Mayor Farley, called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Present at the meeting
were: Trustees George Clowes, Richard Hendricks, Paul Hoefert, Michaele
Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Absent from the meeting was: Trustee Timothy
Corcoran. Also present were: Village Manager Michael Janonis, Assistant Village

,MIN"TE
Minutes of March 12, 1996. Motion made by Trustee Wilks and Seconded by
Trustee Skowron. Minutes were approved unanimously.
None.
Village Attorney Buzz Hill provided an overview of the Sections of the Ordinance
which the Mount Prospect Village Board recently approved which are in conflict
with a decision recently handed down by the Second District Court of Appeals in
a challenge to the City of Harvard Ordinance. The two Sections of the Village
Ordinance which have now been brought into question by the recent Court
decision include Section 23.608 (a) and 23.608 (b).
General comments of the Village Board included the following Items: Some Board
members felt that resources could be utilized better by not defending questionable
components of the Ordinance. Other members felt it was not necessary to break
new ground in this area at this time.
Consensus of the Village Board was to remove the questionable parts of the
Ordinance affected by the recent Court decislon but defend remaining portions of
the Ordinance in Court, 9 necessary.
V. Q14A E AIRCRAFT NOISE M hlll"ORS
AssistantVMa9geManagerDave Strahl provided general information concerning the
history of Mount Prospect's discussions with O'Hare representatives related to
noise. He also stated that funding for placement of the noise monitors Is from the
ticket tax for users of O'Hare Airport. O'Hare completed a Part 15Cd Study as
required by the FAA. This Study provided an overlay, of sound patterns throughout
the area and established proposed sites for noise monitors to identify aircraft which
generate excessive noise over populated areas. Mount Prospect has been
targeted for placement of two monitors with the potential for a third depending on
the results and placement of the initial two monitors. In order to generate the
necessary data, two temporary sites have been established; one at the Fire Station
at the comer of Golf and Busse and another site at One West Berkshire. These
sites will remain for approximately ten days. Once the data from these sites has
been analyzed, permanent sites will be established pending Board approval. The
two permanent` sites recommended are at the comer of Lavergne and Pheasant
in the Village right-of-way and at the comer of School and Lonnquist on Village -
owned property. The noise events which can be recorded from the monitors will
be matched with actual flight patterns of aircraft ,utilizing O'Hare; Airport. These
two elements are combined to identify specific aircraft and pilots which may be
following alternative flight patterns contrary; to recommended patterns established
to reduce noise over populated areas.
The location of the monitors has been arrived at through discussions with O'Hare
representatives and a tracking of noise complaints for the; year 1995.
Ernie Lease, 805 South Elm, spoke. He stated that certain weather conditions
seem to exacerbate the noise which is generated by aircraft, specifically spring
days or when outdoor activities are more prevalent, noise seems to affect quality
of life more than during poor weather conditions. He also asked whether an
Outreach Program will be initiated by the Village.

Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated that area residents will be notified at the
time of the permanent devices and their placement to notify them of the purpose
of the monitors.
Consensus of the Village Board was to accept stairs recommendation for the
placement of the monitors at the temporary locations at Goff and Busse and at
One West Berkshire, for approximately ten days. The permanent sites will be
established at Lonnquist and School Vfllage-owned property and at the Village
owned right-of-way at the comer of Lavergne and Pheasant
V1. gOL4MJTTgE- QF THEWHOLE DEFERRED ITEM 6 U$T-FINAL PRIORITIZATIOhl
Mayor Farley stated the Board members were allowed 21 votes to prioritize the 21
items that had been passed out previously. Board members were allowed to
assign any number of votes to an Item they chose just so they came to a 21 -vote
total. Each Board, members sheet containing their votes was turned in this
evening and has been summarized by staff. He would suggest a group of items
getting the top number of votes be limited to five or six items.
General discussion of the Village Board followed. Among the concerns of the
Board members was items dropping from the list which did not get the requisite
number of votes to put it in the top group as defined. There was also concern that
the items may be so numerous that this sifting Board would have no opportunity
to conclude the items or address the items prior to the municipal election in 1997.
Consensus of the Village Board was to list the top eight Items as the priority Items
to be assigned to the Deferred Items List on the Committee of the Whole Agenda.
The Items are ranked as follows:
1 Discussion regarding prohibiting signs in public right-of-way.

