Development /Lakelands Final Plat approval for Lakelands Unit One. Location: Northeast corner of Naperville- Plainfield Road and 135th Street in Wheatland Township. Mr. Waldock reported to the Board on the Final Plat for Unit One of the Lakelands Subdivision. This tract was annexed to the Village some time last month. Unit One involves 160.369 acres with 17 cluster and townhouse lots and 20 single - family lots. The Final Plat is in conformance with the approved Preliminary Plat. The Final Plat meets the conditions of the annexation agreement. The Village Engineer has reviewed the engineering plans along with the Final Plat for the subject site and has approached the developer with some minor corrections. The Village Board, in reviewing the Preliminary Plat, had a concern with some missing dimensions. A revised Preliminary Plat was presented with the dimensions. E. Schrader, Fire District representative, stated he thought the Board was in agreement that the cul -de -sac sizes should be 60' radius for pavement surfaces. The Lakelands plans only show 50'. The Fire District ordinance requires 601. Gerald Clark, Developer, stated the cul -de -sac sizes were agreed to in the annexation agreement. He stated they were not trying to save 10' of pavement. The issue was that they are controlled by governmental agencies to the amount of fill that they are allowed to put in the lake and what they can take out. They have only so much space to work with. Mr. Waldock stated the Village is bound by the annexation agreement. If Mr. Clark is willing to provide additional pavement width, it is his discretion to do so. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION October 3, 1989 Page Two Mr. Waldock then checked the annexation agreement which states cul -de -sac diameter will be 80' which would be a 40' radius. Mr. Schrader stated the Fire Department cannot turn a fire truck around in that area and you are giving away some fire safety element. A question arose regarding on- street parking. Mr. Clark stated there will be no on- street parking, except along 135th Street. All residents will be required to have two -car garages. The driveway setbacks will be far enough back where there should not be a problem with on- street parking. W. Schempf moved to recommend to the Village Board that they approve the Final Plat for Lakelands Unit One. Seconded by J. Sobkoviak. Vote by roll call. Bayer, yes; Mentzer, yes; Anderson, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, yes; Simmons, yes. 7 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Case No. 230- 92689SPR - Rick and Michelle Migliorini Requesting Site plan Review for three townhouse structures including 14 units on three lots. Location: Lots 8, 9 and 10 of Marybrook Subdivision at the corner of Hazelcrest and Route 59. Mr. Waldock reported that proposed with the site plan review is the development of three structures on three parcels. The overall site has 275' of frontage along Route 59, and 150' of frontage along Hazelcrest. Primary access is provided off of a shared drive from Route 59 and secondary access off of Hazelcrest. The access drives are 16' wide. There are two parking spaces per unit, 28 parking spaces overall. Landscaping is provided along the Route 59 frontage with scattered plantings throughout the site. In review a primary change suggested b with Building A. The 5 -unit structure 4 -unit would then be facing Route 59. building separation between the units. separation.

The applicants_ are working on the townhouse covenants which would preserve access and the availability of parking spaces for the units on the south lot. Present zoning at the site is B -3. Staff has requested that the applicants submit a rezoning application to change the zoning designation at the site to Residential A -4 which is appropriate for a townhouse development. It is felt that a zoning change is appropriate at this site in that the subject area was improved specifically for the purpose of townhouse developments. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION October 3, 1989 Page Three As the properties involved in the area of the B -3 site had progressed, covenants were placed on those sales to require compliance with A -4 setbacks and construction of structures which would be for multi - family use only. Applicants will be applying for rezoning. Mr. Waldock also stated that we are looking at rezoning all of the ten lots, they would all be A -4. The existing townhouse owners will be contacted to sign with the rezoning applciation. Application fees will be waived. Mr. Waldock also noted that the new site plan review ordinance requires sites with over 50% hard surface area to provide storm water detention. That would apply in the case of Parcel A. However, in review by the Village Engineer it is determined that that would cause a hardship in this case and overburden the development of the site since the site is served with storm ditches and storm sewers. Because of the age of the Marybrook Subdivision the Village Engineer felt that the time to accomplish storm detention was at the time of subdivision. After some discussion the Board agreed to waive storm detention for Parcel A. Mr. Allan Mauer, Developer, stated that this is a subdivision that has been in existence since the forties. Basically what he is doing is finishing up existing platted lots that were lots of record since that time. The problem is that in the interim the ten lots were zoned B -3. He stated that at the time he purchased the property he sat down with the Village's previous planner to discuss development of this site. The Planner stated that anything can be done that is covered under B -3. Mr. Mauer explained that with every contract he has sold of the ten lots it is specifically stipulated in those contracts that it is for multi- family use only. R. Mentzer commented that in looking at the new site plan review ordinance, it looks like more detailed plans should have been presented with this case. The plans need more detail as to landscaping, number of trees, fire hydrants, and sidewalks. He stated that since we have this ordinance we should follow it. Mr. Mauer commented that he is developing the site with sidewalks and fire hydrants. A long discussion followed regarding site plan review applications A comment was also made that the plans do not show anything about the 25% brick facade. M. Krippel commented that we have a specific set of requirements laid out in the site plan review ordinance and feels they have not been met with this development. He does not have a problem with the development, but we should follow the requirements for all applications. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION October 3, 1989 Page Four In agreement with the'Board, Mr. Waldock stated recommended findings: 1. Subject site is directly adjacent to existing storm management facilities. 2. Development of the subject site as presented will provide minimal impact to the area. 3. Development of the site as proposed is not to the highest use available under current zoning. 4. Development of this site is in conformance with private covenants. Along with these findings staff recommends approval of the subject site plan subject to the following stipulations: 1. Place the 5 -unit building along Hazelcrest and the 4 -unit building along Route 59 in Parcel A. 2. Establish access easements for ingress and egress between Parcels A and B. 3. Provide berms and landscape plantings along frontage with Route 59 to buffer from traffic activity. 4. Establish covenants for Lots 9 and 10 to preserve shared parking rights and use of common areas. 5. Rezone from Business District B -3 to Residential A -4. 6. The facade is to be minimally 25% masonry construction. 7. Site plan shall conform to requirements for lighting and access, landscaping, trash enclosures as provided in the site plan review ordinance. J. Sobkoviak moved to recommend to the Village Board that they approve the site plan for Rick and Michelle Migliorini to include the the stipulations and findings stated by the Planner. Seconded by H. Bayer. Vote by roll call. Bayer, yes; Mentzer, no; Anderson, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, yes; Simmons, yes. 6 yes, 1 no. Motion carried. Conditional Use Permit Ordinance Mr. Waldock stated the Village Board has requested that the Plan Commission consider a provision of the conditional use permit ordinance for drive -in restaurants in B -3 districts. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION October 3, 1989 Page Five The Plan Commission discussed a proposed draft of these regulations which are intended to protect adjacent residential properties and provide for on -site storage of autos waiting in line at drive -up windows. It was the consensus of the Board to approve this provision being added to the conditional use permit ordinance. J. Sobkoviak moved to recommend to the Village Board that they approve of the conditional uses in business districts regarding drive- through restaurants limited to B -3 zoning. Seconded by J. Anderson. Vote by roll call. Bayer, yes; Mentzer, yes; Anderson, yes; Schempf, yes; Sobkoviak, yes; Krippel, yes; Simmons, yes; 7 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
