One notable issue discussed by the board was a property owner found in violation of safety barrier requirements for a swimming pool. Given the inherent safety risks, this case spurred considerable debate among board members. The property owner proposed to drain the pool and install the required barrier; however, there was contention over the suitable timeline for compliance. The board ultimately voted to impose a fine alongside administrative costs.

Another case involved a property owner in violation of off-street parking regulations due to a driveway that did not meet the necessary design standards. The property owner’s daughter represented her father, explaining the challenges encountered during the permit application process. The board considered the time required to obtain the appropriate permits and discussed the possibility of reducing the fine upon achieving compliance. A motion was passed to postpone this case to a future meeting, allowing the property owner time to provide an update on the permit’s status.

Further complicating the board’s agenda was a case regarding a property owner who applied for a permit for a driveway installation that failed to comply with design standards. The property owner cited financial difficulties as the reason for the driveway’s incompletion and there was confusion regarding the fine’s amount. As the board deliberated over the order of intent to lean and the fine adjustment, the discussion highlighted the challenges property owners face in balancing compliance with financial constraints.

Several other cases were discussed under new business, including an abandoned vehicle with an expired license tag stored on a property, a property owner found in violation of clarity standards for a swimming pool, and a debate over a dilapidated fence and stagnant pool. The board navigated through these issues, considering fines and compliance deadlines.

In one instance, a property owner was fined for installing a chain link fence without a permit. Despite having applied for the permit, the owner had yet to complete the necessary documentation. The board decided to impose a $250 fine and required the owner either to obtain the permit or to remove the fence by a specified date, with additional daily fines for non-compliance after that deadline.

The board also revisited an old business case involving a property owner who had rented a unit without the mandatory landlord permit. The property owner disputed the violation, asserting that the permit fee was paid and the inspection passed. The board agreed to table this issue, allowing the owner to gather and present proof of payment at a future meeting.

Other violations addressed included a property owner who had not complied with driveway ordinances and was given until February 28th to rectify the situation or face a lien filing by the village. Cases of maintenance of graffiti and offensive noise prohibition for short-term vacation rentals were also discussed, with some properties having settled their fines, leading to case closures.
