April 12, 2021: Sunset Hills Memorial Park Expansion. The Sunset Hills Memorial Park proposes to expand the existing cemetery to accommodate the continued demand for burial services within the greater Bellevue community. The 36.2-acre developed portion of the 59.3-acre cemetery property lies on the high ground above the slope system and forested band along the greenbelt. The position of the cemetery on the plateau above the forested lower section creates a physical buffer between the active land use and the forest. The proposed cemetery expansion will continue this physical buffer and create a permanent separation between the two uses. This also allows a contiguous dense mass of forested area adjacent to the lower power line and other public greenbelt corridor. Keeping the cemetery on the higher ground directly adjacent to the existing access roads and walkways will eliminate the need to construct new roadways for access down into the lower areas of the property, thereby removing the resultant impact of more impervious surfaces and WQMP treatment areas. To extend the burial grounds, filling and grading will take place in areas with existing undulating grade. The elevation, rise and fall of the existing ground in these areas necessitates earthwork depths exceeding the standard excavation depth of 10 feet and standard fill depth of 5 feet. The proposal has been evaluated by Terracon Associates, the geotechnical consultant. The regraded slopes will be revegetated and returned to use as part of the permanent forest preserve.
