Discussion followed regarding masonry trash enclosures.
J. Sobkoviak suggested making it a combination of masonry and
wood, or no less than 25% masonry on trash enclosures. Also
suggested adding text to maintain everything in good repair.
R. Russ commented you might not need masonry trash enclosures on
residential, just commercial. M. Krippel stated he would like to
see trash enclosure left as is in the ordinance._
C c3ua,
Mr. Waldock stated the requirement to keep everything in good repair
would affect the occupancy permit. If not in compliance with site
plan ordinance, the occupancy permit could be removed from the
violating structure.
M. Krippel asked what the costs or fees would be for the site plan
review. Mr. Waldock stated he anticipates setting a $100 fee for
this review which would be established by resolution.
R. Mentzer moved to recommend to the Village Board that they approve
the Site Plan Review Ordinance as presented by the Planner with the
two sets of amendments. Seconded by J. Anderson. Vote by roll call.
Krippel, yes; Anderson, yes; Mentzer; yes; Bayer, yes; Sobkoviak, yes.
5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Case No. 210 - 321892 Continuation of Public Hearing for amendment to
Ordinance No. 674 to establish a new Building Code and separate this
regulation from the Zoning Code, Village -wide.
Mr. Waldock stated it is not our intent to weaken the BOCA Code but
just the opposite, to strengthen it in terms of safety and quality
items within the code. Not recommending any other changes to the text
other than to add language which would cover a requirement for
contractors to keep the streets free of mud and debris from traffic
moving onto and off of construction sites.
There was a short discussion regarding sump pump tie -in to storm sewer.
Mr. Waldock stated this would be prohibitive due to additional costs.
This would need to be addressed in the Subdivision Regulations.
J. Sobkoviak stated he would like to see this prohibited.
M. Krippel commented that there are a lot of technical amendments
in this ordinance, and that it might be a good idea to get some outside
professional review. He feels there are several things that are
ambiguous such as electrical outlets 6 feet apart, 200 amps in every
home, and the abandonment of well section especially the one on
Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals - gas and oil wells.
Feels there are some loopholes and we should get some outside review

the construction season, however point out to the Board that there
are significant areas of concern and name some of them and recommend
that this be reviewed further.
After a short discussion, the Board agreed that this code should be
adopted before the building season begins.
J. Anderson moved to recommend to the Village Board to approve the

separate this regulation from the zoning code and also to be mindful
of several discrepancies, especially regarding the gas and oil wells
and certain specific electrical questions. Seconded by H. Bayer.
