Description
Planning, Zoning & Agriculture Committee Meeting 2/21/2018 9:00 AM
B
A
C
In
your
packets,
you
should
have
the
monthly
building
report
for
December
of
2017
in
January
2018.
The
report
for
December
was
one
new
home
issued
35
total
permits
and
brought
in
revenue
of
twenty
thousand
two
hundred
$26.50,
twelve
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
of
that
was
from
CSL
bearing
one
permit
for
January.
C
We
had
one
new
home
brought
in
only
thirteen
permits
and
revenue
of
seven
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
six
dollars
comparatively
to
2016
or
excuse
me,
January,
2017,
a
year
before
we
brought
in
twenty
nine
permits,
but
a
total
fees
of
eight
hundred
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
ten
dollars,
so
it
seems
low.
But
for
the
month
of
January,
it's
right
in
line.
A
C
D
It
came
up
now
so
I'll
bring
it
up.
I
received
a
message
from
the
sheriff
they
have
sandbags
available
for
the
public
and
they're
out
there.
You
know
the
I
think
the
guests.
That
of
Justice
were
enough,
some
sand
so
they're.
If
people
ask
work-
and
you
know
we
had
flood
water,
they
can
have
some
bags.
You
know
out,
there
pick
them
up.
D
C
C
Expanding
on
that,
if
you
know
someone
who
is
needing
in
need
of
assistance,
the
Sheriff's
Office
is
the
place
to
call
my
the
Planning
Department.
We
do
not
have
sandbags
okay.
Secondly,
our
inspectors
will
be
out
monitoring
the
situation
because
we
we
get
involved
after
the
flood
and
assess
damages
they're,
going
to
start
doing
that
tomorrow.
C
A
A
A
C
A
C
As
of
last
night,
Eagle
Island
Road
was
closed
route
45
between
manteno
and
Wilmington.
Our
Peotone
was
closed.
Route
102
was
closed.
East
of
wilmington,
some
of
the
county
highways
at
the
northern
border,
like
11,000
12,000
North,
were
closed
and
parts
of
Vincennes
trail
and
County.
Highway
13
was
closed.
A
C
E
C
Board
of
Examiners
is
a
recommend
by
recommended
body
appointed
by
the
county
board.
They
recommend
amendments
to
the
county's
Building
Code.
They
also
the
final
decision-making
body
and
hear
appeals.
So
if
a
contractor
or
a
homeowner,
someone
does
not
agree
with
our
interpretation
of
the
codes.
They
can
have
their
appeal
heard
by
the
Board
of
Examiners
and
they
review
decisions
made
by
the
County
Planning
Department
as
well.
Those
are
their
three
main
functions.
I
said
they're
appointed
by
the
county
board.
C
There
are,
they
are
a
six
member
board,
there's
an
electrician,
a
plumber,
a
civil
engineer,
an
architect,
a
residential
contractor
and
a
commercial
contractor
all
of
these
became
vacant
and
up
for
renewal
about
six
months
ago.
Currently
we
have
two
positions,
filled
the
civil
engineer
and
the
architect
will
be
dave,
tyson
and
jeff
jarvis,
and
we
have
applications
that
we've
received
in
the
last
week,
Greg
Olson
for
an
electrician
bill,
backhoe
it's
for
a
plumber,
who
is
also
an
HVAC
technician,
we'll
bill
Warburton
was
on
the
board
before
and
he's.
C
C
Tell-Tell
replaced
and
replacement
members
must
be
from
the
disciplines
listed.
The
main
reason
for
the
discussion
is
the
issue
as
to
whether
we
should
have
an
HVAC
person,
specifically
on
the
Board
of
Examiners.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
six
different
disciplines
there,
and
some
of
them
are
meant
to
cover
all
trades,
such
as
the
residential
contractor
in
the
commercial
contractor,
Thank.
D
D
Those
could
be,
as
is
Dell
mentioned
in
the
past
HVAC
contractors,
but
Pat
went
on
to
at
the
last
meeting
I
can't
remember,
which
one
it
was
a
might
have
an
executive
committee
to
say,
as
our
was
about
there
are
three
permits
you
have
to
pull
I
believe
an
HVAC
was
one
of
those
am
I
correct.
In
that
how
that
was
presented,
there
was
a
special
discipline
that
we
should
have
a
separate
spot
for
I
wished.
He
was
here
because
I.
C
C
E
D
C
E
C
Board
is
meant
to
be
a
general
present,
a
representation
of
all
trades
and
disciplines.
