He then swore in Messrs. Nelson, Piggott and Ash The exhibits were those contained Mr. Pfeil's October 7, 1988 memo to the Plan Commission titled Archdiocese Property and Petitioner's Exhibits 1 through 4. Commissioner Rubin stated that he will not participate or vote on this item due to a possible conflict of interest. Mr. Ash introduced himself and reviewed the location and zoning of the property. With the aid of the aerial map Mr. Nelson reviewed the location and surrounding zoning. The site is located north on Dundee Road before Weidner and Golfview Terrace. It is 49 acres. He reviewed the roads that service the site. With the aid of the site analysis he described the topography. One third of the site drains northwest and there are two natural drainage sheds to the south. Ponding has been created by the surrounding development which has caused a wetland effect on the site. He reviewed the site plan. They are now proposing the extension of Hawthorn Road a full access at Dundee Road, a connection west to Hapsfield, and a connection to Bradley Place. The water detention areas were relocated to the southwest of Hapsfield in the corner of the property. The north portion of the detention would be wet and the south would be active open space. The small detention which remains at the southeast corner will be dry. Mr. Piggott stated they will be building a single family homes of 3 bedrooms having 2100 square feet and 4 bedrooms of 2700 square feet. They will sell from $200,000 to $230,000. He reviewed the variations as stated in the notice. The rear yard variation would effect approximately 15 lots. The granting of this variation will not increase the water run off to the properties on either side of the site. They will install the bike path along Dundee Road. They are in agreement with Mr. Rylko's October 12th letter to Mr. Pfeil regarding this site but would like to discuss Item 8. This memo was passed out to the Commission at the meeting. Ashton Lane will be aligned with the entrance to the park. They have not talked to the school district but are willing to comply with the school donation. They feel this project would generate about 200 children. There are a number of trees on the site that will be moved and a number that will not be moved. They will work with the Village Forester on this. The island will be landscaped. Build out should be in 2 years. Mr. Pfeil stated that it has been the practice of the Village to take over detention areas in single family developments. Mr. Kuenkler stated the developer will need the variations requested to meet the Army Corps of Engineers requirements. Mr. Sabes pointed out a pond area near his home. Mr. & Mrs. Gunther, Messrs Risco, Rochea, Heister, and Ms. Nelson and Ms. Zavorski were all concerned with flooding. It was noted that there are no sewers on Thornwood and the street floods, the Archdiocese site is considerably higher than the surrounding property and the owners of adjoining property's land slopes toward their homes. Mr. Smuchkler, attorney for Mrs. Perell of 390 Stillwell, reviewed the testimony of the developer stating his client was concerned with flooding, parking and traffic. Mr. Carlson requested the Commission consider a traffic light at Ashton and Dundee Road. Mr. Halletic was concerned with the traffic.
