Milton Berzock, Chairman of the Director's Association of the Villas of Oak Creek, stated that he has inspected the fence and does not find it aesthetically offensive, and asks that the Board follow the attorney's recommendation and consider this a legal fence and have the matter put to rest. Trustee Shifrin stated that as long as this is in accordance with Village ordinances, it would seen that there is far greater risk of detriment to the townhomes. Mr. Balling stated that Mt Schwartz offered to landscape on the outside of the fence, but that is not feasible because of the space available. In response to a question from President Clayton, Mr. Balling stated that the drainage matter is being watched and taken care of. Trustee Reid stated that he has been at the site, and he can see both viewpoints, but since the fence is being built on the property and it is a permitted use on the property, he does not see much point in further discussion.

Mr. Matt stated that Mr. Schwartz was fined for beginning work without a permit. Mr. Balling stated that there is an approved landscaping plan which Mr. Schwartz is required to follow. President Clayton stated that the purpose of the discussion tonight was to provide an opportunity for resident input; the Village Attorney has stated that Mr. Schwartz has a 7782 12/4/89 legal right to construct the fence. Mr. Agran stated that they have no obligation to the fence, but they would like the fence moved back so that bushes could be installed on their side of the fence; Mr. Schwartz should not be able to walk away from his commitments; he stated that he would be willing to remove the flashing red light if that would help. Mr. Rigsby reviewed the landscape plan for the audience and the Board he reiterated the fact that the approved landscape plan will be planted with the fence being installed. President Clayton suggested to Mr. Agran that they might want to consider using the $1,000 from Mr. Schwartz for landscaping. President Clayton stated that the Board has no choice in the matter with regard to the legality of the fence; she stated that she appreciated the time of everyone. Mr. Balling stated that he would get a report on the drainage problem to Mr. Agran. Mr. Balling made a presentation to the Board on the CENTRAL GARAGE FY1990-91 Central Garage Budget, reviewing the budget BUDGET prepared December 4, 1989. Mr. Balling made a presentation to the Board with regard to ROTARY CLUB - Rotary Club's contribution to the Town Center Village Green, VILLAGE GREEN details of which are contained in Mr. Rylko's memo to the Board of November 13, 1989. Mr. Balling stated that it is the intent of Rotary to present the Village Green to the Village with the purpose of operating an annual commitment to programming for the Village Green. It is important that the Club be recognized in this opportunity. It would be the Club's desire, if the Board agrees, that identity of the Village Green be designated Rotary Village Green, and that it would be a bond of commitment on the part of the Club to continue to make it's commitment to the community. Trustee Shifrin stated that he hesitates to use a generic name on public facilities when it is an opportunity to honor someone; perhaps the name could be hyphenated. Mr. Balling stated that Mr. Shifrin's suggestion was presented to the Club, and there are some opportunities; it is important to the Rotary Club to have their name recognized. The Rotary Club will discuss this at their next meeting. Mr. Balling stated that it would be a Village park, but one of the reasons for the identity is to show the community what Rotary is doing, and also to bind the Club to 7783 12/4/89 this program on an on-going basis. Rotary is only talking about perhaps 3 weekends per year for their own programming, which would leave a great deal of time for other Village programming. The Rotary programming would be presented to the Village each year for approval. Mr. Balling again stated that there are many Rotary parks in the area, which is another reason that identity is so important to the Club. This program will be submitted to the Rotary District for an awards consideration. President Clayton asked if there were any objections from the Board in having Rotary continue along the present line of consideration; there were no objections. Mr. Raysa explained why the Village requires permit fees. JAYCEE CHRISTMAS TREE SALE President clayton stated that the fees are generally waived for charitable organizations.