That's
a
smaller
board
makes
it
easier
to
maneuver.
You
know
it's
hard
to
get
consensus
out
of
30
people,
but
if
we
had
a
representative
from
every
trade
that
board
could
swell
to
30
people
they're
all
listed
all
the
different
trades
are
listed
there
in
the
middle
carpenters,
concrete
damp-proofing,
drywall,
pipe
fitters
alarm
systems,
soren
septic,
well
drillers.
So
if
you
open
the
door
to
another
one
specifically,
how
do
you
tell
the
rest
of
these?
C
C
That's
why
we
have
the
general
residential
and
commercial
contractors
to
cover
all
of
the
rest
of
these.
Now
there
is
nothing
and
I
think
that's
my
next
slide.
Oh
no!
It's
on
yours,
I
might
as
well
get
to
it.
Now,
though,
there's
nothing
that
prevents
any
of
these
trades
from
attending
the
meetings
and
participating
they
just
don't
get
a
boat.
C
C
The
the
rules
of
procedure
say
they
meet
monthly,
but
there's
just
simply
not
enough
activity
to
warrant
that
generally
they
meet
about
once
a
year.
Their
biggest
activity
is
every
two
to
three
years.
When
we're
updating
the
codes,
then
they
meet
fairly
regularly.
Then
they
stop
meeting
till
the
next
set
of
codes
need
to
be
updated.
So
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
very
busy
committee.
They
don't
do
a
lot,
but
it's
very
it
is
an
important
committee.
They
are
making
the
decisions
on
what
codes
the
county
should
follow.
C
D
C
E
A
A
C
This
came
up,
Thursday
and
I,
told
them.
I
would
run
it
by
the
board
and
see
see
how
you
all
felt
about
this
on
Thursday
our
let's
get
some
background
here.
Currently
we
have
an
agreement
with
Mike
McGruder
that
was
reached
in
2014
to
perform
all
of
our
plumbing
inspections
for
the
county
at
a
rate
of
$200
per
month,
stipend
and
$50
per
inspection,
and
that
has
been
working
well
since
2014
on
Thursday.
C
On
average,
we
spend
between
eleven
and
twelve
thousand
a
year
for
plumbing
inspections.
The
proposed
agreement,
would
it
add,
another
twenty
two
hundred
dollars
roughly,
we
can
never
tell
exactly
how
many
inspections
will
have
a
year
about
twenty
two
hundred
dollars
a
year
to
that
amount.
I
do
have
sixteen
thousand
dollars
set
aside
in
the
2018
budget
for
it,
so
we
can
absorb
the
increase
in
our
budget.
Our
plumbing
inspector
must
be
a
licensed
plumber,
so
we
we
can't
just
pick
anybody
and
send
them
out
there.
We
do
have
to
have
a
licensed
plumber.
C
E
D
C
A
B
C
E
H
C
I
When's,
the
last
time
that
we
approached
or
let
somebody
know
there
was
a
plumbing
inspects,
a
licensed
plumber,
inspection,
job
available,
there's
a
lot
of
plumbers
that
are
licensed
in
our
county
and
if
nobody
knows
about
the
position
we
and
oh,
how
did
we
end
up
with
just
one
choice?
I
I'm
certainly
thinking
this
is
a
job
that
I
don't
like
being
put
under
the
gun
for
anything,
and
usually
you
don't
have
to
be
so
I'm
questioning.
Has
this
been
advertised?
Have
we
checked
and
you
can't
find
a
licensed
plumber.
C
C
Yes
had
no
problems
anytime,
we
call
him
he
goes
out
and
takes
a
look.
He
comes
into
the
office
very
easy
to
work
with,
and
these
numbers
are
not
unreasonable.
You
know
that
he
uses
his
own
vehicle,
his
own
gas,
to
get
out
to
these
places
and,
of
course,
all
of
that
all
those
prices
have
gone
up
since
2014.
So
mr.
D
You,
mr.
chairman,
that
just
the
only
the
only
main
reason
well
really
the
real
reason
that
I
put
the
motion
out
there
was
is,
if
you
look
at
the
cost,
to
bringing
someone
in
here
part-time
to
do
this
you're,
paying
them
whether
we
have
expections
or
not-
and
this
is
an
at-will
position
almost
almost
as
a
has
needed.
We
could
almost
predict
what
we're
going
to
do
in
a
year
unless
we
have
a
housing
boom
in
the
rural
part
of
the
counties
and
then
I'll
probably
get
absorbed
at
two
municipality
at
some
point
anyway.
So.
