<br />Regular Council Meeting <br />4/18/88 <br />Page 5 <br />SOM/Beta Signal - Mr. Basile said Mr. Hovancsek said that C.E.I. will be <br />installing the light power to the poles on Wednesday or Thursday and on <br />Saturday it will be energized and by Saturday evening April 23 it will be <br />operational. <br />Progressive's New Drive <br />Mr. James Heller of Keeva J. Kekst Architects Iuc. showed the landscape <br />plans f or the new Progressive Drive. He explained that the plan indicates <br />that the major tree buffer is to remain and is strictly removed as indicated <br />by the City Engineer strictly where the road cuts through it. The existing <br />road will be removed after the new road would be installed and then it would <br />be seeded and landscaped. The plan also indicates a new landscaping <br />treatment to go where the old road was as well as along the corner of. the <br />property including new trees, bushes, etc. He said this was shown as a <br />conceptual plan to be accepted by the Planning Commission. It is also <br />identified by a plant list using mechanical names specifying specific trees <br />and bushes. <br />Mr. Rinker said that Council did not have the code identifying the trees, <br />etc., and asked Mr. Heller to point out what some of the trees are. <br />Mr. Heller said that there are a variety of trees and bushes which range in <br />height and cited some of the specifics. He said this is only addressing <br />starting from where the existing drive is picked up at the top of the <br />driveway from that point north; that it is not addressing anywhere else. <br />Mre Heller said that it is strictly where the new driveway is being carved <br />in. He said they are also planting 12 trees along.the landscaped median. <br />He explained that the median is curved so you will not be able to look <br />straight in any direction and be able to.see into it and that it will. keep <br />the traffic at a slow pace. Mr. Heller said that there will be one 16' wide <br />inbound lane and at the throat going from two lanes to three to permit the <br />strong right-hand or eastbound move. It aligns properly as directed by <br />Village Engineer Hovancsek as far as its alignment with Alpha. <br />Jeff Schiemann - said on January 26 Mayor Carmen signed a contract with <br />Progressive.that pretty much said within ten days they were to have all four <br />houses listed (owned by Progressive.) He said in talking with Bruce tonight <br />he was_ told that one house was listed for 6-8 weeks and two of the. other <br />houses (if he is correct) were listed this week or maybe the week before, <br />and one of the houses is still in limbo as f ar as we know--it cannot be <br />found in the listings anywhere as.of _April 11. <br />? ,• . <br />Mr. Rinker said that he understands that three out of four we can account <br />for in_some fashion. One was listed but is now in something of a limbo; it <br />is temporarily withdrawn. He thinks that is 833. He said that he believed <br />there was an eviction process starting and there is an agreement reached <br />where he will be out by the end of April, however, one of the brokers has <br />said that it is a pigsty inside and before they want to show it they want to <br />clean it up. Mr. Rinker said that he had tried to get one of the agents <br />here this evening. He said it is his understanding that Realty One has <br />taken on all four and they have been assigned to three different agents. He <br />• did not reach any one of them on.the phone.today;.he was hoping they could <br />be here to describe the particulars of that and to give an answer on what <br />happened to the f ourth house.