Trustee Wilks stated that she has experienced numerous difficulties in receiving
calls from other area codes into the 847 area code. She stated her research has
revealed that some older systems are unable to recognize the new area code and
some systems may not be cost effective to program in the new area code. She
recommends that residents contact people that would typically call them from other
area codes and ask them to call their local telephone provider to ensure the 847
area code is available to them to use for future calls.

TO; MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: DANIEL UNGERLEIDER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
DATE: MARCH 20, 1996
SUBJECT: COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PARKED AND STORED IN RESEDENTIAL
ZONING DISTRICTS/CONTINUED DISCUSSION
The Village Zoning Ordinance currently includes provisions allowing residential home owners to
store their commercial vehicles on their property within their garage. However, during a recent court
case, the court ruled that the Village's Zoning Ordinance does not adequately define what constitutes
a commercial vehicle. As a result, the court concluded that the Village's provisions for commercial
vehicle storage was also inadequate and therefore not enforceable. Staff is seeking direction from
the Village Board to formulate a policy to address the parking of commercial vehicles in residential
districts.
In order for the Village to be able to regulate commercial vehicles, it must establish a detailed
definition that clearly delineates what constitutes a commercial vehicle. Given that the existing code
is not enforceable, this is an opportune time for the Village to review, create or reinstate provisions
regulating the storage of these commercial vehicles within residential zoning districts.
This memorandum provides an analysis of the existing and proposed commercial vehicle storage
provisions. I have also included a matrix which illustrates different type of trucks and vans which
fall within the motor vehicle industry's category for commercial vehicles. This memorandum is a
continuation of Staff s discussions originally submitted to the Committee of the Whole in my memo
dated August 7, 1995 (see staff memorandum dated August 7, 1995 and Committee of the Whole
minutes dated September 26, 1995, included as Attachments A and B).
HISTORY:
Sections 14.2208 and 14.307.I of the Village Code generally provide that commercial vehicles
weighing less than 8,000 pounds are permitted to be stored in a garage, while commercial vehicles
weighing greater than 8,000 pounds require a conditional use permit. Prior to the recent court case
ruling, staff responded to all related complaints by notifying and requiring the owner's of commercial
vehicles to comply with the Village ordinance. Staff issued warnings and tickets if it was
determined necessary to achieve compliance. However, the court's ruling presently prevents the
Village from enforcing this ordinance. The Village Code references the Webster's Unabridged
Michael E. Janonis
March 20, 1996
Page 2
Dictionary (1979 Edition) to determine the definition of items not specifically defined in the
Municipal Code. The dictionary definition for commercial vehicles, similar to that listed in the
Illinois Vehicle Code (see Attachment E), does not clearly differentiate between commuter vehicles
and vehicles used specifically in commerce. The courts ruled the Village's provisions in these
matters vague and therefore unenforceable.
The dictionary does not specifically define commercial vehicles, per-say. Rather, the dictionary
defines only "commercial" as an adjective describing an object engaged in work, designed for
market. Similar to that listed in the Illinois Vehicle Code (see Attachment E), the definition in the
dictionary does not allow the Village to clearly differentiate between commuter vehicles (those
vehicles specifically utilized for transporting persons to and from work) from those vehicles
specifically used in commerce. Although the State's definition is not faulty for the purposes of the. .
State, the Village cannot rely on their definition nor the dictionary's to support the Village's intent
in regulating the storage of commercial vehicles.
On September 26, 1995, staff presented proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments to the Committee
of the Whole. (A copy of staffs comments and Committee-of-Whole minutes are included as
Attachments A and B for your review and consideration.) Staff's recommendation was that Section
14.2208 be amended to include a specific definition for commercial vehicles. It was staffs belief
that the original intention of the code remain as follows: to permit a commercial vehicle less than
8,000 pounds to be stored within a residential garage and to prohibit storage of commercial vehicles
greater than 8,001 pounds to be stored within a residential garage unless a conditional use permit is
secured.
Staff had recommended three (3) major changes to the Village Code:
1. Omit any reference to vehicles utilized in connection with a home occupation;
2. Omit the repetition of the provision in two multiple sections of the Code;
3. Provide for a clear definition of commercial vehicles which the Village intends to permit or
restrict.
Staff s recommended amendments as submitted for the September 26, 1995 Committee-of-the-
Whole meeting were as follows:
Section 14.307.I., Standard for Home Occupations
Existing - "Any contracting or service business truck or other vehicle used primarily in
connection with a home occupation shall be permitted up to a licensed weight of eight
thousand (8,000) pounds, but shall be parked in a garage. No garage shall exceed the
Michael E. Janonis

