DISTRICTS/COMMERCIAL VEHICLE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
At the April 9, 1996 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Village Board again took
up the question of regulating the parking and storing of commercial vehicles in
Residential Zoning Districts. Board members reviewed a comprehensive staff report
which outlined the status of current regulations; problems encountered in enforcing
those regulations through the Courts; proposed revisions to existing regulations and
a recap of prior ZBA and Board level discussions.
At the April 9 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Village Board also heard
commentary from residents both in support of and in opposition to regulation of
commercial vehicles in Residential Zoning Districts. Approximately 40 residents
were in attendance at this meeting.
Based on the width and breath of the discussion at the April 9 Committee of the
Whole meeting, Mayor Farley suggested that an Ad Hoc Commercial Vehicle
Committee be convened to review the issue and submit recommendations to the full
Board. The Committee was to be comprised of elected officials and residents
representing various viewpoints for and against such regulations. Board members
concurred with this approach.
A Committee of six was named by Mayor Farley consisting of two Trustees and four
residents. The Committee met on three occasions (see attached meeting Minutes)
with the result being a specific set of recommendations for the regulation of
commercial vehicles within Residential Districts.
The Committee's report is attached for your review and consideration. Also
attached are relevant supporting documents including Committee meeting Minutes
as well as the March 20, 1996 staff report which served as the basis for the April 9
Committee of the Whole discussion.
Committee members along with appropriate staff will be in attendance to answer
questions and to facilitate discussion. Residents who had previously expressed
interest in this subject have been notified of the May 28 discussion by mail.
