Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council <br />Monday, December 3, 2018 <br />Page 6 <br />to me, but is it appropriate, is it in keeping with the Village and our bigger purpose in life? I just <br />had those concerns not knowing anything else. That's what I am wondering. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, let me address some of the questions you raised. First and foreinost, the unit <br />count has been consistent. It's been a 60-unit development on 16 acres. . 18 of those units would <br />be freestanding single-family homes. Up to 42 could be what would be called attached units. <br />Mrs. Doran stated, that could be a miscommunication from what I read. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, it could be. I just wanted to make sure it is clear for the record. Some of your <br />questions relate to the development of the plan and quite frankly the plan itself, even the plan <br />you see is a schematic plan. It still has to go through a process. Before I get to some of the other <br />amenities they are providing, once the zoning does change on the property, they still have to go <br />through a process where they would go to the Architectural Review Board. They would still go <br />to the Planning Commission. So there would still be other reviews that would take place wifli <br />the different departments. Building and Engineering would look at other issues that affect the <br />terrain, other issues that affect the environment, other issues that affect stortnwater management. <br />So that all still has to get done. <br />What the developer has done, they have presented a plan that's consistent with your Code, <br />Section 1159 which is the Planned Residential Development District. It is to provide for housing <br />options for people who live in the Village. When you look at other people, like Mr. Skoda, who <br />says he may like living there himself. Those are things that are being looked at as well. The <br />other amenities they have provided is a pool, a community room, a tennis court. A unique <br />element to this is a connection to the Greenway which can be very atlractive because it would <br />connect to the multi-purpose pathway for recreational amenities to enjoy the other public <br />infrastructure that the Village has really done a good job developing. It also provides a nice <br />connection to the Library. In a way, it is taking into account the lifestyle choices I think people <br />like to see and I think that those are amenities that are there. As this proceeds, follow along to <br />see that the developer can explain to you some of the other landscaping improvements in the <br />entranceway to the development that can be put in place. Those are all factors. I don't know if <br />that answers your question, but those are things that are required not only because of the Code <br />but also with the Development Agreement the developer has agreed to enter into. <br />Mrs. Doran stated, I wasn't sure where these thoughts would fit in. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, sure, good question. <br />Mrs. Doran stated, so I appreciate it. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, Mrs. Doran, just oile more tlung I wanted to mention was that the original <br />plan was a more compact plan and this is the second plan which includes a strip of land that runs <br />along 271 which the Village currently owns. The reason for inclusion of that in the new plan and <br />I will let Mr. Skoda explain this a little bit more, is so that the development could be a little bit <br />more spread out and there could be more greenspace in between the houses. Clu-is, if you want <br />to address that a little bit?
