Second Reading. Alderperson Kubacki moved to approve. Alderperson Terrence seconded. Planner Trzebiatowski briefly reviewed the proposed development and responded to some of the concerns expressed at the Public Hearing. The Plan Commission has recommended approval. He did note that a barricade could be placed as a visual deterrent at the end of the road stub (between Lots 81 and 82). This could address the concerns of the adjacent property owner regarding trespassing. Mr. Bill Carity was present. He is part of the development team. He agreed to preserve the existing eastern tree line. He would do this by providing a 20' to 30' preservation area easement over said trees and this area would be a no touch zone.

The City is in favor of the proposal because it preserves a large environmental corridor. Motion carried 6 in favor.
