PUBLIC HEARING To consider the petition of John Wahlen of Cornerstone Development to rezone a property known as Tax Key No. 2176.995, 2173.995.001, & 2173.996.001 located on Martin Drive from M-1 - Light Industrial District and RSE - Suburban Estate District to PD - Planned Development District (based on RS-2 - Suburban Residence District) for the purpose of allowing a future single-family subdivision. Mr. Fahl stated this development is very similar to the Kirkland Crossing Development (just east of this development) which was recently approved. The site of the rezoning of the subdivision is about 21 acres and the tentative proposal is for 30 lots with two outlots (for stormwater management and open space). The 30 single-family lots results in approximately 1.41 units/acre which falls within the Medium Density Residential land use category. As part of the request, the developer is looking for zoning waivers. The following people spoke concerning the zoning: 1) Howard Schneider, W 186S6850 Jewel Crest Drive: Lives across the bay from where this new subdivision is going to be draining into the lake. The area has been dredged twice since 1985. He would like the City to take a good look at the stormwater system to make sure we don't get a bunch of stuff running into the lake.

He also said he would like to see sidewalks through the subdivision similar to Quietwood. 3) Alan Peters, 13600 Bishops Court, Brookfield: He is speaking on behalf of the applicant. They are requesting some setback adjustments due to the hills. In turn, they are allocating approximately 17% of the site for open space. They will make sure the stormwater system is done properly and adequately. Mayor Petfalski closed the Public Hearing at 6:18 pm. NEW BUSINESS Resolution #112-2021 - Resolution Authorizing the Issuance and Establishing Parameters for the Sale of Not to Exceed $10,700,000 Taxable General Obligation Refunding Bonds Mr. Mullen from Baird spoke to explain the refinance opportunity.
