Planner Waldock spoke re: Final Plat Approval for Winding Creek
Unit 7. The Preliminary Plat approval stipulated improvements to
Rt. 30 with phase 3. However, the Illinois Department of
Transportation has not approved Rt. 3o improvements at the present
• time. It is the IDOT contention that traffic signals are not yet
warranted. Staff believes that further discussion between IDOT,
the developer and the Village should be pursued so that proper
ingress and egress is assured for Winding Creek Subdivision. The
developer does not have any objections to satisfying the
requirements of the Preliminary Plat which include traffic signals
on Rt. 30, and turn lanes as necessary. Trustee Dement had a
concern that the unit would be completed and warrants will not be
issued by the state. Planner Waldock stated that a Letter of

regard to traffic signals.
