#7 PLAINFIELD SOUTH WISEMAN HUGHES
Mr. Testin stated that the applicant is seeking some direction for the Board. It has been
approximately a year since the public hearing was held and the Board had given the direction to the
Village Attorney to draft the ordinances.
Ms. Patti Bernhard, attorney for the applicant, stated that concerns expressed by the Board previously
have been addressed in this revised concept plan.
Mr. Mike Schoppe, Schoppe Land Design, stated that the lots along the open space corridor have
been removed. Additionally, the school/park site has been increased from 28 to 40 acres and the
single family has been reduced to accommodate the increased school/park donation. The concept
plan reflects 1,241 units and an overall density of 3 .13. They have also lined up the access road to
the active adult community.
Mr. Larry Vaupel, Wiseman Hughes, pointed out that they have created this concept plan because
when the project was originally brought before the Board, the Board asked to see how that concept
would layout. This project will be before the Board several more times. They have to come back for
Preliminary PUD, Final PUD and subdivision plat and they have to abide by the Design Guidelines.
Trustee Fay stated that the revised concept plan is a great improvement over the previous plan and
that he likes the road alignment with the Active Adult community. Trustee Thomson questioned the
agreement with the Park District for the land swap. Mr. Vaupel pointed out the agreement will be
finalized pending approval from the Village Board. Also, the Park District will need to come before
the Board to annex the property.
Mayor O'Connell expressed some concern regarding approving a blanket number of units. Mr.
Vaupel stated that the annexation agreement identifies only a density of 3.13 and they will still need
to come back for site plan review. Mayor O'Connell also expressed some concern regarding the
balance of multi-family. Mr. Vaupel pointed out that the multi-family is along the Wikaduke behind
commercial and that is an appropriate location for it.
