MOTION CARRIED PUBLIC COMMENT Rob and Silkie Padula, 170 N. Old Rand Road, live near Sunset Pavillon and had questions about the hours for entertainment and the location of speakers. He thought six nights a week was exces- sive and there should be limitations for entertainment since they already have noise from the park. Steve Kipperman, 134 Beech Street, had concerns about the proposed development at 1181 Centoni Drive. He noted the sloping of the property and drainage patterns and was concerned the development could exacerbate existing drainage problems. He thought that two homes on the lot would be too dense and would not blend in with the surrounding properties that have larger lots. Scott Pappas, 1161 Centoni, felt the proposal was too dense and noted that his property as well as the surrounding homes had 150-foot frontage. He had questions about the zoning which were an- swered by Director Saher who clarified that R5 zoning allows 75-foot frontage, which is what Mr. Steffens proposes. The proposal also complies with setback requirements. Mr. Pappas said he shared Mr. Kipperman’s concerns about drainage. Mark Nantkin, 116 Beech Street, lives near Mr. Kipperman. He shared his concerns about drain- age and asked if the wooded portion of the subject property would remain as is. PUBLIC MEETING: A. 1181 Centoni Drive – Steffens Subdivision – Plat of Subdivision (PZC 2019-15) Public Meeting to consider a Plat of Subdivision for a new 2-lot residential subdivision to be known as the Steffens Subdivision. Detailed information is contained within the accom- panying staff report and exhibits submitted by the applicant. Applicant: Dale Steffens Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes, July 17, 2019 2 Tim Spies, project engineer, presented their proposal to create a new subdivision consist- ing of two single-family residences. The lots will be reconfigured into two 21,000 square foot lots. Lot 1 will have a drainage on the west side of the property, and Lot 2 will have a drainage easement along the west side of the property. He addressed the drainage patterns and stated improvements are proposed (easements and curb and gutters) which should im- prove drainage by directing water toward the Beech Street storm sewer. The existing im- pervious surface in now 3,824 square feet or less than 10%. The proposed impervious cov- erage will 5,160 square feet or more than 10% which is an increase. The sanitary sewer will be increased by 50 feet. His client has agreed to clear the deadwood in the rear wooded area per staff recommendation. Commissioner Schultz said she lives on Beech Drive and has experienced flooding. She noted concerns in the Engineering Report and would like to be assured that this proposal will not add to the existing flooding and drainage problems. She also objected to the den- sity of the subdivision and does not think it is consistent with the surrounding homes and would prefer to see one home instead of two. She asked that the debris be cleaned and the area maintained. Past flooding and remedies provided were discussed. Director Saher addressed the 2013 flooding event and noted the flooding was a regional problem and improvements have been made. Staff continues to monitor the drainage in the area. If the Village Engineer makes additional recommendations, approval will be conditioned upon meeting the engi- neering requirements as well as the cleanup in the rear of the property. MOTION was made by Commissioner Baumann, seconded by Commissioner Muir, to re- ceive into the public record the staff review of compliance of this Application for Final Plan with the zoning standards as presented by staff this evening, and to make these standards a part of the official record for the Application.
