Sworn in Petitioner: Michael Xu and Josh Terpstra with Hager Engineering
Mr. Terpstra explains that he is the Civil Engineer and Land Surveyor for the
project. Mr. Xu is the owner of the parcel. Mr. Xu is requesting to be annexed
into the Village of Palatine and to sub-divide the parcel into four lots. The
property will be zoned R-1 when annexed and the goal is to rezone to R-2 zoning
district as part of the final subdivision process. The four lots are on the west side
of North Haven Dr., utilities and driveway access would be provided through the
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 1
Minutes Plan Commission April 5, 2022
North Haven Dr. right of way. Each proposed lot has a driveway and each
driveway would connect to North Haven Drive. North Haven drive right of way
contains existing water and sanitary lines and the proposed lots would connect to
the existing lines. He also discusses storm water management and states that
the site is located in Cook County and is subject to the MWRD requirements and
to the Village of Palatine requirements for storm water. A storm water
management detention basin has been proposed at the SW corner of the
development in the rear yard of lots one and two. The basin is designed to meet
Palatine and MWRD requirements. He explains that the discharge would be
through a storm pipe that connects to an existing sewer. He states that Mr. Xu is
aware that permits from other relevant agencies such as IDOT, MWRD that
would be required and subject to The Village of Palatine final engineering review.
The plans have been designed to meet and conform to zoning codes of those
agencies.
Mr. Friedman, referring to the Utilities Map, asks if there is any impact to the
remaining parcels north of the development. He would like to clarify that there is
nothing about the potential development of the remaining property that would
influence the engineering or design of tonight’s subject property and that they
would remain separate solutions.
Ms. Bremanis states that the Planned Development was previously approved.
Engineering looked at the neighboring properties and had no concerns. The
properties have been sub-divided and zoned planned development for single
family residential.
Mr. Fedota refers to the Future Land Use map and asks if the Planned
Development space has been annexed into the Village.
Ms. Bremanis states it is annexed into the village.
Ms. Bremanis presents the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and
states that it shows the area being called out for single family residential. She
also presents the Plat of Survey and states all items in red have been
demolished and there is one house and small walkway remaining. The Proposed
Site plan shows that once the lots are divided and zoned R-2 they will meet or
exceed all of the R-2 requirements. She provides a brief overlook of the existing
conditions.
Resident - Pamela Wilkinson of 770 W Misty Dr is sworn in and states her
concern regarding storm sewer, grading and water flowage.
Mr. Terpstra addresses the concern and refers to the Grading and Drainage
Plans. He states that the elevation at the lot line to the west of the property is at
elevation 790 and is proposing to cut down the slope to install the pond. The
detention basin is down to 782 and this should solve any run off issues. They will
now be 8’ higher than the bottom of the detention basin and all runoff should go
to the pond from the backyards.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The annexation and preliminary plat subdivision is consistent with the
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 2
Minutes Plan Commission April 5, 2022
Comprehensive Plan and existing subdivision to the east. The application and
submitted plans indicate the intention of ultimately rezoning the property to R-2
through the Final Subdivision process. The proposed lots would exceed the
minimum required R-2 bulk and comply with all of the setback requirements and
minimum required lot depth per the Subdivision Ordinance. Ms. Bremanis noted
that a condition of to require cash in lieu of detention has been removed because
detention has been provided. The proposed subdivision is also consistent with
Marks Landing Subdivision (directly east). Therefore, Staff recommends approval
of the proposed request, subject to the following conditions:
1. The development shall substantially conform to the engineering plans prepared
by Haeger Engineering dated 7/26/21 last revised 12/22/21 and attached hereto
as Exhibit ‘A’ except as such plans may be revised to conform to Village Codes
and Ordinances.
2. The final engineering plans, Haeger Engineering dated 7/26/21 last revised
12/22/2 and engineer’s estimate of probable cost shall be revised in a manner
acceptable to the Village Engineer
3. A Public Improvement letter of credit will be a required condition at Final
Subdivision approval.
4. Review fees in the amount of 1.5% of the total project improvement costs (as
defined in the Village Code) will be a required condition at Final Subdivision
approval.
5. Cash-in-lieu of detention shall be paid at Final Subdivision approval and shall be
submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer. The Petitioner is
providing detention and this condition is not required.
5. The Final Plat of Annexation shall be submitted on Mylar with all required
signatures and shall significantly conform to the Plat of Annexation prepared by
Haeger Engineering and attached hereto.
6. A Subdivision Improvement Agreement shall be submitted in a manner
acceptable to the Village Attorney.
7. Recording fees shall be a required condition of Final Subdivision approval
8. A construction management schedule (including a contactor parking plan and
material hauling route plan) will be a required condition of Final Plat of
Subdivision.
9. Extra agency permits will be required for the development and will also be a
required condition of Final Plat of Subdivision. As a condition of Final Plat of
Subdivision, if required by the Village,
10. HOA declarations shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village
Attorney, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Ms. Williams made a motion to close the public hearing - 2nd by Mr. Noonan
