Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Case No. 322-$2091FP. A_bblicant - Searls Building Components, Inc. Location - Southwest corner of Renwick Road at Howard Avenue. Request - Annexation and Final Plat far Renwick Pointe, Unit T. The Preliminary Plat for Renwick Pointe Estates was approved on May 21, 1990 by the Village Board of Trustees. This approval was granted subject to the following stipulations: 1) Oversize the storm detention area to allow for a reduction in release rates. 2) Comply with Village Engineer and Plainfield Fire Protection District requirements. 3) Comply with Park District and School District Ordinances. ~) The inlets on Howard Street are to be addressed to the requirements of the Village Engineer. The Preliminary Plat includes sixty-two (G2) single-family homesites. Access to the site is provided via Howard Avenue and a newly extended Dan O'Connell Avenue. Cross streets through the subdivision include Orchard Lane at the north, Rueben Street through the center, and Feeney along the south border for the site. The engineering plans have been submitted for the subdivision as shown in the letter from Engineer Joe Regis dated January 29, 1992. He indicates the Final Plat is in compliance with the Preliminary Plat. Final Plat for Unit 1 includes fifty- three (53) single-family homesites. Streets to be constructed with PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ~.~ FEBRIIARY 3~ 1992 PAGE TYPO this unit include Howard Avenue, Rueben, and Orchard Lane. Storm water detention areas are provided south of the subject site in the area that will one day be developed as Unit 2. Easements for access to this area have been proposed. Such easements will be required as part of this Final Plat approval. The Plan Commission recommends approval of the Final Plat for Renwick Pointe, Unit 1 Subdivision subject to the following stipulations: 1) Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer as listed in the report dated January 29, 1992. 2) Compliance with the Plainfield Fire Protection District. 3) Provision of easements for storm sewers and storm detention basins which are located off site (within Unit 2). 4) Annexation of the subject site. The stormwater detention for the Final Plat Unit 1 is at the south portion of the site which would not be annexed as part of this phase. We have received easement documents to accomplish this provision. Staff is looking for some direction from the Board to process this through annexation and draft the ordinances. After some discussion, it was the consensus that the Plat must be corrected to show the lots numbered one (1) through fifty-three (53) instead of being numbered in blocks, the Plat must be corrected for Village signatures. The correct spelling for Rueben Street on the Plat, a grant of easement for the property to the south for the detention pond must be executed and provided to the Village. This case will be on Agenda for February 20, 1992 if all stipulations are satisfied. Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the proposed Agricultural Zoning District. In accordance with recently approved FPA expansion conditions, Staff is presenting the Draft Ordinance for the Agricultural Zoning District. This Ordinance has been reviewed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Will County Land Use Department, and has been determined to be satisfactory to meet the needs of agricultural preservation concerns which were generated by Plainfield's FPA expansion requests. The ordinance has been considered by the Plan Commission during public hearings held early last year, and the Ordinance is now being presented to you for consideration and discussion. Key features of this ordinance include provisions for permitted land uses as follows: 1) General farming activities. 2) Farm Stands for sale only of produce grown on site. 3) Parks, playgrounds, and forest preserves. 4) Single-Family detached dwellings. 5) Public and private utility facilities. Included as accessory uses are barns, implement sheds, silos, garages, corn cribs, etc. In general, the accessory buildings necessary to operate a farm. The minimum lot area for this Zoning District is forty (40) acres. This is seen as a suitable acreage to provide for future subdivision when appropriate. The forty (40) acre minimum lot area will also preserve a significant amount of agricultural land. Thereby PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRIISTEES FEBRIIARY 3, 1992 PAGE THREE protecting this land from premature development. This is a larger lot area than even the County. We would be more restrictive than the County, with the adoption of this Ordinance. Minimum lot frontage by this Ordinance would be five hundred feet (500'). After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that this Ordinance is to protect and preserve the farming land now existing. We are attempting to preserve the same uses that those property owners enjoyed before they annexed to the Village. If they should want to rezone in the future, they have that opportunity. The Board removed "raising of fur-bearing animals" from Permitted Uses; in Section III Assessory Uses #3 Animal Husbandry (add) non- confinement (uiticulture is growing of grapes). Administrator Van Vooren spoke in reference to Greenfield Sites Third Airport. The Municipal League has requested some support for the Greenfield Sites. After some discussion, there were two (2) Board Members supporting the air port and three (3) against. It was the consensus of the Board to do nothing. J. Dement moved to adopt Resolution 1007 Far Maintenance of Streets And Highways in the amount of $40, 250 from Motor Fuel Tax Funds for the period of January 1, 1992 to December 31, 1992. Seconded by W. Sharp. Vote by roll call. Sharp, yes; Dement, yes; Gullicksen, yes; Ray, yes; Lambert, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Administrator Van Vooren reported in reference to the January 1992 Budget Reduction By The State Of Illinois. As you are all aware of, Governor Edgar and the General Assembly have approved approximately $300,000,000 of budget cuts impacted Plainfield's Motor Fuel Tax Receipts. As a result of their actions, Plainfield will lose approximately $2825.00 between February and June of 1992. This reduction translates into a 3.5$ reduction in our annual receipts. The Village currently uses these monies to maintain its roadway system and remove snow. I have attached a more detailed explanation of this cut, as prepared by the Illinois Municipal League in its January 22, 1992 Bulletin. Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Van Dyke Road Recapture For Quail Run Subdivision. We have received a letter from Ed Welch, attorney for the Quail Run Subdivision Developers. Mr. Welch is interested in a cost recapture arrangement for Van Dyke improvements adjoining their subdivision. The developers had indicated during the subdivision approval process that they were interested in a recapture program for the costs of the Van Dyke Road improvements. Van Dyke Road improvements include the full width roadway, curb, gutter and sidewalks (to be placed along the east side of Van Dyke). The west side is to be improved with gravel shoulders and a drainage ditch. The street width is PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRU8TEE8 FEBRUARY 3, 1992 PAGE FOUR designed to meet Village standards for collector streets. Staff does not see a great benefit to the Village in entering into a recapture program. It is not something that is mandatory. We did not state during the approval process one way or the other with regard to recapture. After some discussion, it was the consensus that we should review the Chaplin Farm agreement and also investigate benefits to be consistent to the surrounding properties. W. Sharp moved to make public the Executive Session minutes for the period of July 15, 1991 through and including December 16, 1991. Seconded by J. Dement. Vote by roll call.

They will hold their first meeting Friday, February 7, 1992 at 7:30 a.m. at the Plainfield Library. W. Sharp and M. Lambert will attend. Civilian Police/Fire Ride-Along Program, we talked a little last meeting in reference to this program. We have already implemented the termination of the Civilian Ride--Along Program. Attorney Harvey is reviewing the Illinois Bell Franchise Agreement. We have received information from IDOT in regard to the Vista Lane project. Attorney Harvey will review this information. When the State took half of the communities surcharge, they gave us the opportunity to levy a long-distant carrier charge. We will look into this program. J. Dement reported our Street Department and the Engineers are looking into the streets and sidewalks. This will be our yearly report. Planner Waldock reported: Romeoville has applied to NIPC for an FPA expansion which adjoins the Village of Plainfield's eastern border. This boundary line we would share is the I-55 Corridor. A question has arisen to the interpretation of our plumbing code, as to the number of water meters needed for stacked apartment buildings. The Administrative Staff and Water/Sewer Superintendent has looked at the ordinance and feels the building code plumbing section does not prohibit the use of one (1) water meter for a PLAINFIELD VILLAGE HOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 3, 1992 PAGE FIVE twenty-four (24) unit (Calkins) apartment building. After some discussion it was the consensus that the Water/Sewer Superintendent and the Plumbing Inspector will attend the next Workshop on February 10, 1992, to work this problem out. Plainfield Volunteer Firefighters Women's Association is requesting permission to place a temporary sign at Andreason's Travel for their Spaghetti Dinner on February 7, 1992. The Board approved. Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a letter from Lakelands Corporation dated January 28, 1992. They are seeking building permits for lots thirty (30) and thirty-four (34) in Unit 1 of Lakelands Subdivision. At present, the subdivision does not have a completed road base accessing these lots. Both sites are on Lakeshore Drive which is parallel to Naperville/Plainfield Road. This is contrary to Building Department Policy which would not allow building permits until the road base was completed. Do to the weather, it has been impossible to build the road. Mr. Clark stated he will have all the roads in as soon as weather permits, no later than late spring. He stated the off-sa.te sewer is beginning to make good progress. The sewer should reach Lakelands by the first of April. The houses cannot be occupied until the sewer and water is in the subdivision and hooked up to the houses, we understand that Mayor Latta stated due to the roads not being installed, if conditions are so bad on the streets when the inspectors need to make an inspection for safety reasons, someone from the Lakelands will drive our Inspectors in for their inspections. Also, we would like a letter from Mr. Clark and a letter from the buyer, stating they understand the sewer is not to the lot at this point and no occupancy will be given until the sewer has been approved. W. Sharp moved to allow Mr. Clark to be issued building permits on lots thirty (30) and thirty-four (34) in Lakelands Subdivision subject to the following stipulations: 1) That at -the time inspections are required and the road conditions of the road warrant it, Mr. Clark will drive the Inspectors into the site. 2) That two (2) letters are received by the Village from the buyer of lot thirty-four ( 3 4 ) and from Mr . Clark on lot thirty ( 3 0) , stating they are aware that no occupancy permits will be issued until the sewer and water has passed Village inspections. Seconded by J. Dement. Vote by roll call.
