Mr. Jack Weber, Pulte Home Corporation quickly summarized the revisions made to the concept plan pursuant to the Boards direction from the last meeting. Applicant has requested sewer capacity for 100 dwelling units and 70 units or its equivalent P/E for the commercial component to be prepaid in the year 2000.

The subject site is located at the southwest comer o 119th Street and 248th Avenue. At this time, the applicant seeks annexation agreement and preliminary plat approval. Several issues outstanding include the fencing between the development and an adjacent horse farm, improvements to 248th Avenue, sewer and water issues and public access to a large retention pond planned on the property. The average lot size is 10,800 feet although some of the lots are only 73 feet wide while the ordinance calls for an 85-foot minimum. Attorney Philipchuck representing the developer told the Board that the lots could be widened, but it would be at the expense of the public open space. A few of the Plainfield Village Board of Trustees May 1, 2000 4 Trustees stated that they would settle for the narrower lots in exchange for public access to a lake that will be stocked with fish and perhaps have a path around it. Mr. John Wilson, representing the Park District, stated that the Park had some reservations about how close some of the homes will be to the lake. Will the owners of those homes like people fishing and walking near their back yards? S. Rathbun moved to direct the Village Attorney to draft an ordinance annexing the subject parcel and for the agreement to be revised allowing modifications per Board and Staff direction as discussed tonight and approval of the preliminary plat with the stipulations outlined in the Staff Report of April 24, 2000.

Director Testin told the Board that the subject site is located along the East Side of Route 59. The parcel is adjacent to the south side of Parkview Meadows subdivision and West Side of the Arbor of Plainfield subdivision. Both Parkview Meadows and Arbor of Plainfield have approved preliminary plats but need final plat approval. The subject property consists of 31.75 acres. The proposed concept plan has multi-family (104 units) and Commercial (5 one acre lots). The multi-family is designed as condominiums so that there are no individual lots and everything outside the building pad is common space. This matter has been before the Concept Committee on April 13 and rejected. There were several problems that were identified, including a lack of open space and parkland, access onto Route 59 and buffering within the development and in relation to neighboring subdivisions. The developer requested that they have their plan reviewed by the entire Board. Developers, Chuck Crezenco and Jack Fugett were present and talked about developing 104 condominiums and five commercial lots off Rt. 59 on the 31.75-acre parcel. After lengthy discussions, the Board felt that the Concept Plan was not satisfactory and they suggested that the plan be brought before the Plan Commission and possibly back to the Concept Committee for more review.
