This ordinance comes to the Board with no recommendation since
the Committee vote was 1-0-1. This ordinance is based on the
Federal and State regulations and sets guidelines that must be
considered before signs can be installed. Passage of this
ordinance would not be blanket authorization to ull signs that
do not meet the warrants, but to be used to: (1� set guidelines
for the further erection of ► and (2) set guidelines for th
administration to use in studying and making recommendations
regarding the signs now existing. I
The Committee recommends passage of this ordinance by a vote
of 2-0. This ordinance would set the criteria for sight distanc
on all uncontrolled intersections in the Village. Exclusions to
the sight distance obstructi,6ns would be trees as long as they
are trimmed high enough to -Wow visibility, street light poles,
gas lights, etc. The triangle would be measured on the sidewalk
back thirty-five feet and the sight distance ordinance would
apply in this area. No shurbs or plantings over 36" in height
would be allowed, since lives cannot be sacrificed for beauty
and esthetics. I
The Committee recommdnds_,,by a vote of 2-0, to designate the
streets recommended by the Village Engineer and Safety Commission.
These are also the streets recommended in the Crawford, Bunte &
Roden Traffic Survey.
The Committee would like to thank Chief Pairitz for showing the fil
on the firing of fireworks and can realize the fire prevention
concern in this area. An ordinance controlling fireworks •
is being drafted by the Fire Prevention Bureau at this time and wil
be coming to the Board in the near future. I