Page 3
accessory building standards of Section 14.306 of this Article. Trucks with a licensed weight
of more than eight thousand one (8,001) pounds are subject to a conditional use as specified
in each residential zoning classification."
Prgpond - All vehicles utilized in conjunction with a home occupation shall comply with
the regulations stipulated in Section 14.2208.
Section 14.2208., Parking of Commercial Vehicles in Residential Districts.
Ex'.ygg - "Any contracting or service business truck or other vehicle used primarily in
connection with a home occupation shall be permitted up to a licensed weight of eight
thousand (8,000) pounds, but shall be parked in a garage. The parking of any commercial
truck, vehicle or commercial trailer with a licensed weight or gross weight in excess of eight
thousand one (8,001) pounds shall only be permitted in a residential garage with a
conditional use permit."
PrQposed - Commercial vehicles having a gross weight when fully loaded less than 8,000
pounds and/or bearing a class designation of "A" or "B" under the provisions of the Illinois
Motor Vehicle Code shall be parked or stored within a garage on any property with a
residential zoning classification. The parking or storage of any vehicle having a gross
weight when fully loaded greater than 8,001 pounds and/or bearing a class designation other
than "A" or `B" under the provisions of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code shall only be
permitted in a residential garage with a conditional use permit. Commercial vehicles may
include, but shall not necessarily be restricted to the following:
1. Any van or truck carrying work equipment such as ladders, snow plows, hand and
mechanical tools, or machinery in the bed of, on top of, or any other place on the
outside of the vehicle.
2. Any van or truck used to store, carry or house tools, material parts or work related
equipment on a regular basis. For purposes of this section, "regular basis" shall mean
more than three (3) days out of any thirty (30) day period.
3. Any van or truck containing a name or logo of any business enterprise visible from
the outside of the vehicle.
4. Any vehicle used for public transportation purposes capable of carrying more than
seven (7) persons. This shall not apply to vehicles used as commuter vans as defined
by the Illinois Vehicle Code.
5. Any commercial vehicle as defined by the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code.

After much discussion, the Committee of the Whole identified several pertinent issues that should
be considered when regulating the storage of commercial vehicles. These issues are listed and
described as follows:
1. Many
residents are employed by businesses which require them to work from the home and/or keep
the company vehicle at home. As the trend to eliminate expensive office space costs
continues and telecommunications and computer technology increases, many more Village _
residents may be required to work from their home and store the company vehicle at their
home.
The cost of office space is also motivating business persons to choose to establish their
business in their home. Contractors, consultants, trades persons and daycare operators are
examples of some of these businesses which may be established in the home. Does the
Village want to regulate all these types of commercial vehicles in general or to regulate each
type differently?
2. Many of the businesses operating
from the home or place of business utilize the company vehicle to advertise their company
name, product and sometimes a phone number and/or address. Examples of these vehicles
are illustrated on the last page of Attachment H (Questionnaire). Does the Village want to
review and regulate signage on commercial vehicles and, if so, how does the Village
establish consistency in the review process?
Regulating commercial'yehicles. based on size., Several of the commercial vehicles can be
larger and heavier than an average passenger vehicle (see Attachment F). The intent of the
current Code was to limit the size of commercial vehicles to those that could fit into a
standard garage. This would limit the height to eight (8) feet unless a variation were granted.
This modification can result in a garage having an abnormally large garage door; sometimes
exceeding ten (10) feet in height. Although the resulting garage door accommodates the
resident's commercial vehicle, this size door is not compatible with the architecture of the
Village's existing neighborhoods. This raises the issue: Does the Village want to
accommodate these larger commercial vehicles by permitting conditional uses?
4. Consistengy otreaulation and edorcement.It has been the Village's practice to enforce its
commercial vehicle regulations on a complaint basis. Although this method may not provide
for a consistent form of regulation and enforcement, this method does not require additional
staff time and allows the residents, who are considerate to their neighbors, to continue storing
a commercial vehicle not complying with Village Code. Does the Village want to continue
this practice of enforcing these regulations on a complaint basis?

