05-2013 NewsletterA Message-from the Village Manager
We have been working with the Council, the Recreation Advisory Board,
and the Waterways Advisory Board to finalize our conceptual design for Phase 2 of
the Anchorage Park renovations. Phase 1 was completed in 2009 and dramatically
improved the amenities of the park. Phase 2 is focused on consolidating and
improving the boat storage area. The goal of this project is to make the storage area
more compatible with the size of modern - day boats and to minimize the impact on
available green space. We believe that the latest concept accomplishes these two
goals. The new park configuration will consolidate the four existing boat storage
areas into one and create a total of 157 usable boat storage spaces. In addition, the
concept improves the day use boat trailer parking and the overall aesthetics of these areas.
New features will also be added to the park including a kayak launch area, an observation deck and fishing pier, expansion of
the walking path to 3 /4th of a mile, and an addition of a restroom facility near the ball field, and expansion of the wet slip area
to include day docks.
The improvements to the park will likely be in the range of 1.5 to 1.8 million dollars. However, we are in process of
obtaining grants that will equal approximately $800,000 and we will have $250,000 available from developer fee funds. Our
hope is to begin this project in 2014 and complete in Summer of 2015.

Keeping Our Sidewalks Safe
The village is currently evaluating potential life
safety hazards caused by landscaping along
public sidewalks. Landscaping can block
visibility at intersections and driveway inlets,
causing dangerous conditions.
Trimming landscaping at sidewalks helps ensure
safe travel for pedestrians, strollers, bicycles and other types of public traffic.
The maximum height for required landscape buffers at sidewalks in
multi - family, public and commercial zoning districts is 3 feet.
In single - family zoning districts, the village code requires landscaping be
maintained to minimize public hazards. This may be achieved by trimming
landscaping within 3 feet of the intersection of driveways and sidewalks to a
height no greater than 3 feet.
* Vacation Time is Approaching: Don't worry about overdue fines while you are away for the
