PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ;~ SEPTEMBER 19, 1988 PAGE TWO L. Kelly moved to adapt Ordinance No. 1173 Authorizing The Issuance Of $2,635,000 Waterworks And Sewerage Revenue Bonds Of The Village Of Plainfield, Illinois. Seconded by D. Lewin. Vote by roll Call. Lewin, yes; Ke11y, yes; Gullicksen, yes; Dement, yes, Bootz, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion Carried. Planner Waldock reported on Case No. 190-81088PP; Charles' Sharp and Larry Capista requesting approval of the Preliminary Plat for River Ridge Estates; the location is approximately 250' south of 135th Street along the west side of Naperville Road and the west boundary is the DuPage River. The applicants propose to subdivide a 74 acre tract into 55 lots, with a minimum lot size of 24,000 square feet. The lots along River frontage will be over 53,000 square feet. The subject site is about 74 acres and approximately 30 acres are in the flood plain. The primary issue of this Freliminary Plat request is the use of individual septic systems versus Village sanitary sewer. Subdivision regulation requirements for the use of a sanitary sewer would need to be waived to accomplish this development. In considering this matter, staff examined the previous plat approval, the location of the nearest sanitary sewer main, and the prospect for other development in the area creating a need for the extension of sewer systems through or near to the site. The previous preliminary plat proposed for the site suggests that extension of the sanitary sewer is economically feasible although the number of lots would likely need to be increased to cover the extra costs of sanitary sewers.. Development of the property to the north of the River. site appears imminent and would require sanitary sewer extension through the area. It is in the best interest of the Village to promote the extension of sanitary sewer to serve areas northeast of the Village. Although the Village is currently nearing design capacity at its waste water treatment plant, recent system repairs have improved system capactty. For these reasons, the Plan Commission, by a vote of 7 to 0, recommends that the Preliminary Plat of River Ridge Estates be denied on the grounds it does not include sanitary sewer as required by ordinance. The Plan Commission discussed if there was specific evidence that there is a hardship involved in the extension of sanitary sewer. It was the consensus that it is premature in light of a perspective development on the northeast corner of Naperville Road and 135th Street. Charles Sharp spoke in reference to the expense of running sewer and water to this site (River Ridge). He proposed to the Board that he have his engineer compile the cast and things to establish the hardships that they would have in installing water and sewer. Robert Rogina, engineer, spoke representing Mr. Sharp, stating the cast stated in correspondence from the Village's engineer Mr. Djerf, stated the extension of sanitary sewer was $587,000 to the start of development and $125,000 would be the cost of increasing the on-site sewer from 8" to 18" and the extension of the water line would be $155,000 and that would PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BQARD OF TRUSTEES SEPTEMBER 19, 1988 PAGE THREE bring the cost to $867,000. This would be unrealistic. The option is that this project be divided with other proposed projects in the area such as a proposed development by Clark. Mr. Sharp gave reasons why he would be unable to extend sewer and water to the area. Maybe some compromises could be worked out but at this time he is not in a financial position to do this project (water and sewer extension). After much more discussion on flooding in the area and alternate costs extension of the water mains, a proposed parkway along the River and casts of well and septic... D. Gullicksen stated he is not prepared to vote on this project. He wants them (River Ridge Estates) to stay in the Village. He is not ready to accept Village water and septic tanks yet. We need to work with River Ridge and Clark to bring both sewer and water to these developments. J. Bootz moved to concur with the recommendation of the Flan Commission and deny the Preliminary Plat of River Ridge Estates. Due to lack of a second, the motion dies. D. Gullicksen moved to table the Preliminary Plat of River Ridge Estates and direct the Administrator and Planner to continue nogiatians with other developers. Seconded by D. Lewin. Voice vote. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.

The sign is to be mounted on the existing freestanding multi-tenant sign structure which currently has approximately 96 square feet of signage area. By a vote of 6 to 1, the Plan Commission recommended that a variance to allow a 3'6" x 8' 28 square foot sign as requested by Realty World - Plainfield be denied. As a result of this action, the applicant amended their request to 12 square feet for the addition of two sign faces compatible with other tenants at the Plaza in accordance with staff and Plan Commission recommendations. By a vote of 6 to 0, the Plan Commission recommends that the addition of two 6 square foot sign faces (12 sq. ft. total), compatible with other tenants, be approved for the freestanding sign of Plainfield Shopping Plaza. • D.
