Discussion: Commissioner Goldspiel noted this is a very crucial part of the bike path system in the Village. He did not approve of allowing the bike path and a sewer easement in a back yard. This is not good planning. He felt the site should be developed as a single lot or smaller homes that would allow greater space for the bike path. He was opposed to this site. The bike path should be dedicated instead of an easement. This plan was presented to the village staff today and they did not have time to review it. He did not want to take action on this because of lack of staff review. Mr. Schwartz stated this plan is in response to staff comments. Mr. Pfeil noted that only Mr. Kuenkler and himself have reviewed this plan and he was not sure that anyone else needed to see it.

Chairman Sheldon noted that a revised plan was given to the Commission this evening. Mr. Raysa stated this is not a substantial change to the plan and it could be heard this evening. Mr. Schwartz noted the site is currently owned by District #96. They were informed that there was a sewer approximately 18' in and they added an easement of 30' on the south side of the property. They are indicating a 49' easement for the sewer. They have proposed a 15' easement for each of the 2 bike paths. This will have 15' on one side of the site and 49' sewer easement on the other. They have indicated 2 homes on the site. Each lot is in excess of the 11,000 square foot. Mr.Pfeil noted there is a concern about the rear yard on Lot 1 that many need a 2' variation of the rear yard setback. Mr. Schwartz noted there is a 2' encroachment on the back yard according to the ordinance. He explained how they set their home on that lot. The homes are 2,400 square feet and 2,600 square feet costing approximately $180,000. The bike path would be on an easement and within 1' to 2' of the home. Commissioner Goldspiel was concerned with breaking up the green corridor, this site is the entrance to it. He cannot see approving a subdivision where someone's entire back yard is in a sewer easement.

Mr. Schwartz stated they are willing to do whatever the Village requires regarding the flooding situation. Mr. Burry thanked the Village for being invited to speak but was concerned with the development lowering property values and blocking the view with a fence. Mr. Raysa noted that if this fence meets the code it will not go to any other board for a variation hearing. Chairman Sheldon closed the public hearing at 8:57 P.M.
