2004 BUDGET DISCUSSIONS
OpeninR Remarks
Mayor Farley provided a general overview of the Budget process and the involvement
and advising component from the Finance Commission. He stated this is a difficult
Budget due to the recommended cuts and the revenue enhancements that were
approved in May of 2003 have just left the Village treading water.
BudRet Overview
Village Manager Janonis stated the economic circumstances have put the Village in this
position. He stated the Board spent the balance of the early part of the year addressing
the 2004 needs but based on recent revenue issues, the Village sees itself in the same
position in 2005. He provided a summary of the 2003 revenue initiatives. He stated the
staff is recommending additional drawdown from reserves due to the drop in the Home
Rule Sales Tax receipts. This is required for the balancing of the 2003 Budget.
He stated Costco should be underway and the tax benefits should occur in 2005. He
stated the downtown redevelopment is nearly completed. He stated the operating
Budget for 2004 is projected to increase .22%. Increases in the Budget are driven by
wages, health insurance and pension expenses. Staff was told to reduce the Budget by
$500,000 and staff is recommending cuts in the area of $744,000. He stated the
General Fund transfer to the CIP as previously anticipated will not occur in 2004 due to
revenue issues. He also is recommending that the Board allow staff to hold three full-
time vacant positions open and not fill those for the foreseeable future until revenues are
improved. He highlighted several of the changes for the 2004 Budget which include the
re-allocation of the Leaf Program and the computer maintenance expenses from the
General Fund. He provided a Fund Balance usage history over the last several years.
He stated the Village was able to utilize General Fund balance in the previous years and
not have to rely on Property Tax increases to make up the difference. However, it is
getting to the point that the previous commitments from the General Fund for Debt
Service and the other revenues to cover debt service are in such shape that there may
be a need to revisit the revenue mix again next year. He stated that due to pending
transfers from Reserves, the General Fund reserve could droP to below 20% for 2005.
BudRet Revenues/Expenditures
Finance Director Dave Erb provided an overview of the Budget process and concept to
allocate resources through the Budget process. He also highlighted the fact that the
Village uses Budget cost centers to assign cost of services. He stated that 61% of the
Budget is personnel related and 80% of the General Fund is personnel related expenses
for wages and benefits. He stated the Village is currently carrying a debt level of 2.5% of
EAV without the Library debt, the total debt level is significantly below the limit allowed
by law. He highlighted the projected in growth of expenses for Police and Fire pensions.
He also stated that based on the projected Property Tax increase for 2004, a typical
$250,000 valued home would increase $21. He provided a summary of the revenue
changes implemented for 2003.
Human Services Department
Human Services Director Nancy Morgan provided a summary of the services provided.
She highlighted the fact there is a great deal of Interdepartmental cooperation that
allows her Department to provide the services necessary to the community. She stated
the only increases to her Budget are related to personnel related expenses and
relocation expenses.
Villa.cie ManaRer's Office
Village Manager Michael Janonis provided a summary of the Public Representation
budget along with the general Manager's Office, Personnel, IT, Public Information and
Village Clerk budget. He stated the increases in the Manager's Office Budget is directly
related to wages and benefits.

Increases are directly related to wages, benefits and pension
Finance Commission Comments
John Korn, Finance Commission Chairman, stated that the Budget for 2003 and the
proposed Budget for 2004 are maintenance Budgets and it is becoming evident that
some cuts will soon be affecting services due to poor revenue performance. He stated
the expenses of employees are increasing and taking a larger portion of the Budget. He
stated this challenge has been accepted by the staff and Village Board and compliments
the staff on its recommendations.
Trustee Irvana Wilks stated that the State Legislative impacts have affected revenues
due to unfunded mandates.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Wilks pointed out that there is a music CD available of the Sevres Community
Band performance if anyone is interested in purchasing.

Review of Significant Accounts
Expenditure Accounts
Document Imaging (page 174) $4,200 to $5,750
The department changed from microfilming old police records and reports to digital imaging them in
2003. This process, although slightly more expensive than microfilming, is more efficient from a
storage and retrieval basis.
