Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Planning Case No. 248- . 1221892. Applicant - Arbor of Plainfield, Inc. Location - South of Renwick Road, 400 feet west of Howard Avenue. Request - rezoning from Residence A, single-family to Residence A-2, multi- family. The applicants have requested the rezoning of 11.39 acres along the south side of Renwick Road. The subject area is vacant farmland and is comprised of 2 outlots being platted as part of Arbor Place Subdivision. The subject site is surrounded by vacant farmland in each direction. A farmstead divided from the original farm is located adjacent to the site and is occupied as a single-family dwelling. Peerless Subdivisian is approximately 475 feet east of the nearest rezoning boundary. Plainfield Acres Subdivision (north of Renwick) is located approximately 168 feet east of the nearest building site of the rezoning area. The Comprehensive Plan has guided the vacant land north of Renwick Road west of Howard as moderate density residential. However, a pre-annexation agreement for that area PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 5, 1990 PAGE TWO has established single-family zoning upon annexation. The Plan Commission held a lengthy discussion of this case. Large numbers of people were present to express opposition to the rezoning. Norm and Ione Mueller submitted a legal objection regarding, this case. A petition with 375 names was submitted in opposition as well. Neither the legal objection or the petition specified a reason for opposition, to this case. The Plan Commission expressed concern over the unknown future use of the Spires property adjacent and west of the site. They felt that this use should be determined prior to rezoning of the subject site. Plan Commission recommends denial of the rezoning request by Arbor of Plainfield, Inc. for. an 11.39 acre site from Residence A to Residence A-2 as requested. The vote was unanimous to deny. L. Kelly spoke in reference to a letter circulated to the Board from concerned homeowners. There are some statements in this letter that are incorrect. All the vacant farm land is not to be rezoned. The Board has never said there could be 300 townhouses (rentals) on this property. It has never come to the Village Board prior to this. The letter indicates this is the Township Board, untrue. We are the Village Board, who has the final decision. Mr. Waldock is not a member of the Board. He is the • Village Planner. If we are going to discuss this property, lets discuss the 11 acres only that is involved with this case. Mr. Koop, a partner with Arbor of Plainfield, spoke and displayed same prints. He stated this 11 acres was designated a moderate density housing. The development would be cared for by the Homeowners Association such as snow plowing, grass cutting, shrubbery trimming, exterior and common areas of the building. There will be 4 units per building. We could build 114 units on this property. We have elected to build about 96-98 units. They feel they .have the problem of the surface water worked. out. The units will range from $100,000 to $115,000 (base price) per unit. Single-family homes (2 bedroom) - $125,000 to $165,000. A11 units will have 2 car garages. Many residents from adjacent properties attended the meeting and voiced their concerns. Nancy Ross - sewer/water and schools; (answer) sewer/water will be from the Village utilities and schools are up to the School District but each building permit requires a school contribution. Mike Bass - concerns of where the surface water will run; (answer) the developers have hired a geologist, an engineer and they must consult with the Village Engineer. The developer's engineer stated there will be 3 ponds where the water will be retained. Larry See, Township Raad Commissioner, stated there will be no drain-off from these ponds to the south. It is already a swamp in that .area. The drain file that was in that area and it drained to the DuPage River, it has broken. It is on private property. It does not drain at all anymore. We cannot stand more water to the south. The retention ponds will help with FLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 5, 1990 PAGE THREE flash floods but they must be drained. the developers engineer stated we must follow the ordinances for the Village of Flainfield. Joe Conklin - how deep are the ponds to be?; (answer) maximum 6' to 10'. Joel Mathison - are these units all sale units?; (answer) all sale units. Tim Cummings - stated we do not need multi-family between commercial and residents. Attorney Peterson spoke representing Mr. and Mrs. Norman Mueller who have filed an abjection to Arbor of Plainfield. There property is directly across from Route 30 from Lake Renwick. There concern is water run-off. Engineer Djerf stated each property owner is responsible for there own water run-off. J.

Kelly stated we have denied this request but we do need this type of housing in our community. It is just finding an area. It is a difficult situation where we already have single-family.

Location - southwest corner of Lockport and James Streets. Request - variance to allow construction of an office at 20 foot front yard setback where 30 feet is required. The findings by the Zoning Board of Appeals are: 1) the setbacks as proposed would not be a negative impact to the neighborhood; 2) the proposed setbacks are consistent ,with surrounding properties; 3) the Village will benefit by maintaining consistent development. standards for downtown sites; and 4) setbacks, if approved, would preserve a large oak tree on site. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval of the requested variances to allow 20' building setbacks from Lockport and James Streets. L.

Motion carried, • Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the request from Robert Rogina, Engineer for Phoenix Developers, requesting acceptance of public improvements for Units 2 and 3 of Indian Oaks Estates and reduction of the Letters of Credit far Units 4 and 5. Harry Countryman, Ron Miller, Peter Waldock and Engineer John. Djerf have conducted a site inspection to determine the extent of the public improvements. At that time, we found. Unit 2 complete; Unit 3 needs some maintenance work, silt has built up in the storm sewer line and should be cleaned out; as built drawings have not been furnished to the Village. However, a reduction of the surety is not unreasonable in light of the fact that the physical improvements are complete and the Letter of Credit is about to expire on February 18, 1990 so a new surety will be needed. Engineer Djerf ,stated he has a set of "As Built Drawings" for Unit 2, does not have them for Unit 3. Planner Waldock stated we are recommending withholding acceptance of improvement until we receive the "As Built Drawings" and the Letter of Credit be reduced to maintenance level of 10~ surety. It was the consensus of the Board after much more discussion - Unit 2 is complete with Engineer Djerf having one (1) set of "As Built Drawings". W. Sharp moved to reduce the surety to 10~ of original level or $38,000. Seconded by J. Dement. Motion rescinded. r~ PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 5, 1990 PAGE FIVE It was the consensus of the Board on Unit 3 that three (3) sets of "As Built Drawings" must be supplied to the Village and direct Attorney Harvey to draft a resolution to reduce the surety, and a "Letter of Credit" submitted to him for review prior to the continued meeting of next Monday, February 12, 1990. Unit 4 and 5 are in need of the street lighting. The develop stated they are' having problems getting Commonwealth Edison in to get the street lighting installed. Commonwealth Edison is in a back log. They are requesting a reduction of the "Letter of Credit".
