Ari Boldberg started the review by going over the basic facts of the review. It is to

deemed to not have a significant impact, a negative declaration would be
submitted. If it is deemed to have a significant impact, a positive declaration
would be submitted. The property is currently zoned R-3 multifamily. The ZBA is
involved for the variance required to build the 8-unit facility instead of the allowed
6-unit facility. The Village board was deemed and accepted the Lead Agency roll
in January. DOT responded to the letters that were mailed out with their
questions and it is an ongoing conversation.
Trustee Nick Enders: The county responded positively and had concerns about
storm water capacity. Ari responded that the county did not respond with
concerns from the letter. He also let Nick know that they have a drainage plan in
the works and drawings were provided. The underground system is equipped to
hold a 25-year storm.
Trustee Lisa Voss: Concern about the distance from the property line and to the
next neighbor over. Questioned if they had a Long-Term Storm Water
Management Plan. Per code on page 164, it is required. Ari explained that the
distance from the property line is 5 ft which is within the guidelines in the code.

about 25 feet away and would look into getting an exact figure. Ari explained that