Accreditation (page 174) $4,250 to $14,000
The department is scheduled to undergo its fifth accreditation on-site inspection in December 2004. The
additional funds in this account represent the reaccreditation fee and the cost of bringing three assessors
to the department for four days.
Radio Equipment (page 182) $1,750 to $5,400
The new 800 MHz digital trunked portable radios will be four years old in 2004. The additional funds in
this account will be used to start replacing the radio batteries and the lapel microphones.
Grant Accounts
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (page 176) $12,524
As indicated above the department will be using these block grant funds to purchase six laptop
computers for the police investigators. The total cost of the laptops will be approximately $18,000. The
Capital Improvements budget includes funds for the remainder of this purchase.
Tobacco Enforcement Program Grant (page 179) $1,000
This grant is used to educate tobacco retailers about selling to minor prohibitions and to conduct
subsequent compliance checks and enforcement campaigns. The entire award is $5,940, one-third spent
in 2003 and two-thirds spent in 2004. Of the money included in the 2004 budget, $1,000 has been
allocated for expenses and the remainder for overtime expenditures. The overtime expenditures have
been included in the investigative overtime account.
Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act Grant $5,700
The department purchases body armor for its officers and replaces it on a periodic basis. This grant
provides for a 50% reimbursement of the department's body armor purchases.
Asset Seizure/DUI Fine Fund Accounts
DEA Asset Seizure Account (page 177) $4,700
This account represents a portion of money in this trust account. The department uses federal asset
seizure funds for non-budgeted qualified expenditures. In the past the department funded its Rapid
Deployment Program equipment from these funds. Currently theses funds are being used to add
emergency equipment to the detective squad cars. In the final budget this account will he funded at
$1,000 and will be replenished quarterly to offset the department's actual expenditures.
State Asset Seizure Account (page 180) $7,000
This account also represents a portion of the money in this trust account. The department is limited to
using state asset seizure funds for drug education and enforcement activities. The department currently
is plarming some 2004 drug enforcement strategies that may be funded with this money. In the final
budget this account will be funded at $1,000 and will be replenished quarterly to offset the department's
actual expenditures.
DUI Fine Fund (page 177) $3,000
By state law, the court must assess a $100 fee on each DUI case for return to the arresting agency for use
in DUI enforcement, including equipment purchases. In the past these funds have been used to purchase
breath test machines and a forensic (laser) mapping system. In 2004, the department will be purchasing
a plotter attachment for the forensic mapping system. In the final budget this account will be funded at
$1,000 and will be replenished quarterly to offset the department's actual expenditures.
Capital Improvements
Pistol Range Renovation (page 297) $30,000
This money will be used to replace the bullet trap at the police pistol range.
Digital Surveillance Equipment (page 298) $35,000
This money will be used to add a video monitoring and recording capability to all areas of the
department's Holding Facility.
Vehicle Replacement (page 302) $324,850
Per the vehicle replacement schedule the department will be replacing 9 marked patrol squad cars
($270,450), 1 community service officer car ($27,200), and 1 detective car ($27,200) in 2004. These
costs include squad car graphics and equipment transfer charges.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Merrill Cotten made a motion to approve the
minutes of the September 25 meeting, seconded by Richard Rogers. The September meeting minutes were approved
4-0, with one abstention by Leo Floros. At 9:25 pm, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No PZ-37-03, a request for a Plat of
Resubdivision.
Ms. Connolly presented the case and said that one of the Subject Properties, 1201 N. Burning Bush Lane is located on
the east side of Burning Bush Lane, between Euclid Avenue and Ivy Lane, and is a vacant lot. She said that the other
Subject Property, 1903 E. Euclid Avenue, is located on the south side of Euclid Avenue, between Burning Bush Lane
and River Road, and currently contains a single-family residence with related improvements. Both properties are
zoned R1 Single Family Residence and are bordered on all sides by the R1 District.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner subdivided 1901 Burning Bush in 1999 and created three lots of record, which
includes 1201 Burning Bush Lane. She said that the Petitioner is seeking to expand the rear yard of 1201 N. Burning
Bush Lane by purchasing a portion of the adjacent property's rear yard. She noted that the depth of the Burning Bush
lot would be increased from 100-feet to 200-feet and that the depth of the Euclid Avenue property would be decreased
from 304.75-feet to 223.45-feet. She said that both properties would meet minimum lot size requirements and that the
Petitioner is not seeking relief from any zoning regulations.
