MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - March 24,2004
The meeting was called to order by Greg Haussler with the following
present: Mary Brothers, John Egert, Peter Renich and Michael O'Brien.
Also present were Emma Hall, Fletcher Hall, Mike Hernandez, Debra
Hernandez, Roberta Bullard, and Trustee Tippin.
Approval of Agenda: Motion by Mary to approve the Agenda with the
change that the February 25, 2004 Minutes will be approved at the April
meeting. Michael seconded. Motion carried.
Approval of Minutes from February 25, 2004: These will be approved at
the April meeting.
Discussion/Action Pam Allen Re-plat: Pam Allen was represented by her
parents Fletcher and Emma Hall. Mary made a motion that this re-plat be
approved since there was not a need for a second water meter. Michael
seconded. Motion carried.
Discussion/Action Debra Hernandez Property Line: Mike Hernandez
presented a drawing of his property which included the main home and
the second house. He stated that when they purchased the property they
did not have it appraised and replaced the fence that was there with
the current fence and did not realize until later that the property
line markers were within 3 feet of the small house. He stated that
Terry Cox recommended that they go to the Planning Committee and
request a variance so the second meter could be removed outside the
fence. This meter was uncovered when they started digging water up the
old water lines to replace them. It was totally covered up when the
fence was installed. After discussion concerning other fences on that
side of the street and previous Planning decisions for variances Mary
made a motion that we approve the recommendation for this variance.
John seconded. Motion carried. The Hernandez's were advised that this
would have to be approved by the Village Board on April 13 and that we
recommend that they attend that meeting.
Discussion/Action Harry Paul Re-plat: Roberta Bullard represented the
Paul's on this. She stated that they wanted to realign property lines
on the current four lots they owned and they wanted the Planning
Committee to consider evacuating the current easements which had no
utilities on them. They wanted to move the utility easement between
Lots 4 and 5. The current utility easements cross thru a home on one of
the lots. We discussed this and clarified that they were not asking for
new lots but wanted to change property lines on their current lots.
Mary made a motion that we recommend the evacuation of the current
easement and replace it with the one the Paul's were requesting.
Michael seconded. Motion carried. Roberta Bullard was advised that this
would have to be approved by the Village Board on April 13 and that we
recommend she attend that meeting.
Discussion/Action Mission Statement: After a short discussion John
moved that we present the Mission Statement to the Village Board at the
April meeting. Peter seconded. Motion carried.
Old Business: Mary will prepare a list of lots that have had a second
home approved due to hardship so that a follow-up can be done on them.
Mary will also prepare a checklist of previous requests to the Planning
Committee for follow-up.
New Business: Mary advised that a realtor is looking a property on
Hiway 48 to be used as a RV Park. This will eventually be an agenda
item.
Adjournment - Meeting adjourned on a motion by Mary, seconded by Mike.
Motion carried. The next meeting will be on April 28, 2004 at 6:30 pm.
