It was moved by Mrs. Karell, supported by Mrs. Ludtke, to recommend to the
Planning Commission approval of the landscape plan for the new Liberty Bank,
subject to the following:
● The cocoa shell mulch be changed.
● The brick wall be full thickness brick, with no piers. That the
brick for the back wall match the brick for the piers, which is Wyandotte
series.
● That there be a pedestrian opening in the wall on Elmhurst to
allow residents access to Ann Arbor Road.
● That roses be planted at the back wall only, the others on the
plan to be changed to a different variety of plant.
● That the minor details specified in the report of McKenna
Associates be corrected.
Ayes all, with Mr. Bohlander abstaining.

they had seen while researching various types of walls.

Brick, with piers $300-$340
Moved by Mrs. Karell, supported by Mr. Grutza, that the requirements for rear
brick walls with a concrete cap be changed to eliminate the need for piers every
thirty feet, but that the brick for the rear walls match the brick piers in
front, which is Wyandotte series. Ayes all.
