Exceptions to the Complete streets policy must be documented in writing by the Village
Administrator and should only be approved if one or more of the following conditions are met. Exception requests shall be reviewed and recommended by the Village Planning Commission. Recommended exceptions shall be reviewed and granted by Village Council. Documentation of any proposed exception shall be made publicly available prior to approval and committee review through publishing of the Planning Commission meeting agenda:
(a) Accommodation is not necessary on corridors where specific users are prohibited, such as interstate freeways or pedestrian malls. Exclusion of certain users on certain corridors should not exempt projects from accommodating other permitted users.
(1) Transit accommodations are not required where there is no existing or planned transit service.
(b) The cost of establishing facilities for all users would be excessively disproportionate to the need or exceed budget costs. In cases where the additional cost is considered excessively disproportionate, the project sponsor may propose an alternate design.
(c) Routine maintenance of the transportation network that does not change the roadway geometry or operations.
(d) Documentation of an absence of current and future need.
(e) Where a reasonable and equivalent project along the same corridor is already programmed to provide facilities exempted from the project at hand.
