Town Hall Meetings Planned to
Report Community Survey Results
The Village Board will host Town Hall meetings at Village
Hall on Monday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. and on Saturday,
November 2 at 9:00 a.m., to present the findings from the
2013 Community Survey that was administered last spring.
The purpose of conducting the 2013 Community Survey
was to find out how much value residents place on the
services that the Village provides. The results are based on
responses from 671 Roselle residents who completed the
entire survey.
The full 2013 Community Survey report and findings are
available for download from the Village of Roselle website
at www.roselle.il.us. Printed copies of the report are also
available at Village Hall and at the Reference Desk at the
Roselle Public Library.
These results, along with additional feedback gathered
from Town Hall meetings, will help guide the Village Board
in strategic and budget planning sessions later this fall.
Residents with questions or comments about the survey
results can e-mail [email protected].

Halloween Trick-or-Treat Hours
Ghosts and goblins are preparing to haunt Roselle this
Halloween - on October 31, between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Halloween is a time for children. With this in mind,
Roselle plans its trick or treat hours to accommodate
all of them. This allows some daylight hours for the
youngest cowboys and princesses and some time when it
is a little darker for older witches and goblins. Please be
careful while children are out enjoying this time.
For more information on Halloween safety, visit the
National Safety Council web site at www.nsc.org.
Coffee with the Village Board
Do you have questions about what’s happening in the Village of Roselle? Coffee with the Village Board is
a great opportunity to meet and talk with the Mayor and Board of Trustees.
The Coffee with the Board series is scheduled for the first Saturday of the month. Upcoming Coffee with
the Board meetings will be held December 7 and January 4 from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Village Hall.
Unlike regular Village Board or Committee of the Whole meetings, this informal session provides
residents and business owners an opportunity to discuss issues affecting them and the community.
Whether it be an update on the recent Main Street, Irving Park Road, or Lake Street/Gary Avenue
redevelopment efforts, or a few questions about the Village’s code enforcement procedures, the Mayor,
Trustees, and Village Staff will be prepared to assist you.
So come in and enjoy a cup of coffee and chat with your local elected officials.

Mayor’s Message
The leaves are changing and the sky is brilliant blue—autumn has
come to Roselle! That means it is time for one last celebration—
Lynfred Winery’s Oktoberfest! The hours are Saturday, October 5
from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 6 from noon to 7:00
p.m. Admission is $3. I hope to see you there.
Please read the article on the proposed Veteran’s Memorial on
page 7. Our American Legion Post 1084 is leading a community
effort to erect this memorial at Depot Park. I encourage residents
to get informed, volunteer for a committee if you have expertise,
contribute, and donate! It will be a wonderful addition to Irving
Park Rd. and the center of our Village.
We are excited to share the results of our community survey with
you in two Town Hall forums. The information is on the front page
of this newsletter. Please make time in your schedules to attend one
of these meetings.
In a few weeks I am traveling to Parma, Ohio, to visit some relatives
and the places where I grew up. My dance studio is still there, but
the candy shop that I loved is gone. The Public Library was torn
down a few years ago to make room for another a few miles away
and my favorite bookstore is now a dry cleaners. The corner deli
is now an expanded church parking lot, sold when the original
owner’s children decided to retire. I’ve heard that the 77-year old
Parma Theater closed in 2012. It is the place where I fell in love
with Sean Connery, screamed with my cousin during “A Hard Day’s
Night”, and saw Romeo and Juliet a few weeks before we moved
to Illinois. Some changes are better, some are not—but all were
inevitable.
It is with the same understanding that we say good-bye to PikKwik Foods, a staple in our community for decades. When I first
moved to Roselle in 1976, I bundled our firstborn up in her stroller
and walked there. Ten years ago, I made the same trip with my
grandson—he loved the hanging balloon signs in the aisles. Ryan
still remembers our trips there.
However, many factors collided at once—the property owner
decided to sell the property, competition from big discount
stores hurt sales, and the business owners decided they wanted
to retire. After decades of operating a store 24/7, I want to thank
Rick and Bev for running Pik-Kwik as long as they did. I wish them
a wonderful retirement, filled with all the
things they never had time to do. Thank
you for the memories.
