Mayor Latta reported to the Board on a court petition regarding
Route 59 annexation. She stated the Judge ruled today that the
Village of Plainfield should consider all the properties as shown
on the map, "Exhibit A ".
Case No. 218 - 516892 Text Amendment
Establishment of regulation of conditional uses in all zoning
districts. Location: Village -wide.
Mr. Waldock briefly summarized his report to the Board on the draft
ordinance he prepared for the establishment of conditional uses.
Conditional uses are another name for special uses. A conditional
use is a use which is compatible and appropriate in a given zone
district, but only compatible and appropriate under certain conditions
and approvals.
In the Board's review of the draft ordinance it was agreed that if
the ordinance is passed that there be no variances allowed from the
conditions stated. Other concerns were: objection to convalescent
homes and day care centers in residential areas as they are high
traffic operations; discussed parking in rear of building - would
like rear of the building defined -and state so much buildable space
and so much hard surface area; signage may be too large, maybe
4 to 6 feet would be better.
The Board agreed the ordinance should be spelled out so people can
understand the requirements before coming to the Plan Commission.
