limitations associated with infill projects; and addition of the County Transportation Fee

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.
