by the Board at the last meeting on the subject.

A resident of the Devonshire area presented their major concerns :
1 . The road that has been included in the buffer.
2. The increase of 24 units over the previous plan; the base
price of all units.
3. They want a 100' buffer between the single family and
multi-family homes.
4. Density
Mr. Burton stated that the buildings are two-story, but they
do not have a scale drawing of the exact design of the product
yet. Mr. Burton stated that they will make the berm as high as
possible, but they cannot state exactly how high until there is
more engineering done. Trustee O' Reilly reiterated her concern
with the ingress/egress of the service station so close to a
major intersection. Trustee Hartstein stated that he shared
the concern of President Pro Tem Stone regarding the rights-of-
way; he has no problem with the commercial as presented; he
does not have a problem with the service station if it is done
properly; he would like to see more specifics regarding the
product itself; he thinks that the concerns of the residents
can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction at the Plan
Commission level . Trustee Gerschefske agreed with the comments
made and stated that he thinks this plan is much better than
those previously submitted; he would like the residential/
commercial ratio to be more toward 50%/50°. Mr. Shapero stated
that there would have to be a traffic study done to see exactly
how much commercial the site and the roads could handle. It is
anticipated that the project will be completely built out by 1987
at the latest. It was stated that the berming and screening
should be completed as soon as possible in the construction process.
Mr. Balling explained the concept of the park donation required
of a developer. A resident of Devonshire expressed the concern
that any children living in the proposed development would be
cutting through their backyards . President Pro Tem Stone
explained that this is just a preliminary hearing, and the Plan
Commission is the place where all details will be worked out;
he assured the residents that all of their concerns will be
addressed. Mr. Shapero stated that the number of children
generated from this development will be on the same order as
the Chatham development. The Board again emphasized to the
residents that this is just a preliminary hearing, and the
beginning of a long process, with residents being notified
and being a part of the process. Mr. Balling explained to
the audience what the Village has done in attempting to improve
Route 83.
A resident stated his intense concern for eliminating the
street in the buffer zone; another resident voiced his concern
for lowering the density; the major concern of the residents
appears to be the road included in the buffer area. Mr.
Mastandrea explained their reasoning for placing the road at
the proposed location; he assured the residents that this will
be a high quality development. Trustee Schwartz assured the
6043
5/17/82

recorded in the minutes of this meeting for the use of the
Plan Commission. A resident asked that there be one more
plan brought before the Board.