J
D
J
C
C
H
E
B
E
C
I
think
there
was
last
month
where
he
received
two
Tahoe's
from
the
sheriff,
which
we
are
extremely
grateful
for,
and
we
appreciate
that
very
much
and
the
two
vehicles
that
that
is
replacing
are
the
two
maroon
brown
colored
vehicles
on
the
right
up
on
the
screen.
We
will
be
keeping
the
two
gray
impalas.
We
will
be
getting
rid
of
Lee
to
maroon
the
impalas
I.
Just
let
you
know
that
little
picture
in
the
corner
is
part
of
the
frame
on
the
one
above
it
that's
why
it
needs
to
go.
E
E
C
Going
to
be
a
gift
to
somebody,
we
are
currently
taking
things
off
of
them
for
the
grey
cars.
This
morning
we
moved
a
battery
over
because
we
had
a
new
battery
in
one
of
those
and
some
windshield
wipers
and
some
other
things
before
we
let
them
go,
but
those
are
the
two
that
are
are
leaving
so
I'm
asking
for
permission
to
dispose
of
those
two
vehicles.
There's
our
two
new
Tahoe's
they're
running
pretty
good,
a
few
other
things,
though,
just
to
let
you
know
the
Tahoe's
did
not
come
without
a
price
tag.
C
C
One
needs
tires,
and
we
had
some
ball
joint
issues
that
had
to
be
done
right
away.
We
are
now
which
all
totaled
three
thousand
twenty-eight
dollars.
We
are
in
the
negative
for
one
thousand
dollars
for
the
year
already,
and
it's
only
February
to
let
you
know
that
we
appreciate
the
vehicles.
They
are
far
better,
but
we
did
have
to
spend
a
little
more.
C
E
C
C
A
C
C
C
Since
we've
had
digital
mapping
capabilities
around
2000,
we
have
published
a
new
map
every
year,
like
our
ordinance
says,
we
should,
and
we've
asked
the
county
board
to
re-adopt
it
every
year
to
keep
it
legal
and
up-to-date
according
to
the
state
statute
it
until
the
zoning
change
appears
on
the
map.
It
is
not
an
official
change.
Oh
there's,
the
2018
zoning
map,
which
reflects
those
cases
that
I
talked
about
and
we're
asking
that
that
be
recommended
for
approval
by
the
full
County
Board.
C
C
A
C
Not
the
same
kind
of
flooding,
this
is
from
the
2015
flood.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
little
update
on
it.
We
had
a
home
in
a
Roma
Township
that
was
severely
damaged
in
the
2015
flood
and
to
raise
it
or
elevate
it
or
to
elevate
it
had
a
price
tag
of
$70,000
plus,
and
the
FEMA
would
only
give
30
thousand
for
that.
C
So
the
next
step
was
to
apply
for
a
grant
for
buyout
and
I
just
want
to
announce
that
we
have
been
a
for
that
grant
of
a
hundred
eighty
three
thousand
dollars
to
a
hundred
eighty
three
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
to
purchase
that
house
demolish
it
and
we,
the
county,
will
end
up
owning
and
be
locked
once
we're
done
that's
been
approved.
We
will
be
starting
that
process
in
the
next
month
or
so
is
that
the
one
on
the
curve
in
the
river
or.
A
C
A
A
H
Is
Martine
Hinton
I,
don't
know
if
everybody's
aware
she's,
our
chair
of
our
Start
Preservation
Commission
she's
here
to
help
me
out.
Our
first
thing
we
want
is
our
2018
CLG
grant
is
due
in
March,
and
we
are
asking
permission
to
move
forward
to
apply.
We
are
asking
for
ten
thousand
from
the
state.
Seventh
up,
ten
thousand
budget,
seven
thousand
state
three
thousand
would
be
our
cost.
H
I
L
Since
we,
since
we
were
established
in
2007,
we
were
all
volunteers
off
the
street.
We
didn't
know
a
whole
lot
about
about
preservation,
except
that
we
liked.
You
know-
and
we
were
interested.
The
camp
program
is
specifically
for
commissioners.
They
we
have
some
that
go
to
training
programs
throughout
the
state.
L
We
have
others
that
have
never
gone,
and
so
there
was
four
of
us
that
went
to
win
in
Plainfield
last
summer
and
the
two
new
commissioners
at
that
point
thought
it
was
so
good
that
they
wanted
to
host
one
here,
and
so
the
$7,000
is
what
the
camp
program
charges
for
us
to
host
it.
It
is
for
commissioner
training.
