He is asking that the City or the developer of Oak <br />Brook Peninsula show that the road will be more than 50 feet from <br />the ordinary high water (OHW) elevation.

This will mean only about 50 feet of the entire length of <br />street will not meet the setback from the OHW line. <br />Mr. Miller explained that if a variance is not granted and the <br />developer is forced to move the street, there will be a larger <br />impact on the surrounding area than by granting a variance. He <br />noted that the street will be closer to the cranberry bog leaving <br />less natural vegetation to act as a filter and to screen the <br />street.
