HALLOWEEN in Mount Prospect.
FIRE PREVENTION Mayor Farley and Fire Chief Cavello presented the
POSTER AWARDS annual Fire Prevention poster awards to the elementary
school students within the Village.
R.V. VEHICLES Richard Hendricks, 1537 East Emmerson Lane, expressed
concern relative to a boat parked on the side of a
neighbors home and asked what the policy of the Village
is on this subject.
Mr. Hendricks noted that the Village Board recently
prohibited a proposal to allow storage of R.V. vehicles
(boats, trailers and/or recreational vehicles) in the
rear of a mini-warehouse to be located on Rand Road due
to the fact that it would be offensive to some
residents within the Harvest Heights Subdivision that
back up to the proposed mini-warehouse site. Mr.
.Hendricks questioned why it would be offensive to
residents at the rear of their property and not
considered offensive to residents in the front of their
property.
Mayor Farley explained under the interpretation of the
Zoning Ordinance R.V. vehicles are permitted in
residential areas, provided they are parked on a hard
surface.
Mayor Farley stated that this matter has been discussed
on numerous occasions by various Village Boards and
this Board may discuss it again at some future date.
If it is discussed, Mr. Hendricks will be notified so
he can participate in the discussion.
Don Harmon, 16 North Williams, requested'staff to check
on R. V. vehicles in his neighborhood because he does
not believe they are parked on a hard surface.
