FOR INFORMATION ONLY Committee -of -the -Whole meeting Thursday, July 17, 1975, 14. ADJOURNMENT SERGEANT -AT -ARMS: Police Officer Michael Salatino MINUTES OF THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 14, 1975 AT 8:00 PM Trustee Minton called the meeting to order. Present w we Chairman Minton, and members of the Judiciary Committee, Trustees Wattenberg and Hendricks. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of adoption of an ordinance regulating recreational ve- hicles and/or prohibiting trailer parking within the Village limits. Trustee Minton stated he had contacted other Villages and had obtained copies of ordinances enacted by Roselle, Wheeling, Arlington Heights, and compiled letters from persons voicing opinions pro and con, and has discussed this matter with the Village Attorney, John Zimmermann, with relation to the existing Village code as specified in certain definitions of front yard, side yard, rear yard and open space. A petition was presented to the Judiciary Committee to enact an ordinance prohibiting prolonged parking of trailers. Trustee Minton marked it as an exhibit to be filed as evidence with the material gathered on this is- sue. (See Exhibit "A"). Trustee Minton further stated the meeting would be taped and transcribed for the record. Mr. Bill Farley, 116 N. Emerson, stated there is no need for the proposed ordinance. He listed as prime objections the claim that trailers were ugly, destroyed view and were used as storage facilities. However, he pointed out it is difficult to determine "what is a thing of beauty", and "could be only in the eyes of the beholder". Others spoke but the tape was not audible. Trustee Minton requested a show of hands to determine how many persons were in favor of t'he ordinance. In view of the number present, it was decided to permit those in opposition to voice their opinions. Mr. Bob Ingebrigtsen, 620 S. George, presented an ordinance enacted by Park Ridge, approved June 3, 1975. Trustee Min- ton marked this as Exhibit "B". Mr. Ingebrigtsen stated an ordinance was needed because the use of Private property,) its zoning,,, Its restrictions has become a new problems especially lin the last ten years when these recreational vehicles have become more prevalent. Mr. Hendrickson, 416 S. NaWaTas spoke before the committees but his voice was inaudible and the question he posed could not become a matter of record. Trustee Minton reported copies of the ordinances and petitions will be available for viewing in the Office of the Village Clerk the following day. Mr. Wayne Wright, 402 W. Lonnquist, Blvd,- complained about a 27 -foot mobile home parked ad*1acent to his driveway making it difficult to get out of his car,., During winter- time there was a problem, of snow removal. Mr. Dick Corso, 763 Wood Lanes responded to Mr. Wright's remarks. He asked whether the camper was parked at the side of the house or in the driveway. The reply was in- audible. Considerable discussion followed but apparently the,person did not use the microphone. An unidentified person spoke about the size of the trailer unit relative to the size of the lot. Trustee Minton stated one objection was that trailers - allowed to be parked in driveways, with no time limits perhaps violates the 30 Poor setback requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Another resident spoke about easements. Everett Sykes, 707 S. Louis, said he could only park his camper in his driveway. Mike Taylor -5 200 S. Owen, in order to afford the mobile home, uses his daily to get to and from work, as well as utilizing it as a recreational vehicle while on vacation. Edward Briertys 1110 Linden, owner of a Winnebago trailer, parks, his mobIlIp, unit in his driveway regularly and ob- c Jects to any parking restriction unless it affects the health, safety or m1orad welfare of the community. Mr. Brierty quoted statistics showing that only 1% of the cit- # would be affected by the ordinance. izens of Mount, Prospect � -2- 7/14/75 A second petition was presented and marked as Exhibit "C" but had not been clearly identified. Mr. Brierty further contended that the discussion has evolved around property devaluation and aesthetic values, but neither appeals to justice and property rights. Mr. Fred Olson, 1319 Peartree La. stated the ordinance would be discriminatory and against his constitutional rights. A copy of Constitutional Rights was handed to the Chairman at his request and marked as Exhibit "D". Mr. Robert Rohrback, 618 S. George, questioned the fairness and legality of such restrictions should the ordinance be enacted. Mr. Rohrback, an attorney, stated he would donate his time if it were necessary to bring this matter to court. To store the recreational vehicles elsewhere would be costly and also leave them subject to vandalism. Mr. Rohrback suggested the appointment of an ad hoc committee to study the problem