The Attorney noted the Village Board's concern over Homeowners Associations:' failures as a viable means of open space responsibility and maintenance. Additionally, the Village Board felt that the Park District Board should be consulted in an early stage, particularly for P.U.D. 's in which the Park District would be given ownership of the open space. The consensus was further in favor of public ownership of all streets , built to Village specifications. Also, an R-5 designation should be developed providing for zero lot line as a district , with zero lot line possibly as a special use in other designations. Early provision for open space maintenance was another concern of the Village Board mentioned by the Attorney, with early commitment by the Park District for areas they would be taking control of and responsibility for. McGrenera stated that through discussions and meetings he had with members of the JPZ Committee, other Village Board members and the Park District, he felt there was an agreement with the P.U.D. and common open space concept , but there was a concern over anything additional in costs , maintenance, etc. Hauser stated that the Park District had no set criteria for open space areas that could be absolutely specified , but rather the District must see each concrete proposal . Hamilton stated that a new R-5 or revised R-4 designation was needed, calling for publicly owned common open space, either by the Village, Park District, or a combination of the two. The suggestion was made that Centex submit a plan to the Plan Commission for preliminary review, and then it would be forwarded to the Park District for review and approval , and thence return to the Plan Commission for review and possible acceptance for development. This plan would have specifics on amount of open space and characteristics of open space. The Attorney noted that the overall plan would be for open space, not specifics such as housing type, etc. The Consultant suggested that "spiney" greenways be forgotten in favor of larger, centrally located, easily maintained open space. The Attorney noted that he would attempt to attend Village Board and Plan Commission meetings, since there was no official liaison between the boards. The meeting adjourned at 10: 10 p.m. S bmitted by, Josey Misur Ii Administrative Intern JM:ms (September 10, 1975)
