B-5 Ordinance
Mr. Callaghan showed on the map where in the proposed Village Center
area his property is located. It is presently zoned R-1. At one
time it was known as the Babiarz property and is already in the Village.
Mr. Callaghan would like to have his property rezoned so he can go
ahead and take steps to develop it. He stated that he agrees that a
unified approach to the Village Center should be taken by the property
owners. He also feels that it would be in the best interest of the
property owners to cooperate but he has had trouble in attempting this.
At this time he has a working relationship with the people who own
about 15 acres adjacent to his land so they would like to ask for
rezoning on about 25 acres.
Chairman Genrich stated that he had asked Mr. Callaghan to be present
at tonight's meeting so that he could give some input to the discussion
on the proposed B-5 Ordinance.
Commissioner Keister asked Mr. Callaghan if he had seen the proposed
ordinance and if it fits in with what he has in mind for his property.
Mr. Callaghan replied that he has seen it and it is fine.
After discussion, it was the opinion of the majority members of the
Commission that "if in conjunction with a bank" should be deleted after
Banks in 7.2.1 Permitted Uses of the B-5 Ordinance. There was also
a question raised regarding b-8 on page 6. Commissioner Harris will
give this further consideration and make a recommendation. There will
be further reviewal of this at the Public Hearing on May 4. The
Public Hearing Notice will be on the ordinance with the above deletion.
At Commissioner Harris' request, Mr. Delaney will draft a definition
of a recreation club.
A copy of the Public Hearing Notice, the B-5 Ordinance and a special
letter will be mailed to the property owners. The ordinance and Public
Hearing Notice will also be mailed to those on the mailing list for
the President's Round Table and the Village Board.
Chairman Genrich stated that he would like to hold the Public Hearing
on the revised setbacks on May 4, also. This will be at 8:00 and the
B-5 Ordinance Public Hearing will be at 8:30.
Capital Improvement Program
Chairman Genrich asked Commissioner Keister to explain the policy
statement he had made regarding the Capital Improvement Program.
Commissioner Keister stated that the purpose of the statement is to
request that the Plan Commission have prior input ontopics in the
Capital Improvement Program which require planning before they are
put into the Program. He feels that there are a number of items

that should be brought by the Staff to the Plan Commission for their
input.
After further discussion, the Plan Commission expressed their concern
that they have not been able to have the input into the Public Works
area that they would like and they were agreeable to Chairman Genrich
drafting a proposed resolution to be forwarded to the Board.
Adjournment
Commissioner Kandel moved to adjourn. Commissioner Force seconded
the motion and the meeting adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