Ms. Connolly stated that the plat under review maintains two lots of record, but changes the size of the lots to create a
larger rear yard for the Burning Bush property. She said that the plat and proposed lots of record comply with
Development Code requirements and the Petitioner is not seeking relief from the Development Code or the Zoning
Ordinance. She said that other Departments have reviewed the plat and found that it was prepared in accordance with
Village Codes. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend that
the Village Board approve the proposed plat of resubdivision for the properties at 1201 Burning Bush Lane and 1903
E. Euclid Avenue, PZ-37-03. She said that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chair Juracek asked if the P&Z had questions of Staff. Richard Rogers asked whether the property at 1903 E. Euclid
was currently on a septic system. Ms. Connolly said that it was, but that the property owner was in the process of
installing sewer improvements. Mr. Rogers stated his concern that the existing septic system would be adversely
impacted if the sewer improvements were not implemented at 1903 E. Euclid before the house was constructed at 1201
lanning & Zoning Commission PZ-37-03

Burning Bush Lane.
Zlatka Pavlovic, 1901 E. Euclid Avenue, was sworn in. She clarified that the correct property owner of 1903 E. Euclid
Avenue was Jim Zentefis and that the neighbors were in the process of tying into/tapping into the sewer. She said that
the permit for sewer improvements to 1903, 1905, and 1907 E. Euclid Avenue is under review and that she is waiting
for MWRD approval before the sewer improvements may begin.
Following several questions regarding the MWRD review process, Jeff Wulbecker, Village Engineer, clarified that
there is no set schedule for the MWRD review and said that construction can begin after the permit is approved.
Mr. Rogers reiterated his concerns regarding the existing septic system and the consequences of the Euclid Avenue
property owner not participating in the sewer improvement project. He said that the land being sold to the Petitioner to
increase the depth of 1201 Burning Bush would limit the operational capability of the septic system. There was
discussion regarding placing conditions of approval on the plat and identifying a mechanism to ensure a house could
not be built at 1201 Burning Bush Lane if the sewer improvements were not made at 1903 E. Euclid Avenue.
Richard Rogers moved to recommend approval of the Zlatka Resubdivision for 1201 Buming Bush Lane and 1903 E.
Euclid Ave., Case No. PZ-37-03, subject to the building permit for 1201 Burning Bush not being issued until the sewer
improvements are made at 1201 Burning Bush Lane. Merrill Cotten seconded the motion.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Merrill Cotten made a motion to approve the
minutes of the September 25 meeting, seconded by Richard Rogers. The September meeting minutes were approved
4-0, with one abstention by Leo Floros. At 9:55 pm, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No PZ-38-03, a Plat of
Resubdivision for 1320-1340 N. River Road.
Judy Connolly, Senior Platmer, presented the case. She said the Petitioner is seeking to resubdivide the site and create
an 18-lot subdivision. The plat request was properly noticed by posting a Public Hearing sign on the Subject
Properties. In addition, Staff mailed a courtesy notice to the neighbors who abut the Subject Property. She said that
the Subject Property is located on the west side of River Road, between Tano Lane and Pin Oak Drive. The property
consists of a single lot of record and contains a commercial business with related improvements. The commercial
business is a legal non-conforming use and was allowed to remain because it was in existence when the Village
annexed the property. However, it is zoned R1 Single Family and the Land Use Map designates this property for
Single Family Residence.
Ms. Connolly said the plat under review would resubdivide the subject property from one lot of record to 18 lots of
record and create a new public street. The proposed redevelopment of the Subject Property as a Single Family
subdivision would be consistent with the property's current zoning classification and the development of the
surrounding properties. She said that the plat and proposed lots would comply with the Development Code
requirements and that the Petitioner is not seeking any type of relief from the Development Code or the Zoning
Ordinance. Other Departments have reviewed the plat and found that it was prepared in accordance with Village
Codes.
