Gerry Harker said that Section 27 would be developed as the

said that a newer, updated version of the modified Hampton product
would be constructed on this parcel. This version of the Hampton
would have a greater roof pitch, a different elevation with more
brick, and an upgraded interior. The development will be called
Inverness Court and will conform strictly with the preliminary
plat. The plans include eleven buildings.

Weaver listed several minor staff comments.

the landscaping of this parcel. Approximately $1,800 per unit had
been put into the landscaping.

recommend approval of the plat of subdivision subject to staff
review and Clark Fulton seconded it. The vote for approval passed

• Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - April 16, 1986
Centex Section 23B, Resubdivision Bo. 5
Gerry Harker stated that this section is surrounded by Meacham
Road to the east, Plum Grove Road to the west, Windemere Subdivision
to the south and Hampton Farms to the north. This section consists
of 205 lots. Harker said that single family homes, similar in design
to Westgate homes would be constructed in Section 23B, Resubdivision
No. 5. The product line has been expanded to avoid monotonous design.
Harker stated that the lot sizes in Section 23B, Resubdivision
No. 5 will be larger than Westgate lots. The average lot size will
be 8,000 square feet. All setbacks will be 25 feet although only
20 feet is required.
John Glass inquired if Centex was not including the downsized
houses. Harker responded that the houses would be larger than
Westgate models but smaller than Stockbridge models. The home size
will be approximately 1900 - 2100 square feet. The homes will sell
for an average price of $157,500.
The Plan Commission requested Mr. Harker to address the staff
comments. Paul Ulatowski addressed the staff comments regarding the
alignment of Vine Street and Maine Drive. He said that these two
streets had never been designed to line up. Chairman Glass noted
that at this point in time he could not see the point of lining them
• up.
Harker stated that the "eyebrow" adds to the aesthetic quality
of a street and should remain. Plan Commission members agreed that
the eyebrow should remain. Chairman Glass requested that the Village
Engineer check on a' statement by Mr. Ulatowski that Centex has not
effectively changed the lot lines from the original plan. Fred
Geinosky asked when the construction would begin. Harker responded
that in August the construction will begin and be completed in about
two years.
Tom Rettenbacher raised a concern because Centex is doing
something different from the original agreement for R-3 special use.
Leah Cummins expressed concern about constructing larger homes on
small lots. She stated that this practice would produce a dreadful
effect because the scale is off.
Chairman Glass stated that the side yard will also be increased
and exceed the minimum. Harker also stated that the 25 foot setbacks
would be added to the plat and would be recorded. He said that
Centex would add 25 foot sideyard requirements for corner lots
along Baltimore Drive.
Following further discussion, Orrin Stangeland motioned to
recommend approval of the plat of resubdivision with requitement
Of 25 foot setbacks along Baltimore Drive and subject to staff
review. Leah Cummins seconded the motion.
The vote for approval passed unanimously.