and work on an ordinance with which all could live. Mr. Bill Pierce, 1911 E. Camp McDonald Rd. spoke about the ordinance being "over -control" and felt the problem was a matter between neighbors. He is the owner of a motor home, but sympathizes with those neighbors who have trailers parked where they obstruct views but he supported the idea of an ad hoc committee. Mrs. Audrey Hoff, 6 S. Albert, stated she had been a camper since she was a child. Her family owns a trailer and it is kept 150 miles from her home because of the inconvenience of traveling with it. The problem of storage arises, to park it at home would mean the removal of trees and shrubbery. There is a box trailer which has been stored in their garage. Mr. R. Kaplan, 503 S. NaWaTa, compared the restriction on the height of fences within the Village and stated what is really needed is a little consideration for the neighbor. James Ward, 1131 Juniper Lane, spoke about communication between neighbors. Those who expressed the opinion that campers are unsightly are only voicing their own ideas and an opinion should not be made into a law. -3- 7/14/75 Eileen Rohrbacks next door neighbor of the Ingebrigtsensg and owner of the trailer, stated if the motor home ob- jection had been made known, they would have attempted to solve the problem with their neighbors. She further brought up the Village charge of $15.00 for a vehicle sticker for the recreational vehicle and questioned the legality of passage of an ordinance prohibiting parking, within the Village. An unidentified citizens compared an ordinance banning trucks to be parked in a driveway and a motorized homes which he would also object to for the same reason. He further objected to putting a "barricade" in front of his view if the mobile home were parked in his neighbor's driveway. Tod Fuchs, 19.16 Yuma, questioned the amount of revenue the Vil- lage received from . the licensing of recreational vehiclesq and the Chairman stated he would obtain the information. Marlene Stroberg$ 601 Bunting Lane3o presented a petition which was marked as Exhibit G and contained 103 signatures. The persons stated their objection to the enactment of an ordinance. Exhibit H was presented, but the quality of sound on the tape recorder made it unidentifiable, except that it was noted that it opposed the passage of the ordinance pro- hibiting parking of motorized vehicles5 boatss trailersq etc. on private property. It contained approximately 50 signatures. At thispoint,the meeting was turned over for presentation of slides upon the use of recreational vehicles. The pic- tures were all taken within the Village limits. To summarize, Trustee Minton, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committees stated that he volunteered to consider the matter of recreational vehicles and the review of an ordinance. He felt the recommendation of formation of an ad hoc group was -,-a valuable alternative to an ordinance. The ad hoc committee can hear complaints on an informal basis and the services of the Village Attorney would not be used. He stated he was in favor of an ordinance creat- ing such a commission and requested names of persons be left with the Judiciary Committee members if they wished to serve on the commission. Trustee Wattenberg noted that the majority of persons present at the meeting were opposed to any ordinance regu- lating the parking of trailers and mobile homes, etc. He requested that people wishing to express other opinions -4- 7/14/75 would contact him because if he did not hear from them his mind would be made up in opposition to any regulatory ordinance regarding recreational vehicles. Trustee Hendricks 'stated that the issue is controversial and the problem is communication between people. He suggested the ad hoc committee be formed of nine members, four members for and four members opposed, and the other member a member of the Judiciary Committee. Trustee Minton stated he would make a specific recommend- ation to the Village Board as to the fact an ordinance not be drafted which would prohi-bit parking of recreational vehicles, and further to report that such an ordinance is not necessary. Lastly, he would recommend the Board en- act an ordinance giving tne power of the committee to handle complaints of homeowners. Village Attorney John Zimmermann referred residents to the Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance and its restrictions on rear yards, front yards and side yards and open space. He also stated a large part of the problem was communica- tion between neighbors. Trustee Minton polled the Judiciary Committee and it was recommended that the report would request approval of the establishment of an ad hoc committee comprised of a number of citizens, yet to be determined, to hear complaints of homeowners. This recommendation would be made at the next regular Board Meeting, July 15, 1975. MARIE T.

