COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Rhodes expressed his thanks and that of the Plan
Commission for the helicopter ride provided for by the Village. He
stated that it was a wonderful experience and one that provided a
keen view of the Village's wonderful facilities as well as a good
look at the wetland areas in the Village.

swearing in of Mr. Braiman as a new trustee and the swearing in

impact analysis fees to be paid by the developer have been added to
the Preliminary Plan.
Mr. Pfeil referred to Mr. Raysa's letter of May 7, 1991 which drafts
a new section concerning the effective period of an approved
Preliminary Plan.
Mr. Raysa reviewed the proposed revision which suggests that the
Preliminary Plan be effective for a period of two years or the
Village can then act to revoke the plat. Mr. Raysa suggests that
this type of language as opposed to an automatic null and void
action would be best for the Village.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that some plans are approved as
exhibits to annexation agreements with twenty year terms. He
suggested that the Village mayface the issue of equal protection if

some plans are revoked and other plans are not.
Commissioner Rosenston noted his approval of this revision as it
would force staff and the Village to look into plans that were close
to the cut off period.
Mr. Raysa also noted that a plan which called for phasing would
still be required to be completed with the two year period.
Vice Chairman Goldspiel suggested it was necessary to have a time
frame for the Village and the Plan Commission to approve or
disapprove a plat.
All Commissioners agreed that some form of a time line was necessary
and Vice Chairman Goldspiel directed staff to research the present
time lines and recommend a specific time line chart for Village and
Plan Commission action.
Mr. Pfeil commented that if certain conditions exist or if changes
in conditions have taken place, a developer should perhaps be sent
back to the Village Board.
Mr. Raysa noted that this type of action is already possible.
Mr. Kuenkler addressed several of the proposed amendments noting
that page 46 added language relative to the preparation of seed
beds, page 46. 1 dealt with shoreline protection and the use of
material other than boulders, page 50 addressed the changes in
sanitary sewer pipe material and page 75 was a clarification of
street lighting.