Since the announcement of Pik-Kwik’s closing,
many residents believe that it would be a perfect
location for a Trader Joe’s. They were contacted, as well as Aldi’s
and other smaller grocery stores. The building is just too small
(16,000 sq. ft) and has inadequate parking (40 max). A recent
study cited that the average grocery store is now 50,000 sq. feet,
requiring more than double the current parking spaces.
It is difficult to see memories of our childhoods go by the wayside.
When the Village began planning for our downtown we had three
goals: improve density (to support retail—and the condos are full),
demolish obsolete buildings to make way for new opportunities,
and incorporate much loved institutions into our plans. We
originally designed Main St. to extend to Roselle Rd. on the north
side of Shirl’s, keeping the business intact. The first plans for
Irving Park Rd. showed a refaced Pizza Cottage in the design. But,
business and property owners have a right to sell and/or retire, and
change happens.
Our new Main St. allowed for a Starbucks to come to Roselle.
Roselle Flowers is blooming (couldn’t resist). New restaurants
downtown have come and gone, but now 8000 Miles is a shining
star and we are getting ready to enjoy the 1913 Restaurant and
Wine Bar in the expanded former Impecca space. Rockstar, Bella
Capelli, Langner Eye Care and All Things Woof provide services we
need and products to buy.
We have another restaurateur interested in the property on
Irving Park Rd. We have many balls in the air as it pertains to
companies moving and expanding within our Village, parcels for
annexation and redevelopment, and new businesses inquiring
about opportunities in Roselle. The Village Board is committed
to expanding our tax base through continued economic growth,
making new memories, and still celebrating the heart of our
community.

General News
Refuse and Recycling Service Update
The last days for Republic Services to collect
yard waste this year are Tuesday, November
26 and Wednesday, November 27. Yard
waste may be placed in compostable paper
bags or in plastic bins (no larger than
32 gallons, no heavier than 50 pounds).
Branches are accepted in bundles no longer
than four feet, and no thicker than four inches
wide, tied with rope or twine. Yard waste stickers
are required on each bag, bin, or bundle for disposal.
While Tuesday refuse and recycling pickup service will remain
on schedule for the holidays, Wednesday pickup will be delayed
until Thursday the week of Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Republic Services will pick up Christmas trees for recycling
through January 15. Yard waste stickers are not required for
Christmas tree disposal.
Proceeds from the sale of rain barrels by the Village will
help fund the treatment of trees against emerald ash borer
infestations in Roselle and for reforestation efforts following ash
tree removals. For additional information, please contact Village
Clerk Patty Burns at (630) 671-2802.
Recycle Old Electronic Equipment
Electronic equipment, including TVs, computers, laptops,
keyboards, monitors, printers, peripherals, VCR/DVD players,
gaming systems, MP3 players and other items are banned by
law from Illinois landfills. The Village’s waste hauler, Republic
Services, will not pick up electronic waste at the curb.
Roselle residents may recycle electronics at the Bloomingdale
Township Garage, 123 N. Rosedale Avenue, Bloomingdale, on
the first Saturday of every month April through December
(except holiday weekends) from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Residents may also visit the DuPage County website for a list
of municipalities and private companies that accept electronic
waste, or the Schaumburg Township website for other electronic
recycling drop off locations. Visit the Village’s website at
www.roselle.il.us for direct links to these resources.
Free Document Shredding Event October 5
Time Change? Time to Change the Batteries
Rain Barrels Available for Sale
Please Keep Leaves Off Roselle Streets
Roselle residents are invited to bring their confidential
documents to be shredded on-site during a shredding event
on Saturday, October 5, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Roselle
Metra Station south parking lot at Irving Park Rd. and Maple
Ave. The quantity of documents to be shredded is limited to no
more than 100 pounds per person. If they wish, participants will
be able to watch as their documents are being shredded, and
shredded paper will be recycled. This free event is sponsored by
Itasca Bank & Trust Co.
To promote the use of eco-friendly technology, the Village of
Roselle will sell rain barrels to residents for $75. Rain barrels are
typically installed at the end of a home’s gutter system to collect
rainwater that can later be used to water lawns and gardens
without tapping into the municipal water supply. Rain barrel
order forms are available for download online at
www.roselle.il.us/clerk.
Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, November 3. The
Village of Roselle and the Roselle Fire Department
encourage residents to get in the habit of
changing the batteries in smoke detectors and
carbon monoxide detectors when changing
the time on clocks for Daylight Savings Time
each spring and fall. Changing smoke alarm
batteries is one of the simplest, most effective
ways to reduce fire deaths and injuries.