On October 26, 1995, the Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing to discuss staffs
recommendation as well as Village Board comments as identified above. There were many Village
residents and business persons in attendance, the majority of whom expressed their dissatisfaction
for the existing and recommended commercial vehicle storage codes and restrictions. (A copy of
staffs memorandum to the Zoning Board and the Zoning Board's minutes are included as
Attachments C and D.)
After much discussion, the Zoning Board expressed that although they were uncomfortable with
recommending any restriction which would force residents and businesses out of town, they were
not opposed to placing restrictions on some vehicles used for commercial purposes so long as these
regulations were enforceable.
UNKTI-OMW
Staff has prepared the following analysis based on the Committee -of -the -Whole's previous
discussion and the Zoning Board's public hearing. This analysis should provide the Committee of
the Whole with the foundation needed to articulate any necessary Zoning Ordinance amendments.
The purpose of the current codes regulating commercial vehicles is to provide Village residents
access to and storage of commercial vehicles without negatively impacting the character of the
Village's residential neighborhoods. The current Code attempted to do so by establishing the
following objectives:
1. Maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhoods by prohibiting commercial
vehicles within the front yard setbacks of homes by requiring that these vehicles be
parked within the garage.
2. Limiting commercial vehicle storage to a weight and size similar to that of a regular
passenger vehicle.
Regulating and preventing the construction of oversized garages needed to
accommodate large commercial vehicles.
During the Summer of 1995, staff surveyed fifteen local municipalities to determine their regulations
in comparison with Mount Prospect's. Mount Prospect's commercial vehicle codes are compatible
with the majority of the other communities surveyed. By this review, staff also estimates that many
of these communities' commercial vehicle codes would also be found not enforceable as written.
Many of these codes are based alone on the definition for commercial vehicles established by the
Illinois Vehicle Code (see Attachment E).
Michael E. Janonis
March 20, 1996
Page 6
The Illinois Vehicle Code defines commercial vehicles as those vehicles used for commercial
purposes. As defined, automobiles used to transport a person and their personal computer is
considered a commercial vehicle as would a vehicle specifically utilized to transport a service (i.e.
landscape, plumber). Given this established rationale, it is important that automobiles used or owned
by a commercial establishment be considered when adopting a commercial vehicle storage
ordinance. For your consideration, attached you will find a table which provides the maximum
weight, and dimensions of common commercial vehicles (see attachment F). Although common
automobiles can be used specifically for commercial purposes, these vehicles are not included in the
illustrations given the large number available.
Listed below is a range of options that the Village could adopt to address commercial vehicles in
residential districts. The options range from no regulation ( Option A) to the prohibition of parking
these vehicles in residential districts even inside of a garage (Option E). Attachment C provides a
point by point comparison of these options in a matrix format.
Option A: 1p,- 'ice - Eliminate all Village regulations regarding the (parking of
commercial vehicles in residential districts. This would allow any type of commercial
vehicle to be parked in a residential garage or driveway regardless of it sire -ice-
This
e.This option would benefit residents that have commercial vehicles and desire to'. park them
on their property. However, this type of regulation, or lack thereof, could have a
significantly negative impact on the character of residential districts.
Option B: QWjM�l.#ed- This option would be similar to Option A
except that it would not allow for the display of signage or exterior storage of materials or
equipment on the vehicles. This option would benefit individuals that have commercial
vehicles that do not have signage or materials on the outside of the vehicle. However, it
would not address the concerns of those individuals that have service vehicles with ladders,
trucks and/or signage on the exterior. The size of the.vehicle is not restricted in this option.
Option C: (garage Plus One - This option would allow for unlimited parking of commercial
vehicles within a garage and would allow residents to park one commercial vehicle on a
driveway. This option would not restrict the appearance of the commercial vehicle or
regulate signage and/or exterior storage of equipment. A conditional use may be requested
for vehicles larger than permitted. This option would be beneficial to those that operate a
service business (i.e. plumber, electrician, etc.) that make service calls out of their home. It
would limit the ability of an individual to store several vehicles on their driveway. This
option would likely address concerns raised by individuals at previous public hearings,
however, it would impact the character of the Village's residential neighborhoods.
Option D: Qmag Only - This option mirrors the original intent of the current Village
Ordinance. It would enable individuals to store commercial vehicles within their garage
regardless of its appearance, however, it would prohibit the storage of commercial vehicles
on a driveway. This option provides individuals opportunity to store their vehicles so long
Michael E. Janonis
March 20, 1996
Page 7
as they are of appropriate size to fit into a residential garage. This option would also
maintain the character of the residential neighborhoods by eliminating outside storage of
these vehicles. It would further restrict the size, weight and subsequently the registration
type of a vehicle so that it may fit within a standard garage. A conditional use may be
requested for vehicles larger than permitted.
Option E: Complets „E'Cl2hibi�o11- This option would prohibit the storage of commercial
vehicles in residential districts regardless of where they are stored. This would prohibit
individuals that currently are able to store their vehicle in the garage from continuing this
practice.
After thorough review of the existing ordinance's intent and discussion with the Committee -of -the -
Whole, Zoning Board of Appeals and the public, staff believes that Option D would best serve the
Village residents by allowing individuals to maintain their commercial vehicle on their property
within a garage while maintaining the character of the Village's residential neighborhoods. The
Village may wish to consider eliminating the option to obtain a conditional use for vehicles which
require larger than standard size garages given the impact these garages have on the aesthetics of a
neighborhood.
Staff is seeking direction from the Village Board to formulate an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance that will address the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts. Please
forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration.
If they could return the attached questionnaire by Tuesday, April 2, staff will tabulate the results for
the April 9 meeting.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly at 818-5312. 1 look forward to
discussing this issue further.

