Regular Council Minutes 10-18-04 Page 15 Mr. Diemert said I was going just based on what the initiative petition said rather than the history behind it. Mr. Marquardt said I found some people were confused about where it came from that term limits had been thrust upon the Village and actually it was a referendum issue in 1995. Mr. Diemert asked Mrs. Roman to give him the information. Mr. Marquardt said the second item: we received in our packets a chart here without explanation and I don't know what this was provided for. Mayor Rinker said that was for the Wetlands Committee. It is to focus on the properties that are recreational lands. There had been some discussion and some misunderstanding as to where the boundary of the wetland area ended and then the area immediately adjacent to it began. A lot of it was pertinent to the ball fields [someone in the background said dark green] so what I had suggested just because we had drawings that have shown like wetland delineation, the roadways itself which is in yellow, you can see the right-of--way line; we are trying to utilize that as kind of a demarcation between what is the wetland area-without getting too corny, it would be like the wild west and the cultivated east. In other words, the recreation lands that we own where we are doing extensive work in conventional facilities like the pool, the ball fields that are going in-- have a physical, a visual line of demarcation and because the day may come when this roadway gets extended, when and if it ever does we do not know, it made sense to use that right-of--way as kind of a DMZ as a line of demarcation. And that is probably where we would run a trail through at least initially. So the light green is to show the areas where we have already developed recreation or are in the process of. The blue is the Zako property and there is another blue section that was sort of recognized as land that was just laying fallow, and then there is a darker green area next to the red, Progressive is in red. The dark green area that carries all the way up 271, that is really the Wetland area. Most of the berm pathway on the east, southeast and then south sides pretty much follows right next to the roadbed area. Because of that proximity, I thought that if we had a map like this so I asked Tom Evans to work something up. I think he took a CAD drawing and then used the color coding to show that. Then it shows the Goldberg property (in gold) is next door to that. That is just to show the line of separation between where our south boundary line runs and except for that little bump up you can see on the Fappiano property, which actually is included into that gold color, it shows we have pretty much of a kind of Mason- Dixon Line between our property and the properties to the south. So that was the only reason we had it. Mr. Marquardt said I would suggest that the demarcation [be corrected] on the orange portion-- rather than calling it future commercial--it could be misinterpreted since the front of that property is residential. Mayor Rinker said right. Mr. Marquardt said without explanation-I think it better that it stand on its own.
