Location: Bussey Drive and 1-55 West Frontage Road. Mr. Waldock summarized his report as follows: The preliminary plat for the Winding Creek Subdivision was approved by the Village Board on March 11, 1991, subject to ten stipulations. The stipulations were generalized and related to Engineering and Fire Department approvals, Park Donations, Traffic Lights, etc. Each of the stipulations of the preliminary plat are being satisfied with the completion of the various phases of the Winding Creek Subdivision. For example signalization will not be accomplished until phase three. The final plat for Unit two, establishes thirteen single family lots on the north side of Bussey Drive, and thirteen two family lots along the south side of Bussey Drive. The final plat improves on the preliminary plat by increasing the size on the two family lots along Bussey Drive. This results a loss of two lots, and reduces overall density. Staff recommends approval of the final plat of Winding Creek Subdivision Unit two subject to stipulations. 1. Compliance with requirements of the Village Engineer. 2. Fully satisfy each of the ten stipulations specified as part of the Preliminary Plat approval. Village Engineer, John Djerf made comments regarding; The detention easement indicated on the preliminary plat at the rear of lots 79-82 is no longer required. The plan for the retention area for Unit #1 has been modified to provide added capacity required. The loading on the lift station at Route 30 for Units 1 and 2 will be approximately 380 P.E. and is well below the 850 P.E. available capacity. No modifications are required with this unit. Mr. Djerf recommend approval of the final plat for Unit 2, subject to: 1. Receipt of IEPA construction permits for sanitary sewer and water main. 2. Receipt of IDOT, Division of Highways permit for Bussey Drive entrance to the frontage road. 3. Receipt of proper security in an amount not less than 378,000. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES June 2, 1992 Page 3 Don Reger of Geotech Engineering, stated that the IEPA permits have been received and given to John Djerf, when they are signed, he will send them down to the IEPA. IDOT has been contacted for the entrance, they got their comments back and will, in the next few days, be getting permit applications from them. There was discussion on the left turn lane, IDOT has requested the turn land be at Frontage road, at the Truck Stop entrance, rather than at Spangler. A. Consola moved to recommend to the Village Board that they approve the Final Plat for Winding Creek Unit two, subject to stipulations. Seconded by H. Bayer. Vote by roll call. D. Norris, yes; W. Schempf, yes; H. Bayer, yes; A. Consola, yes; M. Krippel, yes; Chairman Sobkoviak, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. This case will go to the Village Board for the June 15, 1992 meeting. CASE NO. 349-050192 A - JEHOVAH WITNESS CONGREGATION Request: Annexation Application Location: 157 Frederick Avenue Mr. Waldock summarized his report. At our last meeting the Plan Commission expressed an interest to consider the Annexation Agreement with the Jehovah Witness Congregation. The subject site is a two acre area at Frederick Avenue and Renwick Road in Plainfield Acres. The Jehovah Witness Congregation is proposing the construction of Kingdom Hall, we considered a site plan at this level, and are nearing approval at the Board level, there are some revisions in the landscape plan that are just about complete. At this time the applicants are working to prepare the amended landscape plan for their development site as requested by the Village Board. The key features of the Annexation Agreement include provisions to permit the owners to connect their structure to sanitary sewer and water facilities of the Village upon payment of usual fees for such connections; and provides for Village approval of Site Plans for construction of the subject site, provides for annexation of the site at such time as the property becomes contiguous to the Village limits. The term of the agreement is for twenty years. Staff recommends approval of the Annexation Agreement as presented. There was discussion about the approval of the site plan, the landscaping plan, and the prior concerns for storm water management by the neighboring residents. W. Schempf moved to recommend to the Village Board the approval of the Annexation Agreement for the Jehovah Witness Congregation at 157 Frederick Avenue. Seconded by D. Norris. Vote by roll call. D. Norris, yes; W. Schempf, yes; H. Bayer, yes; A. Consola, yes; M. Krippel, yes; Chairman Sobkoviak, yes. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. This case will go to the Village Board for its June 15, 1992 meeting. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES June 2, 1992 Page 4 DISCUSSION: Baker Ford Parking Lot Lighting There are four, thirty foot light poles, with three lights each, on both sides of the building site on the Rod Baker property that were not approved in the Site Plan review. The Village has received numerous complaints regarding glare from these light fixtures. Concerns of the Plan Commission, included the immediate issue of the complaint of the lighting, and the issue of changing a site plan after approval. The matter will be considered on June 16, 1992, when the Plan Commission, the residents, and the owner will be present. DISCUSSION: Concept Plan Proposal by R. L. Sohol. Recently the Village Board has expressed an interest in Planned Unit Development Projects for the Village. This is a result of an expressed need by the Development community in our area, for Single-family homesites of less than 12,000 square feet in area. A 12,000 square foot lot was originally arrived at by the Village to encourage quality development, and roominess of subdivisions. What the Planned Unit Development can do is provide a more clustered type of housing, on smaller lots, with open space grouped in areas. Not only would the amount of open space be increased through the Planned Unit Development process, but that open space would be park areas, and buffering zones, rather than between buildings themselves, and the back yards. The density can then be controlled as can the amount of open space. The Planned Unit Development can provide for facade controls, architectural covenants, landscaping requirements on site, as opposed to just the parkway as the standard subdivision would allow. It provides an opportunity for the Village to achieve its goals, but end up with a more marketable situation for the developer with out a loss of quality. Mr. Sohol brought his copy of his concept plan, the plan is for 7800 square feet for Single Family and 9300 square feet for two family Lots. The Commission asked if there Is a PUD anywhere in the area comparable for the members to visit. Some had concerns with the overall density. They felt there was more use for a large play ground, than a swimming pool, and tennis courts. The Commission had concerns with retention ponds, rather than detention ponds. Dry basins are easier than retention ponds to maintain. They felt that 7800 square foot lots are difficult to approve, 7800 square foot lots are 35% smaller than the required 12,000 square foot lots. The Commission is interested in what is going to happen with the Commercial area. Mr. Waldock stated that the planning process for a PUD is much more expensive that a standard subdivision. This is because of the more extensive design and planning needed. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES June 2, 1992 Page 5 There were several suggestions brought up by the builder, the Plan Commission and the Planner, which included; The Plan Commission should visit either Laurel Ridge at 75th and Odgen, to see a PUD, and Marquette Park to see a playground in the center of an development, The Commission would like to see some more information, and a Concept Sketch with plot plans, making some calculations of open areas on the plan, with copies for each Commission member, the builder needs to tie in the commercial area into the overall concept. A joint meeting with the Plan Commission and the Village Board at a workshop was suggested. Adjourn 9:00. Shar6n Hart Secretary 1400 DIVISION ST.
