Phase 1 comprises roughly the south and west area of the subdivision. This area represents approximately 41 acres. Final Plat Site Plan As part of the subdivision, the applicant will complete the streets and utilities in this area, as well as final grade the lots in preparation for their development. The final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat that was previously approved for the entire subdivision. Phase 1 will include 43 single-family detached residential lots, and 69 single-family attached (townhome) units. Phase 1 consists of a of 112 homes on approximately 41 acres, as well as, private roads, and outlots with stormwater detention and landscaping. The Lansdowne subdivision will have 154 residential units in total. Street Alignment / Access / Circulation The site includes two vehicular access points on 127th Street with a looped connection to address the Subdivision Code requirements for multiple points of access. The proposed street network is consistent with the concept plan and preliminary plat. The road network also includes a traffic circle as a traffic calming measure near the townhome portion of the site. Open Space & Landscaping A landscape plan was submitted and reviewed as part of the preliminary plat process. Outlot 3 will be designated as a pocket park. The park obligation for this development will be met via cash in lieu of a park site donation, with potential credit for the cost of path improvements constructed by the developer. The park obligation will be set forth in a formal park dedication and improvement agreement to be entered into between the developer and the Park District prior to recording of the final plat. All other outlots, including those for stormwater management, will include landscaping. Staff finds the landscape plan to be of high quality and which meets the landscaping requirements of the Zoning Code. Stormwater Management/Dormant Special Service Area Stormwater detention will be provided through on-site detention ponds on Outlots 1, 2, 4, and 10. A Dormant Special Service Area (DSSA) request will go before the Board of Trustees on July 2, 2018. Recapture The property does have two recapture liabilities; the Lake Michigan Water Storage tank/ 127th Street Water Main Improvements of $177,890, and the Lake Michigan Water Storage tank/ 127th Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements of $19,878, for a total of $197,768. The Annexation Agreement provides that this will be pain on a per unit basis at the time of the building permit issuance based on a rate of $1,285/dwelling unit for 154 dwelling units. However, staff notes that there is the potential for the developer and the Village to reach an agreement for the developer to complete certain off-site street and/or storm sewer REPORT TO THE PLAN COMMISSION Page #3 of 3 1790-042718.FP.SPR 5/31/2018 LANSDOWNE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-FINAL PLAT improvements, with the costs to be offset by waiving all or a portion of the recapture obligations noted above.
