Final Land Use and Zoning Plat for a
Part of the Condominium Phase of the
PUD Located at Village on the Lake
Gregory Snyder, Vice President for U.S. Home, presented a Final
Land Use and Zoning Plat for 11.6 acres of property located at the
northeast corner of Biesterfield and Leicester Roads. Snyder pointed
out that the Preliminary Land Use and Zoning Plat was approved by
the Plan Commission on July 21, 1980 and the Village Board on August 26,
1980. Both the Preliminary and Final Plat propose the construction of
four three-story buildings containing a total of 276 dwelling units.
Kenna asked Snyder to respond to the staff report which listed
several deficiencies in the Final Plat of Subdivision. Snyder stated
that the additional information requested by staff would be shown on
a revised plat that would be submitted prior to the next meeting of
the Village Board.
Snyder expressed concern about a Building Department recommendation
not to permit a temporary drive on Leicester Road which would provide
access to a modular sales office. Snyder remarked that the temporary
drive was very important and would be removed prior to the construction
of the second condominium building. The consensus of the Plan Commission
was that the temporary driveway shown on the Final Plat is appropriate
and should be permitted.
Snyder also expressed concern about a Fire Department report
which indicated that the name of the complex (Park Orleans) is in
conflict with an existing Village street called Orleans Court. Henrici
commented that the Fire Department would like to see the name of the
complex changed in order to avoid any potential conflict. Snyder
declared that the entire theme and architectural design of the project
is based on the New Orleans concept. Kenna noted that there would be
no streets in this complex and that all of the buildings would have
Leicaster and Biesterfield addresses. The consensus of the Plan
Commission was that U.S. Home should be permitted to retain the name
of Park Orleans as the name for their complex.
Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - September 3, 1980
Kenna read a letter from a member of the VOLHA Homeowners
Association recommending that the number of parking spaces in the
U.S. Home project be reduced. The consensus of the Plan Commission
was to reject this suggestion.
Cummins moved to recommend approval of the Final Land Use and
Zoning Plat, provided that it is revised to include the additional
information requested by staff. Mullen seconded the motion and all
present voted 'AYE' .
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
