Also present were Village Administrator Thomas Durkin, Director of Community Development & Information Systems Mike Petrick, Finance Director Heather Wagonblott, Director Public Works Ed Dolezal, Chief of Police Jeff Wold, Village Attorney David Silverman and Acting Village Clerk Leti Anselme. VP Moorman Schumacher informed everyone present that the meeting was being recorded and anyone speaking at the meeting deems his/her consent to the recording of their likeness and speech. CITIZEN/SPECIAL REQUESTS/PUBLIC HEARING A. Citizen s Request Gregory Leach Discussion of Ordinance 1885 Gregory Leach of Gardner Luxury Homes was present with his partners Judy Gardner, Rich Stevenson and John Polanski. They are builders in the Aux Sable subdivision. They have come before the Board to inquire about ordinance 1885, which was passed in February of this year. Mr. Leach was not aware that this ordinance would go into effect May 1, 2017. He was given a copy of the ordinance the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and wants to bring a few items to the Board s attention; full basement and full width driveway requirements. They have five families that are in the process and approval of purchasing homes. These families did not expect the permit fee increase, due to the new requirements. He would like to ask the Board if they would be willing to exempt these five families from this ordinance. Trustee Scaggs asked if the permits were submitted before May 1, 2017. Mr. Leach stated that they were submitted after May 1, 2017, since they were waiting on financial approval. Trustee Scaggs asked Chief Building Official Steve Kuczkowski in regards to the driveway with a three car garage, if it is to have an angle. Kuczkowski stated that with a three car garage, the driveway can be tapered, it was very specific in the ordinance. He stated that the two car garage instead of being 17 or 18, it would need to be 24. It would need to be the full width. It seems that most of driveways in town have pavers and asphalt next to concrete, extending them. Petrick wanted to clarify with Mr. Leach if tapering the driveway is acceptable. Mr. Leach stated that is not how he understood it, but it would work. Board Minutes 1 June 5, 2017
Petrick stated that the other issue would be the basement with these five homes. Trustee Scaggs asked what the reasoning was requiring full basements. Kuczkowski stated that all annexation agreements were reviewed and many of them required full basements. VP Moorman Schumacher stated that wasn t is talked about in the building code if there were special circumstances for any permits, due to the water table being too high or ground conditions that would be looked at for basements. Kuczkowski stated that was correct, but none of these would qualify for that. The Board was asking questions on the size of the basements. Mr. Leach stated it would be 1,200 square feet. They look at it as a safety issue for shelter during a storm or tornado. VP Moorman Schumacher asked what the cost difference is. Mr. Leach stated it is about $5,500. VP Moorman Schumacher would like to look at these individually case by case. Attorney Silverman asked if the Village planned on changing the ordinance. Kuczkowski stated that the Board has the ability to make the exception or take to a hearing to review. Mr. Leach stated that he understands that there will be new rules and changes, but he is here to ask the Board to let these five families go under the old code. VP Moorman Schumacher asked Mr. Leach to bring the Village the paperwork for these five homeowners for us to review. Trustee Perinar wanted to clarify that Mr. Leach would not be using this as a selling point to inform any of his future clients that the Village would be allow you to not have a full basement. Mr. Leach stated that if the wording is going to change to full basements, he will comply with it. Judy Gardner, partner with Gardner Luxury Homes, stated that they are trying to bring affordable, beautiful quality homes to the public. They may make less than other builders, but they feel they give a lot of value. Most of their clients are referrals. The extra fee that the resident would have to pay is somewhat high. Rich Stevenson, with Gardner Luxury Homes, they are not opposed to the ordinances. He just ask that these changes get published. He did not see them in the minutes. He stated that Mr. Leach did not know of the changes, until he was told verbally. He would have appreciated an email or a letter notification. B. Public Hearing Annexation Agreement Karis Capital LLC Petrick stated that he spoke to Karis Capital s attorney and they would like to postpone to come before the Board at the June 19, 2017 meeting. Trustee Greco made a motion to continue the public hearing at the June 19, 2017 Board meeting at 7:43 p.m. for an Annexation Agreement Karis Capital LLC. Seconded by Trustee Perinar.
