Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council <br />Monday, December 3, 2018 <br />Page 13 <br />Nancy Gasper <br />6449 Highland Road <br />I will be the neighbor directly across the street from your suggested building. I have to agree <br />with the young lady that first spoke about the environment. We are the home of the deer <br />crossing. We have been here over 40 years. You are already discussing about how this will be <br />before we even get to decide is it going to be good for the Village? I have to say no. It looks <br />very congested. Are you going to have two-story condos? <br />Council President Saponaro stated, Mrs. Gasper, a couple of things. All we are deciding on in <br />this Public Hearing is if we put this on the ballot for all of the Village to vote on it. There's been <br />no decisions made other than that. Just to be clear. Number two, these are two types of <br />buildings. They are single family and there's cluster homes which are up and down. The whole <br />point, I think Mr. Skoda had said before, or maybe the Mayor did, they did these cluster homes <br />so that we would have a smaller footprint to allow more greenspace. They are going to be up <br />and down homes as well as single-family homes which are a11 one floor. <br />Mrs. Gasper stated, so I would be concerned about the landscaping then if there's a second floor. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, to elaborate on Council President's response, keep in mind that this is a <br />preliminaxy site plan number one, and number two, the final site plan, the landscape plan, even <br />the architectural design of the units, that still has to be reviewed by the Boards and Commissions <br />of the Village. This is really so you can get a sense of whether this complies with the Planned <br />Residential Development District. It's in the Code under Section 1159 if you want to look at it <br />further. <br />Mrs. Gasper asked, is all that going to be determined before you put the zoning issue on the <br />Spring ballot? Will it be clear to the voters? Will it be worded so they know what everyone's <br />talking about? <br />Mr. Coyne replied, that's the specific section of the Code that it would be under. That's number <br />one. The one additional protection that's being included is a Development Agreement, so there <br />would be some additional requirements to make sure that the number of units aren't going to be <br />exceeded, to make sure that there's a connection to the Greenway, to make sure that there's <br />buffering, to make sure that the units aren't too close together, to make sure the drainage and the <br />engineering is properly addressed. There are other inclusions to make sure the development <br />would be as green as possible and would comply with other requirements that the Architectural <br />Review Board may put on it, that the Planning and Zoning Corrunission may put on the <br />development as well. <br />Mrs. Gasper stated, it just doesn't sound too good to me. I'in sorry. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, you didn't answer whether it would be before they would vote on it or <br />after they vote on it. <br />Mr. Coyne replied, the provisions in 1159 would have to be followed.