L
If
we
land
Mart,
if
we
learn
how
to
land
mark
more
properties,
we
only
have
four
landmarks
right
now
in
the
county.
But
if
we
land
mark
more,
then
those
properties
if
they
want
to
be
fixed
up
in
any
way,
then
they're
gonna
hire
you.
What
we
want
to
do
is
save
our
Oh
are
the
character
of
our
community.
We
once
those
buildings
torn
down,
so
when,
when
people
decide
to
save
a
building,
they're
gonna
hire
you
to
fix
it.
F
B
F
F
L
A
L
You
I
have
one
more
request.
Okay,
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
request
that
the
County
Board
certify
our
historic
preservation,
ordinance
for
the
purpose
of
property
tax
assessment.
Freeze
now
the
property
tax
assessment
freeze
is
all
already
the
people
that
are
on
the
National.
Register
are
already
eligible
for
that.
It's
it's
a
freeze.
When
they're
going
to
do
25%
of
the
value
of
their
house,
they
can
have
their
pride
if
they
fill
out
a
lot
of
paperwork
with
the
state.
L
L
No
one
on
those
County
landmarks
is
going
to
ask
for
this
freeze
because
you
have
to
live
in
the
house
you
have
to.
If
it's
an
apartment,
you
still
have
like
six
units
you
still
have.
The
owner
has
to
live
in
one
of
those
units
to
get
the
freeze
or,
if
it's
being
fixed
up,
then
the
person
that
occupies
the
house
right
after
the
work
is
done
is
eligible
for
the
freeze.
B
I
D
It's
I
haven't
seen
the
language
either
and
at
some
point
the
state's
attorney's
office
will
see
it
also
I
I'm
thinking
that
in
principle
like
like
it,
mr.
Kinzinger
I
agree
with
these
types
of
incentives
to
to
invest
and
to
create
something
that
may
be
of
a
greater
value,
especially
on
a
commercial
purpose.
But
I
don't
know
the
details.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
it
would
probably
make
sense
if
we
do
agree
that
we
want
to.
In
principle.
D
We
agree
with
the
process,
or
at
least
the
the
end
result
that
we
could
recommend
it
to
finance.
That
would
come
along
to
the
Finance
Committee
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
the
numbers
mean,
along
with
the
recommendation
of
the
state's
attorney's
office
on
the
language
and
I,
don't
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
there
as
a
possible
solution
to
move
it
forward,
but
still
get
the
information.
Then
everybody's
gonna
want
to
see
and
get
those
opinions.
So.

couldn't
be
here
today,
so
he
asked
me
to
give
his
rural
trans
transit
update
for
February
2018
letters
of
interest
are
sent
out
every
January
to
start
the
rural
transit
application
process
and
they're
sent
to
various
transportation
providers
in
the
area
such
as
Metro
Cardinal
bus
there's
several
of
them.
He
does
have
a
list
on
file
if
you'd
like
to
see
it
show
bus
was
the
only
responder,
so
they
will
be
our
provider
for
the
next
year.
C
Next
step
is
for
I
dot
to
send
out
the
FY
2019
applications,
and
hopefully
we
can
have
have
that
in
place.
For
the
March
PCA
meeting
the
inner
city
bus
grant,
application
was
approved
by
I
dot.
This
is
the
a
proposed
service
that
will
extend
the
moments
commuter
service
to
the
Greyhound,
stop
in
Kankakee
in
the
morning
and
in
the
afternoon
there's
bus
shelters
included
in
the
application.
Those
were
also
awarded
that
we
wanted
each
end
the
exact
locations.
C
The
down
state
operating
assistance
program
funds
are
the
local
match
for
the
operating
cost
and
we're
counting
on
the
appraisal
of
the
land.
The
bus
shelters
will
be
located
on
is
our
in
kind
match
or
the
grant
lease
and
maintenance
agreements
of
those
shelters
will
still
need
to
be
worked
out
with
the
municipalities
for
ridership
second
quarter
ridership,
which
is
from
October
1st
to
December
1st
of
2017.
C
C
C
That's
a
huge
jump
and
in
fact
the
total
ridership
for
the
first
half,
which
is
the
first
and
second
quarters,
is
up
32%
from
2016.
We
believe
that
this
may
be
because
of
more
medical
trips,
our
Medicaid
trips
and
possibly
more
work
trips
or
the
possibility
that
there
are
a
few
fewer
private
transportation
providers
in
the
county.
We
are
looking
into
that
to
try
to
determine
why
we
had
such
a
jump
and
that's
what
I
have
for
a
report.
Any.
