases, is the desire of the
property owner to usurp the public right of ""ray for
private real estate and enhance the appearance of
the property. This should not be a valid and accept-
able CRuse for the Board of ':[irustees to change the
reql.llrements for a fe"\,y ci tiz8ns, by the passing of
the proposed resolution.
The above objections have been list.ed in ',,yhat
I feel is the order of their importance, the latter
being of least significm~ce to the Board. Where
ci tizens have knoHingly acted contrary to village
requir.ements, it should not be required of this B08J."d
to grant exceptions in the citizen I s behalf. I .vJould
11.ot be opposed to sideHalk location variations which
WOUld be fair, practic8.1 and helpful due to physical
or engineering limitations at a given location and
provided the citizen was not negligent in his action
or contributory to the existence of the situation.
In my opinion, the l"esidential real estate in
the village is of such a similar and unj.form nature
that our present parkHay sidelrJalk pattern serves tbe
public adequately anci best and is applicable to alJ.
areas. If, hOHever, this Board .feels that the
public might be better served and better satisfied
with a varj.sd set of sidewalk stan.dards, then it
should be approached from the engineering vieHpoint
as to m.:'Hber of home s served, size of lots, size of
blocks, proxi:mi ty to public inst:i. t"Lltions, traffic and
other condi ti()lls. '.['he considerations should also
include the potential requirements of the village or
other mUll.icipali ty within the right offrJay. Variat:l.ons
based on such factors as the se, and applied u.:.<"dformly,
are the only basis for this Board's action and. not as
designed. by tf'.e resolution.
