Krogstad, Pugsley&La Haie, Ltd. Chairman Glass called the meeting to order at 8:05 p.m. Chairman Glass read one letter into the record(attached),and asked the petitioner to review the changes made to their proposal. K. Krogstad explained the landscaping revisions. Per the direction of the Plan Commission, the number brick piers for the screening fence along the western and northern boundaries of the property were increased so one would be located every 50 feet on center instead of every 100 feet as initially proposed. Because of the availability of additional space between units 60-65 and the expressway, additional landscaping was added to improve the screening for these units. S. Winnike explained an engineering modification was made so the storm sewer would not discharge to an open channel,and submitted volume calculations for the as built for the central basin. Chairman Glass noted that Village staff had submitted an opinion on the additional parking provided for in the revised plans, and asked for comment. S. Trudan stated that the revised plans showed additional off-street parking which impacts the amount of greenspace provided. Given the property's proximity to the expressway and the necessary berming and landscaping,preservation of greenspace is an important consideration. The Zoning Ordinance requires two spaces per unit, and the preliminary plans showed approximately four spaces per unit. Trudan stated that landbanking the additional off-street parking might be considered until a determination is made on the parking demand. Commissioner Meyers stated that storage is a problem for the style of home being proposed,which will result in garage space being used for storage instead of parking. Meyers stated it is common to see garages filled with items throughout the Village eliminating their use for parking. Meyers affirmed his desire for the additional spaces as proposed and felt they would have no negative impact on the aesthetics of the development. Chairman Glass stated he agreed with Commissioner Meyers and explained that two spaces is a minimum standard. The lack of long streets in the development and makes a lack of parking a reasonable concern. Commissioner Ayers stated 50 or 60 additional parking spaces were required in the Huntington Chase development and these spaces are regularly used. Secretary Gemosky stated that landbanking the additional off-street parking could be considered by the Plan Commission. Commissioner Ayers stated that landbanking would add an additional burden on the homeowners association and that the spaces would be used if made available. Commissioner Thompson agreed that the additional off-street parking in the Huntington Chase development is used and that additional parking would be needed for the proposed development as well. Commissioner Ayers asked if the petitioner had agreed to install an 8-foot tall board on board fence to screen the western and northern boundaries of the subject property. Krogstad affirmed that an 8-foot board on board fence is shown in the revised plans. There being no further questions, Secretary Gemosky moved to recommend approval to rezone the property from the O/T Office-Transitional to the A-2 Multi-Family Residential district with a Planned Development Special Use, a variation to reduce the minimum right-of-way width to 50-feet, and a variation to reduce the required open space from 50%to 49.77% of the site area,with the following conditions: • That Letters of Awareness be provided to each potential home buyer advising them of the proximity of the expressway and the fact that no sound barrier walls will be built to serve the subject property; • That permanent access to the Village well site be provided to the satisfaction of the Village; • That soundproofed windows and insulation be installed in all end units siding the expressway as approved by the Village; • That additional soundproofing be included in the exteriors of units 60-65 as approved by the Village; • That screening be provided along the west and north boundaries in the form of an 8-foot tall board- on-board fence with brick piers every 50 feet on center atop a berm excluding the conservation areas as depicted in the Landscape Plan; • That screening be provided at the ends of the motor courts in the form of a 4-foot tall board on board fence as depicted in the Landscape Plan; • That the homeowners association created for the development assume a proportional share of the costs of maintaining the Park Boulevard median with the Talbot's Mill Homeowners Association; and • That the recommendation be based on the P.U.D. plan revised 12/3/99, the Engineering plan revised 12/6/99, and the Landscape Plan revised 12/3/99, all subject to staff approval.
