TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: 1994 S.B.A. Tree Grant Request for Soccer Complex
PURPOSE
Staff requests City Council authorization to apply for a 1994
Small Business Administration (S.B.A. ) Tree Grant for the Soccer
Complex.
BACKGROUND
In February the City of Elgin Department of Parks and Recreation
received notification of the availability of a S.B.A. Tree
Grant. The purpose of the grant is a tree planting initiative
developed for the purpose of contracting with small businesses
for the purchase and planting of trees on public lands .
The application materials were post-marked February 24, 1994
with a submission deadline of March 1, 1994 . This short time
period between notification and submission did not allow time to
consult with the City Council prior to the submission deadline.
Staff felt that it would be in the best interest of the City of
Elgin not to miss the opportunity of getting another matching
grant for the plantings at the Soccer Complex and therefore,
staff has submitted the request pending City Council approval.
The grant application can be withdrawn at any time before the
awards are announced should the Council decide that the
submission is not desirable. Staff has been informed that grant
awards will be announced in approximately six months.
The Small Business Administration Tree Grant is a (50/50) grant
which, if awarded, will be used for the planting of trees at the
Soccer Complex. The landscape budget for the project is
$20,000 . 00. The grant application is for $10,000.00 with a
50/50 match from the the existing landscape budget of
$10,000.00.
Tree Grant Request

Page 2
In 1992 , the City of Elgin, Department of Parks and Recreation,
Forestry Division received an S.B.A. Tree Grant for $49,995. 00
(50/50 Matching Funds) for the planting of 120 trees throughout
the city.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The matching funds up to $10, 000. 00 will be coming from the
existing landscape budget line of the Soccer Complex Development
project of which the City has already received an OSLAD Grant of
$200,000 . The Illinois Department of Conservation allows an
awarded grant to act as the matching funds for another grant.
LEGAL IMPACT
A resolution ratifying submission of the grant application
should be passed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that staff be authorized to continue to apply
for the S.B.A. Tree Grant for the landscaping of the Soccer
Complex and that the City Manager be authorized to sign
ap riate documents.

this program/project is important to your community. Include any
innovative ideas you have incorporated in the project. (Exclusion

(Attach additional sheets if necessary. )
Located on the former Elgin Mental Hospital farm, the City of Elgin,
Department of Parks and Recreation had purchased the property and is
in the process of developing the Elgin Sports Complex (see attached
plan) of which the second phase is the development of the soccer complex.
The master landscape plan for the soccer complex will be an innovative
theme of restablishment of a "Prairie Savanna" ecosystem and an urban
wild life "edge" surrounding the athletic play area in an expanding sea
of urban sprawl.
This project will enable the City of Elgin to provide the maximum input
to the citizens by planting 100 trees (note: due to budgetary limitations
and the scope of the project, this will be Phase 1 of 4 phases) at the
Soccer Complex. The work would be completed by Arbor Day 1995. The
trees chosen have silvical characteristics in line with the site
conditioning and they will add to the aesthetics of the area through
tree form, bark characteristics, spring flowers, seasonal interest/
color, an enhancement of the wildlife habitat; plus, provide a visual
acoustic barrier and windbreak to the soccer fields. The "edge" would
not only provide cover, food and nesting conditions for song birds .
and small mammals but provide a definition of areas of activity between
active and passive recreation; plus, furnish some shade on hot days.
for participants in activities and help screen undesirable views. In
addition, ' the "Prairie Savanna" , would not only serve as a living seed
bank of diversified native material but help to re-establish an
ecosystem that is now vanishing in urban developments.
In addition the project would address Elgin' s high-unemployment and
improve its economic development. Hundreds of children as well as the
thousands who utilize Highway 20 traffic corridor daily will be
immediately imparted by the. project.

