Board holds first read on code change to require public-hearing signage and notice tweaks
Summary
Trustees heard a first reading to amend Title 10 to require notice signs (on or next to properties) for public hearings, add protective language for failures to post notice, and allow staff to place village signs and a QR code for more information; the board left the item as a first read to refine language.
Trustee Bridal introduced a first read to amend Title 10 of the Shorewood Village Code to change public-hearing notice requirements and to require signs be posted on or next to properties. Staff showed a proposed sign and said the village can post signs if applicants prefer not to; the proposal would also permit an additional paragraph suggested by Councilor Silverman to allow denial or deferral in cases of substantial notice failures while preserving approvals when notice errors are not jurisdictional.
Trustees discussed who is responsible for putting signs on the property (staff said the village will manage posting and can lend standardized signs), whether a website or phone number should be required on signs, and whether to include a QR code procedurally. The board agreed to leave the item as a first read and return with clarified language.
