In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Maas, Ms. Sorensen noted there would be no problem continuing communication with the developer relating to concerns that she has voiced. Mr. Lemoine addressed Ms. Sorensen's concerns and stated that his understanding is that the existing access to property will be closed off and that the easement will be removed; however, she will have the ability to connect onto her property through the new private road. Mr. Swift noted that the street Ms. Sorensen will utilize is the private road that branches off the public street and he provided an overview of the location of the new private road. Further, he stated that Ms. Sorensen will be provided a new easement over the portion of road where it intersects with the current easement. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Maas and Chairperson Roberts disclosed that they have met with the developer. Discussion ensued relating to street lighting and retaining the rural nature of the area, ways in which to ensure dedication of the Lemoine property, and a possible timeline for dedication of the one-acre parcel of land. Mr. Plucker noted that the current conditions require the one-acre to be dedicated in conjunction with the approval of the Tentative Map; however, if the applicant is amenable, there could be specific findings made in conjunction with approval of this PUD application that one-acre should be considered ,for a future amenity to satisfy a future PUD development plan type of approval. Commissioner Maas noted that as part of the same condition as a compromise that the Park District and the applicant work out some type of time frame for dedication of the one acre. There is considerable discussion relating to utilizing the one-acre donation as a future amenity credit. PUBLIC HEARING WAS REOPENED Mr. Lemoine readdressed the Commission and noted that if he understands correctly, he would not have a problem with the one-acre being a future amenity. However, he reiterated that he desired to build three homes for his children and an additional three units on the property. Further, he noted that if the City provided assurance that the remaining acreage can be utilized to build those units, he would be willing to reach a compromise at this time. He noted that his concern is that he would donate that acreage and the City would decide building cannot be performed. Further, he stated that he would be willing to donate more land than the one-acre and that he views the donation of the land as an amenity. He noted that even with the additional units, the property is still below the number of units provided by annexation. Chairperson Roberts noted that the City cannot provide any guarantees. Commissioner Maas stated she would desire that Mr. Lemoine work with the Park District to reach a compromise on a timeframe for dedication of the acreage. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Lemoine stated that the one-acre dedication is based on developing the other lots sometime EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, September 8, 1999 Page 3 of 6
