Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council Monday, June 4, 2018 . Page 15 Coyne said, we casl ?separately decide, hey, I don't want.it and that's our purview, but when we sit in these chairs, all we are doing is "either saying, did they ineet. the requireinents and should we have allowed tlus to, go on the ballot or not and go to the people?. You all should have the vote. Not us. Mr. McDowell asked, I guess specifically, what would be the requirements in putting it on the ballot? Mr. Coyne replied, if Council votes at the next meeting to put it on the ballot, it would be certified through the Clerk and placed on the ballot in November. Mr. McDowell asked; what measures will you guys use to determine whether or not to put it on the ballot? - Mr. Coyne replied, first of all, I.tlunk the Council is listening to the members of the community here tonight. . Council President:Saponaro stated, this is. one of the requirements. Mr. Coyne stated; it is also a residential use classification in a residential area of the Village. The zoning code you mentioned has been, in effect for a number of years. In 2003 actually I think it was first passed. It was amended again in 2006. That was done in a way that the Council saw that it was appropriate to have tliose use- classificatioris. Clearly tliere were prior hearings when.many of us weren't here a dozen or so years ago: This use classification: was adopted by the Village as one of the use classifications in a. residential area appropriate. Any property owner can come in here, at least a dozen from U-1 to U-7 plus subsections . therein; can come and ask that their property be rezoned througli those use classifications. The process is uniformly followed. You go to the Planning Commission and if Plannirig Commission approves. it it then gets referred to Council and Council takes appropriate action after thuee readings and after haviiig a public hearing. But it's important to ` remember once the zoning changes, the applicant still has to follow all of the regulatory, provisions in the Code. I think that's very,important. The Village will do that: There are thiiigs in this kind of use elassification that are a little bit unusual. I think theyare unusual and perceived as a positive way. The homeowner's association; for example, is.requ'ired, in fact a maintenance free community is required and tliose are things that can be reyiewed by the Planning Commission and the Council. Also, as Law Director, some of those legal agreeinents can be reviewed. If Plaivling Commission and Council wants, the Law Director to ieview the homeowner's association documents, we can do tliat. I don't remember who spoke, : I think it was Mrs. Fabrizio,.but the provision about the every other year inspection for the Fire Department is probably. in tlie homeowner's associatioil documents. That's not required but those kinds of things cail be required if you have an HOA. 1f you build single-family residences in a standard subdivision, that typically isn't done. All of the property is maiiltained by each individual owner. There's
