Mr. Jeff Raduechel, Venture One Real Estate, 9500 Bryn Mawr Ave. Rosemont, IL - Sworn Chairman Venn asked about Variance Request No. 2 - he is concerned about the aerator being installed in the pond and making sure it is working to help with mosquito abatement. Senior Planner Darga stated that part of the variance is intended to make the pond nicer and shift the landscaping due to the fire access road. Chairman Venn asked who is responsible to determine the size of the aerator needed and for the maintenance. Senior Planner Darga stated that the owner of the property would be responsible for maintenance of the pond and aerator. The Community Development Department is responsible for Commercial Code and would contact the owner if there were problems with it operating properly. Senior Planner Darga stated that per code aerators are not required and there is debate on the use of naturalized ponds vs. using aerators, as long as the detention volume is met. Also, there is nothing in the code about the size or use of aerators. Commissioner Hoffman asked what the size of the retention pond is. Mr. Mark Zaprzalka, Jacob & Hefner Associates, 1910 Highland Ave, Suite 100, Lombard, IL - Sworn Mr. Zaprzalka stated that the pond is roughly three acres in size. Chairman Venn asked about Variance No. 6 - if no curb and gutter would be okay with erosion control. Village of Romeoville Page 2 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final September 27, 2016 Senior Planner Darga stated that this is only on the area where the restricted fire lane is located and no regular traffic would use the road. Commission Pyle asked on Variance No. 2 if the installation of the aerator is tied to the variance approval. Mr. Zaprzalka stated that all the required plantings are in place as shown on the landscape plan; the aerator was added if the owner wanted to have one. Commissioner Pyle stated that the language was vague and would like to have it stated differently so it is required or not required. Chairman Venn agreed and would like to see an aerator in place as would Commissioner Pyle.
