Trustee Calabrese why he changed his decision on Century Trace Subdivision
Annexation. Trustee Calabrese responded that Century Trace changed what he wanted.
The setback size between the houses, and the lot sizes that I required, and they made
changes to the actual plot. Ms. Koehler also asked Trustee O'Connell if she also seen
those changes. Trustee O'Connell responded that if there were changes I did not feel
they were enough.
Diane Halm thanked Mayor Rock for his letter addressing the issue of growth in our
Village. She was wondering why the Planning Commission and certain members of the
Village Board always go along with certain developers. She asked Administrator
Burghard how he could justify a need for a new Comprehensive Plan? Administrator
Burghard stated that there is a distinct conflict between our Comprehensive Plan and our
Zoning Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan that the Village now has did not anticipate
the level of growth that is taking place. A new consultant and a new Comprehensive Plan
will bring that up to date.

5) WILDING POINTE UNIT 2.
Director Durbin stated that the applicant is seeking approval of the second and f'mal phase
of Wilding Pointe located at the Northwest comer of 135th Street and Van Dyke Road.
The Village approved the preliminary plat and annexation agreement on April 5, 1999.
Unit 2 is located in the northern and western portions Of the development with frontage
along both 135th Street and Van Dyke Road. Unit 2 identifies a school site, park site and
209 single-family units on approximately 93 acres. The applicant is applying for the
remainder of the development, which allows for economy of scale by doing the
improvements such as the applicant's full obligation for Van Dyke Road improvements at
one time. Due to sewer capacity constraints, the applicant will only apply to the EPA for
100 units of the development. It is possible that the applicant may record only part of the
plat due to limitations from sewer capacity. This is possible since it would be less than
what is identified for approval for all of Unit 2. The non-recorded portion would require
re-approval by the Board. Staff has suggested that they include along with the 4
stipulations another stipulation that the Letter of Credit only apply to areas being
developed.
The Developer, Allan Fry was present and heard the discussions, stated that he
understood and agreed to apply for only 100 units per the presentation.
S. Calabrese moved to approve a Final Plat for Unit 2 of Wilding Pointe, a residential
development located at the Northwest Comer of 135th and Van Dyke and to include the
four stipulations presented in the staff report and to add an additional stipulation that the
Letter of Credit be established only to apply to areas being developed within the unit.
