Mr. Kolev stated he wants to revise 6 a 3.
Mr. Varga recommends 6 a. 1. iii. in the second to last line, to change “may’ to “shall be’.
Mr. Kolev agreed that “may” should change to ‘shall be’.
Mrs. McCarthy commented that she prefers it to be ‘may exempt’ it gives the enforcement officer flexibility as opposed to ‘shall be’ that it is exempt no matter what the ordinance says.
Mr. Warner suggests reference ‘agricultural uses and practices’ and creating an exemption for those under C, 1, f, and g; Tillage and similar practices that do not involve filling, grading, or constructional levies. Then G, is improvements undertaking pursuant to the NRCS conservation plan.
Mr. Kolev suggests reorganizing some of the narrative to identify the potential pollutants the site may have and how the property owner is treating it.
Mr. Dreher suggested making another category for agritourism. Mr. Kolev stated he kept it at use and practice only if it applies to the applicant.
Ms. Duffy suggested adding the Illinois Department of Agriculture next to the USDA. Mr. Kolev would like to add that if the applicant met any of the standards of these organizations (USDA/ Illinois Department of Agriculture/NRCS), it would satisfy as a substitution for Stormwater.
Mr. Kolev stated he will look at all the NRCS references to see what a better reference or agency would be and come back to revise this possibly to a generic Federal, State, Local agencies.
Mr. Varga suggests referencing all the agencies for Federal and State (USDA/NRCS/Illinois Department of Agriculture).
Mr. Kolev stated he will look at all the NRCS references to see what a better reference or agency would be and come back to revise this possibly to a generic Federal, State, Local agencies.
Mr. Dreher suggested checking with Kane County and or Walworth County to see how they are approaching this with local control independent from the Agriculture, Federal and State.
Mr. Kolev summarized changing the NRCS to USDA or federal, state, or local guidelines. Then deciding to change “may to shall” will wait until the next meeting.
Mr. Kolev stated that when he touches on number four, he is trying to develop monitoring for water sheds and to focus on pollutants.
Mr. Kolev suggests reviewing winslam and putting together something more for number 2.
Mr. Kolev said he will look to see about the maintenance plan with the recording process. The applicant would potentially need to go to the recorders office to have their BMP recorded with the parcel.
It was suggested to change “potential pollutants of concern’ to ‘deleterious loading’ in #5.
Mr. Varga said to make all the developments plural instead of singular. Look at 6C. referring to the SW existing and increased impervious. He said to treat existing and the new requirements. D, the final word well should be plural to wells.
Mr. Kolev will bring this back for the next TAC meeting on July 9, 2024.
