County development officials and School Board staff plan to meet Monday to determine whether building rules were violated when a contractor cleared a site last week on the south side of Elgin Boulevard, about a mile west of Barclay Avenue, to make way for an elementary school.
Development Department director Grant Tolbert said the site was bulldozed without the required permits.
"It is cleared, totally cleared," Tolbert said Friday. "Nothing has been submitted to this office. We have seen nothing."
School Board member John Druzbick said his understanding was that all the needed paperwork was done.
"We would not have cleared the land without having all our permits in place," he said. Tolbert has contacted county commissioners about the matter and said that, at the very least, the School Board improperly removed trees at the site.
