hearing until the February 3, 2016 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
Jeffrey Braiman, Braiman & Associates, was present and sworn in. He represents an
objector and requested that the hearing be Tabled until February 3, 2016 meeting so his
clients can be present to testify.
Ch. Smith asked Mr. Stilling if Tabling this public hearing until the February 3, 2016
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting would affect the date that this could possibly go
before the Village Board. Mr. Stilling stated that if the public hearing was held on either
January 20, 2016 or February 3, 2016, it would still go before the Village Board on
February 22, 2016.
The Petitioner, Mr. Steve Rybin, was present and sworn in. Mr. Rybin advised that he
would like to proceed with the hearing at the January 20, 2016 Planning & Zoning
Commission meeting. He will have secured the permit for his other work, which is
unrelated to the driveway, by that time and would like to move forward. Com. Cesario
explained to Mr. Rybin that Tabling the public hearing to the February 3rd meeting will
have no affect on when it would be heard before the Village Board. Mr. Rybin replied that
he would still like to move forward at the January 20th meeting.
Com. Moodhe asked about the other work. Mr. Stilling stated that the permit for the other
work will not have an affect on this request.
Mr. Braiman stated that his clients would prefer to be present for the public hearing to
answer questions in lieu of providing just a written statement, The driveway work will not
get done in February due to the weather anyway.
