1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 P. M. Thursday, June 9, 1977
in the Village Hall. Mr. Rosenfeld was requested to be temporary
Chairman for the evening. Roll call was as follows:
PRESENT: Commissioners Chinn, Hardt, Bentley and
Rosenfeld.
ABSENT: Commissioners Butler and Gramm.
QUORUM PRESENT
Mr. Steve Ledger a potential commissioner was present and was asked
to sit with the Commissioners for the evening.
2. DISCUSSION
a. HOFFMAN GROUP - Lawrence Kapustka, Representative
Mr. Kapustka presented a drawing representing Phase I of the Hoffman
portion of the Parkway landscaping plans. The drawing followed the
pattern previously submitted, however, they enlarged the drawing, in-
cluded a specific list of trees and improved upon the notes. Chairman
Rosenfeld requested that they select a podless and thornless variety
of Honeylocust.
Regarding Horticultural Practices Chairman Rosenfeld stated they are
to follow: the "American National Standards Institute for Nurseryman's
Stock" and the "Illinois Landscape Contractor's Guide". They deal with
the selection of speciman stock and the planting of trees. These should
be noted under Note #4 on the drawing.
It was also pointed out that Hoffman was to be guided by the list of
trees under the current Ordinance. That is, the Ordinance current at
the time of planting.
Chairman Rosenfeld opposed the 2" dia. trees. He felt they should plant
the 21" dia. tree, therefore, each tree would not have to be tied and
staked. Mr. Kapustka took exception to the 22"„ dia. demand, stating
Hoffman was prepared to tie and stake each tree. The decision was left
to Hoffman. 2" or 24" dia. trees were acceptable.
After further discussion a motion was brought by Commissioner Hardt that
they accept the Parkway landscaping plans with the following stipulations:
1) Honeylocust variety be specified to insure a species that is
thornless and podless;
2) that the trees meet the standards of the "Illinois Landscape
Contractor's Guide" and the "American National Standards In-
stitute for Nurseryman's Stock";
3) and that the Pin Oaks in the areas of Lots 2 thru 5 at the
North side of Phase I; as shown on Exhhi, "L';', be changed
to Honeylocusts. The count will be astgnSim .bbl the plana C ,iunt r
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bentley and approved unanimously.
Chairman Rosenfeld and Mr. Kapustka both signed the plans.
b. C. A. HEMPHILL AND ASSOCIATES (HERITAGE PLACE)
Mr. William Lyman and Mr. Frank - Representatives
Mr. Lyman and Mr. Frank presented HOUSE TYPE 73 - A & B showing two (2)
elevations. It is an additional model, which will eventually replace
the 120 Model.
Chairman Rosenfeld felt there was no relationship between the openings
on the top floor and the openings on the ground floor. He suggested
they move the windows. Mr. Frank didn't want to do that, because it
would then become very similar to an already existing model. They
were trying to come up with something very different.
Commissioner Hardt wanted to know if the roof vents were all the same
color and what material the shutters were made of. It was stated that
the roof vents were the same color as the trim and the shutters are
plastic. The gutters also match the trim.
Commissioner Bentley moved that the plans for HOUSE TYPE 73 A & B be
accepted. Chairman Rosenfeld added the following stipulations; that the
treatment of all of the windows, shutters, and all the architectural de-
tailing, such as, painting, trim, roof vents are handled in the same
manner as previously approved.
Commissioner Hardt seconded the motion and a vote was taken.

The motion passed with a three (3) to one (1) vote.
HEMPHILL TOWNHOUSES FOR HERITAGE PLACE - Mr. Lyman and Mr. Frank pre-
sented drawings of 2 and 3 bedroom townhouses with an optional den.
There are essentially two (2) different units - one (1) unit to be
built two (2) different ways. Chairman Rosenfeld asked for a site plan.
Mr. Lyman stated their architect just finished it and they were unable to
have it in time for the meeting.
They plan to build between 31 and 36 units. Each building type will be
different. The builder will have control of the color and trim.
After much discussion. Commissioner Chinn moved that they accept the

the building as submitted with the stipulation that they come back with
the appropriate site plan with topographic information, elevations,
landscaping plans, and samples of materials prior to construction of
Building #1. This motion provides conceptual approval for Building #1,
a Four (4) Unit building. This motion was seconded by Commissioner
Hardt and passed unanimously.
3. NEW BUSINESS
Commissioner Hardt asked if the Commissioners could get some information
on trees and landscaping. This would enable them to become more informed
regarding the varieties in this area.
The Commissioners discussed the need for getting new members. They also
felt that Commissioners who have not attended meetings lately should be
contacted to see if they were still interested in being on the Commission,
if not, their positions should be filled. Tom Fennell agreed to investi-
gate the status of the inactive Commissioners.
The Commissioners discussed recommending a new Chairman and it was de-
cided to "table" the decision until the next meeting.
4. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at
10:105 P. M. June 9, 1977.
