Public Meeting : Progress Presentation of Charette Work John Torti, Torti Gallas & Associates, provided an overview of the process of the Charette and the progress made to this point. He explained that the small group sessions were very informative and that the community was passionate about Lake Zurich. He thanked all participants for the input and contributions. Based upon the information provided during the stakeholder and open sessions the design team presented two (2) design concepts for the master plan. Both plans encompass the area primarily west of Old Rand Road on the east, Route 22 bypass on the south, West Main street on the west and Breezewald Park to the north. The first design concept was focused on property that the Village owned, had control of, was for sale or had interested and cooperative land owners. This concept called for a mix of commercial, residential and office space and is the less dense option. The total number of new housing units proposed for this site was to be approximately 250 housing units. Discussion covered the various gateway zones, variety of uses, transportation hub, building heights, architectural standards and the ability to tie the various phases of development together. The second concept covered the entire downtown redevelopment area. The number of housing units proposed for this area was approximately 325. John Torti engaged the participants in active question and answers regarding the concepts during the evening. In summary, John Torti explained that this information would be used along with additional public comment to formulate a final design which will be presented on Friday, June 13, 2008. All in attendance were encouraged to attend the Friday meeting. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. Submitted by: Daniel A. Peterson, Director of Building & Zoning Approved: 6/23/08
