Mayor Farley presented a recommendation to the Village SHRUBS IN
relative to the subject of shrubs in the right-of-way RIGHT-OF-WAY
which was continued from previous meetings.
It was noted that several residents in the area east
of Randhurst have been instructed by the Public Works
Department to either remove or trim various shrubs.
There are curbs in this area, however there are no
sidewalks.
The Village Manager recommended the following:
905 Westgate - To trim the bushes at the corner of
Westgate and Ironwood to a height of 30", which
the resident has done, to require the chain link fence
in the side yard to be either removed or relocated
approximately 8 feet, to allow the evergreen in the
front yard to remain without being trimmed at this
time, and to allow the shrubs along the side to remain.
1201 Barberry - To trim the bushes to a height of 42"
after the removal of the fence.
1304 Ironwood - To trim the 3 bushes along the edge
of the driveway to a height of 30".
1310 Ironwood - Remove the lower branches on the
evergreen tree up to 6 feet in height which will allow
vision under the tree.
Trustee Busse asked for clarification as to whether
large rocks are permitted in the parkway areas, which
residents placed there in an effort to prevent cars
from driving across lawns.
Joe Baltasi, 905 Westgate and Don Rabb, 802 Newberry,
stated that they can understand the policy of the
Village relative to shrubs in the right-of-way when
a safety factor is involved, however, many of the
shrubs Slated to be tr]mmed or removed are not, in
their opinion, creating any such safety hazard. Me
also expressed his opinion that the Village has
selective enforcement.
Jill Tachee, 1310 Ironwood, stated that she has a 25'
high Blue Spruce and has been instructed to remove
the bottom branches up to a height of 6 feet.
She noted that removing these branches would ruin
the beauty of the tree and trimming it may kill the
tree. Mr. Rabb stated that this particular
Blue Spruce is one of the finest specimens
he has ever seen.
Mr. Rabb noted that this is not the time of year to
transplant shrubs and asked the Board to allow the
shrubs to be transplanted closer to fall in an effort
to save as many of the 36 arborvitae as possible. He
would also like to put the question of this ordinance
to the voting public.
Trustee Floros explained that the enforcement of
this and other laws are considered on a case to case
basis in an effort to be as fair as possible to
everyone.
Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved
Page 3 - May 15, 1990
to concur with the recommendationof the administration
relative to the shrubs in the right~of-way except as
it applies to 905 Westgate where the shrubs can remain
but the fence must be removed and that any shrubs
required to be removed by the resident must be removed
by September, 1990, and to permit staff to work with
the residents on a case to case basis.
