Trustee Berman suggested that the Board consider adopting a moratorium for a period of six months on banking and similar uses to give the Board time to review the impact of the enormous number of banks that have come into the Village;he believes the primary focus of the ordinance should be on bank and banking type facilities,particularly on critical frontage areas;he believes there will be inevitable consolidation in the industry and he is concerned that there will be a proliferation of empty banking facilities;he does not believe that the impact of other non-sales tax- generating uses in the business districts needs to be included in the moratorium at this time;he believes that the best way to keep this as narrowly focused as is appropriate while still accomplishing the goal is to address the moratorium to zoning changes,zoning approval,plan approval and special uses. Trustee Braiman agrees with Trustee Berman;he thinks ultimately all non-sales tax-generating uses need to be addressed,but he agrees that banking facilities should be the immediate focus. Trustee Kahn agrees,and suggested that this issue could be addressed during the upcoming review of the Comprehensive Plan. Moved by Trilling,seconded by Berman,to defer action on this issue until the March 15,2004 Regular Meeting. Upon roll call,Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 4—Braiman,Berman,Kahn,Trilling NAYS: 0—None ABSENT: 2—Glover,Johnson Motion declared carried.

Upon roll call,Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 4—Braiman,Berman,Kahn,Trilling NAYS: 0—None ABSENT: 2—Glover,Johnson Motion declared carried.