Northwest Highway Mount Prospect, Illinois 50056 312-3S2-SOOO M E M 0 R A N D U M To: Mayor & Board of Trustees FROM: Trustee Michael H. Minton, Chairman, Judiciary Committee SUBJECT: Judiciary Committee Meeting 7-14-75 DATE: July 28, 1975 Present: Chairman M. Minton -r Trustees R. Hendricks & T. Wattenberg Also Present: Village Attorney John Zimmermann The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the feasibility of the enactment or adoption of an ordinance regulating recreational vehicles and/or prohibiting the parking of same within the Village limits. The meeting commenced at 8:00 P.M. and terminated at approximately ll. -15 P.M. Approximately 160 homeowners attended, with 20-25 offering testimony. At the outset of the meeting it was determined by a show of hands that the majority of those present were owners of recreational vehicles and opposed the enactment of any type of ordinance whatsoever. In order to expedite this report, the minutes of the Judiciary Committee meeting are attached to this report. It is evident that due to mechanical failure much of the testimony taken was not transcribed or summarized. Accordingly, as Chairman, I have summarized in the following paragraphs what I gleaned to be the most important points made by those both in favor of the ordinance and against the ordinance. I have filed the fol ' lowing exhibits with'the Clerk of the Village for the review and inspection of the residents and members of the Board. - EXHIBITS EXHIBIT SUBJECT: A 500 signatures on petition in opposition to recreational vehicles and in favor of controlling the parking of recreational vehicles on residential property, with cover letter from Mr. & Mrs. Robert Ingebrigtsen, 620 S. George Street. B Minutes of the Park Ridge Committee of the Whole meeting for the review of an ordinance regarding parking. Judiciary Committee Meeting 7-14.75 Page 2. EXHIBIT SUBJECT: C Typed statement and petitions submitted by Edward Brierty, 110 Linden Lane, in Opposition, to the ordinance and in opposi- tion to the validity of the Petition submitted by Mr. & Mrs. Ingebrigtsen. D An article from Trailer Travel, dated January, 1971 regardIng Storage/Your Constitutional Rights. E Petitions filed in opposition to the pro- posed ordinance and stating that said ordinance is unjust as a restriction of one's rights as a citizen, property owner and taxpayer. F Legal cites and authorities regarding the alleged unconstituionallity of said ordinance ,if enacted, along with citations from various courts regarding the enactment of such an ordinance and how it affects the residents of the Village. G Petition filed in opposizion to an ordinance regulating or restricting the parking of recreational vehicles. H Petition in Opposition to the ordinance pro- hibitihg or restricting the parking of recreational vehicles. The foregoing are the exhibits which were marked and introduced into the record of the hearing before the Judiciary Committee. In addition, a packet prepared by the Chairman was given to each memberof the Board at the last regularly scheduled Board meeting regarding the correspondence which has transpired relative to thi�s ordinance,, selected newspaper clippings and letters, and model codes from neighboring towns, including the Villages of R,osel,le, Wheeling', Arlington Heights, City of Park Ridge, and, the minutes of the Judiciary Committee meeting of 6-9-75 wherein this ordinance was discussed at that time. The Board members have had an opportunity to review the contents of the packet submitted by Trustee Minton. In addition to the minutes which were summarized by the Deputy Village Clerk, the following testimony can now be summarized for the Board's consideration: Judiciary Committee Meeting 7-14-75 Page 3. Various homeowners who objected to the proposed ordinance reache the following conclusions: 1. The ownership of a recreational vehicle is a constitutional right and may not be abridged unless it clearly affects the health or welfare of the residents of the Village. 2. In the age of increasing costs, the ownership of a recreational vehicle affords an inexpensive vacation while promoting family togetherness and family way of life. It enables the family to schedule outings together and to view our fast diminishing countryside and to live in nature, or, as some residents stated, "as God intended us all to do". 3. The people who own recreational vehicles as well as boats and snowmobiles have a "pride in ownership, which is evident by the care which they extend to the maintenance of their recreational vehicles and also their homes". It was further stated that these people have a pride in ownership which the average homeowner does not have to the same degree. 