DATE: AUGUST 7, 1995
SUBJECT: SIZE OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES; SIGNAGE IN RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS; C011fif1 ERCIAI aRECREATIONAL VEHICLES PARKED AND
STORED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
As directed, staff has reviewed the Village's ordinances with regards to sizes of accessory structures,
recreation vehicles, commercial vehicles, and signage in residential districts. Staff has surveyed
fifteen local municipalities to determine their regulations in comparison with Mount Prospect's
regulations, and has prepared the following summary of staffs analysis and resulting
recommendations.
Section 14.306.13 of the Village's Zoning Ordinance restricts the size of detached garages to
600 square feet. Staff has surveyed local home improvements stores and has found that this
size detached garage is common and is quite readily available to construct. In review of
Village files, Staff has found that the Village has approved three (3) of the four (4)
conditional use requests for detached garages housing more than two (2) vehicles following
the '93 comprehensive Zoning Ordinance amendment. The requests are listed as follows:
Address:

Given the minimum number of requests received by the Village for larger detached garages,
staff does not believe that the Village needs to further review or revise the maximum
permitted size of detached garages at this time.

Section 14.306.13 also restricts the maximum size of a storage shed to 120 square feet. After
surveying local home improvement stores, staff found that the standard size of available
storage sheds continues to be 120 square feet in area: 64 square feet being the smallest, 160
square feet (special order) being the largest readily available.

* Only two (2) sizes available would not comply with Village requirements.
Given that the current Village permitted maximum shed size still corresponds with the sizes
available, staff does not believe that the Village needs to further review or revise this specific
section of the ordinance.
There is a growing concern over the continued proliferation of temporary advertising signs
which are displayed within the Village's residential neighborhoods. Real estate agents and
residential property owners are commonly placing "for sale", "open house" and "garage sale"
signs outside of the property for which they advertise. These signs are found along street
corners, along major arterial roads and upon utility poles located within the public right-of-
way. Although the Village Sign Ordinance does not specifically address these types of
residential signs, Section 7.301.13 of the Sign Ordinance does strictly prohibit signs located
in or extended over the public right-of-way.
Staff recommends that the Village either continue to educate the residents of this existing
prohibition and enforce the existing Code as written or amend the Sign Ordinance to
specifically address each of these signs within the public right-of-way. Staff strongly
discourages the latter given the liability created by permitting this type of signage or any
signage within the public right-of-way.
A recent trend in the real estate industry is to distribute and utilize illuminated real estate
signs for residential property. Staff feels that illuminated signage is obtrusive and not
appropriate for display on residential properties. Staff therefore recommends Section 7.301:
Prohibited Sisns, be amended to include Illuminated Signs in residential districts, other than
development identification signs permitted under this Code.

