Tom Rettenbacher suggested that when discussing the screening plans, the speaker should clearly state which part of the requirement they are talking about, the parking lot screening or the loading dock screening. Bruce Logan and the developers from Patrick Daly went through the plans for the revisions of Elk Crossing. Daly stated that they have responded to the homeowners' preference to coniferous material along the 4' berm by planning for Japanese Yews and Norway Spruce on the northern and southern end for proper screening. In addition, the developers proposed to add a chain-link fence across the west side which will connect with the existing fence for further screening. ' Chairman Glass then asked the developers about the situation with the Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - January 21, 1987 Elk Crossing: Screening Plan (continued) loading docks and how many would be provided for. Mr. Cassata responded that Jewel and Osco would need three; and for the other buildings, there will be one dock per loading area which will satisfy the Code requirements. Chairman Glass mentioned that trucks in other businesses do not follow the requirements by not loading in the dock area. Glass stated that he saw trucks loading and unloading in front of 7-11 and !White Hen on Biesterfield and Meacham Roads. George Mullen asked the developers which type of screening will be used in light of the Village Engineer's suggestions that the chain- link fence was not sufficient screening on the north. Daly explained that the chain-link fence would be practical because it gave added security from people kicking in the existing stockade fence like they do now. This chain-link fence would be built as close to the existing stockade as possible (approximately one foot). Ms. Daly added that there would be major planting near the dock area. Mr. Glass questioned whether or not the Boardwalk Condominium Association is required to maintain the fence. Mr. Rettenbacher explained that it was not put up as a screen but as it is shown on the zoning plat - its existence is required. Daly added that he would be willing to switch to a stockade fence for screening. it was the consensus that the stockade should be used for the screening. Chairman Glass added that stone or plastic should be put between the two stockade fences to deter weed growth. Mr. Mullen moved to accept the screening plan with the following changes: 1. Plant yews and spruce instead of quince on the west border. 2. Build a stockade fence across the north next to the residen- tial area. 3. Place stone or plastic between the two stockade fences. 4. The 4' berm on the west side will be measured from the greatest elevation. Mr. Geinosky seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Elk Crossing Plat of Subdivision (Northwest Corner, Biesterfield & Arlington Heights Roads) Daly and Associates read and responded to the four comments made by the village Engineer. Mr. Mullen moved to approve the plat subject to staff review. Dave Paliganoff seconded, and the motion was carried. Morganfield Plat of Resubdivision (Von Braun and Volkamer Trails) Mr. Rettenbacher questioned what would happen if a homeowner in this subdivision wished to add-on in light of the fact that the lots are arranged with tight building envelopes. Chairman Glass suggested that Lot #11 should face toward Von Braun to lessen the visual effect of a building in relation to Lot 910. Mr. Breen agreed to do this. Mr. Mullen moved to recommend approval of the Morganfield Plat of Subdivision.• The motion was seconded by Mr. Geinosky. The vote was: Aye: Glass, Geinosky, Knudsen, Mullen, Paliganoff; Nay: Fulton.
