Following regular discussion, Commissioner Schinderle asked staff about some drawings that had been distributed with the packets but that were not associated with a case on the agenda. Staff said that those were inadvertently distributed. Chairman Sobkoviak asked Mr. Garrigan about an issue related to parking tickets for vehicles parked in the street during unauthorized hours. The Village Board and the Plan Commission needs to institute a policy for the future that will accommodate all t he cars a family might have. Every family should have space for four cars parked off of the street. We can’t make this retroactive, but let’s make sure that this is taken care of.
Mr. Garrigan pointed out that part of the reason for this is that sidewal ks that cross through driveways are being blocked. Commissioner Kachel said that walkways in general need to be discussed. Chairman Sobkoviak said that many people don’t park their cars in the garage. So we need to make sure that a plan is set up that a ccommodates that practice. This should be a priority. Ms. Sheetz said that one option could be to change the configuration of the garages so that they are located farther back, thereby allowing more room between the street and the garage. Commissioner M anning asked Chairman Sobkoviak if he was suggesting having space for four cars besides the space in the garage. Chairman Sobkoviak said that he was. Mr. Garrigan asked if the 2003 schedule needs to be formally adopted, to which Chairman Sobkoviak said that he did not believe so. Commissioner Kachel brought up a survey that he had in his possession and about which he had some questions. Chairman Sobkoviak asked if there were any other concerns, and, hearing none, declared the meeting adjourned at 7:36 pm. _________________ Respectfully submitted, Warren Lindsay Recording Secretary Karick & Associates, Inc.
