Trustee Marienthal brought the Board up to date on the Buffalo BUFFALO CREEK
Creek Forest Preserve and stormwater management project. Mr. FOREST PRESERVE
Steve Christie, Supervisor of Planning and Design for the Lake & STORM WATER
County Forest Preserve, gave a presentation concerning the MANAGEMENT
ultimate facility design. Mr. Christie is here tonight, on PROJECT
behalf of the District Commissioners, to ask the Board to request
that the MSD consider the aesthetic aspects of this design as
currently proposed. Mr. Christie stated that the project covers
strictly flood control at this point. The Forest Preserve District
wishes to have whatever work is done on Forest Preserve property
tend to restore the original vegetation and wildlife which may
have existed on that site. The Forest Preserve District has
asked the MSD to consider some changes in the plan to encompass
their objectives. The Forest Preserve District would like this
�•/ project to answer other needs besides flood control . Mr. Christie
then showed slides which both portrayed the area as it presently
stands, as well as renderings of possible construction. The
area consists of 336 acres, and the Forest Preserve District
wishes to preserve some prairie land, rather than all forest
land. Mr. Christie requested Buffalo Grove's support in asking
the MSD to get other uses from this area. The Lake County Forest
Preserve proposes a looped bicycle path connecting the surrounding
communities. Mr. Christie also explained the proposed engineering
of the dam.

Park District Commissioner O ' Reilly questioned whether the
concrete spillway could face another direction , so as not to
face directly onto Arlington Heights Road. The Park District 's
primary interest is in linking the bike path with other communities.

without having a representative from the MSD present. Staff
members then commented on the project; it was stated that cost
factors regarding the changes should be available.
Moved by Schwartz, seconded by O ' Reilly, to join with the Lake
County Forest Preserve to ask that the MSD review the plans
with regard to recreational use and aesthetics on the proposed
site, within a reasonable amount of time. Upon roll call ,

time extension from the Board in two years.
