Their first venture off of the west coast has been in Cary, and Hoffman Estates. These developments are Green Fields of Cary and Windom at Westbury in Hoffman Estates. Mr. Guggemos went on to state that they have recently acquired a portion of the Zale Development. He showed the Zale plan and which portion his company has acquired. The balance of the area has been acquired by the Hoffman Group. He is asking for approval of the plat for their model 1 areas tonight. Mr. Guggemos added that the access near Route 83 and Pauline Avenue has been acquired. Mr. Delaney stated that due to a clerical area none of the things listed in his memo of August 9 had been put on the plat itself. The developer stated that this would be done along with three suggestions of Commissioner Harris. He asked that the Plan Commission keep in mind that this plat has the same problem with regard to the 17' and 25' side and rear yards that the Highland Grove plat had. Mr. Guggemos showed a site plan and pointed out that his cul-de-sacs do not bow as much as those on the Highland Grove plat and therefore the line of sight will not be affected. The plan also showed how the homes would sit on the lot. A discussion followed concerning which model house should go on which lot. Mr. Guggemos stated that the houses could not be moved around much because of an existing sanitary sewer. Commissioner Harris stated that the land plan conforms to the annexation agreement but the houses do not fit on the lot. He also questioned the driveways fronting on Highland Grove Drive and an island near the inter= section of Highland Grove Drive and Pauline. Mr. Guggemos replied that it would be preferable to have the driveways fronting on the cul-de-sac but they would have to build a house 20' deep. In response to Commissioner Sheldon, Mr, Guggemos stated that they have 320 lots and will be building only on lots 5,6,7 and 8 now and reserving the rest for future models. Commissioner Capital stated that he thinks the same recommendations made for Hoffman would have to be consistent for this development also. Mr. Guggemos responded that his attorney advises him that if they abide by the annexation agreement they will receive approval from the Village. Right now the only question is what is the line of sight. Discussion followed regarding the definition of line of sight. Commissioner Shields moved to approve the Highland Pont Unit #1 Plat subject to making the changes shown in Mr. Delaney's memo of August 9. After discussion the motion was amended to make it subject to making a 25' setback on the cul-de-sacs. Commissioner Harris seconded the:.motion.
