Trammell Crow - Rezoning I-1 to I-2
(15.3 acre parcel located north of Mark
Street, west of Carl Street)
Chairman Glass summed up the variations that Trammell Crow had requested
at the last meeting. He stated that the Plan Commission wanted sidewalks to
be included. He noted that the Engineering staff had checked the width of
the cul-de-sac bulb and it met with the Village standards and no variation
was required. The Engineer also had noted that there was no need for alleys.
Trammell Crow had also requested a reduction in the 60 foot right=of-way
on the north-south cul-de-sac to 50 feet. The Plan Commission felt that it
should remain at 60 feet. The Plan Commission also agreed that the 15 foot
easement on the Wood Dale side including I0 feet of right-of-way was sufficient.
Chairman Glass asked if the cross easement drive could be designated
• a fire Zane. This designation would allow an ingress and egress to the cul-de-sac
street at 400 feet. with this requirement, the 650 foot long cul-de-sac would
meet with the spirit of the Village's standards. Chris McGrath said that
Trammell Crow would have no objection to the cross drive being a fire lane.

Congregate Housing
Michael Lerner reiterated the need for a text amendment to allow
congregate housing for senior citizens. He stated that the differences
from the existing requirements were the density, parking, open space,
• and amenity requirements.
Fred Geinosky requested that a representative from Huntington Square
point out the changes that have been made in the text amendment from
Huntington's original request. Jayne Matt stated that the open space require-
ment was now at 50%; .65 parking spaces would be required per dwelling unit;
the setback requirement would be 15 feet which would meet A-2 special use
requirements; and the density would be 50 bedrooms/acre and 30 dwelling units
per acre.
Michael Lerner stated that there was still a discrepancy in the age
requirement for senior citizens. He said that Huntington would prefer the
age to be 55, but could accept 60. Pat McHale requested that handicapped
persons of any age also be allowed. Chairman Glass stated that the housing
was designed for senior citizens but that the handicapped seniors should
not be excluded.