The beauty of autumn often brings additional yard work.
When raking or blowing leaves this fall, please remember to
keep the leaves off the curbs and streets and out of stormwater
drains. Leaves clog stormwater drains and add to area flooding
problems.
Also remember, it is not permitted to burn yard waste in Roselle
or in unincorporated areas served by the Roselle Fire Protection
District.
Snow Plow Season Is Just Around the Corner
Anti-icing of the roadways in Roselle typically begins before a snowfall, with the application of brine, a liquid
anti-icing salt solution. Rows of white, chalky lines are created on the roads during the brine application
process. The brine application provides additional time before the snow and ice begin to build up on the
pavement. Brine is not applied to the streets if rain is predicted before the snow, as it would be washed
off the pavement before becoming effective.
Once the snow starts falling, Public Works typically begins plowing operations after two to three inches
of snow has fallen, or sooner if road condition reports indicate the need. Please remember to exercise
caution when driving in snowy and icy conditions. With the exception of Central Avenue, all of the local
roads in Roselle have a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less.

statements emailed to them in place of a paper copy.

Fundraising Begins for Roselle Veteran’s Memorial in Depot Park
Members of American Legion Post 1084 in Roselle are kicking off a fundraising campaign for the creation of a permanent Veteran’s
Memorial in Depot Park along Irving Park Rd. at Park St. The fundraising committee for this project gave a presentation to the Village
Board at its August 26 meeting. The Village owns Depot Park.
The centerpiece of the planned memorial is a fallen soldier statue (boots, rifle, and helmet) mounted on
a pedestal. The pedestal will have each of the five military branch insignias mounted on it. Plans also
call for a brick paver walkway and seven flag poles with the American, POW, and military service flags.
Within the flagpole setting, granite tablets inscribed with the names of deceased Rosellians who
served in the military will be installed.
With fundraising for the project commencing this fall, the timeline for the memorial project calls
for construction to begin late next spring, and a dedication ceremony on Veteran’s Day, November
11, 2014. Donations are currently being accepted through the Roselle American Legion Charitable
Foundation (RALCF) for the Roselle Veteran’s Memorial. Checks can be make payable to RALCF and
can be mailed to RALCF, Attn: Veteran’s Memorial, 344 E. Maple Ave., Roselle, IL 60172. Donations
are also being accepted on the American Legion Post 1084 website at www.post1084.net.

Police Department
Child Seat Inspections
Police Department Conducting
School Zone Seat Belt
Enforcement
The Roselle Police Department has
received complaints concerning
unrestrained children in passenger
vehicles. Many of the complaints
involve children standing in the
front seat area when they arrive at
school. This is not only illegal, but
also extremely dangerous, as most
passenger vehicles have air bags in the
dashboard. Air bags contain explosive gases
designed to inflate the airbag at speeds of up to 200 MPH. This
would have devastating consequences should the child be near
the airbag when it deploys. Children have been killed in minor
crashes due to airbag deployment while unrestrained.
Many of the complaints occur in the morning, when parents
are in a hurry to drive their children to school. Being in a hurry
increases the risk of being involved in a crash. Many parents
believe that they are only driving a few blocks to school and the
speeds are relatively low. This attitude causes children to be at
high risk for serious injury. In older cars with first generation air
bags, even a minor crash could result in airbag deployment.
Free child seat inspections are available by appointment by
calling the Police Department’s child seat inspection line at
(630) 671-4063. Trained technicians will check the child seat
for proper use as well as recalls.
School Buses
Motorists must stop before meeting or overtaking a school
bus loading or unloading passengers on a two-lane roadway,
including in front of schools. After a school bus has come to a
complete stop and the stop signal arm is extended, motorists
must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the
stop signal arm is no longer extended and the flashing lights are
turned off.
Motorists do not always need to stop when meeting a stopped
school bus on a roadway with four or more lanes. Motorists
are not required to stop if they are traveling in the opposite
direction of the bus, but should drive cautiously.
If convicted of illegally passing a stopped school bus motorists
face driver’s license or vehicle registration suspension for
three months. Those who receive two such convictions within
five years will have driving privileges suspended for one year.
