Chairman Sobkoviak declared the minutes of December 15, 1992 accepted as presented. OLD BUSINESS: 376- 120892.PP GOLDEN MEADOW ESTATES UNIT # 4 The subject site in this case is vacant farm land. No substantial tree coverage or unusual topography on the 25.7 acre site, annexation of the property was completed on December 21, 1992. The Preliminary Plat will be developed in two phases. Access is provided by extension of Golden Meadow Drive from the south, and via Route 59 on the east property line. Two cul- de -sacs and a looped street are also planned, street stub is provided to the north and west. Due to the access to Route 59, Illinois Department of Transportation will be required to review and approve this subdivision plat in accordance with Illinois Revised Statutes. Preliminary discussion with Illinois Department of Transportation has indicated that limited access will be a limited right turn in and right turn out movement only from the public street access point. It is also anticipated that they will expect a right -of -way of 75 ft. from center line for Route 59. A 1.3 acre park site is provided in the central area of the project. Storm water detention is provided in an out lot, along Route 59 in the eastern portion of the subdivision. A curtain type of storm drain system is provided for rear yard areas along the west and north perimeter of the site. The general layout conforms with provisions of the Annexation Agreement and Sketch Plan. Lot areas range from 9,000 sq. ft. for lots adjoining the part to 15,000 sq. ft. for a cul -de- sac location. 72 lots are proposed. Right -of -way dimensions appear satisfactory in accordance with Subdivision Regulations. Spacing between intersections which may be too close to meet ordinance minimums. Staff does not view this as a hazardous condition, due to the low traffic cul -de -sac that is affected. Lot 109 (adjoining Route 59) has now been widened to accommodate the 75 ft. set back from center line. This will provide for an expanded separation between any house built on that lot. Lot 118 has now been increased in lot area and meets the minimum requirement of 9,500 sq. ft. suggested by the staff report. The Preliminary Plat drawings submitted as of the day of this report did not include all the information required by the subdivision regulations. Most of that data has now been presented to the Village Engineer. Staff is therefore recommending approval of the Preliminary Plat for Golden Meadow Estates Unit 4 subject to the thirteen stipulations listed in the staff report. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have already been addressed by the revised plan. PLAN CONBUSSION MEWTES January 5, 1993 Page 2 J. Djerf read his review letter, and listed the two comments, and two recommendations. Comments: 1. Storm water detention provided will be at a release rate 0.2 cfs /acre; 2. Sanitary sewers will be directed through Units 1, 2, and 3. The 24" interceptor along Route 59 will be provided as discussed in Annexation Agreement. Recommendations: 1. The water system for Unit 4 should include the 12" water main on Route 59, to connect up with the line on Heather Court in Unit 3. That looping will aid fire flows and provide a more dependable system. 2. The water mains in Unit 5 on Primrose Circle should be increased in size from .6" to 8" diameter, to improve fire flow to that area. Mr. Neumann spoke regarding; the park site, the fact that Golden Meadow is providing funding to fully improve the site; the lot sizes; he also summarized the Engineers report regarding the utilities; There were questions and answers between Mr. Neumann and the Commissioners regarding; stub streets, and the fact that Preliminary Plat is in conformance with the Annexation Agreement; and there are still concerns about the lot sizes; And questions and answers between Mr. Neumann and Golden Meadow residents regarding; the park in Golden Meadow Unit Two and the fact that the park still is not a park, and their displeasure about it. Mr. Neumann explained that the property is owned by the park district, and not his responsibility. The residents were concerned about the smaller lot sizes, in regard to property values, and heavier construction traffic. The residents were also concerned about the construction mess in the area, and the lack of a place for children to play. The residents wanted a time when the lake in Unit One would be cleaned of debris, and ready for use. The residents were also concerned about traffic on Golden Meadow Drive, and wanted a lower speed limit. M. Latta said that the residents on Indian Boundary had petitioned for a lower speed limit on their street. Mr. Schrader, the fire district representative, stated that there is a serious problem with right turn only access, but he did agreed with the utility plans. The owner of the adjoining 4 acres is Mr. Peterson. His lawyer, Mr. Martin complained, the Peterson Property would be land locked because there is no access to Route 59. The property would have to be residential, because all the property surrounding them is residential. He said he wanted a stub street from Golden Meadow Unit Four to the Peterson property. After discussion of concerns of the Plan Commission regarding, the park site, the Peterson property, the Fire District reservations, and talk of the continued concerns regarding lot sizes. Mark Krippel made a motion for the approval for the plat for Golden Meadows Subdivision Unit Four, subject to the thirteen stipulations of the Planner, the engineers stipulations, and an additional stipulation to address the access of the Peterson property prior to the final plat, that should be regarded as a minor amendment.
