Continuing Case No. 237-0101789Z Continuation of the Zoning
Ordinance Update Process.
General discussion regarding Public Hearings, and the Zoning Map,
the need for notification of landowners and the plans for Public
Hearings, regarding the zoning ordinances.
JACK LOMAR (RESIDENT): Pete could you go through this once more
as to how this PUD will effect my property?
P. WALDOCK: What we had anticipated there was down zoning the
adjoining property. And then providing for a PUD designation
adjoining that zoning, which allows for continued use of existing
retail occupants of that site.
JACK LOMAR: The hardware is now closed, I am concerned about what
might go in there, with the PUD designation. With a PUD just about
anything could go in there. That bothers me.
M, KRIPPEL: They can propose anything.
P. WALDOCK: it will still require public hearings, to do any land
use that is not specifically listed. You would follow all the same
steps that you would to rezone any property. Even without a PUD
designation, someone could request a rezoning of the property. You
haven't lost anything with a PUD designation, in fact you have
gained, because of the extra restrictions of that category.
JACK LOMAR: Once you pass this thing, it will be Village wide, how
will you stop an individual?

P. WALDOCK: Through the legal rezoning process, just deny it.
JACK LOMAR: I think the purpose of zoning is to protect the Single-
Family home owner.
P. WALDOCK: I agree, the purpose of zoning is to provide for an
organized land use pattern within a community, so that it protects
not only Single-Family home owners, but it protects apartment
owners, all property owners. Jack has indicated that B-2 allows
more under this text, than B-2 does today. He has indicated that
he would be concerned if B-2 would be established for the John Bays
property, next door to his house, without some more constrictive
controls. That is why I proposed B-1 with a PUD. To make every-
body happy, if he can't agree with that, we may change our proposal
to get something that the neighborhood can live with as well as Mr.
Bays.
JACK LOMAR: That is with the existing covenants, can they be
changed.
P. WALDOCK: By mutual consent. The covenant is between the
Village and the property owner.
JACK LOMAR: He got that B-2 zoning because of the Covenants.
P. WALDOCK: I believe he will be agreeable to a PUDI because it
is the same thing he agreed to in 1985. obviously the mapping
issue is going to be a delicate one. I don't think at this point
we should let that influence how we draft our text. We should
start out with our ideal, and give it a chance to make it work.
M. KRIPPEL: Pete, before we go too far into this process and
public hearings, I think it makes sense to review the document at
a whole, then once we have done that, take a look at the map.
P. WALDOCK: When
we pass
the draft on
to the Village Board, our
next step will be
to look
at the map, I
want to get the draft out
of the way before
we start
on the map.
M. KRIPPEL: To identify any problem areas on the map in the event
we have to pull the document back and make some changes as a result
of viewing the map.
P. WALDOCK: The next step that we will do, is the Village attorney
and I will sit down, and he will have an opportunity to through
this in greater detail than he has now. The text is based on an
established code with in the State of Illinois, so he is not
anticipating finding a great deal of legal concerns, I expect him
also to find some areas of disagreement. Those questions will be
covered before it goes to the Village Board.
