Schempf, M. Krippel, H. Bayer, R. Mentzer, J. Anderson. EX-OFFICIO PRESENT: M. Gehrke, E. Schrader, Fire District Representative, D. Norris, G. Krahn. ALSO PRESENT: P. J. Waldock, Village Planner K. Jania, Secretary Chairman Simmons called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Roll call was taken. L. Kelly, R. Russ, and J. Wilson were absent. Case No. 197-111688AZ G.N. Development Requesting annexation and establishment of A-4, Residential zoning for property located along west side of Plainfield/Naperville Road and the north side of Pilcher Road (135th St.). Mr. Waldock reported to the Board proposed is the annexation of a 323-acre site. Included in the proposal is a mixed unit development, what would normally be a planned unit development. Under the Village of Plainfield current zoning we have no PUD, therefore, the site has been requested for A-4 zoning to accommodate the townhouse development on the site and also the other types of development. The site is located east of Naperville/Plainfield Road, north of Pilcher, and is predominantly open area. There is a substantial amount of grading and earth filling to make the site developable. The lakes will be for private use of the owners association. Housing mix includes 139 single-family home sites, 97 single-family detached cluster homes, and 110 townhouses. Gross density of the property is 1.07 units per acre, net density is 3.5 units per acre. The unit price proposed for the project is in the $125,000 and up range. Townhouse units will range in size from 1200 to 1500 square feet. A private restaurant and lounge is proposed and will be located near the northwest portion of the site. The Village's Comprehensive Plan discusses planned developments in environmentally sensitive areas somewhat remote from the Village proper. Cluster and townhouse development in these areas are suggested by the Comprehensive Plan. Since private streets are proposed, front setback ordinances will only apply to lots along Pilcher and Plainfield/Naperville Road. Rear yard setback generally will not be a problem in this project due to property lines extending out into the lakes. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION Special Meeting November 22, 1988 Page Two Staff's findings are that the subject site is not now contiguous to current Village boundaries, contiguity can be achieved via various routes; the proposed development is in conformance with the 1988 Village Comprehensive Plan; and the subject site can be served by Village water and sewer systems. Staff recommends approval of the annexation and establishment of A-4, Residential zoning at the Lakelands site subject to the following stipulations: Approval of an associated Annexation Agreement acceptable to the developers and the Village; service of the site with Village utility systems, and development on the site to conform with Village approved concept plans, subdivisions, site plans, and engineering plans. Mr. Gerald N. Clark was present along with Mr. Ribando, Everett Clark in charge of marketing, partner Nancy Sertich, and Jack Benning who is with the I/Ryan Group, the land planner on this development. Mr. Clark stated the larger lake, Walloon Lake, is approximately 163 acres and Crooked Lake is approximately 40 acres. There is approximately 7 miles of shoreline around it. It is their feeling the principal market for this project is the empty nester who will probably want the townhomes or cluster type houses where the homeowners association will do the outside maintenance, etc. For those who wish to maintain their own home there will be the single-family homes. E. Schrader, Fire District representative, discussed his letter to the Board regarding water main sizes, fire hydrant positioning and locations, roadway capacity, access and layout. Fire District needs more details regarding these. Also concerned with the minimum spacing between buildings when you allow only 5 feet. Mr. Clark stated they will abide by the Village Engineer's recommendations regarding all of the Fire District concerns. Mr. Jack Benning explained what cluster single-family houses are. They would be in the area of 1200 to 1800 square feet. They try to cluster the homes -- the 5 feet comes into play many times at the garages in that they are pinwheeled around a court. These homes will be maintained by the homeowners association. Mr. Benning then briefly discussed a map showing their preliminary plan for the development. Mr. Clark stated they will have an abundance of material to build roads. Two million cubic yards of dirt will be moved. Majority of the dirt is gravel which will enable them to build good roads. PLAINFIELD PLAN COMMISSION Special Meeting November 22, 1988 Page Three There will be an architectural committee that will review color of roof, material on outside of building, landscaping layout, plans and designs. If the committee feels the building is not compatible it will be turned down. There will be a clubhouse for use of the residents. The pre- annexation agreement asks that the Village allow a liquor license and to operate a restaurant on the premises. This will be owned by the homeowners association. There will probably be three homeowners associations since there will be three different types of housing that have different needs. A long discussion followed regarding traffic and dedication of roads to the development. Several residents asked if 224th will be closed or open to the public. Mr. Clark said they would like to have it dedicated and be a part of the development and have their people maintain it. There will be a frontage road for the development. Mr. Ribando explained what they propose to do with the floodplain, as one of the residents asked if this will make the current flooding worse. Mr. Waldock summarized what he is interested in in discussion at this point: discussion and approval of the idea of annexation of this property if and when it becomes contiguous; look at the overall development; some comment and direction on the specifics of the annexation agreement; direction and discussion of the private road issue for Pilcher and 224th. The Board commented they would like legal opinion on putting weight limits on private roads and enforcement of these roads; would like to see the perimeter of the development remain public; like to go to the 31 foot minimum on width of the roads; would like Fire Department input on building separation. It was the consensus of the Board that this development would be an asset to the Village of Plainfield. Mr. Waldock summarized his recommendations where he recommends approval of the annexation and establishment of A-4, Residential zoning at the Lakelands site subject to the following stipulations: 1) Approval of an associated annexation agreement acceptable to the developers and the Village; 2) Service of the site with Village utility systems; 3) Development on the site to conform with Village approved concept plans, subdivisions, site plansi and engineering plans; 4) The site to become contiguous to Village boundary; and 5) To be converted to a Planned Unit Development at time of establish- ment of this zoning category.
