Village to borrow money if it chose, to finance the cast of
extending water and sewer mains to the area south of the present
Village limits. It would be published in a newspaper of general

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

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.
Planner Waldock reported on Case No. 189-8188V, Realty World
Plainfield - William Caton, owner; Requesting a variation to allow
a 28 square foot sign, altho 20 square feet is the maximum
permitted; Location - Plainfield Shopping Plaza; Proposal - The
applicant proposes to install a business sign of 28 square feet
at the Plainfield Shopping Plaza. 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.