In addition to the suspensions, violators will be fined $150
for a first conviction and $500 for a second or subsequent
conviction. A complete list of laws can be found on the Illinois
Secretary of State’s website at www.CyberDriveIllinois.com.
Current Illinois law requires that ALL occupants, regardless of
age or seating position, wear a seat belt or be secured in an
appropriate child restraint. Children under 5 years old should be
in a rear-facing infant seat or forward facing child seat.
Roselle Police officers are currently conducting increased
enforcement in the school zones as part of our efforts to
increase compliance while decreasing the risk to vehicle
occupants posed by failure to wear a seat belt. Enforcement will
include a focus on speeding, occupant restraint violations and
cell phone use, which is illegal in school and construction zones.
Wireless Phone Usage and Driving: Know the Law
School Crossing Zones are No Cell Phone Zones
When approaching a marked school crossing zone between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., on days when school is
in operation and children are present, a driver must discontinue wireless/cell phone use, reduce speed to
20 mph, and stop and yield the right-of-way to any children or adults in the crosswalk area.
Cell Phone Ban for Drivers Starts January 1
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn recently signed two new laws to make Illinois roads safer for all drivers.
One law prohibits the use of all hand-held mobile devices while driving on Illinois roads. The other
law increases penalties for drivers who cause an accident while using an electronic device, including
possible prison time.
The law will make exceptions for hands-free devices, including those with headsets. Illinois is the 12th
state to ban the use of hand-held devices while driving. The law takes effect January 1.

Fire Department
October is National Fire Prevention Month
Every year we recognize fire prevention during the month of
October. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has
taken the lead in public fire safety outreach by serving as the
official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for 90 years. The annual
public awareness and safety commemoration is observed by fire
departments in the U.S. and Canada to mark the anniversary
of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. According to the National
Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information
Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health
and safety observance on record. This year, Fire Prevention Week
will be held October 6 through 12. With the theme “Prevent
Kitchen Fires”.
Prevent Kitchen Fires!
Cooking brings family and friends together, provides an outlet
for creativity and can be relaxing. But did you know that cooking
fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries?
By following a few safety tips you can help prevent these fires.
• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol
don’t use the stove or stove top
• Stay in the kitchen while any cooking is going on
• Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3’ around the stove or
any area where food is prepared
If you do have a kitchen fire here are some tips to follow:
• Leave the room, close the door, and get outside
• Call 911!
• Use a lid to smother grease fires. NEVER USE WATER ON
GREASE FIRES!
• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and leave the door closed
Conduct Fire Drills Twice Each Year
It is essential that every household have a plan for escaping
a fire and practice it by holding fire drills at least twice a year.
Many people make poor decisions when fire breaks out. They
may be affected by smoke, disoriented by being awakened
abruptly, and frightened. The more you practice your escape
plan, the more likely you and your family are to make proper
decisions and escape safely.
Draw a Floor Plan of Your Home
Use a large sheet of paper or a
grid sheet to draw a floor plan of
your home. Include all windows,
doors, outdoor features, and
possible obstacles in your
drawing. Know at least two
ways out of each room and
show them on your floor plan.
Fire is unpredictable - it can
block any exit path. In a twostory home, plan safe escape routes
through second-story windows. Revise
your escape plan as circumstances change in
your household. Make sure everyone, including young children,
older adults, and those with disabilities are included in the plan.
Furnace Safety
As the weather starts getting colder, residents may be turning on
their furnaces for the first time this year. Furnace safety tips:
• Have your furnace inspected annually.
• Make sure all controls and emergency shutoffs are in
proper working condition.
• Always leave repairs to qualified specialists.
• Inspect the walls and ceiling near the furnace and along
the chimney line. If the wall is hot or discolored, get your
furnace inspected and fixed immediately.
• Make sure all flue pipes are well supported and free of
holes or cracks. If you see soot around seams, this may
indicate a leak.
• Keep the area surrounding your furnace free of
combustible debris.
Outdoor Burning Regulated in Roselle
Recreational fires have become a popular feature in backyard entertaining. The Fire Department would like to remind
residents in Roselle, and in unincorporated areas served by the Roselle Fire Protection District, that there are
regulations for all recreational fires.