Section 14.2208, and 14.307.1 states Commercial vehicles less than 8,000 lbs. are permitted
to be stored in a garage if used for a home occupation and that commercial vehicles greater
than 8,000 lbs. require a conditional use. Upon review of other local municipal ordinances,
staff has found that Mount Prospect's Codes are compatible and in some cases more
restrictive than other local community requirements for commercial vehicles located in
residential zoning districts. Given that commercial vehicles must be stored within a garage,
staff feels that our current regulations are sufficient in protecting the appearance and use of
the Villages residential neighborhoods. However, during recent court cases involving this
issue, it was determined that the Village's Zoning Ordinance needs to better define
commercial vehicles as related to this section of the Village Code. Staff recommends that
the Zoning Ordinance be amended as follows:
Section 14.307.1., Standards for Home Occupations
Existing - "Any contracting, service business truck, or other vehicle used primarily in
connection with a home occupation shall be permitted up to a licensed weight of eight
thousand (8,000) pounds, but shall be parked in a garage. No garage shall exceed the
accessory building standards of Section 14.306 of this Article. Trucks with a licensed weight
of more than eight thousand one (8,001) pounds are subject to a conditional use as specified
in each residential zoning classification."
Proposed: - All vehicles utilized in conjunction with a home occupation shall comply with
the regulations stipulated in Section 14.2208.
Section 14.2208., Parking of Commercial Vehicles in Residential Districts.
Existing: - "Any contracting or service business truck, or commercial vehicle used as part
of a home occupation shall be permitted up to a licensed weight of eight thousand (8,000)
pounds, but shall be parked in a garage. The parking of any commercial truck, vehicle or
commercial trailer with a licensed weight or gross weight in excess of eight thousand one
(8,000) pounds shall only be permitted in a residential garage with a conditional use permit."
Proposed - Commercial vehicles having a gross weight when fully loaded less than 8,000
pounds and/or bearing a class designation of "A" or "B" under the provisions of the Illinois
Motor Vehicle Code shall be parked or stored within a garage on any property with a
residential zoning classification. The parking or storage of any vehicle having a gross weight
when fully loaded greater than 8,000 pounds and/or bearing a class definition other than "B"
under the provisions of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Law shall only be permitted in a
residential garage with a conditional use permit. Commercial vehicles may include, but shall
not necessarily be restricted to the following:

2. Any van or truck used to store, carry or house tools, material parts or work related
equipment on a regular basis. For purposes of this section, "regular basis" shall mean
more than three (3) days out of any thirty (30) day period.

Section 14.2209 of the Village Zoning Ordinance currently prohibits the storing of recreation
vehicles on unimproved surfaces in residential districts. However, the Zoning Ordinance
does not specifically provide conditions for storing recreation vehicles in a manner which
would promote public safety, prevent long term storage or dictate specific location for the
storage of these vehicles. Staff therefore recommends that a specific section be added to the
general provisions of the Zoning Ordinance which addresses recreation vehicles. Staff
believes that this section should specifically provide regulations that address the following
issues:
1. The maximum number of recreation vehicles that would be permitted on a property;
2. The permitted location for storing recreation vehicles on property;
3. The allowable surface upon which the recreation vehicle can be stored;
4. The prohibition of recreation vehicles from being utilized for storage or living space;
5. The prohibition of temporarily or permanently connecting a recreation vehicle to
water, electricity or gas.
Staff will bring photographs and supporting illustrations to the Comthittee-of-the-Whole
meeting.
Please forward this memorandum to the Village Board for their review at the August 22nd
Committee -of -the -Whole meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
[on. 1-1 =11vinur,
Bill Cooney provided some general Information to the Board concerning current
regulations defining commercial vehicles. He stated that the current definition of
commercial vehicles Is not sufficient for Court Generally, within a residential
neighborhood, the rule Is that if the commercial vehicle can fit In the garage, then
that Is where it should be stored.
General comments of the Village Board Included the following information:
Board members had concerns relating to advertisements for commercial purppsep,
versus logos of businesses which are less obtrusive. Some members were also
concerned about the consistency of regulation and enforcement
Consensus of the Village Board was to request staff further hone --the
recommendations relating to Commercial Vehicle definition and reportto the Board
whether such regulations which are more clearly defined are enforceable. ;
Dick Bachhuber, 625 South Edward, spoke. He stated that whatever regulations
the Village Board approves should include daytime regulations in addition to night-
time.

