Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Water Meter Regulations.
This issue was raised as a result of the Plan Review for Calkins
twenty four (24) Unit Apartment Building. The Village Board
discussed this matter at length. Concern was voiced over
consistency of the application of the requirement for individual
meters for each unit in a stacked multi-unit building versus side-
by-side (or Townhouse) style buildings. The conclusion on this
discussion was to require duplexes and townhouses to use individual
water meters and allow stacked multi-unit (3 units or more)
buildings the option of a single meter for the building. Enclosed
with this memo is an ordinance intended to establish official
policy regarding water meter requirements for multi-unit buildings.
Staff recommends approval of the water meter regulation ordinance
as proposed. After some discussion by the Board in reference to
the drafted ordinance it was the consensus to allow Mr. Calkins to
install one (1) water meter in his building or install twenty-four
(24) meters if that is his desire. W. Sharp moved that the staff
has reviewed Mr. Calkins plans for one (1) water meter and staff
concurs, but he may desire to change this plan to additional meters
to accommodate his needs. As long as it meets the plumbing code,
it is approved by the Village. Seconded by M. Lambert. Voice
vote. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Administrator Van Vooren stated staff will explain to the Building
Inspector and Plumbing Inspector (consensus of the Board) that the
Developer/Builder has the ability to design the utility monitoring
system. The meters are consistent with what he needs as long as
it meets Illinois Plumbing Code. Attorney Harvey and Administrator
Van Vooren will compare a revised draft of our Tap-on Code.
W. Sharp moved to pay the bills for the period of March 16, 1992.
Seconded by M. Lambert. Vote by roll call. Lambert, yes; Ray,
yes; Sharp, yes; Dement, yes; Rock, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion
carried.

and Street Department.