4. The owners of recreational vehicles are responsible citizens, and in the event that the parking of the recreational vehicle interferes with the way of life of a neighbor, most of them can and will make adjustments in order to facilitate a solution to any problem which may arise. The objections to the parking of recreational vehicles can be summarized as follows; 1. The Village of Mount Prospect is a residential Village and the recreational vehicles are increasing and destroy the character of our Village and the view of neighboring homeowners. 2. The sight of a recreational vehicle is not attractive to anyone except the owner of said vehicle, and front yards were not meant to be an outdoor storage facility. 3. The owners of recreational vehicles often park these vehicles in such a manner to interfere'with the neighbor's parking of automobiles and entry and exit from said automobiles. 4. The owners of some recreational vehicles leave these vehicles in a deteriorating condition and park for months at a time as well as not keeping the vehicles maintained or the yard around which the vehicle is located properly landscaped and trimmed. After hearing this testimony from the citizens, the following testimony was taken which could be characterized as important for the Village Board's consideration: Judiciary Committee Meeting 7-14-75 Page 4., 1. In the event that an ordinance is passed, a drain of the police power in the Village, which is already questioned by residents, will occur. The police will have to enforce the ordinance as well as ticket the vehicles that are parked improperly. 2. The existing Village code, as defined by Attorney Zimmermann, may, in fact, cover any complaint filed by a citizen who wishes to object to the parking of a recreational vehicle in a certain manner. Mr. Zimmermann stated that in the past eight years two complaints had been filed and brought to court. It seems that by a broad interpretation of the existing Village code ordinance and the definition of a side yard, front yard and rear yard, any complaints on the parking of recreational vehicles may, in fact, be made and acted upon on proper application to the Village Attorney. 3. In the event that an ordinance is passed, the owners of recreational vehicles have vowed to cite this ordinance in court with legal action at their own expense. 4. In the event that the ordinance is passed, the cost of storage of these recreational vehicles would be prohibitive and subject them to increased acts of vandalism as well as the occurrence of maintenance problems in the event that they are stored at a far away location. 5. In the event that the ordinance is passed, the future collection of licensing fees for these vehicles would be questioned, and the owners of the recreational vehicles feel that it would discourage family togetherness and tarnish the reputation of Mount Prospect "Where Friendliness Is a Way of Life". Warren Arend and an attorney, Robert Rohrback, spoke on behalf of the residents and suggested the format ' ion of an ad hoc committee to prepare an ordinance which owners and nonowners could live with, and alleviate certain problems which were brought forth in the testimony before the -Judiciary Committee. The proposal was in response to the specific complaints raised by certain citizens. The citizens in favor of the ordinance then testified that they felt an ad hoc committee would be necessary and a possible solution to the problem. The owners of recreational vehicles agreed, and stated that they felt that the complaints which were stated by some of the residents about recreational vehicles were justified and, in fact, should be acted upon. Accordingly, the proposal to form an ad hoc committee to discuss the draft of an ordinance for the Village of Mount Prospect was approved by both owners and nonowners of recreational vehicles. Judiciary Committee Meeting 7-14-75 Recommendation: The Judiciary Committee was polled regardinq an ad hoc committee and voted unanimously to recommend the formation of an ad hoc committee to the Village Board, as well as for the discussion of the format of t In light of the controversial nature of this matter, and the fact that it has been raised on two or three prior occasions before the Village Board necessitating much time and exercise of manhours on behalf of the elected officials, much to the consternation of many citizens, as Chairman it is suggested that the hearing held on July 14 covered all dispositive issues and can alleviate any and all future discussion of this problem. For this reason, extensive