MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 10, 2016 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Nathan Rau at 7:30 PM
Roll call was taken: Present: Gardner, Hicks, Lutz, Rau, Vogt
Jim Nagle advised Mechelle Childers was unable to attend the meeting and therefore would need someone to take minutes. Lutz nominated Vogt and she accepted.
Chairman Rau asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes of the September 12, 2016 meeting. Rau recommended last months minutes be updated to clarify how the twelve (12) inch freeboard for Z?16?06?01 Country Club Hills Phase II (Parcel No. 08-17-100-001-000) was determined.
The Planning Commission deemed the one (1) foot freeboard appropriate based on Chris Wilson's 9.5.16 e- mail to Jim Nagel in which the IDOT 2011 Drainage Manual (July 2011 ) page 12-4 was referenced. It indicates "The purpose of emergency overflow. The invert of the spillway at the outfall should be at an elevation 1 to 2 ft above the maximum design storage elevation. It is preferable to have a minimum freeboard of 2 ft. However, for very small impoundments (less than 2 acre surface acres) either a minimum of 1 ft of freeboard may be acceptable or a minimum overflow based on the 500 year storm water elevation shall be provided."
A motion was made by Gardner to approve the minutes of the September 12, 2016 meeting as amended by Rau and seconded by Lutz. Motion carried.
