MOTION CARRIED PUBLIC COMMENT - None PUBLIC MEETING: A. 80 Genesee Street (Block G) – Canterbury Estates – Final Plan (PZC 2019-17) Final Plan for the development of the approximately 3.3-acre assemblage of parcels owned by Mr. Gregory Schwermer for 38 new townhomes within 9 buildings to be built by Ryan Homes. The assemblage also includes a 0.37-acre parcel owned by the village which is being requested to be conveyed to the developer. Applicants: Ryan Homes Mr. Scott Sheldon, Ryan Homes, presented their petition for final plan approval of a planned unit development for the Canterbury Estates townhouse subdivision to be located at 80 Gen- esee Street (Block G). Staff Report states that the applicant was granted development con- cept plan (preliminary plan) approval for the development on April 15, 2019 and lists all the approvals granted and staff conditions per Ordinance No. 2019-04-309. Since the approval, the applicant added on-site detention, reduced the building count from 10 to 9, and reduced the number of townhouse units from 40 to 38. The application has received an NFR (No Further Remediation) letter from IEPA. Due to the modifications to the Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes, August 21, 2019 2 proposal from the approved development concept plan, the PZC is being asked to review the revisions and consider if the changes conform and comply with the approved plan and if they provide improvements. Chairman Stratman asked for clarification on the elevations that Mr. Sheldon provided. Mr. Sheldon said there will not be basements—it will be slab on grade, and all units will have a 2-car garage. Director Saher said the petitioner was providing an overview, and the final details on the actual units will be provided at the time of permit review, and all final exhibits will be included at the final approval and included in the development agreement. Mr. Shel- don described the barrier provided from the railroad tracks. Mr. Schwermer stated there will be a 5-foot fence by the tracks and heavy landscaping, which will provide a barrier. Commissioner Muir said he would like additional views showing the entire project and how it sits on the site. Commissioner Castillo felt the proposal presented this evening was incom- plete and left many questions unanswered. Commissioner Giannini wanted to see the land- scape plan showing the full site plan. Mr. Sheldon said he would work with staff to finalize the proposal and provide good visuals as requested by the PZC, but the 3D rendering for the entire site could be difficult. Director Saher said the PZC was asked to review the engineer- ing and particularization of the plan that had been previously approved and to decide if the plan was basically in conformity with the previous plan. He said the petitioner could prepare a view showing the buildings on the site which should satisfy the concerns raised this even- ing. MOTION was made by Commissioner Baumann, seconded by Commissioner Riley, 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 and approve the Final Plan for Canterbury Estates at 80 Genesee Street with the following conditions clarified prior to presentation to the Board of Trustees for approval: Delineation of the fence along the property line at the railroad tracks, more accurate floor plans depicting how the units will be configured with the optional rec-room that show the rec-room will not replace the garage and will show all units will have a two-car garage, more fully developed renderings of the development show- ing housing spacing, and plans indicating homes will be constructed on slab on grade with- out basements.

Detailed information is contained within the accompanying staff report and all exhibits submitted by the applicant.

The room will only extend 2.17 feet past the encroachment of the garage and will have minimum impact on the street. Ms. Vottero stated the proposed location is the only possible location for the room due to the layout of the interior of the home, and this location will maximize views of the lake.
