Moes stated this property is currently a condominium plat and in today’s market the banks do not like to give out loans on this type of property unless a substantial amount of money is put on a down payment. J. Moes stated this property was rezoned to two-family and owners are going to convert to single-family attached dwellings. J. Moes stated that it would be staff’s recommendation to the Commission to recommend to the Village Board approval of the final Plat Map. President Fischer questioned J. Moes if there was a downside to converting said property. J. Moes stated that there isn’t a downside as it would be separated as duplexes instead of condos and the owners would own their separate lot. Commissioner Mahlik questioned if property taxes would be higher. J. Moes stated that Twindo, or zero lot line properties, and Condo properties sell for about the same money, based on value. Commissioner Verstegen questioned how the Village would handle utilities when going from a two-family to a single-family. J. Moes stated that there is one set of laterals for each building and it is recorded on their plat an agreement to sharing, maintaining, and replacing lateral. J. Moes stated that if the lateral plugs up for any reason owners on each side would be responsible for fixing the lateral and if owners disagree it would go to arbitration and not to the Village Board. Commissioner Peerenboom questioned if the landscaping that is shown on the plat is on the Village’s utility easement and if it is, would it be the Village’s responsibility if repairs or replacement of the landscaping was necessary if the Village had to dig it up to work on the utilities. J. Moes stated it would not be the Village’s responsibility to replace the landscaping. Moved by Commissioner Peerenboom, seconded by Commissioner Van Berkel to approve recommendation of the Kelly Street Subdivision Preliminary Plat Map to the Village Board.
