criteria for the Board to use and the parking usage is evaluated;Trustee Braiman seconded the motion.
Trustee Braiman agreed with Trustee Berman;he believes the approach to requests has been haphazard;the streets
are public streets maintained by public funds and the Village should seriously consider the implications when dealing
with requests such as this. Trustee Braiman believes the criteria should be created and reviewed in accordance with
the situation at hand before a decision is made.

particular issue now because neighbors have complained and the Park District has made a request.

no other business in the subdivision,which has very limited access;his concern is strictly for safety;he sees no
reason for cars to be parking at the park unless using the park;he urged the Board to take swift action now that the
weather is getting nicer.
