Counties of Cook, Will, and DuPage, State of Illinois, as follows:
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village and the Village staff
have determined that the best interests of the Village will be served by amending Section V
(General Provisions), of Ordinance 0- 11 -00, (Lemont Zoning Ordinance); and
WHEREAS, Village staff drafted the amended Section V (General Provisions),
paragraph G., Accessory Buildings, Structures, and Uses as follows:
Section 1. That Section V.G. (General Provisions), number 5, Dumpster Enclosures,
be amended to enclose all garbage dumpsters within the Village of Lemont, including pre-
existing dumpsters, by replacing number 5 with the following language:
5. Dumpster Enclosures Required. All owners of property that store dumpsters,
recycling bins or containers or any other receptacles for solid waste shall be required
to construct a solid enclosure of sufficient size, five to six feet in height, to completely
screen such dumpsters, bins or containers from view. When the enclosure is designed
to serve a new or reconstructed principal building, the enclosure shall be constructed
of solid wood or masonry using materials, colors and patterns similar to the exterior of
the principal building. Owners of lots where uses have been established prior to August
8, 2005 and which lack the required enclosure shall install an enclosure no later than
August 8, 2006. Such retrofitted enclosures may be constructed of solid wood, solid
metal, or masonry. New enclosures shall not be constructed of chain link.
In cases where there are unique circumstances that make the installation impractical,
including but not limited to the lack of usable area on the zoning lot, the Village Board
may grant a waiver of the requirement upon receipt of the owner's written request and
explanation of the particular hardship.
WHEREAS, the Village Clerk of the Village of Lemont shall certify to the adoption of this
Ordinance and cause the same to be published in pamphlet form.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
