A P R I L 2 0 0 5 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT M ONTHLY R E P O R T . The month of April, with the advent of springtime weather brings the department into the busiest time of the calendar year. Louis and Serena return to their municipal center grounds pond; and this year for the first time they have actually decided to nest on the swan island. Temporary special event requests increase, are processed by staff, and placed on standing committee agendas for consideration. And of course the number of permits issued through Permit Control balloons in volume. Of particular note this month; the village adopted the newest version of the 2004 Edition of the International Plumbing Code. The revision puts the village in great shape, and makes it even easier for the plumbing and construction industry to utilize the most modern methods and materials when constructing building plumbing systems. The revision also cuts about 35 pages of redundant information from the ordinance thus making it more user friendly. Roosevelt University is celebrating its 60th anniversary. And of course Roosevelt University Schaumburg is excited about this historical milestone. As such Roosevelt will be placing celebratory banners in specified locations on Golf Road and McConnor Parkway. Congratulations to this critically important piece of Schaumburg's educational system. Although the Metra Schaumburg Station is not yet finished, all O/M details have been codified and the department is now setting into motion the last two details prior to eventual completion; accepting proposals for leasing the coffee vendor space inside the facility, and completing the security system plan for presentation to committee for consideration. Procedural changes are a significant aspect of the new Community Development Department. Recently the Planning Services Division instituted a new tracking system for projects which have entered into the Project Review Group process. This software was developed with help from the Information Technology Department and a private consultant. The software provides easy access to determine the current step in the PRG process for each and every submitted project. Interdepartmental assistance from IT staff was most appreciated.
