. . -. . If not, the number of unIts ~ould ~I",ply be adjusted to conform (or Q variance would ce requIred. 4. In general, we suSgest that the larger structure adjusted to the site as the larger scale drawings will show, co!"stitute a desirable development propOSQI. The structure is designed by the Hodlle/Stagerberg Partners, is well . done, and will constitute a d16ilable asset to the arco and the Village as a whole. 5. Directly south of the center of this site there is Q village pork, which was integrated into the entire site desigo in the initial proposal in 1967. .'" substantial portion of the property in question, consisting of apprOJ<imately the west~ly one-quarter of the area, is proposed to be integrated with the existing village park property. It is highly desirable thaI this be done inasmuch as this westerly quarter of the R-3A property contains 0 nice pond and tree area vmich should logically be a part of the overall open speC'e in the area. This open space is being used as a part or the d~sity calculations in arriving at the 207 units proposed. Oiscvssing the handling of this open space with the applicant, he indicates his desire to be able to develop this land so that it would constitute a real aesthetic asset. After this has been done the applicant suggests that the land might be given to the Village either by easement or fee title for the purpose of making it a pennonent parl of the overall pork. Though the Villoge then beco"',es responsible for the maintenance of this area, we su99est that it would represC'lt a real public cuet to the areo os much or more so than other public parks in the village. To make this work . the best it is important that both park$ be rough !)raded at the same time during the development stag~. At the time the overall plans w~re accepted, the applicant agreed verbally to accomplish this joint grading so os to achieve the maximum desirable effect. We suggest that the Village then time its development investment for their portion of the pork at the same time as the applicant develops its portion. We svggcst therefore, that the development plan be approved With Q condlhon thot II e applicant grade both sites in question in occordance With an agreed upon park development plan and that the applicant transfer title or easemenl rights to the Village with some reasonabl., time limit in the future. The Ilmitotion on tIme might well be related to that point wf1en three-quarte~ of the totol 31 acres has been developed with perhaps a stipulation thot it not exceed 5 yeoll. 6. In general, we feel thaI the overa1! development pion involving the 31 acres represents a distinct asset to the Village and an oPPolh,nity tor 0 substantial improvement ov~r the old grid Ifen plot. Obv iausly, during the period of its development it will be essential to have maximum cooperation between the appll(xmt ond the Village. ThiS fllst development stoge represents the first opportunIty to put this cooperotion into effect. '", ~ $ } ~ 1 " :j . /\~ ~1 "I ~ I ~ ;-.~: .~! 'l1! " ..: If,' "~! .: '" '/. ~t~ ): .t 1 ~ .. t ~
