the proposed subdivision stating the site is located at the south- PROPERTY
east corner of Route 53 and Schaeffer Road and the plan is to build (Plan
53 estate-type houses on 65 acres, 1 acre minimum lots. There are Commission
no requests or proposed variations relative to the underlying zoning; referral)
two entrances are being proposed, a main entrance along Route 53 and
a secondary entrance on Schaeffer Road; they are proposing to continue
the bike path which now terminates to the south through this property
which they will work out with the Park District; this plan is predicated
on the hopes that the Village is going to amend the subdivision regulations
relative to certain types of street improvements similar to the discussion
on the 1 acre estate zoning on the Fiore property so that certain type
zoning improvements would not be a variation. Reference the park land
contribution, they would prefer to be considered for a cash donation
rather than a land donation. They would like to pursue monumentation at
both of the entrances and propose some berming and landscaping along
Schaeffer Road and Route 53, and have requested clarification on how the
measurement of lot width would be done especially on a cul de sac lot.

In response to a question from President Clayton reference changes to
be made at the Appearance Commission to provide for custom and semi-custom
homes, Mr. Balling stated that staff is doing some research now reference
a design concept and will make every effort to get this done before this
project or the project to the north is finalized.

improvement over the previous plan; he feels it will encourage residents
who are seeking 1 acre lots to stay in the Village.
fld Moved by Glover, seconded by O'Reilly, to refer this plan to the Plan
Commission for a plan review.
Trustee O'Reilly expressed concerns reference the entrance on Schaeffer
Road and school buses; she likes the idea of connecting the bike path;
she feels the road network on the 25 acre parcel should be taken into
consideration with this parcel development.
Trustee Reid agreed with Trustee O'Reilly reference some provision needs
to be made to tie these two parcels of property together because it was
annexed as one parcel last year.
Trustee Marienthal shares some of the concerns of Trustee O'Reilly and
Trustee Reid and questioned regarding the landscaping as to whose
responsibility it would be. Mr. Nelson stated that it would depend
on the engineering so as to not create an undue liability or burden
to any one owner; it would be either a homeowners association liability
or individual owners; this will be determined.
