DOCKET 79-2 CEDAR CREST ANNEXATION & REZONING
Stangeland noted that the Village had received a telephone call from
Samuel LaSusa indicating that the petitioners wished to withdraw the Petition
to annex the ten-acre parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Meacham
Road and Biesterfield Road.
PLAT OF DEDICATION FOR STREETS IN SECTION 24
Stangeland announced that the Village had received a letter from a
representative of the Cook County Department of Highways stating that the
Department would like to see the Meacham Road right-of-way in Section 24
lined up with the right-of-way in Section 23A. The letter inidcated that
while the Department would prefer to see the land dedicated, it would also
be acceptable to designate the area as a "permanent easement to the public
for highway purposes".
Joseph Luciani, Director of Land Development for Centex Homes,
noted that the County requires only 100 ft. of dedicated right-of-way as
opposed to the Village which has been requiring 120 ft. Luciani referred to
the additional 20 feet as "surplus" right-of-way and stated that the area
would only serve to enlarge the parkway.
Luciani continued by remarking that the dedication of a right-of-
way with sufficient width to align Meacham Road would not diminish the ratio
of open space for the Section 24 development.
Luciani suggested that the developer would be willing to dedicate
23 feet of the 33 feet necessary to al-ign the right-of-way and then designate
the remaining 10 feet as an easement for highway purposes. He added that the
Village would need to provide some direction on how these adjustments would
affect the Land Use and Zoning Map which has already been recorded.
Glass questioned why these problems were not resolved prior to sub-
mitting the Plat to the Plan Commission. Luciani responded that the matter
had been discussed previously but that he did not see it as the developer's
responsibility to correct the problem since the jog continues on through
another village.
Stangeland directed staff to determine what effect the changes to
the Plat of Dedication would have on the previously recorded Land Use and
Zoning Map. Stangeland also asked staff to submit a recommendation on the
acceptability of the proposed 10=ft. easement for highway purposes.

Glass requested that the developer prepare a proposal for
buffering Yale Court from the Meacham Road right-of-way. Luciani
remarked that the proposal would probably utilize shrubbery and
a barrier curb.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
