Resolution #0-72-36
President Armstrong read Resolution #0-72-36 , a resolution declaring
a moratorium on annexations and zoning changes until the Master Plan
has been approved and adopted.
Trustee Osmon felt adoption of the Master Plan may be delayed.
Carl Genrich, Chairman of the Plan Commission, stated that the Plan
Commission is interested in approval of the Master Plan soon;
however, it is not within the jurisdiction of the Plan Commission
to delay a developer because they are legally required to react to
a developer ' s proposal within a certain time. He further stated
that their vote was 6-3 to recommend the Concerned Citizens
resolution not be passed for these reasons .
Trustee Shirley felt the proposal of the Master Plan does not do
the job that was placed upon the Planner at the time he was hired,
that there are not three alternative proposals , nor a response to the
question of what would be our status if we took a "no growth"
attitude. He then suggested a meeting be held with representatives
of the Lake County Planning Board and the Lake County Board to
discuss the planning as they see it for the Lake County area
surrounding the Village, use services of NIPCI to evaluate the
Plan, and evaluate comments made at the Public Hearings. He
supported the resolution in order to free the Plan Commission to
work on the PUD Ordinance and the Master Plan.
Lengthy discussion followed regarding the various developments under
annexation or zoning request.
Because he felt this is an4nforceable resolution, Trustee Osmon
moved discussion of this matter be tabled. There was no second.
Trustee Mahoney moved Resolution #0-72-36 be approved as read
subject to inserting "annexations"in lieu of 'approval of any new
developments" in the last paragraph. Trustee Shirley seconded the
motion, and a roll call vote found the following:
AYES : Trustees Shirley, Rathjen, Mahoney, Driscoll
NAYES : Trustee Osmon
ABSENT: Trustee Fabish
The motion carried.
