Petitioner Comments
Ken Garrett introduced suggestions for code revisions to better address the placement of generators. Commission, Staff and Building and Zoning Official Ken Garrett discussed the placement of generators and whether they should be allowed in the side yard setback. The Commission discussed limiting the use of generators for emergency use only and not to be used for the main source of power to a home. The Commission also discussed amending section 158.019 to describe a generator as a piece of equipment like an a/c unit rather than as an accessory structure. Staff and Ken Garrett will present sample wording to P&Z Committee Members and continue discussion at next P&Z meeting, December 4, 2017.
The “Visibility Triangle" drawing in Section 158,024 was discussed and that there needs to be a reference to the distance for visibility for corners that would affect clearing of space for visibility on Village roads. Presently in section 158,024 there are triangles but no measurments and therefore either some measurements need to be added or the reference to the distance triangle should be removed. The Commission would like to see a list of visibility, using the IDOT standard code. Ken Garrett and Village Engineers will prepare the requested documents for the next P&Z meeting, December 4, 2017.
The Commission also discussed a prohibition on car ports as a temporary structure. The Commission agreedcar ports should not be allowed as a Temporary Stuctureand it was recommended that the definition be revised to only allow a temporary structure for 90 days in a 12-month period and a permit should also be required.
A draft ordinance was presented to the Commission to prohibit Short-Term rentals. This code change will not affect hotels, motels, and bed & breakfasts. This ordinance is modeled after the Village of Lincolnshire and would prohibit short term rentals defined as a rental of less than 30 days.
Motion Commissioners Koe moved and Pinchot seconded to approve Amendment to Chapter 158 of the Village Zoning Code Regulations for Short-Term Rentals with added definition of Bed and Breakfast,
Upon Roll Call:
