APPLICATIONS

05-02 Gordon - 5547 RFD - Estates of Oak Hills - Mr. Gordon presented photographs of berms at Rt 22 and Old McHenry Road, stating this is how he wants his berm to look. The Committee has repeatedly asked that contour drawings be submitted. We cannot consider approval until we know the dimensions of the project including heights, slope and contours.

06-01 Stach - 6750 RFD - Indian Creek Estates - Request to reduce the required setback from the Conservancy area. Since the house is still in the planning stage, Mr. Stach agreed to move the house 20’ in order to comply with the ordinance. No more action will be required from the CSC Committee.

06-02 - Roman- 5226 RFD - Briarcrest Subdivision- In order to accommodate the addition of a gymnasium to their house, this application is a request to reduce the 20’ setback from the conservancy area. Lee Bassett moved to approve the application with the following conditions:

1. The 3 missing Conservancy sign will be replaced to clearly mark the conservancy areas.

2. A chain link fence will be erected before construction begins to protect the Conservancy area from all construction traffic. There will be no construction traffic or materials in the Conservancy areas.

4. The gymnasium foundation wall will be 5’ from the conservancy area.

Kelley Smith seconded the motion. All voted to recommend approval to the Village Board. Motion carried.

Menard’s Project at Old Rt. 53 & Lake Cook Road . Since none of the landscaped area is conservancy or scenic corridor this is not an application, but the CSC Committee was asked to review the landscape plans for this project. There are few native trees, plants or grasses included in their plans. Since this is not a conservancy or scenic corridor native landscaping is not a requirement.

ADJOURNMENT OF MEETING

Bob Borg moved to adjourn. Seconded by Warren Schmitt. All voted aye. Meeting adjourned 9:10 pm.
