BILL 758 - ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR VIOLATIONS
Discussion was held concerning Bill 758, a proposed ordinance
amending Section 1-9 of Chapter 1 of the Village Code, establishing
an additional assessment for violation of municipal ordinances and
violation of a state penal or criminal statute within the Village.
This item will be placed on the Regular Session agenda of October
13, 1994. Council requested an accompanying RCA prior to the next
meeting.
HARBOUR FOINT MARINA P.U.D. AMENDMENT - PARCEL A
Discussion was held between the Council and Stephan Yeckes,
architect for the project, concerning a request to amend the
Harbour Point Marina Planned Unit Development to allow seven
townhomes in Parcel "A". Additionally, the proposed modification
maintains ten parking spaces, and converts seven commercial boat
slips which abut Parcel "A" to privately held and maintained slips
by Parcel "A" owners. This was forwarded to the Regular Session of
October 13, 1994, with the same conditions as required by the
Planning Commission, i.e., 5 ft. public sidewalk required on Monet
Road for the entire P.U.D. , from the cul-de-sac all the way to the
westerly limit of the P.U.D., and commercial parking area to be
constructed concurrent with Parcel "A". Further conditions stated

were to prohibit "live-aboards" in all boat slips, and to have
Homeowner Association documents approved by the Village Council.
Written policy prohibiting the renting out of boat slips will also
be a condition, and is to be included either in the P.U.D.
ordinance or the Homeowner Association documents. All conditions
are to be included with the P.U.D. ordinance prior to passage,
subject to review and approval by the Village Attorney.
HARBOUR POINT MARINA P.U.D. AMENDMENT - PARCEL D
Discussion was held concerning another amendment~to the Harbour
Point Marina Planned Unit Development to allow 24 townhomes in
Parcel "D". This modification would convert 24 commercial boat
slips which abut Parcel "D" to privately held and maintained slips
under the control of Parcel "D" owners. Tom Hogarth, Director of
Public Services, told the Council that the Planning Commission had
denied the amendment because of their concerns regarding lot width,
building set-backs, availability of convenient parking to remaining
commercial boat slips, and questions concerning the operation of
the marina and how it affects the entire P.U.D., and open spaces
"^ within this particular project.
Thomas Baird, the attorney representing Burg & Silvester, the
developer, addressed the Council regarding the project. Mr Baird
explained that although there is only one P.U.D., there are two
developers coming forward with projects, and one master developer.
Mr. Baird asked the Council to recognize that some of the issues
have not been generated by his client, and cannot be solely
resolved by his client. He did state that his client is prepared
to include a public sidewalk along their portion of the P.U.D. Mr.
Roland Borgland, architect for the project, also spoke before the
Council regarding the set-backs variances they are requesting, as
stated on the summary sheet. The same conditions regarding rentals
of boat slips, live-aboards, approval of Homeowner Association
documents, and review and approval by the Village Attorney, which
were attached to Parcel "A" apply to Parcel "D". This item will be
placed on the Regular Session agenda of October 13, 1994.
CABLE TV CONSULTANT SERVICES
Discussion was held concerning an~agreement with Liebowitz and
Associates for consultant services regarding cable television. The
Village Manager estimated that this agreement would not necessitate
spending more than $1,000.00. This item was forwarded to the
Regular Session agenda of October 13, 1994, with the suggestion of
a possible cap. The Council requested further backup on this item,