testimony was taken and minutes prepared. The formation of an ad hoc committee to discuss and recommend to the Judiciary Committee the passage of an ordinance which would alleviate problems which had been voiced by residents is recommended. This ad hoc committee would not have enforcement powers and would merely be formed not as a standing committee but as a temporary committee to make recommendations regarding provisions for an ordinance which would hopefully be enacted by the Village Board. If an ordinance fair to both owners and nonowners of recreational vehicles is enacted by the Village Board, the problem in the future can be completely alleviated and settled once and for all. Accordingly, it is the recommendation of the Judiciary Committee that an ad hoc committee be formed for the purpose of making recommendations to the Judiciary Committee and the Village Attorney for an ordinance which would be fair and equitable to both owners and nonowners of recreational vehicles. The names and addresses of the people who wish to be on the ad hoc committee are set forth as an attachment to this memo. It is suggested that all of these individuals be allowed to attend the meeting and to discuss the problems peculiar to recreational vehicles. Since both owners and nonowners all agreed at the Judiciary Committee meeting that an ad hoc committee be formed, it is the recommendation of the Judiciary Committee that this be done. This would, as I reiterate, remove this problem from the Village, and if an ordinance is drafted which both recreational vehicle owners and nonowners agree with, then a violation of said ordinance can properly be given to the Village Attorney for prosecution. The ad hoc committee would not sit as a hearing body, but merely consider complaints and the recommendations for the enactment of an ordinance. MHM:msw Michael H.

Rhea, Jr.r.Chairman, Finance Committee SUBJECT: Finance Committee Meeting 7-24-75 DATE: July 29, 1975 Present: Chairman E. Rhea; Trustee L. Floros Absent: Trustee R. Hendricks Also Present.- Trustee T. J. Wattenberg- Village Attorney John Zimmermann Request - William Alter, Alter Building Company: The Committee heard an informal presentation from Mr. William Alter of Alter Building Company. Mr. Alter is the developer of the large piece of property located along Route 83 north of Algonquin Road to approximately 400 ft. south of Dempster Street. He proposes to build a 7 -story, 140,000 sq. ft. office building as part of the development of the aforementioned property. Mr. Alter requests that the Village issue approximately r million dollars of industrial revenue bonds to finance the building. He stated that he will probably undertake the project with or without the bond issue, but pointed out that the lower financing ® which the bond issue would carry would allow him to charge lower rent, and thus begin to create an office space market in Mount Prospect. He plans additional office buildings as part of his development. The Committee has requested additional information from Mr. Alter concerning the legality of the use of industrial revenue bonds for such a project. ' *rdinance Re Limiting Non -Referendum Bonding Power-: The Committee discussed the proposal made by Trustee Floros that the Board pass an ordinance limiting its non -referendum bonding power. It was determined that such an ordinance would not be practical. Browning-Ferris Proposal: The Committee considered the proposal by Browning-Ferris Company that the Village pay their monthly invoices within five (5) days of their submission in return for a discount. Finance Committee Meeting 7-24-75 Page 2. Browning -Perris bills the Village on the 25th of each month for scavanger service provided during that month. It has been the practice of the Village Finance Department to withhold payment until after the bill was approved by the Village Board. Browning- Ferris has suggested that if the bill could be paid within five (5) days the Village would receive a discount which would amount to at least $500 per month. The Finance Committee, by a vote of 2-0, is in favor of the pro- posal, but requests that the administration notify the Board by separate memo each month of the amount of the Browning-Ferris invoice and how the total was computed. The Village Attorney suggests that a motion authorizing the administration to pay the Browning-Ferris invoice each month within five (5) days of its submission is in order. Proposed Finance Commission: A brief discussion of the proposed Finance Commission was held. It was decided that the Chairman would draft a proposal which would be further reviewed by the Committee.