The fire must be in an approved burning container with either a solid or mesh screen cover; home made fire
pits must also have a screen cover. The fire must be at least 50 feet away from any structure and must be
attended to at all times by an adult or responsible individual. A charged garden hose or fire extinguisher
must be near the fire in case of emergency. The burning of garbage, rubbish, lumber or yard waste is not
allowed. Only seasoned fire logs are acceptable. The open burning of leaves is not permitted.
If the Fire Department responds to an open burning complaint and determines that dense smoke is an
annoyance, nuisance, or discomfort, they may order the fire to be extinguished. Failure to comply could result
in a fine.

Public Works
Street Improvement Program
On August 26, the Village Board
awarded a contract for the 2013
Street Improvement Program
to Arrow Road Construction
Company. This year’s program
includes the resurfacing of 14
streets, including:
• Chisholm Tr./Ct. from Plum Grove
Rd. to Oregon Tr.
• Daisy Ln. in its entirety
• Dover Dr./Ct. from Bryn Mawr Ave. to Waterbury Ln.
• Forest Ave. from Mensching Rd. to Oak St.
• Garden Ave. from Daisy Ln. to Bryn Mawr Ave.
• Glendale Ter./Oak St. from Glendale Ter. to Picton Rd.
• Hampton Ln. from Bryn Mawr Ave. to Dover Dr.
• Harvest Ln./Pl. from Summerfield Dr. to Winterwood Dr.
• Marion St. from Irving Park Road to Devon Ave.
• Oregon Tr. from Chisholm Tr. to Plum Grove Rd.
• Pinecroft Dr. from Turner Ave. toBryn Mawr Ave.
• Prescott Dr. from Rodenburg Rd. to Rodenburg Rd.
• Rosemont Ave. from Roselle Rd. to Lincoln St.
• Springwood Dr./Ct. in its entirety.
The 2013 program will cost approximately $870,000 funded
through a combination of General Capital and Motor Fuel Tax
Funds. This year’s program is the first of a Five-Year Street
Improvement Program that the Village Board approved in June
this year.
During construction, the roads will remain open and driveway
access will be maintained. No overnight on-street parking will
be required during the project. The Village will work closely with
the contractor to minimize the inconvenience to residents on the
project. Construction began in early September and is expected
to be completed in late October or early November.
Winter Tip: Ensure Mailboxes are Properly
Installed
As the Public Works department begins planning for winter,
residents are advised to check that their street-side mailboxes
are properly installed to minimize damage during snow plow
season. Please make sure:
• That the post is solid, strong, and not broken. If the post
is in poor condition, it can easily be knocked over by force
of the snow coming off of the snowplow and should be
replaced. We recommend using a 4” X 4” or preferably a
4” x 6” wolmanized mailbox post, with a cross support, to
properly support post office approved mailboxes.
• If the post is wobbly, please consider removing it and
reinstalling it 32” to 36” below the ground to make sure that
the frost doesn’t heave it up out of the ground. (Be sure
to call J.U.L.I.E. at 811 for utility locates to avoid hitting any
telephone, gas or water lines.)
• If the post is too close to the curb it can
be hit by a snowplow blade and broken.
Please make sure mailboxes are 15”
from the back of the curb.
• Mailboxes that are rusty and have
holes should be replaced.
• If the door on the mailbox is
loose, please insert new pins so
the door opens and closes easily.
Did You Know?
Sanitary Sewer Problems? Call the Village First
Parts of the sanitary sewer system in Roselle were built years ago
when tile pipes were standard materials. The age of these pipes,
along with the materials used, can make them vulnerable to root
intrusion. This can result in cracked pipes, additional
root growth, and clogged pipes. While the
Village is working on upgrading the
older pipes in the public portion
of the system, homeowners are
responsible for the sewer service
line to their homes.
According to Roselle Wastewater
Superintendent John LaRocca,
residents experiencing sewer
line problems should call the
Village before calling a plumber or
contractor. “The blockage may be
10
in the Village’s line,” said LaRocca. “We can help determine where
the problem is, and if it is in the private service line to the house,
we can advise the resident on further action.”
Some sewer line problems can be avoided with preventative
maintenance. LaRocca recommends pouring a cup of bleach in
sinks, showers and floor drains once a month to dissolve materials
and clean the pipes. Let the bleach sit in the drain for about 15
minutes before rinsing it out with hot water for 10 to 15 seconds.
