NIINUTES of a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees held at 5:00 P -M -9
April 16, 1962 at the Village Office.
A. Public Hearing '
Hearing was called to order at 5:00 P.M. by Mayor Marcham.
There were present 20 residents, 2.real estate brokers, 2 subdivision people and
Village officials as listed below.
The Mayor read the first Proposed Amendment to Ordinances:
"RESOLVED that Section 7a of Article!XI of the Village Ordinances which was
added by resolution adopted February 6, 1962, be amended to read as follows:
SECTION 7a. Size of Lots. Lot size in the residence.district shall be
as follows:
Minimum average width 150 feet
Minimum average depth 150 feet"
and requested remarks for and against this amendment.
After considerable discussion it appeared to be the consensus of.opinion.that..the
average width of 150 feet was too large and that probably 100 feet average width would
be more realistic than the existing 125 feet.
Mayor Narcham then read:
"SECTION 13 -a- Subdivision of Lots. No lot or plot of land shall be'sold,
divided or set off in such a manner that either the portion sold,:'divided
or set off or the portion remaining,
Shall have less than the minimum lot size prescribed by regulations
relating to the district.-in which it is situated, or
Shall fail to provide the minimum yard requirement.specified by the
regulations relating to the district in which it is, situated in respect
to any building or use then existing, or '
Shall have thereon a building which covers more than the maximum
percentage of the lot area specified by the building coverage regulations
relating to the district in which it is situated.
