Meeting Location: Meeting Date and Time: Board Room, 2nd Floor Tuesday, May 28, 1985 112 East Northwest Highway 7:30 p.m. I. CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL V. ZONING VARIATION ANALYSIS In January of this year, the Committee of the Whole asked the administrative staff to review the quantity and quality of Zoning Variances coming before the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Village Board. The Village's intern in the Department of Community of Development has prepared three memorandums covering Zoning Variation procedures, the categories of Variance requests and some suggestions for future streamlining. They are attached for your review and discussion. While it may appear that the Village Board Agenda is crowded with Zoning requests, the Board should keep in mind that it "seesif each request on three different occasions-, First is the recom- mendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, the second is the introduction of the Ordinance for its first reading and the third is the second reading of the Ordinance for final consideration. Thus, the Board may find on a typical Agenda a series of requests from the Zoning Board of Appeals under New Business and a series of Ordinances under Old Business acting upon the recommendations of the Zoning Board of Appeals. In actuality, the Village has had only 85 requests for Variances in the past three years which amounts to 2.4 cases per month. Zoning is a particular authority of local government that has a significant impact upon the future of the community and the quality of life of surrounding property owners. In an effort to streamline our procedures and aid our residents' petitions, the Mayor and Board of Trustees must be vigilant that the resultant efforts are in proportion to the seriousness of the problem and the potential consequences of our actions.
