The petitioners were requesting that the Village revise the approved 1973 site plan for Parcel D of the Planned Unit Development at the Village on the Lake. The approved 1973 site plan provided for three five-story buildings with 282 units. The petitioners were requesting the revision in order to construct four three-story buildings with 276 units. The property consists of approximately 11.6 acres of land located at the northeast corner of Biesterfield and Leicaster Roads. Kenna began by asking the Village Attorney to address the question of separate homeowners associations. Samelson answered by stating that separate homeowners associations would be responsible for their own areas of concern. He declared that the ordinance allows more than one ownership association as long as the parcel develops in accordance with the Plan. Samelson concluded by saying that the Commission should not involve itself with private property rights. Glass questioned if the proposed change from the original concept would protect new and existing residents in such matters as the sharing I Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - July 21, 1980 Docket 80-4 (continued) of a common driveway. Samelson responded that protection is given through the common homeowners associations. He asserted that certain areas are beyond the parameters of government and that private property interests should be settled by private property owners. Marshall Dickler, representing the VOLHA Homeowners Association, objected to the Plan submitted by U.S. Home. He remarked that should the Plan Commission approve the Plans, VOLHA had certain requests as follows: - There should be unitary control through one homeowners association•. - The exterior brick should match the color of the VOLHA buildings. - The balconies should be enclosed to complement the design of the VOLHA buildings. - Additional driveways into the complex should be provided. - There should be additional entrances into the underground parking lots of each building. - The Homeowners Association should be named "Village on the Lake Phase 2". Bragiel responded negatively to all of the requests by VOLHA. Dickler asserted that U.S. Home does not have the authority to petition a change to the P.U.D. because they do not own all of Parcel D. Dickler expressed the opinion that all of the VOLHA homeowners would need to join in a petition for any change to the site plan. Samelson replied that the petition by U.S. Home appeared to be in order, but that the Plan Commission should not be expected to render a decision concerning ownership disputes. Paliganoff expressed the opinion that the design and structure of the condominiums in the U.S. Home proposal do not need to be exactly the same as VOLHA's buildings. Stangeland asked if U.S. Home would be building a fence along their east property line. Snyder replied that there would be no fencing. Glass questioned whether or not it would be advisable for VOLHA and U.S. Home to have separate driveway entrances onto Westerfield Road. Snyder replied that the County would not permit the two curb cuts that would be required for separate driveways. Cummins noted that the underground parking is a positive feature of the Plan, but she stated that there is�not .an adequate number of parking spaces for guests. Cummins also inquired about the price range of the proposed units. Snyder replied that the range would be approximately $40,000.00 for the studios and $80,000.00 for the three-bedroom units. Kenna stated that he believes there is an adequate number of parking spaces for the existing condominium buildings. Stangeland moved to recommend approval of the petition of U.S. Home subject to: (1) U.S. Home submitting an acceptable landscaping plan as part of the requirements for the Final Land Use and Zoning Plat, and (2) confirmation from the Building Commissioner that the Preliminary Plat contains the information required by the Zoning • Plan Commission Minutes - 3 - July 21, 1980 Docket 80-4 (continued) Ordinance.
