Minutes of a Regular Meeting Oswego Village President and Board of Trustees October 24, 2005 Page 4 of 12 Aye: Ronald Weilert Lori West Brian LeClercq Rodger Long Charlie Pajor Braden Rock Nay: None Absent: None The motion was declared carried with six (6) aye votes. NEW BUSINESS Prairie Crossings (Kleronomos Property) – 1.5 Mile Jurisdictional Review Chris Funkhouser of Schoppe Design and Attorney John Philipchuck were present to represent the Applicant, Wiseman-Hughes. Attorney Philichuck explained to the Board that this property is closer to the Plainfield Village limits; Plainfield ceded jurisdiction for this development to the Village of Oswego; Wiseman-Hughes will be selling the lots to custom and semi-custom builders. Aaron Rucker’s memo stated that the applicant has proposed a 136-acre residential development consisting of 81 estate-style single family lots with 58-59 acres of open space. The property is located within 1.5 miles of the Oswego Village limits. The Plan Commission considered this request at their meeting on October 6, 2005; the Community Development Committee reviewed the request at their meeting on October 13, 2005. President Pro Temp Pajor explained that the Plan Commission and Community Development Committee concerns were access to Plainfield Road and Cherry Road. Attorney Philipchuck stated that they would abide by any County request for roadway improvements to Plainfield Road; Cherry Road is a Township road and they would abide by the Township requests as well. Board discussion included the fact that as a development through the County, no fees could be collected; lots sizes in comparison to the adjacent Southfield Estates development; increasing the lot sizes adjacent to the Southfield Estates development and decreasing lot sizes as they move away from Southfield Estates; waiting to consult the County Water Study when completed to determine if this area could support well and septic systems; smaller lot sizes and greater densities that would be necessary if developed in the Village; and the inability of the County to negotiate school and transportation fees. There was Board concern that continuing to add shallow wells would affect the water levels. Attorney Silverman asked if the County has land/cash for the schools. Attorney Philipchuck responded that they do; he also noted that this property is not contiguous with the Village of Oswego and it could be some time before it becomes contiguous; filing a legal objection would impede the development of this property. The Board did not support the development of this subdivision in the County. Attorney Silverman explained that the Board could not file a legal objection because a resolution had not been prepared; they could agree to file a legal objection and have the resolution prepared for the next meeting. The Board agreed to file a Legal Objection; this will be presented as a Resolution to File a Legal Objection to the Zoning Map Amendment at the Special meeting to be held on November 7, 2005. Reata of Oswego – Annexation Agreement; Annexation; Rezoning; and Preliminary PUD and Subdivision Plat (First Read of Ordinances) Attorney Philipchuck was present to represent Saratoga Homes. Attorney Philipchuck noted that at the last meeting the Board heard from the Traffic Engineer and that all requested changes had been made to the Annexation Agreement; the density has been reduced by one (1) lot to achieve the desired lot widths. Attorney Philipchuck requested that this proceed to Second Read of Ordinance so that a full Board would be in attendance for the vote. Board discussion included the desire for larger lots; the fact that this is an infill project and the

Mr. Philipchuck agreed that the County Transportation Fee language would be added. This will proceed to Second Read of Ordinance at the Regular Meeting on November 14, 2005. The Townes at Southbury (Pod 3) -- Preliminary PUD and Subdivision Plat (First Read of Ordinance) Attorney Dan Kramer and Chris Lannert of the Lannert Group were present to represent the applicant. Karen James’ report explained that Ocean Atlantic has requested approval of the Preliminary PUD and Subdivision Plat for the Townes at Southbury (pod 3). The property is currently zoned R-4 General Residence District and generally located south of Herren’s Run Subdivision and west of Southbury Blvd. Approval would establish the development parameters for a multi-family residential subdivision consisting of 105 units on 13.88 acres with 4.13 acres of additional open space. The Plan Commission considered this request during a Public Hearing on October 6, 2006; the Community Development Committee reviewed the request at their meeting on October 13, 2005. Mr. Lannert presented the plans for both The Townes at Southbury and the Seasons at Southbury (the Seasons is the next agenda item). He noted that all staff comments have been satisfied except one (1), the detention between Herren’s Run and this development; this development added open space to the overall plan; the townhome units will have a minimum of 33% with trellises and shutters in the back. Mr. Lannert presented the only outstanding issue being the pavement width; the Annexation Agreement states 28 foot back-to-back pavement, they are requesting 24 foot back-to-back pavement. He explained that if there is 28 foot pavement they lose the guest parking that is clustered throughout the development. The Board asked Chief Baird and Jerry Weaver if they anticipated any problems with the reduced pavement. Chief Baird responded that if there were only 24 foot pavement there would be no parking on the street and it must be posted before any occupancy permits were issued. Mr. Weaver and Mr. Schiber cited safety as the main reason for wanting the 28 foot pavement. Mr. Lannert noted that each unit has a 2-car garage and another 2 cars could be parked in the driveway and the Homeowners Association would be responsible for the snow plowing of the guest parking areas, sidewalks and driveways. The Board did not support the reduced pavement width in either pod (6 or 3); there was no additional Board discussion or questions. Ordinance No. 05 -- 135 -- A motion was made by Trustee LeClercq and seconded by Trustee Weilert to waive Second Read and approve Ordinance No. 05-135 An Ordinance Granting a Preliminary Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) and Subdivision Plat for Ocean Atlantic Corporation in the Village of Oswego, Kendall County, Illinois commonly known as the Townes at Southbury (Pod 3) with the requirement of 28-foot back-to-back pavement width and no parking on the street. Aye: Brian LeClercq Ronald Weilert Lori West Braden Rock Charlie Pajor Rodger Long Nay: None Absent: None The motion was declared carried with six (6) aye votes. Seasons at Southbury (Pod 6) – Preliminary PUD and Subdivision Plat (First Read of Ordinance) Attorney Dan Kramer and Chris Lannert of the Lannert Group were present to represent the applicant. Karen James’ memo explained that Ocean Atlantic had requested approval of the
