Village President's Report
- Waukegan Road Corridor Study Update. On July 30 the Waukegan Road Committee reviewed the May Charrette outcomes and Village staff met with the Illinois Department of Transportation the next day. The Waukegan Road contract will be let in November; construction is scheduled to start in the spring of 2010 (depending on available stimulus dollars.) Board direction included maximizing the number of curb cut reductions and continuing to plan for unfunded projects to be ready if the Board decides to proceed at a later date.
Approved
- Maximum height of 12 feet for new sheds and related bulk regulations.
- "No Parking" restriction on North Branch.
- Removal of Waukegan Road gas street lamps.
- Dedication of Prairie Street right-of-way to accommodate a future cul-de-sac at the north end of the future Glenview Public Library.
- Contract amendment for Information Technology staffing to Prescient Solutions. Budget: $667,371 annually; three-year total of $2,002,115.
- Amendment to agreement with the Glenview Public Library for an "at-risk" temporary license.
- Amendment regarding telecommunications construction permits, which codify agreements made at the July 21 meeting with AT&T related to resident notification with regard to the placement of VRAD boxes. Vote 5-1 in favor.
- Amendment to code regarding Business Licenses addressing fees for businesses with multiple locations, how to delineate between businesses that are licensed by the State and those licensed by the Village, and the elimination of the requirement that licensing formed be notarized.
First Consideration
- Prohibition of video gaming terminals within the Village's corporate limits. This is in response to the State Video Gaming Act, passed last month.
- Conditional Use (B-2 use in an I-2 District) for Loyola Auto Service, 2055 Johns Drive.
- Conditional Use (B-3 use in an I-2 District) for Chicago Classic Cars, 2053 Johns Drive.
- Vacation of public alley between Glenview Road and Prairie Street -- from Harlem to Washington -- and public right-of-way at the northwest corner of Glenview and Harlem, adjacent to the Glenview Library. This land crosses the future Glenview Library parcel.
- Deletion of requirement that the Village inspect public swimming pools, spas and hot tubs from Municipal Code. This is because Cook County is already responsible for conducting such inspections.
Continued
- Amendments to Village Code to allow a 12-month requirement for site plan and conditional use expirations in which the initial permit must be attained. The expansion of this requirement is due to the economic downturn; petitioners are having trouble complying with the current deadline requirements.
- Declaration of salvage equipment and furniture. Because the Village received a large donation of furniture from a local company, it now has a great deal of old furniture, in poor condition, to dispose of. Staff recommends that it be declared surplus and staged in the former Police Station; that way it will be recycled when the former station is demolished.
