2. Questions from the Audience
Poppin Fresh Pies
Jim Herbst of Poppin Fresh Pies stated that the plat of subdivision for their
property, located at the southeast corner of Dundee Road and Ellen Drive, was
approved subject to nine items for engineering approval . Eight of the items
have been complied with, and he asked that the remaining one be deleted. He
said that item #8 (parking lot should be indicated as a "storm detention ease-
ment" on the plat of subdivision) creates a cloud on the title making it
impossible to finance the development through their normal means. He said that
they will maintain the parking lot as a drainage area, that engineering plans
call for it and it will be built according to plans. He said that any changes
would have to have Village Board approval .
Trustee Driscoll arrived during Mr. Herbst 's request.
George Anderson, engineer of the project, stated that their plans meet Village
regulations with adequate storm water detention as outlined in Village Code,
and that the plan has been approved by the Metropolitan Sanitary District with
the stipulation of retention.
President Fabish stated that one of the reqsons for wanting retention indicated
on the plat of subdivision was to insure the requirement be on public record
for future reference. Mr. Anderson stated that if a change is to be made,
approval of the Village and the M.S. D. is required. Mr. Herbst stated that
they would provide a final survey and final agreement that the project is built
