Glass, Chairman Fred Geinosky, Secretary George Mullen David Paliganoff Paul Ayers Patton Feichter Thomas Parker Charles Henrici Absent: John Meyers Staff: * Raymond R. Rummel , Administrative Assistant Al Boffice, Director Engineering and Community Development NEW BUSINESS Item A. Christus Victor Lutheran Church Screening Plan. Chairman Glass asked if the screening plan pertained to the new addition. Boffice reported that the screening is required for the additional 55 new parking spaces. Commissioner Mullen asked if a berm could be constructed. Reverend Schindel said that a 6 foot berm is too costly. Chairman Glass noted that a smaller berm with plantings would meet code. Commissioner Henrici noted that the Church lot is much higher above grade than the surrounding residential properties. That fact creates the need for screening. Henrici asked if the parking lot could be receded and a berm constructed. The petitioner thought that a sunken parking lot was inappropriate since the parking lot is already being used for stormwater retention. Commissioner Glass noted that the consensus of the Plan Commission was that screening is needed to block the headlights of vehicles parking at night. A fence is not needed. A mix of 2 and 3 foot plantings along with a berm and perhaps a pedestrian walkway would be sufficient. Chairman Glass suggested that the petitioner speak with the Village Forester to obtain some ideas on the kind of plantings that could be used as well as where those plantings should be located. Commissioner Mullen noted that the kind of plants shown on the present plan are acceptable; however, the Plan Commission wants an effective screen as well as an attractive landscape. The Plan Commission does not want just a line of trees. The petitioner agreed to revise the screening plan following the direction of the Plan Commission. Please continue. . . . . .
