COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS
The Village Council reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendations regarding the
parking of commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods. Discussion ensued on the
following issues: vehicles with a gross vehicle weight in excess of 1 ton; stretch limousines; the
percentage of advertising allowed; and simplifying the ordinance by specifying height, length,
gross weight, and/or carrying capacity of the vehicle. Village Attorney Len Rubin will review
ordinances used in other municipalities and consult with Mr. Knight and staff concerning the
amount of advertising signage allowed in order to simplify enforcement. It was suggested that
the draft ordinance be publicized to the residents by advertising it in the newsletter and on the
home page of the Village website. This item was forwarded to the next Regular Session agenda.
REORGANIZATION OF COUNTRY CLUB ADVISORY BOARD AND RECREATION
ADVISORY BOARD
Discussion took place concerning reorganization of the Country Club Advisory Board and the
Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Knight advised that the Recreation Advisory Board functions
well in its present configuration, and recommended that no changes be made to this board.
Regarding the Country Club Advisory Board, Mr. Knight recommended realigning this board to
focus on golf operations. Mr. Knight reviewed specific recommendations for membership
composition, terms, and authority.
Discussion ensued on adding a requirement to the Recreation Advisory Board for one pool
member, one tennis member, and one field/court sports member. It was noted that one of the
present alternate members of the Recreation Advisory Board is also a tennis member.
Discussion was held concerning membership requirements for the proposed Golf Committee,
with regard to the appointment of the president or a member of the Men's Golf Association (MGA)
and Women's Golf Association (WGA). By consensus, the Council determined not to specify
that the MGA and WGA representatives must be the President or Chair of the association.
