Mayor Rock called the Public Hearing to order at 7:20 p.m. Present roll call stands.
Mr. Jim Testin stated the applicant has submitted an annexation agreement, which again staff is
looking for more specific criteria in timing of improvements that need to be done. The applicant has
been working with our consultant on the design and it has improved greatly.
Trustee Calabrese stated to Mr. Guinta, Developer, if we allow this to move on, I need something that
is going to tell me that the project that started prior to this is going to get finished and this project is
going to get finished if you start something else. There has to be some timetables and deadlines.
We need to know that things are going to be taken care of. I would like to have some sort of a
timetable with staff laid out because if it comes up to where the timetable is laid out and its not met,
then I will reconsider and ask the Board to reconsider continuing this or allowing this subdivision to
continue on and I'm talking about the project that's prior to this one and this one. There has to be
timetables and they have to be met.
Mr. Mike Guinta, the Developer for the Meadows Office Complex at 135th St. and Route 59 and River
Point Estates, stated we currently have a permit for and are under construction for the last building
and we have full intentions on completing it this summer, a six month window to get that building
completed. Everything that needs to be completed will be completed. The intention of this
subdivision will be a single phase project, all the interior improvements, sewer, water, roads,
landscaping, the paved bike path, and outside improvements, River Road improvements and sewer
and water extensions will all be done as one phase that will take, weather permitting, one year.
Trustee Calabrese asked if there was an agreement reached with the Park District. Mr. Guinta
responded that they have reached an agreement with the Park District.
Mr. Jim Testin stated that they still have to deal with some of the anti-monotony. The applicant has
identified that he will handle it through an architectural control committee, typically that means it's the
developer, himself, for a certain time period. We need more detail in regards to that, too. The
applicant is looking to do custom homes.
frustee O'Connell questioned if Mr. Guinta was mitigating the 1 DO-year flood plain. Mr. Guinta stated
they are in the process of getting the engineering completed for a map revision to accommodate the
