Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - February 16, 1983
Nerge Road Center - Screening Plan
Charles Byrum, Legal Counsel representing developers of the Nerge
Road Center, presented a brief history of conditions as well as a
screening plan for consideration by the Plan Commission. The screening
plan is designed to screen the business area along the south side of
Nerge Road from multi-family units located on the north side of Nerge
Road (P.ohlwing Grove Apartments) .
Gdowski noted that the plan called for plantings limited to a one
foot wide arable land area. He noted that survival of plants in this
narrow of an area would be very questionable.
Paliganoff observed that the Nerge Road right-of-way width,.when
coupled with the distance of the nearest residential building to Nerge
Road, would seem to provide adequate screening in this particular case.
Glass added that the south Nerge Road parkway would be adequate for
additional trees to serve as screening supplementing the distance separation
previously noted by Paliganoff.
Byrum indicated that his clients would be willing to enter into a
maintenance arrangement and also abide by the Village Foreman of Land
and Forestry's recommendations concerning space and species, should
additional parkway trees be recommended by the Plan Commission.
Mullen moved that screening for this location be in the form of
additional parkway trees spaced at a distance less than required by
the Subdivision Control Ordinance and in agreement with the Foreman
of Land and Forestry's recommendations for space and species. Fulton
seconded the motion; whereupon it was approved by unanimous voice vote.
Approval of Minutes
Fulton's motion to approve the minutes of February 2, 1983 was
seconded by Stangeland; whereupon it was approved by unanimous voice
vote.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
