CARLEY Trustee Mendenhall noted that the Carley preliminary plat
PRELIMINARY had been referred to the Park District because the park
PLAT site and detention (wet or dry) will be theirs to maintain.
He then reviewed his memo, dated April 17, 1978, regarding
his attendance at the Park District meeting.
Park Commissioner O'Reilly stated that in order to solve
1 ) the problem of the dry detention area being too soggy for good maintenance,
2) the problem of basic drainage in the area, and 3) to make 2 additional
`./ acres of the site 100% useable, the Park District voted to elect wet detention
(lake) .
The Board then reviewed a memo, dated April 15, 1978, from
Stanley Crosland, Director of Parks and Recreation, which contained a sample
draft of a motion made and approved at the regular Park Board meeting of
April 13, 1978, in which the Park Board indicated preference for the lake
design.
Commissioner O'Reilly stated that instead of paying for dirt
fill extracted from the park site, the developer has agreed to donate to the
Park District $225 per lot to be used in the park site. This is over and
above requirements of the School/Park Donation Ordinance.
The Board determine t at the Village should not share in
the maintenance of the detention` ram .
Mr. Seaberg stated that the wet detention basin will provide
detention of the size and design required, but the skill with which it is
built provides the adequate protections. It was determined that the Village
staff has the expertise to insure the basin is constructed properly.
Christopher Carley, developer, stated that the lake will be
finished before any homes are completed.
It was noted that the preliminary plat has fewer lots than
the previously approved concept plan.
