IV. BETHESDA LUTHERAN HOME ZONING CASE
Because of the lengthy testimony given.thiscase at the
Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, this case should be
'first reviewed by the Committee of the Whole :in order
to have sufficient time to assess all the information.
Bethesda is seeking a Special Use (Case 41 -SU -82) to
allow the operation of a group home for eight clients
and two supervisors- They are also seeking a Variation
(Case 42-V-82) to allow the existing front yard parking
area to meet the requirements of three off-street parking
spaces as required by Village Ordinance. The property
is located at 1318-1320 Linneman Road and is developed
as a duplex residence -and zoned R-2.
The matter was heard before the Zoning Board of Appeals
on Thursday, October.�7-1982 and the voteon-theSpecial
Use appeared to fail in the record with three members
voting "for" the Special Use, two members "passing" and
one member absent. On the Variance, the record appeard
to indicate the motion failed with three members 'voting
"for", two members "passing" and one member absent.
Subsequent.to the Zoning . Board of Appeals meeting, the
Village attorney prepared a legal opinion demonstrating
that upon an Illinois Supreme Court case-- and the.Village's
own rules and procedures., the two. -"pass" votes must be
counted on the prevailing side of the motion and,. therefore,
both Zoning matters have received favorable recommendations
from the Zoning Board of Appeals. .As of the writing
of this Agenda, the absent member has not cast her vote. --
The Village staff has notified the petitioner, as well as
those residents who appeared at the Zoning Board of .
Appeals meeting in either opposition-.-orl-support of the
proposal. 7
Staff report attached.
V. SIGN ORDINANCE REVIEW
At the Committee of the Whole meeting,of October.12, 1982,
we reviewed the substance of the Sign Ordinance exclusive
of that section commonly referred to as Non -Conforming
Signs/Amortization. This appears.on page 19 of the Sign
Ordinance draft. What this section attempts to do is to
establish procedures whereby signs that become non -conforming
because of the adoption of the new Ordinance, will be
either brought into conformance or, subsequently, replaced
by legal signs.
In reviewing this specific subject matter with the
various advisory Boards and Commissions,. a number of qN=
proposals were brought forward. For instance, the
Sign Committee recommended a five-year amortization
schedule; i.e., a business person would have five years
from the date of the permit of an existing sign to
comply with the new Ordinance. This position was
subsequently modified after meetings before the Planning
Commission and from input by the sign industry to
read effectively: ---Ten years from -date of permit. The
Zoning Board of Appeals further modified the proposal to
say in effect: That the ten year from permit date
period would not be enforced for five years from the
date of the adoption of the Ordinance. Everyone has
agreed that if changes are made to the sign that it
must be brought into full conformance at the time of the
change. The Planning Commission's approach to this was
different and will be presented verbally at the meeting.
The major issue before the Board is the effective date
of full compliance with the Ordinance for those signs
in non-conformance. Staff will be available at the meeting.
VI. ALLEY VACATION
At a prior Village Board meeting, the staff was requested
to prepare a recommendation regarding the dedicated alleys
in the vicinity of Wille and Kensington abutting property
commonly referred to as Huntzicker's Subdivision. Attached
is a staff report outlining the procedures necessary in
a vacation together with three options available to the
Mayor and the Board.
This property is residentially zoned and with any vacation,
the property must go equally to abutting property owners.
It is the staff's recommendation that the Village vacate
the alleys for a nominal fee ($1.00) in order to facilitate
the resubdivision of Lots.1 and 2 in Huntzicker.'s Sub-
division for residential development. The Committee of
the Whole should consider a motion -directing staff to
prepare the necessary documents, notify -the affected
propertyowners and place the matter on subsequentBoard
Agendas for appropriate Village action.l�._,
