MEETING
In Attendance:
Trustee M. Tosto, Chairman
Trustee R. Chernick Tom Cech, Director of Public Works-
Trustee S. Ulharik Joe Gdowski, Foreman of Land/Forestry
Meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M.
Chairman Tosto announced that today's meeting with the Roundtree Commons
Homeowners' Association has been cancelled by Roundtree and the meeting
has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 30, 1983, at 7:00 P.M.
Chairman Tosto reviewed the proposed Tree Ordinance Revision that permits
Village personnel to plant bare root trees. This was previously discussed
and recommended for approval by the Committee.
Mr. Cech and Mr. Gdowski presented a new list of acceptable trees for considera-
tion as a further revision of the tree ordinance. Trees were selected for
their low maintenance, aesthetic features as well as their ability to with-
stand the climatic and soil conditions of this area. Generally, they are able
to hold a truer form which minimizes pruning and are more insect and disease
tolerant which reduces spraying requirements.
The list of acceptable parkway trees submitted and unanimously approved by the
Committee was:
Norway Maple (seedless) White Oak
Red Maple (seedless) Red Oak
White Ash (seedless) English Oak
Blue Ash (seedless) Sawtooth 0ak
Green Ash (seedless) Burr Oak
Hesse European Ash Hackberry
Big Leaf Linden (seedless) Ginkgo (male only)
Little Leaf Linden (seedless Village Green Zelkova
European Hornbeam Flowering Pear (fruitless)
American Hornbeam Shawnee Brave Cypress
Katsura Tree Honeylocust (seedless & thornless)
Tulip Tree
The new list was expanded to obtain greater variety of species in the Village
and greater flexibility in purchasing trees thereby reducing our material
costs.
