I agree with Ron Houck's comments below. Being at the back of a cul-de-sac and having woods behind our lot which
will face Illinois street and the buildings, we want a reasonable amount of buffer betweeen our back yard and the
road/buildings. There needs to be discussion with the homeowners as to the exact amount of buffer/trees, etc that will
be utilized. Thanks. Andy

Adrienne,
The graphic added to Part 5 in the US 31 Corridor section is misleading. Although it is probably designed to be
generically applied, it does not accurately represent the circumstances of our neighborhood with a 100 foot buffer.
Additionally, the buffer area that is shown west of Illinois Street shows deciduous trees taller than a two-story home.
To not have a negative impact on our neighborhood, the buffer must provide total visual screening year round. This
would mean mounding and coniferous trees. The average specimens planted are usually 6-8 foot in height. Even with
mounding, this only provides a 10-12 foot height in the buffer area. To the graphic attached here, I added a typical line-
of-sight from a home to the 10-story building in the cross-section. A view of the upper stories of high buildings is
unacceptable, if our property values are to be protected. For buildings fronting onto US 31 and near adjacent
residential areas the building height should not exceed six stories and for the 3-story and 6-story buildings there should
be a maximum height restrictions of 45 feet and 80 feet, respectively.
Ron
