SUFFIELD PLACE Mr. Boysen reviewed his memo, dated September 21 , 1978,
(Carley) PLAT recommending engineering approval of the Suffield Place
OF SUBDIVISION final plat of subdivision with eight conditions. Property
formerly was called Carley and is located north of Busch
Road east of Green Knolls Subdivision. In addition, it was
felt that water quality of the lake should be included in
the Subdivision Improvement Agreement to make it contracturally incumbent
upon the developer to produce a letter of credit or bond to insure water
quality.
Barbara Sheldon, Plan Commissioner, stated that the
Commission recommends approval subject to four points as outlined in their
memo, dated September 14, 1978.
Lengthy discussion took place regarding lots 20 and 21 in
Block 5 being subdivided with Green Knolls Unit 3 and resubdivided in this
plat. There was some concern that the sale of the two lots had not been
consumated. Mr. Raysa stated no one can subdivide land that they do not
own, and if he tries to do that, he would not be able to get a mortgage,
and the Village would sue. He said the Village has recourse in this matter.
Mr. Balling stated the Appearance Commission is still
pending their review which will take place prior to issuance of building
permits.
In response to questions from Mr. Balling, Mr. Christopher
Carley stated there were certain commitments to the Park District, separate
and apart from commitments to the Village, with regard to the lake, parking
area, and cash donation of $225 per home. Since Miles Construction Company
will now be developing the property, Mr. Carley presented a copy of a letter,
dated September 22, from M. J. Miles, President, to the Park District commiting
himself to the previous commitments made. The Village will not be the
collection agent for this donation.

Mr. Raysa felt the Village should have a letter from the
owner and developer releasing the Village from any recapture liability.
Moved by Kandel , seconded by Mendenhall to approve the final
plat of subdivision for Suffield Place subject to approval of the Village
Attorney concerning recapture and subject to approval of the Village Engineer
concerning the conditions noted in his memo, dated September 21 , 1978, and
the north extension of the bike path.
`./ It was noted that the annexation agreement requires that
the conveyance of Outlot A (lake) must be at the time of final plat approval .
It was decided the lot will be conveyed immediately after recording of the
plat so that the deed will be for a lot instead of metes and bounds.
Trustee Bogart asked if the Village has written communica-
tion from the Park District accepting wet retention. Mr. Balling stated
that the Park District owns the lake with a deed restriction that the
Village has absolute right to approve a retention facility.
Trustee Bogart stated that he voted against the preliminary
plat because of the wet retention, but he will vote in favor of the final
plat because the Park District has accepted the lake.
