that all lots meet the R-5 requirements , a letter from the U. S . Post

Bell Telephone Co . , copies of these documents attached hereto .
Mr . Moskal stated there are tentative plans to build a school
on a portion of the 12 . 5 acres set aside for a park area.
Commissioners examined the plat plan and questioned Mr . Moskal
as to provisions for water retention, It was noted that 10 inch
storm sewers were being installed and while regulations do not state
any size criteria, it was suggested that 12 inch sewers be used to
allow additional capacity . Location of catch basins in the street
was also discussed. Inasmuch as these recommendations are beyond
what is required by Regulations , it was decided that several motions
were necessary .
A motion was made by Mr . Guidotti that Plan Commission recommends
the Village Board approve the final plat plans of Mill Creek, Unit 3 ,
subject to engineering approval . Motion seconded by Mr. Berth and
carried unanimously on roll call vote of 7-0 .
Motion made by Mr . Yost that Plan Commission recommends the
engineering plans of Mill Creek, Unit 3 be reviewed in accordance
with existing subdivision regulations in addition to proposed changes
in regulations , presently under study by the Plan Commission, copies
of which are attached hereto and made a part of these minutes .
Motion seconded by Mr . Gamm and carried unanimously on roll call vote
of 7-0 .
A motion was made by Mr . Genrich that the Plan Commission urges
the Village Board to take the necessary steps to insure that the
Village Engineer studies water retention needs relative to flooding
in this area and that adequate provisions be made for water retention
facilities prior to the time that the Village Board dedicates this
property to the school board and the park district . Motion seconded
by Mr . Berth and carried unanimously on roll call vote of 7-0 . In
the discussion that followed the motion, Mr . Moskal indicated a
2 acre retention facility would be adequate .
Commissioners were then asked to consider a request from The
Hattis Associates , Inc . , regarding Strathmore Unit 13 , that Dover Dr .
be dropped as a street name , and that the existing N-S streets of
Aspen and Clohesey be extended to the Penny Lane Intersection. The
situation is such that adjacent houses are on different streets , one
with N-S addresses , the other with E-W addresses . This situation
was fully discussed in a workshop session at the time of plat approval ,
and Plan Commission recommends no change .
