a a t~ Village Hall Parking Lot - Mr. Buses asked Council and the Administra- tion to review this situation ~.or paving. Approximately $42,000 needed to complete work. Heinen's Site Plan - Mr. Avery summarized the facts pertaining to Heinen's request for Site Plan Amendment. (1) .The Planning Commission approved a site plan with one driveway on- to Aintree Park Drive and a-"trucks only" driveway across the church easement to Wilson Mills. (2) The Church filed suit to attempt to have the easement cancelled, a suit which we do not believe has great merit. (3) The Village Council exercised its prerogative in affirming the de- cision of the Planning Commission and the municipality has since then assumed that Heinen's and the Church'would somehow work out their differ- ences. (4) Heinen's has not wanted to actively fight the Church because of the public relations detriment. (5) A survey of the Aintree Park Homeowner's Association indicates that approximately half of those surveyed favor the development of the land by Heinen's and those who oppose such development generally want no devel- opment whatsoever, which we all know is an impossibility. (6) Because of the arrangement under which H~inen's bought the land, if they do not begin construction or sell it by the beginning of May, the previous owners may buy it back for a predetermined price grossly below current market. (7) Heinen's cannot therefore take the chance of westing for the dispo- sition of the church lawsuit and does not want to run the economic risk attendant upon beginning construction and possibly losing the church law- suit so that all construction would have to stop while the driveway sit- uation was again reviewed by our administrative and legislative bodies. (8) The Church.has agreed to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice if the solution set forth herein comes to pass. (9 ). Heinen's agrees to assist in any way, including setti~ig up a Heinen's Citizens - Village Commission, in solving problems that arise out of the development if there are two driveways on Aintree Park Drive, particu- larly the problem of using the Derby Drive-Raleigh Drive shortcut back to Wilson Mills. (10) Heinen's has therefore asked the Council to amend the site plan to eliminate the dxive to Wilson Mills and allow the second cut on Ain- tree Park Drive. ' Mr. Grogan, seconded by Mr. Flynn, made a motion to reconsider Heinen's Site Plan. Mr. Bordonaro,asked how does this affect the variance. Mr:. Avery re- plied it does not affect it. Roll Call: AYES: Messrs., Bennett, Bordonaro, Buses, Flynn, Grogan and Mrs. Hanus NAYS: None
