Area Limitations Trustee Pelizzari explained that initially, the Development Control Ordinance stated specific maximum square footage for driveways. It didn't consider the size of lots or two-family dwellings. The proposal will allow greater flexibility for larger parcels but will not increase driveway size for the majority of lots. The Ordinance is contained on the omnibus vote list for the reconvened meeting. This petition is a result of the request from the Western Springs Park District to permit portable lavatories in the parks.
Current regulations treat reoccurring temporary uses as permanent uses.
The amendment would remove the Park District request from this process and give the Department of Code Enforcement the authority to permit portable lavatories to be placed in the parks from April 1 st to October 31 st of each year with such screening as may be reasonably necessary to minimize the visual impact of the portable lavatories. The amendment is on the reconvened agenda. All appointments are recommended by the Planning and Zoning Committee and are on the agenda for approval. There will be a request for one more stop sign probably at the July meeting. The appointment is recommended by the Committee and is on the agenda for approval.
