§ 14.9. Birds and other natural resource and wildlife issues.

Latest version.

A qualified professional, such as an ornithologist or wildlife biologist, shall conduct an avian habitat study, as part of the conditional use permit application approval process, to determine if the installation of the WECS will have a substantial adverse impact on birds and bats. The applicant must take reasonable action to mitigate any adverse impacts on habitat or migration. Consultation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as required pursuant to 17 Ill. Admin. Code 1075 shall be included by any applicant. The burden to conduct such consultations shall be upon the applicant and shall be reviewed by the village. The village shall weigh the recommendations of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, if any, but shall not be bound by them and the village shall exercise independent judgment on the acceptance or rejection of such recommendations, unless such recommendations are required by law to be implemented.