and •interior landscape yards• CSR] to be installed and
maintained on a zoning lot shall be as follows:
A. Transition Landscape Yard - Less Than Fifty Feet. For
required transition landscape yards, which are less than
fifty 1501 linear feet in depth, a compact, continuous
screening hedge comprised of shrubs shall be installed on
three and one half 13. 5] foot centers and at a minimum of
four (4] feet in height along the entire length of the
"transition lot line• tSR1, and such hedge shall be main-
tained at a minimum of six t6] feet in height within the
required transition landscape yard. A •solid fence' (SRI
six t6] feet in height may be installed in lieu of or in
any combination with the screening hedge, provided that
the solid fence is not located between the hedge and the.
transition lot line. A suitable pervious ground cover
shall be installed on the entire surface of the transi-
tion landscape yard. All landscaping and fencing shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 19. 12. 600 Ob-
structions in Yards.
B. Transition-Landscape Yard - Greater Than Fifty Feet. For
required transition landscape yards, which are fifty (521
linear feet in depth or more, the required landscaping
shall be installed within the first fifty 150) linear
feet of transition landscape yard depth adjoining a
"transition lot line' (SR] as follows:
1. Shade Trees. The minimum number of required shade
trees to be installed shall be calculated as follows:
Number of shade trees LST] shall equal the area of the
transition landscape yard (TLYA] in square feet
- divided by seventeen hundred [1,700] square feet.
1inimum number of shade trees can be expressed by the
following formula: ST = TLYA / 1, 700.
2. Evergreen and Ornamental Trees. The minimum number of
required evergreen. or ornamental trees to be installed
shall be calculated as follows:
Number of evergreen or ornamental trees tEOT] shall
equal the area of the transition landscape yard iTLYA3
in square feet divided by seventeen hundred 11,700]
square feet. Minimum number of evergreen or ornamental
trees can be expressed by the following formula: EOT =
TLYA / 1, 700.
3. Shrubs. The minimum number of required shrubs to be
installed shall be calculated as follows:
27
Humber of shrubs (S3 shall equal the area of the
transition landscape yard tTLYA3 in square feet
divided by one hundred [1003 square feet. Minimum

lot, which adjoins the transition lot line.
C. Vehicle Use Area Landscape Yard. For required vehicle
use area landscape yards, the required landscaping shall
be as follows:
1. Trees. The minimum number of required trees to be
installed shall be calculated as follows:
Number of trees (T3 shall equal the length of the
perimeter of the vehicle use area (VUAP3 in linear
feet divided by fifty (503 linear feet. That part of
the perimeter of a vehicle use area directly adjoining
a 'building' (SR3 on the same 'zoning lot' (!R3 shall
not beincluded in the measurement of the perimeter of
the vehicle use area. Required trees may be grouped,
but there shall not be less than two (23 trees for
each side of the vehicle use area. The minimum number
of trees can be expressed by the following formula:
T = VUAF / 50.
Requiredtrees may be shade trees, evergreen trees, or
ornamental trees.
2. Screening. Vehicle use areas shall be effectively
screened along fifty (!03 percent of each side,
excepting that. part of any side directly adjoining a
building on the same zoning lot. Screening shall be
comprised of any combination of plant material, earth
mounded berms, garden walls, or fencing. If plant
28
material is used, the minimum number of required
shrubs to be installed shall be calculated as follows:
Number of shrubs C53 shall equal the length of the
perimeter of the vehicle use area. tVUAP7 in linear
feet divided by ten C103 linear feet; the quotient
times three £33 shrubs. Minimum number of shrubs can
be expressed by the following formula: S = (VUAP
/ 10) x 3.
Required shrubs shall be maintained at not less than
two £23 feet in height at any location and not more
than three £33 feet in height within any required
building "setback" CSR7 from a "street lot line" £SR7.
Shrubs may be deciduous or coniferous. Required earth
mounded berms, garden walls, and fencing shall be
constructed at not less than two [27 feet in height at
any location. No chain link or mesh type of fence
with 'inserted screening slats" shall be acceptable in
complying with the provisions of this section. In
certain unique circumstances, such as unusual site
topography, the 'Development Administrator" CSR7 may
require that shrubs, earth mounded berms, garden
walls, and fencing be constructed or maintained at a
greater height.
3. Ground Cover. A suitable pervious ground cover shall
be installed on the entire surface of the vehicle use
area landscape yard.
4. Exceptions and Clarifications.
a. Within the ORI Office Research Industrial District
