This was due to the elimination of a building that infringed on the wetland area. Neeley stated that all water features will be seasonally airated to reduce the likelihood of mosquitoes and other insects. Neeley mentioned that they are seeking a variation for their landscaping plan to allow 130 of their designated parkway trees to be placed on private property. It was noted from staff comments that 318 parkway trees are required for this subdivision. Lexington plans to provide 342 trees in and near the parkway area with 130 of those trees on private property. There will be 212 parkway trees. Neeley stated that those trees on private property will be maintained by Lexington until such a time when the Homeowners Association will assume maintenance responsibility. Neeley noted that the lift station will be located near the northwest corner of the site. Neeley further noted that the wetland mitigation plans are under the fourth review by the Army Corps of Engineers and they hope to receive final approval from the Army Corps soon. Commissioner McAllister questioned the time frame until the landscaping reaches maturity. Neeley stated that it will take up to twenty-five(25) years for the :Landscaping to reach maturity. Neeley noted, however, that the perimeter of the development will contain a multiple of eight (8) and ten(10) foot plantings. Chairman Geinosky questioned what their time frame was for the development. Neeley stated that they hope to be moving dirt this fall and preparing the foundations for the model homes this winter. The model homes would be open by March. Chairman Geinosky questioned if Lexington discussed their plans with Terry Bolger or nearby homeowners. Neeley stated that no discussions have been held with Bolger and there have been no recent discussions with homeowners in the area. Chairman Geinosky questioned if all the conditions as stated in the March 22 Finding-of-Fact were met. Neeley stated that the window glazing will be increased to provide for better sound screen and the eight (8) additional parking spaces on Huntington. Court and Hawthorne Lane were included in the final plans. Commissioner Meyers questioned the height of the retaining wall next to the southwest entrance pond and building 29. Neeley and staff were unable to answer this question. Commissioner Meyers requested that staff respond back to him on this question.

Chairman Geinosky questioned when Manor Care plans to begin construction. Zajicek stated construction is scheduled to begin by early this fall and last 9 months. After further deliberation the Plan Commission took the following action: - Commissioner Meyers moved and Commissioner Henrici seconded the motion to approve the Final Site Plan and to allow under Section 3.94B of the Village Zoning Ordinance to allow seventeen(17) foot paved parking stalls with two(2) foot overhang parking for those parking stalls along the southern perimeter of the parking lot for the separate Alzheimer facility. Upon voting all AYES (Glass ABSENT) . The motion passed unanimously. - Commissioner Ayers moved and Commissioner Feichter seconded the motion to recommend the Village Board approve the Final Plat of Subdivision. Upon voting, all AYES (Glass ABSENT) . The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Henrici questioned if the landscaping behind the Alzheimer unit could be extended to the east side along the north property line. Commissioner Henrici further mentioned that the proposed landscaping directly behind the Alzheimer facility provided a better screen than the landscaping along the east side. Commissioner Henrici noted this might be a problem as more cars may use the rear parking lot along the east side due to the opening of the new facility. Zajicek stated they would not have a problem in providing landscaping along the east side of the north property line that is substantially similar to the west side of the north property line. Commissioner Henrici moved and Commissioner Paliganoff seconded the motion to approve the Final Landscape Plan conditional upon having landscaping provided along the east side of the north property line that is substantially similar to the west side.