Ms. Connolly pointed out that the Subject Property is located in a Floodplain and is required to meet even more
stringent storm water detention regulations to ensure that the new development does not create adverse impacts on the
surrounding area. She said that the Village's Engineering Division supports development in the floodplain, subject to
the project complying with all Village, IDNR, and FEMA regulations. She said that these regulations address
protecting the new development, which entails elevating the new structures above the Base Flood Elevation, and
protecting the surrounding area, which requires providing compensatory storage so floodwaters are not displaced onto
lanning & Zoning Commission PZ-38-03
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2
neighboring properties. She said that the Village is very involved in managing floodplain areas and that the Village's
Codes are actually more strict than either IDNR or FEMA with respect to floodplain building restrictions.
Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner has submitted preliminary engineering calculations to demonstrate how the storm
water detention requirements will be met. However, the final engineering plans need to be finalized and meet Village
Code before the Village will issue a grading permit, which is later on in the development process. The Petitioner's
engineer is in the process of finalizing the design and plans. Also, the Petitioner is preparing Homeowner Association
d6cuments that will include regulations that require the detention sYstem to be maintained on an annual basis to ensure
its maximum operational capability. Also, the association documents will include provisions that will ensure funds are
available to replace the detention system in the foreseeable future. She said that it is important that the future property
owners are aware that the detention system is a privately owned system and that it is the association's responsibility to
maintain and replace it.
Ms. Connolly said that the proposed Plat of Subdivision seeks to create 18 lots of record and that the plat and new lots
comply with Village regulations; the Petitioner is not seeking relief from the Development Code or the Zoning
Ordinance. The size of the proposed lots meet the minimum Village Code requirements and the homes will be
constructed according to Village regulations.
Jeff Wulbecker, Village Engineer, spoke about federal and Village flood plain rules and how they affected this
proposed subdivision. He clarified that certain lots in the proposed subdivision would not be able to be developed for
at least five years, after a levee wall is built, because they are part of the CompensatOry Storm Water Storage design.
Kevin Lewis, design engineer with IG Consultants, 300 Marquardt Drive, Wheeling, IL, was sworn in. He said that he
represents the developer. Mr. Lewis reviewed site drawings and responded to questions from the Commission
regarding lot size, curb cuts and cul-de-sac frontage lots.
Richard Rogers moved to recommend approval of a Plat of Resubdivision for 1320-1340 N. River Road, PZ-38-03.
Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m. Merrill Cotten made a motion to approve the
minutes of the September 25 meeting, seconded by Richard Rogers. The September meeting minutes were approved
4-0, with one abstention by Leo Floros. At 7:37 pm, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No PZ-39-03, a request for a
Conditional Use for a PUD.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case and said the Petitioner's proposal calls for the development as a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The review procedure for a PUD requires Preliminary Plan review and
recommendation by the P&Z Commission and final action by the Village Board. Following completion of the
Preliminary Plan process, the Petitioner will be required to obtain Final Plan approval. It's important that the
Commission keeps this in mind and that tonight's review is on a conceptual design. All details must be resolved prior
to review of the Final Plan. Final Plan approval entails review and recommendation by the P&Z Commission and final
action by the Village Board. The Petitioner is proposing a multi-use development consisting of: a 4,500 square-foot
bank with five drive-thru lanes; a two-story, 16,000 square-foot office building; and a 4,754 square-foot restaurant
with a drive-thru. In addition to these buildings, the development would include parking, landscaping and stormwater
detention improvements. The proposed development is consistent with the Village's Land Use Plan, which designates
the Subject Property as "Community - Commercial".
Ms. Connolly said the proposed development consists of three buildings located on a single lot of record. Since the
Zoning Ordinance requires each primary structure to be located on its own lot of record, the Petitioner is seeking
approval for a PUD to allow multiple structures on a single lot. The proposed PUD would result in a more cohesive
development of the irregular shaped property because it minimizes potential traffic impacts and allows for better
interior circulation between the three uses.
