RESOLUTION #P.C. 120-2004 - Approval of a Preliminary Plat and Detailed Site Analysis for
Valley View Estates Subdivision located in the SE ¼ of Section 4 (Tax Key No. 2173.991 /
Martin Drive). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a
motion to approve. Alderman Buckmaster seconded. Petitioner proposing a twenty lot single
family subdivision. The parcels meet the RS-2 zoning requirements. Petitioner has been
unsuccessful in obtaining the lands abutting Rossmar Drive. Consequently, a temporary
easement will be incorporated and the road would go through sometime in the future. Parks
Board recommended a trail along Martin Drive and a short access trail between Lots 16 and 17.
Staff feels the short access trail is unwarranted as Paige Street will access the Martin Drive trail
and a majority of the lots are south of Paige Street. A letter was submitted to the Plan
Department from residents in the Marlan Meadows Subdivision, on Rossmar Drive, requesting
that the street plan leave Rossmar Drive in the new subdivision as a cul-de-sac. Discussion
ensued regarding the safety issues for emergency vehicles to obtain access to both
subdivisions. It was determined that this item along with the possibility of changing the street
name should be addressed at the next Public Works meeting. The Conservation Commission
recommended preservation restrictions be implemented along the south tree line. The City
Forester completed a site review and found developer complied with recommendation.
Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend the resolution changing the first BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED to read as follows, That further review will be discussed at Parks &
Recreation Board for recommendation, before Final Plat for road connection between

Kastello property from RS-2, Suburban Residence District to RS-3, Suburban Residence
District, located in the SE ¼ of Section 5 (Tax Key Nos. 2180.973 / W193 S6918 Hillendale
Drive). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to
approve. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Petitioner requesting a rezoning from RS-2,
Suburban Residence District to RS-3, Suburban Residence District to allow for a future land
division. The surrounding areas are zoned RS-3 and the 2010 plan allows for residential uses
consistent with the RS-3 zoning district. If a land division is pursued, a dedication of lands
along Hillendale Drive will be a requirement. A Public Hearing was held on January 25, 2005
with one individual opposing the rezoning. No outside input has been received by the Plan
Department. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 012-2005 was ADOPTED unanimously.

motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. This request for rezoning is in
conjunction with the next item on this agenda, Resolution #P.C. 122-2004. The rezoning
request allows developer flexibility in design but also requires at least 50% of development
remain as open space. The
rezoning request for a conservation development allows bonus lots if conservation standards
are met. The 2010 Plan shows these lands for low density residential use and the development
meets this requirement. A Public Hearing was held on January 25, 2005. No one came
forward to speak for or against the rezoning. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 013-2005
was ADOPTED unanimously.
RESOLUTION #P.C. 122-2004 - Approval of a Final Plat for the Boxhorn Reserve Subdivision
located in the NE ¼ of Section 24 (Tax Key No. 2253.999.006 / Boxhorn Drive). This resolution
was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner
Stinebaugh seconded. Interim Plan Director Muenkel stated that a conservation development
must have at least 50% open space and this plat shows over 52% open space. This
development will be allowed three bonus lots over the original yield plan. The developer has
met three of the eight criteria. The three items met were: providing public access to
recreational or conservation areas; preserving features found in the Conservation Plan (Outlot 2
being identified as a high acquisition priority); and improving water quality through higher
stormwater management standards. Alderman Buckmaster made a motion to amend the
resolution to add, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That boundary lines for lot 10
and lot 11 are redrawn to insure that wetlands are inside Outlot 2. Commissioner Hulbert

Lane). This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to
approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. This petition is related to more of a
screening device than an accessory structure. The structure is known as a carport housing two
boats and a lawn tractor. The structure conforms to setbacks and offsets. The property is within
a remote location with dense vegetation surrounding the area. Petitioner provided a letter of
support from the neighbor to the north and has a view of the screening device. Consensus by
Plan Commission was that these screening devices must be addressed on a case-by-case
basis as architectural elements can vary. Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to amend
resolution to add, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That carport will not be enclosed.
Commissioner Michalski seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 016-2005 was
Amended unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, AMENDED Resolution #P.C. 016-2005 was
