APPLICATIONS

05-02 Gordon - 5547 RFD - Estates of Oak Hills - Tony Gordon attended to

discuss the addition to his berm. The berm was reconfigured; part of the it extended in to the IDOT right of way and it did not conform to the drawing submitted with the application. The berm, in its current condition with corrections that were made, is close in design to the plans that were submitted to the Village. Tony has not submitted a seed mix to use on the berm as required in this application. IDOT or the concrete company has covered the berm with the seed mats used along the roadway. Tony said he did not asked that the berm be seeded by IDOT. Jim Hogue will contact IDOT to find out what kinds of seeds are used. Tony said he will add native seeds to the berm and perhaps a few trees.

MOTION by Warren Schmitt: The Committee recommends approval of the berm in the current condition, the seed mats stay in place to prevent erosion of the topsoil, we need to the what is in the seed mats, and we will review the ordinance regarding the landscaping requirements for berms. Ellen Deasy seconded the motion. All committee members attending voted to approve.