Planning & Zoning Commission PZ-39-03
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 2
Ms. Connolly noted that the site plan indicates that each of the proposed buildings would meet the Zoning Ordinance's
minimum setback requirements. The B-3 District allows a maximum building height of 30 feet. In reviewing the
Petitioner's proposal, Staff found that the 28-foot building height of the proposed restaurant meets code, but the
proposed 2-story office building measures 34-feet in height. This exceeds the District's height limitations and requires
Variation approval. While the majority of the office building complies with the height limitations, the building
includes some design/entry features that extend to a height of 34-feet. Also, specific building elevations have not been
provided for the bank building. Without this information, Staff cannot confirm whether the building would meet the
District's height requirements. Since relief has not been requested, the bank building would be required to comply
with the District's maximum height limitation. Most of the proposed site plan complies with the Village's parking
setback requirements, but there are two areas that require approval of a Variation: The first area is the 19 angled
parking spaces along the east lot line of the site require a minimum setback of 10 feet, the Petitioner proposes a 5-½
foot setback.
Ms. Connolly noted that the proposed site plan includes parking spaces along the south and west sides of the office
building. These spaces would be accessed directly from the existing service drive that runs along the rear of the Plaza
United center. The Plat of Survey indicates that an existing easement along the south lot line of the Subject Property
allows access to/from the Plaza United Shopping Center, so vehicles are permitted to use this easement to access the
Petitioner's lot of record. The proposed parking spaces along the south and west sides of the office building have no
setback since they would be accessed directly from the adjacent service drive. The Petitioner is seeking relief from the
Village's 10-foot parking setback requirement, however, Staff is concerned that this proposed configuration may
conflict with delivery trucks or service vehicles using the existing service drive to gain access to the tenant spaces
within the Plaza United center. A potential solution may be to limit the parking spaces in this area to employee
parking only, which would restrict the amount of vehicle turnover. Another alternative would be to eliminate these
parking spaces altogether, which would eliminate potential traffic Conflicts and provide additional
landscaping/screening opportunities for the office building Based on the calculations provided by the Petitioner, the
overall development would have a total lot coverage calculation of 74.18%, which falls just below the District's
maximum allowable lot coverage of 75%. The Preliminary Landscape Plan provides a conceptual design with regards
to the size, general type, and location of proposed plantings for the Subject Property. The information provided
indicates that the amount of the interior parking lot landscaping meets code. However, the Petitioner must submit a
more detailed landscape plan that includes specifics regarding the size and species for all landscaping as part of the
Final Plan submittal. It is important that the landscaping plan maintain a consistent theme throughout the entire
development and include hardy, salt-resistant ground cover and plants, that it provide more year-round screening, and
that the foundation landscaping for the office building consist of materials that are an appropriate height and species.
As a PUD, it is anticipated that the proposed development will contain cross access and shared parking agreements
between all three of the uses. Although the project would be a unified development, the Petitioner has provided a Site
Plan that delineates the 'parking fields' for each of the proposed uses. The Petitioner's proposal exceeds the amount of.
required parking based on the combination of proposed uses. The Staff Report includes a detailed analysis of code
requirements vs. the Petitioner's proposal. Due to these circumstances Staff recommends the Petitioner revise the Site
Plan by eliminating the 12 parking spaces along the south and west sides of the office building as well as additional
spaces along the Dempster Street frontage. The removal of additional parking spaces will allow for some additional
green space both along the perimeter and within the interior of the proposed development, while the overall number of
available parking spaces would still exceed the amount of required parking.
The proposed PUD calls for a combined tenant sign at the comer of Busse & Dempster and a freestanding sign in front
of the Culver's restaurant. The size and location of the Culver's freestanding sign on the Dempster Street frontage
complies with the Sign Code regulations. However, the prop°Sed 28 SqUare-foot menu board sign (consisting of three
panel boards) exceeds the 16 square foot limitation. Recently, the P&Z approved an oversized menu board for a new
restaurant that featured three distinct restaurants/tenants. In comparison, Culver's would be the only tenant/user. Also,
the Petitioner is requesting a 16 square foot ~pre}°rder menu, board sign in addition to the oversized menu board.
While the request may be consistent with the drive-thru restaurant industry's expectations, the requests do not comply
with Village regulations. Reducing the size of the menu board to no more than 20 square feet would be consistent with
Planning & Zoning Commission PZ-39-03
Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Page 3
previous relief granted by the P&Z and still allow the Petitioner flexibility to promote menu items. The Petitioner
proposes a freestanding sign that would be shared by the bank, the Culver's restaurant, and up to four tenants of the
office building. The proposed sign's size, location and materials comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations.
