Public Participation A. Public Comments. Resident Robert Van Het Hof showed support for the Mayfield Drive temporary road closure planned near his home but also had concerns regarding appropriate signage being provided to deter traffic from utilizing his driveway as a turnaround point. He further questioned whether an automatic or manually retractable bollard could be installed to deter traffic from violating the traffic calming measure. Trustee Sperling thanked Mr. Van Het Hof for his comments and noted staff would follow up with him regarding his concerns. B. Nicole Baron, 2400 Mayfield Drive, Regarding Fence Heights. Resident Nicole Baron noted the recently passed Unified Development Ordinance only permitted five-foot fences to be installed in her neighborhood which was not sufficient to contain her Doberman Pinscher therapy dogs. She asked that the ordinance policy be revisited and a special exception be grandfathered to allow her to install a six-foot fence in her backyard. Director Abt shared the Unified Development Ordinance provided a reasonable compromise for fence height requirements throughout the Village. Trustee Betsinger requested that significant community input be gathered before any amendment to this ordinance be considered. Director Abt noted the previous Village Code permitted six-foot fences where other restrictions were not present and Trustee Sperling questioned what information, steps and approvals would be necessary to amend this ordinance by text amendment. After discussion, the majority of the Board shared a willingness to revisit this topic again for discussion and possible amendment at a future meeting. C. Bid Opening for 310 N. River Street. Administrator Zoephel shared no bids were received for this location. Trustee Betsinger inquired and Administrator Zoephel discussed what the potential plan for this parcel might be and noted this topic would be discussed again at a future meeting.
