for 10% ventilation in the rooms. Also there will be a gable change.

410 4. PUBLIC HEARING - LIMITING USE IN "X" ZONE TO PARKING LOTS ONLY
There were no residents or owners present to express sentiment con-
cerning this issue.
Mr. LuBien advised Members that he was requested to.advise the Board,
the main reason for this scheduling before the Board along with the
concept of Downtown Revitalization is to preserve those lots not yet
built upon, because of the premium of available land.
Members reviewed a map indicating properties "x" zoned. Some owned
by the Village, some privately owned, some being business with parking
in rear, some have homes now, and some are paved and others unpaved.
Much discussion continued concerning property becoming non -conforming,
appeal of tax assessment, and direct notification to owners of record.
Mr. Duffy inquired about a severe hardship created for the owner who
might want to convert a garage to a bedroom, or add pool or remodel,
also a property owner's right to appeal the tax assessment. Mr. LuBien
felt this a valid question, he would like to have the Village Attorney
address.
Mr. Rossi read from the Section of the Code to be reviewed.
Mr. LuBien indicated this hearing is a motivational step to instruct
the Village Attorney to prepare an Ordinance to restrict the use of
':'" zone for parking only. Property owners of record in B-1, B-2,
"X" zone and all residential property abutting the X zone, would then
receive notice 30 days prior to Public Hearing to discuss. the Ordinance.
The Board could instruct the Village Attorney as to their wishes
regarding verbage. It is expected these changes will be included with
the changes to be made in the B-1 and B-2 zone.
Other discussion continued.
Mr. Laubenthal moved to request that the Village Attorney prepare an
Ordinance, a new description for the "X" Zone that will effectively
delete the reference to residential, fall out and bomb shelters as
permitted use, to make it exclusively parking, and further to ask his
advise as to how to make it clear that these are appropriately de-
signated as non -conforming use lots. The motion was seconded by
Mr. McClure. Discussion ensued concerning multi level parking.
The motion passed by unanimous vote.