Staff Discussion
Or September 26, 1995, the Committe-of-the-Whole had discussions regarding theVillage's
definition for commercial vehicles and the related regulations for parking commercial vehicles
within residential zoning districts. Upon review of other local municipal ordinances, staff has found
that Mount Prospect's Codes are compatible and in some cases more restrictive than other local
community requirements for commercial vehicles located in residential zoning districts. Given that
commercial vehicles must be stored within a garage, staff feels that the intent of our current
regulations are sufficient in protecting the appearance and use of the Village's residential
neighborhoods. However, during recent court cases involving this issue, it was determined that the
Vil:age's Zoning Ordinance needs, to better define commercial vehicles as related to this section of
the Village Code, Staff recommends that the Zoning Ordinance be amended as follows:

and Section 14.307.1 Standards for Home Occupations and Commercial Vehide&
Mr. Daniel Ungerlader, Planning Coordinator for the Village of Mount Prospect, stated
that the proposed amendment to the Village Zoning Ordinance will not fixrtha restrict
cornmercial vehicles than is currently ordaned by the Zoning Ordinance. Staff is not

The following persons spoke in opposition of the proposed amendment:

Mr. Bruce Pitek

The above listed residents were very concerned with the proposed ametAnent. Many of
which have 24 hour "on-call" trade service jobs, i.e. plumber, carpenter, heating and *
conditioning. repair, electrician, etc. They stated that the elimination of their vehicles from
their properties would jeopardize their employment. The residents also expressed
concerns that their vehicles would be difficult or impossible to house in a garage (as the
current ordinance stands and the proposed amendment). Also, travel time is critical to
many of these tradesmen and if they were to store the commercial vehicles at their Place Of
business, it would be detrimental to the business. many of the residents were concerned
about the enforcement of the code as it stands and the proposed amendment. Some fek
the way the ordinance stands as a "complaint basis" is just fine and the Village does not
need to eliminate commercial vehicles with the new amendment. They felt that they are
being forced out of business and/or out of town if they have to move their service vehicles.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney stated that the proposed amendment is
brought forth per court instruction. As the Ordinance currently reads, it is not specific
ZBA- I 5-A-95
Page 4
enough about commercial vehicles. The proposed amendment would help clarify the
Villages definition of commercial vehicles.
Chairman Basnik went through the proposed arnendmews as fisted above. He feels that
some of the guidelines would be difficult to enforce such as number 3 Wed above. He
gated that he feels the most obnoxious thing about a commercial vehicle is its size and
then the logo or writing upon it.
Mr. Verhassek asked how the Village was enforcing this code. In response, Mr. Cooney
stated that as the ordinance stands, the Wage enfi)rces this code as per a *oomplaire
basis. This is part of the reason the Village is proposing this amendment to help clarify fix
the court what is considered a commercial vehicle on a more specific basis
Mr. Verhasselt then moved that the Zoning Board of Appeals approve an amendment to
R�,
the Zoning Ordinance Section 14.2208 Parking of Commercial Vehicles in Residential
Districts as shown on staffs letter to the Zoning Board of Appeals dated October 26,
1995, as to said amendment. The motion was seconded be Mr. Lannon.
Upon Roll Call: AYES: None
NAYS: Basnik, Cassidy, Floros, Lannon, Verhasselt
The motion was denied by a vote of 5-0.
Mr. Floros stated that he feels that by approving the Ordinance we would be
several people out of town and he would not want to be a party to that. He stated that the'
Village needs regulations and while he is not taking sides on this issue, he cited
recreational vehicles, boats, and tractor -trailers as examples. You cannot please all of the
people. Some may like a certain type of vehicle, some hate it; some need it. What looks
good to one may not to another.
Chairman Basnik stated that he is not opposed to placing restrictions on trucks and other
large vehicles. He feels the Village, should have some limits but does not support this
request.
Mr. Cassidy stated that he feels that support of this ordinance would create an economic
hardship for many people.
Mr. Verhasselt and Mr. Lannon concur with the above mentioned comments made by the
Zoning Board members.
