Glenn Richmond continued by stating that many of the staff comments have already been incorporated into the plat and that all other comments will be complied with. Glenn Richmond then reviewed all outstanding staff comments from the Building, Engineering, Fire and Public Works Departments . The discussion was then opened up to the Plan Commission for questions. Chairman Glass asked how the Homeowner's Associations would be set up. Larry Johannesen stated that three Homeowner Associations would be established by product type. The three associations would be: Level One: Most expensive townhomes who have fee simple ownership of land. Level Two: Country Homes which are condominiums. Level Three: Loft Home condominiums. Members questioned who would maintain the development. Larry Johannesen stated that the homeowner's associations would provide for the maintenance of the development. Dave Paliganoff asked whether a fourth association concerning the single family lot owners would be established. Johannesen stated that an association for only 23 single family homes would not be necessary. Members then questioned whether single family homeowners could be precluded from using the amenities of the development such as the parklands and wetlands. Johannesen indicated that this could happen, however, it was not seen as an eminent problem. Chairman Glass asked the Village Engineer and Building Commissioner if all their comments had been addressed. Both stated that all comments have been discussed with Kimball Hill . Grossberg believes that driveways are included in the definition of common open space due to the fact that driveways are not listed as one of the exclusions to common open space. Tom Rettenbacher stated that it has been the practice of Elk Grove Village to exclude driveways from the definition of common open space. Chairman Glass asked Larry Johannesen if driveways were excluded from their calculations of common space. Johannesen stated that driveways were included in the open space calculations. I Johannesen remarked that the development just met the 50% open space requirement by including the access drives. Johannesen added that Kimball Hill would not be able to meet Village requirements for open space if the definition of common open space were interpreted to exclude access drives from open space calculations. Kevin Henderson of Trammell Crow stated that there was a possibility that Trammell Crow could donate their wetland area to Kimball Hill to be included as open space. The Building Commissioner did not object to the suggestion, however, he indicated that the Village Attorney would need to look into the legal method of conveying the subject property. A recess was taken at 9:25 p.m. The meeting resumed at 9:30 p.m. 0 • Chairman Glass reiterated that the definition of common space was a legal issue and must be resolved. The Plan Commission asked if Tom Cech's comment concerning the right-of-way for Park Boulevard at the north end of the development near Martha Street had been addressed.
