AMENDMENT
ORD.5427
An ordinance was presented for second reading, with various text amendments to the
Village Code, including Chapter 7 (Sign Regulations), Chapter 14 (Zoning), Chapter 16
(Site Construction Standards), and Chapter 21 (Building Code).
Valerie Zenardi, 1009 Golfview Drive, had questions regarding double-fencing on private
property. Staff was instructed to investigate a property in her neighborhood, which
appears to be in violation of Village ordinances.
Section 1 of the ordinance proposed amendments regarding flagpoles and the display of
flags, which several Board members felt needed more discussion. A number of local
businesses were mentioned as possibly being in violation of the Code, which led to
discussions regarding lot size, and whether a flag might be perceived as signage.
It was determined that the ordinance could be approved with the exclusion of Section 1,
and the subject of flags and flagpoles could be discussed and possibly amended at a
later date.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Wilks, moved to defer Section 1 of the proposed
ordinance, to be discussed at a later date.