Call the Wastewater Division at (630) 980-2024 during business
hours for more information about sanitary sewer lines. After
business hours, inquiries can be made by calling the Police
Department non-emergency number at (630) 980-2025. In the
event that Police Department personnel are unable to answer,
calls to the non-emergency number are routed to emergency
dispatch. Please be prepared to speak with emergency dispatch
personnel, who are trained to forward the nature of your problem
to the Public Works Department.

Community Development
Village Continues Efforts to Spur Redevelopment
Although the 23-year lifespan of Roselle’s Town Center Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) District has officially expired, the
Village is still actively working to complete the task of spurring
redevelopment in the Town Center.
One property that the Village purchased using TIF funds last
summer, and is still actively marketing, is the building at 49 E.
Irving Park Rd. The Village retained the services of local broker
Heritage Realty to market the property, located in heart of the
Village’s Town Center, as stand alone eatery. Over the course of
the past year, two potential restaurants were seriously interested
in the site. However, after engineering and structural studies
were done on the building, it was deemed that it would be too
expensive for new potential owners to renovate the building.
The next phase in the redevelopment of this property calls for
the existing building to be demolished in October. Marketing
efforts will continue, and may include opportunities for the
property to be developed in conjunction with phase II of
Promenade Pointe, the development directly to the west of
49 E. Irving Park Rd. Phase I of Promenade Pointe includes the
building that houses Itasca Bank & Trust at the southeast corner
of Roselle and Irving Park Rds.
According to Roselle Community Development Director Patrick
Watkins, demolition of the building at 49 E. Irving Park Rd.
will provide a much larger footprint to accommodate potential
eateries and additional retail users, and provides for a more
flexible use for the space.
The Village has been actively engaged in other recent
redevelopment efforts in Roselle’s Town Center, including
providing incentives for 8000 Miles to open on Main St. As the
owners of the eatery laid out plans to open their new restaurant,
they realized they needed to make a significant investment to
renovate the space at 107 E. Main St. Through talks with the
owners of 8000 Miles, the Village was
able to offer an agreement for the
restaurant to use the Town Center
plaza for outside seating and a
$100,000 incentive for renovations,
including the construction of a
pergola for the outside seating.
Construction of the pergola is
expected to start later this fall.
Business Beat: Local Businesses
Expand, Renovate
Two local businesses in Roselle’s Town
Center recently reopened following
renovation and expansion projects, and
a third businesses is currently renovating
space with plans to open later this fall.
The building at 49 E.
Irving Park Rd. is slated for
demolition in October.
Following a renovation project, Brewstirs Burgers, Pizza & Pub
opened in Roselle in June at 101 E. Irving Park Rd. (formerly
Diamond Lil’s). Along with new ownership and new decor, the
restaurant has a whole new menu.
Roselle Flowers reopened in August in a new, larger location –
just a few doors down from their old store on Main St. Roselle
Flowers is now located in their newly remodeled space at 109 E.
Main St.
Another new restaurant is coming to Roselle this fall. The new
owners of 1913 Restaurant and Wine Bar are renovating the
space at 123 E. Main St. (formerly Impecca) and are planning
for a late-October grand opening. The restaurant will feature
country European dining.
Village Code Corner
Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, Campers & Boats
As Roselle residents prepare to winterize and store their recreational vehicles until spring, the Village is issuing a reminder that
these vehicles cannot be permanently parked in the driveway. This includes, but is not limited to boats, campers, all types of trailers,
automobiles not regularly used for normal travel, and recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs.
According to Village Code, recreational vehicles shall not exceed eight feet in width, twenty-nine feet in length,
including hitch, or ten feet in height, excluding mast. All vehicles designed for off-road use shall be properly
registered with the Village and State. These vehicles may be parked or stored in an enclosed garage or
accessory building, or outside under the following conditions:
• Only one vehicle is permitted;
• Vehicle shall be on a hard surface that will not rust or create dust;
• Vehicle shall be in a rear or side yard, but not closer than five feet to the property line;
• Landscaping or a solid wood fence not to exceed six feet in height shall be provided as a screen to
soften the impact of the vehicle on the surrounding properties;
• Campers may be parked in the driveway for a period not to exceed 48 hours per calendar week for the
purpose of loading and unloading the vehicle.

important part in Bob’s life for the
last 35 years. He is truly honored to
