DARNELL, J. DEMENT, K. O'CONNELL, S. RATHBUN. OTHERS PRESENT: J. HARVEY - ATTORNEY D. BENNETT - CHIEF OF POLICE S. JANIK - VILLAGE CLERK C. MINICK - FINANCE J. DURBIN - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT A. PERSONS - PUBLIC WORKS L. VAUPEL - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 7:10 p.m. WHEATLAND TOWNSHIP PARK PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. Director Durbin explained that the applicant is seeking consideration of a pre-annexation agreement for a five- (5) acre parcel, which is proposed to contain a soccer field, baseball field, and parking lot. This site is currently part of a larger 31 -acre parcel owned by the Lutheran Development Corporation, which is planning a Lutheran High School on the remainder of the site. The park is bound by 127th Street to the south and unincorporated agricultural land to the east, west, and north. The applicant is proceeding with development plans under the jurisdiction of Will County; however, they propose a pre- annexation agreement to mitigate Village concerns. No dwelling units are proposed for the site, therefore, the Annexation agreement proposes to waive the library impact fee, annexation impact fee, and no antimonotony provisions will be needed. The applicant agrees to dedicate right of way along 127th Street for an eighty- (80) foot right of way when requested by the Village and provide easements if requested. The applicant will provide the Village with development plans prior to county approval or if developed under Village jurisdiction, site plan approval will be required. The Village will allow the applicant the use of a well site for irrigation purposes, which must be entirely independent from the Village system consistent with Village codes. Michael Martin, Attorney for Wheatland Township and Supervisor James Sapitro were present. Mr. Martin addressed the Board and asked if the format of the agreement could be redrafted because the standard agreement brings in a developer, and we really have no developer, the standard format talks about a park district, library district contribution and there will not be contributions. We do not want to annex at all to the Plainfield Park District. Richard Bremel, adjacent neighbor, had concerns about safety and believes that there could be potential problems and would require better police patrol. John Wilson, Plainfield Township Park District, believes that the Wheatland Township Park should be part of the Plainfield Park District. Jim Jacobsen, Lutheran Development' Corporation, stated that they, in fact, are exploring the development of a Lutheran High School on the remainder of the site. There were no further comments from the public. S. Rathbun moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by K. O'Connell. Vote by roll call.