Ms. Connolly pointed out that the Petitioner's submittal only included elevations for the office building and Culver's
restaurant. The office building elevations indicate that the building facade will be a tan colored brick and include stone
accents. The design incorporates large, expansive windows and curvilinear entrance features to provide architectural
relief for the flat roof. The elevations for the Culver' s restaurant indicate the building will have a blue metal roof and
the facade will be constructed primarily of white brick or split faced CMU with some blue soldier course accents. To
ensure that the proposed development will have a consistent design theme, more detailed information and material
samples must be provided for each of the proposed buildings.
The proposed office building exceeds the 30-foot height limitation for the B-3 District. The design of the building is
primarily a flat-roofed structure with several curvilinear entrance features that are intended to soften the look of the
building. Although the proposed design features may imProve the appearance 0f thC' ~fiiidihg, there is' fi6 apparent
hardship that requires the building to exceed the 30-foot limitation. However, as part of the PUD approval process, the
Village Board may approve deviations from the bulk regulations when they find that the proposed exception would not
adversely impact the value or use of any other property.
The Petitioner's proposal would utilize the existing curb cuts on Busse and Dempster, in addition to maintaining access
to the adjacent Plaza United commercial development. Staff's preliminary analysis indicates that the eastern most
driveway must be modified to create a dedicated left-turn lane onto Dempster Street. The dedicated left-turn lane will
allow traffic to exit the site safely and minimize congestion within the development. Also, directional arrows must be
painted onto the pavement surface (per the Village's Traffic Engineer's direction) to ensure safe interior cimulation
throughout the site.
The Petitioner's Site Plan indicates that the bank's drive-thru lanes would be located along the building's west
elevation. Staff reviewed access to the site and found that by eliminating one drive-thru lane that the bank could be
reconfigured by shifting the drive-thru lanes to the south or east side of the building. This modification to the site plan
would make the highly visible west elevation of the bank building more aesthetically pleasing while also creating a
safer interior circulation pattern. Also, the petitioner must address how traffic flow will function along the south
portion of the site. Twelve parking spaces are proposed with access off of a service alley that contains dumpsters,
delivery areas and an enclosed children's play area. The site plan must be redesigned to reflect the outdoor play area
and any other permanent structures in the service area that would impede traffic flow.
In conjunction with development projects the Village's Development Code requires right-of-way improvements such
as the installation of parkway trees and public sidewalks. The Subject Property currently contains public sidewalk
along a portion of the site's perimeter (along Busse Road frontage) and some parkway trees near the intersection of
Busse & Dempster. Prior to review of the Final Plan the Petitioner must revise the plans to include the required right-
of-way improvements.
In order to approve the proposed PUD request, it must meet the Conditional Use Standards listed in the Zoning
Ordinance. The standards relate to the Conditional Use not having a detrimental impact on the public health, safety,
morals, comfort or general welfare; the Conditional Use fi6t being injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other
properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; that the design allows for providing
utilities, adequate drainage, with minimal congestion on Village streets; and compliance of the Conditional Use with
the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances.
The Petitioner's request to construct a bank with a drive-thru, a restaurant with a drive-thru, and an office building
requires Conditional Use approval for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The information submitted for review
indicates that the proposed uses would work well together at this location. However, additional information is
required, as well as modifications to the plans, in order for the Petitioner to demonstrate that the proposed PUD

The Hansons and Ms. Skrzynski came this morning to again discuss concerns about their
neighbors at 104 N. Elmhurst Ave., who may be operating an auto painting business out of their
garage. This has been going on for five years. The noise, smell of paint, and working all hours
of the day and night are a nuisance to their neighborhood.
Mrs. Hanson has called the Village on numerous occasions complaining about this situation and
has also spoken to and met with Environmental Health Coordinator Bob Roels. Mrs. Hanson
feels it should be the Village's responsibility to enforce the Village Codes and stop these
residents from operating a car painting business out of their garage.
Mr. Janonis told the Hansons that he is well aware of this case and he will continue to monitor it.
He will also check into whether or not the fence painting is a violatiOn of the Village's Property
maintenance code.
